  • 본 논문은 선박소음 데이터에 음선 역전파 기법을 적용하여 수동 선박 위치 추정 알고리듬을 제시한다. 기존의 방법 [S. H. Abadi, D. Rouseff and D. R. Dowling, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 131, 2599-2610 (2012)]은 음선 기반 블라인드 디컨벌루션 및 음선 역전파 기법을 활용하여 배열의 기울기가 없는 근거리 환경에서 음원의 위치를 추정하였다. 하지만 위 방법은 배열의 기울기에 따른 위치 추정 오차가 크게 발생한다는 단점이 존재한다. 이를 극복하기 위해 본 논문에서는 음선 기반 블라인드 디컨벌루션 및 음선 역전파 기법을 사용하되, 배열의 기울기를 보정하여 음원의 위치를 추정할 수 있는 알고리듬을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리듬의 성능은 SAVEX15(Shallow-water Acoustic Variability EXperiment in 2015)해상 실험의 선박소음 데이터를 이용하여 검증하였다.

  • 디지털유방촬영술은 유방암의 조기진단에 매우 중요하다. 그러나 방사선량을 과다하게 피폭하는 경우에는 환자에게 유방암의 발생확률을 증가 시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 제조사별 관전압과 타깃-필터의 변화에 따른 흡수선량률과 화질을 분석하고 최적의 타깃-필터조합을 찾아 환자의 피폭선량 변화를 확인하고자 하였다. 각 제조사별 흡수선량률에서는 Mo/Mo를 사용할 때 가장 낮게 측정되었다. 대조도는 Mo/Rh를 사용할 때 우수하게 나타났다. SNR은 Mo/Mo(Siemens), Mo/Rh(Hologic), Mo/Rh(GE) 에서 우수하게 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 최대의 환자선량감소, 고대조도 영상획득, 높은 SNR 영상획득등 사용목적에 따라 타깃-필터 선택 시 좋은 참고지표가 될 것이다.

  • In this paper, through the study on locations of structural transducers for active control of the radiated sound from the vibrating plate, the active structural acoustic control (ASAC) system is proposed. And, for the evaluation of the proposed location, the experiment of the active structural acoustic control is implemented using the multi-channel filtered-x LMS algorithm and an additional filter (Acoustic Prediction Filter) to estimate the radiated sound using the acceleration signals of the plate. The structural transducers are piezoceramic actuator (PZT) and accelerometer. PZT is used as an actuator to reduce the vibration and the radiated sound. To maximize the control performance, each PZT actuator is located at the position that has the largest control sensitivity of the plate bending moment in the direction of x and y coordinates and the optimal PZT location is validated experimentally. Also, to find the acoustic prediction filter accurately, two accelerometers are located at the positions that have the largest radiation efficiencies of the plate, and the proposed locations are validated by simulation using the Rayleigh integral. The multi-channel filtered-x LMS algorithm is introduced to control a complex 2-D structural vibration mode. Finding the locations of structural transducers for active structural acoustic control of the radiated sound, the active structural acoustic control (ASAC) system can be presented and validated by experiments using a real time control system.

  • This paper deals with the dispersion relation of the waves sustained in a cylindrical shell submerged in the fluid. The waveguide finite method and the boundary element method are used to predict the dispersion characteristic of the cylindrical shell. The dispersion diagram of the cylinder is estimated from the eigenvalue problem and the forced vibration response. It follows that the water-loading leads to the decrease of the cut-on frequencies and the phase speeds of the bending waves. On the contrary, the longitudinal waves and the torsional waves are hardly affected by the fluid, and therefore the order of the cut-on frequencies of the waves is changed. The acoustic dispersion diagram is also estimated from the forced acoustic response to identify the characteristics of the wave radiated to the fluid. It follows that the acoustic waves on and near the surface of the cylinder are the same as those in the structure. But at the far field the acoustic waves caused by subsonic waves e.g., the bending waves disappear as the increase of the distance. Conclusively, the characteristics of waves in cylindrical shells are significantly affected by water-loading in terms of the cut-on frequency, the wave speed, the order of the cut-on and radiation.

  • The influence of metal artifact in CT image depends on the type of metal materialsm, the reconstruction algorithm, and scan parameters. The presence of metal artifacts was quantitatively evaluated by applying the standard and MAR algorithms through the phantom study. In the change of tube voltage applied the standard algorithm, metal artifact decreased to 44.9% for 80 vs 120 kVp, 24% for 100 vs 120 kVp, while the image taken at 140 kVp increased the artifact by 19% compared to 120 kVp. When the tube current was increased from 100 to 300 mA, there was no significant difference in the CT value and noise. Black band and white strike artifacts occurred up to 65.9% in the adjacent ROI of the metal driver, whereas titanium screw produced lesser metal artifact than that of the metal driver. The combination of 120kVp or higher tube voltage-standard algorithm was effective in removing black band artifacts as well as white streak by high density materials. However, MAR reconstruction algorithm was useful in improving image quality under the environment of low kVp and high density materials, without increase of radiation exposure.

  • X-ray systems for medical treatment use noninvasive procedures. Being capable of locally inspecting the inside of the body, X-ray systems are routinely used for basic diagnosis. X-ray systems to be used for medical purposes were originally made with a gas filled tube inside an induction coil in the initial stages of development but with this approach it becomes difficult to take a satisfactory picture through thick body sections, non invasively. However continued development made it possible to take non-invasive pictures of breasts, blood vessels and other body parts through thick body sections. Recently, high-voltage X-ray generators of more compact size, increased generation efficiency, and sophisticated output control have become possible. All of these features are made possible by the use of a high-frequency output from an inverter and a fast switching semiconductor device. In this paper, we describe a new X-ray generator operating with a resonant inverter in order to reduce switching loss and high frequency noise. In addition, in order to identify the differences amongst types of rectification, we have compared output and the quality of X-ray pictures obtained with full-wave rectification and dual-voltage rectification methods.

  • 현재 최신 장비의 두부 CT검사에서 파라메타의 변화와 선량변화에 대한 연구가 부족하고 특히 노이즈, 균일도 해석 및 선량변화에 대한 연구가 부족하다고 생각된다. 따라서 높은 사양 두부 CT 사용 시 노출 파라메타 중 관전압, 슬라이스 두께, 피치변화에 대해 분석하여 이때 발생하는 현상에 대해서 연구하고자 하였다. 실험을 통해서 균일도는 고관전압과 두꺼운 슬라이스 선택 및 최저 피치를 사용할 때 균일도가 좋음을 알 수 있었다. 모두 조합한 결과 균일도가 가장 조건은 140 kVp, 10 mm, pitch 0.5로 나타났다. 노이즈는 관전압과 슬라이스 두께를 높이면 피치에 관계없이 개선되는 것을 알 수 있었고, 선량은 관전압과 피치의 증가에 따라 선형적으로 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구결과는 고 사양의 두부 CT 사용에서 참고자료가 될 것이다.

  • 의료기관은 환자의 만족도 충족과 타 의료기관과의 경쟁력 향상을 위해 신축보다는 기존 병원 건물을 리모델링하게 된다. 의료기관 리모델링은 의료의 질과 환자 안전의 수준 향상을 위해 강화된 법과 제도로 인하여 점차 증가하고 있다. 다만 선행연구들은 의료기관 리모델링에 대해 건축적 요소 등 제한된 범위에서만 논의가 이루어졌다. 이에 본 연구는 의료기관 리모델링의 법적 제문제를 다각적으로 검토함으로써 향후 리모델링을 계획하는 의료기관에게 기본적인 자료를 제공하고자 한다. 의료기관 리모델링은 공사 여건의 제한으로 공사 기간이 길어지고, 환자에게 소음·분진 등의 피해를 발생시킨다. 따라서 사전에 환자의 피해를 예방하고 적정한 의료기관의 리모델링을 지원하는 방안이 필요하다. 이에 의료기관 리모델링 활성화 및 지원에 관한 법률 마련이 필요하다. 그리고 의료기관은 공사기준 자율 준수 체크리스트, 사전 방지조치 및 사후 개선조치, 병원 내 감염과 방사선 노출에 대한 대책을 마련해야 한다.

  • It is suggested that magnetosonic waves (also known as equatorial noise) can scatter radiation belt electrons in the Earth's magnetosphere. Therefore, it is important to understand the global distribution of these waves between the proton cyclotron frequency and the lower hybrid resonance frequency. In this study, we developed an empirical model for estimating the global distribution of magnetosonic wave amplitudes and wave normal angles. The model is based on the entire mission period (approximately 2012-2019) of observations of Van Allen Probes A and B as a function of the distance from the Earth (denoted by L*), magnetic local time (MLT), magnetic latitude (λ), and geomagnetic activity (denoted by the Kp index). In previous studies the wave distribution inside and outside the plasmasphere were separately investigated and modeled. Our model, on the other hand, identifies the wave distribution along with the ambient plasma environment-defined by the ratio of the plasma frequency (fpe) to the electron cyclotron frequency (fce)-without separately determining the wave distribution according to the plasmapause location. The model results show that, as Kp increases, the dayside wave amplitude in the equatorial region intensifies. It thereby propagates the intense region towards the wider MLT and inward to L* < 4. In contrast, the fpe/fce ratio decreases with increasing Kp for all regions. Nevertheless, the decreasing aspect differs between regions above and below L* = 4. This finding implies that the particle energy and pitch angle that magnetosonic waves can effectively scatter vary depending on the locations and geomagnetic activity. Our model agrees with the statistically observed wave distribution and ambient plasma environment with a coefficient of determination of > 0.9. The model is valid in all MLTs, 2 ≤ L* < 6, |λ| < 20°, and Kp ≤ 6.
