Purpose: Radiotherapy after bladder filling protocol (BFP) is known to enhance treatment quality and reduce side effects in prostate cancer, a common male solid cancer globally. However, due to the need to hold back urine during treatment, patients frequently complain of discomfort, and treatment is frequently suspended when patients urinate during treatment and urine penetrates the treatment device, causing malfunction. Therefore, the effect of minimizing treatment time when partial-arc volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) was used instead of full-arc was assessed in this study. Methods: A total of 70 plans were created in 10 patients using 7 different arc sizes, and the treatment time for each plan was calculated. Results: Reduced arc size by half resulted in a 54.4% decrease in mean treatment duration, with a proportional tendency observed. Furthermore, the effect of VMAT arc size reduction on target dose homogeneity was significantly limited, and the effect on surrounding organs at risk (OAR) was negligible. It should be noted, however, that when the arc size decreases by >40%, the dose increases in the area without OAR around the target. Conclusions: The results of this study demonstrated that partial-arc VMAT for enhancing treatment convenience and efficacy of prostate cancer patients undergoing BFP can achieve a considerable reduction in treatment time while preserving treatment quality, and it is expected to be useful for partial-arc VMAT plan design and implementation in practice.

다차원 공간 객체를 위한 영역 질의는 다차원 공간상에서 질의 영역과 교차 또는 포함되는 객체들을 검색하는 가장 기본적인 공간 연산이다. 영역 질의 처리를 위한 인덱스 기법으로서 공간 순서화 곡선을 이용하여 다차원 공간 객체의 MBR 정보를 1차원 값으로 변환하여 저장하는 DOT(DOuble Transformation) 인덱스 기법이 알려져 있다. 이 기법은 데이터베이스 시스템의 주색인 기법을 그대로 적용할 수 있는 장점을 갖으나, 중간 공간에 설정된 다차원 질의 영역을 최종 공간상의 1차원 값의 집합으로 변환하는 공간 변환 연산에 대한 오버헤드가 매우 크다는 문제점이 있으며, 원 공간을 2차원 이상으로 확장하여 적용할 수 있는 구체적인 영역 질의 방법이 연구된 바 없다. 본 논문에서는 다차원 공간 질의 영역 상의 공간 순서화 곡선의 규칙성을 분석함으로써 공간 변환 연산의 횟수를 대폭 감소시킨 효율적인 다차원 공간 영역 질의 처리 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법에서는 공간 변환 연산의 비용을 감소시키기 위하여 질의 영역을 공간 순서화 곡선이 연속 운행되는 최대 크기의 쿼터로 분할하는 쿼터 분할 기법을 사용한다. 제안된 기법에 의한 다차원 영역 질의 처리 과정을 시각적으로 확인할 수 있는 시뮬레이터를 구현하였으며, 이를 이용한 성능평가 결과를 보였다.

In this paper, the rock bolts, soil nails with filling grout and the micro-piling with injecting grout by pressure were applied for the stabilization of the cut slopes consisting of sedimentary rocks, igneous rocks and metamorphic rocks respectively. The field measurements and 3-D FEM analyses to find out mobilized tensile stresses of the grouted-reinforcing members installed in the drilled holes were executed on each site. With assuming the increments of the cohesive strength in the improved ground, the back analysis using direct calibration approach of changing the elastic modulus of the ground was used to find out the improved elastic modulus which yields the same tensile stresses from field measurements. The results of back analysis show that the elastic modulus of the improved ground were 4 to 6 times as large as the elastic modulus of original ground. Consequently, the design for slope reinforcement to be more rational, it is proposed that not only the improved cohesive strength is to be used in the incremental ranges on well-known previous proposed data, but also the increased elastic modulus which is about 5 times as large as the original elastic modulus is to be considered in design.

Low liquid limit silt, widely distributed in the middle and down reaches of Yellow River, has the disadvantages of poor grading, less clay content and poor colloidal activity. It is very easy to cause vehicle jumping at the bridge-embankment transition section when the low liquid limit silt used as the backfill at the abutment back. In this paper, a series of laboratory tests were carried out to study the physical and mechanical properties of the low liquid limit silt used as back filling. Ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) was excited by active MgO and hydrated lime to solidify silt as abutment backfill. The optimum ratio of firming agent and the compaction and mechanical properties of reinforced soil were revealed through compaction test and unconfined compressive strength (UCS) test. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) test was used to study the pore characteristics and hydration products of reinforced soil. 6% hydrated lime and alkali activated slag were used to solidify silt and fill the model of subgrade respectively. The pavement settlement regulation and soil internal stress-strain regulation of subgrade with different materials under uniformly distributed load were studied by model experiment. The effect of alkali activated slag curing agent on curing silt was verified. The research results can provide technical support for highway construction in silt area of the Yellow River alluvial plain.

지리정보시스템에서 빈번히 사용되는 공간 조인 연산자의 성능을 보장하기 위해서는 효율적인 색인 기법의 선택이 중요하며, 대표적인 색인 기법으로는 $R^*$-tree를 이용한 방법이 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 DOT(Double Transformation) 공간 색인을 이용한 효율적인 공간 조인 처리 기법을 제시하고 이를 $R^*$-tree를 이용한 공간 조인 처리 기법과 비교한다. DOT 공간 색인 기법은 공간 객체의 MBR 정보를 공간 순서화 곡선을 사용하여 하나의 1차원 값으로 변환한 후 그 값을 검색 키로 갖는 $B^+$-tree 색인 구조를 구성하는 방법으로서, 이를 이용하면 전통적인 데이타베이스의 주 색인을 적용할 수 있다는 중요한 특징을 가진다. 본 논문에서는 공간 객체의 MBR 정보를 하나의 1차원 값으로 변환하기 위해 사용되는 공간 순서화 곡선의 규칙성을 분석함으로써 공간 변환 연산의 횟수를 대폭 감소시킨 효율적인 DOT 색인기반의 공간 조인 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘에서는 반복적으로 수행되는 공간 변환 연산의 횟수를 줄이기 위하여 질의 영역을 공간 순서화 곡선이 연속 운행하는 가능한 최대 크기의 면적으로 분할하는 쿼터 분할 기법을 사용한다. 다양한 분포와 크기를 갖는 데이타 집합을 대상으로 $R^*$-tree를 이용한 공간 조인 처리 기법과의 비교 실험을 수행한 결과 최대 약 3배의 성능 이익을 얻을 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

In recent years, intense cold spells caused by climate change have encouraged an increasing number of people to wear a variety of padded jackets. In this context, this paper aims to address the production of padded jackets in casual brands and to develop basic patterns for well-fitted padded jackets targeted toward women in their 20s. The study centered on the production of padded jackets from 13 apparel companies. In addition, three sample jackets were created with 3oz. fill in the body and 2oz. fill in the sleeves, and they were subjected to a wearing test to determine their movement functionality. The research findings were as follows. Woven jackets constituted 53.4% of the winter jackets produced by casual brands; padded jackets accounted for 25.3%, leather jackets 12.6%, and other jackets 8.7%. Thus, data showed that padded jackets accounted for a considerable proportion of overall winter jacket production. Based on the wearing test results, the basic measurements of a padded jacket for women in their 20s were as follows: bust girth of B/4+3cm front length and B/4+3.5cm back length; waist girth of W/4+3.1 cm front length and W/4+1.9cm back length; and hip girth of H/4+3.3cm front length and H/4+2.8cm back length. The jacket length was set at 62.8cm, with a 63.8cm sleeve length. This study concluded that providing padded jacket manufacturers with basic pattern designs for a well-fitted jacket is expected to boost the efficiency of pattern design processes and the production of padded jackets.

20 million tons of coal ash has been produced in Korea annually. This causes the environmental problems and the cost of land for ash pond. However the amount of coal ash for recycling is small because of the low level of recycling technology and the ignorance. As the coal ash has the significant engineering properties, it can be utilized as soft ground stabilizer, backfill materials and so forth. The purpose of this paper is to summarize some of the recycling methods of coal ash. One is structural backfill materials, the other is flowable fill. Optimal mixture ratio(fly ash : bottom ash) is determined for structural backfill materials and the model test is performed. The model test accompanied with physical tests were executed for identifying that the flowable fly ash can be used as fill materials such as trench back filling.

In combined forward-backward extrusion with controlled forward speed by a counter punch, accurate parts with forward rod can be formed. As an extension of this method, reverse extrusion is proposed, in which the extruded forward rod is pushed back while the main punch is kept at the final position after the forward-backward extrusion process. The experiment is carried out using lead as a model material. With the reverse extrusion method, longer forward rods can be formed without under-filling defect than that by combined extrusion with controlling extrusion speed.

Local deformations in back filling materials of two sands and one glass bead with different particle shapes behind a rigid retaining wall were studied. Two kinds of boundary conditions were compared: active wall translation and active rotation of the wall about its toe. Effect of the speed of active wall translation was also investigated. The digital image correlation method was used to analyze local deformation developments inside the materials. Test results showed that particle shape and density mainly influence the inclination angle and width of the shear band. The general shear band pattern is strongly dependent on the wall movement mode, while it was little influenced by particle shape. Within a limited range of wall speed in this study, shear band became wider and local deformation became larger with increase of wall speed.

In this study, I have researched into the causes of defects in apartment house, The results of this study are listed below. (1) Water leakages which result from land sinking and cracks, results of misuse of back filling method, are the main reason of defects in civil engineering work and architectural work. (2) Inexperience and unwillingness are the main reason of defects in plaster work. (3) In windows work and painting work, the main reasons are lacks of precision construction and efflorescence resulting from outdoor air, respectively. (4) Defects in waterproofing work and electric work result from fault construction by low unit Costs. (5) Equipment work requires uses of standardized construction materials and management, and landscape architecture work requires minimizing human mistakes, for instance, degin carelessness. For the reasons stated above, the causes of defects in apartment house are insufficient construction labors, inferior construction materials, urgent construction process time, and conscientiousless industrialists who only seek after a profit margin.
