The non-uniform distribution of contamination on insulator surface has appreciable effects on flashover voltage, and corresponding researches are valuable for the better selection of outdoor insulation. In this paper, two typical types of porcelain and glass insulators which are widely used in ac lines were taken as the research subjects, and their corrections of AC flashover voltage under non-uniform pollution were studied. Besides, their flashover characteristics under different ratio (T/B) of top to bottom surface salt deposit density (SDD) were investigated, including the analysis of flashover voltage, surface pollution layer conductivity and critical leakage current. Test results gave the modified formulas for predicting flashover voltage of the two samples, which can be directly applied in the transmission line design. Also, the analysis delivered that, the basic reason why the flashover voltage increases with the decrease of T/B, is due to the decrease of equivalent surface conductivity of the whole surface and the decrease of critical leakage current. This research will be of certain value in providing references for outdoor insulation selection, as well as in proposing more information for revealing pollution flashover mechanism.

One of the most widely used methods to estimate core damage during a nuclear power plant accident is containment radiation measurement. The evolution of severe accidents is extremely complex, leading to uncertainty in the containment dose rate (CDR). Therefore, it is difficult to accurately determine core damage. This study proposes to conduct uncertainty analysis of CDR for core damage assessment. First, based on source term estimation, the Monte Carlo (MC) and point-kernel integration methods were used to estimate the probability density function of the CDR under different extents of core damage in accident scenarios with late containment failure. Second, the results were verified by comparing the results of both methods. The point-kernel integration method results were more dispersed than the MC results, and the MC method was used for both quantitative and qualitative analyses. Quantitative analysis indicated a linear relationship, rather than the expected proportional relationship, between the CDR and core damage fraction. The CDR distribution obeyed a logarithmic normal distribution in accidents with a small break in containment, but not in accidents with a large break in containment. A possible application of our analysis is a real-time core damage estimation program based on the CDR.

In this present paper, a new two dimensional (2D) and quasi three dimensional (quasi-3D) nonlocal shear deformation theories are formulated for free vibration analysis of size-dependent functionally graded (FG) nanoplates. The developed theories is based on new description of displacement field which includes undetermined integral terms, the issues in using this new proposition are to reduce the number of unknowns and governing equations and exploring the effects of both thickness stretching and size-dependency on free vibration analysis of functionally graded (FG) nanoplates. The nonlocal elasticity theory of Eringen is adopted to study the size effects of FG nanoplates. Governing equations are derived from Hamilton's principle. By using Navier's method, analytical solutions for free vibration analysis are obtained through the results of eigenvalue problem. Several numerical examples are presented and compared with those predicted by other theories, to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of developed theories and to investigate the size effects on predicting fundamental frequencies of size-dependent functionally graded (FG) nanoplates.

The wall friction correlations of oscillatory natural circulation loops are highly loop-specific, making it difficult to perform 1-D system simulations before obtaining specific experimental data. To better predict the friction characteristics, the nonlinear dynamics of a toroidal single-phase natural circulation loop were numerically investigated, and the transition effect was considered. The k-k_L-ω transitional turbulence and k-ω SST turbulence models were used to compute the flow characteristics of the loop under different heating powers varying from 0.48 to 1.0 W/cm², and the results of both models were compared with previous experiments. The mass flow rates and friction factors predicted by the k-k_L-ω model showed a better agreement with the experimental data than the results of the k-ω SST model. The oscillation frequencies calculated using both models agreed well with the experimental data. The k-k_L-ω transitional turbulence model provided better friction-factor predictions in oscillatory natural circulation loops because it can reproduce the temporal and spatial variation of the wall shear stress more accurately by capturing the movement of laminar, transition turbulent zones inside unstable natural circulation loops. This study shows that transition effects are a possible explanation for the highly loop-specific friction correlations observed in various oscillatory natural circulation loops.

This study aims to identify factors affecting the acceptance intention of cultivating a new Italian ryegrass(IRG) variety using partial least square structural equation modeling(PLS-SEM) and find priority to maximize the acceptance intention of new IRG variety using importance-performance matrix analysis(IPMA). The data were collected on a seven-point Likert-type from 188 farm households located in Korea central region for two months. As a major result of PLS-SEM, expected effect significantly affected acceptance intention. The IPMA also showed expected effect should be considered as the most important factor to improve the acceptance intention. This study suggested the new technology distributors should scientifically prove and actively promote the effects such as increase in farm income, productivity improvement, labor saving and management efficiency caused by planting new IRG variety.

In this study, a new method to develop a fixed diamond wire for silicon wafer machining by the multi-wire cutting method was developed. The new twist diamond wire has improved performance with high breaking strength and chip flutes structure. According to these characteristics, the new twist diamond wire can be used in the higher speed multi-wire cutting process with a long lifetime. Except the design of the new structure, the twist diamond wire is coating by electroless-electroplating process. It is good for reducing breakage and the falling-off of diamond grains. Based on the silicon material removal mechanism and performance of the wire-cutting machine, the optimal processing condition of the new twist diamond wire has been derived via mathematical analysis. At last, through the tensile testing and the machining experiments, the performance of the twist diamond wire has been obtained to achieve the development goals and exceed the single diamond wire.

We have synthesized new hole transport materials(HTMs). Then we have fabricated structures of ITO/new HTM/$Alq_{3}$/EIL/Al. New HTM based devices have higher current density and lower turn-on voltage than TPD based devices. New HTMs have higher HOMO level than TPD. The new HTM based OLEDs have shown better current injection than the TPD based OLEDs, due to the lower injection barrier between ITO surface and HTM.

Although new plant breeding technologies facilitate efficient plant breeding without introducing a transgene, they are creating indistinct boundaries in the regulation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The rapid advancement in plant breeding by genome-editing requires the establishment of a new global policy for the new biotechnology, while filling the gap between process-based and product-based GMO in terms of regulations. In this study recent developments in producing major crops using new plant breeding technologies were reviewed, and a regulatory model that takes into account the various methodologies to achieve genetic modifications as well as the resulting types of mutation were proposed. Moreover, the communication process were discussed in order to understand consumers' current situation and problems of new plant breeding technology, establish social acceptance well, and understand consumers' disputes such as GMO crops.
