For the treatment of superficial tumors like squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, 6 MV photon beam is not appropriate and a spoiler is widely used to increase dose in the buildup region, while preserving the skin sparing effect. However, commercially available treatment planning systems assume a normal unspoiled beam, thereby cannot predict the buildup dose with spoiler accurately. We aimed to implement a Monte Carlo (MC) based planning system to apply it to the radiation treatment of head and neck. Lucite with thickness of 10-mm was used for the beam spoiler with Siemens Primus 6 MV photon beam. BEAM/DOSXYZ MC system was employed to model the linac and the spoiler. To verify the calculation accuracy of MC simulations, the percent depth doses (PDDs) and profiles with and without spoiler were measured using a parallel-plate chamber. For the MC based planning, we adopted a hybrid interface system between Pinnacle (Philips, USA) and BEAM/DOSXYZ to support treatment parameters of Siemens linac and the spoiler. The measurements of PDDs and profiles agreed with the corresponding MC simulations within 2% (lSD), which demonstrate the reliability of our MC simulations. The spoiler generated electrons make a contribution to the absorbed dose up to depth of 2cm, which shows that the dominant source of increased dose from spoiler system is the contaminating electrons created by the spoiler. The whole procedures necessary for MC based treatment planning were performed seamlessly between Pinnacle and BEAM/DOSXYZ system. This ability helps to increase the clinical efficiency of the spoiler technique. In conclusion, we implemented a MC based treatment planning system for a 6 MV photon beam with a spoiler. We demonstrate sophisticated MC technique makes it possible to predict dose distributions around buildup region accurately.

전자 토모그래피의 첫 단계인 2차원 투시영상의 획득 과정에서 발생하는 잡음 중 영상형식과 입사빔 값의 영향이 토모그램에 미치는 영향을 모델링 시뮬레이션을 통해 평가하였다. 사용된 두 가지의 모델은 타원체의 흡수계수 차이가 매우 적은 원래의 3D head phantom 모델과, 흡수계수의 차이가 40% 이상인 수정된 3D head phantom 모델이다. 흡수계수의 차이가 매우 적은 모델에서 8-bit 영상형식을 사용한 토모그램 결과가 매우 큰 잡음들로 인해 심하게 왜곡되어 나타났으며, 흡수계수의 차이가 큰 모델에서는 영상 형식의 차이가 큰 영향을 주지 않았다. 비어의 법칙을 무시하고 투과빔 값을 그대로 사용한 경우는 흡수계수의 차이가 매우 적은 경우 토모그램은 심각하게 왜곡되었다. 흡수계수가 큰 경우에도 z축 방향을 따라 바깥쪽에 잡음이 심하게 나타났다. 비어의 법칙에 따라 입사빔 값을 취하더라도 잘못된 값을 넣게 되면 흡수계수의 차이가 매우 적을 경우 다소 왜곡된 토모그램을 얻었으며, 흡수계수의 차이가 큰 경우에도 심한 잡음을 유발하는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 구별이 힘든 내부 구조를 3차원적으로 재구성하는 토모그래피 본래의 특성을 최대한 살리기 위해서는 정화한 입사빔 값을 비어의 법칙에 따라 취하되, 가능한 한 16-bit 영상 형식으로 처리하여야 영상의 왜곡이나 작위적인 결과를 만들지 않고 토모그램의 분해능을 저하시키는 잡음도 감소시킬 수 있다.

This paper presents an approach to optimally design the air-hearing surface (ABS) of the optical flying head for near-field recording technology (NFR) NFR is an optical recording technology using very small beam spot size by overcoming the limit of beam diffraction. One of the most important problems in NFR Is a head disk interface (HDI) issue over the recording band during the operation. A multi-criteria optimization problem is formulated to enhance the flying performances over the entire recording band during the steady state. The optimal solution of the slider, whose target flying height is 50 nm, is automatically obtained. The flying height during the steady state operation becomes closer to the target values than those for the Initial one. The pitch and roll angles are also kept within suitable ranges over the recording band. Especially. all of the all-hearing stiffness are drastically increased by the optimized geometry of the air hearing surface.

Recent advances in radiation transport algorithms, computer hardware performance, and parallel computing make the clinical use of Monte Carlo based dose calculations possible. Monte Carlo treatment planning requires accurate beam information as input to generate accurate dose distributions. The procedures to obtain this accurate beam information are called "commissioning", which includes accelerator head modeling. In this study, we would like to investigate how much accurately Monte Carlo based dose calculations can predict the measured beam data in various conditions. The Siemens 6MV photon beam and the BEAM Monte Carlo code were used. The comparisons including the percentage depth doses and off-axis profiles of open fields and wedges, output factors will be presented.

First, three point bending analysis for the inclined press door impact beam was carried out to investigate inclination angle effect on the maximum strength with varying support distance. Next, for the system model with spring elements representing body stiffness at door mounting area, the bending structural behavior of impact beam mounted on vehicle was estimated. The mounting distance and inclination angle were changed and the beam bending buckling strength was presumed at the head displacement below which spring stiffness change has little effect on the load. Finally strength ratio to predict the bending buckling strength of impact beam mounted on vehicle from three point bending maximum strength of fixed support distance was suggested.

The aim of this research was to the experimental data using statistical and spectral analyzing method to get the motion reponses of a stern trawler in operation states such as drifting, sailing and trawling according to the wave height. In drifting, the significant and the maximum valuer of roll in beam sea increased according to the wave height, but those of pitch decreased. The response and the period of peak of roll in beam sea were increased, but those of pitch decreased. In navigation, the significant and maximum values of roll increased remarkably according to the wave height, but those of pitch changed a little. The response of roll was highest in quartering sea, beam sea and then following sea, but those of pitch was highest in bow sea, head sea and then beam sea in the order of all wave heights. The period of peak of roll due to the wave height and the wave direction changed from 3.8 to 9.9 seconds, and those of pitch changed from 3.3 to 10.4 seconds. In trawling, the significant and maximum values of roll increased a little according to the wave height, but those of pitch increased significantly. The response of roll was highest in beam sea, bow sea and then quartering sea, but those of pitch was highest in head sea, following sea, and then beam sea in the order. The period of peak of roll due to the wave height and the direction changed from 6.6 to 10.9 seconds, and those of pitch changed from 6.7 to 11.2 seconds.

치료방사선 선형가속기에서 출력되는 광자선의 선속 (flux)에는 gantry head로부터 발생되는 오염전자를 포함하고 있으며, 오염전자의 발생은 주로 gantry head의 부속장비 또는 방사선 치료를 위해 gantry head 밑에 설치되는 부속장치 등에서 광자선과 매질의 전자쌍생성, 또는 컴프톤 산란전자 등의 물리적 현상으로 발생된다. 오염전자는 표면영역의 수cm 깊이의 선량 분포에 영향을 주고 있으며, 이것은 방사선 치료 시 skin-sparing 효과를 감소시키는 등 임상적인 측면에 영향을 주고 있다. 그러므로 선형가속기에서 발생되는 오염전자의 특성을 이해 할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 선형가속기 (Clinac 1800, Varian )에서 출력되는 15MV 광자 선속에서 조사야의 크기가 0.0$\times$10.0 to 30.0$\times$30.0 $\textrm{cm}^2$에서 30.0$\times$30.0 $\textrm{cm}^2$ 대해 구리판(Cu)의 부분적 오염전자 제거 능력과, 조사야의 부분 차폐 방법을 이용하여 물팬톰 내의 선량분포의 변화를 측정하므로써 오염전자의 특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과 오염전자는 조사야의 중심축으로부터 넓게 퍼진 cone 모양의 분포를 하고 있었으며, 또한 오염전자가 갖는 평균 에너지는 약 3.0MeV로 나타났다. 그러므로 오염전자는 표면으로부터 2.5cm 깊이까지 분포하였다. 이러한 결과로써 광자선속에 포함된 오염전자를 제거하고 순수한 광자선을 이용한다면 buildup 영역 및 표면선량이 감소되고, 최대선량지점이 좀더 깊어진다.

In this paper, we have proposed a novel process using two-step electron beam lithography to fabricate 20 nm T-gates for high performance MODFETs. Two-step lithography reduces electron forward scattering by defining the foot on a thin (100 nm) bottom-layer of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) at the second step, the T-gate head having been developed at the first step. Adopting a low temperature development technique for the second step reduces the detrimental effect of head exposure on foot definition. We have shown that 20 nm T-gate can be patterned with this process.
