Background The loss of nasal tip support is caused by many factors and eventually results in the collapse and eventual dropping of the nasal tip. This reduces the nasolabial (NL) angle and negatively affects respiratory functions and one's appearance. Methods The aim of this retrospective study, which was conducted on 52 patients, was to present and popularize a simple and effective method for the reconstruction of a weakened columella by inserting an autologous ear cartilage graft using a sublabial approach. Results Of all the patients, three patients experienced transplant rejection. The period of follow-up observation was one to five years (mean, 27 months). The results were objectively evaluated by measuring the NL angle in standardized photos before and after the procedure at different time intervals over the follow-up period. We observed a significant increase of the NL angle (mean, $20^{\circ}$), and found these results to be durable over the long term. Of the 52 patients included in this study observed patients, three were dissatisfied (due to immediate infection and shifting of the strut), 28 were satisfied, and 21 were very satisfied. Conclusions The surgical method described here is simple and can be learned quickly. It has very good results with few complications, and is our method of choice for complex and serious cases seen in everyday rhinosurgical practice.

본 연구에서는 대표적인 계절용기기인 전기히터에 대하여 발화위험성을 평가하였다. 실험에는 2종류의 전기히터가 사용되었다. 전기히터 가동 시 히터 표면 및 주변의 온도변화를 측정하였으며, 내부 비파괴검사를 통하여 전기히터 내부구조를 파악하였다. 전기히터 화재원인 중 가장 높은 비율을 차지하는 가연물 근접방치에 의한 화재위험성을 평가하였다. 또한 전도 안전스위치 오작동에 의한 발화위험성을 평가하였다. 정상작동 시 전기히터 발열제 주위에서 온도가 $80^{\circ}C$ 이하로 유지되었다. 전기히터 가동 중 가연물 낙하 등으로 인하여 히터를 덮거나 안전장치(전도안전스위치, 과열방지장치)의 오작동 등에 의해 발화위험성이 상존하고 있다.

To suppress the bubble generated in the liquid LPG direct injector is the most important to develop the LPDi engine. It was found in the previous study that bubbling phenomenon in the injector of the LPDi engine is decisively influenced by pressure of fuel and temperature around the injector. Therefore, in this study, the effect on suppressing the bubbling in the LPDi injector by high pressurization of fuel is analyzed and the spray characteristics are also studied. As a result, it is found that the bubbling in the LPDi injector is radically suppressed when the pressure of fuel is over 50MPa. The bubbling is suppressed when the pressure of fuel is over 3MPa if the inserted position of the injector is considered. Also, it is confirmed that the higher the pressure of fuel is the longer spray tip penetration and is the larger spray angle. As the ambient pressure increases, spray tip penetration decreases and spray angle increases due to the increase of drag force.

In this study, hydrodynamic performance of a 400 mm diameter horizontal axis marine current turbine model was tested in a cavitation tunnel with 1.21 m x 0.8 m cross-section for over a range of tip speed ratios. Torque and thrust data, as well as cavitation visualizations, for certain operating conditions were acquired. Experimental results indicated that the turbine can be exposed to significant amount of sheet and cloud cavitation over the blades along with vortex cavitation at the blade tips. Inception and distribution of cavitation along the blades of the model turbine were then modelled numerically for design operating conditions using a vortex lattice method. The method was also applied to a turbine tested previously and obtained results were compared with the data available. The comparison between simulation results and experimental data showed a slight difference in terms of span-wise extent of the cavitation region. The cloud and tip vortex cavity observed in experiments cannot be modelled due to the fact that the VLM lacks the ability to predict such types of cavitation. Notwithstanding, the use of such prediction methods can provide a reasonably accurate approach to estimate, therefore take the hydrodynamic effects of cavitation into account in design and analysis of marine current turbines.

Analysis of flow phenomena in a centrifugal compressor impeller has been carried out with numerical simulation to understand the physics of flow near stall. Near stall point, tip leakage flow spills ahead of the leading edge of adjacent blade and other leakage flow passes over the clearance of the adjacent blade instead of rolling up into vortex within the passage. The tip leakage flow at the mid chord of impeller blade impinges against the pressure surface of the adjacent blade and then rolls up into vortex within the passage, which blocks the flow passage and generates viscous loss. The spillage of leakage flow ahead of the adjacent blade generates the recirculation of flow entering the impeller, which causes the power transferred into the flow by the impeller to decrease and blocks the flow passage. Near diffuser hub wall, flow recirculation occurs. As operating point goes to stall point, the core of recirculation approaches the impeller exit The length rises to peak point and then drops with mass flow reduction, while the height steadily rises.

Recently, it has been reported that frictional behavior at nanometer scale can be different from that at macro scale. In this article, friction and wear tests were conducted using an AFM to investigate the effect of real contact area on the coefficient of friction and wear property. SiO$_2$, Hica, and SiGe were used in friction test and the AFM tip was Si$_3$N$_4$. The real contact area between an AFM tip and flat surface was calculated by the Johnson-Kendall-Roberts (JKR) theory. Wear specimen was Mica, and the diamond tip was used. We found that the coefficient of friction is constant below a critical area, but it is degraded over the area. Moreover, it is found that wear depth increased rapidly from a certain load and was degraded as a function of the number of the scanning cycles. Also, the range of scanning velocity used in this study had little effect on the wear depth.

The vibrational system in this study consists of a cantilever pipe conveying fluid, the moving mass upon it, and an attached tip mass. The equation of motion is derived by using the Lagrange equation. The influences of the velocity and the velocities of fluid flow in the pipe have been studied on the dynamic behavior of a cantilever pipe using a numerical method. While the moving mass moves upon the cantilever pipe, the velocity of fluid flow and the nozzle angle increase; as a result, the tip displacement of the cantilever pipe, conveying fluid, is decreased. After the moving mass passes over the cantilever pipe, the tip displacement of the pipe is influenced by the potential energy of the cantilever pipe and the deflection of the pipe; the effect is the result of the moving mass and gravity. As the velocity of fluid flow and nozzle angle increases, the natural frequency of he system is decreased at the second mode and third mode, but it is increased at the first mode. As the moving mass increases, the natural frequency of the system is decreased at all modes.

The resistance spot welding of high strength steel degrades the weldability because of its high strength with rich chemical composition and coating layer to protect from corrosion. During the each resistance welding process the electrodes tip reacts with coating layer, then subsequently deteriorates and shorten electrode life. In this study, the Al-coated HPF (Hot Press Forming) steels and Zn-coated TRIP steels were used to investigate the electrode life for resistance spot welding. Experimental results show that the reactivity of Al-coating on HPF steels to electrode tip surface behaviors different from the conventional Zn-coated high strength steels. The electrode tip diameter and nugget size in electrode life test of Al-coated HPF steels are observed to be constant with respect to weld numbers. For Al-coated HPF steels, the hard aluminum oxide layer being formed during high temperature heat treatment process reduces reactivity with copper electrode during the resistance welding process. Eventually, the electrode life in resistance spot welding of Al-coated HPF steels has the advantage over the galvanized steel sheets.

SCM(Scanning Capacitance Method)를 이용하여, SCM 팁의 전계에 의해 형성되는 실리콘내의 공핍영역를 분석할 수 있는 방법론을 구축하였다. 2차원 유한요소법을 이용하여 SCM으로 측정된 결과로부터 불순물의 농도를 도출할 수 있었다. 이 방법은 캐패시턴스, 공핍화된 체적 및 바이어스에 따른 캐패시턴스의 변화율로부터 구해진다. 본 연구에서는 팁의 크기, 산화층 두께 및 가해지는 바이어스에 따른 공핍 전하와 전위에 따른 영향등을 분석하였다.

Vane tip 개념을 도입하여 소음 특성을 개선하도록 설계된 차세대 로터 블레이드(NRSB-I)의 공력 성능을 기존의 BERP 블레이드와 비교하기 위하여, 제자리 비행에 대한 점성 압축성 계산을 수행하였다. 깃끝 영역의 면적감소에 의하여 설계된 로터 블레이드의 절대 추력이 6-7% 정도 감소하지만, 동력계수의 감소폭이 더 크기 때문에 제자리 비행 성능상의 손실은 거의 없는 것으로 파악되었다. 또한, 깃끝 절단부에서 발생한 와류는 블레이드 표면을 지날 때 확산에 의하여 그 강도가 현저하게 약화되므로, 설계요구조건을 만족시키기 위해서는 절단부 위치에 펜스가 필요함을 확인할 수 있었다.
