The aim of this study was to evaluate the microleakage of teeth according to root canal preparation with & without apical enlargement in various size of apical foramen. 60 extracted one canal roots were cross-cutted at 5 mm from root apex and divided into two groups according to their apical foramen size of large (L) and small (S). Each group was subdivided into two groups accordance with their cross-sectional configuration at 5 mm from apex, round (R) and ovoid (O); SR Group, SO Group LR Group, LO Group. Each group was shaped in .02 taper by Quantec series Nickel-Titanium (NiTi) rotary file, obturated by lateral condensation method. Leakage was measured using a fluid transport model under 40 $cmH_2O$ pressure. After the leakage test, blocks which had showed the leakage retreated with .04 taper and ,06 taper and evaluated the degree of fluid filtration in each group. The data was analysed statistically using chi-square test and fisher's exact test. The results obtained were as follows : 1. Significant difference in leakage was found in groups which had different apical foramen size in .02 taper instrumentation (p < 0.05), but not in .04 taper instrumentation (p > 0.05) 2. The difference in microleakage according to the shape of canal was not evident at 5 mm from apex (p > 0.05). 3. There was correlation between .02 taper instrumentation and .04 taper instrumentation in LR group, LO group (p < 0.05).

In this paper, the finite element analysis of a valve screw for a LPG cylinder has been presented on the leakage safety and strength one, which are computed and investigated by a contact normal stress and von Mises stress between a female screw of a valve and a male screw of a neck ring in a LPG bombe. The LP gas charging pressure of a LPG bombe is $8{\sim}9kg/cm^2$, which is pressurized to the screw sealing contact areas between a valve and a LP gas cylinder. The peak failures of the screw tooth height due to a scratch wear and chipping loss of the contact area may decrease screw tooth strength and increase a leakage of a LP gas. These are strongly affect to the contact normal and von Mises stresses of the valve screws. The FEM computed results show that the tooth height loss due to a wear and chipping failure of the screw peak does not affect to the LP gas leak and strength of a valve screw theoretically. But if the tooth wear of the screw height of a brass valve overpasses the critical strength safety of the valve, the valve screw may be failed in fastening the valve and a LP gas bombe suddenly.

In this study, the $Ni_{0.9}Co_{0.05}Ti_{0.05}(OH)_2$ precursor was prepared by the concentration gradient co-precipitation method. In order to overcome the structural change due to oxygen desorption in the cathode active material with high nickel content, the physical and electrochemical analysis of the cathode active material according to the calcination temperature were investigated. Physical properties of $Li_{1.05}Ni_{0.9}Co_{0.05}Ti_{0.05}O_2$ were analyzed by FE-SEM, XRD and TGA. The electrochemical performance of the coin cell using a cathode active material and $LiPF_6$(EC:EMC=1:2 vol%) electrolyte was evaluated by the initial charge/discharge efficiency, cycle retention, and rate capabilities. As a result, the initial capacity and initial efficiency of cathode materials were excellent with 244.5~247.9 mAh/g and 84.2~85.8% at the calcination temperature range of $750{\sim}760^{\circ}C$. Also, the capacity retention exhibited high stability of 97.8~99.1% after 50cycles.

The noise prediction of motor driving system is one of the most important parts in EV/HEV, as the number of power electronic devices increases. This paper describes the mechanism of noise making process and proposes a simulation model of motor driving system for the prediction of the conducted noise. Theoretical calculations and model based simulations were carried out. DOD-dependent-battery parameters were extracted by AC analysis, and an inverter model including dynamic diode was used. Furthermore, 2-D EM tool was used for the motor modeling and was combined with the circuit models of battery and inverter. The simulated voltages, currents and spectrums in the motor driving system showed qualitatively meaningful results, suggesting the validness of the suggested modeling methods.

치과재료에 사용되는 금속재료는 주로 스테인리스강, 타이타늄, Ni-Ti, Co-Cr등과 같은 특수합금이 주로 사용되고 있다. 이들 재료는 치과 보철물과 교정재료 및 충전재료로 주로 사용되고 있으며 그 외 치과에서 사용되는 기기나 기구에도 많이 활용되고 있다. 특히 치과 보철물을 사용하여 치료를 원하는 환자가 최근에 급격히 증가하면서 임플란트 고정체와 나사 등을 이용한 치료법의 연구와 개발이 필요하게 되어 세계적으로 연구와 투자가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나 재료의 설계나 합금의 설계 및 제품의 설계상의 문제로 인하여 생체조직과 결합하는데 많은 문제점이 임상적으로 발생되고 있다. 즉 임플란트 표면의 생체적합성부여, 고정체와의 결합시 파절이나 풀림현상, 골에 고정체로 사용하는 나사의 강도와 내마모성문제 등이 개선되어야 할 문제점으로 남아있다. 또한 총의치에 사용되는 자석 어태치먼트의erosion-corrosion문제, 교정선의 탄성 과 마모저항문제 등은 앞으로 계속적인 연구를 행하여야할 과제로 남아있다. 또한 국소의치에서 사용되는 frame은 정밀주조법을 통하여 제조하며 주조상의 결함 등으로 인한 클라스프의 파절 문제점이 발생되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 치과재료로 사용되는 임플란트 고정체, 나사, 교정용 선등의 문제점을 고찰하고, 지금까지 이루어진 연구를 중심으로 최적의 개선 조건을 찾고자하였다. 최근첨단소재 및 금속재료를 사용하여 치과재료 합금을 설계할 수 있는 연구가 활발히 진행된다면 수입에 의존하고 있는 고가의 치과재료를 값이 싼 고성능의 제품으로 대체할 수 있는 효과가 클 것으로 생각된다.>$\rho$$\sub$0/=1.8 %.

It is a method to treat pain using medication, neurotomy, and surgery. And acupuncture, ultrasound, electric treatment, and magnetic treatment are applied as a alternative physiotherapy. Electronic therapy is useful but it can be affected by impedance of skin or subcutaneous tissue. So, percutaneous stimulation is leading therapy, that is very randomly. We developed the system which can stimulate parts of acupuncture point noninvasively using the focused magnetic field. And we designed the magnetic stimulation electrode which is considered efficiency of the magnetic stimulation. It can make similar stimulation with manual acupuncture. To confirm the availability and reliability we compared Meridian Electronic Potential(MEP) change between manual acupuncture and magnetic stimulation. From this result, we found out the MEP changes of manual acupuncture and magnetic stimulation were similar. And there were various response properties as changes of stimulation method, intensity, and frequency. Also, the MEP change can be induced by electromagnetic stimulation. We confirmed that it is possible to use electromagnetic stimulation as a acupoint stimulation or pain treatment instrument.

Objectives: The purpose of this experiment was to evaluate four different polishing systems of their polishability and polishing time. Materials and Methods: 4 mm diameter and 2 mm thickness Teflon mold was made. Z-250 (3M ESPE) hybrid composite resin was slightly overfilled and pressed with slide glass and cured with Optilux 501 for 40 sec each side. Then the surface roughness (glass pressed: control group) was measured with profilometer. One surface of the specimen was roughened by #320 grit sand paper and polished with one of the following polishing systems; Sof-Lex (3M ESPE), Jiffy (Ultradent), Enhance (Dentsply/Caulk), or Pogo (Dentsply/Caulk). The surface roughness and the total polishing time were measured. The results were analyzed with one-way ANOVA and Duncan's multiple range test. Results: The surface roughness was lowest in Pogo, and highest in Sof-Lex. Polishing times were shortest with Pogo, and followed by the Sof-Lex, Enhance and Jiffy. Conclusions: One-step polishing system (Pogo) is very effective to get the smooth surface in a short time, therefore it can be recommended for final polishing system of the restoration.

S.M.C (DSME), only operating gold mine in Korea, is processing about 160 ton/day to recover gold and more than 150 ton/day of tailing is produced. Some portion of the tailings are used as a filler material after drying, but most of them are stored on the tailing dam. As a result of chemical analysis by a fire assay method, it contained Au 1.5~2.0 g/ton and 225~300 g per day of gold is getting discarded. It is urgent to develop a technology to recover and reutilize Au. In the present study, flotation tests were carried out to recovery gold for the tailings. Test results show that products with gold grade 21.31 g/ton(Au grade) and 62.73% (Au recovery) were obtained under the optimal conditions including KAX addition rate 97.2 g/ton, frother AF 65 (0.248 l/ton) and depressant sodium silicate (4 kg/ton), it's possible to recover one of the most valuable metal Au, by re-feeding to rougher flotation.

In the future network such as Internet of Things (IoT), the number of computing devices are expected to grow exponentially, and each of the things communicates with the others and acquires information by itself. Due to the growing interest in IoT applications, the broadcasting in Opportunistic ad-hoc networks such as Machine-to-Machine (M2M) is very important transmission strategy which allows fast data dissemination. In distributed networks for IoT, the energy efficiency of the nodes is a key factor in the network performance. In this paper, we propose a fuzzy logic based probabilistic multi-hop broadcast (FPMCAST) algorithm which statistically disseminates data accordingly to the remaining energy rate, the replication density rate of sending node, and the distance rate between sending and receiving nodes. In proposed FPMCAST, the inference engine is based the fuzzy rule base which is consists of 27 if-then rules. It maps input and output parameters to membership functions of input and output. The output of fuzzy system defines the fuzzy sets for rebroadcasting probability, and defuzzification is used to extract a numeric result from the fuzzy set. Here Center of Gravity (COG) method is used to defuzzify the fuzzy set. Then, the performance of FPMCAST is evaluated through a simulation study. From the simulation, we demonstrate that the proposed FPMCAST algorithm significantly outperforms flooding and gossiping algorithms. Specially, the FPMCAST algorithm has longer network lifetime because the residual energy of each node consumes evenly.
