Incidence and mortality rate of maxillofacial infection is relatively low in the era of antibiotics. Despite the use of antibiotics, delayed treatment, underlying systemic diseases, drug-resistant microorganisms may result in life-threatening situations. The deep neck infection developed from odontogenic infection may result in sepsis, mediastinitis, aspiration pneumonia, asphyxia. Sepsis is the most dangerous complication which can quickly result in a number of lethal situations. The treatment of sepsis includes awareness of such complication, use of sensitive antibiotics, removal of infection source, and hemodynamic, respiratory and metabolic support. We experienced a patient who died of sepsis, which developed from odontogenic infection. The initial diagnosis was a buccal space cellulitis. However, in spite of medical and surgical treatment, this progressed to Ludwig's angina and then deep neck infection and finally sepsis. On the 10th hospital day, the patient died of multiorgan failure caused by sepsis.

Splint therapy, the immobilization of teeth, has been done for patient's masticatory comforts and an adjunctive aid in periodontal therapy. Mandibular premolars are frequently splinted in many distal extension removable partial denture cases. But splinting is an extensive restoration that may not be conservative of tooth structure and may prove to be quite costly to the patient. The two dimensional finite element analysis method was used to determine the magnitude and mode of distribution of the stresses of the periodontal ligament and supporting alveolar bone when abutments with different periodontal supports were splinted and distal-extension removable partial denture was subjected to different loading schemes. The results were as follows : 1. When abutments were splinted, stresses moved from apico-distal to apico-mesial of terminal abutment on a vertical force and from disto-alveolar crest to apex on a distally directed force. But stresses were generally diminished on a mesially directed force. 2. As vertical bone loss was proceeding, most of stresses were transmitted to residual ridge and the rest of stresses were concentrated on apex of distal abutment. But these apical stresses were minimized when abutments were splinted. 3. As mesially inclined bone loss was proceeding, it seemed to be dangerous that many stresses were concentrated on the distal alveolar crest, especially in the distally directed load case. Abutments splinting decreased the alveolar crestal stresses but not enough. 4. For all vertical stresses were effectively decreased on splinting, stresses were concentrated as highly on apico-mesial area of distal abutment in distally directed load cases as the distal inclination of bone level was severe. 5. The directions and magnitudes of abutment movements were decreased with teeth splinting.

Hydraulic excavator is one of the most widely used heavy machines in construction sites including dismantling. In the dismantling sites, the excavators equipped with crusher or breaker carry out dangerous operations, so drivers are always exposed to unexpected danger. For safety operation, remote control of the hydraulic excavator has been studied using proportional control valve, which requires an appropriate motion control of its bucket tip. In this case, kinematics and dynamics analysis have to be preceded through modeling of excavator. However, it is difficult to acquire reasonable results from the analysis due to insufficient information of physical parameters such as mass of each links and locations of mass centers, etc. This study deals with the trajectory control of bucket tip, which is based on experimental estimation of cylinder output force. The estimated forces are fed into the control of each cylinder in order to compensate gravitational and frictional effects in the cylinders. The control was applied to horizontal trajectories that are for flattening work.

Construction manager must consider the possibility on the failure of the project in advance and the contingency to provide against the situation, those of which is a dangerous condition not to predict. If they have a quick decision without understanding the contingency, the over-cost in the total cost would be continuously accumulated, and be a barrier at a project going in progress. A various risk could not be coped with at a time to decide either going or sloping the project until the contingency is applied from the first step to progress the project. But a case to apply the contingency to the construction for the investment or the analysis of the project is a little. The process to evaluate it is also absent. The propose of this paper is the followed ; To establish the total cost including the risk first of all, devide into plus or minus factor of the cost, and then the process to calculate the contingency must be suggested by the regression analysis.

Mold industry has the difficulty to employ young people as the successors of the skilled workers, because it has been regarded as a 3D-jobs(dirty, difficult, and dangerous). To overcome this situation, thus, manufacturing technologies maintained in the factory should be systemized, and engineering systems should support unskilled workers to do their jobs without any difficulty. As a research of developing the supporting system, this study proposes a decision support system that facilitates unskilled workers to easily select high quality NC-data, as well as to increase productivity. The proposed system is assumed to follow a CAM operation scenario that consists of next three steps: 1) identifying several process plans and enumerating feasible unit machining operations (UMOs) from material and part surface information, 2) creating all feasible NC-data based on UMOs using a commercial CAM system, 3) selecting the best NC data among the feasible NC data using four screening criteria, such as machining accuracy, machining allowance, cutting load, and processing time. A case study on the machining of a camera core mold is provided to demonstrate the proposed system.

Nowadays LNG has been beginning to take the place of petroleum as fuel all over the world and VLCC of LNG will take the same sea routes that had been used by VLCC tankers of petroleum in the last part of the 20th century. The transportation of LNG by a VLCC include more dangerous nature of sea peril than that of petroleum. We already know the dimensions of a disaster a LNG tanker could bring about in the case of the LNG tanker, Yuyo-Maru No. 10 in the Tokyo Bay of Japan in 1974. From the point of safety when we construct a LNG base or LNG pier in the base, the appropriate government authority and constructing company had better take sea pilots or some ships handling experts to participate in a prior consultation of the design of the project. A G/T 100,000 ton LNG base and pier were completed in November of 1996 in Inchon harbour in Korea and VLCC of LNG of G/T 100,000 ton class have been entering into the base ever since. This study was started and completed In comply with the requisition of the Sea Pilot Association of Inchon harbour in advance of the opening of the LNG base. As the entrance and exit channels leading to Inchon harbour were constructed in the years of 1930s, it was one of the most pressing works for Inchon sea pilots in 1996 to certify the method of safe passing maneuvering of a G/T 100,000 ton of LNG tanker through the Pudo narrow channel prior to commencing actual piloting of the VLCC of LNG. The authors made some mathematical models computing maneuvering of a vessel changing her course with her control surface through a narrow channel and computed maneuvering of a G/T 100,000 ton of LNG tanker and also made maneuvering simulations of the vessel by a desk-top simulator. The results of computations and simulations are well coincided with each other in qualitative aspects to assure safe passing of the VLCC of LNG.

In general, when manufacturing a semiconductor, a number of hazardous and dangerous substances such as flammability, toxic, and corrosiveness are used. In particular, semiconductors are manufactured using specialty gas in processes such as CVD and etching. The specialty gas is filled in a container in the state of compressed or liquefied gas, and a gas cylinder cabinet is used as a facility for supplying this specialty gas to the semiconductor manufacturing process. When a accident occurs in the gas supply system, gas is released through a pressure release device installed in the gas cylinder to secure the safety of the supply system. In this case, the gas released inside the gas cabinet, there is a risk of leaking to the outside. After that, by analyzing the gas flow in the gas cabinet, it is intended to identify the risk associated with leak and to provide measures to prevent accidents.

The spatial mapping of risk is very useful data in planning for disaster preparedness. This research presents a methodology for making the landslide life risk map in the Boeun area which had considerable landslide damage following heavy rain in August, 1998. We have developed a three-stage procedure in spatial data analysis not only to estimate the probability of the occurrence of the natural hazardous events but also to evaluate the uncertainty of the estimators of that probability. The three-stage procedure consists of: (i)construction of a hazard prediction map of "future" hazardous events; (ii) validation of prediction results and estimation of the probability of occurrence for each predicted hazard level; and (iii) generation of risk maps with the introduction of human life factors representing assumed or established vulnerability levels by combining the prediction map in the first stage and the estimated probabilities in the second stage with human life data. The significance of the landslide susceptibility map was evaluated by computing a prediction rate curve. It is used that the Bayesian prediction model and the case study results (the landslide susceptibility map and prediction rate curve) can be prepared for prevention of future landslide life risk map. Data from the Bayesian model-based landslide susceptibility map and prediction ratio curves were used together with human rife data to draft future landslide life risk maps. Results reveal that individual pixels had low risks, but the total risk death toll was estimated at 3.14 people. In particular, the dangerous areas involving an estimated 1/100 people were shown to have the highest risk among all research-target areas. Three people were killed in this area when landslides occurred in 1998. Thus, this risk map can deliver factual damage situation prediction to policy decision-makers, and subsequently can be used as useful data in preventing disasters. In particular, drafting of maps on landslide risk in various steps will enable one to forecast the occurrence of disasters.

The ${\gamma}$-Fe$_2$O$_3$ compounds were oxidized in the furance after gas detecting sensor made molding as the Fe$_3$O$_4$ the synthesized Fe$_3$O$_4$, by ferrous sulfate and sodium hydroxide. Their sensities on carbon monoxide, ethyl alcohol and L. P. G. were measured at various temperatures, respectively. And then their electrical resistivities, thermal properties (D.T.A. ＆ T.G.A.), were examined about their having an effet on the gas-sensing in company with the effect of pure ${\gamma}$-Fe$_2$O$_3$ and the detecting sensor ${\gamma}$-Fe$_2$O$_3$, which reacts with $K_2$CO$_3$ in the hydrothermal coundition, and the electrical conductive mechanism was reflected simultaneously. It was observed that the electrical conductivities and response ratios showed highest value at the endothermic temperature part, 300~35$0^{\circ}C$ of D.T.A.―curve. Consequently, the response ratios and response times of the hydrothermal detecting sensor were higher than that of pure detecting sensor, the specific surface areas were the highest at the endothermic range of D.T.A.-curve. These response ratios of detecting sensor for $K_2$CO$_3$, process at hydrothermal condition on carbon monoxide appeared higher than that on ethyl alcohol and in case of L.P.G. last.

Recently electric shock accidents constantly occurs caused by the street lamps. Especially the chance of electric shock accident is high when the street lamp submerges by heavy rainfall. Electric shock accident occurs mostly on the low voltage facilities of 220V, but the awareness of its danger is insufficient. The electric shock accident by street lamp voltage of 220V is very dangerous because it is installed in the street which is easily in contact with people. But there are insufficient investigation concerning the affect to hwnan body of underwater electric potential distribution as the distance changes from the leakage object in case of short circuit. In this thesis, the analysis will be made on the affect of underwater Earth leakage to human body and electric potential distribution in underwater, and to draw a comparison between electric shock channel and electric shock mechanism by experimenting on the affect to human body of underwater electric shock as the distance changes from the leakage object.
