STATSGO 데이터베이스는 주단위의 토양 특성을 분석하는 데에 있어 효과적인 자료다. 본 연구에서는 GIS 기법을 이용하여 STATSGO로부터 8개 주요 토양 특성을 추출하였다: 함수력(available water capacity), 점토비율, 토양깊이, 사면경사. 지하수위까지의 깊이, 배수 특성, 토성, 투수도, 평균적인 NDVI로부터의 편차로 정의된 가뭄 정도(drought severity)에 대해 앞서 열거한 토양 특성이 미치는 영향을 캔자스 중서부 지역을 대상으로 분석하였다. 연구 결과에 따르면, 분석된 8개 변수 중 7개가 통계적으로 유의한 상관관계를 가진 것으로 나타났는데, 상관계수는 -0.89에서 0.85에 이르렀다. Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer(MODIS)로부터 취득된 지표복사열(thermal emission) 자료는 평균 NDVI에 대한 편차로 표현되는 가뭄정도와 통계적으로 유의한 상관관계를 가졌으며, 식물생육기간에 걸친 가뭄지역의 공간적 변화를 잘 나타내었다. 토양수분의 결핍양이 많아질수록, 복사열 시그널 값도 높아지며, 공간적 분포로 볼 때. 상대적으로 건조한 캔자스 서부로부터 증가하여 시간에 따라 점차 그 분포도 변화하였다. 연구결과는 또한 가뭄의 진행단계에 따라 가뭄에 대한 각 토양 변수의 영향도 달라짐을 보여주었다.

에틸렌-테트라플르오르에틸렌(ETFE) 공중합체의 비등온 결정화 거동을 DSC와 imaging FTIR을 이용하여 살펴보았다. 변형 비등온 Avrami 분석 결과, DSC에 의한 열분석의 경우 상대적으로 적은 결정화 엔탈피 변화로 인하여 Avrami 식에 의한 ln[-ln(1-X(t))] vs. ln(t) 곡선이 선형을 이루지 못하는 반면, 결정화에 의한 IR 흡수 강도 image의 변화에 의한 분석 방법인 imaging FTIR의 경우보다 선형적인 결과를 얻음에 따라 imaging FTIR이 ETFE 비등온 결정화 연구에 보다 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. 이와 함께 비등온 결정화에 의한 ETFE의 광학특성을 살펴본 결과, 서냉에 의하여 형성된 ETFE 결정의 빛 산란에 의하여 haze가 증가하며 따라서 투명도가 감소함을 알 수 있으며 비등온 결정화에 의하여 최대 8%의 투과도 감소가 일어남을 확인할 수 있었다. 이상의 결과로부터 결정화를 조절하는 냉각속도가 유리 대체 소재로 사용되고 있는 ETFE 필름의 광투과도 조절에 주요한 가공 변수임을 확인할 수 있었다.

Columnar-structured cesium iodide (CsI) scintillators doped with thallium (Tl) are frequently used as x-ray converters in medical and industrial imaging. In this study we investigated the imaging characteristics of CsI:Tl films with various reflective layers-aluminum (Al), chromium (Cr), and titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$) powder-coated on glass substrates. We used two effusion-cell sources in a thermal evaporator system to fabricate CsI:Tl films on substrates. The scintillators were observed via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and scintillation characteristics were evaluated on the basis of the emission spectrum, light output, light response to x-ray dose, modulation transfer function (MTF), and x-ray images. Compared to control films without a reflective layer, CsI:Tl films with reflective layers showed better sensitivity and light collection efficiency, and the film with a $TiO_2$ reflective layer showed the best properties.

Neutron imaging technology as a means of non-destructive detection of materials is complementary to X-ray imaging. Silicon photomultiplier (SiPM), a new type of optical readout device, has overcome some shortcomings of traditional photomultiplier tube (PMT), such as high-power consumption, large volume, high price, uneven gain response, and inability to work in strong magnetic fields. Its application in the field of neutron detection will be an irresistible general trend. In this paper, a thermal neutron imaging detector based on ⁶LiF/ZnS scintillation screen and SiPM array readout was developed. The design of the detector geometry was optimized by geant4 Monte Carlo simulation software. The optimized detector was evaluated with a step wedge sample. The results show that the detector prototype with a 48 mm × 48 mm sensitive area can achieve about 38% detection efficiency and 0.26 mm position resolution when using a 300 ㎛ thick ⁶LiF/ZnS scintillation screen and a 2 mm thick Bk7 optical guide coupled with SiPM array, and has good neutron imaging capability. It provides effective data support for developing high-performance imaging detectors applied to the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS).

We find evidence of a hard X-ray excess above the thermal emission in two cool clusters (Abell 1750 and IC 1262) and a soft excess in two hot clusters (Abell 754 and Abell 2163). Our modeling shows that the excess components in Abell 1750, IC 1262, and Abell 2163 are best fit by a steep power law indicative of a significant non-thermal component. In the case of Abell 754, the excess emission is thermal, 1 ke V emission. We analyze the dynamical state of each cluster and find evidence of an ongoing or recent merger in all four clusters. In the case of Abell 2163, the detected, steep spectrum, non-thermal X-ray emission is shown to be associated with the weak merger shock seen in the temperature map. However, this shock is not able to produce the flatter spectrum radio halo which we attribute to post-shock turbulence. In Abell 1750 and IC 1262, the shocked gas appears to be spatially correlated with non-thermal emission suggesting cosmic-ray acceleration at the shock front.

To perform the finish outside-diameter grinding process of ferrules which are widely used as fiber optic connectors, a high-precision centerless grinding machine is necessary. In this study, the thermal characteristics of the high-precision centerless grinding machine such as the temperature distribution, temperature rise and thermal deformation, are estimated based on the virtual prototype of the grinding machine and the heat generation rates of heat sources related to the machine operation conditions. The reliability of the predicted results is demonstrated by the temperature characteristics measured from the physical prototype. Especially, the predicted and measured results show the fact that the high-precision centerless grinding machine consisted of the hydrostatic GW and RW spindle systems, hydrostatic RW feeding mechanism, RW swivel mechanism, on-machine GW and RW dressers, and concrete-filled steel bed, has very stable thermal characteristics.

Active thermography is being used since several years for remote non-destructive testing. It provides thermal images for remote detection and imaging of damages. Also, it is based on propagation and reflection of thermal waves which are launched from the surface into the inspected component by absorption of modulated radiation. For energy deposition, it use external heat sources (e.g., halogen lamp or convective heating) or internal heat generation (e.g., microwaves, eddy current, or elastic wave). Among the external heat sources, the ultrasound is generally used for energy deposition because of defect selective heating up. The heat source generating a thermal wave is provided by the defect itself due to the attenuation of amplitude modulated ultrasound. A defect causes locally enhanced losses and consequently selective heating up. Therefore amplitude modulation of the injected ultrasonic wave turns a defect into a thermal wave transmitter whose signal is detected at the surface by thermal infrared camera. This way ultrasound thermography(UT) allows for selective defect detection which enhances the probability of defect detection in the presence of complicated intact structures. In this paper the applicability of UT for fast defect detection is described. Examples are presented showing the detection of defects in PCB material. Measurements were performed on various kinds of typical defects in PCB materials (both Cu metal and non-metal epoxy). The obtained thermal image reveals area of defect in row of thick epoxy material and PCB.

Purpose : This study is to see the existence of the meridian and the meridian point through their response to the Young-Su-Bo-Sa. Objective and Methods : For this purpose, with acupuncture stimulation with Young-Su-Bo-Sa on the Hapkok of left hand and an the non-meridian point, and using the Digital infrared thermal image(D.I.T.I), We observed and analyzed the thermal changes of Hapkok, Samgan, non-meridian point(NA), Yonghyang, Soryo, Chonchu, Shingwol. Results and Conclusions : To sum up, We could understand Young-Su-Bo-Sa stimulation through the study findings that the acupuncture stimulation on the meridian point caused significant thermal changes of the associated meridian and meridian point, and Young-Su-Bo stimulation given in the direction of the meridian passage caused increases in the thermal changes of the associated meridian point, while Young-Su-Sa stimulation caused decreases in the thermal changes of the associated meridian point.
