  • In this work we have examined the performance of the WSA/ENLIL cone model provided by Community Coordinated Modeling Center (CCMC). The WSA/ENLIL model simulates the propagation of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) from the Sun into the heliosphere. We estimate the shock arrival times at the Earth using 29 halo CMEs from 2001 to 2002. These halo CMEs have cone model parameters from Michalek et al. (2007) as well as their associated interplanetary (IP) shocks. We make a comparison between CME arrival times by the WSA/ENLIL cone model and IP shock observations. For the WSA/ENLIL cone model, the root mean square(RMS) error is about 13 hours and the mean absolute error(MAE) is approximately 10.4 hours. We compared these estimates with those of the empirical model by Kim et al.(2007). For the empirical model, the RMS and MAE errors are about 10.2 hours and 8.7 hours, respectively. We are investigating several possibilities on relatively large errors of the WSA/ENLIL cone model, which may be caused by cone model velocities, CME density enhancement factor, or CME-CME interaction.

  • 환자의 호흡은 방사선치료에서 중요한 인자로 작용한다. 종양을 치료하는 방사선 치료용 선형가속기에서 시행하는 기존의 cone-beam CT에서는 호흡에 의한 움직임이 반영되지 않아 영상에 왜곡이 발생하여 정확하지 못한 영상 정보를 획득하였다. 본 연구는 호흡에 의한 움직임을 고려하고 특정 순간을 포착한 gating을 적용하여 획득한 back projection 영상을 이용하여 cone-beam CT 영상으로 재구성하였으며 기존의 방법과 비교하였다. 기존의 방법은 영상 왜곡도가 400%에 달하였으나, 본 연구에서 시행한 gating을 적용한 cone-beam CT는 약 2%에 불과하였다. 이에 본 연구는 호흡의 움직임을 반영한 영상유도 방사선치료의 방향과 평가 방법을 제시하였다.

  • We have performed DFT calculations to investigate the conformational characteristics and hydrogen bonds of the p-tert-butylcalix[5]arene (1) and p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene (2). The structures of different conformers of 1 were optimized by using B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) method. The relative stability of the various conformers of 1 is in the following order: cone (most stable) > 1,2-alternate > partial-cone > 1,3-alternate. The relative stability of four conformers of 2 is in the following order: cone (most stable) > partial-cone > 1,2-alternate > 1,3-alternate. The primary factor affecting the relative stabilities of the various conformers of the 1 and 2 are the number and strength of the intramolecular hydrogen bonds. The hydrogen-bond distances are discussed based on different calculation methods.

  • The calibration methods of neutron-measuring devices such as the neutron survey meter have advantages and disadvantages. To compare the calibration factors obtained by the shadow cone method and semi-empirical method, 10 neutron survey meters of five different types were used in this study. This experiment was performed at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI; Daejeon, South Korea), and the calibration neutron fields were constructed using a $^{252}Californium$ ($^{252}Cf$) neutron source, which was positioned in the center of the neutron irradiation room. The neutron spectra of the calibration neutron fields were measured by a europium-activated lithium iodide scintillator in combination with KAERI's Bonner sphere system. When the shadow cone method was used, 10 single moderator-based survey meters exhibited a smaller calibration factor by as much as 3.1-9.3% than that of the semi-empirical method. This finding indicates that neutron survey meters underestimated the scattered neutrons and attenuated neutrons (i.e., the total scatter corrections). This underestimation of the calibration factor was attributed to the fact that single moderator-based survey meters have an under-ambient dose equivalent response in the thermal or thermal-dominant neutron field. As a result, when the shadow cone method is used for a single moderator-based survey meter, an additional correction and the International Organization for Standardization standard 8529-2 for room-scattered neutrons should be considered.

  • 콘 관입시험 결과는 현장의 비배수전단강도 결정을 위하여 광범위하게 활용되고 있으며, 이를 위하여 지역별로 적절한 경험적 콘 지수($N_{kt}$, $N_{ke}$, $N_{{\Delta}u}$)의 결정이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 창원 북면 지역 지반에 대하여 일축 압축시험 및 비압밀비배수 삼축압축시험 결과를 이용하여 콘 지수를 산정하였으며, 소성지수 및 간극수압비와의 관계를 고찰하였다. $N_{kt}$, $N_{ke}$, $N_{{\Delta}u}$은 각각 8~40, 7~37, 1~26으로 산정되었으며, 간극수압비와 비교적 큰 연관성이 있음이 고찰되었다.

  • Molecular structures of the various conformers for the four stereoisomers of tetra-t-butyl-tetra-O-methylsulfinylcalix[4]arene (1) were optimized using DFT BLYP and mPW1PW91/6-31G(d,p) (hybrid HF-DF) calculation methods. We have analyzed the total electronic and Gibbs free energies and normal vibrational frequencies of 16 different structures from four major conformations (cone (CONE), partial cone (PC), 1,2-alternate (1,2-A), 1,3-alternate (1,3-A)) of the four stereoisomers [1(rccc), 1(rcct), 1(rctt), 1(rtct)]. The mPW1PW91/6-31G(d,p) calculations suggested that the $1(rccc)_{CONE}$, $1(rcct)_{PC}$, $1(rctt)_{PC}$, and $1(rtct)_{1,3-A}$ were the most stable conformations of the respective stereoisomers. These outcomes are in accordance with the experimental structures obtained from X-ray crystallography. The electrostatic repulsion between the sulfinyl and methoxy groups is a primary factor for the relative stabilities of the four different conformations. The IR spectra of the most stable conformers [$1(rccc)_{CONE}$, $1(rcct)_{PC}$, $1(rctt)_{PC}$, $1(rtct)_{1,3-A}$] of each stereoisomer were compared to each other.

  • An extremum method is presented to predict the wrinkling characteristics of the inflated cone in bending. The wrinkling factor is firstly defined so as to obtain the wrinkling condition. The initial wrinkling location is then determined by searching the maximum of the wrinkling factor. The critical wrinkling load is finally obtained by determining the ratio of the wrinkling moment versus the initial wrinkling location. The extremum method is proposed based on the assumption of membrane material of beam wall, and it is extended to consider beam wall with thin-shell material in the end. The nondimensional analyses show that the initial wrinkling location is closely related to the taper ratio. When the taper ratio is higher than the critical value, the initial wrinkles will be initiated at a different location. The nondimensional critical wrinkling load nonlinearly increases as the taper ratio increases firstly, and then linearly increases after the critical taper ratio. The critical taper ratio reflects the highest load-carrying efficiency of the inflated cone in bending, and it can be regarded as a measure to optimize the geometry of the inflated cone. The comparative analysis shows fairly good agreement between analytical and numerical results. Over the whole range of the comparison, the mean differences are lower than 3%. This gives confidence to use extremum method for bending-wrinkling analysis of inflated conical cantilever beam.

  • The estimation of the undrained shear strength $s_u$ for clays using CPT results has been mainly based on the cone factor $N_k$. In this study, a new CPT-based method for the estimation of the undrained shear strength $s_u$ is presented. This aims at reducing uncertainties for the estimation of $s_u$ and enhancing the application of CPT results in more effective manner. For this purpose, a site located at a marine clay deposit is selected and test results from extensive experimental testing program are adopted. The new method defines a direct correlation between the undrained shear strength $s_u$ and the cone resistance $q_t$, excluding the procedure of the overburden pressure correction and therefore undisturbed soil sampling process. In order to verify the new CPT-based method, additional test sites and example sites from literature, which consist of a variety of soil conditions, are selected and examined. It is observed that values of su obtained from the proposed method are in good agreements with measured values of $s_u$ for all the selected verification cases.

  • 전기저항식 변형율계를 이용한 콘 관입시험기는 온도 변화에 의해 선단저항력이 달라진다-본 연구에서는 FBG센서를 이용하여 직경 0.5mm의 온도센서와 직경 7mm의 마이크로콘을 제작하여 온도의 변화가 콘 선단저항력에 미치는 영향을 평가하고 이를 효과적으로 보상하고자 하였다-광섬유 마이크로콘과 온도센서는 콘의 구조, 센서 부착 위치 및 광섬유를 이용한 온도보상법 등을 고려하여 제작하였다-온도영향 시험결과, 전기저항식 변형율계의 콘 선단저항력은 온도에 의해 영향을 받으며 온도 차이가 클수록 오차도 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 반면, FBG센서에서 측정된 콘 선단저항력은 FBG 온도센서를 이용하여 효과적으로 온도의 영향을 보상할 수 있었다. 또한 온도 보상을 실시한 전기저항식 변형율계의 콘 선단저항력은 심도에 따라 일정한 분포를 보였으며 관입과 동시에 온도의 영향이 보상되는 FBG센서의 결과와도 매우 유사한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 온도 변화가 선단저항력에 미치는 영향을 평가하였으며, FBG센서를 이용하여 효과적으로 온도 영향을 보상할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
