The dose distribution in the human body was evaluated and analyzed through dosimetry data using water phantom, ionization chamber and simulated by Monte Carlo simulation for ^99mTc and ¹⁸F sources, which are frequently used in the nuclear medicine in this study. As a result of this study, it was found that the dose decreased exponentially as the distance from the radioisotope increased, and it particularly showed a tendency to decrease sharply when the radioisotope was separated by 5 cm. It means that a large amount of dose is delivered to an organ located within 4 cm of source's movement path when a source uptake in the human body. Numerically, it was formed in the rage of 0.16 to 2.16 pC/min for ^99mTc and 0.49 to 9.29 pC/min for ¹⁸F. In addition, the energy transfer coefficient calculated using the result was found to be similar to the measured value and the simulation value in the range of 0.240 to 0.260. Especially, when the measured data and the simulation value were compared, there was a difference is within 2%, so the reliability of the data was secured. In this study, the distribution of radiation generated from a source was calculated to quantitatively evaluate the internal dose by radioisotopes. It presented reliable results through comparative analysis of the measurement value and simulation value. Above all, it has a great significance to the point that it was presented by directly measuring the distribution of radiation in the human body.

This study analyzed opinions of specialists checking of industrial environment, analysis of bid guideline to select environment friendly railway corridor and choose weight factors. Thus, 7 major categories were extracted from 20 EIA categories and essential supplement request items for environment friendly railway corridor selection. To select environment friendly railway corridors, many alternatives should be compared and the assessment of each alternative must be carried out on the basis of these 7 categories. To solve this problem, the selected method was AHP which simplifies the complex problems utilizing hierarchy, quantifying qualitative problems through 1:1 comparison, and extracting objective conclusions by maintaining consistency. As a result, a GUI-based program was developed which provides basic values of weighted parameters of each category defined by specialists, and a quantification of detailed assessment guidelines to ensures consistency.

3D-QSARs (3 dimensional quantitative structrue-activity relationships) on the inhibition activities of 3-substituted-5,5'-diphenylimidazolidine-2,4-dione derivatives (1-22) against FAAH (fatty acid amide hydrolase) were studied quantitatively using CoMFA (comparative molecular field analysis) and CoMSIA (comparative molecular similarity indice analysis) methods. The statistical results of the CoMFA 1A and CoMSIA 2F model are better predictability and fitness. And also, the designed X=I, Y=$N_{2}^{+}$-substituent (P1: $Pred.pI_{50}$=6.55), according to the contour maps with information of the two models, showed the most inhibition activity against FAAH.

This study examines the hydraulic characteristics, the channel changes, the behavior of bars, and bank stability by means of laboratory experiments. Three sets of laboratory experiments are conducted to elucidate the influence of riparian vegetation of the channels with erodible banks. Flow velocity is decreased in the vegetated zone, the mobility of lower channels is decreased. The double Fourier analysis of the bed waves shows that 1-1 mode (alternate bar) is dominant at the initial stage of the channel development. As time increases, 2-2 and 2-3 modes (central or multiple bars) are dominant due to the increased width to depth ratio. As the vegetation density is increased, the number of bars are increased, bank stability increases. The variation of sediment discharges is affected by vegetation density. The braided intensity is decreased with vegetation density. As the vegetation density is increased, the correlation coefficient of bed topography and bed relief index is increased.

An artificial disturbance like fragmentation in watershed forest has impacted a sustainability of watershed ecosystem, therefore this research quantified the landscape structure in the Geumho river watershed using landscape indices and GIS. Landscape indices were calculated from the forest distributed maps for 24 subwatersheds. Three common factors, which explained about 85% of the variation in the original data, were extracted by a factor analysis. The fragmentation gradient in forest landscape, which was calculated from the factor scores, was correlated with proportion of urban land (r=0.827, p<0.01, $R^2$=0.685), elevation (r=-0.637, p<0.01) and slope gradient (r=-0.593, p<0.01). The result of the study presented that the methodology and the values of landscape indices to assess the structural patterns of forest landscape for the Geumho river watershed management. Future research will be directed towards the detection of impacts of landscape patterns and their changes on the integrity of watershed environments.

The flame retardancy was investigated when the halogenated flame retardant, decabromodiphenyl oxide (DBDPO) and chlorinated paraffin wax (CPW), was added to the polypropylene (PP) / montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites. The flame retardancy of polymer resin could be improved not only by addition of flame retardant but also with nanoparticles compositions. The effect of the contents of flame retardant and nanoparticles on the flame retardancy of polypropylene/ montmorillonite nanocomposite systems was thoroughly examined in terms of limited oxygen index (LOI) and cone calorimetry. As a results of cone calorimetry, the heat release rate (HRR) was reduced by the flame retardant DBDPO and CPW, and CPW was a little better than DBDPO. The LOI increased from flammable region (LOI<19) to nonflammable region (LOI>20) for all the flame retardants used in this study. Especially, the improvement in flame retardancy by compounding with PP and MMT was better than that by adding flame retardant to polypropylene. So, the addition of flame retardant after compounding with montmorillonite was more efficient than simple addition of flame retardant.

Hunter value ($L^*$, $a^*$, $b^*$) is a rapid and convenience method for compare with different skin color, but not suitable to compare quality with various grape cultivars. Color Index for Red Grapes (CIRG) is one of a simply convert method for grape skin color as numeric data, and many previously result showed that high correlation between CIRG index and various quality factors of grape. In this experiment, we measured CIRG index, total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity (TA), and total anthocyanin content on the grapes (Campbell Early, Heukbosuk, Kyoho) from the varaison to harvest. As a result, CIRG index and anthocyanin contents have an exponential correlation; r-square is each 0.8595 in the 'Campbell Early' and 0.8500 in 'Heukbosuk'. And TSS and CIRG index have a positive r-square, at the Campbell Early is 0.7758 and Heukbosuk is 0.7253. Also TA and CIRG index have a positive r-square, at the Campbell Early is 0.7279 and Heukbosuk is 0.6630. These results were shown that CIRG index is a reliable indicator for a none-destructive evaluation of the grape quality.

스마트 돈사 환경의 복지 및 생산성 향상을 위하여 정량 분석법을 기반으로 한 모돈 관리의 중요성이 증가하고 있다. 모돈은 교배, 임신, 분만, 포유, 이유를 순환적 반복하여 이루어지는데 모돈의 관리는 돈사 농장의 생산성 및 경제성과 직결된다. 모돈 관리에 필요한 환경 및 계측정보를 획득하고 이 정보로부터 모돈의 개체관리를 극대화시키고 최적의 방안을 찾고자 지속적으로 계측이 가능한 모돈의 돈사 모니터링 시스템이 필요하다. 모돈의 행동특성 계측이 가능한 시스템이 필요한 이유는 모돈의 행동 특성(섭식 및 지제불량 등)에 상응하는 대사 불량, 질병 및 발정 징후 등을 조기에 발견할 수 있기 때문이다. 돈사 내에서 정지 상태로 판별이 되는 모돈의 지제상태(기립상태, 누운 상태, 앉은 상태)와 다르게 연속적인 움직임으로부터 판별되는 모돈의 섭식상태를 분석하기 위해서는 계측 시스템과 이를 분석해주는 시스템간의 시간적 차이를 최소화 할 수 있는 실시간 신호 처리 기술이 필수적이다. 모돈의 섭식을 정량적으로 지수화하기 위한 센서의 최소 SPS(sample per second)는 600 Hz($100Hz{\times}6$개)로서 최소 6개 ADC 채널과 최소 1,200 Hz 이상으로 샘플링 할 수 있는 마이크로 컨트롤러가 필요하다. 또한 16 비트의 분해능으로 1분 동안 연속 계측을 수행할 경우 필요한 정보량은 153,600 KByte ($1,200sample/s{\times}16bit/sample{\times}8Byte/bit$)으로 실시간 처리를 수행하기에 매우 큰 정보량이라 판단할 수 있다. 수행하고자 하는 정보처리 기법에 따라 다소 상이할 수 있으나, 1분을 주기로 모돈의 섭식 분석을 수행하고자 할 경우 최도 150 MByte의 정보량을 처리하기 위한 최소의 클럭수는 단순 대입의 경우 2.5 Mhz (clock/second) ($=1clock/Byte{\times}150MByte/60seconds$) 이며 덧셈(4 clock)의 경우 10 Mhz, 곱셈(16 clock)의 경우 40 Mhz의 클럭이 필요하다. 또한 정보의 저장 및 도시를 위해 필요한 부가적인 회로(LCD, SD메모리) 구동을 위해 필요한 클럭을 고려할 경우 추가적인 클럭이 필요하다. 이를 종합적으로 고려하여 120 Mhz ($= 40Mhz{\times}3$) 이상의 클럭이 필요하다고 판단할 수 있다. 또한 센서 계측 주기의 시간 분해능을 균등하게 유지하기 위해선 계측->도시->저장의 과정을 교차적으로 수행해야 한다. 이러한 과정을 거처 최종적으로 선정한 마이크로 프로세서는 ARM Cortex-M4이며 168 MHz로 연산 수행이 가능하여 목표하고자 하는 신호처리를 수행 할 수 있다. 현장 예비 실험을 통해 기대 성능을 만족하였으며, 시간 복잡도가 높은 연산을 대비하여 최적 시분할 스케쥴링 기법에 대한 보완이 필요하다고 판단되었다.
