The purpose of this study is to compare the shape of the apical regions of root canals after instrumentation by various enlarging instruments. 120 extracted, single-rooted human teeth were seperated into 4 experimental groups. Each group provided 30 teeth for experimental use. Group 1 root canals instrumented by the hand-operated Reamer. Group 2 root canals instrumented by the hand-operated H-file. Group 3 root canals instrumented by the hand-operated K-file. Group 4 root canals instrumented by the automated Giromatic file. The results were as follows: 1. The degree of the roundness of the apical regions of root canal walls: 1) Hand-operated instruments were superior to the automated Giromatic file. 2) The Reamer was the most effective instrument among hand-operated instruments 3) There was little difference between the H-file and the K-file. 2. The degree of the smoothness of the apical regions of root canal walls: 1) Root canal walls instrumented by the hand-operated Reamer, H-file and, K-file were generally smooth, and there was little difference among them. 2) Root canal walls instrumented by the automated Giromatic file showed many irregular canal walls. 3. The existance of organic debris in the apical regions of root canals: All organic debris is not removed from root canals, and there was little difference between hand-operated instruments and the automated Giromatic instrument in removing organic debris.

Union file system is a technology that can be used as a single file system by integrating various files and directories. It has the advantage of maintaining the source file/directory used for integration, so it is used in many applications like container platform. When using the union file system, the user accesses the write-able layer, to which the security technology provided by the operating system can be applied. However, there is a disadvantage in that it is difficult to apply a separate security technology to the source file and directory used to create the union file system. In this study, we intend to propose an access control mechanism to deny security threats to source file/directory that may occur when using the union file system. In order to verify the effectiveness of the access control mechanism, it was confirmed that the access control mechanism proposed in this study can protect the source file/directory while maintaining the advantages of the union file system.

Comparison of two representative deduplication file systems, LessFS and SDFS, shows that Lessfs is better in execution time and CPU utilization while SDFS is better in storage usage (around 1/8 less than general file systems). In this paper, a new system is proposed where the advantages of SDFS and Lessfs are combined. The new system uses multiple DFEs and one DSE to maintain the integrity and consistency of the data. An evaluation study to compare between Single DFE and Dual DFE indicates that the Dual DFE was better than the Single DFE. The Dual DFE reduced the CPU usage and provided fast deduplication time. This reveals that proposed system can be used to solve the problem of an increase in large data storage and power consumption.

The goals of root canal instrumentation are complete debridement of pulp tissue, removal of microbes and affected dentin, and proper cleaning and shaping of the root canal space before obturation. Instrumentation with stainless steel files has been shown to produce undesirable results in canals, regardless of the improved technique or modified file type used. Nickel-Titanium(Ni-Ti) alloy has been shown to be exceptionally elastic, having a lower bending moment and lower permanent set after torsion, compared with similar gauge stainless steel. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the change of root canal prepared by Ni-Ti rotary and stainless steel instruments. Thirty-four single rooted teeth of similar shape and canal size were divided into three groups. The teeth were scanned by computed tomography before instrumentation. In group 1, canals were instrumented using a step-back technique with K-file. In group 2, canals were prepared with K-flex file using the same technique as group 1. Group 3 was prepared with nickel-titanium(Ni-Ti) rotary instrument using a manufacture's instruction. Instrumented teeth were again scanned using computed tomography, and reformated images of the uninstrumented canals were compared with images of the instrumented canals. K-flex file and Ni-Ti file caused significantly less canal transportation than K-file in the 8mm root canal section from the apex(p<0.05). K-flex file and Ni-Ti file produced more centered canal preparation than K-file in the 2mm section(p<0.05). Ni-Ti file maintained more precisely the center of the canal than K-flex file in the 10mm section (p<0.05). There was no difference in the removed volume of canals among each groups.

Background: Various instrument kinematics used in single-visit endodontics influence the occurrence of pain after endodontic therapy. This study aimed to evaluate the occurrence of pain after mechanical instrumentation with Hyflex EDM (HEDM) and WaveOne Gold (WOG) during single-visit endodontic therapy. Methods: Sixty patients diagnosed with asymptomatic irreversible pulpitis and normal apical tissues in mandibular premolar teeth were included in the study for single-visit root canal therapy. The patients were divided into two groups (n = 30) according to the rotary instrument used during root canal preparation (group A [HEDM] and group B [WOG]). Pain was evaluated after endodontic therapy at 8, 24, and 48 h intervals using the visual analog scale (VAS). Data obtained were analyzed using the chi-square test, independent t-test, MannWhitney U test, and Wilcoxon matched-pairs test. Results: Statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups (P < 0.001) at 8, 24, and 48 h, with WOG exhibiting less pain than HEDM files. Conclusion: Postoperative pain was lower in the WOG file system than in the HEDM file system after single-visit root canal therapy at 8, 24, and 48 h.

In a distributed system, the simple file allocation problem determines the placement of copies of a file, so as to minimize the operating costs. The simple file allocation problem assumes the cost parameters to be fixed. In practice, these parameters change over time. In this research, dynamic file allocation problem for both single and multiple files are considered, which account for these changing parameters. A model for dynamic file allocation problem is formulated as a mixed integer program for which Lagrangian relaxation based branch-and-bound algorithm is developed. This algorithms is implemented and its efficiency is tested on medium to large test problems.

This study proposes a method to manipulate fragmentation of disks by arbitrarily allocating and releasing the status of a disk cluster in the NTFS file system. This method allows experiments to be performed in several studies related to fragmentation problems on disk cluster. Typical applicable research examples include testing the performance of disk defragmentation tools according to the state of fragmentation, establishing an experimental environment for fragmented file carving methods for digital forensics, setting up cluster fragmentation for testing the robustness of data hiding methods within directory indexes, and testing the file system's disk allocation methods according to the various version of Windows. This method suggests how a single file occupies a cluster and presents an algorithm with a flowchart. It raises three tricky problems to solve the method, and we propose solutions to the problems. Experiments for allocating the disk cluster to be fragmented to the maximum extent possible, it then performs a disk defragmentation experiment to prove the proposed method is effective.

Statistical matching is a methodology used to merge microdata from two (or more) files into a single matched file, the variants of which have been extensively studied. Among existing studies, we focused on Moriarity and Scheuren's (2001) method, which is a representative method of statistical matching for continuous data. We examined this method and proposed a revision to it by using a robust approach in the regression step of the procedure. We evaluated the efficiency of our revised method through simulation studies using both simulated and real data, which showed that the proposed method has distinct advantages over existing alternatives.

To analyze building energy consumption, the building description for building energy performance analysis (BEPA) is required. The required data input for subject building is a basic step in the BEPA process. Since building information modeling (BIM) is applied in the construction industry, the required data for BEPA can be gathered from a single international standard file format like IFCXML. However, in most BEPA processes, since the required data cannot be fully used from the IFCXML file, a building description for BEPA must be created again. This paper proposes IFCXML-based automatic data input approach for BEA. After the required data for BEPA has been defined, automatic data input for BEPA is developed by a prototype system. To evaluate the proposed system, a common BIM file from the BuildingSMART website is applied as a sample model. This system can increase the efficiency and reliability of the BEPA process, since the data input is automatically and efficiently improved by directly using the IFCXML file..
