Guidelines on the Completion and Submission of Dissertations

Classified into dissertations for requesting degrees (for evaluation), dissertations for submission (printed and bound), and electronic dissertations, dissertations must be completed and submitted according to the present Guidelines on the Completion and Submission of Master’s and Doctoral Dissertations. Dissertations for submission must include the approval for dissertation submission, seals of approval, abstract, table of contents, main body, references, summary, acknowledgement (optional), and curriculum vitae (optional).

1.	Dissertations for Requesting Degrees (for Evaluation)

A.	Guidelines on the Completion of Dissertations

1)	Dissertations must be completed in Korean or English. There is no limit to the length, however.

2)	The paper must be blank white sheets measuring A4 size.

3)	The abstract (p.13: Reference in Appendix 1) must be completed in English within 1,000 words. When the main body of the dissertation is in a foreign language, however, a summary in Korean more than 600 words (p.18: Reference in Appendix 1) must be completed and attached.

4)	Dissertations for requesting degrees (master’s program: 3 copies; doctoral program: 5 copies) must be submitted to the submitter’s dissertation committee within the deadlines below, together with the Approval for Dissertation Submission (p.11: Appendix 1).

5)	When the title of the dissertation as given during the dissertation proposal evaluation and the title of the dissertation as given for requesting a degree do not correspond, the change must be recorded in the Request for the Evaluation of Dissertation for the Doctoral Degree (p.26: Reference Appendix 2) and submitted to the department/major.

B.	Deadlines for Dissertations for Requesting Degrees : See “Schedule of Completion and Submission of Dissertations.“

2.	Dissertations for Submission (Printed)

A.	Guidelines on the Completion of Dissertations

1)	The front cover of the dissertation (p.9: Reference in Appendix 1) must bear both Korean and English in print. The submitter’s name must be printed in Korean, followed by corresponding Chinese characters and English in parentheses.(If the submitter is a foreigner, his/her name can be printed in English followed by corresponding his/her native language in parentheses.)

2)	The first page after the front cover must include an inside cover bearing in both Korean and English the title of the dissertation (p.10: Reference in Appendix 1).

3)	The dissertation must measure 210×790(A4) size, use non-coated paper, and have top margin of 30 mm, bottom and left/right margins of 25.4 mm.

4) There is no limit on the letter form, however it should be equivalent to 명조, 신명조, 바탕체, 굴림체 if it is Korean, and it should be equivalent to Arial or Times New Roman if it is English. (Note: Embed True type font should be used, and the letter should be searchable. Scanned letter can not be used since it is not searchable.)

5) Spaces among the lines of the main body should be double-spaced. If the line is footnote, table, citation, picture or the two-lined title, the space should be single-spaced.

6) The page number must be entered in the middle of the bottom. The number must be Roman numeral (small letter) before the main body, and Arabic numeral starting from the main body. The page numbers of the main body need to be hyphenated(-) on left and right side of the number.

7) Once the dissertation has been printed, it must be bound after the submitter has obtained the seals or signatures of the dissertation committee head and committee members certifying the completion of dissertation evaluation (p.12: Reference in Appendix 1).

*	The hardcover editions (2 copies) must bear the actual seals or signatures (photocopies of seals or signatures prohibited); the 2 copies, on the other hand, may bear photocopies of seals or signatures.

8) As for other guidelines on completing the covers and main body of the dissertation, the General Guidelines on Completing Dissertations must be followed. Dissertations must be standardized in reference to the Sample Dissertation (Appendix 1). [In case of the main body, it can be modified according to the department or the characteristics of the thesis (dissertation).]

※ paper margin, spaces among lines, or letter form can be adjusted in accordance with the readability.

B.	Dissertation Submission Procedures

Once the dissertation for requesting a degree has been approved of by the dissertation committee, the submitter must: □ send the dissertation, converted into a computer file according to the guidelines on completing electronic dissertations, to the Library homepage (http://library.kaist.ac.kr); □ print out from the same homepage the Agreement to Disclose Electronic Dissertations (p.29: Reference in Appendix 2); □ verify with the department office whether the title of the printed dissertation and the title of the dissertation on the CAIS correspond (when there are errors, they must be corrected and administrative confirmation at the bottom of the Agreement to Disclose Electronic Dissertations must be affixed); and □ submit to the Affiliated Department Office □ 4 copies of the dissertation, completed and printed according to the present Guidelines on the Completion and Submission of Master’s and Doctoral Dissertations, within the deadlines.

①	The submitter must send an electronic dissertation in the form of a computer file to “Thesis Submission” on the Library homepage (http://library.kaist.ac.kr)

②	The submitter must submit the Agreement to Disclose Electronic Dissertations (to be printed out from the library homepage and sealed or signed by the submitter and the department office).

③	The submitter must verify with the department office whether the title of the printed dissertation and the title of the dissertation on the CAIS agree with each other.

④	The submitter must submit 4 copies of the printed dissertation (2 hardcover editions; 2 softcover editions) with the Agreement to Disclose Electronic Dissertations.

C.	Deadlines for the Submission of Printed Dissertations : See “Schedule of Completion and Submission of Dissertations.“

D.	Deferral of the Conferment of Degrees

1)	The conferment of a degree in the same semester will be deferred if the student has failed to submit the printed dissertation in time or to graduate for other reasons regardless of whether the submitter’s dissertation has passed evaluation by the dissertation committee.

2)	In this case, the student must undergo a dissertation evaluation again during the following semester (applicable to all students submitting dissertations for evaluation in the spring 2003 semester and onwards).

E.	Disclosure of Electronic Dissertations

1)	In principle, printed dissertations must be disclosed. However, in case there exist special reasons not to disclose dissertations, an unofficial letter of confirmation by the submitter’s academic advisor (p.30) stipulating the reasons and the period must be attached.

2)	As for the disclosure of electronic dissertations, the submitter must select from among full disclosure and non-disclosure. In the case of non-disclosure, the reasons, conditions, and period must be stipulated in detail.

F.	Additional Remarks

The title of the printed dissertation and the title of the dissertation entered in the CAIS must agree (if they do not, the certificate of graduation will bear the wrong title).

Abstract

X-ray mammography is known as an efficient diagnosis method for detection of early stage breast cancers. The mammogram is a radiograph of the breast tissue and an effective non-invasive means of searching for breast cancers. Microcalcifications and masses are two main types of breast abnormalities. For the detection of breast cancer, mass detection is more difficult than microcalcification detection due to the fact that masses are obscured by normal breast parenchyma. Radiologists have performed mammogram interpretation by visual examination of the films for the abnormalities that can be interpreted as cancerous lesions. However, the observational oversights of radiologists and a large number of mammograms to be examined make readings intensive, cost ineffective, and inaccurate. The computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) will be useful to assist early diagnosis of breast cancers and to increase the diagnosis sensitivity of radiologists. The CAD system requires a multistage algorithm that includes detection and classification of suspicious lesions.

A computer program for optimal structural design with sub-structuring has been developed.  The program can handle large scale 2 or 3 dimensional structures with truss or beam elements.

The objective of optimal design is to minimize total structural weight, under constraints on stress level, displacement, and design variables.  The finite element method is used for the structural analysis part in the program, and a state space formulation of gradient projection method is used for the optimal design part.

As an illustrative application of the method, optimal designs of framed structures are presented.  Results of these examples are analyzed and presented.

Chapter 1. Introduction

1.1 Research Background

System models are simple and abstract expressions of specific systems designed to predict the behavior of the systems in question. Examples of such models include airplane models used in wind tunnels to predict the drag load of airplanes, structural models used in civil engineering, and breadboards used to design circuits. As the physical expressions of actual models, these models are called physical models.

유방 촬영술은 유방암의 조기 진단에 효율적인 진단 방법이다. 유방 영상은 유방암을 비침투적으로 찾을 수 있는 효과적인 방법이며 유방 영상에서 미세 석회화와 종괴는 두 가지의 중요한 악성 종양이다. 유방암을 검출하는 데 있어서 종괴가 미세 석회화보다 검출하기 어려운데, 그 이유는 정상적인 유방 실질과의 불분명한 경계로 인하여 구분이 힘들기 때문이다. 진단 방사선과 의사들은 유방암으로 의심되는 악성병 변의 존재 유무를 관찰한다.
