Breast ductal carcinoma in situ(DCIS) refers to cases in which breast epithelial cells have become malignant but are still limited to normal ducts, and has been increasing rapidly in recent years. In this case, a two-year follow-up revealed findings on mammography and ultrasonography that indicated a small mass classified as BI-RADS Category 3, However far from typical malignant tumor these findings were. In the second year of follow-up, a hypoechoic mass with an indistinct boundary of the right breast in the 6 o'clock direction, on mammography appeared to be about 2.1×1.3 cm in size, and biopsy diagnosed it as ductal carcinoma. Since ductal endothelial cancer has no characteristic clinical findings and can show positive clinical and imaging findings in the early stages, regular follow-up is considered important for early diagnosis, and detection of ductal endothelial cancer through mammography and ultrasound is important for improving the prognosis of all breast cancer patients. During the initial examination conducted four years ago, we reported cases of intra ductal cancer in which asymmetric shading, microcalcification, and branched mass, indicative of intra ductal cancer, were observed during follow-up. It is advisable to concurrently explore methods for reducing X-ray dosage to mitigate potential side effects of contrast medium.

The effect of Co additive on the microstructural evolusion of WC was investigated. A small amount of Co powder was placed on the top-center of the pure WC powder compact and then sintered at 1950$^{\circ}C$. During sintering some abnormally large WC grains of different size and shape observed depending on the distance from the liquid source. However, in the region far away from Co liquid source, it showed low densification and the grains of WC were very small and uniform in size. A small amount of Co liquid phase has a remarkable influence on the AGG of WC and it has been explained in terms of 2-D nucleation and growth mechanism.

The 6 MV photon beam of a linear accelerator (Mevatron 67) was studied for electron contamination. The surface dose, attributable almost entirely to contamination electrons, has a linear dependence on field width for square fields and an inverse square dependence on distance from the bottom of the fixed head assembly. Build-up and surface dose measurements were taken with and without an acrylic blocking tray in place. Further measurements were made with a copper filter designed to reduce secondary electrons emitted by photon interactions with the acrylic tray. The results are discussed in relation to skin sparing effect for radiation therapy patients. To achieve the maximum skin sparing effect, the selection of the optimum SSD and TSD is needed.

The characteristic of air-assist spray injected into subsonic crossflow were studied experimentally. External-mixing air assist injector of Orifice nozzle with L/d of 3 were tested with various air-liquid ratio. Shadowgraph photography was performed for spray visualization and trajectory of spray measurements. The detailed spray structure was characterized in terms of SMD, velocity, and volume flux, using PDPA. Experimental results indicate that penetration length was increased and spray distribution was accelerated by increasing air-liquid ratio.

LNG복합발전은 수요지 인근에 건설이 가능한 장점이 있어 수도권 인근 발전소 중 상당한 부분을 차지하고 있다. 이러한 LNG 복합발전은 수도권 부하비율 감소에 따라 발전량이 줄어들게 된다. 2018년 계통데이터를 기반으로 수도권의 부하수준이 70%까지 떨어졌을 때, 거의 모든 수도권 복합발전이 정지함을 확인할 수 있다. 이 때, 신가평과 강원을 잇는 765kV급 융통선로의 2회선 상정사고 발생 시 수도권 무효전력 공급원이 줄어들어 전압이 불안정해진다. 이와 같은 상정사고를 대비해 수도권 복합발전 중 일부는 제약운전을 시행해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 제약운전을 하는 수도권 LNG복합발전의 발전량을 대체할 수 있는 대안으로 적절한 위치에 FACTS설비를 투입하고자 한다. FACTS설비를 효율적으로 운전시키기 위해 LNG복합발전의 발전량 감소에 따른 전압변화에 대해 Tangent Vector Component가 가장 큰 수도권 345kV 모선을 선정해 STATCOM을 투입하고 그 결과를 확인한다. 이를 확인하기 위한 방안으로 제약운전을 하는 복합발전의 발전량을 감소시키고 관찰하고자 하는 모선과 거리가 먼 비수도권 발전량을 증가시켜 수급을 맞춘 뒤 전압의 변화를 관찰한다. 이 때, 하나의 계통을 2개의 지역으로 구역화하여 전압을 확인할 수 있는 F-V 해석을 이용한다.

스퍼터링 공정은 보통 수백 eV로 가속된 이온에 의한 고체 타겟으로부터 입자의 방출로서 정의할 수 있다. 스퍼터된 입자는 열에너지보다 운동에너지가 크며 박막성장은 저에너지의 입자충격, 불활성 가스이온, 타겟부터 산란된 입자에 의하여 지배된다. 본 연구는 직경 2인치의 원형 Cr 타겟을 셔터를 닫고 예비 스퍼터링 할 때 셔터(SUS 304 0.1t)가 전자기력을 받아서 기계적으로 진동하는 현상을 규명하고자 하였다. 셔터의 하단부를 챔버의 중심축에 고정시켜서 타겟과 평행하도록 수 cm 떨어뜨려서 위치한 뒤 직류 마그네트론 플라즈마를 발생시켰을 때 DC power에 따라서 각각 움직임을 동영상촬영을 진행하였고, 셔터의 중심을 실로 매달아서 자유롭게 움직일 수 있도록 한 뒤 플라즈마가 발생했을 때 기계적인 움직임을 중점적으로 관찰했다. 움직임의 차이를 비교하기 위해서 셔터의 크기를 줄여가며 일정한 DC power에서 실험을 진행했고, 자세한 관찰을 위해서 초고속카메라(210 fps)로 짧은 순간의 변화를 비교했다. 실험조건은 5, 10 mTorr, DC power 30, 40, 50, 70, 100 W, Ar 30 sccm, 셔터의 크기 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 mm로 실시했다. 압력이 낮아질수록, 셔터의 크기가 작을수록, DC power가 커질수록 움직임변화가 커졌고, 진동수가 빨라지는 것을 확인했다. F=qE=ma를 통해서 실험에서 촬영한 동영상을 근거로 거리측정을 통해 실험에서 얼마의 전기장이 인가되어 있는지 예측하였다.

그래핀(graphene)의 가장자리(edge)는 결정구조의 배향성에 따라 지그재그(zigzag)와 안락의자(armchair) 형태로 구분되는데, 나노미터 크기의 그래핀의 전자적 성질은 이러한 가장자리의 배향성에 의해 크게 영향을 받는다고 알려져 있다. 단일층 그래핀 가장자리 사이에서 일어나는 산화실리콘($SiO_2$)의 carbothermal reduction은 선택적으로 지그재그 형태의 가장자리를 생성한다고 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 라만 분광법과 원자 현미경(atomic force microscopy)을 이용하여 기계적 박리법으로 만들어진 이중층 그래핀에서 일어나는 carbothermal reaction을 연구하였다. 고온 산화 방법으로 이중층 그래핀에 원형 식각공(etch pit)을 만들고 Ar 기체 속에서 700도 열처리를 진행한 후, 원형 식각공이 육각형으로 확장된 것을 관찰하였다. 이것은 이중층 그래핀도 산화실리콘의 carbothermal reduction을 유발한다는 사실을 보여준다. 그러나 이중층 그래핀의 반응속도는 단일층보다 5배 정도 느린 것이 확인되었는데, 이는 이중층 그래핀의 탄소원자와 산화제로 작용하는 산화실리콘 간의 평균 거리가 단일층보다 더 크다는 사실로 설명할 수 있다. 또한 단일층과 이중층 그래핀 모두 1 기압 Ar 분위기에서보다 진공상태에서 반응속도가 현저히 작다는 사실이 관찰되었다. 진공도와 온도에 따른 반응속도로부터 반응 메커니즘 및 활성화 에너지에 대해 고찰하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study is to explore how to use location data for peer relations of infants in free-choice play activities. For this study, location data was collected using wearable devices for 14 students in one class at an early childhood education institution in Chungnam. For the pre-processing of the collected location data, a smoothing technique was applied to recover missing values during the collection process, and the data was visualized using Python's Matplotlib. Subsequently, the movement distance, distance between infants, and interaction types of infants were extracted from the location data using the formula. As a result of the study, it was possible to derive 1) change in moving distance, cumulative value, average value, 2) change in distance and average distance value between infants, and 3) change and trend in interaction type according to the passage of time. These results can provide valuable information on the process of forming peer groups for infants in situations where it is difficult for a teacher to closely observe all members, and can be used as meaningful information for the design and operation of educational programs.

This paper proposes a method to improve the detectable distance by reducing noise to perform a signal processing technique on the received signals. To increase the radar detection range, the noise component of the received signal has to be reduced. The proposed method reduces the noise component by employing two methods. First, the radar signals received with multiple pulses are accumulated. As the number of additions increases, the noise component gradually decreases due to noise randomness. On the other hand, the signal term gradually increases and thus signal to noise ratio increases. Secondly, after converting the accumulated signal into the frequency spectrum, a Least Mean Square (LMS) filter is applied. In the case of the radar received signal, desired signal exists in a specific part and most of the rest is a noise. Therefore, if the LMS filter is applied in the time domain, the noise increases. To prevent this, the LMS filter is applied after converting the received signal into the entire frequency spectrum. The LMS filter output is then transformed into the time domain and then range estimation algorithm is performed. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme reduces the noise component by about 25 dB. The experiment was conducted by comparing the proposed results with the conventional results of the radars held by the Korea Aerospace Research Institute for the international space station.
