중거리 유도무기 체계가 탄도탄과 같이 기동이 심한 표적과 교전할 때에는 지상 레이더는 표적 및 유도탄 위치정보를 보다 빈번하게 전송하여야 하지만, 자신의 임무를 수행해야 하므로 유도탄 및 교전 표적에 대한 정보를 필요이상으로 자주 전송할 수 없다. 이러한 상황에서 탐색기가 자체적으로 표적의 거리, 속도, 방향을 측정함으로서 지상레이더에 추가 부담을 지우지 않고 우수한 추적 정밀도로 교전성능을 향상할 시킬 수 있는 고반복 펄스열을 사용하는 PRF 변조방식을 제안한다.

Seismic reliability analysis of a jacket-type support structure for an offshore wind turbine was performed. When defining the limit state function by using the dynamic response of the support structure, a number of dynamic calculations must be performed in a First-Order Reliability Method (FORM). That means analysis costs become too high. In this paper, a new reliability analysis approach using a static response is used. The dynamic effect of the response is considered by introducing a new parameter called the Peak Response Factor (PRF). The probability distribution of PRF can be estimated by using the peak value in the dynamic response. The probability distribution of the PRF was obtained by analyzing dynamic responses during a set of ground motions. A numerical example is presented to compare the proposed approach with the conventional static response-based approach.

Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) treatment of nervous tissue has been proposed as a less neurodestructive technique alternative to continuous RF heat lesioning. Recently, clinical reports using PRF have shown favorable effects in the treatment of a variety of focal pain areas, even in non-nervous tissues; however, the mechanism of effect underlying this treatment to non-nervous tissue remains unclear. We report the case of a 67-year-old male who presented with pain reliving point in the posterior neck. The patient had pain in the posterior neck for 3 years. The pain subsided with pressure applied to a point in the posterior neck. There were no specific abnormal findings on laboratory testing and radiologic examinations. After PRF treatment to the pain-relieving point, he had pain relief which lasted more than 5 months.

The Fly-By-Wire(FBW) flight control system is essential to improve the stability and flying quality of the helicopter. Advanced aerospace companies, such as Bell-Sikorsky (USA) and NHI (European Consortium), have already applied the FBW flight control system to manufacture V-22 and NH-90 helicopters, respectively. This paper addresses the development of control law design using model inversion method improve the hover and low speed handling qualities of helicopter based on BO-105 model in 'Day' and 'Degraded visual environments(DVEs)' in accordance with ADS-33E-PRF. Design parameters are optimized to satisfy the handling qualities specification using Control Designer's Unified Interface (CONDUIT) commercial control law software. The result of the analysis based on CONDUIT and non-real time simulation in-house software, HETLAS (HElicopter Trim Linearization And Simulation) reveals that the provides an efficient mean to achieve Level 1 handling qualities.

The genome sequences of two novel monopartite RNA viruses were identified in a common eelgrass (Zostera marina) transcriptome dataset. Sequence comparison and phylogenetic analyses revealed that these two novel viruses belong to the genus Amalgavirus in the family Amalgaviridae. They were named Zostera marina amalgavirus 1 (ZmAV1) and Zostera marina amalgavirus 2 (ZmAV2). Genomes of both ZmAV1 and ZmAV2 contain two overlapping open reading frames (ORFs). ORF1 encodes a putative replication factory matrix-like protein, while ORF2 encodes a RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) domain. The fusion protein (ORF1+2) of ORF1 and ORF2, which mediates RNA replication, was produced using the +1 programmed ribosomal frameshifting (PRF) mechanism. The +1 PRF motif sequence, UUU_CGN, which is highly conserved among known amalgaviruses, was also found in ZmAV1 and ZmAV2. Multiple sequence alignment of the ORF1+2 fusion proteins from 24 amalgaviruses revealed that +1 PRF occurred only at three different positions within the 13-amino acid-long segment, which was surrounded by highly conserved regions on both sides. This suggested that the +1 PRF may be constrained by the structure of fusion proteins. Genome sequences of ZmAV1 and ZmAV2, which are the first viruses to be identified in common eelgrass, will serve as useful resources for studying evolution and diversity of amalgaviruses.

Recently several studies have been developed not only to apply bone materials to bony defect, but also to use osteogenic and osteoinductive materials to form bone more effectively. In 1998 Mark et al applied gel formation of PRP(platelet-rich plasma) in bony transplantation for mandibular reconstruction as one of the method of stimulating bone formation in maxillofacial area, which is contain of varies growth factors. After he reported that PRP accelerate bone formation, which is used in varies bone transplantation and augmentation with a good result. Especially there are amount of growth factors in PRP, and PRP increase angiogenesis, cell division, and mesenchymal cell growth. Moreover it is capable of osteoconduction, hemostatitis, anti-infection, forming the shape at transplantation, ease of handling, and recipient site stability. So it is known that success rate is high in bone transplantation. However PRP need tissue adhesive to make plasma to solid form. Thrombin and calcium chloride, component of PRP, is extracted from autogenic donor. So it is expensive to extract and there is possibility of hepatitis, AIDS, and hematogenous metastasis. After all, tissue adhesive have the limitation and danger of use. So we are willing to introduce that we had get some idea after using PRF(platelet-rich fibrin) in the various hard and soft tissue bony defect, which is self extracted simply and contain growth factors.

Flow phantom with stenosis was manufactured using an auto-injector to obtain angiostenotic flow information and quality assurance (QA) for ultrasound diagnostic instrumentation. Effectiveness of manufactured flow phantom with stenosis was investigated with power Doppler that was known to have diagnostic efficiency for angiostenosis. The flow phantom with stenosis was manufactured to 70% stenosis with 8 mm and 2.4 mm silicon tube, and silicone tube was covered with gelatin that has acoustic characteristics similar to soft tissue. When the linear transducer was used for measurement, the estimated diameter of normal vessel was measured lower than that of normal value, and the estimated diameter of stenosed vessel was measured higher than that of normal value. The measured parameters were not affected except for the radical conditions such as gain of 60%, PRF of 3000 Hz, use of maximal filter or angle. In addition, when the convex transducer was used for measurement, measurement parameters were affected by gain, PRF, filter, and angle. Therefore it is expected that flow phantom with stenosis manufactured with an auto-injector will be utilized effectively for QA of angiostenotic diagnosis.

Objectives: Socket grafting is vital to prevent bone resorption after tooth extraction. Several techniques to prevent resorption have been described, and various bone graft substitutes have been developed and used with varying success. We conducted this pilot study to evaluate the performance of nanohydroxyapatite (nHA) derived from chicken eggshells in socket preservation. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective, single center, outcome assessor-blinded evaluation of 23 sockets (11 patients) grafted with nHA and covered with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) membrane as a barrier. Bone width and radiographic bone density were measured using digital radiographs at 1, 12, and 24 weeks post-procedure. Postoperative histomorphometric and micro-computed tomography (CT) evaluation were performed. The study protocol was approved by the Institutional Ethics Committee. Results: All patients had uneventful wound healing without graft material displacement or leaching despite partial exposure of the grafted socket. Tissue re-epithelialized with thick gingival biotype (>3 mm). Width of the bone was maintained and radiographic density increased significantly with a trabecular pattern (73.91% of sockets) within 12 weeks. Histomorphometric analysis showed 56.52% Grade 3 bone formation and micro-CT analysis revealed newly formed bone with interconnecting trabeculae. Conclusion: Use of a PRF membrane with nHA resulted in good bone regeneration in sockets. Use of a PRF membrane prevents periosteal-releasing incisions for primary closure, thereby facilitating the preservation of keratinized mucosa and gingival architecture. This technique, which uses eggshell-derived nHA and PRF membrane from the patient's own blood, is innovative and is free of disease transfer risks. nHA is a promising economic bone graft substitute for bone regeneration and reconstruction because of the abundant availability of eggshell waste as a raw material.

Preserving the pulp is important in the treatment of carious pulp exposure in young permanent teeth. Pulpotomy is a vital pulp therapy in which a portion of the coronal pulp tissue is surgically removed, and the remaining radicular tissue is covered with suitable material that protects the pulp from further injury and permits and promotes healing. It is important to develop biocompatible treatment directed at maintaining pulp vitality and increasing tooth longevity. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) has been referred to as a second-generation platelet concentrate. Two clinical cases in which PRF was applied as a medicament after pulpotomy of an immature permanent tooth are presented. After isolation, caries removal and pulpotomy with PRF was performed. A layer of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) was placed over the PRF, and the final restoration was performed. Postoperatively, the patient had no pain or discomfort, and follow-up radiographs revealed normal periodontal ligament space and trabecular bone pattern.
