3D medical image reconstruction techniques are useful to figure out complex 3D structure from the set of 2D sections but their implementations are difficult due to processor's limitation and their computational complexity. In this paper, we propose a new speed optimization technique or accelerating the volume rendering algorithm. In addition, the whole procedure or reconstructing the medical images are constructed by using Visual C++ 5.0 under PC environment. They include classification, shading and ray-casting.

A novel image quality evaluation method, which is based on combination of the rigorous grating diffraction theory and the ray-optic method, is proposed. It is applied for design optimization and, tolerance analysis of optical imaging systems implementing diffractive optical elements (DOE). The evaluation method can predict the quality and resolution of the image on the image sensor plane through the optical imaging system. Especially, we can simulate the effect of diffraction efficiencies of DOE in the camera lenses module, which is very effective for predicting different color sense and MTF performance. Using this method, we can effectively determine the fabrication tolerances of diffractive and refractive optical elements such as the variations' in profile thickness, and the shoulder of the DOE, as well as conventional parameters such as decenter and tilt in optical-surface alignments. A DOE-based 2M-resolution camera lens module designed by the optimization process based on the proposed image quality evaluation method shows ${\sim}15%$ MTF improvement compared with a design without such an optimization.

Gradually engineering designers are determined based on computer simulations. Modeling of the computer simulation however is too expensive and time consuming in a complicate system. Thus, designers often use approximation models called metamodels, which represent approximately the relations between design and response variables. There arc general metamodels such as response surface model and kriging metamodel. Response surface model is easy to obtain and provides explicit function. but it is not suitable for highly nonlinear and large scaled problems. For complicate case, we may use kriging model that employs an interpolation scheme developed in the fields of spatial statistics and geostatistics. This class of into interpolating model has flexibility to model response data with multiple local extreme. In this study. metamodeling techniques are adopted to carry out the shape optimization of a funnel of Cathode Ray Tube. which finds the shape minimizing the local maximum principal stress Optimum designs using two metamodels are compared and proper metamodel is recommended based on this research.

Solid waste management (SWM) is one of the poorly rendered services in developing countries - limited resources, increasing population, rapid urbanization and application of outdated systems leads to inefficiency. Lack of proper planning and inadequate data regarding solid waste generation and collection compound the SWM problem. Decision makers need to formulate solutions that consider multiple goals and strategies. Given the large number of available options for SWM and the inter-relationships among these options, identifying SWM strategies that satisfy economic or environmental objectives is a complex task. The paper develops a mathematical model for a municipal Integrated SWM system, taking into account waste generation rates, composition, transportation modes, processing techniques, revenues from waste processing, simulating waste management as closely as possible. The constraints include those linking waste flows and mass balance, processing plants capacity, landfill capacity, transport vehicle capacity and number of trips. The linear programming model integrating different functional elements was solved by LINGO optimization software and various possible waste management options were considered during analysis. The model thus serves as decision support tool to evaluate various waste management alternatives and obtain the least-cost combination of technologies for handling, treatment and disposal of solid waste.

The ¹⁸⁰W is the lightest isotope of Tungsten with small abundance ratio. It is slightly radioactive (α decay), with an extremely long half-life. Its separation is possible by non-conventional single withdrawal cascades. The ¹⁸⁰W is used in radioisotopes production and study of metals through gamma-ray spectroscopy. In this paper, single withdrawal cascade model is developed to evaluate multicomponent separation in non-conventional transient cascades, and available experimental results are used for validation. Numerical studies for separation of ¹⁸⁰W in a transient single withdrawal cascade are performed. Parameters affecting the separation and equilibrium time of cascade such as number of stages, cascade arrangements, feed location and flow rate for a fixed number of gas centrifuges (GC) are investigated. The Salp Swarm Algorithm (SSA) as a bio-inspired optimization algorithm is applied as a novel method to minimize the feed consumption to obtain desired concentration in the collection tank. Examining different cascade arrangements, it is observed in arrangements with more stages, the separation is further efficient. Based on the obtained results, with increasing feed flow rate, for fixed product concentration, the cascade equilibrium time decreases. Also, it is shown while the feed location is the farthest stage from the collection tank, the separation and cascade equilibrium time are well-organized. Finally, using SSA optimal parameters of the cascade is calculated, and optimal arrangement to produce 5 gr of ¹⁸⁰W with 90% concentration in the tank, is proposed.

The shape and location of the cutoff shield in a projection-type headlight system were optimized by a ray-tracing technique. A shield based on a Petsval surface showed better cutoff characteristics than a flat or cylindrical shield, such as a sharp intensity gradient and less color separation at the cutoff line. Adjustment of the shield’s location between the reflector and the aspheric lens further improved its cutoff characteristics.

The emitting structure of multi-channel-type flat fluorescent lamps (FFLs) combined by a lenticular-lens-patterned diffuser plate was optimized by the ray tracing technique. The optimal parameters such as the distance between the channels of the FFL and the distance between the FFL and the diffuser plate were suggested from the viewpoint of the luminance uniformity. The best luminance uniformity, which was higher than 90%, was obtained at the channel distance of 4 mm and the distance of 12.5 mm between the FFL and the patterned diffuser plate.

방사선 영상 디텍터는 x선 광자로부터 생성된 전하를 수집하여 다수의 전하증폭기 회로를 사용하여 전압 신호로 바꾼 뒤 이를 디지털 신호로 바꾸어 디지털 영상을 생성한다. 이때 다수로 사용한 회로의 불균일한 특성으로 인하여 이득의 불균일이라는 고정형태잡음이 발생한다. 이를 제거하기 위하여 이득지도를 사용하는 이득 보정 알고리듬이 일반적으로 사용되는데, 이득지도 설계 시에 광자 잡음이 이득지도에 남게 되고 이 잡음은 이득 보정된 영상을 오염시킨다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 남아있는 잡음을 필터를 사용하여 제거하는 실험을 하였으며, 효율적으로 잡음을 제거하기위한 필터를 최적화하는 알고리듬을 제안하였다. 실제 디텍터로 획득한 영상에 대하여 실험을 수행하여, 단순한 필터로 제거하기 힘든, 고정형태잡음의 크기가 상대적으로 큰 경우에도, 필터 최적화 알고리듬을 사용하여 효율적으로 잡음 제거에 대한 성능을 개선시킬 수 있음을 보였다.
