In this paper, we describe the results of various calculations performed for a design of the thickness gauges that use the gamma-ray backscattering method. The radiation source is assumed to be the $_{24}$1Am(60keV gamma-ray) and the detector is a single crystal scintillator in a cylindrical form. The source is located at the center of the detector with the collimator of a cylindrical shape. First, when gamma-rays are incident on a material with a constant angle, we compute the variations of the spectrum for the photons scattered into different angular intervals. Next, we compute for an optimal size for the collimator cylinder for a fixed detector size and an optimal distance from the detector to the material. Finally, we compute the number of observed photons for different thickness of two different materials, a plastic film and an Al foil.

The computation of the solid angle and the detector efficiency is considering to be one of the most important factors during the measuring process for the radioactivity, especially the cylindrical γ-ray NaI(Tl) detectors nowadays have applications in several fields such as industry, hazardous for health, the gamma-ray radiation detectors grow to be the main essential instruments in radiation protection sector. In the present work, a generic numerical simulation method (NSM) for calculating the efficiency of the γ-ray spectrometry setup is established. The formulas are suitable for any type of source-to-detector shape and can be valuable to determine the full-energy peak and the total efficiencies and P/T ratio of cylindrical γ-ray NaI(Tl) detector setup concerning the truncated conical radioactive source. This methodology is based on estimate the path length of γ-ray radiation inside the detector active medium, inside the source itself, and the self-attenuation correction factors, which typically use to correct the sample attenuation of the original geometry source. The calculations can be completed in general by using extra reasonable and complicate analytical and numerical techniques than the standard models; especially the effective solid angle, and the detector efficiency have to be calculated in case of the truncated conical radioactive source studied condition. Moreover, the (NSM) can be used for the straight calculations of the γ-ray detector efficiency after the computation of improvement that need in the case of γ-γ coincidence summing (CS). The (NSM) confirmation of the development created by the efficiency transfer method has been achieved by comparing the results of the measuring truncated conical radioactive source with certified nuclide activities with the γ-ray NaI(Tl) detector, and a good agreement was obtained after corrections of (CS). The methodology can be unlimited to find the theoretical efficiencies and modifications equivalent to any geometry by essential sufficiently the physical selective considered situation.

The electron beam machining provides very high resolution up to nanometer scale, hence the E-Beam writing technology is rapidly growing in MEMS and nano-engineering areas. For E-Beam machining, $2^{nd}$ electron detector is required to see a machined sample at the stage. The $2^{nd}$ electron detector is composed of scintillator and photomultiplier with signal amplifier and high voltage power supplier. Since a photomultiplier tube is an extremely high-sensitivity photodetector, the signal light level to be detected is very low and therefore particular care must be exercised in shielding external light. In this paper, the design methodology of $2^{nd}$ electron detector and the image noise removal method are introduced.

단일 핵종의 붕괴시 방출된 두 감마선이 함께 검출기에 흡수될 때 cascade summing이 일어난다. 이 효과는 일부 핵종에서 10% 이상의 계통적 오차를 야기한다. 이들 동시합성 효과를 추산하기 위해 검출기 주위에서 측정한 피크-토탈 비를 사용하여 그 효과를 직접 계산하였다. 검출기 주번에서 주어진 에너지에 대한 피크-토탈 비는 일정하지 않을 수 있으며, 따라서 측정된 값의 평균을 사용하여야 한다 산란 물체에 의한 피크-토달 비의 영향에 대한 결과도 함께 포함되어 있다.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore the effects of A-solution on halitosis and oral status in preoperative NPO patients. Methods: A nonequivalent control group, non-synchronized pretest-posttest design was used in this study. The participants in this study were 66 patients who were admitted for gynecologic surgery. The experimental treatment was to give oral gargling with A-solution, blended essential oils and diluted with distilled water. To identify the experimental treatment effects, halitosis, salivary pH, and oral status were measured by a portable halitosis detector, visual analogue scale, Bromo Thymol Blue (BTB), Bromo Cresol Purple (BCP) test paper and oral assessment guide. Data were analyzed using $X^2$-test, t-test with PASW 18.0 version. Results: Participants were homogeneous before experimental treatment. Objective halitosis in the experimental group, measured by a portable halitosis detector (t=-8.34, p<.001) was significantly lower than the control group. Subjective halitosis was significantly lower in the experimental group (t=-9.29, p<.001). Salivary pH was significantly different between two groups (t=8.81, p<.001). Oral status was significantly better in the experimental group (t=-13.31, p<.001). Conclusion: These findings indicate that oral gargling using A-solution is effective in reducing patient halitosis, and improving oral status.

본 논문에서는 DVB-T2 (digital video broadcasting for terrestrial - 2nd generation) 시스템을 위한 터보 등화기를 제안 하고 그 성능을 분석하였다. 터보 등화기는 MAP (maximum a posteriori) 검파기와 LDPC (low density parity check) 복호기로 구성 되었다. LS(least square) 채널 추정 기반 SISO (soft-input-soft-output) MAP 등화기는 LDPC 복호기에 외래 확률 값을 준다. 터보 등화기의 성능을 반복 횟수에 따라 컴퓨터 실험을 통하여 분석하였다.

금속 재료의 비선형 파라미터는 고유한 물성치로서 기본주파수의 음압의 크기($A_1$)과 2차고조파의 음압의 크기($A_2$)을 측정하면 산정할 수 있다. 하지만, 실험적으로 $A_1$과 $A_2$를 측정하는 것은 매우 복잡한 변환 과정이 필요하기 때문에 현재 많은 연구자들이 비선형 파라미터의 절대값을 측정하지 않고, 전압 변화를 관찰하는 비선형 파라미터의 상대값을 측정하고 있다. 하지만, 비선형 파라미터 상대값으로는 재료의 물성치를 대변할 수가 없기 때문에, 열화도에 따른 시편 측정에만 사용할 수 있는 제약이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 정전용량 측정기법(capacitive detector)보다는 비용이 적게 소모되고 현장 적용이 가능한 압전형 수신기법(piezoelectric detection)을 이용하여 비선형 파라미터의 절대값을 측정하기 위한 시스템을 구축하였다. $A_1^2vsA_2$ 그래프로 시스템의 선형성을 검증하고 시험편인 fused silica와 Al2024-T4에 대한 비선형 파라미터를 측정하였다.

A CFAR algorithm for weibull clutter is discussed. The Maximum a posteriori(MAP) estimator for two parameters(skewness and scale) of the weibull clutter is proposed, assuming the probability density function of skewness parameter is known. And proposed MAP estimator is compared with the Maximum likelihood(ML) estimator. Using this MAP estimator, we can design CFAR detector which is shown to have smaller CFAR loss than ML CFAR detector by the statistical simulation method.

델타 구동 GMSK는 바이폴라 델타 신호로 가우시안 펄스를 생성하고 $+T_b/2$와 $-T_b/2$ 사이의 차분 신호로 위상변조하는 방식이다. 이러한 방식에 대한 복조는 기존의 GMSK와는 다르게 설계해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 인접한 비트 간의 위상 변화를 검출하고 위상 영역을 경판정한 다음에 상태 전이로 이진 데이터를 복원하는 방식을 설계하였다. AWGN 채널에 대한 전산모의실험 결과, 이진 데이터의 런 랭스에 의한 비트 오율의 영향이 확인되었으며, 이론적인 코히어런트 복조의 BER과 비교해서 $BT_b$=0.3에 대하여 2[dB] 정도의 성능 저하가 있는 것으로 분석되었다.
