목적 : 조사면 크기에 따른 금속쐐기와 가상쐐기에 의한 6 MV 와 15 MV 엑스선의 출력 및 상부와 하부 에 설치하는 금속쐐기의 출력을 비교하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 : Varian Clinac21EX(미국)는 두부의 상부와 하부에 설치하는 각각의 금속쐐기와 제한기에 의한 가상쐐기 기능을 가지고 있다. 금속쐐기의 쐐기각은 네 가지 (15$^{\circ}$, 30$^{\circ}$, 45$^{\circ}$, 60$^{\circ}$)이며 투과력에 무관하게 한 쐐기각에 대한 쐐기는 사하부는 각 1 개이고, 가상쐐기는 일곱 가지 ($10^{\circ}$, 15$^{\circ}$, 20$^{\circ}$, 25$^{\circ}$, 30$^{\circ}$, 45$^{\circ}$, 60$^{\circ}$) 이다. 각 쐐기에 대하여 3$\times$3～20$\times$20 $\textrm{cm}^2$ 의 조사면 크기에서 6 및 15 MV 엑스선의 쐐기출력인수 (wedge field output factor)를 $d_{max}$와 10 $\textrm{cm}^2$ 깊이에서 측정하였다. 조사면크기와 측정깊이에 따른 쐐기출력인수의 변화추이를 관찰하였다. 쐐기출력인수 O $F_{Wdg}$는 다음과 같다. O $F_{Wdg}$(r)= $D_{Wdg}$(r)/ $D_{op}$ ( $r_{0}$) 여기서 $r_{0}$와 r은 각각 민조사면의 기준조사면크기, 쐐기조사면크기이다. 하부쐐기에 대한 상부쐐기의 출력인수의 상대적인 백분율 차이, %ROD=l00$\times$(O $F_{upWdg}$/O $F_{lowWdg}$ lowWdg/ - 1)를 구하였다. 조사면크기와 깊이에 따른 %ROD의 변화추이를 평가하였으며 쐐기 각각에 대하여 출력인수를 측정해야하는지 평가하였다. 결과 : 금속쐐기에 대한 쐐기출력인수는 방사선의 투과력과 깊이에 관계없이 조사면 크기가 커짐에 따라 증가하였으나 가상쐐기의 쐐기출력인수는 쐐기각이 작은 경우에는 조사면크기가 커짐에 따라 증가하다가 감소하였으며 최대값을 보이는 조사면크기는 쐐기각이 커짐에 반하여 감소하였으며 투과력에 관계없이 60。 쐐기에 대해서는 조사면 크기가 4 cm(A/P=1) 이상에서 조사면크기가 커짐에 따라 감소하였다. 6 MV 엑스선 에 대한 10 cm 깊이에서 15。 쐐기와 15 MV 엑스선에 대한 10 cm 깊이에서 45。 쐐기의 A/P 가 1.5보다 작은 조사면을 제외하고는 조사면의 크기가 커짐에 따라 %ROD는 감소하였다. $d_{max}$에서는 15。 쐐기와 30。 쐐기에 대해서는 %ROD가 음수였으며 절대값이 증가하였다. 이는 곧 조사면의 크기가 커짐에 따라 상부쐐기의 쐐기출력계수가 하부쐐기와 접근하고 드디어는 상부쐐기의 출력인수가 하부쐐기의 출력인수보다 작아질 수도 있다는 것을 의미하고 있다. 또한 %ROD 는 쐐기각이 클수록 변화가 컸으며, 조사면 크기가 커짐에 따라 10 cm 깊이에서보다 $d_{max}$에서 더 급하게 감소하였다. %ROD 는 6 MV 엑스선에 대해서는 -0.52～4.18 % 였고, 15 MV 엑스선에 대해서는 -0.44-4.18 % 였다. 결론 : 두 가지 투과력의 엑스선이 방출되는 선형가속기의 상하부 쐐기와 가상쐐기의 출력인수를 측정하여 비교하였다. 결과에서 얻어진 결론은 아래와 같다. 1. 조사면의 크기가 커짐에 따라 금속쐐기의 출력계수 는 증가하였으나 가상쐐기의 경우는 증가하다가 감소하거나 큰 쐐기각에 대해서는 감소만 하였다. 2. 상부쐐 기와 하부쐐기는 쐐기출력인수가 4% 이상 차이가 날 수 있으므로 독립적으로 측정하여 이용하여야 할 것이다.것이다.다.

A new steel connection method using wedges known as Self-Locking Connector has been developed. In this study, experimental investigation was conducted to verify the seismic performance of steel beam-to-column joints with Self-Locking Connectors. Cyclic-loading tests were performed on two beam-to-column joints with Self-Locking Connectors. The two beam-to-column joint specimens were of the cantilever-type and had the same details. Test results showed that beam-to-column joints with Self-Locking Connectors were able to developa total rotation capacity of 0.06 radian, which is greater than the 0.04 radian required for Special Moment Frames. Moreover, their energy absorption capacity was much greater than that of conventional joints.

The purpose of this study was to develop a new connection method between steel beams and PC columns known as SL connectors. Composite moment frames consisting of PC columns (or composite columns) and steel beams make the best use of advantages of both concrete and steel materials. However, the connection between two members of different materials can be complex and/or increase the fabrication costs significantly. The concept of SL connectors is based on using wedges and the emphasis is on a self-locking (SL) feature. SL connectors are easy to install and provide better seismic performance compared to conventional connections. To evaluate the seismic performance of the steel beam-to-PC column joints with SL connectors, cyclic load tests were conducted. Test result showed that steel beam-to-concrete column joint with SL connectors was able to provide sufficient performance for use in seismic resistant moment frames.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the dose distribution when wedge filter is used in the various tissue electron density materials. The dose distribution was assessed that the enhanced dynamic wedge filter and physical wedge filter were used in the solid water phantom, cork phantom, and air cavity. The film dosimetry was suitable simple to measure 2D dose distribution. Therefore, the radiochromic films (Gafchromic EBT2, ISP, NJ, USA) were selected to measure and to analyze the dose distributions. A linear accelerator using 6 MV photon were irradiated to field size of $10{\times}10cm^2$ with 400 MUs. The dose distributions of EBT2 films were analyzed the in-field area and penumbra regions by using dose analysis program. In the dose distributions of wedge field, the dose from a physical wedge was higher than that from a dynamic wedge at the same electron density materials. A dose distributions of wedge type in the solid water phantom and the cork phantom were in agreements with 2%. However, the dose distribution in air cavity showed the large difference with those in the solid water phantom or cork phantom dose distributions. Dose distribution of wedge field in air cavity was not shown the wedge effect. The penumbra width, out of the field of thick and thin, was observed larger from 1 cm to 2 cm at the thick end. The penumbra of physical wedge filter was much larger average 6% than the dynamic wedge filter. If the physical wedge filter is used, the dose was increased to effect the scatter that interacted with photon and physical wedge. In the case of difference in electron like the soft tissue, lung, and air, the transmission, absorption, and scattering were changed in the medium at high energy photon. Therefore, the treatment at the difference electron density should be inhomogeneity correction in treatment planning system.

서해안은 최대 조석 차 9 m 이상의 세계적으로 손꼽히는 반일조 지역이므로 염수가 신곡수중 보까지 치고 올라오는 것으로 알려져 있으나 한강 하구부에서의 흐름 및 염도분포 해석에 관한 연구는 지형적 군사적 특성 상 많이 진행되지 못했다. 본 연구에서는 2차원 하천해석 프로그램인 RAMS를 적용하여 신곡수중보 하류로부터 유도지점까지의 염도 분포 및 염수 길이를 해석하고 경험식을 이용해 수치모의 결과를 검증하였다. 염수가 최상류까지 치고 올라갈 수 있는 조건으로 최대조위와 최소유량을 가지는 시점을 택해 염도분포 농도를 계산하였으며 하류단인 유도지점의 염도를 인천검조소 실측값으로부터 전이하기 위해 이송분산방정식의 연속주입 해석해를 이용하였다. 염도분포의 최선단부는 장항 IC 부근으로 최대 역류 발생 위치와 같은 지점이었으며 정상염수 쐐기 경험식에 의해 염수의 길이를 해석한 결과와도 일치하였다.

Purpose: In order to find out stability condition which governs design of drystone masonry retaining walls and changing patterns of installed width of blocks of the wall for each stability conditions, typical wall was assumed and designed. Method: For the purpose of this study, 10 m high drystone masonry retaining wall with general block size and soil properties were considered and dimensions of the wall were determined by applying stability conditions of sliding and overturning and the design results were compared with each other. Result: According to the design results, installed width of blocks determined by considering stability of sliding were greatly less than those determined by considering stability of overturning and these differences were not decreased noticeably even though same values of factors of safety for sliding and overturning were applied. Between the two methods of determining the installed width of blocks, it could be seen that the method of considering failure wedge of lower part of overturning parts of the wall governed the design instead of considering horizontal base of overturning parts of the wall. Conclusion: In case of considering failure wedge of lower part of overturning parts of the wall, it could be seen that the installed width of blocks increased as the inclination angle of failure wedge increased. In case of considering overturning at the lower part of the wall with certain assumed inclination angle of failure wedge, it could be seen that installed width of blocks decreased as the inclination angle of failure wedge decreased by geometric restrictions of the wall.

Background: Retrospective study was carried out on patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax with the aim of determining if conventional thoracoscopic wedge resection is superior to modified transaxillary minithoracotomy with thoracoscopy in the surgical treatment. Material and Method: 160 patients, aged 14 to 35 years with primary spontaneous pneumothorax were involved in this study. Patients were assigned to two groups by surgical technique; Conventional thoracoscopic wedge resection (group A; n=80) and modified transaxillary minithoracotomy with thoracoscopy (group B; n=80). Apical pleural abrasion & talc poudrage were performed in all cases. This study evaluated the following factors: duration of operation, days of analgesics used after operation, number of no air leak on the first postoperative day, duration of indwelling chest tube, hospital stay, postoperative complications, chronic chest pain (during follow-up) and resumption of normal activity. Relapses (ipsilateral recurrence after discharge) during follow-up periods were evaluated. Result: No significant differences were found in any of the factors studied in either group. Conclusion: Conventional thoracoscopic wedge resection and modified transaxillary minithoracotomy with thoracoscopy offer similar results in the surgical treatment of primary spontaneous pneumothorax. The rate of complication is low and the level of pain is acceptable without long-term sequele. Therefore, modified transaxillary minithoracotomy with thoracoscopy method appears as a valuable alternative surgical technique.
