The role of magnetic resonance(MR) imaging in the evaluation of thoracic disease has been limited Nontheless, MR has inherent properties of better contrast resolution than CT allowing tissue-specific diagnosis. MR has capability of direct imaging in sagittal, coronal, and oblique planes which provide better anatomic information than axial images of CT such as lesions in the pulmonary apex, aorticopulmonary window, peridiaphragmatic region, and subcarinal region. MR is sensitive to blood flow making it an ideal imaging modality for the evaluation of cardiovascular system of the thorax without the need for intravenous contrast media. Technical developments and better control of motion artifacts have resulted in improved image quality, and clinical applications of MR imaging in thoracic diseases have been expanded. Although MR imaging is considered as a problem-solving tool in patients with equivocal CT findings, MR should be used as the primary imaging modality in the following situations: 1) Evaluation of the cardiovascular abnormalities of the thorax 2) Evaluation of the superior sulcus tumors 3) Evaluation of the chest wall invasion or mediastinal invasion by tumor 4) Evaluation of the posterior mediastinal mass, especially neurogenic tumor 5) Differentiation of fibrosis and residual or recurrent tumor, especially in lymphoma 6) Evaluation of brachial plexopathy With technical developments and fast scan capabilities, clinical indications for MR imaging in thorax will increase in the area of pulmonary parenchymal and pulmonary vascular imaging.

Relational Database Management Systems have become de facto database model among most developers and users since the inception of Data Science. From IoT devices, sensors, social media and other sources, data is generated in structured, semi-structured and unstructured formats, in huge volumes, thereby the difficulty of data management greatly increases. Organizations that collect large amounts of data are increasingly turning to non relational databases - NoSQL databases. In this paper, through experiments with real field data, we demonstrate that MongoDB, a document-based NoSQL database, is a better alternative for building a Telco Subscriber Data Management System which hitherto is mainly built with Relational Database Management Systems. We compare the existing system in various phases of data flow with our proposed system powered by MongoDB. We show how various workloads at some phases of the existing system were either completely removed or significantly simplified on the new system. Based on experiment results, using MongoDB for managing telco subscriber data turned out to offer performance better than the existing system built with MSSQL Server.

기존의 Machine Socialization 시스템은 서버를 공유기에 연결하여 사용하였다. 그러나 공유기의 낮은 성능으로 인해 데이터 흐름이 증가할수록 트래픽이 증가하였으며 이에 따라 기기 간 협업 시 데이터의 손실이 높아 작업이 중단되는 문제점이 발생하였다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 공유기에 연결된 서버를 옮기는 작업이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 병목현상을 줄이기 위해 클라우드 서버를 활용하여 기기 간 협업 시 데이터의 손실을 줄일 수 있는 시스템을 제안하였다. 또한 가상화 기술을 통해 기기와 센서를 나누어 관리하여 자원을 효율적으로 활용할 수 있는 시스템을 설계하였다.

Oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) were separated by high-performance membrane chromatography (HPMC), a combined system of chromatography and membrane. The separation mechanism involved anion-exchange, and the stationary phase was cation CIM (Convective Interaction Media) DEAE disk (16${\times}$3 mm). Two types of mobile phase were used, buffer A (20mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4) and buffer B (buffer A + 1M NaCl). As the amount of NaCl dissolved in buffer linearly increased, the retention time shortened, which enabled a gradient elution mode. Based on the number of theoretical plates and resolution observed, the optimum mobile phase and operating condition (Buffer A/Buffer B=50/50 - 20/80 vol%, gradient time 2 min) were experimentally determined. In this experimental condition, ODNs were separated within 2 min at a mobile phase flow rate of 6 ml/min.

본 논문에서는 분산된 협업 환경을 통합하는 콘텐츠 공유 모델을 제안한다. 확장 가능한 고해상도 디스플레이 자원, 로컬 및 원격 콘텐츠 공유, 다중 사용자 상호작용 및 접근제어 특성들을 통합하여 결합된 하나의 모델을 제공한다. 다중 사용자의 상호 작용은 모든 사용자가 상호 작용이 가능하다는 이점이 있지만, 그로 인해 오버랩이 발생할 수 있다. 그 오버랩을 관리하기 위해 접근 제어를 모델에 적용했으나 작업 흐름의 방해가 가능하다. 따라서 이 두 가지 사항을 중점으로 모델을 평가하기 위해 상호작용성에 대한 이용자 연구를 실시했다. 그 결과를 바탕으로 제안된 콘텐츠 공유 모델은 상호작용과 그 흐름을 방해 하지 않아 작업에 집중할 수 있는 분산 협업 환경을 제공한다.

3단형 과학로켓의 주엔진 추진제의 분사균일성에 대하여 수치해석을 수행하고 설계 개선안을 도출하였다. 분사기 유로는 동일한 압력강하를 가지는 다공성 매질로 처리하였다. 산화제와 연료 모두 공급 유로의 반대쪽에서 분사속도가 높은 것으로 예측되었으며 이는 유동정체에 따른 정압 상승에 기인한다. 산화제 매니폴드 내부의 수직분리판에 유로를 구성함으로써 매니폴드 중심과 외곽에서의 분사균일성을 향상시킬 수 있었다. 산화제 공급유로가 경사를 가지더라도 분사균일성과 압력손실에 미치는 영향은 거의 없었다. 또한 산화제/ 연료에 대한 분사속도로부터 혼합비의 분포를 예측하였다.

A computational fluid dynamics model for predicting moderator circulation inside the Canada deuterium uranium (CANDU) reactor vessel has been developed to estimate the local subcooling of the moderator in the vicinity of the calandria tubes. The buoyancy effect induced by the internal heating is accounted for by the Boussinesq approximation. The standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model with logarithmic wall treatment is applied to predict the turbulent jet flows from the inlet nozzles. The matrix of the calandria tubes in the core region is simplified to a porous media in which the anisotropic hydraulic impedance is modeled using an empirical correlation of pressure loss. The governing equations are solved by DFX-4.4, a commercial CFD code developed by AEA technology. The resultant flow patterns of the constant-z slices containing the inlet nozzles and the outlet port are "mined-type", as observed in the former 2-dimensional experimental investigations. With 103% full power for conservatism, the maximum temperature of the moderator is $82.9^{\circ}C$ at the top of the core region. Considering the hydrostatic pressure change, the minimum subcooling is $24.8^{\circ}C$.

This paper describes the air compressibility effect in the CFD simulation of water impact load prediction. In order to consider the air compressibility effect, two sets of governing equations are employed, namely the incompressible Navier-stokes equations and compressible Navier-Stokes equations that describe general compressible gas flow. In order to describe violent motion of free surface, volume-of-fluid method is utilized. The role of air compressibility is presented by the comparative study of water impact load obtained from two different air models, i.e. the compressible and incompressible air. For both cases, water is considered as incompressible media. Compressible air model shows oscillatory behavior of pressure on the solid surface that may attribute to the air-cushion effect. Incompressible air model showed no such oscillatory behavior in the pressure history. This study also showed that the CFD simulation can capture the formation of air pockets enclosed by water and solid surface, which may be the location where the air compressibility effect is dominant.

Richards식을 해석하려면 토양의 수리특성인 물보유함수와 비포화투수계수에 대한 자료가 필요하다. SCS에서 구분한 토양군중 A, B, C에 해당한다고 판단되는 토양시료를 채취하여 각 토양군별로 본 연구에서 개발한 장치를 이용하여 물보유함수를 측정하였고, 또한 정수두법으로 포화투수계수를 측정하였다. 각 토양군을 대표할 수 있는 하나의 물보유함수와 비포화투수계수를 산정하기 위하여 van Genuchten의 물보유함수와 Mualem의 투수계수예측모형을 이용하였다. 각 토양군별로 실측된 자료를 이용하여 van Genuchten식의 매개변수를 추정한 값을 제시하였고, 그와 같은 자료는 미실측지역에서 비포화흐름을 해석하고자할 때 하나의 기준으로 사용될 수 있다.

Fuel assembly (FA) bow in pressurized water reactor (PWR) cores is considered to be a complex process with a large number of influencing mechanisms and several unknowns. Uncertainty and sensitivity analyses are a common way to assess the predictability of such complex phenomena. To perform such analyses, a structural model of a row of 15 FAs in the reactor core is implemented with the finite-element code ANSYS Mechanical APDL. The distribution of lateral hydraulic forces within the core row is estimated based on a two-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics model with porous media, assuming symmetric or asymmetric core inlet and outlet flow profiles. The influence of the creep rate on the bow amplitude is tested based on different creep models for guide tubes and fuel rods. Different FA initial states are considered: fresh FAs or FAs with higher burnup, which may be initially straight or exhibit an initial bow from previous cycles. The simulation results over one reactor cycle demonstrate that changes in the creep rate and the hydraulic conditions may have a considerable impact on the bow amplitudes and the bow patterns. A good knowledge of the specific creep behavior and the hydraulic conditions is therefore crucial for making reliable predictions.
