Maxillary anterior teeth were intruded and lingually root torqued with two maxillary anterior microimplants between the lateral incisors and canines. Overerupted maxillary canines were intruded with two other microimplants between the maxillary canines and first premolars. Maxillary posterior teeth and canines were distalized, then the maxillary incisors were retracted with two maxillary posterior microimplants between the first and second molars. The mandibular anterior teeth were intruded and the mandibular posterior teeth were extruded with conventional method such as anterior bite plane, intrusion arch and Class II elastics. The mandible moved slightly forward after the correction of deep bite and retroclination of the upper incisors. Consequently, microimplant anchorage (MIA) provided absolute anchorage for simultaneous correction of Class II canine and molar relationships and deep overbite.

This paper proposes an improved steganalysis method based on image categorization. In general, most steganalysis methods extract the statistical moments based features which contain the global natures of images regardless of their inherent characteristics. However, the steganalysis method based on the statistical moments leads to degraded performance by applying to images with different complexity. In this paper, we decompose an 8-bit image into an upper 4-bit plane and a lower 4-bit plane, and categorize the image with two classes according to the correlation coefficient between decomposed sub-images. Two independent steganalyses can be performed for the categorized images. Since our method uses independent steganalysis technique according to the image category, it can reduce the drawback of the steganalysis methods utilizing the statistical moments. The performance of the proposed scheme is compared with well-known four steganalysis methods. Experiment results show that the proposed scheme has higher detection rate than previous methods.

The experiment were carried out to obtain a somatic hybrid through protoplast fusion between P.hybrid and N. sanderae. The isoenzyme pattern he chromosome number and the phonotype were observed for genetic study on the regenerants obtained from the fusion product cultures. Putative somatic hybrids possessed all the bands that appeared in both mother plane. A specific band was found on the top of the banding pattern which was assumed to be a marker band of somatic hybrid between two genera. Aspartate amninotransferase isoenzyme bands which were found in both mother plane were also revealed in the putative somatic hybrids or deleted in the upper part of H. sanderae band pattern. The chromosome number of P.hybrida was 2n=14, while N, sanderae was 2n=18,but the number of the putative somatic hybrids ranged from n=32 to 36. The phonotype of putative somatic hybrids was intermediate of the mother plants.

The numerical analyses for three different shafts in geometry of high buildings were carried out by using computational fluid dynamics model (FDS ver.5.3) for the calculation of the pressure difference and the location of the neutral plane and the visualization of stack effect. At 10 seconds of stack effect, the pressure difference of stack effect in the elevator shaft (79.3 Pa) almost corresponded to the theoretical value (78 Pa). At 300 seconds of stack effect, all the neutral planes of three cases were located about 49 m above floor, where was 5 m higher than the theoretical value. The maximum pressure difference between upper and lower position of shaft decreased with increasing of the geometrical complexity of shaft. This study showed that there was the difference of the stack effects among the geometries of shafts with the visualization of stack effect.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of methods of establishing the midsagittal reference plane (MRP) on the locations of midfacial landmarks in the three-dimensional computed tomography (CT) analysis of facial asymmetry. Materials and Methods: A total of 24 patients (12 male and 12 female; mean age, 22.5 years; age range, 18.2-29.7 years) with facial asymmetry were included in this study. The MRP was established using two different methods on each patient's CT image. The x-coordinates of four midfacial landmarks (the menton, nasion, upper incisor, and lower incisor) were obtained by measuring the distance and direction of the landmarks from the MRP, and the two methods were compared statistically. The direction of deviation and the severity of asymmetry found using each method were also compared. Results: The x-coordinates of the four anatomic landmarks all showed a statistically significant difference between the two methods of establishing the MRP. For the nasion and lower incisor, six patients (25.0%) showed a change in the direction of deviation. The severity of asymmetry also changed in 16 patients (66.7%). Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that the locations of midfacial landmarks change significantly according to the method used to establish the MRP.

The influence due to metallic particle contaminated on spacer surface is remarkable in the decreasing of dielectric strength in $SF_6$ GIS. In relation with this problem, We studied, AC flash-over voltage characteristics and breakdown mechanism are investigated under metallic particle initiated condition in $SF_6$ gas by varying the particle position, particle shape with a plane-plane electrode. The main results arc as follows 1. The small amount of the metallic particle in the gap do not make flash-over voltage to be influence, but the significant decrease of th flash-overed voltage is result in case of the big and long size of the metallic paraticle. 2. Influence of the flash-over voltage are lowest in the mid and are highest in the electrode of metallic particle position. 3. In case of the initiated metallie particle, The more the pressure are high, the more the recluced ratio of flash-over voltage are high. 4. The metallic particle shape which results in the reduced flash-over voltage forced the critical pressure to move in to the region of low pressure. 5. The existance of the metallic particle on the upper electrode side and high pressure make the decreasing ratio of flash-over voltage bigger than that of the ground side electrode.

A planar monopole antenna that was developed for WLAN/WiMAX application is presented in this paper. The proposed antenna with three strips, an asymmetrical ground plane, and a rectangular slit in the ground is designed to cover the popular frequency spectrum of WLAN (wireless local area network) bands and WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) bands. The proposed antenna, which is capable of wideband operation, is fed by a strip line and fabricated on an FR-4 substrate. The obtained numerical results agree well with the experiment data. It was validated that the configuration can meet the demands for the WLAN/WiMAX systems and effectively enhanced the impedance bandwidth to 9.95% for the lower band and 76.05% for the upper band for VSWR < 1 : 2. This paper also presents and discusses the 2D radiation patterns and 3D gains according to the results of the experiment.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to determine the incidence, location, and orientation of maxillary sinus septa in formalin embalmed cadavers. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on 210 cadaveric heads available in our department. After taking the mid-sagittal section the specimens were opened from the medial aspect and the sinus sinus septa, their anatomical plane, location and dimensions. Results: The mean linear distance between maxillary sinus floor and its anatomical ostium was $26.76{\pm}5.21mm$ and $26.91{\pm}4.96mm$ on right and left side, respectively. A total of 59 maxillary sinus septa (28.1%) were observed in 210 maxillary specimens. Septae were most common, 33 septa (55.9%), in the middle region (between first and second molar tooth) of the sinus cavity. The maxillary sinus membrane (Schneiderian membrane) adhered tightly to the maxillary sinus and over the septae. Significantly more maxillary sinus septa were observed in edentulous maxillae in comparison to the dentate upper jaw. Conclusion: Knowledge of location of maxillary sinus ostium is mandatory for the rhinologist for drainage of secretions in maxillary sinusitis. The morphological details of maxillary sinus septa, particularly their location and anatomical planes, will guide dentists in performance of safe implant surgeries. The maxillary antrum septa of category I and II may complicate the procedure of inversion of bone plate and elevation of sinus membrane during maxillary augmentation surgeries. The category III septa observed in the sagittal plane were embedded by one of the branches of the infraorbital nerve in it, and if accidentally cut will lead to infraorbital nerve palsy in maxillary sinus surgeries.

Magnetism at the interfaces of rocksalt structured half-metals, NaN and CaN were investigated by use of the first-principles band calculations. The electronic structures for the simple interface and mixed interface systems were calculated by the FLAPW (full-potential linearized augmented plane wave) method. From the calculated number of electrons in muffin-tin spheres of each atom, we found, for the simple interface system, that the magnetic moment of the N atom in the CaN (NaN) side is increased (decreased) compared to those of inner N atoms. For the mixed interface system, the magnetic moments of the interface N atoms are similar to the averaged value for the inner N atoms in CaN and NaN side. Among four interface N atoms, the N atom connected to Na atoms in the upper and down layers has the largest magnetic moment and that connected to Ca atoms has the smallest. The number of p electrons in each N atom and the calculated density of states explain well the above situation.

In this paper, I seek the chromatic number, the maximum number of colors necessary when adjoining vertices in the plane separated apart at the distance of 1 shall receive distinct colors. The upper limit of the chromatic number has been widely accepted as $4{\leq}{\chi}(G){\leq}7$ to which Hadwiger-Nelson proposed ${\chi}(G){\leq}7$ and Soifer ${\chi}(G){\leq}9$ I firstly propose an algorithm that obtains the minimum necessary chromatic number and show that ${\chi}(G)=3$ is attainable by determining the chromatic number for Hadwiger-Nelson's hexagonal graph. The proposed algorithm obtains a chromatic number of ${\chi}(G)=4$ assuming a Hadwiger-Nelson's hexagonal graph of 12 adjoining vertices, and again ${\chi}(G)=4$ for Soifer's square graph of 8 adjoining vertices. assert. Based on the results as such that this algorithm suggests the maximum chromatic number of a planar graph is ${\chi}(G)=4$ using simple assigned rule of polynomial time complexity to color for a vertex with minimum degree.
