Spinal osteochondroms are very rare, and are thought to arise through a process of progressive endochondral ossification of aberrant cartilage of a growth plate, as a consequence of congenital defect or trauma. A case of diffuse type osteochondroma involving the posterior elements of L1-L5 that progressed after laminectomy in a 33-year-old man is reported. Usually, the spinal osteochondroma shows clear demarcation between tumor margin and normal spine elements, and can be exised completely. However, there was no clear demarcation between tumor and normal spine element in our case and therefore it was not possible to removal completely.

Several heavy metals are known to give some kinds of mental retardation although abnormal X-chromosome is closely connected with genetic disease such as mental retardation. This study dealt with the influence of minerals in the hair of mental retardation people. Minerals were analyzed by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (Sciex Elan 6100, Perkin-Elmer corporation, Foster, CA, USA). The nutritional elements such as Ca, Na, K were higher level (p<0.01) in normal group than in the mental retardation group. The toxic elements such as Cd (p<0.01) and As were higher level in the mental retardation group than in normal group. But Pb is not significant difference among the all groups including normal group.

This paper proposes a method for generating a basis translation matrix between isomorphic extension fields. To generate a basis translation matrix, we need the equality correspondence of a basis between the isomorphic extension fields. Consider an extension field $F_{p^m}$ where p is characteristic. As a brute force method, when $p^m$ is small, we can check the equality correspondence by using the minimal polynomial of a basis element; however, when $p^m$ is large, it becomes too difficult. The proposed methods are based on the fact that Type I and Type II optimal normal bases (ONBs) can be easily identified in each isomorphic extension field. The proposed methods efficiently use Type I and Type II ONBs and can generate a pair of basis translation matrices within 15 ms on Pentium 4 (3.6 GHz) when $mlog_2p$ = 160.

Unexpected postoperative changes, such as growth in rib hump, has been occasionally reported after corrective surgery for scoliosis. However there has been experimental data for explanation of these changes, nor the suggestion of optimal correction method. This numerical study was designed to investigate the main correlating elements in operative kinematics with post-operative changes of vertebral rotation and rib cage deformation in the corrective surgery of scoliosis. To develop a scoliotic spine model automatically, a special program for converting normal spine model to scoliotic spine model was developed. A mathematical finite element model of normal spine including rib cage, sternum, both clavicles, and pelvis was developed with anatomical details. The skeletal deformity of scoliosis was reconstructed, by mapping the X-ray images of a scoliosis into this three dimensional normal spine and rib cage model. The geometric mapping was performed by translating and rotating the spinal colume with the amount analyzed from the digitized 12 built-in coordinate axes in each vertebral image. By utilizing this program, problems generated in mapping procedure such as facet joint overlapping, vertebral body deformity could be automatically resolved.

Generally, diaphragms are installed in the box girder to prevent or decrease the distortion of the cross section. In engineering practice, diaphragms are spaced in 5m intervals without reasonable basis. the usual diaphragm type is solid-plate type. It is considered to be noneconomical design to the almost design engineers. In this paper, the parametric study was performed to present the design proposal about the diaphragm stiffness and spacing only in the single cell box girder. For that, the distortional warping normal stress, bending normal stress and transverse bending normal stress were analyzed using finite element program 'SMB' for the accurate structural analysis.

A flexible three-axial tactile sensor was fabricated on Kapton polyimide film using polymer micromachining technology. Nichrome (Ni:Cr = 8:2) strain gauges were positioned on an etched membrane to detect normal and shear loads. The optimal positions of strain gauges were determined through strain distribution from finite element analysis. The sensor was evaluated by applying normal and shear loads from 0 N to 0.8 N using an evaluation system. Sensitivity of the tactile sensor to normal and shear loads was about 206.6 mV/N and 70.1 mV/N, respectively. The sensor showed good linearity, and its determination coefficient ($R^2$) was about 0.982. The developed sensor can be applied in a curved or compliant surface that requires slip detection and flexibility, such as a robotic fingertip.

GF(2m) 이론은 switching 이론과 컴퓨터 연산, 오류 정정 부호(error correcting codes), 암호학(cryptography) 등에 대한 폭넓은 응용 때문에 주목을 받아 왔다. 특히 유한체에서의 이산 대수(discrete logarithm)는 one-way 함수의 대표적인 예로서 Massey-Omura Scheme을 비롯한 여러 암호에서 사용하고 있다. 이러한 암호 system에서는 암호화 시간을 동일하게 두면 고속 연산은 유한체의 크기를 크게 할 수 있어 비도(crypto-degree)를 향상시킨다. 따라서 고속 연산의 필요성이 요구된다. 1981년 Massey와 Omura가 정규기저(normal basis)를 이용한 고속 연산 방법을 제시한 이래 Wang, Troung 둥 여러 사람이 이 방법의 구현(implementation) 및 곱셈기(Multiplier)의 설계에 힘써왔다. 1988년 Itoh와 Tsujii는 국제 정보 학회에서 유한체의 역원을 구하는 획기적인 방법을 제시했다. 1987년에 H, W. Lenstra와 Schoof는 유한체의 임의의 확대체는 원시정규기저(primitive normal basis)를 갖는다는 것을 증명하였다. 1991년 Stepanov와 Shparlinskiy는 유한체에서의 원시원소(primitive element), 정규기저를 찾는 고속 연산 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 이 논문에서는 원시 정규기저를 찾는 Algorithm을 구현(Implementation)하고 이것이 응용되는 문제들에 관해서 연구했다.

In this paper, we have designed the advanced DVT HLSM inserted a permanent magnet into the slot in order to improve the thrust force without increasing the normal force. And it was analyzed the characteristics of thrust force and normal force of the new HLSM by using Finite Element Method and Virtual Work Method. As a result of this paper it was confirmed that the thrust force characteristics of the new HLSM improved about 23% in comparision with DVT HLSM without increasing the normal force.

The brake systems of high-speed train are to be equipped with three different brake systems, such as regenerative brake with regenerative feedback in driving car, a pneumatic disc brake, and non-contact linear eddy-current brake(ECB). The regenerative brake and the pneumatic disc brake are acting on the wheels. Their achievable braking force depends on the adhesive coefficient, which is influenced by the weather condition and speed, between the wheel and The linear eddy current brake gets an economical solution in the high-speed train because of the independence of the adhesive coefficient, no maintenance needed. and the good control characteristics. The braking force and the normal force of ECB for korean high-speed train are analysed by the 2D FEM(Finite Element Method). Finally the normal force is compared with the experiential values to verify the analysis.
