  • 측정 및 화학분석에 많이 이용되는 한 점 교정식에 대하여 측정 불확도 표기 지침서(GUM)의 근사법과 Monte-Carlo Simulation에 의해 계산된 각각의 확장불확도를 비교하였다. 이 비교를 위하여 임의의 자료들을 여러 농도 수준에서 정규 분포 또는 t-분포로 가정하여 계산하였다. 나눗셈에 의한 한 점 교정식의 비선형성과 t-분포 형식을 함에 따른 입력량의 과도한 퍼짐으로 인하여, 경우에 따라서, GUM의 근사법으로 계산된 불확도가 Monte-Carlo Simulation에 의해 계산된 것보다 약 50% 이상의 오류가 있다는 것이 확인되었다. 그러나, 검출 하한을 계산하기 위하여 한 점 교정식을 이용하는 경우, 반응량의 표준불확도가 상대적으로 매우 크고 비선형성에 희한 계산 오류가 상대적으로 무시되므로 근사식에 따른 계산 오류가 발생하지 않았다.

  • The inclusion of covariates in the model often affects not only the estimates of meaningful variables of interest but also its statistical significance. Such gap between statistical and subject-matter significance is a critical issue in huge sample studies. A popular huge sample study, the sample cohort data from Korean National Health Insurance Service, showed such gap of significance in the inference for the effect of obesity on cause of mortality, requiring careful consideration. In this regard, this paper proposes a sample size calibration method based on a Monte Carlo t (or z)-test approach without Monte Carlo simulation, and also proposes a test procedure for subject-matter significance using this calibration method in order to complement the deflated p-value in the huge sample size. Our calibration method shows no subject-matter significance of the obesity paradox regardless of race, sex, and age groups, unlike traditional statistical suggestions based on p-values.

  • Miniaturized tissue equivalent proportional counters (mini-TEPCs) are proper for radiation dosimetry in medical application because the small size of the dosimeter could prevent pile-up effect under the high intensity of therapeutic beam. However, traditional methods of calibrating mini-TEPCs using internal alpha sources are not feasible due to their small size. In this study, we investigated the use of electron and proton edges on Monte Carlo-generated lineal energy spectra as markers for calibrating a 0.9 mm diameter and length mini-TEPC. Three possible markers for each spectrum were calculated and compared using different simulation tools. Our simulations showed that the electron edge markers were more consistent across different simulation tools than the proton edge markers, which showed greater variation due to differences in the microdosimetric spectra. In most cases, the second marker, yδδ, had the smallest uncertainty. Our findings suggest that the lineal energy spectra from mini-TEPCs can be calibrated using Monte Carlo simulations that closely resemble real-world detector and source geometries.

  • 본 연구는 IT 졸업자들의 성과를 보기 위하여 IT전공자와 비전공자간의 고용, 임금, 근속기간 등 노동 시장의 핵심적인 요인들을 Monte-Carlo와 Calibration 방법인 실증 모형을 통한 추정으로 분석하였다. 연구결과 중 취업에서 실업으로의 이동을 살펴보면, 4년제 IT 전공자는 반복적인 취업에 상관없이 안정적인 근속일수를 보여주고 있으나 비IT학과 전공자의 근속일수는 취업횟수가 반복됨에 따라 줄어들고 있다. IT 관련학과 졸업자들은 여섯 번째 취업까지 비 IT 학과 졸업자에 비해 상대적으로 임금을 더 받는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 임금효과에 대한 실증 분석에서는 대학졸업자의 능력에 대해 통제한 후 대학에서 IT를 전공한 졸업생의 임금은 비 IT 학과 졸업자들에 비해 0.8% 정도의 임금프리미엄이 있었다. 연구의 시사점으로는 첫째 IT노동시장은 전문대 수준의 기술을 가진 사람보다는 대학 이상의 수준의 인력에 대한 지속적인 수요가 존재하고 있으며 둘째 입금측면에서 볼 때 개인의 능력을 고려할 경우 임금차이는 비록 통계적으로 유의할 지라도 금액상에서 커다란 차이가 없어 IT 전공의 프리미엄은 임금과 같은 근로조건 보다는 취업, 즉 고용의 가능성과 안정성에 있다하겠다. 끝으로 분석을 IT 산업과 다른 산업과 비교하지 못한 점은 연구의 한계로 지적하고 깊다.

  • 본 연구는 미호천 유역을 대상으로 유량곡선의 세부적인 특성을 고려한 다목적함수를 적용하여 Probability Distribution Model(PDM) 모형의 유량모의성능을 검토하였다. PDM은 유역을 한 개의 단위구역으로 개념화한 집중형 강우유출모형으로 영국의 지역화 연구 및 홍수량 산정방법에 대표적으로 이용되고 있다. PDM 모형의 5개 매개변수를 Monte Carlo 방법에 기반을 둔 분석도구(MCAT, Monte Carlo Analysis Toolkit)를 활용하여 사후검정분포, 검정근거 및 민감도 분석 등을 수행하였으며, 모형의 매개변수 중 cmax와 k(q)만이 뚜렷한 검정 근거가 있고 나머지 변수들은 동등성의 영향을 확인하였다. 또한, 유량곡선의 고유량 및 저유량의 특성을 맞춘 목적함수의 Trade-off를 고려한 매개변수의 파레토 최적해를 산정한 결과, 모든 목적에 최대한 부합하는 유량 산정의 가능성을 제시하였다. 검정(calibration)기간에서 NS*E=0.035, FSB=0.161, FDBH= 0.809로 안정적이며 만족할만한 모의성능을 나타내었고, 검증(validation)기간에 대해서도 안정적인 모의성능을 나타내었다.

  • The full energy peak efficiency of a hyper pure germanium (HPGe) detector was calibrated in a wide energy range from 0.06 to 11 MeV. Both the experimental technique and the Monte Carlo method were used for the efficiency calibration. The measurement was performed using the standard radioisotopes in the low energy region of $60{\sim}1408$ keV, which was further extended up to 11 MeV by using the $^{14}N(n,r)\;and\;^{35}Cl(n,r)$ reactions. The GEANT Monte Carlo code was used for efficiency calculation. The calculated efficiency had the same dependency on the r-ray energy with the measurement, and the discrepancy between the calculation and the measurement was minimized by fine-tuning of the detector geometry. From the calculated result, the efficiency curve of the HPGe detector was reliably determined particularly in the high energy region above several MeV, where the number of measured efficiency points is relatively small despite the wide energy region. The calculated efficiency agreed with the measurement within about $7\%$. In addition to the efficiency calculation, the origin of the local minimum near 600 keV on the efficiency curve was analyzed as a general characteristics of a HPGe detector.

  • 수질모델은 수계내 오염물질의 총량관리를 위한 오염물질관리 목표량 및 허용총량 파악, 그리고 삭감계획의 효과분석 등에 효율적으로 사용할 수 있다. 그러나 선정 또는 개발된 모델의 재현성 제고를 위하여 매개변수의 최적화작업이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 하천수질관리에 가장 광범위하게 사용되고 있는 미국 EPA에서 개발한 QUAL2E 모델의 반응계수 보정을 위하여 최소자승법을 적용하였으며, 계수가 취할 수 있는 범위를 제약조건으로 갖는 최적화모델을 구축하여 해를 구하였다. 최적화모델의 목적함수 해는 Microsoft Excel의 해 찾기 기능을 사용하여 구하였으며 수질항목에 대한 매개변수의 영향정도를 파악하기 위하여 Monte Carlo 모의를 실시하였다. 이 방법을 안양천 유역에 적용하여 본 결과 빠른 시간 안에 주관성이 배제된 매개변수 값을 확정할 수 있었다.

  • Background: Simultaneous detection of neutrons and gamma rays have become much more practicable, by taking advantage of good gamma-ray discrimination properties using pulse shape discrimination (PSD) technique. Recently, we introduced a commercial CLYC system in Korea, and performed an initial characterization and simulation studies for the CLYC detector system to provide references for the future implementation of the dual-mode scintillator system in various studies and applications. Materials and Methods: We evaluated a CLYC detector with 95% $^6Li$ enrichment using various gamma-ray sources and a $^{252}Cf$ neutron source, with validation of our Monte Carlo simulation results via measurement experiments. Absolute full-energy peak efficiency values were calculated for gamma-ray sources and neutron source using MCNP6 and compared with measurement experiments of the calibration sources. In addition, behavioral characteristics of neutrons were validated by comparing simulations and experiments on neutron moderation with various polyethylene (PE) moderator thicknesses. Results and Discussion: Both results showed good agreements in overall characteristics of the gamma and neutron detection efficiencies, with consistent ~20% discrepancy. Furthermore, moderation of neutrons emitted from $^{252}Cf$ showed similarities between the simulation and the experiment, in terms of their relative ratios depending on the thickness of the PE moderator. Conclusion: A CLYC detector system was characterized for its energy resolution and detection efficiency, and Monte Carlo simulations on the detector system was validated experimentally. Validation of the simulation results in overall trend of the CLYC detector behavior will provide the fundamental basis and validity of follow-up Monte Carlo simulation studies for the development of our dual-particle imager using a rotational modulation collimator.

  • The current multimorbidity correction method in the Global Burden of Disease studies assumes the independent occurrence of diseases. Those studies use Monte-Carlo simulations to adjust for the presence of multiple disease conditions for all diseases. The present study investigated whether the above-mentioned assumption is reasonable based on the prevalence confirmed from actual data. This study compared multimorbidity-adjusted years of lived with disability (YLD) obtained by Monte-Carlo simulations and multimorbidity-adjusted YLD using multimorbidity prevalence derived from National Health Insurance Service data. The 5 most common diseases by sex and age groups were selected as diseases of interest. No significant differences were found between YLD estimations made using actual data and Monte-Carlo simulations, even though assumptions about the independent occurrence of diseases should be carefully applied. The prevalence was not well reflected according to disease characteristics in those under the age of 30, among whom there was a difference in YLD between the 2 methods. Therefore, when calculating the burden of diseases for Koreans over the age of 30, it is possible to calculate the YLD with correction for multimorbidity through Monte-Carlo simulation, but care should be taken with under-30s. It is useful to apply the efficiency and suitability of calibration for multiplicative methods using Monte-Carlo simulations in research on the domestic disease burden, especially in adults in their 30s and older. Further research should be carried out on multimorbidity correction methodology according to the characteristics of multiple diseases by sex and age.
