The study attempted to use computed tomography images to determine the usefulness of the reduction in the axial reduction algorithm in the event of a metallic artifacts reduction in the image of the beam-hardening effect, which is known as the most effective method of reducing metallic artifact reduction in the image and the reduction of the metal produced in this study. As a result, the result is increased to 140 kVp to reduce the value of the CT value by 0.02 to 0.05 %, resulting in decreased axial effect (P > 0.05). The CT value decreased from 12.4 to 26.9 % when applied to the reduction of the metallic. 12.4 to 26.9 % (p<0.05). In addition, in the qualitative assessment by the clinical trial evaluation, it was assessed as 1.8 points after applying the MAR algorithm, In the resolution of resolution and contrast evaluations, the estimation of the decrease in metallic artifact effects was assessed as the metal was assessed to be scored 7.2 points after the MAR algorithm was evaluated. Therefore, in case of artifacts due to irreversible beam hardening effect, it is useful to reduce artifacts caused by beam hardening effect by using various methods derived from existing researches and scanning by applying the metal artifact reduction algorithm proposed in this experiment.

ENDF/B-VI 핵단면적자료를 기초로 생성된 BUGLE93$^{[1]}$ 라이브러리를 이용하여 울진 3.4호기 원자로 주변의 콘크리트 일차차폐벽에 대한 방사선차폐해석을 수행하였다. 중성자 및 감마선 수송계산은 일차원 각분할 해석코드인 ANISN-ORNL$^{[2]}$ 을 이용하였다. 또한, 기존의 영광 3.4호기 설계에 이용하였던 CASK$^{[3]}$ 라이브러리를 대체할 경우 예상되는 차폐효과의 변화를 평가하기 위하여 노심으로부터 일차차폐벽 사이의 모든 매질에 대한 중성자 및 감마선속을 계산하고. 계산결과를 비교.분석하여 제시하였다. 중성자선속에 대한 분석결과, BUGLE93을 이용한 계산결과는 원자로용기 내부에서는 CASK를 이용한 결과보다 적은, 보다 현실적인 결과를 제공하지만 일차차폐벽내에서는 CASK를 이용한 결과보다 오히려 큰 선속을 보였다. 그러나 이차감마선에 의한 분석결과는 원자로용기 내부에서의 큰 차이에도 불구하고 일차차폐벽을 통과하면서 두결과가 거의 일치하였다. 이것은 BUGLE93 라이브러리가 노심 및 철성분에 대해서는 증가된 핵단면적을 제공하지만 콘크리트 성분에 대한 핵단면적은 오히려 감소하였기 때문이다. 결론적으로. 최소 7피트 두께의 일차차폐벽 외부에서 중성자선속은 감마선속에 비하여 무시할 수 있을 정도이므로. 원자로 내부영역에서 CASK 라이브러리와는 다른 결과를 보이는 BUGLE93 라이브러리를 원자로 일차차폐벽의 방사선차폐해석에 사용할 경우 기존의 CASK 라이브러리를 이용한 해석결과와 동일한 결과를 보이는 것으로 평가되었다.

This study is to investigate the effects of the draw solution concentration on forward osmosis desalination performance using blended fertilizer as draw solution. As the concentration of blended fertilizer solution (draw solution) increased, the water permeate flux increased nearly linearly, but PR (performance ratio) was reduced. Using sea water and deionized water as the feed solution, respectively, at the blended fertilizer solution of 600 g/L $H_2O$, the PR obtained were 5.39 and 6.50, respectively. And as the concentration of blended fertilizer solution increased, the reverse solute flux for nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) increased nearly linearly, but specific reverse solute flux for them was reduced. The reverse solute flux and specific reverse solute flux became higher in the order of N > K > P.

The disc plate and frame type modules for reverse osmosis were developed using three different types of baffles: linear (Type 1), curved (Type 2) and parallel shapes (Type 3). Separation performance tests were carried out for the modules using NaCl and sucrose solutions under the various concentrations and operating pressures. The permeation flux and solute rejection ratio for Type 3 module were the highest within operating pressure (35bar) and flow rate (6 l/min). The flux improvement ratio of Type 2 or 3 to Type 1 for NaCl solution decreased as operating pressure increased: flux improvement ratios of Type 3 for 1wt% of NaCl solution were about 100 and 10% at 10 and 35bar, respectively. However, the flux improvement ratio for sucrose solutions varied with the operating pressure and concentration. The permeation flux for Type 3 depended on the flow rate linearly, which is higher than that of turbulent flow region in the smooth channel.

This study aim is occur in brain CT cause of beam hardening effect and reducing method, We will scan Bone opaque bead phantom on variation of image on the influence factor with equipment called 'Samatom Senation 16' with following listed herein : tube voltage, tube current, slice thickness, gantry angle, base line which affect beam-hardening effect. After that we are going to start Quantitative Analysis resulted in previous scanning and Qualitative Assessment with CT image sheet evaluation. result of quantitative analysis 140kVp $31.56{\pm}2.89HU$ on tube voltage, 150mA $-3.87{\pm}0.12HU$ on tube current, 3mm on slice thickness, and $13.31{\pm}1.03HU$ IOML on gantry angle which was the least beam-hardening effect. Like Qualitative Analysis, we went through Qualitative Assessment and most of valuers got a result of 140kVp on tube voltage, 150mA on tube current, 3mm on slice thickness. As before valuers evaluated gantry angle that scanned image from IOML or OML was the least beam-hardening effect occured. There are meaningful differences when we compare all theses factors statistically(P<0.05). therefore We consider that Minimizing artifact that caused by beam-hardening effect can provide better quality of image to deciphers and patients. if we rise tube voltage in permissible dose limit, set tube current in a limit that does not effect to image quality, use slice thickness too thin enough to harm resolution, use IOML or OML on gantry angle.

In view of the numerous discussions on global environmental issues, policies have been implemented to limit emissions in the field of marine transport, which accounts for a major part of international trade. In this study, a ship's emissions were calculated by applying the engine load factor to determine the total quantity of emissions based on the ship's speed reduction. For ships entering and leaving the Busan North Port from 1 January to 31 December 2017, emissions were calculated and analyzed based on the ship's type and its speed in the reduced speed zone (RSZ), which was set to 20 nautical miles. The comparison of the total amount of emissions under all situations, such as cruising, maneuvering, and hotelling modes revealed that the vessels that generated the most emissions were container ships at 76.1 %, general cargo ships at 7.2 %, and passenger ships at 6.8 %. In the cruising and maneuvering modes, general cargo ships discharged a lesser amount of emission in comparison with passenger ships; however, in the hotelling mode, the general cargo ships discharged a larger amount of emission than passenger ships. The total emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulphur oxides (SOx), particulate matter (PM), and volatile organic compounds (VOC), were 49.4 %, 45 %, 4 %, and 1.6 %, respectively. Furthermore, the amounts of emission were compared when ships navigated at their average service speed, 12, 10, and 8 knots in the RSZ, respectively. At 12 knots, the reduction in emissions was more than that of the ships navigating at their average service speed by 39 % in NOx, 40 % in VOC, 42 % in PM, and 38 % in Sox. At 10 knots, the emission reductions were 52 %, 54 %, 56 %, and 50 % in NOx, VOC, PM, and Sox, respectively. At 8 knots, the emission reductions were 62 %, 64 %, 67 %, and 59 % in NOx, VOC, PM, and Sox, respectively. As a result, the emissions were ef ectively reduced when there was a reduction in the ship's speed. Therefore, it is necessary to consider limiting the speed of ships entering and leaving the port to decrease the total quantity of emissions.

The primary focus of this study was to explore the variation in dose distributions of electron beams between different types of construction structure of cut-out blocks embodied in electron cones, given that the structure is considered one of the causes of multiple scattered radiation from electrons which may affect dose distributions. For evaluation, two types of cut-out blocks, divergency and straight, manufactured for this study, were compared in terms of area of interval in distribution of dose, and flatness and symmetric state of surface being radiated. The results showed that divergency cut-out blocks reduced the lateral scattering effects on the thickness of cut-out blocks more substantially than straight ones, leading to more uniform dose distribution at baseline depth. Notably in divergency cut-out blocks, the high dose area decreased more significantly, and more uniform dose distribution was observed at the edge of the irradiated field. This points to a need to consider the characteristics of dose distribution of electron beams when setting up radiotherapy planing at the venues. Therefore, this study is significant as an exploratory work for ensuring high accuracy in dose delivery for patients.

The shape of the net mouth in a midwater trawl gear is examined by measuring towing speed, gear resistance, the width of otter boards, net height, and so on of a full-scale gear in operation. In addition, a mathematical model is developed to predict shapes of the net mouth. In the model, shapes of head, ground, side ropes, which governs the shape of net mouth, are assumed as a catenary. The validity of the model is tested with observations. The results can be summarized as follows: 1. The warp tension and vertical opening of the gear is highly dependent to the towing speed. The depth of the gear and width of otter boards are very sensitive to the variations of the warp length. 2. The model results indicate that the wing tip of the head and side ropes is reduced and the vertical distances of the head and side ropes sagged to the back with increasing towing speed. 3. The results of comparing the measured net height with calculated side rope height were satisfying. 4. The results of analysis showed the vertical axis of the net mouth was decreased and the width of the net mouth was little changed when the towing speed increased.
