  • Purpose: Planning target volume (PTV) for tumors in abdomen or thorax includes enough margin for breathing-related movement of tumor volumes during treatment. We developed a simple and handy method, which can reduce PTV margins in patients with moving tumors, respiratory motion reduction device system (RMRDs). Materials and Methods: The patients clinical database was structured for moving tumor patients and patient setup error measurement and immobilization device effects were investigated. The system is composed of the respiratory motion reduction device utilized in prone position and abdominal presser (strip device) utilized in the supine position, moving phantom and the analysis program, which enables the analysis on patients setup reproducibility. It was tested for analyzing the diaphragm movement and CT volume differences from patients with RMRDs, the magnitude of PTV margin was determined and dose volume histogram (DVH) was computed using a treatment planning software. Dose to normal tissue between patients with RMRDs and without RMRDs was analyzed by comparing the fraction of the normal liver receiving to 50% of the isocenter dose(TD50). Results: In case of utilizing RMRDs, which was personally developed in our hospital, the value was reduced to $5pm1.4 mm$, and in case of which the belt immobilization device was utilized, the value was reduced to 3$pm$0.9 mm. Also in case of which the strip device was utilized, the value was proven to reduce to $4pm.3 mm$0. As a result of analyzing the TD50 is irradiated in DVH according to the radiation treatment planning, the usage of the respiratory motion reduction device can create the reduce of 30% to the maximum. Also by obtaining the digital image, the function of comparison between the standard image, automated external contour subtraction, and etc were utilized to develop patients setup reproducibility analysis program that can evaluate the change in the patients setup. Conclusion: Internal organ motion due to breathing can be reduced using RMRDs, which is simple and easy to use in clinical setting. It can reduce the organ motion-related PTV margin, thereby decrease volume of the irradiated normal tissue.

  • In recent years, increases in impervious areas with rapid urbanization and land use changes are causing numerous hydrologic cycle and environmental problems. Impermeable pavement have a various defect such as collection rainwater, decreasing of sliding resistance, and etc. In this study, the hydrologic cycle effect of permeable pavement were analyzed by the experiment and the numerical simulation. The numerical model used was a modified SWMM especially for considering the hydrologic cycle effect of permeable pavement. The parameters of modified SWMM were revised by the experimental results. Also, the effects of runoff quantity reduction are reviewed when permeable pavement is applied to Incheon Cheongna watershed. The hydrologic cycle analysis of Incheon Cheongna watershed, continuous simulations of urban runoff were performed. The analysis results of permeable pavement setup effect on runoff are follows: the surface runoff after permeable pavement setup decreases to 74.35% of the precipitation whereas the surface runoff before permeable pavement setup amounts to 81.38% of the precipitation; the infiltration after permeable pavement setup increases to 15.13% of the precipitation whereas the infiltration before permeable pavement setup amounts to 8.32% of the precipitation.

  • Based on ISO 7235, an experimental setup to measure the acoustic performance of splitter type dissipative silencers are fabricated. The length of each duct, sound source, microphone locations, modal filter, and anechoic termination are considered in the design of this setup. The modal filter is a particularly important factor because it affects the limit of measurement, which is also determined by the amount of flanking transmission of sound generated by the sound source to microphones. The effects of absorptive materials, media which covers the materials, and the number of splitters on the noise reduction of the sample silencers are experimentally investigated. The insertions loss of silencers with media and higher number of splitters increases, especially at higher frequencies.

  • The purpose is to develop a system to reduce the organ movement from the respiration during the 3DCRT or IMRT. This research reports the experience of utilizing personally developed system for mobile tumors. The patients clinical database was structured for 10 mobile tumors and patient setup error measurement and immobilization device effects were investigated. The RMRD system is composed of the respiratory motion reduction device utilized in prone position and abdominal strip device(ASD) utilized in the supine position, and the analysis program, which enables the analysis on patients setup reproducibility. Dose to normal tissue between patients with RMRDs and without RMRDs was analyzed by comparing the normal tissue volume, field margins and dose volume histogram(DVH) using fluoroscopy and CT images. And, reproducibility of patients setup verify by utilization of digital images. When patients breathed freely, average movement of diaphragm was 1.2 cm in prone position in contrast to 1.6 cm in supine position. In prone position, difference in diaphragm movement with and without RMRDs was 0.5 cm and 1.2 cm, respectively, showing that PTV margins could be reduced to as much as 0.7 cm. With RMRDs, volume of the irradiated normal tissue (lung, liver) reduced up to 20 % in DVH analysis. Also by obtaining the digital image, reproducibility of patients setup verify by visualization using the real-time image acquisition, leading to practical utilization of our software. Internal organ motion due to breathing can be reduced using RMRDs, which is simple and easy to use in clinical setting. It can reduce the organ motion-related PTV margin, thereby decrease volume of the irradiated normal tissue.

  • 목적: 방사선 치료 시 환자의 움직임을 최대한 고정시켜 줄 수 있으며 환자 자세에 대한 Setup 오차를 감소시키고 환자 전신에 산재한 병소를 위치화하고 좌표화할 수 있는 전신 정위 고정장치 제작과 제작한 고정장치에 대한 고정효과 및 재현성을 나타내는 환자 자세의 Setup 오차를 평가하였다. 대상 및 방법: 자체 제작한 고정장치는 크게 기본판(base plate)과 고정틀(Immobilizer), Vacuum cushion, 벨트로 이루어진다. 기본판은 50${\times}$130${\times}$1 ㎤ 베크라이트로 고정틀은 견고한 아세탈 재질을 사용하여 제작하였다. 초기의 Lax frame의 경우, side panel에 부착되어 있는 좌표계(coordinates)를 기본판 바닥에 radiopaque catheter wire를 사용하여 N 타입으로 새겨서 넣어 위치측정이 가능한 좌표계로 적용할 수 있도록 하였다. 제작된 고정장치에 대한 성능실험으로 방사선 투과율 측정 실험과 가상표적을 부착한 지원 환자를 대상으로 표적에 대한 위치측정실험이 수행되었다. 그리고 CCTV 카메라와 Digital Video Recorder (DVR)를 이용하여 획득된 환자 영상을 Matlab 프로그램으로 환자 자세에 대한 Setup 오차를 분석하였다. 결과: 전신 정위 고정장치는 CT 촬영과 방사선치료 시 사용 가능성에 중점을 두고 제작되었다. 이 고정장치의 구조는 갠트리의 회전각의 변화에 따라 충돌하지 않게 제작되었고 측면으로 경사지게 입사되는 빔의 투과율을 최대화할 수 있게 제작되었다. 고정틀의 고정효과를 높여주는 고정벨트는 입사된 빔의 방향에 방해되지 않게 제작되었다. 고정장치에 대한 방사선 투과율은 10과 21 MV의 에너지에서 95, 95%로 측정되었고 지원 환자에 부착한 가상 표적의 위치는 CT 촬영으로 파악할 수 있었다. Matlab 프로그램으로 분석한 setup 오차는 흉부의 측면과 중심부위에서 3.69$\pm$1.60, 2.14$\pm$0.78 mm이고 복부의 측면과 중심부위에서 7.11$\pm$2.10, 6.54$\pm$2.22 mm이며 여자 환자 경우, 가슴 측면의 Setup 오차는 6.33$\pm$1.55 mm으로 측정되었다. 결론: 전신 정위 고정장치의 제작과 실험을 통해 extra-cranial 암에 대한 방사선수술에서 매우 실용적이고 유용하게 사용될 것으로 사료되며 표적 위치 결정과 환자 고정 도구로서 사용될 것이다. 더 많은 환자 치료자세의 Setup 오차 측정이 수행되면 정확한 환자의 Setup 오차의 결과를 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

  • 방사선 치료에서 부정확한 환자 셋업이 표적에 전달되는 선량에 미치는 영향과 치료 마진과의 연관성을 몬테칼로 기법을 사용한 전산모사를 통하여 분석하였다. 실제 방사선 치료를 받은 직장암 환자에 대한 임상표적체적(CTV: Clinical Target Volume) 및 주요장기의 구조와 치료계획 시스템(Eclipse 8.9, USA)을 이용하여 수립된 세기조절 방사선치료계획에서의 선량분포에 대한 데이터를 전산모사에서 사용하였다. 전산모사 프로그램은 리눅스환경에서 오픈소스인 ROOT 라이브러리와 GCC를 기반으로 본 연구를 위하여 개발되었다. 환자셋업오차의 확률분포를 정규분포로 가정한 것에 따라 무작위로 생성된 크기만큼 셋업이 부정확한 경우를 모사하여 임상표적체적에서의 선량분포의 변화와 오차크기에 따른 마진크기를 3차원입체조형 방사선치료에 사용되는 마진공식과 비교분석 하였다. 셋업오차 생성에 사용된 정규분포의 표준편차 크기는 1 mm부터 10 mm까지 1 mm간격으로 두었으며 계통오차와 통계오차별로 2,000번 전산모사했다. 계통오차의 경우 전산모사에 사용된 표준편차가 커질수록 임상표적체적에 조사되는 최소선량 $D_{min}^{stat{\cdot}}$은 100.4%에서 72.50%로 감소하였고 평균선량 $\bar{D}_{syst{\cdot}}$도 100.45%에서 97.88%로 감소한 반면에 표준편차${\Delta}D_{sys}$는 0.02%에서 3.33%로 증가하였다. 통계오차의 경우 최소선량 $D_{min}^{rand{\cdot}}$은 100.45%에서 94.80%감소하였고 평균선량 $\bar{D}_{syst{\cdot}}$도 100.46%에서 97.87%로 감소하였으며 표준편차 ${\Delta}D_{rand}$는 0.01%에서 0.63%로 증가하였다. 그리고 마진공식으로부터 전산모사에 사용된 셋업오차에 해당되는 마진크기를 구하고 모집단비율(population ratio)을 정의하여 기존 마진공식의 목적이 세기조절방사선치료에 만족함을 확인했다. 개발된 전산모사 프로그램은 해당 환자의 치료계획 정보를 직접 사용하므로 직장암만 아니라 두경부암, 전립선암 등 여러 환부에 적용 가능하며 셋업오차 및 선량변화에 연관된 연구에도 사용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

  • The gear-reduction units of Korean high-speed trains consist of a motor reduction unit, an axle gear box reduction unit, and a tripod joint shaft. A reduction gear unit is a gearbox used to reduce the rotational speed of the input shaft to a slower rotational speed on the output shaft. This reduction in output speed helps to increase torque. Defective reduction gear units in high-speed trains are caused by damage to the gear or by gear fatigue. To diagnose potential problems, it is important to know the vibration characteristics of the reduction gear units. In this study, we analyzed the vibration characteristics of reduction gears under various conditions. The test setup included a full-scale test rig to evaluate reduction gear under both normal and extreme operating conditions.

  • In studying an EOQ-like inventory model for a manufacturing process, a number of findings were made. The system can "go out of control" resulting in a relatively minor problem state or "break-down". When the production system is in the minor problem statei produces a number of defective items. It is assumed that each defective piece requires rework cost and related operations. Once the machine breakdown takes place, the production system produces severely defective items that are completely unusable. Each completely unusuable item is immediately discarded and incurs handling cost, scrapped raw material cost and related operations. Two investment options in improving the production process are introduced : (1) reducing the probability of machine breakdown, breakdowns, and (2) simultaneously reducing the probability of machine breakdowns and setup costs. By assuming specific forms of investment cost function, the optimal investment policies are obtained explicitly. Finally, to better understand the model in this paper, the sensitivity of these solutions to changes in parameter values and numerical examples are provided.amples are provided.

The modal filter is a particularly important factor because it affects the limit of measurement. The effects of number of splitters, absorptive material density, perforate plate, and media on the noise reduction of the sample silencers were experimentally investigated. The experimental results show that the insertion loss of a silencer with media, high perforate opening, and higher number of splitters increases especially at higher frequencies.
