Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer in females (27% of the total) and the main cause of death (16%) due to cancer in women in developed and developing countries. Variations in its incidence rate among geographical areas are due to various contributing factors. Since there have been a lack of studies on this topic in our country, the present spatial analysis of breast cancer incidence in Iran in 2009 was conducted using data from the national cancer registry system. The reported incidences of the disease were standardized according to the World Health Organization population and the direct method. Then data was inserted into the GIS software and finally, using the Hot Spot Analysis (Geties-Ord Gi), high-risk areas were drawn. Provinces with incidences 1.96 SD higher or lower than the national average were considered as hot spots or cold spots, at the significance level of 0.05%. In 2009, a total of 7,582 cases of BC occurred in Iran. The annual incidence was 33.2 per hundred thousand people. Our study showed that the highest incidence of BC in women occurred in the central provinces of the country, Tehran, Isfahan, Yazd, Markazi and Fars. The results of hot spots analysis showed that the distribution of high-risk BC was focused in central parts of Iran, especially Isfahan province (p <0.01). The other provinces were not significantly different from the national average. The higher incidence in central provinces may be due to greater exposure to carcinogens in urban areas, a Western lifestyle and high prevalence of other risk factors. Further epidemiological studies about the etiology and early detection of BC are essential.

To improve the integrated pest management (IPM) of hot pepper, field study was conducted in Hwasung from 2010 to 2012 and an IPM system was developed to help growers decide when to apply pesticides to control anthracnose, tobacco budworm, Phytophthora blight, bacterial wilt, and bacterial leaf spot. The three field treatments consisted of IPM sprays following the forecast model advisory, a periodic spray at 7-to-10-day intervals, and no spray (control). The number of annual pesticide applications for the IPM treatment ranged from six to eight, whereas the plots subjected to the periodic treatment received pesticide 11 or 12 times annually for three years. Compared to the former strategy, our improved IPM strategy features more intense pest management, with frequent spraying for anthracnose and mixed spraying for tobacco budworm or Phytophthora blight. The incidences for no pesticide control in 2010, 2011, and 2012 were 91, 97.6, and 41.4%, respectively. Conversely, the incidences for the IPM treatment for those years were 7.6, 62.6, and 2%, and the yields from IPM-treated plots were 48.6 kg, 12.1 kg, and 48.8 kg. The incidence and yield in the IPM-treated plots were almost the same as those of the periodic treatment except in 2011, in which no unnecessary sprays were given, meaning that the IPM control was quite successful. From reviewing eight years of field work, sophisticated forecasts that optimize pesticide spray timing reveal that reliance on pesticides can be reduced without compromising yield. Eco-friendly strategies can be implemented in the pest management of hot pepper.

We present the results of new multi-color CCD photometry for the contact binary XZ Leo, together with reasonable explanations for the period and light variations. Six new times of minimum light have been determined. A period study with all available timings confirms Qian's (2001) finding that the O-C residuals have varied secularly according to $dP/dt\;=\;+8.20{\times}10^{-8}\;d\;yr^{-l}$. This trend could be interpreted as a conservative mass transfer from the less massive cool secondary to the more massive hot primary in the system with a mass flow rate of about $5.37{\times}10^{-8}\;M_{\odot}\;yr^{-l}$. By simultaneous analysis of our light curves and the previously published radial-velocity data, a consistent set of light and velocity parameters for XZ Leo is obtained. The small differences between the observed and theoretical light curves are modelled by a blue third light and by a hot spot near the neck of the primary component. Our period study does not support the tertiary light but the hot region which may be formed by gas streams from the cool secondary. The solution indicates that XZ Leo is a deep contact binary with the values of q=0.343, $i=78^{\circ}.8$, ${\Delta}(T_1-T_2)=126\;K$, and f=33.6 %, differing much from those of Niarchos et al. (1994). Absolute parameters of XZ Leo are determined as follows: $M_1=1.84\;M_{\odot},\;M_2=0.63\;M_{\odot},\;R_1=1.75\;R_{\odot},\;R_2=1.10\;R_{\odot},\;L_1=7.19\;L_{\odot},\;and\;L_2=2.66\;L_{\odot}$.

텅스텐 타겟인 양극의 각도에 의존하는 X-선관 집속관의 전자빔 초점 크기를 오페라-3차원/스칼라(OPERA-3D/SCALAR) 프로그램을 이용하여 구하였다. 시뮬레이션 분석은 X-선관을 음극과 양극 그리고 4영역을 나누어 유한요소법을 적용하였다. X-선 집속관의 필라멘트로부터 방출되는 열전자 궤적은 전자밀도 분포함수에 따라 양극에 도달할 때 실초점으로 집속되고 양극에 부딪쳐서 유효 초점 크기로 X-선을 발생하게 된다. 전자빔 실초점 크기는 X-선 집속관 모양을 결정짓는 폭, 길이, 높이를 조절하여 줄일 수 있었고, 양극각도의 크기에 따라 미세하게 변하였다. 양극각도가 $10^{\circ}{\sim}17^{\circ}$에서는 전자빔 실초점 크기를 $70{\mu}m$ 이내로 유지하였고, 가장 최소 초점크기는 $15^{\circ}$에서 실초점 크기가 $40{\mu}m$로 나타났다. 최적화된 X-선 집속관의 변수들로 시뮬레이션하는 열전자의 방출 궤적을 분석하여 얻은 마이크로 크기인 실초점을 활용하는 새로운 의료 영상진단기기 개발이 가능할 것으로 보여진다.

In this paper, we present an economical and practical standard to install a bypass diode in a thin-film PV module. This method helps to reduce heat generation and to prevent module degradation due to excess current from reverse bias. The experimental results confirm that for different numbers of solar cells, there is a relation between the excess reverse current and the degradation of solar cells in a-Si:H modules. The optimal number of solar cells that can be connected per bypass diode could be obtained through an analysis of the results to effectively suppress the degradation and to reduce the heat generated by the module. This technique could be expanded for use in high power crystalline Si PV modules.

In this project, we studied more accurate and reliable sensing method for oxygen in reheating furnace, made the empirical model for NOx concentration based on oxygen and evaluate the stability of the Tuneable Diode Laser (Absorption) Spectroscopy(TDL(A)S). The tested oxygen monitoring system is installed at work-field reheating furnace on hot roll at POSCO and compared with the Zr sensor system which shows too sensitive because it measures oxygen concentration on a spot unlike TDLS sensor which is successfully applied at 13m-width reheating furnace to measures the line average along the Optical Path Line(OPL).

Closing switch, key component of pulsed power system, is constructed simply and used frequently due to the easy control and manufacture of one. The kind of one are spark-gap, triggered vacuum switch, pseudo-spark switch and INPIStron. But the electrode of spark gap switch is damaged with the hot spot by Z-pinch and then the life of one become short. INPIStron with inverse pinch effect has long life but it is difficult trigger system to provide uniform discharge between cathode and anode. In this paper, the design and manufacturing of INPIStron with gas puffing trigger method in order to supply uniform discharge inter-electrode and the performance of the developed INPIStron applied to 500[kA]-2[MJ] pulsed power system is presented.

The objectives of this paper investigate the effect of installed spacing on the activation of spot type heat detection devices. The flow of hot gases under a ceiling resulting from the impingement of a fire plume activates heat detectors and sprinklers. Local temperature and velocity in this ceiling jet are usually expressed with the function of a ceiling height, the distance from a fire location and the heat release rate of fire. And detectors having different. RTI respond in different ways to the same temperature and velocity of ceiling jet. Thus great care should be taken to decide installed spacing of heat detection devices by considering above effects.

본 논문에서는, axa 출력 버퍼 스위치로 구성된 핫스팟이 발생된 상황 하에서 다단 연결 망(Multistage interconnection Network, MIN)의 성능 예측 모형을 제안하였다. 제안한 성능 예측 오형은 먼저 네트워크 내부 임의 스위치 입력 단에 유입되는 데이터 패킷이 스위치 내부에서 전송되는 유형을 확률적으로 분석하여 설계하였다. 성능분석 모형은 스위치에 장착된 버퍼의 개수와 무관하게 버퍼를 장착한 axa 스위치의 성능, 네트워크 정상상태 처리율(Normalized Throughput, NT)과 네트워크 지연시간(Network Delay)의 예측이 가능하고, 나아가서 이들로 구성진 모든 종류의 다단 연결망 성능 분석에 적용이 용이하다. 제안한 수학적 성능 분석 연구의 실효성 검증을 위하여 병행된 시뮬레이션 결과는 상호 미세한 오차 범위 내에서 모형의 예측 데이터와 일치하는 결과를 보여 분석 모형의 타당성을 입증하였다.
