Nanotribological characteristics between a Si$_3$N$_4$ AFM tip and hydrophobic thin films were experimentally studied. Tests were performed to measure the nano adhesion and friction in both AFM (atomic force microscope) and LFM (lateral force microscope) modes in various .ranges of normal load. Plasma-modified thin polymeric films were deposited on Si-wafer (100). Results showed that wetting angle of plasma-modified thin polymeric film increased with the treating time, which resulted in the hydrophobic surface and the decrease of adhesion and friction. Nanotribological characteristics of these surfaces were compared with those of other hydrophobic surfaces, such as DLC, OTS and IBAD-Ag coated surfaces. Those of OTS coated surface were superior to those of others, though wetting angle of plasma-modified thin polymeric film is higher.

A case of mediastinal seminoma is presented. A male driver, 27 years old Korean, has been suffered from substernal pain, cough and moderate swallowing difficulty since 5 months prior to this admission. At the time of onset, he visited at a local clinic to find some mass in his anterior mediastinum on chest P-A and lateral X-ray check. Recently, intermittent hiccups with much aggravated dysphagia forced him to visit our hospital, and admitted for radical resection under the impression of anterior superior mediastinal tumor of thymus origin. Median sternotomy was done and total resection of the tumor of 8.0X11.0X3.5cm was done without any specific complication and biopsy of the tumor revealed as primary mediastinal seminoma of the mediastinum. Supplementary prophylactic irradiation therapy was done with a tumor dose of 4,000 rad in 4 weeks after operation. Postoperative hospital course was uneventful and patient was joyful with his occupation for 3 months after discharge.

Hemangiopericytoma is a rare tumor of vascular origin, first described by Stout and Murray in 1942. It is characterized by a proliferation of capillaries, surrounding by a mass of spindle shaped or round cells. A 55 year-old man was admitted with a 2 years history of dull pain on the right upper posterior chest and mild dyspnea on Feb. 1978. On admission, chest PA and right lateral x-ray showed a large well defined homogenous increased density in the right upper posterior chest. Yellowish to brownish colored huge firm mass, which occupied entirely the right superior posterior mediastinum, was removed. The tumor was dense adhesive with right upper & lower lobe and Rt. upper posterior chest wall. The origin of tumor was not obvious. The tumor was confirmed as hemangiopericytoma, locating at the right posterior mediastinum by histopathologic examination. The postoperative course was uneventful, and he was made irradiation therapy after discharge.

Traditionally, load flows have been calculated using the Gauss-Seidel and Newton-Raphson Method. DistFlow Method which is proposed by Wu and Baran is superior to the other two methods because it does not require the admittance matrix calculation to optimize the distribution system. This paper introduces a new alternative algorithm to the DistFlow Method which is slow and complex to find solutions as the number of lateral and sublateral increases. The proposed load flow method can construct System Jacobian easily. We can minimize the off-diagonal elements of the branch Jacobian and submatrices in the System Jacobian. Simulation results show that progressive performances of the proposed algorithm.

LTPS technology based on SLS Crystallization was intensively reviewed. LTPS structure produced by SLS crystallization is composed of much larger grains compared with conventional ELA crystallization structure, which can give higher TFT performances. However, TFT performance uniformity and anisotropy problem should be solved for it to be used in mass production. TFT performance uniformity was from main grain boundary position and could be solved by equal defect area structure $(EDAS^{TM})$. TFT performance anisotropy could be also solved by multi-channel (MC) structure that can make parallel component in perpendicular channel direction. The higher TFT performances from SLS technology can make superior optical and/or electrical properties and has been adopted in mass production successfully.

GRIN-SCH quantum well structured Laser Diode were fabricated using MOCVD and operated as CW at room temperature. The threshold current density of the LD with 670${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ cavity length was 530 A/$\textrm{cm}^2$. For the ridge waveguide type index guiding structured LD with 6${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ stripe width and 240${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ cavity length, the threshold current was 50㎃. The maximum differential quantum efficiency was 0.95W/A when the optical output was 60mW. The lasing wavelength of QW LD was 865nm. In the L-I measurement. TE mode was superior to TM mode. From the near field pattern, single lateral mode operation was observed.

Nano adhesion and friction characteristics between SPM(scanning electron microscope) tips and flat plates of different materials were experimentally studied. Tests were performed to measure adhesion and friction in AFM(atomic force microscope) and LFM(lateral force microscope) modes in different conditions of relative humidity. Three different Si$_3$N$_4$ tips (rdaii : 15nm, 22nm and 50 nm) and three different flat plates of Si-wafer(100), W-DLC(tungsten-incorporated diamond-like carbon) and DLC were used. Results generally showed that adhesion and friction increased with the tip radius, and W-DLC and DLC surfaces were superior to Si-wafer. But the adhesion force of Si-wafer showed non linearity with the tip radius while W-DLC and DLC surfaces showed good correlation to the “JKR model”. It was found that high adhesion force between Si-wafer and a large radius of tip was caused by a capillary action due to the condensed water.

Objective: To compare condylar position and morphology among different vertical skeletal patterns. Methods: Diagnostic cone-beam computed tomography images of 60 adult patients (120 temporomandibular joints) who visited the orthodontic clinic of Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital were reviewed. The subjects were divided into three equal groups according to the mandibular plane angle: hypodivergent, normodivergent, and hyperdivergent groups. Morphology of the condyle and mandibular fossa and condylar position were compared among the groups. Results: The hypodivergent and hyperdivergent groups showed significant differences in superior joint spaces, antero-posterior condyle width, medio-lateral condyle width, condyle head angle, and condylar shapes. Conclusions: Condylar position and morphology vary according to vertical facial morphology. This relationship should be considered for predicting and establishing a proper treatment plan for temporomandibular diseases during orthodontic treatment.

We investigated light absorption layer effect on metal-induced lateral crystallization (MILC) growth rate and MILC thin films transistors (TFTs). As annealing method, we used scanning-rapid thermal annealing (RTA). MILC growth rate which was crystallized by light absorption layer and using scanning-RTA was 3 times than normal MILC which was without light absorption layer growth rate. Also we compared MILC TFTs characteristics which were combined to light absorption layer with conventional MILC TFTs. After scanning-RTA process, MILC-TFTs which were with light absorption layer were superior to conventional MILC-TFTs. With this new MILC-TFTs structure, we could reduced crystallization time and obtain good electrical properties.
