This paper deals with the design of robust DSMC (Discrete-Time Sliding Mode Control) scheme in order to overcome system uncertainty in steering system with mechanically joined structure. The proposed control scheme is one of robust control schemes based on system dynamics. Therefore, system dynamics required is not obtained from physical law but SCM (Signal Compression Method) through experiment in order to avoid complicate mathematical development and save time. However, SCM has a shortcoming that is the limitation of with $2^{nd}$ order linear model which does not include the dynamic of high-frequency band. Thus, considering system uncertainty, DSMC is designed. In addition, to reduce the chattering problem of DSMC, DSMC is derived from the reaching law and the Lyapunov stability condition. It is found that the proposed control scheme has robustness in spite of the perturbation of system uncertainty through computer simulation.

In 16 volunteers without clinical or laboratory evidence of liver disease, liver volume was determined using single-photon emission computed tomography(ECT). This technique provided excellent object contrast between the liver and its surroundings and permitted calculation of liver volume without geometric assumptions about the liver's configuration. Reproducibility of results was satisfactory, with a root-me an-square error of less than 2% between duplicate measurements in 16 individuals. The volume measurements were validated by the use of phantoms.

내장형 시스템은 데스크톱 시스템과 달리 메모리 사용상 큰 제한을 받는다. 자바 프로그램 실행을 위해서는 클래스 파일들이 메모리 상에 배치되어져야 하는데, 클래스 파일은 내부에 상수풀, 클래스 정보, 필드 정보, 그리고 메소드 정보 등을 갖는다. 이 정보들 중 어떤 것들은 디버깅 등의 목적으로 사용되며 또 어떤 것들은 실제 프로그램 실행을 위해 사용되어진다. 본 연구에서는 내장형 자바 시스템을 위한 클래스 파일들의 내부 정보, 즉 형식에 대해 분석해보고, 그것이 메모리 상에 배치되었을 때 요구되어지는 메모리의 양 둥을 해당 정보별로 조사해보았다. 실험은 원천코드가 공개되어져있는 상용제품인 simpleRTJ 내장형 자바 시스템에 대해 이루어졌다.

클라이언트에서 검색한 지도를 스크롤할 경우 이미 전송 딴은 객체를 캐슁하여 무선 데이터 전송량을 줄일 수 있지만, 클라이언트 내에서 데이터 좌표 변환, 선택적인 객체 삭제, 압축 단계가 부가적으로 요구된다. 특히 좌표 변환 연산은 모바일 휴대폰의 낮은 계산 능력, 적은 메모리 용량 등과 같은 제한적 자원으로 많은 시간이 요구된다. 따라서 휴대폰 기반 모바일 지도 서비스에서 효과적인 지도 제어 연산을 수행하기 위해서는 휴대폰의 제한적인 자원을 극복함과 동시에 무선 네트웍 대역폭을 줄이는 방안이 연구되어야 한다. 이 논문에서는 클라이언트-서버 시스템에서 이미 전송 딴은 객체의 효율적인 캐슁 기법을 제안하고자 한다. 또 캐슁된 데이터의 재이용과 원시 데이터의 재전송 방법의 장단점에 분석하고자 한다.

In this work, the scintillation properties of CsI:Na crystal were investigated as radiation detection sensor. This scintillation material was grown by a 2-zone vertical Bridgman method. Under X-ray excitation the crystal shows a broad emission band between 280 nm and 690 nm wavelength range, peaking at 413 nm. Energy resolution for $^{137}Cs$ 662 keV $\gamma$-rays of the crystal was measured to be 6.9 %(FWHM). At room temperature, the crystal exhibits three exponential decay time components. The fast and major component of scintillation time profile of the crystal emission decays with a 457 ns time constant. Absolute light yield of the crystal was estimated to be 53,000 ph/MeV using LAAPD. The sample crystal shows proportionality of 30 % in the measured energy range from 31 to 1,333 keV. And the $\alpha/\beta$ ratio of the crystal was 0.14.

PC 환경이 아닌 무선 인터넷 환경에서 제공되는 Mobile GIS(Geographic Information System)는 시간과 공간의 제약을 극복하고 실시간으로 지리정보를 얻을 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있으나, 사용자의 무선단말기와 서버 사이에 접속이 유지되어 있어야만 무선으로 GIS 서비스를 이용할 수 있다. 이는 현재 국내 무선 네트워크의 느린 속도와 비싼 이용 요금을 감안하면 Mobile GIS 가 대중화되는데 장애요인이 되고있다. 그리고 무선 인터넷 서비스가 급격히 증가하면서 Mobile GIS는 보안상 약점을 드러낼 것으로 예측된다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 공개된 불특정다수의 무선 네트워크 환경에서 발생할 수 있는 보안의 피해와 그에 따른 기본적 Mobile Security 서비스에 대해 알아보고, 정보보호 입장에서 Mobile Database 를 연구하였다. 또한 Mobile GIS 를 위한 WAP 게이트웨이에서 공간데이터의 유출 가능성을 발견하였고, 이를 위한 해결책으로 J2ME 의 Pre-verification 기능과 종단간 암호화 (End-to-End Security) 기능을 Mobile GIS 설계에 적용하여 무선 환경에서 동적인 지도서비스와 더불어 공간 데이터의 보안을 유지할 수 있는 기법을 제시하였다. 이 연구를 통해 대역폭(Bandwidth)의 한계를 지닌 개방적 무선환경에서 Mobile GIS와 같은 컨텐츠 프라이버시(Contents Privacy) 보호가 요구되는 분야에 응용될 수 있으리라 기대된다.

This study offers a Monte Carlo alternative for computing mass energy absorption coefficients of any material through calculation of photon energy deposited per mass of the sample and the energy flux obtained inside a sample volume. This approach is applied in this study to evaluate mass energy absorption coefficients of some amino acids found in human body at twenty-eight different photon energies between 10 keV and 20 MeV. The simulations involved a pencil beam source modeled to emit a parallel beam of mono-energetic photons toward a 1 mean free path thick sample of rectangular parallelepiped geometry. All the components in the problem geometry were surrounded by a 100 cm vacuum sphere to avoid any interactions in materials other than the absorber itself. The results computed using the Monte Carlo radiation transport packages MCNP6.2 and GAMOS5.1 were checked against the theoretical values available from the tables of XMUDAT database. These comparisons indicate very good agreement and support the conclusion that Monte Carlo technique utilized in this fashion may be used as a computational tool for determining the mass energy absorption coefficients of any material whose data are not available in the literature.

The mask parameters of a coded aperture are critical design features when optimizing the performance of a gamma-ray camera. In this paper, experiments and Monte Carlo simulations were performed to derive the minimum detectable activity (MDA) when one seeks a real-time imaging capability. First, the impact of the thickness of the modified uniformly redundant array (MURA) mask on the image quality is quantified, and the imaging of point, line, and surface radiation sources is demonstrated using both cross-correlation (CC) and maximum likelihood expectation maximization (MLEM) methods. Second, the minimum detectable activity is also derived for real-time imaging by altering the factors used in the image quality assessment, consisting of the peak-to-noise ratio (PSNR), the normalized mean square error (NMSE), the spatial resolution (full width at half maximum; FWHM), and the structural similarity (SSIM), all evaluated as a function of energy and mask thickness. Sufficiently sharp images were reconstructed when the mask thickness was approximately 2 cm for a source energy between 30 keV and 1.5 MeV and the minimum detectable activity for real-time imaging was 23.7 MBq at 1 m distance for a 1 s collection time.

The maximum dose delivery at the end of the beam range provides the main advantage of using proton therapy. The range of the proton beam, however, is subject to uncertainties, which limit the clinical benefits of proton therapy and, therefore, accurate in vivo verification of the beam range is desirable. For the beam range verification in spot scanning proton therapy, a prompt gamma detection system, called as gamma electron vertex imaging (GEVI) system, is under development and, in the present study, the performance of the GEVI system in spot scanning proton therapy was predicted with Geant4 Monte Carlo simulations in terms of shift detection sensitivity, accuracy and precision. The simulation results indicated that the GEVI system can detect the interfractional range shifts down to 1 mm shift for the cases considered in the present study. The results also showed that both the evaluated accuracy and precision were less than 1-2 mm, except for the scenarios where we consider all spots in the energy layer for a local shifting. It was very encouraging results that the accuracy and precision satisfied the smallest distal safety margin of the investigated beam energy (i.e., 4.88 mm for 134.9 MeV).

This paper introduces a novel concept of the pulsed neutron facility (PNF) for maximizing the production of the thermal neutrons and its application to medical use based on prompt gamma neutron activation analysis (PGNAA) using Monte Carlo simulations. The PNF consists of a compact D-T neutron generator, a graphite pile, and a detection system using Cadmium telluride (CdTe) detector arrays. The configuration of fuel pins in the graphite monolith and the design and materials for the moderating layer were studied to optimize the thermal neutron yields. Biological samples - normal and cancerous breast tissues - including chlorine, a trace element, were used to investigate the sensitivity of the characteristic γ-rays by neutron-trace material interactions and the detector responses of multiple particles. Around 90 % of neutrons emitted from a deuterium-tritium (D-T) neutron generator thermalized as they passed through the graphite stockpile. The thermal neutrons captured the chlorines in the samples, then the characteristic γ-rays with specific energy levels of 6.12, 7.80 and 8.58 MeV were emitted. Since the concentration of chlorine in the cancerous tissue is twice that in the normal tissue, the count ratio of the characteristic g-rays of the cancerous tissue over the normal tissue is approximately 2.
