Objective: This study aimed to analyze the effect of changing various parameters of the bone-borne rapid palatal expander (RPE) using the finite element method (FEM). Methods: In eight experimental groups, we investigated the effect of the number, position, and length of miniscrews; positional changes of the expander; and changes in the hook length on maxillary expansion. In finite element analysis, we compared the magnitude and distribution of stress, and the displacement changes following expansion of the bone-borne RPE. Results: When we compared the number and position of miniscrews, placing miniscrews in the anterior and posterior sides was advantageous for maxillary expansion in terms of stress distribution and displacement changes. Miniscrew length did not significantly affect stress distribution and displacement changes. Furthermore, anteroposterior displacement of the expander did not significantly affect transverse maxillary expansion but had various effects on vertical changes of the maxilla. The maxilla rotated clockwise when the miniscrews were placed in the anterior region. The hook length of the expander did not show consistent results in terms of changes in stress distribution and magnitude or in displacement changes. Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest that changes in the location and length of the miniscrews and displacement of the bone-borne RPE could affect the pattern of the maxillary expansion, depending on the combination of these factors.

In general, the salient features if the floating breakwater have excellent regulation of sea-water keeping the marine a1ways clean, up and dorm free movement with the incoming and outgoing tides, capable of being installed without considering the geological condition of sea-bed at any water depth, This study discusses the three dimensional wave transformation of the floating breakwater moored by catenary. Numerical method is based at the Green function method and eigenfunction expansion method. The validity of the present is confirmed by comparing it with the result of Ijima et a1.(1975) fer tensile maxed floating breakwater. According to the numerical results, drift and width of the floating breakwater affect at the wave transformation greatly, and incident wave of long period is well transmitted to the rear of the floating breakwater.

In this paper, we consider the topological derivative concept for developing a fast imaging algorithm of thin inclusions with dielectric contrast with respect to an embedding homogeneous domain with a smooth boundary. The topological derivative is evaluated by applying asymptotic expansion formulas in the presence of small, perfectly conducting cracks. Through the careful derivation, we can design a one-iteration imaging algorithm by solving an adjoint problem. Numerical experiments verify that this algorithm is fast, effective, and stable.

We discuss a model4-dimensional Friedmann cosmology which may have evolved from a model of 4+D dimensions which admits spontaneous compactification of D dimensions (or N-dimensional variants of the Brans-Dicke (BD) theory). The BD parameter appearing in dimensional reduction is negative $-1<\omega<0$ (for the N-dimensional variants of the BD theory, $-1.5{\leq}{\omega})$. We find that if there had been inflationary transtion to the standard big-bang model, the Universe can undergoe a polar-type expansion during when the gravitational coupling becomes negative. The unique feature is that for the negative w, the density parameter of the post-inflationary Universe falls in a range 0<0<1 even if the Universe is geometrically flat (k = 0).

Holographic interferometric tomography can provide reconstruction of instantaneous three-dimensional gross flow fields. The technique however confronts ill-posed reconstruction problems in practical applications. Experimental data are usually limited in projection and angular scanning when a field is captured instantaneously or under the obstruction of test models and test section enclosures. An algorithm, based on a series expansion method, has been developed to improve the reconstruction under the ill-posed conditions. A three-dimensional natural convection flow around two interacting isothermal cubes is experimentally investigated. The flow can provide a challenging reconstruction problem and lend itself to accurate numerical solution for comparison. The refractive index fields at two horizontal sections of the thermal plume with and without an opaque object are reconstructed at a limited view angle of 80$\circ$. The experimental reconstructions are then compared with those from numerical calculation and thermocouple thermometry. It confirms that the technique is applicable to reconstruction of reasonably complex, three-dimensional flow fields.

3차원적 타원체 형태 ($a_1>a_2>a_3$)를 사용하여, 2가지의 종횡비 (1차 종횡비 $\rho_{\alpha}$와 2차 종횡비 $\rho_{\beta}$)를 갖는 배열된 3차원 형태의 충전제를 포함하는 복합체의 열팽창 변화를 이론적으로 예측하는 모델을 연구하였다. Eshelby의 등가 텐서를 이용하여 배열된 타원형 충전제를 기지재의 이론에 의해 열팽창 계수를 예측할 수 있었다. 종단방향 열팽창 계수 ${\alpha}_{11}$는 두 가지 종횡비 모두 증가하면, 감소하여 충전제의 열팽창에 접근한다. 수직방향 열팽창 계수 ${\alpha}_{33}$는 충전제 함유량에 따라 초기에는 증가하여 최대값을 갖는 경향을 보인다. 1차 종횡비 $\rho_{\alpha}$가 증가하면, 횡단방향 열팽창 계수는 감소하나, 2차 종횡비 $\rho_{\beta}$가 증가하면, 같이 증가한다. 또한, 수직방향 열팽창 계수 ${\alpha}_{33}$는 $\rho_{\alpha}$가 증가하면 증가하나, $\rho_{\beta}$가 증가하면, ${\alpha}_{33}$는 반대로 감소한다.

본 논문은 단음절 전구간에 대해 4프레임폭과 7프레임폭을 결합하여 만든 40차원의 세그먼트를 K-L전개와 신경망으로 각각 10, 14, 20차원으로 압축하여 연속분포 HMM의 음성인식 특징파라미터로 사용하였다. 그리고 이산지속시간, 희귀계수 그리고 혼합분포를 특징 파라미터로 추가한 경우와 비교검토하였다. 단음절 100개에 대한 인식실험결과 연속분포 HMM의 인식률 85.19%에 비해 희귀계수를 부가한 경우 1.4%, 혼합분포를 이용한 경우 2.36%, 이산 지속시간제어를 한 경우 2.78%의 인식률이 향상되었다. 그리고 K-L전개에 의한 압축파라미터만 이용한 경우는 멜켑스트럼 + 희귀계수의 경우보다 인식률이 낮았으나, K-L전개에 의한 압축파라미터에 멜켑스트럼과 희귀계수를 부가한 경우는 동등한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 신경망에 의한 압축파라미터를 이용한 경우에는 비선형 변환인 시그모이드 함수를 사용하므로 음성의 동적변화가 잘 반영되어 K-L전개 및 다른 방법에 비해 향상된 인식결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in the nasal soft tissues, including movements of landmarks, changes in linear distances, and volumetric changes, using three-dimensional (3D) stereophotogrammetry after microimplant-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) in adult patients. Methods: Facial data were scanned using a white light scanner before and after MARPE in 30 patients. In total, 7 mm of expansion was achieved over a 4-week expansion period. We determined 10 soft tissue landmarks using reverse engineering software and measured 3D vector changes at those points. In addition, we calculated the distances between points to determine changes in the width of the nasal soft tissues. The volumetric change in the nose was also measured. Results: All landmarks except pronasale and subnasale showed statistically significant movement on the x-axis. Pronasale, subnasale, alar right, and alar left showed significant movement on the y-axis, while all landmarks except subnasale showed significant movement on the z-axis. The alar base width, alar width, and alar curvature width increased by 1.214, 0.932, and 0.987 mm, respectively. The average volumetric change was 993.33 ㎣, and the amount of increase relative to the average initial volume was 2.96%. Conclusions: The majority of soft tissue landmarks around the nasal region show significant positional changes after MARPE in adults. The nose tends to widen and move forward and downward. The post-treatment nasal volume may also exhibit a significant increase relative to the initial volume. Clinicians should thoroughly explain the anticipated changes to patients before MARPE initiation.

In the aerospace industry, Cold expansion has been used the most important method that is retarded of crack initiation from fastener hole surface. Cold expansion method(CEM) is that a oversized tapered mandrel goes through the hole in order to develop a compressive residual stress as the passing of the mandrel around the hole. Therefore, because of characteristic of mandrel inserting, Residual Stress Distributions (RSD) are differently generated form Entry, Mid and Exit position of the plate. Also, it is respected that RSD are changed as distances between holes. In this paper, It is performed a FE analysis of RSD by CEM and it is respectively shown RSD in the Entry, Mid and Exit position. It is compared residual stress results form the cold expansion in these two cases: the concurrent CEM and the sequential CEM. From this research, it has been found that compressive residual stress of Entry position is lower than other positions. Also, the concurrent CE of adjacent holes leads to much higher compressive residual stress than the sequential CE. In addition, in the sequential CE case, a compressive RSD of 1 step's hole around is lower than compressive RSD of 2 step's hole around.

The dimensional quality of flexible foams is often difficult to be evaluated through general machine vision inspection methods due to the free deformation of the outer shape. For the evaluation of the dimensions of flexible foams, methods of estimating the size of the product through the expansion rate of the product surface are evaluated. Specimens with various dimensions and surface gratings are prepared, and the degree of surface expansion is measured through machine vision. The correlation, between the measured surface grid size and the actual size of test specimens, is analyzed. We further analyze the correlation between the size of test specimens and the position of the surface grid. This study provides a basis for estimating the actual dimensions of specimens by measuring the surface expansion of flexible foams.
