The purpose of this study was to evaluate the possibility of the decrease of bond strength due to increased thickness of resin base in indirect bracket bonding technique. Metal brackets were bonded to the resin blocks involving bovine lower incisors and the thickness of resin bases was increased by increments of 0.5 mm from 0.0 mm to 2.0 mm. They were divided into two groups, one group is that the thickness of resin base was increased but the loading point from the tooth surface was maintained constantly, the other group is that the loading point from the tooth surface and the resin base thickness were increased concomitantly. The shear bond strength was tested on universal testing machine and the failure patterns were assessed with the adhesive remnant index(ARI). The results were as follows: 1. When the distance from the tooth surface to the loading point was maintained constantly, shear bond strength was increased significantly according to the decrease of distance from the bracket base to the loading point and the increase of resin base thickness. 2. When the distance from the tooth surface to the loading point and the resin base thickness were increased concomitantly, shear bond strength was decreased according to the increase of resin base thickness but significant differences were ignorable. 3. There were no significant differences in ARI scores according to the change in the thickness of resin base. The results of the present study indicated that shear bond strength was not much affected by the thickness of resin base, whereas was decreased according to the increase of distance from bracket base to the loading point.

The Hippocratic database model recently proposed by Agrawal et at. incorporates privacy protection capabilities into relational databases. The authors have subsequenty proposed the Hippocratic XML daかabase model[4], an extension of the Hippocratic database model for XML databases. In this paper, we propose a new concept that we cail the dynamic predicate(DP) for effective access control in the Hippocratic XML database model. A DP is a novel concept that represents a dynamically constructed rendition that tan be adapted for determining the accessibility of elements during query execution. DPs allow us to effectively integrate authorization checking into the query plan so that unauthorized elements are excluded in the process of query execution. Using synthetic and real data, we have performed extensive experiments comparing query processing time with those of existing access control mechanisms. The results show that the proposed access control mechanism improves the wall clock time by up to 219 times over the top-down access control strategy and by up to 499 times over the bottom-up access control strategy. The major contribution of our, paper is enabling effective integration of access control mechanisms with the query plan using the DP under the Hippocratic XML database model.

The reliability degradation phenomena in the SiGe hetero-junction bipolar transistor (HBT) are investigated in this review. In the case of the SiGe HBT the decrease of the current gain, the degradation of the AC characteristics, and the offset voltage are frequently observed, which are attributed to the emitter-base reverse bias voltage stress, the transient enhanced diffusion, and the deterioration of the base-collector junction due to the fluctuation in fabrication process, respectively. The reverse-bias stress on the emitter-base junction causes the recombination current to rise, increasing the base current and degrading the current gain, because hot carriers formed by the high electric field at the junction periphery generate charged traps at the silicon-oxide interface and within the oxide region. Because of the enhanced diffusion of the dopants in the intrinsic base induced by the extrinsic base implantation, the shorter distance between the emitter-base junction and the extrinsic base than a critical measure leads to the reduction of the cut-off frequency ($f_t$) of the device. If the energy of the extrinsic base implantation is insufficient, the turn-on voltage of the collector-base junction becomes low, in the result, the offset voltage appears on the current-voltage curve.

The database schema is assumed to be stable enough to remain valid even as the modeled environment changes. However, in practice. data models are not nearly as stable as commonly assumed by the database designers. Even though a rich set of schema change operations is provided in current database systems, the users suffer from the problem that schema change usually impacts existing application programs that have been written against the schema. In this paper, we are exploring the possible solutions to overcome this problem of impacts on the application programs. We believe that for continued support of the existing programs on the old schema, the old schema should continue to allow updates and queries, as before. Furthermore, its associated data has to be kept up-to-date. We call this the program independency property of schema change tools. For this property. we devise so-called program independency schema evolution (PISE) methodology. For each of the set of schema change operations in the relational schemas, the sketch of the additional algorithms due to the PISE compliance is presented in order to prove the comprehensiveness and soundness of our PISE methodology.

Views are essential in providing logical data independence for database systems. Object views in object-oriented/object-relational databases have requirements quite different from those of relational databases due to support for object-oriented concepts. Although many commercial object-oriented/object-relational database systems support object views, implementation techniques have not been discussed sufficiently in the literature. In this paper, we devise a technique for implementing views in object-oriented/object-relational databases and apply it to the ODYSSEUS object-relational database system. We first analyze the requirements of object views. Next, to implement object views, we extend the existing query modification algorithm that has been proposed for implementing views in relational databases. Next, we compare the features of the proposed object view with those of object views in commercial object-relational database systems. It is shown that the proposed object view supports all object-oriented concepts such as object identifiers, inheritance, methods, and composite objects, while existing object views support part of them. Last, we propose detailed techniques for implementing the extended query modification algorithm in the ODYSSEUS object-relational database system.

Selectivity estimation techniques in query optimization have been used in commercial databases and histograms are popularly used for the selectivity estimation. Recently, the techniques for spatio-temporal databases have been restricted to existing temporal and spatial databases. In addition, the selectivity estimation techniques focused on time-series data such as moving objects. It is also impossible to estimate selectivity for range queries with a time interval. Therefore, we construct two histograms, CMH (current multidimensional histogram) and PMH (past multidimensional histogram), to estimate the selectivity of multidimensional sequence data in spatio-temporal databases and propose effective selectivity estimation methods using the histograms. Furthermore, we solve a problem about the range query using our proposed histograms. We evaluated the effectiveness of histograms for range queries with a time interval through various experimental results.

In this study, the bearing pressure distribution and design method of rectangular steel tubular column base plates under concentric loading were investigated. In general, the size and thickness of the baseplate are determined with the assumption that the bearing pressure of the column baseplate is uniformly distributed. When the column is loaded lightly, however, the size of the baseplate becomes smaller, the thickness becomes thinner and the bearing pressure of the baseplate is not distributed evenly. In this study, the distribution of the bearing pressure was investigated using the experimental and analytical methods. Four test specimens of the rectangular steel column baseplate were fabricated and tested. The analysis of the specimens was done using the finite element analysis program ANSYS. The result was that it was appropriate to use the effective width method to design the lightly loaded column baseplate, because the bearing pressure was not distributed evenly and was only concentrated under the column section.

A Web database System is a large-scaled multimedia application system that has multimedia processing facilities and cooperates with relational/Object-Oriented DBMS. Conventional hypertext modeling methods and DB gateway have limitations for Web database because of their restricted versatile presentation abilities and inefficient concurrency control caused by bottleneck in cooperation processing. Thus, we suggest a Dynamic Navigation Model & Virtual Graph Structure. The Dynamic Navigation Model supports implicit query processing and dynamic creation of navigation spaces, and introduce node-link creation rule considering navigation styles. We propose a mapping methodology between the suggested hypertext model and the relational data model, and suggest a dynamic allocation scheduling technique for query processing server based on weighted value. We show that the proposed technique enhances the retrieval performance of Web database systems in processing complex queries concurrently.

In many intrusion detection applications, n-gram approach has been widely applied. However, n-gram approach has shown a few problems including double counting of features. To address those problems, we applied n-gram augmented Naive Bayes directly to classify intrusive sequences and compared performance with those of Naive Bayes and Support Vector Machines (SVM) with n-gram features by the experiments on host-based intrusion detection benchmark data sets. Experimental results on the University of New Mexico (UNM) benchmark data sets show that the n-gram augmented method, which solves the problem of independence violation that happens when n-gram features are directly applied to Naive Bayes (i.e. Naive Bayes with n-gram features), yields intrusion detectors with higher accuracy than those from Naive Bayes with n-gram features and shows comparable accuracy to those from SVM with n-gram features.

The failure modes of steel column-base plate connection arranged on the basis of AISC Design Guide-#1 and -#10 are base plate tension and compression side flexural yielding, yielding, pull-out and shear failure of anchor rod, concrete crushing in concrete footing and steel column yielding. The bending moment capacity and failure mode in this connection are predicted using limit-state function and we compare these results and test result. In the case that thickness of base plate is relatively thick, bending moment capacity and failure mode in steel column-base plate connection accurately predicted. But in the case that thickness of base plate is relatively thin and axial force do not exist, prediction of failure mode in this connection is somewhat inaccurate.
