  • This study was performed to establish Korean soft tissue cephalometric norms, to compare the norms between sexes and between races, and then to suggest a guideline to execute orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning for dentofacial deformities in Korean. Young Korean adults were selected. They were 27 males $(23.8{\pm}2.6-year-old)$ and 20 females $(22.5{\pm}1.7-year-old)$ who had harmonious facial balance. After taking lateral cephalograms under the natural head position which is widely known as a highly reliable and reproducible reference position, films were traced and analysing factors were measured as introduced by Arnett et at. Comparisons were done between male and female groups and between Korean and Caucasian groups using unpaired t-test. From the results it was concluded that Korean male had generally thicker lower facial soft tissue and smaller nasolabial angle, longer facial height, deeper facial depth, and more protrusive lower face than Korean female. From the comparison with Caucasian norms adopted from the research of Arnett et al., both Korean male and female showed longer facial lengths generally except less exposed maxillary incisor, and shorter facial depth than Caucasian counterparts. Also, both races showed similar horizontal position of maxillary structures from TVL (true vertical line), but there were more significant anteroposterior differences of marilla-mandible in Korean groups. These results mean Korean had relatively more retruded mandibular structures from the reference line, TVL. Individuals who had harmonious facial balance showed similar facial angle, more or less 170 degree, regardless of sexes or races.

  • Background: Ionizing radiation is known to be harmful to human health. The shielding of ionizing radiation depends on the attenuation which can be achieved by three main rules, i.e. time, distance and absorbing material. Materials and Methods: The mass attenuation coefficient, linear attenuation coefficient, Half Value Layer (HVL) and Tenth Value Layer (TVL) of X-rays (32 keV, 74 keV) and gamma rays (662 keV) are measured in Barium compounds. Results and Discussion: The measured values agree well with the theory. The effective atomic numbers ($Z_{eff}$) and electron density (Ne) of Barium compounds have been computed in the wide energy region 1 keV to 100 GeV using an accurate database of photon-interaction cross sections and the WinXCom program. Conclusion: The mass attenuation coefficient and linear attenuation coefficient for $BaCO_3$ is higher than the $BaCl_2$, $Ba(No_3)_2$ and BaSO4. HVL, TVL and mean free path are lower for $BaCO_3$ than the $BaCl_2$, $Ba(No_3)_2$ and $BaSO_4$. Among the studied barium compounds, $BaCO_3$ is best material for x-ray and gamma shielding.

  • Neutron and gamma-ray shielding properties of Inconel 718 reinforced B4C (0-25 wt%) were investigated using PSD software. Mean free path (MFP), linear and mass attenuation coefficients (LAC,MAC), tenth-value and half-value layers (TVL,HVL), effective atomic number (Zeff), exposure buildup factors (EBF), and fast neutron removal cross-sections (FNRC) values were calculated for 0.015-15 MeV. It was found that MAC and LAC increased with the decrease in the content of B4C compound by weight in Inconel 718. The EBFs were computed using G-P fitting method for 0.015-15 MeV up to the penetration depth of 40 mfp. HVL, TVL, and FNRC values were found to range between 0.018 cm and 3.6 cm, between 2.46 cm and 12.087 cm, and between 0.159 cm-1 and 0.194 cm-1, respectively. While Inconel 718 provides the maximum photon shielding property since it offered the highest values of MAC and Zeff and the lowest value of HVL, Inconel 718 with B4C(25 wt%) was observed to provide the best shielding material for neutron since it offered the highest FNRC value. The study is original in terms of several aspects; moreover, the results of the study may be used in nuclear technology, as well as other technologies including nano and space technologies.

  • 살균제인 pentachloronitrobenzene(PCNB)의 직업적 노출을 위한 TLV-TWA를 0.5 mg/$m^3$으로 권고하였다. 이 수준은 간에 영향을 미치는 것을 최소화하기 위한 수준이다 피부자극과 피부 흡수에 관한 것은 증명되지 않았다. PCNB에 대한 발암가능성을 흰쥐와 생쥐를 대상으로 생물학적 검정을 한 결과, 생쥐에서 양성이었다. 이러한 결과는 생물학적 검정에 사용한 PCNB가 공업용이었고 불순물로 포함된 hexachlorobenzene에 의해 암이 유발된 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 FCNB 물질은 발암성 유발 인자(A4;Not Classifiable as a Human Carcinogen)로 권고하였다. PCNB의 Skin, SEN notation, TLV-STEL에 관한 정보는 충분한 데이터가 확보되지 않아 제공되지 못하고 있다.

  • 디자인 패턴의 사용은 시스템을 좀 더 유연하고, 이해하기 쉽고, 재사용 가능하게 만든다. 개발이 완료된 시스템이 명확하게 문서화가 되어 있으면, 시스템의 내부 구조를 이해하기 쉽고, 향후 유지 보수의 비용이 적게 든다. 하지만, 대부분 시스템의 경우 개발된 시스템의 문서화가 잘 되어 있지 않기 때문에, 시스템에 문제가 생겨 수정 하고자 하거나, 새로운 모듈을 추가하여 시스템의 기능을 확장하고자 할 때, 전체 소스코드를 분석하여 시스템을 이해해야 하는 어려움이 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서 소스코드에서 자동적으로 디자인 패턴을 인식하여 문서화를 증진시킬 수 있다. 따라서 신뢰할 만한 디자인 패턴 인식 시스템이 중요하다. 지금까지 디자인 패턴 인식 방법은 시스템의 구조적인 특징만을 이용하여 패턴을 인식하여 왔다. 그래서 본 논문은 구조적인 특징뿐만 아니라 동적인 분석, 그리고 자동학습(machine learning)에 기반하여 소스코드로부터 디자인 패턴을 인식하는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 그리고 전 작업에서 만든 자바로 쓰여진 에이전트 개발 툴을 대상으로 실시하여 인식한 디자인 패턴에 대한 평가를 하였다.

  • In this study, to determine the most effective alloy for shielding against gamma-rays, the gamma-ray shielding parameters of six types of cerrobend alloys have been investigated. Gamma-ray interaction with the cerrobend alloys has been discussed mainly in terms of total mass attenuation coefficient (${\mu}_t$), half value layer (HVL), tenth value layer (TVL), effective atomic number ($Z_{eff}$), and effective electron density ($N_{eff}$). These parameters have been calculated by theoretical approach using the ParShield program in a photon energy range between 0.1 MeV and 100 GeV. The dependence of these parameters on the incident photon energy and chemical composition of the cerrobend alloys has been studied.

  • Wind loads for cladding can be estimated using the maximum wind pressure including gust effects from wind-tunnel tests. However, when estimating the maximum wind pressure with gust effects, wind pressure coefficients for cladding would be different according to the averaging time of wind pressures, In the paper, for wind pressures obtained from wind-tunnel tests for apartment buildings, whose window panes were damaged by actual strong wind, it was investigated how pressure coefficients varied according to the size of cladding and averaging time using TVL method of Lawson. In result, it was found that the lesser the size of cladding and averaging time were, the larger pressure coefficients became. Accordingly, to estimate wind loads for cladding of apartment buildings and design it, the averaging time of wind pressures should be considered properly.

  • 펜타클로로페놀의 현재 직업적 노출기준은 $0.5\;mg/m^3$(TLV-TWA)으로 권고하고 있다. 이 수치는 눈, 점막과 상기도의 염증과 발한, 열, 위장 불만, 시각 장해, 중추 신경계와 심혈관계 장해를 유발할 수 있는 급성 독성의 가능성을 최소로 하는 것을 목적으로 설정하였다. Chloracne는 공업용 펜타클로로페놀을 사용하거나 펜타클로로페놀을 생산하는 근로자들에 대해서 보고하였다. 펜타클로로페놀은 피부를 통해서 즉시 흡수되는데, 이 물질의 조직 독성은 펜타클로로페놀을 포함한 용액이나 펜타클로로페놀로 오염된 의류와 접촉된 사람에게서 보고되었다. 따라서 피부경고주석은 적합한 것으로 판단되었다. 펜타클로로페놀의 발암성 잠재력에 대한 명확한 증거는 간세포성과 신장에 가까운 신생물이 관찰된 설치류 생물 검정에서 발견되었다. 그러므로 본 물질은 인간에게 불명확한 관련성을 가진 동물성 발암물질(A3)로 설정하였다. 충분한 자료가 확보되지 않아 감작성 (SEN) 경고주석 또는 TLV-STEL은 권고되지 않았다. 펜타클로로페놀은 생물학적 노출지수(BEIs)가 권고된 물질이다.
