It is known that fixed source to skin distance (SSD) cannot be used when the treatment field is sloped or larger than the size of second collimator in electron beam irradiation and inverse square law using effective ssd should be adopted. Effective SSDs were measured in different field sizes in each 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18MeV electron energy by suing NELAC 1018D linear accelerator of Kosin Medical Center. We found important parmeters of effective SSD. 1. Minimum effective SSD was 58.8cm in small field size of $6\pm6cm$ and maximum effective SSD was 94.9cm in large field size of $25\pm25cm$, with 6MeV energy. It's difference was 36.1cm. The dose rate at measuring point was quite different even with a small difference of SSD in small field $(6\times6cm)$ and low energy (6 MeV). 2. Effective SSD increased with field size in same electron energy. 3. Effective SSDs gradually increased with the electron energies and reached maximum at 12 or 15 MeV electron energy and decreased again at 18MeV electron energy in each identical field size. And so the effective SSD should be measured in each energy and field size for practical radiotherapy.

Field robots are used in various fields, such as agriculture, forestry, manufacturing, and construction; their use has recently expanded to include submarine areas. Field robots can aid in various tasks, such as soil transport, ground clearance, and dismantling of buildings. As field robots are used in a variety of different areas, the difficulty of the work is also quite varied. Increased difficulty is associated with an increased risk of accidents involving the field robot. In order to reduce the accident rate of field robot workers, the need for digitalization and automation of field robots is becoming more of an issue. To this end, it is necessary to study a system that enables workers to do their work without directly contacting a field robot. Therefore, in this paper, we introduce a control system for wireless remote control of a small field robot. The field robot can be wirelessly controlled by a worker in a remote location if the worker cannot be present at the work site. The implemented remote system is tested according to the type of work, and the operating characteristics of the remote system are assessed.

This study is aimed to construct a marine small hydro power plant using discharge water of fish farm in Jeju Haengwon-ri. The difference of design methods between marine small hydro power plant and land small hydro power plant is to consider the tides. Moreover, ground condition should be examined because gushout sea water comes out from the ground at high tide in Jeju as the ground of Jeju beach consists of basalt stone. From the field test of the turbine generator after construction of the power plant, output power and efficiency of the turbine generator shows good conformance to the required conditions.

Background: We investigated the impact of 0.35 T magnetic field on dose calculation for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) in the ViewRay system (ViewRay Inc.), which features a simultaneous use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to guide radiotherapy for an improved targeting of tumors. Materials and Methods: Here, we present a comprehensive analysis of the effects induced by the 0.35 T magnetic field on various characteristics of SABR plans including the plan qualities and dose calculation for the planning target volume, organs at risk, and outer/inner shells. Therefore, two SABR plans were set up, one with a 0.35 T magnetic field applied during radiotherapy and another in the absence of the field. The dosimetric parameters were calculated in both cases, and the plan quality indices were evaluated using a Monte Carlo algorithm based on a treatment planning system. Results and Discussion: Our findings showed no significant impact on dose calculation under the 0.35 T magnetic field for all analyzed parameters. Nonetheless, a significant enhancement in the dose was calculated on the skin surrounding the tumor when the 0.35 T magnetic field was applied during the radiotherapy. This was attributed to the electron return effect, which results from the deviation of the electrons ejected from tissues upon radiation due to Lorentz forces. These returned electrons re-enter the tissues, causing a local dose increase in the calculated dose. Conclusion: The present study highlights the impact of the 0.35 T magnetic field used for MRI in the ViewRay system for NSCLC SABR treatment, especially on the skin surrounding the tumors.

Isoindigo based small molecules have attracted much attention in the field of optoelectronic devices due to their broad absorbance and high charge carrier mobilitiies. Herein, we investigate the field effect transistor characteristics of a series of isoindigo based donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) small molecules containing a variable number of thiophene moieties (named IDT, ID2T, and ID3T) which form pi-bridges between the D and A moieites and a different donor moiety (IDED). In order to improve the carrier mobility, 1-chloronaphthalene (CN) and 1,8-diiodooctane (DIO) as solvent additives were used. The film morphology, crystallinity and optical properties of the materials processed with various concentrations of solvent additives were investigated through atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy.

소조사면의 선량검증은 고선량을 1회에 치료하는 정위적방사선수술(Stereotactic radiosurgery, SRS)과 고선량을 소분할 하여 치료하는 소분할방사선치료(hypo-fractionated radiotherapy)에서 작은 크기의 종양을 치료하기 위해서 자주 사용되기 때문에 현대의 방사선치료에서 있어서 매우 중요하다. 그러나, $3cm^2$ 이하의 소조사면에 대한 선량검증은 방사선치료에서 있어서 대단한 도전이다. 소조사면의 선량검증은 (a) 측방전자균형(lateral electronic equilibrium)의 부족, (b) 급격한 선량 기울기(steep dose gradient), (c) 선원의 부분적 차폐 때문에 어렵다. 이 연구의 목적은 6 MV 광자선의 $3cm^2$ 이하의 소조사면에서 출력비율을 다양한 검출기로 측정하고 검증하는 것이다. 출력비율은 CC13 이온함, CC01 이온함, EDGE 검출기, 열발광선량계(thermoluminescence dosimeters, TLD), Gafchromic EBT2 필름을 이용하여 $0.5{\times}0.5cm^2$, $1{\times}1cm^2$, $2{\times}2cm^2$, $3{\times}3cm^2$, $5{\times}5cm^2$, $10{\times}10cm^2$의 다양한 조사면에서 측정하였다. 출력비율의 차이는 조사면의 크기가 작아질수록 검출기간의 차이는 증가하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 $3cm^2$ 이하의 소조사면의 선량측정은 CC01 이온함, EDGE 검출기와 같은 작은 크기의 방사부부피(active volume)를 가지는 검출기를 사용해야 한다는 것을 입증하였다. 또한, $3cm^2$ 이하의 소조사면에서 EDGE 검출기의 출력비율은 Gafchromic EBT2 필름의 결과와 잘 일치하였다.

For the reasonable analysis of design problems for agricultural facilities, considered the reinforcing effect of thin-wall. The most of agricultural structure is constructed small scale and have many purposes. Thus it has been designed temporary rather than permanent structure, and has relatively large slenderness ratio, small section and semi-rigid condition. Therefore many agricultural facilities are consist of relatively strong frame with weak wall at the viewpoint of stiffness and have not been reflected in the design. But the tension field influences to collapse of structure have already known. Therefore, we need quantification the effect of tension field at structural analysis. In this study, present the method of quantification the effect of tension field that came out thin-plate surrounded by high stiffness frame. The numerical results show that the effect of tension field effect for thin-wall is about 5% of the sectional area of frame in study agricultural facilities.

This paper shows the use of wavelet transformation combined with inverse acoustics to reconstruct the surface velocity of a noise source. This approach uses the boundary element analysis based on the measured sound pressure at a set of field points, the Helmholtz integral equations and wavelet transformation for reconstructing the normal surface velocity field. The reconstructed field can be diverged due to the small measurement errors in the case of nearfield acoustic holography (NAH) using an inverse boundary element method. In order to avoid this instability in the inverse problem, the reconstruction process should include some form of regularization for enhancing the resolution of source images. The usual method of regularization has been the truncation of wave vectors associated with small singular values, although the order of an optimal truncation is difficult to determine. In this paper, a wavelet transformation is applied to reduce the computation time for inverse acoustics and to enhance the reconstructed vibration field. The computational speed-up is achieved, with solution time being reduced to $14.5\%$.

1 mG부터 5 G까지 발생시킬 수 있는 소동물 실험율 60Hz 자계 발생장치를 설계하고 제작하였다. 동시에 많은 동물을 시험하기 위해서는 발생장치 내의 균일한 자계 분포 영역이 넓어야 하는데, 본 고에서는 SD-계쥐 약 50마리를 수용할수 있도록 하기 위해 소동물의 거주 공간을 장치 내부 1$\times$1$\times$1m3 크기로 하고 전체 발생장치의 크기는 1.8$\times$1.8$\times$1.8m3 입방형으로 설정하였다. 장치 내부의 자계 균일도를 검증하기 위해서 3차원 자계 계산 프로그램을 개발하였고, 이를 이용하여 거주 공간의 자계 분포가 가장 균일하게 되는 내.외곽코일의 최적 전류비 및 위치를 결정하였다. 또한 수치계산을 통한 임피던스에 근거하여 전원장치를 제작하였다. 제작된 자계 발생장치는 측정을 통하여 동물 거주 공간의 자계 최대치와 최소치의 차이가 3% 이내임을 확인할수 있었고 정밀한 소동물 자계 노출 시험용으로 사용 가능한 것으로 판단되었다.
