In order to improve calculational efficiency of the CAPP code in the analysis of the hexagonal reactor core, we have tried to implement a refined AFEN method with transverse gradient basis functions and interface flux moments in the hexagonal geometry. The numerical scheme for the refined AFEN method adopted here is the response matrix method that uses the interface partial currents as nodal unknowns instead of the interface fluxes used in the original AFEN method. Since the response matrix method is single-node based, it has good properties such as good calculational efficiency and parallel computing affinity. Because a refined AFEN method equivalent nonlinear FDM response matrix method tried first could not provide a numerically stable solution, a direct formulation of the refined AFEN response matrix were developed. To show the numerical performance of this response matrix method against the original AFEN method, the numerical error analyses were performed for several benchmark problems including the VVER-440 LWR benchmark problem and the MHTGR-350 HTGR benchmark problem. The results showed a more than three times speedup in computing time for the LWR and HTGR benchmark problems due to good convergence and excellent calculational efficiency of the refined AFEN response matrix method.

The Activity patterns of animal species are difficult to access and the behavior of freely moving individuals can not be assessed by direct observation. As it has become large challenge to understand the activity pattern of animals such as dogs, and cats etc. One approach for monitoring these behaviors is the continuous collection of data by human observers. Therefore, in this study we assess the activity patterns of dog using the wearable sensors data such as accelerometer and gyroscope. A wearable, sensor -based system is suitable for such ends, and it will be able to monitor the dogs in real-time. The basic purpose of this study was to develop a system that can detect the activities based on the accelerometer and gyroscope signals. Therefore, we purpose a method which is based on the data collected from 10 dogs, including different nine breeds of different sizes and ages, and both genders. We applied six different state-of-the-art classifiers such as Random forests (RF), Support vector machine (SVM), Gradient boosting machine (GBM), XGBoost, k-nearest neighbors (KNN), and Decision tree classifier, respectively. The Random Forest showed a good classification result. We achieved an accuracy 86.73% while the detecting the activity.

본 연구에서는 대표적인 전지구 온도지표인 LOC/MTG 온도인자를 이용하여 기후변동성(Climate Variability)을 파악하고 관측수문량의 상대적 변화분석을 위한 특성자료로 활용하였다. 여기서, LOC (Land-Ocean Contrast)는 중위도 지역에서 대륙과 해양의 온도의 차이를 나타내는 지수이며, 고위도 및 아열대 지역의 남북간 기온의 차이는 MTG (Meridional Temperature Gradient)로 정의된다. LOC/MTG 두 패턴의 남북 또는 동서 지점의 변화는 동아시아 지역에서의 대기순환패턴의 변화와 그와 관련된 대기수분이송에 직간접적인 영향인자로서 작용될 수 있다. 또한, 여름철 동아시아의 수문기상의 변화는 식수, 관개용수, 수력발전 및 수산산업과 연관성이 매우 크며, 인간과 자연의 상호관계를 유지하기 위한 지속가능한 수자원의 공급에 중요한 결정요소이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 한강유역을 대상으로 6월에서 9월 사이에 발생한 여름철 강우 중에서 태풍에 의해 유발된 강우를 제외하고 몬순기후에 의한 한반도 유역의 지역적 강우 특성을 분석하였다. 한강 몬순강우와의 통계적 상관성 분석을 실시한 결과, 여름철 몬순강우의 변화에 민감하게 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

Krylov 부공간 모델차수축소법은 초기 유한요소모델과 축소모델의 전달함수의 계수인 모멘트를 일치시키는 방법을 이용하는 축소기법으로 이미 대형 유한요소모델의 주파수응답함수의 효율적인 계산에 많이 사용되고 있는 방법 중의 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 Krylov 부공간 축소기법을 이용한 관심 주파수영역에 대한 주파수응답 해석과 이를 통하여 계산된 주파수응답의 여러 가지 설계변수에 대한 설계민감도 해석 방법을 제안하였다. 일반적으로 기계시스템의 주파수응답을 고려한 최적설계를 위해서는 설계변수에 대한 관심 주파수영역에서의 주파수응답 및 그의 민감도 정보가 요구되므로, 고려하는 유한요소모델이 대형일 경우에는 관심 주파수영역에서의 반복적인 해석으로 인한 계산비용의 문제가 심각하게 대두된다. 본 논문에서는 축소모델을 이용하여 주파수응답과 주파수응답의 설계민감도 해석을 수행하여 계산의 효율성을 극대화하였다. 계산상 시스템행렬의 민감도 계산에는 시간측면과 구현의 용이성 측면에서 장점이 있는 준해석적 방법을 이용하였다. 수치 예제를 통하여 축소기법을 이용한 주파수응답의 설계민감도 해석 결과를 초기 유한요소모델의 민감도 결과와 비교하여 우수한 정확성 및 효율성을 확인하였다. 본 논문에서 제안된 방법을 주파수응답을 고려하는 최적설계에 이용하는 경우, 결과의 정확성 및 계산비용 측면에서 매우 효과적인 방법이 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

An analysis of convective boiling heat transfer for refrigerant mixtures is performed for an annular flow to investigate the degradation of the heat transfer rate. Annular flow is selected in this study because a great portion of the evaporator in the refrigeration and air conditioning system is known to be in the annular flow regime. Mass transfer effect due to composition difference between liquid and vapor is included in this analysis, which is considered to be one of driving forces for the mass transfer at the interface. Due to the concentration gradient at the interface the mass transfer is interfered, so is the evaporative heat transfer at the interface. The mass transfer resistance makes the interface temperature slightly higher and, as a result, the heat transfer coefficients decrease compared with those without mass transfer effects. The degradatioin of the heat transfer rate reaches its maximum at a certain composition. The composition difference between vapor core and vapor at the interface has a direct effect on the temperature difference between the vapor core and the interface and the degradation of the heat transfer rate. Correction factor $C_{F}$ for the mixture effects is added to the correlation for pure substances and the flow boiling heat transfer coefficients can be calculated using the modified equation.n.

A semi-submersible structure has been widely used for offshore drilling and production of oil and gas. The small water plane area makes the structure very sensitive to weight increase in terms of payload and stability. Therefore, it is necessary to lighten the substructure from the early design stage. This study aims at an optimization of hull structure based on a sophisticated yield and buckling strength in accordance with classification rules. An in-house strength assessment system is developed to automate the procedure such as a generation of buckling panels, a collection of required panel information, automatic buckling and yield check and so on. The developed system enables an automatic yield and buckling strength check of all panels composing the hull structure at each iteration of the optimization. Design variables are plate thickness and stiffener section profiles. In order to overcome the difficulty of large number of design variables and the computational burden of FE analysis, various methods are proposed. The steepest descent method is selected as the optimization algorithm for an efficient search. For a reduction of the number of design variables and a direct application to practical design, the stiffener section variable is determined by selecting one from a pre-defined standard library. Plate thickness is also discretized at 0.5t interval. The number of FE analysis is reduced by using equations to analytically estimating the stress changes in gradient calculation and line search steps. As an endeavor to robust optimization, the number of design variables to be simultaneously optimized is divided by grouping the scantling variables by the plane. A sequential optimization is performed group by group. As a verification example, a central column of a semi-submersible structure is optimized and compared with a conventional optimization of all design variables at once.

In this talk, I will present two research works in progress, which are: i) mapping of piezoelectric polarization and associated charge density distribution in the heteroepitaxial InGaN/GaN multi-quantum well (MQW) structure of a light emitting diode (LED) by using inline electron holography and ii) in-situ observation of the polarization switching process of an ferroelectric Pb(Zr1-x,Tix)O3 (PZT) thin film capacitor under an applied electric field in transmission electron microscope (TEM). In the first part, I will show that strain as well as total charge density distributions can be mapped quantitatively across all the functional layers constituting a LED, including n-type GaN, InGaN/GaN MQWs, and p-type GaN with sub-nm spatial resolution (~0.8 nm) by using inline electron holography. The experimentally obtained strain maps were verified by comparison with finite element method simulations and confirmed that not only InGaN QWs (2.5 nm in thickness) but also GaN QBs (10 nm in thickness) in the MQW structure are strained complementary to accommodate the lattice misfit strain. Because of this complementary strain of GaN QBs, the strain gradient and also (piezoelectric) polarization gradient across the MQW changes more steeply than expected, resulting in more polarization charge density at the MQW interfaces than the typically expected value from the spontaneous polarization mismatch alone. By quantitative and comparative analysis of the total charge density map with the polarization charge map, we can clarify what extent of the polarization charges are compensated by the electrons supplied from the n-doped GaN QBs. Comparison with the simulated energy band diagrams with various screening parameters show that only 60% of the net polarization charges are compensated by the electrons from the GaN QBs, which results in the internal field of ~2.0 MV cm-1 across each pair of GaN/InGaN of the MQW structure. In the second part of my talk, I will present in-situ observations of the polarization switching process of a planar Ni/PZT/SrRuO3 capacitor using TEM. We observed the preferential, but asymmetric, nucleation and forward growth of switched c-domains at the PZT/electrode interfaces arising from the built-in electric field beneath each interface. The subsequent sideways growth was inhibited by the depolarization field due to the imperfect charge compensation at the counter electrode and preexisting a-domain walls, leading to asymmetric switching. It was found that the preexisting a-domains split into fine a- and c-domains constituting a $90^{\circ}$ stripe domain pattern during the $180^{\circ}$ polarization switching process, revealing that these domains also actively participated in the out-of-plane polarization switching. The real-time observations uncovered the origin of the switching asymmetry and further clarified the importance of charged domain walls and the interfaces with electrodes in the ferroelectric switching processes.

The ternary semiconducting compounds of the $A_{4}BX_{6}$(A=Cd, Zn, Hg; B=Si, Sn, Ge; X=S, Se, Te) type exhibit strong fluorescence and high photosensitivity in the visible and near infrared ranges, so these are supposed to be materials applicable to photoelectrical devices. These materials were synthesized and single crystals were first grown by Nitsche, who identified the crystal structure of the single crystals. In this paper. author describe the undoped and $Co^{2+}$-doped $Zn_{4}SnSe_{6}$ single crystals were grown by the chemical transport reaction(CTR) method using iodine of $6mg/cm^{3}$ as a transport agent. For the crystal. growth, the temperature gradient of the CTR furnace was kep at $700^{\circ}C$ for the source aone and at $820^{\circ}C$ for the growth zone for 7-days. It was found from the analysis of x-ray diffraction that undoped and $Co^{2+}$-doped $Zn_{4}SnSe_{6}$ compounds have a monoclinic structure. The optical absorption spectra obtained near the fundamental absorption edge showed that these compounds have a direct energy gaps. These temperature dependence of the optical energy gap were closely investigated over the temperature range 10[K]~300[K]
