In the correction of dental Class III molar relationship in skeletal Class II patients, uprighting of the mandibular posterior segments without opening the mandible is an important treatment objective. In the case reported herein, a C-tube miniplate fixed to the lower labial symphysis and connected with a nickel-titanium reverse-curved archwire provided effective uprighting of the lower molars, without the need of orthodontic appliances on the mandibular anteriors. Using this approach, an appropriate magnitude of force is exerted on the molars while avoiding any negative effect on the mandibular anteriors.

We studied the meaning of the term avant-garde in relation to clothing of the 1980s and 1990s by examining the media's perceptions of Martin Margiela, a Belgian deconstructionist designer who was often labeled as avant-garde by journalists, scholars, and fashion critics in the late 20th century. A five-step content analysis method described by Paoletti (1982) was used to conduct the research. Newspaper and magazine articles in the 1980s and 1990s were analyzed using a set of existing avant-garde characteristics developed by Crane (1987) to determine if those journalists' perceptions matched the characteristics described by Crane. Results indicated that the journalists' critiques and descriptions matched the avant-garde characteristics described by Crane (1987). Including a subjective element to the conceptualization of the term explains how journalists described Margiela's designs despite Japanese designers' use of similar techniques before him. We (re) conceptualize the term's latter 20th century meaning and shifting dialogue to include a subjective element.

We carried out an image analysis of living cells forming their contacts at the bottom of the cell culturing substrate. In order to visualize the contact area selectively, we adopted total-internal-reflection-fluorescence (TIRF) method, which can illuminate the specimen volume within only several hundred nano-meters above the substrate. From the fluorescent intensity of the TRF image, we could calculate the distance of the cell surface from the substrate. As a result, we visualized the origin of cell contacts, their movements, and the change of cell-contact type from the close-contact into focal-contact with information of its vertical displacement representing the temporal evolution process of the three-dimensional cell-surface-profile near the contact area during this metamorphosis.

Wilms' tumor is the most common malignant renal tumor in childhood. The brain metastasis of a Wilms' tumor with anaplastic histopathology is rare. We present the case of an 8-year-old girl with Wilms' tumor, who presented with multiple brain metastases 5 years after her primary diagnosis. The brain masses were diagnosed after a generalized tonic-clonic seizure attack. The big solid mass in the cerebellum was resected, and whole-brain radiotherapy was performed, after which, she succumbed to her disease. In the case of clinical suspicion, cranial surveillance should be included in the routine clinical work-up for Wilms' tumor. Combined aggressive therapy (surgery+radiotherapy+chemotherapy) should be applied whenever possible, for both better survival and palliative aspects.

IBM사의 San Francisco 프로젝트 성공이후 컴포넌트 시장은 성장하고 있다. 컴포넌트 기반 개발 방법의 사용이 보편화되면 응용 프로그램은 필요한 컴포넌트들을 조립하여 개발하게 될 것이다. 컴포넌트는 응용프로그램의 성능에 많은 영향을 미치게 된다. 기존의 방법만으로는 컴포넌트의 특징이 고려되지 않기 때문에 분산 컴포넌트의 성능을 비교하는 데에 적합하지 않다. 기존의 컴포넌트 측정방법에는 컴포넌트의 응답시간, 효율(throughput), 메소드(method) 처리시간, 풀(pool)의 개수에 따른 에러 발생률 등이 있다. 본 논문에서는 분산응용을 위한 컴포넌트의 성능을 측정하는 추가적인 방법을 제안한다. 첫째 각 빈들의 처리 응답시간이다. 둘째 트랜잭션의 응답시간이다. 셋째 풀(pool)안에서 객체 개수에 따른 응답시간이다. 객체 수에 따른 컴포넌트 처리 시간이다. 넷째 컴포넌트 알고리즘 처리시간이다. 다섯째 힙(heap) 사용률이다. 이에 컴포넌트 구매자는 성능에 대한 객관적인 데이터로 보고 선택적으로 컴포넌트를 구입할 수 있다.

국내 애니메이터들에게 희망을 불어넣어줄 낭보가 잇따라 터지고 있다. ‘오세암’이 세계적인 권위의 국제페스티벌에서 영예의 그랑프리를 수상했고, 국내 단편 애니메이션들의 잇달은 수상 소식도 쏟아지고 있다. 정민영 감독의 단편 애니메이션‘길’도 이러한 국내 애니메이션 업계에 빛을 전해주고 있는 작품중 하나. '길'은 지난 4월 30일(한국시각) 폐막한 제47회 샌프란시스코 국제영화제(San Francisco International Film Festival)에서 금문상(GOLDEN GATE AWARDS)을 수상했고, 지난 5월 6일부터 9일까지 4일간 열린 2004년 부산아시아단편영화제에서 교보상을 수상했다. 러닝타임 14분 45초인‘길’은 일반적인 모션 애니메이션이 아닌 편안한 질감의 인형으로 표현된 클레이 애니메이션으로 독창성이 뛰어나고 탄력적 상상력을 지녔다고 평가된다. 정해진 인생길에 순응해가며 살 수밖에 없는 나약한 인간의 모습을 보여준‘길’을 만나본다.

In recent years, Korean medical schools have shown a growing interest in the longitudinal integrated clerkship (LIC) as a means of improving clinical education. Some overseas medical schools have tried the LIC since the 1970s. In the 1990s, several universities in the United States, Canada, and Australia introduced LICs. A variety of studies have confirmed positive results of the LIC. Traditional block-rotation is a discipline-based, inpatient-centered practice. Instead, under the LIC system, a medical student responsible for a panel of longitudinal patients observes developments of their diseases, serving several departments simultaneously. Overseas medical schools have different LIC models depending on their affiliate hospitals' sizes and characteristics. The purpose of this study is to introduce LIC practices in Harvard Medical School and University of California San Francisco, which could be applied by Korean medical schools. This paper also aims to find out the strategies that have been able to help the two US medical schools implement the LIC successfully.

The use of supplemental damping to dissipate seismic energy is one of the most economical and effective ways to mitigate the effects of earthquakes on structures. Both displacement-dependent and velocity-dependent devices dissipate earthquake-induced energy effectively. Combining displacement-dependent and velocity-dependent devices for seismic mitigation of structures minimizes the shortcomings of individual dampers, and is the most economical solution for seismic mitigation. However, there are few publications related to the optimum distributions of combined devices in a multiple-bay frame building. In this paper, the effectiveness of a building consisting of multiple bags equipped with combined displacement-dependent and velocity-dependent devices is investigated. A four-story building with six bays was selected as an example to examine the efficiency of the proposed combination methods. The parametric study shows that appropriate arrangements of different kinds of devices make the devices more efficient and economical.

This article presents a multi-dimensional spatial pattern analysis of crime events in San Francisco. Our analysis includes the impact of spatial resolution on hotspot identification, temporal effects in crime spatial patterns, and relationships between various crime categories. In this work, crime prediction is viewed as a classification problem. When predictions for a particular category are made, a binary classification-based model is framed, and when all categories are considered for analysis, a multiclass model is formulated. The proposed crime-prediction model (HotBlock) utilizes spatiotemporal analysis for predicting crime in a fixed spatial region over a period of time. It is robust under variation of model parameters. HotBlock's results are compared with baseline real-world crime datasets. It is found that the proposed model outperforms the standard DeepCrime model in most cases.

Slope stability of sensitive clayey soils is particularly important when subjected to strength loss and deformation. Except for progressive failure, for most sensitive and insensitive slopes, it is important to review the feasibility of conventional analysis methods based on peak strength since peak strength governs slope stability before yielding. In this study, as a part of efforts to understand the behavior of sensitive clay slopes, a total of 12 centrifuge tests were performed for artificially sensitive and insensitive clay slopes using San Francisco Bay Mud (PI = 50) and Yolo Loam (PI = 10). In terms of slope stability, the results were analyzed using the updated instability factor ($N_I$). $N_I$ using equivalent unit weight to cause a failure is in reasonable agreement shown in the Taylor's chart ($N_I$ ~ 5.5). In terms of dynamic deformation, it is shown that two-way sliding is a more accurate approach than conventional one-way sliding. Two-way sliding may relate to diffused shear surfaces. The outcome of this study is contributable to analyzing stability and deformation of steep sensitive clay slopes.
