The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of menstration among the influencing factors for the GnRH agonist (as G: depot goserelin 3.6 mg) therapy prior to the planned myomectomy for women who wanted to preserve their fertility. We reviewed total 48 patients. with the G therapy prior to the planned myomectomy from August 1st, 2005 to August 31st, 2006. The patients were classified by the G group (n=28) and the immediate surgery (as S) group (n=20). The G group (n=19) underwent the G therapy for 3 month courses, and then the efficacy was evaluated by menstruation and the myoma volumes. In the G group (n=19), therapy was effective, and the mean age was $32.4{\pm}6.5$ years. After the completion of G therapy, the mean volume of the myoma by ultrasonography was reduced to $85.2{\pm}71.2cm^3$ comparing of $430.6{\pm}248.8cm^3$ at first visit. The 11 patients had menstruation and the rest 8 patients with amenorrhea had less reduced volume of the myoma ($124.05{\pm}79.85cm^3\;v.s.\;329.41{\pm}234.0cm^3$ p<0.05). In the immediate S group, the myoma volumes by sonography was also checked for accuracy (${\alpha}=1.0$). As the result, the initial myoma volume had the positive correlations to the effectiveness with G therapy. However, the occurrence and frequency of the menstruation during the G therapy had a negative correlation. In conclusion, the use of G prior to the planned myomectomy was effective in reducing myoma volume and the menstruation.

A Mixed Volume and Boundary Integral Equation Method is applied for the effective analysis of elastic wave scattering problems and plane elastostatic problems in unbounded solids containing general anisotropic inclusions and voids or isotropic inclusions. It should be noted that this newly developed numerical method does not require the Green's function for anisotropic inclusions to solve this class of problems since only Green's function for the unbounded isotropic matrix is involved in their formulation for the analysis. This new method can also be applied to general two-dimensional elastodynamic and elastostatic problems with arbitrary shapes and number of anisotropic inclusions and voids or isotropic inclusions. In the formulation of this method, the continuity condition at each interface is automatically satisfied, and in contrast to finite element methods, where the full domain needs to be discretized, this method requires discretization of the inclusions only. Finally, this method takes full advantage of the pre- and post-processing capabilities developed in FEM and BIEM. Through the analysis of plane elastostatic problems in unbounded isotropic matrix with orthotropic inclusions and voids or isotropic inclusions, and the analysis of plane wave scattering problems in unbounded isotropic matrix with isotropic inclusions and voids, it will be established that this new method is very accurate and effective for solving plane wave scattering problems and plane elastic problems in unbounded solids containing general anisotropic inclusions and voids/cracks or isotropic inclusions.

Effective elastic constants of bone-like biocomposites are investigated numerically. The bone-like materials are composed of strong layers and weak layers, and hierarchically structured. The unit cell model is employed to obtain the effective elastic constants. The effective anisotropic elastic constants of bone-like composites are obtained by using the potential energy method and finite element analysis. The effects of the Poisson's ratio, elastic modulus, hierarchical level, volume fraction and aspect ratio of the strong layer composed of the composites on the effective elastic constants are discussed.

최근 선형가속기를 이용한 방사선치료는 세기조절방사선치료, 정위적방사선치료 등이 널리 사용되고 있다. 이러한 방사선 치료기법은 일반적으로 역방향치료계획을 사용함으로써 소조사면을 제외하기 어렵다. 그러므로 소조사면의 선량특성에 관한 정확한 측정이 필요하다. 따라서 유효체적이 서로 다른 검출기를 이용하여 소조사면에 대한 깊이선량백분율, 빔측면도, 그리고 선량출력계수를 측정하여 각 검출기의 선량특성 평가하고자 하였다. 실험 결과 X-선 6 MV에너지에 대한 빔선질($PDD_{20}/PDD_{10}$)은 $10{\times}10cm^2$에서 Diode 검출기는 Pinpoint 검출기에 비해 2.4%로 높았다. 모든 조사면에서 유효체적이 작은 Diode 검출기가 다른 검출기들과 50%이상 작은 반음영을 보여 공간분해능이 우수한 것으로 평가되었다. 출력선량계수는 조사면 $2{\times}2cm^2$에서 Semiflex 검출기 다른 검출기에 비해 2%정도 적게 측정되기 시작해서 조사면 $1{\times}1cm^2$에서는 20%정도 차이를 보이며 유효성이 없는 것으로 판단된다. 조사면 $1{\times}1cm^2$에서 Diode 검출기와 Pinpoint 검출기의 측정값은 13%정도 차이를 보였다. 조사면 $3{\times}3cm^2$이하에서는 검출기의 유효체적에 따른 출력선량계수의 차이가 크므로 가능한 유효체적이 작은 검출기를 사용해야 될 것으로 사료된다.

3차원 공간에 존재하는 반투명 물질을 물리 기반으로 렌더링하기 위해서 빛의 진행 경로를 작은 구간으로 나눈 후, 각 구간에 대하여 빛의 직접적인 영향, 산란으로 인한 영향, 반투명 물질안에서의 소멸 및 물질의 발광으로 인한 영향 등을 고려한 빛의 에너지를 계산하여 누적하는 방식을 사용한다. 이중 빛의 산란은 연속 공간에서 매우 복잡한 방식으로 작용하기 때문에 이의 시뮬레이션을 위해서 상당한 노력이 필요하다. 빛의 산란을 효과적으로 계산하기 위해 여러근사 방법들이 고안되었는데, 그중 볼륨 포톤매핑 기법은 빛이 간섭매체 내부에서 산란되는 효과를 단순화된 시뮬레이션으로 미리 계산하여두고 이를 검색해 효율적으로 렌더링 하는 방법을 사용한다. 이 방법은 주변에서 검색한 시뮬레이션 정보를 이용하기 위해서 밀도추정방법을 적용하는데, 시뮬레이션자료의분포에 따라서 검색에 따른 편차가 있을 수 있게된다. 또한 시뮬레이션된 자료만을 이용하여 산란효과를 반영하기 때문에 고밀도이지만 시뮬레이션이 충분하지 못한 위치에 대해서 방향성 있는 위상함수에 대한 특징을 잘 표현하지 못한다는 문제가있다. 이러한 문제를해결하고자 하는 노력의 일환으로, 본 논문에서는 입자형태로 시뮬레이션된 볼륨데이터에 대해 밀도추정방법의 하나인 커널스무딩을 이용하여 표현한 산란효과를 반투명물질 자료구조에 저장하고 이를 복원하는 방법을 제안하고, 실험결과 분석을 통하여 장단점을 분석한다.

Shell sand is widely used to make a complex shape castings due to its good collapsibility. When molten metal is poured into the mold, various gases are generated by the thermal decomposition of binder in the shell core. Casting defects such as blow hole and blister come from these gases. If it is possible to predict the evolution of gas quantitatively, it may provide effective solutions for minimizing the casting defects. To examine the gas evolution by shell core quantitatively, casting experiment and calculation were carried out. Gas pressure and gas volume evolved by shell core were measured in the experiment, and temperature distribution in the shell core was obtained by heat transfer analysis. From the result above, prediction on the gas volume evolved during pouring was tried. As forming pressure of the shell core increased and forming temperature decreased, the gas evolution increased. There was a close relationship between the calculated gas volume evolved and the measured one.

The three-dimensional numerical analysis for in-cylinder flow of four-valve engine without intake port has been successfully computed. These computations have been performed using technique of the general coordinate transformation based on the finite-volume method and body-fitted non-orthogenal grids using staggered control volume and covariant variable as dependent one. Computations are started at intake valve opening and are carried through top-dead-center of compression. A k-$\varepsilon$model is used to represent turbulent transport of momentum. The principal study is the evolution of interaction between mean flow and turbulence and of the role of swirl and tumble in generating near TDC turbulence. Results for three different inlet flow configuration are presented. From these results, complex flow pattern may be effective for promoting combustion in spark-ignition engines and kinetic energy of mean flow near TDC is well converted into turbulent kinetic energy.

This research was conducted to suggest some directions for desirable urban green space planning through 1) establishing a new classification system by examining the existing concept, problems and characteristics of green space and 2) defining the essence of green space environment and finding some analytical and evaluative methods through a clear establishment of functions, indicators of green space. In the research, measurements of the amount of green space was accompanied with measurements of green covered space, green volume, and the structure of greenery within the frame of vision. As result, three-dimensional measurement was possible, three-dimensional measurement was possible, which turned out to be more effective than the existing 2-dimensional measuring method. It is found that the ratio of green covered space is to proportional to the ratio of green volume in this study. Therefore in green space planning process it is desirable to consider the ratio of green volume all together.

This paper presents a new, efficient hybrid photonic-plasmonic structure. The proposed structure efficiently and with very high accuracy combines the resonant mode of a low-mode-volume photonic-crystal nanocavity with a bowtie nanoantenna's plasmonic resonance. The resulting enormous enhancement of light intensity of about $1.1{\times}10^7$ in the gap region of the bowtie nanoantenna, due to the effective optical-resonance combination, is realized by subtle optimization of the nanocavity's optical characteristics. This coupled structure holds great promise for many applications relying on strong confinement and enhancement of optical field in nanoscale volumes, including antennas (communication and information), optical trapping and manipulation, sensors, data storage, nonlinear optics, and lasers.
