Measured and calculated the TMR and SMR factors from percent depth dose underpartial attenuators which cover the whole part of the radiation beam with variousfilter thickness from 0 to 50 mm. This study was performed for x-ray beams generated with a 6 MV linear acceleratorat source to surface distance of 100cm in a water phantom for Lipowitz metal. TMR(0,d,t) was derived from non-linear polynomial regression with field sizedifferencies and a given filter thickness. In this experiments, the TMR(0,10,50) of 50mm of filter thickness was showed13.6 % higher than that of open field and SMR(5,10,50) was 38.5% smaller than thatof open field in same depth.

Directly converting the focal depth and image size of computer-generated-hologram (CGH), which is obtained by calculating the interference pattern of light from the 3D image, is known to be quite difficult because of the less similarity between the CGH and the original image. This paper proposes a method for separately converting the each of focal length of the given CGH, which is composed of multi-depth images. Firstly, the proposed technique converts the 3D image reproduced from the CGH into a Light-Field (LF) image composed of a set of 2D images observed from various angles, and the positions of the moving objects for each observed views are checked using an object detection algorithm YOLOv5 (You-Only-Look-Once-version-5). After that, by adjusting the positions of objects, the depth-transformed LF image and CGH are generated. Numerical simulations and experimental results show that the proposed technique can change the focal length within a range of about 3 cm without significant loss of the image quality when applied to the image which have original depth of 10 cm, with a spatial light modulator which has a pixel size of 3.6 ㎛ and a resolution of 3840⨯2160.

In this paper, we propose a method that can detect and trace the end point of real - time reinforcement steel to various environmental conditions of industrial field by using Median flow and Depth information. We proposed a method to derive two steel end points by using Median filter, Binarization, Morphology, and Blob algorithm on image depth information. The coordinates of the final position were determined by comparing the coordinates of the reinforcement steel endpoints detected in the Depth image and the position tracking coordinates of the reinforcement steel using Median Flow. As a result, when the existing Median Flow method was used, the success rate of the final position determination of reinforcement steel of 75% was increased to 95% when the Depth of reinforcement steel was used.

The behavior of the correction factor associated with the collimator opening(head-scatter factor) were investigated for the 6MV x-ray beams of medical linear accelerator. The primary photon fluence was measured in air quasi-small fied size. Consideration in this study was given to the effect of head scatter factor with quasi-small fied size, the upper and lower collimator jaw scatter collection factors of quasi-small field (4-10cm) were measured with ion chamber. In general, the wedge factors which are used clinical practics are ignored of dependency on field sizes and depth. In wedge factors for each wedge filter were measured at various depth by using 6MV X-ray. In this present we inverstigated systematically the depth and field sizes dependency to determine the absorbed dose more accurately. Head scatter(upper-lower collimator jaw)appears to be (1) a small effect, less than 5％ over the range of clinical field sizes (2) generated primarily at the flattening filter and therefored influenced most by the upper collimator setting.

Efforts are concentrated onto effective simulation of surface discharged heat water in two-dimensional depth-averaged finite element model using Gaussian puff algorithm incorporating near-field characteristics as patches computed from CORMIX3 with ambient flow variations. Concise analyses of horizontal and vertical temperature distributions are made for real coastal power plant discharges through four field observations and the results from this proposed method are in good agreements with observations in far-field as well as near-field. Thus, this method can simulate the heat dispersion effectively for the whole region since the complex jet momentum characteristics and ambient flows are easily represented in 10 meters of finite element discretization around a discharging point.

The load transfer depth of a ground anchor is the minimum length required to transfer the initial prestressing to the grout column through the bonded part. A thorough understanding of the mechanism of load transfer as well as accurate prediction of the load transfer depth are essential for designing an anchorage that has an adequate factor of safety and satisfies implicit economic criteria. In the current research, experimental and numerical studies were conducted to investigate the load transfer mechanism of ground anchors based on a series of laboratory and field load tests. Optical FBG sensors embedded in the central king cable of a seven-wire strand were successfully employed to monitor the changes in tensile force and its distribution along the tendons. Moreover, results from laboratory and in-situ pullout tests were compared with those from equivalent case studies simulated using the finite difference method in the FLAC 3D program. All the results obtained from the two proposed methods were remarkably consistent with respect to the load increments. They were similar not only in trend but also in magnitude and showed more consistency at higher pullout loading stages, especially the final loading stage. Furthermore, the estimated load transfer depth demonstrated a pronounced dependency on the surrounding ground condition, being shorter in hard ground conditions and longer in weaker ones. Finally, considering the safety factor and cost-effective design, the required bonded length of a ground anchor was formulated in terms of the load transfer depth.

This paper describes the evaluation of shield TBM disc cutter penetration depth in practice. In this study the disc cutter penetration depth used to design the excavation speed of tunnel is reviewed. The characteristics of ground encountered in the investigation site are analysed and evaluated. The shield TBM used in the field is reviewed to verify the applicability of machine in the site. The thrust and torque capacities of each TBM disc cutter are also evaluated. Based on the field data, the excavation volume and speed are re-analysed to evaluate the disc cutter penetration depth used in the design stage. It is clearly found that the design value of disc cutter penetration depth needs to modify when estimation of the TBM capacities in very hard rock formation ($S_c$ >150 MPa).

Purpose: Soil strength has been measured using a cone penetrometer, which is making it difficult to obtain the spatial data required for precision agriculture. Our objectives were to evaluate real-time horizontal soil strength (RHSS) to measure soil strength in real time while moving across the field. Using the RHSS data, the tillage depth was determined, and the power consumption of a tractor and rotavators were compared. Methods: The horizontal soil-strength index (HSSI) obtained by the RHSS was compared with the cone index (CI), which was measured using a cone penetrometer. Comparison analysis in accordance with the measurement depth that increased at 5-cm interval was conducted using kriged maps at six sensing depths. For tillage control and evaluation of the power consumption, the system was installed with a potentiometer for tillage depth, a torque sensor from the rear axle, and a power take-off (PTO) shaft. Results: The HSSI was lower than the CI, but they were the same at 54.81% of the total grids for the 5-cm depth and at 3.85% for the 10-cm depth. In accordance with the recommended tillage map, tillage operations between 0 and 15 cm left 2.3% and 7% residue cover on the soil, and that between 20 and 10 cm covered a wider utilization of 3% and 18.4%, respectively. When the tillage depth was 15 cm, the comparison result of the power requirements between the PTO and rear axle in terms of control performance revealed that the maximum power requirements of the axle and PTO were 44.63 and 23.24 kW, respectively. Conclusions: An HSSI measurement system was evaluated by comparison with the conventional soil strength measurement system (CI) and applied to a tractor to compare the tillage power consumption. Further study is needed on its application to various farm works using a tractor for precision agriculture.

Recent internal and external bridge failures due to pier and abutment scour have emphasized the need for better methods of scour depth estimation. This paper compares the hydraulic analysis of the Namhan River Bridge over the Namhan River using one-dimensional models. WSPRO & HEC-2, and the two-dimensional model. TABS-MD based on the procedures presented in HEC-18 published by the U.S. FEdral Highway Administration. A comparison of estimated scour depth for this research based on the results from both one-dimensional and two-dimensional model is presented. At the same time, field measurement has been performed before and after flood using sounding instrument. Fathometer (DE-719C). A comparison between estimated and measured scour depth at bridge is also presented. Result shows that there is all the difference between estimated and measured scour depth due to dissimilarity between laboratory and field conditions. Also, it is difficult to measure the maximum scour depth accurately due to refilling. Therefore development of scour measuring equipment which can be used during peak flood, and derivation of empirical model appropriate for internal river system seems urgent.

The video-assisted human action recognition [1] field is one of the most active ones in computer vision research. Since the depth data [2] obtained by Kinect cameras has more benefits than traditional RGB data, research on human action detection has recently increased because of the Kinect camera. We conducted a systematic study of strategies for recognizing human activity based on deep data in this article. All methods are grouped into deep map tactics and skeleton tactics. A comparison of some of the more traditional strategies is also covered. We then examined the specifics of different depth behavior databases and provided a straightforward distinction between them. We address the advantages and disadvantages of depth and skeleton-based techniques in this discussion.
