We aimed to evaluate the dosimetric characteristics of reproducibility, linearity and dose dependence of optical stimulated luminance dosimeter (OSLD) in the Co-60 Gamma-rays and to analyze with a precedent study in field of the diagnostic radiography and radiotherapy. The reproducibility was 0.76% of the coefficient of variation, the homogeneity was within 1.5% of the coefficient of variation and OSLD had supra-linear response more than 3 Gy. So the correlation between dose and count was fitted by quadratic function. The count depletion by repeated reading was 0.04% per reading regardless of the irradiated dose. And the half time of decay curve according to the irradiated dose was 0.68 min. with 1 Gy, 1.04 min. with 5 Gy, and 1.10 min. with 10 Gy, respectively. In case of annealing for 30 min, the removal rate was 88% with 1 Gy, 90% with 5 Gy, and 92% with 10 Gy, respectively and 99% in case of annealing time for 4 hour. It is feasible to use OSLDs for dose evaluation in Co-60 Gamma-rays when considering the uncertainty on the procedure according to the irradiated dose.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate dosimetric characteristics of Optically stimulated luminescent dosimeters (OSLD) for dosimetry Materials and Methods: InLight/OSL $NanoDot^{TM}$ dosimeters was used including $Inlight^{TM}MicroStar$ Reader, Solid Water Phantom, and Linear accelerator ($TRYLOGY^{(R)}$) OSLDs were placed at a Dmax in a solid water phantom and were irradiated with 100 cGy of 6 MV X-rays. Most irradiations were carried out using an SSD set up 100 cm, $10{\times}10\;cm^2$ field and 300 MU/min. The time dependence were measured at 10 minute intervals. The dose dependence were measured from 50 cGy to 600 cGy. The energy dependence was measured for nominal photon beam energies of 6, 15 MV and electron beam energies of 4-20 MeV. The dose rate dependence were also measured for dose rates of 100-1,000 MU/min. Finally, the PDD was measured by OSLDs and Ion-chamber. Results: The reproducibility of OSLD according to the Time flow was evaluated within ${\pm}2.5%$. The result of Linearity of OSLD, the dose was increased linearly up to about the 300 cGy and increased supralinearly above the 300 cGy. Energy and dose rate dependence of the response of OSL detectors were evaluated within ${\pm}2%$ and ${\pm}3%$. $PDD_{10}$ and PDD20 which were measured by OSLD was 66.7%, 38.4% and $PDD_{10}$ and $PDD_{20}$ which were measured by Ion-chamber was 66.6%, 38.3% Conclusion: As a result of analyzing characteration of OSLD, OSLD was evaluated within ${\pm}3%$ according to the change of the time, enregy and dose rate. The $PDD_{10}$ and $PDD_{20}$ are measured by OSLD and ion-chamber were evaluated within 0.3%. The OSL response is linear with a dose in the range 50~300 cGy. It was possible to repeat measurement many times and progress of the measurement of reading is easy. So the stability of the system and linear dose response relationship make it a good for dosimetry.

Purpose: T1-201 SPECT has been used in differentiating benign and malignant pulmonary lesions. While its sensitivity may be high, the specificity and predictive values are reported to be variable depending on the type of benign lung lesion. The purpose of this study was to prospectively assess the efficacy of T1-201 SPECT for differentiating benign and malignant single pulmonary lesion in a population with a high prevalence of benign pulmonary lesion, especially, tuberculosis. Materials and Methods: One-hundred thirty-three patients, having 89 malignant and 44 benign lesions(23 active tuberculosis, 5 inactive tuberculosis, 3 aspergil-loma, 3 focal pneumonia, 2 thymoma, and 8 others), were imaged using a dual-headed system at 15 minute(early) and 3 hour (delayed) following administration of 111MBq T1-201. The images were read visually and lesion-to-background ratios(L/B) were obtained from transverse tomographic slices. Retention index was expressed as [(delayed L/B- early L/B) $\div$ early L/B]. Results: 82/89(92%) and 83/89(93%) of the malignant lesions were visually positive on the early and delayed images, and 27/44(61%) and 26/44(59%) of the benign lesions were also visually positive on both images. Although a statistically significant difference was found between the mean L/B's of the malignant and benign lesions, L/B was not useful for differentiating the two due to a large overlap. There was no difference in retention indices. Conclusion: Despite of its high sensitivity, the specificity of T1-201 SPECT was unacceptably low in patients with active benign lesions. The positive and negative predictive values for lung cancer in a population with a high prevalence of the benign single pulmonary lesion was only marginal.

Broadcast disks are suited for disseminating information to a large number of clients in mobile computing environments. In broadcast disks, the server continuously and repeatedly broadcasts all data items in the database to clients without specific requests. The clients monitor the broadcast channel and retrieve data items as they arrive on the broadcast channel. The broadcast channel then becomes a disk from which clients can retrieve data items. In this paper, we propose a cache conscious concurrency control ($C^4$) scheme to preserve the consistency of client transactions, when the values of broadcast data items are updated at the server. $C^4$ scheme is novel in the sense that it can reduce the response time of client transactions with minimal control information to be broadcast from the server. This is achieved by the judicious caching strategy of the clients.

최근에는 여행에 대한 각종 정보가 많이 공유되는 추세이다. 최근 사람들은 소셜 네트워크 서비스를 이용 중이거나 웹 서핑을 하는 도중에 기억하고 싶어 하는 여행지를 단순히 캡처 해놓거나 메모장에 기록해둔다. 이러한 방법은 시간이 지나 많은 데이터가 쌓이면 관리하기 어렵다는 문제가 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 사용자의 편리를 고려하여 사진의 텍스트를 광학식 문자 판독을 활용하여 출력하고 게시 글 형태로 저장할 수 있게 개발하였다. 명소의 위치 또한 자동완성 위치 검색 라이브러리를 통하여 편리 저장이 가능하다. 위치 데이터를 통해 향후 사용자가 근접하고 있는 여행지 또한 제공해줄 수 있도록 구현하였다. 이를 위하여 웹을 통해서 이용할 수도 있으며 실시간 검색과 알림 이벤트를 위해 웹 주소 입력 없이도 앱을 실행할 수 있는 프로그래시브웹 앱을 구현하였다.

This paper proposes an efficient centralized sin91e buffer management algorithm to arbitrate access contention mon processors on the multi-processor system for high-speed Packet filtering and proves that the algorithm provides reasonable performance by implementing it and applying it to a real multi-processor system. The multi-processor system for parallel packet filtering is modeled based on a network processor to distribute the packet filtering rules throughout the processors to speed up the filtering. In this paper we changed the number of processors and the processing time of the filtering rules as variables and measured the packet transfer rates to investigate the performance of the proposed algorithm.

Korea has more than 2,000 fires and more than 2,000 casualties every year. This study takes measures to facilitate the incorporation of 119 fire trucks by judging vehicles or standing signs using real-time image reading YOLO5 before the fire trucks arrive at the fire site. It is possible to shorten the time to extinguish a fire by photographing a fire site, transmitting the situation of the site, and analyzing the components of smoke to determine the type of fire. As a result, it is expected that it will be able to minimize casualties by keeping the golden time.

폐색전증(Pulmonary Embolism : PE)은 사망률이 높은 질환중 하나이다. 초기에 정확한 진단 및 치료를 시행하는 경우 사망과 재발의 경우가 흔치 않으나 지연 진단이 일어나는 경우 사망률은 높기 때문에 보다 정확하고 빠른 검사법이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 폐색전증 환자의 흉부 CT 데이터를 가지고 딥러닝 알고리즘을 생성하여 소프트웨어를 구현하고자 한다. 개발된 딥러닝 기반의 폐색전증 진단 보조 소프트웨어는 CT 촬영 후 즉각적인 질환 예측으로 판독 시간의 단축과 효율성을 제공할 것으로 기대된다.

Existing method of landuse classification using aerial photographs or field survey requires relatively higher amount of time and cost due to necessary manual work. Especially in urban area where the pattern of landuse is densely aggregated, a landuse classification using satellite image is more complex. In this background, this study proposes a landuse classification method to utilize 1:1,000 digital topographic data and IKONOS satellite image. To prove the possibility of this method, the method was applied to Seoul metropolitan area. The results shows the total accuracy of approximately 95% and 14 landuse classes extracted. Based on the results from the pilot study, this method is applicable to landuse classification in urban area.
