A new balancing method of atrial pressures balancing for the moving actuator total artificial heart(TAH) without an extra compliance chamber was developed. The asymmetric operation of the pendulous moving actuator have made it possible to compensate the left and right pump output difference by utilizing the interventricular air space as an internal compliance chamber in a pump housing. Furthermore, the balancing performance between left and right pump outputs is increased through the improvement of the flexibility of part of the polyurethane housing. However, the increase of the flexibility of the pump housing causes a little loss of the cardiac output due to the reduction of active filling property. In this paper., a good condition between the balance and pump output performance is evaluated by adjusting the air volume in the interventricular space through a series of in vitro experiments. This new pump was implanted in a sheep weighting 63kg, and it survived for 3 days and the average cardiac output during postoperative days was about 4.2 L/mim with the atrial pressures under 15 mmHg.

In this study, an integrated boration and dilution (INBAD) model is proposed to predict the required makeup flowrate for RCS boron concentration change and to analyze the boron concentration behavior at each subsystem within the RCS including CVCS during boration and dilution operation. The INBAD model is constructed by integrating an existing neutronic code and a boration and dilution model. The boration and dilution model has been developed for our specific purpose using the one-cell model and multi-cell model. In addition, in order to assess the boron concentration behavior more realistically, two important features such as variable pressurizer heater output and optional makeup mode (either direct or indirect injection) are implemented in this model. In order to demonstrate the usefulness of this model, the boron concentration behavior analysis at each subsystem were performed for both direct and indirect injection mode using YGN 3 and 4 design data. Also, the effect of pressurizer heater output on the primary loop boron concentration was investigated. The results showed that the boron concentration changes can be predicted accurately at each subsystem during boration and dilution operation.

Although aerial LiDAR had been launched commercially several years ago, it is still difficult to study data acquisition conditions and effects with various datasets because of its acquisition cost. Thus, this research was performed to study data acquisition conditions and effects with virtually various datasets. For this research, 3D tree models and forest stand models were built to represent graded tree sizes and tree plantation densities. Also, a variable aerial LiDAR acquisition model was developed. Then, through controlling flight height parameter, one of the data acquisition parameters, virtual datasets were collected for various data acquisition densities. From those datasets, forest canopy volumes and maximum tree heights were estimated and the estimated results were compared. As the results, the estimated is getting closer to the expected during the data acquisition density increase. This research would be helpful to perform further studios on relations between forest inventory accuracy and LiDAR cost.

The effects of external flow excitation with various frequencies and amplitudes on the flame behavior and pollution emission characteristics from a laminar jet flame are experimentally investigated. Measurements of $NO_x$ emission indices ($EINO_x$), performed in vertical lifted flame like turbulent with various exciting amplitude at a constant resonance frequency, have been conducted. It was also conducted to investigate the effects of excited frequency at a constant exciting amplitude on $NO_x$ emissions with a various frequency ranged 0 Hz to 2 KHz. From the vertical lifted turbulent flame of the excited jet with resonance frequency by strong excitation was shown that the dependence of $NO_x$ emission could be categorized into three groups Group I of long flame length with high disturbances yielding high $NO_x$ emission, Group II of intermediate flame length and relative narrow flame volume with low disturbance yielding low $NO_x$ emission and Group III of long flame length and large flame volume with high time ＆ space disturbances behaviour yielding high $NO_x$ emission.

The traveling wave tube amplifier (TWTA), which can be applied to the Ka-band millimeter-wave multi-mode seeker, consists of an high voltage power supply(HVPS), a grid modulator, a command and control, and an RF assembly. We designed a power supply that generates a -17.9 kV high voltage by synchronizing the pulse repetition frequency(PRF) and power supply switching frequency(i.e. synchronization frequency), and a high-speed grid-switching modulator for RF pulse modulation. The TWTA, which is fabricated through miniaturization with a volume of 3.18 L, has high pulse switching characteristics of up to 18.5 ns. The maximum rise/fall time of the grid on/bias signal and peak power is more than 564.9 W. Moreover, an excellent spurious performance of -68.4 dBc or less was confirmed within the range of PRF and PRF/2.

The currently considered pyrotechnic separation nut is separated through the complicated process, because it has many internal moving parts and two variable-volume chambers connected by the vent hole. Therefore, it has many design parameters. Some of these are the contact angles between internal moving parts, the masses of the internal moving parts, the inner diameter of the push rod protrusion, the initial volumes of the chambers, the mass of the explosive charge, and the diameter of the vent hole. To improve the pyrotechnic separation nut, it is necessary to understand how the behavior of the separation nut is changed according to design parameters. In this point of view, parametric studies are carried out using the previously proposed prediction model for pyrotechnic separation nut behaviors. In each case, the parameter of the interest is changed while the others are kept unchanged. From the results, it is investigated how each design parameter influences the separation behavior.

This study was conducted under the judgement that there was a need to make several mentions by reference to studies about the spatial composition of the traditional village. The judgement was not about the dimension that there was a problem about the spatial composition of the existing village but that it would be effective to make a fresh reorganization of it in a little more detail. As a result, this study presented seven spaces in the spatial composition of the traditional village. It attempted to analyze it by dividing it into four spaces such as ① natural space, ② residential space and work space, ③ moving space and boundary space and ④ play space and ritual space to fit its basic nature. First of all, it made a pictorial presentation of the basic form of the spatial composition of the traditional farming village in the late Joseon Dynasty which was most general and whose form has been handed down up to the present. And it described the composition of each space accordingly. It was not intended for a specific village. So it presented the historical change, the behavior of the members surrounding the village and a difference according to the nature of the village, which were judged to be very important in explaining the items of the composition of each space. As a result, it was found that the spatial composition of the traditiona Korean village well embodied the framework of their life in terms of their view of nature, lifestyle and worldview. The view of nature acted on the spatial composition of the village as a whole and is well reflected in the natural space in particular. Their lifestyle is reflected in the residential space, farming space, moving space and play space, and their worldview is spcifically mirrored in the boundary space and ritual space. In particular, this study focused on how to take a look at the element of Feng-Shui in discussing the spatial composition of the village.
