In marine controlled-source electromagnetic (CSEM) modeling, it may be difficult to evaluate primary fields accurately using conventional linear filters because they decay very rapidly with distance. However, since there exists a closed-form solution to the Hankel transform in TM mode for a homogeneous half space, we can assess the accuracy of linear filters for evaluating the Hankel transform. As a result, only nine out of 36 source-receiver pairs show that EM fields decrease linearly in semi-log scale with an increase of source-receiver distance, while EM fields are either 0 or not reduced significantly due to an effect of the air layer. There also exist closed-form solutions for the nine pairs, and the others can be evaluated accurately with a relatively short filter. This paper proposes a method which uses closed-form solutions for TM-mode Hankel transforms and a filter with 61 coefficients for TE-mode ones.

Advanced microwave absorbers for wide oblique incidence angles are required in many applications including wireless communication or vehicle identification in ITS(Intelligent Transport System) where 5.8 GHz DSRC(Dedicated Short Range Communication) system is applied. In this study, two-layered microwave absorber(with a laminate structure of dielectric/magnetic composites) has been designed for the achievement of low reflection coefficient over wide incidence angles at 5.8 GHz. Iron flake particles are used as the filler in the absorbing layer, and the magnetic composite sheet exhibits high magnetic loss due to ferromagnetic resonance in gigahertz frequencies. The surface layer of low dielectric constant containing small amount of carbon black is used as the impedance transformer. On the basis of transmission line theory, the reflection loss has been calculated for the two-layer structure with variation of incident angles for both TE(Transverse Electric) and TM(Transverse Magnetic) polarizations. At the optimum thickness of the composite layers, a low value of reflection loss(less than -10 dB) has been predicted for wide incidence angles up to $55^{\circ}$ which is in good agreement with the measured value determined by free-space measurement.

In order to reduce the manufacturing cost of MCU chips used in applications such as wireless chargers and USB-C, compared to DP-EEPROM (Double Poly EEPROM), which requires 3 to 5 additional process masks, it is even more necessary MTP(Multi-Time Programmable), which is less than one additional mask and have smaller unit cell size. In addition, in order to improve endurance characteristics and data retention characteristics of the MTP memory cell due to E/P(Erase / Program) cycling, the distribution of the V_TP(Program Threshold Voltage) and the V_TE(Erase Threshold Voltage) needs to be narrow. In this paper, we proposed a current-type BL S/A(Bit-Line Sense Amplifier) circuit, WM(Write Mask) circuit, BLD(BL Driver) circuit and a algorithm, which can reduce the distribution of program and V_T and erase V_T, through compare the target current by performing the erase and program pulse of the short pulse several times, and if the current specification is satisfied, the program or erase operation is no longer performed. It was confirmed that the 256Kb MTP memory fabricated in the Magnachip semiconductor 0.13㎛ process operates well on the wafer in accordance with the operation mode.

The mapping of the spin-spin relaxation time T2 in pixel-by-pixel was suggested as a quantitative diagnostic tool in medicine. although the CPMG pulse sequence has been known to be the best pulse sequence for T2 measurement in physics NMR, the supplied pulse sequence by the manufacture of MRI system was able to obtain the maximum of 4 CPMG images. Eight or more images with different echo time TEs are required to construct a reliable T2 map, so that two or more acquisitions were required, which easily took more than 10 minutes. 4-echo CPMG imaging pulse sequence was modified to generate the maximum of 8 MR images with evenly spaced echo time TEs. In human MR imaging, since patients tend to move at least several pixels between the different acquisitions, 8-echo CPMG imaging sequence reduces the acquisition time and may remove any mis-regitration of each pixels signal for the fitting of T2. The resultant T2 maps using the theoretically simulated images and using the MR images of the human brain suggested that 8 echo CPMG sequence with short echo spacing such as 17-20 msec can give the reliable T2 map.

Although MR imaging is generally applicable to depict knee joint deterioration it, is sometimes occurred to mis-read and mis-diagnose the common knee joint diseases. In this study, we employed magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) method to improve the diagnosis of the various knee joint diseases. Spin-echo (SE) T2-weighted images (TR/TE 3,400-3,500/90-100 ms) were obtained in seven cases of knee joint deterioration, FSE T2-weighted images (TR/TE 4,500-5,000/100-108 ms) were obtained in seven cases of knee joint deterioration, gradient-echo (GRE) T2-weighted images (TR/TE 9/4.56/$50^{\circ}$ flip angle, NEX 1) were obtained in 3 cases of knee joint deterioration, In six cases of knee joint deterioration, fat suppression was performed using a T2-weighted short T1/tau inverse recovery (STIR) sequence (TR/TE =2,894-3,215 ms/70 ms, NEX 3, ETL 9). Calculation of MTR for individual pixels was performed on registration of unsaturated and saturated images. After processing to make MTR images, the images were displayed in gray color. For improving diagnosis, three-dimensional isotropic volume images, the MR tristimulus color mapping and the MTR map was employed. MTR images showed diagnostic images quality to assess the patients' pathologies. The intensity difference between MTR images and conventional MRI was seen on the color bar. The profile graph on MTR imaging effect showed a quantitative measure of the relative decrease in signal intensity due to the MT pulse. To diagnose the pathologies of the knee joint, the profile graph data was shown on the image as a small cross. The present study indicated that MTR images in the knee joint were feasible. Investigation of physical change on MTR imaging enables to provide us more insight in the physical and technical basis of MTR imaging. MTR images could be useful for rapid assessment of diseases that we examine unambiguous contrast in MT images of knee disorder patients.

심실의 내부는 유두근이나 trabecular와 같은 해부학적 구조물들로 인해 복잡한 형태를 띄고 있다. 그러한 복잡한 구조는 MR 영상을 이용한 심박출량 측정시 오차를 유발시킬 수 있으며, 만약 오차를 줄이기 위해 수작업을 하게 된다면 많은 수고와 시간이 필요하게 될 것이다. 본 연구에서는 threshold 기법을 이용하여 짧은 시간동안에 정확하게 복잡한 구조를 가진 심실의 심박출량을 측정하고자 하였다. 7 명의 환자에 대해 l.5T 급 MR 장치 (INTERA, Philips, Netherlands)를 이용하여 short-axis cardiac MR 영상을 획득하였다. 한 환자에 대해서 8개에서 10개의 슬라이스 영상을 8-10 mm의 두께로, 하나의 심장주기(cardiac cycle)동안 일정한 시간간격으로 25 개의 영상을 획득하였으며, 펄스시퀀스로는 ECG-gated segmented balanced fast field echo (TR/TE = 3ms/1.56ms)를 사용하였다. 획득된 영상은 PC(threshold 기법)와 workstation (기존의 수동 및 자동 segmentation 기법)로 DICOM 형태로 전송되었다. 측정은 IDL을 이용하여 자체 제작된 소프트웨어와 상용화된 소프트웨어 (MASS 5.0, MEDIS, Netherlands)를 이용하여 분석되었다. MR 영상에서 심내벽 부위를 추출하기 위하여 자체제작된 소프트웨어로는 threshold 기법을, 상용 소프트웨어로는 기존의 수동 및 자동 기법을 이용하였다. 심박출량은 최대수축기와 이완기 사이의 용적 차이로써 계산되었으며, 좌심실 및 우심실 모두에 대해 수행되었다. 또한, 해부학적 구조의 복잡도에 따른 측정방법의 정확도를 확인하기 위해 유두근 및 trabecular의 hypertrophy의 정도를 3 단계로 구분하고 측정된 값들을 통계적으로 분석하였다. Hypertrophy가 약한 그룹에서는 기존의 수동방식과 threshold 기법간의 의미있는 차이가 없었으며 (p=0.372), 기존의 수동 및 자동방식 간에도 큰 차이가 없었다 (p=0.298). 그러나, hypertrophy가 심한 그룹에서는 수동방식 및 자동방식 측정치 사이에 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보임을 알 수 있었다 (p=0.044). 그러나, threshold 기법과 수동방식 사이에는 유의한 차이가 없었다 (p=0.l94). 분석시간은 threshold 기법이 기존의 수동방식에 비해서 두배정도 빠르다는 것을 알 수 있었다, Threshold 기법은 심박출량 측정에 있어서 정확하면서도 빠른 결과의 도출이 가능했으며, 특히 심내벽의 구조가 복잡한 경우에 그 효과가 증대됨을 알 수 있었다.

This paper presents a short-term scheduling algorithm for the operation of steelmaking processes. The scope of the problem covers refining of the hot iron transferred form a blast furnace, ladle treatment, continuous casting, hot-rolling, and coiling for the final products that should satisfy the given demand. The processing time at each unit depends on how much the batch amount is treated, and te dedicated intermediate storage with finite capacity between the units is considered. Resource constraints and initial amount of each state are incorporated into the presented scheduling model for the algorithm of on-line scheduling. We propose amixed integer linear programming (MILP) model with two objectives for the scheduling. The first is to maximize the total profit while atisfying the due date constraint for each product. And the second is to minimize the total processing time, makespan, while satisfying the demand for each product. Especially, we observe the effect of penalizing the intermediate storage and the inventory level of the final product on the scheduling results.
