Because the hazardous working environments and high labor intensity of the root industry can potentially impact the health of workers, current regulations have focused on measuring and controlling environmental factors, on a semi-annual basis. However, there is a lack of quantitative criteria addressing workers' health conditions other than the physical work environment. This gap makes it challenging to prevent occupational diseases resulting from continuous exposure to harmful substances below regulatory thresholds. Therefore, this paper proposes a machine learning-based method for determining the peak level of risk in root industry work environments and enables real-time safety assessment in workplaces utilizing this approach.

Traumatic injuries in the young permanent dentition are common, but root fractures, defined as fractures involving dentin, cementum and pulp, are relatively uncommon. Appropriate management of root fracture involves repositioning the coronal portion of the tooth fragment and firm immobilization with a splint for 2 to 3 month. Root canal treatment should not be initiated until the sign of necrosis or resorption are apparent because in most cases, the apical fragments maintain their vitality. The following case report describes a patient with root fractures injured three times over the period of 7 years. The results, clinically and radiographically, were acceptable, but long term periodic evaluation is required.

Instrumentation for periodontal therapy may induce marginal damage which increases plaque accumulation and result in periodontal disease. But there have not been many reports of instrumentations on the artificial crown so far. Therefore this study is conducted to evaluate the effects of various repeated instrumentations on the porcelain crown marginal portion. Of the 10 extracted periodontally diseased maxillary first premolars, were 12 proximal surface used in this study. The finishing line of the preparation was placed on the root surface below CEJ and then the crown was cast and cemented in usual manner. Every 4 surfaces of the 3 instruments-curet, ultrasonic scaler, and ultrasonic curet- is used. and four samples used in each instruments. The relevant procedures and measurements were repeated 3 times in each surfaces. Marginal gap is measured by the microscope and surface roughness, Scannig Probe Microscope. Measurements are made at 5 points in each surfaces, making 20 points in each instrument. The results evaluated statistically were as follows 1. As instrumentation was repeated, both marginal gap and roughness were increased in all group 2. In the hand curet, marginal gap was increased every instrumentation and roughness was increased after second. 3. In the ultrasonic scaler, both marginal gap and roughness were increased every instrumentation. 4. In the ultrasonic curet, marginal gap was increased after third instrumentation and roughness was increased after second. 5. Marginal gap and roughness used by the ultrasonic curet were lower than the others and no difference was seen between the hand curet and ultrasonic scaler From the results of this study, the ultrasonic curet was useful in some aspect, but careful instrumentation was needed. Furthermore it was important to minimize the instrumentation through complete periodontal therapy before setting and adequate plaque control.

Leaky modes on a circular dielectric rod are investigated from the precisely determined normalized complex propagation constants using Davidenko's complex root finding technique. Below the cutoff frequency of the guided mode, distinct frequency regions that have unique properties are observed, such as nonphysical region, antenna mode region, reactive mode region, and spectral gap region.

The high-speed rotating arc process forms a flat bead surface with decreased penetration depth because the molten droplets are deflected by centrifugal force. Therefore the rotating arc welding for horizontal fillet welding increases the leg length with the increase of rotation frequency and prevents the deflection of weld bead and overlap. In this study, the relationship between the welding parameters and the weld bead shape - leg length and undercut - are investigated experimentally. Consequently, the weld quality could be improved by rotating arc welding, and sound weld bead was achieved when applied to horizontal fillet welding with 4mm gap by avoiding the undercut which is inevitable for the conventional GMA welding methods.

The horizontal fillet joint is one of the most important weld joints in the shipbuilding industry. High-speed rotating arc welding, which can increase the leg length, is an effective way to improve the weld productivity and quality for the horizontal fillet welding. Based on the Taguchi method, the effects of welding parameters on bead characteristics - leg length, asymmetry, undercut, overlap - are investigated fur high-speed welding process. As a result, the adequate welding parameters are selected for the required leg length, symmetric bead and no undercut. Besides, considerably consistent leg length is observed for the horizontal fillet welding with gap variation up to 3mm.

This study aims to restrain free conducting wire-type particles which are commonly and dangerously existing within DC gas-insulated transmission lines. A realistic platform of a coaxial cylindrical electrode was established by using a high-speed camera and a partial discharge (PD) monitor to observe the motion, PD, and breakdown of these particles. The probabilities of standing or bouncing, which can be affected by the length of the particles, were also quantitatively examined. The corona images of the particles were recorded, and particle-triggered PD signals were monitored and extracted. Breakdown images were also obtained. The air-gap breakdown with the particles was subjected to mechanism analysis on the basis of stream theory. Results reveal that the lifting voltage of the wire particles is almost irrelevant to their length but is proportional to the square root of their radius. Short particles correspond to high bouncing probability. The intensity and frequency of PD and the micro-discharge gap increase as the length of the particles increases. The breakdown voltage decreases as the length of the particles decreases.

This paper describes method to diagnose abiotic stresses such ad low root temperature, low light intensity and high salinity in cucumber plants with several physiological instruments. The stresses could be detected by measuring and analyzing the differences in chlorophyll content, temperature difference between leaf and atmosphere and light absorptance at wavelengths of 480, 560, 710, 1420 and 1650nm. It was concluded that the stresses could be first diagnosed from the 3rd to 10th day after treatment and the overall accuracy of diagnosis was estimated between 25 and 75%. near-infrared spectrometer showed better and earlier detection than the other instruments investigated.

Orthotropic steel bridge decks are potentially liable to cause fatigue cracks due to weld defects, residual stresses, and in-plane or out-of-plane stresses. In particular, the cracks propagated through deckplate in longitudinal rib to deckplate joints occur at weld toe and weld root due to stress concentrations. Numerical parametric studies are performed to show the Influence of the parameters on the stress concentration at the connection between the longitudinal rib and the deckplate. The parameters include root gap, toe angle $\theta$, toe radius $\rho$, and weld penetration. This study provides a fundamental point for the improvement of fatigue resistance and the estimation of the fatigue crack propagation in wekded joint details.

The state of pulp and dental hard tissue during the process of resorption and shedding of 104 non-carious primary teeth was assessed by histomorphologic study. The teeth were extracted from the Korean school children aged 5 to 15 and classified into preshedding, shedding, delayed shedding groups according to the age of the child at the time of extraction, The results were as follows: 1. The inflammatory cell infiltration in primary pulp tissues occurred in 61.5% of observed teeth and were increased in the order of preshedding, shedding and delayed shedding stages. 2. The odontoclasts were appeared in 43.3% of observed teeth and were increased in the order of preshedding, shedding and delayed shedding stages. 3. The polymorphonuclear leukocytes and odontoclasts couldn't be observed in the exfoliated primary pulp tissues before the process of resorption has involved the root surface about 1.8mm subjacent to the cemento-enamel junction. 4. The intact root surface was the longest and largest in the preshedding stage. 5. The resorption process of primary teeth roots occurred mainly in the stage of preshedding and shedding stages. 6. There was a tendency of repair of resorbing root surfaces in the delayed shedding stage.
