Background: Mahuang (Ephedra sinica STAPF) is well known as an herbal medicine and has been widely used to reduce body weight and increase athletic ability. However, as a result of reporting many cases of adverse effects on the cardiovascular system, use of dietary supplements containing ephedra was prohibited by the FDA. Objectives : The object of this study was to find the effectiveness of ephedra on weight loss without severe adverse effect. Methods : 16 healthy volunteers consisting of an ephedra group (N=8) and a placebo group (N=8) were investigated. Study form was a randomized, controlled, double-blind clinical trial. The ephedra group took 12g of ephedra while the placebo group took 12g of glutinous rice powder. Both groups were measured with BCA (body composition analysis) on weight loss and with HRV (heart rate variability) on its adverse effect before and after medication. Results : The following results were obtained after taking 12g of ephedra for 14 days. In the ephedra group, body weight reduced significantly. In the placebo group, there were no significant differences of body weight between before and after placebo treatment. There was a slight increase of heart beat rate and deactivation of cardiac activity. Parasympathetic nerves were deactivated, but balances of autonomic nervous system were well maintained. Conclusions : The results suggest that ephedra in healthy adults tends to reduce body weight and deactivation of autonomic nervous system and cardiac activity.

Root resorption is conventionally divided into internal and external varieties. Internal resorption occurs where there is loss of the internal wall of the root canal. and is usually associated with a localized area of necrotic pulp(Trope '||'&'||' Chivian 1984). External resorption occurs where there is loss of the external surface of the root and the resorption may be either transient or progressive(Tronstad 1988). External inflammatory resorption usually occurs following damage to the periodontal ligament or where there is communication between the periodontal ligament and a necrotic pulp. via open dentinal tubules or accessory canals. This type of resorption is usually progressive until root canal treatment is instituted (Barclay 1993).

In this paper, the optimal design and circuit simulation verification results of an LLC resonant half-bridge dc-dc converter using a steady-state model with internal loss resistance are reported. Above all, the input/output voltage gain and frequency characteristic equations in the steady-state were derived by reflecting the internal loss resistance in the equivalent circuit. Based on the results, an LLC resonant half-bridge dc-dc converter with an input voltage of 360-420V, an output voltage of 54V, and a maximum power of 3kW was designed, and to verify the design, the PSIM circuit simulation was executed to compare and analyze the result. In particular, the operating range of the converter could be drawn from the frequency characteristic graph of the voltage gain, and when the converter was operated under light and maximum load conditions, it was confirmed that similar results were obtained by comparing simulation results and calculation results in the switching frequency characteristic graph. In addition, the change of the switching frequency with respect to the load current at each input voltage was compared with the calculated value and the simulation result. As a result, it was possible to confirm the usefulness of the analysis result reflecting the internal loss resistance proposed in this paper and the process of the optimal design.

This paper proposed a new formula for predicting acoustic power transmission loss of simple expansion chamber with two internal partitions. Seventeen cases of computational results were performed and the database was constructed for the TL according to the various positions of internal partitions. Using this database, firstly, the formula for the peak values of TL at certain frequencies was developed using the least square estimation. Secondly, the formula for the TL curve could be obtained automatically with the input data of the positions of two internal partitions. The formula of TL developed in this paper showed good agreement with computational results. This formula will be helpful for the positioning of internal partitions to improve TL at target frequencies.

PURPOSE. This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the effect of implant connection design (external vs. internal) on the fit discrepancy and torque loss of zirconia and titanium abutments. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Two regular platform dental implants, one with external connection ($Br{\aa}nemark$, Nobel Biocare AB) and the other with internal connection (Noble Replace, Nobel Biocare AB), were selected. Seven titanium and seven customized zirconia abutments were used for each connection design. Measurements of geometry, marginal discrepancy, and rotational freedom were done using video measuring machine. To measure the torque loss, each abutment was torqued to 35 Ncm and then opened by means of a digital torque wrench. Data were analyzed with two-way ANOVA and t-test at ${\alpha}=0.05$ of significance. RESULTS. There were significant differences in the geometrical measurements and rotational freedom between abutments of two connection groups (P<.001). Also, the results showed significant differences between titanium abutments of internal and external connection implants in terms of rotational freedom (P<.001). Not only customized internal abutments but also customized external abutments did not have the exact geometry of prefabricated abutments (P<.001). However, neither connection type (P=.15) nor abutment material (P=.38) affected torque loss. CONCLUSION. Abutments with internal connection showed less rotational freedom. However, better marginal fit was observed in externally connected abutments. Also, customized abutments with either connection could not duplicate the exact geometry of their corresponding prefabricated abutment. However, neither abutment connection nor material affected torque loss values.

본 연구에서는 과채류의 냉동냉장시 내부압력에 따른 조직파괴를 방지하기 위한 기초연구로 동결 방법에 따른 내부압력 변화에 대하여 조사하였다. 과채류의 동결에 의한 중량감소율은 침지식 동결방식에서 0.44∼l.38% 수준으로 가장 적게 나타났으며, 동결방식에 따른 중량감소율 차이는 수박에서 가장 심하여 수분함량에 클수록 동결속도에 따른 효과가 비교적 크다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 동결속도에 따른 내부압력은 배, 사과 및 메론에 있어 침지식 방법에 의한 동결시 체적팽창 및 수축에 따른 내부압력 차가 가장 적게 나타났으며, 송풍식 동결에서 가장 크게 나타나 동결속도가 빠를수록 내압의 크기는 적다는 것을 알 수 있었으나 딸기 및 수박의 경우는 오히려 침지식에서 내압이 가장 크게 나타났다. 균온 처리하지 않은 동결에 있어 과일의 내부압력 변화는 약 2 psig 수준인 반면에 균온 처리한 수박의 내부압력 변화는 균온처리하지 않은 수박의 내부압력 변화 경향과 유사하지만 일정한 수준의 내압을 발생시킴으로써 내부압력의 크기도 약 1.3 psig 수준으로 상당히 적게 나타났다. 또한, 해동시에 있어서도 균온처리한 시료의 내부압력 크기가 균온처리하지 않은 내부압력 크기보다 상대적으로 적게 나타났다. 균온처리 동결시, 다단계 처리보다는 3∼4회 수준의 일정한 균온 처리가 내부압력의 증감 폭을 줄일 수 있었다.

To establish the exclusive role of hydrogen on burst behaviour of Zircaloy-4 during loss-of-coolant accident transients, an extensive single-rod burst tests were conducted on both unirradiated as-received and hydrogenated Zircaloy-4 cladding tubes at different heating rates and internal overpressures. The visual observations of cladding tubes during bursting as well as post-burst are presented in detail to understand the effect of hydrogen concentration, heating rate, and internal pressure. Impact of hydrogen on burst parameters-burst stress, burst strain, burst temperature-during loss-of-coolant accident transients are compared and discussed. Rupture at multiple locations for hydrogenated cladding at lower internal pressure and higher heating rate is reported for the very first time. A novel burst criterion accounting hydrogen concentration in nuclear fuel cladding is proposed.
