본 연구는 기초기술연구회의 위성정보 활용 지원 운영사업(과제명: 위성영상을 이용한 하천정보 생산 및 활용에 관한 연구)의 연구비 지원에 의해 수행되었습니다. 지난 2010년 6월 발사된 천리안 위성이 약 9개월간의 정지궤도 시험운행을 마치고 본격적으로 위성자료 서비스를 시작함에 따라 한반도 악기상 관측 및 예측 정확도 향상에 기여할 것으로 예상된다. 최근 기후분야 외에도 수자원, 방재, 농업, 해양 등 다양한 응용분야에서 기상위성을 활용하고자 하는 연구가 수행되고 있으며 자료제공 시간의 단축과 기상자료 산출물의 제공으로 천리안 위성은 향후 광범위하게 활용 될 것으로 예상된다. 본 연구는 천리안 위성의 수자원 분야 활용을 위한 기반연구로 천리안 위성과 동일한 채널 특성을 보유한 MTSAT-1R 기상위성을 이용하여 면적강우량을 추정하고 이를 지상관측소를 이용하는 강우보정기법에 적용하며 강우산정 결과를 레이더 및 티센, 크리깅 등과 비교하였다. 강우추정은 NOAA NESDIS의 Power-law 공식을 이용하였으며 지상관측소를 이용한 강우보정은 조건부 합성기법을 적용하였다. 연구대상 유역은 충주댐 유역과 충주댐 유역 상류에 위치한 영월수위표 지점 상류유역을 대상으로 하였으며 레이더 차폐에 따른 레이더 강우량의 감쇄 효과를 분석하고 지형적 특성에 영향 받지 않는 기상위성을 이용한 강우량 산정 기법의 활용성을 제시하였다. 연구결과 레이더 차폐에 영향 받지 않는 영월 수위표 상류유역의 경우 레이더를 이용한 강우량 산정결과와 기상위성을 이용한 결과가 큰 차이가 없으나 전체 유역면적의 절반 정도가 레이더 차폐 지역에 포함되는 충주댐 유역의 경우 레이더를 이용할 경우 20%~35% 가량 강우량이 과소 추정되는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 토대로 산악지형에 의해 레이더 차폐가 발생되는 유역에 대해 기상위성의 활용을 기대할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.

Fast and accurate new capacitance determination methodology for non-uniform complicated multi-layer VLSI interconnects is presented. Since a capacitance determination of intricate multi-layer interconnects using 3-dimensional field-solver is not practical, quasi-3-dimensional methodology is presented. Interconnects with discontinuity (i.e., bend structure and different spacing between lines, etc.) are partitioned. Then, each partial capacitance of divided parts is extracted by using 2-dimensional extraction methodology. For a multi-layer interconnects with shielding layer, the system can be simplified by investigating a distribution of charge in it. Thereby, quasi-3-dimensional capacitance for multi-layer interconnects can be determined by combining solid-ground based 2-dimensional capacitance and shielding effect which is independently determined with layout dimensions. This methodology for complicated multi-layer interconnects is more accurate and cost-efficient than conventional 3-dimensional methodology It is shown that the quasi-3-dimensional capacitance methodology has excellent agreement with 3-dimensional field- solver-based results within 5% error.

In this paper the magnetic field properties of the soft magnetic alloys (Fe-Si-Cr and Fe-Ni-Cr) are studied in advance for the development of electro-magnetic shielding films, which could be used in the IT Devices (NFC, mobile phone, computer, etc.).As a result each of the selected soft magnetic alloy melts of the corresponding compositions is water-dispersed into the disk-shaped grains, which are soaked in polymer resin, and of which two types of thin film of thickness 0.1mm and 1mm are made by passing through the heating calendar roller. And the magnetic permeability and the shielding effectiveness of the polymer films containing the soft magnetic alloy grains are measured over the whole frequency bands from the low frequency to 10GHz. Before the experiments of the soft magnetic alloy, a special equation is proposed to estimate the permeability of the alloy, and the equation is verified with the pre-published data by MATLAB, and from which the most optimal compositions can be decided. And the SE(Shielding Effectiveness) of the polymer films containing the soft magnetic alloy grains is simulated by the HFSS.

The decommissioning of nuclear power plants is generally executed in five steps, including preparation, decontamination, cutting/demolition, waste disposal and environmental restoration. So, for efficient decommissioning of nuclear power plants, worker safety, effects compared to cost, minimization of waste, possibility of reuse, etc., shall be considered. Worker safety and measurement technology shall be secured to exert optimal efficiency of nuclear power plant decommissioning work, for which accurate measurement technology for systems and devices is necessary. Typical In-Situ methods for decommissioning of nuclear plants are CZT, Gamma Camera and ISOCS. This study used ISOCS, which can be applied during the decommissioning of a nuclear power plant site without collecting representative samples, to take measurements of the S/G Water Chamber. To validate the measurement values, Microshield and the GEANT4 code was used as the actual method were used for modeling, respectively. The comparison showed a difference of $1.0{\times}10^1Bq$, which indicates that it will be possible to reduce errors due to the influence of radiation in the natural environment and the precision of modeling. Based on the research results of this paper, accuracy and reliability of measurement values will be analyzed and the applicability of the direct measurement method during the decommissioning of NPPs will be assessed.

Wireless communication in an urban area, the accurate prediction of wave propagation characteristics are very important to determine communication service areas, select optimal base-stations, and design cells, etc. The CCIR model is a propagation prediction model using a shadowing by the buildings in an urban area. This model represent the shadowing rate by the means of the effect of shadowing between base-station and mobile unit in a shaped linear plane. But, This one occurred a lot of prediction error because it did not consider that density area by the buildings and terrain configurations by the hill and mountain on Line-Of-Sight. In this thesis, an improved propagation prediction model is proposed to reduce prediction error. We presents a new equation, which is using the SAS. This equation is associated with the shadow height by the buildings that considers the topology and the number of blocks that can affect the building shadow in the Line-Of-Sight. We measure the received electrical field level of base-station that high density area, medium density area, and low density area, and then compare and analysis the result to prediction of CCIR model and proposed model. The result compared with the measurement, the proposed model has the improvement of 9.71dB in a high density area, 9.66dB in a medium density area, and 4.02dB in a low density area better than the CCIR model. The result compared with the measurement, the proposed model has the improvement of 9.71dB in a high density area, 9.66dB in a medium density area, and 4.02dB in a low density area better than the CCIR model.

치과 진료시 파로라마 장치를 이용한 검사에서 유리선량계를 사용하여 피검자의 피폭선량을 측정하였다. 수정체의 피폭선량 영향을 평가하기 위하여 안경의 재질에 따라 수정체의 피폭선량을 측정하였다. 치아위치별 피폭선량 측정결과 82.4-2,340${\mu}Sv$ 선량분포로 나타나 최대 300% 이상의 피폭선량 차이를 보였다. 따라서 효과적이고 정확한 진단과 피폭선량 관리를 위해서는 장치제조시 예열시간 단축 과차폐등의 조치가 필요할 것으로 생각된다. 안경을 착용하였을 때 착용하지 않았을 때 비하여 수정체의 피폭선량이 안경의 재질에 따라서 1회 검사 시 20-75${\mu}Sv$ 증가되는 것으로 측정되었다. 그러므로 피폭 선량을 최소화하고 효율적인 검사를 위해 치과 파노라마 검사시 안경을 벗고 검사할 것을 권고 한다.

The current load combination criteria for design of nuclear power plant structures(NPP) are not based on the probability-based design concept but rely on the conventional design concept. In this paper, a load combination criteria for design of NPP containment structures are proposed based on a FEM-based random vibration analysis. More accurate reliability analyses under various dynamic loads such as earthquake loads were made possible by incorporating the FEM and random vibration theory, which is different from the conventional reliability analysis method, In this paper, the toad factors for the design of NPP structures in Korea are proposed by considering appropriate load combination criteria for design.

Brain perfusion CT scanning is often employed usefully in clinical conditions as it accurately and promptly provides information about the perfusion state of patients having acute ischemic stroke with a lot of time constraints and allows them to receive proper treatment. Despite those strengths of it, it also has a serious weakness that Lens may be exposed to a lot of dose of radiation in it. In this study, as a way to reduce the dose of radiation to Lens in brain perfusion CT scanning, this researcher conducted an experiment with Bismuth shielding and change of patients' position. TLD (TLD-100) was placed on both lens using the phantom (PBU-50), and then, in total 4 positions, parallel to IOML, parallel to IOML (Bismuth shielding), parallel to SOML, and parallel to SOML (Bismuth shielding), brain perfusion scanning was done 5 times for each position, and dose to Lens were measured. Also, to examine how the picture quality changed in different positions, 4 areas of interest were designated in 4 spots, and then, CT number and noise changes were measured and compared. According to the results of conducting one-way ANOVA on the doses measured, as the significance probability was found to be 0.000, so there was difference found in the doses of radiation to crystalline lenses. According to the results of Duncan's post-hoc test, with the scanning of being parallel to IOML as the reference, the reduction of 89.16% and 89.66% was observed in the scanning of being parallel to SOML and that of being parallel to SOML (Bismuth shielding) respectively, so the doses to Lens reduced significantly. Next, in the scanning of being parallel to IOML (Bismuth shielding), the reduction of 37.12% was found. According to the results, reduction in the doses of radiation was found the most significantly both in the scanning of being parallel to SOML and that of being parallel to SOML (Bismuth shielding). With the limit of the equivalent dose to Lens as the reference, this researcher conducted comparison with the dose to occupational exposure and dose to Public exposure in the scanning of being parallel to IOML and found 39.47% and 394.73% respectively; however in the scanning of being parallel to SOML (Bismuth shielding), considerable reduction was found as 4.08% and 40.8% respectively. According to the results of evaluation on picture quality, every image was found to meet the evaluative standards of phantom scanning in terms of the measurement of CT numbers and noise. In conclusion, it would be the most useful way to reduce the dose of radiation to Lens to use shields in brain perfusion CT scanning and adjust patients' position so that their lens will not be in the field of radiation.
