노심 외각에 설치되어 노심 외각으로 누설되는 중성자를 검출하여 노심내의 출력 변화를 지시해 주는 노외계측기(Excore Detector)는 운전중 노심의 변화를 정확히 감지하도록 정기적으로 교정되어져야 한다. 노외계측기는 노내계측기(Incore Detector)를 통하여 측정되어진 축방향 출력편차(Axial Offset)를 이용하여 교정하고 있다. 기존의 방법은 노내계측기로 최소한 4회 노심 출력을 측정하여 최소자승법(Least Square Method)으로 상수들을 구한후 노외계측기를 교정한다. 여기서 소개되는 단순 노외계측기 교정법은 노내계측기로 2회 측정되어진 자료들을 이용하는 2점 교정법과 1회 측정되어진 자료들을 이용하는 1점 교정법으로, 계측기 반응상수(Detector Response Factor)를 계산한후 교정되어진 노외계측기의 출력편차를 측정값과 비교하였다. 위의 두가지 방법을 고리 3호기 9주기, 10주기에 적용하여 노심 운전영역(~$\pm$10%)에서 2점 교정법은 최대 1.40 %, 1점 교정법은 최대 0.63 %의 오차를 보여주고 있다. 단순 노외계측기 교정법은 노심출력을 1회 또는 2회 측정하므로 교정시간을 줄이고 제어봉의 사용을 억제하여 방사성 폐기물을 감소시키는 효과와 기존의 교정 방법과 같은 정확성을 기대할수 있다.

운전중 노심의 출력변화를 감시하는 노외계측기(Excore Detector)는 노내계측기(Incore Detector)를 통하여 측정되어진 축방향 출력편차(Axial Offset)를 이용하여 교정되고 있다. 노외 계측기의 전류와 축방향출력편차의 선형적인 관계를 가정하여 노내계측기로 최소한 4회 노심출력을 측정한후 최소자승법(Least Square Method)으로 비례상수들을 구하는 기존의 방법을 대신하여, 단순 노외계측기 교정법은 노내계측기로 1회 측정되어진 자료들을 이용하여 계측기 반응상수(Detector Response Factor)를 계산한 후 비례상수를 계산한다. 계측기반응상수는 2차원 중성자수송모델로부터 계산된 weighting factor와 3차원 확산이론으로부터 구한 노심출력을 이용하여 계산된다. 중성자수송계산은 (R-Z)와 (R-$ heta$)모델을 합성하여 3차원 weighting factor를 계산하므로 축방향 영향뿐만 아니라 집합체별 영향을 고려하였다. 또한 노심의 복잡한 구조로 인하여 근사적인 weighting (actor와 노심출력분포의 사용은 노외계측기의 전류와 계측기반응율의 불일치를 초래하며, 이를 해결하는 상수를 소개하여 보다 정확한 교정결과를 얻도록하였다. 이와 같은 방법을 고리 3호기 9, 10주기 전주기와 11주기초에 적용하여 노심의 연소분포, 냉각수의 온도분포, 노심의 연소도, 노심출력준위등에 대한 단순 노외계측기 교정법의 오차를 분석하여 최적의 노외계측기 교정모델을 제시하였다. 2차원 중성자수송모델 합성법에 의한 단순노외계측기 교정법은 2차원 (R-Z) 중성자수송모델보다 개선된 결과와 평균오차 0.179% 최대 오차 0.624%를 보여주고 있다.하면 조사 후의 조직안정성에도 크게 기여할 것으로 기대된다.EX>O가 각각 첨가된 경우, Ar-4vol.%H$_2$ 분위기보다 H$_2$분위기에서 소결했을 때 밀도가 더 높았다. 그러나, 결정립은 $UO_2$와 $UO_2$-Li$_2$O의 경우, 수소분위기에서 소결했을 때, (U,Ce)O$_2$와 (U,Ce)O$_2$-Li$_2$O에서는 Ar-4vol.%H$_2$분위기에서 소결했을 때 더욱 성장하였다.설명해 줄 수 있다. 넷째, 불규칙적이며 종잡기 힘들고 단편적인 것으로만 보이던 중간언어도 일정한 체계 속에서 변화한다는 사실을 알 수 있다. 다섯째, 종전의 오류 분석에서는 지나치게 모국어의 영향만 강조하고 다른 요인들에 대해서는 다분히 추상적인 언급으로 끝났지만 이 분석을 통 해서 배경어, 목표어, 특히 중간규칙의 역할이 괄목할 만한 것임을 가시적으로 관찰할 수 있 다. 이와 같은 오류분석 방법은 학습자의 모국어 및 관련 외국어의 음운규칙만 알면 어느 학습대상 외국어에라도 적용할 수 있는 보편성을 지니는 것으로 사료된다.없다. 그렇다면 겹의문사를 [-wh]의리를 지 닌 의문사의 병렬로 분석할 수 없다. 예를 들어 누구누구를 [주구-이-ν가] [누구누구-이- ν가]로부터 생성되었다고 볼 수 없다. 그러므로 [-wh] 겹의문사는 복수 의미를 지닐 수 없 다. 그러면 단수 의미는 어떻게 생성되는가\ulcorner 본 논문에서는 표면적 형태에도 불구하고 [-wh]의미의 겹의문사는 병렬적 관계의 합성어가 아니라 내부구조를 지

A health monitoring system becomes a useful tool to obtain information on long term behavior of the important railway structures such as very long span and special type bridges. The health monitoring system not only gives the direct measurement data of the railway bridges but also provides the basic data on the maintenance of the structures. Therefore, periodic calibrations of the health monitoring system will be a necessary step toward precise and accurate assessment of the railway bridges. In this study, the calibration and gauge factor readjustment process made for the health monitoring system installed in the railroad bridges is reviewed and some findings are explained in detail: specifically, the calibrators made for this purpose are illustrated and the regression processes of the calibration on long-term displacement using water level sensor, longitudinal displacement using LVDT sensor, instantaneous displacement using LVDT sensors and accelerometer are described in full length. Based on the regression results, it was found that the gauge factors need to be readjusted according to the regression equation but, since the deviation or shift is not serious so far, long-term observation on each sensor is also recommended. Future work will be concentrated on the long-term analysis of each sensor and on the database creation so that the assessment of the structures is possible.

By calculating the differences between two images, which are captured with the same scene at different time, we can detect a set of outliers, such as occluding objects due to moving vehicles. To reduce the influence from the different intensity properties of the images, a simple technique that reruns the regression, which is based on the polynomial regression model, is employed. For a robust detection of outliers, the image difference is normalized by the noise variance. Hence, an accurate estimate of the noise variance is very important. In this paper, using an empirically obtained correction constant is proposed. Numerical analysis using both synthetic and real images are also shown in this paper to show the robust performance of the detection algorithm.

Time-consuming experiments have been required in the development of neutron moisture gauge to induce a relation between the water content in soil and the neutron counts. Applying a monte carlo computer code to simulate the experiments of neutron moisture gauging may contribute to reduce time and efforts for experiments and produce a calibration equation which is more applicable to soil in general. In this study MCNP4A, a monte carlo computer code, was employed to simulate soil experiments and the simulated results were compared with experimental ones. The comparative study showed that MCNP4A is applicable to simulate the experiments and calibration equation can be obtained through simulations. Effects of dry density changes were also studied.

A health monitoring system becomes a very useful tool to obtain information on long term behavior of the important railway structures such as very long span and special type bridges. It can be also used to give a warning signal to the maintenance engineer when the structure shows abnormal behavior. However, due to long term use and temperature changes, the health monitoring system needs to be calibrated periodically. In this study, calibration and gauge factor readjustment process made for the health monitoring system installed in the railroad bridges and tunnel are reviewed and a few findings are updated. Future work will be concentrated on the long-term analysis of the measurement data and on the database structures so that the assessment of the structure is possible

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the status of a unilateral palatally impacted maxillary canine (as seen on the panoramic radiograph) and the orthodontic treatment duration. Methods: A total of 36 subjects were chosen (8 males and 28 females, $13.7{\pm}2.5$ years). All patients had undergone orthodontic traction of the impacted canine after a closed flap surgery. The position of impacted canine on the panoramic radiograph was traced and calculated with regard to the treatment duration. Results: The canine overlap over the lateral incisor (COGr) had significant statistical difference between the short-term and the long-term treatment duration groups (divided by average treatment time of 21 months) (p<0.05). Multiple regression indicated that the variables of significance (with treatment duration as the dependent variable) were the canine vertical height from the occlusal plane $(HCV,\;r^2=0.115;\;p<0.05)$ and the mandibular anterior width $(MnDW,\;r^2=0.142;\;p<0.05)$. The treatment duration, the canine angle to the incisor midline (CA), and HCV decreased from primary dentition (under 12 yrs) to permanent dentition (15 yrs). Howerer, these increased again at the adolescent ages (over 16 yrs). Conclusion: These findings suggested that orthodontic treatment of a palatally impacted canine would show good prognosis at an age of early permanent dentition with the canine showing smaller CA and HCV.

We measured the absorbed dose and the area dose using an ionization chamber type of area dose product (DAP) meter and measured the calibration factor in the X-ray examination. In the indirect dose measurement method, the detector was installed in the radiation part of the X-ray equipment, and the measured value was calculated as the dose at the exposure part. The instrument used to calculate the calibration factor was an X-ray equipment (DK-550R / F, DongKang Medical Co., Ltd., Seoul, Korea). The calibration method for the calibration factor was to connect the DAP meter (PD-8100, Toreck Co. Ltd., Japan) to the calibration dosimeter tube voltage of 70 kV, tube current of 500 mA, 0.158 sec. The reference dosimeter used a semiconductor (DOSIMAX plus A, Scanditronix, $Wellh{\ddot{o}}fer$, Germany). After installing the DAP meter on the front of the multi-collimator of the ionization chamber, the calibration factor of the dosimeter was obtained using the reference dosimeter for accurate dose measurement. Experimental exposure values and values from the calibration dosimeter were calculated by multiplying each calibration factor. The calibration factor was calculated as 1.045. In order to calculate the calibration coefficient according to the tube voltage in the ionization type DAP dosimeter, the absorbed dose and the area dose were calculated and the calibration factor was calculated. The corrective area dose was calculated by calculating the calibration factor of the DAP meter.

A method is presented by which precise evaluation of radioactive concentrations in liquid or gaseous effluent released from large nuclear facilities is possible. Calculations have been made of the calibration constants at different energies for a commonly used liquid and gaseous effluent monitors as well. It is expected that the method could be applicable to the particular monitors with different geometrical configuration with simple modifications.

The Geostationary Ocean Color Imager-II (GOCI-II) is a satellite designed for ocean color observation, covering the Northeast Asian region and the entire disk of the Earth. It commenced operations in 2020, succeeding its predecessor, GOCI, which had been active for the previous decade. In this study, we aimed to enhance the atmospheric correction algorithm, a critical step in producing satellite-based ocean color data, by performing cross-calibration on the GOCI-II near-infrared (NIR) band using the GOCI NIR band. To achieve this, we conducted a cross-calibration study on the top-of-atmosphere (TOA) radiance of the NIR band and derived a vicarious calibration gain for two NIR bands (745 and 865 nm). As a result of applying this gain, the offset of two sensors decreased and the ratio approached 1. It shows that consistency of two sensors was improved. Also, the Rayleigh-corrected reflectance at 745 nm and 865 nm increased by 5.62% and 9.52%, respectively. This alteration had implications for the ratio of Rayleigh-corrected reflectance at these wavelengths, potentially impacting the atmospheric correction results across all spectral bands, particularly during the aerosol reflectance correction process within the atmospheric correction algorithm. Due to the limited overlapping operational period of GOCI and GOCI-II satellites, we only used data from March 2021. Nevertheless, we anticipate further enhancements through ongoing cross-calibration research with other satellites in the future. Additionally, it is essential to apply the vicarious calibration gain derived for the NIR band in this study to perform vicarious calibration for the visible channels and assess its impact on the accuracy of the ocean color products.
