Cleft lip and palate are most common congenital deformity to affect the orofacial region. Cleft lip and palate are caused by abnormal development of primary and secondary palate. It's causative mechanism is not completely understood, but genetic and environmental factors play an important role. Many epidemiologic surveys have been done extensively about incidence, racial influence, sex ratio, parent age, associated syndrome, and genetic factors. These researches are useful to dissolve many problems in prevention and treatment of cleft lip and palate. We performed epidemiologic survey of cleft lip and palate who visited the department of Oral & Maxillofacial surgery, Guro Hospital of Korea University from 1995 to 2001.

Toluene adsorption characteristics in the adsorption bed packed with activated carbon fiber (ACF) were studied. Experimental apparatus is composed of VOC generation equipment, adsorption bed, and analytical instrument. Breakthrough characteristics were investigated with length of the adsorption bed which consisted of 3 or 5 sheets of the ACF and flow rate when toluene concentration are 400 ppm and 800 ppm respectively. When mass transfer zone (MTZ) comes out of the adsorption bed, toluene concentration is increased sharply and reached plateau region by saturation. Experimental results are compared with semi-empirical gas adsorption model proposed by Yoon and Nelson. In order to investigate the movement of the MTZ with adsorption time in the adsorption bed packed with ACFs, weight increment of each ACF was measured with the location of ACF at each run. When the weight increment of ACF by toluene adsorption which located at the exit of the bed reaches about 20%, toluene started to be detected.

We developed a photometric pipeline to be used for a wide field survey. This pipeline employs the difference image analysis (DIA) method appropriate for the photometry of star dense field such as the Galactic bulge. To verify the performance of pipeline, the observed dataset of the open cluster M11 was re-processed. One hundred seventy eight variable stars were newly discovered by analyzing the light curves of which photometric accuracy was improved through the DIA. The total number of variable stars in the M11 observation region is 335, including 157 variable stars discovered by previous studies. We present the catalogue and light curves for the 178 variable stars. This study shows that the photometric pipeline using the DIA is very useful in the detection of variable stars in a cluster.

This paper presents a new design of magnetic bearing structure for application in Nuclear Power Plant (NPP). The proposed design includes so-called saturated coils which is used to generate the bias flux for bearing almost the whole mass of the rotor, and so-called linear auxiliary coil controlled to stabilize the suspension. The saturated coil is considered as an special electromagnet which is controlled to operate in the region of magnetic saturation in order to minimize the bias current as well as to enhance the magnetic flux density. This strategy will result in a very compact size of magnetic bearing as well as increasing the speed of the response of the current controller. The novel structure is expected to be applied to design very high power gas turbine generator of next generation of fast reactor in which the mass of rotor can reach 50 tons. The total power of the NPP can reach 2,000 MW. Moreover, the issue of arc occurrence between coils is also discussed and two solutions are proposed.

Steep slope disasters accompany economic loss along with casualties, so the evaluation and the systematic management on the regions with slope collapse danger are required. A lot of manpower, time, and economic cost are needed to accumulate disaster history of steep slope areas by the national and small-sized region. As the method for this, it construed location data about each area with disaster occurrence by maknd elocation data of collapsed steep areas through high-resolution satellite image and collectnd edata on the regions with disasters through media and literature data such as a disaster annual report and a disaster comprehensive report. The study selected three shortest routes includnd ethe area with disaster in Jeolla province on literature and the collapsed area found by the image data, and constructed the results of the field survey as database.

Recently, Choe & Cheng (2002) have demonstrated that multiple magnetic flux systems with closed configurations can have more magnetic energy than the corresponding open magnetic fields. In relation to this issue, we have addressed two questions: (1) how much fraction of eruptive solar active regions shows multiple flux system features, and (2) what winding angle could be an eruption threshold. For this investigation, we have taken a sample of 105 front-side halo CMEs, which occurred from 1996 to 2001, and whose source regions were located near the disk center, for which magnetic polarities in SOHO/MDI magnetograms are clearly discernible. Examining their soft X-ray images taken by Yohkoh SXT in pre-eruption stages, we have classified these events into two groups: multiple flux system events and single flux system events. It is found that 74% (78/105) of the sample events show multiple flux system features. Comparing the field configuration of an active region with a numerical model, we have also found that the winding angle of the eruptive flux system is slightly above $1.5{\pi}$.

The present study aimed to evaluate control efficacy of clonorchiasis by two schemes of repeated treatment with praziquantel at two endemic villages in China. Residents of one village at Guangxi Autonomous Region were treated and examined 6-monthly and of another at Liaoning Province 12-monthly, In residents that took 25 mg/kg x3 (total 75 mg/kg) of Praziquantel every 6 months for one Year the e99 Positive rate showed a significant drop from 69.0% to 17.1%. In contrast, a group of same praziquantel medication once showed a slight marginal decrease in the egg rate from 18.9% to 12.2% after one year Of 39 subjects examined 3 times, 56.4% were cured, 7.7% persistently positive, one (2.6%) reinfected after cure or newly infected, but 25.6% were persistently negative. The present finding suggests that 6-monthly medication with 75 mg/kg of praziquantel should effectively lower the prevalence but incomplete for control of clonorchiasis in heavy endemic areas.

Intraosseous hemangioma is an extremely rare tumor that accounts for 1% or fewer of all osseous tumors. The most common sites of its occurrence are the vertebral column and calvaria. Occurrence in a facial bone is very rare. The authors aim to report a case of the surgical treatment of intraosseous hemangioma occurring in the periorbital region, which is a very rare site of occurrence and to introduce our own experiences with the diagnosis and treatment of this condition along with a literature review. A 73-year-old male patient visited our hospital with the chief complaint of a mass touching the left orbital rim. A biopsy was performed by applying a direct incision after local anesthesia. Eventually, intraosseous hemangioma was diagnosed histologically. To fully resect the mass, the orbital floor and zygoma were exposed through a subciliary incision under general anesthesia, and then the tumor was completely eliminated. Bony defect was reconstructed by performing a seventh rib bone graft. Follow-up observation has so far been conducted for 10 months after surgery without recurrence or symptoms.
