It has been noted that Monte Carlo simulations are the most accurate method to calculate dose distributions in any material and geometry. Monte Carlo transport algorithms determine the absorbed dose by following the path of representative particles as they travel through the medium. Accurate Monte Carlo dose calculations rely on detailed modeling of the radiation source. We modeled the effects of beam modifiers such as collimators, blocks, wedges, etc. of our accelerator, Varian Clinac 600C/D to ensure accurate representation of the radiation source using the EGSnrc based BEAM code. These were used in the EGSnrc based DOSXYZ code for the simulation of particles transport through a voxel based Cartesian coordinate system. Because Monte Carlo methods use particle-by-particle methods to simulate a radiation transport, more particle histories yield the better representation of the actual dose. But the prohibitively long time required to get high resolution and accuracy calculations has prevented the use of Monte Carlo methods in the actual clinical spots. Our ultimate aim is to develop a Monte Carlo dose calculation system designed specifically for radiation therapy planning, which is distinguished from current dose calculation methods. The purpose of this study in the present phase was to get dose calculation results corresponding to measurements within practical time limit. We used parallel processing and some variance reduction techniques, therefore reduced the computational time, preserving a good agreement between calculations of depth dose distributions and measurements within 5% deviations.

주기적인 나노트랜치 패턴이 있는 기판 위에 놓인 CVD 그래핀의 전도특성을 측정하였다. 나노트랜치에 대해 평행한 방향과 수직한 방향 사이에 전도특성의 큰 비등방성을 발견하였다. 전기 전도의 방향이 나노트랜치에 수직한 경우, 약한 한곳모임의 특성에 있어서도 큰 차이점이 발견되었는데, 이는 퍼텐셜 변조에 의해 생겨나는 전하밀도의 비균일성에 의해 생겨나는 것으로 해석된다.

A complete finite element analysis method for discharge onset process, which is governed and coupled by charge transport equation and electric field equation, was presented. The charge transport equation of first order was transformed into a second-order one by utilizing the artificial diffusion scheme. The two second-order equations were analyzed by the finite element formulation which is well-developed for second-order ones. The Fowler-Nordheim injection boundary condition was adopted for charge transport equation. After verifying the numerical results by comparing to the analytic solutions using parallel plane electrodes with one carrier system, we extended the result to blade-plane electrodes in 2D xy geometry with three carriers system. Radius of the sharp tip was taken to be 50 ${\mu}m$. When this sharp geometry was solved by utilizing the space discretizing methods, the very sharp tip was found to cause a singularity in electric field and space charge distribution around the tip. To avoid these numerical difficulties in the FEM, finer meshes, a higher order shape function, and artificial diffusion scheme were employed.

고분자 전해질 연료전지의 성능향상을 위한 방법으로 유동채널의 형상을 변경한 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔으나 동일한 유동채널 형상에서 유동방향 변경에 따른 연구는 많이 진행되지 못하였다. 본 연구에서는 동일한 반응면적과 동일한 유동채널의 고분자 전해질 연료전지의 수소와 산소의 유동방향을 Co-flow에서 Counter-flow로 변경될 경우의 연료전지의 성능변화를 분석하기 위하여 연료극과 공기극이 포함된 3차원 수치해석모델을 개발하였다. 개발된 수치해석모델을 활용하여 Co-flow와 Counter-flow의 유동채널 내부의 압력손실, 반응물질의 농도분포, 고분자 전해질 막을 통한 Water Transport, 고분자 전해질 막의 이온전도도 및 I-V 성능곡선을 비교하였다. 그 결과 반응물질의 농도분포, Water Transport, 고분자 전해질 막의 이온전도도가 우수한 Counter-flow 유동조건에서의 성능이 Co-flow 유동조건에 비하여 더욱 우수하였다.

The command of Subway is intended to adjust and control the train operation, and to play a key role of the total passenger transport and all kinds of affairs related to the safe train operation. Also, this can be considered as affairs to be controlled and operated by Total Traffic Control. For the purpose of developing the ATO system in using the new control technology by substituting the conventional ATS equipment, this technical document includes the technical points resulted from doing the replacement construction in the entire section of Subway Line 2 by Seoul Metro. The replacement work with the new ATO System should neither stop nor affect the system under operation while operating the current ATS System. The different systems should not interfere with each other while performing their individual affairs, and be composed to share the important data for the parallel operation. This technology is needed to proceed in assurance of a high degree of reliability.

For proton exchange membrane fuel cell, it is very important to design the flow channel on separation plate optimally to maximize the current density at same electrochemical reaction surface and reduce the concentration polarization occurred at high current density. In this paper, three dimensional computation model including anode and cathode domain together was developed to examine effects of flow patterns and operation conditions such as humidity and operating temperature on performance of fuel cell. Results show that voltage at counter flow condition is higher than that at coflow condition in parallel and interdigitated flow pattern. And fuel cell with interdigitated flow pattern which has better mass transport by convection flow through gas diffusion layer has higher performance than with parallel flow pattern but its pressure drop is increased such that the trade off between performance and pressure drop should be considered for selection of flow pattern of fuel cell.

Superconducting cable is using by bundling and twisting with many strands for large current capacity. As a result of the twisting, the magnetic field whose direction is parallel to a sound axis by the transport current of themselves is produced in the cable. Not only the externally exposed longitudinal field but also longitudinal component of self field make a influence on a.c loss and a.c quench current degradation. In this paper, we calculate the saturated region flowing with the critical current density in a strand in case of various twist pitch, transport current and external longitudinal field.

The electron transport coefficients in $SP_{6}$ gas is calculated and analysed for range of E/N values from 150∼800(Td) by a Monte Carlo simulation, using a set of electron collision cross sections determined by the authors. The result of the Monte Carlo simulation such as electron drift velocity, ionization and electron attachment coefficients, longitudinal and transverse diffusion coefficients in neatly agreement with the respective experimental and theoretical for a range of E/N. The validity of the results obtained has been confirmed by a Monte Carlo simulation carried out parallel to the analysis.

Transport of carbon and boron impurity ions parallel to magnetic field lines in the tokamak SOL (scrape-off layer) is numerically investigated for a one-dimensional steady state. The spatial distributions of density and velocity of the impurity ions in a steady state are calculated by finite difference method for a single-fluid model. The calculated results show that among forces acting on SOL particles thermal force produced tv plasma temperature gradient is a principal force determining the feature of impurity distribution profiles in the tokamak edge. However, strong collisional friction forces appearing dominant in front of the diverter plate restrain impurity ion flows due to temperature gradients from moving toward the midplane. Consequently, the stagnation point develops in the impurity flow by these two forces near the diverter region, in which ion flows change their directions. Impurity ions turn out to be accumulated at the stagnation points, where peaked profiles of highly-ionized state ions are relatively predominant over those of low-ionized state ions.

The Kyunggi Bay (125-l28E, 36-38N) is a macro-tidal bay in the western central port of Korean Peninsula(Fig. 1). The Bay characterizes its feature as wide tidal flats, deep tidal channels and tidal sand ridges running in parallel to tidal flows. The macro-tidal range (up to approximately 8.6m) and consequent strong tidal currents erode the bottom sediment and selectively transport to the low-energy area forming tidal ridges or tidal flats.
