공기중의 오염 입자가 인체에 얼마나 많은 영향을 미치는가는 흡입된 입자 (inhaled particles) 중에서 얼마나 많은 양이 폐 (lung)에 침전되는가와 밀접한 관계가 있다. 또한 정상 및 비정상 (diseased) 폐에서, 흡입된 입자의 침전 위치와 침전양 (deposition site and dose)은 입자의 크기와 호흡 양식(breathing pattern)에 따라 큰 차이를 보이며, 이런 차이는 흡입오염입자 (inhaled pollutant particles)에 의한 건강 위험도 평가 (health risk assessment) 및 흡입용 약물 (inhaled drug aerosols)의 치료효과(therapeutic effects) 평가 등에 큰 영향을 미친다.

The purpose of this study is to provide baseline data on lung field size measured radiological method by chest PA image in normal Korean. The subject of this study is 496 normal persons who performed chest PA examination using x-ray digital radiography system. The measurement method is from the apex of right and left lung to the costophrenic angle of both lung, from the top of the image to the lowest costophrenic angle of both lung and transverse line of the largest lung area. As a result of this study, the following conclusions were obtained. A lung field size of male is larger than the female(p<0.05). The younger the age, the longer both lung length and total lung height statistically significant. As a increase height and length, A lung field size was increased(p<0.05). But, BMI is not associated with a lung field size. This study will be data of reference data when radiological technologists perform chest PA examination.

A new method to realize 3-dimensional object pattern recognition system using Fourier-based feature extractor has been proposed. The procedure to obtain the invariant feature vector is as follows ; A closed surface is generated by tracing the surface of object using the 3-dimensional polar coordinate. The centroidal distances between object's geometrical center and each closed surface points are calculated. The distance vector is translation invariant. The distance vector is normalized, so the result is scale invariant. The Fourier spectrum of each normalized distance vector is calculated, and the spectrum is rotation invariant. The Fourier-based feature generating from above procedure completely eliminates the effect of variations in translation, scale, and rotation of 3-dimensional object with closed-surface. The experimental results show that the proposed method has a high accuracy.

To make recycling aggregate, quantity of fine particles increase due to multi-crushing. Though this particles were mixed with recycling aggregate, those have to be disparted from aggregate in the high quality recycling aggregate, because of the cause of low quality. Considering reactivity, fine particles is better than coarse one. Therefore, it needs to develop suitable usage. We try to make cement extruding material by using the fine particles from concrete recycling, as a silicious replacement. Test results are as follows ; 1) Waste concrete powder has major ingredients such as $SiO_2$ and CaO, its density is $2.45g/cm^3$ being similar to silica powder, its diameter is range 13 to $141{\mu}m$. 2) Considering to strength properties according to particle size, specimen was made using small particles is higher strength than large one. 3) Despite of exception in the autoclaved curing, when the replacement of waste fine particle increase, strength of extruding panel shows almost same level.

간질성 폐질환(Interstitial Lung Disease) 컴퓨터지원진단(Computer-Aided Diagnosis： CAD)시스템은 방사선의사들이 흉부 X-ray영상에서 석회화와 섬유화를 탐지하고자 적용하였다. 진단 중에 발생할 수 있는 오진율을 줄이고 간질성 폐질환이 존재하는 폐야에서 이상유무를 판단하여 검출을 표시하도록 하였다. 본 논문에서는 디지털 흉부영상에서의 간질성 폐질환을 검출하기 위해 폐 텍스처(texture)의 물리적 척도를 측정하기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 2차원의 푸리에 변환으로부터 얻어지는 파워스펙트럼(power spectrum) 분석에 기반을 두는 방법으로 각각의 ROI(Region Of Interest)에서 구한 평균제곱자승오차(Root Mean Sguare: RMS)와 파워스펙트럼의 첫 번갠 모멘트(Moment)는 폐 텍스처의 밀도변동의 크기(magnitude)와 섬세함(fineness)을 나타낸다. 실험결과 다양한 간질성폐질환을 가진 비정상 폐 텍스처의 RMS와 첫 번째 모멘트와는 차이가 있었다. 디지텔 흉부영상으로부터 계산되어진 정량화된 텍스처의 척도는 방사선의사의 간질성 폐 질환을 진단함에 효율적인 질환 탐지를 가능하게 하였으며 진단율을 향상시킬 수 있었다.

The objectives of this study were to investigate $SO_2$ removal efficiency of anthracite - bituminous coal blend combustion in a fludized bed coal combustor with Ca/S, anthracite ratio, bed temperature, and waste paper sludge particle size. The experimental results were presented as follow ; the effect of the desulfurization by the particle size of waste paper sludge was a great and $SO_2$ removal efficiency was heigest in paper sludge dia $1016{\mu}m$. And the difference of $SO_2$ removal efficiency according to air velocity was not too large. As Ca/S mole ratio incresed, $SO_2$ removal efficiency incresed rapidly up to Ca/S mole ratio 3 while the desulfurization rates did not increse too largely in the range of more than the level. The bed temperature had a great deal of effect on the desulfurization rate. So the $SO_2$ removal efficiency was a graet using waste paper sludge that the properbility of paper sludge as sorbent was conformed.

Pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (PEH) is a rare vascular tumor of borderline or low-grade malignancy, and its prognosis is unpredictable. Herein, we describe the case of a 47-year-old asymptomatic female with a diagnosis of multinodular PEH. During a 7-year follow-up, the nodules with large size and high ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in the initial study showed progression with increasing sizes; however, most small nodules (size < 1 cm) demonstrated spontaneous regression with peripheral rim or nodular calcification. The patient underwent surgical resection for an enlarged nodule. Of note, it is unusual for an individual to have mixed progression and regression concomitantly, which may be helpful in predicting the prognosis.

Printed wiring boards(PWBs) of the obsolete computers are composed of various organic and inorganic compounds as well as metals and alloys. As convinced that the valuable metals obtained from the PWBs are effectively utilized as secondary resources when recovered by economical methods, in this study, an investigation for characterizing the physical separation techniques is conducted. For the recovery of them, the sockets and chips dismantled from PWBs by scraping and residual resin boards are subjected to the appropriate separation processes according to the physical properties of each part. In the case of crushed socket scraps size ranged from -2.36 mm to +1.18 mm, approximately 97 wt% of the product obtained by magnetic separation consists of metallic compounds. In the case of chip scraps, 97% of Fe-Ni alloy and 95% of Cu metal are recovered by the combined process of air classification and dry magnetic separation in the size range from -2.36 mm to +0.15 mm. Ball milling is adopted in order to improve the removal efficiency of the thin-printed metallic materials on the residual resin boards and approximately 77% of Cu metal is recovered by zigzag separation after ball milling.

In this study, a method of shear crushing and a two-stage disk mill were introduced to grind the waste tire powder. Rubber chips with various size were obtained during the crushing or grinding step. The two-stage disk mill was composed of two drum-type blades rotating at various speed and in opposite directions. Therefore, more roughly surfaced particles of micronized waste tire powder were obtained using shear crushing rather than using conventional cutting crushing. In this study, the shape of shear-crushed waste tire particles was compared with conventional cutting crushing particles by scanning electron microscope. In addition, the particle size analyzer was employed to determine the appropriate particle size of waste ground tire powders obtained in this study.

An unusual placentoid bullous lesion of the lung was reported. The patient was a 27-year- old woman with a 1-week history of chest pain and mild dyspnea. Chest radiographic studies showed multiple huge bullae in right upper lobe and variable-sized bullae in middle and lower lobes with collapse. She underwent right pneumonectomy with preoperative impression of bullous lung disease and emphysema. Histopathologically, the most distinctive features were villous structures within bullous airspace, which resembled placetal villi with degeneration.
