Radioactive materials need to control, measure and protect precisely the overflow because they are dangerous. In this paper, GM-counter type radiation detector system, that can precisely measure the quantity of radioactivity using improved counting program is designed and program that can store and transfer the counted data is studied. The manufactured system, counting system of GM-counter type radiation detector, and counter program can be utilized to measure them at various methods in an atomic power plant and research centers.

We present a new tool to measure precisely the emissive properties of displays at the pixel level with submicrometric spatial resolution. It is useful to check the technological defects and their impact on the emissive properties of the displays. Backlight films and transflective and reflective displays are measured.

Emax, end-systolic pressure-volume relationship, has been established as a new concept which can be representative of ventricular contractility itself since 1970s. Comparing to ejection fraction[EF], Emax is independent of preload and afterload. However Emax has not been proved precisely in non-thoracotomized condition because current methods have limitation in measuring ventricular chamber volume accurately in in viva state. The Dynamic Spatial Reconstructor[DSR], high speed computerized tomography, can measure ventricular chamber volume accurately throughout cardiac cycle in non-thoracotomized state. So Emax and EF of the left ventricle was tried to measure precisely in in vivo condition with DSR. Emax was compared to EF to estimate its ability to evaluate ventricular contractility. 5 mongrel dogs, weighing 15-16kg, were used for measuring Emax and EF of the left ventricle in 3 or 4 different loading conditions using DSR. Emax value in 5 dogs was from 2.62 to 10.49. Each dog has one Emax value regardless of loading conditions. However EF in 5 dogs varies depending on loading conditions. The conclusions are that Emax is useful in in viva state and EF varies depending on loading conditions. So Emax should be tried to use in clinical situation rather than EF because it is always representative of contractility itself regardless loading conditions in in viva state.

In this paper we present a measurable version of the Smale's spectral decomposition theorem for homeomorphisms on compact metric spaces. More precisely, we prove that if a homeomorphism f on a compact metric space X is invariantly measure expanding on its chain recurrent set CR(f) and has the eventually shadowing property on CR(f), then f has the spectral decomposition. Moreover we show that f is invariantly measure expanding on X if and only if its restriction on CR(f) is invariantly measure expanding. Using this, we characterize the measure expanding diffeomorphisms on compact smooth manifolds via the notion of Ω-stability.

In this paper, a hierarchical spatio-temporal image segmentation method based on binary split algorithm is proposed. Intensity and displacement vector at each pixel are used for image segmentation. The displacement vectors between two image frames which skip over one or several frames can be approximated by accumulating of the velocity vectors calculated from optical flow between two successive frames when the time interval between the two image frames is short enough or the motion is slow. The pixels whose displacement vector and intensity are ambiguous are precisely decided by the modified watershed algorithm using the proposed priority measure. In the experiment, the region of moving object is precisely segmented.

Deformation of soft tissue is known inhomogeneous and non-linear in general. In this study, we propose a measurement methodology of local/global strain during soft tissue elongation precisely using laser extensometer which has high accuracy, resolution and is possible to measure global/local strain. The mechanical tensile test are performed on tibialis cranialis, flexor hallucis longus, extensor digitorum longus of swine hindlimb. In order to measure target displacement, reflective marker is attached to detect elongation on specimen using surgical adhesive. The result of this study is to show that laser extensometer is valid to measure longitudinal elongation which is inhomogeneous and non-linear fur soft tissue.

We proposed a new sensitivity verification method for the UHF partial discharge(PD) detection system. Initially, we measure the UHF power induced by 5 pC PD which takes place near UHF sensor. Subsequently, we inject the swept UHF signal from a network analyzer into the GIS and measure the attenuation of the signal along the 71S Both the UHF power by 5 pC PD and the attenuation make it possible to verify the sensitivity and spatial coverage of the PD detection system. This method doesn\`t require the calibration of injected pulse type UHF signal into the GIS and makes us precisely measure the attenuation in frequency domain.

Objectives : Anorexia is the primary symptom impinging cancer patients' Quality of Life. It is usually accompanied by gastrointestinal symptoms(GI symptoms). Thus, to measure anorexia symptom precisely, assessing anorexia and GI symptoms together is recommended. This study was designed to analyze cancer-related anorexia assessment tools, extract GI symptoms included in these tools and investigate usefulness of instruments in clinical trials. Methods : Instruments were selected by searching PubMed, PROQOLID database. We analyzed instruments by number of items, assessment method, type of question, GI symptoms. Results : 9 instruments were selected to assess cancer-related anorexia symptom. Most tools adopt Likert scale as response scale and 'during past week' as recall period. Assessment method of all 9 instruments is the self-administration. Questions measuring anorexia are able to be sorted into 3 forms (frequency, severeness, distress of anorexia symptom). Among the GI symptoms, nausea is included in all 9 instruments. In clinical trials of cancer-related anorexia, Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale(ESAS) and Functional Assessment of Anorexia/Cachexia Therapy Questionnaire(FAACT) were selected as endpoint measure. Conclusions : The result showed that FAACT is the only specialized tool to assess cancer-related anorexia. To measure cancer-related anorexia precisely, the need to develop new instrument exists.

It is important to measure precisely the size and velocity of micro-bubbles used in various field. The synchrotron X-ray micro-imaging technique was employed to measure the size and velocity of micro-bubbles moving in an opaque tube simultaneously. Phase contrast images were obtained at interfaces of micro-bubbles between water and air due to their different refractive indices. The X-ray micro-imaging technique was found to measure an optical fiber with an accuracy of 0.2%. Micro-bubbles of 20∼60$\mu\textrm{m}$ diameter moving upward in an opaque tube (${\Phi}$＝2.7mm) were tested to measure bubble size and up-rising velocity. For DI water, the measured velocity of micro-bubbles is nearly proportional to the square of bubble size, agreed well with the theoretical result. In addition, the synchrotron X-ray micro-imaging technique can measure accurately the size and velocity of several overlapped micro-bubbles.

Phase contrast images were obtained at interfaces of micro-bubbles between water and air due to their different refractive indices. The X-ray micro-imaging technique was found to measure an optical fiber with an accuracy of 0.2%. Micro-bubbles of $10{\sim}60{\mu}m$ diameter moving upward in an opaque tube (${\phi}=2.7mm$) were tested to measure bubble size and up-rising velocity. For DI water, the measured velocity of micro-bubbles is nearly proportional to the square of bubble size, agreed well with the theoretical result. In addition, the synchrotron X-ray micro-imaging technique can measure accurately the size and velocity of several overlapped micro-bubbles.
