A sensitivity analysis of FDS(Fire Dynamics Simulator) results for the input uncertainty of heat release rate (Q) which might be the most influencing parameter to fire behaviors was performed. The calculated results were compared with experimental data obtained by the OECD/NEA PRISME project. The sensitivity of FDS results with the change in Q was also compared with the empirical correlations suggested in previous literature. As a result, the change in the specified Q led to the different dependence of major quantities such as temperature and species concentrations for the over- and under-ventilated fire conditions, respectively. It was also found that the sensitivity of major quantities to uncertain value of Q showed the significant difference in results obtained using the previous empirical correlations.

Sn doped $In_2O_3$ (ITO) and ITO/Ni/ITO (INI) multilayer films were deposited on the glass substrates with a reactive magnetron sputtering system without intentional substrate heating and then the influence of the Ni interlayer on the methanol gas sensitivity of ITO and INI film sensors were investigated. Although both ITO and INI film sensors have the same thickness of 100 nm, INI sensors have a sandwich structure of ITO 50 nm/Ni 5 nm/ITO 45 nm. The changes in the gas sensitivity of the film sensors caused by methanol gas ranging from 100 to 1000 ppm were measured. It is observed that the INI film sensors show the higher sensitivity than that of the ITO single layer sensors. Finally, it can be concluded that the INI film sensor have the potential to be used as improved methanol gas sensors.

This study examined the relationship between NaCl sensitivity and stress response of Listeria monocytogenes. Nine strains of L. monocytogenes (NCCP10805, NCCP10806, NCCP10807, NCCP10808, NCCP10809, NCCP10810, NCCP10811, NCCP10920 and NCCP 10943) were exposed to 0%, 1%, 2% and 4% NaCl, and then incubated at 60℃ for 60 min to select strains that were heat-sensitized (HS) and non-sensitized (NS) by NaCl exposure. After heat challenge, L. monocytogenes strains were categorized as HS (NCCP 10805, NCCP10806, NCCP10807, NCCP10810, NCCP10811 and NCCP10920) or NS (NCCP10808, NCCP10809 and NCCP10943). Total mRNA was extracted from a HS strain (NCCP10811) and two NS strains (NCCP10808 and NCCP10809), and then cDNA was prepared to analyze the expression of genes (inlA, inlB, opuC, betL, gbuB, osmC and ctc) that may be altered in response to NaCl stress, by qRT-PCR. The expression levels of two invasion-related genes (inlA and inlB) and two stress response genes (opuC and ctc) were increased (p<0.05) in NS strains after NaCl exposure in an NaCl concentration-dependent manner. However, only betL expression was increased (p<0.05) in the HS strains. These results indicate that the effect of NaCl on heat sensitization of L. monocytogenes is strain dependent and that opuC and ctc may prevent NS L. monocytogenes strains from being heat sensitized by NaCl. Moreover, NaCl also increases the expression of invasion-related genes (inlA and inlB).

There are no specific guidelines on how to control the heat input for the heat generating smart base layer. This study investigated the mode of actuating heat pad attached to the base layer by performing a human wear test in a cold environment. Subjects participating in the test wore T-shirts, jumper and pants on the base layer with heating pads. Skin temperature, total time of heating and the number of switching for the heating mode were observed as the subject controlled the heating mode voluntarily. The comfortable range of skin temperature on the abdomen was larger than on the lower back. The subject felt hot and turned off the switch when the mean skin temperature of the abdomen was $48.8^{\circ}C$ and the lower back was $40.1^{\circ}C$. The total heating time and the number of actuating switching were larger for women than men. The voluntary action of heating for men with high cold sensitivity was significantly different from men with low cold sensitivity. Therefore, it is necessary (depending on gender and cold sensitivity) to set the heating mode differently for the automatic heat control of a future smart base layer.

후쿠시마 사고 이후 사용후핵연료 저장시설 안전성 재검증 필요성이 증대되고 있는 가운데, 재검증 결과의 신뢰성 향상을 위해 열부하 평가결과의 정확도 향상이 요구되고 있다. 이를 위한 기초연구로 본 연구에서는 상대적으로 중요성이 저평가되었던, 저장시나리오, 연소조건 관련 인자와 같이 붕괴열 및 열부하 평가 영향인자를 도출하고, 고리 4호기를 대상으로 ORIGEN2 코드를 이용해 그 효과를 평가하였다. 대표 저장시나리오에 대한 열부하 평가 결과, 최후 방출 핵연료의 붕괴열은 시나리오에 따라 전체 열부하의 최대 80.42%를 차지해 저장시설 열부하에 지배적인 영향을 미침이 확인되었다. 또한 연소조건 인자로 선택된 축 방향 연소 효과, 연소이력, 비출력 효과에 대한 민감도 분석 수행 결과, 냉각기간이 짧을수록 각 인자의 붕괴열에 대한 영향이 커지는 것으로 확인되었다. 각 인자별로는 비출력, 연소이력, 축 방향 연소 효과의 순으로 붕괴열에 대한 영향력이 컸으며, 특히 비출력의 경우 방출 직후 평균값의 0.34에서 1.66배, 방출 1년 후에는 평균 대비 0.55에서 1.37배까지 붕괴열 변화를 초래함이 확인되었다. 즉, 저장시설의 열부하 평가와 같이 냉각기간이 짧은 핵연료에 대한 해석 시 비출력, 연소이력과 같은 연소조건인자가 해석결과에 매우 큰 차이를 초래할 수 있으므로, 해석결과의 정확도 향상을 위해 기존 해석자의 공학적 판단에 의거한 임의 인자 대표성 핵연료 선택방식 대신 실제 운전 데이터의 적용 등이 필요할 것으로 보인다. 본 연구 결과는 향후 열부하 해석 결과의 정확도 향상 및 불확실도 평가를 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

In particular, gas sensors require characteristics such as high speed, sensitivity, and selectivity. In this study, we fabricated a $NO_X$ gas sensor by using a multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/zinc oxide (ZnO) composite film. The fabricated MWCNT/ZnO gas sensor was then treated by a $450^{\circ}C$ temperature process to increase its detection sensitivity for NOx gas. We compared the detection characteristics of a ZnO film gas sensor, MWCNT film gas sensor, and the MWCNT/ZnO composited film gas sensor with and without the heat-treatment process. The fabricated gas sensors were used to detect $NO_X$ gas at different concentrations. The gas sensor absorbed $NO_X$ gas molecules, exhibiting increased sensitivity. The sensitivity of the gas sensor was increased by increasing the gas concentration. Additionally, while changing the temperature inside the chamber for the MWCNT/ZnO composite film gas sensor, we obtained its sensitivity for detecting $NO_X$ gas. Compared with ZnO, the MWCNT film gas sensor is excellent for detecting $NO_X$ gas. From the experimental results, we confirmed the enhanced gas sensor sensing mechanism. The increased effect by electronic interaction between the MWCNT and ZnO films contributes to the improved sensor performance.

The sprinkler head is a component of the sprinkler system intended to discharge water for automatic detection and extinguishment of fires. On this study, thermal characteristic values affecting the sensitivity of the fusible alloy type sprinkler head were obtained and analyzed under heated air stream condition which had constant temperature and velocity. The experiment was carried out under the forced convection condition with both the conductive heat loss considered and neglected. The thermal characteristic values of the sprinkler head were obtained in accordance with the material and shape of the heat responsive element and the conditions of the main body.

This paper presents the model updating of an equipment panel by using modal test and sensitivity analysis. The equipment panel is one of the major structures of communication satellite, on which broadcasting and communication equipments are mounted. For high rigidity and light weight, the panel was designed as an aluminum honeycomb sandwich panel. In addition, heat pipes were embedded in the panel for thermal control. It is essential to improve the finite element model of a satellite by using modal test in order to verify the satellite is designed with adequate margin under launch environment. In this paper, Young's modulus of aluminum facesheet was selected as a modified parameter by sensitivity analysis. The effect of rotational springs of boundary points was also considered.

Rotary bending fatigue tests were carried out to investigate the artificial defect sensitivity of fatigue limit in annealed and austempered ductile irons. Artificial defect(hole, diameter${\leq}0.4mm$) machined on specimen surface did not bring about an obvious reduction of fatigue limit in austempered ductile iron as compared with annealed. As a result of investigation on $\sqrt{area}$ c which is the critical artificial defect size. $\sqrt{area}$ c of austempered ductile iron is larger than that of annealed. This means that the crack initiation at artificial defect in austempered ductile iron is more difficult in comparison with annealed. In case that the $\sqrt{area}$ c of artificial defect and graphite nodule are same, the rate of crack initiation for graphite nodule is higher than that of artificial defect.
