In this study, when diagnosis pancreatic cancer by dual time point PET/CT, we propose SUVm 2.52 as the threshold value for performing the dual time point PET/CT exam. The hypothesis of normal distribution was adopted through data conversion of 60 pancreatic diseases. The proposed SUVm2.52 boundary value showed a significance level that could be applied to both 120 and 180 minutes of delay time scan for pancreatic cancer determination (p<0.05). C-value variation shows that delay time 2 hour test is more useful than delay time 3 hour test. When the SUVm 2.52 is set to the boundary value and the double-time point PET/CT exam is performed, the probability of distinguishing cancer from inflammation in the delayed image is 95%. When the delayed test is performed with the proposed boundary value SUVm 2.52, Compared with general PET / CT scans, it is thought that it may be helpful to distinguish pancreatic cancer.

전자파표면유속계(Microwave Water Surface Current Meter)를 이용한 홍수기 유량측정은 교량과 같은 구조물을 이용하여 안전 및 측정위치의 흐름조건 등의 이유로 측정의 한계가 발생한다. 이런 문제점을 개선하기 위해 전자파표면유속계를 드론(Drone)과 결합하여 하천에서의 유량측정에 이용하였다. 전자파표면유속계는 비접촉식 유속측정 장비로 하천의 표면유속을 측정하고 유량산정을 위해 환산계수 0.85를 적용하여 평균유속을 산정하고 있다. 환산계수 0.85는 하천의 각 횡측선 수심-유속분포를 일반적인 분포로 가정하고 표면유속에 0.85를 곱하여 평균유속을 산정한다(Rantz, 1982). 그러나 하천의 측정위치 및 흐름특성에 따라 유속분포가 변화하기 때문에 국외 많은 연구에서 환산계수의 범위를 0.72에서 1.72까지 제시한 바 있다(Johnson and Cowen, 2017). 따라서 환산계수 0.85의 일률적인 적용은 부정확한 유량산정을 초래할 수 있어 측정위치에 적절한 환산계수 산정이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 2020년 금강의 지류인 봉황천에 위치한 금산군(황풍교) 관측소에서 드론과 전자파표면유속계를 이용해 측정한 표면유속과 ADCP를 이용하여 동시 측정한 평균유속의 비교를 통해 환산계수를 산정하여 평균유속 산정의 정확도를 높이고자 하였다. 전자파표면유속계로 측정한 6개 성과 중 ADCP와 동시 측정한 4개의 성과를 분석하여 환산계수를 산정하였다. 측정성과별 측선수는 16~17개로 홍수터로 월류하여 비정상흐름이 발생한 측선은 제외하고 측선별 환산계수는 0.66에서 1.09의 범위로 나타났고, 성과별 환산계수의 평균치는 0.90에서 0.93 범위로 산정되었다. 환산계수가 일반적인 수치보다 높게 산정된 것은 측정위치 하류 약 600m에 위치한 콘크리트 고정보의 영향이 홍수 시 흐름의 수위-유속분포에 영향을 미쳐 높게 산정된 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 유량산정에 있어 환산계수는 4개 성과에서 산정된 환산계수의 평균치인 0.92를 적용하여 산정하였다.

An event-based, kinematic, infiltration-excess, and distributed rainfall-runoff model using weather radar and Geographic Information System(GIS) was developed to acknowledge and account lot the spatial variability and uncertainty of several parameters relevant to storm surface runoff and surface flow The developed model is compatible with raster GIS and spatially and temporally varied rainfall data. To calibrate the model, Monte Carlo simulation and a likelihood measure are utilized; allowing for a range of possible system responses from the calibrated model. Using rain gauge adjusted radar-rainfall estimates, the developed model was applied and evaluated to a limited number of historical events for the Ralston Creek and Goldsmith Gulch basins within the Denver Urban Drainage and Flood Control District (UDFCD) that contain mixed land use classifications. While based on a limited number of Monte Carlo simulations and considered flood events, Nash and Sutcliffe efficiency score ranges of -0.19∼0.95 / -0.75∼0.81 were obtained from the calibrated models for the Ralston Creek and Goldsmith Gulch basins, based on a comparison of observed and simulated hydrographs. For the Ralston Creek and Goldsmith Gulch basins, Nash and Sutcliffe efficiency scores of 0.88/0.10, 0.14/0.71, and 0.99/0.95 for runoff volume, peak discharge, and time to peak, respectively, were obtained from the model.

Corsoy 79 soybeans were ground into 8-(coarse) and 24-mesh (fine) full-fat soy flours. From the particle size analysis, the 8-mesh full-fat soy flours were found to have larger values for geometric mean diameter and geometric standard deviation. However, the distribution moduli of coarse and fine soy flours were similar and indicated soybeans were nearly 'brittle'. Development of hydrolytic and oxidative rancidities of coarsely and finely ground full-fat soy flours were followed from grinding to 24 hrs later. No increases in peroxide value and conjugated dienes in the oil and hexanal content in the headspace of the flour were observed when the moisture was 10.7% or less. At 14.9% moisture and above, lipid oxidation increased with increased moisture content and storage time. Free fatty acid contents increased slightly at all moisture contents. However, hydrolysis did not exceed 0.06% over the moisture range of 4 to 18%, which is of little practical significance. Fine grinding increased oxidative and hydrolytic rancidities, especially at 14.9% moisture and above. these findings indicate that raw soybeans can be ground to full-fat soy flours and stored up to 24 hrs without undergoing significant lipid and flavor deterioration if the moisture content is 11% or less.

Purpose: To evaluate the contralateral breast dose using a virtual wedge compared with that using a Physical wedge and an open beam in a Siemens linear accelerator. Materials and Methods: The contralateral breast dose was measured using diodes placed on a humanoid phantom. Diodes were placed at 5.5 cm (position 1), 9.5 cm (position 2), and 14 cm (position 3) along the medial-lateral line from the medial edge of the treatment field. A 6-MV photon beam was used with tangential irradiation technique at 50 and 230 degrees of gantry angle. Asymmetrically collimated $17{\times}10cm$ field was used. for the first set of experiment, four treatment set-ups were used, which were an open medial beam with a 30-degree wedged lateral beam (physical and virtual wedges, respectively) and a 15-degree wedged medial beam with a 15-degree wedged lateral beam (physical and virtual wedges, respectively). The second set of experiment consists of setting with medial beam without wedge, a 15-degree wedge, and a 50-degree wedge (physical and virtual wedges, respectively). Identical monitor units were delivered. Each set of experiment was repeated for three times. Results: In the first set of experiment, the contralateral breast dose was the highest at the position 1 and decreased in order of the position 2 and 3. The contralateral breast dose was reduced with open beam on the medial side ($2.70{\pm}1.46%$) compared to medial beam with a wedge (both physical and virtual) ($3.25{\pm}1.59%$). The differences were larger with a physical wedge ($0.99{\pm}0.18%$) than a virtual wedge ($0.10{\pm}0.01%$) at all positions. The use of a virtual wedge reduced the contralateral breast dose by 0.12% to 1.20% of the proscribed dose compared to a physical wedge with same technique. In the second experiment, the contralateral breast dose decreased in order of the open beam, the virtual wedge, and the physical wedge at the position 1, and it decreased in order of a physical wedge, an open beam, and a virtual wedge at the position 2 and 3. Conclusion: The virtual wedge equipped in a Siemens linear accelerator was found to be useful in reducing dose to the contralateral breast. Our additional finding was that the surface dose distribution from the Siemens accelerator was different from a Varian accelerator.
