  • 펄스형 플라즈마 추력기의 성능해석을 위해 Teflon의 승화와 이온화 모델링을 수행하였다. PPT 작동 시 발생하는 방전 전휴의 변화를 예측하기 위해 일차원 lumped circuit model을 적용하였으며 Mickeal Keidar가 제시한 테플론-플라즈마 온도에 따른 테플론 승화 모델을 적용하였다. Saha 방정식을 이용하여 테플론 구성 원소인 탄소와 불소분자의 이온화를 예측하였다. 프로그램 검증을 위해 선행실험 결과와 비교하여 유사함을 확인하였으며 PPT 작동 전압에 따른 전류 변화정도를 고찰하였다.

  • A K-band low-power miniaturized planar-type hyperthermia system was developed to replace massive and expensive equipment. The system consists of a VCO with a buffer amplifier, a high-power amplifier module, a 20-dB-coupled line coupler, a chip circulator and two power detectors for signal generation, amplification and power monitoring. All these components have been implemented in planar form on two module blocks. The total size of the hyperthermia system was less than $10\times6.5\times3\;cm^3$. In order to verify the system performance, ablations were carried out on nude mice xenografted with human breast cancer. Ablation results show performance comparable to the massive components-based system. This work shows the feasibility of a low-cost miniaturized hyperthermia system for practical clinical applications.

  • Purpose: Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), Lens culinaris agglutinin-reactive fraction of AFP (AFP-L3), and Golgi protein 73 (GP73) levels have been widely used as tumor markers for the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The aim of this study was to investigate whether these tumor markers could be used to monitor short-term treatment response and recurrence of HCC in patients undergoing radiofrequency ablation (RFA). Methods: Between July 2012 and July 2013, 53 consecutive patients with newly diagnosed HCC were prospectively enrolled in this study. Among these, 32 patients underwent RFA, after which they were followed up prospectively at the First Hospital of Jilin University in China. Results: AFP, AFP-L3, and GP-73 values pre-RFA were not associated with tumor size, whereas AFP and GP-73 levels tended to be associated with tumor number, the presence of vascular invasion, deterioration of liver function, advanced-stage disease, and a poor performance status. GP-73 levels were dramatically elevated in the patients with hepatitis C-associated HCC. Neither pre-RFA nor 1-month post-RFA tumor marker values were associated with short-term outcome. The short-term recurrence rate of AFP-positive patients measured 1 month post-RFA was obviously higher than that of AFP-negative patients. Conclusions: AFP and GP-73 values were associated with clinical variables representing tumor growth and invasiveness, and the AFP value measured 1 month post-RFA was a strong predictor of short-term recurrence in patients with HCC.

  • This paper presents the performance analysis results of a short line fault interruption of a gas circuit breaker, particularly a self-blast type breaker. Hot gas flow analysis was carried out using a CFD calculation combined with the arc model and nozzle ablation model. To evaluate the interruption performance, the index function was defined using the pressure in the heating chamber and the density above the arc region. The simulation and test results showed that the gas flow field and suitable choice of an interruption performance index can be used to predict the interruption characteristics and provide guidelines for designing self-blast breakers with a higher interruption capability.

  • Background: In the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) system, only sorafenib is suggested for HCC patients having performance status (PS) 1 or 2 even if they have treatable lesions. In the current study, we aimed to explore the outcome of using aggressive treatment for HCC patients with PS 1 and 2. Materials and Methods: Five hundred and twenty four patients with HCC were enrolled in this study and divided into 2 groups: 404 PS 1 and 120 PS 2. Of the included 524 patients, 136 recceived non-aggressive supportive treatment and sorafenib, while 388 patients were offered aggressive treatment in the form of surgical resection, transplantation, percutaneous ablation, trans-arterial chemoembolization and/or chemoperfusion. All the patients were followed up for a period of 2 years to determine their survival. Results: Most HCC patients were CHILD A and B grades (89.4% versus 85.0%, for PS1 and PS2, respectively). Patients with PS1 were significantly younger. Out of the enrolled 524 patients, 388 were offered aggressive treatment, 253 (65.2%) having their lesions fully ablated, 94 (24.2%) undergoing partial ablation and 41 patients with no ablation (10.6%). The median survival of the patients with PS 1 who were offered aggressive treatment was 20 months versus 9 months only for those who were offered supportive treatment and sorafenib (p<0.001). Regarding HCC patients with PS 2, the median survivals were similarly 19.7 months versus 8.7 months only (p<0.001). Conclusions: Aggressive treatment of HCC patients with PS 1 and 2 significantly improves their survival. Revising the BCLC guidelines regarding such patients is recommended.

  • 추진기관의 개발과정에서는 추진제의 조성개발, 온도에 따른 성능분석, 내열재 삭마상태 등 여러가지 고려사항이 있다. 노즐 확장비에 따른 추진기관의 성능분석 또한 이러한 과정 중에 하나로 추진기관의 성능을 결정짓는 중요한 요소이다. 추진기관에 대한 해석 후 실제 모타를 제작 시험하여 이를 검증하였다.

  • 레이저 애블레이션에 의해서 가지상 구조체 형상인 나노입자 응집체를 합성하였다. 기존 마이크론 금속섬유 필터의 표면상에 나노입자 응집체를 고착하여 여과성능을 향상시켰다. 에어로졸 상에서 소결 처리된 나노입자 응집체를 증착한 후 열처리를 하여 나노구조체가 표면상에 형성된 소결 처리된 나노입자 응집체 고착 필터를 제작하였다. 소결 온도가 증가할수록 마이크론 금속섬유 필터 표면상에 고착된 나노입자 응집체의 표면적 증가로 인하여 차압은 조금 증가하지만 여과효율은 현저하게 증가하였다.

  • Jet Vane Type 추력방향제어 시스템의 구조적 안정성을 검토하기 위해 시스템의 해석을 Vane, Ablation & Bracket Interface, Nozzle flange & Housing Interface 및 Fastener의 세 부분으로 나누어 수행하였다. 해석을 위한 외력조건은 유동해석을 통해 얻어진 온도 및 압력분포에 근거하였으며, Vane의 응력해석을 위해서는 상용 Software인 Patran 및 Nastran이 사용되었다. 이번 연구는 Test Model 단계로서 충분한 강도의 고정 Housing이 사용되어, 이에 대한 해석은 수행되지 않았지만 추후 Flight Model 단계에서는 함께 고려되어질 것이며, 각 경우의 Margin of Safety값들을 도출하여 구조적 안정성을 검토하였다.
