목 적: 두경부암의 치료에 있어 상부 두경부의 양측면조사면과 하경부의 전방조사면의 접합부위에 균등한 선량을 조사하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 접합부위의 선량분포개선을 위하여 하경부 전방조사면의 치료시 Field-in-Field technique을 이용하여 부족선량(under dose)과 초과선량(over dose)으로 인한 선량불균등을 개선하고 일반치료와의 비교를 통하여 두경부암치료에 적용하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 상부 두경부의 양측면 조사시 빔의 확산으로 일어나는 입사점과 출사점의 선량차이를 알아보기 위하여 인체모형팬톰을 이용하였다. 인체모형팬톰을 전산화단층촬영하고 전산화치료계획에서 관심점의 선량비교를 시행하였고, 하경부 접합부위의 선량비율을 계산하여 이를 보정하였다. 조사면 접합부위의 선량분포를 알아보기 위하여 하경부의 접합부위에 저감도 필름을 놓고 일반적인 치료인 상부 두경부의 양측면조사와 하경부의 전방조사시 선량분포를 측정하였다. 또한, 상부 두경부 양측면 조사에 따른 빔의 확산을 고려한 Field-in-Field technique을 이용하여 하경부 전방조사를 할 때의 접합부위의 선량분포 차이를 측정하여 비교하였다. 접합부위의 관심점 선량을 알아보기 위하여 열형광선량계를 이용하여 인체모형팬톰내의 관심점에서의 선량변화를 비교, 분석하였다. 결 과: 전산화치료계획에서 하경부의 접합부위에 Field-in-Field technique을 적용하여 치료계획시 상부 두경부 양측면 조사와 선량합성을 한 경우 부족선량 영역의 선량이 4.7~8.65% 이상 증가하였다. 초과선량 영역의 선량도 2.75~10.45% 감소하였다. 또한, 저감도 필름을 이용한 측정에서는 부족선량영역에서 11.3% 증가, 초과선량영역에서 5.3% 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 열형광선량계를 이용한 관심점선량측정에서도 Field-in-Field technique 적용시 부족선량을 최소 7.5%에서 최대 17.6%까지 보정해주는 것으로 나타나 불균등한 선량분포를 개선할 수 있었다. 결 론: 전산화치료계획시 빔의 확산을 고려한 Field-in-Field technique을 적용하면 접합부위의 선량보정을 통해 냉점(cold spot)과 온점(hot spot)을 줄일 수 있었으며 특히, 빔의 확산에 따른 입사점의 부족선량을 보정할 수 있었다. 본 실험을 통해 Field-in-Field technique의 임상적용시 경부임파절의 저선량으로 인한 임파절전이에 대한 위험도를 감소시킬 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Several formulae have been proposed to estimate the viscous resistance of ships by wake surveys. Both the total head and the velocity should be measured. The integration of he total head loss shows over estimations of the resistance by about 10%. Therefore measurements of the velocity are required, which need much more works. A simple method is suggested in this paper to take accout of the velocity-defect from the measured total head. It gives reasonable estimations of the viscous resistance within the experimental accuracy. Experimental data of a low-drag body of revolution in the wind-tunnel and Series 60 model, CB=0.6 in the tank are used to verify the suggested formula.

This dissertation analyzes the running mechanism of flexible and thin tape above rotating head through the numerical simulation and the experiment. The scope of analysis is confined to the phenomena of two dimensional elasto hydrodynamic lubrication between the protruded bump on a rotating cylinder and the running tape. This model is based on the elastic deformation equation of plate and shell and Reynolds equation. Finite difference method is employed as a numerical technique to calculate (1) the distribution of pressure between the running tape and rotating bump and (2) the vertical deformation of elastic thin tape over he rotating bump under hydrodynamic pressure. In numerical analyses, the effects of bump size on flying characteristics of the tape were evaluated and examined considering the influence of tension and stiffness of tape.

Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR) is one of the most promising candidates for high density magnetic storages over 1 Tb/$in^2$ areal density. Since the precise light delivery to the head is a key factor to realize HAMR application, it is required to establish the light delivery using micro laser module and micro actuator. For the careful control of micro actuator, a laser module was designed including laser diode, optical fiber, collimating lens, and fabricated V-groove substrate. In addition, the basic aligning method between the laser module and HAMR head was studied by the detection of current change in photo diode due to the amount of reflected light from the head.

Current fighter pilots, flying new generation aircrafts with high performance, are under severe stress during aerial combat maneuvering when they are exposed to high sustained +Gz(Head-to-foot) acceleration stress. Two major factor limiting performance during high sustaied +Gz acceleration stress are loss of vision-greyout or blackout, and loss of consciousness (LOC). These symptoms are believed to occur as a result of insuff- icient blood flow to the retina and the brain. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of high sustained +Gz stress under different seat back angle. The results. obtained by the biodvanmic computer simulations using the ATB(articulated total body) model, are represented with respect to three variables, such as HIC(head injury criterion) value, average G, and maximum G. The results demonstrate that the seat back angle(over $30^{\circ}C$) had a significant effect to decrease +Gz stress on the head segment and had no significant effect on HIC.

Metastatic squamous carcinoma of the head and neck may rarely present as a cyst in the cervical region. The true incidence of metastatic cystic neck mass is unknown. It is difficult to differentiate metastatic cystic neck mass from congenital cystic neck mass with physical examination and fine needle aspiration biopsy. So the differential diagnosis is dependent on the age of the patient, and therefore in the patient over the 40 years of age, the possibility of a metastatic neck mass should be considered. We report a metastatic cystic neck mass which had been misdiagnosed as a branchial cleft cyst.

We have studied the effect of head of the line blocking (HOLB) on session initiation protocol (SIP) session establishment delays. Our results are based on experiments performed in a test bed and on the public Internet. We used the stream control transmission protocol (SCTP) as a transport for SIP because SCTP can be configured to suffer or to avoid HOLB. Our experiments show that the effect of HOLB on session establishment delays generally starts to be significant starting at fairly low packet loss rates. However, there are scenarios where network conditions are good enough to make the effect of HOLB insignificant.

Benign triton tumor (BTT) or neuromuscular hamartoma is an uncommon tumor composed of mature neural and well-differentiated striated muscular elements. Its development is exceptionally rare in the adult and head region. This report describes a case of adulthood BTT that occurred in the orbit. The patient was a 53-year-old woman who presented with right periorbital swelling and pain in eyeball over 2 months. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a well-enhancing mass surrounding optic nerve and ocular muscles in the right retrobulbar area. The tumor was subtotally removed via transcranial approach. Its pathological diagnosis was confirmed to be a neuromuscular hamartoma. She developed diplopia postoperatively. Adulthood BTT should be considered in the differential diagnosis of head and neck tumors. It is also important to make adequate therapeutic strategy to avoid postoperative neural dysfunction.

A two dimensional Darrieus-type turbine has been proposed for the hydropower utilization of extra-low head less than 2m. In a practical use of Darrieus-type hydro-turbine, head and flow rate may be varied temporally and seasonally. Considering that the cost advantage is required for the low head hydro turbine system, the Darrieus turbine should be operated with high efficiency in the wider range of flow rate possibly by using an additional device with simpler mechanism. In the present paper, an adjustment of inlet nozzle section by lowering the inlet nozzle height is proposed to obtain the preferable inlet velocity in low flow rate conditions. Effects of resulting spanwise partial inlet flow are investigated. Finally, an effective modification of inlet nozzle height over flow rate variation is shown.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to introduce a method of obtaining the oscillation graphs of the dental x-ray tube heads relative to time using an accelerometer. Materials and Methods: An Accelerometer, Piezotron type 8704B25 (Kistler Instrument Co., Amherst, NY, USA) was utilized to measure the horizontal oscillation of the x-ray tube head immediately after positioning the tube head for an intraoral radiograph. The signal from the sensor was transferred to a dynamic signal analyzer, which displayed the magnitude of the acceleration on the Y-axis and time lapse on the X -axis. The horizontal oscillation of the tube head was measured relative to time, and the settling time was also determined on the basis of the acceleration graphs for 6 wall type, 5 floor-fixed type, and 4 mobile type dental x-ray machines. Results : The oscillation graphs showed that tube head movement decreased rapidly over time. The settling time varied with x-ray machine types. Wall-type x-ray machines had a settling time of up to 6 seconds, 5 seconds for fixed floor-types, and 1 I seconds for the mobile-types. Conclusion: Using an accelerometer, we obtained the oscillation graphs of the dental x-ray tube head relative to time. The oscillation graph with time can guide the operator to decide upon the optimum exposure moment after x-ray tube head positioning for better radiographic resolution.
