Statement of problem : The beauty has a little different meaning according to a time, culture, and nation. Purpose : This study was undertaken to determine the Korean perception of the altered upper anterior dental esthetics including the lack of symmetry, the midline deviation, the gingival exposure, the inclination of incisal plane, the type of incisal plane, and the type of gingival line. Material and Method : 670 subjects were participated in this survey. A questionnaire accompanied by 12 sets of computer-manipulated images using 3D MAX 4.2 software was used to record the ranking of the geometric preference related to the anterior esthetic discrepancies in three or four degrees of alteration. The statistical significance of the differences between the groups was determined by a one-way ANOVA and a t-test. Results : The results obtained were as follows: 1) The Korean perception of the anterior dental esthetics according to the subjects' occupation, sex, and age was most affected by occupation. 2) The masked image emphasizing the dentition and lips appeared stranger than the non-masked image at the same alteration. 3) The lack of symmetry, which was expressed as a unilateral discoloration of the tooth, showed incongruity in any teeth of the anterior dentition. The incongruity was more severe as the degree occurred closer to the midline. 4) The deviation of midline was showed more severe strangeness as the degree of deviation increased. However, more than half of the subjects did not perceive a deviation of 5mm. 5) During smiling, the exposure of the upper gingiva showed more severe incongruity as the degree of gingival exposure increased. 77% of the subjects perceived strangeness at the gingival exposure of 4.5mm. 6) The inclination of the incisal plane appeared stranger as the degree of inclination increased. 62% of subjects perceived strangeness at the $7.5^{\circ}$ inclination of the incisal plane. 7) The type of incisal plane showed increasing strangeness in the order of convex/downward, straight/horizontal, and concave/upward. 80% of subjects perceived strangeness at concave/upward. 8) The type of gingival line was showed increasing incongruity in the order of the same, a little above, and a little under the zenith of the lateral incisor to the line joining the zenith of the central incisor and the canine. However, less than half the subjects did not perceive strangeness at any alteration of the gingival line. Conclusion : The Korean perception of the upper anterior dental esthetics was different to the westerner's perception in the some respects.

Laser induced fluorescence spectra of OH produced from photodissociation of $H_2O_2$ at 280-290 nm in the gas phase have been observed. By analyzing the Doppler profiles, the anisotropy parameter($\beta$ =-0.7) and the center of mass translational energy of the fragments have been measured. The measured energy distribution is well described by an impulsive model. The excited state leading to dissociation is found to be of 1Au symmetry. The dissociation from this state is prompt and direct with the fragment OH rotating in the plane perpendicular to the O-O bond axis.

Some bounds for anisotropic torsional rigidity with one plane of elastic symmetry perpendicular to the axis of the beam are derived by making use of the isoperimetric inequalities, complementary variational principles, and the maximum principle. Upper and lower bounds are obtained by applying the isoperimetric inequalities. While the upper bound investigated by the variational principles and maximum principle. The analysis is patterned after the work of Payne and Weinbeger [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 2(1961). pp. 210-216].

It is explicitly shown that a supersymmetry structure exists in the spectrum of a rigid symmetric top rotor in the molecule-fixed frame. Using projection operators constructed from the time-reversal symmetry of the rotor, the full rotor Hamiltonian is separated into two parts, i.e., the bosonic and fermionic components. The construction, without ambiguity, suggests that the rotor has a supersymmetry in it. This supersymmetry is mathematically equivalent to that of the free rotor on a plane recently noted by Rau.

Reaction of tetrahomodioxa p-phenylcalix[4]arene with alkyl halide and NaH in DMF leads to the title tetra-alkylated derivatives, 7,13,21,27-tetra-phenyl-29,30,31,32-tetraalkyloxy-2,3,16,17-tetrahomo-3,17-dioxacalix [4]arenes, their preferred conformations were determined by NMR spectra as C-1,2-alternate. The molecular structure of allyl derivative has been solved by X-ray diffraction methods. The molecules have a conformation with pseudo center of symmetry. The benzene ring A is up, ring C is down, B and D rings are flat with respect to the plane of the macrocyclic ring.

Wood, laminates, reinforced concrete, and some special types of metals systems with controlled grain orientation are often orthotropic and at least rectilinearly anisotropic from point to point, if regarded as homogeneous media. Orthotropic bodies where a crack is not associated with a plane of elastic symmetry may be conveniently treated as a crack problem in a generally anisotropic body. At this work, approach for the determination of the stress intensity factors (SIF) of anisotropic body using crack tip singular elements is presented. Caculated values are in good agreement with the others.

This paper presents the thermoelastic analysis and 3-D failure analysis of the carbon/carbon brake disk. The mechanical properties of the carbon/carbon brake disk were measured for both in-plane and out of plane directions. The mechanical properties were used as the input of the thermoelastic analysis and 3-D stress analysis for the brake disk. The gap between rotor clip and clip retainer was an important parameter in the loading transfer mechanism of the rotor. The change of gap was considered separating the mechanical deformation and thermal deformation. Because the rotor clip and clip retainers were not contacted, the clip retainers and rivets were excluded from the rotor analysis model. The disk was modeled by using the cyclic symmetry condition and the contact problem between the rotor disk and rotor clip was considered. From the results of the 3-D stress analysis, the stress concentration at the key hole of the brake disk was confirmed.

In this study. a numerical analysis has been performed for the turbulent flow around a 15,000TEU twin-skeg container ship using a commercial CFD code. FLUENT. The computed results have been compared with the model test data from MOERI. We investigated viscous resistance coefficient. wake distribution and characteristics of the shear flow according to the grid numbers. Although the free surface is approximated by the plane of symmetry in this work. the calculated axial velocity and transverse vector show a good agreement with the MOERI experimental data except for the region of 0.9 level of axial velocity at the propeller plane. The numerical analysis show that commercial CFD code is useful tool for the evaluation of complex hull form with twin-skegs.

The contrasting behaviour of meso-and d,l-$D_3$-trishomocubylidene-$D_3$-trishomocubane (1 and 2) in the electrophilic addition reaction, the former giving rearranged spiro compound (1a and 1b) and the latter giving 1,2-adduct (2a and 2b), has been explained as arising from the secondary steric effects based on computational evidence. As the degree of out-of-plane deformation of the olefinic carbon atoms increases with reaction progress, the resulting internal congestion in the region behind the double bond becomes unbearably large in meso-1. The absence of symmetry plane across the double bond of d,l-2 helps for the closing fragments to adjust themselves.

We fabricated Ni and Ni alloy substrates for YBCO coated conductors. The Ni and Ni alloy substrate was fabricated by powder metallurgy technique and cold rolling. The texture of substrates had a strong 4-fold symmetry and ［111］∥ND texture after annealing temperature of 100$0^{\circ}C$. The measured full-width half-maximum (FWHM) of in-plane and out-of-plane was in the range of 6$^{\circ}$-10$^{\circ}$. The powder metallurgy technique is fabrication of the substrates for considered to be suitable for the application of YBCO coated conductors.
