Background: In case of radiation emergencies, internal exposure monitoring for the members of public will be required to confirm internal contamination of each individual. In-vivo monitoring technique using portable gamma spectrometer can be easily applied for internal exposure monitoring in the vicinity of the on-site area. Materials and Methods: In this study, minimum detectable doses (MDDs) for $^{134}Cs$, $^{137}Cs$, and $^{131}I$ were calculated adjusting minimum detectable activities (MDAs) from 50 to 1,000 Bq to find out the optimal in-vivo counting condition. DCAL software was used to derive retention fraction of Cs and I isotopes in the whole body and thyroid, respectively. A minimum detect-able level was determined to set committed effective dose of 0.1 mSv for emergency response. Results and Discussion: We found that MDDs at each MDA increased along with the elapsed time. 1,000 Bq for $^{134}Cs$ and $^{137}Cs$, and 100 Bq for $^{131}I$ were suggested as optimal MDAs to provide in-vivo monitoring service in case of radiation emergencies. Conclusion: In-vivo monitoring program for emergency response should be designed to achieve the optimal MDA suggested from the present work. We expect that a reduction of counting time compared with routine monitoring program can achieve the high throughput system in case of radiation emergencies.

MDDS는 디스크 시스템의 성능을 향상시키기 위해 하이퍼큐브의 각 노드에 디스크 블록들을 분산 저장하며, 인접한 노드에서 분산 저장하고 있는 디스크 블록을 중복 저장하고 있는 디스크 시스템이다. 본 논문에서는 디스크 서비스 시간을 분석하기 위한 선행 연구로서 소스 노드에서 생성된 디스크 서비스 요구 메시지가 디스크 서비스를 제공하는 목적 노드에 수신될 때까지의 시간인 전송 시간을 분석한다. 이러한 메시지의 전송 시간을 분석하기 위해 이 메시지가 링크를 통해 전송되지 못하고 대기할 확률인 전송 대기 확률을 분석한다. 이들 메시지의 전송 대기 확률을 분석하기 위해 메시지가 각 링크에서 전송되지 못하고 대기해야 하는 시간인 전송 대기 시간을 분석한다. 또 디스크 서비스 요구 메시지의 전송을 위해 링크가 사용되는 비를 분석하며, 메시지의 전송 대기 확률, 전송 대기 시간, 메시지 전송을 위해 링크가 사용될 비를 이용하여 디스크 서비스 요구 메시지의 전송 시간을 분석한다. Abstract Mirrored Declustering Disk System(MDDS) is the disk system to enhance the performance of disk system for hypercube. In MDDS, each node stores the disk blocks using the declustering technique. And the node also duplicates the disk blocks stored in neighboring nodes. In this paper, as the leading research for analyzing the disk service time, we analyze the transmission time of the disk service request message from the source node to the destination node. To analyze the transmission time of disk service request message, we analyze the probability of blocking the message related to the disk service request. For the analysis of the blocking probability, we analyze the blocking time at the link. We also analyze the rate at which the transmission link is used for transferring the disk service requests. And we analyze the transmission time of disk service request message by using the blocking probability, the blocking time, and the usage rate of link for transmitting the message.
