Welding process is of importance to assemble products or structures, but also the process is structural weakness due to stress concentration in welding joint. The fatigue design of welded joint requires time & labor consuming fatigue test because the fatigue life is various according to the depth of joint, joint type and load type etc. In fatigue design codes, they guide to classify welding joints with their shape( BS7608, IIW Documents) and provide fatigue assessment information. In terms of numerical method for fatigue analysis, it is also difficult to decide the stress peak in joint because of mesh sensitivity which means that stress value is varies with element type or size on stress concentration zone. Hot-spot method is used generally, but Battelle of United States proposed Master S-N Curve based on structural stresses converted by mechanical equilibrium theory. In this research, we extracted master S-N curve from Battelle's fatigue test DB including test data of various welding joints to apply on Non-Load-Carrying cruciform Joint. Comparing fatigue results between the case of using normal stress and case of structural stress cor the cruciform Joint, The suggested Battelle method showed successive results.

A 15 years Old girl was admitted with chief complaints of intermittent claudication of lower extremity, dizziness, and headache for 5 years. On admission, malignant hypertension was noted in the upper part of body [190-150/120-110] but femoral & dorsalis pedis pulse could not palpate. Once she had experienced C. V. A. due to hypertension of upper part, about years ago. On auscultation, systolic murmur was audible along the left sternal border. E.C.G. Showed left ventricular hypertrophy pattern, and others within normal limit. Retrograde aortography demonstrated diffuse narrowing of entire thoracic aorta with underdeveloped lower abdominal aorta [below the renal artery] & both common lilac artery, and rich collaterals, but normally visualized greater arteries in the aortic arch. On left posterolasteral thoracotomy, entire descending thoracic aorta revealed marked narrowing with mild perivascular adhesion, but no mediastinal pleura adhesion. These findings suggest as congenital type of atypical coarctation in the entire thoracic aorta with mild secondary change. But histopathology was showed the findings of chronic non-specific aortitis, later. Dacron by pass graft was performed with end to side anastomosis between graft and aortic wall. After operation, all her preoperative symptoms & signs were disappeared, and discharged with good general condition.

Nek6 belongs to NIMA1 (never in mitosis, gene A) related kinase, which was originally identified in Aspergillus nidulans as a serine/threonine kinase critical for cell cycle progression. We noticed that the putative SUMOylation site is localized on the $K^{252}$ residue in $^{251}FKsD^{254}$ of Nek6, based on the consensus sequence ${\Phi}KxE$; where ${\Phi}$ represents L, I, V or F and x is any amino acid. We observed that the Nek6 SUMO mutant (K252R) has decreased protein kinase activity, nuclear speckle localization and protein stability, compared with that of the Nek6 wild type. However, the Nek6 SUMO mutant increased the cell survival rate of COS-1 cells as determined by FACS analysis. Therefore, our data suggest that SUMOylation on the $K^{252}$ residue of Nek6 is required for its normal functions, such as proper nuclear localization, kinase activity and protein stability, to control cell cycle.

In normal grinding abrasive particles of a grinding wheel rotate on planes parallel to the direction of workpiece fred. which may induce continued scratch lines on ground surface as the workpiece feeds. Instead in helical scan grinding the planes make an angle, called a helical angle, with the feeding direction. Thus scratch lines produced by abrasive particles per one revolution are discontinued which implies that the generation of scratch lines are suppressed by the helical scan grinding. In this study some experimental works have been done on the helical scan grinding of glass to find the effects of grinding conditions on the surface roughness and estimate the optimal grinding conditions. The helical angle, fred rate, material removal rate and the wheel speed are taken as factors for three kinds of grinding wheels i.e., coarse(#140 mesh), medium(#400) and fine(#800) diamond wheels. The experiments are scheduled by Taguchi technique and ANOVA has been carried out for the interpretation of the results. As a result of this study effects of the factors are verified quantitatively showing that the major factors are changed according to the wheel's mesh size and the helical angle is one of the influencing factors on the surface quality.

The paper presents a new approach for the analysis of slope stability that is based on the numerical solution of a differential equation, which describes the thrust force distribution within the potential sliding mass. It is based on the evaluation of the thrust force value at the endpoint of the slip line. A coupled approximation of the slip and thrust lines is applied. The model is based on subdivision of the sliding mass into slices that are normal to the slip line and the equilibrium differential equation is obtained as the slice width approaches zero. Opposed to common iterative limit equilibrium procedures the present method is straightforward and gives an estimate of slope stability at the value of the safety factor prescribed in advance by standard requirements. Considering the location of the thrust line within the soil mass above the trial slip line eliminates the possible development of a tensile thrust force in the stable and critical states of the slope. The location of the upper boundary point of the thrust line is determined by the equilibrium of the upper triangular slice. The method can be applied to any smooth shape of a slip line, i.e., to a slip line without break points. An approximation of the slip and thrust lines by quadratic parabolas is used in the numerical examples for a series of slopes.

Vowels are classified by the shapes of vocal tract. These shapes form constriction points along the tract, which have an influence on such vocal tract resonance as F1, F2, F3, and so on. The formant frequency is influenced by aperture and placement of tongue and the intensity is influenced by air pressure of subglottis. The object of this study compares to characterize the spectral outputs of oral and nasal spectra for the formant frequencies and intensity of Korean oral vowels. Subjects consisted of 20 normal persons (10 male and 10 female) without laryngeal pathology. The speech sample included /a/, /e/, /i/, /o/, /u/ of Korean oral vowels. The spectrum of each vowel was analysed by Nasal View and Real Analysis Program using Dr. Speech. The result showed that nasal intensity is decreased manifestly from F1 to F2. But oral intensity and Intensity is decreased little bit from F1 to F2. The most of values of nasal formant frequency is similarity oral formant frequency and Formant frequency or little bit smaller.

By observing the lateral cephalometric radiograms of the Naso-pharynx of the mouth breatheres with adenoid hyperplasia, orthodontists could use the 'discriminant function' as the supplementary diagnotic aid for the malocclusion cases with mouth bloating. The purpose of this study was to ustilize the 'discriminant function' as the indicator to remove the etiologic factor producing the relapse. The author used the 19 boys and 20 girls, who were the nasal-breathers with normal occlusion as the control group, and 16 boys and 20 girls, who were the mouth breathers with adenoid hypaplasia and malocclusion. The age of the both groups was ranged from 12ys to 15ys. Results were as following; 1. There was the difference in the bony structure of Naso-pharynx between the mouth-breathers nasal-breathers. 2. IMRA of the mouth breathers was smaller than the nasal breathers'. 3. The mouth-breathers had the skeletal open bite tendency. 4. Discriminant function: $$D_i=9.85374+ax_2+bx_4+cx_6+dx_7+ex_8$$ a = -0.1211273 b = 0.5908992 c = -1.508446 d = -1.541869 e = 1.404478.

Ion-induced secondary electron emission coefficient $({\gamma})$. of the patterned MgO thin film with geometrical structures has been measured by ${\gamma}$ - FIB(focused ion beam) system. The patterned MgO thin film with geometrical structures has been formed by the mask (mesh of ${\sim}$ $10{\mu}m^{2})$ under electron beam evaporation method. It is found that the higher ${\gamma}$. has been achieved by the patterned MgO thin film than the normal ones without patterning.

We performed a continuous heat treatment experiment for long Si$_2$Sr$_2$CaCuO$_{x}$ (Bi2212) superconductor tapes on copper substrates. A precursor that contains a mixture of Bi$_2$O$_3$, SrCO$_3$, and CaCO$_3$ powders was prepared and screen-printed on Cu tapes. The screen- printed tapes were thermally treated by consecutive processes with various temperature settings using an air-filled tube furnace. The diffraction patterns and the microstructures of the high temperature superconductor thick films were analyzed by X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and optical Microscopy respectively, and the critical temperatures of the superconducting thick films were measured. The critical temperatures of the superconducting films were measured to be about 77K, and the films'crystallographic c-axes were confirmed to be normal to the film surfaces by XRD and morphology observation. We also observed that the thick superconducting layer is formed and aligned on the copper substrate via partial melted state that consists of a liquid phase and a secondary phase.e.

This paper presents an approach to detect premature ventricular contractions(PVC) using the neural network with weighted fuzzy membership functions(NEWFM). NEWFM classifies normal and PVC beats by the trained weighted fuzzy membership functions using wavelet transformed coefficients extracted from the MIT-BIH PVC database. The two most important coefficients are selected by the non-overlap area distribution measurement method to minimize the classification rules that show PVC classification rate of 99.90%. By Presenting locations of the extracted two coefficients based on the R wave location, it is shown that PVC can be detected using only information of the two portions.
