In this paper, an effective numerical analysis method is proposed for calculating dosimetry of the wireless power transfer system operating low-frequency ranges. The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is widely used to analyze bio-electromagnetic field problems, which require high resolution, such as a heterogeneous whole-body voxel human model. However, applying the standard method in the low-frequency band incurs an inordinate number of time steps. We overcome this problem by proposing a modified finite-difference time-domain method which utilizes a quasi-static approximation with the surface equivalence theorem. The analysis results of the simple model by using proposed method are in good agreement with those from a commercial electromagnetic simulator. A simulation of the induced electric fields in a human head voxel model exposed to a wireless power transmission system provides a realistic example of an application of the proposed method. The simulation results of the realistic human model with the proposed method are verified by comparing it with the conventional FDTD method.

Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) is one of the best ways to generate electric power using the solar energy, which is clean and inexhaustible energy resources. The most of BIPV modules have the form of GtoG (Glass to Glass) photovoltaic in building applications. Degradation leading to failure in photovoltaic modules is very important factor in BIPV modules. This paper analyzed the performance of various BIPV modules through outdoor exposure tests. Performance of three BIPV modules(c-Si type, a-Si type and DSSC type) with three installation angles influenced by sun light, outdoor temperature, and wind velocity was monitored and analyzed. As a result, c-Si type BIPV module outperforms other BIPV modules(a-Si type). In terms of power efficiency of the module, the installed angle of $45^{\circ}$ is better than others(90 degree, 0 degree). In addition, more realistic data of various BIPV system performance could be available through the field test and integrated building test. In this study, relationship of the BIPV system is identified module's installation angle, power generation, architectural performance, etc.

The biologic potential, which is different from the piezoelectric signals, relates tooth movement at least in part to changes in bone metaboliosm in bioelectric theory. The purpose of this experiment was to determine wheather the application of half sine-wave pulsed electromagnetic fields (HSPEMF) could increase both the rate and amount of orthodontic tooth movement. Forty-three male Hartley guinea pigs, weighting approximately 255g, were utilized in this study. The animals were 35 days old at the start of the study. Laterally directed orthodontic force was applied to the maxillary central incisors of 40 Hartley guinea pigs (20 experimental, 20 control). According to the amount of orthodontic force (6g, 12g), they were divided into two sub-groups (10 experimental I, 10 experimental II, 10 control I, 10 control II). During the experimental period, experimental animals were placed in plastic animal holders with their heads positioned in an area of uniform electromagnetic field. Control animals were placed in similar plastic holders that did not carry the electric apparatus. The results were as follows : 1. The application of a HSPEMF to the experimental groups significantly increase the final amount of orthodontic tooth movement observed over a 10-day experimental period. 2. The application of a HSPEMF to the experimental groups significantly increase the velocity of orthodontic tooth movement observed over a 10-day experimental period. 3. There was no significant difference in the final amount of orthodontic tooth movement at the fourth day to the eighth day, but there was significant difference in the final amount of orthodontic tooth movement at the nineth, tenth day during a 10-day experimental period. 4. After 10 days of HSPEMF exposure & orthodontic force, the experimental groups demonstrated more osteodasts in the pressure side than control groups.

최근, 휴대전화로부터 복사되는 전자파 노출에 대한 건강 위험성에 관한 국민적 관심이 높아지고 있고, 그에 따라 휴대전화가 전자파 인체보호기준의 적합성 여부를 평가하기 위한 전자파흡수율 측정 방법이 제안되어 왔다. 피시험기기인 휴대전화에 대한 국부 전자파흡수율은 전기장 프로브를 사용하여 모의조직으로 채워진 모의 인체 두부에서 전기장 분포를 측정함으로써 얻어진다. 전자파흡수율 측정에 요소가 되는 전기장 프로브, 모의인체의 형상과 크기, 모의조직의 전기정수 그리고 시험위치 등에 따라 측정값이 달라지므로 전자파흡수율 측정 기준을 설정하기 위해서는 이들 요소에 대한 연구가 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 휴대전화의 시험위치에 따른 전자 파흡수율 변화를 수치해석과 측정을 통해 분석하였으며, 통상 사용위치에서 최악의 조건을 조사하였다. 본 결과를 바탕으로 국내 전자파흡수율 측정 기준의 시험위치로서 접촉위치와 경사위치를 채택하였다.

Background: In Japan, new regulations that revise the dose limit for the lens of the eye (hereafter the lens), operational quantities, and measurement positions for the lens dose were enforced in April 2021. Based on the international safety standards, national guidelines, the results of the Radiation Safety Research Promotion Fund of the Nuclear Regulation Authority, and other studies, the Working Group of Radiation Protection Standardization Committee, the Japan Health Physics Society (JHPS) developed a guideline for radiation dose monitoring for the lens. Materials and Methods: The Working Group of the JHPS discussed the criteria of non-uniform exposure and the management criteria set not to exceed the dose limit for the lens. Results and Discussion: In July 2020, the JHPS guideline was published. The guideline consists of three parts: main text, explanations, and 26 examples. In the questions, the corresponding answers were prepared, and specific examples were provided to enable similar cases to be addressed. Conclusion: With the development of the guideline on radiation dose monitoring of the lens, radiation managers and workers will be able to smoothly comply with revised regulations and optimize radiation protection.

최근 이동 통신 서비스의 증가로 인해 인류는 다양한 전자파에 동시 노출되어 있다. 그러나 전자파의 인체 영향 연구는 주로 단일 주파수에 대해서 행해졌다. 본 논문에서는 다중 주파수의 전자파를 동시에 노출시킬 수 있는 세포 실험 장치를 제작하였다. 세포 실험 장치는 836.5 MHz 주파수의 CDMA(Code Division Multiple Access) 및 1,950 MHz의 WCDMA(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) 주파수의 신호를 동시에 발생시킬 수 있도록 광대역 특성을 갖는 radial transmission line 형으로 구성하였다. 변조된 신호는 증폭기, 디지털 감쇄기, RF 결합기를 통하여 원추형 안테나로 전달된다. SAR(Specific Absorption Rate)값은 광학 온도 프로브를 이용하여 petri dish 내 9개 지점에 대하여 3회 측정한 평균값을 이용하여 측정하였다. 측정된 안테나의 반사 손실은 -15dB 이하였고, 단위 입력 전력당 SAR 평균과 표준 편차는 CDMA 주파수에서 $0.105{\pm}0.019$ W/kg, WCDMA 주파수에서 $0.262{\pm}0.055$ W/kg이었다.

Light management technology is very important for thin film solar cells, which can reduce optical reflection from the surface of thin film solar cells or enhance optical path, increasing the absorption of the incident solar light. Using proper light trapping structures in hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) solar cells, the thickness of absorber layers can be reduced. Instead, the internal electric field in the absorber can be strengthened, which helps to collect photon generated carriers very effectively and to reduce light-induced loss under long-term light exposure. In this work, we introduced a chemical etching technology to make honey-comb textures on glass substrates and analyzed the optical properties for the textured surface such as transmission, reflection and scattering effects. Using ray optics and finite difference time domain method (FDTD) we represented the behaviors of light waves near the etched surfaces of the glass substrates and discussed to obtain haze parameters for the different honey-comb structures. The simulation results showed that high haze values were maintained up to the long wavelength range over 700 nm, and with the proper design of the honey-comb structure, reflection or transmission of the glass substrates can be enhanced, which will be very useful for the multi-junction (tandem or triple junction) thin film a-Si:H solar cells.

Flat panel based digital radiography (DR) systems have recently become useful and important in the field of diagnostic radiology. For DRs with amorphous silicon photosensors, CsI(TI) is normally used as the scintillator, which produces visible light corresponding to the absorbed energy. The visible light photons are converted into an electric signal in the amorphous silicon photodiode. In order to produce good quality images, we need to understand the detailed behavior of DR detectors in radiation. We, therefore, investigated the relationship between DR outputs and X -ray in terms of absorbed energy, using the SPEC-78, X-ray energy spectrum model. We calculated the total filtration of X-ray equipment measuring air exposure and this value was used in the calculation of absorbed energy. The relationship between DR output and the absorbed energy of the X-ray was obtained by matching the absorbed energy with pixel values of real images under various conditions. It was found that the relationship between these two values was almost linear. The results were verified using phantoms made of water and aluminium. The pixel value of the phantom image was estimated and compared with previous results under various conditions. The estimated pixel value coincided with the results, although the effect of scattered photons introduced some errors.

고전압 발/ 변전소의 근무자나 송전선 작업자 및 주변거주자가 전계 노출에 안전해야 함은 중요한 일이다. 본 논문에서는 복잡하고 계산시간이 많이 소요되는 인체의 3차원 유도전류를 계산하기 위해 전압원(송전선 로)의 효과적인 모델링 기법을 사용하여 전압원과 피유도체를 분리하지 않고 직접 3차원 정전용량을 구함으 로써 불평등 전계하의 임의의 3차원 공간상에서도 인체에 미치는 유도전류 해석이 가능한 장접을 갖도록 하 였다. 사례연구로 본 연구에서 제안한 알고리즘을 765 kV급 초고압 송전선로에 적용하여 인체 유도 안전 성을 평가한 결과 765 kV 송전선에서 인체의 단락전류는 인체의 위치에 따라 0.3 mA에서 6.8 mA로 분포 되었다. 특히, 송전선로에서 활선 작업시 단락전류 $I_{sc}$의 크기는 ANSI 허용기준인 5 mA를 념을 수 있어 활 선 작업시 작업자의 전계의 방호 대책을 위해서는 도전물질로 구성된 보호복이 필요함을 알 수 있었다.

가압경수형 원자력발전소 일차계통에서 발생되는 방사성 부식생성물(크러드)은 원자력발전소 작업종사자 피폭의 주요원인이다. 또한, 최근 원자력발전소의 장주기운전 추세에 따라 장기간 노심에 침적된 방사성 부식생성물은 hideout 현상으로 노심의 출력에 영향을 주는 축방향이상출력 (AOA) 현상의 원인이 되고 있다. 크러드의 주요 성분은 마그네타이트, 니켈 페라이트, 코발트 페라이트가 주를 이루며, 이러한 산화물 형태는 강자성의 자기적 성질을 가지고 있다. 따라서, 전자석과 영구자석의 적절한 배치를 통하여 자기장을 발생시켜 크러드를 제거하는 필터 개발을 위해 개념 설계를 하였다. 기존의 필터와 달리 유체의 흐름을 방해하지 않아 압력저하 현상이 발생하지 않고, 연속적으로 사용할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 크러드 제거 기술의 하나로써 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
