With the help of the nuclear computational system for a large LMFBR (KAERI-26 group cross section library/1DX/2DB), the reactivity coefficients for the diagrid expansion and the pad expansion at the beginning of cycle of the equilibrium core of SUPER-PHENIX I are calculated and reviewed. the core is described using R-Z geometry model, and a two-dimensional multigroup diffusion theory is used. For reference cases, reactivity calculations for radial and axial uniform expansion are performed, and also calculated are reactivity variations due to changes in material density and core volume. The reactivity coefficient for the diagrid expansion is calculated to be -0.553pcm/mil. The temperature coefficient corresponding to the above value is -1.0766pcm/$^{\circ}C$ and is well in accord with the French datum of -1.09pcm/$^{\circ}C$ within 1.2% difference. With the use of 4he calculational method for the diagrid expansion effect, reactivity calculations for the pad expansion bringing about nonuniform expansion are performed, which show that the calculational method is very useful in the analysis of the pad expansion effect. The reactivity coefficients for the pad expansion are calculated to be -0.2743 pcm/mil and -0.2786pcm1mi1 for the averaged expansion model and for the integrated pancake model, respectively. Under the assumption of the free expanding core the temperature reactivity coefficients for each model are obtained to be -0.5766pcm/$^{\circ}C$ and -0.5858pcm/$^{\circ}C$, both of which agree with the French datum of -0.574pcm/$^{\circ}C$ within 2% difference.

Submerged thin walls are extreme case of submerged rectangular blocks, and could be used for many purposes in rivers or coastal zones, e.g. to tsunami. To understand flow characteristics including flow and pressure fields around a specific submerged thin wall a numerical model was applied which includes computation of hydrodynamic pressure on ${\sigma}$-coordinate. ${\sigma}$-coordinate has strong merits for simulation of subcritical flow over mild-sloped beds. On the other hand ${\sigma}$-coordinate is quite poor to treat sharp structures on the bed. There have been a few trials to incorporate dynamic pressure in ${\sigma}$-coordinate by some researchers. One of the previous approaches includes process of sloving the Poisson equation. However, the above method includes many high-order terms, and requires long cpu for simulation. Another method SOLA was developed by Hirt et al. for computation of dynamic pressure, but it was valid for straight grid system only. Previous SOLA was modified for ${\sigma}$-coordinate for the present purpose and was adopted in a model system, CST3D. Computed flow field shows reasonable behaviour including vorticity is much stronger than the upstream and downstream of the structure. The model was verified to laboratory experiments at a 2DV flume. Time-average flow vectors were measured by using one-dimensional electro-magnetic velocimeter. Computed flow field agrees well with the measured flow field within 10 % error from the speed point of view at 5 profiles. It is thought that the modified SOLA scheme is useful for ${\sigma}$-coordinate system.

Load tests for ten small-scale foundation models combined with geotextile and sand mat were conducted to study the effect of geotextile, sand mat, and foundation types on deformation of foundation soils. In addition, the experimental results were compared with those obtained from numerical analysis using a software program. The main conclusions were summarized as follows : 1. The restraint effect on GIT is more outstanding on the lateral displacement than on the vertical one. 2. The only use of SIM has better effect for the restraint of lateral displacement than vertical ogle. 3. The use of both SIM and GIT are required for the restraint of lateral and vertical displacement.

In this paper, we propose new methods used in MPEG codec that can improve the picture quality degradations of the reconstructed images, such as blocking artifacts, without additional computations. At first, a new 2-step MAD motion search is presented in the motion search and compensation course to reduce the computations and the errors of block boundary pixels. And we also present an overlapped 2-step MAD motion search that use the pixels beyond the block boundary using the reduced computations. In DCT/quantization course for intra-blocks, 1-D DCT predictive quantization and pixel difference predictive quantization, those use the adjacent pixel sets of the Previously reconstructed blocks and improve the inter-block continuity, are presented. As simulation results, proposed methods shows better picture qualities by reducing blocking artifacts than that of the conventional MPEG.

Tunnel construction is a complex three dimensional operation. Since, however, it is neither possible nor useful to simulate all conditions and parameters in detail, a simplified two dimensional model is commonly employed in practice. The simulation of three dimensional conditions by a two dimensional model should use empirical parameters. The numerical predictions indicate that analysis results are highly dependent on the parameters. An improved modelling method based on time was adopted to account for three dimensional effect at the tunnel heading and time dependent nature, and used to perform an analysis of tunnelling in decomposed granite. The effects of weathering degree, tunnel shape and multi-drift excavation were investigated by using the method. It is identified that a structural benefit can be obtained by adopting a horse-shoe-shaped cross section with multi-drift excavation in mixed-force ground condition.

Purpose: Cross-modality coregistration of positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MR) could enhance the clinical information. In this study we propose a refined technique to improve the robustness of registration, and to implement more realistic visualization of the coregistered images. Materials and Methods: Using the sinogram of PET emission scan, we extracted the robust head boundary and used boundary-enhanced PET to coregister PET with MR. The pixels having 10% of maximum pixel value were considered as the boundary of sinogram. Boundary pixel values were exchanged with maximum value of sinogram. One hundred eighty boundary points were extracted at intervals of about 2 degree using simple threshold method from each slice of MR images. Best affined transformation between the two point sets was performed using least square fitting which should minimize the sum of Euclidean distance between the point sets. We reduced calculation time using pre-defined distance map. Finally we developed an automatic coregistration program using this boundary detection and surface matching technique. We designed a new weighted normalization technique to display the coregistered PET and MR images simultaneously. Results: Using our newly developed method, robust extraction of head boundary was possible and spatial registration was successfully performed. Mean displacement error was less than 2.0 mm. In visualization of coregistered images using weighted normalization method, structures shown in MR image could be realistically represented. Conclusion: Our refined technique could practically enhance the performance of automated three dimensional coregistration.

인공위성을 이용한 위치결정시스템인 GPS(Global Positioning System)는 mm 단위의 정밀도로 정적, 동적 위치관측이 가능한 시스템으로 현재 여러 분야에서 활용이 증가하고 있다. 특히 교량, 댐 등 안전이 요구되는 사회기반 시설물의 동적 거동을 기록하고 감시하는데 있어서 GPS가 새로운 관측시스템으로 주목받고 있으며 이를 실용화하기 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 GPS를 이용하여 건물의 거동상태를 점검 하는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. 초고층건물의 거동을 해석하기 위하여 건물 옥상에 GPS, 가속도계, 풍향계, 풍속계를 설치하였다. GPS와 가속도계를 이용하여 건물의 변위 및 가속도를 5Hz로 관측하였다. GPS를 이용한 변위관측은 1시간, 1분, 1초 등의 간격으로 3차원 변위를 계산하였으며, 계산된 3차원 변위를 가속도계, 풍속계, 풍향계와 연계하여 해석하였다. 대상 건물에 대한 최대 변위를 관측한 결과 시공 단계에 따라 큰 차이를 보였으며 건물의 안정성을 평가할 수 있는 척도인 건물의 고유 진동수의 경우 약 0.2Hz의 값을 얻을 수 있었다. 향후 모든 센서들을 통합하여 실시간으로 건물을 모니터링할 수 있는 시스템을 개발할 경우 건물의 안정성 해석 및 유지보수에 본 연구가 큰 기여를 할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

In estuarine 3-dimensional numerical modeling. it is very important to calculate vertical eddy viscosity accurately. Various turbulence models employing eddy viscosity concept were applied to the steady flow in an open-channel and the tidal flow in long tidal channel and compared. The evaluations include the verification tests against experimental data sets for steady and tidal flows. The simulation results have shown that the compared models are in good agreements with experimental data of steady flow while only $textsc{k}$-$\varepsilon$ model, $textsc{k}$-ι model, and 1-equation model with well-defined mixing length profile give good agreements with experimental data of tidal flow.
