삼차원 프린터(3DP)를 이용하여 환자맞춤형 전자선 치료용 볼루스(patient specific customized bolus, PSCB)를 제작하는 절차를 고안하고 제안된 방법으로 제작한 PSCB의 선량 정확도를 평가했다. 치료계획장치에서 치료계획표적용적(PTV)에 적합한 전자선 빔과 조사면 크기를 선택하고 초기 선량계산을 수행했다. 계산된 선량분포를 기반으로 PSCB를 그리고 재계산을 수행했다. 수 차례 반복을 통해 최상의 PSCB를 설계하고 설계된 윤곽자료를 DICOMRT 프로토콜을 이용해 자체 제작한 변환프로그램으로 전송했다. PSCB의 윤곽자료는 자체 변환프로그램을 이용해 3DP에서 인식 가능한 파일(STL 포맷)로 변환한 후 3DP를 이용해 제작했다. PSCB의 유용성을 검증하기 위해 2명의 가상 환자(오목, 볼록 유형)를 생성했고 각각의 환자에 가상의 PTV와 정상장기(OAR)을 생성했다. 3D-PSCB 를 사용했을 때와 사용하지 않았을 때의 선량체적히스토그램(DVH)와 선량 특성을 비교했다. 3D-PSCB 제작의 정확도를 분석하기 위해 필름 선량측정을 통해 선량 정확도를 평가했다. 치료계획 결과와 필름을 이용한 선량분포를 중첩한 후 빔 중심축에서의 심부선량곡선을 구했고 감마분석(3% 선량 오차와 3 mm 거리오차)을 수행 했다. 2명의 가상환자 모두에서 PSCB를 사용한 경우 PTV 선량은 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. PSCB를 사용할 경우 PSCB를 사용하지 않는 경우에 비해 OAR의 최대 선량, 최소선량, 평균선량은 각각 평균 9.7%, 36.6%, 28.3% 감소했다. 처방선량의 90% 선량($V_{90%}$)을 받는 OAR의 용적은 PSCB를 적용할 경우 약 99% 낮아졌다(14.40 vs $0.1cm^3$). 또한 처방선량의 80% 선량을 받는 OAR 체적도 PSCB를 사용할 경우 약 91% 줄었다(42.6 vs $3.7cm^3$). 감마분석 결과(3%, 3 mm) 오목 및 볼록 볼루스를 적용한 경우 각각 95%, 98% 통과율(pass rate)을 보였다. 3DP를 이용해 PSCB를 제작하는 절차를 정립하고 선량적 정확도를 평가해서 임상적용이 가능한 만족할 만한 결과를 얻었다. 3DP 기술의 빠른 발전에 힘입어 PSCB의 임상적용이 좀 더 쉬워지고 적용대상이 확장될 것으로 생각된다.

수술중 방사선치료법 (Intraoperative Radiation Therapy)은 외과적으로 개복된 상태에서 종양이나 장기를 절제한후 비가시적 또한 육안적 암세포를 전자선등으로 직접 조사 치료하는 방법으로서 일시에 다량의 방사선량을종양부위에 집중적으로 조사할 수 있으며 정상장기나 조직을 방사선 조사 범위로부터 차단함으로 방사선 손상을 격감 시킬 수 있는 장점을 갖고 있다. 본 연세암쎈터 치료방사선과에서는 1986년 2월부터 현재까지 십여명의 위암환자를 대상으로 수술중 방사선치료를 시 행하여 좋은 결과를 얻었으나 치료절차상 많은 어려운점 이 야기되어왔다. 그중에서도 방사선치료실(LINAC room)내에서 수술을 시행함에 따른 수술기구, 응급처치 장치, 조명 및 감시장치 등이 완벽하게 준비되여져 야 하며 치료실내를 $2\sim3$일 동안 자외선과 소독약으로 완전히 제독 하여야 함으로 그기간동안 많은 방사선치료 환자들이 한명의 IORT환자를 위하여 치료를 중단하여 야 하는 어려움이 있었다. 본 연세 암쎈터에서는 콜리메터 접속기구(collimator holder)와 투명 조사통(Acrylic cone)으로 구성된 조립형 조사기구(Docking Applicator)를 고안 제작하여 수술과 방사선 치료를 각각 해당 장소에서 시 행할 수 있었다. 즉 tORT 환자의 개복수술은 수술실에서 시 행하되 다만 가볍고 투명하며 외부 공기와 차단된 투명 조사기구(Acrylic cone)를 종양 부위에 조준고정 시켜 봉합하고 방사선 치료실로 이송된후 선형가속기의 방사구에 장착된 콜리메터 접속기와 접합시킴으로서 많은 문제점을 해결할 수 있었다. 조립조사 기구는 치료부위를 잘 관찰할 수 있고 쉽게 결합할 수 있도록 가벼운 아크릴과 Mylafilm으로 구성 제작하였으며 콜리메터 접속기는 종양 부위에 균일한 선량분포와 누출선량을 줄이기 위하여 스텐레스 강철로 구성제작하였다. 직경이 8cm이고 길이가 30cm인 접합형 조사기구를 사용하여 12MeV 전자선을 조사하였을때 $90\%$의 등선량곡선이 5 mm 정도 확장 되었으며 조사통 가장자리의 선량이 약 $6\%$ 증가하였다. 조사 통밖 의 누출 선량은 위치에 따라 출력선량의 $3\sim5\%$가 측정되었고 심부 백분율은 기준조사통에 의한 것과 유사하였다. 조사통의 모양과 크기는 종양범위에 알맞도록 원형, 사각형 또는 오각형 등으로 제작하였으며 $1\sim2$ cm의 금속띠를 이용 조절하므로서 최적한 선량분포를 얻을수 있었고 콜리메터의 차폐 금속편을 이용하여 조사통밖의 누출선량을 최대한으로 줄일 수 있었다.

Coastal dunes have many environmental and ecological socio-economic importances; various human activities, however, have impaired their structures and functions over the years. In 2016, environmental survey on coastal sand dune was carried out to report the present status and update the coastal sand dune list in 2001. This research analyzed the survey data in terms of geomorphological and socio-economic aspects. A list of the 189 coastal sand dune and information was updated by province. A 36.5% reduction in coastal sand dune area have been identified for using agricultural land, development area since the approximately 1940-50s. Development area in coastal sand dune covered small area as 5%, the use intensity was relatively hard. Furthermore, the difference by province also showed. Approximately 80% of the development area was concentrated in 20% of total sand dune several sand dune. It is generally accepted that coastal sand dunes were exposed high development pressure. However the result means that the general brief dose not apply for all sand dune. Therefore, characteristics of each sand dune should be analyzed and concerned the diverse management plans.

Today a conventional water treatment system has many problems. The ozone/GAC process, sometimes termed Biological Activated Carbon(BAC), appeared to be effective for the removal of soluble organic matters in the drinking water. The water quality of Nak-dong river in Pusan, generally shows BDOC 30-40% and NBDOC 60-70%. The pilot plant installed at the Duk-san water works that was been largest treatability(1,650,000ton/day) in Pusan. A experimental water in the pilot plant made use of the water after sand-filteration. Following results are drawn from this study. Initial adsorption velocity($DOC/DOC_o/T$) in the pure adsorption of GAG had a 0.0225, it's velocity changed to 0.006 after ozone added and the optimum ozone dose ranged of $1.4-2.0mgO_3/L$. A experimental water in the pilot plant composed with humic material(78%). Humic material composed with humic acid(20%) and fulvic acid(56%), and it's rate changed to 18 and 50% respectively after ozone added.

The aims of this study are 1) to construct a database using geostatistics and Geographic Information System (GIS), and 2) to derive the spatial relationships between manganese nodule abundance and other geological factors such as metal grade, slope, water depth, topography, and acoustic characteristics of the sub-bottom. Using GIS, it is possible to analyze a large amount of data efficiently, and to maximize the practical application, to increase specialization, and to enhance the accuracy of the analyses. The greater the copper and nickel grade, the higher the rating. The distribution pattern of nickel grade is similar to that of copper grade. The slopes are generally less than $3^{\circ}$ except for seamounts and cliff areas. The rating shows no correlation with slope. The rating is highest for slopes between 2.5 and $3.5^{\circ}$ in block N1 and between 4.0 and $4.5^{\circ}$ in block N3. The topography is classified into five groups: seamount, hill crest, hill slant, hill base or plain, and seafloor basin or valley. The rating proves lowest for seamount and hill crest. Our results show that the rating increases with the water depth in the study area. Nodule abundance dose not show any significant relationship with the thickness of the upper transparent layer in the study area.

Microemulsion is stable to aggregation, sedimentation, fusion and has $3nm{\sim}200nm$ of particle size which is transparent and semitransparent. The isoflavone as a derivatives of Flavone is colorless crystalline compounds. It has similar basic structure to steroid materials which is hormone that acts to skin physiological phenomenon. On this study, we tried to search and demonstrate system content rate of dermal translocation system for cosmetics using O/W type microemulsion containing isoflavone. We manufactured O/W microemulsions by phase inversion emulsification method. It's was found that POE(20) monostearate with HLB value 14 caused microemulsion to be formed, which had $4nm{\sim}18nm$ of average diameter and $3nm{\sim}33nm$ of particle size distribution. Apparent viscosities of the microemulsions have increased in proportion to add surfactant dose.

In an effort to prevent the formation of DBPs from disinfection and the microbial regrowth in distribution systems, the ozonation followed by biological filtration process in drinking water treatment train has been recently developed as an alternative process to reduce effectively water-born organic matter as precursor. There are, however, insufficient for the consistent information and data about the relation between ozone dosage based on organic surrogate parameter, TOC or DOC and effect of ozonation on BDOC formation. This study is to review critically for the effect of ozonation on biodegradability on the basis of published technical papers including the output from author's research laboratory. It truned out that : 1. ozonation in the presence of organic matter has a tendancy to increase in BDOC content, 2. the rate of BDOC formation was maximum below 1mg $O_3/mg$ DOC of ozone dose, but about maximum content of BDOC was obtainable at the range from 1.5mg $O_3/mg$ DOC to 2mg $O_3/mg$ DOC, 3. from above 1mg $O_3/mg$ DOC, the rate of BDOC formation became slow down, 4. from above 2mg $O_3/mg$ DOC, BDOC formation was quantitatively negligible, In conclusion, it needs further systematic study and research concerned to biodegradability and treatability by ozonation in terms of organic characteristics and experimental conditions because it was hard to find out the consistent experimental data comparable each other that were performed by numbers of research authors.

The quality of human life is directly related to the quality of the environment. To assess environmental quality we must first determine the MCLG(Maximum Contaminant Level Goal), MCL(Maximum Contaminant Level), environmental impact and so on. The MCLG is the concentration at which no known adverse health effects occur. The MCLG is determined by risk assessment identifying which process is hazardous assessing, dose-response, human exposure, and characteristics of risk. With consideration of analytical methods, treatment technology, cost and regulatory impact, the MCL is set as close to the MCLG as possible. In this way, determination of the concentration and national distribution of contaminants is important for assessment of environmental quality The analytical sciences pose potential problems in assessing environmental quality. Continuing improvement in the performance of analytical instruments and operating technique has been lowering the limits of detectability. Contaminant concentration below the detection limit has usually been reported as ND(Not-Detected) and this has often been misunderstood as equivalent to zero. Because of this, more the contaminant concentration in the past was below the detection limit, whereas contaminants can be quantified now even though the contaminant concentration might remain the same or may even have decreased. In addition, environmental sampling has various components due to heterogeneous matrices. These samples are used to overestimate the concentration of the contaminant due to large variability, resulting in excess readings for MCL. In this paper, the significance of the analytical sciences is emphasized in both a conceptual and a technical approach to environmental assessment.

In the decommissioning of nuclear facilities, Derived Concentration Guideline Level (DCGL) derivation is necessary for the release of the facility after the site remediation, which also needs to be implemented in the stage of establishing a decommissioning planning. In order to derive DCGL, the dose assessment for the receptors can be conducted from residual radioactivity by using RESRAD code. When performing sensitivity analysis on probabilistic parameters, secondary evaluation is performed by assigning a single value for parameters classified as sensitive. However, several options may arise in the handling of nonsensitive parameters. Therefore, we compared the results of the first execution of RESRAD applying probabilistic parameters for each scenario with the results of the second execution applying a single value to sensitive parameters among the probabilistic parameters. In addition, we analyzed the effect of setting options for non-sensitive parameters. As a result, the effect on DCGL were different depending on the application scenario, the target radionuclides, and the input parameter selections. In terms of the overall evaluation period, the DCGL graph of the default option was generally shown as the most conservative except for some radionuclides. However, it will not necessarily be given priority in the aspect of the need to reflect site characteristics. The reason for selecting a probabilistic parameter is the availability of the parameter and the uncertainty of applying a single value. Therefore, as an alternative, it can be consistently applied to distribution as an option for non-sensitive parameters after sensitivity analysis.
