A case of complete interruption of aortic arch with aortopulmonary window, patent ductus arteriosus, and aberrantly originated right subclavian artery from proximal descending aorta, in a four year old boy is reported in detail. This is the only reported case in Korea, who has had a successful one-stage total anatomical correction of this combination of defects. Under deep hypothermia and total circulatory arrest, aortic continuity was established using patent ductus arteriosus and anterior wall of pulmonary artery, which was anastomosed obliquely to anteromedial side of ascending aorta. Aortopulmonary window was closed using Impra patch via pulmonary arteriotomy. Then pulmonary arteriotomy was reconstructed primarily except at the junction of right pulmonary artery and main pulmonary artery, where a small piece of pericardium was used to close the defect to prevent kinking and narrowing of right pulmonary artery. Postoperative cardiac catheterization demonstrated a good reconstruction.

Interruption of the aortic arch may be defined as discontinuity of the aortic arch in which either an aortic vessel or a patent ductus arteriosus supplies the descending aorta. This anomaly is a rare congenital malformation that usually occurs with severe associated intracardiac congenital anomalies, such as ventricular septal defect, patent foramen ovale and abnormal arrangement of the brachiocephalic arteries. Rarely, transposition of the great vessel, truncus arteriosus are coexistent. We experienced a case of the interrupted aortic arch [Type A] associated with VSD, PDA and patent foramen ovale in a 16 years old female. One stage total correction was done under profound hypothermia with total circulatory arrest. Aortic continuity was established using patent ductus arteriosus with anterior wall of main pulmonary artery, which was anastomosed obliquely to anteromedial side of the ascending aorta. Ventricular septal defect was closed using Dacron patch and patent foramen ovale was closed directly. Postoperative course was uneventful, except mild hoarseness.

The k-$\varepsilon$ turbulence models by Launder et al.(1977, LPS) and Leschziner and Rodi(1981, LR) are modified to account for the secondary straining effect with having a generality in the present paper. The modified models are obtained by replacing the gradient Richardson number used to account for the secondary straining effect in the original models by a new parameter with a tensor-invariant correction form. These two modified models are used to predict the turbulent flow over a backward-facing step. In contrast to both standard and modified LR models, the modified LPS model is found to predict the reattachment point fairy well, as well as mean velocity, wall static pressure, turbulent kinetic energy and Reynolds shear stress in the recirculating region.

Two patients with funnel chest deformity were corrected in the department of Thoracic Surgery, N.M.C. The first case was a 12 months old male suffering from recurrent upper respiratory tract infection and symmetrical funnel chest deformity, of which hollow cavity was measured 40 ml of water. He was corrected by method of sternal turnover. The result was satisfactory. The second case was a 16 years old male suffering from exertional dyspnea, recurrent upper respiratory tract infection, wheezing sound [esp., at night], and asymmetrical funnel chest deformity, of which hollow cavity was measured 80 ml of water. He was corrected by modified Ravitch method. Until postoperative 4 months, result was satisfactory. Thereafter, respiratory wheezing, exertional dyspnea and chest wall deformity were returned to pre-operative status.

Four patients with funnel chest deformity corrected in the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Seoul National University Hospital are presented. The first case was a 21-year old female with cyanosis, clubbed fingers and systolic murmur on the left infrascapular region on physical examination associated with agenesis of the right lung. The deformity was of asymmetrical funnel chest, in which the left hemithorax was more sunken. She was corrected by the method of Funnel Costoplasty of Wada. The second case was a three years old boy whose anterior chest wall was symmetrically deformed, and he was corrected by the method of Ravitch using Adkins strut under the sternum. The third was a 22-year old man with symmetrical deformity, and was corrected by the method described by Shannon in 1973. The last patient was a 22-year old man and he had dyspnea on exertion, palpitation and apical systolic murmur with symmetrical funnel chest deformity. He was also corrected by Ravitch operation, All of them has excellent result.

We experienced a case of interrupted aortic arch[Type A] associated with PDA, VSD, mitral regurgitation and single coronary artery. The patient was 7 years old boy, who showed congestive heart failure[NYHA functional class III]. One stage total correction was performed under profound hypothermia with total circulatory arrest. Aortic continuity was established using PDA with anterior wall of main pulmonary artery flap. VSD was closed with Dacron patch and mitral regurgitation repaired by Reed`s annuloplasty method. The postoperative cardiac catheterization revealed no pressure gradient between ascending aorta and descending aorta, decreased pulmonary artery pressure and trivial residual shunt[Qp/Qs: 1.28]. The aortogram showed good continuity of the aorta without narrowing of the anastomotic site. During the period of 1 year follow up, heart failure symptoms were nearly subsided.

We report a successful surgical correction of type II truncus arteriosus without using a extra-cardiac conduit in an 2 month-old infant. The truncal root is transected, and the confluence of branch pulmonary arteries is brought anterior to the aorta by using Lecompte`s maneuver. The aorta is then reconstructed directly with an end-to-end anastomosis. The right ventricular outflow tract is reconstructed by anastomosing the posterior wall of the confluence directly to the upper part of the vertical right ventriculotomy. A monocusp ventricular outflow patch is then placed anteriorly to complete reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract. The patient had an uncomplicated postoperative course and was discharged on the 9th postoperative day.

스테인레스 강(SUS 316L) 분말과 왁스계 결합제를 혼합하여 제조한 분말사출재의 유변학적 특성을 낮은 전단율에서 측정하기 위해 동심원반식 점성측정기를 이용하여 실험을 실시하였다. 측정기 벽면에서 발생하는 벽면 슬립(Slip)을 확인하고 벽면 슬립을 보정하기 위하여 두가지의 원반 간격에서 측정된 실험 자료를 이용하여 벽면 슬립을 보정하는 방법을 채택하였다. 실험 중, 측정 전단율범위를 제한하는 Thixotropy 현상을 발견학고 이에대한 원인분석을 위한 실험을 진행한 결과 과도한 전단응력에 의해서 분말사출재로부터 분리되어 나온 슬립층이 내부로 빠르게 흡수되어 들어가지 못하고 잔류하면서 Thixotropy 현상을 발 생시키는 것으로 판단되었다. Thixotropy 현상이 발생하지 않는 범위를 조사한후, 제한된 범위내에서 분말사출재의 유변학적 특성을 측정하였다. 측정된 자료는 항복응력을 지니는 유체의 특성을 표현하는 Bingham 식의 변형식에 잘 근사 되었으며, 슬립속도를 실험결과로 부터 계산한 결과 전단응력에 따라 선형적인 관계를 가지고 있는 점과 항복응력의 존재를 정성적으로 보여주는 결과를 얻었다.

In this work, a mixed beam approach is performed to identify the transverse shear behavior of thin-walled composite beams with closed cross-sections. The analytical model includes the effects of elastic couplings, shell wall thickness, and torsion warping. The distributions of shear flow across the section as well as the shear correction coefficients are obtained in a closed form in the beam formulation. The influence of transverse shear deformation on the static behavior of closed cross-section composite beams is also investigated in the analysis

In the present study, a program for predicting thermal performance of an air cooled condenser is illustrated. Heat transfer equations of single phase and two phase flow are formulated into the form that is convenient to incorporate the local analysis method. The resulting equations are solved by temperature and mass correction methods. Empirical equations for both side fluids are incorporated in the caculation procedures. In order to compare the calculation results, superheat temperature of steam are varied. The tube length of superheated zone, wall temperature, temperature profile along the tube and steam qualities are predicted.
