한정된 배터리 용량으로 장시간 모바일 시스템을 구동시키기 위하여 저전력 설계에 대한 요구가 높아지면서 PMIC(Power Management IC)의 핵심 부분인 LDO(Low Drop-Out) 레귤레이터의 설계에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 Dongbu HiTek $0.5{\mu}m$ BCDMOS 공정을 이용하여 최적화 기법 중 하나인 기하 프로그래밍(Geometric Programming: GP)을 통해 외부 커패시터가 없는 LDO 레귤레이터의 성능을 최적화하였다. 계수가 양수인 단항식 (monomial)으로 모델링된 트랜지스터의 특성 파라미터들을 이용하여 안정도(stability)와 PSR(Power-Supply Rejection)과 같은 LDO 레귤레이터의 특성을 기하 프로그래밍(Geometric Programming: GP)에 적용 가능한 형태로 유도하였다. 위상 마진(phase margin)과 PSR 모델은 시뮬레이션 결과와 비교하였을 때 각각 평균 9.3 %와 13.1 %의 오차를 보였다. 제안한 모델을 사용하여 PSR 제약 조건이 바뀔 경우, 자동화된 회로 설계를 수행하였고, 모델의 정확도를 검증하였다. 본 논문에서 유도된 안정도와 PSR 모델을 이용하면 회로의 목표 성능이 변화하더라도 부가적인 설계 시간을 줄이면서 목표 성능을 가진 회로를 재설계하는 것이 가능할 것이다.

Purpose: We examined the relationship of interdigital neuroma occurring site and the surrounding structures, including the deep transverse metatarsal ligament (DTML) by cadaver study and clinical results. Materials and Methods: Seventeen fresh frozen cadavers study were done to evaluate the relationship of interdigital neuroma occuring site and the DTML at two phase of the gait cycle with 60 degree of metatarsophalangeal dorsiflexion and with 15 degrees of ankle dorsiflexion. We measured the distance from interdigital nerve bifurcation of the common digital nerve to anterior margin of the DTML and longitudinal length of DTML itself. Clinically, we checked the location of interdigital neuroma and DTML length during surgery in 32 feet. Results: In the second and third web space, the mean distance from bifurcation of the common digital nerve of foot to the anterior margin of DTML was 16.7 mm, 15.1 mm in the mid-stance position, and 15.9 mm. 14.6 mm in heel-off position. Second, Third web space ligament itself length were average 12.8 mm, 10.6 mm. Clinically, all of the cases of interdigital neuroma started at the bifurcation area of the common digital nerve and interdigital neuroma was average 7.5 mm (range; 6-11 mm). Conclusion: Interdigital neuroma were located more distally than DTML in both the mid-stance and heel off stage. The main lesion was located between metatarsal head and metatarsophalangeal joint and more distal than the DTML anterior margin.

Bottom simulating reflectors (BSR), representing the base of the gas hydrate stability field, are widespread on the South Shetland continental margin (SSM), Antarctic Peninsula. With the phase diagram fur the gas hydrate stability field, heat flow can be derived from the BSR depth beneath the seafloor determined on multichannel seismic profiles. The heat flow values in the study area range from $50mW/m^2$ to $85mW/m^2$, averaging to $65mW/m^2$. Small deviation from the average heat flow values suggests that heat flow regime of the study area is relatively stable. The landward decrease of heat flow from the South Shetland Trench to the continental shelf would be attributed to the landward thickening of the accretionary prism and the upward advection of heat associated with fluid expulsion. The continental slope 1500m to 3000m deep, where BSRs are most distinguished in the SSM, shows relatively large variation of heat flow possibly due to complex tectonic activities in the study area. The local high heat flow anomalies observed along the slope may be caused by heat transport mechanisms along a NW-SE trending large-scale fault.

복합재료 샌드위치 구조는 굽힘 강성을 향상시키고 복합재 적층판에 비해 30% 이상의 무게를 절감할 수 있다. 그러나 일반 금속에 비해 제작과정에서 발생되는 재료물성의 불확실성이 많이 내재되어 있으므로 신뢰성 기반 확률론적 설계방법이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 안전계수를 이용한 고전적인 설계 방법이 구조물의 안전을 보장하지 않는다는 확률론적 증거를 제시하기 위하여 단순화된 복합재 샌드위치 동체에 대해 PMS(Probabilistic Margin of Safety)를 계산하였다. 이 과정에서 CMCS(Crude Monte-Carlo Simulation)에 의해 계산된 확률밀도함수를 이용하였다. 더 나아가 신뢰성 기반 최적설계를 수행하고 효율적인 계산을 위해 RBDO-MPDF(RBDO by Moving PDF) 방법을 제시하였다. 본 논문의 결과는 구조물의 신뢰성을 보장하기 위한 개선된 설계 방법과 효율적인 신뢰성 기반 최적설계 방법 연구에 유용할 것이다.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the utility of preoperative CT in predicting early recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma after partial hepatic resection. Materials and Methods: Preoperative three-phase helical CT scans in 53 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma were retrospectively reviewed by two radiologists. In 27 patients (group I), HCC had recurred within six months, while 26 (group II) had remained disease free for at least two years. In each group, preoperative CT findings were evaluated in each group for the tumor size and number, the presence or absence of capsule, distinctness of tumor margin, perinodular extension, and the presence or absence of portal vein thrombosis. Results: In group I, a tumor capsule of tumor was seen in five of 27 patients (19%), and in group II, in 16 of 26 (62%) (p = .001). The tumor margin was distinct in eight patients (30%) in group I and in 20 (77%) in group II (p = .001). Multiple tumors, perinodular extension, and portal vein thrombosis were more frequently seen in group I but the differences were not statistically significant (p > .05). Tumor size was similar in each group (p > .05). Conclusion: Preoperative CT findings that may help predict the early recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma after surgical resection are an absence of capsule of tumors and an indistinct margin. Reference to these findings during preoperative CT can guide clinicians in their choice of treatment.

Online voltage stability monitoring using real-time measurements is one of the most important tasks in a smart grid system to maintain the grid stability. Loading margin is a good indicator for assessing the voltage stability level. This paper presents an Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) approach for estimation of voltage stability level under credible contingencies using real-time measurements from Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs). PMUs enable a much higher data sampling rate and provide synchronized measurements of real-time phasors of voltages and currents. Depth First (DF) algorithm is used for optimally placing the PMUs. To make the ELM approach applicable for a large scale power system problem, Mutual information (MI)-based feature selection is proposed to achieve the dimensionality reduction. MI-based feature selection reduces the number of network input features which reduces the network training time and improves the generalization capability. Voltage magnitudes and phase angles received from PMUs are fed as inputs to the ELM model. IEEE 30-bus test system is considered for demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed methodology for estimating the voltage stability level under various loading conditions considering single line contingencies. Simulation results validate the suitability of the technique for fast and accurate online voltage stability assessment using PMU data.

Traditional autopilot design requires an accurate aerodynamic model and relies on a gain schedule to account for system nonlinearities. This paper presents the control architecture applied to a dynamic model inversion at a single flight condition with an on-line neural network (NN) in order to regulate errors caused by approximate inversion. This eliminates the need for an extensive design process and accurate aerodynamic data. The simulation results using a developed full nonlinear 6 degree of freedom model are presented. This paper also presents the stability evaluation for control systems to which NNs were applied. Although feedback can accommodate uncertainty to meet system performance specifications, uncertainty can also affect the stability of the control system. The importance of robustness has long been recognized and stability margins were developed to quantify it. However, the traditional stability margin techniques based on linear control theory can not be applied to control systems upon which a representative non-linear control method, such as NNs, has been applied. This paper presents an alternative stability margin technique for NNs applied to control systems based on the system responses to an inserted gain multiplier or time delay element.

High precision of planning in the preoperative phase can contribute to increase operational safety during computer-aided spinal fusion surgery, which requires extreme caution on the part of the surgeon, due to the complexity and delicacy of the procedure. In this paper, an advanced preoperative planning framework for spinal fusion is presented. The framework is based on spinal pedicle data obtained from CT (Computed Tomography) images, and provides optimal insertion trajectories and pedicle screw sizes. The proposed approach begins with safety margin estimation for each potential insertion trajectory that passes through the pedicle volume, followed by procedures to collect a set of insertion trajectories that satisfy operation safety objectives. The radius of a pedicle screw was chosen as 70% of the pedicle radius. This framework has been tested on 68 spinal pedicles of 8 patients requiring spinal fusion. It was successfully applied, resulting in an average success rate of 100% and a final safety margin of $2.44{\pm}0.51mm$.
