Nowadays, evaluation of amounts and distributions of radioactive waste is an important preparatory step in the process of nuclear reactor decommissioning. For tentative estimation of radioactive waste, a cell-based rigorous 2 step (R2S) method usually is used; however, a poor resolution caused by the averaged flux and spectrum in a cell is still a great challenge because of leading to underestimated or overestimated results. To overcome the poor resolution, several systems were introduced. Neither system, however, provides any function for evaluation of radioactive waste amount and distribution. Thus, it is additionally required to classify radioactive waste based on the results of activation calculation. In this study, the advanced R2S (AR2S) system was developed. To verify the performance of the system, its results for a verification problem were compared with those of the cell-based R2S method. The results showed good agreement, which is to say, within 2.0% relative error. Also, several characteristics of fine/coarse mesh were analyzed. To demonstrate the performance of the AR2S system, the radioactive waste from the Japan Power Demonstration Reactor (JPDR) was estimated, and the result indicated a high-resolution distribution. Therefore, it is expected that the AR2S system will prove useful for precise evaluation of radioactive waste.

Recently, with the development of mobile computing power, mobile-based VR and AR services are being developed. Due to network performance and computing power constraints, VR and AR services using large-capacity 3D content have limitations. A study on an efficient 3D content load method for a mobile device is required. The conventional method downloads all 3D content used for AR services at the same time. In this paper, we propose an active 3D content load according to the user's track. The proposed method is a partitioned 3D object load. Edge servers were installed for each area and connected through the MESH network. Partitioned load the required 3D object in the area referring to the user's location. The location is identified through the edge server information of the connected AP. The performance of the proposed method and the conventional method was compared. As a result of the comparison, the proposed method showed a stable Mobile AR Service. The results of this study, it is expected to contribute to the activation of edge server-based AR mobile services.

IEEE 802.11 물리/MAC 계층을 기반으로 무선 다중 홉 연결을 제공하는 Wi-Fi 메쉬 네트워크는 RFID 시스템과 무선 센서 네트워크를 위한 네트워크 인프라로 최근 각광받고 있다. 그런데, 현재의 IEEE 802.11 기술의 경쟁 기반 MAC 프로토콜은 빈번한 프레임 충돌(Collision)과 자원 미사용(Idle)으로 인해 Wi-Fi 메쉬 네트워크가 제공하는 용량(Capacity)을 충분하게 활용하지 못하는 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 Wi-Fi 메쉬 네트워크의 수율을 최대화하기 위한 다중 채널 스케줄링 MAC (MCS-MAC) 프로토콜을 제시한다. MCS-MAC 프로토콜은 IEEE 802.11 무선 채널의 특징인 이차적 간섭 모형(Secondary Interference Model) 하에서 프레임 충돌이 없이 최대 가중치를 가지는 링크들을 활성화하여 Wi-Fi 네트워크의 수율을 극대화하는 특징을 가지고 있다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안하는 MCS-MAC 프로토콜이 기존에 알려진 동적 MAC 프로토콜들에 비해 최소 세 배 이상 수율을 향상할 수 있음을 보인다.

Human heart valves diseased by congenital heart defects, rheumatic fever, bacterial infection, cancer may cause stenosis or insufficiency in the valves. Treatment may be with medication but often involves valve repair or replacement (insertion of an artificial heart valve). Bileaflet mechanical heart valves (BMHVs) are widely implanted to replace the diseased heart valves, but still suffer from complications such as hemolysis, platelet activation, tissue overgrowth and device failure. These complications are closely related to both flow characteristics through the valves and leaflet dynamics. In this study, the physiological flow interacting with the moving leaflets in a bileaflet mechanical heart valve (BMHV) is simulated with a strongly coupled implicit fluid-structure interaction (FSI) method which is newly organized based on the Arbitrary-Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) approach and the dynamic mesh method (remeshing) in FLUENT. The simulated results are in good agreement with previous experimental studies. This study shows the applicability of the present FSI model to the complicated physics interacting between fluid flow and moving boundary.

$AB_2$ type Zr-based Laves phases alloys have been studied for potential application as a negative electrode in a Ni-MH battery. The $AB_2$-type electrodes have a much higher energy density than $AB_5$-type electrodes per weight, however they have some disadvantages such as poor activation behavior and cycle life etc. Nonetheless, the $AB_2$-type electrodes have been studied very extensively due to their high energy density. In this study, in order to develop the cycle life, the Mn of $AB_2$ alloy composition was substituted partially by Mo. The alloys were melted by arc furnace and remelted 4-5 times for homogeneity. The alloy powder was used below 200-325 mesh for experiments. The structures and phases of the alloys were analyzed by XRD, SEM and EDS, and measured the curve of a pressure-composition isotherms. The electrodes were prepared by cold pressing of the copper-coated(25 wt%) alloy powders, and tested by a half cell. The results are summarized as follows. The cycle life was improved with the increase of Mo amount in $Zr_{1-x}Ti_xV_{0.4}Ni_{1.2}Mn_{0.4}Mo_y$(x=0.3, 0.4) and the activation was faster, whereas the discharge capacity decreased.

전통 감주 제조 중 쌀 콜렛 분말 사용량과 당화시간에 따른 이화학적 특성과 관능검사를 조사하였다. pH는 동일한 당화시간과 동일 시료의 경우 불규칙하게 미미한 변화가 있었으나, 당화에 특별한 지장은 없었다. 점도는 콜렛 분말 비율의 증가 및 당화시간이 경과할수록 미세하게 높아졌으며, 쌀 콜렛 분말:엿기름 추출물에서 쌀 콜렛 분말의 비율이 25% 이상일 때는 그 값이 낮아졌다(p<0.05). 색도는 콜렛 분말이 증가할수록 L값, a값 및 b값은 동일시간에서 높아졌고, ${\Delta}E$값은 낮아졌다. 당화시간이 경과할수록 L값은 5:95는 불규칙하게 약간 높아졌으나, 그 외는 시료와 무관하게 시간이 경과할수록 낮아졌다. a값, b값 및 ${\Delta}E$값은 당화시간이 경과할수록 불규칙하지만 높아지는 경향이었다(p<0.05). 당도는 콜렛 분말의 양이 증가하거나 당화시간이 경과할수록 모든 시료에서 당도가 높아졌다. 5:95-15:85는 14.8-27.6으로 급격히 증가하였고, 15:85 이상에는 완만하게 증가되었다. 환원당은 콜렛분말의 증가 및 당화시간이 경과할수록 모든 시료에서 17.92-20.71 mg/mL로 매우 높게 나타났으며(p<0.05), 지금까지 보고된 어떠한 식혜보다 점도, 당도 및 환원당 함량은 높은 값을 보였다. 유리아미노산은 시료 중 콜렛 분말의 비율이 증가할수록 함량이 증가되는 경향이었으며, 생균수는 실활 시키지 않은 모든 시료에서 균이 검출되었으므로(p<0.05) 반드시 멸균이 필요하였다. 관능검사에서는 시료 25:75, 당화는 5시간일 때 패널의 기호도를 충족하는 것으로 평가되었다(p<0.05).
