목 적 : 전립선암의 방사선치료는 치료기법에 따라 주요장기와 정상조직의 선량분포에 차이가 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 전립선암 환자의 수술 후 방사선치료 시 직장풍선을 삽입한 환자에게 회전수를 달리한 용적변조회전치료(volumetric modulated arc therapy, VMAT)계획과 세기변조방사선치료(intensity modulated radiation therapy, IMRT)계획을 각각 수립하여 선량분포 특성을 비교하고 치료의 효율성을 평가하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 : 본원에서 전립선암 수술 후 방사선 치료를 시행한 10명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 직장풍선을 삽입한 환자의 CT영상을 3 mm 두께로 획득하고 Eclipse (Ver 11.0, Varian, Palo Alto, USA)를 사용하여 HD120MLC가 장착된 Truebeam STx (Varian, Palo Alto, USA)의 10 MV 에너지를 적용하였다. 환자마다 1 Arc, 2 Arc VMAT계획과 7조사면의 IMRT계획을 수립하였으며 각 치료계획의 선량체적제한과 plan normalization 값은 동일하게 적용하였다. 수립된 세 가지 치료계획을 평가하기위해 PTV의 coverage, conformity index (CI), homogeneity index (HI)를 비교하였고, PTV주변 정상조직의 선량퍼짐정도를 알아보기 위해 50% 등선량체적과 PTV체적의 비($R_{50%}$)를 산출하였다. 결정장기 (organ at risk, OAR)에서는 직장의 $D_{25%}$와 방광의 $D_{mean}$을 비교하였고 치료의 효율성을 평가하기 위해서 총 MU와 조사시간을 측정하였으며, 각 평가항목별 결과는 환자 10명의 평균값으로 비교분석하였다. 추가적으로 선량전달 정확도를 검증하기 위해 EPID를 이용한 portal dosimetry를 진행하였다. 결 과 : 각 치료계획에서 나타난 PTV coverage와 HI의 차이는 크지 않았지만 CI는 1A-VMAT, 2A-VMAT, 7F-IMRT에서 각각 1.036, 1.035, 1.230으로 VMAT에 비해 7F-IMRT가 높았고(p=0.00), $R_{50%}$는 3.083, 3.054, 3.991로 2A-VMAT이 제일 낮았고 7F-IMRT에서 가장 높게 나타났다(p=0.00). 치료계획에 따른 직장의 $D_{25%}$는 VMAT에서 비슷했지만 7F-IMRT가 약 7% 높게 나타났고(p=0.02), 방광의 $D_{mean}$은 큰 차이가 없었다(P>0.05). 총 MU는 1A-VMAT, 2A-VMAT, 7F-IMRT에서 각각 494.7, 479.7, 757.9로 7F-IMRT가 가장 많았고(p=0.00), 조사시간은 65.2초, 133.1초, 145.5초로 1A-VMAT이 확연히 짧았다(p=0.00). portal dosimetry 검증에서는 모든 치료계획에서 99.5% 이상의 gamma pass rate(2 mm, 2%)을 보였다(P=0.00). 결 론 : 본 연구결과 직장풍선을 삽입한 전립선암 환자의 수술 후 방사선치료 시, 치료기법에 따른 PTV coverage의 차이는 크지 않았지만 1A, 2A-VMAT이 7F-IMRT에 비해 정상조직과 직장선량을 낮추는데 효과적이었다. VMAT중에서는 $R_{50%}$와 MU가 2A-VMAT에서 다소 낮았지만 조사시간이 짧은 1A-VMAT이 치료에 더 효율적이며 환자의 치료 중 움직임 또한 줄일 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구에서는 InGaAs을 이용한 테라헤르쯔(THz) 발생과 검출 특성을 GaAs에 의한 특성과 비교, 조사하였다. 고온성장(HTG, $530^{\circ}C$) InGaAs를 이용하여 photo-Dember (pD) 효과(표면방출)에 의한 THz 발생 특성을 조사하였으며, THz 검출 특성에는 저온성장(LTG, $530^{\circ}C$) InGaAs: Be을 이용하였다. HTG-InGaAs 기판 위에 패턴한 금속전극 (Ti/Au, ${\sim}500{\times}500{\mu}m$)의 가장자리에 Ti: Sapphire fs 펄스 레이저(30 ps/90 MHz)를 조사하여 LTG-GaAs 수신기(Rx)로 THz를 검출, 전류신호(a)와 Fourier transform (FT) 주파수 스펙트럼(b)을 얻었다. HTG-InGaAs에서 얻은 파형은 SI-GaAs에서와 거의 비슷한 모양이었으나, 주파수 범위(0.5~2 THz)는 SI-GaAs의 1~3 THz 보다 좁고 FT 스펙트럼의 세기는 약 1/8 정도로 낮았다. LTG-InGaAs 수신기 (Rx)의 안테나는 쌍극자 ($5/20{\mu}m$) 형태를 가지고 있으며, SI-GaAs Tx로 발생시킨 광원을 사용하여 THz 영역의 검출 특성을 조사하였다. HTG-InGaAs Tx 및 LTG-InGaAs Rx의 이득은 각각 약 $5{\times}10^{-8}$ A/W과 $2.5{\times}10^{-8}$ A/W인 것으로 분석되었다.

This paper investigates the progressive collapse behavior of 3D steel-framed gravity buildings under fires with a cooling phase. The effect of fire protections and bracing systems on whether, how, and when a gravity building collapses is studied. It is found that whether a building collapses or not depends on the duration of the heating phase, and it may withstand a "short-hot" fire, but collapses under a mild fire or a "long-cool" fire. The collapse time can be conservatively determined by the time when the temperature of steel columns reaches a critical temperature of 550 ℃. It is also found that the application of a higher level of fire protection may prevent the collapse of a building, but may also lead to its collapse in the cooling phase due to the delayed temperature increment in the heated members. The tensile membrane action in a heated slab can be resisted by a tensile ring around its perimeter or by tensile yielding lines extended to the edge of the frame. It is recommended for practical design that hat bracing systems should be arranged on the whole top floor, and a combination of perimeter and internal vertical bracing systems be used to mitigate the fire-induced collapse of gravity buildings. It is also suggested that beam-to-column connections should be designed to resist high tensile forces (up to yielding force) during the cooling phase of a fire.

The design beam energy of PLS(Pohang Accelerator Laboratory) Linac is 2Gev. The linac employs total 11 units of modulators and klystrons. The maximum peak output powers of the modulators are 200MW (400kV, 500A, 4.4$\mu$S flat-top, 800$\Omega$ load) to drive the klystrons which have the peak microwave power of 80MW. Prior to the development of the 200MW modulators, a prototype 150MW modulator has been constructed and tested. We have achieved output pulses of 350kV, 420A and 3.5$\mu$S flat-top with 840$\Omega$ water load. In this article, the test results and computer simulations of charging, De-Q'ing, and discharging are presented.

The Canton Tower (formerly named Guangzhou New TV Tower) of 610 m high has been instrumented with a long-term structural health monitoring (SHM) system consisting of over 700 sensors of sixteen types. Under the auspices of the Asian-Pacific Network of Centers for Research in Smart Structures Technology (ANCRiSST), an SHM benchmark problem for high-rise structures has been developed by taking the instrumented Canton Tower as a host structure. This benchmark problem aims to provide an international platform for direct comparison of various SHM-related methodologies and algorithms with the use of real-world monitoring data from a large-scale structure, and to narrow the gap that currently exists between the research and the practice of SHM. This paper first briefs the SHM system deployed on the Canton Tower, and the development of an elaborate three-dimensional (3D) full-scale finite element model (FEM) and the validation of the model using the measured modal data of the structure. In succession comes the formulation of an equivalent reduced-order FEM which is developed specifically for the benchmark study. The reduced-order FEM, which comprises 37 beam elements and a total of 185 degrees-of-freedom (DOFs), has been elaborately tuned to coincide well with the full-scale FEM in terms of both modal frequencies and mode shapes. The field measurement data (including those obtained from 20 accelerometers, one anemometer and one temperature sensor) from the Canton Tower, which are available for the benchmark study, are subsequently presented together with a description of the sensor deployment locations and the sensor specifications.

Dynamic response of Pile Supported Structures is highly depended on Soil Pile Structure Interaction. In this paper, by comparison of experimental and numerical dynamic responses of a prototype jacket offshore platform for both hinge based and pile supported boundary conditions, effect of soil-pile-structure interaction on dynamic characteristics of this platform is studied. Jacket and deck of a prototype platform is installed on a hinge-based case first and then platform is installed on eight skirt piles embedded on continuum monolayer sand. Dynamic characteristics of platform in term of natural frequencies, mode shapes and modal damping are compared for both cases. Effects of adding and removing vertical bracing members in top bay of jacket on dynamic characteristics of platform for both boundary conditions are also studied. Numerical simulation of responses for the studied platform is also performed for both mentioned cases using capability of ABAQUS and SACS software. The 3D model using ABAQUS software is created using solid elements for soil and beam elements for jacket, deck and pile members. Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion and pile-soil interface element are used for considering nonlinear pile soil structure interaction. Simplified modeling of soil-pile-structure interaction effect is also studied using SACS software. It is observed that dynamic characteristics of the system changes significantly due to soil-pile-structure interaction. Meanwhile, both of complex and simplified (ABAQUS and SACS, respectively) models can predict this effect accurately for such platforms subjected to dynamic loading in small range of deformation.

Strengthening of existing old structures has traditionally been accomplished by using conventional materials and techniques, viz., externally bonded steel plates, steel or concrete jackets, etc. Alternatively, fibre reinforced polymer composite (FRPC) products started being used to overcome problems associated with conventional materials in the mid 1950s because of their favourable engineering properties. Effectiveness of FRPC materials has been demonstrated through extensive experimental research throughout the world in the last two decades. However there is a need to use refined analytical tools to simulate response of strengthened system. In this paper, an attempt has been made to develop a numerical model of strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) beams with FRPC laminates. Material models for RC beams strengthened with FRPC laminates are described and verified through a nonlinear finite element (FE) commercial code, with the help of available experimental data. Three dimensional (3D) FE analysis has been performed by assuming perfect bonding between concrete and FRPC laminate. A parametric study has also been performed to examine effects of various parameters like fibre type, stirrup's spacing, etc. on the strengthening system. Through numerical simulation, it has been shown that it is possible to predict accurately the flexural response of RC beams strengthened with FRPC laminates by selecting an appropriate material constitutive model. Comparisons are made between the available experimental results in literature and FE analysis results obtained by the present investigators using load-deflection and load-strain plots as well as ultimate load of the strengthened beams. Furthermore, evaluation of crack patterns from FE analysis and experimental failure modes are discussed at the end.

It is well known that water jetting is now widely used in the advanced cutting processes of polymers, metals, glass, ceramics, and composite materials because of some advantages, such as heatless and non-contacting cutting different from the laser beam machining. In this paper, we proposed the simulation model of waterjet by lengths and the inner spiral structure of the nozzle. The simulation results show that the outlet velocity of the nozzle is faster than the inlet. Furthermore, we found rapid velocity reduction after passing through the outlet. The nozzle of diameter ${\phi}500$ and length 70mm, shows the optimal fluid width and velocity distribution. Also, the nozzle with inner spiral structure shows a Gaussian distribution of velocity and this model is almost twice as fast as the model without spiral structure, within the effective standoff distance (2.5 mm). In the future, when inserting abrasive material into the waterjet, we plan to analyze the fluid flow and the particle behavior through a simulation model.
