In analyzing the operational characteristics of a rice whitening machine, the internal radial pressure of the machine was measured using strain gage equipment. Changes in cylinder and feed screw configurations, screen type, cylinder speed and counter-pressure levels were examined to determine their impact on the quality and quantity of milled rice and the performance of the machine. The results are summarized as follows: 1. The internal radial pressure in the whitening chamber varied with the surface condition of the grain being processed. During the first or second pass through the machine, pressure was relatively low, reached a maximum after two to three passes with combinations I and II, three to six with combination III and then began to fall. 2. The pitch of the feed screw and the size of the feed gate opening which determine the rate of entry of grain into the whitening chamber, appeared to be the most important factor aff-::cting the degree of radial pressure, quality and quantity of milled rice and the efficiency of the machine. Using a feed screw with a wide pitch (4.8cm), radial pressure was relatively high and head rice recovery ratio \vere quite low. In this case capacity and machine effic?iency were much higher than obtained when using a feed screw with a narrow pitch (2.3cm). Very significant responses in radial pressure, head rice recovery rates and machine capacity were observed with changes in cylinder speed and counter-pressure levels when using the wide pitch feed screw. 3. The characteristics of the screen which surrounds the whitening chamber had an important effect on whitening efficiency. The existence of small protuberances on the original screen resulted in significant increases in both machine capacity and efficiency but without a significant decrease in head rice recovery or development of excessive radial pressure. Further work is required to determine the effects of screen surface conditions and the shape of the cylinderical steel roller on the rate of bran removal, machine efficiency and recovery rates. The size of the slotted perforations 0:1 the screen affects total milled rice recovery. The opening size on the original screen was fabricated to accommodate the round shape of Japonica rice varieties but was not suitable for the more slender Indica type. Milling Indica varieties with this screen resulted in a reduction in total milled rice recovery. 4. An increase in cylinder speed from 380 to 820 rpm produced a positive effect on head rice recovery for all machine combinations at every level of counter-pressure used in the tests. Head rice recovery was considerably lower at 380rpm using a wide screw pitch when compared to the results obtained at speeds from 600 to 820 r.p.m. The effects of cylinder speed On radial pressure, capacity and machine efficiency showed contrasting results, depending on the width of the feed screw pitch. With a narrow feed screw pitch (2.3cm), a direct proportional relationship was observed bet?ween cylinder speed and both radial pressure and machine efficiency. In contrast, using a 4.8 centimeter pitch feed roller produced a series of inverse relationships between the above variables. Based on the results of this study it is recommended when milling Indica type long grain rice varieties that the cylinder speed of the original machine be increased from 500-600 rmp up to a minimum of 800 rpm to obtain a greater abrasive effect between the grain and the screen. The pitch of the feed screw should be also reduced to decr?ease the level of internal radial pressure and to obtain higher machine efficiency and increased quality of milled rice with increased cylinder speeds. Further study on the interaction between cylinder speed and feed screw pitch is recommended. 5. An increase in the counter pressure level produced a negative effect On the head rice recovery with an increase in radial pressure, capacity, and machine efficiency over all combinations and at every level of cylinder speed. 6. Head rice recovery rates were conditioned primarily by the pressure inside the whitening chamber. According to the empirical cha racteristics curve developed in this study, the relationships of head rice recovery ($Y_h$) and machine capacity ($Y_c$/TEX>) to internal radial pressure ($X_p$) followed an inverse quadratic function and a linear function respectively: $$Y_h^\Delta=\frac{1}{{1.4383-0.2951X_p^\ast+0.1425X_p^{\ast\ast}}^2} , (R^2=0.98)$$$$Y_c^\Delta=-305.83+374.37X_p^{\ast\ast}, (R^2=0.88)$$The correlation between capacity and power consumption per unit of brown rice expressed in the following exponential function: $$Y_c^\Delta=1.63Y_c^{-0.7786^\{\ast\ast}, (R^2=0.94)$$These relationships indicate that when radial pressure increases above a certain range (1. 6 to 2.0 kg/$cm^2$ based On the results of the experiment) head ricerecovery decrea?ses in a quadratic relation with a inear increase in capacity but without any decrease in power consump tion per unit of brown rice. On the other hand, if radial pressure is below the range shown above, power consumption increases dramatically with a lin?ear decrease in capacity but without significant increases in head rice recovery. During the operation of a given whitening machine, the optimum radial pressure range or the correct capacity range should be selected by controlling the feed rate and/or counter-pressure keeping in mind the condition of the grain, particulary the hardness. It was observed that the total number of passes is related to radial pessure level, feed rate and counter-pressure level. The higher theradial pressure the fewer num?ber of pass required but with decreased head rice recovery. In particular, when using high feed rates, the total number of passes should be increased to more than three by reducing the counter-pressure level to avoid decreaseases in head rice recovery (less than 65 percent head rice recovery on the basis of brown rice) at every cylinder speed. 7. A rapid rise in grain temperature seemed to have a close relationship with the pressure generated inside the whitening chamber and, subsequently with head rice reco?very rates. The higher the rate of increase, the lower were the resulting head rice recoveries.

유방촬영장치가 screen-film system에서 최근에는 빠른 속도로 digital system으로 교체되고 있는 추세이다. Digital system이 screen-film system에 비해 여러 가지 장점을 가지고 있다. 그 중의 하나가 digital detector가 screen-film보다 X선 흡수효율이 더 높으며, digital system 중에서도 direct digital detector가 indirect digital detector보다 흡수효율이 높다. 이에 입각하면 촬영 시 적은 선량을 주어도 되기 때문에 환자피폭선량이 감소한다. 그러나 임상 방사선사들이 느끼는 바는 달랐다. 따라서 이번 연구에서는 screen-film mammography system, computed mammography system, indirect digital mammography system, direct digital mammography system에서 glandularity가 30%, 50% 및 70%인 세 종류의 유방조직 등가팬텀을 이용하여 평균유선선량(AGD)을 측정하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. Screen-film보다 digital detector가 X선 흡수효율이 높지만, glandularity가 30%인 경우의 AGD는 오히려 SFM에서 가장 낮았고, 그다음 CM, IDM, DDM 순으로 증가되었다. 자동노출장치로 설정하였지만 두께나 glandularity에 따라 target/filter의 조합이 바뀌지 않고 Mo/Mo으로 계속 사용된 SFM에서는 AGD가 급격히 증가되었다. 따라서 높은 glandularity를 가진 두꺼운 팬텀을 위한 고에너지 촬영에서는 SFM에서 AGD값이 가장 높았고, 저에너지 촬영에서는 DDM에서 AGD값이 가장 높았다. 그러나 target/filter의 조합이 다양하게 바뀐 CM에서는 두께나 glandularity에 따른 AGD의 곡선이 가장 완만하게 증가하였으며, AGD값이 가장 낮았다. 이와 같이 두께와 glandularity가 증가함에 따라 target/filter의 조합이 Mo/Mo에서 Mo/Rh으로 더 증가하면 Rh/Rh으로 바뀌는 것이 AGD의 증가량이 적어 환자의 피폭선량 측면에서 바람직하다. 따라서 유방촬영에서 환자의 피폭선량을 평가하기 위해서는 검출효율 외에도 여러 가지 촬영 변수가 중요한 역할을 한다.

There are several reasons to take X-ray in case of inpatients. Some of them who cannot ambulate or have any risk if move are taken portable X-ray at their wards. Usually, in this case, many other people-patients unneeded X-ray test, family, hospital workers etc-are indirectly exposed to X-ray by scatter ray. For that reason I try to be aware of free space scatter dose accurately and make the point at issue of portable X-ray better in this study. kVp dose meter is used for efficiency management of portable X-ray equipment. Mobile X-ray equipment, ionization chamber, electrometer, solid water phantom are used for measuring of free space scatter dose. First of all the same surroundings condition is made as taken real portable X-ray, inquired amount of X-ray both chest AP and abdomen AP most frequently examined and measured scatter ray distribution of two tests individually changing distance. In the result of measuring horizontal distribution with condition of chest AP it is found that the mAs is decreased as law of distance reverse square but no showed mAs change according to direction. Vertical distribution showed the mAs slightly higher than horizontal distribution but it isnt found out statistical characteristic. In abdomen AP, compare with chest AP, free space scatter dose is as higher as five-hundred times and horizontal, vertical distribution are quite similar to chest AP in result. In portable X-ray test, in order to reduce the secondary exposure by free space scatter dose first, cut down unnecessary portable order the second, set up the specific area at individual ward for the test the third, when moving to a ward for the X-ray test prepare a portable shielding screen. The last, expose about 2m apart from patients if unable to do above three ways.

최근 백만 볼트 영상(megavoltage imaging, MVI)에서 급격히 발전해 온 디지털 방사선영상(digital radiography, DR)은 치료용 방사선영상 기술이 발전함에 따라 매우 정확하면서 간단하게 측정할 수 있는 일반적인 정도관리(quality assurance, QA) 방법을 요구하게 되었다. 본 연구의 목적은 일반적인 QA 방법과 computed radiography (CR) 장비를 사용하여 MVI의 변조전달함수(modulation transfer function, MTF), 잡음전력스펙트럼(noise power spectrum, NPS), 양자검출효율(detective quantum efficiency, DQE)를 평가하고자 하였다. 텅스텐으로 구성된 $19{\times}10{\times}1cm^3$ 두께의 엣지(edge) 블록을 사용하였으며, 6 MV energy를 사용하였다. 또한 검출기는 CR-IP (image plate), CR-IP-lead, the CR-IP-back (lanex TM fast back screen), CR-IP-front (lanex TM fast front screen)를 사용하였으며, pre-sampling MTF를 계산하였다. CR-IP의 MTF는 0.70 lp/mm를 나타내었고, CR-IP front의 MTF는 1.10 lp/mm로서 가장 높은 값의 고해상도 공간분해능을 보였다. 가장 우수한 검출기의 NPS는 CR-IP front screen에서 확인되었다. 공간주파수가 증가함에 따라 1.0 cycles/mm의 가까운 DQE를 획득하였다. 본 연구결과로서 자체 제작한 엣지 블록 방법은 MVI의 MTF, NPS, DQE를 평가하는 일반적인 QA 방법으로 사용될 수 있음을 확인하여 주었다.

Potentiometric $CO_{2}$ sensors were fabricated using a NASICON ($Na_{1+x}Zr_{2}Si_{X}P_{3-X}O_{12}$, 1.8 < x < 2.4) thick film and auxiliary layers. The powder of a precursor of NASICON with high purity was synthesized by a sol-gel method. By using the NASICON paste, an electrolyte was prepared on the alumina substrate by screen printing and then sintered at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 4 h. A series of $Na_{2}CO_{3}-CaCO_{3}$ auxiliary phases were deposited on the Pt sensing electrode. The electromotive force (emf) values were linearly dependent on the logarithm of $CO_{2}$ concentration in the range between 1,000 and 10,000 ppm. The device attached with $Na_{2}CO_{3}-CaCO_{3}$ (1:2 in mol.%) showed good sensing properties in the low temperatures.

The heterolayered thick/thin structure consisting of $Pb(Zr_{0.52}Ti_{0.48})O_3$ and $BaTiO_3(BT)$ were fabricated by a sol-gel process. PZT powders, prepared by the sol-gel method, were mixed with an organic vehicle and the PZT thick films were fabricated by the screen printing techniques on alumina substrate with Pt electrodes. The microstructural and dielectric characteristics of the stacked heterolayered PZT/BT/PZT films were investigated by varying the number of coating $BaTiO_3$ layers. The existence of a $BaTiO_3$ layer between the PZT thick films of the tri-layer $Pb(Zr_xTi_{1-x})O_3/BaTiO_3/Pb(Zr_xTi_{1-x})O_3$thick/thin/thick film can greatly improve the leakage current properties of the PZT thick films. The average thickness of a PZT(5248)/$BaTiO_3$ heterolayered thick/thin film was 25$\mu$m. The relative dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the PZT(5248)/$BaTiO_3$-3 heterolayered thin film coated three times were 1087 and 1.00% at 1[MHz].
