This study was carried out to suggest the best statistical test to analyze the trend in monthly water quality data. Traditional parametric tests such as t-test and regression analysis are based on the assumption that the underlying population has a normal distribution and regression analysis additionally assumes that residual errors are independent. Analyzing 9-years monthly COD data collected at Paldang in Han River, the underlying population was found to be neither normal nor independent. Therefore parametric tests are invalid for trend detection. Four Kinds of nonparametric statistical tests, such as Run Test, Daniel test, Mann-Kendall test, and Time Series Residual Analysis were applied to analyze the trend in the COD data, Daniel test and Mann-Kendall test indicated upward trend in COD data. The best nonparametric test was suggested to be Daniel test, which is simple in computation and easy to understand the intuitive meaning.

Intuitively, a test with more assumptions has greater power than a test with fewer assumptions. This kind of examples are abundant in the nonparametric tests vs corresponding parametric ones. In general, the nonparametric tests are less efficient in terms of asymptotic relative efficiency (ARE) compared to corresponding parametric tests (Daniel, 1990). However, this is not always true. To test equal means under independent normal samples, the usual test involves using the t-distribution with the pooled estimator of the common variance. Adding the assumption of equal sample size, we may derive another test. In this case, two tests using more assumptions were performed for univariate (multivariate) cases. For these examples, it was found that the power function of a test with more assumptions is less than or equal to that of a test with fewer assumptions. This finding can be used as an expository example in master's mathematical statistics courses.

European Material Test Reactors (MTRs) have provided essential support for nuclear power programs over the last 40 years. MTRs are now ageing in Europe and they cannot ensure the securing of experimental capability for the next decades. In this context, a new Material Testing Reactor, named Jules Horowitz Reactor -JHR-, operated as an international user-facility, is under development in Europe. The European MTRs context and the JHR objectives and status will be presented. Emphasis will be put on experiments in the field of nuclear fuels and materials irradiation which are developed in the framework of European and international collaboration.

The entropy and heat capacity are calculated for the Morse oscillator model in order to test the quality of the partition function recently deduced by two of us. It is found that these analytical expressions are more reliable than the usually accepted one and give better results in the calculation of thermodynamic properties.

연직차수벽은 오염지역이나 폐기물 매립장에서 오염된 지하수 (때로는 오염된 수증기) 흐름을 차단하거나 또는 오염지역의 정화처리시 효율을 높이기 위하여 외부로부터 지하수 흐름을 막기 위해 설치된다. 이 논문에서는 연직차수벽의 가장 중요한 설계요소인 차수벽체의 현장 투수성을 평가하는 방법들중 가장 보편적으로 사용되는 단공식 순간 변위시험 (slug test)을 소개한다. 연직차수벽에서 실행된 단공식 순간 변위시험 결과를 해석하기 위해서, 연직차수벽의 압축성과 기하학적인 특성을 고려한 수정된 linear curve fitting 방법을 제안하고 그 적용성을 case study를 통해 평가한다. 기존의 대수층 투수계수 산정에 이용된 curve fitting 방법들에 비하여 수정된 linear curve fitting 방법은 보다 정확한 연직차수벽체의 투수성을 평가하도록 한다.

PURPOSE: This pre-post intervention study aimed to examine the effects of a 12-week supervised modified Taekwondo exercise program on the functional fitness of community-dwelling older adults. METHODS: 10 participants (mean age: 72.3 ± 4.6 years) completed the program over a 12-week period. The intervention consisted of Taekwondo-based exercises modified for older persons. Changes to functional fitness were measured using the finger-to-nose test, functional reach test, timed up and go test, 30-second sit-to-stand test, 30-second arm curl test, Chester step test, chair sit-and-reach test, and back scratch test. Participants were assessed prior to the training and after the final training session, changes were measured using descriptive statistics and paired sample 't' tests. RESULTS: Effect sizes ranged from small to large (Cohen's d = .22 to 1.23). The exercise program was well- tolerated by participants, with a high level of engagement and no attrition for the duration of the program. Results showed significant improvements in most measures of functional fitness (p < .05) except for the back scratch test (p = .051). CONCLUSION: These findings suggest a well-designed, supervised, modified Taekwondo exercise program can significantly improve functional fitness in older adults.

As the U.S. Congress has continued to debate over the health care reform pushed by President Obama, there is an ample reason to believe that the systematic risk of the health care industry, especially health care plan providers, is increasing. This study measures and compares the systematic risk of two health care industry indexes and one portfolio of health care plan providers from before and after the introduction of the health care legislation into Congress in September, 2009. The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is used to measure the systematic risk, and a dummy variable approach and the Chow test are used to formally compare the systematic risk from before and after the introduction of the legislation.

Different methods of axial and tangential testing and various sample geometries were investigated, and new test geometries were designed to determine the ultimate tensile strength of zirconium cladding tubes. The finite element method was used to model the tensile tests, and the results of the simulations were evaluated. Axial and tangential tensile tests were performed on as-received and machined fuel cladding tube samples of both E110 and E110G Russian zirconium alloys at room temperature to compare their ultimate tensile strengths and the different sample preparation methods.

In constructing a slurry trench cutoff wall, a thin but relatively impermeable layer called filter cake can be formed on the excavation surface. The filter cake significantly influences the result of slug test analysis in the cutoff wall. This study is to examine the effect of filter cake on evaluating in situ hydraulic conductivity of the vertical cutoff wall along with slug test analyses. The numerical program Slug_3D was modified to take filter cake into account in the slug test simulation. With consideration of filter cake, the type curve method and the modified line-fitting method were used to reanalyze the case study taken from a landfill site. The previous results achieved by Choi and Daniel (2006b) without consideration of filter cake have been compared with the results in this study. The considerable difference between the two results shows the necessity of considering the filter cake in practice.

슬러리월 연직차수벽 시공시, 지반을 트렌치 형태로 굴착하고, 굴착시공 중 굴착면 붕괴에 대한 안정성을 유지하기 위하여 벤토나이트와 물을 혼합한 슬러리를 트렌치에 채운다. 이렇게 채워진 벤토나이트 슬러리로 인하여 필터케이크(filter cake)이라 불리는 얇고 투수성이 낮은 층이 트렌치벽 표면에 형성되며, 슬러리가 제거 된 이후에도 굴착면에 잔존하여 연직차수벽에서의 순간변위시험(slug test) 해석 결과에 중요한 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 기존에 개발된 수치해석 프로그램 Slug-3D를 수정하여 순간변위시험 해석시 필터케이크의 영향을 고려하는 방법을 제시하고 이를 통하여 정확한 연직차수벽의 투수계수를 산출하도록 하였다. 필터케이크의 영향을 고려하기 위하여 Slug-3D에서는 차수벽과 토양층의 경계면에 불투수조건(no-flux)을 경계조건으로 설정하여 해석을 수행하였다 또한 투수계수 산정에서 기존의 타입커브법(type curve method)을 이용하기 위하여 개선된 type curve를 도출하였고, 선형 커브피팅법(line-fitting method)를 필터케이크가 존재하는 연직차수벽에 적용할 수 있도록 수정 보완하였다. 본 논문에서 제안된 필터케이크를 고려한 해석방법은 EMCON(1995)에 의해 수행된 현장시험 결과의 재해석을 통하여 타당성을 검토하였다. 또한, 본 연구에서 얻어진 결과를 Choi and Daniel(2006)에 의해 수행된 필터케이크가 존재하지 않는 경우의 순간변위시험 해석결과와 비교를 통해 필터케이크 고려가 반드시 필요함을 보여준다.
