Coil guns are known worldwide as inexpensive space launch vehicles. The principle of Fleming's right-hand rule allows the coil gun to accelerate the projectile by applying enormous voltage to the solenoid coil. This study was performed to improve the speed of the coil gun using MATLAB, a commercially available numerical program for high launching force of electromagnetic projectiles. To maximize the speed of the projectile, the largest coil of American wire gauge was used, and the number of windings in the radial and axial directions of the solenoid coil was optimized. Optimal length of the projectile was obtained by calculating the optimal aspect ratio between the axial length of the solenoid coil and the length of the projectile.

Pigmented villonodular synovitis is a destructive, fibrohistiocytic proliferation producing innumerable villous and nodular synovial protrusions. Its common locations are knee, ankle, foot, and hip. Although histologic feature of this tumor is well known, there have been few reports on the fine needle aspiration cytology findings. We report the cytologic features of a biopsy-proven case oi pigmented villonodular synovitis. The patient was a 21-year-old male with a mass of the right knee for 2 years. On fine needle aspiration cytology, the aspirates was composed of abundant mononuclear histiocytic cells, singly and in clusters, multinucleated slant cells, and hemoslderin pigments.

Calcific tendinitis of the shoulder joint, also known as chemical furuncle of the shoulder, causes intense shoulder pain and usually occurs within 1-2 cm from the insertion of the rotator cuff. We experienced a rare case of calcific tendinitis in the posterosuperior labrum of the shoulder joint in a 39-year-old male patient who presented with severe pain and weakness in the right shoulder. Radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings showed calcific tendinitis in the posterosuperior labrum of the shoulder joint. A 1-week attempt at conservative treatment failed, so the calcified deposit in the posterosuperior labrum was arthroscopically removed. The patient's symptoms were completely relieved, and satisfactory clinical outcomes were achieved. Postoperative follow-up X-ray and MRI showed no recurrence of calcific tendinitis.

Reengineering, also known as a business process redesign, involves a fundamental rethinking, and often a radical redesign, of an entire business process or a set of process to achieve dramatic improvements. The central paradox of reengineering is that its own advantages constitute the greatest threat to its success. For reengineering to be the right choice, the organization must have real capacities to embrace changes across the board. The key is to begin with, and to preserve, a vision of the new order, which drives this structured approach, and is in turn calibrated by that approach. However, in most cases of these calibrations, the empirical evidences on the effect of determinants in the reengineering are required. Seemingly, the research results in this area are scarcely verified. This article tried to search the effect of four dimensions of the reengineering toward the performance of reengineering. The results showed that the factors of the organization behavior and of the methodology/operation had more affected on the performance.

Nuclear transplantation technique is known as the most potential and efficient method for producing a large number of genetically identical animals from a single embryo. The technical development of nuclear transplantation in mammals and its application to the production of cloned animals are described. For the efficient and successful production of cloned embryos by nuclear transplantation, the right selection and micromanipulation of recipient eggs or embryos as capacious recipient cytoplasm, the adequate and benefitlal preparation of multiple totipotent embryonic cells as donor nuclei, and also the fusion technique are very critical. Recent studies approaching to these critical points are introduced and discussed. Up to date, the overall efficiency of production of cloned embryos and offspring in livestock is estimated to be low. Further technical development of nuclear transplantation will enable large-scale production of cloned livestock and in near future the commercial cloning of animals will become a reality.

Takayasu`s arteritis is a non-specific arteritis involving the aorta and its major branches. Because of the complexity in the feature of vessel involvement, it represents various clinical presentations according to the sites of involvement. In general, the medical and the surgical treatment of this progressive disease are known to be unsatisfactory but the surgical treatment can provide symptomatic relief and prolong life in selected cases. Recently we experienced one case of Takayasu`s arteritis involving the aortic arch and its major branches. A 45 year-old male patient admitted with the complaints of dizziness, headache, visual disturbance and coldness of upper extremities. Ascending aortogram revealed total occlusion of innominate artery and near total occlusion of left common carotid artery at the site of origin of both vessels. Under the clinical diagnosis of Takayasu`s arteritis, aorto-bicarotid-right subclavian bypass was performed. Postoperative course was uneventful and most of symptoms were relieved except mild residual visual disturbance.

The purpose of this paper is to develop a method of the sensitivity analysis that can be applied to a non-tree solution of the minimum cost flow problem. First, we introduce two types of sensitivity analysis. A sensitivity analysis of Type 1a is the well known method applicable to a tree solution. However this method can not be applied to a non-tree solution. So we propose a sensitivity analysis of Type 2 that keeps solutions of upper bounds at upper bounds, those of lower bounds at lower bounds, and those of intermediate values at intermediate values. For the cost coefficient we present a method that the sensitivity analysis of Type 2 is solved by finding the shortest path. Besides we also show that the results of Type 2 and Type 1 are the same in a spanning tree solution. For the right-hand side constant or the capacity, the sensitivity analysis of Type 2 is solved by a simple calculation using arcs with intermediate values.

The purpose of this study is to suggest a new method to develop the apparel design applied construction of traditional swimsuit wearing Jeju woman divers known as Haenyeo. Jeju Haenyeos are represented as an image of the diligent and strong woman. With such an image, they have become the symbol of Jeju women. Furthermore, Jeju Haeyeo culture will be rebranded. The Jeju woman divers wear special swimsuit (Mul-sojungii) when harvesting the various sea products. The Mul-sojungii was buttoned down the right side so that it could be easily removed. Therefore, it is to review the fashion design products for effective item applied the original or modified folding technique of Mul-sojungii. As a result, it was to develop the bolero, jump suit and dress design of Korean image using folding technique(Guljapgi) of Mul-sojungii that is one of the unique, indigenous construction of Jeju.

To achieve fast loading and unloading of containers from a container ship, quick suppression of the remaining sway motion of the container at the end of each trolley stroke is crucial. Due to the pendulum motion of the container and disturbances like sind, residual sway always exists at the end of trolley movement. In this paper, the sway-control problem of a container crane is investigated. A two-stage control is proposed. The first stage is a time optimal controlfor the purpose of fast trolley traveling. The second stage is a nonlinear control for the quick suppression of residual sway, which starts right after the first stage while lowering the container. The nonlinear control is investigated in the perspective of controlling an underatuated mechanical system, which combines partial feedback linearization to account for the known nonlinearities as much as possible, and variable structure control to account for the unmodeled dynamics and disturbances. Simulation and experimental results are provided.

Lateral approximants are well known as having complex articulatory characteristics, which vary cross-linguistically, across speakers, and across utterances. However, less attention has been paid to the articulation of Korean laterals, which do not contrast with a rhotic and may thus exhibit greater-than-normal variability. The focus of this study is to investigate the general articulatory characteristics of the Korean lateral [l] as well as the articulatory variation using novel 3D ultrasound imaging methods. The results of this study revealed significant between-speaker variation and some vowel-dependent variation with regard to the articulation of the Korean lateral [l], which has not been reported previously. Even though all participants in this study showed an anterior occlusion, the place of articulation and the size of the occlusion varied greatly across speakers. The data also revealed that left-right asymmetry is present in the articulation of the Korean lateral. The individual variation of the Korean lateral [l] suggests that it has a large articulatory-acoustic space for variation, since it has no contrasting sound that causes perceptual confusion.
