Between Jan. and Oct. 1978, mitral valve Replacement had been performed on eight patients using porcine aortic valve mounted on flexible polypropylene or Egyloil wire and Dacron covered stent. Mitral valve replacement was performed on five, mitral valve replacement with tricuspid valve replacement on two, and mitral valve replacement with tricuspid valve annuloplasty on 1 patient using five Carpentier and five Hancock Xenograft. Overall operative deaths were 2 cases. All other 6 cases did well after surgery and improved. No systemic thromboembolism occurred without anticoagulant-No valve failure took place. The results are satisfactory.

The replacement of damaged components is an important task for long-span bridges. Conventional strategy for component replacement is to close the bridge to traffic, so that the influence of the surrounding environment is reduced to a minimum extent. However, complete traffic interruption would bring substantial economic losses and negative social influence nowadays. This paper investigates traffic control technologies without interruption for component replacement of long-span bridges. A numerical procedure of traffic control technologies is proposed incorporating traffic microsimulation and site-specific data, which is then implemented through a case study of cable replacement of a long-span cable-stayed bridge. Results indicate traffic load effects on the bridge are lower than the design values under current low daily traffic volume, and therefore cable replacement could be conducted without traffic control. However, considering a possible medium or high level of daily traffic volume, traffic load effects of girder bending moment and cable force nearest to the replaced cable become larger than the design level. This indicates a potential risk of failure, and traffic control should be implemented. Parametric studies show that speed control does not decrease but increase the load effects, and flow control using lane closure is not effectual. However, weight control and gap control are very effective to mitigate traffic load effects, and it is recommended to employ a weight control with gross vehicle weight no more than 65 t or/and a gap control with minimum vehicle gap no less than 40 m for the cable replacement of the case bridge.

One of the leading causes for the damage of various underground structures during an earthquake is soil liquefaction, and among this liquefaction-induced uplift of these structures is a major concern. In this study, finite-difference modelling is carried out to study the liquefaction-induced uplift of an underground structure of 5 m diameter (D) with and without the replacement of the in-situ fine sand around the structure with the coarse sand. Soil replacements are carried out by three methods: replacement of soil above the structure, around the structure, and below the structure. The soil behaviour is represented using the elastic-perfectly plastic Mohr-Coulomb model, where the pore pressures were computed using Finn-Byrne formulation. The predicted pore pressure and uplift of the structure due to sinusoidal input motion were validated with the centrifuge tests reported in the literature. Based on numerical studies, an empirical equation is developed for the determination of liquefaction-induced maximum uplift of the underground structure without replacement of the in-situ sand. It is found that the replacement of soil around the structure with 2D width and spacing of D can reduce the maximum uplift by 50%.

광범위한 대동맥류의 수술은 주로 elephant trunk 술식을 이용한 단계적인 수술로 이루어 지고 있다. 그러나 elephant trunk 술식을 적용하기 힘든 경우 동시 치환을 고려하여야 한다. 과거 급성 대동맥박리로 상행대동맥 수술을 받은 과거력이 있는, 마르팡 증후군이 의심되는 35세 환자에서 대동맥 근위부의 대동맥류 및 하행대동맥류 파열이 발생하여 대동맥 판막에서부터 횡격막에까지 전 흉부대동맥 동시치환술을 성공적으로 시행하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고한다.

This paper will describe the experimental results on the shear behaviors of reinforced concrete (RC) beam with recycled coarse aggregate (RCA). The primary objective of this research is to evaluate the influences of different RCA replacement percentage (i.e, 0%, 30%, 60%, and 100%) on the shear performance of reinforced concrete beams without shear reinforcement. Eight large-scale RC beams without shear reinforcement were manufactured and tested to shear failure. All had a rectangular cross-section with 400mm width ${\times}$ 600mm depth and 6000mm length, and were tested with a shear span-to-depth of 5.1. The results showed that the deflection and shear strength were little affected by the different RCA replacement percentage. Actual shear strength of each RCA beam was compared with the shear strength predicted using the provisions of ACI 318 code and Zsutty'e equation for shear design of RC beams. ACI 318 code predicted the shear strength of RCA reinforced concrete beams well.

The estimation of lifetimes are examined when the distribution of lifetimes are Weibull. It is assumed that, due to physical restrictions and/or economic requirements, the lifetimes are investigated only at certain time intervals during the test period with 'mixed replacement' experiment, even though it is well known that 'with replacement' experiment produces better accuracy than 'without replacement' one. The maximum likelihood estimators are derived through the iterative method like as Lawless(1982). Also Cramer-Rao lower bounds are found as the asymptotic variances of the estimates.

The effects of partial replacement of flour with isolated soy protein (ISP) on sponge cake quality were investigated. The replacement did not cause any significant changes in physical characteristics of sponge cakes including specific gravity, specific volume and expansion ratio. As the level of ISP replacement increased, the sponge cakes were darker in color, harder, chewier and drier than control groups. The textural characteristics (hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, gumminess and chewiness) of the sponge cakes also increased as the level of flour replacement increased. Up to 15％ of the flour could be replaced by ISP without diminishing the sponge cake quality.

During 12 years period from 1974 to 1985, 76 valve replacement procedures were performed at Seoul National University Hospital in 67 pediatric patients aging up to 15 years [mean 12.3 years] and it was 7.3% of total valve replacement procedures in same period. Sixty seven patients were composed of 44 males and 23 females. Of the 67 patients, 43 patients had acquired valve lesions and 24 patients congenital valve lesions. Sixty cases received single valve replacement, 7 cases double or triple valve replacement and 9 cases redo-valve replacement. Sixty seven patients received 84 valves [65 bioprosthetic valves and 19 prosthetic valves by] 76 operations, Sixty three of 65 bioprosthetic valves had been replaced before 1983 and 15 of 19 prosthetic valves in recent 2 years. Eleven patients [14.6%] died within one month post-operatively and 8 patients [10.5%] during the follow-up period with the overall mortality rate of 25.1%. There were early post-operative complication of 23 cases [30.3%] and late post-operative complication of 27 cases [35.3%] with the total complication rate of 65.8%. In 58 patients received bioprosthetic valves, there were 14 cases of restenosis of replaced valves. Of the 14 cases of bioprosthetic valve restenosis, 8 cases received redo-valve replacement procedures without mortality in 1 5/12-5 years after initial operation but 4 cases died without reoperation and 2 cases lost during follow-up. The overall mortality and complication rate were still high but they markedly decreased during recent 2 years. So, in spite of its containing many problems, valve replacement in children is becoming safe and useful procedure in whom valve reconstructive procedures are impossible.

Design of a degradation test without replacement is considered based on tightened critical value to reduce the evaluation testing time. The sample size, number of inspections, and the critical values are determined to assure the same probability of acceptance when the testing time is reduced to some degree. Photo-diode balance of an optical pickup is analyzed as a case study.

Most popular disk block replacement polices are LRU(Least Recently Used)policy and LFU(Least Frequently Used)policy. The LRU policy replaces blocks according to the most recent reference without considering the frequency of reference. The LFU policy replaces blocks according to the frequency of reference without considering the recently of the reference. In this thesis, a policy called LFR(least Frequently Use & Not Used Recently) disk block replacement policy is presented. The LFR policy subsumes the LFU policy and the NUR policy. The spectrum of the LFR policy exists between the LFU policy and the NUR policy because we co give different weight to each reference of a block. The implementation shows LFR policy outperforms the previously implemente LRU policy.
