Orthodontic seamless bands are frequently used in pediatric dentistry. In the process of seating bands with luting cement coated inside, not uniformed coating might bring about various problems such as enamel decalcification and/or gingivitis, and this clinical trial was made to review several band-seating methods to exclude these risks. One kind of band luting cement and one size of seamless bands were used on the resin replicas of an extracted maxillary and mandibular 1st molar with three different seating methods 1. seating the band with the luting cement coated only inside the band, 2. seating the band with the luting cement coated inside the band and on axial surfaces of the teeth, 3. seating the band with the adhesive tape on the occlusal opening of the band and the luting cement coated only inside the band. After cement was completely set, bands were peeled off from the teeth and the status of cement coating was evaluated. With this experiment more uniformed coating of the luting cement was found in latter two groups. These methods are thought more appropriate to almost completely rule out the risk of unevenly coated cement beneath the bands by conventional method.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate clinical and microbiological changes in periodontal tissue around the banded molars after debanding. Methods: This study included 17 young adult patients treated with fixed orthodontic appliances including bands on the last molars more than 1 years. Probing depth and bleeding frequency were measured and plaque samples were collected from the last banded molars in all quadrants of each patient. All the data were collected immediately after debanding and 4 weeks after debanding. Results: Using polymerase chain reaction based on 16S rDNA, the presence of Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia and Treponema denticola was detected. After debanding, probing depth, bleeding frequency, and prevalance of periodontopathogens were reduced. Probing depth and bleeding frequency were most decreased in the buccal site of the mandibular left molar and were least decreased in the lingual site of the maxillary right molar. Conclusion: The results of this study indicated that proper management of oral hygiene after debanding can recuperate unfavorable periodontal condition caused by orthodontic treatment.

In this study, the pulse of radial artery and oxygen saturation are detected using photoelectric plethysmograph method. Using our device designed reflection type, we can detect the reflected light by radial artery and by switching circuit, we can also separate to 625nm band signal and 940nm band signals. The separated signals are converted as a pulse data by the pulse signal processing circuit. In this study, the reflection type of oxygen saturation calculation method is applied instead of the transmission type because of the reflection type sensor is used to measure the radial artery. As a result, we can detect about 97% accuracy of the oxygen saturation compare with the conventional method. For the accurate signals, the wrist band with sensor was designed and fixed on the radial artery. As a result, this wrist band type sensor was applicable to prevent position errors from motion artifact and could increase the accuracy during the measuring.

The energy band and the G-factor method were compared to determine the exposure rate from the measured spectrum using a NaI(Tl) scintillation detector. First, G-factors of a 3"${\Phi}X3$" NaI(Tl) detector mounted to a EFRD 3300, which means the environmental radiation monitor, in Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) were calculated for several directions of incident photons through the MCNP modeling, and the optimum G-factor applicable to that monitor was then determined by comparing the results both the energy band method and the G-factor method. The results for these spectrometric determinations were also compared with the dose rate from a HPIC radiation monitor around a EFRD 3300. The measured value at the EFRD 3300 based on a 3"${\Phi}X3$" NaI(Tl) detector was $7.7{\mu}R/h$ and its difference was shown about $3{\mu}R/h$, when compared with the results from a HPIC radiation moditor. Since a HPIC is known to be able to measure cosmic rays with the relatively high energy, the difference between them was caused by cosmic rays which were not detected in a 3"${\Phi}X3$" NaI(Tl) detector.

태양으로부터 3Rs보다 높은 코로나 밝기의 대부분은 먼지에 의해 산란된 F코로나로부터 나온다. F코로나와 자유전자의 톰슨산란에 의한 K코로나를 분리하는 효과적인 방법은 편광을 이용하는 것으로 알려져 있고 현재 NASA와 천문연간 협력개발 중인 K코로나 관측 기기 COronal Diagnostic EXperiment(CODEX)도 편광을 이용한 분류를 기본으로 자유전자의 온도와 속도를 측정한다. 문제는 F코로나도 약간의 편광도를 가져서 K코로나와 구별이 불가능해지는데다 F코로나의 편광량은 먼지입자의 구성물질, 모양, 산란 위치 등에 따라 달라서 거의 예측이 불가능하고 지금까지 제대로 알려진 바도, 연구된 바도 없다. 우리는 CODEX에서 F코로나 편광량을 산출하기 위해 한 개의 협대역 필터(Narrow Bandpass Filter)를 추가장착하는 것을 제안하였고 그 중심파장과 밴드폭을 결정하였다. 몬테카를로 계산 결과 10장의 393.55nm 중심의 1.4nm폭 협대역필터와 393.5nm 중심의 10nm 협대역 필터비를 이용해 1Rs 화소의 해상도로 F코로나 편광량을 결정할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다. 2023년 CODEX 발사 후 본 관측이 성공적으로 수행된다면 F코로나의 편광량의 시간, 공간적 변화를 확인할 수 있으며 추가적으로 K코로나를 보다 정밀하게 분리해낼 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

편광분석법(ellipsometry)은 대상 물질의 유전율 함수의 실수부와 허수부를 Kramers-Kronig 관계식의 도움 없이 그 물질상수를 정확히 측정할 수 있는 매우 우수한 기술이다. 이 기술의 큰 장점 중 하나는 빛의 편광상태의 변화를 이용한 비파괴적인 방법으로써 실시간 측정이 가능하며, 박막의 두께측정의 오차범위는 0.1 nm 이하로써 매우 정확하다는 것이다. 본 연구자는 이러한 우수한 측정 기술인 편광분석법을 고진공의 분자살박막증착장치(MBE) 와 결합하여 AlSb, AlP의 유전율 함수를 측정하였다. Al 계열을 포함하는 반도체 화합물은 Al의 산소친화력이 강해 대기 중에서 순수한 유전율 함수를 얻기가 불가능하다. 하지만 본 연구실에서 초고진공 상태의 MBE 챔버에서 시료를 성장시키는 동시에 실시간으로 편광분석기를 이용하여 측정하였고, 지금까지 발표된 결과들 중 가장 순수한 상태의 AlSb 유전율 함수를 얻어낼 수 있었다. 또한 순수한 AlP의 유전함수를 측정할 수 있었고, 이는 편광분석기를 이용한 최초의 실험결과로써 이차미분을 이용한 전이점 분석결과 이론적인 전자밴드구조에서 E1, E1+${\Delta}1$, E2에 해당하는 밴드갭들을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 표면의 원자배열 구조와 실시간으로 일어나는 그들의 역학적인 현상들에 관한 정보를 얻을 수 있는 surface photoabsorption (SPA)를 metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD)에 장착하여 실시간 모니터링이 가능하도록 하였다. SPA를 이용하여 GaAs/AlGaAs 양자우물구조의 성장을 원자층 수준으로 실시간 모니터링을 할 수 있었다. 그리고 SPA를 이용하여 MOCVD 안에서 InP에 As가 흡착 및 탈착되는 현상을 분석하여, As의 흡착이 두 단계에 의해 이루어짐을 분석하였다. 그리고 편광분석법의 빠르고 정확한 측정 기술을 규칙적인 구조체에서 전자기파의 회절을 구할 수 있는 Rigorous Coupled-Wave Analysis (RCWA) 계산방법과 결합하여 나노구조의 기하학적인 모양을 정확하고 빠르게 구할 수 있었다. 본 연구를 위해 규칙적인 3차원 Si 구조체 제작하여 편광분석기로 측정하고 $SiO_2$와 표면 거칠기를 고려하여 RCWA로 분석한 결과, 규칙적인 Si 구조와 산화막 층까지 정확하게 분석할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 규칙적인 나노구조분석 연구를 넘어 불규칙적인 나노구조에 대한 분석 가능성을 보이기 위해 InAs 양자점을 증착하여 분석하였고, 이를 통해 편광분석법과 RCWA를 이용하여 불규칙적인 나노구조의 모양과 크기, 분포의 분석이 가능함을 보였다.

COMS accommodates multiple payloads; Meteorological Image(MI), Ocean Color Imager(GOCI) and Ka-band communication payloads. In order to improve the quality of MI visible channel, the moon image has been taken into account as backup reference in addition to Albedo monitoring. However, obtaining the moon image by adding special mission schedule is not recommended after IOT, because we may miss chances to obtain meteorological images during the time slots for special imaging. As an alternative solution, an approach extracting moon image from MI FD(Full Disk) image has been proposed when the moon is positioned near to the earth. However, prediction of acquisition time of moon image is somewhat difficult as the moon moves while the MI is scanning type sensor. And the moon can not be seen when it is behind the earth or outside of FD field of view. This paper discusses how effectively the moon can be detected by the MI FD imaging. For that purpose, this paper describes an approach taken to predict the time when the moon image is achievable and then introduces the results obtained from computer simulation.

The real-time biomedical signal monitoring is a very important factor to realize the ubiquitous healthcare environment. Most of these devices for monitoring the biomedical information get the PPG signal from the user, and these signals are utilized for monitoring their health. It is inconvenient to get the PPG because the user should wear the finger probe with his finger for measuring the PPG signal. Also it is difficult to get the PPG correctly, because of the motion artifacts from the movement of the user. In this paper, we develop the watch type biomedical signal monitoring system without the finger probe, and propose the new algorithm for reducing the motion artifacts from the PPG signal. We designed the system which gets the PPG from the sensor on the wrist band strip. As compared with the finger probe type, this system we proposed is more affected by the motion artifacts. So to filter this motion artifacts, we propose the new method; the improved PMAF(Periodic Moving Average Filter) method.
