Purpose: After the surgical correction with sagittal split ramus osteotomy, the position of the mandibular condyle in the glenoid fossa and the proximal segment of the mandible change because of bony gap between proximal and distal segment, especially in case of mandibular setback asymmetrically. In this study, positional changes in the condyle and proximal segment after BSSRO were estimated in the mandibular asymmetry patient by analyzing the in submentovertex view and P-A cephalogram for identification of ideal condylar position during surgery. Patients and Methods: The 20 patients were selected randomly who visit Dankook Dental Hospital for mandibular asymmetry. Bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy with rigid fixation was performed and P-A cephalogram and submentovertex view was taken at the time of preoperative, immediate postoperative, 3 month postoperative period. Results: Intercondylar length and transverse condylar angle was increased due to inward rotation of proximal segment and anteromedial rotation of lateral pole of condyle head. The condylar position had a tendency to return to the preoperative state and after 3 months return up to about half of the immediate post-operative changes, and all the results showed more changes in asymmetry patient and deviated part of the mandible. Conclusion: Based on all these results above, surgeon should make efforts to have a precise preoperative analysis and to have a ideal condylar position during rigid fixation after BSSRO.

Effects of the reduced frequency of upstream wake on downstream unsteady boundary layer flow were simulated by using a Wavier-Stokes code. The Wavier-Stokes code is based on an unstructured finite volume method and uses a low Reynolds number turbulence model to close the momentum equations. The geometry used in this paper is the MIT flapping foil experimental set-up and the reduced frequency of the upstream wake is varied in the range of 0.91 to 10.86 to study its effect on the unsteady boundary layer flow. Numerical solutions show that they can be divided into two categories. One is so called the low frequency solution, and behaves quite similar to a Stokes layer. Its characteristics is found to be quite similar to those due to either a temporal or spatial wave. The low frequency solutions are observed clearly when the reduced frequency is smaller than 3.26. The other one is the high frequency solution. It is observed for the reduced frequency larger than 7.24. It shows a sudden shift of the phase angle of the unsteady velocity around the edge of the boundary layer. The shift of phase angle is about 180 degree, and leads to separation of the boundary layer flow from corresponding outer flow. The high frequency solution shows the characteristics of a temporal wave whose wave length is half of the upstream frequency. This characteristics of the high frequency solution is found to be caused by the strong interaction between unsteady vortices. This strong interaction also leads to destroy of the upstream wake strips inside the viscous sublayer as well as the buffer layer.

The surrounding rock mass contains cracks and joints which are distributed randomly around tunnels, and in the process of tunnel blasting excavation, radial cracks could also be induced in the surrounding rock mass. In order to clearly understand the impact of radial cracks on tunnel stability, tunnel model tests and finite element numerical analysis were implemented in this paper. Two kinds of materials: cement mortar and sandstone, were used to make tunnel models, which were loaded vertically and confined horizontally. The tunnel failure pattern was simulated by using RFPA2D code, and the Tresca stresses and the stress intensity factors were calculated by using ABAQUS code, which were applied to the analysis of tunnel model test results. The numerical results generally agree with the model test results, and the mode II stress intensity factors calculated by ABAQUS code can well explain the model test results. It can be seen that for tunnels with a radial crack emanating from three points on tunnel edge, i.e., the middle point between tunnel spandrel and its top with a dip angle $45^{\circ}$, the tunnel foot with a dip angle $127^{\circ}$, and the tunnel spandrel with $135^{\circ}$ with tunnel wall, the tunnel model strength is about a half of the regular tunnel model strength, and the corresponding tunnel stability decreases largely.

In this study, displacement, deformation, and stability according to change of cohesion and internal friction angle were investigated through elasto-plastic method, finite-element method, and in-site experiment when excavating soft ground using sheet pile. The results of the study were as follows : 1. The horizontal displacement was 5.5% of the excavation depth by the elasto-plastic method and 3.9% of the excavation depth by the on-site experiment at the final excavation depth(GL-8.Om) on the condition of double stair strut after excavating GL-6.Om. 2. Relationships between cohesion(c) and internal friction angle $({\varphi})$ when safety factor to the penetration depth was 1.2 is shown in the following equations : (a) c= -O.0086$({\varphi})$+ O.3(D=3m) and (b) c=-0.00933$({\varphi})$+0.14(D=4m). 3. The results of elasto-plastic method and the experiment show that possible excavation depth was GL-6.Om after setting single stair strut in a short period in terms of possibility of carrying out on the condition of experimental site on the contrary general reinforcement method, setting double stair strut after excavating GL-4.0m. 4. After setting the strut, distribution of the horizontal displacement had concentrated on the excavation base and possible local failure which the shear strain caused decreased by the strut reinforced. 5. After setting strut, displacement of sheet pile was decreased by half, the limit of stable excavation depth of ground was GL-8.Om, and the maximum horizontal displacement at the GL-8.Om was 1.6% of excavation depth by the elasto-plastic method, 0.7% of excavation depth by the finite-element method.

The magnetic properties of the polycrystalline ${(Fe_{2}O_{3})}_{1-x-y}{(In_{2}O_{3})}_{x}{(Eu_{2}O_{3})}_{y}$(x=0.01, y=0.02과 x=0.02, y=0.03) have been studied by the methods of X-ray diffraction, $M\"{o}ssbauer$ effect, and magnetic hysteresis measurement. The X-ray diffraction patterns show that the samples have a same crystal structure as $\alpha-Fe_{2}O_{3}$. From the analysis of the temperature dependence of the quadrupole splitting and average half-width, it is found that the Morin transition occurs in the sample of x=0.01 and y=0.02 and the spin angle defined as the angle between the [111] crystal axis and antiferromagnetic vector, changes from about $35^{\circ}$ to the (111) plane as increasing the temperature in the sample of x=0.02 and y=O.03. The temperature dependence of magnetic hyperfine field is analyzed by using the spin-wave theory. The isomer shift values at room temperature are found to be given by about 0.35mm/s for the samples which means that the Fe ions belong to $3^{+}ion$. The temperature dependence of isomer shift was analyzed by using the Debye model.

During an experimental investigation on a 3-bladed and a 4-bladed axial inducer, a severe surge instability was observed in a range of cavitation number where the blade passage is choked and the inducer head is decreased from noncavitating value. The surge was stronger for the 4-bladed inducer as compared with a 3-bladed inducer with the same inlet and outlet blade angles. For the 4-bladed inducer, the head decreases suddenly as the cavitation number is decreased. The surge was observed after the sudden drop of head. This head drop was found to be associated with a rapid extension of tip cavity into the blade passage. The cause of surge is attributed to the decrease of the negative slope of the head-flow rate performance curve due to choke. Assuming that the difference between the 3 and 4-bladed inducers is caused by the difference of the blockage effects of the blade, a test was carried out by thickening the blades of the 3-bladed inducer. However, opposite to the expectations, the head drop became smoother and the instability disappeared on the thickened blade inducer. Examination of the pressure distribution on both inducers could not explain the difference. It was pointed out that two-dimensional cavitating flow analyses predict smaller breakdown cavitation number at higher flow rates, if the incidence angle is smaller than half of the blade angle. This causes the positive slope of the performance curve and suggests that the choked surge as observed in the present study might occur in more general cases.

The effects of porous wind fence on the pressure characteristics around a 2-dimensional prism model of triangular cross-section were investigated experimentally. The fence and prism model were embedded in a neutral atmospheric surface boundary layer over the city suburb. In this study, various fences of different porosity, back fence, inclination angle of prism and location of additional back prisms were tested to investigate their effects on the pressure and wall shear stress of the prism surface. The fence and prism had the same height of 40 mm and Reynolds number based on the model height was Re=3.9*10$^{4}$. The porous fence with porosity 40% was found to be the best wind fence for decreasing the mean and pressure fluctuations on the prism surface. By installing the fence of porosity 40%, the wall shear stress on the windward surface of prism was largely decreased up to 1/3 of that without the fence. This indicates that the porous fence is most effective to abate the wind erosion. Pressure fluctuations on the model surface were decreased more than half when a back fence was located behind the prism in addition to the front fence. With locating several back prisms and decreasing the inclination angle of triangular prism, the pressure fluctuations on the model surface were increased on the contrary.

We investigated the spectral characteristics for temperature and driving current change in visible laser diode. As a result of spectrum analysis, the ratio of frequency change for temperature and driving current change were about $33 GHz/^{\circ}C$, 6.6 GHz/mA in the region which was not mode hopping range. Compared to the sharp mode hopping in the near IR single mode AlGaAs lasers, the visible laser diode showed relatively broad multimode operation in the mode hopping region. We performed the experiment of injection-locking characteristics analysis for visible laser diode. Locking half bandwidth(LHBW) was measured 0~5.0 GHz for $0~25\muW$ input power and it was dependent on the input power. Also, LHBW for polarization angle was dependent on the difference of polarization angle between master laser and slave laser. The phase change of injection-locked output beam of the slave laser diode as a function of the drive current was measured in the interferometer which was composed of master laser and slave laser. The ratio of phase change with the slope of 5.0~1.3 rad/mA was obtained within injection-locking range for the change of $2~25\muW$ input power. power.

We report experimental results on 940-nm 350-mW AlGaAs/InGaAs transverse single-mode laser diodes (LDs) adopting graded-index separate confinement heterostructures (GRIN-SCH) and p,n-clad asymmetric structures, with improved temperature and small-divergence beam characteristics under high-output-power operation, for a three-dimensional (3D) motion-recognition sensor. The GRIN-SCH design provides good carrier confinement and prevents current leakage by adding a grading layer between cladding and waveguide layers. The asymmetric design, which differs in refractive-index distribution of p-n cladding layers, reduces the divergence angle at high-power operation and widens the transverse mode distribution to decrease the power density around emission facets. At an optical power of 350 mW under continuous-wave (CW) operation, Gaussian narrow far-field patterns (FFP) are measured with the full width at half maximum vertical divergence angle to be 18 degrees. A threshold current (I_th) of 65 mA, slope efficiency (SE) of 0.98 mW/mA, and operating current (I_op) of 400 mA are obtained at room temperature. Also, we could achieve catastrophic optical damage (COD) of 850 mW and long-term reliability of 60℃ with a TO-56 package.

The purpose of this study was to analyze, from a kinematical point of view, the high jump techniques of three women's high jump winners at the IAAF World Championships, Daegu 2011. The trends for the techniques of the world's top high jumpers were examined, with a view toward adapting these techniques to the physical characteristics of Korean women's high jumpers. It was valuable that Di Martino, who was the shortest in height, was able to win a medal by using a single arm swing take-off technique, along with a half flexed leading leg swing to attain a deep arch and clear the bar. This showed that the world's top athletes used jumping techniques with no decrease in the run-up velocity at the take-off. Furthermore, It appeared that the knee joint angle at take-off had a direct effect on the body position at take-off (H1).
