Purpose: Reduction mammaplasty is a procedure with a relatively high patient satisfaction rate, however, associated scarring around the areola can be a serious problem. This study proposes a new modification of the breast reduction procedure by means of an inframammary incision alone. Methods: The breast is marked out preoperatively with standing position. Under the general anesthesia, an inframammary incision of approximately 7 - 8 cm is done. The subcutaneous plane is made in the lower pole of the breast, then the subglandular plane is entered and a sharp dissection is made up to 2 cm below the areola. The breast is mobilized from the chest wall and a cone-shaped parenchyme is removed in en-block except from the retroareolar central part. The remaining both pillars are gathered together with absorbable sutures and the base of the gland is narrowed to project the breast forward. The wound is closed in a layered fashion and taping of the breast mound is applied to redistribute the breast skin. Results: 21 patients (36 breasts) underwent this procedure from December 2004 to December 2009. Average follow up was 9 months (ranged from 6 months to 12 months). No major complication occurred. Most patients were pleased with the breast size, shape, and scars. However, 2 patients complained their hypertrophic scars which were corrected by revision. Conclusion: This technique is a simple approach to mild to moderate breast reduction through an inframammary incision alone. And, this technique provides an option with minimal complications and invisible scarring, which is especially important in the young patient group.

디지털곡선에 있어서 잡음은 지역적으로 급격한 곡률 변화를 일으키므로 이를 없애거나 그 영향을 완화시키기 위해 평균을 이용한 스무딩 기법을 많이 사용한다. 그런데 스무딩은 그 정도가 지나치면 원래 형태의 특징을 왜곡시키거나, 이미지의 면적이 많이 감소될 수 있고 스무딩이 적으면 잡음이 충분히 제거되지 않는 문제점이 있다. 이 연구에서는 화소로 구성된 디지털 곡선에 대해서 반복적 평균 스무딩의 반복횟수, 이웃 점간의 거리, 평균을 위한 가중치와 스무딩 후의 점의 이동거리 등의 파라메터들 관계를 수학적으로 표현하고, 이 관계를 이용하여 스무딩 곡선을 입력곡선으로부터 허용오차 이내에 있도록 거리오차를 제어하는 방법과 스무딩 속도를 개선하는 방법을 제안한다.

The purpose of this study is to find P-wave crustal velocity structure and the Moho characteristics beneath Seoul (SEO) and Inchon (INCN) stations using broadband teleseismic records. The use of broadband receiver function analysis is increasing to estimate the fine-scale velocity structure of the lithosphere. The broadband receiver functions are developed from teleseismic events of P waveforms recorded at Seoul (SEO) and Inchon (INCN) stations, and are analyzed to examine the crustal structure beneath the stations. The teleseismic receiver functions are inverted in the time domain of the vertical P wave velocity structures beneath the stations. The crustal velocity structures beneath the stations are estimated using the receiver function inversion method (Ammon et al., 1990). The general features of inversion results are as follows: (1) For the Seoul station, the Conrad and Moho discontinuities exist at 22 km and 30 km depth in the south ($BAZ=180^{\circ}$) direction. (2) For the Inchon station, the Conrad discontinuity exists at 22 km depth in the direction of SE ($BAZ=145^{\circ}$) and the Moho discontinuity exists at 30~34 km depth with a 4 km thick, which consists of a laminated velocity transition layers with thickness, whereas a crust-mantle boundary beneath the Seoul station consists of a more sharp boundary compared with the Moho shape of INCN station.

Reduced pressure chemical vapor deposition(RPCYD) technology has been investigated for the growth of SiGe epitaxial films with two dimensional in-situ doped boron impurities. The two dimensional $\delta$-doped impurities can supply high mobility carriers into the channel of SiGe heterostructure MOSFETs(HMOS). Process parameters including substrate temperature, flow rate of dopant gas, and structure of epitaxial layers presented significant influence on the shape of two dimensional dopant distribution. Weak bonds of germanium hydrides could promote high incorporation efficiency of boron atoms on film surface. Meanwhile the negligible diffusion coefficient in SiGe prohibits the dispersion of boron atoms: that is, very sharp, well defined two-dimensional doping could be obtained within a few atomic layers. Peak concentration and full-width-at-half-maximum of boron profiles in SiGe could be achieved in the range of 10$^{18}$ -10$^{20}$ cm$^{-3}$ and below 5 nm, respectively. These experimental results suggest that the present method is particularly suitable for HMOS devices requiring a high-precision channel for superior performance in terms of operation speed and noise levels to the present conventional CMOS technology.

A disadvantage in the design of a hypotrochoidal gear pump as in a gerotor pump is a lack of parts that can be adjusted to compensate for wear in the rotor set, and as a consequence, it causes a sharp reduction of volumetric efficiency. In this paper, an attempt has been made to reduce the wear rate between the rotors of a hypotrochoidal gear pump. Using the knowledge of shape design on the rotors, the contact stresses without hydrodynamic effect between the rotors' teeth are evaluated through the calculation of the Hertzian contact stress. Based on the above result and the sliding velocity between the rotors, a genetic algorithm (GA) is used as an optimization technique for minimizing the wear rate proportional factor (WRPF). The result shows that the wear rate or the WRPF can be reduced considerably, e.g. approximately 12.8% in this paper, throughout the optimization using GA.

The main object of this study is to investigate the collection characteristics of an electro-static multi-staged impaction system, experimentally. The experiment is carried out to analyze the characteristics of pressure drop and collection efficiency for the present system with the experimental parameters such as the inlet velocity, stage number, applied voltage and shape of discharge electrode, etc. In results, the pressure drop is shown below $148mmH_2O$ lower than that of the conventional bag filter at inlet velocity 3.46 m/s and 5 stage. For 5 stage, the collection efficiencies are to be 97.4, 99.0% with the applied voltage 0 kV at the inlet velocity 2.07, 3.46 m/s, while 98.4, 99.9% with 40 kV of a sharp edge discharge electrode. Additionally, the present system is to be considered as an effective compact system for a removal of particulate pollutants from marine diesel engines due to much higher collection efficiency and appropriate pressure drop.

영상에서 신호가 급격히 변화하는 지점은 영상의 특징을 분석함에 있어서 가장 중요한 요소이며, 영상의 위치와 모양 등에 대한 다양한 정보를 포함하고 있다. 그러므로, 이러한 에지를 검출하기 위한 많은 연구가 이루어져 왔으며, 초기에 사용한 에지 검출 연산자는 인접한 화소들 사이에 대한 관계를 이용하는 것이었다. 이 와 같은 방법들은 모든 경계 지점에서 에 지를 검출하므로, 라인-에지와 같은 일정한 폭 이하의 곡선에 대해서도 에지의 중복 검출을 수행한다. 한편, 최근 신호처리 분야에서 새로운 기법으로 제시된 웨이브렛 변환은 멀티스케일 에지 검출이 가능하며, 영상에서 에지를 포함한 특징들을 분석하는 분야에 널리 응용되고 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 라인 폭에 의존하지 않는 새로운 2-D 웨이브렛 함수를 사용하여, 영상에 존재하는 다양한 폭의 곡선에서 라인-에지 성분을 검출하였다.

Surface crack detection is an important aspect in the quality control process of egg markets. The acoustic vibration of an egg could be used as a critical factor in evaluating the eggshell quality. The mode shape indicates the egg vibration behavior at different locations with respect to the input impulse and provides important information for the optimum sensor location to obtain the desired acoustic measurements. Theoretical analysis and experimental measurements were conducted to determine the acoustic vibration modes in eggs. The resonant fiequencies of the first and second resonance mode of intact eggs were found to be distributed between 2kHz and 7kHz range. The measured mode shapes of an egg were similar to theoretical shapes of homogeneous, elastic spheres. An elliptical deformation at the equator ring of the egg was observed. The frequency peak of this mode was dominantly present in the frequency spectrum of an intact egg impacted at its sharp position. The mode shapes related to the first resonant frequency of an egg shelved that the optimum location for the measuring sensor was the 180 degrees position. A optimum location for the egg support was found to be the 90 degrees position having the smallest vibration magnitude.

신호에서 급격한 변화의 지점은 신호의 특징을 분석함에 있어서 가장 중요한 요소이며, 영상에서 에지는 위치, 모양 그리고 재질 등과 같은 다양한 정보를 포함한다. 따라서 이러한 에지를 검출하기 위한 많은 연구가 수행되었으며, 공간영역에서 컨벌루션 마스크를 이용한 방법들이 대표적이다. 그러나 이와 같은 초기의 방법들은 영상에 잡음과 다양한 종류의 에지가 존재할 경우, 선택적으로 에지를 분리하는 것이 용이하지 않다. 한편, 멀티스케일 에지 검출이 가능한 웨이브렛은 영상의 특징들을 분석하기 위해 광범위하게 응용되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 잡음에 강인한 웨이브렛 기반의 에지 검출기를 제안하여 라인-에지 성분을 선택적으로 분리 검출하였다.

본 논문에서는 동물의 표피와 근육질 사이 체내에 주입할 수 있는 UHF 대역의 RFID 태그를 개발하였으며, 그 태그를 사용한 동물정보관리 시스템을 개발 하였다. 일반 상용 태그는 동물의 체내에서 동작하지 않으므로 체지방과 근육의 유전율을 고려하여서 태그를 설계 하였다. 태그는 피부 밑에 삽입이 쉽도록 끝이 뾰족하게 그리고 얇게 설계되었다. 태그의 성능을 동물의 근육과 표피 안에서 검증하였다. 동물정보관리시스템은 개발된 태그를 사용하여 동물들의 종류, 병력, 주인의 정보, 주소지 등을 관리 할 수 있다. 개발된 프로그램과 태그는 군견이나 경찰견 관리용으로 사용이 가능하다.
