본 연구는 자동노출제어장치 사용 시 파라미터 조합에 따른 영상 화질과 방사선 출력을 분석하여 임상에 적용할 수 있는 최적의 방법을 모색하고자 하였다. 실험방법은 관전압 70, 81 kVp와 자동노출제어장치(Automatic Exposure Control, AEC)의 감도 S200, S400, S800, S1000을 조합해서 복부와 골반부의 입사표면선량, 관전류량, 신호 대 잡음비(Signal to Noise Ratio, SNR), 대조도 대 잡음비(Contrast to Noise Ratio, CNR), 시간-방사선량 곡선을 구하였다. 그 후 영상 화질과 출력의 안정성을 평가하였다. 그 결과 입사표면선량, 관전류량, 신호 대 잡음비, 대조도 대 잡음비는 관전압과 감도가 높게 설정될수록 감소하였다. 또한 관전압과 감도가 높게 설정될수록 시간-방사선량 곡선은 출력의 안정성이 줄어드는 양상을 보였다. 결론적으로 복부와 골반부 검사 시 관전압과 감도를 높게 조합할수록 검출기는 영상 화질과 방사선 출력을 정상적으로 재현해내지 못하였다. 따라서 비교적 낮은 관전압과 감도를 조합하여 검출기가 파라미터의 조합을 인식할 때 발생하는 오차 범위를 최소화해야 영상 화질과 방사선 출력의 안정성을 최적화할 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The important factors in sensors are sensitivity, selectivity, and response time. Oxide semiconductors are high sensitivity, fast response and the advantage of miniaturization. Zn-doped $SnO_2$ materials have been synthesized in order to improve the selectivity of the sensor. ZnO/$SnO_2$ crystals were prepared by a simple hydrothermal process and ultrasound pretreated hydrothermal process. ZnO/$SnO_2$ urchins were fabricated in the precursor solution with [$Zn^{2+}$]:[$Sn^{4+}$] ratio of 1:5 and rod structures were fabricated ratio of 1:1 and 1:3. Surface area ratio was increased by increasing the ratio of [$Sn^{4+}$]. The sensitivity of sensors were highest at the [$Zn^{2+}$]:[$Sn^{4+}$] ratio of 1:5 in ethanol, acetaldehyde, toluene, and nitric oxide.

유도전동기의 고성능 벡터제어를 수행하기 위해서는 회전자 자속의 정확한 추정이 필요하다. 유도전동기의 회전자 자속관측기들에서는 자속추정시에 전동기 상수들이 사용되므로 이들의 변동에 따라 자속추정에 영향을 받는다. 본 논문에서는 파라미터 민감도를 이용하여 파라미터 변동에 의한 자속관측기들의 추정자속 오차를 해석하였다. 파라미터 민감도는 시스템 파라미터의 변동분에 대한 시스템 전달함수의 변동분의 비로 정의되므로 실제 자속과 추정 자속의 비를 전달함수로 정의하고 해석을 수행하였다. 제안된 해석방법의 타당성을 확인하기 위해 시뮬레이션과 실험을 행하였다.

This study reflected sensitivity cognition in using color and evaluated the performance in task regarded GUI environment. Largely, three experiments were conducted. First, the searching time in text environment was compared with the searching time in color environment. Second, to know relationship of hue, saturation, lightness which are factors of color, and searching time, the searching time was measured using two-way ANOVA with interaction with three independent variables: hue, saturation, and distance. Third, sensitivity cognition about color was investigated and the performance of searching task was analyzed in the environment designed by color regarded sensitivity cognition. According to statistical results, the average searching time was decreased about 50.31% in color environment. The searching time was significant among the difference of hue and saturation. For the factor of color, the more the ratio of green and red was increased, the more searching time was decreased. The more the ratio of gray was increased, the more searching time was increased. And the searching time was developed in the environment designed by color regarded sensitivity. The purpose of this study is the presentation of sensitivity realization method and verification in the reflection and application of sensitivity to the industrial environment and design.

To obtain a high performance in a direct vector controlled induction machine, it is essential to correct estimation of rotor flux. The accuracy of flux observers for induction machines inherently depends on parameter sensitivity. This paper presents an analysis method for conventional flux observers using Parameter Sensitivity. The Parameter sensitivity is defined as the ratio of the percentage change in the system transfer function to the percentage change of the parameter variation. We define the ratio between real flux and estimated flux as the transfer function, and analyzed a parameter sensitivity of this transfer function.

As a new standard for performance measurement, NEMA NU2-2001 was presented recently. In this study, I investigated the spatial resolution, sensitivity, scatter fraction, and noise equivalent count ratio (NECR) in order to know the information of physical characteristics and system performance of GE discovery ST using this new standard. Bismuth germinate crystals ($6{\times}6$ array, $6.3mm{\times}6.3mm{\times}30mm$) were used in discovery ST (energy window:375-650 keV, coincidence window:11.7 nsec). To measure the sensitivity, five aluminum sleeves (Data Spectrum Corp., Chapel Hill, NC., USA, thickness:1.25 mm)-NEMA sensitivity phantom- filled with F-18 solution were used. Successive measurements in 2D and 3D acquisition mode were made with a line source at the center of transaxial field of view and 10 cm off from the center until the count was over 500,000. Spatial resolution was estimated using a point source (F-18, 0.1 mCi) at different locations in the FOV. Scatter fraction and NECR was tested using a NEMA scatter phantom. Dynamic data were acquired for 7 half-lives using F-18 solution. And true to background ratio was averaged at last three frames when the random rate was as small as ignorable for the calculation of scatter fraction. We anticipate this overall evaluated results could be used for the quality assurance and optimized image acquisition for clinical research.

The sensitivity of ozone to $NO_x$ and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emission rates under different ventilation rates and $NO_2-to-NO_x$ emission ratios in a street canyon is investigated using a chemistry box model. The carbon bond mechanism IV (CBM-IV) with 36 gaseous species and 93 chemical reactions is incorporated. $NO_x$ and VOCs emission rates considered range from 0.01 to $0.30ppb\;s^{-1}$ with intervals of $0.01ppb\;s^{-1}$. Three different ventilation rates and three different $NO_2-to-NO_x$ emission ratios are considered. The simulation results show that the ozone concentration decreases with increasing $NO_x$ emission rate but increases with increasing VOCs emission rate. When the emission ratio of VOCs to $NO_x$ is smaller than about 4, the ozone concentration is lower in the street canyon than in the background. On average, the magnitude of the sensitivity of ozone to $NO_x$ emission rate is significantly larger than that to VOCs emission rate. As the $NO_x$ emission rate increases, the magnitude of the sensitivity of ozone to $NO_x$ and VOCs emission rates decreases. Because the ozone concentration is lower in the street canyon than in the background, the increased ventilation rate enhances ozone inflow from the background. Therefore, the increase in ventilation rate results in the increase in ozone concentration and the decrease in the magnitude of the sensitivity of ozone to $NO_x$ and VOCs emission rates when the emission ratio of VOCs to $NO_x$ is smaller than about 4. On the other hand, the increase in $NO_2-to-NO_x$ emission ratio results in the increase in ozone concentration because the chemical ozone production due to the $NO_2$ photolysis is enhanced. In the present experimental setup, the contribution of the change in $NO_2-to-NO_x$ emission ratio to the change in the sensitivity of ozone to $NO_x$ emission rate is larger than that of the change in ventilation rate.

Purpose: Inferior vena cava (IVC) collapse is related to hypovolemia. Sonography has been used to measure the IVC diameter, but there is variation depending on the skill of the operator and it is difficult to obtain accurate measurements in patients who have a large amount of intestinal gas or are obese. As a modality to obtain accurate measurements, we measured the diameters of the IVC and aorta on trauma computed tomography scans and investigated the correlation between the IVC to aorta ratio and the shock index in blunt trauma patients. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 588 trauma patients who were transferred to the regional trauma center (level 1) of Wonkang University Hospital from March 2020 to February 2021. We included trauma patients 18 years or older who met the trauma activation criteria and underwent trauma computed tomography scans with intravenous contrast within 40 minutes of admission. The shock index was calculated from vital signs before trauma computed tomography scan, and measurements of the anteroposterior diameter of the IVC (AP), the transverse diameter of the IVC (T), and aorta were made 10 mm above the right renal vein in the venous phase. Results: Overall, 271 patients were included in this study, of whom 150 had a shock index ≤0.7 and 121 had a shock index >0.7. The T to AP ratio and AP to aorta ratio were significantly different between groups. Cutoffs were identified for the T to AP ratio and AP to aorta ratio (2.37 and 0.62, respectively) that produced clinically useful sensitivity and specificity for predicting a shock index >0.7, demonstrating moderate accuracy (T to AP ratio: area under the curve, 0.71; sensitivity, 59%; specificity, 87% and AP to aorta ratio: area under the curve, 0.70; sensitivity, 55%; specificity, 91%). Conclusions: The T to AP ratio and AP to aorta ratio are useful for predicting hemorrhagic shock in trauma patients.
