Background: To compare pain perception during palatal injection administration in children aged 7-9 years while using pre-cooling of the injection site versus application of topical anesthesia as a pre-injection anesthetic during the six months. Method: A prospective randomized split-mouth crossover trial was conducted among 30 children aged 7-9 years, who received topical application of either a pencil of ice (test group) or 5% lignocaine gel (control group) for 2 min before injection. The primary and secondary outcome measures were pain perception and child satisfaction, measured by the composite pain score and the faces rating scale, respectively. Unpaired t-test was performed to determine significant differences between groups. Results: The test group had significantly lower pain scores for self-report and behavioral measures (P < 0.0001). The changes in physiological parameters at the baseline (P = 0.74) during (P = 0.37) and after (P = 0.88) the injection prick were not statistically significant. Children felt better by the pre-cooling method (P < 0.0001). Conclusion: Ice application using a pencil of ice for 2 min reduced pain perception significantly compared to the use of a topical anesthetic. Moreover, ice application was preferred by children.

A split-die design for the cold forging of symmetric parts such as those having a hexagonal cross-section is presented in this paper. Parts with a hexagonal cross-section, such as bolt heads and nuts, should be forged with a die that has a hexagonal-shaped hole. A split type die is required to mitigate the buildup of stress concentrations located at the corners of the hexagonal hole. Generally, the insert of a hexagonal die is made by cutting each corner of a cylinder using a hexagonal hole and then combined with the die and shrink-fitted. However, split dies face problems when extruding material at the corners of the hexagonal split die. To address this problem, two types of split dies were evaluated: rounded hexagonal dies and angular hexagonal dies. The effects of the pre-stress ring on the dies were compared and analyzed and results show that using the angular split hexagonal die can extend the lifetime of forging dies.

The major objective of this study is to investigate the dynamic behavior evaluation of split PC sleepers for railway turnout by the field test. In railway engineering, a turnout is necessary to allow a vehicle to move from one track to another. So, turnout is required very complex railway technologies such as lolling stock, track. In reference to conventional line speed-up and improvement railway, accurate assembly of turnout affects travel ins qualify of turnout area and running safety. Because of heavy weight and a large volume of the long sleeper used to turnout and car limit, transport and the prerequisite for trouble-free transport of the factory pre-assembled major turnout components is achieved through division of long sleepers. The one of the advantages for using a split sleeper is to reduce the dynamic vibration according to the information of developed nations. Therefore, we investigate the characteristic of dynamic behaviors of split sleepers which are adopted for the first time to improve performance of turnout From the field test results of the split sleeper, it is evaluated that the modification of weight, material and stiffness compared with wood sleeper is very effective for the ballast safety. However, the decrease in vibration of split sleeper was not found out.

Introduction. In patients with mandibular prognathism, Bilateral Sagittal Split Ramus Osteotomy(BSSRO) combined with orthodontic treatment reduces oral volume and influences tongue and other surrounding tissues. Purpose of this study was to analyze post-operative tongue position and airway dimension, as well as mandibular changes in vertical, horizontal, and angular dimensions. Materials and methods. Height of dorsum of tongue, width of airway, gonial angle and lower facial height of mandibular prognathic patients who visited Kangdong Sacred Heart Hospital from Jan. 2001 to Dec. 2006 were anaylzed via pre-operative and post-operative cephalograms. T-test was used to compare pre-operative and post-operative measurements. Also, correlations among pre-operative measurements of the patients were analyzed. Results and conclusion. A significant correlation was shown between ANS-Xi-PM area and location of dorsum of tongue in pre-operative patients. A significant superior movement of tongue and decrease of airway width was observed in post-operative patients. Also the upper gonial angle decreased significantly.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the partial split-flap technique with a K-incision on vertical guided bone regeneration (vGBR) and to retrospectively analyze the clinical and radiographic outcomes of dental implantation using this approach. Methods: In total, 78 patients who received 104 dental implants with vGBR, categorized as (1) pre-GBR and post-implantation and (2) simultaneous GBR and implantation, were enrolled. Data analysis was based on periapical radiographs, clinical photos, and dental records. The 2-sample t-test was used to compare the 2 surgical procedures. Results: The baseline vertical bone level, augmented bone height (ABH), and treatment duration were significantly higher in the pre-GBR procedure group. The survival rates of the implants were 96.1% and 94.8% in implant- and patient-based analyses, respectively. In Cox regression analysis, high rates of implant failure were found in the presence of ABH of ≥4 mm, smoking, and diabetes. Conclusions: Within the limitations of this retrospective study, the partial split-flap technique using a K-incision for vGBR showed stable clinical outcomes and favorable dental implant survival.

Long term prediction of surgical result of skeletal class III has not been evaluated adequately because the stability of orthognathic surgery would be affected by not only set back amount of mandible but also many other factors like skeletal pattern, hyoid position, and airway size. The aimof this study is to discriminate the factors which affect the stability of post-treatment result of surgical outcome of sagittal split ramus osteotomy. We have collected 37 patients (male: 17, female: 20) from patients who have been treated at Orthodontic Department in Dankook University. The patients underwent 3 times Cephalometric X-ray taking at pre-, post-orthognathic surgery and after 12 months retention. The subjects were divided into 2 groups (Stable group: 21, Relapse group: 16) according to their relapse amount. We have taken following results from Students t-test and discriminant analysis. The discriminant factors which discern relapse and stable groupe among treatment change variables were BX and Ba-HY. Hyoid bone moved to posterior and inferior position due to surgery and repositioned superiorly and posteriorly during retention period. Skeletal patterns of the relapse group are smaller mandibular plane angle, anterior mandibular position, and greater distance from hyoid bone to cervical bone and mandible respectively.

In this work, we studied the characteristics of nitride films for the optimization of PMD(pro-metal dielectric) linear process, which can be applied to the recent semiconductor manufacturing process. We split the deposit condition of nitride films into four parts such as PO(protect overcoat) nitride, baseline, low hydrogen and high stress and low hydrogen, respectively. We tried to find out correlation between BPSG deposition and densification. In order to analyze the changes of Si-H and Si-NH-Si bonding density, we used FTIR area method. We also investigated the crack generation on wafer edge after BPSG densification, and the changes of nitride film stress as a function of RF power variation to judge whether the deposited films.

Recently, several main-memory index structures have been proposed to reduce the impact of secondary cache misses. In mainmemory storage systems, secondary cache misses have a substantial effect on the performance of index structures. However, recent studies still stiffer from secondary cache misses when visiting each level of index tree. In this paper, we propose a new index structure that minimizes the total amount of cache miss latency. The proposed index structure prefetched grandchildren of a current node. The basic structure of the proposed index structure is based on that of the CSB+-Tree, which uses the concept of a node group to increase fan-out. However, the insert algorithm of the proposed index structure significantly reduces the cost of a split. The superiority of our algorithm is shown through performance evaluation.
