The conventional wind and twisted-wind effect on aerodynamic properties of neighboring buildings arranged in side-by-side and tandem systems at 2B and 5B spacings are systematically investigated by large eddy simulation. Different physical interactions between different wind profiles and neighboring buildings will be deeply understood. The neighboring-building system under two different types of wind profiles, i.e., conventional wind profile (CWP), twisted wind profiles (TWP) with the maximum twisted angle of 30°, is used to evaluate the variation of physical mechanism between wind and buildings. Aerodynamic characteristics including mean and RMS pressure coefficient, and velocity field were systematically analyzed and compared between different scenario. It was found that the distribution of mean pressure, root-mean-square x velocity and the streamline of wind flow for TWP greatly deviated from CWP, and the effect of TWP on the downstream building, was drastically different from that of CWP, such as the size of vortexes after the lower stream building being bigger when exposed to TWP, and the mean pressure distribution on the building surfaces are also different. Moreover, evidence of buildings arranged in side-by-side and tandem configurations having interchangeable properties under TWP was also discovered, that two buildings being arranged side-by-side exposed to TWP could be identified as being arranged in tandem with a different wind twist angle, or vice versa.

Background: Dental anxiety is a matter of serious concern to pediatric dentists as it may impede the efficient delivery of dental care. If not adequately resolved, a persistent negative response pattern may emerge. Thaumaturgy, commonly known as magic trick, has become popular recently. It is a tool that distracts and relaxes the child by using magic trick while the dentist performs necessary treatment. Hence, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Thaumaturgic aid in alleviation of anxiety in 4-6 - year-old children during administration of local anesthesia using the inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) technique. Methods: Thirty children aged between 4-6 years with dental anxiety requiring IANB were included in this study. Patients were divided equally into two groups: Group I, thaumaturgic aid group and Group II, conventional non-pharmacological group using randomization. Anxiety was measured before and after using the intervention with Raghavendra Madhuri Sujata-Pictorial scale (RMS-PS), Venham's anxiety rating scale, and pulse rate. All the data were tabulated and compared using statistical analysis. Results: Children in thaumaturgy group (Group- I) exhibited significantly lower anxiety during IANB in comparison with children in the conventional group (Group- II) and the difference was statistically significant. Conclusion: Magic tricks are effective in reducing anxiety among young children during IANB; Moreover, it expands the arsenal of behavior guidance techniques for treatment of children with anxiety and plays an important role in shaping the behavior of a child in pediatric dentistry.

Buildings, bridges, and dams are examples of civil infrastructure that play an important role in public life. These structures are prone to structural variations over time as a result of external forces that might disrupt the operation of the structures, cause structural integrity issues, and raise safety concerns for the occupants. Therefore, monitoring the state of a structure, also known as structural health monitoring (SHM), is essential. Owing to the emergence of the fourth industrial revolution, next-generation sensors, such as wireless sensors, UAVs, and video cameras, have recently been utilized to improve the quality and efficiency of building forensics. This study presents a method that uses a target-based system to estimate the dynamic displacement and its corresponding dynamic properties of structures using UAV-based video. A laboratory experiment was performed to verify the tracking technique using a shaking table to excite an SDOF specimen and comparing the results between a laser distance sensor, accelerometer, and fixed camera. Then a field test was conducted to validate the proposed framework. One target marker is placed on the specimen, and another marker is attached to the ground, which serves as a stationary reference to account for the undesired UAV movement. The results from the UAV and stationary camera displayed a root mean square (RMS) error of 2.02% for the displacement, and after post-processing the displacement data using an OMA method, the identified natural frequency and damping ratio showed significant accuracy and similarities. The findings illustrate the capabilities and reliabilities of the methodology using UAV to evaluate the dynamic properties of structures.

European Space Agency's Sentinel-1 has an improved spatial and temporal resolution, as compared to previous satellite data such as Envisat Advanced SAR (ASAR) or Advanced Scatterometer (ASCAT). Thus, the assumption used for low-resolution retrieval algorithms used by ENVISAT ASAR or ASCAT is not applicable to Sentinel-1, because a higher degree of land surface heterogeneity should be considered for retrieval. The assumption of homogeneity over land surface is not valid any more. In this study, considering that soil roughness is one of the key parameters sensitive to soil moisture retrievals, various approaches are discussed. First, soil roughness is spatially inverted from Sentinel-1 backscattering over Yanco sites in Australia. Based upon this, Artificial Neural Networks data (feedforward multiplayer perception, MLP, Levenberg-Marquadt algorithm) are compared with Fractal approach (brownian fractal, Hurst exponent of 0.5). When using ANNs, training data are achieved from theoretical forward scattering models, Integral Equation Model (IEM). and Sentinel-1 measurements. The network is trained by 20 neurons and one hidden layer, and one input layer. On the other hand, fractal surface roughness is generated by fitting 1D power spectrum model with roughness spectra. Fractal roughness profile is produced by a stochastic process describing probability between two points, and Hurst exponent, as well as rms heights (a standard deviation of surface height). Main interest of this study is to estimate a spatial variability of roughness without the need of local measurements. This non-local approach is significant, because we operationally have to be independent from local stations, due to its few spatial coverage at the global level. More fundamentally, SAR roughness is much different from local measurements, Remote sensing data are influenced by incidence angle, large scale topography, or a mixing regime of sensors, although probe deployed in the field indicate point data. Finally, demerit and merit of these approaches will be discussed.

As the demand for p-type semiconductors increases, much effort is being put into developing new p-type materials. This demand has led to the development of novel new p-type semiconductors that go beyond existing p-type semiconductors. Copper iodide (CuI) has recently received much attention due to its wide band gap, excellent optical and electrical properties, and low temperature synthesis. However, there are limits to its use as a semiconductor material for thin film transistor devices due to the uncontrolled generation of copper vacancies and excessive hole doping. In this work, p-type CuI semiconductors were fabricated using the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process for thin-film transistor (TFT) applications. The vacuum process has advantages over conventional solution processes, including conformal coating, large area uniformity, easy thickness control and so on. CuI thin films were fabricated at various deposition temperatures from 150 to 250 ℃ The surface roughness root mean square (RMS) value, which is related to carrier transport, decreases with increasing deposition temperature. Hall effect measurements showed that all fabricated CuI films had p-type behavior and that the Hall mobility decreased with increasing deposition temperature. The CuI TFTs showed no clear on/off because of the high concentration of carriers. By adopting a Zn capping layer, carrier concentrations decreased, leading to clear on and off behavior. Finally, stability tests of the PBS and NBS showed a threshold voltage shift within ±1 V.

The advantage of OTFT technology is that large-area circuits can be manufactured on flexible substrates using a low-cost solution process such as inkjet printing. Compared to silicon-based inorganic semiconductor processes, the process temperature is lower and the process time is shorter, so it can be widely applied to fields that do not require high electron mobility. Materials that have utility as electrode materials include carbon that can be solution-processed, transparent carbon thin films, and metallic nanoparticles, etc. are being studied. Recently, a technology has been developed to facilitate charge injection by coating the surface of the Al electrode with solution-processable titanium oxide (TiOx), which can greatly improve the performance of OTFT. In order to commercialize OTFT technology, an appropriate method is to use a complementary circuit with excellent reliability and stability. For this, insulators and channel semiconductors using organic materials must have stability in the air. In this study, carbon-doped Mo (MoC) thin films were fabricated with different graphite target power densities via unbalanced magnetron sputtering (UBM). The influence of graphite target power density on the structural, surface area, physical, and electrical properties of MoC films was investigated. MoC thin films deposited by the unbalanced magnetron sputtering method exhibited a smooth and uniform surface. However, as the graphite target power density increased, the rms surface roughness of the MoC film increased, and the hardness and elastic modulus of the MoC thin film increased. Additionally, as the graphite target power density increased, the resistivity value of the MoC film increased. In the performance of an organic thin film transistor using a MoC gate electrode, the carrier mobility, threshold voltage, and drain current on/off ratio (I_on/I_off) showed 0.15 cm²/V·s, -5.6 V, and 7.5×10⁴, respectively.

L밴드 ALOS SAR 자료를 활용하여 우리나라 동해 연안해역의 해상풍을 산출하고 오차의 특성을 분석하였다. 그 동안 인공위성 산란계를 이용한 해상풍 산출이 본질적으로 불가능하였던 연안 해역에 대하여 SAR 자료로부터 고해상도 해상풍을 산출할 수 있었다. 산출된 SAR 바람을 해양 부이 자료와 비교한 결과 0.67 m/s의 작은 오차로 잘 일치함을 보여주었다. 서로 다른 L밴드 ALOS PALSAR GMF 2007 모델과 2009 모델로 산출된 해상풍을 인공위성 산란계 해상풍과 비교한 결과, 풍속과 풍향 각각 2.16 m/s와 $19.24^{\circ}$, 3.62 m/s와 $28.02^{\circ}$의 제곱평균근오차를 보이며, 인공위성 산란계의 기대 오차보다 다소 큰 경향을 나타냈다. 또한 산출된 L밴드 SAR 바람장은 풍향과 입사각에 대하여 특징적인 의존성을 보였다. L밴드 GMF 2007 모델은 $21^{\circ}$ 보다 작은 입사각에 대하여 큰 오차를 보인 반면, L밴드 GMF 2009 모델은 입사각에 대한 효과를 선형함수가 아니라 이차함수로 고려하여 주었기 때문에 작은 입사각 범위에서 풍속 오차가 6.8 m/s에서 1.14 m/s로 크게 감소하는 결과를 보였다. 본 연구는 L밴드 SAR 바람장의 다양한 활용을 위해서는 풍향과 입사각 효과, 그리고 다른 잠재적인 오차의 요인을 집중적으로 연구하여야 함을 강조하였다.

목 적 : 이번 연구에서는 소아기에 흔한 선천성 심장병 환자들을 대상으로 개심술 이후 생긴 반흔과 수술로 인한 용적 또는 압력 과부하 상태의 변화로 초래되는 비정상적인 심실 활성화를 신호 평준화 심전도를 이용하여 분석하고자 하였다. 방 법 : 선천성 심장병으로 개심교정술을 시행한 환자 52명을 대상으로 하였다. 환자군은 우심실 용적 과부하군(심방 중격 결손군, 1군), 좌심실 용적 과부하군(심실 중격 결손군, 2군), 우심실 압력 과부하군(활로씨 4징군, 3군)으로 나누었다. 대상 환자 모두에서 표준 12 유도 심전도와 신호 평준화 심전도 검사를 시행하였고, 평균 QRS 기간, QT와 QTc 간격, f-QRS, HFLA, RMS in terminal 40 ms를 구하였다. 결 과 : 수술 전에는 1군에서 다른 군에 비해 의미 있게 긴 QRS 기간을 보였고(P=0.011), 수술 후에는 3 군에서 다른 군에 비해 QTc 간격이 의미 있는 증가가 있었다(P=0.004). 그러나 신호 평준화 심전도는 수술 전후 환자군 간에 차이가 없었다. 전체 대상 환자 중 신호 평준화 심전도 측정값이 한가지 이상 후전위의 진단 기준에 해당되는 경우가 수술 전 12명(23%)에서 수술 후 21명(40%)로 증가하였다. 특히 2군과 3군에서는 수술 전에 비해 수술 후에 신호 평준화 심전도의 이상 소견을 보이는 경우가 의미있게 많았다(2군: 20% versus 28%, P<0.001, 3군: 14% versus 64%, P<0.001). 결 론 : 비정상적인 신호 평준화 심전도 값은 수술 후 반흔뿐만 아니라 개심술 자체, 심실의 과부하에 의해서도 발생할 수 있다.

동아시아 해역에서 TOPEX/POSEIDON(T/P) 위성 고도계로부터 관측된 해수면 자료의 객관성을 검증하기 위하여 위성궤적에 시 ${\cdot}$ 공간적으로 가장 상응하는 10개소 조위관측소 자료(tide gauge data: TG)를 택하여 비교분석을 시행하였다. 이를 위해, 1992년 10월부터 1998년 12월까지 관측된 T/P의 고도자료(2${\sim}$230번 사이클)를 비교분석에 활용하였다. 연구대상지역인 동아시아 주변 해상의 강한 조석현상으로 인해, T/P자료를 이용한 역학 고도의 산출에서 조석오차의 처리가 대단히 중요하다. 이러한 문제점을 감안하여, T/P자료의 처리는 Park and Gamberoni(1995)가 제시한 방법을 이용하였다. T/P자료를 처리한 결과, M$_2$, S$_2$, K$_1$ 분조에 의한 주기가 각각 62.1, 58.7, 173일 주기의 조석변형 오차로 나타났다. 이러한 오차의 영향들을 감소시키기 위해, Gaussian 방식을 이용하여 다양한 주기별로 저주파 필터를 적용하였다. 필터주기별로 처리된 결과를 비교하면, 최소 200일 이상의 저주파 필터를 적용할 때 T/P자료의 거짓 신호를 이상적으로 제거할 수 있음이 확인되었다. 따라서 200일을 기준으로 모든 조위관측점들에 대해 RMS값을 구한 결과 2.8${\sim}$6.7 cm의 범위로 나타났고, 두 측정방식간에서 통계적으로 유의한(P <0.0001)상관성이 일관성있게 확인되었다. 이러한 연구결과에 따르면, 조석오차가 큰 동아시아 주변 해역에서 해수면 변화를 연구하기 위해서는 조석 오차의 영향을 최대한 억제할 수 있는 장주기 (최소한 200일)를 기준으로 해수면자료를 비교하는 것이 바람직하다.

목 적: Ir-192 고선량율 근접치료(HDR Brachytherapy)선원에 대한 다양한 측정절차의 효율을 서로 비교할 것이며, 측정 장비의 추가 구입 없이 대안으로 새롭게 만든 PMMA (polymethylmethacrylateplastics: $C_5H_8O_2$) plate phantom에 대한임상에서의 적합성과 유용성을 알아 보았다. 대상 및 방법: 세 가지 형태(Well type chamber, Source calibration jig, PMMA plate phantom)의 측정 시스템을 이용하여 측정값을 비교하였다. Source calibration jig와 PMMA plate phantom을 사용 했을 때에는 Farmer type chamber를 이용하여 측정하였으며, 각각 5회씩 측정하여 제조업체의 측정치와 비교하였다. 또한 새로운 선원을 교환 할 때마다 제조업체로부터 선원과 함께 제공되는 제조업체의 측정치를 본 연구의 측정치와 비교하여 방사능의 정확도를 평가 하였다. 결 과: Well type chamber, Source calibration jig, PMMA plate phantom를 사용한 Ir-192 선원의 측정결과 제조업체 측정치와의 상대오차에 대한 RMS (Root Mean Square)값은 Well type chamber에서 0.6%, Source calibration jig에서 1.57%, PMMA plate phantom에서는 2.1%를 나타내었다. 또한 평균 오차에 대한 편차는 Well type chamber에서 $-0.2{\pm}0.5%$, Source calibration jig에서 $0.97{\pm}1.23%$, PMMA plate phantom에서는 $-0.89{\pm}1.87%$를 나타내었다. 결 론: 본 연구를 통해 실험한 세 가지 형태(Well type chamber, Source calibration jig, PMMA plate phantom)의 측정 시스템의 결과에서 나타난 것처럼, Well type chamber를 이용한 측정결과가 가장 우수하게 나타났다. 또한 측정 장비를 구입하지 않고 대안으로 새롭게 만든 PMMA plate phantom의 결과 권고안 ${\pm}5%$를 초과하지 않으므로 임상에서 유용하게 사용 할 수 있을 것이라 생각되어진다.
