Full-mouth reconstruction of a patient using dental implants is a challenge if there is vertical and horizontal bone resorption. Therefore, it is should be cautious in making the fixed prostheses that restore the function and the esthetics of the gingiva and teeth. In full mouth rehabilitation, CAD/CAM system makes it possible to fabricate restorations with high precision, regardless of span of the restoration. Recently, Palladium-silver (Pd-Ag) alloy which is highly biocompatible and millingable has been developed to compensate for the shortcomings of the titanium or zirconia. This clinical report presents the reconstruction of a maxillary arch with a cement retained implant supported fixed prosthesis using a Pd-Ag alloy generated by CAD/CAM system on eleven osseointegrated implants. The occluding surfaces were made of Pd-Ag alloy, to decrease the risk of chipping or fracture. The prostheses were esthetically pleasing, and no clinical complications have been reported after two years.

This study is concernsed with the effect of a chimney drainage system installed at the back of reinforced soil block on preventing the pore water pressure development. A series of finite-element analyses based on transient seepage analysis were performed for a number of cases with different patterns of the chimney drainage system. The results were thoroughly analyzed to get insight into the mechanism of pore water pressure reduction effect of the chimney drainage system. It is shown that a vertical drainage system installed at the back of reinforced zone can be an effective means of maintaining the wall stability during rainfall by preventing pore pressure increase in the reinforced as well as the backfill zones. Also shown is that the optimum height of the chimney drain is 50% of the wall height. Practical implications of the findings were discussed.

The extent of impact dispersion is a function of parameters including gun geometry and tolerances, the foe control system, projectile manufacturing tolerances, etc. The study here investigates potential impact point accuracy improvement for a projectile realized by replacing the rigid nose cone wind screen with a passive nose. Toward this end, a nose projectile dynamic model is derived which consists of the standard six degrees of freedom similar to a rigid projectile plus three additional degrees of freedom associated with rotation of the nose with respect to the main projectile body. By Observing the pitch and yaw movement of the nose in the simulation results, it is believed to be possible to reduce the effects of uncertainties which is occurred at firing step.

A numerical and experimental studies are carried out to investigate the transient heat transfer characteristics of 5kWth dish type solar air receiver. Measured solar radiation and temperatures at several different locations are used as boundary conditions for numerical a. Many parameters' effects (reflectivity of the reflector, the thermal conductivity of the receiver body, transmissivity of the quartz window, etc.) on the thermal performance are investigated. Discrete Transfer Method is used to calculate the radiation heat exchange in the receiver. A transient heat transfer model is developed and the rate of radiation, convection and conduction heat transfer are calculated. Comparing of the experimental and the numerical results, results of both are in good agreement. Using the numerical model, the transient heat transfer characteristics of volumetric air receiver for dish type solar thermal systems are known and the transient thermal performance of the receiver can be estimated.

This paper presents the extraction scheme of the scattered waves by a target above the ground using the buried antenna in a lossy and dispersive medium. The half wave dipole antennas are used to transmit and to receive a signal. The transmission line model as a feeding model is considered to take into account the effect of transmission line in a real system. The ground is modeled by the 2nd order Debye approximation with the dispersion and loss. PLRC algorithm and DPML as absorbing boundary condition are utilized to apply the 2nd order Debye approximation to FDTD. To extract the scattered wave, in addition, we employed the delay time extraction algorithm. The simulations are conducted to observe the variation of magnitude in scattered wave and detection of target position according to the change of moisture content of the lossy medium.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the green-house gas emission reduction of the pump scheduling system applied to the water-supply facilities in all objectivity with AMS-II.C/Version 13 in CDM methodology. To calculate the baseline and project emission in Paldang Pumping Station (III) the data about water flow, water level, electricity consumption, etc. before and after the implementation of project was used. This study considers internal facility (mostly for lighting) electricity consumption and grid loss in order to get more accurate emission reductions. The methodology used in this study will be able to apply to different energy improvement techniques to calculate emission reductions in water supply facilities.

This paper presents the results of numerical investigation on the stability of reinforced earth wall during rainfall. A series of limit-equilibrium based slope stability analyses within the framework of unsaturated shear strength, coupled with transient seepage analyses, were conducted with due consideration of rainfall characteristics in Korea. It is shown that the factor of safety of the reinforced wall during rainfall decreases with time due to decreases in the suction in the reinforced as well as retained zones. Also revealed is that the decrease in the factor of safety depends not only on the backfill soil type but also on the rainfall characteristics. Practical implications of the findings were discussed.

This study describes the preparation of high-performance photocatalyst and its environmental applications. We prepared visible-light response nano-particle photocatalyst exhibiting the similar photocatalytic activity with $TiO_2$, dispersed $TiO_2$ on $SiO_2$ with an active rutile type titanium oxide prepared at low temperature. The binder and stable photocatalytic $TiO_2$ sol for photocatalytic system were also prepared. Such products were evaluated by UV/Vis spectrometer, X-ray diffraction analysis, SEM, measurement of photocatalytic activities and surface area, mechanical properties of $TiO_2$-coated surfaces. The results obtained can be applied in efficient photocatalytic systems using POF and metal plate for the purification of air.

In this study, the safety aspect of Maesil-cheongs with reduced amygdalin levels was investigated in terms of toxicokinetics and repeated oral toxicity. Plasma or UVC treatment was utilized to obtain Maesil-cheongs with reduced amygdalin levels. The toxicokinetic study demonstrated that the oral absorption of amygdalin decreased remarkably after a single-dose oral administration of both plasma- and UVC-treated Maesil-cheongs. The fourteen-day repeated oral toxicity study revealed that plasma- or UVC-treated Maesil-cheongs did not cause changes in body weight, food intake, water consumption, and absolute and relative organ weights. No significant effects on hematological and serum biochemical parameters were found. Histopathological examination showed no abnormality or toxicological change. These findings suggest that plasma- and UVC-treated Maesil-cheongs have no toxicity potential, and these processes will be useful to obtain products with safe, reduced amygdalin levels.
