Objectives: This scientometric and bibliometric analysis explored scientific publications related to hydraulic calcium silicate-based (HCSB) sealers used in endodontology, aiming to describe basic bibliometric indicators and analyze current research trends. Materials and Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted in Web of Science and Scopus using specific HCSB sealer and general endodontic-related terms. Basic research parameters were collected, including publication year, authorship, countries, institutions, journals, level of evidence, study design and topic of interest, title terms, author keywords, citation counts, and density. Results: In total, 498 articles published in 136 journals were retrieved for the period 2008-2023. Brazil was the leading country, and the universities of Bologna in Italy and Sao Paolo in Brazil were represented equally as leading institutions. The most frequently occurring keywords were "calcium silicate," "root canal sealer MTA-Fillapex," and "biocompatibility," while title terms such as "calcium," "sealers," "root," "canal," "silicate based," and "endodontic" occurred most often. According to the thematic map analysis, "solubility" appeared as a basic theme of concentrated research interest, and "single-cone technique" was identified as an emerging, inadequately developed theme. The co-occurrence analysis revealed 4 major clusters centered on sealers' biological and physicochemical properties, obturation techniques, retreatability, and adhesion. Conclusions: This analysis presents bibliographic features and outlines changing trends in HCSB sealer research. The research output is dominated by basic science articles scrutinizing the biological and specific physicochemical properties of commonly used HCSB sealers. Future research needs to be guided by studies with a high level of evidence that utilize innovative, sophisticated technologies.

To improve the performance of blanket: maximizing the tritium breeding rate (TBR) for tritium self-sufficiency, and minimizing the Dose of backplate for radiation protection, most previous studies are based on manual corrections to adjust the blanket structure to achieve optimization design, but it is difficult to find an optimal structure and tends to be trapped by local optimizations as it involves multiphysics field design, which is also inefficient and time-consuming process. The artificial intelligence (AI) maybe is a potential method for the optimization design of the blanket. So, this paper aims to develop an intelligent optimization method based on an improved multi-objective NSGA-III algorithm and an adaptive BP neural network to solve these problems mentioned above. This method has been applied on optimizing the radial arrangement of a conceptual design of CFETR HCSB blanket. Finally, a series of optimal radial arrangements are obtained under the constraints that the temperature of each component of the blanket does not exceed the limit and the radial length remains unchanged, the efficiency of the blanket optimization design is significantly improved. This study will provide a clue and inspiration for the application of artificial intelligence technology in the optimization design of blanket.

This study was performed to investigate the changes of total and soluble ${\beta}$-glucan contents, purity and physicochemical characteristics of alkali hydrolyzed barley varieties: Saessalbori (SSB), Saechalssalbori (SCSB) and Hinchalssalbori (HCSB). The barleys were hydrolyzed at different concentrations of sodium hydroxide (0.2~1.0 N) for 12 hours. Total ${\beta}$-glucan contents of raw SSB, SCSB and HCSB were 8.40, 7.77 and 8.28%, and soluble ${\beta}$-glucan contents were 4.80, 4.16 and 4.61%, respectively. The total ${\beta}$-glucan contents after alkali hydrolyzed at 1.0 N NaOH were 7.54, 6.89 and 7.54%, also soluble ${\beta}$-glucan contents were 4.82, 4.30 and 4.55%, respectively. The degree of purity of soluble ${\beta}$-glucan in SSB, SCSB, and HCSB were 35.79, 30.91 and 33.90%, respectively. They were increased to 74.02, 75.28 and 81.41% after hydrolyzed at 1.0 N NaOH, respectively. The molecular weight and viscosity of soluble ${\beta}$-glucan solutions were decreased as sodium hydroxide concentration was increased. The re-solubility of raw barley ${\beta}$-glucan was about 50%; however, it was increased to approximately 87% as sodium hydroxide concentration was increased.

In order to solve the problem of calculating the reasonable completed bridge state of a self-anchored hybrid cable-stayed suspension bridge (SA-HCSB), this paper proposes an analytical method. This method simplifies the main beam into a continuous beam with multi-point rigid supports and solves the support reaction forces. According to the segmented catenary theory, it simultaneously solves the horizontal forces of the main span main cables and the stay cables and iteratively calculates the equilibrium force system on the main beam in the collaborative system bridge state while completing the shape finding of the main span main cable and stay cables. Then, the horizontal forces of the side span main cables and stay cables are obtained based on the balance of horizontal forces on the bridge towers, and the shape finding of the side spans are completed according to the segmented catenary theory. Next, the difference between the support reaction forces of the continuous beam with multiple rigid supports obtained from the initial and final iterations is used to calculate the load of ballast on the side span main beam. Finally, the axial forces and strains of each segment of the main beam and bridge tower are obtained based on the loads applied by the main cable and stay cables on the main beam and bridge tower, thereby obtaining analytical data for the bridge in the reasonable completed state. In this paper, the rationality and effectiveness of this analytical method are verified through a case study of a SA-HCSB with a main span of 720m in finite element analysis. At the same time, it is also verified that the equilibrium force of the main beam under the reasonably completed bridge state can be obtained through iterative calculation. The analytical algorithm in this paper has clear physical significance, strong applicability, and high accuracy of calculation results, enriching the shape-finding method of this bridge type.

7개 나라가 참여해서 공동으로 제작하고 있는 국제핵융합실험로(ITER)는 2020년경에 제작 설치가 완료될 예정이다. ITER 장치에는 6개의 시험 블랑켓 모듈(Test Blanket Module : TBM)이 장착될 예정이며, 그 중에서 한국도 1개를 독자적으로 제작해서 설치할 예정이다. 한국형 헬륨 냉각 고체형 증식(Helium Cooled Solid Breeder : HCSB) TBM이며, 한국은 ITER 참여국 중 유일하게 중성자 반사 재료를 채택한 것이 특징이다. 중성자 반사재료로는 지름 1 mm 내외의 흑연 페블에 SiC를 코팅해서 사용할 예정이다. SiC는 고온저방사화 물질로 차세대 핵융합로의 구조 재료로도 개발되고 있는 물질로, 이렇게 하면 흑연의 단점인 기계적 특성 향상뿐만 아니라, 산화나 화재 등에 대한 사고의 부담도 크게 줄일 수 있는 장점이 있다. 흑연위에 SiC를 코팅하는 방법은 여러 가지가 있으며, 그 중에서 비교적 간단한 건식 방법은 RF Sputtering, PECVD 등이 있다. 건식은 코팅방법이 간단하고 비교적 쉬운 편이지만 페블표면에 양질의 SiC 박막을 얻기가 쉽지 않은 단점이 있다. 이들 방법보다 습식법은 코팅이 까다롭지만 양질의 코팅막을 비교적 쉽게 얻을 수 있는 장점이 있다. CVD의 경우 전구체 물질로 여러 가지 물질이 사용될 수 있으며 대표적으로 $SiH_4$, $Si(CH_3)_4$, $CH_3SiCl_3$ 등이 있으며, 캐리어 가스로는 $H_2$가 사용된다. 이렇게 얻어진 SiC 코팅페블은 흑연에 비해 파괴강도도 향상되고 마모 등에 강한 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

핵융합의 고체형 증식(Helium Cooled Solid Breeder : HCSB) 블랑켓(Blanket Module)은 삼중수소 증식을 위해서 Li4SiO4, Li2TiO3, Li2O 및 Li2ZrO3 등의 페블이 고려되고 있다. 이러한 페블을 제조하기 위해서는 먼저 각각의 분말 제조가 선행되어야 한다. 한국의 Test Blanket Module(TBM)은 Li4SiO4 페블을 개발을 개발하여 사용할 예정이고 옵션으로 Li2TiO3 페블을 개발하는 것으로 되어 있다. Li4SiO4 페블을 개발하기 위해서 먼저 분말합성이 필수적이다. Li4SiO4 분말을 합성에 하기 위해서는 Lithium 금속염과 실리카 졸을 용매 및 폴리머 캐리어로서의 두 가지 기능을 하는 에틸렌글리콜에 첨가한 후 가열하여 완전히 용해시킨 후 혼합 용액을 건조시켜 겔형의 전구체를 제조한다. 이를 하소한 후 결정화시켜 Silicate 분말을 얻는데 이때의 건조, 하소 및 결정화 온도의 조건에 따른 분말의 크기 및 특성이 각각 다르다. 즉, 바인더 물질의 비율과 합성온도에 따라 특성이 약간씩 다른 분말을 얻을 수 있었다. 이렇게 얻어진 Silicate 분말은 지르코니아 볼을 이용하여 약 24 시간 동안 볼 밀링 과정을 통해 입도가 작은 미세한 Silicate 분말로 만들었다. 합성된 분말은 여러 가지 시험 및 분석을 통해서 검증되었으며, 불순물 등은 관찰되지 않았다.

The blanket plays an important role in fusion reactor and stands extremely high thermal and electromagnetic loads during operation situation and plasma disruption event, brings the need for precise thermal and electromagnetic analysis. Since the thermal field and EM field interact with each other nonlinearly, we develop a method of electromagnetic-thermal two-way coupling by using finite element software COMSOL. The coupling analyses of blanket under steady state and MD event are implemented and the results are analyzed. For steady state, the influences of coupling effects are relatively small but still recommended to be considered for a high precision analysis. The influence of thermal field on EM field can't be ignored under MD events. The variation of force density could cause a significant change in stress in certain parts of blanket. The influence of Joule heat during MD event is negligible, yet the potential temperature rise caused by induced current after MD event still needs to be researched.

국제핵융합실험로(ITER)에 장착되는 한국형 헬륨 냉각 고체형 증식(Helium Cooled Solid Breeder : HCSB) 시험 블랑켓(Test Blanket Module : TBM)은 ITER 참여국 중 유일하게 중성자 반사 재료를 채택한 것이 특징이다. 중성자 반사재료로는 지름 1 mm 내외의 흑연 페블을 사용 할 예정이다. 흑연은 중성자 반사특성은 우수하지만 기계적 특성이 비교적 좋지 않다는 단점이있다. 뿐만 아니라, 산화나 화재 등에 대해서도 취약하기 때문에 흑연이 노출된 상태로 사용하는 것은 위험부담이 클 수밖에 없다. 따라서 흑연을 코팅해서 사용하기 위한 연구개발이 진행 중이며, 코팅 후보물질로는 저방사화 및 고경도의 특성을 갖는 SiC가 유력시 되고 있다. 흑연위에 SiC를 코팅하는 방법은 여러 가지가 있으며, 그 중에서 비교적 간단한 RF Sputtering, PECVD를 이용해서 SiC를 코팅하고 그 특성을 평가했다. RF Sputtering에서 흑연의 온도를 상온으로 두었을 때는 SiC가 결정으로 성장되지 않는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, $900^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서 열처리과정을 거친 후 결정이 형성되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고 열처리 온도가 $1200^{\circ}C$ 부근에서는 SiC nano-wire가 형성되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. PECVD의 경우 전구체 물질로 사용된 $SiH_4$와 $CH_4$의 비율에 따라서 SiC의 형성비율이 다른 것을 알 수 있었으며, 결정 상태는 성장시 기판온도에 크게 의존하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 최근에는 보다 효율적으로 SiC를 코팅하기 위하여 흑연페블을 spouting시키면서 코팅할 수 있는 CVD 장치를 설계-제작했으며, 전구체 물질로는 $SiH_4$, $Si(CH_3)_4$, $CH_3$ $SiCl_3$ 등이 사용될 예정이다.

한국형 헬륨 냉각 고체형 증식(Helium Cooled Solid Breeder : HCSB) 시험 블랑켓(Test Blanket Module : TBM)은 삼중수소 증식을 위해서 $Li_2TiO_3$ 및 $Li_4SiO_4$ 페블을 고려하고 있으며, 중성자 반사 재료로는 SiC가 코팅된 흑연 페블을 사용할 예정이다. $Li_2TiO_3$ 및 $Li_4SiO_4$ 페블을 제조하기 위해서는 먼저 각각의 분말 제조가 선행되어야 한다. $Li_2TiO_3$ 분말을 합성하기 위해서는 먼저 Lithium 금속염과 Isopropoxide를 용매 및 폴리머 캐리어로서의 두 가지 기능을 하는 에틸렌글리콜에 첨가한 후 가열하여 완전히 용해시킨 후 혼합 용액을 건조시켜 겔형의 전구체를 제조한다. 이를 하소한 후 결정화시켜 Titanate 분말을 얻는데 이때의 건조, 하소 및 결정화 온도의 조건에 따른 분말의 크기 및 특성이 각각 다르다. 즉 하소 온도가 $600^{\circ}C$ 미만이면 열분해된 폴리머로부터 잔유 탄소가 남게 되고, $700^{\circ}C$를 초과하면 결정화가 시작된다. 이렇게 얻어진 Titanate분말은 지르코니아 볼을 이용하여 약 24 시간 동안 볼 밀링 과정을 통해 입도분포가 좁은 미세한 Titanate 분말로 만들었다. $Li_2TiO_3$ 페블은 위의 과정에서 얻어진 미세분말에 바인더를 이용하여 페블화 시킨 후 $1200^{\circ}C$의 전기로에서 최종 소결한 것이다. 중성자 반사 재료인 흑연페블은 강도가 약하기 때문에 표면에 SiC를 수 ${\mu}m$ 코팅해서 사용할 예정이다. 선행실험으로 건식법을 이용하여 SiC 코팅을 실시했으며, 그 결과를 소개할 것이다.

This study was performed to investigate the changes of total and soluble ${\beta}$-glucan contents, purity, and physical characteristics of three heated barley varieties: Saessalbori (SSB), Saechalssalbori (SCSB), and Hinchalssalbori (HCSB). The barleys were heated at different temperatures of 110, 120, 130, 140 and $150^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. The total ${\beta}$-glucan contents of raw SSB, SCSB, and HCSB were 8.40, 7.77 and 8.28%, and the soluble ${\beta}$-glucan contents were 4.79, 4.14, and 4.61%, respectively. After heating at $130^{\circ}C$, the total ${\beta}$-glucan contents increased to 11.59, 14.6, and 13.36%, as did the soluble ${\beta}$-glucan contents to 4.21, 7.96, and 7.23%, respectively. The purities of soluble ${\beta}$-glucan of the raw barleys were 35.11, 32.74 and 25.62%, but after heating at $150^{\circ}C$, it increased to 83.43, 91.02, and 88.01%, respectively. The molecular weight and viscosity of the ${\beta}$-glucan solution decreased with increasing heating temperature. The re-solubility of raw barley ${\beta}$-glucan was about 50%, but it was increased to 97% with increasing heating temperature. These results suggest that heating of ${\beta}$-glucan can improve the utilization of barley ${\beta}$-glucan.
