Purpose: A laterally positioned flap (LPF) combined with a subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) is one of the conventional approaches for resolving gingival recession defects, with the advantages of flap flexibility and extended coverage of the tissue graft. However, thus far, evidence is lacking for the use of this technique for the treatment of advanced gingival recession defects. This report discusses three Miller class III cases with interproximal bone loss and wide and deep defects treated with a combination procedure of a modified laterally positioned flap (mLPF) and SCTG. Methods: mLPF combined with SCTG was performed for each case. The defect size and the degree of hypersensitivity at baseline and the final appointment in each case were documented. Results: The three cases had a mean initial defect of $7.7{\pm}1.5mm$ and a mean residual defect of $1.7{\pm}1mm$ at the 6-, 3-, and 36-month follow-up, respectively, after the root coverage surgery. The symptom of hypersensitivity was improved, and the patients were satisfied with the clinical outcomes. Conclusions: The results demonstrated that the combination of mLPF with SCTG is promising for treating these advanced cases with respect to obtaining the expected root coverage with the gingival tissue.

When superplasticizer is added to manufacture flowing concrete, the base concrete usually needs the adjustment to assure the sufficient fines contained to obtain flowable consistency without excessive bleeding or segregation. However, this may not only increase the cost, but also cause inconvenience in producing the base concrete. In this paper, the experiments are performed on normal base concrete to achieve a segregation-reducing flowing concrete by adding superplasticizer mixed with viscosity agents and AE admixtures. Three kinds of superplasticizer and two kinds of viscosity agent are selected. According to the results, with regard to the performance and cost of the admixtures, melamine type superplasticizer combined with the PEO viscosity agent and AE admixtures at the ratio 1:0.28:0.001 can acquire good quality and reduce the cost in producing the flowing concrete. With proper addition of combined superplasticizer, even though water to cement ratios of the base concrete are different, the segregation-reducing flowing concrete could be also achieved without reproportioning of the base concrete. However, it would be more desirable if the superplasticizer could be adjusted, before it is put into the practical use in order not to cause some other problems, such as rapid rate of slump loss and retarding of setting time.

Recently, utility network is becoming more and more complicated and huge due to IT and OA devices. In addition to, demands of power conversion devices which have non-linear switching devices are getting more and more increased. Consequently, because of the non-linear power semiconductor devices, current harmonics are unavoidable. Sometimes those current harmonics flow back to utility network and become one of the main reasons which can make the voltage distortion. Also, it makes noise and heat loss. On the other hands, voltage sag from sudden increasing loads is also one of the terrible problems inside of utility network. In order to compensate the current harmonics and voltage sag problem, AF(active filter) systems could be a good solution method. SMES is a very good promising source due to it's high response time of charge and discharge. Therefore, the combined AF and SMES system can be a wonderful device to compensate both harmonics current and voltage sag. However, SMES needs a superconducting magnetic coil. Because of using this superconducting magnetic coil, quench problem caused by unexpected reasons have always been unavoidable. Therefore, to solve out mentioned above, this paper presents a decisive method using shunt and series active filter system combined with SMES. Especially, authors analyzed the change of original energy capacity of SMES regarding to the size of resistance caused by quench of superconducting magnetic coil.

This study evaluated the effects of ZD1839, an orally active, selective epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor, on nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) both in vitro and in vivo. Influence of ZD1839 alone or combined with cisplatin on the NPC cell line CNE2 was detected by MTT assay with flow cytometry assessment of cell cycle distribution and apoptosis rates. Nude mice NPC xenografts were also used to evaluate the effects of ZD1839 alone or combined with cisplatin. The Student's t test evaluated statistical significance. ZD1839 alone or combined with cisplatin inhibited CNE2 cell line proliferation. ZD1839 induced CNE2 cell cycle arrest in the G1 phase, and higher concentrations induced apoptosis. Xenograft tumors were significantly smaller when treated with 200 mg/kg ZD1839, cisplatin, or cisplatin combined with 100 mg/kg ZD1839 than untreated controls. ZD1839 (200 mg/kg) alone showed good tumor inhibition effects, reduction of tumor weights, and smaller tumor volume without loss of body weight. ZD1839 (200 mg/kg) might provide a good and effective therapeutic reagent for NPC.

Advances in microvascular techniques and refinements in microsurgical tissue transfers have enabled surgeons to combine different tissue components and reconstruction into a single-stage operation in extensive or composite defect following injury. Some problems and consideration for extensive or composite defects are form, shape, function, and dimension of the defect sites. Therefore combination of two or more flaps is required to reconstruct extensive or composite defect. This paper presents our clinical experience of four cases of combined free flaps with or without sequential microanastomosis in reconstruction of upper extremity based on peroneal flowthrough, thoracodorsal, and dorsalis pedis vascular system. Satisfactory results were obtained without flap loss and complications. The free flaps were combined in th following fashion; two cases by bridge fashion, one by chimeric microanastomosis and one by simple chimeric fashion. The median follow-up time on all patients was 21.7 months. Donor site morbidity was minimal. Extensive soft tissue or composite defects can be effectively covered by various combined flaps. Even though the risk for complication exists, the options of combination with or without sequential microanastomosis can add a functional or sensory dimension to reconstruction of complex wounds.

본 연구에서는 다양한 드론 영상 데이터셋을 효과적으로 학습하여 의미론적 분할의 정확도를 향상시키기 위한 combined segmentation network (CSN)를 제안하고 검증하였다. CSN은 세 가지 드론 데이터셋의 다양성을 고려하기 위하여 인코딩 영역의 전체를 공유하며, 디코딩 영역은 독립적으로 학습된다. CSN의 경우, 학습 시 모든 데이터셋에 대한 손실값을 고려하기 때문에 U-Net 및 pyramid scene parsing network (PSPNet)으로 단일 데이터셋을 학습할 때보다 학습 효율이 떨어졌다. 그러나 국내 자율주행 드론 영상에 CSN을 적용한 결과, CSN이 PSPNet에 비해 초기 학습 없이도 영상 내 화소를 적절한 클래스로 분류할 수 있는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 CSN이 다양한 드론 영상 데이터셋을 효과적으로 학습하고 새로운 지역에 대한 객체 인식 정확성을 향상시키는 데 중요한 도구로써 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대할 수 있다.

Combined technique of burner and DOC has been used for regeneration of Diesel Particulate Filter. Experiments has been performed to increase the temperature of engine exhaust gas to burn the collected soot in DPF at all conditions of operation of 3 liter diesel engine. Ignition temperature of soot can be successfully obtained by heats of burner flame and residual fuel oxidation at diesel oxidation catalyst even in the condition of oxygen deficiency. It is found that the load of air compressor and heat loss can be reduced to the level of practical application. It is also found that CO and THC emissions are not increase by additional combustion of regeneration burner.

The simplified impedance model which can consider a combined flow condition was suggested. Although the strength and position of the shear layer cannot be obtained by a linear sum of two separate contributions when both flows occur together, it was simply assumed that the impedance under the combined flow follows from summing the separate flow impedance. To validate the simplified impedance model, acoustic properties of a concentric resonator was predicted and measured. The predicted transmission loss using the simplified model shows reasonable agreements with measurements. One can find that the simplified impedance model obtained by the superposition of the separate flow impedances can be adjusted to predict the acoustic properties of a concentric resonator.

본 논문에서는 복합화력 발전시스템을 대상으로 한 온라인 성능감시시스템에 적용될 수 있는 열소비율 손실 분담기법을 고안하였다. 이 기법은 현재 운전조건에 대한 기대 열소비율을 계산하여 이를 실제 열소비율과 비교하고 이들의 편차, 즉 손실분을 발전시스템 구성기기(가스터빈 배열회수보일러, 증기터빈, 복수기)로 분담시킴으로써 손실이 어디에서 얼마만큼 발생하는 지를 정량적으로 감지하여 조치할 수 있는 성능관리지표로서 활용된다.
