  • 목 적 : 3D 프린터는 입력한 도면을 바탕으로 3차원의 입체 모델을 만들어 낼 수 있는 장비이다. 이러한 특징을 이용하여 방사선치료시 bolus 사용으로 인한 피부와 bolus 사이의 air gap을 최소화 할 수 있는 bolus 제작이 가능하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 3D 프린터를 이용하여 customized bolus를 제작하여 air gap과 target 선량을 상품화된 1 cm bolus와 비교하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 : 왼쪽 chest wall에 돌출된 종양이 있는 RANDO phantom을 CT 모의치료기를 이용하여 영상 획득 후, CT DICOM 파일을 3D 프린터에 필요한 STL 파일로 변환시켰다. 이것을 이용하여 치료부위의 체표윤곽과 일치하면서 1 cm 두께를 유지하는 customized bolus 주형틀을 3D 프린터로 제작한 후 paraffin wax를 녹여 customized bolus를 만들었다. 이렇게 만들어진 customized bolus와 상품화된 1 cm bolus의 air gap을 확인하였고, air gap으로 인한 차이를 Eclipse를 이용하여 치료계획상 $D_{max}$, $D_{min}$, $D_{mean}$, $D_{95%}$$V_{95%}$를 비교하였다. 결 과 : customized bolus 제작 기간은 약 3일이 소요되었다. air gap 총 용적은 customized bolus는 평균 $3.9cm^3$, 상품화된 1 cm bolus는 평균 $29.6cm^3$이었다. 상품화된 1 cm bolus를 사용할 때보다 3D 프린터를 이용하여 제작한 customized bolus를 사용하는 것이 air gap을 최소화시켰다. 6 MV photon에서 customized bolus의 $D_{max}$, $D_{min}$, $D_{mean}$, $D_{95%}$, $V_{95%}$는 각각 102.8%, 88.1%, 99.1%, 95.0%, 94.4%이었고, 상품화된 1 cm bolus의 $D_{max}$, $D_{min}$, $D_{mean}$, $D_{95%}$, $V_{95%}$는 101.4%, 92.0%, 98.2%, 95.2%, 95.7%이었다. proton의 경우 customized bolus의 $D_{max}$, $D_{min}$, $D_{mean}$, $D_{95%}$, $V_{95%}$는 각각 104.1%, 84.0%, 101.2%, 95.1%, 99.8%이었고, 상품화된 1 cm bolus의 $D_{max}$, $D_{min}$, $D_{mean}$, $D_{95%}$, $V_{95%}$는 104.8%, 87.9%, 101.5%, 94.9%, 99.9%이었다. 이처럼 치료계획에서 customized bolus와 1 cm bolus 모두 GTV의 선량은 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 그러나 GTV에 인접한 정상조직은 customized bolus의 선량이 더 적게 나타났다. 결 론 : 3D 프린터를 이용한 customized bolus가 표면이 일정하지 않은 치료부위에 사용 할 때 air gap을 줄이는 효과를 나타냈다. 그렇지만 상품화된 bolus와 피부 사이에 생기는 air gap은 target에서의 선량의 변화를 일으킬 만큼 많은 양이 아님을 알 수 있었다. 반면 chest wall에서는 air gap이 적을수록 선량이 감소함을 확인 할 수 있었다. customized bolus 제작 기간은 3일이 걸렸고, 고가의 제작비용이 든다는 문제점이 발생하였다. 따라서 3D 프린터 customized bolus의 상용화를 위해서는 저비용이고, bolus 사용으로 적합한 3D 프린터 재료 모색의 필요성이 있다고 사료된다.

  • The FFS (fringe-field switching) mode was known to exhibit both a wide viewing angle and high transmittance, especially when using a liquid crystal with negative dielectric anisotropy. We have studied cell gap-dependent electrode-optic characteristics of the FFS mode using the LC with negative dielectric anisotropy. In case of a small cell gap of 2 ${\mu}$m, the transmittance at the center of pixel and common electrodes is relatively low because effect of surface anchoring that holds the LC to the initial state is larger than that in a large cell gap of 4 .urn such that the LCs in those regions cannot rotate enough. However, in case of a large cell gap of 4 .urn, the effect of surface anchoring becomes relatively small so that the LCs at the center of pixel and common electrode can be twisted enough by applied voltage, giving rise to high transmittance. Therefore, we can conclude that the light efficiency is dependent on the cell gap.

  • In this paper, a new Twisted Nematic (TN) transflective liquid crystal display configuration with single cell gap for both transmissive and reflective mode and without sub-pixel separation is proposed. The Transmittance vs. Voltage Curve (TVC) and Reflectance vs. Voltage Curve (RVC) are matched.

  • This investigation studied the toughness variations in the narrow gap weldment with the notch location. Specimens with the notch at the center of the weld metal showed the lowest toughness. As the location of notchmoves to fusion line, the impact properties improve reaching a maximum at the fusion boundaries. This improvement in toughness can be explained by the microstructural feature showing in the narrow gap weldment. "one pass/layer" technique performed in narrow gap welding results in the increased proportion of refined structure as approaching to fusion boundary from weld center and thus leave 100% refined structure along the fusion boundary. HAZ also shows 100% refined structure with respect to base metal structure accompanied with the significant suppression of ductile-brittle transition temperature.mperature.

  • We have studied cell gap-dependent electrode-optic characteristics of the FFS mode using the LC with negative dielectric anisotropy. In case of a small cell gap of 2 ${\mu}m$, the transmittance at the center of pixel and common electrodes is low due to stronger influence of surface anchoring that holds the LC to the initial state than twisting force induced by neighboring LCs. In case of a large cell gap of 4 ${\mu}m$, the influence of surface anchoring force becomes weak so that the LCs at the center of pixel and common electrode can be twisted enough by applied voltage, giving rise to high transmittance. Therefore, we conclude that the light efficiency in the device is dependent on the cell gap.

  • Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the combined effects of ginkgo biloba extract, ginkgolide A and B and aspirin on SK-N-MC, human neuroblastoma cell viability and mRNA expression of growth associated protein43 (GAP43), Microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2), B-cell lymphoma2 (Bcl2) and protein53 (p53) gene in hypoxia and reperfusion condition. Methods: SK-N-MC cells were cultured with Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM) media in $37^{\circ}C$, 5% $CO_2$ incubator. The cells were cultured for 8 hours in non-glucose media and hypoxic condition and for 12 hours in normal media and $O_2$ concentration. Cell survival rate was measured with Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) reagent assay. Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to estimate mRNA levels of GAP43, MAP2, Bcl2, and p53 genes. Results: The ginkgolide A and B increased viable cell number decreased in hypoxic and reperfused condition. The co-treatment of ginkgolide B with aspirin also increased the number of viable cells, however, there was no additive effect. Although there was no increase of mRNA expression of GAP43, MAP2, and Bcl2 in SK-N-MC cells with individual treatment of ginkgolide A, B or aspirin in hypoxic and reperfused condition, the co-treatment of ginkgolide A or B with aspirin significantly increased GAP43 and Bcl2 mRNA levels. In MAP2, only the co-treatment of ginkgolide A and aspirin showed increasing effect. The mRNA expression of p53 had no change in all treating conditions. Conclusion: This study suggests that the combined treatments of Ginkgo biloba extracts and aspirin increase the regeneration of neuroblastoma cells injured by hypoxia and reperfusion.

  • The effort for measuring the rotor vibration caused by the short of rotor winding or air-gap eccentricity has been carried on. This paper introduces on-line vibration monitoring technologies using search coils to measure flux for synchronous generators. A 3,300/6,600 (V), 150 [kW] synchronous generator is built, and search coils are designed and inserted in the wedges. Furthermore, air-gap eccentricity is analyzed by finite element method and compared with experiment tests. Induced voltages caused by different air-gap eccentricity on the search coils are compared as well.

  • In this work we measured electron temperature and electron density of a microplasma by optical emission spectroscopy. The plasma is generated from a small discharge gap of a microwave parallel stripline resonator (MPSR) in Helium at atmospheric pressure. The microwave power supplied for this plasma source from 0.5 to 5 watts at a frequency close to 800 MHz. The electron temperature and electron density were estimated through Collisional-radiative model combined with Corona-equilibrium model. The results show that the electron density and temperature of this plasma in the case small discharge gap width are higher than that in larger gap width. The diagnostic techniques and associated challenges will be presented and discussed.

  • A microplasma system source based on microwave parallel stripline resonator (MPSR) was developed for the generation of microplasmas in a wide range of pressure from some torr to 760 torr. This source was operated at its resonance frequency that much depends upon not only its discharge gap size but also operated pressure. This paper applied a simple circuit model to analyze the effects of discharge gap size and pressure to resonance frequency and impedance of MPSR in the cases with and without plasma exist inside the discharge gap. In the process of calculating, the conformal mapping method was used to estimate the capacitance of the MPSR. The calculating results by using circuit model agree well with the simulation results that using commercial CST microwave studio software.
