In-Ceram system is one of contemporary esthetic all ceramic restorations and has relatively high flexural strength. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the marginal fit of In-Ceram crown according to shoulder width and measuring position. In this study, twenty seven In-Ceram crowns devided into three groups, each prepared with shoulder width of 0.6mm, 0.9mm and 1.2mm. All specimens were cemented with glass ionomer cement. After cementation, specimens were measured marginal gap between the margin of the In-Ceram crown and the finishing line of resin master die by using a refrective microscope. Marginal gaps were recorded at the labial, lingual, mesial and distal measuring points on the resin master die. The results of this study were as follows: 1. Mean marginal fits of each group were $81.28{\mu}m$ in 0.6mm shoulder width, $70.78{\mu}m$ in 0.9mm shoulder width and $67.75{\mu}m$ in 1.2mm shoulder width. 2. There was significant difference between group 0.6mm and 0.9mm, 1.2mm.(p<0.05). 3. In comparison of marginal fit according to the measuring points, there was no significant difference.

Marjolin's ulcer is a rare and often-aggressive cutaneous malignancy that arises in previously traumatized or chronically inflamed skin, particularly after burns. We experienced two cases after burns. Case I involved a forty eight year-old man who had suffered from a flame burn at the parietal scalp area, where had been initially described three years earlier as a full-thickness wound including the pericranium. The man consulted us for a persistent ulcerative and infected wound on the burned lesion during the last 24 months, which turned out on the contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to be the squamous cell carcinoma with involving the skull and the dura mater. Although the posterior auricular lymph node was enlarged on the ipsilateral side, recent positron emission tomography (PET) CT did not show any metastatic lesion. It was impossible for us to resect the intracranial involvement of the tumor radically, and the postoperative PET CT still showed a focal fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake around the wall of the superior sagittal sinus. We think that an aggressive combined approach is essential for treatment in early stages for a high success rate, before the intracranial structures are involved because there is no consensus on the treatment for advanced disease, and the results are generally poor. Case 1 also did not involve a radical resection because of the intracranial invasion to the wall of superior sagittal sinus and the possibility of damage to the major cortical veins. He received adjuvant radiotherapy and must be followed periodically. Case 2 involved an eighty six year-old women who suffered from a painful scalp ulcer lesion after flame burns three years earlier. Unlike case 1, neither tumor infiltration into the dura nor lymph node enlargement was observed on the contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or positron emission tomography (PET) CT. We did a radical resection of the tumor, including the involved bone, and a cranioplasty with bone cement.

The purpose of this study was to estimate the changes of tensile bond strength according to the difference in lining materials and lining area. Seventy non-carious extracted human molars were used in the present study, and they were randomly assigned into 2 experimental groups according to the difference in lining materials. Each experimental group was subdivided into 3 groups according to the difference in lining area. Circular cavities were prepared on the dentin surface to a diameter of 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm and the prepared cavities were filled with Fuji II LC( Glass Ionomer Cement : GIC) or Dycal. Dentin specimens without circular cavity were used as control group. The primer and bonding agent of All-Bond 2 and composite resin (Z-100, 3M Dental Products, U. S. A.) were applied to the exposed dentin surface with or without lining. Tensile bond strengths for the experimental specimens were then measured. To examine the interface between dentin and liner & between liner and composite resin, two specimens from each group were fabricated and observed under the SEM. The results were as follows. 1. Tensile bond strength for the specimens lined with GIC was higher than that for specimens lined with Dycal. However, there was no significant difference between two groups(p>0.05). 2. Tensile bond strength for the specimens lined with GIC in a diameter of 1.5mm(GIC-1.5mm lining group) was statistically higher than that for the GIC-2.0mm lining group and GIC-2.5mm lining group(p<0.05). 3. Tensile bond strength for the specimens lined with Dycal in a diameter of 2.5mm (Dycal-2.5mm lining group)was statistically lower than that for Dycal-1.5mm lining group and Dycal-2.0mm lining group(p<0.05). 4. It was possible to observe the good adhesion of the resin composite to the GIC and the presence of a fissure between GIC and dentin all along the interface. Interfacial gaps of 7.2-$72.2{\mu}m$ between GIC and dentin were observed. The interfacial gap between GIC and dentin at the cavity base was greater. However, the gap was gradually decreased toward the occlusal portion. 5. It was possible to observe the poor adhesion of the resin composite to the Dycal. The detachment of Dycal was occurred all along the composite resin-Dycal interface, and the gaps of 2.0-$30.1{\mu}m$ were formed. In all the specimens, polymerization shrinkage of resin composite caused the detachment of Dycal from the body of Dycal. At a Dycal-dentin interface. it was possible to observe the good adhesion. but poor adhesion with interfacial gap of 2.9-$26.8{\mu}m$ was observed partially.

In this study, EMP shielding performance was evaluated using electric furnace oxidized slag to give EMP shielding performance to concrete among the most used materials in construction sites. As a result of the evaluation, the component of the electric furnace oxidation slag was found to have an Fe₂O₃ content of 34%, and it was also found to contain an MgO component of about 4.8%. In addition, as a result of conducting an aggregate stability evaluation due to concerns about expansion due to MgO components, it is considered to be suitable for the KS standard. EMP shielding performance evaluation result showed that there was no correlation in EMP shielding performance according to compressive strength, and that general aggregates did not have EMP shielding. However, it was found that the aggregate using the furnace oxidized slag had excellent EMP shielding performance, and the shielding performance improved as the thickness increased. As a result of the durability evaluation, it was found that the EMP shielding concrete has the durability of abortion compared to the general concrete. Through this, it is thought that it will be good to improve the shielding rate if concrete is manufactured using electric furnace oxide slag when constructing EMP shielding structures in the future.

The objective of this study is to develop the existing drainage system for catching the partial leakage of tunnel structures operating in cold region. The drainage system consists of drainage board, Hotty-gel as a waterproofing material, cover for preventing protrusion of Hotty-gel, air nailer, fixed nail, pipe for collecting ground leak, pipe for conveying ground leak, wire-mesh, and sprayed cement mortar. The drainage systems were installed in conventional concrete lining tunnels to evaluate the site applicability and constructability. The performances of waterproof and the drainage in the drainage system were evaluated by injecting 1,000 ml of red water in the back of the drainage system at 7 days, 14 days, 21 days, 28 days, 2 months, 3 months, 4 months, 5 months, 6 months, 7 months and 8 months. During 8 months of field test, the average daily temperature of the tunnel site was measured from $-16.0^{\circ}C$ to $25.6^{\circ}C$. The daily minimum temperature was $-21.3^{\circ}C$ and the daily maximum temperature was $30.8^{\circ}C$. There was no problem in waterproof and drainage performance of the drainage board in the drainage system. However, the pipe for conveying ground leak had the leakage problem from 14 days. It is considered that the leakage of the pipe for conveying ground leak was caused by the deformation of the pipe of the flexible plastic material having a thickness of 0.2 cm by using the high pressure air nailer and the fixing pin and the insufficient thickness and width of the hotty-gel for preventing the leakage.

In order to fulfill the obligation to voluntarily reduce greenhouse gas emissions under the Paris Climate Agreement, the proportion of coal and nuclear power generation is reduced worldwide and national efforts are being made to spread renewable energy including solar power generation. Korea also intends to increase the proportion of renewable energy generation to 30~35% by 2040 by introducing laws and regulations. In addition, while the country is trying to apply solar power generation to sidewalks and roads, there is no research related to it in Korea. Therefore, as a precedent study to develop solar power generation roads, solar power generation concrete blocks applicable to sidewalks and plazas were developed and the applicability was evaluated by constructing them on the site. As a result of indoor experiment, compressive strength was measured by 25.5~35.7MPa and flexural strength was measured by 5.1~10.5MPa, which showed that all domestic standards were satisfied. However, the higher the unit cement amount, the lower the strength was measured according to the mixing of the broken fine aggregate. The absorption rate was 5.7%, which satisfied the domestic standard of 7% or less. As a result of the freeze-thawing test, the reduction rate of the compressive strength after 100 cycles was up to 6.3%. As a result of measuring the settlement amount after construction, the maximum of 2.498mm was measured and irregular settlement occurred in the overall area, which is because the resolution of the sand layer was poor during construction. Maintenance techniques of sidewalk concrete block and solar panel need to be established more efficiently through long-term operation in the further.

Biomass is an abundant renewable energy resource that can replace fossil fuels for the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG). Indonesia has a large number of cheap biomass feedstocks, such as reforestation (waste wood) and palm residues (empty fruit bunch or EFB). In general, raw biomass contains more than 20% moisture and lacks calorific value, energy density, grindability, and combustion efficiency. Those properties are not acceptable fuel attributes as the conditions currently stand. Recently, torrefaction facilities, especially in European countries, have been built to upgrade raw biomass to solid fuel with high quality. In Korea, there is no significant market for torrefied solid fuel (co-firing) made of biomass residues, and only the wood pellet market presently thrives (~ 2 million ton yr-1). However, increasing demand for an upgraded solid fuel exists. In Indonesia, torrefied woody residues as co-firing fuel are economically feasible under the governmental promotion of renewable energy such as in feed-in-tariff (FIT). EFB, one of the chief palm residues, could replace coal in cement kiln when the emission trading system (ETS) and clean development mechanism (CDM) system are implemented. However, technical issues such as slagging (alkali metal) and corrosion (chlorine) should be addressed to utilize torrefied EFB at a pulverized coal boiler.

In this study, the hydration and carbonation properties of circulating fluidized bed boiler (CFBC) ash with different free-CaO contents were investigated. In addition, the possibility of utilizing CFBC ash with a high free-CaO content as a cementitious material was investigated by carbonation curing as a pretreatment. The CFBC ash with high free-CaO content exhibited rapid setting behavior and low early compressive strength when mixed with cement. For CFBC ash with high free-CaO content, carbon dioxide capture increased with the duration of carbonization curing. In addition, the free-CaO value decreased together, indicating that the free-CaO reacted with carbon dioxide. When the CFBC ash with high free-CaO content was pretreated by carbonation, no fresh set appeared, and the initial compressive strength was improved. From the results of this study, it is confirmed that CFBC ash with high free-CaO content has a high potential to be utilized as a cementitious material through proper carbonation curing.

Purpose: To evaluate the axial displacement of implant-abutment assembly after cyclic loading in internal tapered connection system. Materials and methods: External butt-joint connection implant and internal tapered connection implant were connected with three types of abutment for cement-retained prostheses, i.e. external type abutment (Ext group), internal tapered 1-piece abutment (Int-1 group), and internal tapered 2-piece abutment (Int-2 group). For each group, 7 implants and abutments were used. The implantabutments assemblies were clamped into the implant holder for vertical loads. A dynamic cyclic loading was applied for $150{\pm}10N$ at a frequency of 4 Hz. The amount of axial displacement of the abutment into the implant was calculated at each cycle of 0, 5, 10, 50, 100, 1,000, 5,000, and 10,000. A repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) for the overall effect of cyclic loading and the pattern analysis by linear mixed model were used for statistical analysis. Differences at P<.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: The mean axial displacement after 10,000 cycles were $0.714{\pm}0.488{\mu}m$ in Ext group, $5.286{\pm}1.604{\mu}m$ in Int-1 group, and $11.429{\pm}1.902{\mu}m$ in Int-2 group. In the pattern analysis, Int-1 and Int-2 group showed continuous axial displacement at 10,000 cycles. There was no declining pattern of axial displacement in the Ext group. Conclusion: The pattern of linear mixed model in Ext group showed no axial displacement. There were continuous axial displacements in abutment-implant assemblies in the Int-1 and Int-2 group at 10,000 cycles. More axial displacement was found in Int-2 group than in Int-1 group.
