Purpose: Few researches have been peformed on the dose distribution of the moving organ for radiotherapy so far. In order to simulate the organ motion caused by respiratory function, multipurpose phantom and moving device was used and dosimetric measurements for dose distribution of the moving organs were conducted in this study. The purpose of our study was to evaluate how dose distributions are changed due to respiratory motion. Materials and Methods: A multipurpose phantom and a moving device were developed for the measurement of the dose distribution of the moving organ due to respiratory function. Acryl chosen design of the phantom was considered the most obvious choice for phantom material. For construction of the phantom, we used acryl and cork with density of $1.14g/cm^3,\;0.32g/cm^3$ respectively. Acryl and cork slab in the phantom were used to simulate the normal organ and lung respectively. The moving phantom system was composed of moving device, moving control system, and acryl and cork phantom. Gafchromic film and EDR2 film were used to measure dose ditrbutions. The moving device system may be driven by two directional step motors and able to perform 2 dimensional movements (x, z axis), but only 1 dimensional movement(z axis) was used for this study. Results: Larger penumbra was shown in the cork phantom than in the acryl phantom. The dose profile and isodose curve of Gafchromic EBT film were not uniform since the film has small optical density responding to the dose. As the organ motion was increased, the blurrings in penumbra, flatness, and symmetry were increased. Most of measurements of dose distrbutions, Gafchromic EBT film has poor flatness and symmetry than EDR2 film, but both penumbra distributions were more or less comparable. Conclusion: The Gafchromic EBT film is more useful as it does not need development and more radiation dose could be exposed than EDR2 film without losing film characteristics. But as response of the optical density of Gafchromic EBT film to dose is low, beam profiles have more fluctuation at Gafchromic EBT. If the multipurpose phantom and moving device are used for treatment Q.A, and its corrections are made, treatment quality should be improved for the moving organs.

This study was conducted to evaluate the accuracy of CyberKnife $Synchrony^{TM}$ respiratory tracking system which was applied to Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) for moving tumors in chest and abdomen with breathing motion. For accurate evaluation, gold fiducial marks were implanted into a moving phantom. The moving phantom was a cube imbedding an acryl ball as a target. The acryl ball was prescribed to 20 Gy at 70% of isodose curve in a virtual treatment and radiochromic films were inserted into the acryl ball for dose verification and tracking accuracy evaluation. The evaluation of position tracking consists of two parts: fiducial mark tracking in a stationary phantom and $Synchrony^{TM}$ respiratory tracking in a moving phantom. Each measurement was done in three directions and was repeated to 5 times. Range of position error was 0.1957 mm to 0.6520 mm in the stationary phantom and 0.4405 mm to 0.7665 mm in the moving phantom. Average position error was 0.3926 mm and 0.5673 mm in the stationary phantom and the moving phantom respectively. This study evaluates the accuracy of CyberKnife $Synchrony^{TM}$ Respiratory tracking system, and confirms the usefulness when it's used for Stereotactic Radiosurgery of body organs.

To make practical application of the MR image for stereotactic radiosurgery, the target point-achieved by acquisition of MR image in stereotactic radiosurgery planning system must agree with the actual isocenter of irradiation in real treatment. And the amount of distortion of the MR image must be known to make a correction for the agreement. A radish containing abundant water content was chosen as a homogeneous phantom for the purpose of verification of the agreement in this experiment. A dosimetric film was firmly attached to the small specially fabricated acryl plate and needle puncture was made through the film just into the acryl plate and a drop of oil was dropped into the hole of the film. The acryl plate with film was inserted into the radish and the dorp of oil represented the target point in MR image. After the image acquisition by stereotatic radiosurgery planning system, we achieved stereotactic coordinate of the target point represented by the oil drop. And we proceeded to actual irradiation to the target point according to the procedure of stereotactic radiosurgery. After the irradiation, the film in the radish was developed and processed and the degree of coincidence between the center of the radiation distribution and the target point represented by the hole in the film was measured. The discrepancy between two points was under 0.5 mm. so we could confirm good coincidence in homogeneous phantom such as radish. On the other hand, authors tried to use our home-made device for estimation of distortion of MR image.

In this study, a nonionic reactive emulsifier with aromatic and acryl group was synthesized by using polyoxyethylene(10) dodecylphenyl ether with 3-butenoic acid. The synthesized nonionic reactive emulsifier was confirmed by ¹H-NMR and FT-IR. In addition, the reactive emulsifier synthesized in the preparation of aqueous acrylic adhesives base emulsion was used and the properties of the solid content, conversion, particle size distribution, peel strength and high temperature holding force were compared to those of nonionic emulsifiers without aromatic group. The particle size was distributed from 370 nm to 698 nm, and the peel strength were measured in the range of 1.507~1.802 kg_f. The high temperature holding force of prepared adhesives base emulsion were measured in the range of 0.50~2.00 mm. Especially, in the result of synthesized nonionic reactive emulsifier with aromatic group, it was confirmed that high temperature holding force results were the most excellent than the case of using other nonionic reactive emulsifiers, and it can be useful for water-based acryl pressure sensitive adhesive.

Friction between stone and saw of stone cutting machine generates the noise of 96-104 dB in the frequency range of 2kHz-8kHz, which may cause occupational hearing loss. By designing enclosures which are made of transparent acryl, PVC panel and absorption materials, about 15 dB noise reduction has been achieved in the stone cutting factory. It is demonstrated that this kind of enclosures can be effectively used to reduce the noise in the stone cutting factory.

Polyaniline (PANi) composite particles were synthesized by chemical oxidation polymerization of aniline in presence of poly-n-isopropyl acryl amide (PNIPAM). The PANi particles formed in the reaction medium deposited onto non-conducting PNIPAM template to produce PANi-coated composite particles. The formation of composite was confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy, and UV-VIS spectroscopy, and their morphological structures were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). From the experimental results, it was determined that PANi was successfully coated onto non-conducting PNIPAM.

The objective of tissue characterization is to provide quantitative information about the physical state of tissue interrogated by an ultrasound beam. In the computer simulation, it was found that the echoes were composed of the interferences of the ultrasonic waves reflected from both sides of the thin object, and could be separated by the spectral correlation method. Also, the phantom study demonstrates that thickness of the thin acryl layer beyond the resolution of common ultrasonic imaging systems can be measured- using this method.
