  • This study suggests business strategies by interaction analysis of indicators related construction business and business performance for specialty contractors that provide labor, materials and small sized equipments. To do this research, the data was analyzed for construction orders and business performance indicators of specialty contractors with KRW 7 bil. or more of assets during 1997 through 2010. For specialty contractors that provide labor, materials and smaller sized equipments, the amount of construction orders affects profitability the most and therefore some sort of strategy needs to be established to respond to decrease in operating margin due to dwindling construction orders. In other words, it is determined that increase in the amount of construction orders enhances operation of gross assets as well as the operating margin, ultimately increasing the profitability.

  • Satrec Initiative successfully developed and verified a high-resolution electro-optical camera system, EOS-D Ver.1.0. We designed this system to give improved spatial and radiometric resolution compared with EOS-C series systems. The thermal control subsystem (TCS) of the EOS-D Ver.1.0 uses heaters to meet the opto-mechanical requirements during in-orbit operation and uses different thermal coatings and multi-layer insulation (MLI) blankets to minimize the heater power consumption. Also, we designed and verified a refocusing mechanism to compensate the misalignment caused by moisture desorption from the metering structure. We verified the design margin and workmanship by conducting the qualification level thermal vacuum test. We also performed the verification of thermal math model (TMM) by comparing with thermal balance test results. As a result, we concluded that it faithfully represents the thermal characteristics of the EOS-D Ver.1.0.

  • In this paper, a phase locked loop structure with parallel dual loop which have a different bandwidth has been proposed. The bandwidths depending on transfer functions are obtained through dual loops. Two different bandwidths of each loop are used to suppress noise on the operating frequency range. The proposed phase locked loop has two different voltage controlled oscillator gains to control two different wide and narrow loop filters. Furthermore, it has the locking status indicator to achieve an accurate locking condition. The phase margin of $58.2^{\circ}$ for wide loop and $49.4^{\circ}$ for narrow loop is designed for stable operation and the phase margin of $45^{\circ}$ is maintained during both loops work together. It has been designed with a 1.8V 0.18um complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process. The simulation results show that the proposed phase locked loop works stably and generates a target frequency.

  • The increasing frequency of post-tracheostomy stenosis parallels the increase in the incidence of tracheostomy. The development of stenosis of trachea following the operation of tracheal tumor or tracheostomy is a very serious complication. The continuing need for an adequate tracheal substitute has not been answered, despite the necessities of excision and reconstruction of the trachea to keep for effective ventilation. Experimental tracheal reconstuction, with a prosthesis of heavy Marlex mesh and pericardium, _ vas performed in twelve dogs. Five to six tracheal ring circumferential defects were created and were bridged with heavy Marlex mesh fashioned into a tube of suitable diameter. Group A: A prepared cylinder of Marlex mesh was anastomosed outside the cut ends of the trachea. Group B: The external surface of the prepared cylinder of Marlex mesh was completely covered with suitably sized patch of pericardium and overlapped all margin of the Marlex mesh by 2 to 3 mm in each direction. Group C: The internal surface of the prepared cylinder of Marlex mesh was covered with suitably sized patch of pericardium and overlapped all margin of the Marlex mesh by 2 to 3 mm in each direction. The results of this exepriment were as follow: 1. In group A and B, the graft was well bridged with new granulation and fibrous tissue, and the lumen of trachea kept good patency for effective ventilation.. The interstices of Marlex became uniformly infiltrated with young well vasculated connective tissue. Epithelization has not yet occurred at 4 weeks in each group, but there were evidences of new growing mucosa at grafted site in 6 weeks. The remainder of the prosthesis was completely covered with glistening epithelium and the underlying fibrous tissue became more matured with little inflammation. These findings were more striking in group B than group A. 2. In group C, the covered pericardium was necrotized with stenosis of the lumen of grafted site due to poor blood supply.

  • Backgrounds: The purpose of this study is to discuss the total joint reconstruction surgery for a patient with recurrent ankylosis in bilateral temporomandibular joints (TMJs) using three-dimensional (3D) virtual surgical planning, computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM)-fabricated surgical guides, and stock TMJ prostheses. Case presentation: A 66-year-old female patient, who had a history of multiple TMJ surgeries, complained of severe difficulty in eating and trismus. The 3D virtual surgery was performed with a virtual surgery software (FACEGIDE, MegaGen implant, Daegu, South Korea). After confirmation of the location of the upper margin for resection of the root of the zygoma and the lower margin for resection of the ankylosed condyle, and the position of the fossa and condyle components of stock TMJ prosthesis (Biomet, Jacksonville, FL, USA), the surgical guides were fabricated with CAD/CAM technology. Under general anesthesia, osteotomy and placement of the stock TMJ prosthesis (Biomet) were carried out according to the surgical planning. At 2 months after the operation, the patient was able to open her mouth up to 30 mm without complication. Conclusion: For a patient who has recurrent ankylosis in bilateral TMJs, total joint reconstruction surgery using 3D virtual surgical planning, CAD/CAM-fabricated surgical guides, and stock TMJ prostheses may be an effective surgical treatment option.

  • CRC function has been built into the high-speed semiconductor memory device in order to increase the reliability of data for high-speed operation. Also, DBI function is adopted to improve of data transmission speed. Conventional CRC(ATM-8 HEC code) method has a significant amounts of area-overhead(~XOR 700 gates), and processing time(6 stage XOR) is large. Therefore it leads to a considerable burden on the timing margin at the time of reading and writing of the low power memory devices for CRC calculations. In this paper, we propose a CRC method for low cost and high speed memory, which was improved 92% for area-overhead. For low-cost implementation of the CRC scheme by the DBI function it was supplemented by data bit error detection rate. And analyzing the error detection rate were compared with conventional CRC method.

  • Purpose: This study analyzes the self-efficacy and CAD/CAM practice of dental technology students with the aim of providing data that will be useful for improving CAD/CAM education. Methods: A questionnaire survey on self-efficacy and CAD/CAM practice was given to students who participated in face-to-face classes in the Department of Dental Technology at a college in Daegu and Gyeongsangnam-do. The survey period was two weeks long (June 15, 2020 to July 2, 2020), and 84 students completed the questionnaire. Results: The higher the self-efficacy, the fewer difficulties or mistakes students made in CAD/CAM practice. The most difficult parts of the scanning process were the top and bottom arc operation and the bite match arc insertion. The most difficult part of the design work was the use of (multiple) tools. The difference between the degree of difficulty and the degree of mistakes during the practical course was shown as the margin line setting in the design work. Setting the margin line was not difficult, but the degree of mistakes was nonetheless high. In the CAM process, height control was the most difficult part, but the degree of mistakes did not differ according to students' self-efficacy. Conclusion: Given that higher self-efficacy correlated with fewer difficulties or mistakes in CAD/CAM practice, students should be encouraged to enhance their self-efficacy. This may be done by improving their satisfaction with their major course of study, forming friendly relations with their colleagues, and increasing the ratio of performance rather than observation in CAD/CAM practice.

  • The variation of discharge characteristics of an ac PDP was observed with the charge of scan electrode driving circuit. Conventional scan electrode driving circuit provides two switches per one scan line, and the suggested one can be constituted by one switch per one scan line with the consideration of capacitive load characteristic of an ac PDP. To verify the workability of the suggested scheme, the performances of the ac PDP was investigated. The dynamic voltage margin was slightly decreased with the adoption of the suggested scheme, which is estimated to result from the misfiring of unselected discharge cells due to the deformation of voltage level of the neighboring scan electrode. In the observation of the delay characteristics of addressing discharge, the performances of the conventional circuit and the suggested one are assumed to be equivalent.

  • Wide vertical hemilaryngopharyngectomy with immediate glottic and pharyngeal reconstruction using a radial forearm free flap is reported in 1991 by Chantrain et al. This procedure was designed for the preservation of healthy hemilarynx and resection of pharynx with safe oncological margin in especially piriform sinus cancer or supraglottic cancer invading the hypopharynx. In the original paper, they used palmaris longus tendon for reconstruction of neoglottis. In other groups, they used rib cartilage instead of palmaris longus tendon. In this paper, we report two cases of piriform sinus cancer patients who treated with wide vertical hemilaryngectomy with radial forearm free flap reconstruction. In one case, the operation was performed as Chantrain et al described. But in another case, the ipsilateral forearm was impossible due to the positive Allen's test. So the contralateral forearm flap and rib cartilage graft was done. This reconstructive technique make large resection possible. As the dissection of thyroid cartilage and lateral displacement makes direct visualization and manipulation of piriform sinus lesions, sufficient resection margin in lateral and inferior pharyngeal wall cab be obtained.

  • Recently, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced four cryptographic algorithms as a standard candidates of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC). In this paper, we show that private key can be exposed by a non-profiling-based power analysis attack such as Correlation Power Analysis (CPA) and Differential Deep Learning Analysis (DDLA) on CRYSTALS-KYBER algorithm, which is decided as a standard in the PKE/KEM field. As a result of experiments, it was successful in recovering the linear polynomial coefficient of the private key. Furthermore, the private key can be sufficiently recovered with a 13.0 Normalized Maximum Margin (NMM) value when Hamming Weight of intermediate values is used as a label in DDLA. In addition, these non-profiling attacks can be prevented by applying countermeasures that randomly divides the ciphertext during the decryption process and randomizes the starting point of the coefficient-wise multiplication operation.
