Agricultural Policy/Environmental eXtender Model(APEX)는 전 농장 또는 소규모 유역 관리에 활용하고자 개발된 모형이다. APEX는 사용자들을 고려하고 다양한 형태로 개발하였다. 사용자들이 사용하기 쉽도록 윈도우 인터페이스 형태의 WinAPEX 모듈을 개발하기도 하였으며, ArcGIS 프로그램과 연계하여 다양한 지리정보시스템을 사용할 수 있는 ArcAPEX 모듈을 개발하기도 하였다. 그러나 WinAPEX 모듈은 유역에 대한 정보를 시각적으로 확인할 수 없다는 단점을 가지고 있으며, ArcGIS 프로그램은 유료의 라이센스라는 단점을 보유하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위하여 APEX 모형을 GNU General Public License 기반의 Open Source Geographic Information System(GIS)인 Quantum GIS(QGIS)와 연계하여 QAPEX 모듈을 개발하고자 하였다. QAPEX 모듈은 오픈소스 기반의 QGIS 프로그램과 APEX 모형을 이용하여 무료로 사용할 수 있으며, 사용자의 편의를 위해 유역에 대한 정보를 시각적으로 확인할 수 있다. 뿐만아니라 QGIS는 사용자간의 정보 및 자료 공유에 용이한 장점을 보유하고 있어 QAPEX를 이용하는 사용자들 간의 정보 공유로 인해 원활하고 지속적인 개선이 이루어 질 것으로 기대된다.

Objective: To compare the positions of the mandibular premolars in Angle Class I subjects according to vertical facial type. The results will provide a theoretical basis for predicting effective tooth movement in orthodontic treatment. Methods: Cephalometric parameters were determined using cone-beam computed tomography in 120 Angle Class I subjects. Subjects were categorized as short, normal, and long face types according to the Frankfort mandibular angle. Parameters indicating the position of the mandibular right premolars and the mandible were also measured. Results: The angle between the mandibular first premolar axis and buccal cortex, the distance between the root apex and buccal cortex, angle of vestibularization, arc of vestibularization, and root apex maximum movable distance were significantly greater in the short face type than in the long and norm face types. The angle between the mandibular second premolar axis and buccal cortex, the distance from root apex to buccal cortex, and the arc of vestibularization were significantly greater in the short face type than in the normal face type. Conclusions: There are significant differences in the mandibular premolar positions in Class I subjects according to vertical facial type.

농업 유역 내 수문 순환 및 비점오염원의 발생 및 거동에 대해서 유역단위로서의 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 하지만 유역단위로서의 모의를 통해서는 필지 별 발생되는 농업 비점오염물질을 평가하고 대책을 세우기에는 한계가 있다. 따라서 농업 유역의 농경지를 대상으로 유역단위 모의가 아닌 필지단위 모의를 진행함으로써 농업 비점오염물질에 대한 관리를 해야 할 필요성이 있다. 그리하여 본 연구에서는 필지단위로 상세한 모의가 가능한 ArcAPEX 모형을 사용하였으며 모형 내 임계값 조정을 통한 유역 구분 시 우리나라 지형 및 농업특성 상 지형인자 추출의 어려움으로 Pre-defined Streams and Watersheds 기능을 활용하는 것이 농경지를 대상으로 정확한 필지 분할 및 필지 특성 반영이 될 것이라 판단하였다. 하지만 Pre-defined Streams and Watersheds 기능에 필요한 자료를 구축하는데 시간과 노력이 많이 소모되고 어려움이 있었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 입력 자료 구축의 편의를 도모하고자 Subarea-Stream 자동 연결 모듈을 개발하여 그 활용성을 평가하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 지형적 특성으로 인해 집약적인 농업이 행해지고 있는 강원도 양구군에 위치한 해안면 유역의 농경지 경계와 하천 및 수로에 대한 자료를 Subarea-Stream 자동 연결 모듈에 입력하여 최종적으로 Pre-defined Streams and Watersheds 기능에 필요한 입력 자료를 변환시켜 모형에 적용하였다. 본 연구결과 Pre-defined Streams and Watersheds 기능에 필요한 입력 자료를 단시간에 편리하게 구축할 수 있었으며, 농경지를 대상으로 필지 단위로 분할이 된 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 최종적으로 본 연구를 통해 지형인자 추출 오류로 인해 수계 추출 시 나타날 수 있는 문제점에 대한 해결을 할 수 있었으며 모형 내 Pre-defined Streams and Watersheds 입력 자료 구축 시 Subarea-Stream 자동 연결 모듈을 활용한다면 농업 유역 내 농경지에 대해서 편리하게 유역단위에서의 모의가 아닌 필지단위에서의 상세한 모의를 하는데 큰 기여를 할 것이라 판단된다.

This letter proposes a Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DS-SS)-based Flight Termination System(FTS) and show the simulation results and implements the system using FRGAs. The DS-SS FTS has immunity interference signals and the influence of jamming signal. Moreover, a DS-SS FTS can provides effects on an authentication and encryption with spread codes. And the system uses more less power than an analog FM system. We used Reed-Solomon (32, 28) code and triple Data Encryption Standard(3DES) for error correction and data encryption. Also we used counter algorithm for unauthenticated device's attack The spread codes of In-phase channel and Quadrature channel were generated by Gold sequence generators. The system was implemented in Altera APEX20K100E FPGA for the ground system and EPF10K100ARC240-3 for the airborne system.

Purpose: To evaluate the dosimetric variations in patients of head and neck cancer treated with definitive or adjuvant radiotherapy using optimized non-coplanar (ncVMAT) beams with coplanar (cVMAT) beams using volumetric arc therapy. Materials and Methods: Twenty-two patients of head and neck cancer that had received radiotherapy using VMAT in our department were retrospectively analyzed. Each of the patients was planned using coplanar and non-coplanar orientations using an optimized couch angle and fluences. We analyzed the Conformity Index (C_IRTOG), Dose Homogeneity Index (DHI), Heterogeneity Index (HI_RTOG), low dose volume, target and organs-at-risk coverage in both the plans without changing planning optimization parameters. Results: The prescription dose ranged from 60 Gy to 70 Gy. Using ncVMAT, C_IRTOG, DHI and HI_RTOG, and tumor coverage (ID_95%) had improved, low dose spillage volume in the body V_5Gy was increased and V_10Gy was reduced. Integral dose and intensity-modulated radiation therapy factor had increased in ncVMAT. In the case of non-coplanar beam arrangements, maximum dose (D_max) of right and left humeral head were reduced significantly whereas apex of the right and left lung mean dose were increased. Conclusion: The use of ncVMAT produced better target coverage and sparing of the shoulder and soft tissue of the neck as well as the critical organ compared with the cVMAT in patients of head and neck malignancy.

A 12-year-old spayed female beagle dog was presented with pollakiuria and stranguria. Abdominal ultrasonography identified irregular a marginated, hyperechoic mass in the urethra and trigon area of the bladder. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a heterogeneous mass in the trigone area leading to a urethra. There was no evidence of regional or distant metastasis. Cytologic analysis suspected transitional cell carcinoma (TCC). The patient was treated with piroxicam, mitoxantrone, and once weekly fractionated radiation therapy (RT) with volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT). A follow-up CT scan at 6 months after RT revealed a reduction in tumor size. At 17 months after the start of RT, the patient became severely anorectic and lethargic. Ultrasound examination revealed a hyperechoic mass in the apex area of bladder while the trigone area of the bladder and urethra appeared normal. Multiple hypoechoic nodules of various sizes were found in the liver and spleen. The patient was humanely euthanized at the request of the owner. A combination of piroxicam, mitoxantrone, and hypofractionated RT with VMAT protocol was well tolerated. This case described tumor response and survival time of a canine TCC treated with piroxicam, mitoxantrone, and once weekly palliative RT using computer-assisted planning and VMAT.

Purpose: This study examined changes in the position of the heat and lungs depending on the patient's breathing method during left breast cancer radiotherapy and used treatment plans to compare the resulting radiation dose. Materials and methods: The participants consisted of 10 patients with left breast cancer. A CT simulator(SIMENS SOMATOM AS, Germany) was used to obtain images when using three different breathing methods: free breathing(FB), deep inspiration breath hold(DIBH with Abches, DIBH), inspiration breath hold(IBH with CPAP, CPAP). A Ray Station(5.0.2.35, Sweden) was used for treatment planning, the treatment method was volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) with one partial arc of the same angle, and the prescribed dose to the planning target volume (PTV) was a total dose of 50Gy(2Gy/day). In treatment plan analysis, the 95% dose (D95) to the PTV, the conformity index(CI), and the homogeneity index (HI) were compared. The lungs, heart, and left anterior descending artery (LAD) were selected as the organs at risk(OARs). Results: The mean volume of the ipsilateral lung for FB, DIBH, and CPAP was 1245.58±301.31㎤, 1790.09±362.43 ㎤, 1775.44±476.71 ㎤. The mean D95 for the PTV was 46.67±1.89Gy, 46.85±1.72Gy, 46.97±23.4Gy, and the mean CI and HI were 0.95±0.02, 0.96±0.02, 0.95±0.02 and 0.91±0.01, 0.90±0.01, 0.92±0.02. The V20 of Whole Lung was 10.74±4.50%, 8.29±3.14%, 9.12±3.29% and The V20 of the ipsilateral lung was 20.45±8.65%, 17.18±7.04%, 18.85±7.85%, the Dmean of the heart was 7.82±1.27Gy, 6.10±1.27Gy, 5.67±1.56Gy, and the Dmax of the LAD was 20.41±7.56Gy, 14.88±3.57Gy, 14.96±2.81Gy. The distance from the thoracic wall to the LAD was measured to be 11.33±4.70mm, 22.40±6.01mm, 20.14±6.23mm. Conclusion: During left breast cancer radiotherapy, the lung volume was 46.24% larger for DIBH than for FB, and 43.11% larger for CPAP than FB. The larger lung volume increases the distance between the thoracic wall and the heart. In this way, the LAD, which is one of the nearby OARs, can be more effectively protected while still satisfying the treatment plan. The lung volume was largest for DIBH, and the distance between the LAD and thoracic wall was also the greatest. However, when performing treatment with DIBH, the intra-fraction error cannot be ignored. Moreover, communication between the patient and the radiotherapist is also an important factor in DIBH treatment. When communication is problematic, or if the patient has difficulty holding their breath, we believe that CPAP could be used as an alternative to DIBH. In order to verify the clinical efficacy of CPAP, it will be necessary to perform long-term follow-up of a greater number of patients.

In order to investigate characteristics of the primary flow and the secondary currents in the meandering channel, laboratory experiments were conducted in the meandering channel made up of alterative bends haying 120。 arc angle. Experiments were performed in two types of cross-sections, a rectangular cross-section and a curved cross-section which was made to adopt a beta probability function. Three-dimensional velocity fields were measured using a micro-ADV. As the result of experiments, in case of the rectangular cross-section, the primary flow occurred taking the shortest course, which is similar to the result of previous researches. In case of the curved cross-section, the primary flow was expected to occur along the thalweg. but it occurred almost along the shortest way. This is considered due to effects of bottom roughness and sinuosity Not only a main cell but also a secondary cell of secondary currents were clearly shown by mean of the stream function. The secondary current intensity has the maximum value near the apex of the second bend for cases of both rectangular and curved cross-sections. However, the value of the secondary current intensity for the curved section is slightly larger than that for the rectangular cross-section. Also, in case of the rectangular cross-section, the higher the ratio of width to depth is, the larger the secondary current intensity is.
