Purpose: The usefulness of using single-electron radiation for secondary radiotherapy of breast cancer patients after surgery is assessed and the use of a combine of different energy. Methods and materials : In this study, 40 patients (group A) using energy 6 MeV and 9 MeV, and 19 patients (group B) using a combine of 9 MeV and 12 MeV were studied among 59 patients who performed secondary care using combine electronic radiation. Each patient in each group, 6 MeV, 9 MeV, Combine(6 MeV / 9 MeV) and 9 MeV, 12 MeV, Combine (9 MeV / 12 MeV) were developed in different ways, and the maximum doses delivered to the original hospital, D95, D5, and $V_3$, $V_5$, $V_{10}$ were compared. Result: The D95 mean value of Group A treatment plan was $785.33{\pm}225.37cGy$, $1121.79{\pm}87.02cGy$ at 9 MeV, and $1010.98{\pm}111.17cGy$ at 6 MeV / 9 MeV, and the mean value at 6 MeV / 9 MeV was most appropriate for the dose. The mean values of the low dose area $V_3$ and $V_5$ in the lung of the breast direction being treated were $3.24{\pm}3.49%$ and $0.72{\pm}1.55%$ at 6 MeV, the highest 9 MeV at $7.25{\pm}4.59%$, $3.07{\pm}2.64%$, the lowest at 6 MeV. Maximum and average lung dose was $727.78{\pm}137.27cGy$ at 6 MeV / 9 MeV, $49.16{\pm}24.44cGy$, highest 9 MeV at $998.97{\pm}114.35cGy$, $85.33{\pm}41.18cGy$, and lowest 6 MeV at $387.78{\pm}208.88cGy$, $9.27{\pm}6.60cGy$. The value of $V_{10}$ was all close to zero. Group B appeared in the pattern of Group A. Conclusion: Relative differences in low-dose areas of the lungs $V_3$ and $V_5$ were seen and were most effective in the dose transfer of tumor bed in the application of combined energy. It is thought that the method of using electronic energy in further radiation treatments for breast cancer is a more effective way to use the energy effect of limiting energy resources, and that if you think about it again, it could be a little more beneficial radiation treatment for patients.

We investigated chemical states of a $Sb_2Te_3$ thin film with the polycrystalline phase by using high-resolution x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy with synchrotron radiation. The $Sb_2Te_3$ thin film was formed by sputtering. The rhombohedral phase was confirmed by x-ray diffraction. To remove the surface oxide, we performed $Ne^+$ ion sputtering for 1 hour with the beam energy of 1 kV and post-annealing at $100^{\circ}C$ for 5 min in ultra-high vacuum. We obtained the Te and Sb 4d core-levels spectra with the peaks at the binding energies of 40.4 and 33.0 eV, respectively. The full-width of half maximum of both the Te and Sb $4d_{5/2}$ core-levels is 0.9 eV. The Te and Sb core-levels only show a single chemical state, and we also confirmed the stoichiometry of approximately 2 : 3.

In this paper, an energy detection-based low power, low complexity IR-UWB receiver in multipath impulse radio channel is presented. The proposed receiver has a simple 1-bit sampler for energy detection. Also, multipath signal received from multipath impulse radio channel is amplified and envelope of the signal is detected. Then, energy detection technique using integrator by summing multipath signals in certain period is adopted to minimize the BER loss by simple energy detection. In particular, in acquisition of a sample signal, SNR is additionally improved using a digital sampler. Symbol decision using several sampled signals is performed and thus the process of symbol synchronization is significantly simplified. Also, it is effectively designed to be compatible with influences of multipath and timing error. In addition, the proposed receiver complexity is reduced using pulse decision window. The performance of the proposed receiver is simulated based on IEEE 802.15.4a channel model and the algorithms are implemented on FPGA.

Most of the spatial scattered dose caused by the scattered rays generated by the collision between the object and X-rays is relatively easily absorbed by the human body as electromagnetic waves in the low energy region, thereby increasing the degree of radiation exposure. Such spatial scattering dose is also used as an indicator of the degree of radiation exposure of radiation workers and patients, and there is a need for a method to reduce exposure by reducing the spatial scattered dose that occurs indirectly. Therefore, in this study, a lead-free radiation shielding sheet was proposed as a way to reduce the spatial scattering dose, and a Monte Carlo (MC) simulation was performed based on a chest X-ray examination. The absorbed dose was calculated and the measured value and the shielding rate were compared and evaluated.

에너지갭이 큰 SnO2 반도체는 빛 투과율이 우수하여 투명성이 좋으며 화학적으로 안정된 구조를 가지고 있어 전자소자 및 광소자 응용에 대단히 유용하다. SnO2 박막을 증착하는 방법은 Physical Vapor Deposition과 Chemical Vapor Deposition이 있으나 나노 구조를 가진 SnO2를 형성하기 어렵다. 전기 화학적 증착 (Electrochemical Deposition: ECD)은 낮은 온도에서 진공 공정이 필요하지 않기 때문에 경제적이며 빠른 성장 속도를 가지고 있기 때문에 SnO2 나노 구조를 효과적으로 형성 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) 기판 위에 SnO2 나노 구조를 형성시켜 전기적 및 구조적 특성을 관찰하였다. 0.015 M의 Tin chloride pentahydrate(SnCl4 5H2O)를 타켓 물질로 사용하고 0.1 M의 KCl을 완충물질로 사용하여 SnO2 나노구조를 성장하였다. 타겟 물질이 잘 녹지 않으므로 DI water와 ethanol을 7：3의 비율로 용매 사용하였다. 전류-전압 곡선을 분석하여 최적의 성장조건을 확보하고, $65^{\circ}C$ 1기압 하에서 -2.5 V 부터 -1.0 V까지 0.5 V 간격으로 나누어서 SnO2 나노구조를 성장하였다. X-선 회절 분석결과에서 SnO2의 피크의 크기가 큰 전기화적적 성장 전압구간과, 주사전자현미경 분석 결과에서 나노 구조가 가장 잘 나타난 성장 전압구간을 다시 0.1 V 간격으로 세분화하여 최적화 조건을 분석하였다. X-선 회절 실험으로 형성한 SnO2 나노구조의 피크가 (110) (101) (200) (211) (310)로 나타났다. X-선 회절 분석의 intensity의 값이 (101)방향이 가장 크게 나타났으므로 우선적으로 (101) 방향으로 SnO2 나노구조가 성장됨을 알 수 있었다. 주사전자현미경상은 grain size가 50~100 nm 사이의 SnO2 나노구조가 형성되며, grain size가 전기화학적 증착 장치의 성장전압이 저 전압 구간에서 커지는 것을 알 수 있었다.

헤테로원자(X=O, S, Se)의 변환에 따라 용액상에서 Merocyanine색소 및 Cyanine색소의 헤테로원자X는 p궤도의 원자보다 d궤도의 원자가 공명에 관여하여 공역계확장에 기여하였고, 유전률이 큰 용매 일수륵 Merocyanine색소는 장파장으로 흡수극대치가 이동하였다. 또 Cyanine색소의 기저상태는 $I^-$이온과 정전하 발색단을 가진 이온성 화합물로 되어 있으므로 극성용매에서 $I^-$ 이온의 전하가 색소본체로 전하 이동전이가 발생하여 단파장화 하였다. 고상에서 색소의 농도가 높을 수록 색소분자간의 거리가 가까워져 색소 상호작용이 변화하여 흡수스펙트럼에서는 전체적으로 폭이 넓은 형태로 나타났으며 이것은 농도가 높을 수록 색소분자간의 거리가 가까워져 색소 상호작용이 변화한 때문이라고 생각된다. 또한 3차원 형광의 저농도에서 보이지 않는 새로운 스펙트럼이 Cyanine색소에서 나타났으며 이 스펙트럼은 색소고유의 흡수에 기인한 것으로 Eximer형광으로 생각된다. 광전특성에 있어서는 Merocyanine색소가 Cyanine색소보다 활성화에너지가 낮아 전하이동도가 커짐에 따라 높은 광전특성을 나타내었다. 그리고 Merocyanine색소 헤테로원자(X)의 비교에서 광전특성은 O

Three-dimensional approaches for the diagnosis and analysis of the dentofacial area are becoming more popular in accordance with the development of cone-beam CT (CBCT). The purposes of this study were to evaluate the reliability of cephalometric measurements of lateral cephalograms generated from a CBCT image by making comparisons with the traditional digital lateral cephalogram, and to evaluate the possibility of the clinical application of CBCT generated cephalogram images. Methods: Twenty patients whose external auditory meatus could be identified in the CBCT image were selected, and both CBCT and digital cephalograms were taken. Differences between the measurements of both cephalograms were tested by paired t-test. Results: Among the 22 measurements used, only U1-FH, Mx6 to PTV, and maxillomandibular difference showed statistically significant differences between the CBCT generated cephalogram and the digital cephalogram. Conclusions: The results suggest that the CBCT generated cephalogram can be used for some cephalometric measurements not requiring porion, PTV, condylion as a landmark (SNA, SNB, U1 to SN, IMPA, interincisal angle, etc.).

Korea has the characteristics of traditional power system such as large-scale power generation and large-scale power transmission systems, including 20 GW large-scale power generation complexes in several regions with unit generator capacity exceeding 1.4 GW, 2-3 ultra-high-voltage transmission lines that transport power from large-scale power generation complexes, and 6 ultra-high-voltage transmission lines that transport power from non-metropolitan areas to the metropolitan area. Due to the characteristics of the power system, the penetration level for renewable energy is low, but due to frequency stability issue, some generators are reducing the output of generators. In the future, the issue of maintaining the stability of the power system is expected to emerge as the most important issue in accordance with the policy of expanding renewable energy. When non-inertial inverter-based renewable energy, such as solar and wind power, surges rapidly, the means to improve the power system stability in an independent system is to install a natural inertial resource synchronous condenser (SC) and a virtual inertial resource BESS in the system. In this study, we analyzed the effect of renewable energy on power system stability and the BESS effect to maintain the minimum frequency through a power system simulation. It was confirmed that the BESS effect according to the power generation constraint capacity reached a maximum of 122.81 %.

In this paper, we propose a new method for artificial bandwidth extension of narrow-band signal in frequency domain. In the proposed method, a narrow-band signal is decomposed into excitation signal and spectral envelope, which are extended independently in frequency domain. The excitation signal is extended such that low-band harmonic structure is maintained in high band, and the spectral envelope is extended based on sub-band energy using NMF. Finally, the spectral phase is determined based on signal correlation between frames in time domain, resulting in the final wide-band signal. The subjective evaluation verified that the wide-band signal generated by the proposed method has a higher quality than the original narrow-band signal.

리튬 이차 전지를 박막화함으로써 개발된 고상의 마이크로 박막전지는 임의의 크기 및 형태로의 제작이 가능하며 액체전해질을 사용하지 않기 때문에 작동 중 열 또는 기체 생성물이 생기지 않아 높은 안정성을 갖으며 광범위한 사용 온도 범위를 가진다. 위와 같은 장점으로 인하여 충전 가능한 고상의 박막형 리튬 이차 전지는 점진적으로 그 사용 범위가 크게 확대될 것으로 판단된다. 즉, 초소형 전자, 전기 소자는 물론이며 조만간 실현될 스마트 카드, 셀루러폰 및 PCS와 같은 개인용 휴대 통신장비의 전력 공급계로의 응용이 가능할 것이다. 특히 장수명, 고에너지 밀도를 갖는 초소형의 전지를 필요로 하는 microelectronics, MEMS등에 이용될 수 있는 이차전지에 대한 요구가 점점 가시화 됨에 따라 박막공정을 이용한 이차전지개발기술이 요구되고 있으며, 박막제조기술을 이용한 고상의 박막형 및 전지에 관한 연구가 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 박막형 리튬 이차전지의 Cathode 물질로써 비정질의 산화바나듐 박막을 반응성 스퍼터링에 의하여 상온에서 증착하였다. 박막형 이차전지의 여러 가지 Cathode 물질중 산화바나듐은 다른 물질들과는 달리 비정질 형태로 매우 우수한 충방전 특성을 나타낸다. 이런 특성으로 인해 다소 전지자체의 성능은 낮지만 저전력 저전압을 필요로 하는 초소형 전자 소자와 혼성되어 이용할 수 있는 잠재성이 매우 높은 물질이다. 바나듐 타겟의 경우 타겟 표면의 ageing에 따라 증착되는 박막의 특성이 매우 달라지게 되므로 presputtering의 시간을 변화시키면서 실험하였다. 또한 스퍼터링 중의 산소의 분압도 타겟의 ageing에 많은 영향을 주므로 실험 변수로 산소분압을 변화시키면서 실험하였다. 증착된 산화바나듐 박막의 표면은 scanning electron microscopy로 분석하였으며 구조 분석은 X-선 회절분석, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy 그리고Auger electron spectroscope로 하였다. 증착된 산화바나듐 박막의 전기화학적 특성을 분석하기 위하여 리튬 메탈을 anode로 하고 EC:DMC=1:1, 1M LiPF6 액체 전해질을 사용한 Half-Cell를 구성하여 200회 이상의 정전류 충 방전 시험을 행하였다. Half-Cell test 결과 박막의 결정성과 표면상태에 따라 매우 다른 전지 특성을 나타내었다.
