Quantitative risk assessments are related to implementing hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP) by its potential involvement in identifying critical control points (CCPs), validating critical limits at a CCP, enabling rational designs of new processes, and products to meet required level of safety, and evaluating processing operations for verification procedures. The quantitative risk assessment is becoming a standard research tool which provides useful predictions and analyses on microbial risks and, thus, a valuable aid in implementing a HACCP system. This paper provides a review of microbial modeling in quantitative risk assessments, which can be applied to HACCP systems.

The potential for recriticality and sub-critical boron concentrations is analyzed during the relocation of the fuel rods in the assembly, which we call late phase of a severe accident, via coupling between MELCOR and whole-core Monte Carlo analyses by Serpent 2. The recriticality, initiated during the early phase, is found to maintain when the fuel assemblies containing intact fuel rods are submerged by the cooling water. It is also found that the effect of the negative reactivity insertion via remaining fission products in the fuel debris increases as the burnup increases. The sub-critical boron concentrations during the late phase are found to be 76~544 ppm lower than those during the early phase. Therefore, it can be concluded that the boron concentration that prevents recriticality not only during the early phase but also during the late phase is the sub-critical boron concentration during the early phase.

이 연구는 집중호우시 산사태의 발생가능성과 발생시간을 사전에 예측하기 위한 노력의 일환으로 기존에 개발된 RTI 경보모델을 우리나라에 적용 분석한 사례이다. RTI(Rainfall Triggering Index)는 강우강도(I) 유효 누적강우량($R_t$)의 곱으로 정의되는 것으로서, 강우기간 동안 특정 시간(t)에서 산사태가 발생할 가능성을 평가하는데 사용된다. RTI의 상부임계값($RTI_{UC}$)과 하부임계값($RTI_{LC}$) 과거 산사태 발생시 강우자료 분석을 통해 각 지역별로 설정할 수 있으며, 강우강도가 상부임계값을 초과할 때 실제 산사태가 발생하는 것으로 이해할 수 있다. 이러한 분석은 궁극적으로 향후 집중호우가 내릴 경우 특정지역의 산사태 발생가능성은 물론 산사태 발생시기를 예상할 수 있으며, 이를 토대로 사전에 산사태 발생경보를 발령하는데 중요한 근거로 활용될 수 있다. 이와 같은 이론을 우리나라에 적용하기 위해 2006년 7월 13일부터 7월 19일까지 강원도 인제군 일대에 내린 강우자료와 산사태 발생과의 관계를 분석한 결과, 실제 산사태가 발생한 7월16일 오전 11시경을 기준으로 23시간, 11시간, 9시간 전에 강우강도가 RTI의 상부임계값을 초과하였다. 이를 토대로 이와 같은 세 차례에 걸친 산사태 경보의 발령이 필요하였음을 알 수 있었다.

This paper presents an estimation method of national wind resource potential using a national and GIS(Geographical Information System). The wind resource potential is classified into theoretical, geographical and technical potentials and each category narrows down the previous definition by excluding impossible area to be developed as a wind farm using GIS datasets for onshore and offshore. As a basic unit of wind energy potential at a certain area, API(Average Power Intercepted) is calculated from WPD(Wind Power Density) given by a national wind map which is established by numerical wind simulation, so that a logical and relatively accurate potential estimation is possible comparing with other methods based on a field measurement interpolation which is inevitable to avoid critical assumptions.

Computers are increasingly being introduced into safety and reliability critical systems. The safe and reliable operation of these systems cannot be taken for granted. Malfunctions of these systems can have potentially catastrophic consequences and they have already been involved in serious accidents. Software fault prevention, fault tolerance, fault removal and fault forecasting are the techniques to be used, implemented and verified for embedded software in critical systems as the contributors to safety and reliability of the software. To use them when developing a software product, a relationship must be established between them and the development processes, the methods and techniques to be used to develop software, as well as with the different product architectures. Railroad signaling system software is a safety-critical embedded software with realtime and high reliability requirements. The primary purpose of the safety management is to prevent the loss of lives or physical damages arising from potential hazards in the railroad signaling system. This study provides a systematic approach to analysis of potential hazards for their management during the system life cycle to assure the identification and definition of the most appropriate hazards.

The resistance to pitting corrosion of Fe-Cr alloys was evaluated by performing potentiodynamic polarization and critical pitting temperature (CPT) tests. For the potentiodynamic polarization tests, various standards were applied, i.e., KS D 0238 (wet, dry), ASTM G 61, and ISO 17475, showing different potentiodynamic polarization results including pitting potentials. ASTM G 61 and ISO 17475 standards presented relatively higher pitting potential while KS D 0238 (dry) indicated lower values than the others. Effects of surface roughness, scan rates, and exposure time to air before tests were also investigated. CPT tests were performed under two different applied potentials, 300 m$V_{SCE}$ and 200 m$V_{SCE}$ in deaerated 1 M NaCl aqueous solution. CPT values and the polarization test results showed a linear relationship.

In this paper, limit cycle flutter induced by Hopf bifurcation is studied with nonlinear system analysis approach and observed for the critical slowing down phenomenon. Considering an attractor of the dynamics of a system, when a small perturbation is applied to the system, the dynamics converge toward the attractor at some rate. The critical slowing down means that this recovery rate approaches zero as a parameter of the system varies and the size of the basin of attraction shrinks to nil. Consequently, in the pre-bifurcation regime, the recovery rates decrease as the system approaches the bifurcation. This phenomenon is one of the features used to forecast bifurcation before they actually occur. Therefore, studying the critical slowing down for limit cycle flutter behavior would have potential applicability for forecasting those types of flutter. Herein, modeling and nonlinear system analysis of the 2D airfoil with torsional nonlinearity have been discussed, followed by observation of the critical slowing down phenomenon.

The aerodynamic stability of orthotropic tensioned membrane structures with rectangular plane is theoretically studied under the uniform ideal potential flow. The aerodynamic force acting on the membrane surface is determined by the potential flow theory in fluid mechanics and the thin airfoil theory in aerodynamics. Then, based on the large amplitude theory and the D'Alembert's principle, the interaction governing equation of wind-structure is established. Under the circumstances of single mode response, the Bubnov-Galerkin approximate method is applied to transform the complicated interaction equation into a system of second order nonlinear differential equation with constant coefficients. Through judging the stability of the system characteristic equation, the critical divergence instability wind velocity is determined. Finally, from different parametric analysis, we can conclude that it has positive significance to consider the characteristics of orthotropic and large amplitude for preventing the instability destruction of structures.

The green microstructure and sintering behavior of ZrO2 were analyzed in terms of kinetic stability (measured by the stability ratio ; W) and interfacial characteristics of colloidal suspension. Green density and the most frequent pore radius(MFPR) of green body were directly correlated with the stability ratio. These observations were explained using a concept of the critical stability ratio(Wc) and the potential energy of two interacting particles in colloidal suspension. Analysis of the data also indicates that the potential energy barrier between two interacting colloid particles should be higher than its critical value for a fabrication of ZrO2 green body with dense and uniform microstructure. Besides, we have successfully applied a concept of the donoracceptor interaction to increase the kinetic stability of ZrO2 slip and density of green body.
