Objectives : The aim of this study was to observe the effect of Embedding therapy on complete facial palsy after primary treatment. Methods : 11 patients with complete facial palsy were treated with Embedding therapy. It was performed once a day, every two weeks. 15~20 Embedding threads were used in each Embedding therapy treatment. The total number of Embedding therapy treatments was 4 or 8. Frontalis muscles (including the Yangbaek ($GB_{14}$)), Orbicularis oculi muscle, Levator labii superioris muscle, Zygomatic major muscle, Zygomatic minor muscle (including the Georyo ($ST_3$) and Jichang ($ST_4$)), Masseter muscle, Buccinator muscle (including the Hyeopgeo ($ST_6$)) and Orbicularis Oris muscle were selected. Yanagihara's score and House-Brackmann scale were compared for before and after treatment to evaluate the effect of Embedding therapy. Results : Yanagihara's score increased significantly (p=0.003). House-Brackmann Scale decreased significantly (p=0.005). Three patients were extremely satisfied, six patients were satisfied, and two patients responded neutrally in regards to Embedding therapy. Conclusions : Embedding therapy can be effective in improving symptoms of complete facial palsy.

According to the fact that the low convergence level of the complete elliptic integral of the first kind for the modulus which having values approach to one. In this paper we propose novelty of the complete elliptic integral which having new infinite series that consists of new modulus introduced as own modulus function. We apply scheme of iteration by substituting the common modulus with own modulus function into the new infinite series. We obtained so many new exact formulas of the complete elliptic integral derived from this method correspond to the number of iterations. On the other hand, it has been also obtained a lot of new transformation functions with the corresponding own modulus functions. The calculation results show that the enhancement of the number of significant figures of the new infinite series of the complete elliptic integral of the first kind corresponds to the level of quadratic convergence.

Usually, partailly balanced incomplete block design have been used a parametric design that make blocks of complete diallel cross. For that we use triangular PBIBD as parametric design, we have to find triangular PBIBD with corresponding parameters. Using the theorem that dual design of balanced incomplete block design with special parameters becomes triangular PBIBD, we can design block complete diallel cross without finding new triangular PBIBD. In this paper, we provided the plan and design satisfying such block complete diallel crosses.

Interconnect test for highly integrated environments like SoC, becomes more important as the complexity of a circuit increases. This importance is from two facts, test time and complete diagnosis. Since the interconnect test between IPs is based on the scan technology such as IEEE1149.1 and IEEE P1500, it takes long test time to apply test vectors serially through a long scan chain. Complete diagnosis is another important issue because a defect on interconnects are shown as a defect on a chip. But generally, interconnect test algorithms that need the short test time can not do complete diagnosis and algorithms that perform complete diagnosis need long test time. A new interconnect test algorithm is developed. The new algorithm can provide a complete diagnosis for all faults with shorter test length compared to the previous algorithms.

Background: Since the mid-20th century, the ways in which social networks and older adults' health are related have been widely studied. However, few studies investigate the relationship between self-rated health and position in a complete social network of one entire Korean rural village. This study highlights use of a complete network in health studies. Methods: Using the Korean Social Life and Health Project, the population-based data of adults aged 60 or older and their spouses in one myeon in Ganghwa island (Ganghwa-gun, Incheon, Korea), Incheon, Korea (with a 95% response rate), this study built a $1,012{\times}1,012$ complete social network matrix of the village. The data were collected from 2011 to 2012, and 731 older adults were analyzed. The ordered logistic models to predict self-rated health allowed us to examine social factors from socio-demographic to individual community activities, ego-centered network characteristics, and positions in a complete network. Results: From the network data, 5 network components were identified. Even after controlling for all other factors, if a respondent belonged to a segregated component, the probability that he or she reported good health dropped substantially. Additionally, high in-degree centrality was connected to greater self-rated health. Conclusion: This finding highlights the importance of social position not only from the respondents' point of view but also from the entire village's perspective. Even if a respondent maintained a large social network, when all of those social ties belonged to a segregated group in the village, the respondent's health suffered from this segregation.

To date, there have been no reports of patients showing a Tessier number 7 cleft with unilateral complete cleft lip and palate. Furthermore, no studies have established the sequence, plan, or timing of surgical methods for treating patients presenting the above anomalies simultaneously. We report a case of a Tessier number 7 cleft with unilateral complete cleft lip and palate. Two months after birth, lip adhesion was performed on the unilateral complete cleft lip and total excision was performed on the skin tag. At 4 months of age, Tessier number 7 cleft was corrected. At 6 months of age, surgery involving two small triangular flaps was performed on the unilateral incomplete cleft lip after performing lip adhesion. At 13 months of age, two-flap palatoplasty with a vomer flap was performed on the complete cleft palate. At 6 years of age, open rhinoplasty was performed on the unilateral cleft lip nose deformity. At 9 years of age, bone grafting was performed for the alveolar cleft. At follow-up appointments up to 13 years of age, there were no major complications. Here, we present this patient, surgical procedures and timelines, and show our results demonstrating good postoperative outcomes.

We investigate the behavior of $L^2$ harmonic one forms on complete manifolds and as an application, we show the space of $L^2$harmonic one forms on a complete Riemannian manifold of nonnegative Ricci curvature outside a compact set with bounded $n/2$-norm of Ricci curvature satisfying the Sobolev inequality is finite dimensional.

In this paper, we prove some fixed point theorems for some weaker forms of compatibility satisfying a contractive condition of integral type on d-complete Hausdorff topological spaces. Our results extend and generalize some well known previous results.

Let (M, g) be a complete Riemannian manifold and G be a closed (connected) subgroup of the group of isometries of M. Then the union ${\MM}$ of all principal orbits is an open dense subset of M and the quotient map ${\MM} \longrightarrow {\BB} := {\MM}/G$ becomes a Riemannian submersion for the restriction of g to ${\MM}$ which gives the quotient metric on ${\BB}$. Namely, B is a singular (complete) Riemannian space such that $\partialB$ consists of non-principal orbits.
