Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the fracture strength of straight and angled zirconia abutments for internal hex and external hex implants. Materials and methods: Twenty internal hex implants and 20 external hex implants were prepared. The prefabricated straight zirconia abutments and 17-degree-angled zirconia abutments were connected to those 40 implants. The specimens were classified into 4 groups depending on the connection type and abutment angulation; internal hex implant/straight abutment, group INS; internal hex implant/angled abutment, group INA; external hex implant/straight abutment, group EXS; external hex implant/angled abutment, group EXA. All specimens were loaded at a 30-degree angle with a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min using universal testing machine. The fracture loads were analyzed using 2-way ANOVA and independent t-test (${\alpha}=.05$). Results: The mean fracture load for INS was 955.91 N, 933.65 N for INA, 1267.20 N for EXS, and 1405.93 N for EXA. External hex implant showed a significantly higher fracture load, as compared to internal hex implant (P < .001). No significant differences in fracture loads were observed between the straight and angled abutment in internal hex implants (P = .747) and external hex implants (P = .222). Internal hexes of abutments were fractured horizontally in internal connection implants, while lingual cervical neck portions were fractured in external connection implants. Conclusion: The zirconia abutments with external hex implants showed significantly higher fracture strength than those with internal hex implants. However there was no difference in fracture strength between the straight and 17-degree-angled zirconia abutment connected to both implant systems.

Pile foundation for transmission tower constructed in weak ground can cause the damage of the tower due to the different settlement between the foundations. In Japan and USA, connected-pile foundations whose 4 foundations are connected each other by beams were used for transmission tower (TEPCO 1988, IEEE 2001). Resistance increasing factors for connected-pile foundation signify increasing amount of resistance due to the effect of connected-pile material. In this study, we performed model lateral load tests of connected-pile foundations for transmission tower and found the resistance increasing factors for connected-pile foundation. The tests were performed in silty clay, and the resistance increasing factors were founded in various conditions that lateral load directions and height, the stiffness of beams in the connected-pile foundations were changed. The resistance increasing factors from our research were presented as a function of normal lateral loading height and normal stiffness of the connected-pile material. The resistances which were estimated from the resistance increasing factors were similar to measured values.

Total elbow arthroplasty is still in its infancy compared with other arthroplasties, such as knee or hip arthroplasties. Implant design has been evolving with clinical experiences; however, there are only limited data on the long-term clinical outcome of elbow arthroplasty in the literature. The design of total elbow prostheses can be divided into three categories: linked (constrained or semi-constrained), unlinked (unconstrained), and convertible types. The choice between an unlinked (unconstrained) implant and a linked (semi-constrained) implant depends on joint stability and adequacy of the bone stock. Linked elbow arthroplasty has provided high patient satisfaction, and pain relief thanks to proper patient selection, advancement of implant design, improvement in cement techniques, meticulous surgical technique, and appropriate postoperative rehabilitation. Concerns remain about the use of this implant in young or high-demand patients. This article focuses on the linked (semi-constrained) prostheses, which provides an overview of the current state of linked total elbow arthroplasty.

For soft ground, a pile foundation is typically used as a substructure of transmission tower. However, differential settlement between the foundations can cause structural damage of transmission tower. The connected-pile foundation is a type of group foundation consisting of four foundations connected with beams, and it was suggested in USA and Japan. In this study, a series of 1/8 scale model pile tests were performed to investigate the effect of load direction and stiffness of connecting beam on the responses of connected-pile foundation. As a result, the load capacities of the connected-pile foundation were larger than those of the conventional group pile foundation. For example, under the given test conditions in this paper, the resistibility against differential settlement was improved significantly for connected-pile foundation and its efficiency was maximized when the stiffness of connecting beams is about 25% of the mat foundation.

In this study, we performed model lateral load test for connected-type foundations of transmission tower with bar in clay, and proposed failure standard and measuring method to estimate ultimate lateral bearing capacity. For this study, we performed model lateral load tests in Iksan, Jeollabukdo and analyzed load-displacement characteristic of the model. We manufactured model foundation of transmission tower connected with bar and that considered a change of rigidity. We installed various measuring sensors to find general foundation behavior. From the test results, we measured, compared and analyzed load capacities, and then proposed failure standard to estimate bearing capacity for connecting type foundation.

Designs of total elbow arthroplasty have been evolving with clinical experiences. Newer implants are expected to resolve current limitations and improve long term outcomes. This review article focuses on the basic knowledge of unlinked and convertible total elbow arthroplasty. There have been a variety of designs of unlinked total elbow prostheses. Some implants are still used in the market, while others are no longer commercially available. Modified and newer designs include more congruent contact surface, stemmed implant, and radiocapitellar arthroplasty. Two convertible elbow prostheses have been developed, and one implant is currently available in Korea. Conversion from an unlinked to a linked mode is performed by adding a linking cap. Unlinked total elbow arthroplasty, which restores native elbow kinematics, has a biomechanical rationale of lowering polyethylene wear and loosening of implants. It can be indicated in younger and higher demand patients, who have adequate bone stock and soft tissues. Convertible total elbow arthroplasty broadens implant selection and simplifies revision surgery. These newer prostheses possibly improve the long term outcomes and resolve disadvantages of linked prostheses in total elbow arthroplasty.

연결형 dominating set기반의 라우팅 알고리즘에서 잦은 dominating set의 재구성은 루트 손실로 인한 전송 에러를 발생시키기 때문에, 노드의 잔여 전력량과 이동성을 고려하여 게이트웨이 노드를 선택하여야 한다. 또한 같은 지역에 노드가 집중되어 있다면 매체를 공유하는 무선 네트워크의 특성상 병목으로 인한 충돌 및 지연 등이 야기 될 가능성이 크다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 노드의 잔여 전력량 및 이동성, 이웃 노드수의 가중 가산 값에 비례하여 이웃 구성 통보 메시지 (neighbor set advertisement message)의 브로드캐스팅을 지연시키는 방법을 통해 연결형 dominating set의 재구성을 최소화 하여 신뢰성 있고 효율적인 데이터 전송을 보장하는 새로운 연결형 dominating set 구성 방법을 제안하고 다양한 상황에서의 실험을 통해 그 성능을 비교 평가하였다.

네트워크 연결형 가상화스토리지 기술의 대표로서 SAN(Storage Area Network)와 NAS(Network Attached Storage) 및 IP SAN이 있다. NAS와 SAN은 시스템 통합, 빠르고 편리한 설치, 중앙 관리, 편리한 백업, 고가용성, 데이터 공유의 장점을 가지고 있다. 현재까지는 SAN 제품들 간 호환성 문제나 투자비용의 문제 등으로 인하여 시장 형성이 빠르지 못하나 SAN 환경에 대한 투자가 증가하고 있다. 그리고 앞으로는 서버 종속적인 가상화스토리지 시스템의 증가세는 둔화되고 NAS 또는 SAN의 가상화스토리지의 성장세가 지속될 것이다. 본 연구에서는 최근의 인터넷 환경으로 인한 컴퓨팅 환경의 변화에 따른 가상화스토리지 시스템에 대한 요구 사항의 분석과 이를 만족하기 위한 스토리지 기술과 네트워크 연결형 가상화스토리지 기술의 NAS와 SAN을 비교하며 네트워크 연결형 가상화스토리지 시스템에 관련된 표준화에 대하여 연구하였다.

광 인터넷의 개방형 인터페이스는 광 전달망과 제어 평면의 기술을 독립적으로 진화되게 하며 스위치의 구현을 단순화 시킨다. GSMP 프로토콜 기반의 개방형 인터페이스를 적용한 OBS 제어는 신호 프로토콜 및 GSMP 프로토콜의 실행 오버헤드로 인하여 연결설정의 지연을 증가시키는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 GSMP 인터페이스를 이용하여 OBS 스위치를 제어하는 방안과 연결설정의 지연을 개선시키기 위하여 집중형 연결 서버를 이용한 병렬형 연결설정 메커니즘을 제안한다.

B-ISDN의 가입자망 내에 도입된 광대역 액세스 망은 다양한 유형의 가입자들을 서비스 노드로 집선 또는 다중화하는 기능을 수행한다. 액세스 망의 ATM 연결을 동적으로 제어하기 위한 VB5.2 인터페이스의 프로토콜로는 B-ANCC가 있으며, 가입자망의 연결 및 호 처리를 위한 프로토콜로 DSS2, 국간 망에서는 B-ISUP이 표준화되어 있다. 전송 시스템의 각 구간마다 서로 다른 프로토콜들이 사용되므로 이들 프로토콜간의 연동 기능이 필요하며, 순차형 연동 방식과 병렬형 연동 방식이 제안되어 있다. 순차형 연동 방식은 VB5.2 인터페이스 프로토콜의 응답이 올 때까지 기다린 후, 국간 망 프로토콜의 연동을 진행하는 방식으로 동작하고, 병렬형 연동 방식은 VB5.2 인터페이스 프로토콜과 국간 망 프로토콜의 연동을 동시에 진행하는 방식을 사용한다. 본 논문에서는 ATM 연결등에 대한 순차형 및 병렬형 연동 방식의 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 연동 방식이 연결 설정 지연 및 완료비에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다.
