Flow characteristics and aerodynamic forces acting on an elliptic cylinder placed in a plane boundary layer were investigated experimentally. Four cylinder models with axis ratio(major axis to minor axis, AR=A/B) of 1, 2, 3, and 4 having the same equivalent diameter were used in this experiment. The Reynolds number based on the equivalent diameter $D_e$(=20mm) was 13,000. In the case of circular cylinder, regular vortex shedding occurs for the cylinder gaps larger than G/B=0.3 and is not almost related to the boundary layer thickness. But, for the elliptic cylinders, the vortex shedding frequency is increased with increasing the gap ratio (G/B) and the axis ratio (AR) of elliptic cylinders. The maximum drag coefficient acting on a circular cylinder is mainly affected by the boundary layer thickness. But, the elliptic cylinders(AR$\geq$2), except for the smaller gap G/B<0.2, show a nearly constant drag coefficient which is much smaller than that of a circular cylinder. The base pressure on the flat plate decreases with increasing the axis ratio(AR) of the elliptic cylinder. In the case of a circular cylinder, the base pressure has the minimum value at the gap ratio G/B=0.4, but it occurs at G/D=2 for elliptic cylinders. The mean velocity of the cylinder wake is quickly recovered at a small cylinder height ratio(H/$\delta$), but the turbulent intensity is rapidly recovered at a large cylinder height ratio(H/$\delta$). The effective wake region in the plane boundary layer is shrinkaged with increasing the axis ratio(AR) of elliptic cylinder. And the drag coefficient and streamwise turbulent intensity of the elliptic cylinder with AR=4 are less than half of those for the circular cylinder(AR=1).

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate whether the accuracy and internal porosity of removable partial denture frameworks differ depending on the build direction in the selective laser melting method. Methods: A partially edentulous maxillary study model was scanned, and the anterior-posterior palatal bar was then digitally designed. The angles formed between the z-axis and the path of the insertion and removal were divided into five groups: -60°, -30°, 0°, 30°, and 60°. For each group, three removable partial denture metal frameworks were fabricated and used as specimens. The inner surface of each sample was scanned and superimposed on the design file to obtain the root mean square (RMS) value, and the average RMS value of each group was measured. One sample was randomly selected from each group, and the equivalent diameter and sphericity of the pores were analyzed using industrial X-ray three-dimensional computed tomography. To compare statistical differences between groups, the Kruskal-Wallis test of SPSS Statistics ver. 27.0 (IBM) was used (α=0.05). Results: The average RMS values of the whole inner surface accuracy of the specimens were in the order of -60°<0°<-30°<30°<60° (p<0.05). The equivalent diameter and sphericity of internal pores were significantly different among groups (p<0.001). Conclusion: The build orientation of the selective laser melting method influences the accuracy and internal porosity of removable partial denture frameworks.

Silica particle formation and growth process including chemical reaction, coagulation and sintering was studied in a counterflow diffusion flame burner. The counterflow geometry provides a one dimensional flow field, along the stagnation point streamline, which greatly simplifies interpretation of the particle growth characteristics. $SiCl_4$ has been used as the source of silicon in hydrogen/oxygen/argon flames. The temperature profiles obtained by calculation showed a good agreement with experiment data. Using one and two dimensional sectional method, aerosol dynamics equation in a flame was solved, and these two results were compared. The two dimensional section method can consider sintering effect and growth of primary particle during synthesis, thus it showed evolution of morphology of non-spherical particles (aggregates) using surface fractal dimension. The effects of flame temperature and chemical loading on particle dynamics were studied. Geometric mean diameter based on surface area and total number concentration followed the trend of experiment results, especially, the change of diameters showed the sintering effect in high temperature environment.

Pulmonary blood vessels with diameters of $200{\sim}400\;{\mu}m$ produce considerably more force in response to vasoconstrictor drugs than those which are either smaller or larger. We have therefore investigated whether or not hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) is more powerful in vessels of these diameters. We have also looked at the possibility that vessels from different regions of the lung respond differently. To do this we have grouped vessels according to their location within the lung as well as by size. We used a small vessel myograph (Cambustion AM10, Cambridge, UK) to study 208 preconstricted $(1\;{\mu}M\;PGF_{2{\alpha}})$ small pulmonary arteries $(300{\sim}800\;{\mu}m$ diameter when stretched to a tension equivalent to 25 mmHg transmural pressure) from 39 rats anaesthetized with 2% inspired halothane. A biphasic contraction was observed in response to hypoxia (ca. 25 mmHg $Po_2).$ The magnitudes of both the first, transient, phase (PT, peak tension) and of the second, sustained, phase (SST, steady state tension) were measured. The latter was measured 40 min after the start of hypoxia. The first phase was most pronounced in vessels with an average diameter of 423 ${\mu}m$ while the second phase was most pronounced in larger vessels (mean diameter 505 ${\mu}m).$ These maximal responses were all seen in vessels somewhat larger than reported by others. The responses of smaller vessels $(400{\sim}500\;{\mu}m)$ did not depend upon their location within the lung, but those of larger vessels $(600{\sim}700\;{\mu}m)$ showed regional differences. Those from the right lobe and those from the base of the lung gave the largest responses. It was especially noticeable that large vessels (631 ${\mu}m$ diameter) from the base of the right lung gave the biggest responses. Thus HPV seems to occur not in a uniform manner, dependent solely to the size of vessels, but it also depends to some degree on the region of the lung from which vessels have been taken. Furthermore, our results suggest that larger vessels, as well as smaller ones, may contribute significantly to HPV.

It is many devices to obtain the globular structure because the globularity of the structure is the key to the low apparent viscosity and also to good rheological properties. In this study, the morphology of the change of primary Al phase in A356 alloy by electro magnetic stirrer was investigated to obtain the globular structure. The parameters are the current, stirring time, pouring temperature individually. The greater current and longer stirring time was to get the finer the primary however in case of over the 80A of current and 60sec of stirring time, the primary Al was merged together and was increased. The effect of pouring temperature has an important effect on the size of primary phase. About the $675^{\circ}C$, the primary Al was very fined.

Recently, industries and academic institutes have been interested in the rheology forming technology for light weight materials. However, this rheocasting process has advantages such as the high initial investment cost and the lower mechanical properties than thixocasting. In this study, the continuous fabrication of rheological material with a spiral stirring equipment(mechanical stirring system) was newly devised to overcome the disadvantages of rheocasting process. The experimental parameters were stirring time($0{\sim}1200sec$), stirring velocity ($0{\sim}100rpm$) and stirring temperature($650{\sim}680^{\circ}C$). The optimal conditions for fabricated rheological material of A6061 alloy were stirring time at 300sec, stirring velocity at 60rpm and stirring temperature at $650^{\circ}C$. At these results, the equivalent diameter was $45{\sim}65{\mu}m$, mean roundness was $1.4{\sim}1.6$ and Vickers hardness was 60Hv.

Objective: To evaluate the technical feasibility and the clinical effectiveness of sclerotherapy for the treatment of peritoneal inclusion cysts (PICs). Materials and Methods: Between June 1996 and February 2001, eight PICs in seven female patients aged 28-43 (mean, 36) years were instilled with sclerosant (povidone-iodine in three, ethanol in three, both povidone-iodine and ethanol in one). All seven patients subsequently experienced less abdominal pain. After drainage via an 8.5-Fr pigtail catheter inserted in the PICs (transabdominally in six cases, transvaginally in one), sclerosant equivalent in volume to about one-third that of drained fluid was introduced daily until the drained volume was less than 5ml. Follow-up by means of clinical procedures and ultrasound was performed every three months, at which time the success rate, possible complications and recurrence were determined. Results: Sclerotherapy was technically successful in all seven patients, though immediately after the procedure, minor complications were noted in three patients (mild pain in two, mild fever in one). During the follow-up of 4-60 (mean, 24.7) months, sclerotherapy proved successful and without long-term complications in all seven patients: lower abdominal pain disappeared and the diameter of the cysts decreased more than 50%, with complete regression in four cases. During the follow-up period there was no recurrence. Conclusion: Sclerotherapy following catheter insertion is technically feasible and effective for the treatment of PICs.

전립선암에서 방사선치료의 경우 직장의 선량을 감소시키기 위하여 항문을 통하여 일정한 양의 공기를 주입한 풍선을 이용한다. 이런 이유로 전립선암의 방사선치료는 매일 영상유도를 하기 위하여 CBCT를 획득하고 있다. 치료 전 처음 촬영한 전산화단층촬영과 가장 비슷한 상태의 해부학적 구조를 유지시키기 위하여 전처치를 하고 있지만 완벽하게 일치된다고 할 수 없다. 두 명의 실제 치료계획에서는 방광의 용적은 45.82 cc와 63.43 cc 및 등가직경 4.4 cm, 4.9 cm로 측정되었다. 본 연구의 20회 CBCT 결과에서 방광의 용적은 평균 56.2 cc, 105.6cc로 평가되었다. 치료계획 전산화단층촬영에서 평가된 선량과 A 환자의 기준으로 정한 CBCT의 선량은 PTV Mean dose는 1.74%, Bladder Mean dose는 96.67%의 차이로 평가되었으며, B 환자의 경우 PTV Mean dose는 4.31%, Bladder Mean dose는 97.35%의 차이로 평가되었다. 방광의 용적의 변화에 따라 PTV와 방광의 선량변화가 발생된다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 방광의 용적의 변화에 따른 방광 선량의 상관계수 값은 평균선량 $R^2=-0.94$의 선형성을 나타냈다. 방광의 용적변화에 따른 PTV선량의 상관계수 값은 평균선량 $R^2=0.04$의 선형성을 나타냈다. 방광 용적의 변화에 따라 PTV의 선량 변화가 방광의 선량변화보다 더 크다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
