Purpose: The present study compared the difference between intraoperative transrectal ultrasound (iTRUS)-based prostate volume and preplan computed tomography (CT), preplan magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based prostate volume to estimate the number of seeds needed for appropriate dose coverage in permanent brachytherapy for prostate cancer. Materials and Methods: Between March 2007 and March 2011, among 112 patients who underwent permanent brachytherapy with $^{125}I$, 60 image scans of 56 patients who underwent preplan CT (pCT) or preplan MRI (pMRI) within 2 months before brachytherapy were retrospectively reviewed. Twenty-four cases among 30 cases with pCT and 26 cases among 30 cases with pMRI received neoadjuvant hormone therapy (NHT). In 34 cases, NHT started after acquisition of preplan image. The median duration of NHT after preplan image acquisition was 17 and 21 days for cases with pCT and pMRI, respectively. The prostate volume calculated by different modalities was compared. And retrospective planning with iTRUS image was performed to estimate the number of $^{125}I$ seed required to obtain recommended dose distribution according to prostate volume. Results: The mean difference in prostate volume was 9.05 mL between the pCT and iTRUS and 6.84 mL between the pMRI and iTRUS. The prostate volume was roughly overestimated by 1.36 times with pCT and by 1.33 times with pMRI. For 34 cases which received NHT after image acquisition, the prostate volume was roughly overestimated by 1.45 times with pCT and by 1.37 times with pMRI. A statistically significant difference was found between preplan image-based volume and iTRUS-based volume (p<0.001). The median number of wasted seeds is approximately 13, when the pCT or pMRI volume was accepted without modification to assess the required number of seeds for brachytherapy. Conclusion: pCT-based volume and pMRI-based volume tended to overestimate prostate volume in comparison to iTRUS-based volume. To reduce wasted seeds and cost of the brachytherapy, we should take the volume discrepancy into account when we estimate the number of $^{125}I$ seeds for permanent brachytherapy.

Experiments were carried out to evaluate performance of the cold air distribution systems with an ice storage tank in test room. Cold air distribution systems provide primary air for comfort conditioning or process cooling at coil discharge temperatures$4^{\circ}C$ to$11^{\circ}C$. The application of a cold air distribution system allows for the downsizing of air distribution equipment and central plant equipment when ice storage tank is used. The benefit of a cold air distribution system include a decrease in the floor-to-floor height, increase floor space, reduced building capital costs, reduced energy use and demand. The use of cold air distribution can result in the most cost effective system and is currently being implemented world wise as the new standard in air conditioning systems. In this study, the cold air distribution system is compared with the general ice storage system. Under the same cooling load conditions, experimental results show that the supply air volume of cold air distribution system decrease 38%, and decrease 45% flow rate of brine for the general ice storage system.

본 연구에서는 고강도콘크리트의 폭렬 방지를 위해 사용되고 있는 폴리프로필렌섬유의 혼입량에 따른 60 MPa 고강도 기둥 콘크리트의 폭렬현상 및 기둥 내부온도 특성을 평가하였다. 고강도 기둥 콘크리트 공시체의 내화특성 평가를 위하여 ISO-834 가열 곡선을 적용하여 실물 기둥 실험체에 대한 실험을 실시하였다. 폴리프로필렌섬유 혼입량은 1.0, 1.2 및 $1.5\;kg/m^3$을 고려하였다. 실험결과 폴리프로필렌섬유의 혼입량에 따른 최고 내부온도 결과의 차이는 보이지 않았으나 평균 내부온도 결과에 있어서는 폴리프로필렌섬유의 혼입량이 증가할수록 낮아지는 결과를 나타냈다.

원통형 복합재 격자 구조는 필라멘트 와인딩 공법으로 제작되며 제작 공정에서 두께방향 섬유체적비 불균일이 발생할 수 있다. 섬유체적비 불균일은 구조의 강성에 영향을 미칠 수 있으며 강성 및 좌굴 특성이 변화할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 두께방향 섬유체적비 불균일이 복합재 격자 구조의 비틀림 좌굴 하중에 미치는 영향에 대하여 분석하였다. 섬유체적비 변화에 의한 강성 변화를 유한요소 모델에 적용하였고 비틀림 하중을 가한 뒤 좌굴 해석을 수행하였다. 두께방향 섬유체적비 편차에 따른 좌굴 하중을 비교하였다. 섬유체적비 불균일에 의해 비틀림 좌굴 하중이 저하될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

A thermal model of carbon spun yam is presented. The unit cell of spun carbon yam is divided into a number of volume elements and the local material properties have been given to each element. By using Finite Difference Method (FDM), temperature distribution in the unit cell can be obtained. Effective thermal conductivity of the spun carbon yam unit cell is calculated using the temperature distribution and thermal conductivities of local elements.

Flow fields in model engine cooling passages are studied numerically by using TURBO-3D program, a finite volume based 3-D turbulent flow program adopting a general body fitted coordinate system. The effects of exit position on mass flow rate at each gasket hole are examined for a model cooling passage in order to understand the flow distribution inside the water jacket. The results of the present study can be applied to the design of high performance, high reliability engine.

In a compartment fire with openings, convective heat transfer consists of natural convection from the hot bodies and forced convection by airflow through the openings. The same finite volume method that was applied to pure natural convection in part I was utilized without modification to the square cavity with two openings. The objective of this study is to investigate effects of the openings on temperature distribution. Flow patterns, temperature distribution and heat transfer were compared for different Rayleigh numbers and with and without the openings.
