On the basis of design theory of soil inversion, two types of moldboard plow with secondary soil mover was designed and constructed to invert furrow slice at same position with furrow bottom. A series of soil bin experiment was carried to investigate the performance of prototypes. First prototype of new concept plow showed two kinds of problems during the preliminary experiment. For the plowing depth of 6cut the prototype did not invert the furrow slice, instead it just cut furrow bottom and the furrow slice returned to the original position. For the plowing depth of 8cm, there was soil clogging problem at the rear part of plow. From the above results it was concluded that the first prototype can not be used for the inversion of furrow slice at same position with furrow bottom. Second prototype could invert furrow slice at the same position with furrow bottom, but the performance was affected by soil moisture content soil hardness and plowing speed very much. For the higher soil moisture content, for the higher soil hardness and higher plowing speed, the prototype showed higher soil inversion performance. For the second prototype the inversion ratio was almost 100%, inversion angle was in the range of 90 to 100 degree and side displacement was less than 4 cm. But the furrow slice was not continuous, it was cut in the length of 30 to 40 cm. The reason why the furrow slice was cut in that length is blamed for the design of moldboard surface. The specific draft of prototype was in the range of 37.24 kN/㎡ to 42.14 kN/㎡ this value is a little higher than that of the conventional plow, or from 30.38 kN/㎡ to 33.32 kN/㎡. But the difference was not so big. The inversion performance of the second prototype for the field experiment was much better than that of soil bin experiment due to the better soil and operational conditions. Sticky and compacted soil conditions, and higher plowing speed was suitable for the plowing operation of the second prototype

Two-dimensional tensile stresses are occurring at the back of the anchorage of the tendons of prestressed concrete bridges. A new method named "tensile stress region" for the design of the reinforcement is presented in this paper. The basic idea of this approach is the division of an anchor block into several slices, which are described by the tensile stress region. The orthogonal reinforcing wire mesh can be designed in each slice to resist the tensile stresses. Additionally the sum of the depth of every slice defined by the tensile stress region is used to control the required length of the longitudinal reinforcement bars. An example for the reinforcement design of an anchorage block of an external prestressed concrete bridge is analyzed by means of the new presented method and a finite element model is established to compare the results. Furthermore the influence of the transverse and vertical prestressing on the ordinary reinforcement design is taken into account. The results show that the amount of reinforcement bars at the anchorage block is influenced by the layout of the transverse and the vertical prestressing tendons. Using the "tensile stress region" method, the ordinary reinforcement bars can be designed more precisely compared to the design codes, and arranged according to the stress state in every slice.

There are several methods to record three dimensional (3D) information of objects such as lens array based integral imaging, synthetic aperture integral imaging (SAII), computer synthesized integral imaging (CSII), axially distributed image sensing (ADS), and axially distributed stereo image sensing (ADSS). ADSS method is capable of recording partially occluded 3D objects and reconstructing high-resolution slice plane images. In this paper, we present a computational method for depth extraction of partially occluded 3D objects using ADSS. In the proposed method, the high resolution elemental stereo image pairs are recorded by simply moving the stereo camera along the optical axis and the recorded elemental image pairs are used to reconstruct 3D slice images using the computational reconstruction algorithm. To extract depth information of partially occluded 3D object, we utilize the edge enhancement and simple block matching algorithm between two reconstructed slice image pair. To demonstrate the proposed method, we carry out the preliminary experiments and the results are presented.

그동안 신라의 왕성이었던 월성에 대한 연구는 월성을 중심으로 한 도성제와 월성해자 발굴을 통한 월성 주변의 모습에 치중해 있었다. 그러나 2004년에 월성 지표조사보고서가 발간되고 시험적 성격으로서 GPR탐사가 월성 내에서 실시되면서 월성에 대한 학술적 관심은 성내부로 변화되었다. 다행히 경주 월성의 고고학적 기초학술 조사가 시작되고 사업의 일환으로 월성 전 지역에 대한 물리탐사를 2007년 3월부터 1년에 걸쳐 실시하게 되었다. 이번 조사의 기본 목적은 GPR탐사를 실시하여 시험탐사에서 확인된 매장유구를 월성 전체 지역에 대하여 영상화하는 것이다. 미리 설정한 격자망에 수많은 측선을 조밀하게 설치하여 3차원 GPR 탐사를 실시하였으며 총 조사면적은 $112,535m^2$이다. 분석은 Depth Slice를 실시하여 각 깊이별로 유구의 변화양상과 중복상황을 파악할 수 있도록 하였으며, Slice Overlay 분석법을 이용하여 각 깊이별 반사체를 하나의 도면으로 추출하였다. 또한 3차원 입체분석법인 Isolated Surface 영상화를 실시하여 유구 해석의 이해를 높였다. 그 결과 월성 내에서 총 14개의 구역으로 구분 지을 수 있는 크고 작은 건물지가 확인되었으며, 주목되는 곳은 월성의 서부(2구역), 중부(9구역), 동부(14구역)에 중요시설물일 것으로 짐작게 하는 대규모의 범상한 건물배치가 있는 3개의 구역이다. 본 연구결과를 통해서 3차원 GPR탐사는 광역적인 유적탐사에 매우 효과적이며 그 자료처리에 있어서 Slice Overlay 분석법은 지하 매장물에 대한 쉽고 뚜렷한 영상을 제공할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Objectives : Indirect moxibustion is one of the thermotherapy in Korean medicine and buffer of ginger and mankshood slice are common materials to be used. However it is difficult to control the power of thermal stimulation and the stimulation is greatly influenced by the characteristic of buffer. So we research on the buffer characteristic of indirect moxibustion according to the thickness, diameter and water content changes. Methods : We used thermocouples to measure temperature from surface to depth of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14mm on tissue model and calculated peak temperature($^{\circ}C$). The data were analyzed with student t-test and one-way ANOVA(p<0.05). Results : 1. The peak temperature of indirect moxibustion with ginger were determined by thickness of ginger slice and temperature changes according to the thickness at intervals of 1mm but according to the diameter at intervals of 4mm. 2. The peak temperature of indirect moxibustion with mankshood were determined by thickness of mankshood slice also. The peak temperature of mankshood moxibustion was higher than that of ginger moxibustion. 3. In this study, 2mm-thick-ginger slice and 3mm-thick-mankshood slice were suitable for indirect moxibustion. Variation in the thickness of which is more efficient to control the power of thermal stimulation on indirect moxibustion. 4. The more water loss we got on ginger slice, the higher peak temperature we measured at the surface of moxibustion. But the thermal stimulation was not conducted more than 2mm in the depth. 5. The thickness and water content of buffer are important in indirect moxibustion. Conclusions : The temperature of indirect moxibustion depends on the thickness of buffer than the diameter of it. Therefore, it is more efficient according to the thickness of buffer so that we control the power of thermal stimulation. And water content of buffer is one of the important factor in indirect moxibustion.

Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (ATES) can be a cost-effective and renewable geothermal energy source, depending on site-specific and thermohydraulic conditions. To design an effective ATES system having influenced by groundwater movement, understanding of thermo hydraulic processes is necessary. The heat transfer phenomena for an aquifer heat storage are simulated using FEFLOW with the scenario of heat pump operation with pumping and waste water reinjection in a two layered confined aquifer model. Temperature distribution of the aquifer model is generated, and hydraulic heads and temperature variations are monitored at the both wells during 365 days. The average groundwater velocities are determined with two hydraulic gradient sets according to boundary conditions, and the effect of groundwater flow are shown at the generated thermal distributions of three different depth slices. The generated temperature contour lines at the hydraulic gradient of 0.00 1 are shaped circular, and the center is moved less than 5m to the groundwater flow direction in 365 days simulation period. However at the hydraulic gradient of 0.01, the contour center of the temperature are moved to the end of boundary at each slice and the largest movement is at bottom slice. By the analysis of thermal interference data between two wells the efficiency of the heat pump system model is validated, and the variation of heads is monitored at injection, pumping and no operation mode.

몬테카를로 방식은 지금까지 인체 내 흡수선량을 계산하는 가장 정확한 방법으로 알려져 왔고. 이러한 계산 방법을 이용하기 위한 인체 내부의 장기 묘사는 인체 모형 팬텀이 주로 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 최근 Geant4 코드를 사용한 몬테카를로 계산에서는 CT의 DICOM 파일에서 인체의 여러 장기에 대한 자료를 직접 추출하고 시뮬레이션에 필요한 geometry로 변환하여 사용하려는 다양한 노력이 시도되고 있다. 이와 같은 기능은 실제 인체의 해부학적 구조를 그대로 재현하면서 인체 내부의 흡수선량을 정확히 계산 할 수 있도록 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 DICOM 파일을 연동한 Geant4을 이용하여 인체 내 흡수선량을 계산하였고, 이를 Gafchromic EBT2 필름을 이용한 측정 선량과 비교함으로써 그 유용성을 확인하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 계산한 선량과 EBT2 필름을 이용한 선속 중심축에서의 측정선량을 비교한 결과 피부표면에서부터 최대선량 깊이까지 선량이 급격하게 변화하는 build up 영역을 제외하고는 오차(difference) 범위가 평균 3.75% 임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 선량의 계산 값을 각 CT slice 별로 출력되도록 하였고, 또 각 slice에서도 복셀 하나하나의 선량 값이 출력되도록 하여 측정하고자 하는 장기별, 기관별 흡수선량을 쉽게 확인 할 수 있도록 하였다. 이처럼 인체 모형 팬텀이 아닌 실제 인체의 image data인 CT DICOM 파일을 이용한 선량계산을 각 slice, voxel 별로 선량 값을 출력하는 방식은 다양한 부위의 정확한 선량계산을 가능하게 하므로 향후 방사선 치료계획 시스템의 선량 계산에 유용할 것이라 생각한다. 또한 현재 사용 중인 여러 에너지 영역에도 적용이 가능하므로 인체 내 방사선의 흡수선량 확인을 위해 유용하게 활용되어질 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Direct volume rendering (DVR) is an important 3D visualization method for medical images as it depicts the full volumetric data. However, because DVR renders the whole volume, regions of interests (ROIs) such as a tumor that are embedded within the volume maybe occluded from view. Thus, conventional 2D cross-sectional views are still widely used, while the advantages of the DVR are often neglected. In this study, we propose a new visualization algorithm where we augment the 2D slice of interest (SOI) from an image volume with volumetric information derived from the DVR of the same volume. Our occlusion-based DVR augmentation for SOI (ODAS) uses the occlusion information derived from the voxels in front of the SOI to calculate a depth parameter that controls the amount of DVR visibility which is used to provide 3D spatial cues while not impairing the visibility of the SOI. We outline the capabilities of our ODAS and through a variety of computer tomography (CT) medical image examples, compare it to a conventional fusion of the SOI and the clipped DVR.
