NLMS 알고리즘을 채용한 음향반향제거기는 주변잡음에 대해서 적응필터의 계수가 오조정되어 반향제거기의 성능이 저하된다. 본 논문에서 음향반향제거기의 마이크 입력신호와 추정 오차신호의 상관도를 이용해서 주변 잡음신호에 의한 계수 오조정이 작은 적응 알고리즘과 잔여반향을 제거하기 위한 후처리기로 구성된 음향 반향 제거기를 제안한다. 기존의 NLMS 알고리즘이 입력신호의전력으로 적응상수를 정규화하지만 제안하는 알고리즘은 마이크 입력신호와 추정 오차신호의상관도와 입력신호 전력의 합으로 정규화한다. 적응필터가 반향 경로를 추정한 경우, 추정 오차신호에는 근단화자 신호가 대부분을 차지한다. 따라서 근단화자 신호가 있는 경우에는 상관도 값이 커져서 적응 상수가 작아지고 근단화자 신호에 의한 계수의 오조정을 줄일 수 있다. 후처리기도 마이크 입력신호와 추정 오차신호의 상관도를 마이크 입력신호의 전력으로 정규화한 값으로 추정 오차신호를 감쇠시킴으로써 근단화자 신호는 감쇠를 적게 하고 잔여반향을 감쇠시킨다. 멀티미디어 PC를 이용한 실험을 통해서 제안하는 알고리즘이 기존의 알고리즘에 비해서 우수한 성능을 보임을 확인했다.

It is a relatively common clinical experience to see a impacted maxillary central incisor Most often, the central incisor is impacted labially. The labial impaction has been indicated as the most difficult to manage. The labial impactions have been found to be associated with mucogingival recession, reduced attached gingiva and periodontal pockets. For the successful treatment, clinicians should avoid loss of attached gingiva in surgical exposure. The most common methods of uncovering labially impacted maxillary anterior teeth are gingivectomy, apically positioned flap and closed eruption technique. If gingivectomy will not leave enough attached gingiva, then an apically positioned flap may be the treatment of choice. If the tooth is impacted in the middle of the alveolus or high in the vestibule near the nasal spine, the closed eruption technique may be the treatment of choice. Closed eruption technique was used in one case, apically positioned flap was used in two case. As the result in two cases of impacted maxillary central incisor, apically positioned flap provide the adequate width of attached gingiva. In case of impacted maxillary central incisor, through the clinical and radiologic examination to select correct surgical operation for reduce the complications.

The impaction of the maxillary permanent incisor is a common clinical problem and is mostly found at the "labial to the alveolar process." Surgical exposure and orthodontic treatment with fixed orthodontic appliances can be considered if normal eruption of the labillay impacted tooth is not expected. Surgical exposure of the impacted tooth, that is usually under the attached gingiva or is surrounded by alveolar bone through gingivectomy and removal of alveolar bone, may give a rise to complications such as diminution in the width of the attached gingiva, inflammation of the gingiva, and the loss of marginal alveolar bone. Therefore, closed eruption technique, which includes surgical exposure and orthodontic treatment with fixed orthodontic appliances followed by repositioning of surgical flap, is preferred. However, apically repositioned flap of the impacted tooth, which is beneath the movable submucosal area or is above the alveolar crestal area, can prevent unwanted exposures and facilitate successful tooth eruption. In this report, we described esthetic results of three patients with unerupted maxillary permanent incisor who were performed with an apically positioned flap without the loss of attached gingiva.

In this paper, a new robust adaptive algorithm and a post-processing method are proposed to improve the performance of AEC without computational burden. Its step-size is normalized by the sum of the powers of the reference input signal and the desired signal. When the near-end speaker's speech and noise are applied into the microphone, the step-size becomes small and the misalignment of coefficients are reduced. To reduce the residual echoes, a new post-processing method, which is co-operated with the proposed noise-robust adaptive algorithm, is proposed in this paper. The method is based on the correlation of the desired signal and the estimation error signal. The residual echoes are attenuated as proportional to the correlation normalized with the power of desired signals. The normalized correlation plays a role as Wiener filter for residual echoes. In the double-talk situation, the estimation error signals, that are residual echoes, dominantly include the near-end speaker's speech and the normalized correlation closes to 1. Therefore, the near-end speaker's speech can be transmitted without being attenuated. When the desired signals consists of only the acoustic echoes, the residual echoes are mostly attenuated and canceled by the proposed post-processor. The computation of AEC using the proposed post-processor is comparable to NLMS algorithm.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of using spinal stabilization exercise for the improvement of atrophy of the multifidus and psoas major, of pain and disability with chronic low back pain in private guard and security. For 42 patients diagnosed with CLBP, and divided into spinal stabilization exercise group(SSEG) and general spinal strengthening exercise group(GSSEG). Each exercise was conducted for 10 weeks. Pain and disability were measured before and after exercise using the Visual analogue scale(VAS) and the Oswestry disability index(ODI). Cross section area(CSA) of both the left and right multifidus and the psoas major at the upper end plate of L4 were measured before and after exercise using computed tomography(CT). After 10 weeks of exercise, the both group's pain and lumbar disability were significantly decreased(p<0.01). Also there was significant difference in both group(p<0.05). In addition, the CSA of the left and right multifidus and posas major were significantly increased as compared to the pre-exercise in both group(p<0.01). But SSEG's cross sectional areas of multifidus was more significantly increase than GSSEG(p<0.05). In summary, Spinal stabilization exercise is more effective in improving atrophy in private guard and security patients, in reducing patients' pain and disability. It is an effective treatment to aid rehabilitation in these cases.

The mandibular buccal frenum becomes a problem when its attachment is too close to the marginal gingival. Heavy buccal frenum mucogingivally results in insufficient attached gingiva, inadequate vestibular depth and also difficulty in eruption of mandibular premolar. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of apically positioned partial-thickness flap as adequate method in order to remove heavy buccal frenum and expose impacted teeth. The author presents the case of a 12-year-old boy. He had problems that was prolonged eruption of #34, #35 due to high pull buccal frenum. After space regaining for normal eruption of #34, #35, we performed apically positioned partial-thickness flap on #34, 35 area. As a results, we confirmed that eruption of #34, #35 has been processed normally And vestibular depth, position of buccal frenum and width of attached gingival was within a normal range. Decrease in muscle pull, adequate width of attached gingiva and increased vestibular depth can be expected from this treatment.

In this paper, we propose a new double talk detection algorithm which detects near end signals with less degradation, tracking echo path variation of echo canceler simultaneously. Our method makes use of a cross-correlation between channel input signals and estimated error signals and a normalized cross-correlation between microphone input signals and estimated error signals. By combing thresholds for these cross-correlations pertinently, this algorithm discriminates between variation of echo path and occurrence of double talk. These two cross-correlation are used to detect double talk periods, tracking echo path variation. During the detection period, adjustive adaptive filter is ceased to prevent the echo canceler from being disturbed by near end signals. Also, the echo canceler will still be kept on for tracking any variation in echo path. Through computer simulation results, it was confirmed that the proposed algorithm shows better performance, tracking echo path variation and detecting the double talk periods, than the Ye et. al's and the NLMS algorithms from ERLE viewpoint.

Double-talk detection errors can result in either large residual echo or distorting the near-end talker's input speech. Thus accurate double-talk detection is an important problem in the acoustic echo canceller to improve the speech quality. In the double-talk detection algorithm using a cross-correlation coefficient, double-talk detection errors can occur in the initial convergence period of an adaptive filter or in noisy environment since the cross-correlation coefficient becomes large in such situations. In this paper, we propose a new double-talk detection algorithm based on the cross-correlation method using a normalized error signal power to reduce the double-talk detection errors. The experimental results have shown the performance improvement of an acoustic echo canceller as well as the noise-robustness of the proposed double-talk detector.

The inheritance of isoenzymes in young coat tissues of trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) was studied by electrophoretically analysing five parental clones and their full-sib progenies obtained by crossing one female clone to four male clones. The distal 2cm section of vigorous young roots of 70 seedlings per family were subjected to horizontal starch gel electrophoresis. The resulting gels were tested for activity of 7 enzyme systems. Evidences for the inheritance of isoenzymes observed indicated that the isoenzyme variants of every isoenzyme zone were under control of codominant alleles at a single locus. Chi-square test of joint segregation data of the two loci, 6-PGD-2 and PGI-2, indicated that the pair of loci was not linked.
