The histology and anatomy of the olfactory organ in Luciogobius guttatus was investigated using a light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The paired olfactory organs in the dorsal part of the snout are situated in between the upper lip and the eyes. They consist of two nostrils, one anterior and the other posterior openings, and a single olfactory cavity. The anterior nostril, an incurrent opening, forms a short tubular structure from the skin. The posterior nostril, an excurrent opening, forms a circular structure opened to the exterior. The distributional pattern of the sensory epithelium is a continuous type. The sensory epithelium with numerous-motile cilia is made up of receptor cells, supporting cells, basal cells, and mucous cells. In contrast, the non-sensory epithelium is comprised of stratified epithelial cells and two types of mucous cells, acidic and neutral cells. The cilia number of the receptor cell is in range of 3 to 4 units. Such results in L. guttatus may reflect its ecological habit and microhabitat in the tidal zone with a periodic tide.

피로균열 진전시 균열 열림 및 닫힘에 따른 음향방출 특성을 규명하고자 구조용 알루미늄 2024-T4 와 6061-T6 재료에 대해 소형인장 시편에서의 피로균열 진전시 발생되는 AE 특성을 관찰하였으며, 기존의 AE파라미터 분석은 물론 재료의 파단면 분석을 통해 재료특성에 따른 AE 발생거동 사이의 관계를 논의하였다. 대부분의 음향방출 신호는 균열이 열리기 시작하는 위상과 균열이 완전히 닫히는 위상에서 많이 발생되었으며 하중을 최대로 받는 균열 완전 열림에서는 전반적으로 적게 발생됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한 재료에 따라서 균열 완전 열렴 부분에서 발생하는 음향방출 특성은 달라졌으나 각 피로 사이클 주파수 변화 (0.1, 0.2, 1.0Hz)에 따른 결과에서는 통일 재료일 경우 피로 사이클 주파수가 변화하더라도 각 사이클에서의 AE hit 발생 경향용 비슷하게 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과로부터 균열 열림 및 닫힘시 재료 의 미세조직과 기계적 특성인 연장강도와 항복강도에 따라 AE 특성이 달라질 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to determine the average facial proportions and mandibular movement capacity of 316 first-year dental students who carefully recorded them on each other. MATERIALS AND METHODS. This early exacting clinical experience was closely supervised by the authors in Columbus, Ohio during 1969-70. Five vertical and six horizontal distances were measured on each subject's face. An ala-tragus line and an occlusal line were drawn on the left side of the face to determine if these two lines were parallel. Measurements of mandibular movements involved maximum normal and hinge opening at the incisors and maximum amounts of right, left lateral and protrusive excursions of the mandible. RESULTS. The ala width and distance between the tips of upper right and left canine cusps averaged (35.2 mm and 34.8 mm) but with very large individual variations. The distance between ala to occlusal plane lines was 29.9 mm at the tragus and 31.3 mm near the ala. The angle between orbitale and ala-tragus averaged 13.6 degrees. CONCLUSION. The upper lip length was the most variable and the distance between the pupils was the most stable of the eleven facial measurements. The ala-tragus line and the occlusal plane lines were for all practical purposes parallel. Maximum jaw opening averaged 51.2 mm which was 3.0 times larger than maximal hinge opening of 17.2 mm. The maximum right plus left side jaw excursions (9.2 and 9.4 mm) totaled 18.6 mm, 2.3 times more than the 8.0 mm mean maximum forward protrusion.

This paper analyzes the vocal tract area estimation algorithm used as a part of a speech analysis program to help deaf children correct their pronunciations by comparing their vocal tract shape with normal children's. Assuming that a vocal tract is a concatenation of cylinder tubes with a different cross section, we compute the relative vocal tract area of each tube using the reflection coefficients obtained from linear predictive coding. Then, we obtain the absolute vocal tract area by computing the height of lip opening with a formula modified for children's speech. Using the speech data for five Korean vowels (/a/, /e/, /i/, /o/, and /u/), we investigate the effects of the sampling frequency, frame size, and model order on the estimated vocal tract shape. We compare the vocal tract shapes obtained from deaf and normal children's speech.

최근 통신 시스템의 연구와 발전 방향은 목소리의 음성 정보와 말하는 얼굴 영상의 화상 정보를 함께 적용하므로서 음성 정보만을 제공하는 경우보다 높은 인식율을 제공한다. 따라서 본 연구는 청각장애자들의 언어 대체수단 중 하나인 구화(speechreading)에서 가장 시각적 변별력이 높은 입모양 인식을 일반 퍼스널 컴퓨터상에서 구현하고자 한다. 본 논문은 기존의 방법과 달리 말하는 영상 시퀀스에서 입모양 인식을 행하기 위해 3차원 모델을 사용하여 입의 벌어진 정도, 턱의 움직임, 입술의 돌출과 같은 3차원 특징 정보를 제공하였다. 이와 같은 특징 정보를 얻기 위해 3차원 형상 모델을 입력 동영상에 정합시키고 정합된 3차원 형상 모델에서 각 특징점의 변화량을 인식파라미터로 사용하였다. 그리고, 인식단위로 동영상을 분리하는 방법은 3차원 특징점 변화량에서 얻어지는 강도의 기울기에 의하여 이루어지고, 인식은 각각의 3차원 특징벡터를 이산 HMM 인식기의 인식 파라메타로 사용하였다. 본 논문에서는 한국어 10개 모음에 대하여 인식실험하여 비교적 높은 인식율을 얻을 수 있는 것으로 보아 본 연구에서 사용한 특징 벡터를 시간적 변별 요소로서 사용할 수 있음을 제시하였다.

The tegumental ultrastructures oi Echinostoma hortense adults were observed by scanning electron microscopy. The worms of 4 weeks of age were harvested from albino rats experimentally infected with the metacercariae obtained from the loach. The results were as follows: 1. The worms were leaf-like and their anterior end portion, including oral sucker and head crown, ventrally curved to face posteriorly. The tegument of whole body was wrinkled transversely and covered with cobblestone-like cytoplasmic processes. 2. The oral sucker had roundly swollen (type I ) sensory papillae on the ventral half of its lip and mini-ciliated knob-like (type I ) sensory papillae, arranged in 2∼3 rows, on the dorsal outer surface. 3. Aspinous ventral sucker had many of type I papillae arranged in a circular band on its outer surface. The tegument around the genital opening was of similar feature to the ventral sucker, but sensory papillae were hardly found around the former. 4. Scale-like spines with broad base and round tip were distributed densely on the tegument anterior to the ventral sucker but they became sparse in posterior half of the ventral surface, finally to disappear at posterior extremity. A few number of type I papillae were observed on the ventral surface. The results suggest that the tegument of 5. hortense is similar to that of other echinostomes etapecially 5. revolutum. But the number and arrangement of collar spines, and/or the type and distribution of sensory papillae seem characteristic features of E. hortense differed from other echinostomes.

This article reports the orthodontic treatment of a patient with skeletal mandibular retrusion and an anterior open bite due to temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ-OA) using miniscrew anchorage. A 46-year-old woman had a Class II malocclusion with a retropositioned mandible. Her overjet and overbite were 7.0 mm and -1.6 mm, respectively. She had limited mouth opening, TMJ sounds, and pain. Condylar resorption was observed in both TMJs. Her TMJ pain was reduced by splint therapy, and then orthodontic treatment was initiated. Titanium miniscrews were placed at the posterior maxilla to intrude the molars. After 2 years and 7 months of orthodontic treatment, an acceptable occlusion was achieved without any recurrence of TMJ symptoms. The retropositioned mandible was considerably improved, and the lips showed less tension upon lip closure. The maxillary molars were intruded by 1.5 mm, and the mandible was subsequently rotated counterclockwise. Magnetic resonance imaging of both condyles after treatment showed avascular necrosis-like structures. During a 2-year retention period, an acceptable occlusion was maintained without recurrence of the open bite. In conclusion, correction of open bite and clockwise-rotated mandible through molar intrusion using titanium miniscrews is effective for the management of TMJ-OA with jaw deformity.

The author collected and compared midsagittal, coronal, coronal oblique, and transversal images of Korean monophthongs /a, i, e, o, u, i, v/ produced by a healthy male speaker using 1.5 T MR, VISION. Area was measured by computer software after tracing the cross-section at different points along the tract. Results showed that the width of the oral and pharyngeal cavities varied compensatorily from each other on the midsagittal dimension. Formant frequency values estimated from the area functions of the seven vowels showed a strong correlation (r=0.978) with those analyzed from the spoken vowels. Moreover, almost all of 35 students who listened to the synthesized vowels from area data perceived the synthesized vowels as equivalent to the spoken ones. Movement of constriction points of vowel /u/ with wider lip opening sounded /i/ and led to slight changes in vowel quality. Jaw and tongue movement led to major volume variation with an anatomical limitation. Each comer vowel varied systematically from a somewhat constant volume of the average area. Thus, the author proposed that any simulation studies related to vocal tract area variation should reflect its constant volume. The results may be helpful to verify exact measurement of the vocal tract area through vowel synthesis and a simulation study before having any operation of the vocal tract.

Introduction: Endoscope-assisted open reduction and internal fixation (EAORIF) reduces the amount of facial scaring, but limitations, such as the possibility to convert to the open technique and the large learning curve, remain. Materials and Methods: The medical records of 19 patients diagnosed as lateral overridden subcondyle fractures and treated with endoscope-assisted open reduction and internal fixation at Yonsei University Health System from December 2006 to August 2010 were reviewed. Results: 11 patients underwent temporary discomfort or pain such as limitation of mouth opening, temporomandibular joint discomfort, lip paresthesia or facial weakness, but the symptoms disappeared within 3 months. There was no severe long-term complication except 2 patients with re-fractures of operated subcondyles. Conclusion: Subcondyle fracture with lateral overridden proximal segment is a better indication of endoscope-assisted open reduction and internal fixation than a condylar head/neck fracture, or medial overridden subcondyle fracture: allowing an anatomic reduction.
