Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the fit and screw joint stability between Ready-made abutment and CAD-CAM custom-made abutment. Materials and methods: Osstem implant system was used. Ready-made abutment (Transfer abutment, Osstem Implant Co. Ltd, Busan, Korea), CAD-CAM custom-made abutment (CustomFit abutment, Osstem Implant Co. Ltd, Busan, Korea) and domestically manufactured CAD-CAM custom-made abutment (Myplant, Raphabio Co., Seoul, Korea) were fabricated five each and screws were provided by each company. Fixture and abutments were tightening with 30Ncm according to the manufacturer's instruction and then preloding reverse torque values were measured 3 times repeatedly. Kruskal-Wallis test was used for statistical analysis of the preloading reverse torque values (${\alpha}=.05$). After specimens were embedded into epoxy resin, wet cutting and polishing was performed and FE-SEM imaging was performed, on the contact interface. Results: The pre-loading reverse torque values were $26.0{\pm}0.30Ncm$ (ready-made abutment; Transfer abutment) and $26.3{\pm}0.32Ncm$ (CAD-CAM custom-made abutment; CustomFit abutment) and $24.7{\pm}0.67Ncm$ (CAD-CAM custom-made abutment; Myplant). The domestically manufactured CAD-CAM custom-made abutment (Myplant abutment) presented lower pre-loading reverse torque value with statistically significant difference than that of the ready-made abutment (Transfer abutment) and CAD-CAM custom-made abutment (CustomFit abutment) manufactured from the same company (P=.027) and showed marginal gap in the fixture-abutment interface. Conclusion: Within the limitation of the present in-vitro study, in domestically manufactured CAD-CAM custom-made abutment (Myplant abutment) showed lower screw joint stability and fitness between fixture and abutment.

The turbochargers, which are used widely in diesel and gasoline engines, are an effective device to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. On the other hand, turbo-lag is one of the main problems of a turbocharger. Bearing friction losses is a major cause of turbo lag and is particularly intense in the lower speed range of the engine. Current turbochargers are mostly equipped with floating bearings: two journal bearings and one thrust bearing. This study focused on the bearing friction at the lower speed range and the experimental equipment was established with a drive-motor, load-cell, magnetic coupling, and oil control system. Finally, the friction losses of turbochargers were measured considering the influence of the rotating speed from 30,000rpm to 90,000rpm, oil temperature from $50^{\circ}C$ to $100^{\circ}C$, and oil supply pressure of 3bar and 4bar. The friction power losses were increased exponentially to 1.6 when the turbocharger speed was increased. Friction torques decreased with increasing oil temperature and increased with increasing oil pressure. Therefore, the oil temperature and pressure must be maintained at appropriate levels.

Turbocharging is widely used in diesel and gasoline engines as an effective way to reduce fuel consumption. But turbochargers have turbo-lag due to mechanical friction losses. Bearing friction losses are a major cause of mechanical friction losses and are particularly intensified in the lower speed range of the engine. Current turbochargers mostly use oil bearings (two journal bearings and one thrust bearing). In this study, we focus on the bearing friction in the lower speed range. Experimental equipment was made using a drive motor, load cell, magnetic coupling, and oil control system. We measured the friction losses of the turbocharger while considering the influence of the rotation speed, oil temperature, and pressure. The friction power losses increased exponentially when the turbocharger speed increased.

Deepwater oil is becoming more attractive because most onshore and shallow water oil is developing or developed. With the on-going trend to deepwater oil developments, flow assurance problems which prevent oil flow from reservoir to processing facilities are becoming an issue because deposited material can be occurred in case oil is exposed to very different environment from reservoir. Wax deposition which is one of flow assurance problems can be a major technical and economic issue because it is very sensitive to temperature. In order to predict and mitigate wax problems, the precise measurement of wax appearance temperature (WAT) which is the starting temperature of wax precipitation is very important. Various methods have been suggested for WAT measurement of opaque oil because there is no standard method for opaque oil. In this study, the WAT of opaque oil samples was measured using viscosity measurement method, differential scanning calorimetry, filter plugging method, and pressurized filter plugging method. Wax deposition test and high temperature gas chromatography analysis were applied to verify measured WAT. As a result of study, the WAT of opaque oils was successfully measured and verified. If WAT measurement methods of opaque oil related to oil characteristics is systematized using the results of this study, it can be a valuable tool for WAT measurement of opaque oil and flow assurance related to wax deposition.

This study aims to evaluate the body burden of workers in work environment monitoring with long-term (more than 10 years) low-level exposure to various chemicals. The subject workers were a total of 26 men and women who performed work environment monitoring tasks as the exposure group and those who did not perform such work among their co-workers at the same company as the control group. The exposure to various chemicals was examined through liver and biliary function with 12 indicators, renal function with four indicators, and blood and circulatory function with 16 indicators. The exposure group had significant variation compared to the control group for the indicators of serum GPT, ϒ-GTP, and total bilirubin for liver and biliary function, indicators of creatinine and uric acid for renal function, and indicators for neutral fats, red blood cell count, platelet count, hemoglobin, and hematocrit for blood and circulatory function. Long-term exposure to various chemicals at low levels might affect the variation of the indicators for liver and biliary, renal and blood, and circulatory function of workers. If low-concentration exposure to different hazardous chemicals occurs over a long period of more than 10 years, it could be a harmful factor to the health of workers who measure the working environment.

This study has been carried out to develop TM (Thermal to Mechanical) conversion systems for electric power generation using one of the Low Temperature Differential (LTD) Stirling engines called MM-7 capable of harnessing low temperature waste heat whose temperature is only $20{\sim}30^{\circ}C$ above the ambient. Measurements were made on the torque and rpm for a number of temperature differentials between the engine hot and cold ends, which could be effectively applied in developing the most suitable configuration for the high performance TM (Thermal to Mechanical) conversion system.

In this study, a new method of combustion characteristics have been proposed to reduce exhaust emissions in a diesel engine using four kinds of mixed fuel. Mixed fuels show four different torque ratios between diesel oil md natural gas, which are 4:0, 3:1, 2:2 and 1:3. In order to investigate the exhaust gas during combustion, exhaust gases are sampled by gas analyzer, for example NOx, Soot, CO, and HC, as the RPM changed. As a result, the NOx, CO, and HC concentrations of mixed fuel are higher than those of diesel oil only. However, the Soot concentration of mixed fuel is lower when diesel oil is burned.
