In this paper, we propose an efficient sequencing technique, namely minimum Row time scheduling (MFTS), to manage variable-Iength message transmissions for single-hop passive starcoupled WDM optical networks. By considering not only the message length but also the state of the receivers and the tuning latency, the proposed protocol can reduce the average delay of the network greatly. This paper also introduces a new channel assignment technique latency minimizing scheduling (LMS), which aims to reduce the scheduling latency. We evaluate the proposed algorithm, using extensive discrete-event simulations, by comparing its performance with shortest job first (SJF) algorithm. We find that significant improvement in average delay could be achieved by MFTS algorithm. By combining the proposed message sequencing technique with the channel selection technique, the performance of the optical network could be further improved.

단일 모드 광섬유의 그룹 속도 분산과 자기 위상 변조에 의해 왜곡된 파장 분할 다중 신호의 효율적인 보상을 위한 새로운 광전송 링크 기술을 제안하였다. 제안된 전송 링크는 WDM 송신이나 수신단 근처에 광 위상 공액기(OPC; optical phase conjugator)가 위치하고 각 중계 구간의 SMF 길이와 RDPS(residual dispersion per span)가 인위적으로 분포하는 구조이다. 시스템 성능을 개선하여 유효 입사 전력 범위와 유효 전체 잉여 분산 (NRD; net residual dispersion)을 늘릴 수 있는 최적의 링크 구조는 OPC가 WDM 수신단에 가깝게 위치하고 후치 보상(postcompensation)에 의해 NRD를 결정하고 중계 구간이 증가할수록 SMF 길이와 RDPS를 점진적으로 감소시키는 링크라는 것을 확인하였다.

PURPOSE. To compare marginal and internal gaps of zirconia substructure of single crowns with those of three-unit fixed dental prostheses. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Standardized Co-Cr alloy simulated second premolar and second molar abutments were fabricated and subsequently duplicated into type-III dental stone for working casts. After that, all zirconia substructures were made using $Lava^{TM}$ system. Marginal and internal gaps were measured in 2 planes (mesial-distal plane and buccal-palatal plane) at 5 locations: marginal opening (MO), chamfer area (CA), axial wall (AW), cusp tip (CT) and mid-occlusal (OA) using Replica technique. RESULTS. There were significant differences between gaps at all locations. The $mean{\pm}SD$ of marginal gap in premolar was $43.6{\pm}0.4{\mu}m$ and $46.5{\pm}0.5{\mu}m$ for single crown and 3-unit bridge substructure respectively. For molar substructure the $mean{\pm}SD$ of marginal gap was $48.5{\pm}0.4{\mu}m$ and $52.6{\pm}0.4{\mu}m$ for single crown and 3-unit bridge respectively. The largest gaps were found at the occlusal area, which was $150.5{\pm}0.5{\mu}m$ and $154.5{\pm}0.4{\mu}m$ for single and 3-unit bridge premolar substructures respectively and $146.5{\pm}0.4{\mu}m$ and $211.5{\pm}0.4{\mu}m$ for single and 3-unit bridge molar substructure respectively. CONCLUSION. Independent-samples t-test showed significant differences of gap in zirconia substructure between single crowns and three-unit bridge (P<.001). Therefore, the span length has the effect on the fit of zirconia substructure that is fabricated using CAD/CAM technique especially at the occlusal area.

Light losses in optical fibers are investigated by a fiber optic OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometry) sensor system to develop fiber optic probes for structural strain measurement. The sensing fibers are manufactured 3 kinds of fibers: one is single mode fiber, and second is multimode fiber, and the third is low-cladding-index fiber. Fiber bending tests are performed to determine the strain sensitivity according to the strain of gage length of optical fibers. In the result of this experiments, the strain sensitivity of the single mode fiber was shown the highest value than others. The fiber optic strain probe was manufactured to verify the feasibility of the structural strain measurement. In this test, the fiber optic strain probe of the OTDR sensor could be easily made by the single mode fiber.

The purpose of this study was to compare the leakage of four different obturation techniques in conjunction with immediate apical barrier of ${\beta}$-tricalcium phosphate(TCP) in teeth with open apex. Eighty single-rooted human premolar teeth were prepared and sectioned horizontally, so maximum diameter in apex was 4mm. Apical defects that were similar to open apex, were created with #1/2 round bur and SF104R bur. The apical foramen were opened to a size 80 file extended 3mm beyond the apex. The teeth were placed into the oasis block soaked saline to simulate periapical tissue often associated with pulpless teeth and received apical barriers consisting of TCP followed by obturation using lateral condensation technique, vertical condensation technique, continuous wave technique and thermoplasticized gutta-percha injection technique. Two unobturated teeth served as positive and negative controls. Teeth were immersed in resorcinol-formaldehyde resin for S days at $4^{\circ}C$, and the resin was allowed to polymerize completely for 4 days at room temperature. Teeth were then sectioned horizontally at 1.5mm(level 1), 2.5mm(level 2) and 3.5mm(level 3) from the apex, and examined under a stereomicroscope at ${\times}40$ magnification. The photographs were taken at ${\times}40$ magnification of the filling in each level and scanned. The leakage length in tooth/resin interface was measured at each of the three levels. Each ratio of leakage was obtained by calculating the ratio of the leakage length of canal wall infiltrated with resin to the total length of the canal and was analyzed statistically(One-way ANOVA and Scheffe test). The result were as follows : 1. At the level 1, there was the least leakage in the thermoplasticized gutta-percha injection technique group(group 4), but there was statistically significant(p<0.05). 2. At the level 2, there was the least leakage in the thermoplasticized gutta-percha injection technique group(group 4), and the most leakage in the continuous wave technique group(group 3). There was statistically significant difference between the thermoplasticized gutta-percha injection technique group and the continuous wave technique group(p<0.05). 3. At the level 3, there was the least leakage in the thermoplasticized gutta-percha injection technique group(group 4), but there were no statistically significant differences between other groups(p>0.05). These results suggest that thermoplasticized gutta-percha injection technique which had 1mm apical gutta-percha matrix after the formation of TCP apical barrier, can demonstrate favorable apical sealing.

분산 제어 (DM; dispersion management)은 파장 분할 다중 (WDM; wavelength division multiplexed) 채널의 고품질 전송을 위해 광섬유의 그룹 속도 분산 (GVD; group velocity dispersion)과 비선형 효과의 상호 작용에 의해 왜곡되는 신호의 보상할 수 있는 대표적 기술이다. DM이 적용된 광전송 링크의 유연한 구성에 필요한 중계 구간 (fiber span)을 구성하는 단일 모드 광섬유 (SMF; single mode fiber)의 길이와 중계 구간 당 잉여 분산 (RDPS; residual dispersion per span)을 랜덤하게 분포시키는 구조와 인위적으로 분포시키는 구조에서의 최적 전체 잉여 분산 (NRD; net residual dispersion)의 최적치와 유효 입사 전력 범위를 도출하였다. 고려한 SMF의 길이와 RDPS 분포 패턴 모두 precompensation으로 NRD를 조절하는 경우에서는 +10 ps/nm, postcompensation으로 NRD를 조절하는 경우에서는 -10 ps/nm이 최적 NRD라는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 NRD가 상기 값으로 설정된 경우 중계 구간이 증가할수록 SMF 길이를 감소시키고, RDPS를 증가시키는 인위적인 분포의 전송 링크에서의 시스템 성능이 가장 양호하여 균일한 분포의 링크에 비해 유효 입사 전력 범위가 2 dB 정도 신장되는 것을 확인하였다.

리세스 길이가 다른 4개의 와류동축형 분사기를 적층제조 방식으로 제작하였다. 상압 환경에서 물과 공기를 모사추진제로 하여 단일분사 및 혼합분사 수류실험을 수행하였다. 리세스 길이와 추진제 유량 조건에 따른 분사차압과 유량계수를 확인하였고, 이미지 분석을 통해 분열길이와 분무각을 측정하였다. 혼합분사 분사차압 및 유량계수 결과에서 액체 분사기는 리세스에 영향을 받지 않았다. 하지만 기체 분사기는 리세스 길이 증가에 따라 분사차압이 증가하고 유량계수가 감소하였다. 단일분사 시 분열길이는 리세스 증가에 따라 길어졌지만, 혼합분사에서는 반대로 감소하였다.

The Conventional approach for estimating the locations of transmission line shunt faults has been to measure the apparent impedance to the fault from a line terminal and to convert the reactive component of the impedance to line length. But, these methods do not adequately address the problems associated with the fault location on distribution systems. This thesis presents a technique that estimates the location of shunt fault on a radial distribution system that has several single and multiphase laterals. Tapped loads and non-homogenity of the distribution system are take into account. The developed technique, which can handle shunt faults was tested to evaluate its suitability. Results from computer simulation of faults on a model of a 25KV distribution lines like real system are presented. The results approved that the proposed technique works well for estimating the locations of the distribution line shunt faults.

광 위상 공액과 분산 제어 (DM; dispersion management)를 결합한 기술은 단일 모드 광섬유 (SMF; single mode fiber)의 색 분산과 비선형 Kerr 효과에 의한 광 신호 왜곡을 보상하는 대표적인 기술이다. 하지만 일반적으로 사용되는 고정된 각 중계 구간의 SMF 길이는 광전송 링크의 유연한 구성을 방해한다. 본 연구의 목적은 DM 광전송 링크를 구성하는 모든 중계 구간의 SMF 길이의 랜덤 분포를 통한 초고속 장거리 광전송 시스템의 유연한 구성 가능성을 살펴보는 것이다. 랜덤 분포에 의해 평균적으로 갖게 되는 SMF 길이가 짧을수록 파장 분할 다중 (WDM; wavelength division multiplexing) 신호 왜곡 보상에 효과적인 것을 확인하였다. 또한 각 중계 구간의 SMF 길이를 랜덤하게 분포시키는 DM 링크에서 우수한 보상을 위한 전체 잉여 분산의 조절은 postcompensation이 적합하고, 그 전체 잉여 분산(NRD; net residual dispersion) 크기는 -10 ps/nm인 것을 확인하였다.
