The semi-solid casting will have a higher internal integrity, mechanical properties and dimensional accuracy than the conventional castings. This process can reduce the manufacturing costs and finished weight for critical components. The semi-solid casting are capable of greater dimensional repeatbility, this supplies considerable savings when extensive machining, salvage and scrap are key variables in the current automotive product. One of the most important factor regarding the semi-solid die casting process are the reheating method of the raw materials to the semi-solid state. Therefore, in this present work, the horizontal type induction heating system to obtain the optimal reheating conditions suitable for semi-solid die casting process was designed and manufactured. And the microstructure of reheated materials was investigated.

A Mobile Ad hoc NETwork(MANET) is a system of wireless mobile nodes that dynamically self-organize in arbitrary and temporary network topologies. In the highly dynamic environment of MANET, energy efficiency is an important performance measure since it directly affects the network lifetime. The failure of energy severely impacts a communications system in crucial communications environments, such as disasters salvage. In this study, we propose a new packet switching routing that can increase the durability of the energy resource and therefore, the lifetime of the mobile nodes and MANET. The performance of the packet switching routing on the node-disjoint multipath and that of AODV are compared by NS2 simulation. The simulation results indicate that this new switching routing can extend the lifetime of a MANET.

In this study, I researched, analysed and compared the examples of civilian maritime search and rescue auxiliaries of world leading countries' such as Japan and America, and the Korean volunteer fire fighting team. Through this, I suggest that the decentralized civilian maritime search and rescue forces of Maritime Rescue and Salvage Association and KCG Civilian Auxiliary should be united into unified search and rescue system and establish legal basis for stabilized support and development. It seem that we should organize laws and regulations for the government to have centralized control of rescue mission as in the cases of America and Canada and elivate rescue mission capability with systemized education and training entrusted to specialized external training organization. I proposed to establish financial support such as fund for the stabilized status of civilian auxiliary, domestic and overseas training session for the civilian auxiliary to inspire integrity and sense of duty as a part of maritime search and rescue forces.

Purpose: To report our opinions of management about avascular necrosis following operative treatment of talar fracture and dislocation. Materials and Methods: We followed up 5 patients who were diagnosed as talar avascular necrosis after operation of talar fracture and dislocation. Clinical and radiological analysis were performed. The mean age of patients was 36 years. There were 4 males and 1 females. The average follow up was 51 months. Hawkins scoring system was used as clinical evaluation. Results: Regardless of radiological sclerotic finding, all patients showed satisfactory clinical result. Despite arthritic change in one patient, there were no further radiological and clinical deterioration to require salvage procedure. Conclusion: Most avascular necrosis after operative treatment of talar fracture and dislocation showed satisfactory result with conservative treatment. Thus, salvage operation such as talectomy or ankle fusion should be reserved in cases of intractable ankle pain and claudication.

Purpose: It has been reported that the ear perfusion can maintain by a very small pedicle because the ear has good vascularized system. Replantation of an amputated ear with vascular anastmosis, has been reported before and offers the succeessful reconstructive results. But, in this paper we report a case of complete nonmicrosurgical salvage of a nearly amputated ear based on 7 mm-wide small skin pedicle with adjunctive therapies. Methods: A 49-year-old man was referred with a nearly complete detachment of left ear. The blood supply to the ear was maintained exclusively on 7 mm-wide small skin pedicle in the lobule. After we identified the fresh bleeding at the distal margin of the detached ear, we performed the primary repair. At the end of the procedure, the areas of the concha bowl and helical root appeared to be congested. So the immediate postoperative treatment for improving the tissue survival was done with Lipo-Prostaglandin E1 (Eglandin$^{(R)}$) injection, leech apply and antibiotics medications. Results: Assessment of the replanted ear on postoperative day 14 revealed a nearly viable auricle including the helical root. The ear appeared to be entirely healed, with excellent projection and fully restored normal elasticity. Conclusion: We found the complete salvage of a nearly amputated ear based on 7 mm-wide small skin pedicle with adjunctive therapies including Lipo-Prostaglandin E1 (Eglandin$^{(R)}$) injection, leech apply and antibiotics without microsurgery.

Purpose : To verify radiological changes of limb salvage operation using tumor prosthesis. Materials and Methods : Sixty-nine cases which used tumor prosthesis were reviewed. They have been followed up for average four years and nine months. We evaluated radiographs by ISOLS(International Symposium On Limb Salvage) radiological implants evaluation system immediate postoperatively, at postoperative 1 year and last follow-up. After converting 'excellent, good, fair, poor' to '4, 3, 2, 1' for stastical analysis, data were analyzed according to the use of cement, anatomical sites, diagnosis implant designs and age (<20 year vs. ${\geq}$20 year) using t-test and ANOVA. Results : The outcomes of cemented type prostheses were superior in remodelling and interface but inferior in anchorage. The scores of proximal femur and distal tibia were worse in bone remodelling. Osteosarcoma group had lower scores in anchorage and implant articular problem. There were no significant differences according to four different implant designs and age. Conclusion : In the intermediate term follow-up radiological evaluation, cemented type prosthesis were better in the aspects of bony resorption and osteolysis, and cementless one in anchorage. Distal femur and proximal tibia have higher scores in bony resorption, and osteosarcoma was worse tumor entity in anchorage and articular problem, and chemotherapy may be the cause.

Purpose : The purpose of the current study is to evaluate the functional and oncologic results of the limb salvage surgery with intramedullary nailing and cementization in malignant bone tumors of the proximal humerus. Materials and Methods : We reviewed 18 cases of limb salvage surgery of resection and reconstruction with an intramedullary nail and cement-molded humeral head for the malignant bone tumors of the proximal humerus, which performed between August, 1992 through the April, 1998. The diagnoses included the osteosarcoma in 7 patients, chondrosarcoma in 3, the recurrent giant cell tumor in 3, metastatic tumor in 3, multiple myeloma in one patient and the one patient with malignant fibrous histiocytoma. The mean age at the time of surgery was 38 years(range, 15-73 years). The mean follow-up period was 26 months(range, 6-67 months). Results : Average functional score by ISOLS evaluation system was 21.1(70.3%). There were 3 local recurrences and 5 distant metastases. There were one case of shoulder instability and one case of deep infection. The seven patients are continuously disease free state and seven patients are alive with disease. Four patients died from the disease. Conclusion : The limb salvage surgery with intramedullary nailing and cementization in the bone tumors of the proximal humerus may be considered an option for the malignant bone tumors of the proximal humerus in selected patients.

Three Inter-Korea summits and a North Korea-USA summit that were previously unexpected provide a basis for an optimistic outlook for the future development of Korean archaeology. While Korean archaeology has witnessed a great advance since the mid-20th century, it also exhibits significant weaknesses in explaining cultural changes in prehistory and the early historical period in the Korean Peninsula due to the paucity of information on archaeological evidence of North Korea. Recent development of favorable conditions for research and excavations of North Korean cultural heritage could be a valuable opportunity for Korean archaeology to overcome the current adversity. Especially, given the expected large-scale SOC industrial project in North Korea, we need to prepare for the systematic research and excavation of archaeological materials. The present essay attempts to provide a suggestion for the joint archaeological expeditions to excavate and manage cultural resources in North Korea based on a critical review of previous salvage excavations in South Korea, such as those conducted before the construction of the Korean rapid transit railway system (KTX). We suggest that professional archaeologists should be included in the project and oversee the planning and design of road and railway constructions and other SOC projects in order to minimize the cost of trial and error processes that were well exemplified by the KTX salvage excavations. The Korean Archaeological Society and North Korean Archaeological Society may organize a common association that will supervise joint archaeological expeditions. Importantly, The Korean Archaeological Society and other related institutions should prepare to build an organization that conducts impending archaeological excavation in North Korea. While we likely face challenges and difficulties during the various stages of archaeological research and excavations in North Korea, only through thorough and systematic preparation can we avoid the destruction of valuable cultural heritage and find an opportunity for the further development of Korean archaeology.
