Purpose: This study was undertaken to evaluate the clinical and microbiological effects of an erythritol powder air-polishing device (EPAP) as a supplement to scaling and root planing (SRP) therapy in patients with moderate chronic periodontitis. Methods: Clinical and microbiological evaluations were performed at 21 sites treated with SRP (control) and 21 sites treated with SRP+EPAP (test). All examinations were performed before treatment, 1 month after treatment, and 3 months after treatment. Results: There were no significant clinical differences between the test group and the control group. Microbiological analysis revealed that the relative expression level of Porphyromonas gingivalis was significantly lower in the test group than in the control group at 1 month after treatment. Clinical and microbiological results showed improvements at 1 month compared to baseline; in contrast, the results at 3 months after treatment were worse than those at 1 month after treatment. Conclusions: In this study, both SRP and SRP+EPAP were clinically and microbiologically effective as non-surgical periodontal treatments. In particular, the SRP+EPAP group showed an antimicrobial effect on P. gingivalis, a keystone bacterium associated with the onset of chronic periodontitis, in a short-term period. Periodic periodontal therapy, at intervals of at least every 3 months, is important for sustaining the microbiological effects of this treatment.

This study was conducted to analyze problems related to non-water-soluble sanitary products during the treatment of water regeneration centers in E.T.F. and S.T.F. at a time when the demand and supply of non-water-soluble sanitary products are increasing. As a result, the improvement plan of the W.R.C. should focus on pretreatment facilities. When replacing facilities in the future, various dust removers suitable for the facility's reality will be installed in the pretreatment of S.T.F., and it is proposed to link a bar-racks screen with a comprehensive treatment device or install a comprehensive treatment device for impurities alone in the pretreatment of E.T.F.. In addition, a microscreen screen must be installed on the front end of the excretory treatment unit. to separate non-water-soluble materials, and it is necessary to secure a maintenance space for the excretory treatment unit.

A device to measure the temperature difference between the supernatant and the sediment blanket in the course of SV30 measurement in processing of activated sludge process. The temperature elevation in the sludge sediment represent the metabolic heat production by the microorganisms and can be an indicator for the capability of waste treatment. The utilities of the device for the analysis of activated sludge process were demonstrated in this report.

A patient with TMJ osteoarthritis and anterior open bite was treated with an intermaxillary traction device. Pretreatment examination revelaed a pain in both TMJ during mouth opening, moderate tendernesso f left sternocleidomastoid and right trapezius muscles. Anterior open Bite was aobserved with interincisal distance of 2mm. Tomograms and MRI showed anterior disc displacement withouit reductoin of both temporomandibular joints, and the condyles were flattened and slightly eroded. A pair of full-coverage occlusal appliances was made on both maxillary and mandibular dentition, with pivoting fulcrum on the site of the second moalr. Traction force was gained by the intermaxillary orthodontic elastics which were hooked by orthodontic brackets on the labial surfaces of the upper and lower anterior and premolar teeth. After 8 weeks of traction treatment, the joint pain was subsided completely and the anterior open bite was closed to get an edge to edge relationship of anterior teeth.

The aim of this study was to achieve the healing of peri-implantitis defects and the hard tissue regeneration using the augmentation of a xenograft on defect site. Two patients were treated with the surgical approach. With a full muco-periosteal flap elevation, the implant surfaces were exposed and taken the debridement of granulation tissue around the abutment. Each surface of the abutments was prepared with the air-abrasive device (PerioFlow$^{(R)}$) for decontamination. Bovine-derived bone mineral (Bio-Oss collagen$^{(R)}$) was then used to fill the defects, and no membrane was placed on the grafting site. Radiographs and clinical photo was taken to compare from baseline status. Within the limits of the present case, this case shows the significance of the surgical treatment of peri-implantitis. And this also verifies the stability of bovine-derived bone mineral and effectiveness of Air-abrasive device (PerioFlow$^{(R)}$).

The monitoring system for integrated management of on-site wastewater treatment plants(biofilter) was designed and its operation program was developed. In design process, the research on monitoring parameters which will be able to represent condition and operation of the pilot plants was accomplished, and these parameters came to reveal with ORP(Oxidation-Reduction Potential), water level, pump and power on/off. Proposed monitoring system is composed with measurement, control, communication and display device, and PCB(Prototype Circuit Boards) and microcontroller (PIC16F877) technique are applied to its design of control device for performing specific function. also, The operation program of PC setup is developed in order to provide a convenience to the manager.

In this paper, we extract interface trap density with treatment of gate dielectric of OTFT's. Interface trap densities in this paper were extracted from transfer curves. We obtained interface trap densities in pentacene / PVP interface Non-treated device has $1.4{\times}10^{12}cm^{-2}eV^{-1}$ Dit and treated device has $1.1{\times}10^{12}cm^{-2}eV^{-1}$ Dit.

Red color light emitting diodes (LEDs) were fabricated using CdSe/CdZnS quantum dots (QDs). During the device fabrication process, oxygen plasma treatment on the ITO surface was performed to improve the interfacial contact between ITO anode and the hole injection layer. CdSe/CdZnS quantum dots were cross-linked to remove their surrounded organic surfactants. The device shows red emission at 622 nm, which is consistent with the dimension of the QDs (band gap=1.99 eV). The luminance shows 6026% improvement compared with that of LEDs fabricated without oxygen plasma treatment and quantum dots cross-linking process. This approach would be useful for the fabrication of high-performance QLEDs with ITO electrode and PEDOT:PSS hole injection layers.

We successfully developed a-Si TFT controlled active matrix cathode (AMC) with gated Mo emitters. Also, we could remove emitter failures of the AMC through a novel surface treatment of Mo-tips, which indicates reduction of $MoO_3$ or chemical wet etching of $MoO_3$ by surface treatment. Transient behaviors of the AMC are strongly dependent on not only DC characteristics of device but also the device structure. Brightness and gray scale were well realized by low-voltage scan and data signals addressed to a-Si TFTs.
