The purpose of this study is to provide basic clinical data by evaluating images, measuring absorbed dose and effective dose by using high resolution CT and low dose CT by using anthropomorphic chest phantom and glass dosimeter. Tissue dose was measured by inserting a glass dosimeter into the anthropomorphic chest phantom. A 64-slice CT system (SOMATOM Sensation 64, Siemens AG, Forchheim, Germany) and CARE Dose 4D were used, and the parameters of the high resolution CT were 120 kVp, Eff. Scan parameters of mAs 104, scan time 7.93 s, slice 1.0 mm (Acq. 64 × 0.6 mm), convolution kernel (B60f sharp) were used, and low dose CT was 120 kVp, Eff. mAs 15, scan time 7.41 s, slice 3.0 mm (Acq. 64 × 0.6 mm), scan of convolution kernel B50f medium sharp. CTDIvol was measured at 8.01 mGy for high resolution CT and 1.18 mGy for low dose CT. Low dose CT scans showed 85.49% less absorbed dose than high resolution CT scans.

Objectives : Indirect moxibustion is one of the thermotherapy in Korean medicine and buffer of ginger and mankshood slice are common materials to be used. However it is difficult to control the power of thermal stimulation and the stimulation is greatly influenced by the characteristic of buffer. So we research on the buffer characteristic of indirect moxibustion according to the thickness, diameter and water content changes. Methods : We used thermocouples to measure temperature from surface to depth of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14mm on tissue model and calculated peak temperature($^{\circ}C$). The data were analyzed with student t-test and one-way ANOVA(p<0.05). Results : 1. The peak temperature of indirect moxibustion with ginger were determined by thickness of ginger slice and temperature changes according to the thickness at intervals of 1mm but according to the diameter at intervals of 4mm. 2. The peak temperature of indirect moxibustion with mankshood were determined by thickness of mankshood slice also. The peak temperature of mankshood moxibustion was higher than that of ginger moxibustion. 3. In this study, 2mm-thick-ginger slice and 3mm-thick-mankshood slice were suitable for indirect moxibustion. Variation in the thickness of which is more efficient to control the power of thermal stimulation on indirect moxibustion. 4. The more water loss we got on ginger slice, the higher peak temperature we measured at the surface of moxibustion. But the thermal stimulation was not conducted more than 2mm in the depth. 5. The thickness and water content of buffer are important in indirect moxibustion. Conclusions : The temperature of indirect moxibustion depends on the thickness of buffer than the diameter of it. Therefore, it is more efficient according to the thickness of buffer so that we control the power of thermal stimulation. And water content of buffer is one of the important factor in indirect moxibustion.

An echo planar imaging (EPI)-based spin-echo sequence Is often used to obtain diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) data on most of the clinical MRI systems, However, this sequence is confounded with the susceptibility artifacts, especially on the temporal lobe in the human brain. Therefore, the objective of this study was to design a pulse sequence that relatively immunizes the susceptibility artifacts, but can map diffusion tensor components in a single-shot mode. A multi-slice multi-echo pulsed-gradient spin-echo (MePGSE) sequence with eight echoes wasdeveloped with selective refocusing pulses for all slices to map the full tensor. The first seven echoes in the train were diffusion-weighted allowing for the observation of diffusion in several different directions in a single experiment and the last echo was for crusher of the residual magnetization. All components of diffusion tensor were measured by a single shot experiment. The sequence was applied in diffusive phantoms. The preliminary experimental verification of the sequence was illustrated by measuring the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) for tap water and by measuring diffusion tensor components for watermelon. The ADC values in the series of the water phantom were reliable. The MePGSE sequence, therefore, may be useful in human brain studies.

Let G be a semialgebraic group which is not necessarily compact. Let X be a semialgebraically proper G-set such that the orbit space has a semialgebraic structure. In this paper we prove the existence of semialgebraic slices of X. Moreover X can be covered by finitely many semialgebraic G-tubes.

Numerical analysis of slope stability is presented using slice method, static seismic analysis methods, and earthquake response analysis methods. Static seismic force is considered as 0.2g while vertical static seismic force is not considered in analysis. For earthquake response analysis, Hachinohe-wave is applied. Safety factor calculated using slice method for failure surface. Calculating methods are Bishop's method and Janhu's method. Static seismic analysis was applied using Mhor-Coulomb model and earthquake response analysis was applied using non-linear elastic model.

In this paper, we focus on the analysis of the scheduling problem in FMS after slicing off some sub-nets using the transitive matrix. This class of Time Petri nets is obtained by merging subnets based on the machine's operations. We can divide original system into some subnets based on machine's operations using Time Petri nets slice and analyze the feasibility time in each schedules. In this paper, we show the usefulness of transitive matrix to slice off some subnets from the original net, and explain on an example.

PWR 사용후핵연료 집합체를 운반할 수 있는 수송용기를 개발하기 위하여 단면이 수송용기의 실제 크기인 slice 모델을 사용하여 법규에서 규정하고 있는 정상조건인 주변온도 38$^{\circ}C$에서 냉각 매체로 nitrogen 과 helium 인 경우에 대하여 열시험을 수행하여 수송용기의 열전달 특성 및 핵연료봉의 건전성을 평가하였다. 열시험결과 내부핵연봉의 최대 은도는 각각 448$^{\circ}C$ 와 416$^{\circ}C$로 측정되었다. 이 값들은 핵연료봉의 건전성 유지에 필요한 허용치 이내 만족하는 것으로 수송 용기의 열전달성능이 우수함을 입증하는 것이다.

In this paper we established new results of existence of conditional expectation for closed convex and unbounded Pettis integrable random sets without assuming the Radon Nikodym property of the Banach space. As application, new versions of multivalued Lévy's martingale convergence theorem are proved by using the Slice and the linear topologies.

A segmentation is a prior processing for medical image analysis and 3D reconstruction. This Paper provides the method to segment 3D Visible Human color images. Firstly, the reference images that have a initial curve are segmented using Balloon and the results are propagated to the adjacent images. In the propagation processing, the result of the adjacent slice is modified by Edge-limited SRG Finally, the 3D Balloon improves the segmentation results of each 2D slice. the proposed method's performance was verified through the experiments to segment thigh muscles of Visible Human color images.
