Facial asymmetry is particularly associated with mandible among other facial bones and it could be either congenital or acquired. Congenital factors are related to Treacher Collin syndrome, Pierre Robin syndrome, hemifacial microsomia and other various syndromes. Acquired factors are such as damaged or diseased growing condyles, hormonal disorder, oral mal-habit, muscular force, tumor, infection and so on. Diagnosis and treatment of facial asymmetry are complicated due to differences in sizes and positions of mandibles. The aspects of facial asymmetry is various and complicated upon each individual. Depending on causes of the facial asymmetry, there also are morphological differences. For such reasons, precise anatomical analysis and diagnosis of the facial asymmetry are essential before any surgical procedure followed by the appropriate treatment plan. This case is regarding a 21-year old patient diagnosed as the facial asymmetry due to an infantile maxillofacial surgery. Employing various morphological evaluations, potential problems during the procedure are predicted beforehand. This case reports a favorable result of sagittal split ramus osteotomy performing the oblique vertical bone cutting in posterior-superior of the mandibular second molar.

The purpose of this study was to isolate and identify the bacteria in osteomyelitis lesion of 3 patients. Two lesions were due to the post-infection after extraction. The other was resulted from mal-fixation of both sides of mandibular angles. Pus samples were collected by needle aspiration from the lesion and examined by culture method. Bacterial culture was performed in three culture systems (anaerobic, $CO_2$, and aerobic incubator). Identification of the bacteria was performed by 16S rRNA gene cloning and nucleotide sequencing method. Our results showed that Streptococci species was predominantly isolated in both lesions of extraction socket. Only one species (Proteus vulagris) was detected in lesion of mandibular angle. This study was not sufficient to identify the causative bacteria in those osteomyelitis. However, our data may be offered the clue to solve the problem.

There has been some research into a speech system for communications between those who are hearing impaired and those who hear normally, but the system has been pursued in inefficient teaching ways in which existing teachers teach each individual due to social indifference and a lack of marketability. In order to overcome such a weakness, there appeared to be a need to develop contents utilizing 3D animation and digital technology. For the investigation of a standard face and a standard spherical shape for the preparation of a character, the study collected sufficient data concerning students in the third-sixth grades in elementary schools in Seoul and Gyeonggi, Korea, and drew up standards for a face and a spherical shape of such students. This data is not merely the basic data of content development for the hearing impaired, but it can also offer a standard measurement and a standard type realistically applicable to them. As a system for understanding conversations by applying 3D character animation and educating self-expression, the character speech animation system supports effective learning for language education for hearing impaired children who need language education within their families and in special education institutions with the combination of 3D technology and motion capture.

Phototoxicity is a complex phenomenon which may involve photochemical reaction and biological response mechanism. This complexicity and iii mal protecting tendency has led to the development of various in-vitro approaches as sensitive, alternative test to the in-vivo phototoxicity test. In this study, we investigated not only the sensitivity of two microorganism, (C. albicans and 5. typhimurium TA 98 about UV) but also a correlation between in-vitro and in-vivo phototoxicity test using UV A and 1 Furthermore, we studied the effect of irradiation method which were as follows 1) irradiate to material and microorganism, simultaneously 2) irradiate to only material 3) irradiate to material and microorganism, respectively In each irradiation method, it showed no significant difference, However we were able to observe the more sensitive phototoxicity in S. typhimurium TA 98 than C. albicans, and the results of in-vitro test using 5. typhimurium TA 98 had a good correlation with those of in-vivo test.

Processed foods were developed using amaranth starch and flours. Amaranth seeds were untreated (UT), defatted (DF), germinated (GM), roasted (RT), popped (POP), and extruded (EX1 and EX2). Amaranth flours showed A-type pattern on X-ray diffractograms, while crystallinity was not observed in POP, EX1, and EX2. POP and EX1 showed highest (740.3%) and lowest (38.5%) water-binding capacities, respectively. Transmittances of RT, POP, EX1, and EX2 flour suspensions were higher than those of others. Transmittance of amaranth starch and flours differed with processing methods. RT, POP, EX1, and EX2 showed higher transmittance at $60^{\circ}C$. Initial pasting temperature of amaranth flours by RVA were $68.1-73.0^{\circ}C$, and peak viscosities of GM and RT were 31.6 and 401.1 RVU, respectively. Melting endotherms of POP, EX1, and EX2 were not observed in DSC thermograms.

Optimum extraction conditions for yield, browning color, electron-donating ability, nitrite-scavenging effect, total polyphenol content, and tyrosinase-inhibitory activity of Flammulina velutipes were determined using response surface methodology through central composite design. Yield of F. velutipes was affected by ethanol concentration, and browning color improved more with the increase of ethanol concentration than microwave power. Nitrite-scavenging effect was improved with increasing ethanol concentration and decreasing microwave power. Electron-donating ability and total polyphenol content were improved with increasing ethanol concentration and microwave power. Tyrosinase-inhibitory effect increased more with decrease in microwave power than with ethanol concentration. The optimal range of extraction conditions for effective component of F. velutipes were $47.21{\sim}76.05$ watt of microwave power, $10.25{\sim}43.56%$ of ethanol concentration, and 5.72 min of extraction time.

Population changes of aerobic bacteria, yeasts, and lactic acid bacteria ware investigated during the fermentation of Kimchis containing 0, 1, 2, 4, and 6% garlic at $21^{\circ}C$. The numbers of aerobic bacteria increased during the first 2 days and decreased thereafter. The higher the garlic concentration of the Kimchis was, the smaller the increase of the aerobic bacterial population was during the initial periods of the fermentations. Garlic concentrations that showed the largest population difference between them after 2-days fermentation were 1% and 2%. The population of lactic acid bacteria also increased only during the first 2 days and was held thereafter. Lactic acid bacterial population increased more at higher garlic concentrations during the initial period of the fermentations and major microorganisms contributed to the increase were Lactobacillus brevis and low acid-producing lactbacilli. Changes of yeasts at the different garlic concentrations during the fermentations were not apparent.

Contingency tables are used to compare counts of n-grams to determine if the n-gram is a true collocation, meaning that the words that make up the n-gram are highly associated in the text. Some statistical methods for identifying collocation are used. They are Kulczinsky coefficient, Ochiai coefficient, Frager and McGowan coefficient, Yule coefficient, mutual information, and chi-square, and so on. But the main problem is that these measures are based ell the assumption of a nor-mal or approximately normal distribution of the variables being sampled. While this assumption is valid in most instances, it is not valid when comparing the rates of occurrence of rare events, and texts are composed mostly of rare events. In this paper we have simply reviewed some statistics about testing association of two words. Some randomization tests to evaluate the significance level in analyzing collocation in large corpora are proposed. A related graph can be used to compare different lest statistics that ran be used to analyze the same contingency table.

A series of torsion shear tests were performed to study the drained stress -strain behavior of medium dense Santa Monica Beach sand under various stress paths. The torque was applied to both clockwise and counterclockwise directions at the end of hollow cylinder specimen. Two clip gages had been previously used to measure the changes in wall thickness and diameter of the specimen. In this study, however, the lateral strain was determined by measuring volume changes in specimen. Specimens were prepared by the air pluviation method and gaseous carbon deozide( CO2) was used to measure precisely volumetric strain in specimen. The drained stress -strain behavior of cohesionless Boils during rotation of principal stress directions was analysed based on the results of torsion shear tests. The coupling of mal stress were applied. It was also found from the test results that the atrial strain at failure decreased with increasing value.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the hospital nurses' knowledge, emergency coping ability and educational need about nursing care for patients applied the home mechanical ventilator (PaHMV) and to compare the variables between yes or not experienced on that. Methods: Participants were 91 hospital nurses who worked at the wards where PaHMV can be highly admitted such as respiratory internal medicine, rehabilitation medicine, neurology and emergency room. Data were collected by questionnaires. The analytic methods were $n(%)/M{\pm}SD$, t-test/ANOVA and $X^2-test/ANCOVA$. Results: Knowledge and emergency coping ability were low as $2.27{\pm}0.52$(4 points) and $78.72{\pm}8.06$(100 points) respectively. But educational need was high as $3.10{\pm}0.34$(4 points). Knowledge and emergency coping ability showed the significant differences between two groups (p<.001, p=.048), and the scores of experienced nurses were higher. But the educational need didn't show the significant difference (p=.974). Conclusion: These findings indicate that education on nursing care of PaHMV is needed for hospital nurse. So we have to develop the educational program on nursing care of PaHMV and then operate it with practice and site education.
