Purpose: The aim of this in vitro study was to assess the role of bandwidth on the area of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) artifacts caused by orthodontic appliances composed of different alloys, using different pulse sequences in 1.5 T and 3.0 T magnetic fields. Materials and Methods: Different phantoms containing orthodontic brackets (ceramic, ceramic bracket with a stainless-steel slot, and stainless steel) were immersed in agar gel and imaged in 1.5 T and 3.0 T MRI scanners. Pairs of gradient-echo (GE), spin-echo (SE), and ultrashort echo time (UTE) pulse sequences were used differing in bandwidth only. The area of artifacts from orthodontic devices was automatically estimated from pixel value thresholds within a region of interest (ROI). Mean values for similar pulse sequences differing in bandwidth were compared at 1.5 T and 3.0 T using analysis of variance. Results: The comparison of groups revealed a significant inverse association between bandwidth values and artifact areas of the stainless-steel bracket and the self-ligating ceramic bracket with a stainless-steel slot(P<0.05). The areas of artifacts from the ceramic bracket were the smallest, but were not reduced significantly in pulse sequences with higher bandwidth values(P<0.05). Significant differences were also observed between 1.5 T and 3.0 T MRI using SE and UTE, but not using GE 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional pulse sequences. Conclusion: Higher receiver bandwidth might be indicated to prevent artifacts from orthodontic appliances in 1.5 T and 3.0 T MRI using SE and UTE pulse sequences.

본 연구에서는 가돌리늄 조영제를 다양한 몰농도로 희석하여 T1 효과를 나타내는 펄스 시퀀스 중 고속스핀에코와 에코타임이 극도로 짧은 ultra short time echo에서 최대 신호 강도 분포를 나타내는 조영제 희석 몰농도를 3.0T에서 각각 알아보고자 하였다. T1 조영제인 gadoxetic acid 와 완충용액으로는 증류수, 2% agarose gel을 이용하여 다양한 몰농도로 조영제 팬텀을 제작하였다. 팬텀 제작의 정확성을 측정하기 위해 T1 이완시간 측정의 표준방식인 2D inversion recovery spine-echo 펄스시퀀스를 이용하였으며 팬텀의 중간 부의 한 개의 관상면 영상을 획득하여 T1 이완 시간을 계산하였다. 스핀에코에서는 1-2 mmol/L 조영제 몰농도에서 가장 높은 신호를 나타냈으며, ultra short time echo에서는 7 mmol/L에서 가장 큰 신호를 나타냈다. ultra short time echo 펄스 시퀀스를 이용한 조영증강 효과를 보기 위해서는 고속스핀에코 기법 보다 2-3배의 조영제 농도가 목적 장기에 유지하여야 하며 이와 관련된 조영제량 및 투여 방법의 연구가 이루어져야 한다.

G.UTE ADSL 모뎀에 적합한 주파수 영역 프로세서의 구조를 제안하였다. 주파수 영역의 연산과정에 대한 알고리듬 수준의 최적화를 수행하였고, 하드웨어 자원할당에 따른 설계의 효율성도 분석하였다. 제안된 프로세서는 한 개의 실수 곱셈기와 두 개의 실수 덧셈기를 병렬로 연결한 구조를 가지며, 기존의 연구결과에 비해 작은 하드웨어 크기를 차지한다. 설계된 시스템은 삼성 0.35㎛ 표준셀 라이브러리를 사용하여 합성하였으며, G.LITE ADSL 모뎀에 적합하게 적은 하드웨어 자원으로 필요한 연산을 효율적으로 수행한다.

유비쿼터스 환경을 기반으로 하여 돌발상황 발생 시 신뢰성 있는 통행시간 예측을 위해 새로운 개념의 노드-링크 설정 기법을 활용한 대표통행시간 산출기법을 연구하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 방법론은 교통류의 특성에 따라 링크를 구분하여 개별적인 통행시간을 산출하는 기법이며, 개별차량의 특성을 반영하기 위해 일정 속도단위로 차량분류군을 구분하여 통행시간을 산출하는 방법을 제시하였다. 사고영향권과 사고영향권 상류부, 사고영향권 하류부를 독립적인 링크로 설정 하였으며, 돌발상황 발생 시 나타나는 차로별 통행시간의 특성을 반영하기 위해 통행시간 제공 방법을 차로별로 독립적인 통행시간 제공으로 설정하고, 차로별 통행시간을 산출하였다. 제안된 방법론의 정확도를 MAPE (Mean Absolute Percentage Error)를 이용하여 평가하였고, 프로브차량비율(Percentage of Probe Vehicles: PPV)에 따른 정확도의 변화를 분석하였다. 분석 결과 PPV가 20%이상 확보될 경우 오차율 10% 미만의 정확도를 가지는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구는 도래하는 유비쿼터스 교통환경에서 보다 신뢰성 있고, 실시간성 있는 교통정보 생성에 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.

We have successfully manufactured high-quality top-contact organic thin-film transistors using inkjet technologies with sub-femtoliter droplet volume. Silver fine lines were directly patterned by inkjet on pentacene channel layers. The minimum width of silver lines was $1{\mu}m$ with without the need for pre-patterning or surface pretreatments. The mobility was $0.3\;cm^2/Vs$.

Irradiation can be utilized to inhibit sprouting of onions and garlic. Thermoluminescence(TL) is a potential method to detect post-irradiation of onions and garlic because they are irradiated with soil or dusts on them, from which minerals can be isolated for TL analysis. This study was to determine whether TL can be applied for the detection of post-irradiation of onions and garlic. Onions and garlic produced in Korea were irradiated in the range of 0.01~0.6kGy. Minerals isolated from the samples using sodium polytrungstate solution were used for TL analysis. The onions and garlic irradiated at 0.15kGy or higher could be detected with little errors. Minimum dose for the 2nd glow could be applied since the dose for the 2nd glow did not affect the results. The TL intensities of the temperature ranges of 229~295$^{\circ}C$ and 229~361$^{\circ}C$ and the maximum intensity provided more accurate information for the determination of the post-irradiation of onions and garlic.

The estimation of moment and rotation in steel rack connections could be significantly helpful parameters for designers and constructors in the initial designing and construction phases. Accordingly, Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) has been optimized to estimate the moment and rotation in steel rack connection based on variable input characteristics as beam depth, column thickness, connector depth, moment and loading. The prediction and estimating of ELM has been juxtaposed with genetic programming (GP) and artificial neural networks (ANNs) methods. Test outcomes have indicated a surpass in accuracy predicting and the capability of generalization in ELM approach than GP or ANN. Therefore, the application of ELM has been basically promised as an alternative way to estimate the moment and rotation of steel rack connection. Further particulars are presented in details in results and discussion.

Steel pallet racking industry has globally used from the industrial revolution and has deeply evolved from hot-rolled profile into cold-formed profile to raise the optimization in engineering field. Nowadays, some studies regarding cold-formed steel profile have been performed, but fewer studies in terms of cold-formed pallet racking specifically in connection due to the semi-rigid behavior by lug-hooked into the upright have been conducted. The objective of this study is to review the related literature on steel storage racking connection behavior.

Objectives : This study analyzed the trends of patient costs in 7diagnosis-related groups(DRG) since July 2013 when the government made it mandatory for all hospitals and clinics. Methods : Data were collected from the 7DRG score chart published by the Ministry of Health and Welfare(MoHW) from July 2013 to January 2017. The average value of the weekday relative value scale was multiplied by unit price, referred to as'- "patient costs by disease group"-' and they were analyzed by time series. Results : Patient costs had increased among all patients with a comprehensive disease. Small and medium-sized hospitals (hospitals and clinics) showed a slight increase in patient costs. Conclusions : Enforcement of the Korean diagnosis-related groups has led to management crisis in small and medium-sized hospitals and deterioration medical service quality. To solve this problem, The weekday relative value scale of small and medium-sized hospitals should be increased significantly.
