In the study of the focal trough of panoramic radiograph using Panoura Eight-S (the Yoshida company), a series of 63 X-ray films were taken with the 8-19 metal pins placed in the holes of the plastic model plate and evaluated by 4 observers. The author analized the focal trough defined by the sharpness criteria and calculated dimension of focal trough in the horizontal plane. The results were as follows; 1. Focal trough was not continued in the anterior region within a very high degree of sharpness. 2. With optional sharpness, the width of anterior and posterior focal trough was approximately l3㎜ and 60㎜ respectively. 3. The focal trough was narrow in the anterior region and was flared laterally with symmetry in posterior region. 4. Sharp image began to show at the position of 18㎜ posteriorly from the most anterior position of chin rest.

In the study of the focal trough of panoramic radiograph, using the Moritta compony Panex-EC a series of 48 exposures were: taken with the 6-18 brass pins placed in the holes of the plastic model plate, then eveluated by 4 observers. The author analyzed the focal trough defined by the sharpness criteria and calcuated the vertical and horizontal magnification range in the corrected focal trough. The results were as follows; 1. Continuous focal trough was not defined in the anterior region using a very high degree of sharpness. 2. As degree of sharpness used in the analysis became less, focal trough was continuous in the anterior and posterior regions, symmetrized bilaterally, and the widths of the focal trough increased more in the posterior region. e. As sharpness criteria were reduced, the percentage range of image magnification increased on both vertical and horizontal magnification, and especially the percentage range of horizontal magnification was greater than that of vertical magnification.

본 연구에서는 P파형의 초동극성 분포를 이용하여 홍성지진의 Focal Mechanism을 평가하였다. 비선형 전산처리과정을 이용하여 원지진진앙거리에서 관측된 9개의 P파형의 초동극성 분포와 주향, 경사 및 상반변위방향의 변화로부터 구한 Focal Mechanism과의 부합성을 조사하였다. 위의 과정을 이용하여 처리한 결과 주단층면의 주향 및 겅사는 약 247도 및 약 78도로서 홍성부근지역의 선구조와 잘 일치함을 보여주었다. 그러나, 주단층면의 상반변위 방향은 약 40도에서 약 160도 까지의 광범위한 값을 보여주었으나, 이는 관측점의 방위각 분포가 불충분하기 때문인 것으로 분석되었다. 위에서 결정된 Focal Mechanism이 의미하는 주응력 방향은 일본 트렌치를 따라서 태평양판이 유라시아판 아래로 Subduction할 때 가능한 지응력장가 상반되지 않음을 보여 주었다. 또한, 이러한 Focal Mechanism으로부터 원자력발전소나 핵폐기물 처리장 및 처분장 건설시, 부지고유응답 스펙트럼 및 강지진동 자료와 같은 내진설계기준을 위해 필요한 한반도의 지진지체구조 특성에 대한 정보를 얻을 수 있다.

This experimental study represents the results of an analysis on the characteristics of flux density distribution in the focal region of solar concentrator. The characteristics of flux density distributions are investigated to optimally design and position a cavity receiver. This was deemed very useful to find and correct various errors associated with a dish concentrator. We estimated the flux density distribution on the target placed along with focal lengths from the dish vertex to experimentally determine the focal length. It is observed that the actual focal point exists when the focal length is 2.17m. The total integrated power and percent power was 2467W and $85.8\%$, respectively, in the case of small dish, and also 2095W and $79\%$, respectively, in the case of KIERDISH II. As a result of the percent power within radius, approximately $90\%$ of the incident radiation is intercepted by about 0.06 m radius. The minimum radius of receiver in KIERDISH II is found to be 0.15m and approximately $90\%$ of the incident radiation is intercepted by receiver aperture.

We estimated the flux density distribution on the target placed along with focal lengths from the dish vertex to experimentally determine the focal length. It is observed that the actual focal point exists when the focal length is 2.17 m. We also evaluated the position of flux centroid, and it was found that there were errors within 2 cm from the target center. The total integrated power of 2467 W was measured under focal flux distributions, which corresponds to the intercept rate of 85.8%. As a result of the percent power within radius, approximately 90% of the incident radiation is intercepted by about 0.06 m radius.

A solar concentrator, named KIERDISH II, was built at KIER in order to investigate the feasibility of high temperature solar energy application system. The constructed concentrator is a dish type solar concentrator with a focal length of 4.68m and a diameter of 7.9m. To successfully operate KIERDISH II, optimal design of the absorber is very important and flux density distribution has to be known. The focal flux density distribution on the receiver was measured. We have observed the shape and size of flux images and evaluated percent power within radius. Flux density distribution is usually measured by a CCD(charge coupled device) camera and a radiometer. In this paper we present a flux mapping method to estimate the characteristic features of the flux density distribution in the focal region of solar concentrator. The minimum radius of receiver is found to be 0.15m and approximately 90% of the incident radiation is intercepted by receiver aperture.

It is difficult to see a therapeutic effect from cardiovascular disease treatment methods in the case of a hardened chronic total occlusion (CTO), owing to the calcification of the deposition materials. However, lesion cells, such as CTOs, can be selectively necrotized without affecting the normal tissue using high-intensity ultrasound focused on one point. In this study, a phantom CTO was necrotized by a high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) energy system, and the acoustic characteristics in the focal region were analyzed. An experimental HIFU device was constructed to discover the appropriate conditions for the necrosis of a phantom CTO. The transfer characteristics of the ultrasound changed in the focal region by the density difference of the phantom CTO. These changes were acoustically analyzed to choose the available frequency band for each density. On-off temperature control in the focal region was applied to prevent rapid temperature rises, which would otherwise affect normal tissue.

Essential hyperhidrosis is a socially disabling and emotionally embarrassing condition. Localized excessive sweating in the sacrococcygeal region is a rare form of focal hyperhidrosis. Although numerous treatment options exist, including botulinum toxin and sympathetic neurolysis, there has been no generally accepted form of treatment. The following cases describe the successful reduction of excessive sweating in the sacrococcygeal region, without side effects, after local applications of topical glycopyrrolate and the use of fast drying clothes.

The purpose of this study was to characterize focal hepatic lesions through pre and post ferucarbotran-enhanced T2 and T2＊-weighted imaging and to help differentiate benign and malignant lesions 대상 및 방법： Consecutive 34 patients with 52 hepatic lesions underwent MRI before and after intravenous bolus injection of ferucarbotran (Resovist Sobering, Berlin, Germany) for evaluation of focal hepatic lesions. Lesions included hemangiomas (n=17), metastases (n=12), cysts (n=10), hepatocellular carcinomas (n=8), dysplastic nodules (n=4), and focal fat deposit (n=1). T2-weighted fast spin echo (TR/TE： 4060/138) and gradient echo T2＊-weighted images(TR/TE： 140/5.3, FA = 90) were obtained according to the institutional routine imaging protocol. Lesional signal-intensity and lesion-to-liver contrast changes were measured by contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) from region of interest.

It is known that individual factors as cognitive, perception, emotion, and motivation may greatly influence on recovery from neurologic region. This study was to investigate the effects of environmental reinforcement through motivation to perform the tasks voluntarily on motor and cognition function in rats with focal ischemic brain injury. Focal ischemic brain injury was induced in Sprague-Dawley rats (15 rats, $250{\pm}50$ g) through middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAo). And then, experiment groups were randomly divided into three groups; The control group: MCAo induction ($n_1$=5), the environmental reinforcement (ER) group: the application for ER after MCAo induction ($n_2$=5), the environmental reinforcement through motivation (ERM) group: the application for ERM after MCAo induction ($n_3$=5). The climbing test (CT) and the modified limb placing tests (MLPTs) to measure the motor function and the Morris water maze acquisition test (MWMAT) and the Morris water maze retention test (MWMRT) to measure the cognitive function were performed. For the CT, the ERM group was significantly larger than the ER group. For the MLPTs, the ERM group was significantly decreased compared to other groups. For the MWMAT, the time to find the circular platform in the ERM group significantly decreased compared to other groups. For the MWMRT, the time to dwell on the quadrant circular platform in the ERM group was significantly increased compared to other groups. These results suggested that the ERM could improve the motor and cognitive functions in the rats with focal ischemic brain injury.
