We present spectral characteristics of tidal flat sediments and algal mat that were tested in the Gomso and Saemangum tidal flats, Korea. The objective of this study is to investigate the spectral reflectance and the radar scattering modeling in the tidal flats. Ground truth data obtained in the tidal flats include grain size, soil moisture content and its variation with time, surface roughness, chlorophyll, ground leveling, and field spectral reflectance measurement. The concept of an effective exposed area (EEA) is introduced to accommodate the effect of remnant surface water, and it seriously affects the reflection of short wavelength infrared and microwave. The nin size of 0.0625 mm has been normally used as a critical size of mud and sand discrimination. But we propose here that 0.25 mm is more practical grain size criterion to discriminate by remote sensing. Algal mat is the primary product in tidal flats, and it is found to be very important to understand spectral characteristics for tidal flat remote sensing. We have also conducted radar scattering modeling, and showed L-band HV-polarization would be the most effective combination.

The main sources of the new house syndrome(sometimes it called sick building syndrome) are a concentration of formaldehyde (HCHO) and a concentration of total volatile organic compounds(TVOC). I had field measurements of indoor air quality in the apartment unit at medium-size cities(Y city, C city). I measured indoor air temperature, HCHO concentration in 16 units, TVOC concentration in 6 units and air tightness in 7 units. And I measured outdoor air quality, HCHO concentration and TVOC concentration. Mean concentration of HCHO was $357{\mu}g/m^3$(2006 standard=$120{\mu}g/m^3$), mean concentration of TVOC was $3,092{\mu}g/m^3$ and mean effective air leakage area was 193 cm2. There was a close relation between the indoor air temperature and HCHO concentration, between the indoor air temperature and TVOC concentration. Air tightness also had relation.

An yield monitoring system plays a key role in precision farming. An yield monitoring system and a DGPS were implemented to a widely used domestic combine for yield mapping of a small sized paddy field, and yield mapping algorithms were investigated in this study. The yield variation in the 0.1ha rice paddy field was measured by installing a yield flow sensor and a grain moisture sensor at the end of the clean grain elevator discharging grains into a grain tank. Yield map of the test filed was drawn in a point map and a linear interpolated map based on the result of the field test. The size of a unit yield grid in yield mapping was determined based on the combine traveling speed, effective harvesting width and data storing period. It was possible to construct the yield map of a small sized paddy field.

Tatcher식에 의하여 조직최대선량비와 깊이선량을 6MV X-선의 중심축상에서 측정하였다. 쐐기형 조사야에 있어서 깊이, 조사야 및 쐐기의 두께 등이 증가할수록 깊이선량은 개방 조사야에 비하여 크기가 증가하였다. 그러나 쐐기형 조사야에 있어서 조직산란보정 계수는 개방 조사야에 비하여 그 차이가 $1\%$ 미만이었다. 두 조사야에 있어서 중심축상의 깊이선량백분률의 차이가 발생하는 것은 쐐기에 의해서 X-선이 강화됨을 의미한다. 같은 각도의 쇄기에서 깊이선량백분률과 산란보정계수의 명목쐐기형 조사야와 유효쐐기형 조사야사이의 차이는 없었다. 개방조사야에서 조사야 $6cm{\times}6cm$, 깊이 7cm의 깊이선량백분률은 명목 또는 유효쐐기형 조사야 보다 $3.26\%$가 더 컸다. 그러나 조사야 $(10cm{\times}10cm)$가 커질수록 깊이선량백분률의 차이는 명목 또는 유효쐐기형 조사야보다 더 증가하였다-선량계측차이는 깊이 7cm에서 $3.56\%$, 12cm에서는 $5.30\%$였다 그러므로 심부종양치료시 선량의 계산이나 모니터세팅은 각 쐐기의 깊이 백분선량률과 투과율을 사용하여야 오차를 줄일 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

In the previous work, the effect of blending with two kinds of low density polyethylene (LDPE) on physical and electrical properties have been investigated. From the results, blending with two kinds of LDPE was effective method on changing the morphology of LDPE and improving the high-field characteristics in high temperature region. Especially, it suggested that the F$\_$BImp/ was associated with the changes of the crystal size. In this work, the relationship between the morphology and the high-field characteristics of blended LDPE was discussed. In addition, the physical and electrical properties of blended LDPE with extrusion treatment were investigated. The two groups of specimen were prepared; Group 1 was prepared by passing 1 time through the extruder included in the film-blowing process, and Group 2 was prepared by passing 2 times through the extruder. From the relation between the crystal size which was perpendicular to the (020) plane and the F$\_$BImp/ of blended LDPE, it was confirmed that the F$\_$BImp/ was associated with the changes of crystal size due to the blending. Moreover, the F$\_$BImp/ of blended LDPE in Group 2 was higher than that of blended LDPE in Group 1. The crystal size of the (020) plane became smaller according to the extrusion treatment. These results suggest that the uniform distribution and dispersion of crystalline occurred due to the extrusion treatment and the morphological change due to the extrusion treatment influenced on the electrical properties of blended LDPE.

X선은 X선관 내 음극측 전자(electron)를 빠른 속도로 가속시킨 다음 진행하는 전자의 흐름을 저지극(target)에서 차단시킬 때 에너지의 변환을 일으켜 발생한다. 가속된 고속의 전자가 저지면에 충돌하는 실제면적을 실초점(actual focal spot)이라 하고, 실초점의 크기를 X선이 나오는 방향인 중심선(central ray)측에서 관측할 경우 축소되어 작게 보이는데 이때의 초점을 실효초점(effective focal spot)이라고 한다. X선관 방사각에 따라 음극 측의 강도가 양극 측 보다 높게 나타나 X선 강도가 균등하지 않다. 이러한 효과를 경사각 효과(heel effect)라고 하며, 경사각 효과로 인하여 환자가 받는 피폭의 정도는 양극의 각도, 즉 실효초점의 크기에 따라 달라지게 된다. 본 논문에서는 실효초점의 크기와 그에 따른 환자 피폭선량의 상관관계를 알아보고 실효초점의 크기에 따른 균질선량 분포를 위한 효과적인 조사야를 제시하고자 한다. 결론적으로 초점크기에 따라서 평균적으로 -8cm ~ 0cm 범위에서 효과적인 조사야 범위를 찾을 수 있었고, 평균 선량률은 0.019 R/min이 나왔다. 이 범위를 이용하면 환자에게는 적은 피폭선량으로 균등한 흑화도 및 해상력을 가진 영상을 얻을 수 있을 것이다.

We report on a simple and robust route to the spontaneous assembly of well-ordered magnetic nanoparticle superstructures by irreversible evaporation of a sessile single droplet of a mixture of a ferrofluid (FF) and a nonmagnetic fluid (NF). The resulting assembled superstructures are seen to form well-packed, vertically arranged columns with diameters of $5{\sim}0.7{\mu}m$, interparticle spacings of $9{\sim}2{\mu}m$, and heights of $1.3{\sim}3{\mu}m$ The assembled superstructures are strongly dependent on both the magnitude of magnetic field and the mixing ratio of the mixture. As the magnitude of the externally applied magnetic field and the mixing ratio of the mixture increase gradually, the size and interspacing of the magnetic nanoparticle aggregations decrease. Without an externally applied magnetic field, featureless patterns are observed for the ${\gamma}-Fe_3O_4$ nanoparticle aggregations. The proposed approach may lead to a versatile, cost-effective, fast, and scalable fabrication process based on the field-induced self-assembly of magnetic nanoparticles.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been considered as one of the promising candidate for next-generation field emitters because of their unique properties, such as high field enhancement factor, good mechanical strength, and excellent chemical stability. So far, a lot of researchers have been interested in field emission properties of CNT itself. However, it is necessary to study proper field emitter shapes, as well as the fundamental properties of CNTs, to apply CNTs to real devices. For example, specific applications, such as x-ray sources, e-beam sources, and microwave amplifiers, need to get a focused electron beam from the field emitters. If we use planar-typed CNT emitters, it will need several focal lenses to reduce a size of electron beam. On the other hand, the point-typed CNT emitters can be an effective way to get a focused electron beam using a simple technique. Here, we introduce a fabrication of CNT fibers with nanoscale point tips which can be used as a point-typed emitter. The emitter made by the CNT fibers showed very low turn-on electric field, high current density, and large enhancement factor. In addition, it showed stable emission current during long operation period. The high performance of CNT point emitter indicated the potential e-beam source candidate for the applications requiring small electron beam size.

화강암, 사암, 편마암으로 구성된 21개 암석시료를 대상으로 열전도도를 측정하고, XRD 정량분석을 통해 구성광물의 조성을 파악하였으며, 구조모델 이용하여 석영 함량 및 광물입자의 크기가 암석의 유효열전도도에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 측정된 열전도도는 석영 함량과 높은 상관성을 보여 ($R^2=0.75$), 석영 함량으로부터 열전도도를 추정할 수 있는 선형회귀모형을 제시하였다. 화강암 및 변성암 일부 시료의 경우 유사한 석영 함량에도 불구하고 열전도도가 크게 다른 값을 보였는데, 이는 주로 광물업자의 크기 변화와 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 구조모델을 통한 분석 결과 입자의 크기가 작은 경우 열전도도는 scries와 EMT모델의 중간 영역에 해당하는 값을 보이며, 입자가 커지면서 EMT모델, ME모델을 거쳐 Parallel모델에 근접하게 변화하였다. 이러한 열전달 구조모델의 변화는 입자의 크기에 따른 열전도도 변화가 3 mm 두께의 원반시편을 이용하는 실험 규모와 관련이 있음을 시사한다. 즉, 얇은 원반 시료를 이용하여 암석의 열전도도를 측정할 경우 규모효과에 의하여 실제 지반의 값보다 과대평가될 가능성이 높으며, 특히 광물 입자의 크기가 클수록 이러한 오차는 더 커질 것으로 예상된다. 따라서 지열과 관련된 다양한 해석 모델에서 실험실 측정값을 실제 현장규모에서의 대표값으로 사용할 경우 모델의 예측 신뢰도에 영향을 줄 수 있는 요인으로 작용할 수 있다.

This study analyzed imaging conditions and exposure index through clinical information collection and dose calculation programs in coronary angiography examinations. Through this, we aim to analyze the effective dose according to examination conditions and provide basic data for dose optimization. In this study, ALARA(As Low As Reasonably Achievable)-F(Fluoroscopy), a program for evaluating the radiation dose of patients and the collected clinical data, was used. First, analysis of imaging conditions and exposure index was performed based on the data of the dose report generated after coronary angiography. Second, after evaluating organ dose according to 9 imaging directions during coronary angiography, with the LAO fixed at 30°, dose evaluation was performed according to tube voltage, tube current, number of frames, focus-skin distance, and field size. Third, the effective dose for each organ was calculated according to the tissue weighting factors presented in ICRP(International Commission on Radiological Protection) recommendations. As a result, the average sum of air kerma during coronary angiography was evaluated as 234.0±112.1 mGy, the dose-area product was 25.9±13.0 Gy·cm², and the total fluoroscopy time was 2.5±2.0 min. Also, the organ dose tended to increase as the tube voltage, milliampere-second, number of frames, and irradiation range increased, whereas the organ dose decreased as the FSD increased. Therefore, medical radiation exposure to patients can be reduced by selecting the optimal tube voltage and field size during coronary angiography, maximizing the focal-skin distance, using the lowest tube current possible, and reducing the number of frames.
