  • Background: The conventional cerium-doped Gd2Al2Ga3O12 (GAGG(Ce)) scintillator-based gamma-ray imager has a bulky detector, which can lead to incorrect positioning of the gammaray source if the shielding against background radiation is not appropriately designed. In addition, portability is important in complex environments such as inside nuclear power plants, yet existing gamma-ray imager based on a tungsten mask tends to be weighty and therefore difficult to handle. Motivated by the need to develop a system that is not sensitive to background radiation and is portable, we changed the material of the scintillator and the coded aperture. Materials and Methods: The existing GAGG(Ce) was replaced with Bi4Ge3O12 (BGO), a scintillator with high gamma-ray detection efficiency but low energy resolution, and replaced the tungsten (W) used in the existing coded aperture with lead (Pb). Each BGO scintillator is pixelated with 144 elements (12 × 12), and each pixel has an area of 4 mm × 4 mm and the scintillator thickness ranges from 5 to 20 mm (5, 10, and 20 mm). A coded aperture consisting of Pb with a thickness of 20 mm was applied to the BGO scintillators of all thicknesses. Results and Discussion: Spectroscopic characterization, imaging performance, and image quality evaluation revealed the 10 mm-thick BGO scintillators enabled the portable gamma-ray imager to deliver optimal performance. Although its performance is slightly inferior to that of existing GAGG(Ce)-based gamma-ray imager, the results confirmed that the manufacturing cost and the system's overall weight can be reduced. Conclusion: Despite the spectral characteristics, imaging system performance, and image quality is slightly lower than that of GAGG(Ce), the results show that BGO scintillators are preferable for gamma-ray imaging systems in terms of cost and ease of deployment, and the proposed design is well worth applying to systems intended for use in areas that do not require high precision.

  • PURPOSE. This study evaluated the reliability of the chair-side CAD-CAM surgical guide (CSG) in the anterior maxilla by comparing its accuracy with the laboratory 3D-printed surgical guide (3DSG) and manual surgical guide (MSG) concerning different levels of dentists' surgical experience. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Ten surgical guides of each type (MSG, 3DSG, and CSG) were fabricated on a control study model with missing right and left central incisors. Sixty implants were placed in 30 study models by two dentists (one inexperienced and one experienced) using three different types of surgical guides. Horizontal deviations at shoulder and at apex, vertical, and angular deviations were measured after superimposing the planned and placed implant positions in the software. Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests were used to compare the accuracy of three types of surgical guides in each dentist group and the accuracy of each surgical guide between two dentists (α = .05). RESULTS. There were no significant differences in any deviations between CSG and 3DSG, apart from angular deviation, for both dentists' groups. Moreover, both CSG and 3DSG showed no significant differences in accuracy between the two dentists (P > .05). In contrast, MSG demonstrated significant differences from CSG and 3DSG and a significant difference in accuracy between the two dentists (P < .05). CONCLUSION. CSG provides superior accuracy to MSG in implant placement in the maxillary anterior region and is comparable to 3DSG at different levels of surgical experience, while offering the benefits of shorter manufacturing time and reduced patient visits.

  • PURPOSE. This study aims to evaluate the effects of exposure energy on the lateral resolution and mechanical strength of dental zirconia manufactured using digital light processing (DLP). MATERIALS AND METHODS. A zirconia suspension and a custom top-down DLP printer were used for in-office manufacturing. The viscosity of the suspension and uniformity of the exposed light intensity were controlled. Based on the exposure energy dose delivered to each layer, the specimens were classified into three groups: low-energy (LE), medium-energy (ME), and high-energy (HE). For each energy group, a simplified molar cube was used to measure the widths of the outline (Xo and Yo) and isthmus (Xi and Yi), and a bar-shaped specimen of the sintered body was tested. A Kruskal-Wallis test for the lateral resolution and one-way analysis of variance for the mechanical strength were performed (α = .05). RESULTS. The zirconia green bodies of the ME group showed better lateral resolution than those of the LE and HE groups (both P < .001). Regarding the flexural strength of the sintered bodies, the ME group had the highest mean value, whereas the LE group had the lowest mean value (both P < .05). The ME group exhibited fewer agglomerates than the LE group, with no distinctive interlayer pores or surface defects. CONCLUSION. Based on these findings, the lateral resolution of the green body and flexural strength of the sintered body of dental zirconia could be affected by the exposure energy dose during DLP. The exposure energy should be optimized when fabricating DLP-based dental zirconia.

  • PURPOSE. The study aimed to determine the influence of implant angulation on the trueness of multi-unit implant impressions taken through different techniques and strategies. MATERIALS AND METHODS. As reference models, three partially edentulous mandibular models (Model 1: No angulation; Model 2: No angulation for #33, 15-degree distal angulation for #35 and #37; Model 3: No angulation for #33, 25-degree distal angulation for #35 and #37) were created by modifying the angulations of implant analogues. Using a lab scanner, these reference models were scanned. The obtained data were preserved and utilized as virtual references. Three intraoral scanning (IOS) strategies: IOS-Omnicam, ISO-Quadrant, and IOS-Consecutive, as well as two traaditional techniques: splinted open tray (OT) and closed tray (CT), were used to create impressions from each reference model. The best-fit alignment approach was used to sequentially superimpose the reference and test scan data. Computations and statistical analysis of angular (AD), linear (LD), and 3D deviations (RMS) were performed. RESULTS. Model type, impression technique, as well as interaction factor, all demonstrated a significant influence on AD and LD values for all implant locations (P < .05). The Model 1 and SOT techniques displayed the lowest mean AD and LD values across all implant locations. When considering interaction factors, CT-Model 3 and SOT-Model 1 exhibited the highest and lowest mean AD and LD values, respectively. Model type, impression technique, and interaction factor all revealed significant effects on RMS values (P ≤ .001). CT-Model 3 and SOT-Model 1 presented the highest and lowest mean RMS values, respectively. CONCLUSION. Splinted-OT and IOS-Omnicam are recommended for multi-unit implant impressions to enhance trueness, potentially benefiting subsequent manufacturing stages.

  • 항공기 제작 및 운송 기술 발달로 국내 항공산업은 비약적인 발전을 이루었으나, 항공안전 사고는 지속해서 발생하고 있다. 관리 감독기관에서는 위험기반 항공안전데이터를 기반으로 위해 요인과 위험도를 분류하고, 운송사업자별 안전 경향성 파악과 취약분야를 도출하여 사전점검을 수행함으로써 사건·사고를 사전 예방중에 있다. 그러나 자연어 형식으로 기술된 항공안전데이터의 휴먼 분류는 지식과 경험, 성향에 따라 서로 다른 분류 결과를 초래하고, 이벤트 내용의 의미 파악 및 분류를 위한 작업에 상당한 시간을 소요케 한다. 이에, 본 논문에서는 KoBERT 모델을 fine-tunning하고 5천 건 이상의 항공안전데이터를 기계학습 시켜 신규 데이터의 분류 값을 예측한 결과 79.2%의 정확성을 보였다. 그리고 유사 이벤트에 대해 동일한 결과 예측과 fail 된 데이터 중 일부는 휴먼 에러에 의한 오류임을 확인할 수 있었다.

  • This study aimed to research the local production of conductive composite yarn, a source material used in textile-type electrodes and circuits. The physical properties of an internationally available conductive composite yarn were analyzed. To manufacture the conductive composite yarn, we selected one type of conductive yarn with Ag-coated polyamide of 150d 1 ply, along with two types of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) with circular and triangular cross-sections, both with 150d 1 ply. The conductive composite yarn samples were manufactured at 250, 500, 750, and 1000 turns per meter (TPM). For both conductive composite yarn samples manufactured from two types of PET filaments, the twist contraction rate of the sample with a triangular cross-section was stable. Among the samples, the tensile strength of the sample manufactured at 750 TPM was the highest at approximately 4.1gf/d; the overall linear resistance was approximately 5.0 Ω/cm, which is within the target range. It was confirmed that the triangular cross-section sample manufactured with 750 TPM had a similar linear resistance value to the advanced product despite the increase in the number of twists. In future studies, we plan tomanufacture samples by varying the twist conditions to derive the optimal conductive yarn suitable for smartwear and smart textile manufacturing conditions.

  • As the operating condition for the penetrating missile has been more advanced, the survivability of main charge has been strongly required when the warhead impacts the target. Lots of efforts to desensitize explosives such as the development of insensitive molecular explosives or optimizing plastic-bonded explosives(PBX) systems has been made to enhance the survivability of main charge. However, these efforts face their limits as the weapon system require higher performance. Herein, we suggest a new strategy to secure the survivability of main charge. We applied structurally supportable aluminum honeycomb(HC) structure to cast PBX. The aluminum HC structure reinforces the mechanical strength of cast PBX and helps it to withstand external pressure without the reaction like detonation. In this study, impact resistance character, shock sensitivity and internal blast performance of PBXs reinforced with HC structure were investigated according to the application of aluminum HC structure. The newly suggested aluminum HC structure applied to cast PBX was proved to be a promising manufacturing method available for high-tech weapon systems.

  • 염화물 환경에서 329LD 린 듀플렉스 스테인리스강과 CF3M 오스테나이트 스테인리스강 주물재의 공식 거동을 조사하였다. CF3M 합금에 비해 상대적으로 낮은 Ni 및 낮은 Mo 함량을 갖는 329LD 합금의 공식 전위, 부동태 영역 및 임계 공식 온도는 상용 CF3M 합금보다 높기 때문에 329LD 합금의 공식 저항성은 CF3M 합금보다 우수하였다. CF3M 합금에 비해 높은 Cr과 Mo 와 중간 정도의 N 함량을 갖는329LD 합금의 공식 저항성이 향상된 이유는 크게 두 가지이다. 첫째, 329LD 합금의 공식 저항 당량지수 (PREN δ+γ) 값이 CF3M 합금보다 높다. 둘째, 329LD 합금의 부동태 영역은 CF3M 합금의 부동태 영역보다 크다. 이는 329LD 합금에 높은 Cr과 낮은 Mo 및 중간 정도의 N 함량을 첨가함으로써 세 원소의 시너지 효과가 부동태 피막의 부동태를 향상시켜 내식성을 증가시키기 때문이다. 공식저항 당량지수에서 N factor 16을 이용하여 계산된 오스테나이트 (γ)의 PRENγ과 페라이트 (δ) 값의 PRENδ을 계산한 결과 오스테나이트 (γ)의 PRENγ 값이 페라이트 (δ)보다 작으므로 329LD 합금의 공식은 γ상에서 선택적으로 시작되어 최종적으로는 γ상에서 δ상으로 전파됨을 확인하였다.

  • 실험동물에서 항안성, 항산화성, 동맥경화 억제, 면역성 증강, 콜레스테롤 저하, 당뇨병 예방 및 치료효과가 있다고 알려진 conjugated linoleic acid(CLA)를 비육돈에 급여하여 비육돈 체조직내에 CLA를 축적시키고, CLA가 축적된 돈육을 이용하여 프레스햄을 제조한 후 저장성 및 품질특성에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. CLA는 alkaline isomerization 방법으로 식용유를 이용하여 전체 CLA 이성체가 56%인 CLA를 화학적으로 합성하였다. 대조구는 80${\sim}$110kg 까지는 일반사료회사에서 생산하는 사료를 급여하였으며, 처리구 1은 출하(출하체중:110kg) 2주전부터 일반사료회사에서 생산하는 사료에 CLA를 1.25%첨가하여 급여하였으며, 처리구 2는 출하 2주전부터 사료 함량에 CLA를 2.5% 첨가하여 급여하였다. 처리구 3은 사료 함량에 1.25% CLA를 첨가하여 4주간 급여하였으며, 처리구 4는 2.5% CLA를 4주간 급여하였다. 급여기간이 끝난 후 일괄적으로 함양도축장에서 도축하여 좌.우도체의 등심부위를 발골. 정형하여 제조 원료로 사용하여 프레스햄을 제조한 후 진공포장하여 냉장온도(4$^{\circ}C$)에서 1, 7, 14, 21 및 28일간 저장하면서 일반성분 및 저장기간에 따른 이화학적 특성분석(pH, 육색, 전단가) 및 지방산화 등을 조사하여 CLA가 축적된 프레스햄의 저장기간에 따른 품질 특성을 규명하고자 실시하였다. 함유수분 함향은 CLA를 4주간 급여한 T3, T4 처리구가 대조구와 T1, T2 처리구에 비하여 유의적으로 낮은 수분함량을 보였다(P<0.05). 조단백질 함량은 대조구와 T1 처리구에 비하여 T2, T3, T4 처리구가 유의적으로 낮은 조단백질 함량을 보였다(P<0.05). 조지방 함량은 CLA 급여 처리구간에는 유의적인 차이가 없었지만 2.5% CLA 급여 처리구(T2, T4)가 1.25% CLA 급여 처리구(T1, T3) 보다 높은 조지방 함량을 보였으며, 대조구와 CLA 급여 처리구간에는 대조구에 비하여 CLA 급여 처리구가 유의적으로 높은 조지방 함량을 보였다(P<0.05). 조회분 함량은 2.5% CLA를 4주간 급여한 T4 처리구가 다른 처리구에 비하여 유의적으로 높은 조회분 함량을 보였다(P<0.05). pH는 처리구간의 비교에서 전 저장기간동안 2.5% CLA를 4주간 급여한 T4 처리구가 다른 처리구에 비하여 유의적으로 높은 pH를 보였다(P<0.05). 저장기간에 따른 프레스햄의 pH 변화는 전 처리구가 저장기간이 경과함에 따라 유의적으로 증가하엿다(P<0.05). 명도, 적색도, 황색도는 처리구간에 유의적인 차이는 인정되었지만 뚜렷한 경향이 없었으며, 저장기간의 경과에 따른 변화에서도 뚜렷한 변화가 없었다. 처리구간에 전단가를 비교한 결과 전 저장기간 동안 뚜렷한 경향이 없었으며, 저장기간에 따른 변화에서는 전 처리구가 저장기간이 경과함에 따라 전단가가 높아지는 경향을 보였다. 지방산화는 전 저장기간동안 대조구에 비하여 CLA 급여 처리구가 낮았으며, 특히 저장 28일째는 유의적으로 낮은 지방산화를 보였다(P<0.05). 저장기간에 따른 지방산화 값의 변화는 대조구와 CLA 급여 처리구 모두 저장기간이 경과함에 따라 유의적으로 높게 나타났다(P<0.05). 이상의 결과 프레스햄 제조시 CLA가 축적된 돈육의 이요은 이화학적 특성에 영향을 미치지 않고, 제품의 저장기간을 연장시키며 CLA 축적이 가능하여 고급 육제품 생산이 가능하다고 사료된다.
