This paper suggests the mathematical method for the estimation of the required engine output for WIG crafts. The engine size of a WIG craft Is a key parameter in the design stage, because WIGs should overcome the hump drag during the take-off. Therefore, it is very important for a WIG designer to estimate required power and state change during take-off. The mathematical method was developed based on the steady planing state model of a planing boat. Through numerical calculations on various take-off states, it was found that the suggested method could give reasonable estimation of required power and state change during take-off.

In this paper, we focus on planing avoidance control for a supercavitating underwater vehicle based on the potential function method. The planing margin can be calculated using the relative position between the cavity center and vehicle center at the end of the vehicle. The planing margin was transformed into a limit variable such as the pitch angle and yaw angle limit. To prevent the vehicle attitude from exceeding the limit variable, a potential function based planing envelope protection method was proposed. The planing envelope protection system overrides commands from the tracking controller, and the vehicle attitude converges to a desired angle, in which the potential function is minimized. Numerical simulations were performed to analyze the physical feasibility and performance of the proposed method. The results showed that the proposed methods eliminated the planing, allowing the vehicle to follow tracking commands.

This study investigated the sea trial performance of a wave piercing high speed planing hull (WPH). The bow shape of the boat is sharp, and it has no chine or spray strip like a normal planing boat. The skeg is attached to the bottom of the boat in the longitudinal direction from the bow to the stern. The speed performance was analyzed as the speed dropped in a wave, and the seakeeping performance was compared with that of a planing boat with a similar velocity coefficient by measuring the vertical acceleration of the bow in the wave. The turning circle was compared with Lewandowski's estimation for a planing boat. As a result of this study, it was confirmed that the velocity drop of the developed WPH was not large in a wave, and the vertical acceleration was greatly reduced compared with that of a normal planing boat. The turning circle was somewhat larger than the estimated results for a planing boat, but the overall tendency was the same.

The recent adoption of Bluetooth LE technology in smart phones triggered commercial interest in RSSI-based positioning technology. Estimation error in RSSI measurement due to the antenna pattern, multipath fading, environmental noise has to be considered for designing beacon systems. The paper proposes an analysis method and beacon planning rules for a small and isolated indoor service area, based on probabilistic model of RSSI estimation error. As an practically important guide, the beacons have to be installed at the boundary of the service area to minimize the maximum position error, whereas the beacons have to be evenly distributed in the service space to minimize the average estimation error.

The supply and demand planning the pediatric dentists is earnest, because of the start of the dental specialist system on 2008 and aging society with low fertility. Therefore in order to develop the model, that is adequate to estimate demand for the pediatric dentists, a studies on the supply and demand planing of other health manpower were reviewed. The obtained results were as follows : 1. The health demand method was appropriate for demand estimation of the pediatric dentists. 2. There was independent variables needed for demand estimation model: prevalence, utilization rate, referral rate, fertility rate, productivity, annual working days, and so on. 3. Since statistical data for application of these variables was insufficient as result of searching, questionnaire researching and discussion of specialist may be necessary. 4. Each independent variables should be inducted into an equation by using a adequate regression model and then estimated.

This systematic review aimed to investigate the effects of periodontal treatment on glycated hemoglobin A (HbA1c) levels in patients with type 2 diabetes who develop periodontal disease. The search of the MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library databases was completed on April 8, 2018. The study design was based on randomized clinical trials. Scaling and root planing was performed for the test group, whereas no periodontal treatment or simple oral training was performed for the control group. The main outcome variable was the change in HbA1c levels. We used the Review Manager statistical analysis software for the quantitative analysis of selected documents. Meta-analysis was performed using the inverse variance estimation method of the fixed-effect model to estimate the effects of periodontal treatment on HbA1c levels in patients with type 2 diabetes. A total of 1,011 documents were searched using search strategies, and 10 documents were included in the meta-analysis. The meta-analysis of the selected literature showed that periodontal treatment significantly reduced the HbA1c levels in patients with type 2 diabetes who develop periodontal disease (mean difference, -0.34; 95% confidence interval, -0.43 to -0.26; p<0.001). This study aimed to investigate the effects of periodontal treatment on HbA1c levels, which can be used as a basis for the increasing management of diabetic complications. To improve the quality of life and reduce the burden of medical expenses for patients with diabetes, periodontal disease management through nonsurgical periodontal treatment, such as scaling and root planing, is necessary.
