Maxillary sinus lift for dental implant installation is a well-known and versatile technique; new techniques are presented based on the physiology of intrasinus bone repair. The aim of this review was to determine the status of graftless maxillary sinus lift and analyze its foundations and results. A search was conducted of the literature between 1995 and 2015 in the Medline, ScienceDirect, and SciELO databases using the keywords "maxillary sinus lift," "blood clot," "graftless maxillary sinus augmentation," and "dental implant placement." Ten articles were selected for our analysis of this technique and its results. Despite the limited information, cases that were followed for at least six months and up to four years had a 90% success rate. Published techniques included a lateral window, elevation of the sinus membrane, drilling and dental implant installation, descent of the membrane with variations in the installation of the lateral wall access and suturing. The physiology behind this new bone formation response and the results of the present research were also discussed. We concluded that this is a promising and viable technique under certain inclusion criteria.

충주댐 및 소양강댐 유역에 대해 현재 한국수자원공사에서 개발 사용되고 있는 저류함수 유출모형에 최적화 기법을 적용하여 모형을 효율적으로 자동보정 하기위함이 본 연구의 목적이다. 최적화 기법으로는 다양한 조건하에서도 해의 안정성이 Gradient-Based 방법보다 우수한 직접 탐색법(Direct Search Method)의 하나인 Pattern-Search법으로 선정하였으며 목적함수로는 산정된 유출과 관측치의 편차의 제곱에 대한 누계치로 정의하였다. 합성유입량(Synthetic Inflow)을 이용한 민감도 분석에 의해 매개변수 5개(유역 저류상수 및 지체시간, 포화우량, 하도의 지체시간)를 결정변수로 선정하였다. 또한 실시간 모형의 보정을 위하여 최적화 모형의 수렴조건을 분석한 결과 P-S 법의 증분 감소횟수 2회가 합리적으로 나타났다. 본 모형을 충주댐 및 소양강댐의 과거 홍수사상에 대해 적용하였으며 댐지점에서 전체유역을 일괄 보정하는 방법과 댐 상류 수위국을 기준으로 나눈 중유역별로 일괄 보정하는 방법을 채택하여 분석하였다. 실시간 보정된 모형의 예측기능을 시험한 결과 상당한 오차발생의 여지가 충분하며 중유역별 매개변수의 보정은 대유역 일괄보정에 비해 예측에 따른 오차를 줄일 수 있는 방법의 하나이다. 또한 최적화 기법에 의한 매개변수의 자동 보정은 시행착오에 의한 수동보정의 경우보다 시간 및 노력면에서 효율적이며 보다 신뢰성 있는 보정을 실시 할 수 있다.

In this paper, a decision method using multiple threshold values for PN code acquisition in Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access (DS-CDMA) systems is described. We apply this technique to the conventional double dwell serial search algorithm and analyze it in terms of mean code acquisition time. For the analysis, we present mathematical model of proposed algorithm and also perform the simulation under IMT-2000 channel models. Numerical results show that our proposed scheme outperforms the conventional one by 0.2 - 0.5 sec with respect to the mean code acquisition time because multiple threshold values mitigate the possible decline in search performance caused by the use of a single threshold.

Advanced analysis and optimal design of semi-rigid space steel frames were presented. The advanced analysis can predict the combined nonlinear effects of connection, geometry, and material on the behavior and strength of semi-rigid frames. The Kishi-Chen power model was used to describe the nonlinear behavior of semi-rigid connections. Geometric nonlinearity was determined using stability functions. Material nonlinearity was determined using the Column Research Council (CRC) tangent modulus and the parabolic function. The direct search method proposed by Choi and Kim was used as optimization technique. One by one, the member with the largest unit value evaluated using the LRFD interaction equation were placed adjacent to a larger member selected from the database. The objective function was assumed to be the weight of steel frame, while the constraint functions were load-carrying capacities, deflections, inter-story drifts, and the ductility requirements. The member sizes determined using the proposed method were compared to those derived from the conventional LRFD method.

Advanced analysis can predict the combined nonlinear effects of connection, geometry, and material on the behavior and strength of semi-rigid frames. The Kishi-Chen power model was used to describe the nonlinear behavior of semi-rigid connections. Geometric nonlinearity was determined using stability functions. On the other hand, material nonlinearity was determined using the Column Research Council (CRC) tangent modulus and parabolic function. The direct search method proposed by Choi and Kim was used as optimization technique. The member with the largest unit value evaluated using the LRFD interaction equation was replaced one by one with an adjacent larger member selected from the database. The objective function was assumed as the weight of steel frame, with the constraint functions accounting for load-carrying capacities, deflections. inter-story drifts, and ductility requirement. Member sizes determined by the proposed method were compared with those derived using the conventional LRFD method.

NAVTEX system is an international automated direct-printing service, broadcast on 5181kHz and 490kHz, for the promulgation of navigational and meteorological warnings and urgent information to ships. With our government's adoption of the international convention for SAR(Search and Rescue) in 1993, various trials for the installation of NAVTEX system have been executed by the government committee, relating laboratory and experts. An important consideration of the installation for NAVTEX system is the availability that could broadcast messages written in korean letter. Also, the receiver which can process the signal demodulated from the two frequencies, 518kHz and 490kHz, should be developed and supplied in domestic. In this paper, the code table and algorithm for conversions between NAVTEX characters and Korean Letters are studied, and signal processing techniques of code conversion are developed. Circuit design and implementation of the NAVTEX simulator using the Direct Digital Synthesizer are discussed, code conversion algorithm and signal processing technique of the NAVTEX transmission are programmed in its circuits. For evaluating the its functional characteristics, receiving module which has I-Q channel structure is designed. From the measurements of simulator, the characteristics show the frequency stability of the $(\pm)2Hz$ and Spurious free dynamic range is -63dBc. And the simulator can generate simultaneously wanted signal and several interfere signals. So, its capability is valuable for designers of the transmitting system and NAVTEX receiver, for provider as testing facilities of the type approval.

Generally, truss design has been determined by the designer's experience and intuition. But if we perform the most economical structural design we must consider not only cross-sections of members but also configurations(howe, warren and pratt types etc.) of single truss as the number of panel and truss height. The purpose of this study is to develope automated optimum design techniques for steel truss structures considering cross-sections of members and shape of trusses simultaneously. As the results, it could be possible to find easily the optimum solutions subject to design conditions at the preliminary structural design stage of the steel truss structures. In this study, the objective function is expressed as the whole member weight of trusses, and the applied constraints are as stresses, slenderness ratio, local buckling, deflection, member cross-sectional dimensions and truss height etc. The automated optimum design algorithm of this study is divided into three-level procedures. The first level on member cross-sectional optimization is performed by the sequential unconstrained minimization technique(SUMT) using dynamic programming method. And the second level about truss height optimization is applied for obtaining the optimum truss height by three-equal interval search method. The last level of optimization is applied for obtaining the optimum panel number of truss by integer programming method. The algorithm of multi-level optimization programming technique proposed in this study is more helpful for the economical design of plane trusses as well as space trusses.

데이터와 파일의 개수가 증가함에 따라 효율적인 파일 검색 기법에 대한 요구가 증가하고 있다. 현재까지 제안된 파일 탐색 기법은 탐색 시간이 매우 오래 걸리거나, 미리 인덱싱 과정을 거쳐야 하기 때문에 사용자가 원하는 시점에 빠르고 효율적인 파일 탐색을 제공하기 어렵다는 단점을 지닌다. 본 논문에서는 디스크의 메타 데이터 영역을 직접 접근함으로써 고속의 파일 검색을 가능하게 해주는 효율적인 검색 기법을 제안하고자 한다. 본 기법은 메타 데이터가 서로 비슷한 영역에 위치한다는 파일 시스템의 특징을 활용함으로써 디스크 내의 데이터를 고속으로 탐색하고, 이를 DB로 구성함으로써 실시간 검색을 지원한다. 또한 파일 시스템 내의 변경 사항을 빠르게 추적하여 DB를 업데이트 할 수 있다는 장점을 지닌다. 본 논문에서 제안한 검색 기법을 다수의 시스템에서 평가한 결과 기존의 기법 대비 약 20~50배의 탐색 시간 향상과 10초 미만에 실시간 검색이 가능한 상태를 구성 할 수 있음을 확인 할 수 있었다.

This study investigated the degrees of knowledge management processes according to the levels of social capital(i.e., inter-departmental communication, trust, cooperation and integration) as well as information technology(IT) infrastructure(i.e., knowledge storage and transfer IT, and knowledge search IT) in Korean manufacturing firms. We also demonstrated the differences in organizational performance under various degrees of knowledge management processes. Through cluster analysis with social capital variables, we classified sample firms into five groups; 'the highest firms', 'higher firms', 'middle firms', 'lower firms', and 'the lowest firms'. It was also observed that the degrees of knowledge management processes and organizational performance in 'the highest firms' is the highest. With a structural equation modeling technique, the causal relationships among social capital, IT infrastructure, knowledge management processes, and organizational performance were confirmed. Hence, it is concluded that social capital and IT infrastructure have direct effects on knowledge management processes, and indirectly influence organizational performance through the degrees of knowledge management processes.
