This study explores how avatar customization influences the continuous intention to use the metaverse, mediated by self-expansion. The moderating effects of self-efficacy between avatar customization and self-expansion are also explored. Data were collected through an online survey using consumer panels. Participants were Zepeto users aged 18 or older who had used the platform within the previous six months. They were asked to recall a recent shopping experience of exploring the virtual fashion store via Zepeto. A total of 196 valid responses from participants were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 for descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, and PROCESS procedure, and AMOS 23.0 for confirmatory factor analysis. Results demonstrate that avatar customization increases continuous intention to use the metaverse; this effect is mediated by self-expansion. The moderated mediation effect of self-efficacy in the indirect path was significant and mediated by self-expansion. Specifically, the interplay effect of avatar customization and self-efficacy on self-expansion was statistically significant. For participants with high self-efficacy, avatar customization increases self-expansion, and it mediates the relationship between avatar customization and the continuous intention to use the metaverse. Findings contribute to expanding the literature on metaverse usage by testing the impact of avatar customization on self-expansion.

It is difficult to perform orthodontic treatment for cleft lip and palate patient. Although there are many orthodontic appliances to expand narrowed maxillary arch, results are rarely successful and the possibility of relapse is increased due to severe scars. Self-ligating bracket, recently used in orthodontic treatment, suggests solution of crowding by expansion of dental arches. Light and continuous force could apply for orthodontic movement due to characteristic low friction of self ligating bracket, which gives expansion force until dentition reaches its new equilibrium position and it can be expressed as spontaneous lateral expansion with heavy labial tension. This kind of expansion force is thought to be a possibility of expanding the constricted maxillary arch of cleft lip and palate patient. Repositioning of the maxilla by Le Fort I osteotomy in case of severe maxillary deficiency, increases the possibility of relapse because of limitation in anterior movement and adaptation of soft tissue. In these cases, distraction osteogenesis(DO) can be applied for stable result. We report a case of cleft lip and palate patient with narrowed maxillary arch and maxillary deficiency using self ligating bracket and DO.

This paper studied the influences of the main design parameter-the expansion angle and the material properties of the self-expansion anterior cruciate ligament fixation device on the contact condition with the bone and the initial stability of the device. Using finite element analysis, the stress distributions of the ring part of the device and the wall of the bone tunnel were calculated. And the micro-migration of the device by the pull-out force was calculated. From the analysis results, it was found that when designing the self-expansion type anterior cruciate ligament fixation device, it is desirable to use the material having higher Young's modulus and to design the fixation device that all wedges uniformly maintain contact with bone to obtain initial stability after operation.

This paper introduces the notion of semi-compatible self-maps in 2-metric spaces and establishes a fixed point theorem for four self-maps, satisfying an implicit relation through semi-compatibility of a pair of self-maps. This results in another fixed point theorem for four expansion maps which generalizes and improves many results of Kang et. al. [5] with an application.

We investigated the biomechanical properties of a newly designed self-expansion type anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) anchor. The ACL anchor consists of the ring section giving the elastic force, the wedge for maintaining in contact with the femur tunnel wall and the link suspending hamstring graft or artificial ligament. The main design parameters that determine the performance of this device were the expansion angle (${\theta}$) and the thickness ($t_R$). The Ti6Al4V anchors were heated after inserting in a jig for 1 hour at $800^{\circ}C$ in a protective argon gas atmosphere and allowed to cool to room temperature in the furnace. In order to investigate the influence of the expansion angle and the thickness of the ring on the biomechanical properties of the anchor, the maximum pull-out load, stiffness and slippage of the ACL anchor were measured using the pull-out tester, and statistical analyses were also executed. The present results showed that the design parameters gave a significant effect on the performance of the self- expansion type of anchor. The pull-out load of the ACL anchors significantly increased as the thickness of the ring section was increased, having a similar trend for both expansion angles. The ACL anchor showed about 2.5 times higher values of the pull-out load than that of the minimum load (500N)required for the "accelerated rehabilitation". The optimum ${\theta}$ and $t_R$ values of this ACL anchor were suggested to have sufficient resistance against the pull-out force, high stiffness and relatively low slippage after ACL reconstruction.

다층 및 다중구획 하이드로젤을 설계하여 4D 마스크팩 적용을 위한 자가접힘 특성분석을 수행하였다. 온도민감성 분자를 하이드로젤에 도입하여 팽창비가 다른 두 층으로 구성된 하이드로젤을 제조하였다. 나아가 팽창비 차이를 조절하여 자가접힘 정도가 다른 삼중구획 하이드로젤을 설계하였다. 상온에서 각각 0.03, 0, $0.03mm^{-1}$의 곡률을 갖는 구획화된 하이드로젤은 피부 온도에서 1.33, 0, $1.33mm^{-1}$의 곡률로 변화하여, 안면 밀착성이 현저히 높아지는 것을 확인하였다. 다층 및 다중구획 하이드로젤 제조 기술은 안면의 부위별 굴곡모양에 따라 자가변환이 가능한 맞춤형 4D 마스크팩 구현에 활용될 수 있다.

The increased environmental concerns and the emphasis on recycling are gradually shifting the orientation of municipal solid waste (MSW) management. This paper is designed to evaluate regionalization programs for MSW management system. We developed a mixed intiger network programming (MIP) model to identify environment-friendly, cost-effective expansion plans for regionalization scenarios considered. The MIP model is a dynamic capacity expansion model based on the network flow model that depicts the MSW management cycle. In particular, our model is designed to determine the optimal form of regionalization using binary variables. We apply this model to assess the regionalization program of Seoul Metropolitan City, which includes three scenarios such as 1) districting, 2) regionalization with neighboring self-governing districts, and 3) g1obalization with all districts. We demonstrate how our model can be used to plan the MSW system. The results indicate that optimal regionalization with nearby self-governing districts can eliminate unnecessary landfills and expansions if jurisdictional obstacles are removed.

Cavity expansion and contraction solutions for cylindrical and spherical cavities in unsaturated residual soils are presented in this paper. Varying soil state in the plastic zone is accounted by a numerical approach, wherein an element-by-element discretization of the plastic zone of both expanding and contracting cavities is carried out. Unlike existing methods utilizing self-similarity technique, the solution procedure enables the prediction of entire soil-state at any stage of expansion and subsequent contraction. It is also applicable for both cavity creation and expansion problems. The approach adopts constant contribution of suction to effective stress (constant X^s drainage condition) for analysis. The analysis procedure is validated by interpreting the previously reported pressuremeter test results in lateritic residual soil. The typical cavity expansion and contraction characteristics of unsaturated Indian lateritic soil were then examined using this solution procedure. The effect of initial soil-state on cavity limit pressure, plastic radius, reverse yield pressure, and reverse plastic radius are also presented.
