This study was based on the study models of 32 subjects with normal occlusion, 40 with Class I malocclusion, 32 with Class II, Division 1 malocclusion and 38 with Class III malocclusion, aged 12 to 20 years (mean age 16.4 years). The purpose of present study was to define the difference between normal and malocclusion groups in maxillary dental arch and palate. On the basis of findings of this study, the following results were obtained. 1. The intermolar widths and the intercanine widths in Class II, Div. 1 malocclusion group were smaller than in normal occlusion group significantly. 2. The arch lengths measured in both Class I and Class II, Div.1 malocclusion groups were larger than in normal occlusion group. 3. The palates in Class I and Class II, Div. 1 malocclusion groups were longer and narrower than in normal occlusion, but the palates in Class III malocclusion group were shorter than in normal occlusion group significantly. 4. The palatal depths measured at level 1 in Class III malocclusion group were significantly higher than in normal occlusion and in Class II, Div. 1 group they were significantly higher than in normal occlusion at level 2 and 3. 5. The measurements of palatal areas at various levels showed no significant difference between malocclusion and normal occlusion groups. 6. The palatal indies 1 (palatal length / palatal width) measured in both Class I and Class II, Div. 1 malocclusion groups were significantly greater than in normal occlusion and the palatal indice 2 (palatal depth at level 1/palatal width) measured in all malocclusion groups are greater than in normal occlusion. 7. It was determined from findings of this study that the measurements of maxillary dental arch and palate were influenced to a considerable extent by the molar relationship.

This paper presents recognition of high impedance fault patterns based of chaotic features using the Radial Basis Function Network(RBFN). The chaos attractor is reconstructed from the fault current data for pattern recognition. The RBFN successfully classifies the three kinds of fault pattems and one normal pattem.

This paper presents an effective multiplier in GF($2^m$) based on programmable cellular automata (PCA) and uses a normal basis. The proposed architecture has the advantage of high regularity and a reduced latency. The proposed architecture can be used in the effectual hardware design of exponentiation, division, inversion architectures.

Objectives : High-normal blood pressure' is a factor influencing decision to initiate targeted intensive intervention strategy in westernized populations. JNC-VI offered the vigorous lifestyle modification for persons with 'high-normal blood pressure', who could be early detected. As a hypertension seems to be the result of multiple genetic factors operating in concert with associated environmental factors, it will be necessary to identify the high-normal blood pressure as a risk factor of hypertension for applying primary prevention strategy in Korean people. Methods : Although cohort study design might be adequate to recruit incidence cases, to keep time sequence of events, and to prevent information bias, nested case-control study was chosen for avoiding measurement errors because hypertension is a benign disease. Source population was the 'Seoul Cohort' participants and follow-up was done by using Korea Medical Insurance Corporation's database on the utilization of health services from 1 Jan93 to 30Jun97. Incidence cases were ascertained through the chart review, telephone contacts, and direct blood pressure measurements. Controls included the pairing of 4 individuals to each case on the basis of age. Results : As 75% of 247 incident cases had high-normal blood pressure, the crude odds ratio for hypertension was 2.04 (95% CI 1.47-2.83). Another statistically significant risk factors of hypertension were body mass index, dietary fiber, alcohol consumption, weekly activity and history of quitting smoking. The multivariate odds ratio of high-normal blood pressure adjusted for all risk factors was 1.84 (95% CI 1.31-2.56). Among high-normal blood pressure group, body mass index, weekly ethanol amounts, weekly physical activity, and dietary fiber except history of quitting smoking were still risk factors of hypertension. Conclusion : 'High-normal blood pressure' is a risk factor for hypertension in Korean middle-aged men, which represents that the vigorous lifestyle modification for persons with 'high-normal blood pressure' is need.

This study was performed to verify the craniofacial skeletal characteristics in anterior openbite group, in contrast to normal occlusion group, and also to find out, vertical factors which shows, correlate to the amount of anterior openbite. 21 individuals, including 10 males and 11 females, without orthodontic treatment history and anterior - posterior skeletal malrelationships, were selected and analyzed basic morphology and vertical factors, using standard lateral cephalogram. The obtained results as follows: 1. Comparison of anterior open-bite group with normal occlusion group using Moyers analysis. a) In basis morphologic analysis, Ba-SE-Me was lesser and Ba-SE-Mn. P. and Mn.P/A-B were greater in both sexes of anterior openbite group than in normal occlusion group. b) In angle measurements of vertical analysis, PMV/Pal. P. was lesser in male anterior openbite group and PMV/Occ. P. and PMV/Mn. P. were greater in both sexes of anterior openbite group than in normal occlusion group. c) In height ratio of vertical analysis, ATFH/PTFH and ALFH/ATFH were greater in both sexes of anterior openbite group than in normal occlusion group. 2. The amount of anterior openbite was correlated with PMV/Occ. P. and PMV/Mn. P.

Surface normal vector and surface velocity are very important parameters to simulate rolling processes precisely. In this study, Local displacement functions are constructed for each node on the contact surface and parameters are found by the least square fitting of displacement on the neighbor nodes. Deformation gradient tensor is calculated from the displacement function and surface normal vector and velocity also can be derived. Flat rolling simulation model is presented on the basis of the suggested contact scheme. Series of rolling process simulation are carried out and the results are compared with the experiments.

In this paper, a laryngeal function identification system based-on the EGG signal is proposed as the decision basis whether the laryngeal function is normal or abnormal. The normal EGG signal is approved an autoregressive model which has the optimal order of 9. It can be analized by determining the transfer function. But it is not meaningful that the determi- nation is made using the transfer function of an autoregressive model on the abnormal EGG signal. The power spectral analysis was applied to discriminate the normal or abnormal cases. The SNR of the EGG signal was enhanced by the optimal position of electrodes.

Generally, diaphragms are installed in the box girder to prevent or decrease the distortion of the cross section. In engineering practice, diaphragms are spaced in 5m intervals without reasonable basis. the usual diaphragm type is solid-plate type. It is considered to be noneconomical design to the almost design engineers. In this paper, the parametric study was performed to present the design proposal about the diaphragm stiffness and spacing only in the single cell box girder. For that, the distortional warping normal stress, bending normal stress and transverse bending normal stress were analyzed using finite element program 'SMB' for the accurate structural analysis.

Gait control capacity for most trans-femoral prostheses is significantly different from that of a normal person, and training is required for a long period of time in order for a patient to walk properly. People become easily tired when wearing a prosthesis or orthosis for a long period typically because the gait angle cannot be smoothly adjusted during wearing. Therefore, to improve the gait control problems of a trans-femoral prosthesis, the proper gait angle is estimated through surface EMG(electromyogram) signals on a normal leg, then the gait posture which the trans-femoral prosthesis should take is calculated in the neural network, which learns the gait kinetics on the basis of the normal leg's gait angle. Based on this predicted angle, a postural control method is proposed and tested adaptively following the patient's gait habit based on the predicted angle. In this study, the gait angle prediction showed accuracy of over $97\%$, and the posture control capacity of over $90\%$.
