There has been necessity of an air free ionization chamber using the gold-crystal-aluminium plates, henceforth called the crystal chamber. The crystal chamber formed of parallel plates is very small in size and has more response for absorbed dose of therapeutic radiation beams. The gold plate on the crystal facing the photon and electron beam acts as an intensifier of signals and crystal plate as an ionization medium respectively. Both the copper guard ring and the aluminum collecting electrode are connected to an electrometer. Using high energy photon (6, 15 MV) and electron (9, 12, 15, 18 MeV) beams, the responses of the crystal chamber are evaluated against a PTW Farmer-type chamber at a field size of 10${\times}$10cm$^2$ and 100 cm SSD. The responses of crystal chamber for therapeutic radiation electron and photon beams are greater in magnitude by several order than Farmer. The crystal chamber has good linearity without correction factor C$\_$t,p/ with respect to the signals, a reading reproduction with good accuracy and precision less than 0.5%, and has other useful functions in measuring radiation beams.

A new form of construction utilizing structural steel as the boundary elements in ductile flexural concrete walls is proposed to solve the bar congestion problems in such a heavily reinforced region, while maintaining the ductility and energy absorption capacity comparable to their traditional form. Two wall specimens containing rectangular hollow structural sections (HSS) and channels at their ends respectively, and one companion standard reinforced concrete wall specimen with concentrated end reinforcement were constructed and tested under reversed cyclic loading to evaluate the construction process as well as the structural performance. Initially, all three specimens were chosen and detailed with some caution to have approximately the same flexural capacity without change of the original shape and dimension of a rectangular cross section correction. Analysis and comparison of test results indicated that the reversed cyclic responses of three walls showed similar hysteretic properties, but in those with steel boundaries, local buckling of the corresponding steel webs and flanges following significant yielding was a dominant factor to determine the hysteretic response. The monotonic and cyclic responses predicted based on a sectional approach was also presented and found to be in good agreement with measured results. Design recommendations considering local instability of the structural steel elements and the interaction between steel chords and a concrete web member in such a composite wall are presented.

무선 센서 네트워크는 사람이 접근할 수 없는 곳에서 감시와 정보 수집과 같은 다양한 응용분야를 가진다. 무선 센서 네트워크의 주된 연구는 에너지 소모의 감소와 데이터의 신뢰성이다. 전방향 오류 정정(FEC)을 이용한 시스템은 FEC를 사용하지 않은 시스템 보다 적은 전송 전력으로 목표하는 데이터의 신뢰성을 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 무선 센서 네트워크를 위한 FEC로 다양한 부호율(0.53, 0.81, 0.91)을 가지는 LDPC부호의 사용을 제안한다. 또한 채널로 AWGN채널에 노드 간의 간섭을 고려한다. 제안한 시스템은 낮은 SNR에서 높은 신뢰도를 가지는 데이터 전송뿐만 아니라 데이터 전송 전력의 감소를 가진다.

This paper presents an improved single-stage ac-dc LED-drive flyback converter using the transformer-coupled lossless (TCL) snubber. The proposed converter is derived from the integration of a full-bridge diode rectifier and a conventional flyback converter with a simple TCL snubber. The TCL snubber circuit is composed of only two diodes, a capacitor, and a transformer-coupled auxiliary winding. The TCL snubber limits the surge voltage of the switch and regenerates the energy stored in the leakage inductance of the transformer. Also, the switch of the proposed converter is turned on at a minimum voltage using a formed resonant circuit. Thus, the proposed converter achieves high efficiency. The proposed converter utilizes only one general power factor correction (PFC) control IC as its controller and performs both PFC and output power regulation, simultaneously. Therefore, the proposed converter provides a simple structure and an economic implementation and achieves a high power factor without the need for any separate PFC circuit. In this paper, the operational principle of the proposed converter is explained in detail and the design guideline of the proposed converter is briefly shown. Experimental results for a 40-W prototype are shown to validate the performance of the proposed converter.

Today, weather radar is used as a key tool for modern high-tech weather observations and forecasts, along with a wide variety of ground gauges and weather satellites. In this paper, we propose a frequency transform based weather radar image processing technique to improve the weather radar image damaged by beam blocking and clutter removal in order to minimize the uncertainty of the weather radar observation. In the proposed method, DCT based mean energy correction is performed to improve damage caused by beam shielding, and DWT based morphological image processing and high frequency cancellation are performed to improve damage caused by clutter removal. Experimental results show that the application of the proposed method to the damaged original weather radar image improves the quality of weather radar image adaptively to the weather echo feature around the damaged area. In addition, radar QPE calculated from the improved weather radar image was also qualitatively confirmed to be improved by the damage. In the future, we will develop quantitative evaluation scales through continuous research and develop an improved algorithm of the proposed method through numerical comparison.

An interleaved bridgeless buck-boost AC/DC converter is presented in this paper to achieve the characteristics of low conduction loss, a high power factor and low harmonic and ripple currents. There are only two power semiconductors in the line current path instead of the three power semiconductors in a conventional boost AC/DC converter. A buck-boost converter operated in the boundary conduction mode (BCM) is adopted to control the active switches to achieve the following characteristics: no diode reverse recovery problem, zero current switching (ZCS) turn-off of the rectifier diodes, ZCS turn-on of the power switches, and a low DC bus voltage to reduce the voltage stress of the MOSFETs in the second DC/DC converter. Interleaved pulse-width modulation (PWM) is used to control the switches such that the input and output ripple currents are reduced such that the output capacitance can be reduced. The voltage doubler topology is adopted to double the output voltage in order to extend the useable energy of the capacitor when the line voltage is off. The circuit configuration, principle operation, system analysis, and a design example are discussed and presented in detail. Finally, experiments on a 500W prototype are provided to demonstrate the performance of the proposed converter.

국내의 심각한 저출산 문제와 평균수명의 연장으로 인하여 고령화가 다른 어떤 나라들보다도 빠르게 진행되고 있기 때문에 고령화 문제를 심각하게 다루고 다양한 사회적 파급효과를 분석하여 대응할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 고령화가 가정용 전력수요에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 1965년~2010년까지 46년간의 연도별 시계열 자료를 분석한 연구 결과에 의하면 가정용 전력수요는 전력가격, 소득 수준, 고령화에 유의하게 반응하고 있는 것으로 분석되었고, 특히 고령화가 가정용 전력수요에 미치는 영향은 단기적으로 더욱 크게 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 고령화가 전력수요에 복합적인 영향을 미치는데 단기적으로 수요를 감소시키는 요인이 더욱 강력하게 영향을 주는 반면, 수요를 증가시키는 요인은 장기적으로 서서히 나타나기 때문일 것이다. 그러나 장기적으로도 고령화는 가정용 전력수요를 감소시키는 것으로 나타났고, 정부가 예측한 속도로 고령화가 진행될 경우 가정용 전력수요는 연간 3%보다 낮은 수준으로 증가할 것으로 예상된다.
