In terms of safety and the efficient management of spent fuel storage, detecting failed fuel is one of the most important tasks in a CANada Deuterium Uranium (CANDU) reactor operation. It has been successfully demonstrated that in a CANDU reactor, on-power failed fuel detection and location systems, along with alarm area gamma monitors, can detect and locate defective and suspect fuel bundles before discharging them from the reactor to the spent fuel storage bay. In the reception bay, however, only visual inspection has been used to identify suspect bundles. Gaseous fission product and delayed neutron monitoring systems cannot precisely distinguish failed fuel elements from each fuel bundle. This study reports the use of a sipping system in a CANDU reactor for the integrity assessment of spent fuel bundles. The integrity assessment of spent fuel bundles using this sipping system has shown promise as a nondestructive test for detecting a defective fuel bundle in a CANDU reactor.

GPS anomaly has increased according to the degradation of satellite performance, and many GPS users could be exposed to any kinds of error-included signals without any previous notice when unscheduled error occurred. RSIM (Reference Station Integrity Monitors) is a typical monitoring method to broadcast PRC (Pseudo Range Correction) for users. However, there were some cases that the receiver detected the anomalous satellite's signal even though it was unhealthy set, consequently it occurred a large range error. Then it is important to monitor the integrity of GPS signal and it is needed to devise the correction method of pseudorange by eliminating error-occurred PRN for notification to GPS users when it is monitored that the anomaly occurred. This paper proposes the basic concept of how to correct the pseudorange. The paper also shows the analysis results of PRN10 GPS anomaly occurred on day 39 in 2007 with corrected results by eliminating anomaly satellite (PRN10). The proposed correction method shows decreased pseudorange error range compared to the case when the anomaly satellite were used.

High speed seam weldability of tin coated steels was investigated. Welding was performed by the laboratory wire seam welder that was equipped with process monitoring system Test results showed that increase in applied current and pressure reduced the total resistance across the welding electrodes. Lower and upper limits of welding current increased as the sheet thickness increased, while the acceptable welding condition range decreased. However, extremely low electrode pressure produced unstable welding condition range. The results also demonstrated that slower welding speeds widened the optimum welding heat input range.

무선 센서 네트워크에서 지역 감시는 데이터를 보호하는 효과적인 방법이지만 기존의 방법은 위조 데이터를 탐지하는데 많은 통신 부하를 요구하며, 이는 네트워크 수명을 단축시키는 결과를 야기한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 시큐어 데이터 병합에 소요되는 에너지 소모 저감을 목적으로 하는 새로운 감시 기반 시큐어 데이터 병합 및 허위 데이터 필터링 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법에서 애그리게이터와 이의 감시 노드는 60o의 내각을 갖도록 분할된 육분원형 클러스터를 기반으로 데이터 병합을 수행한다. 그리고 데이터 병합 과정에서 메시지 인증 코드(MAC)의 비교를 통해 애그리게이터에 의해 병합된 데이터와 감시 노드에 의해 감지된 데이터가 불일치하는 것으로 판단되면 병합 데이터는 전달 애그리게이터에 의해 소거된다. 시뮬레이션에 의하면 제안된 방법은 평균 소모 에너지 측면에서 DAA 프로토콜에비해에너지 소모가 64% 감소되었음을확인하였다. 또한 이를통해제안된 프로토콜은DAA 프로토콜에 비해 네트워크 수명을 283% 연장 가능하며, 이 때 데이터 정확도 측면에서의 성능 저하는 없었다.

Since the reliability of adhesively bonded joints for composite structures is dependent on many parameters such as the shape and dimensions of joints, type of applied load, and environment, so an accurate estimation of the fatigue life of adhesively bonded joints is seldom possible, which necessitates an in-situ reliability monitoring of the joints during the operation of structures. In this study, a self-sensor method for adhesively bonded joints was devised, in which the adhesive used works as a piezoelectric material to send changing signals depending on the integrity of the joint. From the investigation, it was found that the electric charge increased gradually as cracks initiated and propagated in the adhesive layer, and had its maximum value when the adhesively bonded joint failed. So it is feasible to monitor the integrity of the joint during its lifetime. Finally, a relationship between the piezoelectric property of the adhesive and crack propagation was obtained from the experimental results.

In this work, an efficient aircraft landing simulation strategy is proposed to develop an efficient and reliable hard-landing monitoring procedure. Landing stage is the most dangerous moment during operation cycle of aircraft and it may cause structural damage when hard-landing occurs. Therefore, the occurrence of hard-landing should be reported accurately to guarantee the structural integrity of aircraft. In order to accurately determine whether hard-landing occurs or not from given landing conditions, full nonlinear structural dynamic simulation can be performed, but this approach is highly time-consuming. Thus, a more efficient approach for aircraft landing simulation which uses a hierarchical aircraft landing model and an extended inertia relief technique is proposed. The proposed aircraft landing model is composed of a multi-body dynamics model equipped with landing gear and tire models to extract the impact force and inertia force at touch-down and a linear dynamic structural model with an extended inertia relief method to analyze the structural response subject to the prescribed rigid body motion and the forces extracted from the multi-body dynamics model. The numerical examples show the efficiency and practical advantages of the proposed landing model as an essential component of aircraft hard-landing monitoring procedure.

GPS를 항공기의 항법 장치로 사용하게 되면 기술적, 경제적인 면에서 많은 이익을 얻을 수 있다. 그런데 항공기는 어떤 시스템보다도 안전이 중요한 시스템이므로 개발된 항법 장치를 사용하기에 앞서 항법해의 신뢰성을 확보하는 것이 우선되어야 한다. 그에 따라 본 논문에서는 항공기 착륙 시에 사용하게 될 DGPS를 이용해서 측정치의 고장을 검출하고 고장이 검출된 측정치를 제거하는 시스템을 구현하고자 하였다. 또한 구현된 시스템의 성능을 평가하기 위해 여러 가지 상황에 대해서 실제 데이터를 사용하여 실험을 실시하였고, 그 결과 일부 구간을 제외하고는 고장의 검출 및 제거가 잘 이루어지는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 하지만 좀 더 완벽한 신뢰성을 확보하기 위해서는 측정치의 오차에 대한 분석, 다른 장치들과의 통합을 통한 가용성 확보 등에 대한 연구가 앞으로 많이 이루어져야 할 것으로 보인다.

Objectives: Nail has been a substitute DNA source for genotyping. To investigate the integrity and consistency of nail DNA amplification for biomarker study, nail clippings from 12 subjects were collected at monthly intervals. The possibility of longer amplification and existence of GAPDH RNA/protein, were also investigated with three nail samples. Methods: Three primer sets were designed for quantitative amplification of nuclear and mitochondrial genes and analysis of their consistency. The mean threshold cycles in amplification of the target genes were compared to test the consistency of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) performance among individual factors including age groups, sex, family, the nail source, and by the size of the amplification segments. Results: The amplification of the target genes from nail DNA showed similar integrity and consistency between the nail sources, and among the serial collections. However, nail DNA from those in their forties showed earlier threshold cycles in amplification than those in their teens or seventies. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) showed better DNA integrity and consistency in amplification of all three targets than did nuclear DNA (nucDNA). Over 9 kb of mtDNA was successfully amplified, and nested quantitative PCR showed reliable copy numbers (%) between the two loci. Reverse transcription PCR for mRNA and immunoblotting for GAPDH protein successfully reflected their corresponding amounts. Regarding the existence of RNA and protein in nails, more effective extraction and detection methods need to be set up to validate the feasibility in biomarker study. Conclusions: Nail DNA might be a feasible intra-individual monitoring biomarker. Considering integrity and consistency in target amplification, mtDNA would be a better target for biomarker research than nucDNA.
