PURPOSES : This study aimed to evaluate the appropriateness of safety with the standard for threshold zone luminance as specified in the Recommendation for Lighting of Traffic Tunnel, which has been widely adopted worldwide. METHODS : A driving test of the subject in a full-scale road tunnel was conducted. The adaptation luminance and threshold zone luminance, which should be known for the driver to perceive an object within stopping sight distance, were obtained. These values were compared with the adaptation luminance and threshold zone luminance obtained by the existing reduced model test and tunnel lighting standard that has served as a guideline for the current threshold zone luminance standard. RESULTS : According to this study, threshold zone luminance should be increased to at least 1.8 times the value proposed in the existing studies and to twice the domestic tunnel lighting standard (KS C 3703: 2014). CONCLUSIONS : The threshold zone luminance proposed in this study differs largely from that obtained from indoor tests and from the current tunnel lighting standard used worldwide; this difference may be attributed to the fact that the indoor tests did not incorporate driving workload, non-uniformity of luminance distribution in terms of sight, and factors that reduce the visibility of the driver, such as the light reflected into the driver's eyes. Hence, it is necessary to further review the factors that reduce the visibility of drivers approaching tunnels in order to determine the rational tunnel threshold zone luminance.

본 연구에서는 대칭 및 비대칭 산화막 구조를 가진 이중게이트(double gate; DG) MOSFET의 문턱전압 변화에 대하여 분석하였다. 상하단 동일한 산화막 두께을 갖는 대칭 DGMOSFET와 달리 비대칭 DGMOSFET는 상하단 게이트 산화막 두께를 다르게 제작할 수 있다. 그러므로 비대칭 DGMOSFET에서 상단과 하단게이트 산화막 두께의 크기 변화에 따라 대칭 DGMOSFET와 문턱전압을 비교하여 상하단 게이트 산화막 두께의 최적값에 대하여 고찰하고자 한다. 문턱전압을 구하기 위하여 포아송방정식에서 해석학적 전위분포모델을 유도하였으며 도핑분포함수는 가우스분포함수를 사용하였다. 문턱전압 모델을 이용하여 하단게이트 전압, 채널길이 및 채널두께 등에 따라 상하단게이트 산화막 두께가 문턱전압에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 결과적으로 문턱전압은 상하단 게이트 산화막 두께에 따라 크게 변화하였으며 변화하는 경향은 하단게이트 전압, 채널길이 그리고 채널두께에 따라 매우 상이하게 나타나고 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Background: Females generally have a lower pain and temporal summation threshold than men. However, the results of studies designed to evaluate gender differences in the thresholds of heat pain and the temporal summation have been inconsistent. Newly developed device, CHEPS (Contact Heat Evoked Potential Stimulation) model of PATHWAY, have superiority on its fast rise and return time in temperature. Therefore we investigated gender differences in heat pain and temporal summation threshold. Methods: Forty healthy volunteers (20 males and 20 females) were enrolled in this study. A thermode was applied to the volar side of each volunteer's left forearm and heat pain and the temporal summation threshold was then measured. The heat pain threshold was estimated using the staircase method by starting from $36^{\circ}C$ and then increasing the temperature in $0.5^{\circ}C$ increments. The temporal summation threshold was estimated by applying five successive stimulation of the same temperature starting at $2^{\circ}C$ lower than the heat pain threshold and then increasing the temperature in $0.5^{\circ}C$ increments. Results: The mean heat pain thresholds was found to be $41.63{\pm}1.63^{\circ}C$ for males and $41.60{\pm}1.84^{\circ}C$ for females and the temporal summation thresholds were found to be $40.83{\pm}1.64^{\circ}C$ for males and $40.77{\pm}1.93^{\circ}C$ for females. The differences between males and females were not statistically significant. Conclusions: The result of this study suggested that there are no gender differences in heat pain and temporal summation threshold.

A data-based model, such as an AAKR model is widely used for monitoring the drifts of sensors in nuclear power plants. However, since a training dataset and a test dataset for a data-based model cannot be constructed with the data from all the possible states, the model uncertainty cannot be good enough to represent the uncertainty of estimations. In fact, the errors of estimation grow much bigger if the incoming data come from inexperienced states. To overcome this limitation of the model uncertainty, a new measure of uncertainty for a data-based model is developed and the predicted uncertainty is introduced. The predicted uncertainty is defined in every estimation according to the incoming data. In this paper, the AAKR model is used as a data-based model. The predicted uncertainty is similar in magnitude to the model uncertainty when the estimation is made for the incoming data from the experienced states but it goes bigger otherwise. The characteristics of the predicted model uncertainty are studied and the usefulness is demonstrated with the pressure signals measured in the flow-loop system. It is expected that the predicted uncertainty can quite reduce the false alarm by using the variable threshold instead of the fixed threshold.

충남부여에 위치한 임업화훼단지내의 유리온실에서 아치형재배(Arching method)장미에 피해를 주는 점박이응애(Tetranychus urticae Koch)의밀도를 엽당 응애수로 조사하였다. 이항표본 조사법은 엽당 점박이응애의 평균밀도(m)와 점박이응애가 T 개체보다 많이 존재하는 엽의 비율(${P}_{T}$)과의 관계를 기본으로 하며, T는 경험적 이항분포모형(ln(m)=$\alpha$+$\beta$1n(-1n(1-${P}_{T}$)))에서의 tally threshold 로서, 본 실험에서는 1, 3, 5, 7, 9를 사용하였다. 일반적으로 표본단위 수의증가는 T와 상관없이 이항분포 모형의 정확도에 영향을 거의 주지 않게 된다. 본 실험에서는 상이한 T에 따라 이항분포모형의 정확도가 차이가 났으며 T가 증가할수록 정확도가 높아졌다. 본 실험결과 점박이응애의 밀도추정을 위한 이항분포모형의 정확도를 비교한 결과, T=7인 경우가 최적의 tally threshold인 것으로 나타났다. 또한 이항분포조사법의 검정을 위하여, 동일한 포장의 독립적인 표본을 추출, 조사하였다. 본 실험결과 이항표본조사법을 이용한 상업적 유리온실의 아치형재배 장미해충인 점박이응애 평균밀도 추정에는 T=7인 경우가 가장 적절한 것으로 사료된다.

경남 진주시 대곡면에 위치한 파프리카(Capsicum annuum var. angulosum) 온실에 피해를 주는 해충인 담배가루이(Bemisia tabaci) 성충과 번데기의 밀도를 엽 당 해충 수로 2014년 조사하였다. 이항표본조사법은 엽 당 담배가루이 성충과 번데기의 밀도(m)와 담배가루이 성충과 번데기가 T마리보다 많이 존재하는 잎의 비율($P_T$)과의 관계를 기본으로 하며, T는 경험적 이항분포모형$(({\ln}(m)={\alpha}+{\beta}({\ln}(-{\ln}(1-P_T))))$에서의 tally threshold로서 본 연구에서는 성충의 경우 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 그리고 번데기는 1, 3, 5, 7을 사용하였다. 표본수 증감은 T와 관계없이 이항분포 모형의 정확도에 영향이 거의 없었다. 이항분포모형의 정확도는 성충의 경우 T=1 일 때, 번데기의 경우 T=3일 때 가장 높았으며, 최적의 tally threshold인 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 분석에 사용하지 않은 독립된 자료를 이용하여 개발된 표본조사법의 유효성을 Resampling Validation for Sampling Plan (RVSP) 프로그램으로 평가하였다. 그 결과 파프리카 온실에서 담배가루이 성충과 번데기의 밀도추정에는 T=1 (담배가루이 성충), T=3 (담배가루이 용)인 경우가 적합한 것으로 판단되었다.

제주지역의 온주밀감 과수원에서 귤응애(Panonychus citri (McGregor)) 밀도에 대해 잎당 응애수를 2년에 걸쳐 조사하였다. 이항표본조사법은 잎당 귤응애의 밀도와(m)와 귤응애가 T마리보다 많이 존재하는 잎의 비율($P_{T}$)과의 관례를 기본으로 하며, T는 경험적 이항분포모형 [$ln(m)-{\alpha}+{\beta}ln(-ln(1-P_{T}))$]에서의 tally threshold로서 본 연구에서는 1, 3, 5, 7을 사용하였다. 표본단위 수의 증가는 T와 관계없이 이항분포 모형의 정확도에 영향이 거의 없었던 반면에 T는 값이 증가함에 따라 표본수를 증가시켜도 정확도가 낮아졌다. 이항분포모형의 정확도는 T=1일 때 가장 높았으며, 최적의 tally threshold인 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 이항표본조사의 유효성을 조사하기 위하여 독립된 표본을 추출, 조사하였으며, 그 결과 온주밀감원에서 귤응애 밀도추정에는 T=1인 경우가 적합한 것으로 판단되었다. 또한, 귤응애 밀도를 분류하기 위한 이항표본조사과정을 개발하여 action threshold가 귤응애 밀도가 잎당 2마리일 때의 이항표본조사 프로그램을 작성하였다.

An analytic approach that provides explicit estimates of risk on cataract and epilation data is evaluated by reasonableness of conceivable relative risk models regarding a simple, odds, logistic or Gompertz regression method, assuming a binomial distribution. In these analyses, we apply relative risk models with two thresholds between epilators and nonepilators from a highly characteristic lesion of which radiation cataract does not occur around 2 gray for a single acute exposure. The risk models are fitted to the data assuming 10 as a constant relative biological effectiveness of neutron. The likelihood of observing the entire data set in these models fitted is evaluated by an individual binary-response array. Estimation of a threshold with or without severe epilation and the 100 ($1-\alpha$)% confidence limits are derived from the maximum likelihood approach. The relative risk model with two thresholds can be expressed as a formula with structure of Background $\times$ RR, where RR includes threshold models with or without epilation. The radiosensitivity of ionizing radiation to cataracts has been examined for the relationship between epilators and nonepilators.

In this paper, we propose an threshold-based Schur algorithm for estimating the media characteristics of sub-bottom multi-layers by using the signal generated by a parametric array transducer. We use the KZK model to generate a parametric array signal, and use the proposed threshold-based Schur algorithm for estimating the reflection coefficients of multiple sea bottom layers. Using computer simulation, we verify that the difference frequency component generated by the KZK model prevails over the signals of primary frequencies at long range. For the simulation, we use the transmit signal generated by the KZK and the reflected signal obtained from a lattice filter model for the seawater and sub-bottom of multi-level non-homogeneous layers. Through the simulation, we verify that the proposed threshold-based Schur algorithm can give much more accurate and efficient estimates of the reflection coefficients than methods using received signal, matched filter output signal, and normal Schur algorithm output.

A new two-dimensional analytical model for the potential distribution and drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL) effect of fully depleted short-channel Silicon-on-insulator (SOI)-MESFET's has been presented in this paper. The two dimensional potential distribution functions in the active layer of the device is approximated as a simple parabolic function and the two-dimensional Poisson's equation has been solved with suitable boundary conditions to obtain the bottom potential at the Si/oxide layer interface. It is observed that for the SOI-MESFET's, as the gate-length is decreased below a certain limit, the bottom potential is increased and thus the channel barrier between the drain and source is reduced. The similar effect may also be observed by increasing the drain-source voltage if the device is operated in the near threshold or sub-threshold region. This is an electrostatic effect known as the drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL) in the short-gate SOI-MESFET's. The model has been verified by comparing the results with that of the simulated one obtained by solving the 2-D Poisson's equation numerically by using the pde toolbox of the widely used software MATLAB.
