The vortical structures in a turbulent boundary layer (TBL) developed over a flat plate have been investigated experimentally. The flow conditions tested in this study were Re$_{\theta}$ = 3700, Re$_{\delta}$ = 11${\times}$105 and the shape factor H = 1.3. Instantaneous velocity fields in the streamwise-wall-normal planes were measured by using a dynamic PIV system. A trip-wire and sandpapers were placed behind the leading edge to promote the turbulent transition. 1000 velocity fields were obtained consecutively with a time interval of 1 millisecond. Streamwise u-velocity components were temporally averaged in the measuring plane. In addition, 2000 velocity fields were obtained randomly and ensemble-averaged to get the fully-developed turbulent characteristics. Profiles of the normalized u-component, turbulent intensities and Reynolds shear stress were evaluated. The structures of spanwise vortices were extracted from the instantaneous velocity fields by determining the swirling strength, ${\lambda}_{ci}$. The wall-normalized locations of vortices were temporally averaged in the measuring plane with respect to their rotational direction. The correlations between the temporally averaged u and the temporally averaged $y^+$ of vortices were evaluated. For the case of positive vortices, the correlation is not significant. However, the negative vortices show a strong negative correlation. The y-location of negative vortices tends to increase, as the averaged u decreases and vice versa. These findings indicate that the number of negative vortices in the outer layer increases during the outward bursting events.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the change in blood velocity(mm/sec) when compression and/or heat were applied to the knee joint for the elderly who has both normal and painful legs with osteoarthritis(OA). Experimental compression knee band was prepared from the 3D knee data of the average women in 60's. 3D replica of knee was reduced by 7, 10, and 13% from the nude pattern in course direction. Clothing pressure was measured at the front and back of each healthy and painful knee of elderly women for one minute while standing and sitting on the chair. Blood velocity was measured at 13 cm upper from the mid-patella for 15 minutes. Results are as follows: first, compression or heating treatment itself did not change blood velocity of both legs; second, combination treatment with heating and compression was effective to increase blood velocity. In details, for healthy legs, combination treatments with compression by 10% reduced pattern(about 1.3kPa) and heating($43^{\circ}C$) induced the maximal blood velocity, however, for knees with OA, 7% reduced pattern(about 1.0kPa) with simultaneous heating($43^{\circ}C$) was more effective than other cases. These results indicated that pain and spasticity of knee joint with OA could be reduced by applying heat and compression therapy, where the compression level of painful knee should be slightly lower than of healthy leg.

2차원 밝기 영상에서 3차원 정보를 얻는 문제는 컴퓨터 시각 연구에서 매우 중요한 분야를 차지하고 있다. 이러한 목적을 위해 먼저 2차원 영상을 취득할 때 카메라의 위치, 광원의 방향, 영상내 물체의 반사특성 등 본질적인 정보를 이용한다. 이중에서 물체의 표면 반사특성은 매우 중요한 단서가 된다. 과거에는 물체의 반사특성을 Lambertian 반사만을 전제하여 연구를 진행했지만 실세계의 물체는 대부분 Non-Lambertian 반사특성을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 2차원 밝기 영상에서 물체의 반사특성을 해석하고, 반사특성 파라미터를 추정하여 물체의 형상을 복구하는 새로운 방법과 반사특성을 모르는 상황에서 신경회로망 학습에 의해 형상을 복구하는 방법을 제안한다. 물체의 반사특성은 전반사 성분과 난반사 성분을 함께 갖는 Non-Lambertian 면을 그 대상으로 하며, 이러한 반사특성은 전반사(Torrance-Sparrow) 모델과 난반사(Lambertian) 모델의 선형적인 합으로 설명될 수 있다. 본 논문에서 제안한 Photometric Matching은 주변 화소의 밝기 분포를 고려하여 참조영상과의 매칭을 통한 형상복구 알고리듬으로써 기존의 Photometric Stereo에 근본을 두고 있지만, 잡음 및 오차의 누적 정도가 향상되었다. 또한 물체의 반사특성을 모르는 상황에서 신경회로망 학습에 의한 형상복구방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 역전파 학습알고리듬을 이용해 광원 방향에 따른 밝기값에 대해 면법선을 교사하여 형상을 결정한다.

본 논문에서는 정상 콘크리트 시편과 손상된 콘크리트 시편으로부터 초음파 신호의 특징 추출에 관해서 연구하였다. 정상 시편과 다양한 손상 시편으로부터 수집된 초음파 신호는 콘크리트 자체의 이종특성에 기인하여 특징을 분류하는데 많은 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 콘크리트 시편의 특징 추출 방법으로 초음파 신호의 분산에 의한 손상 계수 및 영점 교차 횟수를 이용한 복합 해석을 제안하였다. 또한 초음파 속도법과 Suaris가 제안한 최대 진폭에 의한 손상 계수를 살펴보았다. 본 실험에서는 180kg/㎠ 와 240kg/㎠으로 제작된 두 가지 종류의 콘크리트 시편이 사용되었고, 초음파 신호는 직접 투과방법에 의하여 반사신호를 측정하였다. 실험 결과 제안한 복합 해석 방법이 기존의 초음파 속도법이나 최대 진폭을 이용한 손상 계수에 의한 방법보다 우수한 성능을 보였다.

Purpose: The study was performed to compare patients with anatomical variations in facial asymmetry with patients in the normal range using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and to take the preoperative condition into consideration in the case of a sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO). Methods: The study was conducted on 46 adult patients composed of 2 subdivided groups, an asymmetry group (n=26) and a symmetry group (n=20). The asymmetry group was divided between patients with hemimandibular hyperplasia (HH, n=8) and hemimandibular elongation (HE, n=18). Using cross-sectional computed tomography images, the thickness of cancelleous bone in the buccal area of the mandible, thickness of buccal cortex in the buccal aspect of the mandible, thickness of cancellous bone in the inferior aspect of the mandible, thickness of buccal cortex in the inferior aspect of the mandible, and cross-sectional surface area of the mandible were measured. Results: In the asymmetry group, the cross-sectional area of the mandible including the inferior alveolar nerve positioned on the affected side was significantly different from the symmetry group. Thickness of cancelleous bone in the buccal aspect of the mandible, thickness of cancelleous bone in the inferior aspect of the mandible, and cross-sectional surface area of the mandible in the affected site of hemimandibular hyperplasia was significantly smaller than in the symmetry group. Conclusion: The inferior alveolar nerve runs lower and in a more buccal direction and shows a smaller cross-sectional surface of the mandible in the hemimandibular hyperplasia patients with asymmetry.

This case report demonstrates two different uprighting mechanics separately applied to mesially tipped mandibular first and second molars. The biomechanical considerations for application of these mechanisms are also discussed. For repositioning of the first molar, which was severely tipped and deeply impacted, a novel cantilever mechanics was used. The molar tube was bonded in the buccolingual direction to facilitate insertion of a cantilever from the buccal side. By twisting the distal end of the cantilever, sufficient uprighting moment was generated. The mesial end of the cantilever was hooked over the miniscrew placed between the canine and first premolar, which could prevent exertion of an intrusive force to the anterior portion of the dentition as a side effect. For repositioning of the second molar, an uprighting mechanics using a compression force with two step bends incorporated into a nickel-titanium archwire was employed. This generated an uprighting moment as well as a distal force acting on the tipped second molar to regain the lost space for the first molar and bring it into its normal position. This epoch-making uprighting mechanics could also minimize the extrusion of the molar, thereby preventing occlusal interference by increasing interocclusal clearance between the inferiorly placed two step bends and the antagonist tooth. Consequently, the two step bends could help prevent occlusal interference. After 2 years and 11 months of active treatment, a desirable Class I occlusion was successfully achieved without permanent tooth extraction.

Sensory dysfunction following the injury of the inferior alveolar nerve requires objective examination to get a reproducible data and to provide necessary treatment. This study was designed to evaluate if the SEP(somatosensory evoked potentials) of the mental nerve can be used as an objective method for the diagnosis of nerve injury and sensory disturbances. The subjects were nineteen patients ($37.4{\pm}11.3$ years old) who had been suffered from sensory disturbance of the unilateral lower lip and mental region for over 6 months after the inferior alveolar nerve injuries confirmed by the microsurgical explorations. The clinical neurosensory tests as SLTD(static light touch discrimination), MDD(moving direction discrimination), 2PD(two point discrimination), PPN(pin prick nociception) and accompanied pain were preceded to electro-physiologic examinations as SEP. The score of sensory dysfunction (sum score of all sensory tests) ranged from 0 to 8 were compared to the latency differences of the mental nerve SEPs. The correlation between clinical sensory scores and SEPs were tested by Spearman nonparametric rank correlation analysis, the differences in SEP latency by Kruskal-Wallis test and the latency differences according to PPN and accompanied pain by Mann-Whitney U test. This study resulted that the difference of the latencies between normal side and affected side was $2.22{\pm}2.46$ msec and correlated significantly with the neurosensory dysfunction scores (p=0.0001). Conclusively, the somatosensory evoked potentials of the mental nerve can be a useful diagnostic method to evaluate the inferior alveolar nerve injuries and the change of sensory dysfunction to be reproduced as an objective assessment.

본 논문은 정전기력을 이용한 마찰력 변조를 이용하여 손끝을 통한 촉각정보의 입출력을 동시 구현하는 소자를 제안하였다. 기존의 촉각소자들이 촉각정보의 입력 및 출력을 개별적으로 구현한 것에 비해 본 연구는 손끝의 수직/수평 방향 동작 인식과 질감 구현을 동시에 구현하였다는 점에서 차별성을 가진다. 실험분석을 통해 검증한 손끝 동작 인식기능은 수직방향의 클릭의 경우 0.146nF/$40{\mu}m$, 수평방향의 경우 0.09nF/$750{\mu}m$의 정전용량 변화를 통해 인식 가능하였으며, 질감 구현의 경우 정전기적 인력을 통해 마찰력을 32~152mN의 범위에서 제어할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 교류전압을 이용한 수평적 진동은 60V, 3Hz에서 최대 128.1mN의 마찰력 변조를 구현하였으며, 이는 기존 연구 대비 32% 향상을 보여준다. 본 연구는 손끝에서 정보의 입출력을 동시 구현하여 정보기기의 촉각인터페이스에 적용 가능하다.

A shunt from the left ventricle to the left anterior descending artery is being developed for coronary artery occlusive disease, in which the shunt or conduit connects the the left ventricle (LV) with the diseased artery directly at a point distal to the obstruction. To aid in assessing and optimizing its benefit, a computational model of the cardiovascular system was developed and used to explore various design conditions. Computational fluid dynamic analysis for the shunt hemodynamics was also done using a commercial finite element package. Simulation results indicate that in complete left anterior descending artery (LAD) occlusion, flow can be returned to approximately 65% of normal, if the conduit resistance is equal for forward and reverse flow. The net coronary flow can increase to 80% when the backflow resistance is infinite. The increases in flow rate produced by asymmetric flow resistance are enhanced considerably for a partial LAD obstruction, since the primary effect of resistance asymmetry is to prevent leakage back into the ventricle during diastole. Increased arterial compliance has little effect on net flow with a symmetric shunt, but considerably augments it when the resistance is asymmetric. The computational results suggest that an LV-LAD conduit will be beneficial when the resistance due to artery stenosis exceeds 27 PRU, if the resistance is symmetric. Fluid dynamic simulations for the shunt flow show that a recirculating region generated near the junction of the coronary artery with the bypass shunt. The secondary flow is induced at the cutting plane perpendicular to the axis direction and it is in the attenuated of coronary artery.

Objectives: The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to investigate whether non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) was associated with incident bone mineral density (BMD) decrease. Methods: This study included 4536 subjects with normal BMD at baseline. NAFLD was defined as the presence of fatty liver on abdominal ultrasonography without significant alcohol consumption or other causes. Decreased BMD was defined as a diagnosis of osteopenia, osteoporosis, or BMD below the expected range for the patient's age based on dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate the hazard ratio of incident BMD decrease in subjects with or without NAFLD. Subgroup analyses were conducted according to the relevant factors. Results: Across 13 354 person-years of total follow-up, decreased BMD was observed in 606 subjects, corresponding to an incidence of 45.4 cases per 1000 person-years (median follow-up duration, 2.1 years). In the model adjusted for age and sex, the hazard ratio was 0.65 (95% confidence interval, 0.51 to 0.82), and statistical significance disappeared after adjustment for body mass index (BMI) and cardiometabolic factors. In the subgroup analyses, NAFLD was associated with a lower risk of incident BMD decrease in females even after adjustment for confounders. The direction of the effect of NAFLD on the risk of BMD decrease changed depending on BMI category and body fat percentage, although the impact was statistically insignificant. Conclusions: NAFLD had a significant protective effect on BMD in females. However, the effects may vary depending on BMI category or body fat percentage.
