It is difficult to determine dosimetric characteristics for small field photon beams since such small fields do not achieve complete lateral electronic equilibrium and have steep dose gradients. Dosimetric characteristics of small field 4, 6, and 10 MeV photon beams have been measured in water with a diamond detector and compared to measurements using small volume cylindrical and plane parallel ionization chambers. Percent depth dose (PDD) and beam profiles for 6 and 10 MeV photon beams were measured with diamond detector and cylindrical ion chamber for small fields ranging from $1{\times}1\;to\;4{\times}4cm^2$. Total scatter factors($S_{c,p}$) for 4, 6, and 10 MeV photon beams were measured with diamond detector, cylindrical and plane parallel ion chambers for small fields ranging from $1{\times}1\;to\;4{\times}4cm^2$. The $S_{c,p}$ factors obtained with three detectors for 4, 6, and 10 MeV photon beams agreed well ($\pm1.2%$) for field sizes greater than $2{\times}2,\;2.5{\times}2.5,\;and\;3{\times}3\;cm^2$, respectively. For smaller field sizes, the cylindrical and plane parallel ionization chambers measure a smaller $S_{c,p}$ factor, as a result of the steep dose gradients across their sensitive volumes. The PDD values obtained with diamond detector and cylindrical ionization chamber for 6 and 10MeV photon beams agreed well ($\pm1.5%$) for field sizes greater than $4{\times}4\;cm^2$. For smaller field sizes, diamond detector produced a depth-dose curve which had a significantly shallower falloff than that obtained from the measurements of relative depth-dose with a cylindrical ionization chamber. For the measurements of beam profiles, a distortion in terms of broadened penumbra was observed with a cylindrical ionization chamber since diamond detector exhibited higher spatial resolution. The diamond detector with small sensitive volume, near water equivalent, and high spatial resolution is suitable detector compared to ionization chambers for the measurements of small field photon beams.

Monochromatic X-ray can make a medical image of high contrast under a low radiation dose and can be easily generated by combining an X-ray tube and a multilayer mirror. A W/C multilayer mirror was optimally designed for a characteristic X-ray generated from a X-ray tube with Mo target. The d-spacing and the thickness ratio in design parameters were determined under the maximum-reflectivity condition. Tolerances for deposition and alignment of the W/C multilayer mirror were calculated. Within a deposition tolerance of 0.2nm and a alignment tolerance of ${\pm}0.01^{\circ}$, 85% of the theoretical peak reflectivity could be achieved. A multilayer mirror can be widely used for making medical images because of generating high fluence monochromatic X-ray.

An airship is statically unstable, because it has no wing, relatively small tails and a large hull. Hence, an accurate prediction of dynamic stability is critical. In this study, dynamic stability data of the 50m Length Airship were acquired through forced oscillation wind tunnel tests. The tests were done in Birhle Applied Research Inc's Lange Amplitude Multi-Purpose(BAR LAMP) Facility located in Germany. The tests were composed with 16 static runs and 26 dynamic runs. As results, it is obtained that dynamic characteristics of the airship depend on the sideslip angle, the angular rate and its direction as well as the angle of attack. Generally, three directional moments have damping, but the normal force, the side force, and the cross-derivatives are unstable. The dynamic derivatives are not sensitive to the control surfaces, but nonlinear to the sideslip angle.

An auxiliary real-time train communications system among drivers, train-traffic controllers and field workers is necessary to share hazard information (i.e. rockfall detection, track maintenance) in low visibility zones (long tunnels and steep curved track). To develop the appropriate communication system, this paper proposes a new way of power line communication using the rail track (Rail - PLC), which has little noise and distortion of attenuation. Therefore, it is important to measure the impedance of the rail and to apply an impedance matching technique to increase the transmission characteristic of the Rail - PLC. This study would evaluate the reflection and the transmission characteristics of the rail using a network analyzer and an impedance matching transformer. The suitable impedance matching ratio was 1:3.28 from the result of back-to-back testing. The results confirmed that the transformer can improve the performance of the transmission signal in Rail - PLC using an impedance matching technique.

In order to meet the ever-increasing demand for international air travel, several plans are underway to open new airports and expand existing provincial airports. However, existing air demand forecasts have been based on the total air demand in Korea or the air demand among major cities. There is not much forecast of regional air demand considering local characteristics. In this study, the outbound air travel demand in the southeastern region of Korea was analyzed and the fixed-effects model using panel data was proposed as an optimal model that can reflect the inherent characteristics of metropolitan areas which are difficult to observe in reality. The results of model validation show that panel data analysis effectively addresses the spurious regression and unobserved heterogeneity that are difficult to handle in a model using only a few macroeconomic indicators with time series characteristics. Various statistical validation and conformance tests suggest that the fixed-effects model proposed in this study is superior to other econometric models in predicting demand for international demand in the southeastern region.

This study aims to help the creative idea of nail art design and the expansion of artistic realm by presenting nail art applied with dot, line, and plane, which are the basic elements of the sculpture that make up the space for visual expression of nail art. The research method considered the concepts and characteristics of the molding elements through professional books, prior research, and Internet website. Along with various expression techniques, the characteristics of dot, line, and plane were applied to nail art and expressed as visual messages, and a total of six works were produced according to each characteristic. This research aims to find a new perspective on nail art expression by reinterpreting the characteristics of dot, line, and plane, which are formative elements, in an artistic approach, and to contribute to enhancing the infinite possibilities of nail art design by utilizing them.

본 논문에서는 44V AC 및 DC전원에서 직렬아크에 의한 전선 접속부에서의 산화물 성장 특성에 대하여 실험, 분석하였다. 실험에 사용된 전선은 동전선과 황동선으로 각각 지름 1.0mm을 사용하였으며, 교류의 경우 3가지 접속조건, 직류의 경우 4가지의 접속 조건으로 하여 전선 접촉면에서 직렬아크가 발생하였을 때 2A, 3A, 4A의 전류에서 산화물의 성장 특성과 접촉면 양단의 전압강하 변화, 산화물의 성장 길이 및 방향, 온도 분포 등에 대하여 분석하였다. 실험, 분석결과, 동전선과 동전선의 접속에서 가장 산화물의 성장이 잘 이루어짐을 볼 수 있었으며, 교류에서는 접촉면을 중심으로 좌우로, 직류에서는 접촉면을 중심으로 +극(양극) 방향으로만 산화물이 성장함을 볼 수 있었다. 본 연구 결과는 AC 및 DC 전원에서의 전기안전을 위한 기술 자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

A forest fire in the area of power line installations may be caused by flashover disturbances in power systems. In this study, experiments were conducted so as to investigate the reduction in dielectric strength caused by combustion flame, and flashover characteristics in the simulated condition of vertical-type model power lines were examined by making shorter and longer the horizontal distance(s) between combustion flame and high-voltage conductors under the application of 60[Hz] a.c. and d.c. high-voltages. As the results of the experimental investigation it is demonstrated that flame can reduce flashover voltages of the model air-gap in shorter range of the horizontal distance(s). Relative air density is considered in order to analyze the reduction causes of the flashover voltages, and it can be seen that the relative air density has a great influence on the flashover characteristics under the presence of combustion flame.

수소 라이먼 알파선은 관측이 어려운 외부은하의 성간 물질이나 성운 주위의 물질의 운동학적, 기하학적 상태를 알려주는 지표이다. 특히 라이먼 알파 방출 스펙트럼의 두 최고점에서 측정한 선속도 차이(Vsep)는 물질의 수축, 팽창 여부에 영향을 받기 때문에 은하의 역학적 특성을 연구하는 데에 있어 새로운 도구로서 각광받고 있다. 이 연구에서는 복사유체역학 시뮬레이션 코드 RAMSES-RT를 이용하여, 다양한 물리량을 가진 은하가 만드는 라이먼 알파선 특성을 분석하였다. 은하 내 기체 함량 및 중원소 함량비를 다르게 하였으며, 각 시뮬레이션들은 몬테-카를로 공진선 복사전달 코드 RASCAS를 이용하여 라이먼 알파선의 복사 과정을 계산하였다. 그 결과, 거대분자운 시뮬레이션 대비(Kimm et al. 2019) Vsep이 크게 증가하였으며 (약 150->300km/s), 관측되는 은하들 수준의 Vsep이 재현되는 것을 확인하였다. 은하의 중원소 함량비가 증가한 경우, 은하 내 먼지량과 젊은 별들이 거대분자운에 머무는 시간이 늘어나기 때문에 기준 은하와 비교하여 선속도 차이가 작아졌으며(Vsep~270km/s), 은하의 기체 함량을 증가시켰을 때는 산란 횟수 증가로 인하여 선속도 차이가 증가함(약 345km/s)을 확인할 수 있었다. 합병하는 은하의 경우, 성간물질의 역학적 상태를 극적으로 만든다고 알려져 있음에도 불구하고, 고립된 은하와 비슷한 정도의 산란 특성을 보였다. 마지막으로 시뮬레이션 상에서 강하게 발달하지 않는 중성상태의 은하주변물질의 존재가 선속도차이 예측에 미치는 영향에 대해서 토론하고자 한다.
