Attenuation characteristics of AF/MA motions which involve high frequencies were investigated through pencil-lead fracture tests on a fine-grained granite specimen. For the study, calibrated six transducers were employed to detect the signals and the pencil-lead was fractured as a step unloading force to generate AE/MA signals. The arnplitude AE/MA waves is affected by the relative orientation of source and transducer as well as the source distance. The attenuation constant for Charcoal granite is obtained as 1.058 which could be applied for a given ray-path regardless of the relative orientation of source and transducer.

우리나라 면적의 약 67%에 이르는 660만ha의 산림 중 침엽수림은 혼효림을 포함하여 약 74%를 차지해 활엽수림보다 넓게 분포하고 있다. 이와 같이 넓은 산림은 가뭄, 홍수와 같은 수문현상과 관련이 있으며 강우에 따른 유출에의 기여하는 바가 클 뿐만 아니라 강우, 증발산, 침투 유출에 이르는 다양한 수문현상이 복합적으로 나타난다. 특히, 최근 임목밀도의 증가가 오히려 증발산량의 증가, 옆면에 의한 강우 차단량의 증가 등을 발생시켜 가뭄과 홍수 또는 산사태의 원인이 될 수 있으며, 수자원 함양을 저해하는 요소로 작용하고 있다는 우려의 목소리가 나오고 있다. 따라서 산림지역의 증발산과 관련 있는 토양수분의 지속적인 모니터링과 감쇄특성 및 토양수분 환경에 대한 연구는 중요한 요소 연구가 될 수 있다. 봄에서 여름으로 진행되는 시기에는 강우발생에 비해 수목의 생육이 활발하여 증발산에 따른 토양수분 변화 및 감소가 급격하게 일어나며, 여름에는 토양수분의 감소도 뚜렷한 반면, 강우사상도 많이 발생하여 이에 따른 변화폭이 크게 나타난다. 또한, 가을에서 겨울로 진행되는 시기에는 수목의 생육의 둔화와 기온 하강으로 인하여 토양수분 감쇄현상 및 변화가 적게 나타나 토양수분의 변화양상이 계절마다 다르게 나타난다. 이에 토양수분의 감쇄현상을 파악하면 곧 산림지역에서의 증발산량 및 토양수분 소비특성을 파악할 수 있기 때문에, 산림에서 실제 토양수분 모니터링과 이를 통한 시간별, 깊이별 토양수분 변화 및 감쇄현상을 파악하는 것은 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 침엽수 산림에서의 토층별 월별 토양수분의 감쇄특성을 분석하기 위하여 침엽수림에서 토양수분 장기 모니터링 시스템을 구축하여 시간별, 토층별 토양수분 모니터링을 실시하고, 이를 바탕으로 침엽수림에서의 토양수분 감쇄현상을 분석하였다. 또한 토양수분 데이터 및 기상자료를 활용하여 월별, 기간별 토양수분 감쇄곡선을 산정하고 감쇄상수를 비교하였으며, 감쇄특성에 대하여 비교 분석하였다.

The magnetization dynamics was investigated by solving possible origins of overdamped susceptibility observed in ultra-soft magnetic amorphous thin films. The experimental high frequency spectrum and computational spectrum calculated from Gilbert's equation of motion were compared in order to find proper damping factor $\alpha{\approx}20$ and demagnetizing coefficients $D_{x}{\approx}D_{y}{\approx}D_{z}{\approx}0$ for ultra-soft magnetic films. A magnetization vortex mode was, then, proposed to explain the origin of the reversible susceptibility and other anomalies of the ultra-soft magnetic heterogeneous thin films. In this mode it is suggested that there occur, within the nanoscale structural features of the ultra-soft films, incoherent rotational spin motions that are highly damped by the energy transfer from short wavelength spin wave modes and local defect structure mode interactions.

The solutions are expressed in terms of a double integral transformation over wavenumber and frequency. The complete solution is considered in such a full wave theory approach. This method can handle a larger number of plane layers. Therefore, the result of FK method is very similar to real data. Using the models that were modified in velocity and Q value with depth by iterative process from a model (Kang and Park, 2006) and considered as one of the best models in Korean Peninsula, the synthetic data are simulated for explosions and earthquakes of North Korea. This study notes that the wave shape of the synthetic data is very dependent on Q value, velocities, and thickness of sedimentary layers. Comparing between the real and the synthetic, fitting well in arrival time of first arrival and wave shape causes us to arrive at an indication that the model is very close representation of upper crustal structure and simulations are well done in amplitude fitting and in identification of phases of local and regional waves.

PET는 다른 nuclear imaging system(SPECT등)과는 달리 기계적 collimator가 필요없이 전자적 collimation을 할 수 있고 이런 collimation역할로 인하여 SPECT보다 감도(sensitivity)가 좋고 또한 전체 영상영역에 걸쳐 해상도와 감도가 균일하며 감쇄상수의 보정이 쉽다. 기존 X선 CT나 NMR-CT에 비해 해상도와 신호대 잡음비가 떨어짐에도 불구하고 PET 시스템 독특한 장점은 영상 자체가 단순한 영상을 재현하는 것이 아니라 인체내의 생태학적 또는 생리학적인 변화에 대한 정량적 분석이 가능하다는데 있다. 즉, $^{11}$ C, $^{13}$N, $^{15}$ O, $^{18}$ F와 같은 물질은 인체내에 생리적현상과 매우 밀접한 관계를 가지고 있어 이들 물질의 분포나 변화를 제공하는 것은 다른 의료 영상기기와 뚜렷이 구별되는 점이라 할 수 있다. 따라서 앞으로 분해 능력이 2-3mm의 PET시스템의 개발은 임상은 물론 의료연구용으로 매우 유용할 것이며 종래의 NMR과 X선 CT 와는 다른 보완적인 정보를 제공하는 영상시스템으로써 의료산업계의 발전에 크게 기여를 할 것이라고 본다.

To provide a quantitative parameter of evaluating diagnosis of the liver diseases accurately, the ultrasonic attenuation coefficient was estimated from liver phantoms, 15 normal human livers and 30 liver disease patients. Two kind of phantoms(No.1: 1552m/s, No.2: 1562m/s) which have velocity (1560m/s) similar to that in human liver were constructed and their ultrasonic attenuation coefficients were determined. In this paper the spectral-shift approach and spectral-difference approach were used for estimating ultrasonic attenuation coefficient, \ulcornerdB/Cm.MHz). These two approaches were utilized to esitmate for 15 normal humans without any liver disease and 30 liver disease patients. The results indicate that the two types of phantoms produce the value of near the suggested value of 0.5 and the attenuation coefficients of hepatoma, normal liver, corrhosis, fatty liver and hepatitis show decreasing value in order named, suggesting that the present study can be of clinical value incorrelating the estimated attenuation coefficidents with the liver diseases.

In this study, the coefficients of ultrasound attenuation for human liver were determined in 6 normal humans and in 38 patients with diffuse liver disease. The coefficients with linear frequency dependency as well as nonlinear frequency dependency were evaluated. Gaussian pulse propagating in a lossy medium suffers downshifting of a center frequency and decreasing in the bandwidth. Such changes in frequency domain spectrum were quantified in terms of changes in the attenuation coefficients with nonlinear dependency, which in turn improve clinical Implications of the coefficients. Statistical analysis shows that the attenuation coefficients evaluated with nonlinear dependency reflect an improved accuracy for the diffuse liver disease than those with linear dependency. The discriminant analysis also indicate the improved classification with nonlinear dependency(75%) than with linear dependency(61%).

We analyze the parametric amplification by the nonlinear characteristics in a semiconductor laser using a perturbation theory and discuss its result. The parametric gain increases with increase of the pump modulation current. It is due to shift of the resonance frequency as the pump modulation current increases. However, it decreases with increase of the bias current and damping constant. Also, it needs phase matching between the pump modulation current and signal modulation current to maximize the parametric gain. The gain decreases for a large signal modulation current due to the saturation of the amplified power. power.

Recently, transport parameters of conservative solutes such as KCl in a porous medium have been successfully determined using time domain reflectometry (TDR) . This study was initiated to Investigate the applicability of TDR technique to monitoring the fate of a heavy metal ion in a sandy soil and the distribution of its concentration along travel distance with time. A column test was conducted in a laboratory that consists of monitoring both resident and flux concentrations of $ZnCl_2$in a sandy soil under a breakthrough condition. A tracer of $ZnCl_2$(10 g/L) was injected onto the top surface of the sample as pulse type as soon as a steady-state condition was achieved. Time-series measurements of resistance and electrical conductivity were performed at 10 cm and 20 cm of distances from the inlet boundary by horizontal-positioning of parallel TDR metallic rods and using an EC-meter for the effluent exiting the bottom boundary respectively. In addition. Zn ions of the effluent were analyzed by ICP-AES. Since the mode and position of concentration detected by TDR and effluent were different, comparison between ICP analysis and TDR-detected concentration was made by predicting flux concentration using CDE model accommodating a decay constant with the transport parameters obtained from the resident concentrations. The experimental results showed that the resident concentration resulted in earlier and higher peak than the flux concentration obtained by EC-meter, implying the homogeneity of the packed sandy soil. A close agreement was found between the predicted from the transport parameters obtained by TDR and the measured $ZnCl_2$concentration. This indicates that TDR technique can also be applied to monitoring heavy metal concentrations in the soil once that a decay constant is obtained for a given soil.
