From April 1990 through June 1990, three patients underwent subclavian flap aortoplasty for relief of the coarctation of the aorta. The age of the patients were 13 days, 7 months and 39 months and their weights were 3.3kg, 6.5kg, and 11kg, respectively. Two patients had persistence of the ductus arteriosus and all patients had associated intracardiac anomalies. We used the technique devised by Mendonca, namely, repair of the coarctation of the aorta using the subclavian artery as a flap and preservation of the arterial blood flow to the left arm. In one patient with long narrowing of isthmus, significant residual pressure gradient was remained by this technique and we added patch aortoplasty. There were no hospital deaths and follow-up over a one year period shows all patients in good condition.

Postpneumonectomy syndrome is a rare condition characterized by dyspnea due to an extreme mediastinal shift and bronchial compression of the residual lung after a right pneumonectomy or a left pneumonectomy with the right aortic arch, Severe fibrosis of the lung such as tuberculsosis (TB) - destroyed lung can cause similar clinical features in the absence of pneumonectomy. We report a unique case of postpneumonectomy syndrome without pneumonectomy, which was successfully treated with pneumonectomy and mediastinal repositioning with tissue expanders.

Vertically aligned single-crystal ZnO nanowires have been successfully grown on c-plane sapphire substrate using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) without catalyst. According to growth temperatures, it was changed ZnO growth characteristic. We investigated the effect of substrate temperatures on the growth ZnO films or nanowires on c-plane (0001) sapphire substrates. The ZnO films were acquired at $500^{\circ}C$, whereas the ZnO nanowires were obtained at $600^{\circ}C$, $700^{\circ}C$, and $800^{\circ}C$. The growth behavior diameter and growth rate of ZnO were changed due to different temperature. As a result of analyzing in-plane residual stress by X-ray diffraction, the optimized condition of ZnO nanowires were at $600^{\circ}C$.

The influence of elevated temperatures on the mechanical properties of concrete is important for fire-resistance studies and also for understanding the behavior of containment vessel, such as nuclear reactor pressure vessels, during service and ultimate condition. The present study is to clarify the damage/deterioration of concrete structures that are subjected to high temperature exposure. To this end, comprehensive experiments are conducted. The major test variables are the peak temperatures, rate of temperature increase, and sustained duration at peak temperature. The results include weight loss residual compressive strength and stress-strain curve. From those results, residua compressive strength formula and stress-strain relationship are proposed.

Recently constructions of large scale infrastructures have been tending upwards, due to continuous growth of economy and increase of demands. In addition, hydration heat occurs rapidly in early age just after casting of concrete owing to higher strength and massive structure of concrete. Consequently, cracks and residual stress are developed in accordance to field condition. Moreover, These have harmful influences on safety, durability, watertight, waterproof, and shape of concrete structure. In this study, hydration heat tests were conducted on three of self-compacting concrete and one of high strength concrete. Heat generation and temperature are compared and evaluated based on the test results.

In this paper a new multi-step damage detection approach is provided. In the first step, condensed modal residual vector based indicator (CMRVBI) has been proposed to locate the suspected damaged elements of structures that have rotational degrees of freedom (DOFs). The CMRVBI is a new indicator that uses only translational DOFs of the structures to localize damaged elements. In the next step, salp swarm algorithm is applied to quantify damage severity of the suspected damaged elements. In order to assess the performance of the proposed approach, a numerical example including a three-layer square laminated composite plate is studied. The numerical results demonstrated that the proposed CMRVBI is effective for locating damage, regardless of the effect of noise. The efficiency of proposed approach is also compared during both steps. The results demonstrate that in noisy condition, the damage identification approach is capable for the studied structure.

Combined technique of burner and DOC has been used for regeneration of Diesel Particulate Filter. Experiments has been performed to increase the temperature of engine exhaust gas to burn the collected soot in DPF at all conditions of operation of 3 liter diesel engine. Ignition temperature of soot can be successfully obtained by heats of burner flame and residual fuel oxidation at diesel oxidation catalyst even in the condition of oxygen deficiency. It is found that the load of air compressor and heat loss can be reduced to the level of practical application. It is also found that CO and THC emissions are not increase by additional combustion of regeneration burner.

In this paper, three dimensional magnetostatic fields are analysed using tetrahedral edge elements, magnetic vector potential and modified formulation of weighted residual method. If we define unknown variables in mesh edges, some conditions, such as Coulomb gauge condition in magnetic vector potential are naturally satisfied. So with less memory space, we can obtain more accurate solutions than the method where unknown variables are defined at nodes. Reliability and utility of this method are verified in two examples.

The effect of various conditions of frosting and defrosting on the defrosting behavior of a fin-tube heat exchanger has been examined experimentally. An electric heater is used for defrosting in a fin-tube heat exchanger. There are several local maxima in the water draining rate. The amount of residual water on the heat exchanger after completion of defrosting is kept constant due to surface tension on the heat exchanger. Without considering degradation of the thermal performance due to the frosting, the defrosting efficiency is improved with increasing amount of frost irrespective of the frosting condition. The defrosting behavior is affected by frosting density as well as frost accumulation, both of which vary with the experimental operating conditions. The heat loss to the surrounding air decreases, and melting and defrosting efficiencies show high values with decreasing heat input.

We investigated the effects of residual gas partial pressure on the property of a CeO$_2$ buffer layer on a textured Ni tape, where the buffer layer was deposited by e-beam evaporation. The oxygen partial pressure were varied from 10$^{-7}$ to 10$^{-4}$ Torr. we also changed the surface condition for the surface oxygenation. We'll describe the detail of the resultant textures of the buffer layers and effects of YBCO growth on them
