Rapid Prototyping(RP) has been widely applied in designing and developing process of new products. RP can reduce the lead time and expense required to bring a new product form initial concept to production. Among several RP process can dramatically reduce the total build time and be applied for fabrication of large-sized and free form object because it uses in LOM the paper thickness is 0.05∼0.38mm as deposition feature segment. In this study, mechanical properties of pattern with LOM system is studied for optimal design of sand mold casting. The main result is that tensile, compressive strength and pattern size are significantly affected by temperature of hot roll.

Diamond tools with several layers of diamond grits through thickness direction were tested by sawing. The saw blades with evenly distributed grits showed better cutting performance compared to the random distributed saw. At a given concentration of grits, as the spacing between layers was increased, the cutting performance was improved, and as decreased, it showed more tool life

This paper presents a study on the design parameters that consider the magnetic saturation effect in a rotor core of a synchronous reluctance motor. Two important design parameters in a rotor are selected to analyze the saturation effect of a synchronous reluctance motor, particularly in a rotor core. The thickness of the main segment, which is the main path of the d-axis flux, and the end rip, which affects the q-axis flux, are analyzed using the d-axis and q-axis inductances. Moreover, the characteristics of torque and torque ripple when magnetic saturation takes place are analyzed. The saturation effect is verified by comparing the reluctance torque between the experiment and FEM simulation.

The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship between the form of the clinical crowns in the maxillary anterior segment and the clinical feature of gingiva such as morphological characteristics and the gingival thickness. Fifty periodontally healthy subjects were clinically examined regarding the probing depth, the thickness of the free gingiva, and the width of the keratinized gingiva. From study models of the maxillary anterior region, the width at cervical third(CW) and the length(CL) of the clinical crown, the papillary height, and the gingival angle of the 6 anterior teeth were measured. Each tooth was classified into 4 groups (longnarrow, NL; narrow, N; wide, W; short-wide, WS) according to CW/CL ratio and all the data were compared between groups NL and WS using independent t-test. Stepwise multiple regression analysis was performed for each tooth region with the gingival thickness at the level of sulcus bottom, the width of keratinized gingiva, and gingival angle as the dependent variables. As the results, the NL group of the upper anterior teeth displayed, higher papilla height, and narrower keratinized gingiva, more acute gingival angle resulting in pronounced "scalloped" contour of the gingival margin, compared to the WS group. There was no significant difference between groups NL and WS with respect to probing depth and the gingival thickness. The regression analyses demonstrated that the gingival thickness in central incisors was significantly associated to the mesio-distal width and bucco-lingual width of the crown, and labial probing depth. The width of keratinized gingiva was significantly associated with labial probing depth in central incisors and with proximal probing depth and gingival angle in lateral incisors, and with labial and proximal probing depth, and gingival angle in canines. The gingival angle was significantly associated with papillary height and CW/CL ratio and additionally with proximal probing depth in central incisors, with the width of keratinized gingiva in lateral incisors, and with labial probing depth and the width of keratinized gingiva in canines. These results indicate that the form of clinical crown in upper anterior region could influence the clinical feature of gingiva and the influencing factors might be different according to the tooth region.

The excavation broken zones (EBZ) of gateways is a significant factor in determining the stability of man-made opening. The EBZ of 55 gateways with variety geological conditions were measured using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). The results found that the greatly depth of EBZ, the smallest is 1.5 m and the deepest is 3.5 m. Experimental investigations were carried out in the laboratory and in the coal mine fields for applying the combined arch support theory to large EBZ. The studies found that resin bolts with high tensile strength and good bond force could provide high pretension force with bolt extensible anchorage method in the field. Furthermore, the recently invented torque amplifier could greatly improve the bolt pretension force in poor lithology. The FLAC3D numerical simulation found that the main diffusion sphere of pretension force was only in the free segment zone of the surrounding rock. Further analysis found that the initial load-bearing zone thickness of the combined arch structure in large EBZ could be expressed by the free segment length of bolt. The using of high mechanical property bolts and steel with high pretension force will clearly putting forward the bolt length selection rule based on the combined arch support theory.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the frequency of troughing and stress fracture, which are the major complications of scarf osteotomy, and to suggest methods to prevent these complications. Materials and Methods: We reviewed 243 cases of 137 patients treated with the scarf osteotomy for hallux valgus from January 2005 to December 2012. The mean follow-up period was 2.8 years. During the scarf osteotomy, a long oblique longitudinal osteotomy was performed in order to decrease the possibility of troughing and stress fracture. Radiographs of lateral view of the foot were obtained and the thicknesses of the first metatarsal base at the sagittal plane were measured and compared. Results: There was no troughing during fragment translation and screw fixation intraoperatively. Radiographs of lateral view of the foot taken preoperatively and at the last follow-up showed that the mean thickness of the first metatarsal was 22.4 mm preoperatively and 21.6 mm at the last follow-up, with a mean difference of 0.8 mm. And no stress fracture was observed. Conclusion: To prevent troughing and stress fracture, a long oblique longitudinal cut, parallel to the first metatarsal plantar surface, was performed, making both ends of the proximal segment truncated cone-shape, and securing the strong bony strut of the proximal segment. No troughing or stress fracture was experienced with scarf osteotomy.

Background Fingertip injuries are very common; however, the reconstruction of volar pulp defects with nail bed defects is challenging in the absence of the amputated segment. We reconstructed fingertip amputations with nail bed defects using a new surgical approach: a subcutaneous flap and composite graft. Methods We treated 10 fingertip amputation patients without an amputated segment, with exposed distal phalangeal bone and full-thickness nail bed defects between February 2018 and December 2020. All patients underwent two-stage surgery: in the first stage, a subcutaneous flap was performed to cover the exposed distal phalanx, and in the second stage, a composite graft, consisting of nail bed, hyponychium, and volar pulp skin, was applied over the subcutaneous flap. Results All flaps survived and all composite grafts were successful. The wounds healed without any significant complications, including the donor site. The average follow-up duration was 11.2 months (range, 3-27 months). The new nail and the shape of the volar pulp were evaluated during follow-up. All patients were satisfied with their natural fingertip shapes and the new nails did not have any serious deformities. Conclusions A subcutaneous flap in combination with a composite graft fitting the shape of the defect could be another option for fingertip injuries without amputated segments.

목적: 심첨형 비후성 심근병증 환자에서 스트레스 부하 관류 자기공명영상을 통한 관류 결손의 빈도와 양상을 평가하고, 이를 좌심실 비대의 정도와 지연 조영 증강과 비교해 보고자 한다. 대상과 방법: 2008년 1월부터 2012년 12월까지 심초음파 및 심전도로 심첨형 비후성 심근병증을 진단받고, 스트레스 부하 관류, 영화 영상 및 지연 조영 증강 영상을 포함하는 심장 자기공명영상을 시행한 26명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 영화 영상에서 이완기 말에 416개 분절의 좌심실 벽 두께를 분석하였고 비후된 분절의 수와 연속하여 비후된 벽 분절의 수를 조사하였다. 또한 모든 환자에서 관류 결손과 지연 조영 증강의 유무를 평가하였다. 자기공명영상에서 관류 결손이 있을 경우, 산발형 혹은 고리형의 2가지 형태로 분류하였다. 단변량 분석을 통해 전체 관류 결손과 고리형 관류 결손에 대한 독립 변수를 산출하였다. 결과: 심첨형 비후성 심근병증의 76.9%(20명)에서 스트레스 부하 관류 자기공명영상시 관류 결손을 보였으며 이중 60% (12명)이 고리형 관류 결손을 보였다. 전체 관류 결손에 대한 독립 변수는 최대 좌심실 벽 두께와 비후된 분절의 수 였고 (p < 0.05), 고리형 관류 결손에 대한 독립 변수는 3개 이상의 연속한 비후된 분절의 수가 추가되었다. 그러나 지연 조영 증강은 관류결손과는 유의한 상관관계가 없었다. 결론: 심첨형 비후성 심근병증 환자의 4분의 3에서(75%) 관류 결손을 보였으며, 대부분이 고리형 관류 결손 형태를 보였다. 좌심실 벽의 비후 정도와 분포는 관류 결손의 형태와 관련이 있었지만 지연 조영 증강과는 유의한 상관성이 없었다. 따라서 심첨형 비후성 심근병증 환자군에서 관류 결손의 임상적 의미는 비심첨형 비후성 심근병증 환자군에서 보이는 관류결손과는 임상적 의의가 다를 것으로 보이며, 이에 대한 추후의 비교연구가 필요할 것으로 여겨진다.

본 연구에서는 '점'과 '선'을 '크기' 관념에 주목하여 수학적 분석을 하고, Euclid 기하의 관점에서 한국의 2015 개정 교육과정에 따른 중학교 수학 1의 기본도형 내용영역과 미국 기하(Geometry)의 교과서 서술을 비교하여 분석하였다. 첫째, '점'과 '선분'을 '크기' 관념에 주목하여 수학적으로 분석한 결과, 1) '무한소'의 인정과 배제, 2) '측도론'과 '집합론'에 따라 수학적 관점이 달라질 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 둘째, '점'과 '선'에 관한 교과서의 서술을 Euclid 기하의 관점에서 분석한 결과, 1) 대부분의 한국의 2015 개정 교육과정에 따른 중학교 수학 1의 기본도형 내용영역에서는 '크기'가 있는 점과 선을 소개 혹은 직접 그리는 학습활동을 제시한 후, 점과 선의 '관계'를 서술하는 방식으로 전개하고 있었으나, 2) 대부분의 미국 기하 교과서에서는 크기가 있는 점과 선을 소개한 후, '무정의 용어'인 점과 선에 대하여 기하에서의 '점은 크기가 없고', '선은 두께가 없음'을 각각 명시적으로 서술하고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이와 같은 고찰을 통해 본 연구에서는 한국의 2015 개정 교육과정에 따른 중학교 수학 1의 기본도형 내용영역에서의 점과 선에 관한 서술이 잠재적으로 Euclid 기하의 관점에 해당하지 않는 수학적 직관을 생성할 가능성이 있으므로 교수학습 과정에서 이에 대한 언어적 표현의 주의가 필요함을 제안하고자 한다.

Objective : Lumbar spinal stenosis is conventionally treated with surgical decompression. However, bilateral decompression and laminectomy is more invasive and may not be necessary for lumbar stenosis patients with unilateral radiculopathy. We aimed to report the outcomes of unilateral laminectomy and bilateral pedicle screw fixation with fusion for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis and unilateral radiculopathy. Methods : Patients with lumbar spinal stenosis with unilateral lower extremity radiculopathy who received limited unilateral decompression and bilateral pedicle screw fixation were included and evaluated using visual analog scale (VAS) pain and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores preoperatively and at follow-up visits. Ligamentum flavum thickness of the involved segments was measured on axial magnetic resonance images. Results : Twenty-five patients were included. The mean preoperative VAS score was $6.6{\pm}1.6$ and $4.6{\pm}3.1$ for leg and back pain, respectively. Ligamentum flavum thickness was comparable between the symptomatic and asymptomatic side (p=0.554). The mean follow-up duration was 29.2 months. The pain in the symptomatic side lower extremity (VAS score, $1.32{\pm}1.2$) and the back (VAS score, $1.75{\pm}1.73$) significantly improved (p=0.000 vs. baseline for both). The ODI improved significantly postoperatively ($6.60{\pm}6.5$; p=0.000 vs. baseline). Significant improvement in VAS pain and ODI scores were observed in patients receiving single or multi-segment decompression fusion with fixation (p<0.01). Conclusion : Limited laminectomy and unilateral spinal decompression followed by bilateral pedicle screw fixation with fusion achieves satisfactory outcomes in patients with spinal stenosis and unilateral radiculopathy. This procedure is less damaging to structures that are important for maintaining posterior stability of the spine.
