Purpose: The goal of reduction mammaplasty is breast with natural cone shape, minimizing scars, well-placed and sensate nipple-areolar area and maintaining breast physiology. In order to satisfy that goal, variable reduction mammaplasty methods are performed, however, two methods such as vertical reduction method and inverted T-scar method are currently most used. We compared indications and advantages of the two methods and set up useful guidlines. Methods: For 15 years from 1995 to 2010, we experienced 84 patients (162 breasts). We performed vertical reduction method as Lejour's superior pedicle technique (45 patients) and inverted T-scar method as Goldwyn's inferior dermal flap technique (39 patients). We evaluated the result of the operation comparing patient's age, amount of resected tissue, complications and post-operative scars of the two methods. Results: The mean age was 36 years and the vertical reduction group was 3 years younger than inverted T-scar group. The mean breast tissue resection amount per one breast, inverted T-scar group (712 gm) was lagger than vertical reduction group (395 gm). Conclusion: There is no ideal method for reduction mammaplasty until now. However, we suggest that guide line, the vertical reduction method is effective for minimal and moderate macromastia in young and middle aged women and inverted T-scar method is appropriate for severe macromastia with ptosis in elderly women. Recently, all procedures tried shorter and smaller scar on the vertical line as small I, J or L shape scar, and inframammary fold as short inverted T-scar.

In order to investigate the cause and magnitude of scale effect occurring in the model experiments of fishing nets, five pairs of Nylon pyramid nets and one pair of PE ones in which all the two nets paired were equal each other in the factors determining their flow resistance, i. e., the ratio d/l of diameter d to length l of bars, the angle f between two adjacent bars, the attack angle q of nettings to the water flow, and the wall area S of nets, and different in the values of d and l were prepared. Then, the nets were attached to the circular steel frame alternately and their flow resistances with shapes in water were measured on the sea ascribing no turbulent flows by using the tension meter made of a block bearing for the experiment. All the Nylon nets were spreads out easily in water to form a circular cone at relatively low velocity of water and showed the resistance smaller a little in the nets with larger d and l than them with smaller d and l, because the filtration of water through meshes become easier in nets especially with larger l. But PE nettings were not spread out sufficiently on account of their small flexibility and showed higher resistance especially in them with thicker twines. Therefore, the difference in bar length or mesh size and flexibility of nettings between prototype and model nets are regarded to become factors ascribing scale effect. Especially the influence of the difference in mesh size may become large significantly in actual model experiments because the mesh size of model nets is decided at much larger value than that given by scale ratio and so the difference of mesh size between the two nets become much larger than that between nets used in this experiment.

The intermittent spray characteristics of a multi-hole diesel nozzle with a 2-spring nozzle holder were investigated experimentally. Without changing the total orifice exit area, the hole number of the multi-hole nozzle varied from 3 (d$\_$n/=0.42 mm) to 5 (d$\_$n/=0.32 mm). The time-resolved droplet diameters of the spray including the SMD (Saute. mean diameter) and the AMD (arithmetic mean diameter), injected intormittently from the multi-hole nozzles into still ambient ai., were measured by using a 2-D PDPA (phase Doppler particle analyze.). The 5-hole nozzle spray shows the smaller spray cone angle, the decreased SMD distributions and the small difference between the SMD and the AMD, compared with that of the 3-hole nozzle spray. From the SMD distributions with the radial distance, the spray structure can be classified into the three regions : (a) the inner region showing the high SMD distribution , (b) the mixing flow region where the shea. flow structure would be constructed : and (c) the outer region formed through the disintegration processes of the spray inner region and composed of fine droplets. Through the SMD distributions along the spray centerline, it reveals that the SMD decreases rapidly after showing the maximum value in the vicinity of the nozzle tip. The SMD remains the constant value near the Z/d$\_$n/=166 and 156.3 for the 3-hole and 5-hole nozzles, which illustrate that the disintegration processes of the 5-hole nozzle spray proceed more rapidly than that of the 3-hole nozzle spray.

This paper gives an overview of the availability, nutritive quality, and possible strategies to improve the utilization of rice straw as a feed ingredient for ruminants. Approximately 80% of the rice in the world is grown by small-scale farmers in developing countries, including South East Asia. The large amount of rice straw as a by-product of the rice production is mainly used as a source of feed for ruminant livestock. Rice straw is rich in polysaccharides and has a high lignin and silica content, limiting voluntary intake and reducing degradability by ruminal microorganisms. Several methods to improve the utilization of rice straw by ruminants have been investigated in the past. However, some physical treatments are not practical because of the requirement for machinery or treatments are not economical feasible for the farmers. Chemical treatments, such as NaOH, $NH_3$ or urea, currently seem to be more practical for onfarm use. Alternative treatments to improve the nutritive value of rice straw are the use of ligninolytic fungi (white-rot fungi), with their extracellular ligninolytic enzymes, or specific enzymes degrading cellulose and/or hemicellulose. The use of fungi or enzyme treatments is expected to be a more practical and environmental-friendly approach for enhancing the nutritive value of rice straw and can be costeffective in the future. Using fungi and enzymes might be combined with the more classical chemical or physical treatments. However, available data on using fungi and enzymes for improving the quality of rice straw are relatively scarce.

This paper is studied to investigate the effect of slits and swirl vanes on the development of turbulent flow fields in gun-type gas burner with a cone type baffle plate because this gas burner is generally composed of eight slits and swirl vanes. All of turbulent characteristics including mean velocities were measured in the horizontal plane and cross section by using X-type hot-wire probe from hot-wire anemometer system. This experiment is carried out at flow rate 450 l/min in the test section of subsonic wind tunnel. Slits cause the fast jets, and then they have the characteristic that the flow is not adequately spread to radial direction and has long flow length and very small flow velocity distribution in the central part. On the contrary, swirl vanes does not have long enough for adequate flow length to downstream because the rotational flow diffuses remarkably to radial direction. However, the suitable arrangement between slits and swirl vanes causes effective flow width and flow length, and then it promotes fast flow mixing over the entire region including central part to increase turbulence more largely and effectively. Therefore, it is thought as a very desirable design method in gun-type gas burner to locate slits on the outside of swirl vanes.

포톤 매핑은 대표적인 전역 조명 방법으로써 광원에서 많은 수의 포톤을 방출하여 이를 이용해 사실적인 렌더링을 수행한다. 하지만 매우 많은 수의 포톤을 추적하기 때문에 실시간 렌더링이 힘들고 많은 양의 메모리를 사용하는 문제가 있다. 이러한 문제를 개선한 방법이 점진적 포톤 매핑이다. 기존의 점진적 포톤 매핑은 먼저 광선 추적법을 통해 각 광선과 물체와의 충돌 위치를 찾는다. 다음으로 포톤 추적 단계에서는 반복적으로 적은 수의 포톤을 방출하고, 충돌 위치를 중심으로 하며 고정된 반지름을 가지는 구 안에 들어오는 포톤으로 포톤의 밝기를 누적한다. 이 방법은 포톤 매핑보다 자원을 적게 소모하지만, 방출된 포톤이 임의의 방향으로 진행하기 때문에 충분한 포톤을 확보하고 부드러운 영상을 렌더링하기 위해 많은 시간이 필요하다. 이를 보완하기 위해 본 논문에서는 포톤 탐사 단계를 추가하여 구 안에 들어오는 포톤들의 분포를 계산하고 그에 따라 구의 반지름을 조절하는 방법을 제안한다. 또한 래디언스 추정 과정에 콘 필터를 적용하여 영상을 선명히 렌더링한다.

The Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering (KRISO), the ocean engineering branch of KORDI, has designed and manufactured a model of an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) to test underwater docking. This paper introduces the AUV model, ASUM, equipped with a visual servo control system to dock into an underwater station with a camera and motion sensors. To make a visual servoing AUV, this paper implemented the visual servo control system designed with an augmented state equation, which was composed of the optical flow model of a camera and the equation of the AUV's motion. The system design and the hardware configuration of ASUM are presented in this paper. A small long baseline acoustic positioning system was developed to monitor and record the AUV's position for the experiment in the Ocean Engineering Basin of KRISO, KORDI. ASUM recognizes the target position by processing the captured image for the lights, which are installed around the end of the cone-type entrance of the duct. Unfortunately, experiments are not yet conducted when we write this article. The authors will present the results for the docking test of the AUV in near future.

콘크리트용 앵커볼트의 설계에 $45^{\circ}$ 콘파괴 이론이 그동안 적용되어 왔으나, 2,000년 이후부터 CCD(Concrete Capacity Design) 방법이 새로운 설계법으로 도입되었다. 그러나, 본 방법은 중소형 앵커볼트에 대한 실험 결과에 근거한 관계로 앵커볼트의 직경이 50mm 이하이고 매입깊이가 635mm 이하인 경우에만 허용되고 있다. 따라서 M50 이상의 중대형 앵커볼트에 대한 합리적인 인장파괴강도식의 도출이 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 매입깊이 400~450mm의 M56 선설치 단일 앵커볼트의 콘크리트 인장파괴강도 평가를 위해 5개의 시험체에 대해 실험을 수행하였다. 그리고, 본 실험 결과와 최근의 타 실험 결과를 종합하여 매입깊이가 280~1,200mm인 중대형급 앵커볼트에 대해 현 설계기준의 인장파괴강도식의 적용성 여부를 평가하였다.

한라산 어승생오름에서 수문 관측을 실시하여 제주도 스코리아콘 소유역의 유출 특성을 규명하였다. 실험유역은 면적이 5.1ha이며, 식생은 서어나무와 졸참나무가 우점하고 있다. 실험 유역에서는 전 기간에 걸쳐 유출이 발생하였으며, 기저 유출은 4월부터 점진적으로 증가하다가 10월 이후에 다시 감소하였다. 강우량이 현저하게 작거나 선행 강우가 없는 일부 강우 이벤트를 제외하면 강우 발생시에는 대부분 유출의 피크가 출현하였다. 또한 하이드로그래프의 상승 곡선과 하강 곡선이 급격하게 변화하는 섬광적인 유출 특성을 보이며, 지체 시간도 매우 짧아 평균 35.8분에 불과하다. 연속 강우량이 증가하면 빠른 유출 성분의 유출률도 증가하나, 그 증가율은 크지 않고 최대 유출률도 24.7%에 불과하다. 또한 68.3%의 강우 이벤트에서 빠른 유출 성분의 유출률은 1%를 넘지 못할 만큼 총강우량에 대하여 빠른 유출 성분이 차지하는 비율은 높지 않다. 비교적 지속 시간이 긴 강우 이벤트에서는 측방침투류에 기인하는 것으로 보이는 완만한 2차 피크도 출현하였다. 이런 유출 특성에는 실험 유역의 국지적인 불투수층이 관여하는 것으로 보인다.
