The effects of root gap on welding residual stress and deformation are dealt with the multi-pass weldment with three kinds(0, 6, 30mm) of root gap by F.E.M common code, and then compared with experiment data. In this analysis, an 100% ramp heat input model was used to avoid numerical convergence problem due to an instantaneous increase in temperature near the fusion zone, and the effect of a moving arc in a two dimensional plane was also included. During the analysis, a small time increment was applied in a period with instantaneous temperature fluctuation while a large time increment was used in the rest period. The residual stress is distributed as symmetric types and maximum value is also equivalent when the weldment with 0mm and 6mm root gap is welded. In the case of 30mm root gap welding, the distribution of the residual stress extends over a wide range as asymmetric types due to the built-up weld, and most of the residual stress is biased in the side of a built-up weld part. In case of 0mm gap welding and 6mm gap welding, a little angular distortion occurs, but the level of deformation is small. When the weldment with 30mm root gap is welded, the angular deformation of the asymmetric types, however, occurs larger than the other specimens. The experimental and the analytic results show good coincidence and indicate that the welding residual stress and deformation distribution of 30 mm root gap specimen may be asymmetric and the amplitude is larger than those of root gap specimen under standard.

Objective : We investigated the clinical and radiological advantages of unilateral laminectomy in posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) procedure comparing with bilateral laminectomy, under the same procedural condition including bilateral instrumentation and insertion of two cages, in patients with degenerative lumbar disease with unilateral leg symptoms. Methods : We retrospectively reviewed 124 consecutive cases of PLIF via unilateral or bilateral approach between January 2006 and April 2010. In 80 cases (bilateral group), two cages were inserted via bilateral laminectomy, and in 44 cases (unilateral group), via unilateral laminectomy. The average follow-up duration was 29.5 months. The clinical outcomes were evaluated with the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the Oswestry disability index (ODI). The fusion rates and disc space heights were determined by dynamic standing radiographs and/or computed tomography. Operative times, intra-operative and post-operative blood losses and hospitalization periods were also evaluated. Results : In clinical evaluation, the VAS and ODI scores showed excellent outcomes in both groups. There were no significant differences in term of fusion rate, but the perioperative blood loss and the operative time of the unilateral group were lower than that of the bilateral group. Conclusion : Unilateral laminectomy can minimize the operative time and perioperative blood loss in PLIF procedure. However, the different preoperative disc height between two groups is a limitation of this study. Despite this limitation, solid fusion and satisfactory symptomatic improvement could be achieved uniquely by our surgical method. This surgical method can be an alternative surgical technique in patients with unilateral leg pain.

기동물체 추적을 위해서 GPS, INS, 레이더 및 광학장비 등의 다양한 위치추적 센서가 이용되고 있으며, 기동물체의 강인한 추적성능을 유지하기 위해 이기종 센서의 효과적인 융합방법이 필요하다. 이기종 다중센서를 이용한 추적성능 향상을 위해 센서의 서로 다른 오차특성을 고려하여 각 센서의 측정치를 상이한 모델로 간주하여 융합하는 연구가 수행되었지만, 한 센서의 오차가 급격히 증가하는 구간에서 다른 센서의 추정치에 대한 오차가 증가하고 각 센서의 측정값이 참 값일 확률인 Sensor Probability 값에 대해 센서 측정치 변화를 실시간으로 반영하지 못하였다. 본 논문에서는 각 센서 칼만필터의 갱신추정치와 측정치 간의 차이에 대한 RMSE(Root Mean Square Error)를 비교하여 Sensor Probability를 구하고, 결합추정치를 다시 각 센서 칼만필터 입력값으로 대입하는 과정을 제외하여 센서 측정치에 대한 실시간적인 반영과 센서 성능이 급격히 저하되는 구간에서의 추적성능을 개선한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 각 센서의 오차특성을 조건부 확률값으로 추가하여 각 센서의 Sensor Probability에 따라 가장 양호한 성능을 보이는 센서 위주로 트랙융합을 함으로써 강인성을 보장 한다. 실험을 통해 UAV의 기동 경로를 생성하고 제안 알고리즘을 적용하여 다른 융합 알고리즘과 성능분석을 실시한다.

In this study, the metallurgical analysis and mechanical property measurement have been performed to investigate the effect of long-term thermal aging on the microstructural evolution in the fusion boundary region between weld metal and low alloy steel in dissimilar metal welds. A representative dissimilar weld mock-up made of Alloy 690-Alloy 152-A533 Gr. B was fabricated and aged at $450^{\circ}C$ for 2,750 hours. The microstructural characterization was conducted mainly near in a weld root region by using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy. And the mechanical properties were measured with Vickers microhardness test and nanoindentation method. A steep gradient was shown in the chemical composition profile across the interface between A533 Gr. B and Alloy 152. Type-II boundaries were found in weld side of DMW and the hardness was the highest at the narrow zone between Type-II boundary and fusion boundary.

;A dental developmental anomaly is defined as an isolated aberration in tooth form, caused by a disturbance or abnormality which occurred during tooth development. There are numerous types of dental anomalies, and a considerable variation in the extent of the defects occurs with each type. Teeth with these anomalies pose unique challenges. Since the defects are not always apparent clinically, they can confuse diagnosticians investigating the etiology of pulpal pathosis. When endodontic treatment is required, the defects often hinder access cavity preparation and canal instrumentation. Treatment planning also becomes more challenging, since the defects can create complicated periodontal problems, and the malformed teeth can be difficult to restore, particularly those weakened by endodontic therapy. Fusion is defined as the joining of two developing tooth germs resulting in a single large tooth structure. The incidence of fusion is < 1% in the Caucasian population, and it is believed that physical force or pressure produces contact of the developing teeth. Clinically and radiographically, a fused tooth usually appears as one large crown with at least partially separated roots and root canals. There may be a vertical groove in the tooth crown delineating the originally separate crowns. Dens invaginatus is a deep surface invagination of the crown or root that is lined by enamel. Teeth in both maxillary and mandibular arches may be affected, but the permanent maxillary lateral incisor is the tooth most commonly involved. Studies have revealed an incidence ranging from 0.25% to as high as 10%. The invagination ranges from a slight pitting to an anomaly occupying most of the crown and root. The invagination frequently communicates with the oral cavity, allowing the entry of irritants and microorganism either directly into pulpal tissues or into an area that is deparated from pulpal tissues by only a thin layer of enamel and dentin. This continuous ingress of irritants and the subsequent inflammation usually lead to necrosis of the adjacent pulp tissue and then to periapical or periodontal abscesses. If the invagination extends from the crown to the periradicular tissue and has no communication with the root canal system, the pulp may remain vital. Recommended treatment of fused tooth and dens invaginatus has been reported in the endodontic literature. This case report describes the endodontic treatment of a maxillary laterl incisors having fused crown and dens invaginatus.natus.

본 연구에서는 무인항공기 영상 기반의 정밀농업(precision agricultural) 구현에 있어 핵심 데이터 중 하나인 수치표고모델의 표고를 보정하기 위한 수치표고모델 표고 보정 방법론을 제시한다. 먼저 정사영상에 방사보정을 수행한 다음 ExG (Excess Green)를 생성한다. ExG에 Otsu 기법을 적용하여 산출된 임계값을 기준으로 비식생지역을 추출한다. 이어서, 비식생지역의 위치에 대응되는 수치표고모델의 표고를 표고 보정을 위한 데이터인 EIFs(Elevation Invariant Features)로 추출한다. 추출된 EIFs 간 차이값을 기반으로 정규화된 Z-score를 산출하여 포함된 특이치를 제거한다. 그리고 선형회귀식을 구성하여 수치표고모델의 표고를 보정함으로써 지상기준점 데이터 없이 고품질의 수치표고모델을 제작한다. 총 10장의 수치표고모델을 활용하여 제안기법을 검증하기 위해 표고 보정 전과 후의 최대/최소값, 평균/표준편차를 비교분석하였다. 또한, 검사점을 선정하여 RMSE (Root Mean Square Error)를 산출한 결과, 정확도는 평균 RMSE 0.35m로 도출되었다. 이를 통해 지상기준점 데이터 없이 고품질의 수치표고모델을 제작할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Background: Glycosylation of natural compounds increases the diversity of secondary metabolites. Glycosylation steps are implicated not only in plant growth and development, but also in plant defense responses. Although the activities of uridine-dependent glycosyltransferases (UGTs) have long been recognized, and genes encoding them in several higher plants have been identified, the specific functions of UGTs in planta remain largely unknown. Methods: Spatial and temporal patterns of gene expression were analyzed by quantitative reverse transcription (qRT)-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and GUS histochemical assay. In planta transformation in heterologous Arabidopsis was generated by floral dipping using Agrobacterium tumefaciens (C58C1). Protein localization was analyzed by confocal microscopy via fluorescent protein tagging. Results: PgUGT72AL1 was highly expressed in the rhizome, upper root, and youngest leaf compared with the other organs. GUS staining of the promoter: GUS fusion revealed high expression in different organs, including axillary leaf branch. Overexpression of PgUGT72AL1 resulted in a fused organ in the axillary leaf branch. Conclusion: PgUGT72AL1, which is phylogenetically close to PgUGT71A27, is involved in the production of ginsenoside compound K. Considering that compound K is not reported in raw ginseng material, further characterization of this gene may shed light on the biological function of ginsenosides in ginseng plant growth and development. The organ fusion phenotype could be caused by the defective growth of cells in the boundary region, commonly regulated by phytohormones such as auxins or brassinosteroids, and requires further analysis.

Seasonal forecasting has numerous socioeconomic benefits because it can be used for disaster mitigation. Therefore, it is necessary to diagnose and improve the seasonal forecast model. Moreover, the model performance is partly related to the ocean model. This study evaluated the hindcast performance in the upper ocean of the Global Seasonal Forecasting System version 5-Global Couple Configuration 2 (GloSea5-GC2) using a multivariable integrated evaluation method. The normalized potential temperature, salinity, zonal and meridional currents, and sea surface height anomalies were evaluated. Model performance was affected by the target month and was found to be better in the Pacific than in the Atlantic. An increase in lead time led to a decrease in overall model performance, along with decreases in interannual variability, pattern similarity, and root mean square vector deviation. Improving the performance for ocean currents is a more critical than enhancing the performance for other evaluated variables. The tropical Pacific showed the best accuracy in the surface layer, but a spring predictability barrier was present. At the depth of 301 m, the north Pacific and tropical Atlantic exhibited the best and worst accuracies, respectively. These findings provide fundamental evidence for the ocean forecasting performance of GloSea5.
