Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children is a frequent disease for which optimal diagnostic methods are still being defined. Treatment of OSA in children should include providing space, improving craniofacial growth, resolving all symptoms, and preventing the development of the disease in the adult years. Adenotonsillectomy (T&A) has been the treatment of choice and thought to solve young patient's OSA problem, which is not the case for most adults. Recent reports showed success rates that vary from 27.2% to 82.9%. Children snoring regularly generally have a narrow maxilla compared to children who do not snore. The impairment of nasal breathing with increased nasal resistance has a well-documented negative impact on early childhood maxilla-mandibular development, making the upper airway smaller and might lead to adult OSA. Surgery in young children should be performed as early as possible to prevent the resulting morphologic changes and neurobehavioral, cardiovascular, endocrine, and metabolic complications. Close postoperative follow-up to monitor for residual disease is equally important. As the proportion of obese children has been increasing recently, parents should be informed about the weight gain after T&A. Multidisciplinary evaluation of the anatomic abnormalities in children with OSA leads to better overall treatment outcome.

Weathering is the breaking/cutting down process of rocks due to physical and chemical processes in natural as well as artificial environment including $CO_2$ injection for storage in the sediment, or natural resource recovery process. This study suggests an alternative method to estimate the degree of weathering for granites. A series of laboratory and field experiments are performed to measure electrical resistivities on various rock samples experienced different degrees of weathering and their residual soils under different saturation conditions. It is found that the normalized electrical resistivity increases with a decrease in water absorption and the saturation. Simple boundaries are suggested to identify the weathering degree of granites, based on limited data. Field test results for three sites confirm that the suggested method could be estimated well the degree of weathering of granites compared with the other methods suggested previously. Although further research is required, this study suggests that an electrical resistivity could be an effective approach to estimate the degree of weathering of granites compared with the other methods suggested previously.

In this study, an aging deformation statistical model for a unique high and steep rock slope was proposed, and the aging characteristic of the slope deformation was better reflected. The slope displacement was affected by multiple-environmental factors in multiple scales and displayed the same tendency with a rising water level. The statistical model of the high and steep rock including non-aging factors was set up based on previous analyses and the study of the deformation and residual tendency. The rule and importance of the water level factor as a non-aging unit was analyzed. A partitioned statistical model and mutation model were established for the comprehensive cumulative displacement velocity with the monitoring study under multiple factors and multiple parameters. A spatial model was also developed to reflect and predict the whole and sectional deformation character by combining aging, deformation and space coordinates. A neural network model was built to fit and predict the deformation with a high degree of precision by mastering its feature of complexity and randomness. A three-dimensional finite element model of the slope was applied to approach the structure character using numerical simulations. Further, a three-dimensional finite element model of the slope and dam was developed, and the whole deformation state was analyzed. This study is expected to provide a powerful and systematic method to analyze very high, important and dangerous slopes.

연구지역은 고속도로 신설구간에 형성된 대절토 무한사면으로 불연속면을 따라 사면파괴활동이 시작되었다. 보강은 락앵커 공법을 시공하여 상부구간 안정화를 시도하였다. 그러나 앵커보강 하부구간에 대규모 붕괴가 추가 발생하였고 이후 2차례 더 진행되었다. 붕괴원인을 분석하기 위하여 시료를 채취하고 직접전단시험을 실시하여 잔류전단강도를 확인하였다. 그리고 붕괴지반의 앵커력 확보를 화인하기 위하여 앵커인발시험을 실시하고 앵커설계에 반영하였다. 앵커는 붕괴면의 굴곡이 심하고 연경의 변화가 심한 지반상태를 고려하여 계단식 옹벽과 조합하여 앵커력을 확보하도록 하였다.

NATM 터널의 콘크리트라이닝은 계획, 지반조사, 지반-라이닝 상호작용해석, 시공, 관찰, 시공중 수정 등의 과정을 거쳐 시공된다. 따라서, 설계자는 라이닝의 여러 기능, 시공과정, 지반조건 등을 고려하여야 한다. NATM 터널 콘크리트라이닝 설계시 지반조건이 열악하거나 숏크리트의 부식 등으로 1차 지보재가 지보능력을 상실할 경우에 대비하여야 한다. 그러나, 암반이완하중과 잔류수압의 크기, 형태 및 산정방법이 설계자에 따라 다양하게 적용되고 있는것이 현실이다. 본 논문에서는 NATM 터널 콘크리트라이닝 설계시 적용할 수 있는 암반이완하중 산정 법들에 대하여 고찰하고, 설계시 국내에서 주로 적용하는 다양한 암반하중과 잔류수압모델을 조합하여 구조해석을 실시한 후 콘크리트라이닝에 발생 하는 부재력의 크기를 비교하였으며, 적절한 하중조합을 제시하였다.

결정입자 크기와 광물구성 분포가 른 포천화강암, 거창화강암, 상주화강암을 실험 대상으로 선택하여 $600^{\circ}C$까지 예열처리하였다. 예열에 따른 열균열의 발생 정도를 조사하기 위하여 연마편에 대한 반사현미경 관찰을 실시하였으며, 예열시험편의 변형거동에 열균열이 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여 단축압축시험을 수행하였다. 현미경 관찰 결과에 의하면 암종에 관계없이 $600^{\circ}C$예열시험편의 결정 경계부에서는 대부분 경계균열이 발생하였으며, 많은 결정입자에서 입자 내 균열고 관찰되었다. 특히, 입자 내 균열은 거창화강암과 포천화강암에서 현저히 많은 것으로 나타났다. 예열시험편에 대한 단축압축시험 결과 일정한 응력수준까지 음의 횡변형율이 발생하는 비정상적인 변형거동이 나타났으며 이로 인해 음의 포아송비기 발생하였다. 음의 횡변형율은 예열시험편의 냉각과정동안 결정입자의 유발된 잔류응력에 의해 발생하는 것으로 생각된다.

Most orbital surgeons believe that it's difficult to restore the primary orbital wall to its previous position and that the orbital wall is so thin that cannot be firmly its primary position. Therefore, orbital wall fractures generally have been reconstructed by replacing the bony defect with a synthetic implant. Although synthetic implants have sufficient strength to maintain their shape and position in the orbital cavity, replacement surgery has some drawbacks due to the residual permanent implants. In previous studies, the author has reported an orbital wall restoring technique in which the primary orbital wall fragment was restored to its prior position through a combination of the transorbital and transantral approaches. Simple straight and curved elevators were introduced transnasally to restore the orbital wall and to maintain temporary extraorbital support in the maxillary and ethmoid sinus. A transconjunctival approach provided sufficient space for implant insertion, while the transnasal approach enabled restoration of the herniated soft tissue back into the orbit. Fracture defect was reduced by restoring the primary orbital wall fragment to its primary position, making it possible to use relatively small size implant, furthermore, extraorbital support from both sinuses decreased the incidence of implant displacement. The author could recreate a natural shape of the orbit with the patient's own orbital bone fragments with this dual approach and effectively restored the orbital volume and shape. This procedure has the advantages for retrieving the orbital contents and restoring the primary orbital wall to its prior position.

본 연구는 전자현미경적인 방법을 이용하여 흰쥐 기관지와 폐조직에 미치는 간접흡연의 영향을 조사하였다. 실험동물은 1일 3회씩 매회 15분간, 4주 동안 비주류 담배연기를 흡입하도록 하였다. 간접흡연 그룹의 폐조직에서는 세포질내에 다수의 용해소체을 함유하고 있는 중성구, 그리고 다양한 크기의 용해소체와 잔사체를 함유하는 대식 세포가 관찰되었다. 또한 폐포격벽은 팽대되었으며 섬유화현상이 나타났다. 기관지상피는 섬모상피세포가 점차 소실되었고, 분비세포 또는 배상세포들은 그 수가 증가하였으며, 섬모가 소실되고 표면적이 확장된 배상세포도 관찰되었다. 본 연구결과 이러한 미세구조의 변화는 간접흡연에 의한 세포상해의 전형적인 결과로 파악된다.

Bus manufacturers have tested and studied the dynamic collapse behavior of a bus body structure in rollover since UN ECE established ECE Regulation 66 to provide the requirement for the strength of bus structure. In spite of the costly cycles of practical tests, however, it is still a hard task to meet the rollover regulation by means of local reinforcements in the bus structure. Therefore it is necessary to develop a well designed strategy for the rollover strength implemented in the early stage of vehicle development. In this study, the suitable development method for each design stage from a component to complete body structure was considered to make a well-established development process of a bus body structure for rollover safety. For the efficient approach of the concept design stage, a numerical model based on the plastic hinge theory was used instead of detailed shell models. After setting up the concept design for the component size and geometry, the shell model was used to confirm and optimize the whole structure composition. The process developed in this study was practically used as an effective method to predict the rollover behavior of a new bus body structure.

암석파괴역학과 파괴인성(rock fracture toughness) 이하의 응력확대계수(stress intensity factor)에서 균열이 성장하는 현상을 이용하여 암석 절리면의 비선형 강도특성과, 시간의 경과에 따라 파괴가 진행되는 특성을 고려한 수치해석용 3차원 절리면 요소를 개발하였다. 이 절리면 요소를 사용하여 암석 절리면 전단시험을 수치해석으로 모사한 결과, 전단응력이 증가하고 시간이 경과함에 따라 절리면 사이에 연결된 절리면 내 접점(asperity in joint)에서 암석의 파괴인성보다 응력확대계수가 작음에도 불구하고 균열이 발생하였고 시간이 경과하면서 균열이 성장, 절리면 내 접점이 파괴되었다. 이와 같이 각각의 절리면 내 접점의 파괴에 따라 절리면의 강도는 감소하고, 절리면의 전단응력은 응력경화와 응력연화 후 잔류응력에 도달하는 비선형거동을 보이면서 시간의 경과에 따라 점진적으로 파괴되었다.
