This paper presents vessel contour for extracting features and segmentating narrow blood vessels down to a diameter of two pixels in digital subtraction angiographic image. We present a new tracking algorithm for contour, mainly blood vessels in DSA image, and extracting properties such as their intensities, diameters, and center lines by exploiting spatial continuity. The proposed algorithm comes to detect blood vessel's boundary using difference edge detector one of homogeneity operator and find a next centerline position by direction vector of edge information. This algorithm enhanced variation of vessel's diameter compared to Sun's tracking algorithm and lessoned to compute as direction vector decide adaptively entire vessel's direction field. The processed images are intended to support radiologists in diagnosis, radiation therapy planning, and surgical planning. The algorithm should be useful for automating angiographic analyses of blood vessels.

A bilayer film consisting of a layer of a-Se$_{75}$ Ge$_{25}$ with a surface layer of silver -100[.angs.] thick and a monolayer film of a-Se$_{75}$ Ge$_{25}$ are irradiated with 9[keV] Ga$^{+}$ ion beam. The Ga$^{+}$ ion (10$^{16}$ [ions/cm$^{2}$] exposed a-Se$_{75}$ Ge$_{25}$ and Ag/a-Se$_{75}$ Ge$_{25}$ thin films show an increase in optical absorption, and the absorption edge on irradiation with shifts toward longer wavelength. The shift toward longer wavelength called a "darkening effect" is observed also in film exposure to optical radiation(4.5*10$^{20}$ [photons/cm$^{2}$]). The 0.3[eV] edge shift for ion irradiation films is about twice to that obtained on irradiation with photons. These large changes are primarily due to structural changes, which lead to high etch selectivity and high sensitivity.

검출기의 자세한 구조를 알고자 CT 스캐닝을 하였으며 크리스털 형상과 사층에 관한 세부적인 구조를 전산모사 계산법을 이용해 재현하였다. 낮은 에너지의 감마선에 대한 피크 효율이 거리가 작아질수록 감소, 보다 높은 에너지(400 keV) 아상에서의 전체 효율성은 검출기 코어를 조정함으로써 불확도를 줄일 수 있었다. PENELOPE 계산법을 이용해 얻은 공간적 의존성 사이에 적절한 일치점이 달성되었음을 확인 하였다. 이는 크리스털 코어, 모서리와 크리스털 코어의 라운딩을 설명해 주는 매개변수들을 조정함으로써 달성되었다.

Co and Fe doped multi-wall carbon nano-tubes (MWCNTs) synthesized by microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) technique are investigated with synchrotron radiations at Pohang Light Source (PAL) and European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF). Near edge x-ray absorption spectroscopy (NEXAFS) measurement at C K, Co $L_{3,2}$ and Fe $L_{3,2}$-edges, and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) at Co and Fe $L_{3,2}$-edges have been carried at 7B1 XAS KIST and 2A MS beamline, respectively, to understand the electronic structure and responsible magnetic interactions at room temperature. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) at C K-edge shows significant p-bonding and Co and Fe L-edges proves the presence of $Co^{2+}$ and $Fe^{2+}$ in octahedral symmetry. Co and Fe doped MWCNTs show good XMCD spectra at 300K. The effect on the magnetism is also studied through swift heavy ion (SHI) radiations and magnetism is found enhanced and change in the electronic structure in Co-CNTs is investigated.

The effect of thermal annealing on defect recovery of in-core neutron-irradiated 4H-SiC was investigated. Au/SiC Schottky diodes were manufactured using a 4H-SiC epitaxial wafer that was neutron-irradiated at the HANARO research reactor. The electrical characteristics of their epitaxial layers were analyzed under various conditions, including different neutron fluences (1.3 × 10¹⁷ and 2.7 × 10¹⁷ neutrons/cm²) and annealing times (up to 2 h at 1700 ℃). Capacity-voltage measurements showed high carrier compensation in the neutron-irradiated samples and a recovery tendency that increased with annealing time. The carrier density could be recovered up to 77% of the bare sample. Deep-level-transient spectroscopy revealed intrinsic defects of 4H-SiC with energy levels 0.47 and 0.68 eV below the conduction-band edge, which were significantly increased by in-core neutron irradiation. A previously unknown defect with a high electron-capture cross-section was discovered at 0.36 eV below the conduction-band edge. All defect concentrations decreased with 1700 ℃ annealing; the decrease was faster when the defect level was shallow.

In this work, single photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) were fabricated using the standard 180 nm complementary metal-oxide semiconductor process. Their small size of 15-16 µ m and low operating voltage made it possible to easily integrate them with readout circuits for compact on-chip sensors, particularly those used in the radiation sensor network of a nuclear plant. Four architectures were proposed for the SPADs, with a shallow trench isolation (STI) guard ring and different depletion regions designed to demonstrate the main performance parameters in each experimental configuration. The wide absorption region structure with PSD and a deep N-well could achieve a uniform electric field, resulting in a stable dark count rate (DCR). Additionally, the STI guard ring was implanted to mitigate the premature edge breakdown. A breakdown voltage was achieved for a low operating voltage of 10.75 V. The DCR results showed 286.3 Hz per ㎛² at an excess voltage of 0.04 V. A photon detection probability of 21.48% was obtained at 405 nm.

본 연구에서는 마이크로스피커에서 진동판의 패턴에 따른 음향특성의 변화를 연구하였다. 진동판을 에지부와 돔부로 크게 나누고, 이들 각각에 대한 패턴형태의 변화는 진동판의 인장강도에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났고, 그 결과로써 마이크로스피커의 공명진동수가 변하였다. 에지부에서 패턴의 수가 증가하면, 공명진동수가 증가하여 최대가 된 후에 다시 지수함수적으로 감소하였다. 에지부에서 "U"형 드릴의 사용, 회오리형 패턴과 "V"형 드릴의 각도를 감소시키거나 또는 돔부에서 방사형 패턴의 수와 돔 높이의 감소와 곡률반경의 증가는 진동판의 인장강도를 증가시켜 공명진동수를 높였다. 그러나 에지부에서 "V"형 드릴의 사용, 방사형 패턴과 "V"형 드릴각도의 증가와 돔부에서 방사형 패턴의 수와 돔의 높이를 증가시키거나 곡률반경을 감소시키면 진동판의 인장강도가 감소하여 공명진동수가 감소하였다.

This study was performed for the clinical applications applying the Monte Carlo methods. In this study we calculated the absorbed dose distributions for the 6 MeV electron beam in water phantom and compared the results with measured values. The energy data of electron beam used in Monte Carlo calculation is the energy distribution for 6 MeV electron beam which is assumed as a Gaussian form. We calculated percent depth doses and beam profiles for three field sizes of $10{\times}10,\;15{\times}15$, and $20{\times}20\;cm^2$ in water phantom using Monte Carlo methods and measured those data using a semiconductor detector and other devices. We found that the calculated percent depth doses and beam profiles agree with the measured values approximately. However, the calculated beam profiles at the edge of the fields were estimated to be lower than the measured values. The reason for that result is that we did not consider the angular distributions of the electrons in phantom surface and contamination of X-rays in our calculations. In conclusion, in order to apply the Monte Carlo methods to the clinical calculations we are to study the source models for electron beam of the linear accelerator beforehand.

In this study, a neural network model inspired by a one-dimensional convolution U-net is developed to automatically accelerate edge localized mode (ELM) detection from big diagnostic data of fusion devices and increase the detection accuracy regardless of the hyperparameter setting. This model recognizes the input signal patterns and overcomes the problems of existing detection algorithms, such as the prominence algorithm and those of differential methods with high sensitivity for the threshold and signal intensity. To train the model, 10 sets of discharge radiation data from the KSTAR are used and sliced into 11091 inputs of length 12 ms, of which 20% are used for validation. According to the receiver operating characteristic curves, our model shows a positive prediction rate and a true prediction rate of approximately 90% each, which is comparable to the best detection performance afforded by other algorithms using their optimized hyperparameters. The accurate and automatic ELM-burst detection methodology used in our model can be beneficial for determining plasma properties, such as the ELM frequency from big data measured in multiple experiments using machines from the KSTAR device and ITER. Additionally, it is applicable to feature detection in the time-series data of other engineering fields.

목 적: 목적: 2D-ARRAY chamber를 이용하여 고정형쐐기(Physical wedge filter)와 동적쐐기(Dynamic wedge)의 조사야 주변의 선량을 비교하여 평가하였다. 대상 및 방법: 고체팬텀위에 2D-ARRAY seven29 (PTW, Germany) chamber를 이용하여 조사야 10$\times$10, SSD 90 cm로 고정시키고 에너지는 6 MV와 15 MV로 변화시켜 5 mm 깊이의 조사야 밖 선량을 측정하였다. 쐐기필터15$^\circ$, 45$^\circ$동적쐐기와 선형가속기에 장착된 동적쐐기의 15$^\circ$, 45$^\circ$를 측정하여 조사야 끝에서 쐐기의 heel부분과 toe부분의 1 cm 되는 지점에서 5 cm 지점까지의 1 cm 간격으로 주변선량을 비교, 분석하였다. 선량은 최대선량지점에 대한 표면에 근접한 5 mm 깊이와 5 cm 깊이의 백분율로 선량값을 얻었다. 결 과: 6 MV 에너지는 동적쐐기가 고정형쐐기보다 조사야 주변 선량이 0.1$\sim$1.4%정도 모두 낮았다. 15 MV 에너지는 조사야에서 근접한 거리에서 동적쐐기의 선량이 0.4$\sim$0.9%정도 높지만 멀어지면서 급격하게 감소하여 동적쐐기가 최대 1.6% 낮게 측정되었다. 경사각 15$^\circ$와 45$^\circ$에서의 선량차이는 크지 않았으며, 동적쐐기는 heel 부분과 toe부분의 선량차이가 없는 반면 고정형쐐기는 에너지가 크고 쐐기 각도가 클수록 heel부분 보다 toe부분의 선량이 2%정도 높게 측정되었다. 결 론: 동적쐐기와 고정형 쐐기가 조사야 내에서는 같은 선량분포를 갖는 반면 조사야 주변에서는 동적쐐기가 고정형쐐기보다 선량이 낮았다. 따라서 동적쐐기를 사용할 경우 치료주위선량을 감소시킬 수 있으므로 치료부위와 근접한 표면에 가까운 주요장기의 선량을 최소화 할 수 있으며, 치료시간도 단축시킬 수 있었다.
