Centrifugal fans are widely used and the noise generated by these machines causes one of the most serious problems. In general, the centrifugal fan noise is often dominated by tones at BPF(blade passage frequency) and its higher harmonics. This is a consequence of the strong interaction between the flow discharged from the impeller and the cutoff in the casing. However, only a few research have been carried out on predicting the noise because of the difficulty in obtaining detailed information about the flow field and casing effects on noise radiation. The objective of this study is to understand the generation mechanism of sound and to develop a prediction method for the unsteady flow field and the acoustic pressure field of a centrifugal fan. We assume that the impeller rotates with a constant angular velocity and the flow field of the impeller is incompressible and inviscid. So, a discrete vortex method(DVM) is used to model the centrifugal fan and to calculate the flow field. The force of each element on the blade is calculated by the unsteady Bernoulli equation. Lowsons method is used to predict the acoustic source. In order to compare the experimental data, a centrifugal impeller and wedge introduced by Weidemann are used in the numerical calculation and the results are compared with the experimental data. Reasonable results are obtained not only for the peak frequencies but also for the amplitudes of the tonal.

We previously observed that the transcription of some flagellar genes decreased in Salmonella Typhimurium tdcA mutant, which is a gene encoding the transcriptional activator of the tdc operon. Since flagella-mediated bacterial motility accelerates the invasion of Salmonella, we have examined the effect of tdcA mutation on the invasive ability as well as the flagellar biosynthesis in S. Typhimurium. A tdcA mutation caused defects in motility and formation of flagellin protein, FliC in S. Typhimurium. Invasion assays in the presence of a centrifugal force confirmed that the defect of flagellum synthesis decreases the ability of Salmonella to invade into cultured epithelial cells. In addition, we also found that the expression of Salmonella pathogenicity island 1 (SPI1) genes required for Salmonella invasion was down-regulated in the tdcA mutant because of the decreased expression of fliZ, a positive regulator of SPI1 transcriptional activator, hilA. Finally, the virulence of a S. Typhimurium tdcA mutant was attenuated compared to a wild type when administered orally. This study implies the role of tdcA in the invasion process of S. Typhimurium.

This paper presents a numerical study of the wave loads acting on offshore structures using a Cartesian-grid-based flow simulation method. Finite volume discretization with a volume-of-fluid (VOF) method is adopted to solve two-phase Navier-Stokes equations. Among the many variations of the VOF method, the CICSAM scheme is applied. The body boundary conditions are satisfied using a porosity function, and wave generation is carried out by using transient (wave or damping) zone approaches. In order to validate the present numerical method, three different basic offshore structures, including a sphere, Pinkster barge, and Wigley model, are numerically investigated. First, diffraction and radiation problems are solved using the present numerical method. The wave exciting and drift forces from the diffraction problems are compared with potential-based solutions. The added mass and wave damping forces from the radiation problems are also compared with the potential results. Next, the wave-induced motion responses of the structures are calculated and compared with the existing experimental data. The comparison results are fairly good, showing the validity of the present numerical method.

Fiber lasers have made remarkable progress over the past three decades, and they now serve far-reaching applications and have even become indispensable in many technology sectors. As there is an insatiable appetite for improved performance, whether relating to enhanced spatio-temporal stability, spectral and noise characteristics, or ever-higher power and brightness, thermal management in these systems becomes increasingly critical. Active convective cooling, such as through flowing water, while highly effective, has its own set of drawbacks and limitations. To overcome them, other synergistic approaches are being adopted that mitigate the sources of heating at their roots, including the quantum defect, concentration quenching, and impurity absorption. Here, these optical methods for thermal management are briefly reviewed and discussed. Their main philosophy is to carefully select both the lasing and pumping wavelengths to moderate, and sometimes reverse, the amount of heat that is generated inside the laser gain medium. First, the sources of heating in fiber lasers are discussed and placed in the context of modern fiber fabrication methods. Next, common methods to measure the temperature of active fibers during laser operation are outlined. Approaches to reduce the quantum defect, including tandem-pumped and short-wavelength lasers, are then reviewed. Finally, newer approaches that annihilate phonons and actually cool the fiber laser below ambient, including radiation-balanced and excitation-balanced fiber lasers, are examined. These solutions, and others yet undetermined, especially the latter, may prove to be a driving force behind a next generation of ultra-high-power and/or ultra-stable laser systems.

목 적 : 본원에서 사용하는 양성자 에너지는 크기에 따라 도달거리가 달라지며, Compensator는 Distal 두께에 따라 Energy의 크기를 다르게 할 수 있으며 이로 인해 Dose rate이 변화된다. 따라서 Compensator distal의 두께를 변화시키면서 Dose 분포 및 Beam on time에 대한 영향을 평가해보고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 : 본원에서 양성자치료를 받은 에너지가 낮은 환자 5명을 대상으로 실험하였다. 선택된 환자들의 기존 치료 시 Beam on time을 확인하였으며 이 후 양성자치료계획시스템(TPS)을 통하여 Compensator의 Distal 두께를 기존 두께에서 2 cm씩 최대 14 cm까지 증가시켜가며 치료계획을 비교 평가하였다. Dose 분포를 평가하기 위하여 Target의 Conformity Index(CI)값과 Homogeneity Index(HI)값, Target 후면부의 Organ at risk(OAR)의 최대선량을 비교하였으며 치료시간에 대한 영향을 평가하고자 Compensator Distal 두께 별로 제작하여 Beam on time을 비교하여 평가하였다. 결 과 : Compensator의 Distal 두께를 증가시켜 Homogeneity Index, Conformity Index를 분석한 결과 모든 환자에서 동일한 수치가 나왔다. Target 후면부의 OAR을 비교한 결과 Abdomen의 Spine cord에 최대 7 cGy, Eyeball의 RT Lens에서 88 cGy, Nasal cavity의 RT Lens에 391 cGy, Mediastinum의 Trachea에 51 cGy, Pelvis의 Small bowl에 661 cGy 증가하였다. Beam on time을 비교한 결과 Abdomen의 경우 기존 126초에서 최대 62초, Eyeball의 경우 105초에서 37초, Nasal cavity의 경우 기존 187초에서 134초, Mediastinum의 경우 기존 100초에서 40초, Pelvis의 경우 기존 440초에서 118초로 감소하였다. 결 론 : 연구결과 Compensator의 distal 두께가 두꺼워질수록 에너지의 크기를 증가시킬 수 있으며 Dose rate이 증가하여 Beam on time이 감소하는 효과가 있었다. 이는 Beam on time이 많이 소요되는 호흡동조치료를 요하는 Liver, 마취를 하는 소아환자에게 적용한다면 치료시간 단축과 환자의 편의성 면에서 큰 도움을 줄 것으로 평가된다. 하지만 에너지의 크기가 증가할수록 Distal penumbra가 증가하기 때문에 Target 후면부에 OAR이 인접해 있는 경우는 양성자치료계획 시 Penumbra의 영향을 고려한 적절한 Compensator 두께를 설정할 필요가 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Both MgO and $Sc_2O_3$ are shown to provide low interface state densities (in the $10^{11}{\;}eV^{-1}{\;}cm{\;}^{-2}$ range)on n-and p-GaN, making them useful for gate dielectrics for metal-oxide semiconductor(MOS) devices and also as surface passivation layers to mitigate current collapse in GaN/AlGaN high electron mobility transistors(HEMTs).Clear evidence of inversion has been demonstrated in gate-controlled MOS p-GaN diodes using both types of oxide. Charge pumping measurements on diodes undergoing a high temperature implant activation anneal show a total surface state density of $~3{\;}{\times}{\;}10^{12}{\;}cm^{-2}$. On HEMT structures, both oxides provide effective passivation of surface states and these devices show improved output power. The MgO/GaN structures are also found to be quite radiation-resistant, making them attractive for satellite and terrestrial communication systems requiring a high tolerance to high energy(40MeV) protons.

Present guided missiles are equipped with infrared seeker to find the infrared sources radiating from target plane and then chase, which results in an improvement of the hitting success rate when in striking target objects. To interrupt the chases from the guided missile, the target plane spreads the flare, avoiding the missile attracts. Our research is to develop a 2-color infrared identification technique to discern the flare and real thermal source from target plane. Considering flare radiation properties and EM atmosphere transmission rates, two channels were selected, in which main channel (MC) was in a range of 3.7 μm∼4.8 μm and auxiliary channel (AC) in 1.7 μm∼2.3 μm. A 2500K heat source was used for an artificial flare source, while a 570K heat source was utilized for airplane infrared source in experimental testing. Two infrared sensors detectable only at each chanel were employed in order to measure the voltage ratio from two channels, identifying the flare and real target plane via comparison the voltage ratio. Several experimental conditions were imported in order to prove that our proposed 2-color infrared identification technique is very efficient way to discern heat sources from aircraft and flare, demonstrating that our proposed technique is very promising means for our force’s InfraRed Counter Counter Measure (IRCCM) in order to countermeasure opposite force’s InfraRed Counter Measures (IRCM).

In recent years, the size of plane substrates and semiconductor wafers has increased. As conventional contact transportation systems composed of, for example, carrier rollers, belt conveyers, and robot hands carry these longer and wider substrates, the increased weight results in increased potential for fracture. A noncontact transportation system is required to solve this problem. We propose a new noncontact transportation system combining acoustic viscous and aerostatic forces to provide damage-free transport. In this system, substrates are supported by aerostatic force and transported by acoustic viscous streaming induced by traveling wave deformation of a disk-type stator. A ring-type piezoelectric transducer bonded on the stator excites vibration. A stator with a high Q piezoelectric transducer can generate traveling vibrations with amplitude of $3.2{\mu}m$. Prior to constructing a carrying road for substrates, we clarified the basic properties of this technique and stator vibration characteristics experimentally. We constructed the experimental equipment using a rotational disk with a 95-mm diameter. Electric power was 70 W at an input voltage of 200 Vpp. A rotational torque of $8.5\times10^{-5}Nm$ was obtained when clearance between the stator and disk was $120{\mu}m$. Finally, we constructed a noncontact transport apparatus for polycrystalline silicon wafers $(150(W)\times150(L)\times0.3(t))$, producing a carrying speed of 59.2 mm/s at a clearance of 0.3 mm between the stator and wafer. The carrying force when four stators acted on the wafer was $2\times10^{-3}N$. Thus, the new noncontact transportation system was demonstrated to be effective.

두경부암 방사선치료 시 공동 경계면 및 주변 치료 부위의 선량 균일도 향상을 위하여 조직 등가의 thermoplastic 구강 보상체를 개발하였다. Thermoplastic의 유용성 평가를 위해, 기존에 사용해 오던 치과용 인상재료인 paraffin, alginate, 그리고 putty로 제작한 각 구강 보상체의 물성 및 선량 분포 향상도를 비교하였다. 물성 평가에는 강도 평가(압축 실험, 낙하 실험)와 자연변형도(시간에 따른 체적 변화) 평가를 수행하였으며, 개발한 선량 검증용 팬톰에 삽입한 유리선량계와 Gafchromic EBT2 필름을 이용하여 표면선량, 공동 경계면 선량 및 빔 측면도를 측정하여 전달 선량을 평가하였다. 두 달간 각 구강 보상체의 자연변형도 평가하였을 때, alginate는 수분증발로 최대 80% 체적 변화를 보였으나, thermoplastic을 포함한 나머지 조직 등가 물질은 체적 변화가 3% 미만으로 나타났다. 강도 평가 중 5회 반복한 1.5 m 높이의 자유 낙하실험에서 paraffin은 충격에 의하여 파손이 발생되었으나, thermoplastic은 낙하에 의한 파손이 발생되지 않았으며, 압축 강도 실험에서도 paraffin에 비하여 8배 이상의 높은 힘에서도 파손되지 않았다. 유리선량계를 이용한 선량 검증 결과, 1문 조사 시 조직등가[약 80 HU (Hounsfield Unit)]의 thermoplastic은 동일한 처방 선량 전달 시 약 1,000 HU 이상의 값을 나타내는 putty에 비해 4% 낮은 출력계수(monitor unit) 전달로 약 4.9%의 낮은 표면 선량을 전달하였다. 또한 빔 입사 방향을 기준으로 할 때, 구강 통과 후 경계면의 빔 측면도에서 선량 균일도 평가를 위해 측정한 조사영역 편평도는 air, thermoplastic, putty에서 각각 11.41, 3.98, 4.30으로 나타났다. Thermoplastic 구강 보상체는 조직 등가 물질로 기존에 사용해오던 구강 보상체에 비하여 강도가 높고 물질 변형 확률이 적으며, 구강을 포함을 경계면 및 주변 부위에 균일한 선량 분포를 형성할 수 있으므로 균일한 처방 선량 전달 및 피부 선량 감소가 가능하다.
