연구 목적: 등가면법은 장방형의 X-선 조사면의 출력인자 계산에 널리 이용되고 있다. 본 연구에 서는 출력인자 계산시 등가면법의 적용에 영향을 줄 수 있는 선질, 조사면의 두 변의 길이의 비, 측정점의 깊이 등을 조사하였다. 또한 등가면법의 타당성이 유지되는 영역을 밝히는 어림계산법을 제시하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 본 연구에 사용된 X-선의 선원은 4-, 6-, l0-MV 이었다. 조사면의 폭을 5-40 cm 까지 변화시키고 각 조사면에서 두 변의 비를 1:1 에서 10:1 까지 변화시켰다. 조사면의 장방효과는 물팬톰을 이용하였으며, dmax, 5-cm, 10-cm 깊이에서 시행하였다. 장방형의 조사면과 각 조사면에 대한 등가정사각형면에서의 출력인자를 구하여 이들 두 방법에서의 차이를 나타냈다. 결과 및 토의: 장방형의 조사면과 이에 대응하는 등가면 간의 출력인자의 차이는 일반적으로 장방비가 커질수록 증가하였다. 장방형의 조사면에 대한 출력인자의 측정값은 일반적으로 각 조사면의 등가정사각형면을 이용하여 계산한 값보다 높게 나타나서 크게는 10%의 차이를 나타냈다. 똑같은 두 변의 비에 대하여 장방형의 조사면과 둥가정사각형면에 대한 출력인자의 차이는 조사면의 크기가 작을수록 크게 나타났다. 실험에 사용한 각각에서 선질의 종류와 각각의 선질에서 측정깊이에서 두 값은 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 결론 : 본 연구결과에 의하여 등가면법을 출력인자 계산에 사용할 경우 이를 판단할 어림계산법을 구할 수 있다. 한 변의 길이가 25-cm 이하인 조사면에 대하여 만일 장방비 < (0.48) (긴 변의 길이) - 0.5를 만족하는 경우에는 출력인자의 오차를 2% 안에서 등가면법을 이용할 수 있다. 이와는 다른 경우에는 출력인자를 직접 측정하여야 한다. 이러한 기준은 4-10MV X-선원에 대하여 10-cm 깊이의 측정점까지 타당하다.

Purpose: To evaluate the effective volume of the Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science free air chamber (KRISS FAC) L1 used for the primary standard device of the low-energy X-ray air kerma. Methods: The mechanical dimensions were measured using a 3-dimensional coordinate measuring machine (3-d CMM, Model UMM 500, Carl Zeiss). The diameter of the diaphragm was measured by a ring gauge calibrator (Model KRISS-DM1, KRISS). The elongation of the collector length due to electric field distortion was determined from the capacitance measurement of the KRISS FAC considering the result of the finite element method (FEM) analysis using the code QuickField v6.4. Results: The measured length of the collector was 15.8003±0.0014 mm with a 68% confidence level (k=1). The aperture diameter of the diaphragm was 10.0021±0.0002 mm (k=1). The mechanical measurement volume of the KRISS FAC L1 was 1.2415±0.0006 cm³ (k=1). The elongated length of the collector due to the electric field distortion was 0.170±0.021 mm. Considering the elongated length, the effective measurement volume of the KRISS FAC L1 was 1.2548±0.0019 cm³(k=1). Conclusions: The effective volume of the KRISS FAC L1 was determined from the mechanically measured value by adding the elongated volume due to the electric field distortion in the FAC. The effective volume will replace the existing mechanically determined volume in establishing and maintaining the primary standard of the low-energy X-ray.

In this paper, novel Carbon Nanotube Gate-Elongated Tunneling Field Transistor(CNT G-E TFET) is proposed. This proposed device is designed to decrease off-current around 2~6 orders of magnitude compared to the gate-channel size matched TFET. Mechanism of CNT G-E TFET creates additional steps in energy band structure so that off-current can be reduced. Since CNT TFETs show a great probability for tunneling processes and they are beneficial for the overall device performance in terms of switching speed and power consumption, CNT G-E TFET looks pretty much promising.

Background In performing extended latissimus dorsi (ELD) flap procedures, a skin paddle design on the bra line helps reduce visible scarring. This improves the patient's satisfaction with the outcome. However, such a design leads to a longer operation time and increased fatigue of the surgeon due to the narrow operative field. In this study, the authors propose a method that elongates the axillary incision line posteriorly by 1.5 cm from the lateral border of the latissimus dorsi muscle. We examined whether this method could shorten the operation time and compared the incidence of complications between patients who underwent this novel procedure and patients who underwent the traditional procedure. Methods In this study of patients who underwent ELD flap procedures for immediate breast reconstruction, 89 underwent surgery with the elongated axillary incision and 45 underwent surgery without the elongated incision. The total operation time and complications were retrospectively examined based on the patients' medical records, and we examined whether there was any statistically significant difference in the total operation time. Results In the experimental group with the elongated axillary incision, the operation time ranged from 125 to 255 minutes (median, 175 minutes). In contrast, in the control group without the elongated axillary incision, the operation time ranged from 142 and 340 minutes (median, 205 minutes). The operation time was statistically significantly different between the two groups, and no significant complications were observed in the experimental group. Conclusions Elongation of the axillary incision alone may shorten the operation time of the ELD flap procedure without causing additional complications.

Reviewing the two MeV-GeV investigations in the field of the HESS J1745-303 performed using Fermi Large Area Telescope data, we confirmed that the emission peak comfortably coincides with 'Region A' in the TeV regime, which is the brightest part of this feature. The MeV-TeV spectrum can be precisely described by a single power-law. Also, recent investigation has shown that the MeV-GeV feature is elongated from 'Region A' toward the north-west, which is similar to the case of largescale atomic/molecular gas distribution.

생체 적합성이 우수한 gelatin(GEL)과 기계적 물성이 뛰어난 poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA)로 이루어진 블렌드막을 $3{\sim}10kV$의 고전장하에서 용액 캐스팅 법에 의해 제조하였고, 막중에 형성되는 미세한 domain 구조의 배향에 미치는 전장의 효과를 조사하였다. 5 kV이상의 높은 전장하에서 제조된 막의 경우 SEM 사진으로부터 막중의 GEL domain이 전장인가 방향으로 배향되어 있음을 관찰하였다. 이는 제막 중 상분리된 두 상의 계면장력 감소에 기인한 Maxwell의 정전 분산 효과에 의한 것으로 해석될 수 있다. 또한, 고전장 인가시 전극 판에서 발생하는 열과 GEL domain의 연신 배향 효과에 의해 PVA/GEL 블렌드막의 결정화도가 증가하는 것을 WAXD와 팽윤거동 관찰을 통해 확인 할 수 있었다.

We present N-body simulations of globular clusters including gravitational field of the Galaxy, in order to study effects of tidal field systematically on the shape of outer parts of globular clusters using NBODY6. The Galaxy is assumed to be composed of central bulge and outer halo. We mvestigate the cluster of multi-mass models with a power-law initial mass function (IMF) starting with different initial masses, initial number of particles, different slopes of the IMF and different orbits of the cluster. We have examined the general evolution of the clusters, the shape of outer parts of the clusters, density profiles and the direction of tidal tails. The density profiles appear to become somewhat shallower just outside the tidal boundary consistent with some observed data. The position angle of the tidal tall depends on the location in the Galaxy as well as the direction of the motion of. clusters. We found that the clusters become more elongated at the apogalacticon than at the pengalacticon. The tidal tails may be used to trace the orbital paths of globular clusters.

The deformation and departure processes of a bubble attached to the wall are studied experimentally and numerically to understand the phenomena of the nucleate boiling heat transfer enhancement under DC electric field. An air-bubble is injected in a dielectric liquid with different electric fields generated by changing three types of electrode system (Type 1,2 and 3) in the bubble generator. Experimental variables are the electric field strength and the distance and the shape of the electrodes under DC electric field. From experimental results, it is observed that the bubble under Dc electric field is elongated in the same direction as the electric field and the contact angle increases. For the parallel plate electrode which generates a uniform electric field, bubble departure volume doesn't seem to decrease within our experimental range. However, when a needle is raised a few millimeters from the lower electrode to make a nonuniform electric field around the needle, bubble departure volume decreases continuously with the increase of an applied voltage. The reduction effect of bubble departure volume is the most effective under a strong nonuniform electric field generated with Type 3. As the nonuniformity of the electric field due to the shape of a electrode increases, the terminal velocity and the acceleration of a bubble increase largely. For the comparison with visualization results, the deformation of a bubble attached to the electrode is carried out by a numerical method. Numerical results show good agreement qualitatively with experimental results.

Fossil groups of galaxies have characteristic features of a dominant central elliptical galaxy (${\Delta}M_{12}$ > 2 in $0.5R_{vir}$) embedded in highly relaxed X-ray halo, which indicates dynamically stable and evolved systems. These are thought as a final stage of the evolution of galaxy groups in the hierarchical structure formation scenario. However, the formation and evolution of fossil clusters are still unclear due to lack of detailed studies. Therefore, we perform a kinematic research of a known fossil cluster Abell 2261 (A2261 hereafter) using spectroscopic data of 589 galaxies in the A2261 field. Even though A2261 is known as a fossil cluster, previous studies found several unusual features such as quite high X-ray entropy for a stable cluster, and an elongated shape, which are not expected in standard fossil clusters. Using the caustic method, we identify cluster member galaxies and discover a second bright galaxy (${\Delta}M_{12}=1.68$) at ${\sim}1.5R_{vir}$. The presence of such a bright galaxy can break the current fossil state of cluster in the near future. In addition, with two independent substructure finding methods, we confirm that the previously detected elongated galaxy distribution of the cluster is a real feature. These findings indicate that A2261 is not in a fully stable state, unlike the existing fossil definition diagnostic. We require a more stringent criterion for the fossil definition to represent a genuinely final stage of cluster evolution.

Purpose : Measurement of transmission dose is useful for in vivo dosimetry of QA purpose. The objective of this study is to develope an algorithm for estimation of tumor dose using measured transmission dose for open radiation field. Materials and Methods : Transmission dose was measured with various field size (FS), phantom thickness (Tp), and phantom chamber distance (PCD) with a acrylic phantom for 6 MV and 10 MV X-ray Source to chamber distance (SCD) was set to 150 cm. Measurement was conducted with a 0.6 cc Farmer type ion chamber. Using measured data and regression analysis, an algorithm was developed for estimation of expected reading of transmission dose. Accuracy of the algorithm was tested with flat solid phantom with various settings. Results : The algorithm consisted of quadratic function of log(A/P) (where A/P is area-perimeter ratio) and tertiary function of PCD. The algorithm could estimate dose with very high accuracy for open square field, with errors within ${\pm}0.5%$. For elongated radiation field, the errors were limited to ${\pm}1.0%$. Conclusion : The developed algorithm can accurately estimate the transmission dose in open radiation fields with various treatment settings.
