A new automatic group structure optimization method based on the perturbation theory was proposed for the few-group structure in two-step nuclear design procedure for VHTR. It applies the sensitivity coefficient of the perturbation theory which includes not only the effect of the cross section on the multiplication factor but also the adjoint weighted reaction rate. The sensitivity coefficient of the fine group for the multiplication factor was calculated and the group boundary for a few-group can be determined so that the summation of the fine group sensitivity for a few-group should be evenly distributed over every few-group. This method was successfully implemented in the ABGO code. VHTR-350 and MiHTR 2D core were used to investigate the performance and applicability of the proposed method. The code generated the new group structures for two cores and the error of the multiplication and reaction rate by the new group structure was compared with the result by the fine group structure. The comparisons indicate that the new group structure by the proposed method can provide the multiplication factor and reaction rates comparable to the existing group structure and more accurate results than the group structure obtained using the Contributon theory.

The short and long periodic perturbations and secular perturbation due to the geopotentials of degree $J_2$ and $J_3$ which affect orbital elements of a near-circular orbiting satellite are obtained by the analytical method. The singular points due to a small denominator e in the perturbation equations can be excluded using one of the methods introduced by Taff(1985), which substitutes $e_s=esin\omega,\;e_c=ecos\omega\;and\;\ell=\omega+M$ for the orbital elements e, $\omega$ and M. We determined the mean orbital elements of the meteorological satellite NOAA-10 using the Walter (1967)'s iterative procedure and compared with Brouwer's mean orbital elements determined at NASA. The mean orbital elements a, ⅰand $\Omega$ are consistent with those of NASA but the mean orgital elements e, $\omega$ and M have some deviations from those of NASA. According to the our results, it is not suitable for the polar orbiting satellites to use the Taff's proposal for excluding the singular points, which substitutes e, $\omega$ and M by $e_s=esin(\Omega+\omega),\;e_c=ecos(\Omega+\omega)\;and\;L=\Omega+\omega+M$.

We give a direct proof of the sharp two-sided estimates, recently established in [4, 9], for the Dirichlet heat kernel of the fractional Laplacian with gradient perturbation in $C^{1,1}$ open sets by using Duhamel's formula. We also obtain a gradient estimate for the Dirichlet heat kernel. Our assumption on the open set is slightly weaker in that we only require D to be $C^{1,{\theta}}$ for some ${\theta}{\in}({\alpha}/2,1]$.

Variation of radius vector was computed by Cowell's method. Perturbations due to the Sun, moon, and earth's asymmetrical potential are considered. We summarize our results as follows : I) $J_2$ term does not affect the equatorial orbit. ii) Large perturbation and secular variation on the above orbit are caused by tesseral harmonics. iii) The other perturbations have small effect and periodicity.

Delayed Detached-Eddy Simulation was conducted to investigate surface pressure coefficient distribution and surface pressure fluctuation over an ONERA 70-degree delta wing at a high angle of attack. Time-averaged surface pressure distribution is directly affected by the primary vortices, whereas the pressure fluctuation is influenced by the unsteady fluctuating boundary layer over the surface. And pressure coefficient, velocity, pressure fluctuation, and turbulent kinetic energy were analyzed along the vortex core in order to investigate the process of vortex breakdown. Consequently, strong pressure fluctuations were found where the vortex breakdown was occurred at x~620 mm. The turbulent kinetic energy abruptly increased and followed after the vortex breakdown.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of Task-oriented training on the balance, lapse time and MVC(Maximum Voluntary Contraction) of CVA(cerebral vascular accident) patients. The active balance equipment was used to measure of the static balance, lapse time and task-oriented training. The EMG technique was used to record muscle activitie of affected side of gluteus medius and vastus medialis. The raw EMG data were filtered with band pass filter (60Hz) to remove artifacts and then low pass filtered (20Hz) to find the linear envelope which resemble muscle tension curve. The experiment had been conducted at the department of physical therapy in J hospital in M city during 8weeks. The thirty patients experienced the stroke were participated: training group (15), control group (15). They were ambulatory with or without an assistive device. They were assessed on central perturbation(mm) in the static balance, lapse time(s) and MVC test(mV). The data were analyzed using repeated measured ANOVA. The results were as follows: After Task-oriented training, central perturbation and lapse time was significantly differences in both groups(p<.001), and MVC in gluteus medius were no significant differences in both groups, but vastus medialis was significant differences in both groups (p<.001).

Molecular geometries for the cationic and neutral species of OXO (X=Cl, Br, and I) are optimized using the Hartree-Fock (HF) theory, the second order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2), the density functional theory with the B3LYP hybrid functional (B3LYP), and the coupled cluster theory using single and double excitation with a perturbational treatment of triplet excitation (CCSD[T]) methods, with two basis sets of triple zeta plus polarization quality. The single point calculations for these species are performed at the CCSD(T,Full) level. The harmonic vibrational frequencies for these species are calculated at the HF, MP2, B3LYP and CCSD(T) levels. The adiabatic ionization potential for OIO is calculated to be 936.7 kJ/mol at the CCSD(T,Full) level and the correct value is estimated to be around 945.4 kJ/mol.

Atomized liquid jets from the washing nozzle which configured with recirculation chamber for cleaning hot-zone area are accelerated and impinged on the head lamp surface. Cleaning efficiency of head lamp can be increased with injecting washing fluids into the hot-zone area. Experimental and numerical studies with various design parameters were executed to reveal the relations between internal geometry and internal flow in the washing nozzle. Spray structures were fitted with each of the head lamp surfaces and spray nozzles were optimized to the spray pattern. The recirculation chamber induces a recirculation flow and can be decreased the pressures perturbation inside the chamber. Orifice determines the mass flow rate. When the diameter of orifice is excessively large, it showed an unstable spray pattern. As a nozzle exit angle increases, density distributions are separated with two section. Also, as a protrusion length of nozzle exit increases, spray patterns are spread into a large area and density distributions showed unstable trend.

Satellite formation flying is the placing micro-satellites with the same mission into nearby orbits to form a cluster. Clohessy-Wiltshire equations are used to describe the relative motion and control strategies between satellites within a cluster, which are known as Hill's equations. Even though Hill's equations are powerful in determining initial conditions for the satellite formation flying, they can not accurately express the relative motion under J2 perturbation. Some methods have been developed for the determination of initial conditions to avoid limits of Hill's equation. This paper gives a new method of determining initial conditions using mean elements. For this research mean elements were transformed to osculating elements using Brouwer's theory and the orbit was propaeated with the consideration of J2-J8 to get a relative position. The results show that satellites within a cluster are maintained in the desired boundary for long period and the method is effective on a fuel saving for satellite formation flying.

Active debris removal, a technology that approaches and removes space debris in orbit, and the on-orbit service, a technology for extending the mission life of satellites by fuel charging or by exchanging the battery, are gaining interest with the growth of the space community. SaTReC plans to develop a satellite capable of capturing and removing Korean satellites orbiting in space after the end of their missions. In contrast to the previously launched satellites by Korea, which were mainly intended to observe Earth and the space environment, rendezvous/docking technologies, as required in the future during, for instance, space exploration missions, will be implemented and demonstrated. In this paper, an orbital transition method for next-generation small satellites that will capture and remove space debris will be introduced. It is assumed that a small satellite with a mass of approximately 200 kg will be injected into the mission orbit through Korea Space Launch Vehicle-II in 2027. Because the satellite must access the target using a minimum amount of fuel, an approaching technology using Earth's J2 perturbation force has been developed. This method is expected to enable space debris removal missions for relatively lightweight satellites and to serve as the basis for carrying out a new type of space exploration in what is termed the 'Newspace' era.
