In order to investigate the effects of cross-sectional shapes on the sound characteristics of polyester fibers, 10 specimens were woven into a twill structure made of round, hollow, triangular, u-shape, cruciform, and composite cross-sectional (▲/▲ ,()/▲, Y/Y) fibers. Their rustling sounds were recorded, and their sound spectra were obtained from FFT analysis. Physical sound parameters (LPT, ΔL, Δf) and Zwicker's psychoacoustic parameters of the loudness(Z), sharpness(Z), roughness(Z), and fluctuation strength(Z) were calculated from the sound spectra. According to noncircular cross-section fibers, the hollow shaped fiber had the highest value of LPT, ΔL, loudness(Z), and fluctuation strength(Z). The triangular shaped fiber had a lower value of LPT, ΔL, loudness(Z), and roughness(Z) than those of the round shaped fiber. Among composite cross-section fibers, C1(▲/▲) and C3 (Y/Y) had higher values of LPT, ΔL, Δf and loudness(Z) but C2(()/▲) had lower values. Also the LPT, ΔL, sharpness(Z), and roughness(Z) values of different denier were similar to each other, but the Δf and loudness(Z) values increased as the denier increased.

The construction of a moment connection for a rectangular hollow section (RHS) column and a H-shaped beam is difficult because the RHS is a closed section. When a inner diaphragm is used for such a connection, in general, it is installed after cutting the HSS columns, which results in increased construction work. This paper suggests a new fabrication method to overcome such problems: An inner diaphragm is welded to inside a C-shaped section first, and then a column is fabricated by welding two C-shaped sections. This fabrication method is superior to a classic method in terms of constructibility. An experimental and a numerical study using Ansys 9.0 were performed in order to compare the strength of connections with respect to the presence of concrete, the corner shape of diaphragm, and the axis of loading. The experimental results including initial stiffness and ultimate loads are reported and the analytical results including load transfer mechanism, degree of stress concentration, and strain distribution are also reported.

Aberrant anatomy of mandibular premolars is very rare in Korean, but aberration can contribute the endodontic failure as it makes difficult to remove the irritants during cleaning and shaping procedure. This case report describes the successful root canal treatment of a rare mandibular first premolar with C-shaped root canal as using a cone-beam computed tomography to understand the internal shape of root canal system and a dental operating microscope to improve the magnification and illumination.

A retrospective in vivo study of endodontically treated mandiblar molars was conducted. The radilographs and clinical records of mandibular molars that had been treated endodontically in the Dental hospital of Yonsei University from 1986 to July 1997 were reviewed and categorized. A total of 1751 cases were studied and following results were obtained. 1. The number of root canals in mandibular first permanent molar in a Korean population revealed three in 53.2 %, four in 23.0 %, two in 18.4 %, C-shaped canal in 5.0 %, and one in 0.4 %. 2. In mandibular second molar, three canals was observed in 53.2 %, four in 22.2 %, two in 14.9%, C-shaped canal in 9.1 %, and one in 0.6%. 3. In the results of the percentage of 4 canals of mandibular first molars at various age, before age 20, 37.7 % was obtained whereas 19.3 % after 30. 4. 7.94 % of mandibular first molars examined were found to have three roots. 5. The mandibular second molar had C-shaped canals in 9.1 %.

Magnesium alloy sheets are usually formed at temperatures between $150^{\circ}C$and $300^{\circ}C$ because of their poor formability at room temperature. In the present study, the formability of AZ31B magnesium alloy sheets was investigated by the analytical and experimental approaches. First, tensile tests and the limit dome height test were carried out at elevated temperatures to get the mechanical properties and forming limit diagram, respectively. And then deep drawing of cross shaped die was tried to get the minimum corner radius and forming limit at specific temperature. Blank shape, punch velocity, minimum corner radius, fillet size, etc, were determined by finite element analysis physical try-outs. Especially, optimum punch and die temperature were suggested through the temperature-deformation analysis using Pam-stamp.

Shell shaped hollow carbon nanoparticles are synthesized in the oxygen-hydrogen diffusion flame with $C_{2}H_{2}$ as precursor when it is irradiated with $CO_{2}$ laser of certain power. Below this power of laser, we couldn't get any other but amorphous soot. This shell shaped hollow carbon nanoparticles shows outer wall of high degree of crystallinity with void space inside of itself. And size distribution of these nanoparticles is measured with TEM image analysis. Also the structural comparison between this carbon nanoparticle and soot is done by Raman and XRD measurement. These results show this carbon nanoparticles are of grapheme structure, which means it has good crystallinity when compared with soot.

The mechanism for lattice-shaped mura defects was proposed by characterizing the electro-optic properties of liquid crystal (LC), which showed different transmission properties between the normal and mura defect areas. An increase in the mura defect rate was observed when the dotted LC in the one drop filling (ODF) was exposed for a longer time. The dotted LC droplet at the edge evaporated more rapidly than that in the center. This resulted in a higher concentration of polar singles at the edge of the dotted LC droplet, leading to a higher ${\Delta}n$ value and higher transmittance. This implies that the reductio of the exposure time of the dotted LC to air plays a critical role in decreasing the occurrence of lattice-shaped mura defects in ODF.

This paper considers a cost model for a U-shaped manufacturing cell formation which incorporates a required number of machines and various material flows together under multi-part multi-cell environment. The model is required to satisfy both the specified operation sequence of each part and the total part demand volume, which are considered to derive material handling cost in U-shaped flow line cells. In the model several cost-incurring factors including set-up for batch change-over, processing time for operations of each part, and machine failures are also considered in association with processing load and capacity of each cell. Moreover, a heuristic for a good machine layout in each cell is newly proposed based on the material handling cost of each alternative sequence layout. These all are put together to present an efficient heuristic for the U-shaped independent-cell formation problem, numerical problems are solved to illustrate the algorithm.

Investigations were made on the effects of wire-shaped conducting particles in compressed gas chamber on breakdown voltage. The objective was to recognize the relationship between the length of wire-shaped conducting particles and a.c breakdown voltage. Also the influence of conducting particles on corona inception voltage and extinction voltage were investigated. The values of breakdown voltage and corona inception, extinction voltages were calculated by wire shaped-conducting particles lengths.

We have studied the phase transition to look for molecular structure by using several different techniques for new banana-shaped liquid crystals shown in Fig. 1. Based on the similarities to recently observed fluro-contaning materials (switching involves layer structure rearrangement, increasing threshold with increasing temperature) for HC sample (where x is H), we assume that the phase C has a triclinic symmetry corresponding to the double tilted $smC_G$ Phase. The observation that the polarization peak appears at lower field ($E_o{\sim}15V/{\mu}m$) than the amplitude of the threshold ($E_{th}$) can be explained assuming a field induced $SmC_G$ - SmCP (or SmAP) transition at $E_{th}$
