중력류는 두 유체 사이에서 물질의 종류 또는 온도차로 인한 밀도 차이에 의해 발생되는 유체의 흐름을 말하며, 자연환경에서는 저수지에서의 중층탁류, 사막에서의 모래 폭풍, 하구에서의 염수쐐기 등이 그 예이다. 여름철에 강우가 집중되는 우리나라는 홍수에 의한 범람, 침수 등이 발생할 뿐만 아니라 댐이나 하천, 호수 등에 흙탕물이 유입되어 중간층에 정체하는 중층탁류에 의한 피해가 자주 발생하고 있다. 과거에 중층탁류는 일시적인 현상에 불과하였으나 오늘날에는 인공적으로 형성된 정체성 호수나 하천에서 장기간 체류하여 생태계의 교란과 수질 악화를 초래하고 있다. 중층탁류에 의한 피해를 저감시키기 위해서는 본래 자연 상태의 하천이나 호수와 같이 온도분포가 비선형적으로 성층화 된 상태에서 탁수가 유입되어 중층탁류가 형성되는 과정과 흐름 특성을 이해하는 것이 선행되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 중력류 흐름 해석을 위한 실험 장치를 개발하였다. 실험 장치 중 수조의 제원은 1200 $700{\times}300mm$이며, 수조 상부에는 가열장치를 설치하였고, 수조 하부에는 냉각장치를 설치하였다. 이들 장치들을 가동하여 깊이에 따른 자연현상에서의 비선형적인 온도 단면을 재현한다. 수리 실험방법은 깊이 방향으로 온도에 따라 비선형적으로 성층화 된 유체 내로 경사가 있는 판을 따라 수조내의 성층화된 유체의 중간 온도 혹은 밀도를 가진 유체를 침입시킨다. 침입유체는 성층화된 유체 내에서 초기에는 중력에 의해 운동량을 갖고 경사면을 따라 일정한 속도로 흘러내려 간다. 이후 바닥으로 하강 한 후 부력에 의해 상승하여 동일한 밀도층의 위치에서 횡방향으로 전파하게 된다. 이 연구에서는 이와 같이 비선형적으로 성층화된 유체 내에서의 침입 중력류의 흐름 특성을 실험적으로 관측하고 분석한다.

Software for GafChromic EBT2 film dosimetry was developed in this study. The software provides film calibration functions based on color channels, which are categorized depending on the colors red, green, blue, and gray. Evaluations of the correction effects for light scattering of a flat-bed scanner and thickness differences of the active layer are available. Dosimetric results from EBT2 films can be compared with those from the treatment planning system ECLIPSE or the two-dimensional ionization chamber array MatriXX. Dose verification using EBT2 films is implemented by carrying out the following procedures: file import, noise filtering, background correction and active layer correction, dose calculation, and evaluation. The relative and absolute background corrections are selectively applied. The calibration results and fitting equation for the sensitometric curve are exported to files. After two different types of dose matrixes are aligned through the interpolation of spatial pixel spacing, interactive translation, and rotation, profiles and isodose curves are compared. In addition, the gamma index and gamma histogram are analyzed according to the determined criteria of distance-to-agreement and dose difference. The performance evaluations were achieved by dose verification in the $60^{\circ}$-enhanced dynamic wedged field and intensity-modulated (IM) beams for prostate cancer. All pass ratios for the two types of tests showed more than 99% in the evaluation, and a gamma histogram with 3 mm and 3% criteria was used. The software was developed for use in routine periodic quality assurance and complex IM beam verification. It can also be used as a dedicated radiochromic film software tool for analyzing dose distribution.

목적 : 방사선치료기술이 날로 발전함에 따라 방사선치료계획시스템에 대한 주기적인 정도관리의 필요성은 증대하고 있으나, 국내 실정에 적합한 표준화된 정도관리절차서가 없는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 방사선치료계획용 시스템에 대한 정도관리용 고체팬톰을 제작하여 주기적인 정도관리 활용 및 절차서를 제시하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 : 체윤곽 보정을 위한 삼각기둥 모형 (30cm$\times$30cm$\times$5cm, 30cm$\times$15cm$\times$5$\times$) 및 정형ㆍ부정형, 불균질 측정이 가능한 물등가고체팬톰을 제작하였고, 컴퓨터단층촬영(AcQsim)을 통해 영상을 얻었으며, RTPS(AcQplan)에 입력하여 영상 내 기준점에서의 선량값을 계산하였다. RTPS를 통해 계산된 값의 평가를 위해 동일한 조건하에서 각 기준점에 대한 실제 측정을 이온함을 이용하여 측정하였다. 평가 항목으로는 정방형 조사면, 부정형 조사면, 쐐기 조사면, 불균질 물질 보정, 사방향 조사 등에 대해서 알고리즘별로 수행하였다. 결과 : RTPS를 이용하여 계산된 값과 실제 측정한 값을 비교하여 RTPS의 정확성을 평가한 결과로 합성의 불확도 허용 기준 (3%), 선속 중심축 상에서의 허용 기준 (2%) 등, 선진 각국 및 각 학회에서 권고하고 있는 허용 범위 내에서 잘 일치하였다. 결론 : RTPS는 측정된 심부선량과 선량분포 등 물리적인 인자에 의존하는 제한성이 있고, 실제로 선량계산 알고리즘과 기하학적 변화에 따라 계산값과 측정값 간에 차이가 발생할 수 있었다. 실제 인체의 체윤곽 불균일성과 불균질성을 모사한 팬톰을 제작하여 이용함으로써 다양한 RTPS간의 비교를 통한 치료 선량의 정확성을 평가하고, 방사선 치료의 원활하고 정확한 수행을 위해 실용적이고, 보편적인 치료계획 시스템의 정도관리 방법과 절차서를 수립하는데에 유용할 것으로 사료된다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the seventh curriculum textbooks and teacher's guides of high school science courses in relation to the generation (mechanism) of magma in subduction boundary and find the incorrect descriptions of the texts and the figures (illustrations) and then suggest some improved schemes. According to the result there are many discrepancies in definition of 'magma' among the textbooks and further little scientific explanations about the formation mechanism of magma in most textbooks, and even no descriptions about that. In addition, the figures are inconsistent with the description of the text and also have some incorrect depiction which might contribute to the forming and reinforcing misconceptions about Plate Tectonics as well as a volcanic activity in subduction boundary. On the basis of the previous researches, therefore, some improved schemes (text descriptions and figures) are suggested. The results of this study should be used as a reference for publishing science textbook, developing science curriculum, and teaching effectively in the high school.

태양전지의 효율을 증가시키기 위해서는 표면에서의 Fresnel 반사를 줄여 입사된 빛이 흡수층까지 잘 도달되도록 해야 한다. 그러나 결정질 실리콘의 경우, 굴절률이 높아 32% 이상의 표면반사율을 보이고 있어, 실리콘 태양전지 표면에 단일 또는 다중 박막의 무반사 코팅을 통해 반사율을 낮추는 방법이 널리 사용 되어 오고 있었다. 하지만, 이와 같은 코팅 방법은 열적팽창 불일치, 물질 선택의 어려움뿐만 아니라 낮은 반사율을 포함하는 파장 및 빛의 입사각 영역의 제한 등 여러 문제점을 지니고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 보완하기 위해, 표면에 서브파장의 주기를 갖는 나노구조(subwavelength structure, SWS)의 형성에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 습식 식각보다 건식 식각을 이용한 SWS 제작 방법이 표면 profile을 제어하기 용이하나 패턴 형성을 위해 식각 마스크가 필요하다. 최근, 복잡하고 고가의 전자빔 또는 나노임프린트를 이용한 패턴 형성보다, 간단/저렴하며 대면적 제작이 용이한 금속 나노입자 마스크를 이용한 SWS의 제작에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 또한 SWS의 무반사 특성은 표면 profile에 따라 크게 영향을 받는다. 따라서 본 실험에서는 열적 응집현상에 의해 형성되는 self-assembled Pt 나노입자 식각 마스크 및 $SiCl_4$가스를 사용한 유도결합 플라즈마(inductively coupled plasma, ICP) 장비를 이용하여 무반사 실리콘 SWS를 제작하였으며, SWS 표면 profile에 따른 구조적 및 무반사 특성을 조사하기 위해 다양한 공정조건을 변화시켰다. 실리콘 기판 위의 Pt 박막은 전자빔 증착(e-beaml evaporation)법을 사용하였고, 급속 열처리(RTA)를 통해 Pt 나노입자의 식각 마스크를 형성시켰다. Pt 나노입자들의 패턴 및 제작된 무반사 실리콘 SWS의 식각 profile은 scanning electron microscope를 사용하여 관찰하였으며, UV-VIR-NIR spectrophotometer를 사용하여 350~1050 nm 파장 영역에서의 반사율을 측정하였다. ICP 식각 조건을 변화시켜 5% 이하의 낮은 반사율을 갖는 높이가 높고 쐐기 형태의 실리콘 SWS를 도출하였다.

Saemangeum salt-water Lake has been created by the completion of the sea-dike in April 2006. To monitor the water qualities of the lake during the sea-dike construction, salinity, SS, nutrients(DIN, DIP, DISi), and chlorophyll-$\alpha$ was analyzed for the surface water from 1999 to 2007. Due to the dike construction, weaker tidal current and lesser resuspension of bottom sediment resulted in the marked decrease of the concentrations of SS in the lake water. Consequently the clearer lake water has provided better condition for primary production with deeper penetration of sunlight into the water column and sufficient nutrient content in the water. Finally the chlorophyll-$\alpha$ content became approximately double in the concentration after the dike construction. Highly stimulated algal production with the marked decrease of the concentrations of SS was decreased the concentration of DIP in the surface water. On the other hand the concentration of DIN and DISi in surface water was increased after dike construction due to the expansion of the freshwater and the supply from bottom layer. As a result, the lake revealed an extremely high NIP ratio and a DIP-limited ecosystem. The lake has been transformed from a typical coastal ecosystem to a brackish one. Since the dike completion, the lake has shown a similar change pattern to the Geum River estuary. Due to the salt-wedge intrusion of seawater, it is highly probable to expect the formation of low-oxygen zone at the bottom layer near the river-mouth area of the lake during the summer. Therefore we need a continuous sentinel monitoring of bottom water qualities in the near future.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the dose comparison using Radon phantom with 5 mm and 10 mm tissue equivalent materials, FIF, Wedge(15, 30 angle) and IMRT, to reduce the skin dose of the contralateral breast during breast cancer radiation therapy(Total dose: 50.4Gy). The dose was measured for each treatment plan by attaching to the 8 point of the contralateral breast of the treated region using a optical-stimulated luminance dosimeter(OSLD) as a comparative dose evaluation method. Of the OSLD used in the study, 10 were used with reproducibility within 3%. As a result, the average reduction rates of 5 mm and 10 mm in the FIF treatment plan were 37.23 cGy and 41.77 cGy, respectively, and the average reduction rates in the treatment plan using Wedge $15^{\circ}$ were 70.69 cGy and 87.57 cGy, respectively. The IMRT showed a reduction of 67.37 cGy and 83.17 cGy, respectively. The results of using bolus showed that as the thickness of the bolus increased in all treatments, the dose reduction increased. We concluded that mastectomy as well as general radiotherapy for breast cancer would be very effective for patients who are more likely to be exposed to scattered radiation due to a more demanding or complex treatment plan.

The periodic Quality Assurance (QA) of each radiation treatment related equipments is important one, but quality assurance of the radiation treatment planning system (RTPS) is still not sufficient rather than other related equipments in clinics. Therefore, this study will present and test the periodic QA program to compare, evaluation the efficiency of the treatment planning systems. This QA program is divided to terms for the input, output devices and dosimetric data and categorized to the weekly, monthly, yearly and non-periodically with respect to the job time, frequency of error, priority of importance. CT images of the water equivalent solid phantom with a heterogeneity condition are input into the RTPS to proceed the test. The actual measurement data are obtained by using the ion chamber for the 6 MV, 10 MV photon beam, then compared a calculation data with a measurement data to evaluate the accuracy of the RTPS. Most of results for the accuracy of geometry and beam data are agreed within the error criteria which is recommended from the various advanced country and related societies. This result can be applied to the periodic QA program to improve the treatment outcome as a proper model in Korea and used to evaluate the accuracy of the RTPS.

It has been well-known that the Fe/GaAs heterostructure has a small lattice mismatch of 1.4% between Fe and GaAs, and the Fe layer is grown epitaxially on the the GaAs substrate. There are rich physics are observed in the GaAs/Fe interface, and the spininjection is actively studied due to its potential applications for spintronics devices. We fabricated Fe wedge layer in the thickness range $0{\sim}3.4$ nm on the GaAs(100) surface with 5-nm thick Au capping layer. The magnetic anisotropy of the Fe/GaAs system was investigated by employing Brillouin light scattering(BLS) measurements in this study. The spin wave excitation of Fe layer was studied as the function of intensity and the in-plane angle of external magnetic field, and thickness of Fe layer. Also these various dependences were analyzed with analytic expression of spin wave surface mode in order to determine the magnetic anisotropies. It has been found that the GaAs/Fe/Au system has additional uniaxial magnetic anisotropy, while the bulk Fe has biaxial anisotropy. The uniaxial anisotropy shows increasing dependency respected to decreasing thickness of Fe layer while biaxial anisotropy is reduced with Fe film thickness. This result allows the analysis that the uniaxial anisotropy is originated from interface between GaAs surface and Fe layer.

The subject of this study is the Maae Buddha statue in granodiorite of the Mesozoic Cretaceous period, which is concerned about stability as a standing stone cultural property located in ◯◯-dong, Gyeongsangbuk-do. For stability analysis, three-dimensional face mapping, geological properties of joints, three-dimensional scanning, ultrasonic velocity, polarization microscopy, electron microscopy analysis and XRD analysis were performed. In addition, the safety factor of the Maaebul was calculated by analyzing the damage status investigation, stereographic projection analysis, rock classification, and limit equilibrium analysis. The types and scales of damage and possible collapse by section depend on the degree of weathering of the rock and the orientation and characteristics of the joints, but wedge-failure and toppling-failure are expected to be small-scale. The safety factor of Maaebul in dry and wet conditions is less than 1.2, so stability is concerned. The types of damage were mainly observed, such as exfoliation, cracking, granular decomposition, and vegetation growth. The Maaebul rock is granodiorite, and the surface discoloration materials are K, Fe, and Mg. The 4 sets of joints are developed, J1 is tensile joint and the others are shear joint. The uniaxial compressive strength estimated by ultrasonic exploration is 514kgf/cm2, which corresponds to most soft rocks and some weathered rocks. Rock classification(RMR) is estimated to be grade 5, very poor rock mass. These technique along with the existing methods of safety diagnosis of cultural properties are expected to be a reasonable tool for objective interpretation and stability review of stone cultural properties.
