An upper bound elemental technique (UBET) is applied to predict variations of neutral plane and optimal position of the initial billet for rib-wep shaped ring forging. In the analysis, the neutral plane position and velocity fields are determined by minimizing the total power consump- tion with respect to chosen parameters. The degree of die-cavity filling by initial billet-position and the variations of neutral plane by friction condition are investigated. Experiments have been carried out with pure plasticine billets at room temperature. The theoretical predictions of the forging load and the flow pattern are in good agrement with the experimental results.

This paper describes the optimization of the hexagonal array transducer using finite element method. The transducer consists of the disc type sensors. Three dimensional beam patterns of each element and the array transducer are analysed using the finite element code ATILA. Beam patterns were analyzed for the disc type transducer. To optimize beam patterns of the array transducer, Chebyshev polynomial weight is applied to each element. In case of applying optimized weight, a 30 degree width beam pattern is presented at 10kHz. This paper also includes the effect of rubber filling material instead of using the water inside the transducer array.

A 3-year-old castrated male Korean domestic short-haired cat (weighing 5.2 kg) was referred to the Kangwon National University Veterinary Teaching Hospital, with primary complaints of ascites, pleural effusion and respiratory distress. Diagnostic studies revealed marked chylous and hemorrhagic pleural effusion, cardiomegaly, restrictive filling pattern of transmitral flow and mitral annular tissue Doppler profiles and minimally thickened left ventricular free wall. Based on the echocardiographic findings, the case was tentatively diagnosed as restrictive cardiomyopathy. The case was treated with removal of pleural effusion and medical therapy including furosemide, enalapril, sildenafil, clopidogrel. This is the first case report of restrictive cardiomyopathy in Korea.

This study was designed to investigate the pulpal effects of the glass ionomer cement. (Lining cement, G-C Co. Japan) For this purpose, 10 cats were selected, and Class V cavities were prepared on canines of the cats. One experimental group was filled with glass ionomer cement and the other group was filled with zinc phosphate cement . (G-C Co, Japan) The animals of the experimental and control group were sacrificed at 1,2,3,4,6, weeks after the experiment. For comparison of reparative dentin formation pattern in direction of the pulpal and fractured lateral surface, each of them was observed with scanning electron microscope. The findings led to the following conclusions; 1. Reparative dentin of the glass ionomer cement and zinc phosphate cement filling groups were formed on the internal surface of dentin as the shape of hemispherical and spherical with a rough surface. 2. Some of reparative dentin of the glass ionomer cement filling group was started to form at 1 week after experiment, and at 6 weeks after experiment, it had been increased gradually in number and size. 3. Reparative dentin of zinc phosphate cement filling group was formed vigorously, however, gradually was decreased in number and size, and disappeared at 6 weeks after experiment. 4. During the formation of reparative dentin, peritubular dentins were indistinguishable. 5. The diameter of dentinal tubules of reparative dentin has been decreased, during the reparative dentin formed, and it became very irregularly at 6 weeks after experiment.

The purpose of this study is to understand characteristic of expression in Korean style fashion design and investigated Korean style fashion design's deployment and design idea method as well as its esthetic value. The photographs for the research were selected from fashion collections during S/S 2003-F/W 2007 by four specialists in the department of textile and then analyzed with 288 final data. The results were as followings. First, the characteristics of design expression in Korean style fashion design were formation by separating partial shape from the whole, formation by shape's separation and repetition, and connecting formation by combination and transformation of parts. In the case of color, they were direct expression, contrasting formative expression, and gradual changing expression. In the case of pattern, they were the methods of filling, filling & emptying, and partial filling. Second, the deployments of Korean style fashion design were adding modern elements to traditional things, combining traditional elements and modern things, and adding traditional elements to modern things. The third, Korean style fashion design's idea methods were weaving, snatching, adding, and changing. Fourth, it was shown that esthetic values of Korean style fashion design were the interactive organism by building organic relationship, the optimum expressing beauty with minimum elements, the palpitation having dynamics and rhythmical beauty.

In this paper, an experimental study of the rheological behavior of granular flow in a new type of storage silo is presented. The main characteristic of the new design is a hexagonal shape chosen with the objective of minimizing the stresses applied to the stored grains, and to reduce grain damage during the filling and emptying processes. Measurements of stress distribution and flow patterns are shown for a variety of granular materials. Because of the design of the silo, the granular material adopts its natural rest angle at all times eliminating collisional stresses and impacts between grains. A homogeneous, low friction flow is naturally achieved which provides a controlled stress distribution throughout the silo during filling and emptying. Secondary dynamic stresses, which are responsible for wall failure in conventional silos of the vertical type, are completely eliminated. A comparison between the two geometries is presented with data obtained for these silos and a number of granular materials. The discharge pattern inhibits powder formation in the silo and the filling system virtually eliminates unwanted material packing. Finally, notwithstanding the rheological advantages of this new design, the hexagonal cells that constitute the silo have many other advantages, such as the possible use of solar energy to control the humidity inside them. The cell type design allows for versatile storage capabilities and the elevation above the ground provides unlimited transportation facilities during emptying.

Objectives: This study was designed to evaluate the parameters of bonding performance to root dentin, including push-out bond strength and dentinal tubular biomineralization, of a hydraulic bioceramic root-end filling material premixed with dimethyl sulfoxide (Endocem MTA Premixed) in comparison to a conventional powder-liquid-type cement (ProRoot MTA). Materials and Methods: The root canal of a single-rooted premolar was filled with either ProRoot MTA or Endocem MTA Premixed (n = 15). A slice of dentin was obtained from each root. Using the sliced specimen, the push-out bond strength was measured, and the failure pattern was observed under a stereomicroscope. The apical segment was divided into halves; the split surface was observed under a scanning electron microscope, and intratubular biomineralization was examined by observing the precipitates formed in the dentinal tubule. Then, the chemical characteristics of the precipitates were evaluated with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopic (EDS) analysis. The data were analyzed using the Student's t-test followed by the Mann-Whitney U test (p < 0.05). Results: No significant difference was found between the 2 tested groups in push-out bond strength, and cohesive failure was the predominant failure type. In both groups, flake-shaped precipitates were observed along dentinal tubules. The EDS analysis indicated that the mass percentage of calcium and phosphorus in the precipitate was similar to that found in hydroxyapatite. Conclusions: Regarding bonding to root dentin, Endocem MTA Premixed may have potential for use as an acceptable root-end filling material.

In this study, the effects of chill layers occurred in shot sleeve on the molten metal filling were analyzed through computer simulation and the behavior of chill layers with temperature variation of shot sleeve set from 200 to $280^{\circ}C$ was also investigated. The simulation results showed the chill layers set in the in-gates during the injection process change the main filling direction and cause turbulent flow pattern, resulting in porosities inside the castings. The amount of chill layers with the increasing temperature of shot sleeve was considerably reduced. And particularly, at the setting temperature of $280^{\circ}C$ by heat control unit, the big reduction in chill layers, excellent trimmed surface and the highest densification were achieved, suggesting that as the optimal sleeve condition in diecasting, especially for the highly complex parts like valve body.

In this study, the fugitive emission characteristics of airborne volatile organic compounds from different source categories were evaluated with respect to the concentrations measured in the vicinity of the sources. A total of 22 different sources were investigated, including gasoline storage and filling stations, painting spray booth, laundry, printing officer, textile industries, and a number of environmental sanitary facilities such as landfill, wastewater treatment and incineration plants. The target VOCs included 83 individual compounds, which were determined by adsorption sampling and thermal desorption coupled with GC/MS analysis. Overall, the aliphatic compounds appeared to be the most abundant class of compounds in terms of their concentrations, followed by aromatic, and halogenated hydrocarbons. As a single compound, however, toluene was the most abundant one, explaining 11% of the total VOC concentrations as an average of all the dataset. Among source categories, petroleum associated sources such as gasoline storage/filling stations, and laundry factory were identified as the most significant sources of aliphatic hydrocarbons, while aromatic VOCs were dominantly emitted from the sources handling organic solvents, such as painting booth, printing offices, and textile dyeing processes. However. there was no apparent pattern in terms of the contributions of eath group to the total VOCs concentrations in environmental sanitary facilities. It was also found that the activated carbon adsorption tower installed for the VOC emission control in some facilities do not show any effective performances, which may result in the increased VOC levels in the ambient atmosphere.

Copper film, which is expected to be used as interconnection material for 1 giga DRAM integrated circuits was deposited on hole and trench patterns by Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition(MOCVD) method. After a reflow process, contact and L/S patterns were filled by copper and the characteristics of the Cu reflow process were investigated. When deposited Cu films were reflowed, grain growth and agglomeration of Cu have occurred in surfaces and inner parts of patterns as well as complete filling in patterns. Also Cu thin oxide layers were formed on the surface of Cu films reflowed in $O_2$ambient. Agglomeration and oxidation of Cu had bad influence on the electrical properties of Cu films especially, therefore, their removal and prevention were studied simultaneously. As a pattern size is decreased, preferential reflow takes place inside the patterns and this makes advantages in filling patterns of deep submicron size completely. With Cu reflow process, we could fill the patterns with the size of deep sub-micron and it is expected that Cu reflow process could meet the conditions of excellent interconnection for 1 giga DRAM device when it is combined with Cu MOCVD and CMP process.
