Although breast implants have been in clinical use for almost 6 decades and have undergone considerable development during this time, implant rupture is still a dreaded long-term complication. Some obvious external factors, such as trauma, can lead to implant rupture, but many studies have reported a high rate of "spontaneous" implant rupture. Herein, we present two cases with the aim of raising awareness of a new possible cause of "spontaneous" implant rupture: mechanical irritation by bony protrusions.

In this paper, we researched the recent analysis method of RCS prediction for the naval ship and compared the new method with conventional one in respect of the effectiveness to improve a naval ship with low RCS. This paper included the process of analyzing RCS characteristics for naval ship using the numerical method and finding the hotspot by hourglass plot, ISAR image and etc.. Also we introduced the various design methods in order to reduce RCS.

Chronic lymphedema is caused by an impairment of the lymphatic system due to primary or secondary causes. Vascularized lymph node transplantation (VLNT) is currently the most promising and frequently used technique besides lymphaticovenous anastomosis. However, the vessel anatomy in the lateral thoracic region is sometimes quite variable. Based on our experiences with vascular anatomical inconstancy in the lateral thoracic region, we planned a lateral intercostal artery perforator flap for VLNT in a female patient with chronic stage II lymphedema of both legs after cervical cancer treatment. After surgery, the patient reported significant improvement in limb volume and the accompanying symptoms. The limb circumference was reduced by an average of 19.2% at 6 months postoperatively. Despite having a short pedicle and small vessel caliber, the lateral intercostal artery perforator flap can safely be used for VLNT in lymphedema patients with anatomical variants.

This paper presents the ASVO (Automation-considered SVO) Logic that can be used for verifying authentication and key distribution protocols. The ASVO logic was designed for automatic verification, in a way to modify the SVO logic, one of the most famous authentication logics. The ASVO logic is syntactically and semantically sound, and requires relatively simple verification steps. Also we implemented the Isabelle/ASVO system which supports semi-automated verification, by using the Isabelle/Isar system.

In this paper, the RCS analysis of the 10m unmanned surface vehicles was performed, and the factors of RCS increase were analyzed. Modeling techniques by transforming a geometric shape can reduce the RCS area, which can be used to develop stealth unmanned surface vehicles. In order to reduce the RCS, the existing Top Mast part was moved 1m to the tail part, the 5 degree tilt angle was moved below 0.5 m, and additional guided walls were installed to minimize the influence on the center and surrounding corner reflecting structures. As a result of comparing and analyzing the RCS analysis value with the existing model, it can be seen that the reduced countermeasure model is -3.79 dB lower than the existing model for all elevations. In particular, it can be seen that the strong scattering phenomenon is substantially removed in the region except the sacrificial angle region. In addition, it can be seen that in the case of -5m to 2m where the guide wall is added, the reflected signal is improved up to 20 to 40 dB or more, so that it does not appear on the 2D ISAR image. RCS analysis of unmanned surface vehicles explained the process of analyzing and identifying problem location through distance profile analysis and ISAR image analysis.

There are many research works on the SAR image generation using EM(Electro Magnetic) simulation. Particularly, there are several dedicated S/Ws for SAR image generation and analysis. But, most of them are not available to the public due to the reason for defense and security. In this paper, we describe the generation of ISAR images for a realistic target model using the general purpose EM simulator like FEKO. This method can benefit us many advantages like building the database of many targets for target recognition with cost-and-time effective way.

NCTR(Non-Cooperative Target Recognition) and ATR(Automatic Target Recognition) are methodologies to identify military targets using radar, optical, and infrared images. Among them, a strategy to recognize ground targets using synthetic aperature radar(SAR) images is called SAR ATR. In general, SAR ATR consists of three sequential stages: detection, discrimination and classification. In this paper, a modification of the polar mapping classifier(PMC) to identify inverse SAR(ISAR) images has been made in order to apply it to SAR ATR. In addition, a preprocessing scheme can mitigate the effect from the clutter, and information on the shadow is employed to improve the classification accuracy.

A summary of the development and verifications of a computer code being developed at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) for calculating the radar cross section(RCS) of complex targets is presented. The complex targets are modeled in terms of patches and wedges. This code utilizes physical optics, physical theory of diffraction and shooting and bouncing rays method to calculate the RCS of complex targets. For the verification of the RCS prediction code, a simple-shaped scale-model was manufactured and the RCS was measured at the POSTECH compact range. The obtained RCS was processed to give frequency-domain RCS patterns and ISAR images. The predicted RCS shows good agreement with measured one. The RCS prediction methods presented here are applicable to stealth design and target recognition.

Frequency bandwidth has been combined to determine adequate frequency bandwidth which is necessary for nondestructive testing when using inverse synthetic aperture radar(ISAR). For imaging inside of concrete specimens using radar, the principles of radar and signal processing are discussed. Experimental data obtained from radar measurement of three different concrete specimens at two different frequency bandwidths of 2∼3.4 GHz, 3.4∼5.8 GHz and these two frequencies are combined to obtain improved imagery. A signal processing scheme has been implemented to visualize inside concrete specimens. The influence of frequency bandwidth was analyzed in nondestructive testing by changing frequency bandwidth for concrete specimen.

This paper presents a semi-automated formal verification method based on the famous SVO logic, and discusses its experimental results. We discuss several problems on automating the SVO logic and design its derivative, ASVO logic for automation. Also the proposed method is implemented by the Isabelle/Isar system. As a result, we verified the well-known weakness of the NSSK protocol that is vulnerable to the Denning-Sacco attack, using our Isabelle/ASVO system. Finally, we refined the protocol by following the logical consequence of the ASVO verification.
