Let M be a hyperbolic 3-manifold such that ${\partial}M$ has at least two boundary tori ${\partial}_oM$ and ${\partial}_1M$. Suppose that M contains an essential orientable surface P of genus $g$ with one outer boundary component ${\partial}_oP$, lying in ${\partial}_oM$ and having slope ${\lambda}$ in ${\partial}_oM$, and $p$ inner boundary components ${\partial}_iP$, $i=1$, ${\cdots}$, $p$, each having slope ${\alpha}$ in ${\partial}_1M$. Let ${\beta}$ be a slope in ${\partial}_1M$ and suppose that $M({\beta})$ is toroidal. Let $\hat{T}$ be a minimal essential torus in $M({\beta})$, which means that $\hat{T}$ is pierced a minimal number of times by the core of the ${\beta}$-Dehn filling, among all essential tori in $M({\beta})$. Let $T=\hat{T}{\cap}M$ and denote by $t$ the number of components of ${\partial}T$. In this paper we prove: (i) if $t{\geq}3$, then ${\Delta}({\alpha},{\beta}){\leq}6+\frac{10g-5}{p}$, (ii) If $t=2$, then ${\Delta}({\alpha},{\beta}){\leq}13+\frac{24g-12}{p}$, (iii) If $t=1$, then ${\Delta}({\alpha},{\beta}){\leq}1$.

Statement of problem : Use of fiber composite technology as well as development of nonmetal implant prosthesis solved many problems due to metal alloy substructure such as corrosion. toxicity, difficult casting, expensiveness and esthetic limit. After clinical and laboratory test, we could find out that fiber-reinforced composite prostheses have good mechanical properties and FRC can make metal-free implant prostheses successful. Purpose : The purpose of this study is to evaluate the flexural strength of implant fixed prosthesis using fiber reinforced composite. Material and methods : 2-implant fixture were placed in second premolar and second molar area in edentulous mandibular model, and their abutments were placed, and bridge prostheses using gold, PFG, Tescera, and Targis Vectris were fabricated. Tescera was made in 5 different designs with different supplements. Group I was composed by 3 bars with diameter 1.0mm and 5 meshes, 2 bars and 5 meshes for Group II, 1 bar and 5 meshes for Group III, and only 5 meshes were used for Group IV. And Group V is composed by only 3 bars. Resin (Tescera) facing was made to buccal part of pontic of gold bridge. All of gold and PFG bridges were made on one model, 5 Targis Vectris bridges were also made on one model, and 25 Tescera bridges were. made on 3 models. Each bridge was attached to the test model by temporary cement and shallow depression was formed near central fossa of the bridge pontic to let 5 mm metal ball not move. Flexual strength was marked in graph by INSTRON. Results : The results of the study are as follows. The initial crack strength was the highest on PFG. and in order of gold bridge Tescera I, Tescera II, Targis vectris, Tescera IV, Tescera III, and Tescera V. The maximum strength was the highest on gold bridge, and in order of PFG, Tescera I, Tescera IV Tescera II, Targis vectris, Tescera III, and Tescera V. Conculsions : The following conclusions were drawn from the results of this study. 1. Flextural strength of implant prosthesis using fiber reinforced composite was higher than average posterior occlusal force. 2. In initial crack strength, Tescera I was stronger than Tescera V, and weaker than PFG. 3. Kinds and number of auxillary components had an effect on maximum strength, and maximum strength was increased as number of auxillary components increased. 4 Maximum strength of Tescera I was higher than Targis vectris, and lower than PFG.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV), a beta-herpesvirus with worldwide distribution, exhibits host persistence, a distinguishing characteristic of all herpesviruses. This persistence is dependent upon restricted gene expression in infected cells as well as the ability of productively infected cells to escape from normal cell-mediated anti-viral immunosurveillance. Type I (IFN-α/β) and type II (IFN-γ) interferons are major components of the innate defense system against viral infection. They are potent inducers of MHC class I and II antigens and of antigen processing proteins. Additionally, IFNS mediate direct antiviral effects through induction effector molecules that block viral infection and replications such as 2′, 5-oligoadenylate synthetase (2, 5-OAS). IFNS function through activation of well-defined signal transduction pathways that involve phosphorylation of constituent proteins and ultimate formation of active transcription factors. Recent studies have shown that a number of diverse viruses, including CMV, EBV, HPV mumps and Ebola, are capable of inhibiting IFN-mediated signal transduction through a variety of mechanisms. As an example, CMV infection inhibits the ability of infected cells Is transcribe HLA class I and II antigens as well as the antiviral effector molecules 2, 5-OAS and MxA I. EMSA studies have shown that IFN-α and IFN-γ are unable to induce complete signal transduction in the presence of CMV infection, phenomena that are associated with specific decreases in JAKl and p48. Viral inhibition of IFN signal transduction represents a new mechanistic paradigm for increased viral survival, a paradigm predicting widespread consequences in the case of signal transduction factors common to multiple cytokine pathways.

In order to assess hydrologic and nonpoint source pollutant behaviors in a watershed with Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model, the accuracy evaluation of SWAT model should be conducted prior to the application of it to a watershed. When calibrating and validating hydrological components of SWAT model, the Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency coefficient (EI) has been widely used. However, the EI value has been known as it is affected sensitively by big numbers among the range of numbers. In this study, a Web-based flow clustering EI estimation system using K-means clustering algorithm was developed and used for SWAT hydrology evaluation. Even though the EI of total streamflow was high, the EI values of hydrologic components (i.e., direct runoff and baseflow) were not high. Also when the EI values of flow group I and II (i.e., low and high value group) clustered from direct runoff and baseflow were computed, respectively, the EI values of them were much lower with negative EI values for some flow group comparison. The SWAT auto-calibration tool estimated values also showed negative EI values for most flow group I and II of direct runoff and baseflow although EI value of total streamflow was high. The result obtained in this study indicates that the SWAT hydrology component should be calibrated until all four positive EI values for each flow group of direct runoff and baseflow are obtained for better accuracy both in direct runoff and baseflow.

This persistence is dependent upon restricted gene expression in infected cells as well as the ability of productively infected cells to escape from normal cell-mediated anti-viral immunosurveillance. Type I (IFN-$\alpha$/$\beta$) and type II (IFN-γ) interferons are major components of the innate defense system against viral infection.

To study the varietal differences of vegetative organs, yield and yield components along the periodical changes of rice variety in korea, this experiment was conducted in 1968. Eighteen used varieties were grouped into 6 varietal groups by the cultivated period as follow.: 1) Group I - Korean local varieties cultivated about 1907, 2) Group II - introduced varieties cultivated in 1907 - 1930, 3) Group III - introduced varieties cultivated in 1930-1960, 4) Group IV - improved varieties cultivated in 1930-1960, 5) Group V - introduced varieties cultivated after 1960 and 6) Group VI - improved varieties cultivated after 1960. 1. Varietal Group I showed the longest leaves, the largest leaf area, the lowest value of leaf area index and the highest value of flag leaf angle. Along the periodical changes of rice varieties the leaf length, the total leaf area and the flag leaf angle were decreased, and the leaf area index was increased. 2. Varietal Group I showed higher value of the length and the weight of leaf sheath than those of Group II, III, IV, V and VI. The length of every internode was longer in Group I than in the other varietal groups. The weight of every internode was shown higher value in Group 1. The length and the weight of every internode were decreased along the periodical changes of rice variety. 3. Varietal Group I and Group III showed the higher value of culm length, panicle length and the number of grain per panicle length and groups. Group IV, V and VI had the higher value of the number of panicle, the maturing rate and the 1, 000 grains weight. Varietal Group V and VI which are cultivated in recent years showed shorter culm and panicle length, higher value of the maturing rate and the 1, 000 grains weight, and intermediate in the number of panicle and the number of grain per panicle. 4. The lowest value of straw weight was found in Group I. The highest value of grain yield was shown in Group VI, intermediate in Group II, III, IV and V and lowest in Group I. Grain-straw ratio was shown highest in Group VI.

Several segmentation algorithms have been proposed for DTM generation or building modeling from airborne LiDAR data. Three components are important for accurate segmentation: (i) the adjacent relationship of n-nearest points or mesh, etc. (ii) the effective decision parameters of height, slope, curvature, and plane condition, (iii) grouping methods. In this paper, we created the topology of point cloud data using the contour tree and implemented the region-growing Terrain and non-terrain points were classified correctly in the segmented data, which can be used also for feature classification.

The permissible positioning error of the transducer used in reactor inspection must be within 10 mm. To implement the required precision it is necessary to manufacture all components affecting the positioning mechanism correctly and precisely. In addition, it is also necessary to handle error factors accurately. This paper describes the activities of the findings and corrections of the errors which were occurred in experiments. Those activities are; i) Categorization of error factors, ii) Cause analysis of errors, iii) Correction of errors founded in experiments by the analysis of laser induction type and by the validation of real measurement of horizontal, vertical baselines.

Cytotoxic effects of Korean rice-wine (Yakju) made with different processes and ingredients (Korean rice-wines I, II), red wine, white wine, beer, and Japanese rice-wine (Sake) were examined against human cancer lines (DLD-1, HepG2, K562) and mouse cancer lines (EMT6, LLC1). Red wine showed cytotoxic effect on all cancer lines, while Korean rice-wines I, and II showed cytotoxcity on all cancer cells except DLD-1. White wine, beer, and Japanese rice-wine had no or little cytotoxic effect against all cancer cell lines. Concentrate of Korean rice-wine only showed cytotoxic effect against DLD-1. These results suggest Korean rice-wine has strong anti-cancer effects, which are induced by certain rice-wine components.
