Aerosol Deposition (AD) is anovel way to fabricate bioactive ceramic coatings in biomedical implants and prostheses applications. In the present work, silicon-substituted hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings on commercially pure titanium were prepared by aerosol deposition using Si-HA powders. The incorporation of silicon in the HA lattice is known to improve the bioactivity of the HA, makingsilicon-substitute HA an attractive alternative to pure HA in biomedical applications. Si-HA powders with the chemical formula $Ca_{10}(PO_4)_6-x(SiO_4)x(OH)_2-x$, having silicon contents up to x=0.5 (1.4 wt%), were synthesized by solid-state reaction of $Ca_2P_2O_7$, $CaCO_3$, and $SiO_2$. The Si-HA powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR). The corresponding coatings were also analyzed by XRD, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and electron probe microanalyzer (EPMA). The results revealed that a single-phase Si-HA was obtained without any secondary phases such as $\alpha$- or $\beta$-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) for both the powders and the coatings.The Si-HA coating was about $5\;{\mu}m$ thick, had a densemicrostructure with no cracks or pores. In addition, the proliferation and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of MC3T3-E1 preosteoblast cells grown on the Si-HA coatings were significantly higher than those on the bare Ti and pure HA coating. These results revealed the stimulatory effects induced by siliconsubstitution on the cellular response to the HA coating.

Purpose: To apply a computer assisted navigation system to orthognathic surgery, a simple and efficient measuring algorithm calculation based on affine transformation was designed. A method of improving accuracy and reducing errors in orthognathic surgery by use of an optical tracking camera was studied. Methods: A total of 5 points on one surgical splint were measured and tracked by the Polaris $Vicra^{(R)}$ (Northern Digital Inc Co., Ontario, Canada) optical tracking system in two cases. The first case was to apply the transformation matrix at pre- and postoperative situations, and the second case was to apply an affine transformation only after the postoperative situation. In each situation, the predictive measuring value was changed to the final measuring value via an affine transformation algorithm and the expected coordinates calculated from the model were compared with those of the patient in the operation room. Results: The mean measuring error was $1.027{\pm}0.587$ using the affine transformation at pre- and postoperative situations and the average value after the postoperative situation was $0.928{\pm}0.549$. The farther a coordinate region was from the reference coordinates which constitutes the transform matrixes, the bigger the measuring error was found which was calculated from an affine transformation algorithm. Conclusion: Most difference errors were brought from mainly measuring process and lack of reproducibility, the affine transformation algorithm formula from postoperative measuring values by using of optic tracking system between those of model surgery and those of patient surgery can be selected as minimizing the difference error. To reduce coordinate calculation errors, minimum transformation matrices must be used and reference points which determine an affine transformation must be close to the area where coordinates are measured and calculated, as well as the reference points need to be scattered.

본 연구에서는 PC교량의 외부텐던의 장력을 평가하기 위하여 신속하고 경제적으로 적용할 수 있는 텐던의 진동을 이용한 고유진동수 측정 방법의 적용성을 검토하였다. 길이별로 다양한 여러 종류의 외부텐던 덕트 표면에 가속도 센서를 부착하고 고유진동수를 측정하였다. 센서의 방향과 위치변경 등 여러 종류의 다양한 진동시험을 실시한 결과 고유진동수의 차이는 1% 이내로서 충분한 정확성을 확보하고 있음을 보였다. 측정된 고유진동수로부터 장력을 추정하기 위해서는 현의공식, 다중모드법, 저차 모드의 실용적 공식을 활용한 방법 (Zui et al., 1996), 양단고정 경계조건에 의한 휨강성을 고려한 현의공식 (Sag$\ddot{u}\grave{e}$s et al., 2006) 등의 장력 추정법을 적용하였고 그 결과값을 비교하였다. 휨강성을 반영하지 못한 현의 공식이나, 다중모드법은 길이가 짧은 텐던에 대해 장력을 과대평가하는 결과가 도출되어 텐던의 장력평가에 적절하지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 텐던의 장력 추정에 적절한 방법은 양단고정 경계조건과 휨강성을 고려한 단단한 현의 공식에 의한 방법임을 알 수 있었으며, 이 방법을 실제 공용중인 PC 교량의 외부텐던에 적용한 결과 방향전환블록에 의한 마찰력으로 긴장단과 고정단에 텐던의 장력 차이가 발생한다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
