  • 최근 환자맞춤형방사선치료를 위해 임상에서 활용하고 있는 입체적세기조절회전방사선치료의 정도관리를 수행하고자 기존의 세기조절방사선치료에서 수행하는 정도관리 프로그램을 본 원의 실정에 맞게 치료계획단계 정도관리(Treatment planning QA), 치료전 전달단계 정도관리(Pretreatment delivery QA), 치료단계 정도관리(Treatment QA)인 세 가지 단계로 나누어 설정하였다. 각 정도관리 단계에서는 정도관리 프로그램에 따라 점검할 항목과 측정하여 평가할 항목을 설정하여 문서화를 위해 서식화 하였다. 본 원에서는 서식화한 정도관리 프로그램에 따라 실제 치료환자에 적용하였으며 본원의 치료전 전달 정도관리의 임상 허용기준을 위해 국소적 신뢰수준(confidence limit, CL)을 평가하였다. 그 결과 고선량 영역 점선량 측정, 저선량영역 점선량 측정의 CL는 모두 기존의 IMRT 수준과 유사한 결과를 얻었으며 이를 토대로 본원의 임상허용 기준은 고선량영역은 3%, 저선량 영역은 5%로 설정하였다. 입체적세기조절회전방사선치료의 특성상 Intensity map 평가는 360도 전 방향에서 Intensity map을 측정할 수 있는 ArcCheck 기기를 사용 하여 감마 지표(Gamma Index) 평가를 하였으며 그 결과는 IMRT의 개별적 intensity map 평가와 유사한 결과를 얻었으며 본원의 CL은 93%로 설정하였다. 등선량분포 평가는 2D detector array인 Mapcheck을 사용하였으며 95% 이상의 일치도를 보여 본원의 CL은 95%로 설정하였다. 방사선치료 정도관리에서 임의의 불확도와 계통 오차를 줄이려면 실제 환자 적용에 앞서 다 기관이 참여하는 팬톰을 이용한 국소적 CL 평가를 권장하고 있다. 국내 여건상 다 기관이 참여하는 연구가 여의치 않다면 본 연구와 같이 개별 기관에서 자체적으로 허용검사가 끝난 후에 실제 임상에서는 환자 치료 부위별로 세분화 하여 국소적 CL을 평가하는 방법이 유용할 것으로 사료된다.

  • This study aimed to evaluate and verify a process for correcting the extended source-to-imager distance (SID) in portal dosimetry (PD). In this study, eight treatment plans (four volumetric modulated arc therapy and four intensity-modulated radiation therapy plans) at different treatment sites and beam energies were selected for measurement. A Varian PD system with portal dose image prediction (PDIP) was used for the measurement and verification. To verify the integrity of the plan, independent measurements were performed with the MapCHECK device. The predicted and measured fluence were evaluated using the gamma passing rate. The output ratio was defined as the ratio of the absolute dose of the reference SID (100 cm) to that of each SID (120 cm or 140 cm). The measured fluence for each SID was absolutely and relatively compared. The average SID output ratios were 0.687 and 0.518 for 120 SID and 140 SID, respectively; the ratio showed less than 1% agreement with the calculation obtained by using the inverse square law. The resolution of the acquired EPIDs were 0.336, 0.280, and 0.240 for 100, 120, and 140 SID, respectively. The gamma passing rates with PD and MapCHECK exceeded 98% for all treatment plans and SIDs. When autoalignment was performed in PD, the X-offset showed no change, and the Y-offset decreased with increasing SID. The PD-generated PDIP can be used for extended SID without additional correction.

  • This paper presents a global path planning algorithm based on a visibility graph method, and applies additionally various constraints for constructing the reduced visibility graph. The modification algorithm for generating the rounded path is applied to the globally shortest path of the visibility graph using the robot size constraint in order to avoid the obstacle. In order to check the visibility in given 3D map data, 3D CAD data with VRML format is projected to the 2D plane of the mobile robot, and the projected map is converted into an image for easy map analysis. The image processing are applied to this grid map for extracting the obstacles and the free space. Generally, the tree size of visibility graph is proportional to the factorial of the number of the corner points. In order to reduce the tree size and search the shortest path efficiently, the various constraints are proposed. After short paths that crosses the corner points of obstacles lists up, the shortest path among these paths is selected and it is modified to the combination of the line path and the arc path for the mobile robot to avoid the obstacles and follow the rounded path in the environment. The proposed path planning algorithm is applied to the mobile robot LCAR-III.

  • Welding deformation during the assembly process is affected by not only local shrinkage due to rapid heating and cooling, but also root gap and misalignment between parts to be welded. Therefore, the prediction and control of welding deformation have become of critical importance. In this study, it was focused on the development of the 3-axis apparatus for real-time measurement of the welded deformation. To achieve the objective, a D-H algorithm has been carried out to check the behavioral and performance evaluation for the developed robot. The sequence experiments were taken the base materials of $400{\times}200{\times}4.5mm$ plate for butt welding. The real-time experimental measurements are in good agreement with the measured results.

  • 인터넷을 통해 제공되는 다양한 서비스의 보호를 위해 각각의 시스템들은 Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)를 널리 사용하고 있다. 그러나 PKI의 사용에는 여러 가지 문제점이 여전히 존재한다. 그러한 문제 중 하나가 일부 서비스들은 공개키 인증서의 즉각적인 검증을 필요로 하지만 PKI는 이와 같은 요구를 만족시키지 못한다는 것이다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 Boneh를 비롯한 몇몇 연구자들이 중재자를 이용한 RSA 전자 서명기법 (mRSA)이라는 개념을 처음 도입하였다. 또한, Gene Tsudik은 초기 mRSA의 취약점을 개선하여 ‘약한’ 전방향 안전성을 갖는 새로운 mRSA을 제안하였다. 본 논문에서는 약한 전방향 안전성 개념의 실제 적용에 따른 취약성을 분석하고 강한 전방향 안전성을 갖는 새로운 mRSA를 제안한다.

  • The wear of the third track power collector is one of the essential check factors for safe train operation. Rapid wear of the current collector accelerates the line of the catenary. In addition, the arc generated when the catenary line is turned off causes a malfunction in the minute portion of the catenary line, thereby shortening the life of the catenary line. In this paper, to analyze the mechanical wear of the current collector during driving according to the environmental factor of the Maglev(magnetic levitation train), it was divided into dry season and wet season. the wear of metallized collector, copper alloy collector and carbon collector were measured and compared with each other. The wear rate was measured according to the position of the wire, the position of the power collector and the position per hour. Microscopic photographs of the cross section and surface of the power collector were measured. The electrical currents of the metallized collector, copper alloy collector and carbon collector were measured.

  • Land use pattern in the Wangsuk river watershed was investigated on the bases of physiognomic vegetation maps made from the aerial photograph interpretation and field check. Landscape structure was analyzed using a GIS program supported by ArcView. Landscape structure depended on the geographical position of the river, such as the upper, middle and lower river. Watersheds of the upper and middle rivers were dominated by forests composed of secondary forest and plantation. But agricultural fields dominated that of the middle and lower river. Urban area and agricultural fields increased in from the upper toward the lower river watersheds. In addition to, a transformation of agricultural pattern into an institutional agriculture was characteristic in the middle and lower river basins. Water qualities of the Wangsuk river were usually better in the order of the upper, middle, and lower river, but they were fluctuated according to the site. Such fluctuation would due to self-purification of the river and land use pattern of the watershed as the non-point source. In this viewpoint, a strategy to manage the water quality in the level of watershed is urgently required.

  • There is increased soil erosion potential at highland agricultural crop fields because of its topographic characteristics and site-specific agricultural management practices performed at these areas. The agricultural upland fields are usually located at the sloping areas, resulting in higher soil loss, pesticides, and nutrients in case of torrential rainfall events or typhoon, such as 2002 Rusa and 2003 MaeMi. At the highland agricultural fields, the soil reconditioning have been performed every year to decrease damage by continuous cropping and pests. Also it has been done to increase crop productivity and soil fertility. The increased amounts of soil used for soil reconditioning are increasing over the years, causing significant impacts on water quality at the receiving water bodies. In this study, the field investigation was done to check soil reconditioning status for potato, carrot, and cabbage at the Doam-dam watershed. With these data obtained from the field investigation, the Soil and Water Assesment Tool (SWAT) model was used to simulate the soil loss reduction with environment-friendly and agronomically enough soil reconditioning. The average soil reconditioning depth for potato was 34.3 cm, 48.3 cm for carrot, and 31.2 cm for cabbage at the Doam-dam watershed. These data were used for SWAT model runs. Before the SWAT simulation, the SWAT ArcView GIS Patch, developed by the Kangwon National University, was applied because of proper simulation of soil erosion and sediment yield at the sloping watershed, such as the Doam-dam watershed. With this patch applied, the Coefficient of Determination ($R^2$) value was 0.85 and the Nash-Sutcliffe Model Efficiency (EI) was 0.75 for flow calibration. The $R^2$ value was 0.87 and the EI was 0.85 for flow validation. For sediment simulation, the $R^2$ value was 0.91 and the EI was 0.70, indicating the SWAT model predicts the soil erosion processes and sediment yield at the Doam-dam watershed. With the calibrated and validated SWAT for the Doam-dam watershed, the soil erosion reduction was investigated for potato, carrot, and cabbage. For potato, around 19.3 cm of soil were over applied to the agricultural field, causing 146% of more soil erosion rate, approximately 33.3 cm, causing 146% of more soil erosion for carrot, and approximately 16.2 cm, causing 44% of more soil erosion. The results obtained in this study showed that excessive soil reconditioning are performed at the highland agricultural fields, causing severe muddy water issues and water quality degradation at the Doam-water watershed. The results can be used to develop soil reconditioning standard policy for various crops at the highland agricultural fields, without causing problems agronomically and environmentally.

  • 제강슬래그 중 15~20%를 차지하는 환원슬래그는 건설재료로서의 유익한 화학적 조성을 함유하고 있음에도 불구하고, 특별한 활용처가 없이 매립되어지고 있기 때문에 용도개발이 시급하다. 본 연구는 제강 환원슬래그를 고효율 재활용 용도 개발을 위한 연구로, 사전 연구결과 급냉을 통하여 분화가 없는 안정된 골재상 제조가 가능하고, 이를 분쇄하여 수화시 급결 특성과 자체 수화특성을 갖는 것을 확인하였다. 한편, 철강 제조 공정에서 부산되는 환원슬래그일지라도 생산 제품에 따라 슬래그의 특성도 큰 차이를 보이기 때문에, 각 생산 제품에 따른 10군데 플랜트에서 배출되는 환원슬래그를 채취하여 그 화학적 특성을 평가하였다. 분석된 화학적 특성을 바탕으로, 급냉 시 생성되어지는 광물을 예측하여 사전연구 되었던 급냉 환원슬래그와 같이 급결성 및 강도발현특성을 갖는 무기결합재로의 제조 가능성을 확인하고자 하였다. 그 결과 특수강 및 열연 제품 생산공정에서 배출되는 환원슬래그일수록 높은 $Al_2O_3$ 함량을 가짐에 따라, 급결성 광물인 $C_{12}A_7$을 다량 함유하고, 이로써 급냉을 통하여 특수용 무기결합재로서 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

  • 본 연구에서는 기존에 개발된 GIS 기반의 분포형 강우유출모형(K-DRUM)이 대유역에서 많은 계산시간을 요구하는 단점이 있기 때문에 이를 개선하기 위하여 MPI(Message Passing Interface)기법을 적용한 병렬 K-DRUM모형을 개발하였다. K-DRUM 모형은 홍수기동안의 지표흐름과 지표하 흐름의 시간적 변화와 공간적 분포를 모의할 수 있으며, 전처리과정으로서 ArcView를 이용하여 모형에 필요한 ASCII형태의 입력 매개변수 자료들을 가공하였다. 개발된 병렬 K-DRUM 모형을 이용하여 남강댐유역에서 2006년 태풍 '에위니아' 사상을 대상으로 다양한 영역분할을 통한 유출계산 검토를 하였다. 영역분할 개수에 따른 병렬화 효과를 검토하기 위하여 분할 개수를 1개에서 25개까지 증가시키며 클러스터 시스템에서 유출모의를 수행하였다. 모의결과 영역분할 개수가 증가할수록 컴퓨터 메모리의 개수가 감소하게 되고, 이에 따라 모의수행시간 역시 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 본 연구에서 영역분할 계산방식을 채택함에 따라 영역의 접합부분에서 발생 가능한 유출량 계산오차를 최소화하기 위한 기법을 제시하였다. 유출량 계산오차 발생을 최소화하기 위해서는 단위 계산시간당 영역간 정보교환과 내부유출량 계산을 최소3회 반복하여야 함을 알 수 있었다.
