전중추신경 방사선 조사는 수아세포종, 중추신경정상피종, 중추신경임파종, 중추신경백혈병 환자 치료에 시행한다. 뇌부위에는 양면 조사야를 통하고 척추 신경부위는 후면 단일 조사야를 통해 방사선 조사한다. 이때 조사야가 인접한 부위에서 발생하는 방사선조사야의 중첩에 의한 선량의 불균일성은 큰 문제로, 특히 척추신경의 극히 한정된 방사선 인내능력으로 인해 심각한 부작용을 병발할 수 있다. 이 문제를 해결하기위한 많은 연구가 보고되고 있으나 그들이 보고한 방법에 의해서도 불균일성은 최고 $60\%\sim70\%$로 부터 최소 $15\%\sim20\%$에 이른다. 저자는 split beam (central axis beam)과 collimator rotation technique을 이용하거나 collimator/couch rotation technique을 이용하여 3조사야가 접하는 부위의 방사선량의 불균일성을 해결하고자 시도하였다. 저자의 방법으로 시행할 때 3조사야가 접하는 부위에서의 불균일성은 $5\%$정도로 감소시킬 수 있었다. 본 논문에서 저자의 방법의 장단점을 기술하였다.

현재 많은 박물관들이 유비쿼터스 기술과 함께 자신의 형태를 바꾸어 가고 있다. 기존에 유물에 부착된 정적인 텍스트 기반 정보만을 방문객에게 제공하는 전통적인 박물관과 달리, 이러한 유비쿼터스 박물관은 각종 PDA 혹은 휴대폰을 통해 유물에 대한 텍스트 정보뿐만이 아니라 음성, 동영상 등의 다양한 형태의 정보를 제공하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 기존 유비쿼터스 박물관은 각 방문객에게 유물 중심적인 정보만을 매우 단편적인 방법으로 제공하는 데 그치고 있다. 이러한 불리한 특성은 모든 방문객에게 획일적인 관람경로만을 제공하여 전시실의 혼잡을 야기하는 문제점이 있다. 이러한 한계성은 방문객에게 자신의 선호를 고려하여 보다 다양하고 유용한 유물 정보 제공에 대한 가장 큰 장벽이 될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 방문객의 선호도에 따라 편안한 박물관 관람을 제공하는 새로운 최적의 관람 경로 검색 알고리즘을 제안한다. 또한 방문객의 박물관 관람 시 방문객들이 몇몇 쏠림 지역으로 모이는 것을 예방함으로써 박물관 관람의 편안함을 최대로 향상시키도록 한다.

As issues of education, employment and so on, the medical issue is one of the hot spots of society in China today. The health system reform which was pushed ahead after China's Revolution and open to the outside world hasn't received great progress. Many actual problems haven't been solved, for example it is difficult and expensive to see a doctor. With the development of the economy and society, the citizen's legal consciousness has gradually risen. They make a claim for better medical service. At the same time, the number of the disputes of medical care arises annually. China has sped up the opening of service trade for fulfilling promises of entry the WTO since 2001. China has already opened many service trade fields, including medical field. From the domestic perspective, there are many problems in domestic medical department. From the international perspective, China's present medical level falls behind the world advanced medical level. Under this background, it is a bold act for China to open the medical service field to foreign investors. Today, a huge medical service market is developed in China. However, the government's investment to medical devices and the financing channels is limited. Therefore, it is inevitable that individuals, social organizations and foreign investors invest to the medical market. In view of the situation, Chinese government issued a series of relevant laws and rules. In recent years, many multinational companies, consortiums, charitable institutions, enterprises and individuals establish various medical institutions in China. But there are rare research in the actuality and legal subject of foreign investment to Chinese medical market. Hence, it is necessary to realize the actuality of foreign investment to Chinese medical market, to familiar with the elements and procedure of establishing foreign joint and cooperative medical institution. Meanwhile, analyzing the existing problems and posing the legal subject have important theoretic and practical value.

The K Ar ages, whole rock geochemistry and Sr Nd Pb isotopes have been determined for the submarine basalts dredged from the P2 and P3 segments of the Antarctic-Phoenix Ridge (APR), Drake Passage, Antarctica, for better understanding on temporal variation of magma chemistry in association with extinction of seafloor spreading. The fossilized APR is distant from the known hot spots, and consists of older N-MORB prior to extinction of spreading and younger E-MORB after extinction. The older N-MORB (3.5-6.4 Ma) occur in the southeast flank of the P3 segment (PR3) and the younger E-MORB (1.4-3.1 Ma) comprise a huge seamount at the P3 segment (SPR) and a big volcanic edifice at the P2 segment (PR2). The N-type PR3 basalts have higher Mg#, K/Ba, and CaO/Al2O3 and lower Zr/Y, Sr, and Na8.0 with slight enrichment in incompatible elements and almost flat REE patterns. The E-type SPR and PR2 basalts are highly enriched in incompatible elements and LREE. The extinction of spreading occurring at 3.3 Ma seems to have led to a temporal magma oversupply with E-MORB signatures. Geochemical signatures such as Ba/TiO2, Ba/La, and Sm/La suggest heterogeneity of upper mantle and formation of E-MORB by higher contribution of enriched materials to mantle melting, compared to N-MORB environment. E-MORB magmas beneath the APR seem to have been produced by low melting degree (up to 1% or more) at deeper low-temperature regime, where metasomatized veins consisting of pyroxenites have preferentially participated in the melting. The occurrence of E-MORB at the APR is a good example to better understand what kinds of magmatism would occur in association with extinction of spreading.

멀티-코어 프로세서는 최근 마이크로프로세서 시장의 주류 제품으로 자리 잡았다. 이러한 멀티-코어 프로세서를 기반으로 하는 서버들은 고성능 컴퓨팅 분야와 상용 응용 프로그램 분야에서 그 사용 범위를 넓혀가고 있다. 멀티-코어 프로세서는 높아진 병렬성으로 인하여 응용 프로그램의 성능도 한 단계 더 높여줄 것으로 기대된다. 하지만, 칩 내부의 여러 코어들이 공유 자원들을 사용하면서 발생하는 경쟁과 충돌이 성능에 병목으로 작용하기도 한다. 그러므로 멀티-코어 서버 상에서 높은 성능과 확장성을 얻기 위해서는 공유 자원의 사용을 최적화 하는 것이 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 코어들 간의 공유 자원 사용에서 발생하는 긍정적/부정적인 효과들이 실제 응용 프로그램의 성능에 어떻게 반영되는지 실험을 통하여 분석해 본다. 또한 이러한 분석을 통하여 멀티-코어 서버의 성능을 특성화한다.

Since it is of great importance to know how a ligand binds to a receptor, there have been a lot of efforts to improve the quality of prediction of docking poses. Earlier efforts were focused on improving search algorithm and scoring function in a docking program resulting in a partial improvement with a lot of variations. Although these are basically very important and essential, more tangible improvements came from the reduction of search space. In a normal docking study, the approximate active site is assumed to be known. After defining active site, scoring functions and search algorithms are used to locate the expected binding pose within this search space. A good search algorithm will sample wisely toward the correct binding pose. By careful study of receptor structure, it was possible to prioritize sub-space in the active site using "receptor-based pharmacophores" or "hot spots". In a sense, these techniques reduce the search space from the beginning. Further improvements were made when the bound ligand structure is available, i.e., the searching could be directed by molecular similarity using ligand information. This could be very helpful to increase the accuracy of binding pose. In addition, if the biological activity data is available, docking program could be improved to the level of being useful in affinity prediction for a series of congeneric ligands. Since the number of co-crystal structures is increasing in protein databank, "Ligand-Guided Docking" to reduce the search space would be more important to improve the accuracy of docking pose prediction and the efficiency of virtual screening. Further improvements in this area would be useful to produce more reliable docking programs.

Fossil power plants firing lower grade coals or equipped with modified system for NOx controls are challenged with maintaining good combustion conditions while maximizing generation and minimizing emissions. In many cases significant derate, availability losses and increase in unburned carbon levels can be attributed to poor combustion conditions as a result of poorly controlled local fuel and air distribution within the boiler furnace. In order to develop a on-line combustion tuning system, field test was conducted at operating power boiler. During the field test the exhaust gases' $O_2$, NOx and CO was monitored by using a spatially distributed monitoring grid located in the boiler's high temperature vestibule and upper convective back-pass region. At these locations, the flue gas flow is still significantly stratified, and air in-leakage is minimal which enables tracing of poor combustion zones to specific burners and over-fire air ports. using these monitored information we can improving combustion at every point within the furnace, therefore the boiler can operate at reduced excess $O_2$ and gas temperature deviation, reduced furnace exit gas temperature levels while also reducing localized hot spots, corrosive gas conditions, slag or clinker formation and UBC. Benefits include improving efficiency, reducing NOx emissions, increasing output and maximizing availability. Discussion concerning the reduction of greenhouse gases is prevalent in the world. When taking a practical approach to addressing this problem, the best way and short-term solution to reduce greenhouse gases on coal-fired power plants is to improve efficiency. From this point of view the real time optimized combustion tuning approach is the most effective and implemented with minimal cost.

In lithium-ion batteries, separator membrane's, main role is to physically isolate a cathode and an anode while maintaining rapid transport of ionic charge carriers during the passage of electric current. As far as battery safety is concerned, the electrical isolation of electrodes is most crucial since unexpected short-circuits across the membrane induces hot spots where thermal runaway may break out. Internal short-circuits are generally believed to occur by protrusions on the electrode surface either by unavoidable deposits of metallic impurities or by dendritic lithium growth during battery operation. Another cause is shrinkage of the separator membrane when exposed to heat. If separator membrane can be engineered to prevent the internal short-circuit, it will not be difficult to improve lithium-ion batteries' safety. Commonly the separators employed in lithium-ion batteries are made of polyethylene (PE) and/or polypropylene (PP). These materials have terrible limitations in preventing the fore-mentioned internal short-circuit between electrodes due to their poor dimensional stability and mechanical strength. In this study we have developed a novel separator membrane that possesses very high thermal and mechanical stability. The cells employing this separator provided noticeable safety improvement in the various abuse tests.

Turbid storm runoff from intensive highland agriculture area has emerged as the major problem of water quality deterioration in the upstream region of the Han River. High slope of the upland combined with high rate of fertilization and intensive plowing causes high rate of soil erosion, and subsequently high suspended sediment and phosphorus content in the runoff water. The variations of water quality during rain spells were surveyed for two years (2005 and 2006) in the Jawoon Stream that is one of hot spots of intensive horticulture discharging turbid storm runoff. SS and TP showed large increase according to the increase of flow rate, whereas TN and BOD showed less fluctuations. Mean EMCs of SS and TP measured for nine rain events were as high as $207mgSS{\cdot}L^{-1}$ and $0.27mgP{\cdot}L^{-1}$, respectively. The export coefficient of SS and TP per area of cultivated field were calculated as $11,912kgSS{\cdot}yr^{-1}{\cdot}km^{-2}$ and $785kgP{\cdot}yr^{-1}{\cdot}km^{-2}$, repectively, which are significantly higher than reports of other area. It can be concluded that SS and TP in the runoffs were high enough to impose major threat to aquatic habitats, and the highland agriculture should be the main target of water quality management or habitat conservation in the study area.
