A new algorithm has been developed to construct surface from the contours having branches and the final smooth surface is obtained by the reversible Catmull-Clark subdivision. In branching, a particular layer has more than one contour that correspond with at least one contour at the adjacent layer. In the next step, three-dimensional composite curve is constructed from contours of a layer having correspondence with at least one contour at the adjacent layer by inserting points between them and joining the contours. The points are inserted in such a way that the geometric center of the contours should merge at the center of the contours at the adjacent layer. This process is repeated for all layers having branching problems. Polyhedra are constructed in the next step with the help of composite curves and the contours at adjacent layer. The required smooth surface is obtained in the proposed work by providing the level of smoothness.

Tuberculomas of the lung are rare in children and one of the more common lesions presenting a solitary pulmonary nodule roetgenorgraphically. We are reporting of a 3-year-old child with a tuberculoma in left upper lobe. The patient was initially diagnosed as the benign mediastinal tumor but in the end as tuberculoma in left uper lobe. Wedge resection including the mass was done. The tumor had brown smooth external surfaces on sectioning including the mass was done. The tumor had brown smooth external surfaces on sectioning show pale gray and soft cut surface was shown. In light electromicroscopy chronic granulomas with multinucleated giant cells and central caseous necrosis were observed which are the characteristics of tuberculoma. The postopeative course was smooth and uneventful and patient has been well for 4 months postoperatively.

Pixel classification is one of basic image processing issues. The general characteristics of the pixels belonging to various classes are discussed and the radical principles of pixel classification are given. At the same time. a pixel classification scheme based on image direction measure is proposed. As a typical application instance of pixel classification, an adaptive multi-level median filter is presented. An image can be classified into two types of areas by using the direction information measure, that is. smooth area and edge area. Single direction multi-level median filter is used in smooth area. and multi-direction multi-level median filter is taken in the other type of area. What's more. an adaptive mechanism is proposed to adjust the type of the filters and the size of filter window. As a result. we get a better trade-off between preserving details and noise filtering.

Let K be a nonempty closed bounded convex subset of an arbitrary smooth Banach space X and T : KlongrightarrowK be a strictly hemi-contractive operator. Under some conditions we obtain that the Mann iteration method with errors both converges strongly to a unique fixed point of T and is almost T-stable on K. The results presented in this paper generalize the corresponding results in [l]-[7], [20] and others.

Using conventional deposition techniques, we demonstrate a method to fabricate ultra-smooth 10 nm silver films without using a wetting layer or co-depositing another material. The argon working pressure plays a crucial role in achieving an excellent surface flatness for silver films deposited by DC magnetron sputtering on an InP substrate. The formation of ultra-smooth silver thin films is very sensitive to the argon pressure. At the optimum deposition condition, a uniform silver film with an rms surface roughness of 0.81 nm has been achieved.

These studies were conducted to investigate the effect of 'Inchungbaek' water extract on analgesic and sedative actions, the relaxing action of isolated ileums, vasodilating action and blood pressure. The results of these studies were summarized as follows: Analgesic and sedative actions of 'Inchungbaek' were recognized in mice and rats. The relaxing action of isolated ileums were seen in mice and rabbits, antagonist action was seen acetylcholine and $BaCl_2-induced$ contraction of isolated ileums, and then recognized direct action in the ileum smooth muscle. Hypotensive and vasodilating actions due to vascular smooth muscle relaxation were noted in rabbits and cats.

These studies were carried out to investigate the effects of Ohotang water extract on the inhibitory contractile action of acetylcholine in control rat. The results of these were as follows; 1. Contractile force of acetylcholine from trachea smooth muscle in control rat was significantly inhibited by Ohotang. 2. Dose-response of acetylcholine pretreated Ohotang in control rat was significantly inhibited. 3. Inhibitory contractile action of acetylcholine pretreated propranolol in control rat was significantly inhibited by Ohotang. 4. Contractile force of acetylcholine pretreated indomethacin from trachea smooth muscle in control rat was not significantly changed. 5. Inhibitory contractile action of acetylcholine pretreated methylene blue in control rat was not significantly changed.

The results of these studies were as follows: 1. Contractile force of acetylcholine from tracheal smooth muscle in control rat was significantly inhibited by Macmundongtang. 2. Inhibition contractile action of acetylcholine pretreated ACH $ED_{50}$ in control rat was significantly changed. 3. Dose-response of acetylcholine pretreated Macmundongtang in control rat was not significant. 4. Inhibitory contractile action of acetylcholine pretreated propranolol in control rat was not significantly changed by Macmundongtang. 5. Inhibitory contractile action of acetylcholine pretreated methylene blue in control rat was significantly changed. 6. Contractile force of acetylcholine pretreated indomethacin from trachea smooth muscle in control rat was not significantly inhibited by Macmundongtang.

The measurements of heat transfer and pressure drop were performed on ripple tube with air flow. The results with the tube were compared with the performance of smooth tube. The enhancements in heat transfer coefficient for ripple tube, being compared with smooth tube, was ranged from 7.4 to 39 percent. The local Nusselt number for the inner fin tube, being compared with that for smooth tube, varied from 7.4% to 39%, while the corresponding increase in friction factors were 4.1 to 8.1%. One of the most direct indications of Nusselt number of ripple tube is given as following equation: $$Nu=0.061Re^{0.75}Pr^{0.4}(Tb/Tw)^{0.5}$$ We can see that Nusselt number for ripple tube in this experiment is consistent with the theoretical one taken from Walkinson's equation at Reynolds number range from 8,000 to 20,000.

SG-365 steel is an important material and used for manufacturing a pressure vessel which the gas piping. In this investigation, the elastic plastic fracture toughness of this material is evaluated by the unloading compliance method according to the ASTM E813-97 and E1152-97 method on the smooth and side groove 1CT specimens. The effect of smooth and side groove is studied on the elastic plastic fracture toughness. The side grooved specimen is very useful in estimation of the $J_{IC}$. It is much easier than the smooth specimen to the onset of the ductile tearing by the R curve method. Besides, it improves the accuracy of toughness values, decreases a phenomenon of the tunneling and shear lip by the side groove.
