The purpose of this study was to improve the accuracy of effective atomic number (EAN) and relative electron density (RED) using a polynomial-based calibration method using dual-energy CT images. A phantom composed of 11 tissue-equivalent materials was acquired with dual-energy CT to obtain low- and high-energy images. Using the acquired dual-energy images, the ratio of attenuation of low- and high-energy images for EAN was calibrated based on Stoichiometric, Quadratic, Cubic, Quartic polynomials. EAN and RED were extracted using each calibration method. As a result of the experiment, the average error of EAN using Cubic polynomial-based calibration was minimum. Even in the RED image extracted using EAN, the error of the Cubic polynomial-based RED was minimum. Cubic polynomial-based calibration contributes to improving the accuracy of EAN and RED, and would like to contribute to accurate diagnosis of lesions in CT examinations or quantification of various materials in the human body.

It is well known that uncertainty associated with soil sampling is bigger than that with analysis. In this research, uncertainties for soil sampling when assessing TPH and BTEX concentration in soils were quantified based on actual field data. It is almost impossible to assess exact contamination of the site regardless how carefully devised for sampling. Uncertainties associated with sample reduction for further chemical analysis were quantified approximately 10 times larger than those associated with core sampling on site. Bigger uncertainties occur when contamination level is low, sample quantity is small, and soil particle is coarse. To minimize the uncertainties on field, homogenization of soil sample is necessary and its procedures are proposed in this research as well.

In this work, analytical bias arising from the gas chromatographic determination of sulfur compounds was evaluated by the application of direct loop injection method to the GC/PFPD detection of four sulfur compounds including H$_{2}$S, CH$_{3}$SH, DMS, and DMDS. For the proper evaluation of analytical uncertainties involved in GC calibration, we employed two comparative techniques of calibration at fxed concentration injection (CFCI) vs calibration at fixed volume injection (CFVI) method. The results of our study indicate that CFCI method exhibits very poor sensitivity due to the matrix effect with varying injection volumes. On the other hand, as CFVI method overcomes such limitation, it can be used to obtain very accurate quantification of S compounds at their high concentration levels above a few to a few tens ppb.

Recent mechatronics technology is the most appropriate high technology in the agricultural application to save repetitious labor. Cow's body parameters were measured by traditional several measurer. Image processing technology was used to measure automatically their parameters to reduce lots of labor and time. The parameters were measured form a small model cow, which is easily measured, instead to a real cow. The image processing system designed and built for this project was composed of a Pentium PC, and TV frame card two cameras which were located on side and top of model cow. 11 parameters of cow's body were measured and the error between real data and the data by image processing was less than 10%. Based on the results of this research the parameters of a real cow could be measured in the future.

This study presents method for self-calibration of the SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope) stereo image using the standard microprobe with same grid pattern and using parallel and central perspective projection equation. Result showed that parallel projection method is more suitable for standard microprobe. The maximum error of 3D coordinates acquired by this method did not exceed 5 $\mu\textrm{m}$, and DSM(Digital Surface Model) for three dimensional measurement of the rock sample was generated by the digital photogrammetry. This result can be used for quantification of micro scale change of shape and analysis of the micro morphology of rock due to weathering.

Vehicle suspension systems are parts which effect performances of a vehicle such as ride quality, handing characteristics, straight performance and steering effort etc. Kinematic design is a decision of joints` position for straight performance and steering effort. But, when vehicle is rebounding and bumping, chang of joints` displacement is nonlinear and a surmise of straight performance and steering effort at that joints` position is difficult. So design of suspension systems is done through a inefficient method of tried-and-error depending on designer`s experience. In this paper, kinematic design of suspension systems was done through the optimal design using a genetic algorithm. For this optimal design, the function for quantification of straight performance and steering effort was made, and the kinematic design method of suspension systems having this function as the objective function was suggested.

In this paper, we discuss the quantification of Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) thermal stabilization which is needed in optical phase shaped binary transmission (PSBT) links. Considering the thermo-optic and thermal expansion effects, we revisit the analytical expression for the thermal drift (GHz/$^{\circ}C$) of the MZI center frequency (denoted here by the 'MZI spectral drift'). An MZI is then used in an experimental transmission system using the optical PSBT format. We study the effect of spectral MZI drift by using a thermally stabilized interferometer and applying a frequency shift to the optical carrier. By using the thermal drift coefficient of the MZI, we find that to ensure low bit error rate fluctuations due to the MZI drift, the thermal stabilization of the device must have an accuracy of $0.5^{\circ}C$.

It is a common tool to use alphanumeric displays on CRT for documentation, search, and communication. So, it is very important to design ergonomic displays for enhancing user performance. This paper concerns with a method of quantifing the four VDT design parameters such as total density, local density, grouping and layout complexity. A case study to demonstrate the pocedure of quantifing parameters and a comparative analysis between the ready made and the newly designed displays are provided in this paper. Concludingly, ergonomic displays which were designed in accordance with the scientific procedure were much more better than the ready made exampled displays in both of processing time and error rate.

Jaw crusher is a device that breaks rock collected from mines or quarries to produce aggregates of the size desired by user. A representative method for measuring load is to measure them by attaching force sensors directly to the part where the load is generated. However, the direct method has many limitations such as high-impact loads generation in equipment or space constraints, sensor capacities and costs. Therefore, Transfer Path Analysis (TPA) was used to indirectly measure impact loads by attaching acceleration sensors. In this study, both direct and TPA methods were used to measure the impact load of Jaw crusher. This study finally quantifies the impact of the load generated by the Jaw crusher using direct method and TPA method, and comparing the impact load measured calculated the derive the error rate.

후 컬럼 동위원소 희석법(PCID, post column isotope dilution)을 HPLC-ICP/MS (high performance liquid chromatography-inductively coupled plasma/mass spectrometry)에 적용한 정량법에서 내부 표준물을 동시에 사용하여 정확도와 정밀도를 개선하였다. 전통적인 여러 정량법과 후 컬럼 동위원소 희석법을 비교하여 볼 때에 PCID의 경우에 컬럼내에서 발생하는 오차가 가장 큰 요인으로 작용하였음을 알 수 있었다. PCID에서 내부 표준물을 사용하여 컬럼내에서의 손실에 대한 오차를 효과적으로 보정하고 정확도와 정밀도를 개선할 수 있었다. 셀레늄 화학종인 SeMet을 시료로 사용하고 내부 표준물로 MeSecys 또는 $Se^{4+}$를 이용한 결과, 사용하지 않은 경우와 비교하면 상대오차는 각 각 31%와 13%에서 모두 1% 대로 낮아져 정확도가 크게 개선되었으며, 상대 표준편차는 5.1%와 6.9%에서 각각 1.5%와 0.2%로 정밀도 또한 크게 개선되었다. PCID에서 내부 표준물을 사용하였을 때의 정량분석법의 장점을 다른 분석법과 비교 토의하였다.
