In this paper, a good quality mesh generation for the finite element method is investigated for artificial hip joint simulations. In general, bad meshes with a large aspect ratio or mixed elements can give rise to excessively long computational running times and extremely high errors. Typically, hexahedral elements outperform tetrahedral elements during three-dimensional contact analysis using the finite element method. Therefore, it is essential to mesh biologic structures with hexahedral elements. Four meshing schemes for the finite element analysis of an artificial hip joint are presented and compared: (1) tetrahedral elements, (2) wedge and hexahedral elements, (3) open cubic box hexahedral elements, and (4) proposed hexahedral elements. The proposed meshing scheme is to partition a part before seeding so that we have a high quality three-dimensional mesh which consists of only hexahedral elements. The von Mises stress distributions were obtained and analyzed. We also performed mesh refinement convergence tests for all four cases.

Euclid's Elements has been considered as the stereotype of logical and deductive approach to mathematics in the history of mathematics. Nonetheless, it has been criticized by its dryness and difficulties for learning. It is worthwhile to noticing mathematicians' struggle for providing some alternatives to Euclid's Elements. One of these alternatives was written by a French scientist, Pardies who called it 'Elemens de Geometrie ou par une methode courte & aisee l'on peut apprendre ce qu'il faut scavoir d'Euclide, d'Archimede, d'Apllonius & les plus belles inventions des anciens & des nouveaux Geometres.' A precedent research presented its historical meaning in traditional mathematics of China and Joseon as well as its didactical meaning in mathematics education with the overview of this book. However, it has a limitation that there isn't elaborate comparison between Euclid's and Pardies'in the aspects of contents as well as the approaching method. This evokes the curiosity enough to encourage this research. So, this research aims to compare Pardies' Elements and Euclid's Elements. Which propositions Pardies selected from Euclid's Elements? How were they restructured in Pardies' Elements? Responding these questions, the researcher confirmed his easy method of learning geometry intended by Pardies.

The notions of closed elements and dense elements are introduced in BE-algebras. Characterization theorems of closed elements and closed filters are obtained. The notion of dense elements is introduced in BE-algebras. Dense BE-algebras are characterized with the help of maximal filters and congruences. The concept of D-filters is introduced in BE-algebras. A set of equivalent conditions is derived for every D-filter to become a closed filter.

The vector wave equation is widely used in electromagnetic wave analysis. This paper solves the vector wave equation using curl-conforming finite elements. The variational problem is established from Riesz functional based on vector wave equation and the unique existence of weak solution is explored. The edge elements are used in computation and the simulation results are compared with those obtained from a commercial simulator, ANSYS HFSS (high-frequency structure simulator).

Euclid's elements have been recognized as a significant textbook in mathematics and mathematics education because of importance of its contents and methodology. This study discussed how the elements is connected with understanding of math textbooks in elementary school, trying to reveal the value for teacher training. First, when details in elementary textbooks were considered in aspect of elements, the importance of elements was illustrated with the purpose of understanding contents of elementary school by examining educational implications. In addition, the study discussed the value of the elements as the place for teachers and would-be teachers to experience math system.

The purpose of this study was to analysis how the elements of character are reflected in the 3rd and 4th grade elementary mathematics textbooks based on the 2009 revised curriculum. This study focused on the elements of character in the 3rd and 4th grade mathematics textbooks. The researchers analyzed the elements of character in the students' mathematics textbooks and teacher's guide books. In particular, they analyzed how those elements of character are reflected in those books. Findings of this study are as follows. First of all, the elements of character were founded in the most of units on the 3rd and 4th grade mathematics textbooks, but they were biased to the specific elements of character. Second, the resources using related with character vary in the textbooks. As methods of character education, connections of elements of character with mathematical concepts, broader view of the world, or problem solving are appeared. From the results of the research, we suggest the followings. We need to set the teacher's roles in character education. Mathematics textbooks should include various elements of character for effective character education. In addition to development of quality materials for character education in mathematics education, teacher education programs should include character education in mathematics education.

Let X be a nonempty set, ${\rho}$ be an equivalence on X, T(X) be the semigroup of all transformations from X into itself, and $T_{\rho}(X)=\{f{\in}T(X)|(x,y){\in}{\rho}{\text{ implies }}((x)f,\;(y)f){\in}{\rho}\}$. In this paper, we investigate some necessary and sufficient conditions for elements in $T_{\rho}(X)$ to be left or right magnifying.

We define morphic near-ring elements and study their behavior in regular near-rings. We show that the class of left morphic regular near-rings is properly contained between the classes of left strongly regular and unit-regular near-rings.

In this paper we determine all elements in the root lattice of symmetrizable generalized Kac-Moody algebras whose reflections preserve the root systems. Also we discuss elements in the root lattices whose reflection preserve the root lattices.
