본 연구는 3차원 유한요소 몸통 모델을 이용한 제세동 시뮬레이션 연구로서, 제세동 자극인가시 임상에서 사용되는 세가지 전극의 위치와 크기가 심장에서의 전류밀도 분포특성에서 미치는 영향과 시뮬레이션에 사용되는 조직의 비저항 값이 시뮬레이션 결과에 미치는 영향에 대하여 시뮬레이션 하였다. 몸통 모델은 타원형 실린더를 사용하여 흉곽을 모델링하였고, 나머지 부분은 Visible Human의 2차원 영상들을 통하여 3차원 모델링을 하였다. 그리고, ANSYS 5.4를 통하여 유한요소의 전류밀도 해를 구하였다. AP(anterior-posterior) 전극 위치의 경우, 몸통 표면에서 인가한 전류가 가장 효과적으로 심장으로 흘러들어 갔으며, LL(Lateral-lateral) 전극 AP(anterior-posterior) 전극 위치의 경우, 몸통 표면에서 인가한 전류가 가장 효과적으로 심장으로 흘러들어갔으며, LL(lateral-lateral) 전극위치는 가장 균일한 전류밀도 분포특성을 나타내었다. 그러나, 전극의 크기변화는 전류밀도 분포특성에 거의 영향을 주지 않았다. 조직의 비저항 값의 변화에 대한 전류밀도 분포 실험결과는 심근의 비저항 값의 변화가 최소·평균·최대 전류밀도 해에 가장 큰 영향을 주었다.

Lateral epicondylitis, also known as 'tennis elbow', is a degenerative rather than inflammatory tendinopathy, causing chronic recalcitrant pain in elbow joints. Although most patients with lateral epicondylitis resolve spontaneously or with standard conservative management, few refractory lateral epicondylitis are candidates for alternative non-operative and operative modalities. Other than standard conservative treatments including rest, analgesics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, orthosis and physical therapies, nonoperative treatments encompass interventional therapies include different types of injections, such as corticosteroid, lidocaine, autologous blood, platelet-rich plasma, and botulinum toxin, which are available for both short-term and long-term outcomes in pain resolution and functional improvement. In addition, newly emerging biologic enhancement products such as bone marrow aspirate concentrate and autologous tenocyte injectates are also under clinical use and investigations. Despite all non-operative therapeutic trials, persistent debilitating pain in patients with lateral epicondylitis for more than 6 months are candidates for surgical treatment, which include open, percutaneous, and arthroscopic approaches. This review addresses the current updates on emerging non-operative injection therapies as well as arthroscopic intervention in lateral epicondylitis.

금속 유도 측면 결정화 (Metal-Induced Lateral Crystallization; MILC)에 의해 저온다결정 실리콘 박막트랜지스터를 형성할 때 Ni박막을 게이트와 소오스/드레인간 경계로부터 거리를 달리하여 형성한 뒤 결정화시킴으로써 소오스와 드레인으로부터 결정화가 진행되어 서로 만나는 경계 면을 채널 내부 외부에 인위적으로 위치시킬 수 있었고 이들의 전기적 특성비교를 통하여 MILC경계가 트랜지스터 특성에 미치는 영향을 고찰할 수 있었다. MILC 경계를 채널 내부로부터 제거시킴으로써 On Current, Subthreshold slope 특성을 향상시킬 수 있었고 누설전류 특성도 크게 향상시킬 수 있었다. 채널 내부에 MILC 경계가 존재할 경우 전기적 스트레스를 인가함에 따라 누설전류의 양이 감소하였고, 전체 감소량은 채널 폭이 넓을수록 증가하였고 채널길이에는 무관하였다.

Based on limit equilibrium principles, this study presents a theoretical derivation of a new analytical formulation for estimating magnitude and lateral earth pressure distribution on a retaining wall subjected to seismic loads. The proposed solution accounts for failure wedge inclination, unit weight and friction angle of backfill soil, wall roughness, and horizontal and vertical seismic ground accelerations. The current analysis predicts a nonlinear lateral earth pressure variation along the wall with and without seismic loads. A parametric study is conducted to examine the influence of various parameters on lateral earth pressure distribution. Findings reveal that lateral earth pressure increases with the increase of horizontal ground acceleration while it decreases with the increase of vertical ground acceleration. Compared to classical theory, the position of resultant lateral earth force is located at a higher distance from wall base which in turn has a direct impact on wall stability and economy. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the computations of lateral earth pressure distribution based on the suggested analytical method.

Field measurements were conducted to analysis lateral dynamic characteristics of existing steel plate girder railway bridges without ballast. Three bridges which have 9m, 12m, 18m span length in Kyoung-Bu Line were selected for test. According to the each bridge, dynamic lateral deflections and accelerations were measured. From the present study, it was observed that dynamic lateral amplification phenomena caused by a fluctuation of lateral force were occurred under the current running circumstances. Lateral deflections were occurred below than that specified in Korean railway bridge specification, but lateral accelerations is a match for vertical accelerations. From now on, it is in need a plan to reduce lateral accelerations for the conventional railway Line speed up.

The latch-up current and switching characteristics of MOS-Controlled Thyristor(MCT) are studied with variation of the channel length and impurity concentration. The proposed MCT power device has the lateral structure and P-epitaxial layer in substrate. Two dimensional MEDICI simulator is used to study the latch-up current and forward voltage-drop from the characteristics of I-V and the switching characteristics with variation of impurity concentration. The channel length and impurity concentration of the proposed MCT power device show the strong affect on the anode current and turn-off time. The increase of impurity concentration in P and N channels is found to give the increase of latch-up current and forward voltage-drop.

In this paper, we discuss design considerations for an n-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) with a lateral asymmetric channel (LAC) doping profile. We employed a $0.35\;{\mu}m$ standard complementary MOSFET process for fabrication of the devices. The gates to the LAC doping overlap lengths were 0.5, 1.0, and $1.5\;{\mu}m$. The drain current ($I_{ON}$), transconductance ($g_m$), substrate current ($i_{SUB}$), drain to source leakage current ($i_{OFF}$), and channel-hot-electron (CHE) reliability characteristics were taken into account for optimum device design. The LAC devices with shorter overlap lengths demonstrated improved $I_{ON}$ and $g_m$ characteristics. On the other hand, the LAC devices with longer overlap lengths demonstrated improved CHE degradation and $I_{OFF}$ characteristics.

A new vertical power MOSFET with over-current protection capability is proposed. The MOSFET consists of main power MOSFET cell, sensing MOSFET cell and lateral npn bipolar transistor. The proposed MOSFET may be fabricated by a conventional DMOS process without any additional fabrication step. Overcurrent state is sensed by the newly designed lateral bipolar transistor. Mixed-mode simulations proved that the overcurrent protection is achieved by the proposed MOSFET successfully with a small protection area less than 0.2 % of the total die area.

Design equations for calculating the lateral-torsional buckling moment resistances of I-section beams with continuous lateral top-flange bracing subjected to several loading conditions are investigated based on elastic finite-element analyses. The equations presented in this study are compared with current moment gradient modifiers presented by other researchers and specifications. The equation suggested in the SSRC Guides(1998) has a good agreement with the results of finite-element analyses. The moment gradient correction factors proposed in the SSRC Guides(1998) should be easily used to calculate the lateral-torsional buckling moment resistance of I-beams with continuous lateral top-flange bracing.

Meralgia paresthetica is a disorder characterized by a pain or dysaesthesia, or both, in the anterolateral aspect of the thigh caused by entrapment or neurinoma formation of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve. Currently available modes of therapy include conservative treatment, lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block with steroids and local anesthetics, and surgery. At our neuro-pain clinic, w recently encountered three cases of meralgia paresthetica, all of which were treated by lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block. In which of them, two cases were successfully treated but one case was associate with pain relapse due to entrapment of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve by a retroperitoneal mass, schwannoma. In this paper we report our experience along with a review of the current literatures.
