It is common for clinicians to encounter endodontically tl·treated teeth that contain posts within their roots. If endodontic treatment is failed, these posts must be removed to facilitate successful nonsurgical retreatment. There have been many techniques such as ultrasonic instrument, Ruddle post removal system, Eggler post remover and Masserann kit developed to facilitate removal of posts from the root canal space. But these methods may be disadvantageous because long length of time required for post removal and fracture of post or teeth. In now days new post removal technique using ATD automatic bridge remover was introduced. Advantages of this method are simple and short time consuming compare to others. This article served as a successful case report of post removal using ATD automatic bridge remover.

현재 중복 제거 기술은 클라이언트 기반 중복 제거 모델, 인라인(in-line) 중복 제거 모델 그리고 포스트 프로세스(post-process) 중복 제거 모델로 구분할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 클라이언트와 서버의 부하를 모니터링하여 시스템 부하에 따라 중복 제거의 핵심 작업을 동적으로 변경한다. 즉, 클라이언트가 유휴하고 서버의 자원 사용량이 높은 경우에는 클라이언트 기반 중복 제거 모델로 동작시키고, 클라이언트의 자원 사용량이 높고 서버가 유휴한(idle) 경우에는 인라인 중복 제거 모델로 동작시킨다. 그리고 전체 시스템이 과부하인 경우는 포스트 프로세스 모델로 동작하게 된다. 제안하는 방식에 대한 실험 결과 전체 시스템의 처리율이 높아지는 것을 확인하였다.

무선 통신 환경에서 간섭과 잡음으로 인한 채널 추정 오류는 데이터 검출을 위한 등화 성능을 현저하게 저하시킨다. 포스트 프로세싱은 채널 추정 이후에 이러한 추정 오류를 줄이기 위한 작업이며, 여기서는 소수의 채널 계수만이 무선 채널의 다중 경로에 의한 신호 성분을 갖는 무선 채널의 특성을 이용하여 신호 성분을 포함하지 않은 계수를 선별하고 이를 제거함으로써 채널 추정 오류를 줄이는 방법을 위한 순환 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존 알고리즘은 잡음 분산을 기준으로 문턱값을 결정하고, 그 문턱 값보다 작은 계수는 신호성분을 포함하지 않는다고 간주하여 이를 제거하였다. 제안된 순환 알고리즘은 잡음 분산의 추정치를 반복이 진행됨에 따라 갱신하여 이를 기준으로 구한 문턱값을 이용한 포스트 프로세싱을 반복함으로써 채널 추정 성능을 개선시킨다. 제안된 방법은 기존의 방법과 유사한 복잡도를 갖는 반복 횟수를 적용하는 경우에 월등히 성능이 개선되며, 특히 반복 횟수를 조절함으로써 처리 시간과 채널 추정 성능을 최적화할 수 있는 유연성을 갖고 있다.

본 논문에서는 전기적으로 소형인 공동의 내부에 급전 및 무급전 포스트를 개구면과 평행으로 배치하고 무급전 포스트에 접속시킨 외부 리액턴스를 이용하여 공동을 강제적으로 공진시킬 수 있으며, 또한 개구면과 대향하고 있는 공동벽을 제거함으로써 안테나의 열 특성이 양호할 뿐만 아니라 안테나의 무게도 줄일 수 있는 소형의 공동 안테나를 제안하고 있다. 본 안테나는 마이크로파 회로부를 공동에 접한 측면부분에 장착시킬 수 있는 구조적 특징을 가지고 있다. 이론해석의 곁과. 개구면의 폭이 좁을수록 공동의 깊이를 얕게 할 수 있으므로 공동의 제적을 줄일 수 있다는 것을 확인하고 있다.

In multi-user MIMO systems, a base station transmits multiple data to multi-user simultaneously in order to improve performance and bandwidth efficiency. When the base station transmits multiple data to multi-user simultaneously, multi-user interference occurs severely. In this paper, we define a post-processing leakage as the total power leaked from desired user to all other users after combining at the output of each user. Using concept of the post-processing leakage, we also define a performance metric, the so called signal-to-post-processing-leakage-plus-noise ratio (SPPLNR). Assuming that the receiver is the minimum mean square error (MMSE) receiver, we propose an iterative SPPLNR-based beamforming that determines beamforming vectors and combining vectors by using an iterative method. The proposed scheme does not impose a condition on the relation between the number of transmit antennas for the base station and the number of receive antennas for users. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme outperforms a beamforming scheme perfectly eliminating the multi-user interference when channel estimation error exists.

본 논문에서는 ELA(Edge Line based Average) 알고리즘이 잡음 영상에서 IPC할 때 생기는 문제점을 개선하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 먼저 잡음을 제거하는 필터링과 동시에 잡음이 없는 원화소의 크기와 잡음의 크기를 추정한다. 이에 따라 잡음의 크기를 고려하여 ELA 방법과 수직보간 방법에 가중치를 주어 보간값을 구한다. 이 후 잡음이 존재할 경우 포스트 필터링(Post Filtering)을 거쳐 잔재해 있는 잡음을 제거해준다. 실험결과 제안하는 알고리즘이 기존 ELA 알고리즘들 보다도 향상된 결과를 보인다.

This clinical report describes the dental treatment of canine teeth fractures in three cats. These animals were diagnosed by oral examination and dental radiography as having fractured teeth with pulpal exposure. After endodontic treatment was completed, root canal filling material was removed from the coronal access and a trial post placement was performed. The post was permanently cemented after shortening. Teeth were etched and a bonded composite resin core formed and then shaped using rotary instruments. Fractured canine teeth were treated without any complications observed during a six-month follow-up period, proving that fractured cat canine teeth can be treated successfully with root canal therapy followed by restorative treatment with posts and composite resin.

The fiber-reinforced endodontic posts were prepared using a photocurable resin and a glass fiber. The mechanical property of the posts increased with increasing density of glass fiber and the micro-pores in the post were removed by a vacuum impregnation process. To improve the interfacial adhesion between glass fiber and polymer, silane coupling agent was used. The surface treatment of glass fiber increased the surface wettability of resing on glass fiber and increased the adhesion property with resin, consequently improved the mechanical property of posts.

The purpose of this study was to compare the push-out strength of a fiber post cemented with various resin cements. Newly extracted 36 human mandibular premolars which had single root canal were selected and their crown portions were removed. The root canal was instrumented using $PROTAPER^{TM}$ system and obturated using continuous wave technique. In each root, a 9-mm deep post space was prepared. #2 translucent fiber post (DT Light post, Bisco Inc., Schaumburg, IL, U.S.A.) was cemented using injection technique with Uni-dose needle tip (Bisco) and six different resin cements. The tested resin cements were Duo-Link (Bisco Inc., Schaumburg, IL, U.S.A.), Variolink II (Ivoclar-Vivadent AG, Schann, Liechtenstein), Panavia F (Kuraray Medical Inc., Okayama, Japan), Multilink Automix (Ivoclar-Vivadent AG, Schann, Liechtenstein), RelyX Unicem (3M ESPE Dental Products, St. Paul, MN, U.S.A.), and Maxcem (Kerr Co., CA, U.S.A.). After storage in distilled water for 24 hours, each root was transversally sectioned into approximately 1-mm thick sections. This procedure resulted in 6 serial sections per root. Push-out test wasperformed using a universal testing machine (EZ Test, Shimadzu Co.) with a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min. The data were analyzed with one-way ANOVA and Tukey HSD (p=0.05). The push-out strength of the groups which cemented fiber post with Panavia F and Multilink Automix were lower than those of the other groups. But, there were no statistically significant difference among groups at a probability level of 0.05.

The purpose of present study was to compare the speed of coronal leakage before and after post space preparation using Streptococcus mutans. Forty straight extracted human teeth were selected. The crowns were removed to a uniform remaining root length 14 mm. Canals were enlarged by 06 taper $Profiles^{(R)}$ to a size $\#40$ as a master apical file. And these were filled with gutta percha point and $Tubuliseal^{(R)}$ sealer, using continuous wave technique. Groupings are as follows. Group 1 - These teeth were obturated without sealer. Group 2 - These teeth were obturated and covered the surface of the root completely with sticky wax. Group 3 - These teeth were obturated. Group 4 - These teeth were obturated and prepared for post space remaining 5 mm of gutta percha. The teeth were suspended in plastic tubes. The upper chamber received the bacterial suspension everyday to simulate clinical situation. The lower chamber consisted of BHI added Andrade's indicator. All roots in the positive control group (Group 1) turned yellow within 24 h and those of negative control group (Group 2) remained red throughout the experimental period (70 days) The samples of group 3 were contaminated within an average of 27.2 days. The samples of group 4 were contaminated within an average of 15.7 days, ranging from 9 to 22 days. There was significant difference between group 3 and group 4 statistically (p < 0.05).
