Stiffened plates, mostly used in the major part of ship and airplane structures, have been studied by various way-theoretical and experimental. In case of the fore and aft parts of the parallel middle body of ship structure, the stiffeners are not right-angled to the plate but acute angled. This paper presents the analysis of plates having included stiffeners by Finite Strip Method. The results of calculation show the influence of inclined angle which is less than $10^{\circ}$is ignorable. It is recommended that, when the inclined angle is over $20^{\circ}$, the section modulus of stiffener should be increased.

The Pythagorean theorem and Pythagorean triple are well known. We know some Pythagorean triples, however we don't Cow well that every natural number can belong to some Pythagorean triple. In this paper, we show that every natural number, which is not less than 2, can be a length of a leg(a side opposite the acute angle in a right triangle) in some right triangle, and list some Pythagorean triples.

A Brazilian girl aged 14 years and 9 months presented with a chief complaint of protrusive teeth. She had a convex facial profile, extreme overjet, deep bite, lack of passive lip seal, acute nasolabial angle, and retrognathic mandible. Intraorally, she showed maxillary diastemas, slight mandibular incisor crowding, a small maxillary arch, 13-mm overjet, and 4-mm overbite. After the diagnosis of severe Angle Class II division 1 malocclusion, a mandibular protraction appliance was placed to correct the Class II relationships and multiloop edgewise archwires were used for finishing. Follow-up examinations revealed an improved facial profile, normal overjet and overbite, and good intercuspation. The patient was satisfied with her occlusion, smile, and facial appearance. The excellent results suggest that orthodontic camouflage by using a mandibular protraction appliance in combination with the multiloop edgewise archwire technique is an effective option for correcting Class II malocclusions in patients who refuse orthognathic surgery.

This paper presents the results of a three-dimensional numerical investigation into the effect of new tunnel construction on structural performance of existing tunnel lining. A three-dimensional finite difference model, capable of modelling the tunnel construction process, was adopted to perform a parametric study on the spatial variation of new tunnel location with respect to the existing tunnel with emphasis on the plan crossing angle of the new tunnel with respect to the existing tunnel and the vertical elevation of the new tunnel with respect to the existing one. The results of the analyses were arranged so that the effect of new tunnel construction on the lining member forces and stresses of the existing tunnel can be identified. The results indicate that when a new tunnel underpasses an existing tunnel, the new tunnel construction imposes greater impact on the existing tunnel lining when the two tunnels cross at an acute angle. Also shown are that the critical plan crossing angle of the new tunnel that would impose greater impact on the existing tunnel depends on the relative vertical location of the new tunnel with respect to the existing one, and that the overpassing new tunnel construction scenario is more critical than the underpassing scenario in view of the existing tunnel lining stability. Practical implications of the findings are discussed.

In this study, we proposed an optical compensation method to improve the symmetricity of contrast ratio for wide viewing angle IPS (in-plane switching) LCD. First, the phase retardation depending on the thickness of compensation film is calculated, and then the phase change is presented at the $Poincar{\acute{e}}$ sphere. The phase retardation and the polarization state of the light passing through the optical elements are caculated by using the EJMM (extended Jones matrix method). In addition, the transmittance and the contrast countour are also calculated by using the Berremann's $4{\times}4$ matrix method. The simulation is carried out for a IPS LC cell with positive A/C/A compensation film. From the standard deviation of the contrast ratio, we confirmed the symmetricity at each viewing angle is inversely proportional to the standard deviation and calculated the optimum design condition of the uniaxial compensation film for the IPS LCD.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine EMG activities and VMO/VL ratio of the vastus medialis oblique, vastus lateralis, and rectus femoris during squat exercise (knee angle: 15, 45, and 60 degrees; tibial rotation: internal rotation, neutral, and external rotation). Methods: Twelve subjects performed squat exercise at each knee angle and tibial rotation while electromyographic (EMG) activity was collected. Statistical analysis consisted of two-way repeated measures analysis of variance with post hoc analysis. Results: There were significant main effects of knee angles and foot positions and interaction effect on EMG activities of vastus medialis oblique and vastus lateralis. VMO/VL ratios were significantly different by tibial rotations and there was an interaction effect. A neutral position produced significantly more VMO/VL activity ratio than that from internally rotated position and externally rotated position at 60 degrees. Conclusion: Considering the interaction effects for EMG activity across quadriceps muscles tested, the 60 degrees knee angle with a neutral foot position may provide the most effective condition for patients with acute patellofemoral syndrome.

Engineering and Technology have been influencing a lot in the field of sports. Competitiveness, attributes of sports, have forced not only sports players but sports goods to enhance those performance. Particularly in the field of motorsports, the convergence of sports and technology has long been done to satisfy between performance and safety. In this study, strength analysis was carried with FEM to develop CFRP Laminate(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic Laminate) bucket seat targeted to motorsports and car tuning industries and FIA($F\acute{e}d\acute{e}ration$ Internationale de l'Automobile) regulation was applied to design the racing seat and evaluate its strength. FEM modeling considered the attributes of composites was followed by strength evaluation based on Tsai-Wu failure index were done according to Lay-up sequence and layer numbers. The result showed that the lay-up sequence with stacking angle such as $[0^{\circ}/30^{\circ}/60^{\circ}/90^{\circ}/-30^{\circ}/-60^{\circ}]_4$ with 3mm form core was optimal selection in the field of weight and strength evaluation.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to find out the correlation factors for prognosis of calcaneal fractures. Materials and Methods: 120 cases (feet) of calcaneal fractures, all of them followed up for more than 1 year after surgical procedures, consisted of 101 men (105 feet) and 13 women (15 feet) were reviewed retrospectively. The collected clinical data were as follows : injury mechanism, surgical procedures, time to procedure, time to work and the radiologic data: Bohler angle, heel width, displacement of posterior facet. AOFAS hindfoot score and VAS score were checked. With ANOVA test and multiple regression analysis, the data processed statistically. Results: According Sanders classification, type II was 37 cases (31%), type III 66 cases (55%), and type IV 17 cases (14%). On plane radiography, the Bohler angle improved to average 28.4 degree from 5.6 degree, and the displacement of posterior facet was corrected to average 1.2 mm. AOFAS hindfoot score was checked average 81.7 points postoperatively, and the meaningful difference existed between types of Sanders classification. The Bohler angle represented the outline of the calcaneus had the better correlation with the clinical outcome of calcaneal fractures rather than the anatomical reduction of the posterior facet did. And the width of calcaneus had good correlation with the clinical score. Conclusion: We should also concern about the outline of calcaneus, the width of calcaneus and the Bohler angle representing anatomical reduction, not only the acute reduction of the posterior facet.

The purpose of the study is to identify the effect of length and right angle indication on the understanding of the concept of the figure when presenting the task of classifying the plane figures. we recorded thirty three 4th grade students' performance with eye-tracking technologies and analyzed the correct answer rate and gaze duration. The findings from the study were as follows. First, correctness rate increased and Gaze duration decreased by marking length in isosceles triangle and equilateral triangle. Second, correctness rate increased and Gaze duration decreased by marking right angle in acute angle triangle and obtuse triangle. Based on these results, it is necessary to focus on measuring the understanding of the concept of the figure rather than measuring the students' ability to measure by expressing the length and angle when presenting the task of classifying the plane figures.

This study has addressed to evaluate the effects of radius of curvature and skew angle on the negative reaction in a plate girder bridge with LRB (Lead Rubber Bearing) supports. As analytical parameters, various radius of curvatures and skew angles were selected and two seismic loads of El-Centro and artificial earthquakes were applied to the bridge in the longitudinal and transverse directions. As results of 3D analysis, the possibility of negative reaction is shown at the part of acute angle and inner side of the curved bridge, and becomes increased when seismic load is applied in the transverse direction. In addition, the occurrence of negative reaction is found to be increased as both radius of curvature and skew angle decrease, which means that curved bridge has higher possibility of negative reaction than straight one. Conclusively, all of earthquake wave, gradient, radius of curvature and skew angle should be considered together to investigate the possibility of negative reaction at the bridge support subject to seismic load.
