Two-dimensional photonic quasicrystal (PQCs) template patterns have been fabricated on a 1.1 ${\mu}m$-thick DMI-150 photoresist using a multiple-exposure holographic method. A 442-nm HeCd laser was utilized as a light source and the holographic exposure was carried out at a fixed angle of ${\theta}$ = 6$^{\circ}$. After the first holographic exposure, the sample was rotated to a proper angle and the second exposure was performed to the same manner. This exposure process was repeated n/2 times to obtain n-fold symmetric PQC patterns and then the sample was developed. The diffraction patterns of the fabricated PQC template were observed using a 632.8-nm HeNe laser. The fabricated PQCs exhibited 8, 10 and 12-fold rotational symmetry, which was in a good agreement with the interference simulation results. In addition, the diffraction patterns with n-rotation symmetry were observed for the corresponding n-fold PQCs. We believe that the multiple-exposure holography is a good method to fabricate the mesoscale PQCs with a high rotational symmetry.

Exposed type waterproofing PVC sheets installed on structure rooftops are subject to changes in physical properties after longterm exposure to sunlight. Particularly when consideration the rotational movement of sunlight over the day through the course of the sun rising from the east and setting in the west, in the case of flat roofs the amount of UV ray the the surface of the PVC waterproofing sheet receives may be even throughout, but in cases of slanted rooftops the sunlight exposure may be uneven across the surface. In this regard, this study examines the effect uneven sunlight exposure on the exposed type waterproofing PVC sheets installed on slanted rooftops.

전립선암의 방사선치료 시 사용되는 세기조절방사선치료와 부피적회전방사선치료시 발생하는 광중성자선량을 측정하여, 암 발생률을 평가하며 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. Rando phantom에 중성자 측정용 광자극발광선량계를 복부와 갑상선에 위치시킨 상태에서 발생하는 광중성자선량을 측정하였다. 연구결과 세기조절방사선치료(7 portal)가 부피적회전방사선치료보다 복부와 갑상선 위치에서 모두 높게 측정되었다. ICRP 103의 명목위험계수를 이용하여 암 발생확률을 평가하였을 때, 세기조절방사선치료시 대장과 갑상선의 피폭으로 인한 암발생확률은 1,000명 당 9.9명 이었으며, 부피적회전방사선치료시는 1,000명 당 3.5명이었다. ALARA(As low as reasonably archievable)원칙에 의거하여 방사선치료계획 수립에 있어서 정상장기들의 피폭선량의 최소화를 위한 가이드라인이 되리라 사료된다.

Background: This study aims to derive the characteristics of each work type for industrial radiography based on empirical evidence through expert advice and a survey of radiation workers of various types of industrial radiography. Materials and Methods: According to a Korean report, work types of industrial radiography are classified into indoor tests, underground pipe tests, tests in a shielded room (radiographic testing [RT] room test), outdoor field tests, and outdoor large structure tests. For each work type, exposure geometry and radiation sources were mainly identified through the expert advice and workers' survey as reliable empirical evidence. Results and Discussion: The expert advice and survey results were consistent as the proportion of the work types were high in the order of RT room test, outdoor large structure test, underground pipe test, outdoor field test, and indoor test. The outdoor large structure test is the highest exposure risk work type in the industrial radiography. In most types of industrial radiography, radiation workers generally used ¹⁹²Ir as the main source. In the results of the survey, the portion of sources was high in the order of ¹⁹²Ir, X-ray generator, ⁶⁰Co, and ⁷⁵Se. As the exposure geometry, the antero-posterior geometry is dominant, and the rotational and isotropic geometry should be also considered with the work type. Conclusion: In this study, through expert advice and a survey, the external exposure characteristics for each work type of industrial radiography workers were derived. This information will be used in the reconstruction of organ dose for health effects assessment of Korean radiation workers.

일반 X-선 촬영에서 경험이 없는 비숙련자의 경우, 검사 실패의 경험을 통해 숙련되는 과정을 겪는다. 이것은 불필요한 의료 피폭 가중의 문제를 유발한다. 본 연구에서는 배치 전 비숙련 방사선사가 임상 숙련도를 높일 수 있는 방안으로, 시각적, 공간적 보조 장치를 이용한 두개골 측방향 촬영 실습을 통해, 촬영 보조장치 사용에 따른 정확도와 유용성을 평가하였다. 육안적 관찰과 학습에 의존해서 촬영한 경우 영상 왜곡을 나타내는 회전 이격도 7.85 ± 1.45 mm, 기울임 이격도 4.84 ± 0.5 mm였다. 시각적 보조 장치를 이용해서 실습한 경우 회전 이격도 4.4 ± 0.76 mm, 기울임 이격도 3.01 ± 0.87mm였다. 공간적 보정 기구를 이용해서 실습한 경우 회전과 기울임 이격도는 5.2 ± 0.69 mm, 3.33 ± 0.61 mm로 나타났다. 배치 후 작업 환경과 동일한 조건에서 경험적 촬영 실습에 의한 영상 왜곡은 5.4% 감소하였으나, 기울임에 의한 영상 왜곡은 1.2% 증가하였다. 시각적 보조 장치를 이용해서 실습한 경우, 경험적 촬영 실습보다 회전이격도 40.1% 기울임 이격도 30.7% 감소하였다. 공간적 보정 기구를 사용할 경우, 기존의 경험적 실습 방식보다 회전 이격도 41.7%, 기울임 이격도 23.7% 감소하였다. 따라서 비숙련 방사선사의 배치 전 시각적, 공간적 촬영 보조 기구를 이용한 실습은 배치 후 검사 정확도 향상과 재촬영률 감소에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Background: This study evaluated occupational exposure levels of doxorubicin in healthcare workers performing rotational intraperitoneal pressurized aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) procedures. Methods: All samples were collected during PIPAC procedures applying doxorubicin to an experimental animal model (pigs). All procedures were applied to seven pigs, each for approximately 44 min. Surface samples (n = 51) were obtained from substances contaminating the PIPAC devices, surrounding objects, and protective equipment. Airborne samples were also collected around the operating table (n = 39). All samples were analyzed using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Results: Among the surface samples, doxorubicin was detected in only five samples (9.8%) that were directly exposed to antineoplastic drug aerosols in the abdominal cavity originating from PIPAC devices. The telescopes showed concentrations of 0.48-5.44 ng/cm² and the trocar showed 0.98 ng/cm² in the region where the spraying nozzles were inserted. The syringe line connector showed a maximum concentration of 181.07 ng/cm², following a leakage. Contamination was not detected on the surgeons' gloves or shoes. Objects surrounding the operating table, including tables, operating lights, entrance doors, and trocar holders, were found to be uncontaminated. All air samples collected at locations where healthcare workers performed procedures were found to be uncontaminated. Conclusions: Most air and surface samples were uncontaminated or showed very low doxorubicin concentrations during PIPAC procedures. However, there remains a potential for leakage, in which case dermal exposure may occur. Safety protocols related to leakage accidents, selection of appropriate protective equipment, and the use of disposable devices are necessary to prevent occupational exposure.

Notion sickness is well known to be caused by long time exposure to the very low frequency motion in the multiple axes of human body Since the vestibular system for the perception of low frequency motion is located in the head, accurate measurement of 6 degree of freedom head motion is of great importance. In this study, the measurement system consisting of a safety helmet and 9 translational accelerometers was constructed for the estimation of 3 translational and 3 rotational motions of human head. Since estimation errors of 3 rotational components can be significantly magnified even by small offset of the sensitivity axis from the geometric center of an accelerometer, accurate measurement of sensitivity axis must be preceded. The method for accurate estimation of the offset was proposed, and the effect of offset on the estimation of angular acceleration was investigated.

High-voltage isolating switches play a paramount role in ensuring the safety of power supply systems. However, their exposure to outdoor environmental conditions may cause serious physical defects, which may result in great risk to power supply systems and society. Image processing-based methods have been used for anomaly detection. However, their accuracy is affected by numerous uncertainties due to manually extracted features, which makes the anomaly detection of isolating switches still challenging. In this paper, a vision-based anomaly detection method for isolating switches, which uses the rotational angle of the switch system for more accurate and direct anomaly detection with the help of deep learning (DL) and image processing methods (Single Shot Multibox Detector (SSD), improved frame differencing method, and Hough transform), is proposed. The SSD is a deep learning method for object classification and localization. In addition, an improved frame differencing method is introduced for better feature extraction and a hough transform method is adopted for rotational angle calculation. A number of experiments are conducted for anomaly detection of single and multiple switches using video frames. The results of the experiments demonstrate that the SSD outperforms the You-Only-Look-Once network. The effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method have been proven under various conditions, such as different illumination and camera locations using 96 videos from the experiments.
