We have experienced 5 cases of Pectus excavatum corrected by Ravitch method without use of K-wire or metal bar from Jan. 1985 to Apr. 1986. All cases were male. The symmetric depression was in 4 cases, asymmetric one was in one case. The chief complaints were dyspnea on exertion, frequent U.R.I. and inferiority. The flail chest was developed in all cases, but it was insignificant in all cases except one who needed assist ventilation. Mediastinitis was developed in one case one week postoperatively but well managed with drainage. A distance from the posterior surface of sternum to the anterior surface of vertebral body was estimated preoperatively and postoperatively. Postoperative result was evaluated as the change of distance postoperatively. The change was 1.5cm minimally to 3.5cm maximally. Late results were "Excellent" in 3 cases and "Good" in 2 cases.uot; in 2 cases.

Three patients who sustained penetrating stab wound of the heart have been treated successfully by emergency thoracotomy in the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Chonnam University Hospital. There were two knife and one glass wound. The location of the injury were all on the right ventricle, but in one patient, it was penetrated to ventricular septum. All patients were in shock with a systolic pressure under 60 mmHg when admitted to the emergency room. In one of the three patients, blood pressure was not detectable and subsequently cardiac arrest. Two patients required immediate thoracotomy because of intrathoracic hemorrhage and increased pericardial tamponade and the other one required prompt thoracotomy because of sudden onset of cardiac arrest. There were no death postoperatively. Two patients are living without any complication in 4 years and 4 weeks after operation. One who had penetrating wound to ventricular septum, turned to cardiac decompensation, but he is living now in 4$\frac{1}{2}$ years after operation. Exploratory thoracotomy should be performed immediately in all the patients in whom a penetrating wound of the heart or pericardial tamponade following a penetrating wound of the chest wall is suspected.

The purpose of this study was to examine differences in microleakage of enamel-sealant interface when all-in-one adhesives were used compared with conventional acid etching and single-bottle adhesive system. Seventy-five extracted permanent third molars were randomly divided into 5 groups and treated with only Etching, $Adper^{TM}\;Single\;Bond^{TM}\;Adper^{TM}\;Prompt^{TM}$ L-Pop, AQ-bond and One-up Bond F each. After sealant application, the samples were thermocycled and the degree of microleakage was determined. The results were as follows : 1. Group 3, 4, 5 using the all-in-one adhesive system showed significantly higher microleakage score than Group 1(p<0.05). 2. The lowest mean microleakage score was Group 2(0.41) followed by Group 1(1.05) Group 3(1.65), Group 4(2.85) and Group 5(3.05). 3. Among Groups using all-in-one adhesives, Group 3 showed significantly lower mean microleakage score than the other groups(p<0.05) but showed significantly higher mean score than both Group 1 and Group 2(p<0.05). 4. There was no statistically significant difference(p>0.05) between Group 4 and Group 5. 5. In SEM examination, all the groups used all-in-one adhesive showed shorter resin tags than Group 1.

The purpose of this study was to review materials that could provide basic data about sports brassieres. In this study, 486 sports brassieres were collected online from 31 brands between November 2015 and February 2016. First, the comparison of compression and encapsulation in sports brassieres identified many different styles. The characteristics of compression brassieres included a cut cup, the front center height of a full cup, round neckline, short front hem, all in one shoulder strap with a patterned racerback design, all in one closure, no wire, and separation cup styles. The characteristics of encapsulation brassieres included a V-shape neckline, mixed round shoulder strap design, back closure, and all in one cup. Second, the comparison of domestic and international sports brassieres sorted the items differently. The characteristics of domestic products included compression brassieres, non-cut cup, the front center height of a full cup, round neckline, short front hem, an all in one shoulder strap with a patterned round design, all in one closure, no wire, and a separation cup. The characteristics of international products included a cut up, racerback shoulder strap design, and an all in one cup. Third, the analysis of domestic and international sports brassieres sizes found that six options were available for domestic compression sports brassieres and nine sizes were available for international products. Domestic encapsulation sports brassieres offered five under bust sizes and five cup sizes. International products offered eight under bust sizes and sixteen cup sizes.

The efficiency of the multiplier largely depends on the representation of finite filed elements such as normal basis, polynomial basis, dual basis, and redundant representation, and so on. In particular, the redundant representation is attractive since it can simply implement squaring and modular reduction. In this paper, we propose an efficient bit-parallel multiplier for GF(2m) defined by an irreducible all-one polynomial using a redundant representation. We modify the well-known multiplication method which was proposed by Karatsuba to improve the efficiency of the proposed bit-parallel multiplier. As a result, the proposed multiplier has a lower space complexity compared to the previously known multipliers using all-one polynomials. On the other hand, its time complexity is similar to the previously proposed ones.

In fuzzy expert systems or database systems that have volumes of fuzzy data or large fuzzy rules, the inference time is much increased. Therefore, a high performance parallel fuzzy computing environment is needed. In this paper, we propose a parallel fuzzy inference mechanism in parallel computing environments. In this, fuzzy rules are distributed and executed simultaneously. The ONE_TO_ALL algorithm is used to broadcast the fuzzy input input vector to the all nodes. The results of the MIN/MAX operations are transferred to the output processor by the ALL_TO_ONE algorithm. By parallel processing of fuzzy or data, the parallel fuzzy inference algortihm extracts effective and achieves and achieves a good speed factor.

The performance of one-particle stochastic Lagrangian models for passive tracer dispersion are evaluated against measurements in horizontally-homogeneous neutrally-stratified atmospheric surface layer. State-of-the-technology models as well as classical Langevin models, all in class of well mixed models are numerically implemented for inter-model comparison study. Model results (far-downstream asymptotic behavior and vertical profiles of the time averaged concentrations, concentration fluxes, and concentration fluctuations) are compared with the reported measurements. The results are: 1) the far-downstream asymptotic trends of all models except Reynolds model agree well with Garger and Zhukov's measurements. 2) profiles of the average concentrations and vertical concentration fluxes by all models except Reynolds model show good agreement with Raupach and Legg's experimental data. Reynolds model produces horizontal concentration flux profiles most close to measurements, yet all other models fail severely. 3) With temporally correlated emissions, one-particle models seems to simulate fairly the concentration fluctuations induced by plume meandering, when the statistical random noises are removed from the calculated concentration fluctuations. Analytical expression for the statistical random noise of one-particle model is presented. This study finds no indication that recent models of most delicate theoretical background are superior to the simple Langevin model in accuracy and numerical performance at well.

Forty extracted human mandibular second molars with C-shaped canal were chosen to study the anatomy of the root canal. The experimental teeth were injected with china ink, decalcified and cleared with Winter green oil, in vitro, to study the number of root, root canal, canal per root, frequency and location of lateral canal and transverse anastomosis. 1. All teedth had one root. 2. Mesial roots with two canals were 25%, and mesial roots with one canal were 75%. All distal roots had one canal. 3. In the roots with two canals, the common apical foramen appeared in 20% and the separte apical foramen appeared in 80%. 4. The frequence of lateral canal was 33.3% and the most frequent region was middle 1/3. 5. All teeth had the transverse anastomosis in all region of the roots.

From February 1986 through September 1986, the authors have experienced 6 cases of coronary artery bypass graft for patients with unstable angina. There were five males and one female who ranged from 39 to 65 years [mean, 53.3 years]. The extent of coronary disease was as follows: one-, two- and three-vessel diseases, all 2 cases respectively, and among them, 1 case had left main disease. Distal anastomoses were performed first with using saphenous vein grafts as conduits in all cases and sequential bypass methods were employed in 5 cases. Numbers of vein grafts were two in 2 cases and one in 4 cases. The mean time wasted for one distal anastomosis was 36 minutes. Post operative complications were leg-wound disruption [2 cases], transient psychosis [1 case] and perioperative myocardial infarction [MI] [1 case]. Sixty three year-old male patient associated with cardiomegaly, prior MI, ventricular arrhythmia, cardiac dysfunction and endocrinologic diseases preoperatively was expired in the operating room due to perioperative Ml. All survivors were asymptomatic and on discontinuing medical therapy on follow-up varying from 1 to 8 months.

In this paper we propose multiclassification method for large data sets by ensembling least squares support vector machines (LS-SVM) with principal components instead of raw input vector. We use the revised one-vs-all method for multiclassification, which is one of voting scheme based on combining several binary classifications. The revised one-vs-all method is performed by using the hat matrix of LS-SVM ensemble, which is obtained by ensembling LS-SVMs trained using each random sample from the whole large training data. The leave-one-out cross validation (CV) function is used for the optimal values of hyper-parameters which affect the performance of multiclass LS-SVM ensemble. We present the generalized cross validation function to reduce computational burden of leave-one-out CV functions. Experimental results from real data sets are then obtained to illustrate the performance of the proposed multiclass LS-SVM ensemble.
