  • Neurilemmoma is a benign, well-encapsulated neurogenic tumor that arises in cranial, peripheral, or autonomic nerves that have nerve sheaths containing schwann cells. From 16 to 45% of all neurilemmoma cases occur in the head and neck region and only about 4% of those cases are found in the nose and paranasal sinuses, but very rarely found in the nasal septum. Recently, we experienced a case of isolated neurilemmoma which arose from the nasal septum of a 30-year-old female patient who complained of nasal obstruction and postnasal drip. The mass was broadly based on the right anterior portion of the nasal septum and confined to the nasal cavity, displacing the lateral wall of the nasal cavity and middle turbinate, laterally and posteriorly, respectively. The tumor mass was completely excised through transnasal endoscopic surgery under general anesthesia. The final pathological diagnosis viewed under a microscope after H&E and anti S-100 protein stain was a benign neurilemmoma in which Antoni A type and B type both existed. This report presents a case of neurilemmoma which arose from the nasal septum with reviews of the clinicopathologic features.

  • The paper evaluates the aerodynamic coefficients on a blunt-nose re-entry capsule with a conical cross-section followed by a cone-flare body. A computer code is developed to solve three-dimensional compressible inviscid equationsfor flow over a Space Recovery Experiment (SRE) configuration at different flare-cone half-angle at Mach 6 and angle of attack up to 5°, at 1° interval. The surface pressure variation is numerically integrated to obtain the aerodynamic forces and pitching moment. The numerical analysis reveals the influence of flare-cone geometry on the flow characteristics and aerodynamic coefficients. The numerical results agree with wind tunnel results. Increase of cone-flare angle from 25° to 35° results in increase of normal force slope, axial forebody drag, base drag and location of centre of pressure by 62.5%, 56.2% and 33.13%, respectively, from the basic configuration ofthe SRE of 25°.

  • There is no authentic solution in a face detection problem though it is an important part of pattern recognition and has many diverse application fields. The reason is that there are many unpredictable deformations due to facial expressions, view point, rotation, scale, gender, age, etc. To overcome these problems, we propose an algorithm based on feature-based method, which is well known to be robust to these deformations. We detect a face by calculating a similarity between the formation of real face feature and candidate feature formation which consists of eyebrow, eye, nose, and mouth. In this paper, we use a steerable filter instead of general derivative edge detector in order to get more accurate feature components. We applied deformable template to verify the detected face, which overcome the weak point of feature-based method. Considering the low detection rate because of face detection method using whole input images, we design an adaptive skin-color filter which can be applicable to a diverse skin color, minimizing target area and processing time.

  • In order to extract the essential oil contained in the Elsholtzia splendense Nakai, a fully-bloomed individual was collected and the living body was used for the experiment. Plants were divided into 0.7kg of flowers and 1.5kg of leaves + stems, and extracted by parts and used for scent pattern analysis, and extracted after adding 5kg of outpost for the analysis of essential oil components. Essential oil extraction was performed using the SDE method improved by Schultz et al. (1977), and the extraction time was limited to 1 hour after the material started boiling. The extracted essential oil component was analyzed for fragrance pattern analysis using an e-nose, and the results of analyzing the substance of the essential oil component by GC-MS are as follows. 1. As for the fragrance pattern analysis, in the case of essential oils extracted from flowers, the scent quality was the best at 10-20 minutes, and the scents extracted from stems and leaves were somewhat of poor scent quality, but the fragrance was good at 10-40 minutes. The intensity of scent was the strongest in 10-20 minutes, and the intensity of incense was high even in 30-40 minutes. The scent extracted from the stems and leaves was generally not strong, but appeared high in 10 to 20 minutes. 2. There were 40 kinds of essential oils contained in Elsholtzia splendense Nakai oil. Among them, Mequinol, Benzene, 1,2,3,4-tetramethyl, Elsholtziaketone, and Dehydroelsholtziaketone were identified.

  • Objectives: This study was designed to evaluate the changes in the particle filtration efficiencies of five cloth masks (4 plate types, 1 cup type) with an increasing number of machine washings and the degree of cloth expansion. Methods: NaCl aerosols were generated using an atomizer and passed through cloth masks in a dynamic aerosol chamber. Particle concentrations were measured both before and after for the cloth masks using an optical particle counter (OPC) in the size range of $0.3{\sim}10{\mu}m$. Results: In the original condition, the filtration efficiencies of the five cloth masks were A: 20.1%, B:30.9%, C: 25.0%, D: 26.5%, and E: 40.9%. As the number of washings increased in the order of one, two, and four times, the filtration efficiencies of cloth mask C increased. The filtration efficiency of A, D, and E increased after the first washing. With the exception of B, the filtration efficiency of cloth masks increased after the second washing and those of all cloth masks increased after the fourth washing. This might be caused by the fibers untangling from the yarn and being freed at one end. In this status, the packing density of the textile will not change, but the distances between fibers will increase, which might bring about an increase in filtration efficiency. When the cloth masks were extended by 10% and 20% in one direction, the filtration efficiencies of cloth masks B, D, and E decreased at 10% extension, and those of all cloth masks decreased at 20% extension. When the cloth masks were expanded by 10% and 20% in two directions, the filtration efficiencies of all cloth masks decreased by at least 34.7% at 10% extension, and by at least 60.9% at 20% extension Conclusions: The filtration efficiency of cloth masks could decrease after one to two machine washings, but will increase after four washings in comparison with their original performances. The filtration efficiency of cloth masks will decrease when they are expanded, such as when stretching over the nose during wearing status.

  • Five different chopped frozen garlic products samples, three from Chinese and two from Korean origins being commercially available products in Korean market, were used to confirm their pre-pasteurization or pre-irradiation status by screening (direct epifluorescent filter technique/aerobic plate counts, DEFT/APC; electronic nose, E-nose; photostimulated luminescence, PSL) and identification (thermoluminescence, TL; electron spin resonance, ESR) techniques. Some parts of samples were gamma-irradiated at 1 kGy to be used as control samples in irradiation history identification. DEFT/APC and e-nose successfully showed distinct results between the domestic and imported samples. The PSL photon counts of all the unknown samples were less than 700 (negative), while most of 1 kGy-irradiated samples gave PSL photon counts more than 5,000 (positive). The domestic unknown samples produced the TL glow peaks after $300^{\circ}C$ or more, whereas the imported samples showed TL peaks at the range of $240{\sim}250^{\circ}C$. A clear TL glow peak was obtained from all irradiated samples at $150{\sim}250^{\circ}C$. The unknown samples of Chinese origin gave radiation-specific cellulose ESR signal that was not shown by domestic samples. A multiple step of applying the physical analytical methods is recommended for the effective identification of irradiation status on chopped frozen garlic products.

  • Soft tissue profile is a critical area of interest in the development of an orthodontic treatment and diagnosis. The purpose of this study was to determine the facial profile preference of diversified group and to investigate the relationship between most Preferred facial Profile and existing soft tissue reference lines. A survey instrument of constructed facial silhouettes was evaluated by 894 lay person. The silhouettes had varied nose, lips, chin and soft tissue subnasale point. Seven sets of facial type were computer-generated by an orthodontist to represent distinct facial types. The varied facial profiles were graded on the basis of most preferred to least preferred. Every facial profile were measured by soft tissue reference lines(Ricketts E-line, Burstone B-line) to observe the most preferred facial profile. The results as follows: 1. In reliability test, the childhood group showed lower value than other groups, which means that this group has no concern on facial profile preference. 2. It appears that sexual and age difference made no significant difference in selecting the profile 3. An agreement to least preferred facial profile was higher than an agreement to most preferred facial profile. 4. Coefficient of concordance (Kendall W) was higher in the twentieth group. It means that a profile preference of the twentieth is distinct. 5. A lip protrusion (to Ricketts E-line and Burstone B-line) of most preferred facial profile was similar to measurements of previous study that investigate skeletal and soft tissue of esthetic facial profile of young Korean. So these reference lines can be used valuably in clinics. 6. Profile of excessive lip protrusion or retrusion to E-line & B-line was least preferred. 7. Most preferred profile of all respondents group was straight profile. Profile that showing convex profile was not pre(erred and the least preferred profile was concave profile.

  • Flow around a guided missile in high maneuver, i.e. at a high angle of attack, shows complex phenomena. It is well known that even in geometrically symmetric conditions the flow around a missile at high angles of attack can generate unexpected large side forces and yaw moments due to asymmetric vortices. In this paper, a CFD code (FLUENT) based on the Navier-Stokes equations was used for the numerical analysis to find a suitable numerical mechanism for generation of asymmetric vortices. It is shown that a numerical technique of applying different surface roughness to a specific area of the missile nose surface gives the best fit in comparison with the experimental results. In addition, a numerical investigation of variations of side forces and pressure distributions with angle of attack and roll angle was conducted for the purpose of identifying the source of vortex asymmetries.
