The use of error compensation techniques has been recognized as an effective way in the improvement of the accuracy of a machine tool. The laser measurement method for identifying position errors of machine tool has the disadvantages such as high cost, long calibration time and usage of volumetric error synthesis model. Accordingly, this paper deals with analysis of the position errors of a machine tool using ball bar test without using complicated error synthesis model. Statistical analysis method was adopted in this paper for deriving position errors using hemispherical helix ball bar test.

Machine tool errors have to be characterized and predicted to improve machine tool accuracy. A real-time error compensation system has been developed based on volumetric error synthesis model which is composed of machine tool errors. This paper deals with new algorithm about verification of machine tool errors. This new algorithm uses a simplified volumetric error synthesis model. This simplified model is constructed with only main components among the error components of the machine. The main error components are analyzed by ball bar test of hemispherical helix. The novel measurement method using ball bar system has many advantages which are more efficient, easier to use than conventional measurement system.

Machining accuracy is affected by quasi-static errors of machining center. Since machine errors have a direct influence upon both the surface finish and geometric shape of the finished workpiece, it is very important to measure the machine errors and to compensate these errors. The laser measurement method for identifying geometric errors of machine tool has the disadvantages such as high cost, long calibration time and usage of volumetric error synthesis model. Accordingly, this paper deals with analysis of the geometric errors of a machine tool using ball bar test without using complicated error synthesis model. Statistical analysis method was adopted in this paper for deriving geometric errors using hemispherical helix ball bar test. As a result of experiment, geometric errors of the vertical machining center are compensated by 88%.

The wetland has very important functions in hydrologic and ecological aspects and the research of wetland functions requires the basic hydrological properties such as water quantity. However, we do not have a research work on the hydrological properties for a wetland study in Korea. Therefore, this study is to estimate the relations between the volume(V), the area(A), and the depth(h) of water in the wetland which might be the basis for the wetland research in Korea. To estimate the relations, we derive the basic equations, obtain the surveyed data and do modelling, and estimate the relations of A-h and V-h using the Surfer program. The estimated and observed volumes for 5-wetland are compared and the errors are in the range of 2 % to 11 % for 4-wetland and 34 % for the rest. The wetlands in small errors showed the similar ones with the profile of the wetted perimeter which is assumed for the derivation of the equation but the wetland of large error has much different profile with the assumed one. We re-estimate the volumes for 3-wetland(W3, W4, W5) which showed the large errors due to the bended profiles of the wetland slopes. say, after the slopes was divided into two parts of upper and lower ones, the volumes were estimated. From our re-estimation, we obtained very good results ranged from 1 % to 8 % in their errors. We conjecture that the procedure suggested in this study might be useful as a reference for the future research on the relations of V-A-h in Korea.

Correct target volume delineation is an important part of radiosurgery treatment planning process. We designed head phantom and performed target delineation to evaluate the volume differences due to radiosurgery treatment planning systems and image acquisition system, CT/MR. Delineated mean target volume from CT scan images was $2.23{\pm}0.08cm^3$ on BrainSCAN (NOVALS), $2.13{\pm}0.07cm^3$ on Leksell gamma plan (Gamma Knife) and $2.24{\pm}0.10cm^3$ on Multi plan (Cyber Knife). For MR images, $2.08{\pm}0.06cm^3$ on BrainSCAN, $1.94{\pm}0.05cm^3$ on Leksell gamma plan and $2.15{\pm}0.06cm^3$ on Multi plan. As a result, Differences of delineated mean target volume due to radiotherapy planning system was 3% to 6%. And overall mean target volume from CT scan images was 6.36% larger than those of MR scan images.

Ultrasonic nonlinear evaluation is generally utilized for detection of not only defects but also microdamage such as corrosion and plastic deformation. Nonlinearity is determined by the amplitude ratio of primary wave second harmonic wave, and the results of its comparison are used for evaluation. Owing to the experimental features, the experimental nonlinearity result contains system nonlinearity and material nonlinearity. System nonlinearity is that which is unwanted by the user; hence, it acts as an error and interrupts analysis. In this study, a bulk wave mixing technique is implemented in order to minimize the system nonlinearity and obtain the reliable analysis results. The biggest advantage of this technique is that experimental nonlinearity contains less system nonlinearity than that for the conventional nonlinear ultrasonic technique. Theoretical and experimental verifications are performed in this study. By comparing the results of the bulk wave mixing technique with those of the conventional technique, the strengths, weaknesses, and application validity of the bulk wave mixing technique are determined.

고전 천수방정식을 적용한 2차원 도시홍수 모델링에서는 지형의 정확한 반영을 위해 고해상도 격자가 요구되며 이는 많은 계산시간과 노력을 필요로 한다. 최근에는 다공성 천수방정식을 적용한 도시홍수해석으로 많은 계산 노력이 요구되는 도시홍수모델링의 한계를 극복한 연구가 많이 이루어지지고 있다. 이러한 연구는 도시 홍수에서 흐름이 공간적으로 변화할 때 불균일 공극이 존재하므로 격자의 크기를 다르게 하여 이러한 불균일성을 해결하고자 하는 등방성 천수모형의 적용에서 시작되었다. 하지만, 등방성 공극을 고려한 도시홍수 해석모형은 대표요소체적(REV)보다 더 큰 격자의 적용을 해야 하는 제한성을 가진다. 반면, 비등방성 공극은 대표요소체적의 적용이 필요하지 않아 불균일 공극의 크기에 관계없이 이론상으로는 동일한 해상도의 격자가 사용가능하긴 하지만, 실제 도시홍수 해석에서 중요하면서도 도전적인 연구이다. 본 연구에서는 도시홍수의 효율적 계산을 위해 비등방성 공극을 고려한 적분형 다공성 천수방정식을 기반으로 하는 2차원 도시홍수 해석모형을 개발하였다. 모형의 개발을 위해, 적용 격자내에서 도시지역의 건물이 차지하는 길이 및 면적을 산정하고 그 값을 2차원 천수방정식에 적용 가능하도록 체적공극(𝜙_j)와 면적공극(𝜓_k)을 2차원 고전 천수방정식에 추가하였다. 개발모형은 고전 천수방정식, 등방성 공극 고려(미분형 다공성) 천수방정식 및 비등방성 공극 고려(적분형 다공성) 천수방정식의 적용이 가능하여, 각 모형에 적합한 2차원 격자 생성, 각 모형의 매개변수를 보정 그리고 정확성, 효율성, 적용성이 비교 가능하다. 각 모형의 정확성과 효율성 비교를 위해 3가지의 오차 비교 (구조적 오차, 격자크기 오차, 공극 모형 오차), 계산시간 비교, 공간 변동성 검증을 위한 수심 종단형상 비교하였다.

Living donor liver transplantation is increasingly performed as an alternative to cadaveric transplantation. Preoperative screening of the donor candidates is very important. The quality, size, and vascular and biliary anatomy of the liver are best assessed with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging or computed tomography (CT). In particular, the volume of the potential graft must be measured to ensure sufficient liver function after surgery. Preoperative liver segmentation has proved useful for measuring the graft volume before living donor liver transplantations in previous studies. In these studies, the liver segments were manually delineated on each image section. The delineated areas were multiplied by the section thickness to obtain volumes and summed to obtain the total volume of the liver segments. This process is tedious and time consuming. To compensate for this problem, automatic segmentation techniques have been proposed with multiplanar CT images. These methods involve the use of sequences of thresholding, morphologic operations (ie, mathematic operations, such as image dilation, erosion, opening, and closing, that are based on shape), and 3D region growing methods. These techniques are complex but require a few computation times. We made a phantom for volume measurement with pig and evaluated actual volume of spleen and liver of phantom. The results represent that our semiautomatic volume measurement algorithm shows a good accuracy and repeatability with actual volume of phantom and possibility for clinical use to assist physician as a measuring tool.

In this paper, a mesh simplification algorithm is proposed which considers the conservation of the volume of a 3D model. In General, most of mesh simplification algorithm use a distance metric. The distance metric is very efficient to measure geometric error, but it causes volume changes between the original model and the simplified model. In this paper a mesh simplification algorithm which conserves the volume of the original model is suggested. A new vertex resulting from an edge contraction, takes a position which conserves the volume of the 3D model using the proposed algorithm. Although the new algorithm needs more time than the QEM algorithm, it is shown that it conserves the original volumn of the 3D model during the simplification.

An experiment to measure the volume variation of bag net in a set-net by acoustic telemetry system was conducted in Jaran Bay, Gosung, Korea on 10 April to 23 April 2003. The long baseline telemetry system consists of three radio-acoustic linked positioning (RAP) buoys, a time controller with a personal computer and seven pingers. Six pingers were attached on the bottom of the bag-net and the other one was fixed on the sea bed. The results obtained are summarized as follows : 1. The average RAP buoy fixing errors of x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis were 0.2m, 0.4m, and 0.1m, respectively. 2. In the neap tide the minimum and maximum volume of the bag-net on 11 April 2003 were 4,173$m^3$(17:00) and 4,757$m^3$(12:00), respectively. The average current direction and speed at those times were 99.9$^{\circ}$, 12.9cm/s and 104.0$^{\circ}$, 2.4cm/s, respectively. 3. In the spring tide on 17 April 2003, the minimum and maximum volume were 2,016$m^3$(18:30) and 4,454$m^3$(15:00), respectively. The average current direction and speed at those times were 315.6$^{\circ}$, 16.1cm/s and 289.0$^{\circ}$, 5.7cm/s, respectively. 4. In conclusion the maximum variation of the volume on 17 April to 20 April 2003 was 3,552$m^3$ and it was larger 1.4 times than time on 11 April to 16 April 2003.
