T1-, and T2-weighted imagings and FLAIR (fluid attenuated inversion recovery) imaging are fundamental imaging methods in the brain. T1-weighted imaging is a spin-echo sequence with short TR and short TE and produces the tissue contrast by different T1 relaxation times. In other words, short TR maximizes the difference of the longituidinal magnetization recovery between the tissues. T2-weighted imaging is a spin-echo sequence with long TR and long TE and produces the tissue contrast by different T2 relaxation times. Long TE maximizes the difference of the transverse magnetization decay between the tissues. FLAIR is an inversion recovery sequence using 180 degree inversion pulse. 2500 msec of inversion time is applied to suppress the CSF signal.

The mobility in strained Si inversion layer on $Si_{1-x}Ge_x$ is calculated considering a quantum effect(subband energy and wavefunction) in inversion layer and relaxation time approximation. The quantum effect in inversion layer is obtained by using self-consistent calculation of $Schr\ddot{o}dinger$ and Poisson equations. For the relaxation time, intravalley and intervalley scatterings are considered. The result shows that the reason for the enhancement in mobility as Ge mole fraction increases is that the electron mobility in 2-폴드 valleys is about 3 times higher than that of 4-폴드 valleys and most electrons are located in 2-폴드 valleys as Ge mole fraction increases. Meanwhile, for the phonon-limited mobility the fitting to experimental data, Coulomb and surface roughness mobilities are included in total mobility, Deformation potentials are selected for the calculated effective field, temperature, and Ge mole fraction dependent mobilities to be fitted to experimental data, and then upgraded data can be obtained by considering nonparabolicity in Si band structure.

실시간 시스템은 서버와 같은 공유자원들에 대해서 보다 높은 우선순위 활동의 최악 블록시간(worst case blocking time)을 결정해야한다. 현재까지 분산 시스템을 위한 여러 서버 모델들이 제안되었으며 이러한 서버모델들에 우선순위 규약을 적용하여 실시간성을 높이고 있다. 본 논문에서는 RT- Mach에서 실시간성을 향상시키기 위한 새로운 모델을 제시하여 우선순위 반전 문제를 해결하기 위해 동적 스레드 관리자(dynamic thread manager) 를 제안하였다. 기존의 여러 서버 모델들과 달리 서버마다 동적 스레드 관리자를 두어 작업자 그룹내에서 유혹 스레드(idle thread)와 바쁜스레드 (busy thread ) 판별하여 적절한 스레드를 선정, 조정하고 서버로부터의 요구에 대해 최상위 우선순위를 할당하여 서버간의 우선순위 반전을 중이고 실시간성을 향상시키고자 했다.

This paper proposes a baseline-free SHM technique in which the time-reversal process of Lamb waves and the imaging method are used. The proposed SHM technique has three distinct features when compared with the authors' previously proposed one: (1) It use the reconstructed signal for damage diagnosis, without need to extract the damage signal as the difference between reconstructed signal and initial input signal; (2) It use the imaging method based on the time-offlight information from the reconstructed signal, instead of using a pattern comparison method; (3) In order to make the damage image more clear, the modified mathematical definition of damage image in a pixel is used. The proposed SHM technique is evaluated through the damage detection experiment for an aluminum plate with damage at different locations.

본 논문에서는 고분자 절연체가 인가된 전압의 시간에 따라 변화하는 공간전하와 전도 전류의 영향에 대하여 조사를 하였다. 또한 극성반전에 따른 공간전하의 분포와 전도 전류에 변화에 대한 연구를 실시하였다. 기존의 공간전하 분포 측정법들은 주로 고분자 절연재료 내에서 공간전하분포의 측정만을 목표로 한 반면에 공간전하 측정법 중의 하나인 PEA(Pulsed Electro-Acoustic method)을 개선시켜 공간전하와 전도전류의 동시 측정을 가능하게 하였다. 개선된 PEA법은 시간변화에 따른 공간전하와 전기전도의 직접적인 상관관계와 미리 형성 되어 있는 공간전하가 전기전도 및 절연특성에 미치는 영향을 직접적으로 분석할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 공간전하와 전류의 동시 측정법을 이용하여 연구하였다.

The spatial focusing of time reversal Lamb waves on a plate has attracted considerable attention for identifying the location of an input source. This study investigates the spatial focusing performance on a plate with respect to the number of piezoelectric (PZT) sensors for varying locations of input sources. In particular, a small number of PZT sensors produce spatial focusing through the virtual sensor effect due to reflection of Lamb waves at plate edges. The spatial focusing performance with respect to the number of PZT sensors is quantified in terms of signal to noise ratio through numerical simulation and its implication is discussed.

A low power PRAM using a power-dependant data inversion (PDI) scheme is proposed. The PRAM consumes large write power because large write currents are required during long time. Also, the power consumptions for storing #1# and #0# are different. The PDI circuit compares the power consumptions to store the original data and its inverted data, and then it stores the less power consuming data. Although the PDI scheme needs an additional inversion bit per data, the maximum and average powers of the PDI can be under 50% and 37.5% of the conventional write scheme, respectively. The average power for storing 8bit data is under 41%, due to the inversion bit. The 1K-bit PRAM chip with 128$\times$8bits was implemented with a 0.8${\mu}m$ CMOS technology with a 0.5${\mu}m$ GST cell.

It was reported that there were some cases in which signal was not inhibited but high signal appeared in cerebrospinal fluid on FLAIR(fluid attenuated inversion recovery) of MRI(Magnetic Resonance Imaging) in case a person inhales high-concentration oxygen. This study was to prepare basic database. We produced a phantom fixed with agar gel and by using it, obtained the images of the signals of normal saline into which oxygen was injected and normal saline diluted with contrast media by changing the TI(Inversion Time) of FLAIR technique and analyzed them. In the result of FLAIR technique of MRI using Philips Achieva MR 3.0T in Busan P Hospital, the SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio) of normal saline into which oxygen was injected was higher than the SNR of normal saline into which oxygen was not injected. However, it was not higher than the SNR of normal saline diluted with contrast media. In the TI 1,800ms, we could obtain the images which do not have the rise of the signal due to oxygen. In the CNR(Contrast to Noise Ratio) of normal saline into which oxygen was injected and normal saline diluted with contrast media as well, it was higher in the TI 1,800ms than in the TI 2,800ms that is mainly used clinically. It is thought that the result of this study could be basic database for studies on change of signal of cerebrospinal fluid as a result of injection of oxygen in FLAIR technique of MRI.

This study investigated the effect of wrist taping (WT) after application of stabilizing reversal technique (SRT) of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) on pain and grip strength (GS) in patients with wrist pain (WP). Twenty patients with WP were randomly assigned to an experimental group (n=10) that received WT after application of SRT, and a control group (n=10) that received WT after application of stretching. The total intervention time consisted of a maximum of 10 minutes including breaks, and was performed 5 times a week for 2 weeks. Pain reduction was measured using a visual analogue scale. GS was measured using a dynamometer. Within group changes in pain and GS were significant in both experimental and control groups (p<0.01). Between group changes in pain and GS were greater in the experimental group than in the control group (p<0.01). This findings indicate that SRT of PNF and WT convergence can be an effective intervention for patients with WP. Continued development of convergence interventions for patients with WP various conditions in practice, is suggested.

In order to investigate the origin of the asymmetric magnetization reversal effect, we studied the variation of magnetic hysteresis loops with the alloy composition in amorphous ferromagnetic alloy ribbons of ${(Fe_{1-x}Co_{x})}_{75}Si_{10}B_{15}$ system annealed at $380^{\circ}C$ for 16 hours in a zero field condition. The asymmetric magnetization reversal effect developed more strongly in amorphous ribbons having two metallic components than in ribbons having a single metallic component. The effect developed more strongly in ribbons showing a smaller value of the saturation mag¬netostriction. The development of the asymmetric magnetization reversal effect was affected by the ratio of two metallic components as well as the magnitude of the saturation magnetostriction.
