Background: Previous studies of radial nerve conduction study (NCS) did not present how to measure the length of the radial nerve across the elbow, and did not even mention how to manage the spiral course of the nerve. This study aimed to applicate the most reliable method to measure the length of the radial nerve during NCS. Methods: Three points (A, B, and C) were determined along the relatively straight course of the radial nerve. The distance was measured using three different methods: L1) straight distance corresponding to the A-C distance, L2) sum of the distances corresponding to the A-B-C distance, L3) based on the L2, but the elbow is flexed at a $45^{\circ}$ angle. We compared the three methods of distance measurement and the calculated nerve conduction velocities (V1, V2, and V3) in normal healthy subjects. Results: 19 normal participants were enrolled. The mean value for method L1, L2 and L3 were $22.5{\pm}1.8cm$, $24.0{\pm}2.1cm$, and $23.2{\pm}2.1cm$ (p < 0.001). Calculated conduction velocities using those distance measurement methods as follows (p < 0.001): V1 ($60.9{\pm}2.7m/s$), V2 ($64.6{\pm}3.3m/s$), and V3 ($63.4{\pm}3.9m/s$). V2 was significantly greater than V1 and V3 (p < 0.001, p = 0.010, respectively). Conclusions: The distance measurement using a stopover point near the lateral epicondyle between two stimulus points in position of a fully extended elbow with forearm pronation is the most appropriate posture for radial motor NCS.

The measuring tests on the maximum opening distance and the maximum capacity opening distance were conducted on the one hundred normal dental college students and staffs o Seoul National University in order to study the relationships between the maximum opening distance and maximum capacity opening distance. The results were as follows: 1. The maximum opening distance and maximum capacity opening distance were not coincided. 2. The distance of the maximum opening was higher than that of the maximum capacity opening. 3. Physiologic reflex was caused by the water injected into the mouth. 4. The correlation between the maximum opening distance, and maximum capacity opening distance was hardly recognized. 5. Each correlation of the weight height and cheek thickness to maximum opening distance and maximum capacity opening distance was not recognized.

This paper develops an efficient algorithm for the minimum distance calculation between two general polyhedra(convex and/or concave) in three-dimensional space. The polyhedra approximate objects using flat polygons which composed of more than three vertices. The algorithm developed in this paper basically computes minimum distance between two polygons(one polygon per object) and finds a set of two polygons which makes a global minimum distance. The advantage of the algorithm is that the global minimum distance can be computed in any cases. But the big disadvantage is that the minimum distance computing time is rapidly increased with the number of polygons which used to approximate an object. This paper develops a method to eliminate sets of two polygons which have no possibility of minimum distance occurrence, and an efficient algorithm to compute a minimum distance between two polygons in order to compensate the inherent disadvantage of the algorithm. The correctness of the algorithm is verified not only comparing analytically calculated exact minimum distance with one calculated using the developed algorithm but also watching a line which connects two points making a global minimum distance of a convex object and/or a concave object. The algorithm efficiently finds minimum distance between two convex objects made of 224 polygons respectively with a computation time of about 0.1 second.

Consider the mean distance of Brownian motion on Riemannian manifolds. We obtain the first three terms of the asymptotic expansion of the mean distance by means of Stochastic Differential Equation(SDE) for Brownian motion on Riemannian manifold. This method proves to be much simpler for further expansion than the methods developed by Liao and Zheng(1995). Our expansion gives the same characterizations as the mean exit time from a small geodesic ball with regard to Euclidean space and the rank 1 symmetric spaces.

Vibration data from two blasting sites were analyzed to determine the sufficient sample number for blasting vibration estimation. Most important result is that much more than 30 sample data and succeeding measurement are necessary to estimate confident blasting vibration level and to determine limit scaled distance.

The present research examined the contribution of sounds′ familiarity to auditory distance perception, while attempting to control the influences of unavoidable physical characteristics among sounds. Different vocal "styles" ("shouts", "whispers" and "a normal conversation") of man and woman were recorded digitally and presented from a stationary loudspeaker to blindfolded listeners in a semi anechoic chamber. Playback levels were adjusted to remove extraneous sound level cues. The results showed that the shouting voice was judged as appearing farthest, the whispering voice closest, and the conversational voice was intermediate. The findings suggested that the perception of auditory distance may be affected by past experience (or familiarity).

This paper developes an efficient algorithm for the minimum distance calculation between general polyhedra(convex and/or concave). The polyhedron approximates and object using flat polygons which composed of more than three veritices. The algorithm developed in this paper basically computes minimun distance betwen two convex polygons and finds a set of polygons whcih makes a global minimum distance. The advantage of the algorithm is that the global minimum distance can be computed in any cases. But the big disadvantage is that minimum distance computing time is repidly increased with the number of polygons which used to approximate an object. This paper developes a method to eliminate unnecessary sets of polygons, and an efficinet algorithm to compute a minimum distance between two polygons in order to compensate the inherent disadvantage of the algorithm. It takes only a few times iteration to find minimum distance for msot polygons. The correctness of the algortihm are visually tested with a line which connects two points making a global minimum distance of simple convex object(box) and concave object(pipe). The algorithm can find minimum distance between two convex objects made of about 200 polygons respectively less than a second computing time.

This study was undertaken to find out oropharyngeal movement of the class III malocclusion patients during swallowing by using the cinefluoroscopic method. The experimental group was composed of fifteen male adults with class III malocclusion whose mean age was 24.4 yrs. The control group was composed of fifteen male adults with normal occlusion whose mean age was 24.8 yrs. The results were as follows: 1. The horizontal position of the tongue tip was more anterior in the class III malocclusion group than in the normal group through all stages. 2. The tongue level was lower in the class III malocclusion group than in the normal group during stage 1, stage 3, and stage 4. 3. The horizontal position of the hyoid bone was more anterior in the class III malocclusion group than in the normal group during stage 1 only. 4. The tip of the soft palate was lower in the class III malocclusion group than in the normal group during stage 1 only, and there was no significant difference in the velar movement between the class III malocclusion group and the normal group during swallowing. 5.

Viscous solutions of supersonic jet impinging on a flat plate normal to the flow are simulated using three-dimensional Navier-Stokes solver. The jet impinging flow structure exhibits such complex nature as shock shell, plate shock and Mach disk depending on the flow parameters. Among others, the dominant parameters are the ratio of the nozzle exit pressure to the ambient pressure and the distance between the nozzle exit plane and the impinging plane. In the present study, the nozzle contour and the pressure ratio are held fixed, while the jet impinging distance is varied to illuminate the characteristics of the jet plume with the distance. As the plate is placed close to the nozzle at 3D high, the computed wall pressure at or near the jet center oscillates with large amplitude with respect to the mean value. Here D is the nozzle exit diameter. The amplitude of wall pressure fluctuations subsides as the distance increases, but the maximum pressure level at the plate is achieved when the distance is about 4D high. The frequency of the wall pressure is estimated at 6.0 kHz, 9.3 kHz, and 10.0 kHz as the impinging distance varies from 3D, 4D, to 6D, respectively.
