본 논문은 공기흡입식 추진기관의 고체 로켓 부스터 분리에 관한 수학적 모델링과 시뮬레이션 기법을 기술하였다. 비행체 및 부스터는 하나의 다물체(multi-body)로 고려하였고 부스터는 단지 비행체의 축 방향으로 움직이는 것으로 가정하였다. 비행체 및 부스터의 동적 운동은 Kane 방법에 의해 모델링 되었다. 다양한 부스터 위치에 따라 전체 시스템에 작용하는 공력은 DATCOM 소프트웨어를 사용하여 산출되었으며 부스터 분리 유효 작용면에 작용하는 내부 분리 압력은 일반적인 기체역학 및 Taylor-MacColl 관계식에 의해 산출되었다. 수치적 해석은 Mathworks사의 Matlab이 사용되었다. 해석 결과에 의하면 부스터 분리 동안 마하수 및 받음각 변화 등은 크지 않는 것으로 나타났으며, 실제 시험 장치를 이용한 부스터 분리 시험이 진행될 경우 자세 각 변화, 흡입 유동 특성 등은 무시할 만한 수치임을 확인할 수 있었다.

수경재배한 미니 파프리카 '뉴라온레드'을 골판지 골판지 박스로 포장하여 저장 시, 온도조건 별(5℃, 10℃, 15℃와 20℃) 저장에 따른 특성 변화를 조사하였다. 일반적으로 파프리카는 10℃에서 저장이나 유통이 적절한 것으로 알려져 있으나, 국내 미니 파프리카는 상온에서 온도관리를 하지 않고 수확후 관리가 이루어지고 있었다. 미니 파프리카 '뉴라온레드'의 외관변화는 저장온도 5℃, 10℃와 15℃에서 비슷한 경향으로 나타나는데, 저장온도 10℃에서 상품성 유지기간이 가장 길었다. 저장온도 20℃에서는 다른 저장온도에서보다 급격한 외관변화로 인해 상품성 감소로 선도를 유지하는 기간이 짧아졌다. 생체중량 변화는 저장온도20℃가 저장온도 5℃~15℃와 차이를 보였으며, 저장기간이 지속될수록 격차가 더 커졌다. 생체중량 변화에서 저장온도 5℃~15℃에서는 유사한 경향을 보였다. 미니 파프리카 저장 중 경도 감소 정도는 온도에 따라 영향을 받아, 20℃에서 가장 커서 경도가 낮아졌으며, 다른 저장온도에서 저장 종료 시 저장온도 10℃에서 다소 높은 경도 유지의 경향을 보였다. Hue angle 변화는 저장초기부터 차이를 인지할 수 있었는데, 저장온도 15℃와 20℃에서 변화폭이 저장온도 5℃와 10℃에서보다 커서, 낮은 수준을 보였다. 그러나 미니 파프리카의 저장온도에 따른 가용성 고형분 함량(SSC) 변화는 저장온도에 따른 영향이 불분명한 것으로 나타났다. 수경재배한 미니 파프리카의 저장온도에 따른 수확후 특성은 높은 저장온도에서 모든 변화량이 크고 선도 감소가 커서, 현행의 상온 유통을 개선한 온도관리가 필요한 것으로 보인다. 다른 저장온도인 15℃와 20℃에서보다 5℃와 10℃에서 품질변화폭이 적어, '뉴라온레드'의 수확후 상품성 유지에 효과적인 관리온도로 판단된다. 본 연구를 통하여 미니 파프리카 '뉴라온레드'의 수확후 관리에 필요한 적정온도를 제시하였으며, 향후 다른 품종으로까지 연구를 확대하여 미니 파프리카의 관리를 일반화된 결과를 제시하여 보편적 관리기술로 정착화가 필요한 것으로 보인다.

Objective : This study aimed to compare the clinical and radiologic outcomes of patients with subaxial cervical injury who underwent anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) with autologous iliac bone graft or polyetheretherketone (PEEK) cages using demineralized bone matrix (DBM). Methods : From January 2005 to December 2010, 70 patients who underwent one-level ACDF with plate fixation for post-traumatic subaxial cervical spinal injury in a single institution were retrospectively investigated. Autologous iliac crest grafts were used in 33 patients (Group I), whereas 37 patients underwent ACDF using a PEEK cage filled with DBM (Group II). Plain radiographs were used to assess bone fusion, interbody height (IBH), segmental angle (SA), overall cervical sagittal alignment (CSA, C2-7 angle), and development of adjacent segmental degeneration (ASD). Clinical outcome was assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS) for pain and Frankel grade. Results : The mean follow-up duration for patients in Group I and Group II was 28.9 and 25.4 months, respectively. All patients from both groups achieved solid fusion during the follow-up period. The IBH and SA of the fused segment and CSA in Group II were better maintained during the follow-up period. Nine patients in Group I and two patients in Group II developed radiologic ASD. There were no statistically significant differences in the VAS score and Frankel grade between the groups. Conclusion : This study showed that PEEK cage filled with DBM, and plate fixation is at least as safe and effective as ACDF using autograft, with good maintenance of cervical alignment. With advantages such as no donor site morbidity and no graft-related complications, PEEK cage filled with DBM, and plate fixation provide a promising surgical option for treating traumatic subaxial cervical spine injuries.

The present work used the efficiency transfer method used to calculate the full energy peak efficiency (FEPE) curves of the (2"*2" & 3"*3") NaI (Tl) detectors based on the effective solid angle subtended between the source and the detector. The study covered the effect of the self attenuation coefficient of the source matrix (with a radius greater than the detector's radius) on the detector efficiency. $^{152}$ An Eu aqueous radioactive source covering the energy range from 121.78 keV up to 1408.01 keV was used. In this study an empirical formula was deduced to calculate the difference between the measured and the calculated efficiencies [without self attenuation] at low and high energy regions. A proper balance between the measured and calculated efficiencies [with self attenuation] was achieved with discrepancies less than 3%, while reaching 39% for calculating values [without self attenuation] due to working with large sources, or for low photon energies.

In this study, we expanded the performance of the existing EXVol code and performed empirical experiments and calculations. A high-resolution gamma spectroscopy system was constructed, and a standard point source and a standard volume source were measured with an HPGe detector with 43.1% relative efficiency. EXVol was verified by quantitative comparison of the detection efficiencies determined by measurements and calculations. To introduce the concept of the detector scanning that occurs in the actual measurement into the EXVol code, a collimator was placed between the source and detector. The detection efficiency was determined in the asymmetric arrangement of the source and detector with a collimator. A collimator made of lead with a diameter of 15 mm and a thickness of 50 mm was installed between the source and the detector to determine the detection efficiency at a specific location. The calculation result was contour plotted so that the distribution of detection efficiency could be visually confirmed. The relative deviation between the measurements and calculations for the coaxial and asymmetric structures was 10%, and that for the collimation structure was 20%. The results of this study can be applied to research using γ-ray measurements.

A basic characterization of uranium samples was performed using gamma- and X-ray spectroscopy. The studied uranium samples were eight types of certified reference materials with $^{235}U$ enrichments in the range of 1-97%, and the measurements were performed over 24 h using a high-resolution and high-purity planar germanium detector. A general peak analysis of the spectrum and the $XK_{\alpha}$ region of the uranium spectra was carried out by using HyperGam and HyperGam-U, respectively. The standard reference sources were used to calibrate the spectroscopy system. To obtain the absolute detection efficiency, an effective solid angle code, EXVol, was run for each sample. Hence, the peak activities and isotopic activities were determined, and then, the total U content and $^{234}U$, $^{235}U$, and $^{238}U$ isotopic contents were determined and compared with those of the certified reference values. A new method to determine the model age based on the ratio of the activities of $^{223}Ra$ and $^{235}U$ in the sample was studied, and the model age was compared with the known true age. In summary, the present study developed a method for basic characterization of uranium samples by nondestructive gamma-ray spectrometry in 24 h and to obtain information on the sample age.

I. 목적 MLC의 단점인 조사영역경계의 요동현상이나, 반음영의 크기를 감소시킬 수 있는 HD270 MLC에 관한 소개와 유용성에 대해 평가하였다. II 대상 및 방법 HD-270 MLC는 PRIMUS(Siemens)의 치료테이블(ZXT) 과 다엽콜리메이터(3D MLC)를 leafs면에 수직방향으로 이동시킴으로써 유효반음영과 조사영역 경계의 요동을 감소시킨다. HD-270 MLC의 효율성과 적당한 resolution을 결정하기 위해 field edge angle(Y축과 이루는 각)이 0도에서 75도까지 15도의 간격으로 된 다각형의 field를 만들고 resolution은 5mm, 3mm, 2mm로 각각의 HD-270 group을 만들어 Siemens사 선형가속기(PRIMUS)의 6MV 광자선을 사용하여 solid phantom에서 SAD 100cm, depth 1.5cm으로 X-Omat film(Kodak)에 60MU로 조사하였다. 조사된 film은 Lumiscan75(LUMISYS)로 스캔해서 RIT113(Radiological Imaging Technology Inc. USA)으로 분석하여 유효반음영과 조사영역 경계의 요동의 변화를 측정하였다. 그리고 치료테이블 움직임의 정확성을 테스트하기 위해 테이블 위에 50Kg의 인체모형팬텀을 놓고 0.001inch의 정밀도를 가진 dial gauge로 가로, 세로, 수직의 세 직각방향으로 ${\pm}5mm,\;{\pm}4mm,\;{\pm}3mm,\;{\pm}2mm$단계별로 측정하였다 III. 결과 Resolution과 field edge angle이 증가할수록 유효반음영과 조사영역 경계의 요동현상은 증가하였다. 그리고 지멘스 ZXT 치료테이블움직임의 오차범위는 ${\pm}1mm$ 이내로 양호하였다. IV. 결론 최근 많이 사용되어지고 있는 다엽콜리메이터의 문제점들을 보완 할 수 있는 HD-270 MLC를 사용함으로써 MLC의 임상적용범위를 보다 넓힐 수 있을 것이다.

To implement the insects' flapping flight for developing flapping MAVs(micro air vehicles), the unsteady flow characteristics of the insects' forward flight is investigated. In this paper, two-dimensional FSI(Fluid-Structure Interaction) simulations are conducted to examine realistic flow features of insects' flapping flight and to examine the flexibility effects of the insect's wing. The unsteady incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with an artificial compressibility method are implemented as the fluid module while the dynamic finite element equations using a direct integration method are employed as the solid module. In order to exchange physical information to each module, the common refinement method is employed as the data transfer method. Also, a simple and efficient dynamic grid deformation technique based on Delaunay graph mapping is used to deform computational grids. Compared to the earlier researches of two-dimensional rigid wing simulations, key physical phenomena and flow patterns such as vortex pairing and vortex staying can still be observed. For example, lift is mainly generated during downstroke motion by high effective angle of attack caused by translation and lagging motion. A large amount of thrust is generated abruptly at the end of upstroke motion. However, the quantitative aspect of flow field is somewhat different. A flexible wing generates more thrust but less lift than a rigid wing. This is because the net force acting on wing surface is split into two directions due to structural flexibility. As a consequence, thrust and propulsive efficiency was enhanced considerably compared to a rigid wing. From these numerical simulations, it is seen that the wing flexibility yields a significant impact on aerodynamic characteristics.

NEXTSat-1 is the next-generation small-size artificial satellite system planed by the Satellite Technology Research Center(SatTReC) in Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology(KAIST). For the control of attitude and transition of the orbit, the system has adopted a RHM(Resisto-jet Head Module), which has a very simple geometry with a reasonable efficiency. An axisymmetric model is devised with two coil-resistance heaters using xenon(Xe) gas, and the minimum required specific impulse is 60 seconds under the thrust more than 30 milli-Newton. To design the module, seven basic parameters should be decided: the nozzle shape, the power distribution of heater, the pressure drop of filter, the diameter of nozzle throat, the slant length and the angle of nozzle, and the size of reservoir, etc. After quasi one-dimensional analysis, a theoretical value of specific impulse is calculated, and the optima of parameters are found out from the baseline with a series of multi-physical numerical simulations based on the compressible Navier-Stokes equations for gas and the heat conduction energy equation for solid. A commercial code, COMSOL Multiphysics is used for the computation with a FEM (finite element method) based numerical scheme. The final values of design parameters indicate 5.8% better performance than those of baseline design after the verification with all the tuned parameters. The present method should be effective to reduce the time cost of trial and error in the development of RHM, the thruster of NEXTSat-1.

Objective : To evaluate the surgical outcomes of ventral interbody grafting and anterior or posterior spinal instrumentation for the treatment of advanced spondylodiscitis with patients who had failed medical management. Methods : A total of 28 patients were evaluated for associated medical illness, detected pathogen, level of involved spine, and perioperative complications. Radiological evaluation including the rate of bony union, segmental Cobb angle, graft- and instrumentation-related complications, and clinical outcomes by mean Frankel scale and VAS score were performed. Results : There are 14 pyogenic spondylodiscitis, 6 postoperative spondylodiscitis, and 8 tuberculous spondylodiscitis. There were 21 males and 7 females. Mean age was 51 years, with a range from 18 to 77. Mean follow-up period was 10.9 months. Associated medical illnesses were 6 diabetes, 3 pulmonary tuberculosis, and 4 chronic liver diseases. Staphylococcus was the most common pathogen isolated (25%), and Mycobacterium tuberculosis was found in 18% of the patients. Operative approaches, either anterior or posterior spinal instrumentation, were done simultaneously or delayed after anterior aggressive debridement, neural decompression, and structural interbody bone grafting. All patients with neurological deficits improved after operation, except only one who died from aggravation as military tuberculosis. Mean Frankel scale was changed from $3.78{\pm}0.78$ preoperatively to $4.78{\pm}0.35$ at final follow up and mean VAS score was improved from $7.43{\pm}0.54$ to $2.07{\pm}1.12$. Solid bone fusion was obtained in all patients except only one patient who died. There was no need for prolongation of duration of antibiotics and no evidence of secondary infection owing to spinal instrumentations. Conclusion : According to these results, debridement and anterior column reconstruction with ventral interbody grafting and instrumentation is effective and safe in patients who had failed medical management and neurological deficits in advanced spondylodiscitis.
