This study aimed to evaluate and verify a process for correcting the extended source-to-imager distance (SID) in portal dosimetry (PD). In this study, eight treatment plans (four volumetric modulated arc therapy and four intensity-modulated radiation therapy plans) at different treatment sites and beam energies were selected for measurement. A Varian PD system with portal dose image prediction (PDIP) was used for the measurement and verification. To verify the integrity of the plan, independent measurements were performed with the MapCHECK device. The predicted and measured fluence were evaluated using the gamma passing rate. The output ratio was defined as the ratio of the absolute dose of the reference SID (100 cm) to that of each SID (120 cm or 140 cm). The measured fluence for each SID was absolutely and relatively compared. The average SID output ratios were 0.687 and 0.518 for 120 SID and 140 SID, respectively; the ratio showed less than 1% agreement with the calculation obtained by using the inverse square law. The resolution of the acquired EPIDs were 0.336, 0.280, and 0.240 for 100, 120, and 140 SID, respectively. The gamma passing rates with PD and MapCHECK exceeded 98% for all treatment plans and SIDs. When autoalignment was performed in PD, the X-offset showed no change, and the Y-offset decreased with increasing SID. The PD-generated PDIP can be used for extended SID without additional correction.

Embedded products are becoming richer in features. Simulation tools facilitate low-costs and the efficient development of embedded systems. SID is an open source simulation software that includes a library of components for modeling hardware and software components. SID components were originally written using C/C++ and Tcl/Tk. Tcl/Tk has mainly been used for GUI simulation in the SID system. However, Tcl/Tk components are hampered by low performance, and GUI development using Tcl/Tk also has poor flexibility. Therefore, it would be desirable to use a more advanced programming language, such as Java, to provide simulations of cutting-edge products with rich graphics. Here, we describe the development of the Java Bridge Module as a middleware that will enable the use of Java Components in SID. We also extended the low-level SID API to Java. In addition, we have added classes that contain default implementations of the API. These classes are intended to ensure the compatibility and simplicity of SID components in Java.

In this paper, we present recursive algorithms for state space model identification using subspace extraction via Schur complement. It is shown that an estimate of the extended observability matrix can be obtained by subspace extraction via Schur complement. A relationship between the least squares residual and the Schur complement matrix obtained from input-output data is shown, and the recursive algorithms for the subspace-based state-space model identification (4SID) methods are developed. We also proposed the above algorithm for an instrumental variable (IV) based 4SID method. Finally, a numerical example of the application of the algorithms is illustrated.

본 연구는 DR system에서 Chest PA 검사 시 일반적으로 적용되는 SID(180 cm)가 실제 심장크기 및 심흉비를 묘사하는데 적합한 거리인지 고찰해보고, 장비가 지닌 기하학적 원인이 영상에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 한다. 자체 제작한 Chest phantom과 XGEO-GC80, INNOVISION-SH, UD150B-40 장비에 CXDI-40EG detector를 조합한 X선 발생장치를 이용하였다. 실험방법은 SID를 180 cm로 고정 후 OID를 0, 75, 83 mm로 변화시키며 영상을 획득하였다. 영상은 Centricity Radiography RA1000 PACS system에서 측정하였다. 통계프로그램은 SPSS(Version 22.0, SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA)를 사용하였고, p-value는 0.05 이하를 통계적으로 유의한 것으로 평가하였다. OID 0 mm에서 세 장비 모두 팬텀의 실제 CS, BS 보다 약 2.7~3.5 mm 정도 확대되었고, 계산된 확대율과 비교해 보았을 때 1.6~2.8% 확대되었다. OID 75 mm와 OID 83 mm에서는 6~8 mm 범위에서 CS와 BS가 확대되었다. 계산된 값과 비교했을 때 측정된 값은 6.1~7.9% 확대되었다. OID 변화에 따른 CS와 BS는 각 그룹간에 통계적으로 유의한 차이(p<0.05)를 보였으며, 사후분석에서는 OID 0 mm 그룹만 독립적인 그룹으로 나타났고, 75 mm와 83 mm는 동일한 그룹으로 분리되었다. 하지만 OID 변화에 따라서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었으며(p >0.05), 사후 분석에서도 모두 같은 그룹으로 나타났다. DR system에서 Chest PA 검사 시 일반적으로 이용되고 있는 SID에서 검사하는 경우 심장의 크기는 실제 크기보다 6~8 mm크게 나타나며 이는 실제 이론적인 값보다 6.1~7.9% 확대되어 나타났다.

This work presents a modified analytical model for the bending behavior of axially functionally graded (AFG) carbon nanotubes reinforced composite (CNTRC) nanobeams. New higher order shear deformation beam theory is exploited to satisfy parabolic variation of shear through thickness direction and zero shears at the bottom and top surfaces.A Modified continuum nonlocal strain gradient theoryis employed to include the microstructure and the geometrical nano-size length scales. The extended rule of the mixture and the molecular dynamics simulations are exploited to evaluate the equivalent mechanical properties of FG-CNTRC beams. Carbon nanotubes reinforcements are distributed axially through the beam length direction with a new power graded function with two parameters. The equilibrium equations are derived with associated nonclassical boundary conditions, and Navier's procedure are used to solve the obtained differential equation and get the response of nanobeam under uniform, linear, or sinusoidal mechanical loadings. Numerical results are carried out to investigate the impact of inhomogeneity parameters, geometrical parameters, loadings type, nonlocal and length scale parameters on deflections and stresses of the AFG CNTRC nanobeams. The proposed model can be used in the design and analysis of MEMS and NEMS systems fabricated from carbon nanotubes reinforced composite nanobeam.

In this work, an analytical model employing a new higher-order shear deformation beam theory is utilized to investigate the bending behavior of axially randomly oriented functionally graded carbon nanotubes reinforced composite nanobeams. A modified continuum nonlocal strain gradient theory is employed to incorporate both microstructural effects and geometric nano-scale length scales. The extended rule of mixture, along with molecular dynamics simulations, is used to assess the equivalent mechanical properties of functionally graded carbon nanotubes reinforced composite (FG-CNTRC) beams. Carbon nanotube reinforcements are randomly distributed axially along the length of the beam. The equilibrium equations, accompanied by nonclassical boundary conditions, are formulated, and Navier's procedure is used to solve the resulting differential equation, yielding the response of the nanobeam under various mechanical loadings, including uniform, linear, and sinusoidal loads. Numerical analysis is conducted to examine the influence of inhomogeneity parameters, geometric parameters, types of loading, as well as nonlocal and length scale parameters on the deflections and stresses of axially functionally graded carbon nanotubes reinforced composite (AFG CNTRC) nanobeams. The results indicate that, in contrast to the nonlocal parameter, the beam stiffness is increased by both the CNTs volume fraction and the length-scale parameter. The presented model is applicable for designing and analyzing microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) constructed from carbon nanotubes reinforced composite nanobeams.
