CR과 DR 장비에서 팬텀을 이용하여 선량과 노출지수(exposure index, EI)의 변화를 관찰하고 처리된 영상에서 NSR(noise to signal ratio)과 CNR (contrast to noise ratio)을 측정하여 디지털 시스템에서 방사선량을 최적화하기 위한 인자들 간의 상관관계를 알아보고자 하였다. EI와 입사표면선량(entrance surface dose, ESD)는 CR과 DR 장비에서 모두 주어진 선량의 증가에 따라 비례하여 증가하였다. 적정범위 내 EI 산출시 CR의 경우 DR 보다 더 많은 선량이 요구되었으나 두 시스템에서 모두 EI 지표는 노출인자인 kVp, mAs의 증가에 대해 선형으로 비례하여 증가하였다. 특히, 검출기 효율이 우수한 DR 시스템에서는 선량 변화에 대해 더 안정된 감도를 나타내었고, 최소의 선량증가에도 영상의 유용한 대조도를 형성하여 화질의 향상에 쉽게 도달할 수 있었다. 이는 검출기 흡수선량과 밀접한 관련이 있는 EI 지표의 정확성을 예측 가능하게 하였다. EI의 물리적 특징과 영상평가를 위한 NSR 측정은 DR 시스템에서 CR 보다 더 낮은 NSR이 나타났으며 CR에서는 6 mAs이상의 관전류에서는 관전압의 값에 따른 영향이 상대적으로 적었다. 본 연구 결론은 디지털 시스템 검출기의 흡수선량 측정의 지표인 EI는 노출인자와 선형비례관계에 있었고 EI가 제조사에서 제공한 범위 내에 존재할 때 그 EI 지표가 우수할수록 최적의 영상화질을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 디지털 방사선 영상 기술에서 EI의 물리적 특징의 활용은 실제 임상에서 영상의 화질향상에 도움을 주고 검출기의 품질관리를 통하여 환자의 불필요한 피폭선량을 줄이는 데 많은 기여를 할 수 있을 것이다.

기존의 RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) 기반 냉동창고 시스템에서는 cold room 입구에 RFID 리더기를 설치하여 물품이 인식될 때 단지 그곳에 적재되는 것으로 인식하였다. 그러나 이러한 방법으로는 다양한 상황에서 물품의 적재위치 인식에 오류가 발생하게 된다. 냉동창고에서는 물품 보관을 하는 cold room의 안팎 온도차이로 인해 물품의 적재위치 오류는 물품의 변질을 가져오게 하므로 실시간 정확한 위치를 파악하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 2대의 RFID 리더기가 설치된 지게차와 천정태그를 이용하여 냉동창고 관리시스템에서 물품의 적재위치 오류를 해결하기 위한 방안을 제시한다. 지게차에 설치된 2개의 RFID 리더기는 각각 천장에 부착된 태그로부터 위치데이터와 지게차에 적재된 물품데이터를 획득한다. 2개의 리더기로부터 수집된 데이터를 분석하여 물품의 입/출고 상황정보와 물품의 이동경로정보를 실시간으로 모니터링 할 수 있다. 이를 통해 냉동창고의 물품보관에 대한 효율성을 높일 수 있게 한다.

Objectives: This study aims at decreasing spatial dose rate through work improvement whilst spatial dose rate is the cause of increasing personal exposure dose which occurs in the process of handling radioisotope. Methods: From February 2013 until July 2013, divided into "before" and "after" the improvement, spatial dose rate in laboratory of nuclear medicine was measured in gamma image room, PET/CT-1 image room, and PET/CT-2 image room as its locations. The measurement time was 08:00, 12:00 and 17:00, and SPSS 21.0 USA was opted for its statistical analysis. Result: The spatial dose rate at distribution worktable, injection table, the entrance to the distribution room, and radioisotope storage box, which had showed high spatial dose rate, decreased by more than 43.7% a monthly average. The distribution worktable, that had showed the highest spatial dose rate in PET/CT-1 image room, dropped the rate to 42.3% as of July. The injection table and distribution worktable in the PET/CT-2 image room also showed the decline of spatial dose rate to 89% and 64.4%, respectively. Conclusion: By improving distribution process and introducing proper radiation shielding material, we were able to drop the spatial dose rate substantially at distribution worktable, injection table, and nuclide storage box. However, taking into account of steadily increasing amount of radioisotope used, strengthening radiation related regulations, and safe utilization of radioisotope, the process of system improvement needs to be maintained through continuous monitoring.

This study focuses on the Pyungtak-Eumsung Highway development project. It considers the ecological factors and status of the site and its surrounding area. The study site is a four-way highway with a width of 23.4m and a length of 5.7km that spans from Hyungok-ri, Anseong City, Kyeonggi Province to Jukhyun-ri, Jincheon-gun, Chungbuk Province. The objective of the plan is "the establishment of an eco-road in harmony with nature." The plan is divided into five detailed goals: 1) restoration of river morphology and ecosystem through ecological planning; 2) establishment of wet biotopes; 3) construction of ecological corridors; 4) restoration of damaged forest ecosystems; and 5) ecological restoration of the roadside slopes that are linked with the surrounding forest. A master plan has been developed based on the detailed goals. The master plan involves: 1) establishment of a natural river, wet biotopes, and ecological corridors that facilitate the movement of amphibians, wild fowls, mammalians and fish; 2) development of a planting plan for the visitor center, the tunnel entrance, and soundproof banks; and 3) the presentation of a planting model for restoring roadside slopes that are connected to the surrounding forest. The eco-road plan needs to entail ecological conservation and restoration plans. In addition, a monitoring plan for ecological corridors and habitats should be included in the comprehensive plans, along with the continuous development of environmentally friendly technologies.

Rice world production is affected due to the growing impact of diseases such as bacterial panicle blight, produced by Burkholderia glumae. The pathogen-induced symptoms include seedling rot, grain rot and leafsheath browning in rice plants. It is currently recognized the entrance of this pathogen to the plant, from infected seeds and from environmental sources of the microorganism. However, it is still not fully elucidated the dynamics and permanence of the pathogen in the plant, from its entry until the development of disease symptoms in seedlings or panicles. In this work it was evaluated the infection of B. glumae rice plants, starting from inoculated seeds and substrates, and its subsequent monitoring after infection. Various organs of the plant during the vegetative stage and until the beginning of the reproductive stage, were evaluated. In both inoculation models, the bacteria was maintained in the plant as an endophyte between $1{\times}10^1$ and $1{\times}10^5cfu$ of B. $glumae.g^{-1}$ of plant throughout the vegetative stage. An increase of bacterial population towards initiation of the panicle was observed, and in the maturity of the grain, an endophyte population was identified in the flag leaf at $1{\times}10^6cfu$ of B. $glumae.g^{-1}$ fresh weight of rice plant, conducting towards the symptoms of bacterial panicle blight. The results found, suggest that B. glumae in rice plants developed from infected seeds or from the substrate, can colonize seedlings, establishing and maintaining a bacterial population over time, using rice plants as habitat to survive endophyticly until formation of bacterial panicle blight symptoms.

The purpose of this study is to interpret Landscape of Naeap Village which still preserves the Confucian culture and the traditional clans among the ideally settled villages mentioned in Joong Hwan Lee's "Taengniji" and "Joseon's Fengsui" from the time of Japanese Imperial Rule, from CPTED principles. The following are the findings of this study: First, in terms of access control and zoning, Naeap Village was controlling access from the outside with the natural environment of Banbyeoncheon River and the hills surrounding the village, the artificial environment of human-scale walls around the head house and the dead ends, and the reformation by the Confucian ideologies. Naeap Village, in particular, is prominently configured by the hierarchy of zones; the Gaehosong pine trees, Gyeongpodae, and Naeapssu by the entrance to the village are considered the village itself and the landscapes and valleys are managed by the head house. Second, the Confucian culture across the village, the traditional vegetation method that does not hide the visibility, and the workers in the farms allow natural monitoring. The surrounding visibility is also applied to the spirit of mutual cooperation in the farming society, the culture of commoners at the common well and laundry site, and the culture of ruling class at the towers and pavilions. Third, Traditional villages show the efforts to preserve and maintain the villages with the village rules, the organizational decrees of the clan, and active response to national disasters.
