Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in occlusal force after loss of the lower first molar depending on the inclination and extrusion of the adjacent and opposing teeth by using a strain gauge. Materials and Methods: Anatomic teeth were used to reconstruct the normal dental arch with loss of the lower right first molar. A uniformly thick layer of silicone was applied to the root to mimic the periodontal ligament. Four stages of dies with varying degrees of inclination and extrusion of the adjacent and opposing teeth were constructed and attached to master model interchangeably by using a CAD/CAM fabricated customized die system. The strain gauges were attached to teeth and a universal testing machine was used to determine the changes in occlusal force. An independent t-test and one-way ANOVA were performed (${\alpha}=.05$). Results: While simulating chewing food, the upper first, second premolar and lower second molar showed greater occlusal force than before extraction. When the change of adjacent teeth's occlusal force with their progressive movement after molar loss was evaluated, the difference among four die models was significant and was in the decreasing aspect (P < 0.05). Conclusion: When the lower first molar was lost and the adjacent teeth did not move yet, the occlusal force in adjacent teeth was higher than that when the lower first molar still existed. In addition, the occlusal force in the upper premolars and lower second molar decreased significantly with the progressive movement of adjacent teeth.

An optical arrangement has been set inside a photo-spectrometer to measure the reflectance of IR optics materials in mid IR range. The optical arrangement consists of equally spaced 4 gold coated full reflecting mirrors with the incidence angle of 45°. Baseline beam intensity I_B has been measured while the beam proceeds through the 4 mirrors. Reflectance of a mirror has been estimated from the I_B. And the beam intensity I_S with the specimen in the optical path has been measured with the 4th mirror replaced with the specimen. Reflectance of the specimen has been estimated from the value of I_S/I_B. Then the estimated reflectance has been put in Fresnel equation relating reflectance and refractive index(RI) to estimate the RI of the material. Measurement has been made for sapphire, germanium, magnesium fluoride, and zinc sulfide. The estimated RI of the materials are closely matching with reference data and the maximum difference less than 2% over the wavelength range 3-5㎛ for all materials tested. As an FT-IR photo-spectrometer with a broadband wavelength infrared light source is used, this method has the advantage of measuring the refractive index at multiple wavelengths in a single measurement.

노지 고추 수확작업은 100% 인력에 의존하고 있으며 7~9월에 걸쳐 5~6회의 다수의 작업이 수행되어 노동 강도가 크다. 또한 농촌의 고령화와 노동력 감소로 인하여 수확인력의 부족이 발생하고 있음에도 불구하고 시중에 유통되고 있는 고추 및 노지채소 수확작업 편이기기는 동력이 아닌 인력으로 이랑사이를 이동하며 작물을 수확하는 구조로 되어있다. 이는 노동 강도를 줄여주는 효과가 미미하기 때문에 동력이 수반된 편이장치가 필요하며 또한 적절한 모터 및 제어장치가 요구된다. 적절한 모터를 선정함에 있어서 영향을 주는 인자는 주행저항(RR)이며, 구성요소로는 구름마찰저항(Rr), 공기저항(RА), 등판저항(Rg), 가속저항(Ra)이 있으며, 다음과 같은 식으로 정의된다. 주행저항(RR)=구름마찰저항(Rr)+공기저항(RA)+등판저항(Rg)+가속저항(Ra) 구름마찰저항(Rr)=구름마찰저항계수(${\mu}$)${\times}$차량총중량(W) 등판저항(Rg)=차량총중량(W)${\times}Sin{\theta}$ 공기저항(RА), 및 가속저항(Ra)은 1m/s 미만의 속도가 요구되기 때문에 무시할 수 있다. 동력원에서 최종 구동축으로 전달된 동력은 주행장치를 통하여 지면에 전달되고 이 동력에 의해 작업차의 주행장치에 추진력이 발생하며 주행장치의 추진력이 주행저항 이상이 될 때 작업차는 전진하게 된다. 따라서 작업차의 주행속도를 V(m/s), 전동기의 효율을 ${\mu}_m$, 동력전달효율을 ${\mu}_{TD}$라고 하면 다음과 같은 식이 산출된다. 전동기의 소요출력(P)=주행저항(RR)${\times}$속도(V)/전동기의 효율(${\mu}_m$)${\times}$동력전달효율(${\mu}_{TD}$) 구름마찰계수를 0.3이라고 할 때 포장의 경사도와 작업차의 주행속도 변화에 따른 주행소요 동력을 비교하였다. 주행소요동력은 포장의 경사각과 주행속도의 증가와 더불어 증가한다. 고추 및 노지채소 수확작업 편이장치의 작업시 요구되는 주행속도는 일반적으로 0.25m/s, 등반각은 5도이다. 이때 구동 전동기의 출력은 안전율을 고려하여 식에 의해 계산한 결과 1ps으로 산출 되었다. 선정한 구동모터의 감속비는 7.18 : 1, 에너지의 효율은 78 %, 기동토크는14 N/m 이며, 축전지의 경우 구동모터에 기반 하여 구입이 간편하고 상용화 되어있는 연축전지를 사용하여 교체 및 수리가 간단하도록 하였다. 축전지는 12V 18Ah의 축전지 2개를 사용한다.

This paper presents a method for improving the performance of ISF coefficients quantizer through compensating the defect of the split structure vector quantization using the ordering property of ISF coefficients. And design the ISF coefficients quantizer for wideband speech codec using proposed method. The wideband speech codec uses split structure vector quantizer which could not use the correlation between ISF coefficients fully to reduce complexity and the size of codebook. The proposed algorithm uses the ordering property of ISF coefficients to overcome the defect. Using the ordering property, the codebook redundancy could be figured out. The codebook redundancy is replaced by the adaptive-extended codebook to improve the performance of the quantizer through using the ordering property, ISF coefficient prediction and interpolation of existing codebook. As a result, the proposed algorithm shows that the adaptive-extended codebook algorithm could get about 2 bit gains in comparison with the existing split structure ISF quantizer of AMR-WB (G.722.2) in the points of spectral distortion.

Since 2000, Korea has seen a big trend in the market, as the EU tightened regulations on environment due to global warming, high oil prices and aging rural population distribution, strengthening the need for multi-purpose electric moto vehicles for small farmers based on eco-friendly energy. Multi-purpose electric motor vehicles for rural small businesses will be a very innovative means of transportation, not only maintained at a low cost and to reduce greenhouse gases through the activation of eco-friendly energy, but also be a very innovative means of transportation for reducing the labor intensity of the aging farming industry and transporting night work and logistics. In this paper, with the implementation of eco-friendly energy policies, small and medium-sized rural small business owners can easily operate on unpaved roads and well-drawn farming environments, while the intensity of labor can be reduced when transporting crops also can simply replace parts at a low cost in the event of an accident. To propose rural multi-purpose modular electric vehicles, the existing literature is reviewed and 12 modular parts are presented by benchmarking electric vehicles at home and abroad. This paper is thought to be helpful for the research of the industry as well as the design industry of modular electric vehicles.

In wireless sensor networks, a clustering protocol is an efficient method to prolong network lifetime. In general, it results in more energy consumption at the cluster-head node. Hence, such a protocol must changes the cluster formation and cluster-head node in each round to prolong the network lifetime. But, this method also causes large amount of energy consumption during the set-up process of cluster formation. In order to improve energy efficiency, in this paper, we propose a new clustering algorithm. In this algorithm, we exclude duplicated data of adjacent nodes and transmits the threshold value. We define a group as the sensor nodes within close proximity of each other. In a group, a node senses and transmits data at a time on the round-robin basis. In a view of whole network, group is treated as one node. During the setup phase of a round, intra clusters are formed first and then they are re-clustered(network cluster) by choosing cluster-heads(group). In the group with a cluster-head, every member node plays the role of cluster-head on the round-robin basis. Hence, we can lengthen periodic round by a factor of group size. As a result of analysis and comparison, our scheme reduces energy consumption of nodes, and improve the efficiency of communications in sensor networks compared with current clustering methods.

Due to the fast development of wire&wireless internet and computer hardware, more and more internet services are being developed, such as Internet broadcast, VoD (Video On Demand), etc. So QoS (Qualify of Service) is essentially needed to guarantee the quality of these services. Traditional Internet is Best-Effort service in which all packets are transported in FIFO (First In First Out) style. However, FIFO is not suitable to guarantee the quality of some services, so more research in QoS router and QoS protocol are needed. Researched QoS router and protocol are high cost and inefficient because the existing infra is not used. To solve this problem, a new QoS control method, named Network Adaptive QoS, is introduced and applied to client/server-based streaming systems. Based on network bandwidth monitoring mechanism, network adaptive QoS control method can be used in wire&wireless networks to support QoS in real-time streaming system. In order to reduce application cost, the existing streaming service is used in NAQoS. A new module is integrated into the existing server and client. So the router and network line are not changed. By simulation in heavy traffic network conditions, we proved that stream cannot be seamless without network adaptive QoS method.

${\gamma}$-Glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT, EC 2.3.2.2) transfers ${\gamma}$-glutamyl moiety from glutamine to amino acids or peptides and hydrolyzes glutamine to glutamate and ammonia. In order to overproduce ${\gamma}$-glutamyltranspeptidase from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (BAGGT), the encoding gene was cloned and expressed in Bacillus subtilis. The productivity of BAGGT in Bacillus subtilis was improved by 42-fold by using a dual-promoter system that was generated by combining promoters from B. subtilis ${\alpha}$-amylase and BAGGT genes. Through optimization of medium composition by Plackett-Burman design and central composition design, BAGGT was produced at $18.3{\times}10^7U/L$ of culture in the optimized medium. Compared to previously used Luria-Bertani medium, the optimized culture medium (15 g/L molasses, 60 g/L corn steep liquor, 6 g/L yeast extract, 4 g/L NaCl, 6 g/L $K_2HPO_4$, and 2 g/L $KH_2PO_4$), resulted in a 4.3-fold increase in production of BAGGT.
