PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to investigate shade changes in fully- and pre-crystalized CAD-CAM lithium disilicate crowns after the required and additional firing processes. MATERIALS AND METHODS. One hundred and five crowns of shade A1 with high translucency were milled out of CAD-CAM lithium disilicate blocks and categorized as follows (n = 15): (1) restorations fabricated from Straumann n!ce with no additional sintering process; (2) restorations fabricated from Straumann n!ce with one additional sintering process; (3) restorations fabricated from Straumann n!ce with two additional sintering processes; (4) restorations fabricated from Amber Mill with one sintering process; (5) restorations fabricated from Amber Mill with two sintering processes; (6) restorations fabricated from IPS e.max CAD with one sintering process; (7) restorations fabricated from IPS e.max CAD with two sintering processes. All restorations were evaluated with a color imaging spectrophotometer. RESULTS. All restorations presented some color alteration from the original shade both after a single and after two firing processes. CONCLUSION. The required and additional sintering processes for restorations fabricated with chairside CAD-CAM lithium disilicate blocks cause an alteration of the original shade selected. Shade A1 high translucency restorations tend to change to a more yellowish B1 shade after a sintering process.

The manufacturing of metal bellows consists of the four main forming processes, deep-drawing, ironing, tube bulging and folding. Among these, the bulging and folding processes are critically important because the quality of metal bellows is greatly influenced by the forming conditions of these processes. In the present study, the finite element analysis technique is applied to the bulging and folding processes to obtain information about the design parameters of a metal bellows.

There are big differences in six sigma applications between manufacturing processes and transactional processes. This paper analyzes the differences between two areas by examining 18 six sigma case studies in Korean companies. To characterize six sigma cases, a step-by-step checklist is developed based on 12-step DMAIC methodology proposed by US six sigma academy. On the basis of those characterized data, the differences between two areas are analyzed. The most significant differences is that statistical tools are widely used in manufacturing processes, but qualitative tools are used in transactional processes during improvement phase.

We show that it is possible to associate diffusion processes to second order perturbations of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator L on the Wiener space of the form L = L + 1/2∑L$^2$(sub)ξ(sub)$\kappa$ where the ξ(sub)$\kappa$ are "tangent processes" (i.e., semimartingales with antisymmetric diffusion coefficients).

Workpiece materials may be relatively easy to machine by traditional methods but workpiece geometry also may be a constraint. Many shapes that are geometrically difficult to handle conventionally may be candidates for nontraditional processes. Nontraditional processes provide new opportunities for product design innovation and productivity improvements. Difficult-to-machine materials of geometric shapes difficult o produce with traditional equipment and tooling, may often be easily and cost effectively machined using nontraditional processes. Notraditional machining processes are relative newcomers o the manufacturing arena. Nontraditional chemical solutions, or even electrolytic current as the working medium rather than a conventional cutting tool or abrasive to remove or shape materials.

This paper introduces distributed processes- a new language concept for concurrent programming. It is proposed for real-time applications controlled by computer network with distributed storage. These processes communicate and syschronize by means of procedure calls and guarded regions. The paper gives several examples of distributed processes.

Transport phenomena paly an inmportant role in bulk crystal growth processes. During crystal growth, the control of the growth front and the dopant concentration is crucial to crystal quality. The growth feasibility in thus determined by the heat transfer controlling the interface convexity and by the mass transfer controlling the constitutional supercooling. Through numerical modeling, a thorough understanding of the growth processes is possible, which in turn is a key to process improvenment. In this paper, we will summarize some work dine in my laboratory, both numerical and experimental, to illustrate the importance of understanding the transport phenomena during crystal growth processes.

Construction industry recognizes the necessity to manage is business from viewpoint of processes, and consider developing, evaluating and improving standard processes as important managerial target. SW-CMM provides basic framework for this process management. However, appropriate tailoring and adjustment are essential for SW-CMM concept to be applied to construction business. SW-CMM makes construction manager understand the capability of business process, based on which the priority of process improvement is judged. The capability is prescribed by common features. This paper introduces the basic frame for diagnosing construction business processes with SW-CMM, and presents the case study of analysing processes focusing on communication management.

In this paper we are obtained new results for bivariate pro-cesses which help us to tell the dependent structure among hitting times of the processes. We are proposed both dependence properties and the-oretical results among the processes and certain kinds of dependence properties when we are imposed on processes are reflected as analo-gous properties of corresponding hitting times. Finlly we are given some examples to illustrate these concepts.
