The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between neck posture and range of motion and neck disability index(NDI) in young adults with reduced cervical lordosis. This study selected 34 young adults with cervical lordosis reduced (Cobb's angle less than 35 degrees). The assessor measured neck flexion, extension, left lateral flexion, right lateral flexion, left rotation, right rotation and forward displacements of all subjects using cervical of range motion instrument, Then, the NDI was evaluated. After all assessments, degree for cervical lordosis was divided into two groups: bottom group(severe cervical lordosis) and top group(mild cervical lordosis). The bottom group was significantly higher in Cobb's angle, extension, left lateral flexion, right lateral flexion, left rotation, right rotation and forward displacement compared to the top group (p<.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in flexion, NDI(p >.05). In comparison of subscale of NDI, top group was significantly higher in pain, lifting, and headache than bottom group (p <.05). In correlation analysis, Cobb's angle showed significant positive correlation with flexion, extension, left lateral flexion, right lateral flexion, left rotation and right rotation(p<.05), and showed significant negative correlation with forward displacement, NDI(p<.05). Cobb's angle showed a significant negative correlation with pain, lifting, and headache of subscale of NDI(p<.05). The findings of this study potentially suggest that neck posture may affect the cervical range of motion and pain.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect according to the fiber type and combination on the reinforcement of heat-polymerized denture base resin. The heat-polymerized resin(Vertex RS, Dentimax, Netherlands) was used in this study. Glass fiber(GL; ER 270FW, Hankuk Fiber Glass, Korea), polyaromatic polyamide fiber(PA; aramid; Kevlar-49, Dupont, U.S.A.) and ultra high molecular weight polyethylene fiber(PE, polyethylene; P.E, Dong Yang Rope, Korea) were used to reinforce the denture base resin specimens. The final size of test specimen was $64mm{\times}10mm{\times}3.3mm$. The specimens of each group were stored in distilled water at $37^{\circ}C$ for 50 hours before measurement. The flexural strength and flexural modulus were measured by an universal testing machine(Z020, Zwick, Germany) at a crosshead speed of 5 mm/min in a three-point bending mode. In this study, all fibers showed reinforcing effects on denture base resin(p<0.05). In terms of flexural strength and flexural modulus, glass fiber 5.3 vol.% showed most effective reinforcing effect on heat polymerized denture base resin. For flexural modulus, PA/GL was the highest in denture base resin specimen for hybrid FRC using two combination (p<0.05). Glass fiber 5.3 vol.% and PA/GL are considered to be applied effectively in reinforcing the heat polymerized denture base resin.

Purpose: Most of studies dealing with abfractions are limited to the buccal surfaces of the teeth. In this study, we analyzed the cause for abfraction by investigating the incidence of palatal side abfractions in maxillary posterior teeth. Materials and Methods: We investigated a total of 3193 maxillary posterior teeth by an intraoral examination, model observation, and observation of virtual model fabricated using model scanning. We recorded the results and classified them depending on the type of teeth, age, gender, and side of arches. We also performed Chi-square test to evaluate the statistical significance among the groups (α = 0.05). Results: The incidence of palatal side abfraction of the maxillary molars (10.8%) was higher than the premolars (6.8%), and among them, the incidence of the 1st molars (39.1%) were the highest. The incidence of palatal side abfraction increased with age and was statistically significant (P < 0.05). There was no statistical significance in the difference by gender (P > 0.05); in the case of arches, left arch showed higher incidence and it was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Palatal side abfraction in maxillary posterior teeth was frequently observed in the maxillary 1st molars, and the incidence increased with age. This result suggests that the main reason for abfraction is due to occlusal force.

In this paper, we discuss the abnormalities of flexion and extension in elbow disease in general. Flexion and extension represent arm flexion and extension while being set to 90 degrees. In this case, the angle of the arm is remarkably small, or the pain is accompanied by an abnormality in the elbow. We tested 100 elbow flexions and extensions at the age of 50 and calculated the number of people in each case. After that, patients with abnormalities in flexion and extension were classified and their treatment methods were presented. In this paper, we have developed a system for treating musculoskeletal disorders.

In this study, geometric modeling and finite element analysis of 3-dimensional plain weave composite unit cell consisting of 3 interlaced fiber tows and resin pocket were performed to predict effective properties. First, tow properties were obtained from micro-mechanics finite element unit cell analysis, which were then used in the meso-mechanics analysis. The effective properties were obtained from a series of unit cell analyses simulating uniaxial tensile and shear tests. Analysis results were compared to the analysis and experimental results in the literature. Various crimp angles were considered and the effect on the effective properties was investigated. Initial failure strengths and failure sequence were also examined.

The study aimed at examining how different reline resins affect flexural strength and flexural modulus of denture base. A total of 80 specimens ($64{\times}10{\times}3.3$ mm, according to ISO 1567:1999) of heat-polymerized resin, 40 specimens for (Lucitone199(Dentsply Int., NewYork, USA), SR Ivocap(Ivoclar AG, Schaan, Liechtenstein)) respectively, were polymerized according to the manufacturer's instructions and divided into eight groups(n = 10). Control group specimens remained intact. Specimens in the other groups were abraded on both sides to 2 mm thickness, and were relined in 1.3 mm thickness with 3 types of resins (Lucitone199(Dentsply), SR Ivocap(Ivoclar), and Rebase II(Tokuyama Co., Ltd, Tokyo, Japan)). All specimens were preserved in distilled water at $37^{\circ}C$ for 50 hours, and then were subjected to flexural strength testing in a universal testing machine using 3-point loading. A crosshead speed of 5 mm/min was used, and the distance between the supports was 50 mm. Data analyses included one-way analysis of variance(ANOVA) and the Tukey Honestly Significant Difference test (p=.05). Both heat-polymerized resin groups and auto-polymerized resin groups showed statistically low flexural strength and flexural modulus than control groups. Specimens relined with Lucitone 199 showed significantly higher flexural strength and flexural modulus than those relined with SR-Ivocap. Specimens relined with auto-polymerized resin showed significantly lower flexural strength and flexural modulus than those relined with heat-polymerized resin. Relining with heat-polymerized resins showed superior mechanical properties to relining with an auto-polymerized resin. Relining with the same heat-polymerized resin as the denture base does not affect mechanical properties of a denture. Lucitone199 using a compression-mould technique resulted in the highest flexural strength.

본 논문에서는 연속된 프레임에서 특징점을 추출하고 특징점의 유사도를 Hough 공간에 누적하여 정확한 이동을 찾아내는 기법을 제시한다. 특징점은 예지의 시작점, 끝점, 분기점과 굴곡점을 사용한다. 정합을 위하여 특징점 주위의 평균 밝기, 굴곡점의 굴곡각을 이용하며, 물체 주위에 물체보다 특징이 강한 배경에 민감하지 않게 동작하기 위하여 Hough 공간상의 극대값들에 대하여, 분할 영역의 평균과 표준 편차를 비교함으로써 정확한 이동 경로를 산출한다. 제안하는 알고리즘을 실제 영상에 적응한 경우 배경의 특징이 매우 강한 경우 Hough 공간의 최대값을 찾는 기법이 해결할 수 없는 부분도 정확히 추적하는 결과를 보인다.

본 연구에서는 배기계의 진동해석과 관련하여, 배기계 파이프에 대한 보 모델링기법을 제안하였다. 굴곡부가 통상의 직석보로 모델링될 때는 실제보다 고유진동수가 상당히 높게 평가되므로, 이 굴곡부의 강성을 적절히 수정해 주어야만 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 정적 변형에너지개념을 이용하여 실제 엔지니어들이 사용할 수 있을 정도로 간단하면서도, 합리적인 기법을 제시하였다. 실제 배기계의 중앙파이프의 진동해석에 적용해 본 결과 이 기법의 타당성과 효율성을 입증할 수 있었다.
