The aim of this study was to produce a simple and inexpensive technique for estimating the obturator foramen area (OFA) from young calves based on the hypothesis that OFA can be extrapolated from simple linear measurements. Three linear measurements - dorsoventral height, craneocaudal width and total perimeter of obturator foramen - were obtained from 55 bovine hemicoxae. Different algorithms for determining OFA were then produced with a regression analysis (curve fitting) and statistical analysis software. The most simple equation was OFA ($mm^2$) = [3,150.538 + ($36.111^*CW$)] - [147,856.033/DH] (where CW = craneocaudal width and DH = dorsoventral height, both in mm), representing a good nonlinear model with a standard deviation of error for the estimate of 232.44 and a coefficient of multiple determination of 0.846. This formula may be helpful as a repeatable and easily performed estimation of the obturator foramen area in young bovines. The area of the obturator foramen magnum can thus be estimated using this regression formula.

In this paper we embody a system that recognizes printed alphabet, numeral figures and symbols written on the keyboard for the recognition of English sentences. The image of the printed sentences is inputted and binarized, and the characters are separated by using histogram method that is the same as the existing character recognition method. During the abstraction of the individual characters, we classify one group that has not numerical information by the projection of the vertical center of the character. In case of another group that has the longer width than the height, we assort them by normalizing the width. The other group normalizes the height of the images. With the reverse application of the basic principle of the Japanese Puzzle to a normalized character image, the proposed system classifies and recognizes the printed numeral figures, symbols and characters, consequently we meet with good result.

Effect of a solid insert on thermal stratification in the natural convection enclosure is numerically investigated. The enclosure consists of two differently heated vertical walls and two adiabatic horizontal walls. A solid insert is located in the middle of the enclosure. The non-dimensional governing equations are solved by using the SIMPLER algorithm. The computations are carried out with the variations of thermal conductivity, width and height of the solid insert. The Prandtl number of the fluid in an enclosure is fixed at Pr=0.71, Two cases of Rayleigh number are considered in the present study, i.e., Ra:10$^3$ and 10$^{6}$ . The thermal stratification attenuates as thermal conductivity, width, and height of the solid insert are increased. As the thermal conductivity ratio of a solid insert to fluid increases beyond (equation omitted)10$^3$, the thermal stratification ratio shows an asymptotic value.

Objective: The present study is intended to develop an improved bus seat armrest design by evaluating various bus armrest designs from ergonomic aspects. Background: An ergonomic armrest design which considers the sitting postures and body shapes of passengers can improve the convenience and comfort of a bus seat. Method: Subjective satisfaction of each of five design dimensions (length, width, height from seatpan, shape, and angle) was evaluated for seven bus seat armrest designs in various sizes and shapes by 58 participants (28 males and 33 females) using a 7-point scale (1: very dissatisfied, 4: neutral, and 7: very satisfied). Improved bus seat armrest designs adjustable in length and rotatable to the left or right (sliding and rotating armrest, SRA) with a concave, flat, or convex shape of the upper part were developed by considering the preferred design features and the body size and shape in sitting posture and needs of passengers and then compared with a conventional armrest. Results: A bus seat armrest with a wide width (40~50mm), a long length (360mm), a lower height (213mm), and a curved shape was found significantly preferred in terms of comfort. The proposed armrest designs (SRA-convex, SRA-flat, and SRA-concave) improved satisfaction by 46~62% for length suitability, 184~216% for width suitability, 205~214% for angle suitability, 138~181% for contact area suitability, and 49~64% for height suitability, 138~174% for comfort, and 93~111% for overall satisfaction. Conclusion: The preferred design features and passengers' needs of bus seat armrest were identified and the SRA designs were recommended for better usability. Application: The ergonomic design process of bus seat armrest employed in the present study can be applied to designing armrests in various vehicles for better convenience and comfort.

본 논문에서는 플랜지된 평행평판도파관으로 급전된 슬릿과 이에 평행하고 근접하는 도체 스트립과의 전자기적인 결합문제를 단순화된 근접주사현미 경의 관점에서 연구하였다. 슬릿의 등가어드미턴스, 슬릿근처 도파관 내부 및 외부의 무효전력, TEM파 전압반사계수의 크기 및 위상 등의 변화결과로부터 플랜지된 평행평판도파관의 특성을 조사하였다. 제안된 구조의 근접주사현미경으로서의 성능을 다양한 구조적인 파라미터들(도파관 높이, 슬릿의 폭, 스트립의 폭, 슬릿과 스트립 간격, 슬릿 폭과 도파관 높이의 비)이 TEM파 전압반사계수의 크기와 위상에 미치는 영향을 관찰하여 점검하였다. 슬릿으로부터 스트립의 변위에 따른 전압반사계수의 변화결과로부터 도파관의 높이가 작을 때 보다 높은 주사해상도를 얻을 수 있음과 반사계수의 크기 변화에 비해 위상변화가 훨씬 민감함을 확인하였다.

Alveolar ridge defects may limit or restrict placement of implants. The purpose of this study was to evaluate clinical and histopathologic results which occur following guided bone regeneration using platelet-rich plasma, bovine bone powder and e-PTFE membrane in the localized alveolar bone defects. Ten patients who required guided bone regeneration in implant placemnet, were slelected. Alveolar crest height and width were measured at baseline and, afer 2nd surgery 5 months later At 5 months , we obtained histopathological results as follows: 1. Alveolar crest height was an average of $8.20{\pm}3.74$ mm preoperatively and decreased to an average of $7.40{\pm}1.84$ mm postoperatively. There was no significant difference. 2. Alveolar crest width was an average of $4.25{\pm}2.03$ mm preoperatively and significantly increased to an average of $7.20{\pm}2.44$ mm postoperatively (P<0.01) 3. The change of Alveolar crest height and width were $0.80{\pm}1.40$ mm, $2.95{\pm}1.09$ mm 4. Histopathological evaluations revealed new bone formation with graft material and laminated bone containing the presence of osteocyte-like cell In conclusion, guided bone regeneration using platelet-rich plasma, bovine bone powder and e-PTFE membrane would provide a viable therapeutic alternative for implant placement in the localized alveolar defect or implant failure

케이슨 방파제의 설계는 구조물의 기능을 유지하면서 일정 피해를 허용하는 성능설계를 권장한다. 하지만 기존 성능설계 방법은 기후변화로 변화된 해양 환경을 설계에 반영하기 어려워 구조물의 수명 동안에 안정성을 보장할 수 없다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 대표적인 기후변화 효과인 해수면 상승과 파고의 증가를 고려한 시간 의존 성능설계를 수행하여 케이슨의 기대활동량과 파괴확률을 산정하였다. 특히, 해수면 상승과 파고의 증가가 시간의 함수로 표현되어 케이슨 활동에 대해 시간 의존 파괴확률을 계산하였다. 개발된 방법을 일본 동해안에 위치한 Hitachinaka항 동방파제에 적용하였다. 해수면 상승보다 파고의 증가가 구조물의 안정성에 훨씬 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 분석되었는데, 이는 해수면 상승 폭이 구조물 전면 수심에 비해 상대적으로 아주 작기 때문이다. 또한 설계자들의 실제적인 관심사인 기후변화에 의한 케이슨 단면 폭의 변화를 산정하였다. 구조물의 설계수명이 커질수록 단면 폭의 증가가 컸으며, 현재 폭이 약 22 m인 Hitachinaka 방파제 케이슨은 기후변화 효과인 파고의 선형 및 포물선 증가에 의해 단면 폭이 각각 0.5m와 1.5m 내외로 증가된다.

This study was aimed to provide the measurement data and shape classification of the head of the Korean male children for the headwear sizing systems. Five hundred twenty male children, aged nine to twelve years, participated f3r this study. The 17 regions on the head and height, weight of the subjects were directly measured by the expert experimenters. Factor analysis, cluster analysis, GLM analysis and Tukey HSD test were performed using these data. Through factor analysis, low factors were extracted upon factor scores and those factors comprised $69.76\%$ for the total variances. Three clusters as their head shape were categorized using four factor scores by cluster analysis. Type 1 was characterized by the widest width and Bitragion arc, shortest head length. Type 2 had the longest head length and the widest side width and the highest head length and head circumference. Type 3 was characterized by the smallest head circumstance, head width and side width, and medium head length.

In this work, the closing behavior of cylindrical-shaped voids was experimentally investigated according to various parameters such as reduction ratio in height, initial void size and billet rotation during hot open die forging process. The reduction ratio in height, number of path, and billet rotation were chosen as key process parameters which influence the void closing behavior including the change of void shape and size. On the other hand, values of die overlapping and die width ratio were set to be constant. Void closing behavior was estimated by microscopic observation. Based on the observations, it was confirmed that application of billet rotation is more efficient to eliminate the void with less reduction ratio in height. The experimental results obtained from this study could be helpful to establish the optimum path schedule of open die forging process.

The influence of reciprocating frequency and radius on heat transfer in the roughened rectangular channel is experimentally investigated. The aspect ratio (width/height) of the duct is 2.33 and the rib height is one fifteenth of the duct height. And the ratio of rib-to-rib distance to rib height is 10. The discrete ribs were periodically attached to the button wall of the duct with a parallel orientation. The parametric test matrix involves Reynolds number, reciprocating, and reciprocating radius, in the ranges, 1,000∼6,000, 1.7∼2.5 HB and 7∼15cm, respectively. The combined effects of reciprocating frequency and reciprocating radius have considerable influence on the heat transfer due to the modified vortex flow structure.
