연료전지는 환경문제와 천연자원 고갈을 해결할 수 있기 때문에 가장 주목받고 있는 새로운 동력원이다. 본 논문에서는 마이크로 연료전지의 효율을 높이기 위해 다양한 형상에 대해 마이크로 채널에서 수소가스 유동을 수치해석 하였다. 이미 개발된 채널과 새롭게 고안된 채널, 모두 여섯 개의 다른 형상을 가진 채널이 같은 유동 특성과 경계조건으로 수치해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석 결과를 통해 유속, 유동분포, 유동균일성 등이 채널형상에 따라 영향을 많이 받는 것을 알았다. 이에 수소 가스 유동을 고려한 채널형상 최적화를 통해 연료전지의 성능을 향상시키고자 하였다. 수치해석을 통한 최적화된 채널형상을 사용한 PEMFC 실험결과 평균보다 높은 전류밀도를 나타내었다. 그러나 내구성이 낮았다.

Medical image acquisition techniques such as CT and MRI have disadvantages in that the numerous time and efforts are needed. Furthermore, a great amount of radiation exposure is an inherent proberty of the CT imaging technique, a number of side-effects are expected from such method. To improve such conventional methods, a number of novel methods that can obtain 3D medical images from a few X-ray images, such as algebraic reconstruction technique (ART), have been developed. Such methods deform a generic model of the internal body part and fit them into the X-ray images to obtain the 3D model; the initial shape, therefore, affects the entire fitting process in a great deal. From this fact, we propose a novel method that can generate a 3D vertebraic generic model based on the statistical database of CT scans in this study. Moreover, we also discuss a method to generate patient-tailored generic model using the facts obtained from the statistical analysis. To do so, the mesh topologies of CT-scanned 3D vertebra models are modified to be identical to each other, and the database is constructed based on them. Furthermore, from the results of a statistical analysis on the database, the tendency of shape distribution is characterized, and the modeling parameters are extracted. By using these modeling parameters for generating the patient-tailored generic model, the computational speed and accuracy of ART can greatly be improved. Furthermore, although this study only includes an application to the C1 (Atlas) vertebra, the entire framework of our method can be applied to other body parts generally. Therefore, it is expected that the proposed method can benefit the various medical imaging applications.

이 연구는 뇌동맥자루의 임상적 진단에 사용되는 3차원 디지털 혈관조영술과 3차원 디지털 감산 혈관조영술을 동일 부위에 시행한 환자 53명의 영상에서 뇌동맥자루 경부 직경, 최대 직경, 최대 면적 및 체적을 측정하고, 각 검사법의 영상 노이즈와 피폭선량을 분석하여 뇌동맥자루 진단검사에서의 임상적 진단 차이를 비교하였다. 3차원 디지털 혈관조영술과 3차원 디지털 감산 혈관조영술에서 뇌동맥자루의 경부직경, 최대직경, 최대면적, 체적, 노이즈를 비교한 결과가 일치하거나 아주 미세한 차이로 나타났다. 하지만, 방사선피폭선량은 3차원 디지털 감산 혈관조영술에 비하여 3차원 디지털 혈관조영술이 현저히 낮게 발생하였다. 따라서 뇌동맥자루의 임상적 진단을 목적으로 시행하는 경우에는 환자의 피폭선량을 감소를 위해 3차원 디지털 혈관조영술이 우선적으로 사용되어야 할 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to make out a history of the coastline deformation with annual aerial photos of the target area and to suggest an efficient method for interpreting the coastline deformation. First, there were difficulties in obtaining annual aerial photos of an identical area as well as collecting periodical datum because of too much change of the real area during more than 27 years. Besides the past aerial photo is inferior to the latest one in quality. So there is nothing but to exclude an accuracy evaluation of the ortho photo. Taken into account the extent of the coastline change for 27 years is more than 10M and the all errors of the ortho image is included in this extent, both an accuracy and an error are ignored. The result of this study show that the coastline in the sea area of Namhangjin maintain advanced forward the ocean and keeps on moving with maintaining fairly wider shape of balance beach. Also The coastline deformation off l㎞ from the estuary is greatly irregular, which means the erosion of the sea in this area is in progress. The latest data being the aerial photo in 1996, it is difficult to find out the current conditions of a coastal erosion. However, considered the construction of a breakwater in Anmok Harbor is going on, the beach erosion becomes more accelerative recently. The aerial photos of the present Namhangjin's situation will make it possible to understand the history of the coastline change more accurately.

Excitation mechanism of interference effect between two tall buildings is investigated with wind tunnel experiments. Synchronized building surface pressure and flow field measurements by particle image velocimetry (PIV) are conducted to explore the relationship between the disturbed wind flow field and the consequent wind load modification for twin buildings in tandem. This reveals evident excitation mechanisms for the fluctuating across-wind loads on the buildings. For small distance (X/D < 3) between two buildings, the disturbed flow pattern of impaired vortex shedding is observed and the fluctuating across-wind load on the downstream building decreases. For larger distance ($X/D{\geq}3$), strong correlation between the across-wind load of the downstream building and the oscillation of the wake of the upstream building is found. By further analysis with conditional sampling and phase-averaged techniques, the coherent flow structures in the building gap are clearly observed and the wake oscillation of the upstream building is confirmed to be the reason of the magnified across-wind force on the downstream building. For efficient PIV measurement, the experiments use a square-section high-rise building model with geometry scale smaller than the usual value. Interference factors for all three components of wind loads on the building models being surrounded by another identical building with various configurations are measured and compared with those from previous studies made at large geometry scale. The results support that for interference effect between buildings with sharp corners, the length scale effect plays a minor role provided that the minimum Reynolds number requirement is met.

Santa Barbara Amorphous-15(SBA-15) nanoparticles were utilized as the inexpensive and effective adsorbents to remove methylene blue dye from the aqueous solution.SBA-15 was created by Zhao et al method. Infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used for the evaluated physical properties of SBA-15. The results of diffraction X-ray indicated that was the crystalline structure for it. Also IR spectroscopy indicated was a silica the whole structure of the groups and SEM image verify the structure of relatively identical particles size of SBA-15. Factors affecting adsorption including the amounts of adsorbent, pH and contact time were investigated by a SBA-15 nanomaterial design. The extent of dye removal enhanced with increasing initial dye concentration and pH from 4 to 10. The higher percentage adsorption were obtained under optimum conditions of variables (sorbent dose of 200 mg/liter, initial MB concentration 10 mg/liter, initial pH of 10 and temperature of $25^{\circ}C$). Maximum adsorption happened after the 2 hour and the kinetic processes of the dyes adsorption were described by applying the pseudo-first-order and the pseudo-second-order and the relatively High correlation with the kinetic Ellovich models. It was found that the pseudo-second-order models kinetic equation described the data of dye adsorption with a good correlation (R2>0.999) which indicated chemisorption mechanism. Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption models were investigated in conditions of variables (adsorbent dose 0.01 gr/liter, MB concentration 10, 20, 30 mg/liter, pH of 4, 7, 10, contact time 90 min and temperature of $27^{\circ}C$). The adsorption data were represented by Langmuir isotherm model. These values are higher than the adsorption capacities of some other adsorbents that have recently been published in the literature.

Three-dimensional computed tomography is an effective tool to estimate the liver volume of living donors for the live liver transplantation. When additional operation is required, magnetic resonance imaging is conducted to determine the safety of the donor. This study compared the accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography in estimating 3D liver volume of 23 male and 7 female donors who underwent both magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography tests before the transplantation. The analysis was conducted to see whether the liver's estimated total volumes and the left lobe volumes obtained from 3D-magnetic resonance imaging and 3D-computed tomography were identical. Volumes of the right lobe estimated with 3D-magnetic resonance imaging and 3D-computed tomography were compared with the actual volume of the right lobe harvested in the operating room because the volume of the right lobe is an important determinant in the safety of the donor. The total volume of the liver estimated from 3D-magnetic resonance imaging and 3D-computed tomography differed (1238.1904 units and 1402.364 units respectively). The left lobe volume of the liver estimated with 3D-magnetic resonance imaging and 3D-computed tomography also differed (450.530 units and 554.490 units, respectively). The right lobe volume of the liver estimated with 3D-magnetic resonance imaging and 3D-computed tomography were 787.660 units and 847.545 units, respectively, while the actual average right lobe volume of the harvested liver was 678.636 units. 3D-computed tomography has been widely used to estimate the right lobe volume of the donors' liver. However, 3D-magnetic resonance imaging was also very effective in estimating the volume of the liver. Thus, 3D-magnetic resonance imaging is also expected to become an important tool in determining the safety of the donors before transplantation.

볼륨 광선 투사법은 볼륨 데이터를 가시화하는 기법 중 고화질 영상을 만들어내는 기법이다. 하지만 일반적으로 볼륨 데이터는 매우 크기 때문에 렌더링 시간이 오래 걸리는 문제가 있다. 이를 보완하기 위하여 최근에는 GPU를 이용하여 볼륨 광선 투사법을 가속화하는 많은 기법들이 연구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 볼륨 광선 투사법을 가속화하기 위한 GPU 기반의 옥트리 탐색을 통한 효과적인 빈 공간 도약 기법을 제안한다. 여기서는 최대-최소 옥트리를 생성하고 옥트리의 루트 노드부터 정점분할을 이용하여 빈 공간을 식별한다. 찾아낸 빈 공간을 삭제함으로써 볼륨 데이터에서 의미 있는 객체를 둘러싸는 바운딩 다면체를 최소화 시킨다. 최소화 된 바운딩 다면체에 대해서만 렌더링을 진행함으로써 기존의 볼륨 광선 투사법과 비교하여 빠른 시간에 동일한 결과물을 생성한다.
