The surgical managements for the complicated aortic disease is still one of most challenging fields for the cardiac surgeons. The endovascular stent graft procedure has been tried recently to avoid serious complications caused by traditional graft replacement technique. However, indications for the procedures or management methods for the complications have not been clearly elucidated so far. We report a case of successful management for the newly-onset aneurysmal dilation of the distal aorta after an endovascular stent graft procedure in a patient with acute aortic dissection type IIIB.

Pile load tests using Osterberg cells (O-cell) were conducted on cast-in-place concrete piles founded in oil sand fill and in situ oil sand at an industrial plant site in Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada. Interpreted pile test results show that very high pile shaft resistance (with the Bjerrum-Burland or Beta coefficient of 2.5-4.5) against oil sand could be mobilized at small relative displacements of 2-3% of shaft diameter. Finite element simulations based on linear elastic and elasto-plastic models for oil sand materials were used to analyze the pile load test measurements. Two constitutive models yield comparable top-down load versus pile head displacement curves, but very different behaviour in mobilization of pile shaft and end bearing resistances. The elasto-plastic model produces more consistent matching in both pile shaft and end bearing resistances whereas the linear elastic under- and over-predicts the shaft and end bearing resistances, respectively. The mobilization of high shaft resistance in oil sand under pile load is attributed to the very dense and interlocked structure of oil sand which results in high matrix stiffness, high friction angle, and high shear dilation.

Mesh structure is one of typical interconnection networks, and it is used in the part of VLSI circuit design. Torus and Hyper-Torus are advanced interconnection networks in the part of diameter and fault-tolerance of mesh structure. In this paper, we will analyze embedding between Torus and Hyper-Torus networks. We will show T(4k,2l) can be embedded into QT(m,n) with dilation 5, congestion 4, expansion 1. And QT(m,n) can be embedded into T(4k,2l) with dilation 3, congestion 3, expansion 1.

The matrix-star and the transposition graphs are considered as star graph variants that have various merits in graph theory such as node symmetry, fault tolerance, recursive scalability, etc. This paper describes an one-to-one mapping algorithm from a matrix-star graph to a transposition graph using adjacent properties in graph theory. The result show that a matrix-star graph $MS_{2,n}$ can be embedded in a transposition graph $T_{2n}$ with dilation n or less and average dilation 2 or less.

In this paper, we propose an effective method that automatically detects flaws in air deck by using non-destructive testing. First, Gamma correlation transform, 7 ${\times}$ 7 and 13 ${\times}$ 13 Sobel mask apply to the image of air deck acquired non-destructive testing in order to detect the edge of the image. Second, the edge detection area is smoothed and corrected by mean binarization method. Finally, the region of flaws in air deck is detected by a labeling method after removing the noise by the erosion and the dilation operation. In experimental results, we showed that the proposed detection method is effective in air deck.

Spontaneous dissection of the anterior cerebral artery is an unusual cause of subarachnoid hemorrhage. We present a case of a dissecting aneurysm of the anterior cerebral artery presenting with subarachnoid hemorrhage. A 51-year-old woman presented to our hospital with severe headache. Neurological examination demonstrated neck stiffness, decreased visual acuity of the left eye, and left ankle weakness. Computed tomographic scans showed subarachnoid hemorrhage. The initial cerebral angiogram demonstrated a slightly narrowed caliber and mild poststenotic dilation of the right A1 segment. A second cerebral angiogram 14 days later revealed no change in the focal narrowing of the proximal A1 segment but marked progression of the dilatation of the distal A1 segment. Right pterional craniotomy was performed. A sausage-like dilation of the right A1 segment was found with no definite mural hematoma. This abnormal right A1 segment was wrapped with a Sundt clip. A postoperative computed tomographic scan revealed Infarction of the right head of the caudate nucleus and the anterior limb of the right internal capsule. If a dissecting aneurysm is suspected, serial angiographic studies should be performed because of the possibility of dynamic changes over a short period.

In this paper, we develope and implement a TFT-LCD cell defects detection algorithm using morphology. To detect the bright line or dark line defects and the bright pixel or dark pixel defects of the TFT-LCD cells, we determine the shape of the morphology operators considering the shape characteristics of the TFT-LCD sub pixels. Using dilation, erosion, and the subtraction operators, we extract gray level defects information. Then, we apply the optimal threshold method which shows the best results in terms of several criteria. Finally, we determine the defects using labelling method. From various experiments using TFT-LCD panels, the proposed algorithm shows superior results.

In this paper, we will propose that HCN(n,n) gets Hamiltonian Cycles and analyze embedding among HCN(n,n) and UFN(n,n), and HFN(n,n) and In-hypercube. Further, we will prove that HCN(n,n) can be embedded into HFN(n,n) with dilation 3 and the cost for HFN(n,n) to be embedded into HCN(n,n) will be O(n), and HW(n,n) can be embedded into 2n-hypercube with dilation 3 and the cost for In-hypercube to be embedded into HFN(n,n) will be O(n).

The geographic information system is needed in the image recognition field. This study recommends an efficient method to construct the GIS from the feature extraction of roads through scanning of a normal or hand-made maps. Many algorithms have been presented for such image information recognition. However, such algorithm processes have limitations due to their complexity. To efficiently extract road information from scanning map images. a $3{\times}3$ directional form is applied - structuring element, erosion and dilation, and opening and closing. This method allows for efficient evaluation of the featured road extracts from the map image and from the character sets.
