  • Post operative maxillary cyst may arise after the surgical treatment for maxillary sinusitis with the symtoms of swelling, pain, and pus discharge in the buccal region. It is examined by Waters' view, panoramic view and other intraoral radiographs, but quite variable radiologically. Most of the cyst is seen round or ovoid shape radiolucency, destruction, expansion and thinning of the lateral wall or posterior wall, and roots of the adjacent teeth may be resorbed. We studied about 117 cases of the post operative maxillary cysts which diagnosed in department of oral and maxillofacial radiology, Seoul National University Hospital. We analyzed and obtained following results. 1. These cysts occured more frequently in male than in female and the incidence is highest in the 4th and 5th decade. 2. Initial radical operation of maxillary sinus were performed mainly between the age of 10 and 45 years, and about 60% of the patients were 15 to 25 years. 3. Pain and swelling on buccal area, pus discharge, and toothache are most chief compaints, seven cases were found at routine examination without symtoms. 4. Most of these cysts were unilocular with smooth and well-defined border. 5. The majority of the cysts occurred in the anterolateral wall of maxillary sinus. 6. Dental changes of the lesional area were loss of lamina dura and root resorption, but about 55% were not changed.

  • In this paper, we propose a method to detect and recover the occluded parts of face images using the correlation between pairs of pixels. In a training stage, correlation coefficients between every pairs of pixels are calculated using the occlusion-free face images. Once a new occluded face image is shown, the occluded area is detected and recovered using the correlation coefficients obtained in the training stage. We compare the performance of the proposed method with the conventional method based on PCA. The results show that the proposed method detects and recovers occluded area with much smaller noises than the conventional PCA based method. Moreover, recovered images by the proposed method were more smooth with reduced blurring effect.

  • Experiments were conducted for the investigation of pressure drop inside horizontal micro-fin tubes during the condensation of R-22 and ternary refrigerant. R-407C(HFC-32/125/134a 23/25/62 wt%) as a substitute of R-22. The condenser is a double-tube and counterflow type heat exchanger which is consisted with micro-fin tubes having 60 fins with a length of 4000mm, outer diameter of 9.53mm and fin height of 0.2mm. The mass velocity varied from 102.1 to $301.0kg/(m^2{\cdot}s)$ and inlet quality was fixed as 1.0. From the experimental results. the pressure drop for R-407C was considerably higher than that for R-22. The value of PF(penalty factor) for both of refrigerants was not bigger than the ratio of micro-fin tube area to smooth tube area. Based on the experimental data. correlation was Proposed for the prediction of frictional pressure drop during the condensation of R-22 and R-407C inside horizontal micro-fin tubes.

  • Mobile devices are becoming powerful enough to realize augmented reality (AR) application. This paper introduces two AR methods to estimate an environmental illumination distribution of a scene. In the first method, we extract the lighting direction and intensity from input images captured with a front-side camera of a mobile device, using its orientation sensor. The second method extracts shadow regions cast by three dimensional (3D) AR marker of known shape and size. Because previous methods examine per pixel shadow intensity, their performances are much affected by the number of sampling points, positions, and threshold values. By using a simple binary operation between the previously clustered shadow regions and the threshold real shadow regions, we can compute efficiently their relative area proportions according to threshold values. This area-based method can overcome point sampling problem and threshold value selection. Experiment results demonstrate that the proposed methods generate natural image with multiple smooth shadows in real-time.

  • A modified silicon direct bonding method has been developed alloying an intimate contact between grooved and smooth mirror-polished oxide-free silicon wafers. A regular set of grooves was formed during preparation of heavily doped $p^+$-type grid network by oxide-masking und boron diffusion. Void-free bonded interfaces with filing of the grooves were observed by x-ray diffraction topography, infrared, optical. and scanning electron microscope techniques. The presence of regularly formed grooves in bending plane results in the substantial decrease of dislocation over large areas near the interface. Moreover two strongly misoriented waters could be successfully bonded by new technique. Diodes with bonded a pn-junction yielded a value of the ideality factor n about 1.5 and the uniform distribution of series resistance over the whole area of horded pn-structure. The suitability of the modified technique was confirmed by I - V characteristics of power diodes and reversly switched-on dynistor(RSD) with a working area about $12cm^2$. Both devices demonstrated breakdown voltages close to the calculation values.

  • Let M be an n-dimensional complete simply connected Riemannian manifold with sectional curvature bounded above by a nonpositive constant $-{\kappa}^2$. Using the cone total curvature TC($\Gamma$) of a graph $\Gamma$ which was introduced by Gulliver and Yamada [8], we prove that the density at any point of a soap film-like surface $\Sigma$ spanning a graph $\Gamma\;\subset\;M$ is less than or equal to $\frac{1}{2\pi}\{TC(\Gamma)-{\kappa}^2Area(p{\times}\Gamma)\}$. From this density estimate we obtain the regularity theorems for soap film-like surfaces spanning graphs with small total curvature. In particular, when n = 3, this density estimate implies that if $TC(\Gamma)$ < $3.649{\pi}\;+\;{\kappa}^2\inf\limits_{p{\in}F}Area(p{\times}{\Gamma})$, then the only possible singularities of a piecewise smooth (M, 0, $\delta$)-minimizing set $\Sigma$ are the Y-singularity cone. In a manifold with sectional curvature bounded above by $b^2$ and diameter bounded by $\pi$/b, we obtain similar results for any soap film-like surfaces spanning a graph with the corresponding bound on cone total curvature.

  • Recently, amorphous transparent oxide semiconductors (TOS) have been widely studied for many optoelectronic devices such as AM-OLED (active-matrix organic light emitting diodes). The TOS TFTs using a-IGZO channel layers exhibit a high electron mobility, a smooth surface, a uniform deposition at a large area, a high optical transparency, a low-temperature fabrication. In spite of many advantages of the sputtering process such as better step coverage, good uniformity over large area, small shadow effect and good adhesion, there are not enough researches about characteristics of a-IGZO thin films. In this study, therefore, we focused on the electrical properties of a-IGZO thin films as a channel layer of TFTs. TFTs with the a-IGZO channel layers and Y2O3 gate insulators were fabricated. Source and drain layers were deposited using ITO target. TFTs were deposited on unheated non-alkali glass substrates ($5cm{\times}5cm$) with a sintered ceramic IGZO disc (3 inch $\varnothing$, 5mm t), Y2O3 disc (3 inch $\varnothing$, 5mm t) and ITO disc (3 inch $\varnothing$, 5mm t) as a target by magnetron sputtering method. The O2 gas was used as the reactive gas. Deposition was carried out under various sputtering conditions to investigate the effect of sputtering process on the characteristics of a-IGZO thin films. Correlation between sputtering factors and electronic properties of the film will be discussed in detail.

  • InGaAs/GaAs quantum wire structures were grown by low pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition by using selective area epitaxy.$ In_{ 0.2}$$Ga_{0.8}$ As/GaAs quantum wire structures were grown on a $SiO_2$ masked GaAs substrate. Quantum wire structures with sharp tips and smooth side walls were grown. We have grown InGaAs/GaAs quantum wire structures using variously opened width of the $SiO _2$ mask. Even though the opening widths of $SiO_2$ masked GaAs substrate were different, similar shapes of triangular structures were grown. Using various kinds of differently opened $SiO_2$ masked area, it would be possible to grow quantum wire structures with various thicknesses. The quantum wire structures are formed near the pinnacle of the triangular structure. Therefore, the fabrication of the uniquely designed integrated optical devices which include light emitting sources of multiple wavelength is possible.

  • The objective of this study was to examine alcohol consumption rates and the perception of drinking cultures among college students in the Wonju area. An examination of factors such as frequency of drinking, average quantity consumed, and frequency of heavy drinking suggested that the drinking rates were relatively high. Over 70% of subjects drank at least once a week, 66.2% typically drank more than 5 servings at a time, and 19.2% of males and 13.0% of females were heavy drinkers. It was revealed from an AUDIT (Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test) assessment that 71.3% of the subjects tested had various levels of alcohol-related problems. These problems were more severe in subjects that were male, selfboarding, or overweight. Alcohol related knowledge was not high because the subjects didn't know or incorrectly recognized some contents such as blood alcohol concentration, the energy content of alcohol, and the empty caloric characteristics of alcohol. Generally male, self-boarding, and overweight persons were not critical of the undesirable characteristics associated with drinking culture. Two opinions that were generally considered to be permissible were: 'Men should be able to drink' and 'Drinking is essential for a smooth human relationship'.

  • In order to expand the application of oxide dispersion-strengthened (ODS) steel, a composite material is manufactured by adding mechanically alloyed ODS steel powder to conventional steel and investigated in terms of microstructure and wear properties. For comparison, a commercial automobile part material is also tested. Initial microstructural observations confirm that the composite material with added ODS steel contains i) a pearlitic Fe matrix area and ii) an area with Cr-based carbides and ODS steel particles in the form of a $Fe-Fe_3C$ structure. In the commercial material, various hard Co-, Fe-Mo-, and Cr-based particles are present in a pearlitic Fe matrix. Wear testing using the VSR engine simulation wear test confirms that the seatface widths of the composite material with added ODS steel and the commercial material are increased by 24% and 47%, respectively, with wear depths of 0.05 mm and 0.1 mm, respectively. The ODS steel-added composite material shows better wear resistance. Post-wear-testing surface and cross-sectional observations show that particles in the commercial material easily fall off, while the ODS steel-added material has an even, smooth wear surface.
