The 3D simulations for the Rotary Specimen Rack (RSR), the shielding concret, and the reactor core dismantling processes in the Korea Research Reactor-1&2(KRR-1&2) were carried out in the present work. The four main dismantling items, which are the RSR, reactor core, beam tube, and the thermal column and the shield concrete, were selected among the many components in the KRR-2 by consideration of the activation, worker training, difficulty of the work and so on. On the basis of these, we built 3D CAD models, selected the proper dismantling technologies, and reviewed their dismantling processes. In this study, the 3D simulation results of the shielding concrete, and the reactor core dismantling processes are also presented and discussed.

surface texture denotes set of tiny repetitive geometric features on an object surface. 3D Printing can readily create a surface of controlled macro-textures of high geometric complexity. Designing surface textures for 3D Printing, however, is difficult due to complex macro-structure of the tiny texture geometry since it needs to be compatible with the non-traditioal manufacturing method. In this paper we propose a visual simulation technique involving development of a virtual model-an intermediate geometric model-of the surface texture design prior to fabricating the physical model. Careful examination of the virtual model before the actual fabrication can help minimize unwanted design iterations. The proposed technique demonstrated visualization capability by comparing the virtual model with the physical model for several test cases.

This study focuses on whether a physical habitat model, River2D, is useful to assess and design stream restoration. To achieve the aim, the habitat suitability for Zacco Platypus was analyzed using River2D at midstream of the Anyang-Cheon through modifying the low flow channel and changing the flow discharge. The River2D simulation results show that the inhabited environment for Zacco Platypus is improved by increasing the sinuosity of the low flow channel, and vice versa. Also the inhabited environment for Zacco Platypus gets worse when there is no additional flow for maintenance water supply at the stream flowing through cities. In this respect, the physical habitat simulation study based on the River2D model is useful because it provides a practical guidance in designing stream restoration.

Computed tomography (CT) can completely digitize the interior and the exterior of nearly any object without any destruction. Generally, the resolution for industrial CT is below a few microns. The industrial CT scanning, however, has a limitation because it requires long measuring and processing time. Whereas, 2D X-ray imaging is fast. In this paper, we propose a novel concept of 3D non-destructive inspection technique using the advantages of both micro-CT and dual X-ray images. After registering the master object’s CT data and the sample objects’ dual X-ray images, 3D non-destructive inspection is possible by analyzing the matching results. Calculation for the registration is accelerated by parallel computing using graphics processing unit (GPU).

We present a robust 3D facial reconstruction method using a single image generated by face-specific super resolution technique. Based on the several consecutive frames with low resolution, we generate a single high resolution image and a three dimensional facial model based on it. To do this, we apply PME method to compute patch similarities for SR after two-phase warping according to facial attributes. Based on the SRI, we extract facial features automatically and reconstruct 3D facial model with basis which selected adaptively according to facial statistical data less than a few seconds. Thereby, we can provide the facial image of various points of view which cannot be given by a single point of view of a camera.

There are many people who suffer from simulation sickness when immersing in virtual reality. In this study, we analyzed two photoplethysmogram(PPG) parameters - a second derivative parameter and power spectral density ratios - in order to relate PPG parameters with simulation sickness. 36 young, healthy subjects were participated in the experiment, and each subject was equipped with a PPG electrode during his or her immersion. Simulation sickness section was defined as a 7 - second section which starts from the point where a subject reported simulation sickness, and normal section as a same-length section where no physical stimuli was presented to him or her. We compared the PPG parameters of the simulation sickness sections with the normal sections, - d/a ratio is believed to have lower value during vasodilation and higher value during vasoconstriction, however, we could not find much difference in the parameter between normal and simulation sickness sections. We also compared 1 to 10Hz power spectral density ratios in normal sections with in simulation sickness section, and found that 6 density ratios among them have different value. Therefore, the density ratios might be utilized as parameters to detect simulation sickness of subjects.

Effects of the emitter degeneration on linearity have been investigated in SiGe HBT double-balanced up-converters with the Gilbert-cell structure. The emitter-coupled degeneration resistors have been optimized for high P1-dB and IP3 through the nonlinear harmonic-balance simulation. Two types of up-converter MMICs fabricated in $0.35{\mu}m$ Si-BiCMOS process were measured to verify the simulation results. The up-converter without the degeneration resistors produces a P1-dB of -13 dBm with an OIP3 of 3.7 dBm, while the up-converter with the degeneration resistors produces a P1-dB of -10 dBm with an OIP3 of 8.7 dBm.

Purpose Microtia is congenital anomaly of external ear and the reconstruction method for the external ear of microtia patient was based on autogenous costal cartilage framework. The application of 3D printing technique in medical science has made more possibility of human tissue restoration, and we tried to apply this technique in auricular reconstruction field. Materials and Methods As for unilateral microtia patient, the contralateral side ear is normal and reconstructive surgeon tried to mimic it for reconstruction of affected ear. So, we obtained facial CT scan of microtia patient and made mirror image of normal side ear. Moreover, to make the 3D scaffold based on the mirror image of normal ear and to apply this scaffold for the auricular reconstruction surgery, we included auriculocephalic sulcus and anterior fixation part. Results We could successfully obtain mirror image of normal ear, auriculocephalic sulcus and anterior fixation part for 3D scaffold printing. Conclusions Using this CT image processing and 3D printing technique, we will be able to make the scaffold for auricular reconstruction of unilateral microtia patient, and perform auricular reconstruction in near future.

The system stability must be ensured from the switching noise due to the power conversion efficiency and power conversion system miniaturization. Therefore, countermeasures to reduce switching noise during power conversion are essential. Thus, in the previous paper, we constructed the DC / DC Buck Converter circuit using MPQ4432 driver of MPS, and simulated the switching noise characteristics which occurs when the components are arranged differently in the 4 - layer PCB circuit structure with reference plane. In this paper, two different simulated circuits are fabricated and the characteristics of the conducted emission and the radiated emission are analyzed in the same way as the simulation. As a result, it was confirmed that the Conducted Emission characteristic was reduced by 2 ~ 9dB in the low frequency band and 6 ~ 7dB in the high frequency band depending on the configuration of the current return path. And the radiated emission characteristic is reduced by 9 dB. Conducted emission simulation results show that 6 ~ 7dB in the low frequency range and 2 ~ 9dB in the measurement result are somewhat different. In the high frequency band, it is confirmed that the experimental and simulation results are about 7dB. And Radiated Emission confirmed 12dB decrease in simulation, but confirmed decrease of 9dB in measurement result. It is confirmed that there is a slight difference in the amount of reduction, but the design of the power conversion circuit improves the noise characteristics according to the configuration of the current return path.

In this paper are presented a newly proposed 3D monte carlo (MC) damage model for the dynamic simulation in order to more accurately and consistently predict the implant-induced point defect distributions of the various ions in crystalline silicon. This model was applied to phosphorus implants for the ULSI CMOS technology developement. In additon, a newly applied 3D-trajectory split method has been implemented into our model to reduce the statistical fluctuations of the implanted impurity and the defect profiles in the relatively large implanted area as compared to 1D or 2D simulations. Also, an empirical electronic energy loss model is proposed for phosphorus and silicon implants. The 3D formations of the amorphous region and the ultra-shallow junction around the implanted region could be predicted by using our model, TRICSI(Transport ions into crystal-silicon).
