The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the viability of employing the intonation exaggeration technique proposed in [4] in teaching English prosody to university students. Fifty-six female university students, twenty-two in a control group and the other thirty-four in an experimental group, participated in a teaching experiment as part of their regular coursework for a five-and-a-half week period. For the study material of the experimental group, a set of utterances was synthesized whose intonation contours had been exaggerated whereas the control group was given the same set without any intonation modification. Recordings from both before and after the teaching experiment were made and one sentence set was chosen for analysis. The parameters analyzed were the pitch range, words containing the highest and lowest pitch points, and the 3-dimensional comparison of the three prosodic features [2]. An AXB and subjective rating test were also performed along with a qualitative screening of the individual intonation contours. The results showed that the experimental group performed slightly better in that their intonation contour was more similar to that of the model native speaker's utterance. This appears to suggest that the intonation exaggeration technique can be employed in teaching English prosody to students.

심미에 대한 환자의 기대와 요구는 다양하고 복잡하다. 때로는 원하는 것이 명확하지 못할 때고 있고 다다르기에는 한계가 있는 경우도 자주 만나게 된다. 환자의 주소를 객관적인 요소로 분석해야하는 진료자의 입장에서는 환자의 표현을 요구와 필요(wants and needs)에 기반하여 해석해야하는 숙제를 않고 가게 된다. 환자의 요구와 필요를 기반으로 하여 치료의 계획에 있어서 심미적 개선 방향을 설정하고 이를 피드백을 통해 검증하여 소통하는 것이 필요하다. 심미(esthetics)란 객관적인 기준을 기반으로 하지만 일상의 임상에 있어서 환자 개개인의 주관적인 기준을 잘 반영하여야 만족스런 결과로 한발자국 다가서는 슬기로운 접근이라 하겠다. 건강한 자연치를 기준으로하면 한계성을 가지고 있는 중년 환자의 증례를 통해 심미적 분석(analysis)과 접근 전략(strategies)에 대해 함께 살펴보고자 한다.

Background Human bite wounds in emergency department need evaluation in regard of reconstruction. These are due to occlusive bite injuries over face. Most commonly, human bites over face involve ear and nose, and may lead to avulsion injury. Defects over nose can be reconstructed immediately after debridement or delayed till the wound heals and scar becomes supple. Thorough wash and lavage with broadspectrum antibiotic cover has utmost importance in preventing cartilage infection. Methods We report 20 cases of human bite injuries over nose who presented to us in emergency department between 2018 and 2020. At the time of presentation the wound was assessed for closure. If not possible, patient was planned for delayed reconstruction after 3 months. In case delayed reconstruction was planned, the skin and nasal mucosa were approximated at first presentation. The patients underwent paramedian forehead flap after recreation of defect with conchal cartilage graft. Second stage of flap detachment and insetting was done after 3 weeks. After three weeks of second stage, third stage of flap thinning was done. Patients were followed for 3-6 months and subjective satisfaction was noted. Results Nineteen patients underwent delayed staged reconstruction with paramedian forehead flap and one underwent primary wound closure. The flap survival was 100%. The patient satisfaction was excellent in most cases. Conclusion We recommend delayed reconstruction for human bite nasal injuries. For reconstruction, paramedian forehead flap with conchal cartilage graft, if required, provides excellent reconstructive option with good contour and color match and minimal donor site scar.

방사선과 의사들은 CT 및 MRI 스캐너로부터 얻어진 인체의 단면 영상을 연속적으로 보고 실제 3차원적으로 인체가 어떻게 구성되어 있는지를 상상하여 병변을 구별하는데, 의학영상을 이용한 인체 장기의 3차원 시각화는 2차원 형태의 인체 단면 영상들을 복잡한 알고리즘이나 고성능의 컴퓨팅 파워를 사용하여 실제 인체와 같이 3차원으로 재구성하여 보여준다. 단면 영상의 추적, 관심영역의 표시 및 추출등과 같은 2차원 영상분석은 시간이 많이 소모되고, 주관적일 수가 있으며, 수작업인 관계로 빈번한 에러가 발생하는 단점을 가지는데, 이와 같은 2차원 의료 영상 분석의 단점을 보완하기 위해 의학영상처리 기술과 접목한 3차원 의료 영상의 시각화는 필수적이라 할 수 있다. 명암값 임계치 방법, 영역확장(region growing) 방법, 윤곽선(contour) 추출 방법 및 변형모델(deformable model) 방법을 사용하여 인체의 각 장기를 분리하였으며, 텍스쳐분석(texture analysis)을 통하여 고안된 특징자를 이용하여 암 부분을 인식하는데 사용하였고, 원근투영(perspective projection) 및 볼륨 데이터의 표면을 렌더링하기 위해 마칭큐브(marching cube) 알고리즘을 사용하였다. 인체 및 분리된 장기에 대한 3차원 시각화는 방사선치료계획(radiation treatment planning), 외과 수술계획, 모의수술, 중재적(interventional)시술 및 영상유도수술(image guided surgery)에 효과적으로 사용될 수 있다.

Recently as the interest on Esthetic Dental Prosthesis is arising, the domains of Esthetic Dentistry is being widely investigated. Esthetic Dental Prosthesis is influenced greatly by the shape, color, tooth arrangement of the teeth and the facial features(including the lips). So the degree to which these characters harmonize will be the professional esthetical standard while the satisfaction of the patient will be another esthetical measure. The reason for this is that each and every one of us has a different standard of what is considered beautiful. Of course it doesn't mean that every standard is correct. Then what does Esthetical Prosthesis mean and what should the standard be? This must be defined as a prosthesis that satisfies the basic requirements - margin, contour, occlusion, and at the same time it should restore the shape, color, and tooth arrangement which the client(patient) would love to have. As Esthetic Prosthesis contains its subjective meaning a great deal, it shouldn't be simply distinguished between the beauty of the teeth itself or ugliness. Also in some case, it needs surgical treatment to make it harmonious in the whole aspect so that one may keep the feeling of satisfaction and security. Then what is the shape, color, tooth arrangement that each individual wants? There is an indefinite variety. For example, considering arrangement both regular and irregular is considered beautiful by each different individual. Regular arrangement may be the standard of beauty for some, while irregular arrangement may be thought of as natural looking and beautiful. That is why there must be enough communication with the patient and an agreement be made at the clinic before a diagnostic plan and actual surgery. The treatment plan as mentioned above must be sent to the dental laboratory. In this research, by using case studies, I am going to the importance and appropriateness of the data and information for the dental technician's esthetic prosthesis.

암반 불연속면의 조사 및 분석 과정에서 거쳐야할 필수적인 단계 중 하나는 방대한 불연속면 자료로부터 군을 판별하는 것이다. 불연속면 군 분류는 암반분류, 키블록 해석. 개별요소해석 및 불연속연결망 생성과 같은 암반공학적 업무에 있어서 필수적이다. 일반적으로 등고선도를 이용한 수작업 군 분류가 적용되었으나 이 방법은 수작업에 의존한 주관적인 결과를 제공한다는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 유전자알고리즘을 이용한 불연속면 군 분석기법을 도입하였으며 방향성 자료에 적용하기 위해 기본적인 유전자알고리즘을 변경하였다. 최종적으로 이러한 이론을 적용한 FORTRAN 프로그램 GAC를 개발하였으며 두 가지 형태의 불연속면 자료의 군 분석에 적용하였다. 적용 결과 GAC를 적용한 군 분류는 빠르고 효율적인 군 분석방법임을 확인하였으며 최적의 불연속면 군 수를 결정하는 데 있어서 분산에 근거한 적합도 함수가 Davis-Bouldin 지수에 근거한 적합도 함수보다 효율적인 것으로 나타났다.

양안 부등 정보가 네온 색 확산에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 두 편의 실험을 수행하였다. 자극으로는 Redies와 Spillmann(1981)의 연구에서 사용된 네온 색 확산 자극에 유도 선분과 분절을 추가하여 변형시킨 자극을 사용하였다. 실험1은 선분을 바깥 분절, 가운데 분절, 안쪽 분절 세 부분으로 나누어 각 분절의 양안 부등 정보를 달리하였을 때 네온 색 확산이 어떻게 달라지는지 살펴보았다. 실험 2에서는 다른 깊이 평면에 추가된 분절이 네온색 확산에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 실험 결과 모든 분절이 동일한 평면에 놓일 때 가장 선명하게 색 확산이 지각 되었으며 색 분절이 다른 분절들보다 가까이 있는 경우나 멀리있는 경우에는 색 확산이 약화되었다. 분절을 추가한 경우에는 추가된 분절이 네온 색 확산평면보다 앞쪽이든 뒤쪽이든 상관없이 네온 색 확산이 감소하지만 안쪽 분절이 추가된 경우보다 바깥쪽 분절이 추가되었을 때 네온 색 확산에 더 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 네온 색 확산 현상이 깊이 정보에 의해 영향을 받을 수는 있지만 깊이처리 이전 단계의 정보처리에 더 크게 영향 받음을 시사한다.

An esthetically pleasing result in denture service is dependent upon several consideration. Esthetic considerations for the edentulous patient include tooth size, shape, arrangement, positioning, gingival contour, age, sex, personality differences, and ethnic type. Especially, the form of anterior artificial teeth is an important factor on the esthetics. The selection of artificaial teeth requires understanding and knowledge on physical and biologic factors and has to meet the indivisul esthetics and functional needs of each patient. However, the selection of artificial teeth is based on the large degree of subjective judgement of the dentist, Therefore, this is one of the most unscientific processes. Many attempts have been made to find a guideline for the selection of artificial teeth. Temperamental theory by White and Hall utillized with the physical characteristics such as body size, body form, color of eyes and hair, and disposition. SPA theory by Frush and Fisher utilized with the basis of sex, personalities, and age of the indivisual. There has not been provided for a guideline and study on the selection of artificial teeth for Koreans yet. This study was aimed to evaluate the William's typal matching theory in Koreans. 1. The facial forms of korean adult were ovoid(46.3%), square(36.7%) and tapered(17.0%) form. 2. The anatomic forms of natural maxillary incisors were ovoid(45.3%), tapered(31.3%), square(23.3%) form. 3. The forms of face and natural maxillary incisors were ovoid(21.9%), squared(11%), tapered(6.3%). 4. The natural maxillary incisors were similar in form to the facial form only in 39%. There was no correlation between the form of the face and the form of natural maxillary central inisors in Koreans. 5. Artificaial teeth which was selected according to the typal matching theory did not represent the form of the natural teeth in 61 per cents of the fatal, but it felt that they harmonized with the form of the patient's face and produced good results.

Purpose: Posttraumatic nasal deformities might not be corrected adequately by conventional osteotomy techniques when the configuration of the nasal bone has been changed due to malunion. To consistently obtain good aesthetic and functional results, the anatomic reduction of malunion sites of the nasal bone is important. The purpose of this study is to present an osteotomy technique, including refracture along malunion sites and anatomical reduction of a malformed nasal bone, for the correction of a posttraumatic deviated nose. Methods: From March of 2003 to May of 2004, 27 patients, who underwent corrective rhinoplasty for the correction of bony pyramid deviation, were included in this study. Postoperative results of the technique were evaluated objectively at 1 year after surgery regarding nasal midline location, nose symmetry, and nasal contour. Results were rated as excellent, good, fair, or poor. All patients were also evaluated subjectively for cosmetic improvement, changes in breathing, and overall satisfaction. Results: Objective analysis of the outcomes revealed an excellent result in 17 patients(63%), good in 9(33%), and fair in 1 patient(4%). No case evaluated had a poor result. Regarding subjective analysis, 19 patients(70%) evaluated the cosmetic outcome as perfect. Among the 21 patients with preoperative airway problems, 19 patients(90%) reported improved breathing post-operatively. Patients' overall satisfaction levels were also very positive. No postoperative complications occurred during the 14 month mean follow-up period. Conclusion: The osteotomy technique presented in this study is simple, effective, and safe for correcting posttraumatic nasal deviation, and also produces consistent results.
