Background Little is known concerning hair diameter variation within the safe donor area for hair transplantation surgery. Thicker or thinner hair may be needed, depending on the recipient area, hairline design, and the purpose of surgery. Methods Twenty-seven patients (7 men and 20 women; mean age, 28 years; range, 20-47 years) were included in this study. The midoccipital point was used as the reference point on the horizontal plane at the upper border of the helical rim. The target area width was 15 cm (7.5 cm to the right and left of the reference point) and the height was 8 cm (2 cm above and 6 cm below the reference point). The study area was divided horizontally into 3 5-cm sections (A, B, C) and vertically into 4 2-cm sections (1-4), creating a total of 12 zones. Ten anagen hairs were randomly obtained from each zone and their diameters were measured. Results Hair diameter in the 4 vertical sections varied significantly, gradually decreasing from sections 1 (superior) to 4 (inferior) in all 3 horizontal sections (A, B, and C). Conclusions Our results suggest that sections 1 and 2 of the occipital safe donor area would be useful for obtaining thicker hair, such as in procedures to treat male- and female-pattern hair loss, whereas hair from zones 3 and 4 could be useful for transplantation surgery requiring thinner hair, such as eyebrows, eyelashes, and female hairline correction. Our results may be clinically valuable for planning hair transplant surgery and choosing the optimal donor region.

We report patterns of astronomical seeing at KSA SEMO (Korea Science Academy Space Earth and Man Observatory). Though the data of the seeing measured at the local observatory is essential in identifying the seeing of the observatory, systematic measurement of seeing has not been made in Pusan yet. For this reason, KSA SEMO adopted the Santa Barbara Instrument Group (SBIG) Seeing Monitor to constantly record the seeing. The seeing monitoring was done through an elaborate procedure involving direct CCD images in the focal plane which were subsequently analyzed for the full width at half maximum (FWHM) Gaussian widths. Based on the seeing monitoring for 8 months, we classified five patterns of the seeing at KSA SEMO: 'Sunset/Sunrise Effect', 'Extreme Fluctuation', 'Sudden Increment', 'Daily Variation' and 'Stable Condition'. Seeing was generally good from 1:00 am to 3:00 am than other times, and it was also better in Winter than in Summer.

Undoped GaN epitaxial layer was grown on c-plane sapphire substrate by a two-step growth with metalorganic chemical vapor deposition(MOCVD). We have investigated the effects of the variation of final growth temperature on surface morphology, roughness, crystal quality, optical property, and electrical property In a horizontal MOCVD reactor, the film was grown at 300 Tow low-pressure with a fixed nucleation temperature of $500^{\circ}C$, varing the final growth temperature from $850\~1050^{\circ}C$ . The undoped GaN epilayers were characterized by atomic force microscopy, high-resolution x-ray diffractometer, photoluminescence, and Hall effect measurement.

An iterative scheme for computing the three-dimensional position and the surface orientation of an opaque object from a singel shaded image is proposed. This method demonstrates that calculating the depth(distance) between the camera and the object from one shaded video image is possible. Most previous research works on $'Shape from Shading$' problem, even in the $'Photometric Stereo Method$', invoved the determination of surface orientation only. To measure the depth of an object, depth of the object, and the reflectance properties of the surface. Assuming that the object surface is uniform Lambertian the measured intensity level at a given image pixel*x,y0becomes a function of surface orientation and depth component of the object. Derived Image Irradiance Equation can`t be solved without further informations since three unknown variables(p,q and D) are in one nonlinear equation. As an additional constraints we assume that surface satisfy smoothness conditions. Then equation can be solved relaxatively using standard methods of TEX>$'Calculus of VariationTEX>$'. After checking the sensitivity of the algorithm to the errors ininput parameters, the theoretical results is tested by experiments. Three objects (plane, cylinder, and sphere)are used. Thees initial results are very encouraging since they match the theoretical calculations within 20$\%$ error in simple experiments.> error in simple experiments.

In the present paper, functionally graded (FG) materials are presented to investigate the bending analysis of simply supported plates. It is assumed that the material properties of the plate vary through their length according to the power-law form. The displacement field of the present model is selected based on quasi-3D hyperbolic shear deformation theory. By splitting the deflection into bending, shear and stretching parts, the number of unknowns and equations of motion of the present formulation is reduced and hence makes them simple to use. Governing equations are derived from the principle of virtual displacements. Numerical results for deflections and stresses of powerly graded plates under simply supported boundary conditions are presented. The accuracy of the present formulation is demonstrated by comparing the computed results with those available in the literature. As conclusion, this theory is as accurate as other shear deformation theories and so it becomes more attractive due to smaller number of unknowns. Some numerical results are provided to examine the effects of the material gradation, shear deformation on the static behavior of FG plates with variation of material stiffness through their length.

In this thesis, the characteristics of an inverted-F antenna for the 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz zwirless local area network(WLAN) have been analysed in terms of the variation of design parameters. The antenna can be integrated on WLAN for notebook printed circuit board, and the characteristics in terms of the variation of the gap between feed line and shorting stub, gap between antenna's leg and ground plane, antenna leg's width, substrate's height and dielectric constant are analysed. By using these characterization plot of design parameter, the tuning techniques are proposed to design optimum antenna. The designed antenna has 170MHz, 500MHz frequency bandwidth ,VSWR is 1.6, 1.14 and 3.5dBi gain.

Curved beams are increasingly used in buildings, vehicles, ships, and aircraft, which has resulted in considerable effort towards developing an accurate method for analyzing the dynamic behavior of such structures. The stability behavior of elastic curved beams has been the subject of many investigations. Solutions to the relevant differential equations have traditionally been obtained by the standard finite difference or finite element methods. However, these techniques require a great deal of computer time for a large number of discrete nodes with conditions of complex geometry and loading. One efficient procedure for the solution of partial differential equations is the differential quadrature method (DQM). This method has been applied to many cases to overcome the difficulties of complex algorithms and high storage requirements for complex geometry and loading conditions. Out-of-plane buckling of curved beams with rotatory inertia were analyzed using DQM under uniformly distributed radial loads. Critical loads were calculated for the member with various parameter ratios, boundary conditions, and opening angles. The results were compared with exact results from other methods for available cases. The DQM used only a limited number of grid points and shows very good agreement with the exact results (less than 0.3% error). New results according to diverse variation are also suggested, which show important roles in the buckling behavior of curved beams and can be used for comparisons with other numerical solutions or experimental test data.

Magnitude/phase controlling circuit which is composed of attenuator and phase shifter make phase/gain cross-coupling, so too much tuning time is needed to find optimum operation point. In this paper, vector attenuator which control magnitude and phase of input signals is proposed. Vector attenuator in past ignores phase variation characteristics of attenuator, but vector attenuator of this paper compensates phase variation characteristics of attenuator. This vector attenuator consists of 0$^{\circ}$/180$^{\circ}$ phase shifter and low phase shifting attenuator and so forth. A 0$^{\circ}$/180$^{\circ}$ phase shifter has 0$^{\circ}$/179.9$^{\circ}$ phase shifting characteristics at a center frequency 881 MHz and a low phase shifting attenuator has an attenuation of 25dB, within the limit of 3.6$^{\circ}$ phase shift and less than -20dB reflection characteristics at both input and output ports. The designed vector attenuator shows that cartesian coordinate plane of output signal space can be represented correctly.

The experiment was conducted to examine the varietal variation in gelatinization of rice flour and adaptability to rice bread processing, and the interrelation among the relevant properties. IR 44 showed the lowest temperature of gelatinization onset(T$_{o}$ ) and the highest gelatinization enthalphy(ㅿH) measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The following lower T$_{o}$ was found with the order of Suweon 230＜Pusa-33-30＜T(N) 1, Daeribbyeo 1 and the next higher ㅿ.H was followed by the order of Pusa-33-30＞Suweon 230. IRAT 177 revealed the highest temperature of gelatinization onset and conclusion(T$_{c}$) and the following higher T$_{c}$ was found with the order of Pusa-33-30＞AC 27＞Nonganbyeo. The varietal range of T$_{o}$ and T$_{c}$ was 50.0~72.5$^{\circ}C$ and 70.2~87.4$^{\circ}C$, respectively. The rice materials tested can be classified by scatter diagram on the plane of upper two principal components contracted from DSC thermogram and various characteristics relevant to processing and sensory preference of rice bread by principal component analysis. AC27, Suweonjo and IR 44 among high-amylose rices showed better suitability to rice bread processing. The temperatures of gelatinization peak and conclusion of rice flour checked by DSC were significantly negatively associated with springiness of rice bread. The most properties relevant to processing and sensory preference of rice bread such as hardness, moistness, springiness, cohesiveness, specific loaf volume and distribution or size of air cell revealed the close correlation between each other.other.

Oil-film flow visualizations and three-dimensional flow measurements have been conducted in the downstream region of a butterfly-type valve used in air-conditioning systems, with the variation of a disk open angle. The flow visualizations in the flow symmetry plane show that there are a pair of counter-rotating separation/recirculation zones as wall as two jet-like near-wall flows. These flow disturbances are strongly depends on the disk open angle. Based on the flow visualization, a qualitative flow model is suggested in the near-field and downstream region of the valve disk. For a small disk open angle, the mean velocities and turbulent intensities have relatively small values in the near-field of the valve disk, but they do not show uniform distributions even in some downstream region. With an increment of the disk open angle, mean velocity variations and turbulent intensities are greatly increased in the immediate downstream region, but uniform distributions are quickly resumed as departing from the valve disk. The mass flow rate remains nearly constant for the disk open angles less than 30 degrees, meanwhile it strongly depends on the disk open angles between 45 and 75 degrees. The pressure loss is found to be about zero for the disk open angles less than 45 degrees, but is substantially increased for those larger than 75 degrees.
