AAPM CT 성능 팬텀에서 CT수 교정 삽입부의 각 핀과 물에 대응하는 유효원자번호 및 물리적 밀도에 대한 CT수에 관한 자료가 거의 없다. 따라서 자료화의 필요성이 제기되었다. 이 연구의 목적은 AAPM CT 성능 팬텀에서 CT수 교정 삽입부의 각 핀 및 물에 대하여 유효원자번호를 산출하고, 산출된 유효원자번호 및 물리적 밀도에 대한 CT수를 측정하여 비교분석하는데 있다. AAPM CT 성능 팬텀의 CT수 교정 삽입부에서 각 핀과 물의 유효원자번호 및 물리적 밀도에 관한 CT수의 자료를 획득하기 위하여, 먼저 각 핀과 물에 대한 유효원자번호를 산출하였다. 그리고 CT스캐너로 CT수 교정 삽입부를 스캔하여 CT슬라이스들을 획득하였다. 중심 CT슬라이스에서 각 핀과 물에 대하여 CT수들을 측정하였다. 결과로서, 유효원자번호에 대한 CT수들은 유효원자번호가 증가할수록 비선형적으로 증가와 감소를 반복하는 양상을 나타내었다. 그리고 물리적 밀도에 대한 CT수들도 물리적 밀도가 증가할수록 비선형적으로 증가와 감소를 반복하는 양상을 나타내었다.

The effective charge number and the critical current density of electromigration in eutetic SnPb and Pb Free $(SnAg_{3.8}Cu_{0.7)$ flip chip solder bumps are studied. The effective charge number of electromigration in eutectic SnPb solder is obtained as 34 and the critical current density is $j=0.169{\times}({\delta}_{\sigma}/{\delta}_x})\;A/cm^2,\;where\;({\delta}_{\sigma}/{\delta}_x})$ is the electromigration-induced compressive stress gradient along the length of the line. While the effect of electromigration in Pb free solder is much smaller than that in eutectic SnPb, the product of diffusivity and effective charge number $DZ^{\ast}$ has been assumed as $6.62{\times}10^{-11}$. The critical length for electromigration are also discussed.

We analyzed the effect of 6-month lagged number portability policy and introduction of common number among carriers on Korean mobile market. Our result shows that the policy change contributed to both the increase in number of mobile subscribers and decrease in dominant carrier's market share. We found that unified prefix among mobile operators is more effective than the lagged number portability policy. The carriers' profit, however, decreased a lot due to excessive marketing expenditure. We also estimated market shares of carriers up to year 2005 when full number portability policy is adopted. The results show that dominant carrier's monopolistic power will be recovered by the end of 2005 implying government's number policy itself cannot guarantee the effective competition in Korean mobile market.

Numerical study is conducted to grasp flame characteristics in $H_2/CO$ syngas counterflow diffusion flames diluted with He and Ar. An effective fuel Lewis number, applicable to premixed burning regime and even to moderately-stretched diffusion flames, is suggested through the comparison among fuel Lewis number, effective Lewis number, and effective fuel Lewis number. Flame characteristics with and without the suppression of the diffusivities of H, $H_2$, and He are compared in order to clarify the important role of preferential diffusion effects through them. It is found that the scarcity of H and He in reaction zone increases flame temperature whereas that of $H_2$ deteriorates flame temperature. Impact of preferential diffusion of H, $H_2$, and He in flame characteristics is also addressed to reaction pathways for the purpose of displaying chemical effects.

To obtain the effective sampling estuarine fauna by a passive net in the West Sea of Korea occurring strong tide, catch were collected by bag nets with various sampling trials off Ganghwa Island in November 2009. We compared the difference of community structures (on spring tide vs. neap tide, total sample vs. subsample and 4 nets vs. 1 net) with each species composition as a sampling unit by the Pearson chi-square test. Number of individual at the spring tide was more abundant than that at the neap tide (p<0.0001) although number of species at the spring tide was not significantly different with that at the neap tide (p=0.174). Both number of species (p=0.138) and number of individual (p=0.096) were not significantly different between total sample and random subsample. Number of species was not significantly different between the subsample by 1 net and the subsample by 4 nets (p=0.515), but number of individual was a little different on both samples (p=0.024). In conclusion, we suggest the subsample by 1 net at spring tide as the effective sampling estuarine fauna by a passive net in the West Sea occurring strong tide.

In the process of containerization, the problem of regional maldistribution of container management plan arises seriously due to several factors like a number of unbalances of containers between loading and discharging ports. This study focus on the minimizing cost. This study is composed of two models which in effective management decision making show decision of the number of containers and transfer of empty containers. One is decision of the number of containers which carriers should possess by appropriate forecasting and the other is effective management decision making which includes the transfer of empty containers on calling ports. This study has suggested as follows, First, the Time Series analysis method, especially the "Exponential Smooting with Trend Adjustment" was used to forecast the trade volumes for the designated traffic route. Second, the Time Series analysis method in deciding the optimal number of owned container at the unbalances trade situation between East Bound and West Bound service, most important variables were found such as total traffic volume, the calling interval at a port, the number of days of voyage and the length of stay on shore of container for the optimal number of owned container. Third, effective management decision making model, which makes it possible to analyze the impacts of change in important matters such as lease and positioning policy, and actually influence decision making.on making.

Purpose: As of July 31, there were 14,336 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in South Korea, including 301 deaths. Since the daily confirmed number of cases hit 909 on February 29, the spread of the disease had gradually decreased due to the active implementation of preventive control interventions, and the daily confirmed number had finally recorded a single digit on April 19. Since May, however, the disease has re-emerged and retaining after June. In order to eradicate the disease, it is necessary to suggest suitable forward preventive strategies by predicting future infectivity of the disease based on the cases so far. Therefore, in this study, we aim to evaluate the transmission potential of the disease in early phases by estimating basic reproduction number and assess the preventive control measures through effective reproduction number. Methods: We used publicly available cases and deaths data regarding COVID-19 in South Korea as of July 31. Using ensemble model integrated stochastic linear birth model and deterministic linear growth model, the basic reproduction number and the effective reproduction number were estimated. Results: Estimated basic reproduction number is 3.1 (95% CI: 3.0-3.2). Effective reproduction number was the highest with 7 on February 15, decreased as of April 20. Since then, the value is gradually increased to more than unity. Conclusion: Preventive policy such as wearing a mask and physical distancing campaigns in the early phase of the outbreak was fairly implemented. However, the infection potential increased due to weakening government policy on May 6. Our results suggest that it seems necessary to implement a stronger policy than the current level.

An experimental study is performed to investigate the characteristics of near wake flow behind a circular cylinder with serrated fins using a constant temperature anemometer and flow visualization. Various vortex shedding modes are observed. Fin height and pitch are closely related to the vortex shedding frequency after a certain transient Reynolds number. The through velocity across the fins decreases with increasing fin height and decreasing fin pitch. Vortex shedding is affected strongly by the velocity distribution just on top of the finned tube. The weaker gradient of velocity distribution is shown as increasing the freestream velocity and the fin height, while decreasing the fin pitch. The weaker velocity gradient delays the entrainment flow and weakens its strength. As a result of this phenomenon, vortex shedding is decreased. The effective diameter is defined as a virtual circular cylinder diameter taking into account the volume of fins, while the hydraulic diameter is proposed to cover the effect of friction by the fin surfaces. The Strouhal number based upon the effective diameters seems to correlate well with that of a circular cylinder without fins. After a certain transient Reynolds number, the trend of the Strouhal number can be estimated by checking the ratio of effective diameter to inner diameter. The normalized velocity and turbulent intensity distributions with the hydraulic diameter exhibit the best correlation with the circular cylinder's data.
