치료 후 I-131 SPECT/CT는 잔류 갑상선 위치확인 및 전이유무를 판단하기 위하여 시행된다. 잔류 갑상선에 집적이 심한 경우 영상은 ringing artifact에 의하여 왜곡된다. 본 연구는 ringing artifact를 제거하고 영상의 질을 향상시키기 위한 적절한 post-filter의 적용에 대하여 제시하고자 한다. 본 실험은 hollow sphere와 아크릴통으로 구성된 phantom을 사용하여 SPECT/CT Discovery 670 (GE Healthcare, USA) 장비로 수행하였다. I-131용액을 hollow sphere에 184, 46, 9.2, 2.3 MBq/cc, 아크릴통에 46 kBq/cc을 각각 주입하였고 sphere 대 background의 비를 4000:1, 1000:1, 200:1, 50:1로 설정하였다. 데이터는 다음과 같은 조건으로 획득하였다(HEGP collimator 사용, Attenuation collection 적용, scan time 40 secs/frame, step angle 6도, scan mode non circular, evolution 적용과 미적용). 획득된 데이터는 OSEM (iteration 2, subset 10) 방식으로 재구성하였다. Post-filer의 사용에 따른 이미지의 변화를 보기 위해 3가지의 다른 post-filer들이 사용되었다(butterworth filter cut-off: 0.38, 0.43, 0.48, 0.53, 0.58, hanning filter cut-off: 0.8, 0.85, 0.9, 0.95, 1, gaussian FWHM: 3, 3.4, 4, 4.5, 5). 각각의 데이터는 MRIcro를 사용하여 contrast ratio, background variability를 분석하였고 e.soft ROI tool을 사용하여 FWHM값을 구하였다. Evolution을 적용한 경우, 모든 결과에서 contrast ratio값이 높게 나타났다. Evolution을 적용하지 않은 경우 star artifact 등 왜곡이 발생하였고 영상의 질이 현저히 낮아짐을 확인할 수 있었다. 4000:1, 1000:1, 200:1의 경우, butterworth filter 사용 시 ringing artifact가 발생하였으며 cut-off값이 커질수록 artifact가 감소하였다. Hanning filter를 사용한 경우 ringing artifact는 발생하지 않았다. Contrast ratio와 FWHM값이 butterworth filter나 hanning filter 적용 시 우수하였다. Gaussian filter경우 contrast ratio와 FWHM값에서 저조한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 50:1의 경우, 모든 경우에서 ringing artifact가 발생하지 않았다. Butterworth filter를 적용한 경우 가장 높은 contrast ratio와 가장 우수한 FWHM값을 나타내었다. 본 논문을 통하여 I-131 SPECT에서 ringing artifact가 발생 할 경우(thyroid remnant를 포함) hanning filter를 사용하여 영상을 재구성하고, ringing artifact가 발생하지 않을(remnant thyroid를 포함하지 않음) 경우 butterworth filter를 사용하여 재구성하는 것이 바람직하다는 사실을 알 수 있었다.

An MMIC oscillator operating at the 24.55 GHz has been designed using 0.2 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$AlGaAs/InGaAs/GaAs Pseudomorphic HEMT technology. The active device used in the oscillator design has a 0.2 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ gate length PHEMT with 4$\times$80 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ gate width. We obtained 4.08 dB of S$_{21}$ gain and 317 mS/mm of transconductance, and extrapolated unit current gain cut-off frequency (f$_{T}$) and maximum oscillation frequency (fmax) were 62 GHz and 120 GHz, respectively. The circuit are based on a series feedback and negative resistance topology. Microstrip line open stub is used to terminating. The oscillator circuits has designed for delivering maximum power to load and conjugated matching. The simulated small signal negative resistance was 50 Ω. We obtained 1.002 of loop gain and 0.0005$^{\circ}$angle from the simulation by HP libra 6.1. The layout for oscillator is 1.2$\times$1.8 $\textrm{mm}^2$.>.

The effect of the changes in parameter angles(precone, droop, sweep) on the lead-lag damping was focused on. Experiment was made with hingeless 4-blade rotors and NACA 0012 airfoil. For the measurement of the rotating natural frequencies and lead-lag damping, non-rotating swash plate was oscillated at the regressing lag mode frequency and the data were acquired after the excitation was cut off. Analysis was made using a finite element formulation based on Hamilton's principle. The main blade is assumed as elastic beams. Quasi-steady strip theory is used to obtain aerodynamic forces, and non-circulatory forces are also included.

Although widely used in external beam treatment planning, computed tomography scans are infrequent in incranial tumors by implanting of Radioactive isotope. This incranial brachytherapy has only become possible by using CT scans and stereotaxic operation methods. The coincidence of single source and tumor axes in brachytherapy is very important to determine the therapeutic dosages. Eventhough using the CT scan, according to spatial location of tumor tying, the section of tumor will be seen enlargement, cause the tumor will be cut off with slight angle to its axes. Correct analysis of tumor size from source is required for rotated axes in analytical geometry.

Stochastic stability criterias for ocean wave analysis add simulation are studied using the data simulated by the linear superposition method. To clarify the criterias, the effects of the simulation parameters on the variance of stochastic properties of ocean waves are investigated, and the stable conditions of the parameters are estimated through the comparative study on the stochastic properties of simulated waves and well-known ocean waves. The simulation parameters considered are high frequency cut-off, data length, and number and phase angle of component waves. Statistical characteristics analysed are wave height, period and steepness, and the formation of groups of higher waves, resonance periods, steeper higher waves and extreme run-length of the run.

This paper proposes a control method for reducing the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the grid current of three-phase grid-connected inverter systems when the grid voltage is distorted. The THD of the grid current caused by grid voltage harmonics is derived by considering the phase delay and magnitude attenuation due to the hardware low-pass filter (LPF). The Cauchy-Schwarz inequality theory is used in order to search more easily for the minimum point of the THD. Both the gain and angle of the compensation voltage at the minimum point of the THD of the grid current are derived with the variation of cut-off frequencies of the hardware LPF. Simulation and experimental results show the validity of the proposed control methods.

An iterative sliding mode observer is proposed to sensorless control of a PMSM(Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor). The proposed sliding mode observer has the character which is robust to the disturbance and parameters variation. A low pass filter with the variable cut-off frequency is also proposed to compensate the delay of the rotor angle according to the rotor speed, it is led to save memory and minimize operation time. Experimental results show that the proposed sliding mode observer leads to the proper performance.

This paper presents research on predicting the possible intercept time for a Nodong missile based on its flight trajectory. North Korea possesses ballistic missiles of various ranges, and nuclear warhead miniaturization tests and ballistic missile launch tests conducted last year and in previous years have made these missiles into a serious security threat for the international community. With North Korea's current miniaturization skills, the range of the nuclear capable Nodong missiles can be adjusted according to their use goals and operating environment by using a variety of adjustment methods such as payload, fuel mass, Isp, loft angle, cut-off, etc., and therefore precise flight trajectory prediction is difficult. In this regards, this research performs model simulations of the flight trajectory of North Korea's domestically developed Nodong missiles and uses these as a basis for predicting the possible intercept times for major ballistic missile defense systems such as PAC-3, THAAD, and SM-3.

Among various biometrics recognition systems, statistical fingerprint recognition matching methods are considered using minutiae on fingerprints. We define similarity distance measures based on the coordinate and angle of the minutiae, and suggest a fingerprint recognition model following statistical distributions. We could obtain confidence intervals of similarity distance for the same and different persons, and optimal thresholds to minimize two kinds of error rates for distance distributions. It is found that the two confidence intervals of the same and different persons are not overlapped and that the optimal threshold locates between two confidence intervals. Hence an alternative statistical matching method can be suggested by using nonoverlapped confidence intervals and optimal thresholds obtained from the distributions of similarity distances.

We propose a hole-filling method to solve discontinuous depth representation and to reduce the visible seams and cracks that cause the limitation of the viewing angle of the three-dimensional (3D) image in the multilayer type 3D display system. The occlusion and the disocclusion regions between layers, such as the visible seams and cracks, are a major bottleneck of the multilayer type 3D display system to represent a volumetric 3D image by stacking multiple images. As a result, in the reconstructed 3D image, the visible seams and cracks appear as brighter overlapping and undesirable cut-off. In order to resolve the problems above, we applied the depth-fused effect to the sub-depth map generating algorithm and improve the viewing characteristics of the multilayer type 3D display. The experimental demonstrations are also provided to verify the proposed scheme.
