The Lorentz force distribution of a high $T_c$ superconducting tape with increasing transport currents in magnetic field ($H_a$) was visualized. The external magnetic field was applied normally to the coated conductor tape surface after zero-field cooling, and the transport current ($I_a$) was increased stepwise from 0 to 90 % of the values of the critical current ($I_c$ ($H_a$)) at applied filed, Ha. The field distribution (H(x)) near the sample surface across the tape width (2w) was measured using the scanning Hall probe method. Applying an inversion to the measured field distribution, we obtained the underlying current distribution (J(x)), from which the magnetic induction, B(x) was calculated with Biot-Savart law. Then Lorentz force per unit length was calculated using F(x)=J(x)${\times}$B(x), which appears to be very inhomogeneous along the tape width due to the complicated distributions of J(x) and B(x).

이 연구에서는 피동형원자로의 과도현상을 분석하기 위한 KOTRAC 코드의 모델을 수정한 것이다. 이 코드에서 열수력학 모델로 도입하고 있는 mixture drift flux model은 피동형원자로와 같이 비상냉각수가 중력으로 주입되는 경우를 잘 모사할 수 있으나, 만일 가압기 밀림관 또는 수평관에서 상의 완전분리가 일어나게 될 때에는 증기상에서의 거의 영에 가까운 밀도로 인해 상당한 어려움이 존재하는 것이 밝혀졌다. 이 연구에서는 이러한 어려움을 극복하기 위해 일부 모델을 개선하였는데 가장 두드러진 것은 KOTRAC에서 사용하고 있는 flow distribution parameter를 Ishii 상관식으로 대체하여 코드를 수정하고 해석하였다. 이렇게 수정된 코드를 사용한 결과는 과도상태 해석코드인 RELAP5 /MOD3 계산결과와 비교적 잘 일치함을 볼 수 있었다.

The planning accuracy of charged particle therapy (CPT) is subject to the accuracy of stopping power (SP) estimation. In this study, we propose a method of deriving a pseudo-triple-energy CT (pTECT) that can be achievable in the existing dual-energy CT (DECT) systems for better SP estimation. In order to remove the direct effect of errors in CT values, relative CT values according to three scanning voltage settings were used. CT values of each tissue substitute phantom were measured to show the non-linearity of the values thereby suggesting the absolute difference and ratio of CT values as parameters for SP estimation. Electron density, effective atomic number (EAN), mean excitation energy and SP were calculated based on these parameters. Two of conventional methods were implemented and compared to the proposed pTECT method in terms of residuals, absolute error and root-mean-square-error (RMSE). The proposed method outperformed the comparison methods in every evaluation metrics. Especially, the estimation error for EAN and mean excitation using pTECT were converging to zero. In this proof-of-concept study, we showed the feasibility of using three CT values for accurate SP estimation. Our suggested pTECT method indicates potential clinical utility of spectral CT imaging for CPT planning.

Zero-energy construction is being emphasized due to environmental pollution. However, in the case of external insulation using organic insulation with good insulation performance, there are many studies on inorganic insulation as it shows limitations on fire stability. In addition, as the demand for stone for exterior walls increases, Cellular Light -weight Concrete(CLC) with polymer is used to supplement fire stability and insulation performance, and the construction of stone is complemented by combining organic insulation, inorganic insulation, and stone. In this study, the compressive strength and adhesion in tension of CLC are studied. As a result of the experiment, the compressive strength of 28 days according to the polymer addition rate did not change. The adhesion in tension according to the polymer addition rate tends to increase as the addition rate increases. The target adhesion in tension is 0.8 MPa, but the maximum value of the experiment did not reach the target value, and further research was needed to combine to maintain the density and improve the adhesion in tension.

We report a successful fabrication of high-$J_C$ $NdBa_2Cu_3O_{7-{\delta}}$ (NdBCO) films on (100) $SrTiO_3$ substrates by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) in high oxygen pressures ranging from 400 to 800 mTorr. Fabricated NdBCO films exhibited only c-axis orientation, good out-of-plane and in-plane textures, and also excellent superconducting properties, including critical temperature ($T_C$) and critical current density ($J_C$) of above 90 K and the highest of $3.1MA/cm^2$ at 77 K in self-field, implying that NdBCO is a perspective alternative to YBCO for coated conductor. In low oxygen pressures ranging from 100 to 200 mTorr, however, the films showed a-, c-mixed orientation and degraded $T_{C,zero}$ values due to the formation of $Nd_{1+x}Ba_{2-x}Cu_3O_{7-{\delta}}$-type solid solutions with an excessive substitution of $Nd^{3+}$ ions for the $Ba^{2+}$ sites.

National Cancer Screening Project and Korean Society of Breast Imaging recommend that breast cancer screening should be performed on those aged 40 and above. Nevertheless, this recommendation is usually ignored by a number of medical institutions. The purpose of this study is to emphasize the necessity of an age limitation in screening mammography. Ten institutions were randomly selected and telephone inquiries about patients' age limitation and internal guidelines were set up. The 3,214 women, who underwent screening mammography through 'GE Senography 2000D' in each hospital, were classified into five groups according to age(from 20s to 40s, at intervals of 5). And then, collected data was analyzed by a radiologist in accordance with ACR-BIRADS(American College of Radiology Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System), through which breast parenchymal density and the results of analysis were categorized in order to predict the sensitivity of mammography. Information about craniocaudal-view mammograms was automatically produced by use of GE Senography 2000D, and the average glandular dose was retrospectively analyzed through the program 'Excel 2007.' Two institutions did not set the age limitation. Other seven institutions internally allowed those who wanted to receive mammography regardless of age. Approximately 99% of those aged 20 to 29 were judged as having the dense breast. In those aged 35 to 39, breast parenchymal density tended to be lower, but the fatty breast to increase. In the case of 'category-zero' that does not need additional tests, the rate of 'heterogeneously dense' and 'extremely dense' reached to 83.1% and 15.1% respectively. Regarding dense breasts, there was no sufficient information for image reading. The glandular dose, applied to 3,214, was 1.47mGy on the average. In those aged 20 to 24 who are sensitive to radiation, the average glandular dose indicated 1.59mGy. Those aged 35 and above showed the lowest value, 1.43mGy. In those aged 35 to 39, the breast tended to change from denseness to fattiness. The average glandular dose was lowest in those aged 35 and above, which suggests that screening mammography should be periodically performed on those aged 35 and above in order that breast cancer may be early detected. On the other hand, in those aged less than 35, it is difficult to analyze mammograms due to the high density of breast parenchyma, and also retakes become frequent. In particular, subjects may be exposed to excessive doses. Accordingly, it should be substituted by breast self-examination or clinical breast examination. In case of need, it is advisable to perform ultrasonography.

동토지역에서 지반의 역학적인 특징은 기존 토질역학이론과 다르기 때문에 동토지반 내 응력분포와 파괴조건을 묘사하기 위하여 기존 토질역학을 동토에 적용하는 것은 효과적이지 못하거나 적합하지 않다고 할 수 있다. 따라서, 동토지역에서 구조물의 설계 및 시공을 위해서는 동토역학에 관한 기술 자료의 수집 및 분석, 그리고 체계적이고 전문화된 연구가 필수적으로 요구된다. 극한지에서 나타나는 영구동토지역은 계절에 따라 활동층이 동결 융해를 반복하게 되며, 이에 따라 구조물에 영향을 끼치는 하중조건 또한 변화된다. 특히, 동토의 역학적인 성질들은 온도, 함수비, 입도분포, 상대밀도, 하중을 가하는 속도에 따라 민감하게 반응하기 때문에 동토지역 구조물 설계 및 시공에 있어 다양한 조건에 따른 동토의 역학적인 특징들을 신뢰성 있게 분석할 수 있는 방법이 필수적으로 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 동토의 전단강도 특성을 분석하기 위하여 영하 30도에서 작동 가능한 직접전단시험장비와 대형 냉동 챔버를 활용하였으며, 동결온도, 수직응력, 함수비 및 상대밀도를 달리하여 화강풍화토의 전단강도 특성을 분석하였다. 본 연구에 따르면 수직응력, 함수비 및 상대밀도는 동결온도 조건하에서 화강풍화토의 전단강도 특성에 영향을 끼치는 것으로 나타났다.

탄성파 자료의 영상화 과정에서 입력자료인 속도 모델에 불연속면이 있는 경우 반사파에 의해 참반사보정(migration) 결과가 왜곡될 수 있다. 따라서 참반사보정을 위한 속도 모델은 지층 경계면에서 샘 파동장과 수신기 파동장을 구할 때 발생하는 반사파를 제거하기 위해 평활화(smoothing)하여 사용하는 것이 일반적이다. 그러나 속도 모델을 평활화할 경우 지층 경계면에서 속도 정보가 달라져 지하구조 영상이 왜곡될 가능성이 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 단점을 최소화하기 위해 속도가 불연속인 층간의 음향 임피던스를 일정하게 만들어 샘 파동장과 수신기 파동장을 구할 때 발생하는 반사파를 줄이고자 하였다. 음향 임피던스를 일정하게 만들기 위해 속도 차이를 보상하는 가상의 밀도(fake density)를 정의하고 참반사보정에 사용하였다. 음향 임피던스가 모든 층에서 일정할 때, 반사면에서 수직 입사파의 반사계수가 영이 되고 반사파가 최소화되어 참반사보정 결과를 향상시킬 수 있다. 이를 검증하기 위해 셀기반 유한차분법을 이용하여 거꿀시간 참반사보정(reverse-time migration) 알고리듬을 구현하였다. 수치예제를 통해 속도 대비가 큰 지층 경계면에서 참반사보정 영상의 품질이 향상되는 것을 확인할 수 있고, 특히 천부 지층에서 성능 개선효과가 큰 것을 관찰할 수 있다.

Titanium and its alloys are finding increasing use in medical devices and dental implants. The strong selling point of titanium is its resistance to the highly corrosive body fluids in which an implant must survive. This corrosion resistance is due to a tenacious passive oxide or film which exists on the metal's surface and renders it passive. Potentiodynamic polarization measurement is one of the most commonly used electro-chemical methods that have been applied to measure corrosion rates. And the potentiodynamic polarization test supplies detailed information such as open circuit, rupture, and passivation potential. Furthermore, it indicates the passive range and sensitivity to pitting corrosion. This study was designed to compare the corrosion resistance of the commonly used dental implant materials such as CP Ti, Ti-6A1-4V, Co-Cr-Mo alloy, and 316L stainless steel. And the effects of galvanic couples between titanium and the dental alloys were assessed for their useful-ness-as. materials for superstructure. The working electrode is the specimen , the reference electrode is a saturated calomel electrode (SCE), and the counter electrode is made of carbon. In $N_2-saturated$ 0.9% NaCl solutions, the potential scanning was performed starting from -800mV (SCE) and the scan rate was 1 mV/sec. At least three different polarization measurements were carried out for each material on separate specimen. The galvanic corrosion measurements were conducted in the zero-shunt ammeter with an implant supraconstruction surface ratio of 1:1. The contact current density was recorded over a 24-hour period. The results were as follows : 1. In potential-time curve, all specimens became increasingly more noble after immersion in the test solution and reached between -70mV and 50mV (SCE) respectively after 12 hours. 2. The Ti and Ti alloy in the saline solution were most resistant to corrosion. They showed the typical passive behavior which was exhibited over the entire experimental range. Therefore no breakdown potentials were observed. 3. Comparing the rupture potentials, Ti and Ti alloy had the high(:st value (because their break-down potentials were not observed in this study potential range ) followed by Co-Cr-Mo alloy and stainless steel (316L). So , the corrosion resistance of titanium was cecellent, Co-Cr-Mo alloy slightly inferior and stainless steel (316L) much less. 4. The contact current density sinks faster than any other galvanic couple in the case of Ti/gold alloy. 5. Ag-Pd alloy coupled with Ti yielded high current density in the early stage. Furthermore, Ti became anodic. 6. Ti/Ni-Cr alloy showed a relatively high galvanic current and a tendency to increase.
