Assumed that an IPTV camera system is to be used as an ad-hoc sensor for the surveillance and diagnostics of safety-critical equipments installed in the in-containment building of the nuclear power plant, an major problem is the presence of high dose-rate gamma irradiation fields inside the one. In order to uses an IPTV camera in such intense gamma radiation environment of the in-containment building, the radiation-weakened devices including a CCD imaging sensor, FPGA, ASIC and microprocessors are to be properly shielded from high dose-rate gamma radiation using the high-density material, lead or tungsten. But the passive elements such as mirror, lens and window, which are placed in the optical path of the CCD imaging sensor, are exposed to a high dose-rate gamma ray source directly. So, the gamma-ray irradiation characteristics of the passive elements, is needed to test. A CCD camera lens, made of glass material, have been gamma irradiated at the dose rate of 4.2 kGy/h during an hour up to a total dose of 4 kGy. The radiation induced color-center in the glass lens is observed. The degradation performance of the gamma irradiated lens is explained using an color component analysis.

This study was performed to find out variation of carbonation progress of agricultural hydraulic concrete structures along the used years with using Thermo Gravimetric analysis/Differential Thermal Analysis(TG/DTA) and Indicator(phenolphthalein). In this study some conclusions such as follows were derived. Firstly, The result that the age of structures and the content of $Ca(OH)_{2}\;and\;CaCO_{3}$ in concrete have proportional relationships was found in the method of TG/DTA. This relational functions could be used to estimate remain lifetime of structures, obtaining the limits of the content of $CaCO_{3}$ in concrete which reinforcement corrosion could be occurred with breaking protection cover of alkalinity. Second, if the result of strength, voids, permeability characteristics could be combined with this relational function this may be able to be used as a new more accurate assessment technique for the quality of concrete than current usual methods. Third, environmental affect could be more superintendent for concrete carbonation than the age of agricultural hydration structures. Forth, It is difficult to estimate the used year of agricultural hydraulic concrete structures with the carbonation depth measured by indicator method. Finally, the accuracy of this relational function could be decided to be upgraded with continue analysis for more structures.

Quality of concrete required to achieve the desired levels of strength and durability depend on the effectiveness of the curing method. During cold weather, the concrete at the time of placement should be taken to prevent damage to concrete due to freezing. Since the cement-water reaction is exothermic by nature, the temperature within mass concrete can be quite high. The temperature control for massive sections should be taken more careful than for shallow sections. However, in the constructing hydraulic structures, the curing temperature control for concrete had been very difficult to be taken in a proper way because the conditions constructing them are poor and contractors are small enterprises. For several. reasons including above, Rural Research Institute has developed a device and program for recording curing temperature history in cold weather concrete and mass. As there are two major advantages of the device, namely cheapness and availability, this program and device has been recommended to the use of curing temperature control in cold weather concrete and mass.

In real-time communication services, delay constraints are among the most important QoS (Quality of Service) factors. In particular, it is difficult to guarantee the delay requirement over wireless channels, since they exhibit dynamic time-varying behavior and even severe burst-errors during periods of deep fading. Channel throughput may be increased, but at the cost of the additional delays when ARQ (Automatic Repeat Request) schemes are used. For real-time communication services, it is very essential to predict data deliverability. This paper derives the delay distribution and the successful delivery probability within a given delay budget using a priori channel model and a posteriori information from the perspective of queueing theory. The Gilbert-Elliot burst-noise channel is employed as an a Priori channel model, where a two-state Markov-modulated Bernoulli process $(MMBP_2)$ is used. for a posteriori information, the channel parameters, the queue-length and the initial channel state are assumed to be given. The numerical derivation is verified and analyzed via Monte Carlo simulations. This numerical derivation is then applied to a rate control scheme for real-time video transmission, where an optimal encoding rate is determined based on the future channel capacity and the distortion of the reconstructed pictures.

The building that supply tidal and splash zone was constructed near Seamangeum Gate Bridge. The specimens that will be tested for maintenance of gate bridge were exposed on the tidal and splash zone, totally about 650. The characteristics of strength, salt penetration profile, field application of surface repair material and section recover material will be acquired by periodical test. The program was developed to obtain optimal maintenance strategy of gate bridge as a marine concrete structure and to deposit experimental data, lab. test result, field test result, on its D/B. On this paper, the comparison of concrete and recover material in the salt penetration characteristics was expressed. The quantitative analysis of salt contents in concrete surface was most important so the improvement for the machine of gathering power of concrete and the apparatus of measuring chloride contents was proceeded at this time. The two conclusions were summarized like as - The resistance of chloride attack of concrete was appeared 2.5 times bigger than that of recover material - The resistance of chloride attack of polymer series was appeared more higher than that of others.

This paper proposes a double sliding surfaces based on a sliding mode control for a tracking control of nonholonomic mobile robots in the Cartesian coordinates. In order to remove sliding surface constraints, we design the additional sliding surface for the heading angle with respect to the newly defined coordinates. Then, we define the switching law based on the posture error to combine the designed sliding surface with the previous one. By using the double sliding surfaces and the switching law, we obtain the control law for arbitrary trajectories. It is proved that the position tracking error and the heading direction error asymptotically converge to zero, respectively, with the Lyapunov stability theory. Finally, through computer simulations, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control system.

Because of the development of digital technology, modern digital instrumentation & control systems are being innovativly developed in industrial plants. Whereas, many analog systems are still being used in nuclear plants, because of the demerits of digital equipment. As known, the demerits of digital equipment are the uncertainty and weaknesses in ambient environments such as smoke & electromagnetic interference In an Integral Reactor, a digital I&C system will be composed of microprocessor, memory and network card. Designers will apply new technique for digital equipment. Thus, it is important for digital I&C systems to operate according to designed functions & performance in the ambient environments during a life cycle. Digital I&C systems should have tolerance in such environments and environment qualification should be concluded To acquire electromagnetic interference qualification of digital equipment, this paper suggests an EMI test requirement. Designers should consider the electromagnetic compatibility and test digital equipment according to each test procedure. This paper involves an EMI test requirement and the results analysis of EUT(Equipment Under Test). Test result analysis will be used as electromagnetic compatibility design guides for Integral Reactor I&C systems.

Measuring task complexity of movement skill is an important factor to evaluate a difficulty of learning and/or imitating a task for autonomous robots. Although many complexity-measures are proposed in research areas such as neuroscience, physics, computer science, and biology, there have been little attention on the robotic tasks. To cope with measuring complexity of robotic task, we propose an information-theoretic measure for task complexity of movement skills. By modeling proprioceptive as well as exteroceptive sensor data as multivariate Gaussian distribution, movements of a task can be modeled as probabilistic model. Additionally, complexity of temporal variations is modeled by sampling in time and modeling as individual random variables. To evaluate our proposed complexity measure, several experiments are performed on the real robotic movement tasks.
