The objective of this study is to examine the reproducibility for compressive strength development and mechanical properties of lightweight concrete made using bottom ash aggregates and foam(LWC-BF). Based on the mix proportions conducted by Ji et al., six identical mixes were prepared with different actual foam volume ratios from 0% to 25% and water-to-binder ratios from 25% to 30%. The presently measured properties, including initial slump, slurry density, compressive strength gains at different ages, splitting tensile strength, and modulus of rupture, were very close to those determined in the previous tests by Ji et al. Thus, the developed LWC-BF has a good potential in obtaining a reproducibility for compressive strength development and mechanical properties even though the troubles of mixing control owing to the addition of preformed foam.

Purpose: To evaluate the inter-fractional position and respiratory reproducibility of lung and liver tumors using pressure conserving type(P-type) abdominal compressor in volumetric modulated arc therapy(VMAT). Materials and methods: Six lung cancer patients and three liver cancer patients who underwent VMAT using a P-type abdominal compressor were included in this study. Cone-beam computed tomography(CBCT) images were acquired before each treatment and compared with planning CT images to evaluate the inter-fractional position reproducibility. The position variation was defined as the difference of position shift values between target matching and bone matching. 4-dimensional cone-beam computed tomography(4D CBCT) images were acquired weekly before treatment and compared with planning 4DCT images to evaluate the inter-fractional respiratory reproducibility. The respiratory variation was calculated by the magnitude of excursions by breathing. Results: The mean ± standard deviation(SD) of overall position variation values, 3D vector in the three translational directions were 1.1 ± 1.4 mm and 4.5 ± 2.8 mm for the lung and liver, respectively. The mean ± SD of respiratory variation values were 0.7 ± 3.4 mm (p = 0.195) in the lung and 3.6 ± 2.6 mm (p < 0.05) in the liver. Conclusion: The use of P-type compressor in lung and liver VMAT was effective for stable control of inter-fractional position and respiratory variation by reproduction of abdominal compression. Appropriate PTV margin must be considered in treatment planning, and image guidance before each treatment are required in order to obtain more stable reproducibility

From 1990's, a study on the development of exothermic concrete, a concrete which electro-conductive material is mixed, has been proceeded. However, due to the difficulty of exothermic reproducibility of concrete specimen, the study has been unable to continuously carried out. Accordingly, this study was focused on developing an exothermic concrete for the purpose of snow-melting material. Cement paste and mortar specimens mixed with graphite, conductive metal powder and chemical admixture were made. The evaluation of exothermic performance and reproducibility was conducted under $-2^{\circ}C$ of low temperature. In addition, micro-chemical analysis was carried out to investigate a cause of exothermic reproducibility. As a test result, the specimen mixed with graphite and superplasticizer with air entrained showed the best exothermic performance and reproducibility. Through micro-chemical analysis, it is judged that polymer or methacrylic acid (MAA), the contents inside the superplasticizer with air entrained, gave exothermic reproducibility by generating the electrochemical reaction with graphite.

수자원설계 및 계획 시 제한된 강우자료로 인해 나타나는 한계를 개선하기 위한 목적으로 추계학적 강수모의 모형을 활용한다. 대표적인 추계학적 강수모형으로 Bartlett-Lewis Rectangular Pulse Modified Model(BLPRM)과 Neyman-Scott Rectangular Pulse Model(NSRPM) 등이 활용되고 있으며, 관측강수량의 통계적 모멘트를 재현할 수 있도록 모형 매개변수를 최적화하는 과정이 필수적으로 요구된다. 기본적으로 모형 매개변수들의 조합을 통해 추정되는 통계적 모멘트와 관측값의 통계적 모멘트를 반복적으로 비교하면서 최적 매개변수를 추정하게 된다. 그러나 상대적으로 적은 관측값을 이용하여 매개변수를 추정하기 때문에, 매개변수 추정이 어려울 뿐만 아니라 매개변수의 불확실성도 큰 특징을 가지고 있다. 모형 매개변수 추정과정에서 다양한 목적함수가 활용되고 있으나, 고려되는 통계적 모멘트가 평균 및 분산 등 2차 모멘트에 제한되고 있어 극치강수량에 대한 재현성은 상대적으로 부족한 부분이 있다. 본 연구에서는 3차 모멘트를 포함한 목적함수를 활용하여 NSRP모형 매개변수를 추정하고, 기존 2차 모멘트를 이용한 매개변수 접근방법과 극치강수량 재현 측면에서 비교를 수행하였다. 최종적으로 유역 단위에서 극치강수량 재현효과를 평가하기 위해서는 면적강수량 추정이 매우 중요하며, 본 연구에서는 이러한 점을 감안하여 강우 지점 간의 상관성을 유지하면서 강우모의가 가능한 다지점 NSRP 모형과 연계하여 극치강우 재현 가능성을 평가하였다.

Nakdong River was recently dredged with multi-functional weirs construction. Therefore, the depth was deepened and the lag time also increased. As a result, stratification occurred in some sections with deep water depth, and it also caused the increase of algal bloom phenomenon. The purpose of this study is to evaluate reproducibility of stratification in the Nakdong River by applying the EFDC model, which is a three-dimensional hydraulic and water quality analysis model proving the reproducibility of stratification phenomena in reservoirs and estuaries. In order to reproduce the Nakdong river water temperature and DO stratification, EFDC model was constructed in the downstream part of the Nakdong river and sensitivity analysis was performed on key parameters sensitive to stratification. Sensitivity analysis was used to reproduce stratification by selecting optimal parameters. The results of this study can be used as basic data for the analysis of various destratification scenarios.

Purpose: As the demand of a simple and precise method increases to evaluate the performance of the inverter type x-ray unit, we evaluated the usefulness of the recently-introduced X-ray Multi-Function Test Device (moldel : Xi (unfors)-prestige). Method: We compared the performance of X-ray Multi-Function Test Device (XMFTD) which is non-inveasive type device with the performance of Dynalyzer III that has been most widely used inveasive type measure device. Result: X-ray output dose was increased a little in the XMFTD, but both devices were below the performance evaluation standard, 0.002 in the output reproducibility. Linearity of XMFTD were below 0.1 which means that Dynalyzer III showed more excellency in linearity. As the the accuracy of exposure factor, 1.8 and 2 tube voltage, 2.01 and 2.3 tube current were measured. The exposure time was also measured by 0.01 sec ${\pm}10%$. Both devices were within the acceptance of performance evaluatioin standard. Conclusion: We proved the usefulness of X-ray Multi-Function Test Device (model: Xi (unfors)-prestige) to evaluated the performance on reproductibility and linearity of X-ray output and accuracy of exposure factor of inverter type unit.

아날로그 기법은 대표적인 일기도분류 기반의 공간상세화 기법으로써 과거 기상 현상이 미래 재현된다는 가정 하에 공간상세화를 수행하는 방법이다. 대규모 공간범위에 대한 아날로그 기법 적용 시에 지역 구분을 기반으로 적용하는 것이 바람직하다고 알려져 있으며, 기상 변수 간의 선형 상관성을 기반으로 지역구분을 수행하는 기법이 제안된 바 있다. 다만 기존 방법은 아날로그 시점을 찾는 범위가 지나치게 넓어지거나, 공간적으로 불연속적인 구간이 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 지역 간 기후변동성이 크고 도서가 다수 위치한 아시아 지역에서는 부적합한 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 아시아 지역에 대해 지역별 기후특성을 반영할 수 있는 아날로그 공간상세화 기법(BCIA)을 제안하고 평가하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 쾨펜 기후구분과 ETCCDI 지수를 활용하여 기후특성을 고려한 지역구분을 수행하였으며, 이를 기반으로 아날로그 상세화를 수행하고 평가하였다. 평가결과 BCIA는 기존 아날로그 기법에 비해 기후 특성을 재현하는데 효과적인 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 극치 계열의 기후 지수, 강수일수와 관련된 기후 지수의 재현성이 우수한 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서는 기존 일부 지역에서만 시도되었던 지역별 아날로그 적용 방법론을 아시아 지역에 맞게 새롭게 제안하였고 이에 대한 활용성을 검증하였다는 점에서 가치가 있다.

I. Purpose Brachytherapy is the main component in treatment of patients with uterine cervical cancer. The reproducibility of applicator position in the same patient at repeated treatments was very important for accurate dose delivery. It was aimed to evaluate the change of applicator location between each high dose rate(HDR) brachytherapy insertion in the patients with uterine cervical cancer. II. Materials and Methods From January 1999 to October 2001, total 52 patients were treated with external beam radiotherapy and HDR brachytherapy (Microselectron, Nucletron). During six to seven times of brachytherapy, all patients had three treatment plans. From the orthogonal radiographs, we measured the following variables; height from upper border of pubic bone to os (HPO), distance from sacral promontory to tip of tandem (DST), distance from coccyx to os (DCO), distance from tip of right ovoid to os (DRO), distance from tip of left ovoid to os (DLO), and distance from center of the first tandem source to ovoid (DTO). To evaluate the reproducibility of applicator position, it was calculated the standard deviation of differences between three insertions for the 7 parameters in each patient. III. Results The ranges of standard deviations of interfractional differences for the variables were as follows. 1)HPO : $0{\sim}0.79cm$ 2)DST : $0{\sim}0.9cm$ 3)DCO : $0.06{\sim}0.76cm$ 4)DRO : $0{\sim}0.53cm$ 5)DLO : $0{\sim}0.45cm$ 6) DTO $0{\sim}0.36cm$ IV. Conclusions There was some change in applicator position on repeated implants in our study. But variation of the interfractional differences was minimal; in all parameters, there were less than 1 cm. We are continued to try for reducing the geometric variation between each procedure.
