Accident-tolerant fuels (ATFs) are currently of high interest to researchers in the nuclear industry and in governmental and international organizations. One widely studied accident-tolerant fuel concept is multilayer cladding (also known as coated cladding). This concept is based on a traditional Zr-based alloy (Zircaloy-4, M5, E110, ZIRLO etc.) serving as a substrate. Different protective materials are applied to the substrate surface by various techniques, thus enhancing the accident tolerance of the fuel. This study focuses on the results of testing of Zircaloy-4 coated with pure chromium metal using the cold spray (CS) technique. In comparison with other deposition methods, e.g., Physical vapor deposition (PVD), laser coating, or Chemical vapor deposition techniques (CVD), the CS technique is more cost efficient due to lower energy consumption and high deposition rates, making it more suitable for industry-scale production. The Cr-coated samples were tested at different conditions ($500^{\circ}C$ steam, $1200^{\circ}C$ steam, and Pressurized water reactor (PWR) pressurization test) and were precharacterized and postcharacterized by various techniques, such as scanning electron microscopy, Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), or nanoindentation; results are discussed. Results of the steady-state fuel performance simulations using the Bison code predicted the concept's feasibility. It is concluded that CS Cr coating has high potential benefits but requires further optimization and out-of-pile and in-pile testing.

2-Oxoglutarate (2OG) acts as a signaling molecule and plays a critical role in secondary metabolism in a variety of organisms, including plants. Six 2-oxoglutarate (2OG) and Fe(II) oxygenase (2OGO) genes, VlCE2OGO1 [Vitis labruscana 2-oxoglutarate (2OG) and Fe(II) oxygenase 1], VlCE2OGO2, VlCE2OGO3, VlCE2OGO4, VlCE2OGO5, and VlCE2OGO6, which show different expression patterns upon transcriptome analysis of 'Campbell Early' grapevine exposed to low temperature for 4 weeks, were analyzed for their structure and expression. Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequences of the 2OGO genes from the V. labruscana transcripts revealed sequence similarities of 38.6% (VlCE2OGO1 and VlCE2OGO2) to 19.2% (VlCE2OGO2 and VlCE2OGO3). The lengths of these genes ranged from 1053 to 2298 bp, and they encoded 316 to 380 amino acids. The prediction of the secondary structure of the encoded proteins by Self-Optimized Prediction Method with Alignment (SOPMA) indicated that all the genes contained alpha helix (23.95 to 41.71%), extended strand (16 to 22.34%), beta turn (6.65 to 9.22%), and random coil (32.97 to 51.58%) in the analysis. Specific primers from unique regions in each gene obtained by alignment of nucleotide sequences were used in real time PCR for analysis of gene expression. All tested genes showed differential expression in grapevines exposed to low temperature. Of the six transcripts, VlCE2OGO1, VlCE2OGO2, and VlCE2OGO3 were up-regulated and VlCE2OGO4, VlCE2OGO5, and VlCE2OGO6 were down-regulated in response to cold treatments at all tested time points. The 2OG genes can be used for elucidation of mechanisms of tolerance to cold and as valuable molecular genetic resources for selection in breeding programs for cold-hardy grapevines.

고구마의 저온 내성 반응의 분자적 기작에 대한 정보를 얻기 위해 저온 저장 내성이 높은 고구마 품종 Xushu 15-1과 저온 저장 내성이 낮은 Xushu 15-4에서 발현되는 단백질체를 2-D와 MALDI-TOF/TOF를 이용하여 분석하였다. 저온 처리가 되지 않은 대조구 간의 분석 결과, Xushu 15-1에서는 4개의 단백질 spot이 새롭게 발현되었으며, Xushu 15-4에서는 1개 단백질 spot의 발현량이 Xushu 15-1에 비하여 더 높았다. 이들 중 Xushu 15-1에서 새롭게 발현된 spot 2는 sporamin으로 동정되었다. 4℃ 처리된 2개 품종의 저장뿌리에서 8주 동안의 단백질 발현량의 변화를 조사한 결과, Xushu 15-1에서는 별다른 차이가 없었다. 그러나, Xushu 15-4에서는 1개 단백질 spot의 발현량이 증가하였고 4개 spot들의 발현량은 감소하였다. 발현량이 감소된 단백질 중 spot 7 및 8번은 actin, spot 9 및 10번은 fructokinase-like protein으로 동정되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 저장 중 고구마의 저온 내성과 관련된 복잡한 반응성 기작에 대한 이해를 높이고, 향후 저온 저장 능력이 향상된 신품종 고구마의 개발을 위한 후보 유전자를 특정하는 데 이용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

In the Prestressed die design for cold working, many constraining conditions should be considered to insure the die safety and to improve the dimension accountancy products. Among the constraining conditions, yielding conditions, diameter ratios and interferences between rings are very important. . In this paper, therefore, flexible tolerance method was used in order to search the optimum values of design variables. The maximum inner pressure is used as objective function in this numerical analysis. In the design Process, it was also involved the safety factor to the yield strength of each ring by considering the allowable tensile or compressive hoop stress in each ring. The proposed technique has been applied to the die design of backward extrusion process, and it's analytical results have been compared with that of the conventional design method.

Korean and Japanese, both people have a lot of similarity and complexity in terms of physical constitution and culture. This study might be the first implementation that tries to figure out constitutional differences of both people in scientific way. In this study, subjects were from each country, had been exposed $5^{\circ}C$ environment wearing each country's traditional costume- so called Hanbok and Kimono- and all through this experiment we'd compared physiological responses and analyzed differences of cold response go with their own clothing culture. We've obtained following results: Korean had kept maintaining low mean skin temperature basically in cold circumstance, compared with Japanese, have stronger cold tolerance. However, there's no significant difference between Korean and Japanese. Owing to huge influence of wearing other country's traditional costume itself even makes differences of rectal temperature in a cold environment. In addition, in a period of time that wearing other country's traditional costume, thermal sensation would be different according to exposed surrounding temperature.

When plants are exposed to subfreezing temperatures ice crystals are forming within extracelluar space in leaves. The growth of ice crystal is closely related to the degree of freezing injury. It was shown that an antifreeze protein binds to an ice nucleator through hydrogen bonds to prevent growth of ice crystal and also reduces freezing damage. The antifreeze proteins in plants are similar to PR proteins but only the PR proteins induced upon cold acclimation were shown to have dual functions in antifreezing as well as antifungal activities. Three of the genes encoded for CLP, GLP, and TLP were isolated from barley and Kentucky bluegrass based on amino acid sequence revealed after purification and low temperature-inducibility as shown in analysis of the protein. The deduced amino acid of the genes cloned showed a signal for secretion into extracellular space where the antifreezing activity sup-posed to work. The western analysis using the antisera raised against the antifreeze proteins showed a positive correlation between the amount of the protein and the level of freeze tolerance among different cultivars of barely. Besides it was revealed that TLP is responsible for a freeze tolerance induced by a treatment of trinexapac ethyl in Kentucky bluegrass. Analysis of an overwintering wild rice, Oryza rufipogon also showed that an acquisition of freeze tolerance relied on accumulation of the protein similar to CLP. The more direct evidence for the role of CLP in freeze tolerance was made with the analysis of the transgenic tobacco showing extracellular accumulation of CLP and enhanced freeze tolerance measured by amount of ion leakage and rate of photosynthetic electron transport upon freezing. These antifreeze proteins genes will be good candidates for transformation into crops such as lettuce and strawberry to develop into the new crops capable of freeze-storage and such as rose and grape to enhance a freeze tolerance for a safe survival during winter.

본 연구에서는 노지재배 포도의 내한성을 증대시킬 수 있는 방법을 모색하고자 간이비가림시설 설치에 따른 식물체의 반응을 조사하였다. 간이비가림시설에서 월동한 식물체의 탄수화물 함량은 노지 처리구에 비해 높았으며, 'Muscat Bailey A'의 줄기보다 '거봉'과 '캠벨얼리' 품종에서 탄수화물의 함량이 높게 나타났다. 노지에 비해 간이비가림시설에서 발아율과 신초의 생장도 양호하였으나 방충망, 차광막을 처리한 구에서는 유의차가 나타나지 않았다. 포도 잿빛곰팡이병의 발생은 간이비가림시설에서 발생이 적었다. Stilbene 화합물 함량은 노지보다 간이비가림 처리구에서 함량이 약간 더 높게 나타났으며 가장 많이 함유된 stilbene은 배당체 형태인 t-piceid였으며, resveratrol, piceatannol, c-piceid에 비해 상당히 고함량을 나타내었다. Chalcone isomerase, manganese superoxide dismutase, proline rich protein 2, temperature induced lipocalin의 transcripts는 시간이 지날수록 유전자의 발현량이 더 많이 축적되었고, 대체적으로 간이비가림시설의 삽수에서 저온 스트레스에 더 강하게 발현되었다. 처리구별 온도차이는 없었으나 노지에 비해 간이비가림시설에서 풍속이 크게 감소하였으며, 간이비가림시설 내에서 차광막을 설치한 경우 풍속의 감소효과가 현저하게 나타났다. 겨울철의 간이비가림시설과 방충망을 설치함으로써 극저온에 의한 포도나무의 저온피해를 줄일 수 있을 것이다.
