Skeletal class III malocclusion with aterior deep bite is difficult to manage properly, especially in case of mild mandibular prognathism. We have designed lower anterior segmental osteotomy for improving the lower third of the facial contour. Considerable improvement of esthetic facial contour with correction of cross bite in anterior incisors was observed in patients with mandibular prognathism.

This case describes a tracheal stenosis complicated by endobronchial truberculosis. A 50-year-old female with progressive dyspnea was referred to us for the management of long segmental tracheal stenosis. Treatment modalities for tracheal stenosis include open surgical resectin and reconstruction, mechanical dilation, laser resection, and placement of an airway prosthesis. The following is a report of a successful treatment of a long segmental tracheal stenosis through a tracheal augmentation and the use of al Bovine pericardium. This technique may provide a relief from tracheal stenosis.

In speech signal processing, it is necessary to estimate exactly the pitch. We propose a new algorithm which uses the correlation coefficient between the original and the repeated segmental waveform in the frame as a parameter in the pitch extraction. The correlation coefficient in the frame reflects the periodic component and the transient ratio of the waveform.

One of the main objectives of this study is to propose a realistic limit state model for reliability-based safety assessment of precast segmental prestressed concrete box girder bridges, considering 1) combined effects of bending, shear and torsional forces, and 2) the difference between transverse reinforcments of box girder. A improved limit state model is derived from a modified interaction equation compared with the Bruno's equation. A Drectional sampling algorithm is used for reliability analysis of the proposed model.

Precast Segmental method was developed in germany 1950's. This method has been adoptted in long span girder mainly owing to easy construction effect. But, so far, The limit exists that this method is constructed in a portion of span and hard conveyance and foundation. This study was performed to analysis behavior difference of two rectangular section girder, spliced girder that was jointed 5-sliced 0.8m segment and monolithic girder that was produced in one body 4m span.

본 논문에서는 분절 특징을 모수적 궤적 모델을 이용하여 표현하고, 이 특징을 분절 HMM(segmental HMM)의 입력으로 하는 음성 신호의 모델링 방식을 제안한다. 분절 특징은 음성의 경향을 나타내는 궤적으로 표현되고, 그 궤적은 연속되는 프레임 상에서 전이 정보를 포함하도록 디자인 행렬과 다항식의 회귀 함수를 이용하여 구해진다. 이 궤적을 분절 HMM에 적용하기 위하여, 외적 분절 변이와 내적 분절 변이에 대한 확률 분포 표현을 개선하였다. 제안된 방법의 효과를 살펴보기 위하여 TIMIT 데이터 베이스를 이용하여 실험한 결과, 제안된 분절 특징은 음성 신호의 인접한 프레임간의 상관관계를 표현하는 동적 특징과 같은 효과를 보였으며, 1차 미분계수를 포함하여 분절 특징을 구한 경우에는 기존의 특징 표현보다 좋은 성능을 보였다.

Foreign Accent syndrome refers to segmental and suprasegmental changes of speech characteristics following brain lesion which is perceived by listeners as a foreign accent. Change in dialect after a stroke, however, have rarely been reported. We describe a patient who showed prominent change of accent from one to another Korean dialect and discuss about the alteration of prosodic patterns and the changes in segmental level of speech.

Purpose: Mid and lower facial convexity is more common in Oriental people than in Caucasian. Bimaxillary dentoalveolar protrusion is characterized by procumbent teeth, protruding lips, acute nasolabial angle, gummy smile, receding chin, facial convexity. Especially, pure maxillary dentoalveolar protrusion is less frequent than bimaxillary dentoalveolar protrusion. Therefore, it is important to make an accurate decision for the operation throughout the history taking, cephalogram, dental cast to arrive at accurate diagnosis and surgical plan. Methods: From December 2002 to June 2004, ten patients with maxillary dentoalveolar protrusion and microgenia were corrected by maxillary anterior segmental osteotomy and advancement genioplasty. 10 patients were analyzed by preoperative and postoperative clinical photography, posteroanterior and lateral cephalograms. Results: No major complications were occurred throughout the follow-up period except one of the over-recessed, otherwise most of the patients were satisfied with the result. Conclusion: We could correct the occulusal relationship with teeth and improve lower facial profile, asthetically and functionally, by maxillary anterior segmental osteotomy and advancement genioplasty.

Purpose : To evaluate the stability of the segmental occlusal plane and anatomical line as the reference line for measuring the mesiodistal tooth angulation in panoramic radiography and to determine the mean angle and the range of the mesiodistal tooth angulation in Korean population with normal occlusions. Materials and Methods : Twenty nine subjects (15 men, 14 women) with normal occlusion were selected. A total of 29 panoramic radiograms were taken at normal head position and then 10 images of 5 subjects selected were repeatedly taken with repositioning 2 times at each of the head down (V-shaped occlusion) and up (horizontal occlusion) for evaluation of stability of adopted reference lines by using PM2002CC (Planmeca, Finland). The images were traced with adoption of two test reference lines and the long axes of the teeth. The mesial angles formed by each reference line and the long axes of the teeth were measured and analyzed. Results : With anatomical reference line, the mesiodistal tooth angulations of the molars showed the significant difference by over 5 degree between the normal and each changed head position. With segmented occlusal reference line, deviations of mesiodistal tooth angulations by the two changed head positions were less than 1 degree. The means, standard deviations, and maximum and minimum values of mesiodistal tooth angulations to segmental occlusal reference line on panoramic radiography were determined. Conclusion : It would appear that mesiodistal tooth angulations to segmental occlusal plane as reference line in panograms are predictable as standards of normal occlusion and useful for evaluation of tooth arrangement between adjacent teeth.
