Purpose: To correct the upper lip depression after the correction of unilateral cleft lip, autologous grafts such as bone, dermal, fascial grafts and fat injections or alloplastic implants are used. Transplanted bones, dermis and fascia have a tendency to be absorbed and have donor morbidity. Fat injections are absorbed inconsistently and alloplastic implants have problems such as foreign body reactions, protrusions and infections. Authors corrected the upper lip depression using conchal cartilage graft in unilateral cleft lip deformity and the results was analysed with photos. Methods: 26-unilateral cleft lip and 2-microform cleft lip cases, totally 28 cases were performed. Their mean age was 21.89 years. The male and female cases were 12 and 16, respectively. Under anesthesia (general: 18 cases and local: 10 cases), cavum conchae (n=8), cymba conchae (n=16) and whole conchae (n=4) were harvested. Transversely cut the margin of the obtained cartilage, we cut out the most bent portion and put a partial-thickness incision on concave surface in cases of excessive convexity. Then, we performed the onlay graft of the conchal cartilage via scar revision site in unilateral cleft lip and via the reconstruction site of the cupid bow in microform cleft lip. The augmentation of the upper lip was evaluated with photos. Adapting the baseline connecting between the both cheilions as a horizontal standard line, we measured the highest point among the tangents between the upper lip and nose (point a), the lowest point (point c), the middle point between a and c (point b) and the vertical line from the alare (point d) to the horizontal standard line. To assess the postoperative symmetry, we compared cleft side upper lip contour index (%) A,B,C,D=(a,b,c,d)-ch ${\times}$ 100/(ch-ch) and non-cleft side upper lip contour index (%) A',B',C',D'= (a',b',c',d')-ch ${\times}$ 100 / (ch-ch).h) Results: After the surgery, no complication was found except in one case which double layers graft performed in the cleft lip deformity, the lateral portion was protruded. The upper lip contour index, the difference of A and A' were-0.83%, and thus the mild depression was persisted. Difference of B and B', C and C', D and D' were 0.83%, 1.07%, 0.90%. There were statistically significant difference, and thus the depression of upper lip were improved generally. Conclusion: Authors performed the onlay graft of the conchal cartilage in unilateral cleft lip deformity and found that the depression of the upper lip was well corrected except the uppermost part when photogrammetrically analyzed.

[ $ZnHgGa_4Se_8\;and\;ZnHgGa_4Se_8::Co^{2+}$ ] single crystals were grown by the Bridgman-Stockbarger method. The single crystals crystallized into a defect chalcopyrite structure. The optical energy band gap of the single crystals was investigated in the temperature range 11-300K. The optical energy band gap of the $ZnHgGa_4Se_8:Co^{2+}$ single crystal was smaller than that of the $ZnHgGa_4Se_8$ single crystal. The temperature dependence of the optical energy band gap of the single crystals was well fitted by the Varshni equqtion. The impurity optical absorption spectrum of the $ZnHgGa_4Se_8:Co^{2+}$ single crystal was measured in the wavelength region 300-2300 m at 80 K. Impurity absorption peaks in the spectrum were analyzed within the framework of the crystal field theory and were attributed to the electron transitions between the energy levels of $Co^{2+}$ sited in the Td symmetry point.

This study focused on the beoseon, traditional Korean socks that are a fashion item showcasing the beauty of the round hanbok shape. The study utilized the beoseon as an influential design motif and suggested 24 cultural fashion items to which the beoseon can be applied, including neckties, scarves, and T-shirts. For the purposes of this study, Adobe Illustrator CS3 and Adobe Photoshop CS3 were used for the motif design as well as the literature review on traditional beoseon socks. For the basic design motif, two basic forms were taken from the collection of the National Folk Museum of Korea. The key point of the motif development is that it maintains the basic shape of the beoseon but highlights the attractiveness of the Korean image by using repetition, rotation, symmetry and overlap into a new image pattern so that modern and chic images were taken into consideration for each cultural product. For the necktie, the mixed or repeated patterns for each motif were used as is. Alternatively, an oblique line pattern was adopted to express a stable and stylish image. For the T-shirt, a round-neck sleeveless type was designed. T-shirts were unified in the white color to highlight the image from the pattern. For the scarf, two shapes were displayed, square and rectangle. Through mixture of two repeated variation unit patterns for each motif, a splendid and stylish image was revealed along with various layouts.

Studies on the control of the inverted pendulum type system have been widely reported. This is because it is a typical complex nonlinear system and may be a good model for verifying the performance of a proposed control system. In this paper, we propose the design of some fuzzy logic control (FLC) systems for controlling a Segway-type mobile robot, which is an inverted pendulum type system. We first derive a dynamic model of the Segway-type mobile robot and then analyze it in detail. Next, we propose the design of some FLC systems that have good performance for the control of any nonlinear system. Then, we design two conventional FLC systems for the position and balance control of the Segway-type mobile robot, and we demonstrate their usefulness through simulations. Next, we point out the possibility of simplifying the design process and reducing the computational complexity,, which results from the skew symmetric property of the fuzzy control rule tables. Finally, we design two other FLC systems for position and balance control of the Segway-type mobile robot. These systems have only one input variable in the FLC systems. Furthermore, we observe that they offer similar control performance to that of the conventional two-input FLC systems.

For a data with the assumption of the mixture distribution, it is important to find an appropriate threshold and evaluate its performance. The relationship is found of well-known nine classification accuracy measures such as MVD, Youden's index, the closest-to-(0, 1) criterion, the amended closest-to-(0, 1) criterion, SSS, symmetry point, accuracy area, TA, TR. Then some conditions of these measures are categorized into seven groups. Under the normal mixture assumption, we calculate thresholds based on these measures and obtain the corresponding type I and II errors. We could explore that which classification measure has minimum type I and II errors for estimated mixture distribution to understand the strength and weakness of these classification measures.

$La_{1/3}NbO_3$ and $La_{1/3}TaO_3$ large single crystal was prepared by the infrared floating zone method and their crystal structure and dielectric properties were investigated from the viewpoint of A - site vacancy. In $La_{1/3}TaO_3$ crystal, the crystal symmetry and approximate lattice constants was tetragonal and a $\approx$ 0.397, b $\approx$ 0.397 and c $\approx$ 0.775 from the nonextinction and the reciprocal lattice point length seen on Weissenberg and Precession photographs. The jump of some $2/3La^{3+}$ ions leads to increase the moving paths due to the generation of new vacancies at middle empty sites and thus this result is confirmed to provoke the dielectric anomaly.

Structural analyses of a turbine bladed-disk for a liquid rocket turbopump are peformed to investigate the safety level of strength and vibration at design point. Due to the high rotational speed of the turbopump, effects of centrifugal forces are carefully considered in the structural analysis. Thermal load caused by extreme temperature distribution is also considered as an external force applied to turbine bladed-disk. A three dimensional finite element method (FEM) is used for cyclic symmetry structural analyses with the MSC/NASTRAN DMAP Alter. Interblade phase angles are considered to investigate structural dynamic characteristics as a function of rotational speed. Through the numerical analysis, effects of centrifugal and thermal loads on the turbine bladed-disk are examined.

Binary companions are often invoked to explain the axial and point symmetry seen in the majority of planetary nebulae and proto-planetary nebulae (PPNs). To explore this hypothesis, we have undertaken a long-term (20 year) study of light and velocity variations in PPNs. From the photometric study of 24 PPNs, we find that all vary in brightness, and from a subset of 12 carbon-rich PPNs of F-G spectral type we find periods of 35-155 days, with the cooler having the longer periods. The variations are seen to be due to pulsation; no photometric evidence for binarity is seen. A radial velocity study of a sub-sample of seven of the brightest of these shows that they all vary with the pulsation periods. Only one shows evidence of a longer-term variation that we tentatively identify as being due to a binary companion. We conclude that the present evidence for the binary nature of these PPNs is meager and that any undetected companions of these PPNs must be of low mass (< 0.25 $M_{\odot}$) or long period (> 30 years).

For the reduction of the 12-channel TDM/FDM translation time the 14-point fast DCT algorithm is used and the polyphase network which translates the prototype filter into the channel filters required in each channel is designed. For the prototype filter the degree of the numerator is 168 and the coefficients have symmetry values, the degree of the numerator is 6. Such a prototype filter is consistant with the CCITT requirements. In this case the required multiplication rate is CCITT requirements. In this case the required multiplication rate is $0.12267{\times}10^2$ multiplications/sec. channel and reduces to about 15-40% of the rate required in the exising systems. The proposed 12-channel TDM/FDM translation system is simulated using a demodulation system with a computer (PRIME 750) and the results show that the proposed conversion method is valid.

Undoped and Co$^{2+}$ $\alpha$-Ga$_2$S$_3$ thin films were grown by spray pyrolysis method. It has been found that these thin films have a monoclinic structure and direct optical energy gap and indirect were located to 3.477eV and 3.123 eV at 10K respectively. In the photoluminescence due to a D0A(donor-acceptor) pair recombination were observed at 502 nm and 671 nm for the $\alpha$-Ga$_2$S$_3$ thin film, where is excited by the 325 nm-line of He-Cd laser. These peaks are identified to be corresponding to the electron transition between the energy levels of Co$^{2+}$ ion sited a the T$_{d}$ symmetry point in the $\alpha$-Ga$_2$S$_3$;Co$^{2+}$ thin film. film.
