A cellulolytic and xylanolytic enzyme complex-producing alkalothermoanaerobacterium strain, Tepidimicrobium xylanilyticum BT14, is described. The cell was Grampositive, rod-shaped, and endospore-forming. Based on 16S rRNA gene analysis and various lines of biochemical and physiological properties, the strain BT14 is a new member of the genus Tepidimicrobium. The strain BT14 cells had the ability to bind to Avicel, xylan, and corn hull. The pH and temperature optima for growth were 9.0 and $60^{\circ}C$, respectively. The strain BT14 was able to use a variety of carbon sources. When the bacterium was grown on corn hulls under an anaerobic condition, a cellulolytic and xylanolytic enzyme complex was produced. Crude enzyme containing cellulase and xylanase of the strain BT14 was active in broad ranges of pH and temperature. The optimum conditions for cellulase and xylanase activities were pH 8.0 and 9.0 at $60^{\circ}C$, respectively. The crude enzyme had the ability to bind to Avicel and xylan. The analysis of native-PAGE and native-zymograms indicated the cellulosebinding protein showing both cellulase and xylanase activities, whereas SDS-PAGE zymograms showed 4 bands of cellulases and 5 bands of xylanases. Evidence of a cohesinlike amino acid sequence seemed to indicate that the protein complex shared a direct relationship with the cellulosome of Clostridium thermocellum. The crude enzyme from the strain BT14 showed effective degradation of plant biomass. When grown on corn hulls at pH 9.0 and $60^{\circ}C$ under anaerobic conditions, the strain BT14 produced ethanol and acetate as the main fermentation products.

The interaction between advancing ships and the waves generated by them plays important roles in wave resistances and ship motions. Wave breaking phenomena near the ship bow at different speeds are investigated both numerically and experimentally. Numerical simulations of free surface profiles near the fore bodies of ships are performed and visualized to grasp the general trend or the mechanism of wave breaking phenomena from moderate waves rather than concentrating on local chaotic irregularities as ship speeds increase. Navier-Stokes equations are differentiated based on the finite difference method. The Marker and Cell (MAC) Method and Marker-Density Method are employed, and they are compared for the description of free surface conditions associated with the governing equations. Extra effort has been directed toward the realization of extremely complex free surface conditions at wave breaking. For this purpose, the air-water interface is treated with marker density, which is used for two layer flows of fluids with different properties. Adaptation schemes and refinement of the numerical grid system are also used at local complex flows to improve the accuracy of the solutions. In addition to numerical simulations, various model tests are performed in a ship model towing tank. The results are compared with numerical calculations for verification and for realizing better, more efficient research performance. It is expected that the present research results regarding wave breaking and the geometry of the fore body of ship will facilitate better hull form design productivity at the preliminary ship design stage, especially in the case of small and fast ship design. Also, the obtained knowledge on the impact due to the interaction of breaking waves and an advancing hull surface is expected to be applicable to investigation of the ship bow slamming problem as a specific application.

임상 진단에서 환자의 의료 영상을 시각적으로 보고 해석하거나 또는 수작업으로 영상을 해석하여 진단에 이용한다. 이러한 수작업의 불편함을 해소하기 위하여 의료 영상처리 알고리즘들이 많이 연구되어오고 있다. 그 중 영상처리의 정확도 부분이 많은 문제가 되고 있는데, 특히 세포영상에서는 인접한 영역의 분할이 가장 중요시되고 있다. 본 논문은 이러한 인접영역의 분할을 위해 객체의 기하 정보인 곡률(Curvature) 정보와 컨벡스 헐(Convex Hull)을 통한 분할 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 실험 결과 87.5%의 정확도가 검출되었으며 향후 인접 객체의 내부정보까지 고려한 효과적인 분할 방법을 연구하고자 한다.

Wave breaking phenomenon near the fore body of a ship is numerically simulated. The ship advance with uniform velocity in calm water. For the simulation, incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and continuity equation are adopted as governing equations. The simulation is carried out in staggered variable mesh system with finite difference method. Marker and Cell(MAC) method and Marker-Density method are employed to track the free surface. Body boundary conditions are satisfied with the adoption of porosity method and no-slip condition on the hull surface. The ship model has a wedge type fore-body, and the computational domain is an appropriate region around the fore-body. The computation results are compared with some experimental results. Also the difference of the free surface tracking methods are discussed.

본 연구에서는 사용후핵연료봉으로부터 헐(Hull)과 펠릿(Pellet)을 분류하여 수납하는 용기에 관한 것이다. 수납용기는 분리된 헐과 펠릿을 함께 수납하되, 펠릿을 통과시키는 펠릿 통과부가 형성된 헐 수납용기와, 헐 수납용기 하부에 위치한 펠릿을 수납하는 수납용기를 구비하고, 펠릿 통과부를 선택적으로 개폐할 수 있는 헐 차단유닛 등이 있다. 따라서 유해지역인 핫셀(Hot-cell) 내에서 펠릿 조각이나 헐이 분산되는 위험을 피할 수 있어 안전성이 확보되고, 각각의 수납용기에 자동으로 분류 및 수납되는 공정을 도입하여 일괄적으로 작업을 진행시킬 수 있으며, 별도의 공정이 필요치 않아 작업시간을 절약할 수 있다.

This paper describes a numerical study to make clear the characteristics of flow around a high speed catamaran hull advancing on calm water. The simulation is carried out at Froude number of 0.5 with a separation to length rations of 0.2 to 0.5. To simulate the flows, the Navier-Stokes solver is employed in which the free surface condition is included. Computations are performed in a rectangular grid system based grid system based on the Marker & Cell method. For the validation, the computation results are compared with the experiments.

본 연구에서는 제한된 수로를 운항하는 선체주위의 유동특성에 관한 연구를 수행하고자 하였다. 일반적으로 운하 또는 하천을 운항하는 선박의 경우 제한된 수심의 영향으로 천수효과가 발생하게 된다. 이러한 천수의 효과와 제한된 폭의 영향으로 선수부분에서 선체보다 선행하는 파도가 전파되어 나아가기도 하며, 이로 인하여 선박은 보다 많은 조파저항을 받게 된다. 본 연구에서는 임의의 형상을 갖는 선체가 폭과 수심이 제한된 운하를 임계속도 근처에서 운항하는 경우에 관하여 폭과 수심을 변화시켜가며 수치계산을 수행하여, 제한수로에서의 임의의 선체주위의 유동특성을 관찰하고자 하였다. 수치계산은 MAC(Marker And Cell)법을 기초로 한 유한차분법(Finite Difference Method)을 사용하였으며, 계산에 사용된 격자계는 임의의 형상에 관하여 격자생성이 용이한 직사각형 격자계(Rectangular Grid System)를 사용하였다.

In this paper, we proposed the optimal process conditions on the electro-gilding process. The responses are plating thickness and Sn proportion. The factors are temperature, current density, and addition. We minimized the total number of experiments based on the principle of dividing into small part. We grouped the factors using the plating process information which we already knew. We did Hull Cell test to find relationship between plating solution and electric effects, and applied ANOVA and RSM to estimate the optimal process conditions.

The ships transiting the Northern Sea Route (NSR) have been gradually increased so that the number of ship-ice collision accidents would be increased. The collision between ship and ice floe can lead to serious damage of hulls and decline of ship's maneuverability. In this study, collision tests that a model ship is forced to collide with disk-shaped synthetic ice floes are conducted in a towing tank. The synthetic ice floes made of polypropylene which has similar density with real ice are used. The ice load is measured by a load cell installed on the carriage rod. The ice floe's motion is measured by a motion sensor installed on the synthetic ice floe. The influences of contact conditions such as hull form and ship speed on the ship-ice collision response are investigated and discussed by measured peak force and ice floe's motion.
