Palmar soft tissue defects are best reconstructed using a replacement flap of proper size with adequate soft tissue stability for mechanical resistance as well as with protective sensation. Reconstructive approaches are dictated by injury mechanism, defect size and location, and the status of the wound bed and tendino-skeletal structure. While uninjured portions of the hand can be used as a source for local flaps, the use of free flaps allows for maximal access for selection of the most ideal replacement tissue for the defect to be restored as close to the initial state as possible. Here, we review the garden variety of free flaps used in reconstruction of palmar soft tissue defects.

According to the variation of hydrostatic pressure on the central axis of deformable material, the V-shaped central bursting defect may be created on extrusion or drawing processes. The process factors whichaffect the generation of defects are die semi-angle, reduction ratio of cross-sectional area, friction factor, material properties and so on. The combination of these factors can determine the prossibility of defect creation and the shape of various round holes which have been created inside already. By the rigid plastic finite element method, this paper describes the observations of change in shape of a round hole with process conditions suchas die semi-angle, reduction ratio of cross-sectional area and friction factorat the unsteady state of axi-symmetrical extrusion process when the round hole is alreadyexisted inside the original billet, and also, the effects of process factors are investigated to prevent the possible defects.

This paper describes the characteristics of PD pattern and acoustic signal for the possible four states of particles in GIS. For each case of defect, the PD patterns and acoustic signals were measured and analyzed. As a result, the characteristics of the discharge patterns and ultrasonic signals depending for each defect state could be distinguished. Using the discharge patterns and ultrasonic signal waves, the defects in the GIS and the states of the particles can be distinguished.

Managing large infected midline abdominal defects are clinically challenging and technically demanding. The alloplastic materials, regional flaps, and component separation are usually infeasible because of the size, location, depth, and state of the defects. In these cases, the free flap is the only option with a large well-vascularized tissue that is free to inset regardless of the location. Herein, we report a case of 44-year-old man with a large infected midline abdominal wall defect who was completely treated with a latissimus dorsi myocutaeous free flap followed by negative pressure wound therapy.

The patient in whom corrected transposition of the great vessels is an isolated congenital anomaly has a physiologically normal circulation. A 19 year old male was perforemd with surgical correction for congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries (SLL) associated with ventricular septal defect (type I) and severe pulmonary stenosis. After right sided ventriculotomy, ventricular septal defect was repaired with Dacron patch and to provide adequate relief of severe valvar stenosis of pulmonary artery, valvulotomy was done. On immediate postoperative period, complete heart block and lower cardiac output state were ocurred, but adequate blood pressure could be maintained under using of inotropic agent and temporary pace-maker.

In this paper the patterns of partial discharges(PD) occurred from some defects at the interface of cable joints as the function of the phase of the applied voltage were investigated in order to discern the kind of a defect. The results obtained in this study show that it is possible to distinguish the PD patterns between the void discharges and the treeing or tracking discharges which were occured at the cable joint interface. While the state of defect transfers from a void discharge into a tree or tracking discharge with a aging time, the skewness for both half of the applied voltage cycle is observed to go to the negative value.

Four diamond films were deposited by the microwave plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition method varying CH4 concentration from 2.5 to 10% in the feeding gases. Thermal conductivity was measured on these free standing films by the steady state method from 80 K to 400K. They showed higher thermal conductivity as the film deposited with lower methane concentration. One exception, 7.79% methane concentration deposited film, was observed to be the highest thermal conductivity. Phonon scattering processes were considered to analyze the thermal conductivity with the full Callaway model. The grain size and the concentration of the extended and the point defects were used as the fitting parameters. Microstructure of diamond films was investigated with the scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy.

The electron spin resonance (ESR) detects point defect of the In-Ga-Zn oxide (IGZO) like singly ionized oxygen vacancies and excess oxygen, and get spin density as a parameter of defect state. So, we demonstrated the spin density measurement of the IGZO film with various deposition conditions and it has linear relationship. Moreover, we matched the spin density with the total BTS and the threshold voltage ($V_{th}$) distribution of the IGZO thin film transistors. The total BTS ${\Delta}V_{th}$ and the $V_{th}$ distribution were degraded due to the spin density increases. The spin density is the useful indicator to predict $V_{th}$ instability of IGZO TFTs.

A 2-year-old, spayed female, American shorthair cat presented with acute weight loss, tachypnea, and dyspnea. The cat had grade V holosystolic murmur and systemic hypotension. Echocardiography showed a 9 mm defect in the ventricular septum, left-to-right dominant bi-directional shunt, right ventricular hypertrophy, pulmonary stenosis, pulmonary hypertension, and overriding aorta. The cat was diagnosed with a Tetralogy of Fallot. The cat was treated with furosemide, pimobendan, ramipril, and sildenafil. Treatment reduced pulmonary infiltration, pulmonary vessel enlargement, and main pulmonary artery bulging. However, right-to-left flow increased over time and right ventricular outflow tract velocity was elevated. Currently, the patient has maintained an improved state for 1 year. This case report described a severe inherited feline Tetralogy of Fallot case that was successfully managed for a long time.

Very often has it happened that Korean flag ships were detained due to the defect of the ship itself at the port they are entering into by the system of Port State Control(PSC). It does matter because the high detention ratio of Korean ships causes to increase the survey ratio of Korean ships by PSC countries, which increases overall operating costs of Korean shipping companies. Therefore Korean government should take tougher action on the detention of Korean ships. The study uses 946 inspections to formulate the model of identifying PSC-weak ships by logistic regression analysis.
