This study was performed to estimate forest canopy density (FCD) using airborne hyperspectral data acquired in the Independence Hall of Korea in central Korea. The airborne hyperspectral data were obtained with 36 narrow spectrum ranges of visible (Red, Green, and Blue) and near infrared spectrum (NIR) scope. The FCD mapping model developed by the International Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO) uses vegetation index (VI), bare soil index (BI), shadow index (SI), and temperature index (TI) for estimating FCD. Vegetation density (VD) was calculated through the integration of VI and BI, and scaled shadow index (SSI) was extracted from SI after the detection of black soil by TI. Finally, the FCD was estimated with VD and SSI. For the estimation of FCD in this study, VI and SI were extracted from hyperspectral data. But BI and TI were not available from hyperspectral data. Hyperspectral data makes the numerous combination of each band for calculating VI and SI. Therefore, the principal component analysis (PCA) was performed to find which band combinations are explanatory. This study showed that forest canopy density can be efficiently estimated with the help of airborne hyperspectral data. Our result showed that most forest area had 60 ~ 80% canopy density. On the other hand, there was little area of 10 ~ 20% canopy density forest.

We performed Raman spectroscopy on two different over-doped Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O_8+x (BSCCO), of which superconducting transition temperatures are 89 K and 77 K. Line-shape analysis of the Raman-spectrum was done, focused on B_1g bond buckling mode which have drawn a lot of attention, since photoemission studies showed an evidence for strong coupling between the mode and electron. The line-shapes show asymmetry and are well fitted by the Fano line-shape formula. Remarkably, we found that the peak line-widths from B_1g bond buckling mode in BSCCO show much broader than those in YBa₂Cu₃O_7-x. The broad line width can be attributed to the superstructure modulation of BSCCO. Our results imply that B_1g bond buckling mode may have close relation to the origin of superconductivity or to boosting the superconducting transition temperature in BSCCO.

In order to transmute long-lived radioactive nuclides such as transuranics(TRU), Tc-99, and I- l29 in LWR spent fuel, a preliminary conceptual design study has been performed for the accelerator driven subcritical reactor system, called HYPER(Hybrid Power Extraction Reactor) The core has a hybrid neutron energy spectrum: fast and thermal neutrons for the transmutation of TRU and fission products, respectively. TRU is loaded into the HYPER core as a TRU-Zr metal form because a metal type fuel has very good compatibility with the pyre- chemical process which retains the self-protection of transuranics at all times. On the other hand, Tc-99 and I-129 are loaded as pure technetium metal and sodium iodide, respectively. Pb-Bi is chosen as a primary coolant because Pb-Bi can be a good spallation target and produce a very hard neutron energy spectrum. As a result, the HYPER system does not have any independent spallation target system. 9Cr-2WVTa is used as a window material because an advanced ferritic/martensitic steel is known to have a good performance under a highly corrosive and radiation environment. The support ratios of the HYPER system are about 4∼5 for TRU, Tc-99, and I-129. Therefore, a radiologically clean nuclear power, i.e. zero net production of TRU, Tc-99 and I-129 can be achieved by combining 4 ∼5 LWRs with one HYPER system. In addition, the HYPER system, having good proliferation resistance and high nuclear waste transmutation capability, is believed to provide a breakthrough to the spent fuel problems the nuclear industry is faced with.

Understanding the behavior of skew bridges under the action of earthquakes is quite challenging due to the combined transverse and longitudinal responses even under unidirectional hit. The main goal of this research is to assess the response of skew bridges when subjected to longitudinal and transversal earthquake loading. The effect of skew on the response considering two- and three- span bridges with skew angles varying from 0 to 60 degrees is illustrated. Various pier fixities (and hence stiffness) and cross-section shapes, as well as different abutment's bearing articulations, are also studied. Finite-element models are established for modal and seismic analyses. Around 900 models are analyzed under the action of the code design response spectrum. $Vis-{\grave{a}}-vis$ modal properties, the higher the skew angle, the less the fundamental period. In addition, it is found that bridges with skew angles less than 30 degrees can be treated as straight bridges for the purpose of calculating modal mass participation factors. Other monitored results are bearings' reactions at abutments, shear and torsion demand in piers, as well as deck longitudinal displacement. Unlike straight bridges, it has been typically noted that skew bridges experience non-negligible torsion and bi-directional pier base shears. In a complementary effort to assess the accuracy of the conducted response spectrum analysis, a series of time-history analyses are applied under seven actual earthquake records scaled to match the code design response spectrum and critical comparisons are performed.

본 연구에서는 자외선 영역에서 우수한 발광강도를 가지는 적색 형광체를 얻기 위하여 microwave 급속 열처리법으로 합성하여 $Eu^{3+}$와 $Bi^{3+}$가 도핑된 $YVO_4$의 발광특성을 관찰하였다. Microwave 급속 열처리시 입자의 크기는 매우 미세하며, 응집이 매우 심하였으나 열처리 유지시간이 증가할수록 입자 크기는 증가하고 응집현상은 개선되는 경향을 나타내었다. $YVO_4$: $Eu^{3+}$, $Bi^{3+}$ 적색 형광체의 발광 peak는 $Eu^{3+}$ ion의 영향에 의해 594.9 nm와 602.3 nm에서 $^5D_0{\longrightarrow}^7F_1$ 전자 천이에 의한 약한 발광 peak와 616.7 nm와 620.0 nm에서 $^5D_0{\longrightarrow}^7F_2$ 전자 천이에 의한 강한 발광 peak이 관찰 되었다. Microwave 급속 열처리법을 형광체 합성시 장시간 열처리 시간이 필요하지 않으면서 균일한 activator의 확산으로 인하여 발광특성을 향상시키는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 근 자외선 및 가시광 영역에서 우수한 발광 강도를 가지는 적색 형광체를 얻기 위하여 고상 반응법으로 합성하여 $EU^{3+}$와 $Bi^{3+}$가 도핑 된 ${Y_2}{SiO_5}$의 발광 특성을 관찰하였다. 근자외선 영역인 ${\lambda}_{ex}=395nm$ 기준으로 측정하였고, $^5D_0-^7F_2$의 에너지 천이에 의해 612 nm 영역에서 강한 peak가 발생하였다. CST가 $Eu^{3+}-O^{2-}$에 의해 258 nm 영역 대에서 생성되었고, $Bi^{3+}$가 함께 도핑 된 것은 $Eu^{3+}-Bi^{3+}-O^{2-}$에 상호작용에 의해 282 nm 영역대의 장파장 쪽으로 이동하였다. $350\;nm{\sim}480\;nm$ 영역 대에 '$^7F_0{\to}^5L_9$ (364 nm), $^7F_0{\to}^5G_3$(381 nm), $^7F_0{\to}^5L_6$(395nm), $^7F_0{\to}^5D_3$(415 mn) and $^7F_0{\to}^5D_2$(466 nm)는 $Bi^{3+}$와 $EU^{3+}$ f-f 천이에 의해 발생하였다. $Bi^{3+}$의 도핑농도가 증가할수록 발광 강도가 증가함을 보이다가 0.125 mol 일 때 발광강도가 가장 우수하였고, $Bi^{3+}$의 도핑 농도가 0.125 mol 이상 되면 발광강도가 현저히 감소하는 것을 확인하였다.

Base-isolated nuclear power plant (BI-NPP) structures are founded on expanded basemat as a flexible floating nuclear island, are still lacking the recommendation of the consideration of incoherent motion effect. The effect of incoherent earthquake motion on the seismic response of BI-NPP structure has been investigated herein. The incoherency of the ground motions is applied by using an isotropic frequency-dependent spatial correlation function to perform the conditional simulation of the reference design spectrum compatible ground motion in time domain. Time history analysis of two structural models with 486 and 5 equivalent lead plug rubber bearing (LRB) base-isolators have been done under uniform excitation and multiple point excitation. two different cases have been considered: 1) Incoherent motion generated for soft soil and 2) Incoherent motion generated for hard rock soil. The results show that the incoherent motions reduce acceleration and the lateral displacement responses and the reduction is noticeable at soft soil site and higher frequencies.

The structural characteristics of 4-coordinate $BO_4$ [B(1)] and 3-coordinate $BO_3$ [B(2)] groups in $BiB_3O_6$ were studied by $^{11}B$ magic angle spinning (MAS) and single-crystal nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The spin-lattice relaxation time in the laboratory frame, $T_1$, for $^{11}B$ decreased slowly with increasing temperature, whereas the spin-lattice relaxation times in the rotating frame, $T_{1{\rho}}$, for B(1) and B(2), which differed from $T_1$, were nearly constant. Further, $T_{1{\rho}}$ for B(1) and B(2) showed very similar trends, although the $T_{1{\rho}}$ value of B(2) was shorter than that of B(1). The 3-coordinate $BO_3$ and 4-coordinate $BO_4$ were distinguished by $^{11}B$ MAS NMR spectrum and $T_{1{\rho}}$.
