Using the mathematical model suggested by Bennet et al.(1992), the reflection and transmission coefficients by a circular pile breakwater has been investigated in the framework of potential theory. Flow separation due to sudden contraction and expansion is generated and is the main cause of significant energy loss. Therefore, evaluation of exact energy loss coefficient is critical to enhance the reliability of mathematical model. To obtain the energy loss coefficient, 2-dimensional turbulent flow is analyzed using the FLUENT commercial code. The energy loss coefficient can be obtained from the pressure difference between upstream and downstream. Energy loss coefficient is the function of porosity and the relation equation between them is suggested throughout the curve fitting processing. To validated the suggested relation, comparison between the analytical results and the experimental results is made for four different porosities with good agreement.

The primary objective of this study was to assess the energy efficiency performance of an optimized hull form capable of saving energy based on existing vessels. The bow shape of existing vessels was investigated, giving consideration to design draft and speed. Resistance performances were also assessed for existing vessels according to operating conditions. Commercial CFD codes and model test materials were used to assess effective power. An optimized hull form with minimum resistance was selected given real operating conditions. The effective horsepower of existing and optimized vessels was estimated at three speeds. Resistance performance for an optimized vessel showed a 6 % improvement in effective horsepower at design speed (12 knots) compared to existing vessels. Quasi-propulsive efficiency employed experimental data, while energy efficiency performance was analyzed based on operating days, bunker fuel oil C cost, daily fuel oil consumption and specific fuel oil consumption. Energy efficiency performance for an optimized vessel showed a gain of 30 million won per year in reduced costs at design speed (12 knots) compared to existing vessels.

Gas target chamber has been developed for producing $^{123}I$ which is radiopharmaceuticals for diagnosis of thyroid cancer, and modeled how to occur nuclear reaction between chamber and $^{124}Xe$ with energy 30MeV inside the gas target chamber by using the MCNPX. The beam energy was lost as the beam spread when beam hit inside the gas target chamber. The cooling water was used not to change the gas target chamber as loss of energy transfer to the thermal energy. Spiral cooling line was designed for cooling the target chamber efficiently. By using the c30 cyclotron, $^{124}Xe(p,2n)$, $^{124}Xe(p,n)$, $^{124}Xe(p,pn)$ nuclear reactions were studied. In this study, we predict the production yield.

Several researchers have pointed out that the energy consumption in memory takes a dominant fraction on the energy budget of a whole embedded system. This applies to the embedded Java virtual machine tn, and to develop a more energy-efficient JVM it is absolutely necessary to optimize the energy usage in Jana memory. In this paper we have analyzed the logical memory access pattern in JVM as it executes numerous number of bytecode instructions while running a Java program. The access pattern gives us an insight how to design and select a suitable memory technology for Java memory. We present the memory access pattern for the three logical data spaces of JVM: heap, operand stack, and local variable array. The result saws that operand stack is accessed most frequently and uniformly, whereas heap used least frequently and non-uniformly among the three. Both heap and local variable array are accessed mostly in read-only fashion, but no remarkable difference is found between read and write operations for operand stack usage.

We have investigated output characteristics of XeCI excimer laser excited by transeverse electronbeam. We used e-beam output of 880 kV, 21 kA (70 ns, FWHM) and controlled current density of e-beam by pulsed magnetic coil (4.7 kG) which was fabricated around an e-beam diode (A-K gap is 21 mm) and laser chamber. We have obtained 35 J (4 atm) of e-beam deposition energy injected into laser media. The deposition energy was converted from an exposure area of Radcolor film and rising pressure of gas media which is measured by pressure jump method. The excited volume of $320cm^{3}$ was calculated. The maximum efficiency of 1.7% was obtained with the mixing ratio of HCllXe/Ar==0.2/ 6.3/93.5% and total pressure of 3 atm. Also laser output energy and specific energy were obtained 0.52 J and 1.7 J/I, respectively. For the analysis of experimental results we have developed computer simulation code. From the good agreements with the results of experiment and simulation we could theoretically explain the XeCI* formation channel. relaxation channel, and absorption channel of 308 nm.308 nm.

p-Snake is an energy minimizing algorithm that applies an additional prototype energy to the existing Active Contour Model and is used to extract the contour line in the area where the edge information is unclear. In this paper suggested the creation of a prototype energy field that applies a variable prototype expressed as a combination of circle and straight line primitives, and a fudge function, to improve p-Snake's contour extraction performance. The prototype was defined based on the parts codes entered and the appropriate initial contour was extracted in each primitive zones acquired from the pre-processing process. Then, the primitives variably adjusted to create the prototype and the contour probability based on the distance to the prototype was calculated through the fuzzy function to create the prototype energy field. This was applied to p-Snake to extract the contour from 100 images acquired from various small parts and compared its similarity with the prototype to find that p-Snake made with the adaptive prototype was about 4.6% more precise than the existing Snake method.

This study was intended to estimate Hp(10) recommended by the ICRU using the $CaSO_4:Dy,P$ element developed in the KAERI. For the estimation of Hp(10), TL response should be compensated properly through the energy range using filter materials since $CaSO_4:Dy,P$ is of severe photon energy dependent response. Various experiments and computations using Monte Carlo Code were carried out for designing filter satisfying the performance requirements of the ISO related to TL dosimeter. Under the completed filter, the relative response of $CaSO_4:Dy,P$ showed $0.75{\sim}1.0$ for photons in the range of $20{\sim}662keV$. Especially it was possible to reduce the thickness of front filter and simplify the filter combination with rear filter of larger diameter and to considerably improve angular dependence by introducing taper to the filler.

Local monitoring is an effective technique in securing data of wireless sensor networks. Existing solutions require high communication cost for detecting false data and this results in a network lifetime being shortened. This paper proposes novel techniques of monitoring based secure data aggregation and filtering false data in wireless sensor networks. The aim is to reduce energy consumption in securing data aggregation. An aggregator and its monitoring node perform data aggregation in a 60o sextant cluster. By checking Message Authentication Codes (MAC), aggregation data will be dropped by a forward aggregator if data aggregated by the aggregator and data monitored by the monitoring node are inconsistent. The simulation shows that the proposed protocol can reduce the amount of average energy consumption about 64% when comparing with the Data Aggregation and Authentication protocol (DAA)[1]. Additionally, the network lifetime of the proposed protocol is 283% longer than that of DAA without any decline in data integrity.

Mitigation of fast neutron irradiation damage on reactor vessel and improvement of mechanical integrity are desired for the successful plant life-time extension. In this study, the performance of metallic hydride for this application is reviewed and compared. First, selected prospective metallic hydrides are evaluated by MCNP code and put into the attenuation test using Cf-252 neutron source. Since for the reactor application high moderation and reflection with no absorption are favored, Z factor is introduced for the evaluation. According to the Z value estimation $ZrD_2$ and $TiD_2$ are turned out to be the most favorable fast neutron shielding materials. More thorough evaluation by computer simulation and experimentally, will be followed.
