본 논문은 얼굴의 아이겐공간에서 벡터 양자화 기법을 이용한 얼굴 인식을 제안한다. 아이겐페이스 방법의 문제점은 하나의 아이겐페이스로 얼굴의 다양한 변이를 표현하기에 부족하다는데 있다. 이러한 약점을 극복하기위해 제안된 방법은 아이겐페이스 공간에서 얼굴의 변이를 벡터 양자화 기법으로 군집화한다. 벡터 양자기는 학습과정을 통해 각 사람의 아이겐 페이스 집합을 양자화된 대표점들로 표현한다. 그리고 인식 과정을 통해 벡터 양자기는 얼굴 데이터 베이스에 저장된 대표점들과 입력된 얼굴 특징벡터와의 양자화 오차를 최소로 하는 대표점을 찾는다. 실험은 Faces94 데이터베이스에서 600장의 얼굴을 가지고 수행하였다. 실험 결과 기존의 아이겐페이스 방법은 최소 64개의 오인식을 하였고 제안된 방법은 코드북의 크기를 4개로 하였을 때 최소 20개의 오인식을 보였다. 결론적으로 제안된 방법은 얼굴의 변이를 수용하여 인식률을 향상시키는 효과적인 방법으로 사료된다.

Oral cancer ablation surgery results in tissue defects with functional loss. Accompanying neck dissection results in facial nerve weakness and dysmorphic changes. To minimize the complications after oral cancer surgery, accurate dissection without damaging facial nerve and vital structures are mandatory. Marginal mandibular branch of facial nerve should be dissected or contained in the superficial layer of deep cervical fascia to minimized facial palsy after operation. Reconstruction after cancer ablations is routine procedures and free flap reconstruction is the most commonly used. Radial forearm free flap is the most versatile flap to reconstruct soft tissue defects and it is easy to design according to the defect size and shape. However, donor site scar and secondary skin graft from thigh result in unesthetic and cumbersome wounds. Double layered collagen graft in the donor site could reduce secondary donor site for skin graft. In conclusion, oral and maxillofacial surgeon should know the exact anatomy of the face and neck during neck dissection. Radial forearm free flap is most versatile flap for soft tissue reconstruction and double collagen graft can reduce postoperative scar and there is no need for secondary skin graft.

Purpose: Most enterprises adopt six sigma acts to maximize the business performance with raising the executiveness for the project improvements in each parts. But there are little studies about six sigma actual operations in manufacturing whether the six sigma improvements that have injected a lot of budget, efforts, labours and time are run properly. Methods: This study select 31 interviewees who have MBB or BB from 5 large enterprises running six sigma over 10 years and 5 SMEs running six sigma over 5 years to understand and review the operational status of six sigma actions in manufacturing industry and to secure representativeness. This study identify the operational status of six sigma actions and key factors enhancing or impeding execution of six sigma projects through face-to-face interviews and online surveys by e-mail. Results: This study figured out the operational status of six sigma actions and key factors enhancing or impeding execution of six sigma projects. We used SPSS 16.0 for the reliability and the validity of survey data. Conclusion: There can be a lot of different factors that affect six sigma project improvements besides the key factors from this study. More study need to think of the organization characteristics and the basic conditions and to remedy the unreasonable points and defects rather than following foreign companies and enterprises.

Skin replacement in large cheek defects after excision of benign or malignant tumor on the face is a challenging task. The physical characteristics of cheek skin are matched best by adjacent skin. Various methods of reconstructing of the facial surface such as forehead flap, distant flap, or a full thickness or split thickness skin graft have replaced adjacent tissue for coverage in many cases. We have reviewed ten cases of aesthetic reconstruction of the face after resection of the facial skin tumor within the last 5 years. The first group of 3 patients were reconstructed with split thickness skin graft from the scalp or lower abdomen. The second group of patients were reconstructed with cheek flap. The third group of 3 patients were reconstructed with cervicofacial flap. The last 2 patients were reconstructed with nasolabial flap & island falp respectively. The advantages from our experience with various method of coverage are its hidden donor area & good color match with the facial skin & increased success rate.

SHORT syndrome is an extremely rare congenital condition due to a chromosomal mutation of the PIK3R1 gene found at 5q13.1. SHORT is a mnemonic representing six manifestations of the syndrome: (S) short stature, (H) hyperextensibility of joints and/or inguinal hernia, (O) ocular depression, (R) Rieger anomaly, and (T) teething delay. Other key aspects of this syndrome not found in the mnemonic include lipodystrophy, triangular face with dimpled chin (progeroid facies, commonly referred to as facial gestalt), hearing loss, vision loss, insulin resistance, and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). 3q duplication syndrome is rare syndrome that occurs due to a gain of function mutation found at 3q25.31-33 that presents with a wide array of manifestations including internal organ defects, genitourinary malformations, hand and foot deformities, and mental disability. We present a case of a 2 year and 3 month old male with SHORT syndrome and concurrent 3q duplication syndrome. The patient presented at birth with many of the common manifestations of SHORT syndrome such as bossing of frontal bone of skull, triangular shaped face, lipodystrophy, micrognathia, sunken eyes, and thin, wrinkled skin (progeroid appearance). Additionally, he presented with findings associated with 3q duplication syndrome such as cleft palate and cryptorchidism. Although there is no specific treatment for these conditions, pediatricians should focus on referring patients to various specialists in order to treat each individual manifestation.

Background Human bite wounds in emergency department need evaluation in regard of reconstruction. These are due to occlusive bite injuries over face. Most commonly, human bites over face involve ear and nose, and may lead to avulsion injury. Defects over nose can be reconstructed immediately after debridement or delayed till the wound heals and scar becomes supple. Thorough wash and lavage with broadspectrum antibiotic cover has utmost importance in preventing cartilage infection. Methods We report 20 cases of human bite injuries over nose who presented to us in emergency department between 2018 and 2020. At the time of presentation the wound was assessed for closure. If not possible, patient was planned for delayed reconstruction after 3 months. In case delayed reconstruction was planned, the skin and nasal mucosa were approximated at first presentation. The patients underwent paramedian forehead flap after recreation of defect with conchal cartilage graft. Second stage of flap detachment and insetting was done after 3 weeks. After three weeks of second stage, third stage of flap thinning was done. Patients were followed for 3-6 months and subjective satisfaction was noted. Results Nineteen patients underwent delayed staged reconstruction with paramedian forehead flap and one underwent primary wound closure. The flap survival was 100%. The patient satisfaction was excellent in most cases. Conclusion We recommend delayed reconstruction for human bite nasal injuries. For reconstruction, paramedian forehead flap with conchal cartilage graft, if required, provides excellent reconstructive option with good contour and color match and minimal donor site scar.

Purpose: Maxillectomy for malignant tumor resection often leads to functional and aesthetic sequalae. Reconstruction following maxillectomy has been a challenging problem in the field of head and neck cancer surgery. In this article, we described three dimensional midface reconstructions using free flaps and their functional and aesthetic outcomes. Methods: We reconstructed 35 cases of maxillectomy defects using 9 radial forearm free flaps, 7 lattisimus dorsi musculocutaneous free flaps, 6 rectus abdominis musculocutaneous free flaps, 4 fibular osteocutaneous free flaps, and 9 anterolateral thigh free flaps, respectively. We classified post-maxillectomy defects by Brown's classification. 1 Articulation clarity was measured with picture consonant articulation test. Swallowing function was evaluated with the University of Washington quality-of-life Head and Neck questionnaire by 4 steps.2 Aesthetic outcomes were checked to compare preoperative with postoperative full face photographs by 5 medical doctors who did not involve in our operation. Results: The average articulation clarity was 92.4% (100-41.9%). 27 (81.9%) patients were able to eat an unrestricted diet. Aesthetic results were considered excellent in 18 patients (51.4%). Functional results were best in the group reconstructed with fibular osteocutaneous free flap. Considering the range of wide excision, aesthetic results is best in the group reconstructed with anterolateral thigh free flap. Conclusion: The free flap is a useful technique for the reconstruction of the midface leading to good results, both functionally and aesthetically. Especially, because osteocutaneous flap such as fibular osteocutaneous free flap offered bone source for osteointegrated implant, It produces the best functional results. And perforator flap like as anterolateral thigh free flap reliably provides the best aesthetic results, because it provides sufficient volume and has no postoperative volume diminution.

방사광 가속기에서 얻은 x-선을 이용하여 초고진공에서 열처리를 통하여 얻어진 $TiO_2$ (001) 단결정 표면의 원자가 전자대에 대한 광전자 분광연구를 수행하였다. 이 연구를 통하여 특히 페르미 준위 0.9 eV 근처에 있는 결함에 기인한 전자 상태의 변화로 부터 $Ti^{3+}$ 결함의 산화 또는 열확산 과정에 대한 반응 속도론적 특성을 연구하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 (001)면에서의 $Ti^{3+}$ 결함의 열역학적 특성이 $TiO_2$ (110) 단결정면에서의 그것과 어떻게 다른지를 규명하는데 큰 의미가 있다. 연구 결과, (001)과 (110) 결정면에서의 $Ti^{3+}$ 결함의 거동은 산화 반응성과 결정 내에서의 열적 확산 특성에서 매우 유사하다는 것을 알게 되었다. 이와 같은 결과를 얻게 된 주된 이유 중의 하나는 관여하는 $Ti^{3+}$ 결함이 주로 표면 근처에 분포되어 있다는데서 찾을 수 있다.
