스티칭 기법을 이용한 척추 전장 방사선검사 시, 분할된 3개의 영상을 합성하는 과정에서 중복되는 부분이 발생하기 때문에, 일부 해부학적 구조물이 반복되어 노출될 수 있어 방사선이 조사되는 범위가 증가하면 선량도 함께 증가한다고 생각되어 왔다. 하지만, 본 연구에서의 스티칭 기법을 이용한 전장 척추 검사에서는 동일한 3회 분할로 촬영이 이루어진다는 조건하에, 스티칭되는 범위가 늘어나면 중첩되는 부위는 오히려 감소하기 때문에, 중첩되는 범위에 포함되는 유방의 경우 스티칭 범위가 90 cm에서 105 cm로 증가함에 따라 선량 값이 절반 가까이 감소했다. 외이도와 골반강을 포함하는 적절히 긴 스티칭 범위를 설정하여 중첩되는 부위를 조절한다면 유방이 노출되는 선량 값을 줄여 환자의 피폭선량을 저감화하는 것에 기여할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Solar cell is a device that converts photon energy into electrical energy. Therefore, absorption of solar spectrum light is one of the most important characteristics to design the solar cell structures. Various methods have emerged to reduce optical losses, such as textured surfaces, back contact solar cells, anti-reflection layers. Here, the anti-reflection coating (ARC) layer is typically utilized whose refractive index value is between air (~1) and silicon (~4) such as SiN_x layer (~1.9). This research is to print a material called polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to form a double anti-reflection layer. Light with wavelength in the range of 0.3 to 1.2 micrometers does not share a wavelength with solar cells. It is confirmed that the refractive index of PDMS (~1.4) is an ARC layer which decreases the reflectance of light absorption region on typical p-type solar cells with SiN_x layer surface. Optimized PDMS printing with analyzing optical property for cell structure can be the effective way against outer effects by encapsulation.

격자의 구조가 간단하고 격자의 대조비가 낮은 SBC 시스템 구성을 위한 무편광 유전체 다층박막 회절격자를 제작하였다. 제작된 박막의 굴절률과 두께 오차로 인하여, 제작된 회절격자의 회절 효율은 설계보다 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 오차를 발생시킨 원인을 분석하고, 제작된 회절격자 위에 추가의 코팅을 통하여 회절 효율 보정이 가능함을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 확인하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 확인하기 위하여 제작된 회절격자 위에 Ta₂O₅ 추가층을 제작하고 회절격자를 측정한 결과 회절 효율 보상이 이루어졌으며, 최고 91.7%의 무편광 회절 효율을 얻었다.

This study proposes a new skull lateral examination, and provides an improved examination environment for patients and radiologists. The study was divided into three groups. One group was divided into the SID (source to image receptor distance) 110 ㎝ and 180 ㎝ in the skull lateral posture, the other group The other group was divided into an position in contact with the detector and an position without contact with the detector, and the other group was divided into male and female groups, considering that the difference in shoulder width between adult males and females would affect the dose and image quality. For dose evaluation, the ESD (entrance surface dose) was measured at the EAM (external auditory meatus), and the conditions were applied equally at 70 ㎸p, 200 ㎃, and 10 ㎃s. For image quality evaluation, SNR (signal to noise ratio) and CNR (contrast to noise ratio) were measured in frontal sinus, EAM, and sella turcica. As a result of ESD comparison, when sid 110 ㎝ to sid 180 ㎝ was changed among the three groups, ESD values decreased the most to 729.18±4.62 μ㏉ and 224.18±0.74 μ㏉ at 180 ㎝ (p<0.01). The values of SNR and CNR were statistically significant (p<0.01), but there was no qualitative difference. This shows that when the SID is 180 ㎝, it is possible to reduce the dose without lowering the image quality. So, It is suggested that the SID 180 ㎝ is used without contacting the detector when examining the skull lateral.

The long-term stability of PSCs against visual and UV light, moisture, electrical bias and high temperature is an important issue for commercialization. In particular, since the operation temperature of solar cell can rise above 85℃, a study on thermal stability is required. In this study, the cause of thermal-induced degradation of PSCs was investigated using the SCAPS-1D simulation tool. First, PSCs of TiO₂/CH₃NH₃PbI₃/Spiro-OMeTAD/Au structure were exposed to a constant temperature of 85℃ to observe changes in conversion efficiency and quantum efficiency. Because the EQE reduction above 500 nm was remarkable, we simulated PSCs performance as a function of lifetime, doping density of perovskite and spiro-OMeTAD. Consequently, the main cause of thermal-induced degradation is considered to be the change in the perovskite doping concentration and lifetime due to ion migration of perovskite.

본 연구는 유비쿼터스 환경에 적합한 교통정보 수집 체계로서 RFID 방식의 활용가능성을 확인하기 위해 프로브를 이용하는 방식 중 현재 많이 이용되고 있는 GPS 방식과 비교 분석하였다. 이를 위해 국내 교통정보 수집 체계를 검토한 후 RFID와 GPS 방식의 교통정보 생성 구간 설정, 교통정보의 정확도, 구축 및 유지 비용 등을 비교분석하였다. 교통정보 생성구간의 경우 RFID는 마스터 리더기를 기반으로 구축되는 반면 GPS 방식은 실제 노드를 기반으로 구축되어 GPS 방식이 더 현실성이 좋게 나타났다. 또한 정확도 역시 RFID 방식(MAPE 12%)보다 GPS 방식(MAPE 7%)이 약간 좋게 나타났으며, 10년 유지 시 비용을 분석한 결과 RFID방식이 GPS 방식에 비해 비용이 약간 적게 소요되는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과로 볼 때 RFID 방식이 GPS 방식보다 정확도 및 현실성이 약간 떨어지나 비용을 고려할 때 기존 교통정보 수집 체계를 대체할 수 있는 새로운 방식으로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Recently, demand for technology for energy economy and stable supply is increasing due to the increase in power demand of loads. The amount of DC power generation using new and renewable energy is noticeably increasing, and the use of DC power supplies is also increasing due to the increase in electric vehicles and digital loads. During parallel operation to increase the capacity of the power converter, the module bus method or the method using Can communication and serial communication has significant difficulties in smooth operation due to communication time delay for information sharing. Synchronization of information sharing of each power converter is essential for smooth parallel operation, and minimization of communication time delay is urgently needed as a way to overcome this problem. In this paper, a new communication method using pulse width information is proposed as a communication method specialized for parallel operation of power converters to compensate for the disadvantage of communication transmission delay in the existing system. The proposed communication method has the advantage of being easily implemented using the PWM and Capture function of the microcomputer. In addition, the DC/DC converter for DC distribution was verified through simulation and experiment, and it has the advantage of easy capacity expansion when applied to parallel operation of various types of power converters as well as DC/DC converters.

The present study concerns reduced order modeling of a marine diesel engine, which can be used for outlier detection in status monitoring and carbon intensity index calculation. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is introduced for the reduced order modeling, focusing on the feasibility of detecting and treating nonlinear variables. By cross-correlation, it is found that there are seven non-linear data channels among 23 data channels, i.e., fuel mode, exhaust gas temperature after the turbocharger, and cylinder coolant temperatures. The dataset is handled so that the mean is located at the nominal continuous rating. Polynomial presentation of the dataset is also applied to reflect the linearity between the engine speed and other channels. The first principal mode shows strong effects of linearity of the most data channels to show the linearity of the system. The non-linear variables are effectively explained by other modes. second mode concerns the temperature of the cylinder cooling water, which shows small correlation with other variables. The third and fourth modes correlates the fuel mode and turbocharger exhaust gas temperature, which have inferior linearity to other channels. PCA is proven to be applicable to data given in binary type of fuel mode selection, as well as numerical type data.

Perovskite solar cells have exhibited a remarkable increase in efficiency from an initial 3.8% to 26.1%, marking a significant advancement. However, challenges persist in the commercialization of perovskite solar cells due to their low stability with respect to humidity, light exposure, and temperature. Moreover, the instability of the organic charge transport layer underscores the need for exploring inorganic alternatives. In the manufacturing process of the perovskite solar cells' oxide charge transport layer, ultraviolet-ozone (UVO) treatment is commonly applied to enhance the wettability of the perovskite solution. The UVO treatment on metal oxides has proven effective in suppressing surface oxygen vacancies and removing surface organic contaminants. This study focused on the characterization of nickel oxide as the hole transport material in perovskite solar cells, specifically investigating the impact of UVO treatment on film properties. Through this analysis, changes induced by the UVO treatment were observed, and consequent alterations in the device characteristics were identified.

Passivating contacts are a promising technology for achieving high efficiency Si solar cells by reducing direct metal/Si contact. Among them, a polysilicon (poly-Si) based passivating contact solar cells achieve high passivation quality through a tunnel oxide (SiO_x) and poly-Si. In poly-Si/SiO_x based solar cells, the passivation quality depends on the amount of dopant in-diffused into the bulk-Si. Therefore, our study fabricated cells by inserting silicon oxide (SiO₂) as a doping barrier before doping and analyzed the barrier effect of SiO₂. In the experiments, p⁺ poly-Si was formed using spin on dopant (SOD) method, and samples ware fabricated by controlling formation conditions such as existence of doping barrier and poly-Si thickness. Completed samples were measured using quasi steady state photoconductance (QSSPC). Based on these results, it was confirmed that possibility of achieving high V_oc by inserting a doping barrier even with thin poly-Si. In conclusion, an improvement in implied V_oc of up to approximately 20 mV was achieved compared to results with thicker poly-Si results.
