The emf of a permanent magnet multi-phase BLAC(Brushless AC) motor is generally a non-sinusoidal or a non-ideal trapezoid wave. So, conventional modeling using a sinusoidal or an ideal trapezoid emf can result in errors to simulate and analyze the properties of a multi-phase BLAC motor. To reduce the modeling error, this paper proposes a phase variable model, which is obtained from a hybrid modeling technique consisting of Finite Element Analysis(FEA) based circuits and equations. Since the phase model parameters including the emf waveform were obtained using FEA, the proposed hybrid modeling technique can be used to implement a simulation model for multi-phase BLAC motors with any emf voltage waveforms. Adequacy of the proposed model was established from the simulation and experimental results for a seven-phase BLAC motor.

This study assessed the water use vulnerability for 12 basins of South Korea. The annual runoff of 12 basins are derived using a Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) and the calculated runoff per unit area and population are compared with each basin. The 18 indicators are selected in order to assess the vulnerability. Those are classified by aspects of demand, loss and supply of water use. Their weighting values used Entropy method to determine objective weights. To quantitatively assess the water use vulnerability, the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) based on multi-criteria decision making are applied. The results show that the water availability vulnerability of Hyeongsan River has the highest value followed by Sapgyo River; Dongjin River; Seomjin River; Anseong River; Mangyung River; Nakdong River; Tamjin River; Youngsan River, Geum River; Taehwa River; and Han River. The result of this study has a capability to provide references for the index deveopment of climate change vulnerability assessment.

Although there are many kinds of method in treatment of tracheal stenosis, tracheal resection and primary anastomosis can be performed for management of various kinds of tracheal stenosis because it is considered the most anatomical ideal therapeutic modality. During a 10-year period we performed 18 tracheal resection on 18 patients with no operative mortality and some morbidity. 13 patients had tracheal stenosis caused by endotracheal intubation [eight patients or tracheostomy [five patients ; and five patients caused by a variety of neoplastic lesions [four primary and one secondary . The length of tracheal stenosis were various from 1.5cm to 5.5cm and site of tracheal stenosis were cervical[17patients and thoracic [one patient . Operative techniques were tracheal resection and primary anastomosis[18 patients and additional procedures were cricoid cartilage reconstruction with costal cartilage [one patient , primary repair of esophagus[one patient and suprahyoid laryngeal release technique[eight patients without any complications. We have eight complications; tracheal restenosis were developed in five patients[growth of grannulation tissue at anastomotic site in three patients, delayed restenosis in two patients , anastomotic disruption in one patient, hoarseness and pneumonia in each of two patients. We managed tracheal complications with T-tube insertion in two patients, permanent tracheostomy in three patients and insertion of Gianturco tracheal stent in one patient, but tracheal stent did not reveal good result because it caused persistent production of sputum. We concluded that it is necessary to access full length of normal trachea including suprahyoid laryngeal release technique to avoid anastomotic tension in tracheal surgery and develope new ideal techniques to manage postoperative tracheal complications, because we suppose tracheal complications are developed due to anastomotic tension.

Fibrous dysplasia is a relatively rare disease but the management would be quite challenging. Because this is not a malignant tumor, the preservation of the facial contour and the various functions seems to be important in treatment planning. Until now the facial bone reconstruction with autogenous bone would be the standard. Although the autogenous bone would be the ideal one for facial bone reconstruction, donor site morbidity would be the inevitable problem in many cases. Meanwhile, various types of allogenic and alloplastic materials have been also used. However, facial bone reconstruction with many alloplastic material have produced no less complications including infection, exposure, and delayed wound healing. Because the 3D printing technique evolved so fast that 3D printed titanium implant were possible recently. The aim of this trial is to try to restore the original maxillary anatomy as possible using the 3D printing model, based on the mirrored three dimensional CT images based on the computer simulation. Preoperative computed tomography (CT) data were processed for the patient and a rapid prototyping (RP) model was produced. At the same time, the uninjured side was mirrored and superimposed onto the traumatized side, to create a mirror-image of the RP model. And we molded Titanium mesh to reconstruct three-dimensional maxillary structure during the operation. This prefabricated Titanium-mesh implant was then inserted onto the defected maxilla and fixed. Three dimensional printing technique of titanium material based on the computer simulation turned out to be successful in this patient. Individualized approach for each patient could be an ideal way to restore the facial bone.

The skull defect can be made after the trauma, oncologic problems or neurosurgery. The skull reconstruction has been the challenging issue in craniofacial fields for a long time. So far the skull reconstruction with autogenous bone would be the standard. Although the autogenous bone would be the ideal one for skull reconstruction, donor site morbidity would be the inevitable problem in many cases. Meanwhile various types of allogenic and alloplastic materials have been also used. However, skull reconstruction with many alloplastic material have produced no less complications including infection, exposure, and delayed wound healing. Because the 3D printing technique evolved so fast that 3D printed titanium implant were possible recently.

Preoperative computed tomography (CT) data were processed for the patient and a rapid prototyping (RP) model was produced. At the same time, the uninjured side was mirrored and superimposed onto the traumatized side, to create a mirror-image of the RP model. And we fabricated Titanium implant to reconstruct three-dimensional orbital structure in advance, using the 3D printer. This prefabricated Titanium-implant was then inserted onto the defected skull and fixed. Three dimensional printing technique of titanium material based on the computer simulation turned out to be very successful in this patient. Individualized approach for each patient could be an ideal way to manage the traumatic patients in near future.

The focus on the issues surrounding spent nuclear fuel and lifetime extension of old nuclear power plants continues to grow nowadays. A transparent decision-making process to identify the best suitable nuclear fuel cycle (NFC) is considered to be the key task in the current situation. Through this study, an attempt is made to develop an equilibrium model for the NFC to calculate the material flows based on 1 TWh of electricity production, and to perform integrated multicriteria decision-making method analyses via the analytic hierarchy process technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution, preference ranking organization method for enrichment evaluation, and multiattribute utility theory methods. This comparative study is aimed at screening and ranking the three selected NFC options against five aspects: sustainability, environmental friendliness, economics, proliferation resistance, and technical feasibility. The selected fuel cycle options include pressurized water reactor (PWR) once-through cycle, PWR mixed oxide cycle, or pyroprocessing sodium-cooled fast reactor cycle. A sensitivity analysis was performed to prove the robustness of the results and explore the influence of criteria on the obtained ranking. As a result of the comparative analysis, the pyroprocessing sodium-cooled fast reactor cycle is determined to be the most competitive option among the NFC scenarios.

This paper introduces a pre-compensation filter for compensating dispersive and resonant properties experienced along the usage of non-ideal wideband antennas in impulse communication systems. It has been well blown that the transmitted impulse signal becomes deformed because of dispersive and resonant characteristics. Accordingly, in spite of using ideal template signal at the correlator in coherent receiver, these impairments degrade overall performance attributed to low level of coherence. To overcome this problem this paper exploits a realization technique of pre-compensation filter purposely installed at transmitter whose stability is automatically guaranteed because it has an inversion form of minimum-phase ARMA (Auto-Regressive Moving Average) system. The performance of proposed scheme will be shown in results from computer simulations to verify its affirmative impact on impulse communication system with regarding several distinctively shaped antennas.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate Ultrasonic devices in root canal enlargement, about the effects on the canal shape and on the cutting ability beyond the curvature in curved canals. 180 resin blocks with $40^{\circ}$ curvature in apical third and 16mm long canal were made of epoxy resin and smooth broaches. These blocks were devided into six groups. According to the devices (ENAC$^{(R)}$, HARMOSONIC$^{(R)}$, Sonic Air MM 3000$^{(R)}$) and files (Zipperer file, H-file, Flexofile, K-file, Sharper file), five groups were instrumented one minute with # 15 files, then the enlarged size was measured. And # 20 files were used again in the same groups, then the enlarged size was measured. In control group, the time which was taken to enlarge the canal from # 15 to # 20 by hand technique was measured. The data was analyzed statistically. Then the enlarged shapes were evaluated in six groups with the stereomicroscope and recorded in ideal and non-ideal canal shape to compare the effects of ultrasonic devices on the canal shape. Only the ideal shaped canals were used in the study whether the cutting ability beyond the curvature in curved canals was, or not. The files with whole flutes, no flutes, and flutes in apical 5mm only were used. The weight differences of pre-and post-instrumentation by Sonic Air MM 3000$^{(R)}$ for two minutes were compared. The results were as follow: 1. Intracanal instrumentation for 1 minute with ultrasonic devices using # 15 and # 20 file in curved root canal of the epoxy resin block can not reach to the next file size. 2. Sonic Air MM 3000$^{(R)}$ shows higher cutting ability than the other two devices (p=0.001), however the percentage of non-ideal canal shape was the highest. 3. Two ultrasonic devices except Sonic Air MM 3000 considered normal in ideal canal shaping ability. 4. little cutting ability was shown beyond the curvature of curved canals.

Modern theories and concepts of occlusion for implants and natural teeth have originated in complete denture construction. Bilateral balanced occlusion as the occlusal scheme of choice has a long history in complete denture construction. The reason that occlusion has always been a consideration in the provision of removable prosthetics is because the adoption of good occlusal practice has a significant and immediate impact on the overall success of the treatment, as it affects denture stability. However, clinicians must remember that there are multiple ways, both successful and unsuccessful, to complete the restoration of a patient's occlusion. The goal is to meet the physiologic, functional, and esthetic needs of the individual patient while applying knowledge, accurate diagnosis, experience, clinical judgement, and attention to detail. This paper describes the features of an ideal occlusion in removable prosthodontics, why these features make it ideal for denture stability, and some technique for achieving these aims.

This paper suggests on-load torque measurement for 3 phase induction motors by input -voltage and current utilizing symmetric coordinate analysis technique on the basis of the induction motor equivalent circuit. In this paper, two cases are treated with, i.e, one is the case where the motors' exciting current and primary leakage impedance voltage drop are compensated automatically, adopting the ideal wattmeter whose current coil impedance and voltage coil impedance are 0 and .inf. respectively, and the other is the case where non-ideal wattmeter is adopted and the compensation above is made by computation. As a result of the case study, following conclusions are obtained. 1) By proper combination of the error propagation law and the limit of power consumption, the desirable overall measurement error of the apparatus can be obtained on the basis of the inherent errors of CT and PT. 2) The measurement error is larger in current simulation circuit than in voltage simulation circuit. 3) Between the two cases, the latter is more advantageous than the former from the viewpoint of feasibility and the measurement error. 4) As the attachment of Ammeter in the current simulation circuit influences the measurement error considerably, its internal impedance should be large considerably. 5) The larger the consumption power of the apparatus is, the easier the feasibility is.
