Purpose: This study aimed to develop a surface-guided radiosurgery system customized for a neurosurgery clinic that could be used as an auxiliary system for improving the accuracy, monitoring the movements of patients while performing hypofractionated radiosurgery, and minimizing the geometric misses. Methods: RGB-D cameras were installed in the treatment room and a monitoring system was constructed to perform a three-dimensional (3D) scan of the body surface of the patient and to express it as a point cloud. This could be used to confirm the exact position of the body of the patient and monitor their movements during radiosurgery. The image from the system was matched with the computed tomography (CT) image, and the positional accuracy was compared and analyzed in relation to the existing system to evaluate the accuracy of the setup. Results: The user interface was configured to register the patient and display the setup image to position the setup location by matching the 3D points on the body of the patient with the CT image. The error rate for the position difference was within 1-mm distance (min, -0.21 mm; max, 0.63 mm). Compared with the existing system, the differences were found to be as follows: x=0.08 mm, y=0.13 mm, and z=0.26 mm. Conclusions: We developed a surface-guided repositioning and monitoring system that can be customized and applied in a radiation surgery environment with an existing linear accelerator. It was confirmed that this system could be easily applied for accurate patient repositioning and inter-treatment motion monitoring.

The aim is to urge the need of elaborate commissioning of 3D RTP system from the firsthand experience. A 3D RTP system requires so much data such as beam data and patient data. Most data of radiation beam are directly transferred from a 3D dose scanning system, and some other data are input by editing. In the process inputting parameters and/or data, no error should occur. For RTP system using algorithm-bas ed-on beam-modeling, careless beam-data processing could also cause the treatment error. Beam data of 3 different qualities of photon from two linear accelerators, patient data and calculated results were commissioned. For PDD, the doses by Clarkson, convolution, superposition and fast superposition methods at 10 cm for 10${\times}$10 cm field, 100 cm SSD were compared with the measured. An error in the SCD for one quality was input by the service engineer. Whole SCD defined by a physicist is SAD plus d$\sub$max/, the value was just SAD. That resulted in increase of MU by 100${\times}$((1_d$\sub$max//SAD)$^2$-1)%. For 10${\times}$10 cm open field, 1 m SSD and at 10 cm depth in uniform medium of relative electron density (RED) 1, PDDs for 4 algorithms of dose calculation, Clarkson, convolution, superposition and fast-superposition, were compared with the measured. The calculated PDD were similar to the measured. For 10${\times}$10 cm open field, 1 m SSD and at 10 cm depth with 5 cm thick inhomogeneity of RED 0.2 under 2 cm thick RED 1 medium, PDDs for 4 algorithms were compared. PDDs ranged from 72.2% to 77.0% for 4 MV X-ray and from 90.9% to 95.6% for 6 MV X-ray. PDDs were of maximum for convolution and of minimum for superposition. For 15${\times}$15 cm symmetric wedged field, wedge factor was not constant for calculation mode, even though same geometry. The reason is that their wedge factor is considering beam hardness and ray path. Their definition requires their users to change the concept of wedge factor. RTP user should elaborately review beam data and calculation algorithm in commissioning.

A chemical reaction occurring in CSTR (Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor) is significantly affected by the concentration, temperature, pressure, and reacting time of materials, and thus it has strong nonlinear and time-varying characteristics. Also, when an existing linear PID controller with fixed gain is used, the performance could deteriorate or could be unstable if the system parameters change due to the change in the operating point of CSTR. In this study, a technique for the design of a fuzzy PD plus I controller was proposed for the temperature control of a CSTR process. In the fuzzy PD plus I controller, a linear integral controller was added to a fuzzy PD controller in parallel, and the steady-state performance could be improved based on this. For the fuzzy membership function, a Gaussian type was used; for the fuzzy inference, the Max-Min method of Mamdani was used; and for the defuzzification, the center of gravity method was used. In addition, the saturation state of the actuator was also considered during controller design. The validity of the proposed method was examined by comparing the set-point tracking performance and the robustness to the parameter change with those of an adaptive controller and a nonlinear proportional-integral-differential controller.

In this paper, we present a multi-period 0-1 knapsack problem which has the cardinality constraints. Theoretically, the presented problem can be regarded as an extension of the multi-period 0-1 knapsack problem. In the multi-period 0-1 knapsack problem, there are n jobs to be performed during m periods. Each job has the execution time and its completion gives profit. All the n jobs are partitioned into m periods, and the jobs belong to i-th period may be performed not later than in the i-th period, i = 1, ${\cdots}$, m. The total production time for periods from 1 to i is given by $b_i$ for each i = 1, ${\cdots}$, m, and the objective is to maximize the total profit. In the extended problem, we can select a specified number of jobs from each of periods associated with the corresponding cardinality constraints. As the extended problem is NP-hard, the branch and bound method is preferable to solve it, and therefore it is important to have efficient procedures for solving its linear programming relaxed problem. So we intensively explore the LP relaxed problem and suggest a polynomial time algorithm. We first decompose the LP relaxed problem into m subproblems associated with each cardinality constraints. Then we identify some new properties based on the parametric analysis. Finally by exploiting the special structure of the LP relaxed problem, we develop an efficient algorithm for the LP relaxed problem. The developed algorithm has a worst case computational complexity of order max[$O(n^2logn)$, $O(mn^2)$] where m is the number of periods and n is the total number of jobs. We illustrate a numerical example.

Background: CT based brachytherapy allows 3-dimensional (3D) assessment of organs at risk (OAR) doses with dose volume histograms (DVHs). The purpose of this study was to compare computed tomography (CT) based volumetric calculations and International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements (ICRU) reference-point estimates of radiation doses to the bladder and rectum in patients with carcinoma of the cervix treated with high-dose-rate (HDR) intracavitary brachytherapy (ICBT). Materials and Methods: Between March 2011 and May 2012, 20 patients were treated with 55 fractions of brachytherapy using tandem and ovoids and underwent post-implant CT scans. The external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) dose was 48.6Gy in 27 fractions. HDR brachytherapy was delivered to a dose of 21 Gy in three fractions. The ICRU bladder and rectum point doses along with 4 additional rectal points were recorded. The maximum dose ($D_{Max}$) to rectum was the highest recorded dose at one of these five points. Using the HDRplus 2.6 brachyhtherapy treatment planning system, the bladder and rectum were retrospectively contoured on the 55 CT datasets. The DVHs for rectum and bladder were calculated and the minimum doses to the highest irradiated 2cc area of rectum and bladder were recorded ($D_{2cc}$) for all individual fractions. The mean $D_{2cc}$ of rectum was compared to the means of ICRU rectal point and rectal $D_{Max}$ using the Student's t-test. The mean $D_{2cc}$ of bladder was compared with the mean ICRU bladder point using the same statistical test. The total dose, combining EBRT and HDR brachytherapy, were biologically normalized to the conventional 2 Gy/fraction using the linear-quadratic model. (${\alpha}/{\beta}$ value of 10 Gy for target, 3 Gy for organs at risk). Results: The total prescribed dose was $77.5Gy{\alpha}/{\beta}10$. The mean dose to the rectum was $4.58{\pm}1.22Gy$ for $D_{2cc}$, $3.76{\pm}0.65Gy$ at $D_{ICRU}$ and $4.75{\pm}1.01Gy$ at $D_{Max}$. The mean rectal $D_{2cc}$ dose differed significantly from the mean dose calculated at the ICRU reference point (p<0.005); the mean difference was 0.82 Gy (0.48-1.19Gy). The mean EQD2 was $68.52{\pm}7.24Gy_{{\alpha}/{\beta}3}$ for $D_{2cc}$, $61.71{\pm}2.77Gy_{{\alpha}/{\beta}3}$ at $D_{ICRU}$ and $69.24{\pm}6.02Gy_{{\alpha}/{\beta}3}$ at $D_{Max}$. The mean ratio of $D_{2cc}$ rectum to $D_{ICRU}$ rectum was 1.25 and the mean ratio of $D_{2cc}$ rectum to $D_{Max}$ rectum was 0.98 for all individual fractions. The mean dose to the bladder was $6.00{\pm}1.90Gy$ for $D_{2cc}$ and $5.10{\pm}2.03Gy$ at $D_{ICRU}$. However, the mean $D_{2cc}$ dose did not differ significantly from the mean dose calculated at the ICRU reference point (p=0.307); the mean difference was 0.90 Gy (0.49-1.25Gy). The mean EQD2 was $81.85{\pm}13.03Gy_{{\alpha}/{\beta}3}$ for $D_{2cc}$ and $74.11{\pm}19.39Gy_{{\alpha}/{\beta}3}$ at $D_{ICRU}$. The mean ratio of $D_{2cc}$ bladder to $D_{ICRU}$ bladder was 1.24. In the majority of applications, the maximum dose point was not the ICRU point. On average, the rectum received 77% and bladder received 92% of the prescribed dose. Conclusions: OARs doses assessed by DVH criteria were higher than ICRU point doses. Our data suggest that the estimated dose to the ICRU bladder point may be a reasonable surrogate for the $D_{2cc}$ and rectal $D_{Max}$ for $D_{2cc}$. However, the dose to the ICRU rectal point does not appear to be a reasonable surrogate for the $D_{2cc}$.

국내 궤도 흙노반재료의 선정기준은 기초물성 값(입경, 200번체 통과량($P_{200}$), 4번체 통과량($P_4$), 균등계수($C_u$), 곡률계수($C_c$)등)을 이용하는 통일분류법에 의존하고 있으며, 선정된 궤도노반의 현장 다짐도는 들밀도 시험 및 반복평판재하시험 결과 $E_{v2}$에 의해 파악한다. 그러나 궤도노반의 변형 및 안정성에 미치는 가장 큰 영향요소는 강성(Stiffness)이므로, 노반재료의 분류특성은 기초물성 값 자체 보다는 다짐 후 변형계수를 활용하는 것이 보다 정확하다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 궤도노반에 사용되는 국내 대표적인 흙 재료의 기초물성과 현장시험에 의한 변형계수($E_{v2}$, $E_{vd}$)와의 상관식을 도출하였다. 이와 같은 상관특성은 성능설계를 위한 국내 고유의 철도궤도용 전용흙분류기준수립을 위한 근거로 사용될 수 있다.

Taguchi method is one of the most popular approaches for design optimization such that performance characteristics become robust to uncontrollable noise variables. However, most previous Taguchi method applications have addressed a single-characteristic problem. Problems with multiple characteristics are more common in practice. The multi-criteria decision making(MCDM) problem is to select the optimal one among multiple alternatives by integrating a number of criteria that may conflict with each other. Representative MCDM methods include TOPSIS(Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution), GRA(Grey Relational Analysis), PCA(Principal Component Analysis), fuzzy logic system, and so on. Therefore, numerous approaches have been conducted to deal with the multi-characteristic design problem by combining original Taguchi method and MCDM methods. In the MCDM problem, multiple criteria generally have different measurement units, which means that there may be a large difference in the physical value of the criteria and ultimately makes it difficult to integrate the measurements for the criteria. Therefore, the normalization technique is usually utilized to convert different units of criteria into one identical unit. There are four normalization techniques commonly used in MCDM problems, including vector normalization, linear scale transformation(max-min, max, or sum). However, the normalization techniques have several shortcomings and do not adequately incorporate the practical matters. For example, if certain alternative has maximum value of data for certain criterion, this alternative is considered as the solution in original process. However, if the maximum value of data does not satisfy the required degree of fulfillment of designer or customer, the alternative may not be considered as the solution. To solve this problem, this paper employs the desirability function that has been proposed in our previous research. The desirability function uses upper limit and lower limit in normalization process. The threshold points for establishing upper or lower limits let us know what degree of fulfillment of designer or customer is. This paper proposes a new design optimization technique for multi-characteristic design problem by integrating the Taguchi method and our desirability functions. Finally, the proposed technique is able to obtain the optimal solution that is robust to multi-characteristic performances.

콩은 논 대표적인 밭작물로써 온도, 수분, 토양과 같은 환경 조건에 민감하기 때문에 재배 시 포장 관리가 매우 중요하다. 작물 상태를 비파괴적, 비접촉적 방법으로 측정할 수 있는 분광 기술을 활용한다면 작황 예측, 작물 스트레스 및 병충해 판별 등 생육 진단 및 처방을 통해 품질과 수확량을 높일 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 회전익 무인기에 탑재된 다중분광 센서를 이용하여 시험 포장에서 콩 생육 추정 모델 개발하고 재현성을 확인하기 위해 농가 포장에 검증을 수행하였다. 분광 데이터로 산출된 정규화 식생지수(NDVI, GNDVI), 단순비 식생지수(RRVI, GRVI)와 콩 생육 데이터(생체중, LAI)를 선형회귀분석을 실시하여 모델을 개발하였으며 괴산에 위치한 농가포장에서 검증을 실시하였다. 그 결과 생체중의 경우 정규화 식생지수를 이용 시 포화되기 때문에 단순비 식생지수 GRVI를 이용한 모델의 성능이 가장 높았다(R²=0.74, RMSE=246 g/m², RE=34.2%). 괴산 농가 포장에 생체중 모델 검증 결과 RMSE=392 g/m², RE=32%로 나타났으며 작부 체계별 나누어 검증 결과 단작 포장과 이모작 포장 생체중 모델은 RMSE=315 g/m², RE=26% 및 RMSE=381 g/m², RE=31%로 나타났다. 작부 체계별 포장과 적산온도가 유사한 연도별 시험 포장(2018+2020년, 2019년)을 나누어 생체중 모델 개발한 결과 단년도(2019년)의 성능이 높게 나타났다. 작부 체계별 적산온도가 유사한 검증과 기존 검증 간 비교 결과 단작 포장은 RMSE 및 RE를 기준으로 각각 29.1%와 34.3%로 개선되었으나 이모작 포장은 -19.6%, -31.3%로 저하되었다. 적산온도 이외의 환경 요인, 분광 및 생육 데이터 추가 시 다양한 환경 조건에서 재배되는 콩 생육을 추정 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

비선형 공정을 퍼지 모델링 하는 것은 전체 입력의 공간 분할 및 퍼지 추론 방법에 따른 퍼지 추론 시스템의 입출력 특성을 분석하는 것이 필요하다. 이를 위해, 퍼지 모델은 입력 변수와 퍼지 입력 공간 분할 및 후반부 다항식 함수에 의한 구조 및 파라미터를 동정함으로서 표현된다. 퍼지 규칙의 전반부에서 입력 데이터의 최소 값과 최대 값을 이용하는 최소-최대 방법 및 입력 데이터를 군집으로 형성하는 C-Means 클러스터링 알고리즘이 퍼지 모델의 동정을 위해 사용되고, 소속 함수는 삼각형, 범종형, 사다리꼴형 소속함수를 사용한다. 퍼지 규칙의 후반부 동정에서 퍼지 추론은 간략 및 선형 추론과 같은 두 가지 형태를 수행한다. 각 규칙의 후반부 파라미터들, 즉 다항식의 계수들의 동정은 표준 최소자승법에 의해 수행된다. 마지막으로, 비선형 공정으로는 널리 이용되는 가스로 데이터를 이용하여 시스템 특성 및 성능을 평가한다.
