Purpose : To evaluate the effect of Gd-DTPA on signal intensity of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance(MR) image and apparent diffuse coefficient (ADC) in dog brain with hype racute stroke. Materials and methods : Experimental canine model of hyperacute cerebral infarction was made by selective intraarterial embolization with particulate embolic material. Diffusion-weighted MR imaging was performed in five dogs at 1 hour after the embolization of internal carotid artery. After intravenous bolus injection of Gd- DTPA, additional 11 diffusion-weighted MR images were serially obtained from 2 minutes to 90 minutes after injection in each dog. The author evaluated findings of hyperacute cerebral infarction on diffusion-weighted MR imaging, and calculated mean signal intensity and mean ADC in infarcted region and contralateral normal region. Statistical analysis of mean signal intensity, mean ADC and contrast-noise ratio before and after Gd-DTPA injection was performed. Results : Hyperacute cerebral infarction developed in all five dogs on diffusion-weighted MR images obtained 1 hour after embolization. The area of hyperacute infarction had steady increase in signal intensity on diffusion-weighted MR image and decrease in ADC. In normal perfusion area, decrease in signal intensity was observed at 2 minutes the Gd-DTPA injection, whereas ADC did not changed. Conclusion : Intravenous injection of Gd-DTPA had no influence on ADC in both hyperacute infarction and normally perfused are a, but caused initial transient signal reduction in normally perfused area on diffusion-weighted MR image due to susceptibility effect of Gd-DTPA. It is important to calculate ADC in evaluating the effect of diffusion after injection of Gd-DTPA.

Nowadays there is a trend to apply the diffusion equation to image Processing. The anisotropic diffusion equation is highly favoured as a noise removal algorithm because it can remove noise while enhancing edges. However if the two dimensional anisotropic diffusion equation is applied to the noise removal of video sequences, flickering artifact due to the luminance difference between frames and ghost artifact due to the interfiltering between frames occur. In this paper the two dimensional anisotropic diffusion equation is extended to the sequence axis. The Proposed three dimensional anisotropic diffusion equation removes noise more efficiently than the two dimensional equation, and furthermore removes the flickering and ghost artifact as well.

The diffusion of Sr-85, Cs-137, Co-60 and Am-241 in compacted domestic bentonite was studied, using a diffusion cell unit in which diffusion took place axially from the center of cylindrical bentonite sample body. The effects of compaction density and heat-treated bentonite on diffusion were analysed. And the diffusion mechanism of radionuclide was also analysed by evaluating the measured diffusivity of anion Cl-36. The apparent diffusivities obtained for Sr-85, Cs-137, Co-60 and Am-241 were $l.07{\times}10^{-11},\;6.705{\times}10^{-13},\;l.226{\times}10^{-13}\;and\; l.310{\times}10^{-14}m^2/sec$, respectively. When the as-pressed density of bentonite increased from $1.8\;to\;2.0g/cm^3$, the apparent diffusivity of Cs-137 decreased by quarter. In the case of bentonite heat-treated to $150^{\circ}C$, no significant change in diffusivity was observed, which showed the possibility that the domestic bentonite could be used as a chemical barrier to retard the radionuclide migration at below $150^{\circ}C$. From the calculated pore and surface diffusivity, the surface diffusion due to the concentration gradient of radionuclide sorbed on the solid phase was found to dominate greatly in total transport process.

In this paper, a new anisotropic diffusion based on Alvarez, Lions, and Morel (ALM) diffusion model is proposed for the suppression of blocking artifact caused by discrete cosine transform (DCT) based image compression. The proposed diffusion model, which incorporates a 'rate control parameter' (RCP), makes it possible to reduce blocking artifacts while to preserve the edge. The RCP controls the rate between isotropic and anisotropic diffusion. Isotropic diffusion is encouraged to eliminate the blocking artifacts in a block boundary of a smooth region, while anisotropic diffusion is encouraged to keep the edge or texture sharp in edge and a block boundary within an edge region. Additionally, to avoid oversmoothness of the texture region, a 'speed control parameter' (SCP), which makes diffusion process slow in the texture region, is employed.

본 논문에서는 항공 영상에서 직선 성분을 강건하게 추출하기 위한 새로운 영상 필터링 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 지상 구조물의 추출에 유용한 직선 특징을 이루는 에지와 비직선 특징을 이루는 에지의 대비도를 증가시키기 위하여 비선형, 비등방 확산 기법 [2]을 영상에 적응적으로 적용한다. 이를 위하여 확산 매개변수를 제안하는 새로운 직선성 척도로 설정하고 영상의 각 점에서의 직선성 값에 따라 적응적으로 확산을 시킴으로써 확산 과정에서 직선 특징을 잘 보존하고 비직선 특징을 효과적으로 제거한다. 본 논문에서는 직선성 척도로서 에지 체인 위의 점들의 방향성 엔트로피를 제안하고 다양한 영상에 대한 실험을 통해서 엔트로피 척도가 영상에서의 직선 특징을 추출하는데 효율적임을 보인다.

반도체 집적화 기술의 발달로 반도체 공정에서 디바이스의 선폭은 줄어들고, 박막의 다층화가 필수적인 과정이 되었다. 이에 따라 반도체에서 Si 기판과 금속 배선과의 열적 안정성에 대한 신뢰성이 더욱 중요시 되어가고 있다. 이를 방지하기 위하여 우리는 3개의 화합물로 구성된 Tungsten-Carbon-Nitrogen (W-C-N) 확산방지막을 사용하였다. 실험은 Si 기판위에 W-C-N박막을 물리적 기상 증착법(PVD)으로 질소비율을 변화하며 확산방지막을 증착하여 Si 기판과 W-C-N확산방지막의 특성을 여러 온도 열처리 조건에서 확인하였다. 특성을 분석을 위하여 ${\alpha}-step$과 ${\beta}-ray$를 이용하여 증착률을 확인한 후 4-point probe를 이용하여 비저항을 측정하였고, X-ray Diffraction 분석을 통하여 결정 내부의 변화를 확인하였다. 이를 통하여 W-C-N 확산방지막의 열적인 안정성을 질소변화에 따라 조사하였다.

Since strength and diffusion coefficient of concrete, representative concrete properties that in change with age, the time effect must be considered in the analysis of chloride penetration. In this study, an evaluation of correlation between accelerated diffusion coefficient, apparent diffusion coefficient, and compressive strength in high performance concrete with various mineral admixtures such as ground granulated blast furnace slag, fly ash, and silica fume was performed. For this work, thirty mix proportions were prepared. Accelerated diffusion coefficients at the age of 28, 91, 180, and 270 days were evaluated. For apparent diffusion coefficient, submerging test for 6 months was performed. For evaluation of compressive strength with ages, the compressive strength test was carried out at an age of 7, 28, 91, 180 days. The results of accelerated diffusion coefficient, apparent diffusion coefficient, and strength were compared, and the correlation was analyzed considering time dependency. From this study, linear relationship between accelerated diffusion and apparent diffusion coefficient were obtained regardless of concrete age. The linear relations were also observed in strength-accelerated diffusion coefficient and strength-apparent diffusion coefficient regardless of concrete age.

고병원성 조류 인플루엔자는 빠른 확산과 높은 치사율로 인하여 발병 초기에 질병의 확산경로 및 확산범위를 예측한다는 것은 매우 어려운 문제이면서 동시에 반듯이 해결해야만 하는 중요한 과제이다. 본 연구에서는 공개된 법정 고병원성 조류인플루엔자의 발병데이터를 기반으로 순차패턴 마이닝을 적용하여 질병의 순차적인 확산경로 규칙을 도출한 후, 그 결과를 바탕으로 지역개념계층(location concept hierarchy)에 따른 추상화 레벨의 점진적인 조절을 통하여 지역 원도우의 확대와 축소를 적용함으로써 도시(city)레벨부터 리(street)레벨까지의 질병확산경로 그래프와 GIS기반의 질병확산경로에 대한 분석을 시도하였다.

확산-유추 지형학적 순간단위도는 통계물리적인 모형으로 이론적 물리적으로 뛰어난 모형임에도 불구하고 유역의 동적 매개변수인 특성유속과 확산계수의 산정이 어려워 실제적인 사용이 제한되어 왔다. 이러한 난제를 해결하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 금강수계의 보청천 산성유역을 대상으로 전역최적화 기법인 SCE-UA를 이용하여 확산-유추 지형학적 순간단위도 모형의 동적 매개변수 산정하였으며, 모형의 재현성을 3개의 수문사상을 이용하여 검토하였다. 매개변수의 최적화 결과 차수 단계별 특성유속 및 확산계수의 증감은 변동을 보이지만, 전체적인 경향성은 특성유속의 경우 하천차수가 커질수록, 즉 하류방향에 대해 증가 경향을 나타내며, 반대로 확산계수는 감소되는 경향을 나타냈다. 본 연구에서 적용한 최적화 방법에 향후 지체시간, 분산 및 왜곡도 등의 통계적인 제약조건과 동적 매개변수의 공간적 변화 등의 물리적인 의미를 갖는 제약조건 등이 결합된다면 좀 더 발전된 모형으로 개선될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Recently, as many big marine concrete structures increase, it is necessary that chloride ion diffusion coefficient of concrete shall be evaluated but it will take a long time to evaluate chloride ion diffusion coefficient of concrete. Accordingly, many test methods are suggested to evaluate chloride ion diffusion coefficient in a short period time by the promotion in electro chemical ways but the systematic study for this is insufficient. Therefore, this study evaluates chloride ion penetration and diffusion features by three representative electric promotion tests targeting for three different cements whose ingredients are different and analyzes the correlationship between them. As a result, diffusion features of chloride ion varied according to the cement ingredients and three ingredients cement in which blast furnace slag powder and fly ash are mixed in constant ratio, which shows the most excellent cement diffusion properties. For diffusion properties of chloride ion, the correlationship between test methods are good.
