Elastic modulus of unidirectional short fiber composite has theoretically derived with the consideration of Poisson's ratios of matrix and fiber. Unidirectional short fiber composite is modeled as an aggregate of grains developed by Kerner. Under the assumption of extra strain at fiber ends, the strain distribution along the fiber's length is determined, and the elastic modulus is derived from this distribution. For the consideration of effects of Poisson's ratio, Kerner's results for particulate composites are adapted as boundary conditions. The effect of differences in Poisson's ratio of fiber and matrix on elastic modulus is studied. Proposed equation shows a good agreement with experimental data of Halpin and Tock, et al.

원전 연료는 이산화 우라늄의 원통형 소결체를 지르칼로이 피복관에 장입 시킨 원전 연료봉을 집합체 다발로 조립하여 제조된다. 지금까지 국산 연료에는 연료봉의 전길이에 대하여 일정한 농축도의 소결체가 장입 되도록 설계 및 제조되어 왔다. 그러나 Westinghouse의 V5H 연료에서는 연료봉의 상 하단에 각각 6 인치 길이의 천연 우라늄 소결체가 추가로 장입 되어야 하는 이른바 Axial Blanket 연료 제조 기술을 요구하고 있어서 새로운 장비의 도입 또는 개발이 필요하게 되었다. 기존의 소결체 장입 공정은 Siemens사에서 도입된 기술로써 연료봉 양단에 Axial Blanket을 장전 할 수가 멀게 되어 있다. 따라서 기술적으로 Axial Blanket 연료의 제조가 가능할 뿐 아니라 연료의 제조 건전성을 보다 향상시킬 수 있고 생산성이 우수한 장비를 국내 기술로 국산화 개발하였다.

최근 웹에서 XML(extensible markup languag) 문서들이 보편화됨에 따라, 기존의 DBMS를 이용하여 XML 문서를 효율적으로 저장하고 관리하는 방법에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행중이다. 이를 위하여 DTD(document type definition)로부터 데이타베이스 스키마를 생성하는 효율적인 방법이 필요하다. 그러나 지금까지는 대부분의 연구가 풍부한 모델링 기능을 제공하는 객체관계형 DBMS 대신에 관계령 DBMS 관점에서 진행되어왔다. 본 논문에서는 객체관계형 DRMS 인 오디세우스를 위한 XML 스키마 생성를 설계하고 구현한다 첫째. DTD로 부터 관계형 데이타베이스 스키마를 생성하는 기존의 방법을 객체관계형 DBMS의 중요한 모델링 기능인 집합 타입과 참조 타입을 이용하도록 수정한다. 둘째, 수정된 방법을 오디세우스 객체관계명 DBMS에 구현한다. 마기막으로, 구현을 용이하게 할 수 있도록 기존의 방법에서 예로서만 기술된 DTD 단순화 방법에 대만 구제적인 알고리즘을 제시한다.

This study presents a probabilistic knowledge discovery method to interpret heart rate variability (HRV) based on time and frequency domain indexes, extracted using discrete wavelet transform. The knowledge induction algorithm was composed of two phases: rule generation and rule estimation. Firstly, a rule generation converts numerical attributes to intervals using ROC curve analysis and constructs a reduced ruleset by comparing consistency degree between attribute-value pairs with different decision values. Then, we estimated three measures such as rule support, confidence, and coverage to a probabilistic interpretation for each rule. To show the effectiveness of proposed model, we evaluated the statistical discriminant power of five rules (3 for atrial fibrillation, 1 for normal sinus rhythm, and 1 for both atrial fibrillation and normal sinus rhythm) generated using a data (n=58) collected from 1 channel wireless holter electrocardiogram (ECG), i.e., HeartCall$^{(R)}$, U-Heart Inc. The experimental result showed the performance of approximately 0.93 (93%) in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and AUC measures, respectively.

Though relatively little is known of the physiology involved, there is reduced kidney activity during hibernation. In this experimental study, male Korean chipmunks (Tamias sibiricus barberi) were maintained in cold conditions ($6^{\circ}C$) for 9 months, in an attempt to mimic conditions occurring during seasonal hibernation. The examination was made to determine changes of glycoconjugates on the kidney after hibernation by lectin histochemistry. The changes of lectin affinities in the kidney categorize into three groups: a) increase ones only in the early hibernation stage b) increase ones during hibernation and c) decrease ones during hibernation. The transient increase of Con A affinity in the proximal convoluted tubules were demonstrated only in the early cold-treated stage, and PNA and Con A in the distal convoluted tubules and DBA and sWGA in the collecting tubules. SBA affinity tended to increase with hibernation in the proximal convoluted tubules, but sWGA affinities were significantly decreased in the all tubule examined with hibernation. The present results suggest that the glycosylation pattern of the kidney undergoes profound changes during hibernation, and is probably associated with transiently reduced renal function.

The Genetic algorithm is a search algorithm using evaluation, genetic operator, natural selection to populational solution iteratively. The convergence and divergence characteristic of genetic algorithm are affected by selection strategy, generation replacement method, genetic operator when genetic algorithm is designed. This paper proposes fast convergence genetic algorithm for time-limited robot path planning. In urgent situation, genetic algorithm for robot path planning does not have enough time for computation, resulting in quality degradation of found path. Proposed genetic algorithm uses fast converging selection strategy and generation replacement method. Proposed genetic algorithm also uses not only traditional crossover and mutation operator but additional genetic operator for shortening the distance of found path. In this way, proposed genetic algorithm find reasonable path in time-limited situation.

A temperature- and pressure-reducing process is utilized to handle the spent fuel assembly in the post-irradiation examination facility. This process includes three separated unit processes. First one is the decontamination process to clean the spent fuel assembly casks. The second process is the temperature-reducing process to reduce the temperature elevated by decay process in the spent fuel assembly. The third process is the filtration process to remove insoluble particles existed in the casks using filters. Up-to-date technologies as well as practical theories related to the temperature- and pressure-reducing process is reviewed in this report. The test-operation process for various tests and the test results of the temperature- and pressure-reducing process for J-44 and K-23 spent fuel assemblies are also described in detail. This report must be effectively used for the normal operation of the facility with the awareness of unprecedented problems which could occur by continuing operation of the PIE facility.

In this study, the detailed fuel assembly stress analysis model to evaluate the structural integrity for seismic and blowdown accidents is developed. For this purpose, as the first step, the program MAIN which identifies the worst bending mode shaped fuel assembly(FA) in core model is made. And the finite element model for stress calculation of FA components is developed. In the model the fuel rods (FRs) and the guide thimbles are modelled by 3-dimensional beam elements, and the spacer grid spring is modelled by a linear and relational spring. The constraints come from the results of the program MAIN. The stress analysis of the 16$\times$16 type FA under arbitary seismic load is performed using the developed program and modelling technique as an example. The developed stress model is helpful for the stress calculation of FA components for seismic and blowdown loads to evaluate the structural integrity of FA.

Daily doses of phenylmercuric acetate arranged in $30{\gamma}\;(group\;I)$, 3{\gamma}\;(group\;II)$ and $0.3{\gamma}\;(group\;III)$ were administered respectively to rabbits for 90 days. The chief histopathological changes in the organs and the analytical data on mercury residues in the excretion and liver were as follows. 1. Kidney: In group I, severe degrees of vacuolization and cloudy swelling were occurred in the epithelial cells of proximal convoluted tubules and severe cloudy swelling and coagulative necrosis were observed in the proximal straight tubules. There were many hyaline casts in the collecting tubules. In group II, moderate degrees of vacuolization and cloudy swelling were observed in the epithelial cells of proximal convoluted tubules and moderate cloudy swelling and coagulative necrosis were encountered in the proximal straight tubules. A little numbers of hyaline casts were located in the lumen of collecting tubules. In group III, slight degree of cloudy swelling were observed in the epithelial cells of proximal convoluted and straight tubules. 2. Liver: In group I, cloudy swelling, fatty changes and coagulative necrosis were observed in the central zone of hepatic lobules. Dissociation of hepatic cell cords was encountered. Hyperplsia of hepatic cells were remarkable in group II. No Pathological changes were observed in group III. 3. Spleen: Deposition of hemosiderin pigment was prominant in group I and small amount of the pigment was observed in group II. There were no pathological changes in group III. 4. Adrenal, colon and heart: No pathological changes were detected in all 3 groups. 5. In an average about 76.5% of mercury was excreted from group I, 85.4% from group II and 79.8% from group III. 6. Mercury content in the liver was 0.0348 g in group I, 0.00378 g and 0.00066 g in group II and group III respectively. 7. In general, as to increased mercury doses the concentration of mercury accumulation in the liver became higher, how·ever, the accumulation quantity against a total amount of mercury doses showed an adverse trend. In other word, the quantity of mercury accumulation was not increased proportionately by higher dose of mercury.

Tonicity-responsive enhancer binding protein(TonEBP) is a transcriptional factor essential in the function and development of the renal medulla. TonEBP plays a critical role in protecting renal medullary cells from the deleterious effect of hypertonicity. TonEBP is a key regulator of urinary concentration via stimulation of transcription of urea transporter(UT) in a manner independent of vasopressin. UT in the renal inner medulla is important for the conservation of body water due to its role in the urine concentrating mechanism. Mongolian gerbil(Meriones unguiculatus) has been as an model animal for studying the neurological disease such as stroke and epilepsy because of the congenital incomplete in Willis circle, as well as the investigation of water metabolism because of the long time-survival in the condition of water-deprived desert condition, compared with other species animal. In this study, we divide 3 groups of which each group include the 5 animals. In the study of 7 or 14 days water restricted condition, we investigated the TonEBP and UT-A by using a immunohistochemistry in the kidney. In the normal kidney, the distribution of TonEBP is generally localized on nuclei of inner medullary cells. Nuclear distribution of TonEBP is generally increased throughout the medulla in 7 and 14 days dehydrated group compared with control group. Increased nuclear localization was particularly dramatic in thin limbs. In control groups, UT-A was expressed in inner stripe of outer medulla(ISOM) and inner medulla(IM). UT-A was present in the terminal part of the short-loop of descending thin limbs (DTL) in ISOM and also present in the inner medullary collecting duct(IMCD), where the intensity of it gradually increased toward the papillary tip. In the dehydrated kidney, UT-A immunoreactivity was increased in the short-loop of DTL in ISOM and in the long-loop of DTL in the initial part of IM, where was expressed moderate positive reaction in the normal kidney. Also it was up regulated in the IMCD in initial & middle part of IM. However UT-A down regulated in the IMCD, where the intensity of it gradually decreased toward the papillary tip. These findings suggest that increased levels of TonEBP in medulla and UT-A in shot-loop of DTL and IMCD play a important role for maintain fluid balance in the water-deprived mongolian gerbil kidney.
