Human errors are now considered as the most significant source of accidents or incidents in large-scale systems such as aircraft, vessels, railway, and nuclear power plants. As 61% of the train accidents in Korea railway involving collisions, derailments and fires were caused by human errors, there is a strong need for a systematic research that can help to prevent human errors. Although domestic railway operating companies use a variety of methods for analyzing human errors, there is much room for improvement. Especially, because most of them are based on written papers, there is a definite need for a well-developed computerized system supporting human error analyzing tasks. The purpose of this study is to propose a framework for a computerized human error analysis system focused on the railway industry on the basis of human error analysis mechanism. The proposed framework consists of human error analysis (HEA) module, similar accident tracking (SAT) module, cause factor recommendation (CFR) module, cause factor management (CFM) module, and statistics (ST) module.

Since the nuclear power plants in Korea have been operated in 1979, the nondestructive testing (NDT) of pressure vessels and/or piping welds plays an important role for maintaining the safety and integrity of the plants. Ultrasonic method is superior to the other NDT method in the viewpoint of the detectability of small flaw and accuracy to determine the locations, sizes, orientations, and shapes. As the service time of the nuclear power plants is increased, the radiation level from the components is getting higher. In order to get more quantitative and reliable results and secure the inspector from the exposure to high radiation level, automation of the ultrasonic equipments has been one of the important research and development(R & D) subject. In this research, it was attempted to visualize the shape of flaws presented inside the specimen using a Modified C-Scan technique. In order to develope Modified C-Scan technique, an automatic ultrasonic scanner and a module to control the scanner were designed and fabricated. IBM-PC/XT was interfaced to the module to control the scanner. Analog signals from the SONIC MARK II were digitized by Analog-Digital Converter(ADC 0800) for Modified C-Scan display. A computer program has been developed and has capability of automatic data acquisition and processing from the digital data, which consist of maximum amplitudes in each gate range and locations. The data from Modified C-Scan results was compared with shape from artificial defects using the developed system. Focal length of focused transducer was measured. The automatic ultrasonic equipment developed through this study is essential for more accurate, reliable, and repeatable ultrasonic experiments. If the scanner are modified to meet to appropriate purposes, it can be applied to automation of ultrasonic examination of nuclear power plants and helpful to the research on ultrasonic characterization of the materials.

낮은 광도는 시클라멘($Cyclamen$ $persicum$ Mill.)의 지상부 신장을 촉진하여 분화의 품질을 떨어뜨리는데, 그 정도는 발육단계와 환경요인에 따라 달라지는 것으로 보인다. 저광도에 대한 엽병의 신장 반응 양상을 알아보기 위해, 유년상(전개엽 5-6매), 전이상(화아 1-3개) 및 성년상(화경 신장 중인 화아 1-3개)의 'Metis Scarlet Red' 시클라멘을 선별하여 명기/암기의 온도가 16/12(저온, LT), 22/18(중온, MT), 28/$24^{\circ}C$ (고온, HT)로 유지되는 대형 생장상의 생장 모듈 내에서 생장시켰다. 생장 모듈은 명기 동안 두 가지 광도조건[60(저광, LL), 240(고광, HL) ${\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ PPFD]으로 유지되었다. 실험 I에서는 MT 생장상에서 유년상의 식물체를 LL 또는 HL 모듈에 4주 동안 계속 두거나 처리 1, 2, 3주후 다른 광도의 모듈로 상호 이동시킨 후 신장 반응을 조사하였다. 실험II에서는 MT 생장상에서, 유년상, 전이상, 그리고 성년상의 식물체를 LL 모듈에 넣은 지 0, 3, 6, 9, 12일째에 HL 모듈로 옮기고 21일째에 신장 반응을 조사하였다. 실험 III에서는 LT, MT, HT 생장상에서 전이상의 식물체를 LL 모듈에 넣은 지 0, 3, 6, 9, 12일째에 HL 모듈로 옮기고 21일째에 신장 반응을 조사하였다. LL 노출시간이 0-4주까지 또는 0-12일까지 증가할수록 엽병장과 초장은 모든 온도 조건과 발육단계에서 증가하였다. 4주간 처리된 실험 I에서 후기의 LL 노출이 전기의 노출보다 엽병의 신장속도를 증가시켰다. 실험 II에서, 처리기간 12일 중 초기의 엽병 신장 양상을 보면 전이상 식물체가 유년상이나 성년상보다 LL에 더 민감하게 반응하였다. 실험 III에서, 온도가 증가할수록, 그리고 LL노출시간이 길어질수록 시클라멘의 엽병장은 증가하였다. HT에서의 엽병 신장 속도는 LT와 비교하여 LL처리 초기부터 빠르게 증가하였다. 엽병 신장에 있어서 온도 $6^{\circ}C$ 증가는 3일간 LL 노출과 유사한 효과를 보였다. 결론적으로, 시클라멘은 전이상일 때 고온 하에서 더 즉각적으로 저광도에 반응하여 엽병을 신장시킨다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

A fossil power plant can be modeled by a lot of algebraic equations and differential equations. When we simulate a large, complicated fossil power plant by a computer such as workstation or PC, it takes much time until overall equations are completely calculated. Therefore, new processing systems which have high computing speed is ultimately needed to develope real-time simulators. Vital points of real-time simulators are accuracy, computing speed, and deadline observing. In this paper, we present a enhanced strategy in which we can provide powerful computing power by parallel processing of DSP processors with communication links. We designed general purpose DSP modules, and a VME interface module. Because the DSP module is designed for general purpose, we can easily expand the parallel system by just connecting new DSP modules to the system. Additionally we propose methods about downloading programs, initial data to each DSP module via VME bus, DPRAM and processing sequences about computing and updating values between DSP modules and CPU30 board when the simulator is working.

The worldwide CPV(Concentrated Photo Voltaic) market has been increased rapidly due to the increase in large-scale PV(Photo Voltaic) plants which are situated in sun-rich areas with either a Mediterranean or equatorial-type climate. CPV systems are arguably some of the most important devices in the production of electricity within regions with a sun-rich climate, particularly those which benefit from abundant direct solar irradiation. We have developed a 500X CPV module with rated power of 170Wp. The CPV module must satisfy the constraint of having a sensitive tracking accuracy due to the limited tolerance of the acceptance angle in intrinsic optical design. In this study, the module's acceptance angle used was designed with a tolerance angle of ${\pm}1^{\circ}$ in the secondary optics design. In general, non-concentrated module type 2-axis trackers have a tolerance angle larger than ${\pm}1^{\circ}$ due to standard silicon-type modules which are insensitive to the tracking accuracy of the sun. They have a tolerance angle of ${\pm}2{\sim}4^{\circ}$, which fails to exert a significant influence on the performance of the module. This paper provides a study of an experimental variation of the efficiency of the CPV module in terms of its tracking accuracy. Also, the performance of the module is studied from the perspective of temperature and direct irradiation.

With the development of information technology, the cybersecurity threat continues as digital-related technologies are applied to the instrumentation and control system of nuclear power plants. The malfunction of the instrumentation and control system can cause economic damage due to shutdown, and furthermore, it can lead to national disasters such as radioactive emissions, so countering cybersecurity threats is an important issue. In general, the study of cybersecurity in instrumentation and control systems is concentrated on safety systems, and diverse protection systems perform protection and reactor shutdown functions, leading to reactor shutdown or, in the worst case, non-stop situations. To accurately analyze cyber threats in the diverse protection system, its linked facilities should be analyzed together. Risk analysis should be conducted by analyzing the potential impact of inter-facility cyberattacks on related facilities and the impact of cybersecurity on each configuration module of the diverse protection system. In this paper, we analyze the linkage of the diverse protection system and discuss the cybersecurity linkage threat by analyzing the availability of equipment, the cyber threat impact of the linked equipment, and the configuration module's cybersecurity vulnerability.

To create an environment for growing ginseng sprouts, we developed a solar module that partially transmits and disperses light. A G to G type light transmission and dispersion solar module was developed using glass with a mist pattern applied, and the light dispersion effect of the developed module was confirmed through illuminance measurement. The output of one module is approximately 260 W, and the configuration consists of 48 cells in series in 4 strings. The cultivation system where the developed module will be installed was developed in the form of a container, and three units of 2.6 kW (260 W x 10 EA). The inside of the cultivation system consists of a shading screen, air conditioner, ventilator, plastic pot, etc. to create an environment for cultivating sprout ginseng. As a result of actually planting sprout ginseng, it was confirmed through verification that the plants were grown without any problems.
