Observations of line of sight (LOS) Doppler velocity and non-thermal line width in the off-limb solar corona are often used for investigating the Alfvén wave signatures in the corona. In this study, we compare LOS Doppler velocities and non-thermal line widths obtained simultaneously from two different instruments, Coronal Multichannel Polarimeter (CoMP) and Hinode/EUV Imaging Spectrometer (EIS), on various off-limb coronal regions: flaring and quiescent active regions, equatorial quiet region, and polar prominence and plume regions observed in 2012-2014. CoMP provides the polarization at the Fe xiii 10747 Å coronal forbidden lines which allows their spectral line intensity, LOS Doppler velocity, and line width to be measured with a low spectral resolution of 1.2 Å in 2-D off limb corona between 1.05 and 1.40 RSun, while Hinode/EIS gives us the EUV spectral information with a high spectral resolution (0.025 Å) in a limited field of view raster scan. In order to compare them, we make pseudo raster scan CoMP maps using information of each EIS scan slit time and position. We compare the CoMP and EIS spectroscopic maps by visual inspection, and examine their pixel to pixel correlations and percentages of pixel numbers satisfying the condition that the differences between CoMP and EIS spectroscopic quantities are within the EIS measurement accuracy: ±3 km s-1 for LOS Doppler velocity and ±9 km s-1 for non-thermal width. The main results are summarized as follows. By comparing CoMP and EIS Doppler velocity distributions, we find that they are consistent with each other overall in the active regions and equatorial quiet region (0.25 ≤ CC ≤ 0.7), while they are partially similar to each other in the overlying loops of prominences and near the bottom of the polar plume (0.02 ≤ CC ≤ 0.18). CoMP Doppler velocities are consistent with the EIS ones within the EIS measurement accuracy in most regions (≥ 87% of pixels) except for the polar region (45% of pixels). We find that CoMP and EIS non-thermal width distributions are similar overall in the active regions (0.06 ≤ CC ≤ 0.61), while they seem to be different in the others (-0.1 ≤ CC ≤ 0.00). CoMP non-thermal widths are similar to EIS ones within the EIS measurement accuracy in a quiescent active region (79% of pixels), while they do not match in the other regions (≤ 61% of pixels); the CoMP observations tend to underestimate the widths by about 20% to 40% compared to the EIS ones. Our results demonstrate that CoMP observations can provide reliable 2-D LOS Doppler velocity distributions on active regions and might provide their non-thermal width distributions.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the hybrid instrumentation method with ProTaper and ProFile on the change of root canal area and distance from the canal to the root surface after canal shaping. The mesial canals of twenty extracted mandibular first molars having $10-20^{\circ}\Delta$ curvature were scanned using X-ray microcomputed tomography (XMCT)-scanner before root canals were instrumented. They were divided into four groups (n=10 canals ter group). In Group 1, root canals were instrumented by the step-back technique with stainless steel K-Flexofile after coronal flaring. The remainders were instrumented by the crown-down technique with, ProTaper system (Group 2), ProFile (Group 3) or ProTaper (Group 4). All canals were prepared up to size 25 at the end-point of preparation and scanned again. Pre- and post-operative cross-sectional images of 1, 3, 5, and 7 mm from the apical foramen were compared. For each level, change of cross-sectional canal are and distance to the nearest external root surface was calculated using Adobe Photoshop 6.0 and image software program. In the change of cross-sectional area, Group 4 was less than Group 2 at 3 mm and 5 mm level (p<0.05). In the difference of the distance from the canal to the root surface after canal shaping, Group 4 was least among the other groups at 7 mm level (p<0.05). According to the results, the methods using ProFile or K file only and the hybrid instrumentation technique using ProTaper and ProFile are more appropriate methods of canal preparation than ProTaper system for narrow of curved canals.

X-ray plasma ejections often occurred around the impulsive phases of solar flares and have been well observed by the SXT aboard Yohkoh. Though the X-ray plasma ejections show various morphological shapes, there has been no attempt at classifying the morphological groups for a large sample of the X-ray plasma ejections. In this study, we have classified 137 X-ray plasma ejections according to their shape for the first time. Our classification criteria are as follows: (1) a loop type shows ejecting plasma with the shape of loops, (2) a spray type has a continuous stream of plasma without showing any typical shape, (3) a jet type shows collimated motions of plasma, (4) a confined ejection shows limited motions of plasma near a flaring site. As a result, we classified the flare-associated X-ray plasma ejections into five groups as follows: loop-type (60 events), spray-type (40 events), jet-type (11 events), confined ejection (18 events), and others (8 events). As an illustration, we presented time sequence images of several typical events to discuss their morphological characteristics, speed, CME association, and magnetic field configuration. We found that the jet-type events tend to have higher speeds and better association with CMEs than those of the loop-type events. It is also found that the CME association (11/11) of the jet-type events is much higher than that (5/18) of the confined ejections. These facts imply that the physical characteristics of the X-ray plasma ejections are closely associated with magnetic field configurations near the reconnection regions.

The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the apical leakage in extracted teeth filled with gutta-percha subsequent to dressing with one of three different calcium hydroxide preparations. Thirty six extracted teeth with single canal were used in this study. After working length determination, canals were prepared with K flexo files to a #40 at the working length. Step-back flaring was produced by using #45, #50 K flexo files and #2, #3, #4 Gates Glidden burs. The teeth were randomly divided into 3 groups of 10 each : the remaining six teeth were used for negative and positive leakage control: Group 1, dressed with pure calcium hydroxide powder (Sigma, USA) mixed with distilled water; Group 2, dressed with Metapaste (Metadent, Korea) ; Group 3, dressed with Vitapex (Neo Dental, Japan). Teeth were sealed with Caviton (GC, Japan) and incubated in 100% humidity, at 37$^{\circ}C$ for 1 wk. All kinds of calcium hydroxide were removed from the canal with a MAF and 5% NaOCl. The canals were filled with AH-26$^{\circledR}$ sealer and gutta-percha using lateral condensation technique, incubated in 100% humidity, at 37$^{\circ}C$ for 2 days for the sealer to be set. The teeth were coated twice with nail varnish except for an area of approximately 2mm surrounding the apical foramen. All specimens were placed in 2% methylene blue solution for 2 days. The root were sectioned longitudinally, the amount of apical leakage was measured to the most coronal part of the root canal to which the dye had penetrated. The independent measurements were made for each root using a stereomicroscope ($\times$40 magnification) and the average was recorded for statistical analysis. The results were as follows ; 1. The mean of apical leakage in group of pure calcium hydroxide ranged 0.102$\pm$0.156mm, in Metapaste$^{\circledR}$ ranged 0.062$\pm$0.069mm, and in Vitapex$^{\circledR}$ ranged 0.067$\pm$0.072mm. 2. Group of pure calcium hydroxide exhibited more leakage than those of 2 manufactured calcium hydroxide preparations, but it was not statistically significant. 3. Group of water-based Metapaste$^{\circledR}$ showed lesser leakage than that of oil-based Vitapex$^{\circledR}$, but it was not statistically significant.

이 연구의 목적은 네 종류 file systems의 중심유지능과 근관성형 전후의 상아질 삭제량을 비교하는 것이다. 10-20도의 만곡을 갖는 발거된 20개의 하악 제1대구치의 근심근관(총 40개의 근관)을 근관성형 전에 X선 미세단층촬영 스캐너를 이용하여 스캔하였다. 제 1군은 근관부를 넓힌 후 stainless steel K-Flexofile을 사용하여 step-back technique으로 근관성형하였고, 나머지 군들은 각 제조사의 추천대로 ProFile system (2군), ProTaper system (3군), K3 system (4군)을 사용하여 crown-down technique으로 근관성형하였다. 모든 근관의 근단부 기구조작은 #25 크기까지 시행하였고 근관성형 후 스캔하였다. 3차원 영상 소프트웨어로 근관성형 전후의 스캔된 이미지들을 재구성하여 근관의 전체적 부피 변화를 측정하였다. 또한, 근단공으로부티 1, 3, 5, 7 mm되는 지점의 근관 횡단면을 비교하여 근관성형 전후의 단면적 변화와 중심변위율을 산출하였다. 그 결과, ProTaper와 K3가 다른 file systems보다 상아질을 더 많이 삭제하는 경향을 보였고 모든 실험군에서 중심 변위율은 근단공으로부터 3 mm 지점에서 가장 낮은 수치를 나타냈으며, 3 mm 지점을 제외하고는 ProTaper가 다른 file systems보다 중심유지능이 떨어지는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다 (P < 0.05).
