We develop a radio receiver system operating at ${\lambda}{\sim}1.3$ mm for the 6 m telescope of Seoul Radio Astronomy Observatory. It consists of a dual polarization receiver, a couple of IF processing units, two FFT spectrometers, and associated software. By adopting sideband-separating superconductor mixers with image band terminated to waveguide load at 4.2 K, we achieve $T_{RX}{\leq}100$ K and $T_{sys}$ less than 150 K at best weather condition over 210-250 GHz frequency range. The intermediate frequency signal of 3.5-4.5 GHz is down converted to 0-1 GHz and fed into the FFT spectrometers. The spectrometer covers 1 GHz bandwidth with a spectral resolution of 61 KHz. Test observations are conducted toward several radio sources to evaluate the performance of the system. Aperture and beam efficiencies measured by observing planets are found to be typically 44 ~ 59% and 47 ~ 61%, respectively over the RF band, which are consistent with those measured at 3 mm band previously.

In this paper, we defined the relative cross-sectional area of forearm cortical bone and investigated its correlation with hip bone mineral density values of total femur, femoral neck, femoral trochanter, femoral inter-trochanter and femoral ward's triangle, respectively. Based on the correlations, we established a linear transformation between the relative cross-sectional area of forearm cortical bone and each hip bone BMD. We obtained forearm images using CBCT and hip bone BMDs using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for 28 subjects. We also investigated the optimal forearm region to provide the strongest correlation coefficient. We used the optimized forearm region to establish each linear transformation to estimate BMD values for total femur, femoral neck, femoral trochanter, femoral inter-trochanter and femoral ward's triangle from the relative cross-sectional area of forearm cortical bone, respectively. We observed the strong correlations with total femur (r=0.889), femoral neck (r=0.924), femoral trochanter (r=0.821), femoral inter-trochanter (r=0.867) and femoral ward's triangle (r=0.895), respectively. The strongest correlation was observed in the forearm mid-shaft regions. Our results suggest that the hip bone BMD values can be simply estimated from forearm CBCT images in a convenient sitting position without X-ray exposure on a hip including genital organs, and may be useful for screening osteoporosis.

Acoustic technology is commonly used to estimate the biomass and distribution of fisheries resources in coastal areas and the open ocean. Acoustic surveys were conducted on 24-26 May and 20-21 June, 2005, and 15-18 June and 27-30 July, 2006, near the Tongyoung, Geojae, and Namhae anchovy fishing grounds using a dual beam echo sounder. Information was obtained on the distributions of adult and juvenile anchovy (depth and position). We calculated and compared anchovy biomass using simple summation. In this study, all backscatter was attributed to anchovy. We assumed that the average target strength of anchovy was -70 dB and the average body weight was 3 g in May and June 2005, and that the target strength of anchovy was -65 dB and the average body weight was 5 g for pelagic individuals in July 2006. The anchovy biomass in May 2005 was estimated to be 0.147 million tons using the traditional method, while using the summation method, the estimated anchovy biomass was 0.062 million tons in June 2005, 0.21 million tons in June 2006, and in 0.43 million tons in July 2006.

We present a cost-effective dual polarization quadrature phase-shift coherent receiver module using a silica planar lightwave circuit (PLC) hybrid assembly. Two polarization beam splitters and two $90^{\circ}$ optical hybrids are monolithically integrated in one silica PLC chip with an index contrast of $2%-{\Delta}$. Two four-channel spot-size converter integrated waveguide-photodetector (PD) arrays are bonded on PD carriers for transverse-electric/transverse-magnetic polarization, and butt-coupled to a polished facet of the PLC using a simple chip-to-chip bonding method. Instead of a ceramic sub-mount, a low-cost printed circuit board is applied in the module. A stepped CuW block is used to dissipate the heat generated from trans-impedance amplifiers and to vertically align RF transmission lines. The fabricated coherent receiver shows a 3-dB bandwidth of 26 GHz and a common mode rejection ratio of 16 dB at 22 GHz for a local oscillator optical input. A bit error rate of $8.3{\times}10^{-11}$ is achieved at a 112-Gbps back-to-back transmission with off-line digital signal processing.

This study examines the examples and changes of wooden member terms in Yeonggeon-euigwe(營建儀軌) in the era of Joseon Dynasty. As a result of examining examples, about 240 wood member terms were found on the basis of phonetic value and examples different from today's term use were also confirmed. Wood member terms were derived in variety and synonym and different style, that is, coexistence or transition of several notations as the term indicating the same member was found. Derivation of detail terms has the characteristic increasing on the basis of morpheme and formation of different notation followed Chinese notation or was caused by complex coinage features like a coined word of Korea by the meaning of a word and borrowed character notation borrowing sound and it is also related to the specificity of that time which had dual language system. The typical examples without different style for long were pillar, rafter, door and window. Examples with active generation and selection of different styles included beam, capital and bracket-system terms. Different styles were caused by the combination of several notations including borrowed character in the process of Chinese character notation borrowing sound, Korean unique character emphasizing and limiting combination of 木 (wood) with side of character and Chinese. Period showing remarkable change of example notation was the compilation of ${\ll}$the Hwa-Sung-Sung-Euk-Eui-Gue${\gg}$ 華城城役儀軌. ${\ll}$the Hwa-Sung-Sung-Euk-Eui-Gue${\gg}$ is the representative type uigwe made by printed type not by handicraft. Printing by type accompanies unification of the shape of a character necessarily and it was considered that it resulted in the unification of character of different style, the number of strokes and minute difference of strokes, and it was interpreted that common use of intentional notation with the unification of the shape of a character was achieved.

본 논문에서는 skeleton slot 복사기를 이용하여 GSM 900과 GSM 1800에서 사용할 수 있는 이중대역 안테나를 설계 및 제작하고 측정 결과를 비교 분석하였다. 기본적인 skeleton slot구조에서는 높은 주파수 대역에서 수평 빔폭이 일정치 않고, 정재파비 특성이 좋지 않은 문제점이 있었으나, 급전부와 측면 방사부분의 다중경로 형성 및 절곡 구조를 이용하여 이를 해결하였다. 안테나의 크기는 반사판이 190$\times$190(mm), 복사기는 154$\times$106(mm), 높이는 33 mm로 하여 현재 서비스 사업자들이 주로 사용하는 크기로 구성하였다 구성 재질은 1mm 두께의 알루미늄판을 이용하며, 이를 NCT로 타공 및 절곡하여 제작하였기 때문에 대량 생산 시 단가를 낮출 수 있다. 측정결과 900 MHz 대역에서 13.7 %, 1,800 MHz 대역에서 16.4 %의 -10 dB 반사손실 대역폭을 만족하고, 방사패턴도 대역별로 $\pm$1$^{\circ}$이내의 일정한 양상을 보여 이중대역 안테나로서의 요구를 만족하였다.

In our previous study, we proposed an integrated PG-PET-based imaging method to increase the prediction accuracy for patient dose distributions. The purpose of the present study is to experimentally validate the feasibility of the PG-PET system. Based on the detector geometry optimized in the previous study, we constructed a dual-head PG-PET system consisting of a 16 × 16 GAGG scintillator and KETEK SiPM arrays, BaSO₄ reflectors, and an 8 × 8 parallel-hole tungsten collimator. The performance of this system as equipped with a proof of principle, we measured the PG and positron emission (PE) distributions from a 3 × 6 × 10 cm³ PMMA phantom for a 45 MeV proton beam. The measured depth was about 17 mm and the expected depth was 16 mm in the computation simulation under the same conditions as the measurements. In the comparison result, we can find a 1 mm difference between computation simulation and measurement. In this study, our results show the feasibility of the PG-PET system for in-vivo range verification. However, further study should be followed with the consideration of the typical measurement conditions in the clinic application.

This study conducts numerical modeling and eigen-analysis of a rod-fastened rotor, which is mainly used in aircraft gas turbine engines in which multiple disks are in contact through curvic coupling. Nayak's theory is adopted to calculate surface parameters measured from the tooth profile of the curvic coupling gear. Surface parameters are important design parameters for predicting the stiffness between contact surfaces. Based on the calculated surface parameters, elastoplastic contact analysis is performed according to the interference between two surfaces based on the Greenwood-Williamson model. The equivalent bending stiffness is predicted based on the shape and elastoplastic contact stiffness of the curvic coupling. An equation of motion of the rod-fastened rotor, including the bending stiffness of the curvic coupling, is developed. Methods for applying the bending stiffness of a curvic coupling to the equation of motion and for modeling the equation of motion of a rotor that includes both inner and outer rotors are introduced. Rotordynamic analysis is performed through one-dimensional finite element analysis, and each element is modeled based on Timoshenko beam theory. Changes in bending stiffness and the resultant critical speed change in accordance with the rod fastening force are predicted, and the corresponding mode shapes are analyzed.

현재 핵의학 분야에서는 디지털 컴퓨터의 급속한 발전 및 응용으로 인해 FBP 법의 대용으로 OSEM 알고리즘과 같은 고속 영상 재구성 알고리즘이 널리 이용되고 있다. 그 동안 여러 연구에서 파라미터 변경에 따른 OSEM 재구성 영상 질 변화에 대한 평가가 이루어져 왔으나, 어떠한 파라미터를 적용할 지에 관해서는 명확하게 정해진 것은 없다. 본 연구에서는 3D beam modeling을 적용한 3D OSEM 재구성 법에서 iteration 횟수와 subset 개수 변경에 따른 영상의 질 변화를 팬텀 실험과 환자 데이터을 통해 확인하고자 한다. 환자 데이터는 2010년 8월부터 9월까지 본원 핵의학과에서 Brain SPECT를 시행한 환자 5명을 대상으로 연구 분석하였다. 영상은 물과 $^{99m}Tc$ (500 MBq)을 균등하게 혼합한 Jaszczak 팬텀을 이용하여 Siemens사의 이중 헤드 감마 카메라 Symbia T2에서 획득하였다. 환자 데이터는 영상 재구성 시 환자 데이터와 팬텀 데이터 모두 iteration 횟수는 1, 4, 8, 12, 24, 48회, subset 개수는 2, 4, 8, 16, 32개로 변화를 주며 각각의 영상을 재구성하였다. 재구성된 각각의 영상에서 대조도와 영상의 잡음 정도를 가늠하기 위한 변이계수, FWHM을 산출하여 비교하였다. 팬텀 데이터와 환자 데이터에서 영상의 대조도와 공간해상력은 iteration 횟수와 subset 개수의 증가에 따라 모두 선형적으로 증가하는 경향을 나타냈으나 변이계수는 두 파라미터의 증가에 따라 향상되는 경향을 보이지 않았다. Projection 시간에 따른 비교에서도 Projection 당 10초, 20초, 30초 영상에서 모두 영상 대조도와 FWHM은 iteration 횟수와 subset 개수 증가에 따라 선형적으로 향상되는 결과를 나타냈으나 변이계수는 향상되는 경향을 보이지 않았다. 본 실험을 통해 3D beam modeling을 적용한 3D OSEM 재구성 법 영상에서도 기존의 1D와 2D OSEM 재구성 법과 같이 iteration 횟수와 부분집합 개수 증가에 따라 향상하는 영상 대조도의 선형적 관계를 확인할 수 있었다. 하지만 이는 단순한 팬텀 실험과 일부 환자 데이터 만으로 얻은 결과이고, 실제 임상에서는 보다 구조적으로 복잡한 대상과 다양한 변수들이 존재 가능하기 때문에 본 실험의 데이터만을 바탕으로 이를 일반화하기에는 무리가 있으며 차후 실험들을 통해 3D OSEM 재구성 법에 대한 평가가 추가로 이루어져야 할 것이다.
