In this study, a radiation and a diffraction problems of a floating body in two-layer fluids were solved by the Numerical Wave Tank(NWT) technique in the frequency domain. In two-layer fluids, two different wave modes exist and the hydrodynamic coefficients can be obtained separately for each mode. The two-domain Boundary Element Method(BEM) in the potential fluid using the whole-domain matrix scheme was used to investigate the characteristics of wave forces, added mass and damping coefficients. The effects of the ratio of density and water depth in the lower domain were also evaluated and compared with given references.

토모테라피를 이용한 3D-CRT의 임상적 적용 사례를 Helical mode와 Direct mode로 구분하여 치료목적에 따라 주 치료목적 및 보조적 치료 목적으로 적용된 사례에 대해 선량학적 평가를 시행하였고 기존의 라이낙을 이용한 기법과 종양의 발생 부위별 선량학적 분포의 차이를 비교, 분석하였다. 선량 분석은 육종, 뇌척수조사, 유방, 뇌, 췌장, 척추 전이, 상대정맥 증후군, 식도에 토모테라피를 이용한 3차원 입체조형 방사선치료로 치료받는 환자 8명을 대상으로 Helical mode와 Direct mode, 라이낙 기반 치료 기법 사이의 치료 계획 간 비교하였으며, 선량분석은 선량 체적 히스토그램과 등선량 곡선을 이용했다. Direct mode로 치료한 육종, 뇌척수 조사 환자의 경우 체적 길이에 대한 영향을 받지 않아 Junction effect 없는 선량적 결과를 보여주었고, 유방 환자는 D 99%와 D 95%의 선량에서 $49.2{\pm}0.4$ Gy와 $49.9{\pm}0.4$ Gy, V 105%와 V 110%에서 0%로 나타났다. Helical mode로 치료한 뇌, 췌장, 척추 전이 환자에서 dosimetric block을 이용해 정상조직의 선량을 효과적으로 줄일 수 있었고, 상대정맥 증후군 환자는 선량 제한(dose limitation)을 통해 방사선 치료를 재 실시해도 척수선량을 38 Gy이하로 효과적으로 제한할 수 있었다. 식도 환자에서는 기존에 다른 기법과 함께 추가조사 목적으로 사용하여 총 척수선량을 45 Gy 이하로 하고 폐의 V 20%을 20% 이하로 제한할 수 있었다. 토모테라피를 이용한 3차원 입체조형치료는 기존 선형가속기를 이용한 3차원 입체조형 방사선치료에 비해 선량적으로 제한되는 부분을 개선해주고 임상적으로 적절한 선량분포를 구현하는데 효과적인 방법 중의 하나라고 사료된다.

This paper represents the lateral first-order mode characteristics for the semiconductor laser diodes using a two-dimensional numerical simulator. In order to analyze the lateral first-order mode characteristics, Helmholtz wave equation is solved twice for the lateral fundamental and the first-order mode considering the mode gain, total losses, and the recombination rate due to the stimulated emission radiation for the each mode independantly. Through this procedure, we find that the lateral first-order mode was easily guided as increasing the stripe width for the index-guiding structures, and that the lateral first-order mode seems to be dominated in the distribution of total light intensity when its output power reaches nearly half of that of the lateral fundamental mode. This results may be used to design the device structure which guides only the lateral fundamental mode.

Objective: To investigate the accuracy of the Agatston score obtained with the ultra-high-pitch (UHP) acquisition mode using tin-filter spectral shaping (Sn150 kVp) and a kVp-independent reconstruction algorithm to reduce the radiation dose. Materials and Methods: This prospective study included 114 patients (mean ± standard deviation, 60.3 ± 9.8 years; 74 male) who underwent a standard 120 kVp scan and an additional UHP Sn150 kVp scan for coronary artery calcification scoring (CACS). These two datasets were reconstructed using a standard reconstruction algorithm (120 kVp + Qr36d, protocol A; Sn150 kVp + Qr36d, protocol B). In addition, the Sn150 kVp dataset was reconstructed using a kVp-independent reconstruction algorithm (Sn150 kVp + Sa36d, protocol C). The Agatston scores for protocols A and B, as well as protocols A and C, were compared. The agreement between the scores was assessed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and the Bland-Altman plot. The radiation doses for the 120 kVp and UHP Sn150 kVp acquisition modes were also compared. Results: No significant difference was observed in the Agatston score for protocols A (median, 63.05; interquartile range [IQR], 0-232.28) and C (median, 60.25; IQR, 0-195.20) (p = 0.060). The mean difference in the Agatston score for protocols A and C was relatively small (-7.82) and with the limits of agreement from -65.20 to 49.56 (ICC = 0.997). The Agatston score for protocol B (median, 34.85; IQR, 0-120.73) was significantly underestimated compared with that for protocol A (p < 0.001). The UHP Sn150 kVp mode facilitated an effective radiation dose reduction by approximately 30% (0.58 vs. 0.82 mSv, p < 0.001) from that associated with the standard 120 kVp mode. Conclusion: The Agatston scores for CACS with the UHP Sn150 kVp mode with a kVp-independent reconstruction algorithm and the standard 120 kVp demonstrated excellent agreement with a small mean difference and narrow agreement limits. The UHP Sn150 kVp mode allowed a significant reduction in the radiation dose.

소아 두부 CT 검사 시 방사선 피폭 최소화와 진단적 가치가 높은 영상을 확보하기 위하여 Volume Axial Mode, High Pitch Mode, Helical Mode 간 피폭 선량과 영상의 비교 분석을 통하여 Volume Axial Mode의 유용성을 평가하였다. 1세 미만의 소아 두부 CT Helical Mode, High Pitch Mode, Volume Axial Mode에서 70, 80, 100 kVp의 관전압에 따라 영상평가와 선량평가를 시행하였다. 영상평가는 각 영상에 ROI를 설정해 SNR과 CNR을 산출하여 영상평가를 진행하였으며 일원배치 분산분석(ONE-WAY ANOVA)을 사용하여 통계적 유의성을 평가하였고, 선량평가는 검사 후 장비에서 직접 제공하는 Dose Report에 표시되는 DLP값을 이용하여 비교 분석하였다. Volume Axial Mode를 사용하여 검사하였을 때, DLP 값은 전체적으로 낮게 나왔고, SNR과 CNR은 각각 ROI와 kVp별 차이를 가졌다. Volume Axial Mode가 다른 Scan Mode와 비교하여 영상의 질을 평가하였을 때, 그 차이 값이 균일하지 않아 특정 Mode가 우수하다고 볼 수 없었으나 선량 측면에서는 가장 피폭선량을 줄일 수 있었다. 또한 Volume Axial Mode의 짧은 스캔 시간과 Table의 이동 없이 제자리에서 검사 할 수 있는 점은 방사선 감수성이 높은 1세 미만 소아 CT검사에서 유용하게 적용된다.

Concentric-Circle-Grating (CCG) cavity is analyzed by coupled mode theory. In this case concentric grating is acting as both feedback element and output coupler. In our calculations radiation loss terms are included in guided coupled mode equations. The surface-emitted field distribution is obtained in self-consistent manner.

The purpose of this work is to study the effects of specularly reflecting wall under the combined radiative and laminar free convective heat transfer in an infinite square duct. An absorbing and emitting gray medium is enclosed by the opaque and diffusely emitting walls. The walls may reflect diffusely or specularly. Boussinesq approximation is used for the buoyancy term. The radiative heat transfer is evaluated using the direct discrete ordinates method. The parameters under considerations are Rayleigh number, conduction to radiation parameter, optical thickness, wall emissivity and reflection mode. The differences caused by the reflection mode on the stream line, and temperature distribution and wall heat fluxes are studied. Some differences are observed for the categories mentioned above if the order of the conduction to radiation parameter is less than order of 10$\^$-3/ fer the range of Rayleigh number studied. The differences at the side wall heat flux distributions are observed as long as the medium is optically thin. As the top wall emissivity decreases, the differences between these two modes are increased. As the optical thickness decreases at the fixed wall emissivity, the differences also increase. The difference of the streamlines or the temperature contours is not as distinct as the side wall heat flux distributions. The specular reflection may alter the fluid motion.

The interaction between a vibrating structure and a surrounding acoustic medium determines the acoustic power propagating into the far-field. A straightforward method to reduce the radiated power is to reduce the vibration of the structure. However it is more efficient to control the modes of the structure separately since each vibration mode of the structure has different radiation efficiency. An efficient method to reduce the sound radiation in the low frequency region is proposed by reducing the radiation efficiency of the structure.

The characteristics of the corrugated conical horn antenna for the satellite communication earth station operating at C band is analyzed and its radiation patterns is measured. We obtain the characterstic equations for corrugated horn in the condition that the balanced hybrid mode is formed on born aperture and calculate radiation patterns in the Fresnel region from the aperture integral expressions obtained by the equivalence principle. The radiation patterns which are calculated for the frequency of 3.85GHz and 6.18GHz are well agreed with the measured data.
