Objectives: This study was performed to assess the anatomy of mandibular first molars. Materials and Methods: In this in vivo study, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) volumes of 312 bilateral intact first mandibular molars from 156 patients (79 men and 77 women; average age, 35.6 ± 11.2 years) were investigated in terms of the direction of each canal's curvature in the buccolingual and mesiodistal dimensions (direction of the position of the apex in relation to the longitudinal axis of the root), the presence of an isthmus (a narrow, ribbon-shaped communication between 2 root canals) in 3 segments (0-2, 2-4, and 4-6 mm) from the apex), and the presence and number of accessory canals (smaller canals besides the main root canals, connecting the pulp to the periodontium). Data were analyzed statistically (α = 0.05). Results: Mesiolingual canals were mostly buccally and distally inclined, while mesiobuccal and distolingual canals were mostly distally curved. Isthmuses were more common in younger patients (χ² test, p < 0.05). The average numbers of accessory canals in the apical, middle, and coronal segments were 9.9 ± 4.2, 6.9 ± 2.9, and 9.3 ± 3.0 canals per segment, respectively (analysis of variance, p < 0.001). Age and sex were not associated with the number of accessory canals (p > 0.05). Conclusions: The complex anatomy of these teeth deserves attention during non-surgical or surgical endodontic treatment. Around the apex, isthmuses might be more prevalent in younger and female individuals.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the kinematical characteristics of somersault with twist in the Lou Yun and Akopian motions and to provide useful information to gymnastic athletes in men's vault. Method: The study subjects were 12 male adult top athletes. After 12 trials (7 Lou Yun and 5 Akopian trials) filmed by using two digital high-speed camcorders set at 90 frames/sec, kinematical data were collected through the direct linear transformation (DLT) method. The mean differences in biomechanical variables were compared during the second flight upward phase. The kinematic characteristics of somersault with twist in the Lou Yun and Akopian motions were identified. Results: In Lou Yun motion, the vertical release velocity through horse breaking was not difficult to obtain, so the athletes had enough time to prepare for the twist. Therefore, the Lou Yun motion has an advantage to make a cat twist in the pike posture. In the Akopian motion, obtaining the horizontal velocity through horse pushing was so easy that the Akopian athletes attained a large angular impulse and angular momentum. Therefore, the Akopian motion has an advantage to making a tilt twist in the body tilting posture. Conclusion: This study suggests that gymnastic athletes should control their body segment movements in order to increase the twisting angular velocity of the whole body, which requires regulation of the longitudinal moment of inertia of the body. Moreover, athletes should prepare for the shoulder and hip twists early in order to make the landing position in advance.

Purpose: Lack of a valid prognosis of gross motor development in children with cerebral palsy (CP) and the absence of longitudinal data on which to base an opinion in Korea have made it difficult to plan treatment and counsel prognosis issues accurately. The purposes of this study were to examine whether the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) is valuable to prognostication about gross motor progress in children with CP in Korea. Methods: Medical records of 61 patients were retrospectively reviewed that visited outpatient department and were diagnosed as CP. Various information was surveyed including CP type, visual acuity, cognitive function, motor acquisition age, ambulatory status, development curves of Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) according to each of the 5 level of GMFCS. All of them were compared with other studies. Also the gross motor development curves and the maximum GMFM score derived from this study were compared with the Palisano's report and the Rosenbaum's report. Results: Based on a total of 494 GMFM assessments provided by this study, the 5 distinct motor development curves and the maximum GMFM score were created. These observations is corresponding with the Palisano's and the Rosenbaum`s Development curves. Conclusion: The 5 distinct motor development curves (GMFCS) that were created by Palisano's and Rosenbaum's study is useful in Korea, providing parents and clinicians with a means to plan interventions and to judge progress over time.

운전자의 인적요인분석을 위한 기초자료를 제공하는 디지털 운행기록계에서는 GPS 속도, 방위각, RPM정보 등 극히 제한된 운행정보만을 기록하여 실제 운전자의 운전행태를 분석하는 데는 많은 한계가 있다. 또한, 현재 상업화가 활발히 이루어지고 있는 차량용 블랙박스는 운전자의 운전행동보다는 차량에 대한 위험사항을 기록하고 있는 방식으로서 운전자의 실제 운전행태를 분석하기에는 많은 문제점을 보이고 있다. 따라서 기존의 교통안전관련 연구들을 살펴보면 인적요인분석에 필요한 운전자의 위험운전분석이 극히 제한적으로 이루어져 있는 현실이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 사업용자동차의 위험운전유형과 각 운전유형을 결정하는 임계치를 이용하여 버스운전자의 운전행태를 분석하였다. 또한, 버스운전자에게 위험운전에 대해 단말기를 통해 실시간으로 경고정보를 자동 제공하여 실시간경고정보에 따른 효과분석을 실시하였다. 운전자들의 행태분석에 대한 해석은 차량의 가속도 센서와 회전 각속도 센서의 종방향 가속도(Ax), 횡방향 가속도(Ay), 회전 각속도(Yaw rate) 등에 대한 분석을 통해 이루어졌다.

To address the problems caused by the strong coupling of an airbreathing hypersonic vehicle's airframe and propulsion to the integrated control system design, an integrated airframe-propulsion model is established, and the coupling characteristics between the aircraft and engine are analyzed. First, the airframe-propulsion integration model is established based on the typical nonlinear longitudinal dynamical model of an air-breathing hypersonic vehicle and the one-dimensional dual-mode scramjet model. Thrust, moment, angle of attack, altitude, and velocity are used as transfer variables between the aircraft model and the engine model. The one-dimensional scramjet model can accurately reflect the working state of the engine and provide data to support the coupling analysis. Second, owing to the static instability of the aircraft model, the linear quadratic regulator (LQR) controller of the aircraft is designed to ensure attitude stability and height tracking. Finally, the coupling relationship between the aircraft and the engine is revealed through simulation examples. The interaction between vehicle attitude and engine working condition is analyzed, and the influence of vehicle attitude on engine safety is considered. When the engine is in a critical working state, the attitude change of the aircraft will not affect the engine safety without considering coupling, whereas when coupling is considered, the attitude change of the aircraft may cause the engine unstart, which demonstrates the significance of considering coupling characteristics.

This study examined the relationship between social support and depressive symptom among the middle and old-aged people, using dataset of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing(KLoSA 3rd). The subjects were 7,874 persons aged 45 and over. Using this data, social support variables and its relation to depressions was observed based on social network model. A multiple regression model was used to study an association between social support and depressive symptom, controlling for socio-economic characteristics, health status and behavior. Also, this paper run two subgroup regression models based on gender of subjects (male, female), controlling for confounding variables. Authors found that there was lower the number of meetings with friends (1~3 times in a week: b=0.597, p<0.0001; 1~2 times in a month: b=0.609, p<0.0001; 1~6 times in a year or under: b=1.598, p<0.0001) and negative relationship between spouse satisfaction (b=-0.007, p=0.0237), children satisfaction (b=-0.019, p<0.0001) and depressive symptom. Also quantitative effect differences were compared according to gender and its effect on depression. Compared to the male group, female group showed significant difference in quantitative effect with number of meetings with friends and spouse satisfaction, but children satisfaction didn't show clear differences according to gender. This study suggested the importance of social support for promoting mental health among the middle and old-aged people.

This study analyzes the effects of women's labour force participation and work-family reconciliation support on life-cycle fertility in Korea. The analysis is based on the longitudinal data from Korean Labour and Income Panel Study (KLIPS), which include the available information on life-cycle fertility and employment history. Employing a dynamic model of fertility, we estimated the life-cycle fertility of all the 15-49 years old women considered in this study by using a duration model. The major results of this study were as follows: First, women's labour force participation had a negative effect on the first birth, second birth, and all births (transition to births starting at different parities). Women's employment tended to lengthen the interval between births. Second, the availability of maternal leave had a positive effect on the first birth and all births for working women. Providing maternal leave to working women decreased the opportunity cost of childbearing and in turn, reduced the interbirth interval of women. However, the availability of parental leave had no significant effect on the births of working women. Third, the financial support for childcare had a positive effect on the first birth and all births. The economic support for childcare led to the reduction in the interbirth interval of women by increasing the probability of births. The use of a childcare center for the first child, which substitutes for the time that women needed to take care of their children, classified as time-intensive consumption goods, did not have any effect on the second birth. Fourth, the part-time employment of women had a positive effect on the second birth. A flexible working time schedule tended to decrease the interval between the first and the second births.
