방사선이 존재하는 환경에서 무색, 무미, 무촉의 방사선을 검출하기 위한 계측장비는 매우 중요하며 그동안 방사선 계측장비의 개발에 대한 많은 연구들이 있었다. 특히 방사선을 검출한 이후 측정된 검출신호를 손실 없이 효율적으로 처리하기 위해 검출된 미세전류를 전압형태로 정형하고, 이를 정확하게 판독하는 신호처리 부분은 매우 중요하다. 검출된 방사선 신호파형을 판독할 때, 지금까지는 신호의 전압파형을 짧은 시간 동안 일정한 값으로 유지시켜 파형의 크기를 판독한 후, 그 전기적인 값을 방전하고 다음 파형에 대비하는 피크홀드방식을 사용하였다. 이 연구에서는 방사선 검출기에서 측정된 검출신호 전압파형의 판독을 피크홀드방식이 아닌, 전압신호의 파고 정점에 이르는 시간을 포착하여 그 값을 직접 판독하는 방식을 제안한다. 이 방식에 의하면 전압 파고를 일정한 시간동안 유지하거나, 유지된 전압 파고를 초기상태로 만드는 복잡한 과정을 거치지 않고 검출된 방사선 신호를 정확하게 판독할 수 있다는 장점을 가지며, 실제 시뮬레이션을 통하여 이를 검증하였다.

Impaired respiratory function is common in patients with stroke. The purpose of this study were to investigate the effectiveness of exercises and to assess forced vital capacity and peak cough flow after completion of neck stabilizing and respiratory reeducation exercises (combining diaphragmatic breathing and pursed-lip breathing exercises). The 45 participants were randomly assigned to an experimental group 1 ($n_1=15$), experimental group 2 ($n_2=15$), and a control group ($n_3=15$). All subjects performed conservative physical therapy for 30 minutes. Experimental group 1 undertook the neck stabilizing exercise and the respiratory reeducation exercise. Experimental group 2 undertook the respiratory reeducation exercise. Additional exercise did not exceed 30 minutes, five times a week for six weeks. The subjects were assessed for deep neck flexor thickness and breathing function (forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume at one second, forced expiratory volume at one second/forced vital capacity, peak expiratory flow, and manual assisted peak cough flow) at pre-post value. The results of this study were as follows. Experimental group 1 showed a significant increase only in deep neck flexor thickness change rate (p<.05). All groups showed significant increases in forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume at one second, and peak expiratory flow in pre-post measurement (p<.05). Experimental groups 1 and 2 showed an increase in manual assisted peak cough flow in pre-post measurement (p<.05). There was no significant difference between experimental group 1 and experimental group 2, but experimental group 1 improved more than experimental group 2 in respiratory function as a whole. In conclusion, these findings suggest that the neck stabilizing exercise in combination with the respiratory reeducation exercise can improve forced vital capacity and peak cough flow in patients with stroke.

MBE로 성장한 AlGaAs/GaAs multiple-quantum well(MQW)에 대하여 pump source를 He-Ne laser와 Ar laser를 사용하여 상온에서 PR(photoreflectance)측정을 수행한 결과 여러 subband transition peak을 관찰하였다. PR결과를 standard analytic line shape으 로 fitting하여n=1의 conduction band와 heavy hole 그리고 light hole transition peak인 Cl-Hl, Cl-Ll에 대한 energy값들을 얻었다. 또한 상온에서의 PL(photoluminescence)측정에 서 Cl-Hl, Cl-Ll과 관련된 main peak와 shoulder를 관찰하였다. 이 값은 PR측정값과 잘 일 치함으로써 PL에서의 main peak와 should가 Cl-Hl, Cl-Ll과 관련된 peak임을 확인할 수 있 었다. 또한 envelope function approximation(EFA)을 이용하여 구한 이론값과 PR과 PL에서 측정된 실험값들을 비교하였다.

In this study, an implicit one-dimensional model, DWRM(Dynamic Wave Routing Model) was developed by using the four-point weighted difference method. By applying the developed model to the Keum River, the parameters were calibrated and the model applicability was tested through the comparison between observed and computed water levels. In addition, the effects of the construction of an estuary dam to the flood wave were estimated as a result of the model application. The results of the study can be summarized as follows; 1. The roughness coefficients were evaluated by comparison between observed and computed water level at Jindu, Gyuam and Ganggyeung station in 1985. The Root Mean Squares for water level differences between observed and computed values were 0.10, 0.11, 0. 29m and the differences of peak flood levels were 0.07, 0.02, 0. 07m at each station. Since the evaluated roughness coefficients were within the range of 0.029-0.041 showing the realistic value for the general condition of rivers, it can be concluded that the calibration has been completed. 2. By the application of model using the calibrated roughness coefficients, the R. M. S. for water level differences were 0.16, 0.24, 0. 24m and the differences of peak flood level were 0.17, 0.13,0.08 m at each station. The arrival time of peak flood at each station and the stage-discharge relationship at Gongju station agreed well with the observed values. Therefore, it was concluded that the model could be applied to the Keum River. 3. The model was applied under conditions before and after the construction of the estuary dam. The 50-year frequency flood which had 7, 800m$^3$/sec of peak flood was used as the upstream condition, and the spring tide and the neap tide were used as the downstream condition. As the results of the application, no change of the peak flood level was showed in the upper reaches of 19.2km upstream from the estuary dam. For areas near 9.6km upstream from the estuary dam, the change of the peak flood level under the condition before and after the construction was 0. 2m. However considering the assumptions for the boundary conditions of downstream, the change of peak flood level would be decreased.

From simultaneous recordings of the external photoglottography, intra-oral air pressure (P_io), airflow and acoustic data from four native Seoul Korean speakers (2 male and 2 female), we have found that the two fricatives are not significantly different in glottal opening peak and airflow peak height either word-initially or word-medially and that the duration of aspiration is significantly reduced in word-medial /s/, compared to those in word-initial /s/, not in /s'/. We have also found that the duration of a high P_io plateau is significantly longer in /s/ than in /s'/ both word-initially and word-medially and that airflow resistance (R=P_io/U) at the onset and offset of a P_io plateau and at the time of airflow peak height is significantly higher in /s'/ than in /s/ across the contexts. However, the differences in P_io peak and F0 are not significant. In addition, the transition time to reach airflow peak height from the offset of a P_io plateau is found to be significantly longer in /s/ than /s'/ in both word-initial and word-medial positions. No significant differences in glottal opening peak and airflow peak height confirm that /s/ is specified as [-spread glottis] like /s'/. As for the other significant differences, we propose that /s/ is [-tense], and /s'/ [+tense].

Background: Type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM) is an emerging global pandemic which is associated with lots of co-morbidities and reported vascular dysfunctions. T2DM associated vascular dysfunctions leads to vasculopathy in the form of altered peripheral vascular dynamics. Cold stress test (CST) is a reliable sympathetic reactivity test used for assessing vascular dysfunctions. In this study we are trying to quantify vascular dysfunctions in T2DM patients non invasively by various parameters of photoplethysmography (PPG) of cold stress test. Methods: Case control study had done in referral health center AIIMS, Raipur. Parameters are recorded by finger-PPG before, during and after CST (1 min) in 2 groups, control (n = 20 healthy volunteers) and case (n = 20 diagnosed T2DM patients). Results: Due to cold stress, PPG parameter peak amplitude was significantly decreased in both healthy and T2DM groups (p <0.001 and p <0.001, respectively). However, recovery trend of amplitude was significantly slow in T2DM compared to healthy subjects. Another PPG parameter peak to peak interval was significantly higher in healthy group compared to T2DM patients. Conclusions: This study showed that T2DM patients has significant deranged pulse volume parameters like amplitude and peak to peak interval can be used to objectively quantify the vasculopathy in T2DM patients by using sympathetic reactivity to cold stress.

본 논문에서는 GBCA(Gadolinium Based Contrast Agent)를 이용한 MRI 검사 시 다양한 MR 시퀀스에 따른 GBCA 몰농도별 조영증강 변화를 알아보기 위해 자체 제작한 MR 팬텀을 사용하여 정량적으로 평가 분석하고자 하였다. MR 팬텀을 제작하기 위해 28개의 용기에 500 mmol Gadoteridol을 saline과 혼합하여 각각 500 부터 0 mmol 까지 몰농도를 서로 다르게 하였다. 제작된 MR phantom을 1.5T MRI 장비에서 물리학적 기전이 서로 다른 T1 SE, T2 FLAIR, T1 FLAIR, 3D FLASH, T1 3D SPACE, 3D SPCIR 시퀀스로 스캔하여 신호강도 변화를 측정 한 후 비교 분석 하였다. T1 Spin echo는 Total SI(Signal Intensity)가 15608.7, Max peak는 1 mmol에서 1352.6, T2 FLAIR는 Total SI가 9106.4, Max peak는 0.4 mmol에서 1721.6, T1 FLAIR에서는 Total SI가 20972.5, Max peak는 1 mmol에서 1604.9, 3D FLASH는 Total SI가 20924.0, Max peak는 40 mmol에서 1425.7, 3D SPACE 1mm는 Total SI가 6399.0, Max peak는 3 mmol에서 528.3, 3D SPACE 5mm는 Total SI가 6276.5, Max peak는 2 mmol에서 514.6, 3D SPCIR의 경우는 Total SI가 1778.8, Max peak는 0.4 mmol에서 383.8의 신호강도를 보였다. T1 SE를 포함한 대부분의 시퀀스에서 몰농도가 높았을 때 보다는 대체적으로 일정이상 희석이 이루어진 비교적 낮은 농도에서 높은 신호강도를 보였다. 또한 서로 다른 물리학적 기전의 다양한 MR시퀀스에서 GBCA의 조영증강 패턴 역시 모두 달랐다. 본 연구를 통해 얻어진 시퀀스에 따른 GBCA 농도별 반응에 대한 정량적 데이터를 통하여 실제 임상에서의 조영증강검사에 있어서 효율적인 MR검사 프로토콜에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to suggest the basic materials for proposing effective and efficient methods when stretching by measuring isokinetic muscular strength according to static, dynamic and PNF stretching. Methods: This study was conducted on 45 healthy persons (male and female) in their twenties who are attending universities. The subjects are randomly divided into three (3) groups, and static stretching is applied in group 1, dynamic stretching is applied in group 2 and PNF stretching is applied in group 3. After carrying out static, dynamic and PNF stretching, peak torque was measured using isokinetic muscular strength measurement. Results: According to the results, at $60^{\circ}$/sec and $180^{\circ}$/sec isokinetic peak torque of the knee joint according to types of stretching, the largest changes were shown in Group 2 extension and flexion, and the least changes were shown in Group 1. There were significant differences among the three groups (p<0.05), and the result of after-analysis by LSD showed that there were significant differences between Groups 1 and 2, and Groups 1 and 3 (p<0.05). Conclusion: The intention of this study was to determine the peak torque using Cybex after applying three stretching methods to hamstring muscles, and the case of dynamic and PNF stretching was found to be more significant in both the $60^{\circ}$/sec and $180^{\circ}$/sec angular speeds than that of static stretching. Using the results of such studies, if dynamic and PNF stretching are applied together with warming-up before performing sports, the risk of suffering wounds would reduce and the exactness of sports would increase.

To investigate allowable peak cladding temperature and hoop stress for maintenance of cladding integrity during interim-dry storage and subsequent transport, zirconium alloy cladding tubes were hydrogen-charged to generate 250 ppm and 500 ppm hydrogen contents, simulating spent nuclear fuel degradation. The hydrogen-charged specimens were heated to four peak temperatures of $250^{\circ}C$, $300^{\circ}C$, $350^{\circ}C$, and $400^{\circ}C$, and then cooled to room temperature at cooling rates of $0.3^{\circ}C/min$ under three tensile hoop stresses of 80 MPa, 100 MPa, and 120 MPa. The cool-down specimens showed that high peak heat-up temperature led to lower hydrogen content and that larger tensile hoop stress generated larger radial hydride fraction and consequently lower plastic elongation. Based on these out-of-pile cladding tube test results only, it may be said that peak cladding temperature should be limited to a level < $250^{\circ}C$, regardless of the cladding hoop stress, to ensure cladding integrity during interim-dry storage and subsequent transport.
