Ground vibration and noise from blasting operation are known to be the most representative constituents which can cause human and material damage. In this study, the effect of delay time on ground vibration is investigated by adopting seven different delay times in bench blasting. For each delay time, three blasting operations were performed. The prediction equations for blasting vibration are derived from 50 sets of measurement and the time theory of Langefors is evoked in the analysis of the blasting vibrations and frequencies. For the delay times of 8 ms and 28 ms, the average values of ground vibration are 5.76 cm/sec and 5.75 cm/sec, respectively, which are considerably low. Also the cyclic variation in the vibration measurements with the delay time confirms the interference effect. From the application of the measurements of blasting vibration and frequency to the time theory of Langefors, it is concluded that the optimum delay times are 8 ms and 24 ms for the test site.

FPGA has been widely used in communication system. In this paper, we made 10 layers PCB on protection of signal noise and data lose with FPGA. We analyzed about change of the data transmission speed and length according to input frequency. The length of transmission line from FPGA's output-pin to output-port on PCB board is 13cm and extended lengths for test are 30cm, 60cm and 10cm. We knew that data can be stably transmitted to 100Mbps at transmission line length of 30cm.

PZT(30/70) thick film was fabricated by using 1,3 propanediol-based sol-gel method. Prepared film of pyroelectric property was investigated by Dynamic method of modulation frequency dependence. Pyroelectric coefficient was obtained about $5.0{\times}10^{-8}\;C/cm^2{\cdot}K$. The figure of merits for voltage responsively and specific detectivity were $3.4{\times}10^{-11}\;C{\cdot}cm/J$ and $5.9{\times}10^{-9}\;C{\cdot}cm/J$, respectively, because of relative high-dielectric constant and high-pyroelectric coefficient. Voltage responsively was increased at low modulation frequency and it was decreased at high modulation frequency. Voltage responsively was maximum 1.84 V/W at 10Hz. As Johnson noise is dominant, Noise voltage was increased nearly proportional to $f^{-1/2}$. Noise equivalent power and specific detectivity were $2.83{\times}10^{-7}\;W/Hz^{1/2}$ and 3.13{\times}10^5\;cm{\cdot}Hz^{1/2}/W$ the same frequency at 80Hz, respectively.

The main purpose of this study was to provide information on attenuation effects in forest tree belt of pine stand and oak stand. The relationships between DBH, tree height, clear length, crown area and number of trees and also between distance from noise origin, landslope etc. were analysed by correlation and multiple regression. The results obtained were as follows : 1. There was no difference between pine stand and oak stand in effecting noise attenuation. 2. The noise pressure was highly correlated with all of seven elements tested and both DBH and distance from noise origin have higher r-values than the others. For the pine stand, it was 0.9133 in DBH and 0.9630 in the distance and for the oak stand, 0.9296 in DBH and 0.9565 in the distance. 3. The optimum regression equation for pine stand and oak stand were made by combination of two variables (DBH and distance). The table of noise attenuation was made by optimum regression equation. In the case of pine stand, the attenuation ratio was 29% at 5m, 31.6~32.6% at 10m, 38.3~39.8% at 20m and 45.2~46.6% at 30m. And case of oak stand, the attenuation ratio was 29% at 5m, 31.6~34.2% at 10m, 38.6~41.4% at 20m and 45~47.2% at 30m. 4. As the noise pressure limit at the Urban housing area according to environmental laws is under 55dB, it is suggested by the table of noise attenuation that the distance, and DBH for the pine and oak stand are over 20m, 400cm and 30-35 trees, respectively.

This study was conducted to investigate the specificities of four fulcrum types for geo-statistical analysis of elevation within rice paddy field. In Korea, the spaces between inter-rows and between hills for rice transplanting are 30cm and 11cm to 14cm, respectively. So, the size and shape of fulcrum for field elevation measurement should be considered according to the inter-row and the hill spaces. Four kinds of fulcrum were chosen such as round-shape with 2.5cm diameter, circular-shape with 10cm diameter, 10cm (one third of inter-row space) by 24cm (double of hill space) rectangular-shape, and 20cm (two-thirds of inter-row space) by 24cm rectangular-shape. The resulting descriptive statistics couldn't determine the best fulcrum type to measure the rice paddy field elevation. But the results of geo-statistical analysis could determine the best fulcrum type. In the case of 10cm by 24cm rectangular-shape fulcrum, Nugget and range, meaning measurement error and/or noise, and limit of spatial connection, respectively, were minimum; Q value meaning weight of spatial structure and $r^2$ value were minimum, and residual sum of squares was minimum. It means that 10cm by 24 cm rectangular-shape fulcrum could best describe the rice paddy field elevation.

This paper relates with the eualization performance of Constellation Matching-MMA (CM-MMA) in order to the consists of optimum receiver for the minimization of intersymbol interference and additive noise effects that is occurs in the nonlinear communication channel. The error signal were obtained that combines the Constellation Matching technique that inserts the zero point between the signal point of equalizer for improving the residual isi and convergence speed compared to the currently used MMA algorithm. In the initial state of adaptive equalization, it depends on the MMA characteristics mainly. And in the steady state, it depends on the CM characteristics mainly. In order to analyzing the equalization performance, the output signal constellation, residual isi, maximum distortion, MSE and SER were applied, then it were compared with the present MMA algorithm. As a result of computer simulation, the CM-MMA has more better performance in the every performance index, and it was also confirmed that the constellation matching effect can be obtained in the greater than 20dB signal to noise ratio.

To maintain improved image quality in mammography, the quality control process is performed using the ACR (American college of radiology) phantom. In addition, many studied were performed by fabricating the customized breast phantom to provide more information in mammography. Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the image quality by designing the modified ACR phantoms. The five modified acrlylic ACR phantoms were designed by considering insert position and phantom thickness. The phantoms were consisted of 4.5, 3.0, and 1.5 cm in terms of phantom thickness, and 3.0, 2.0, and 0.5 cm in terms of insert position, respectively. The acquired images were evaluated by PSNR (peak signal to noise ratio), RMSE (root mean square error), CC (correlation coefficient), CNR (contrast to noise ratio), and COV (coefficient of variation). Based on the similarity analysis, the result is suitable between conventional and new designed phantoms. In addition, the CNR and COV results in terms of insert position showed that image quality for 0.5 cm was 2.3 and 27.4% improved compared with 2 and 3 cm, respectively. According to phantom thickness results, the CNR result for 1.5 cm and COV result for 4.5 cm were 50.1 and 62.7% improved compared with that those conditions. In conclusion, we confirmed that the image quality depends on the breast size and thickness through modified ACR phantom study.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether or not there was artifact when the upper limb could not be lifted to the top of the head during multi-detector computed tomography(MDCT) scans of the chest and abdomen. Contrast radiography of the human and chest phantom was performed with 128channal MDCT. Under the same conditions(120 kVp, 110 mAs, standard algorithm)both hands lifted up and put down each time in the human experiment. In the chest phantom experiment, the radiography was carried out when the upper limb phantom was adjusted at a certain distance(0, 3, 7 cm) from the chest phantom. Subsequently, the values of Noise, CT number, SNR, and CNR were measured in the field of concern. The noise value of fat, rib, and muscle increased when the arm was lifted in humans(0.79, 47.8, 27%). Furthermore, when the upper limb was lowered, the noise value of muscle and lung increased in the phantom(31.2, 9.4%). In addition, the noise value of the muscles and lung decreased by 5, 25.12% and 5.6, 15.35% as the upper limb moved about 0,3,7cm away from the chest. When the chest and abdominal radiography were performed, in the case of the presence of other parts outside the inspection area, the probability of artifact was minimal while the distance was more than 3cm away from the upper limb to the chest and abdomen.
