PURPOSE. The purpose of this study is to evaluate translucency and masking ability of translucent zirconia compared to conventional zirconia and lithium disilicate materials. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Three types of zirconia blocks with different yttria contents (3Y, 4Y, 5.5Y) and LS blocks (Rosetta SM) were used. Ten specimens for each group were fabricated with 10 mm diameter, with both 0.8 mm and 1.5 mm thicknesses (± 0.02 mm). All groups of zirconia specimens were sintered and polished according to the manufacturer's instructions. To calculate the translucency parameter (TP), CIELAB value was measured with a spectrophotometer on black and white backgrounds. To investigate the color masking abilities, background shades of A2, normal dentin, discolored dentin, and titanium were used. The color difference (ΔE) was calculated with the CIELAB values of A2 shade background as a reference compared with the values in the various backgrounds. One-way ANOVA and Bonferroni tests were conducted (P < .05). RESULTS. The TP values of zirconia specimens increased as the yttria content increased. All materials used in the study were able to adequately mask normal dentin shade (ΔE < 5.5), but were incapable of masking severely discolored dentin (ΔE > 5.5). On the titanium background, all materials of 1.5 mm thickness were able to mask the background shade, but with a thickness of 0.8 mm, only 3Y-TZP and 4Y-PSZ were able to mask titanium background. CONCLUSION. All zirconia materials and lithium disilicate specimens used in this study were unable to adequately mask the shade of severely discolored dentin. It is recommended to use 3Y-TZP or 4Y-PSZ with a sufficient thickness of 0.8 mm or more to mask titanium.

피부, 옷 등 실세계의 대부분의 물질들은 반투명한 재질로 되어있고, 부드러운 외양을 띄고 있다. 본 논문에서는 GPU 기반의 계층화 알고리즘을 통해, 양극 확산 (dipole diffusion) 기법에 기반한 표면 내에서의 빛의 산란에 의한 조명을 근사하여 반투명한 재질을 실시간에 렌더링하는 기법을 제안한다. 무수히 많은 수의 픽셀 빛 입자들은 GPU를 활용하여 쿼드트리로 계층화된다. 렌더링될 각 픽셀마다, 많은 빛 입자를 대신하여 좋은 화질로 근사할 수 있는 집합들을 선택하고, 이것을 사용하여 조명을 계산한다. 우리는 또한, 고해상도 이미지를 효율적으로 렌더링하기 위해 공간적 일관성과 early-z 컬링을 이용한 계층적 화면 보간 기법을 소개한다. 이를 위하여, 화면 정보를 GPU 상에서 계층화한다. 우리는 공간적 유사도가 높은 픽셀들을 하나의 픽셀로 렌더링함으로써 적응적으로 보간한다. 실험을 통해 빛 계층화를 통해 반투명한 물체를 실시간에 렌더링할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 화면 보간 기법은 동급 화질에서 렌더링 비용을 $2{\sim}4$배 정도 감소시켰다. 모든 과정은 GPU를 사용한 이미지 공간 상에서 빠르게 수행되며, 어떠한 긴 전처리과정도 필요하지 않는다.

Composite materials are widely used in industry because of its high ration of strength vs. weight, and consequently many nondestructive methods have been developing to find stress or subsurface defects like crack, and delamination inside composite material. Among them, optical inspection methods have been widely neglected because of translucent or opaque nature of composite. (omitted)

The age and growth of the Marbled sole, Pleuronectes yokohamae were investigated using left sagittal otoliths of 832 individuals collected in the mid-southern waters of Korea from January 2006 to April 2007. The seasonal changes in the ratio of an translucent zone to interval between annular rings revealed that the boundaries between translucent and opaque parts of the otolith were annual growth rings formed between May and June once a year. The spawning period was November to March and therefore the duration from fertilization to the complete formation of the annual growth ring became fifteen months. The parameters of von Bertalanffy growth equations estimated using the average standard length at each age are the $L_{\infty}$ of 48.04cm, K of 0.1406/year and $t_0$ of -0.5116 for female and 26.14cm, 0.3056/year and -0.8202 for male, respectively. Finally, it is suggested that the growth of female is faster than that of male from age-2.

In order to fabricate the translucent electrooptic ceramics which are comparable to PLZT, $PNZT^*$ has been prepared from aqueous solutions of their itrate and chlorides. In the quarternary $Pb^{1-x} Nd_x(Zr_{0.63} Ti_{0.37})^{1-\frac{x}{4}O_3$, (PNZT) $(0.02\le x\ge 0.12)$ system cold-pressed PNZT slugs were sintered in $O_2$ in pt-crucible for 45 min. at 118$0^{\circ}C$ and were then heat-treated in air for 60 hrs. at 120$0^{\circ}C$ in Al2O3 crucibles containing $PbZrO_3$ powder to control the atmosphere. Mean particle size of calcined PNZT powders was 0.1~0.15${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. It was found that the maximum value of optical transmission has been revealed at 6~8 at. % $Nd_2O_3$ added body and that their dielectric constant has been decreased as the frequency increased. Curic temperature has been varied inversely with $Nd^{3+}$ ion content up to 8 at. % and become constant above this value. $^*Pb_{1-x}Nd_x(Zr_{0.63} Ti_{0.37})_{1-2/4}O_3$

포인트 기반 렌더링은 그 과정이 간단하고 유연하기 때문에 폴리곤 기반 렌더링의 대안으로 주목을 받고 있다. 하지만 기존의 포인트 기반 렌더링 방법들은 사람의 피부와 같은 반투명 물체를 사실적으로 표현하기에는 충분하지 않다. 본 논문에서는 부드럽고 반투명한 피부 외관을 생성하는데 중요한 현상인 서브서피스 스캐터링을 표현할 수 있는 포인트 기반 렌더링 프레임워크를 제안한다. 피부처럼 다층으로 이루어진 물체에서의 서브서피스 스캐터링을 정확하게 시뮬레이션 하기 위해서, 본 논문에서는 다수의 가우시안 기저함수들을 일차 결합하여 오브젝트 공간상의 스플랫에 적용하는 스플랫 기반의 확산 방법을 개발하였다. 개발된 방법으로 여러 사람의 얼굴들을 렌더링하였을 때, 기존의 포인트 기반 방법들보다 시각적인 품질에서 훨씬 향상된 결과를 보였다.

We determined the maturity and growth of the Marbled sole, Pseudopleuronectes yokohamae based on monthly sampling in the West Sea of Korea from February 2009 to December 2010. Determination of sex of P. yokohamae was by gonadal inspection, and age and growth were determined by analyzing the otolith. The biological minimum size of P. yokohamae female was 24.5 cm. The seasonal changes in the ratio of a translucent zone to an opaque zone revealed that the end of the translucent zone of the otolith were annuli formed in May once a year. We compared 8 type growth equations with several length-at-age data. By using the length-at-monthly age data of these, the calculated von Bertalanffy growth equations were $L_t=41.7(1-e^{-0.47(t+0.24)})$ for females and $L_t=32.7(1-e^{-0.75(t+0.01)})$ for males. We estimated that 24.5 cm was the total length of 2 year old P. yokohamae spawns in the cold water season from January to April, and grows to 8 years old for females and 6 years old for males in the West Sea of Korea.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the translucency of shaded zirconia allceramic systems. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Translucency of 3 different zirconia all-ceramic systems colored by different techniques was compared with a lithium disilicate glass-ceramic (IPS e.max Press). Square-shaped specimens with 0.5 mm thickness were fabricated from In-Ceram YZ, ICE Zirkon and Katana systems in A1, A2 and A3.5 shades according to Vitapan Classical shade tab (n=11). Specimens were then veneered and glazed with corresponding veneer ceramic recommended by each zirconia system manufacturer and the total thickness was set to 1.5 mm. Translucency measurements were performed with VITA Easyshade Compact spectrophotometer after each stage and translucency parameter was calculated. Data were statistically analyzed with repeated measures ANOVA and Tukey multiple comparison test. RESULTS. The control group was significantly more translucent than the zirconia systems (P<.05). ICE Zirkon cores showed the least translucency; neither In-Ceram YZ nor Katana systems were superior to each other in terms of translucency. Translucency of all specimens was decreased after veneering, and the translucency rankings were changed. CONCLUSION. Coloring technique did not have a significant effect on translucency of zirconia cores. Although zirconia systems were less translucent than lithium disilicate glass ceramic, they had partial translucency and there were translucency differences among the zirconia systems. Chroma affected the translucency of precolored zirconia cores.

The age and growth of jack mackerel Trachurus japonicus caught by large purse seine fishery were studied during August 2004 and May 2005. Otoliths of 472 fish were observed under reflected light, and translucent zones made on the post-rostrum axis were regarded as annual marks. Monthly changes in the marginal index indicated that the translucent zone was formed once a year, mainly in March-April, which was coincident with the peak spawning time of jack mackerel. The estimated ages were 0-6 years, corresponding to a fork length (FL) range of 13 to 38 cm. Most obtained individuals were 2-year-old fish, followed by 1-year-old fish. The mean fork length at age from otolith reading (sex combined) was applied to the von Bertalanffy equation and growth parameters were estimated: L_∞ = 38.29 cm FL, k = 0.31 years⁻¹, t₀ = −0.81 years.
