  • Correct occlusal relationships are part of the successful prosthetic treatment for edentulous patients. Fabrication of complete dentures comprises of clinical and laboratory procedures that should be executed accurately for achieving success with fabricated dentures. Errors occurring during the clinical and laboratory procedures of a denture may subsequently lead to the occlusal errors in the final prosthesis. These occlusal errors can be corrected in two ways: i) in patient's mouth ii) by recording new centric relation and remounting dentures on an articulator. The latter method is more feasible because the mobility of denture base on the mucosa in oral cavity does not permit the identification of premature contacts in centric occlusion and tooth guided eccentric excursions. This article describes a modest and effective clinical chair-side remount procedure using customized mounting platforms.

  • Intramural esophageal dissection is a rare disorder characterized by a separation of the mucosa and/or submucosa from deeper muscular layers of the esophagus, with or without perforation. Iatrogenic instrumentation such as endoscopy is one of the major causes of IED. We report a case of IED after endoscopy in a patient with hypopharyngeal cancer treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy, and suggest that a history of chemoradiotherapy can be a risk factor of IED on endoscopy. In this case, chest computed tomography scans show not only typical esophageal double lumen but also eccentric esophageal wall thickening and abnormally thin the other side esophageal wall, and this CT finding may also be important to diagnose IED.

  • The cross-flow fan which is used for air-conditioner indoor units were studied experimentally. The recent trend shows that the room air-conditioners need to be good-looking. According to the visual design concepts the intake regions of the fan can vary, which leads to the loss of the performance and the increase of the noise of the fan. In order to optimize the performance of the fan and minimize the aerodynamic noise for the system, the performance characteristics and the noise of the cross-flow fan have been investigated at the various conditions of the intake region of the unit.

  • The lock-up position of the floating ring seal affects the leakage flowrate and the stability. And it is changed depending on the operating and geometry condition. In this paper, the leakage flowrate and stability with change of the height and length were investigated by theoretical analysis and experiment. The parameter of the height and length is expressed to the b and L. The decreasing of the b resulted in the increasing of equivalent whirl frequency ratio in the experimental result at the low speed and high pressure not such as theoretical analysis. As the L increased the leakage flowrate decreased and stiffness and direct damping coefficient increased in the experimental result. That was similar to the theoretical analysis.

  • The vibration characteristics of fully and partially embedded piles with flexibly supported end carrying an eccentric tip mass are investigated. The pile model is based on the Bernoulli-Euler theory and the soil is idealized as a Winkler model for mathematical simplicity. The governing differential equations for the free vibrations of such members are solved numerically using the corresponding boundary conditions. The lowest three natural frequencies and corresponding mode shapes are calculated over a wide range of non-dimensional system parameters: the rotational spring parameter, the relative stiffness, the embedded ratio, the mass ratio, the dimensionless mass moment of inertia, and the tip mass eccentricity.

  • Proprioceptive neuromusculat facilitation(PNF), scapular patterns are very important for orthopaedic and neurologic patients. It is an essential treatment techniques for motor developmental disorder, CVA, cervical disk, frozen shoulder and pain control of cervical, shoulder girdle and upper extremity. Scapular patterns of PNF has 4 different type of pattern. each of them in combining of movement plane and functional movement. Biomechanically, most of PNF patterns are a concentric contraction with third-claw lever. But the movement pattern have a technique of combination of isotonic that should make a eccentric contraction with second-claw lever.

  • The objections raised by researchers to the design provisions reported in Eurocode 8 make the efficient seismic performance of the eccentrically braced structures designed according to this code unlikely. Given the rationality and the number of the objections, this paper aims to summarize the criticism of researchers and report the opinion of the Authors. The objections raised to the design procedure of eccentrically braced structures regard aspects common to the design of steel structures and aspects specifically related to the design of eccentrically braced structures. The significance of these objections is also shown by means of exemplary cases.

  • 현재 방폭설계 관련 설계지침은 기둥제거시나리오를 이용한 대체하중경로법을 주로 적용하고 있지만, 실제로 폭발이 발생하였을 때 기둥의 완전한 파괴가 일어나지 않을 경우 이 방식을 적용하는 것은 적합하지 않다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 비선형 동적 해석 프로그램인 AUTODYN을 이용해 편심하중을 받는 철근 콘크리트 기둥의 잔존 폭발 저항 성능을 평가하는 방식을 제안하였다. 해석결과를 비교해보면 TNT양과 축하중이 클수록 철근콘크리트 기둥의 잔존 폭발 저항 성능이 감소되었다. 이것은 폭발이 발생하기전의 기둥의 편심하중에 의한 응력상태에 따라 폭발 저항 성능이 달라짐을 알 수 있다.

  • In several structural problems, the low concrete strength of compression members has the severest influence on the structural safety. However, the repairing and strengthening techniques for compression members are not established and evaluated. This study aimed to develop and evaluate the rehabilitation techniques to obtain proper structural strength of wall with low concrete strength. The specimens with low strength of concrete were retrofitted with commonly using section increase method and epoxy bonded glass fiber techniques. The tests were executed to failure under concentric and eccentric loads. In this paper, the structural behavior and failure modes were investigated to evaluate the strengthening effects of walls subjected to compression and out-of-plane bending.
