The combination of ultrasound echo images with digital particle image velocimetry (DPIV) method has resulted in a two-dimensional, two-component velocity field measurement technique appropriate for opaque flow conditions including blood flow in clinical applications. Advanced PIV processing algorithms including an iterative scheme and window of offsetting were used to increase spatial resolution. The optimum concentration of the ultrasound contrast agent used for seeding was explored. Velocity validation tests in fully developed laminar pipe flow and pulsatile flow showed good agreement with both optical PIV measurements and the known analytic solution. These studies indicate that echo PIV is a promising technique for the non-invasive measurement of velocity profiles and shear stress.

This paper studies asymptotic consensus problem for linear multi-agent systems. We propose a distributed state feedback control algorithm for solving the problem under fixed and undirected network communication. In contrast with the conventional algorithms that use global information (e.g., graph connectivity), the proposed algorithm only uses local information from neighbors. The principle for achieving asymptotic consensus is that, for each agent, a distributed update law gradually increases the coupling gain of LQR-type feedback and thus, the overall stability of the multi-agent system is recovered by the gain margin of LQR.

The developing agent is the materials which first acts on silver grain and make it into metallic silver by reducing reaction. There are several types in developing agent, and according to Lumiere-Andresen principle, substitution product which has amino or hydroxyl group in benzen nucleus has a developing power, but all reduing substances are not in used. In the developing effect, not only the role of developing agent but also that of assistant materials are important. But in this work, we have studied effect, change by lith developing agent which require high contrast image. We made an developing experiment after having manufactured developing solution used hydroquinone and another developing agents like chlorohydroquinone, pyrocatechol and pyrogallol as developing agent. And we added that did in addition of diethanolamine and ascorbic acid, and then we examined the possibility of use.

Evolving in artificial agent is an extremely difficult problem, but on the other hand, a challenging task. At present the studies mainly centered on single agent learning problem. In our case, we use simulated soccer to investigate multi-agent cooperative learning. Consider the fundamental differences in learning mechanism, existing reinforcement learning algorithms can be roughly classified into two types-that based on evaluation functions and that of searching policy space directly. Genetic Programming developed from Genetic Algorithms is one of the most well known approaches belonging to the latter. In this paper, we give detailed algorithm description as well as data construction that are necessary for learning single agent strategies at first. In following step moreover, we will extend developed methods into multiple robot domains. game. We investigate and contrast two different methods-simple team learning and sub-group loaming and conclude the paper with some experimental results.

The work is directed toward the synthesis of a series of DO3A conjugates of tranexamates (1c-e) and their Gd complexes (2c-e) for use as a liver-specific MRI CA. All these complexes show thermodynamic and kinetic stabilities comparable to those of structurally related clinical agents such as Dotarem$^{(R)}$. Their $R_1$ relaxivities also compare well with those of commercial agent, ranging 3.68-4.84 $mM^{-1}s^{-1}$. In vivo MR images of mice with 2a-e reveal that only 2a exhibits liver-specificity. Although 2b and 2c show strong enhancement in liver, yet no bile-excretion is observed to be termed as a liver-specific agent. The rest behaves much like ordinary ECF CAs like Dotarem$^{(R)}$. The new series possess no toxicity to be employed in vivo.

Motility contrast imaging is a coherence-domain imaging technique that uses cellular motility as a fully endogenous imaging contrast agent. Motility is measured inside tissue using a digital holographic coherence gate that extracts dynamic speckle from fixed depths. The dynamic speckle arises from the normal organelle motion inside cells, and from the movement of the cellular membranes driven by the cytoskeleton. It measures cellular activity and the effects of temperature and osmolarity. Motion is sensitive to cytoskeletal drugs, such as the antimitotic drugs used for cancer chemotherapy, and the effects of drug combinations also can be monitored. Motility contrast imaging is a potential tissue-based assay platform for highthroughput screening of pharmaceuticals.

The practical lith developer is a hydroquinone solution of moderate alkalinity and low free-sulfite ion concentration with potassium bromide as the restraining agent. In the study on composition of ilth developer to promote high sensitivity, high contrast and long term preservation or use, a new composition of lith developer, namely PK lith developer, was developed and of was found that PK lith developer was superior to the lith developer which was commercially available in terms of contrast, speed and preservation. This paper also describes studies on the addition of hdydrazine to PK lith developer, which have led to further improvements in the system.

본 연구에서 3.0 T에서 조영제 몰 농도에 따른 뇌 대사물질의 MR spectrum을 Phantom에서 PRESS 펄스 파형으로 분석하고자 하였다. 뇌 대사물질인 N-Acetyl Asparatate(NAA), Choline(Cho), Creatine(Cr)의 spectrum은 획득할 수 있었지만, Lactate(Lac)는 획득할 수 없었다. 조영제가 없는 대조군의 TR 2000 ms가 NAA, Cho에서 TR 1700 ms와 TR 1500 ms보다 높게 측정되었고, Cr에서는 TR 1500 ms에서 높게 측정되었다. 조영제가 희석된 TR 1700 ms에서 $0.1mmol/{\ell}$의 NAA 73%, Cho 249%, Cr 37%로 다른 TR 값보다 가장 높게 측정되었고, $0.3mmol/{\ell}$에서도 신호크기가 증가하였다. $0.5mmol/{\ell}$에서는 뇌 대사물질들의 신호크기가 감소하였으며, 특히 TR 1500 ms과 TR 2000 ms에서는 대조군보다도 감소하였다. NAA/Cr, Cho/Cr에서도 조영제 농도가 $0.1mmol/{\ell}$, $0.3mmol/{\ell}$, $0.5mmol/{\ell}$로 증가할수록 신호크기가 감소하였다. 조영제에 의한 MRS PRESS 펄스파형의 적정화를 위하여 3.0T에서 TR 2000 ms 보다 조영제 농도가 낮은 $0.1mmol/{\ell}$와 $0.3mmol/{\ell}$에서 신호크기가 가장 높고, 조영제 농도가 높은 $0.5mmol/{\ell}$에서는 신호크기가 가장 적게 감소한 TR 1700 ms로 반복시간을 단축시켜 사용하는 것이 유용할 것으로 사료된다.

방사선 촬영 조영제는 특수 조영을 필요로 하는 병원에서 인체 장기 및 특정한 부위 검사를 촬영할 때 흔히 쓰이고 있다. 특히 컴퓨터단층촬영(Computed Tomography CT) 조영제는 요오드(Iodine)라는 물질이 혼합되어 있는데 이것이 방사선의 에너지를 흡수하면서 방사선 영상 이미지에서 하얀색으로 보이게 되어 영상의 화질을 더욱 개선시킨다. 또한, 혈관에서 혈액과 같이 움직이는 CT 조영제는 근육 및 물과 확연히 구분을 시켜주고 있어 조영제를 병원에서 많이 사용하고 있다. 이러한 조영제는 엑스레이를 흡수하지만, 엑스레이를 흡수하기 위해서는 밀도가 높거나 방사선 흡수계수가 높아야 한다. 조영제가 혈관에 투입되기 때문에 밀도가 높으면 혈관에 무리가 가서 환자는 쇼크 상태가 오기 때문에 물과 비슷한 밀도를 맞춰야 하고 부작용에 대해 항상 신경을 써야한다. 또한, CT 조영제의 양을 환자의 체형에 따라 조절하면서 쓰고 남은 조영제를 폐기하는데 이것을 방사선 차폐재로 재활용을 할 수 있는 아이디어를 알아보고자 하였다. 조영제와 물을 혼합하는 방법에는 조영제 10%와 물 90%, 조영제 30%와 물 70%, 조영제 50%와 물 50%으로 3가지로 혼합하였다. CT 촬영은 광주광역시 U병원에서 GE사 4채널 CT를 사용하였으며 조영제와 물을 혼합하여 듀란병에 저장하였으며, 물 90%와 조영제 10% 혼합 액체의 밀도가 1.4 g/mL 정도일 때의 물질을 찾아보면 MYLAR라는 물질과 비슷한 것을 확인하였고, 물 70%와 조영제 30% 혼합 액체의 밀도가 1.76 g/mL일 때는 Polyvinylidene과 비슷한 물질인 것을 알 수 있었으며, 물 50%와 조영제 50%일 때 혼합 액체의 밀도는 2.3 g/mL일 때는 콘크리트(concrete) 밀도와 비슷한 밀도를 구성하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 본 실험의 결과를 통해서 물 50%와 조영제 50%를 혼합한 액체는 콘크리트 차폐와 비슷한 밀도를 가지고 방사선의 차폐가 가능하였다. 따라서 콘크리트 두께와 비교하여 조영제를 50% 이상 첨가한 두께를 이용한 차폐재를 만든다면 충분한 차폐재의 역할을 할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
