  • With polymer properties and ceramic volume fraction as design variables, the optimal structure of 1-3 piezocomposites has been determined to maximize the thickness mode electromechanical coupling factor. When the piezocomposite vibrates in a thickness mode, inter-pillar resonant modes are likely to occur between lattice-structured piezoceramic pillars and polymer matrix, which significantly deteriorates the performance of the piezocomposite. In this work, a new method to design the structure of the 1-3 type piezocomposite is proposed to maximize the thickness mode electromechanical coupling factor while preventing the occurrence of the inter-pillar modes. Genetic algorithm was used for the optimal design, and the finite element analysis method was used for the analysis of the inter-pillar mode.

  • 퇴적물 입도분석 방식에 따른 분석결과의 편차를 비교하였다. 한반도 주변해역에서 기존에 보고된 퇴적물 입도자료들은 연구기관에 따라 상당한 편차가 나타났으며, 실험실간 편차보정작업(Inter-lab calibration)이 요구된다. 퇴적물 입도분석 결과는 분석방식에 따라 상이하게 나타났다. 레이저 회절방식은 반복측정의 정확도가 매우 우수하였지만, 2-3 ${\mu}m$보다 세립한 계층의 함량을 과소측정하였다. 이와 반면에 입자침전속도에 근거한 입도분석 방식은 조립실트(5-6 ${\phi}$) 계층의 오차가 크게 나타났으며, 점토질 함량이 다소 과다하게 측정되었다. 퇴적물 입도분석에 가장 일반적으로 활용되는 체질과 피켓법은 0.5 ${\phi}$ 간격의 분석작업이 가장 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 특히 피켓법의 경우 조립실트 계층의 영역에서 0.5 ${\phi}$ 간격의 분석작업이 요구되었다. 또한 사질 퇴적물의 체질방식에서는 하나의 체에 걸러지는 퇴적물 양에 따른 오차가 매우 중요한 것으로 나타났다.

  • Any server offering a routing service in the Internet would naturally be in competition for clients, and clients may need to utilize service from a specific server in order to achieve a desired result. We study the various properties of this competition, such as the fraction of route requests handled by a routing service provider and the fraction of total revenue obtained. As the routing service providers (i.e., servers or routers in this context) compete, they may alter behavior in order to optimize one of the above properties. For example, a service provider may lower the price charged for its service, in order to increase the number of clients served. Our models are based on servers offering a routing service to clients within representative network topologies based on actual Internet sub-graphs. These models provide, a framework for evaluating competition in the Internet. We monitor key aspects of the service, as several variables are introduced into the models. The first variable is the fraction of client requests that will pay more for a better quality route. The remaining requests are normal client requests that are satisfied by the most economical route. The second variable is the fraction of servers who choose to lower service prices in order to maximize the number of client requests served. As this fraction increases, it is more likely that a server will lower the price. Finally, there are some resource constraints applied to the model, to increase the difficulty in providing a routing solution, i.e., to simulate a realistic scenario. We seek to understand the effect on the overall network, as service providers compete. In simple cases, we show that this competition could have a negative impact on the overall efficiency of a service. We show that the routing variety present in the larger models is unable to mask this tendency and the routing service performance is decreased due to competition.

  • Purpose: We describe the daily bladder volume change observed by mega-voltage computed tomography (MVCT) during pelvic radiotherapy with potential predictors of increased bladder volume variations. Materials and Methods: For 41 patients who received pelvic area irradiation, the volumes of bladder and pelvic body contour were measured twice a day with pre- and post-irradiation MVCT from the 1st to the 10th fraction. The median prescription dose was 20 Gy (range, 18 to 30 Gy) up to a 10th fraction. The upper and lower margin of MVCT scanning was consistent during the daily treatments. The median age was 69 years (range, 33 to 86 years) and 10 patients (24.4%) were treated postoperatively. Results: Overall bladder volume on planning computed tomography was 139.7 ± 92.8 mL. Generally, post-irradiation bladder volume (POSTBV) was larger than pre-irradiation bladder volume (PREBV) (p < 0.001). The mean PREBV and POSTBV was reduced after 10 fraction treatments by 21.3% (p = 0.028) and 25.4% (p = 0.007), respectively. The MVCT-scanned body contour volumes had a tendency to decrease as the treatment sessions progressed (p = 0.043 at the 8th fraction and p = 0.044 at the 10th fraction). There was a statistically significant correlation between bladder filling time and PREBV (p = 0.001). Conclusion: Daily MVCT-based bladder volume assessment was feasible both intra- and inter-fractionally.

  • The optimal structure of 1-3 piezocomposites has been determined by controlling polymer properties, ceramic volume fraction, thickness of composite and aspect ratio of the composite to maximize the TVR (transmitting voltage response), RVS (receiving voltage sensitivity) and FBW (fractional bandwidth) of underwater acoustic transducers. Influence of the design variables on the transducer performance was analyzed with equivalent circuits and the finite element method. When the piezocomposite is vibrating in a pure thickness mode, inter-pillar resonant modes are likely to occur between lattice-structured piezoceramic pillars and polymer matrix, which significantly deteriorate the performance of the piezocomposite. In this work, a new method to design the structure of the 1~3 type piezocomposite was proposed to maximize the TVR, RVS and FBW while preventing the occurrence of the inter-pillar modes. Genetic algorithm was used in the optimal design.

  • 입체조형 및 세기조절 방사선치료가 보편화되어 가고 있는 현 시점에서, 치료율을 높이기 위해 종양처방선량은 증가시키는 반면 부작용은 최소화하고자 하는 요구가 증가하고 있다. 셋업오차 및 체내운동(internal motion)은 이러한 요구를 충족시키는데 대한 한계로 작용하고 있다. 4차원방사선치료(4-dimensional radiation therapy)는 체내운동을 최소화시키거나 또는 움직임을 추적하여 방사선치료를 시행함으로써 “종양선량최대화/정상조직선량최소화”라는 고정밀방사선치료의 요구에 부응할 수 있는 치료기술로 기대를 모으고 있다. 체내운동은 호흡에 의한 움직임과 같이 단기적으로 발생되는 조사분할내(intra-fraction)와 종양의 수축, 체중 변화 등과 같이 장기적으로 발생하는 조사분할간(inter-fraction)움직임으로 구분되는데, 본 연제에서는 주로 조사분할내 움직임, 즉 호흡에 의한 움직임에 대처하는 4차원방사선치료를 위한 동적영상 획득 및 방사선치료계획과정에 초점을 맞추어 소개하고자 한다.

  • High Strength low alloy steels containing various levels of C, Nb and Mn were used and for each of which, a simulated double thermal cycle was applied with the same first peak temperature and different second peak temperatures to produce HAZ microstructure corresponding to multi-pass weld. Effect of double cycle second temperature on the microstructure was observed and compared with single cycle results obtained from previous works, it was found that the percentage of martensite austenite constituent (MA) increases by Nb addition for all steels with the same Mn content and the increase in Mn content at the same Nb content shows an increase in MA area fraction as well. MA area fraction obtained for the double cycle is larger than that obtained for the single cycle for all steels used which imply that MA will have great role in the brittle fracture initiation for double cycle and the inter-pass temperature should be controlled for medium and high-carbon Mn steel to avoid large area fraction of MA. The beneficial effects of Niobium obtained in single pass weld were not observed for the double cycle or multi pass welds.

  • SOI 구조에서 형성된 MOS 트랜지스터의 장점과 strained Si에서 전자의 이동도가 향상되는 효과를 동시에 고려하기 위해 buried oxide(BOX)층과 Top Si층 사이에 Ge을 삽입하여 strained Si/relaxed SiGe/SiO₂Si 구조를 형성하고 strained Si fully depletion(FD) n-MOSFET를 제작하였다. 상부 strained Si층과 하부 SiGe층의 두께의 합을 12.8nm로 고정하고 상부 strained Si 층의 두께에 변화를 주어 두께의 변화가 electron mobility에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. Strained Si/relaxed SiGe/SiO2/Si (strained Si/SGOI) 구조위의 FD n-MOSFET의 전자 이동도는 Si/SiO₂/Si (SOI) 구조위의 FD n-MOSFET 에 비해 30-80% 항상되었다. 상부 strained Si 층과 하부 SiGe 층의 두께의 합을 12.8nm 로 고정한 shrined Si/SGOI 구조 FD n-MOSFET에서 상부층 strained Si층의 두께가 감소하면 하부층 SiGe 층 두께 증가로 인한 Ge mole fraction이 증가함에 의해 inter-valley scattering 이 감소함에도 불구하고 n-channel 층의 전자이동도가 감소하였다. 이는 strained Si층의 두께가 감소할수록 2-fold valley에 있는 전자가 n-channel 층에 더욱더 confinement 되어 intra-valley phonon scattering 이 증가하여 전자 이동도가 감소함이 이론적으로 확인되었다.
