본 연구는 광자 신호의 검출 효율에 따른 collimator의 특성과 폐기능 정량분석의 상관관계를 비교하여 고감도 collimator 폐 환기 SPECT의 임상적용 가능성을 평가하였다. 2014년 3월부터 5월까지 10명의 정상 성인을 대상으로 초고해상도, 고해상도, 고감도 3종류의 collimator를 이용하여 평면 스캔과 SPECT를 비교 실험하였다. 기존 검사방법인 고해상도 collimator 평면 스캔과 비교하여 정량분석 결과는 유의하였으며(p=0.89), 고해상도 collimator SPECT보다 4.9배의 시간이 단축되었다. 따라서 효용성 저하로 제한적으로 시행하였던 폐 환기 SPECT는 고감도 collimator를 이용하면 진단 정보의 양과 질, 검사시간의 단축 측면에서 효과적이므로 추후 임상적용에 유용할 것으로 사료된다.

This paper presents one-axis high precision scanning system and illustrates the design of modified $X-Y-{\theta}$ stage as a tracker using VCM and commercialized air bearings for it. The scanning system for 100nm resolution is composed of the 3-axis stage and one axis long stroke linear motor stage as a follower. In this study a previous proposed and presented structure of VCM for the fine stage is modified. The tracker has 3 DOF($X-Y-{\theta}$ motions by four VCM actuators which are located on the same plane. So 4 actuating forces are suggested and designed to create least pitch and roll motions. This article will show about the design especially about optimal design. The design focus of this fine stage is to have high acceleration to accomplish high throughput. The optimal design of maximizing acceleration is performed in restrained size. The most sensitive constraint of this optimal design is heat dissipation of coil. There are 5 design variables. Because the relationship between design variables and system parameters are quite complicated, it is very difficult to set design variables manually. Due to it, computer based optimal design procedure using MATLAB is used. Then, this paper also describes the procedures of selecting design variables for the optimal design and a mathematical formulation of the optimization problem. Based on the solution of the optimization problem, the final design of the stage is also presented. The results can be verified by MAXWELL. The designed stage has the acceleration of about 5 $m/s^{2}$ with 40kg total mass including wafer chuck and interferometer mirror. And the temperature of coil is increased $50^{\circ}C$. In addition, the tracker is controlled by high precision controller system with HP interferometer for it and linear scaler for the follower. At that time, the scanning system has high precision resolution about 5nm and scanning resolution about 40nm in 25mm/s constant speed

Gadolinium oxysulfide (GOS) is regarded as a novel scintillator for the realization of ultra-high spatial resolution in neutron imaging. Monte Carlo simulations of GOS scintillator show that the capability of its spatial resolution is towards the micron level. Through the time-of-flight method, the light output of a GOS scintillator was measured to be 217 photons per captured neutron, ~100 times lower than that of a ZnS/LiF:Ag scintillator. A detector prototype has been developed to evaluate the imaging solution with the GOS scintillator by neutron beam tests. The measured spatial resolution is ~36 ㎛ (28 line pairs/mm) at the modulation transfer function (MTF) of 10%, mainly limited by the low experimental collimation ratio of the beamline. The weak light output of the GOS scintillator requires an enormous increase in the neutron flux to reduce the exposure time for practical applications.

Ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) are intriguing in the sense that they are much larger than dwarf galaxies but have much lower surface brightness than normal galaxies. To date, UDGs have been found only in the local universe. Taking advantage of deep and high-resolution HST images, we search for UDGs in massive galaxy clusters in the distant universe. In this work, we present our search results of UDGs in three massive clusters of the Hubble Frontier Fields: Abell 2744 (z=0.308), Abell S1063 (z=0.348), and Abell 370 (z=0.375). These clusters are the most distant and massive among the host systems of known UDGs. The color-magnitude diagrams of these clusters show that UDGs are mainly located in the faint end of the red sequence. This means that most UDGs in these clusters consist of old stars. Interestingly, we found a few blue UDGs, which implies that they had recent star formation. The radial number densities of UDGs clearly decrease in the central region of the clusters in contrast to those of bright galaxies which keep rising. This implies that a large fraction of UDGs in the central region were tidally disrupted. These features are consistent with those of UDGs in nearby galaxy clusters. We estimate the total number of UDGs (N(UDG)) in each cluster. The abundance of UDGs shows a tight relation with the virial masses (M_200) of thier host systems: M_200 \propto N(UDG)^(1.01+/-0.05). This slope is found to be very close to one, indicating that efficiency of UDGs does not significantly depend on the host environments. Furthermore, estimation of dynamical masses of UDGs indicates that most UDGs have dwarf-like masses (M_200 < 10^11 M_Sun), but a few UDGs have $L{\ast}$-like masses (M_200 > 10^11 M_Sun). In summary, UDGs in distant massive clusters are found to be similar to those in the local universe.

ISO MPEG에서는 향후 대용량의 초고해상도 영상을 이종(Heterogeneous)의 네트워크 환경에서도 소비자에게 원활하게 전달하기 위해 MPEG-H를 표준화 하였다. 그 중 MMT(MPEG Media Transport) 프로토콜은 이종의 네트워크 환경에서 하이브리드 (hybrid) 미디어 전송을 할 수 있는 차세대 MPEG 미디어 전송 규격이다. 대용량 초고해상도의 영상을 이종의 네트워크 환경을 통해 원활하게 서비스하려면 전송된 미디어 간의 정확한 동기화 (synchronization)가 중요한 요소이다. 본 논문에서는 MMT 기술에서 제공하는 대역외 (out-of-band) 미디어 동기화 기법의 추가적인 세션 연결과 과도한 트래픽 발생 문제를 해결하기 위해 대역내 (in-band) 미디어 동기화 기법을 제안하고 그 성능을 검증한다.

본 논문에서는 6~13 GHz 주파수 범위에서 30 kHz 이하의 주파수 분해능과 500 ns 이하의 동조 속도를 갖는 광대역 고속 주파수 합성기 구조를 제안하였다. 광대역에서 빠른 동조 속도와 우수한 위상잡음 특성, 고해상도 주파수 특성을 얻기 위해 DDS(Direct Digital Synthesizer)와 아날로그 직접 주파수 합성기술을 적용하여 주파수 합성기의 출력을 합성하였다. 그리고 광대역 주파수 합성기의 위상잡음 특성을 중첩의 원리를 이용하여 예측하였고 측정 결과와 비교하였다. 제작된 주파수 합성기의 주파수 동조 속도는 500 ns 이하, 위상잡음은 최고 주파수에서 -106 dBc @ 10 kHz 이하, 주파수 정확도는 ${\pm}2kHz$ 이하로 측정 되었다.

In liquids NMR, $^{1}H$ is the most widely observed nucleus, which is not the case in solids NMR. The reason is due to the strong homo-dipolar interactions between the hydrogen atoms which mask the useful chemical shift information. Therefore we must remove the strong homo-dipolar interactions in order to get structural information, which can be investigated by the isotropic chemical shift. There are two ways of obtaining it. One is the ultra-fast MAS of ca. 70 kHz spinning speed, which has become available only recently. The other way is devising a pulse sequence which can remove the strong homo-dipolar interaction. In the latter way, MAS with a moderate spinning rate of a few kHz, is enough to remove the chemical shift anisotropy. In this report, 1D-CRAMPS and 2D MASFSLG techniques are utilized and their results will be compared. This kind of highresolution $^{1}H$ NMR for solids, should become a valuable analytical tool in the understanding and the developing of a new class of hydrogen storage materials. Here ammonium borane $-NH_{3}BH_{3}$, whose hydrogen content is high, is used as a sample.

Soft x-ray microscopy provides a unique set of capabilities in-between those of visible light and electron microscopy. It has long been recognized that nature provides a 'water window' spectral region between the K shell x-ray absorption edges of carbon (~290eV) and oxygen (~540eV), where organic materials show strong absorption and phase contrast, while water is relatively non-absorbing. This enables imaging of hydrated biological specimens that are several microns thick with high intrinsic contrast using x-rays with a wavelength of 2.3~4.4nm. Soft X-ray microscopy is therefore well suited to the study of specimens like single biological cells. The most direct advantage of X-ray microscope is their high spatial resolution when compared with visible light microscopes, combined with an ability to image hydrated specimens that are several microns with a minimum of preparation. Our study describes the conceptual design of soft x-ray microscope system based on a laser-based source for biomedical application with high resolution ($\leq$50nm) and short exposure time ($\leq$30sec).

The STW(servo track writing) system which is the process of writing servo signals on disks before assembling in drives uses the spindle motor-chuck mechanism to realize low cost because the spindle motor-chuck mechanism has merit which can simultaneously write multi-disk by piling up disks in hub. Therefore, when the spindle motor-chuck mechanism of horizontal type operates in high rotation speed it is necessary to reduce the effect of RRO(repeatable run-out) and NRRO(non-repeatable run-out) to achieve the high precision accuracy of nano-meter level during the STW process. In this paper, we analyzed that the slip in assembly surfaces can be caused by the mechanical tolerance and clamping force in hub-chuck mechanism and can affect NRRO performance. We designed springs for centering and clamping considering centrifugal force by the rotation speed and assembly condition. The experimental result showed NRRO performance improves about 30 % than case of weak clamping force. The result shows that the optimal design of the spindle motor-chuck mechanism can effectively reduce the effect of NRRO and RRO in STW process.

최대 차수 10800의 초 고차 구 조화함수를 전개하여 중력을 모델링 하고, 이를 이용하여 상향 연속의 정확도를 검증하였다. 초 고차 구조화 함수에 의한 중력 모델링에 있어 수치계산적 난점인 르장드르 함수의 언더플로와 오버플로를 128 비트 연산에 의하여 성공적으로 수행하였으며, 이를 이용하여 지오이드상의 중력이상값을 공간 상도 $1'{\times}1'$ 으로 계산하였다. 생성된 중력이상값에 다양한 크기의 잡음을 첨가하고 자료의 간격을 달리하여 상향연속을 수행하였으며, 이로부터 도출된 중력 섭동 벡터와 중력 모델로부터 직접 계산된 섭동 벡터와의 비교를 통하여 실제적인 상향연속의 정확도를 할당하였다. 상향연속 방법의 비교에 있어, 직접방법이 포아송 방법에 비해 월등히 좋은 정확도를 보였고, 지상 중력자료의 잡음이 적을수록 또한 자료의 간격이 작을수록 상향연속에 의한 중력 섭동벡터의 정확도가 높게 나타남을 확인하였다. 특히 차세대 관성항법장치의 정밀 항법을 위한 중력의 필요조건인 5mGal의 정확도를 위해선, 지상 중력의 잡음 정도가 5mGal 이하, 자료의 간격이 2arcmin 이하이어야 함을 도출하였다.
