Nuclear fuel, including its fresh state, must be handled safely due to its critical and hazardous nature. Under normal transport conditions, several interactions take place among different components, such as transport cask used for loading the nuclear fuel and tie-down structure to attach with the vehicle. To ensure structural integrity of the nuclear fuel, vibrations and impacts transmitted from the vehicle must be sufficiently reduced. Therefore, in this study, we conducted two transportation tests from Daejeon to Kijang in Korea to verify the vehicle-induced vibrational characteristics of the KJRR-F fresh nuclear fuel when transported under normal transport conditions. The speed and location of the vehicle were obtained via GPS, and the accelerations between the vehicle and the KJRR-F fresh nuclear fuel were measured. Additionally, using the acceleration results, a structural analysis was conducted to confirm the structural integrity of the nuclear fuel under the most severe conditions during normal transport.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of auditory cues in the form of a metronome on gait initiation (GI) in Parkinson's disease (PD). 2 patients (mean age: 54 yrs) with idiopathic PD participated in the study. All patients (Hoehn and Yahr disability score of 2.0) were tested in the "on" state approximately 1.5 hours following the administration and fully responding to their PD medications. Subjects first initiated walking at self-initiated speeds to determine their cadences. Then, subjects were asked to initiate gait along the walkway while keeping pace with a metronome. The metronome rate (in beats/min) was set at a cadence 85% (slow condition), 100% (normal condition) and 115% (fast condition) of gait for each subject. Subjects were able to increase the speed of GI with faster cadence, but the speed of GI for the slow condition was similar to that of the normal condition. Swing toe-off was 578.3 ms for the fast condition, 709.4 ms for the normal condition and 736.2 ms for the slow condition. Respective times for swing heel-strike were 894.3 ms, 1110.2 ms and 1119.1 ms, and stance toe-off were 1105.4 ms, 1338.5 ms, and 1343.1 ms. Except for stance unloading ground reaction forces were greatest for the fast condition and smallest for the slow condition. It appears that PD patients were able to modulate GRFs and temporal events in response to auditory cues to achieve the peak acceleration force of the swing and stance limb. The findings from this study provided preliminary data, which could be used to investigate how PD patients modulate GRFs and temporal events during GI in response to tasks.

본 연구는 교사와 일반인을 대상으로 그들의 음성과 청각 조건 ( 소음, 음악 )에서의 음성 파라미터들을 비교 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 교사는 일반인의 음성 보다 높은 주파수 변동률(%)과 진폭 변동률(%)을 보여 정상 음성에 비해 높이와 강도에 변화가 큰 것을 알 수 있었다. 청각 조건에 따른 결과를 살펴보면, 교사의 음성 파라미터는 청각 조건이 주어지지 않은 일반 음성에 비해 소음 환경에서 높은 기본 주파수 (Hz)를 나타내었고 소음과 음악 환경간에는 그 차이를 발견할 수 없었다. 일반인의 음성 파라미터 청각 조건이 주어지지 않은 일반 음성에 비해 소음 환경에서 높은 기본 주파수를 나타내었으며 음악과 소음 환경간에도 기본 주파수의 차이를 나타내었다.

In this study, characteristics of gaseous pollutants and particulate matter were investigated on the condition of DPF regeneration and normal DPF condition. THC, CO, $CO_2$, NOx, and $CH_4$ were analyzed by MEXA-7200H and CVS-7100 respectively. Particulate Matter (PM) was measured by difference in weight of Membrane filter. Particle Number (PN) was measured by CPC analyzer. And Sulfate, Nitrate, Organic were measured by Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (AMS). As a result, gaseous pollutants and particulate matter were detected in higher concentration during DPF regeneration than normal DPF condition. And the PN increased by 94%, the fuel consumption was reduced by 29% on DPF generation process. Sulfate, Nitrate and Organic were undetectable level during normal DPF condition. But the highest concentration of Sulfate, Nitrate and Organic were measured as $100{\mu}g/m^3$, $20{\mu}g/m^3$ and $15{\mu}g/m^3$ respectively on DPF regeneration condition. VOCs concentrations (Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, Xylene) were analyzed by using PTR-MS. Benzene and Toluene emission have little or no change depending on DPF regeneration. But the Ethylbenzene and Xylene have comparatively low emissions on DPF regeneration.

Model based machine condition diagnosis methods are generally using a normal and many failure models which need sufficient data to train the models. However, data, especially for failure modes of interest, is very hard to get in real applications. So their industrial applications are either severely limited or impossible when the failure models cannot be trained. In this paper, continuous hidden Markov model(CHMM) with only a normal model has been suggested as a very promising machine condition diagnosis method which can be easily used for industrial applications. Generally hidden Markov model also uses many pattern models to recognize specific patterns and the recognition results of CHMM show the likelihood trend of models. By observing this likelihood trend of a normal model, it is possible to detect failures. This method has been successively applied to arc weld defect diagnosis. The result shows CHMM's big potential as a machine condition monitoring method.

본 연구에서는 거칠기와 수직응력이 절리면의 전단거동에 미치는 영향을 검토하기 위하여 30개의 자연암반 절리 시료를 대상으로 실험을 실시하였다. 3차원 레이저 거칠기 측정장치를 이용하여 절리면의 거칠기 정보를 측정하였으며, 시료들의 거칠기에 따라 10개씩 세 가지 그룹으로 분류하였다. 다음으로 수직응력을 다섯 단계로 변화시켜가며 전단실험을 실시함으로써 최대전단강도, 잔류전단강도, 전단강성, 팽창특성 등을 조사하였다. 절리면의 거칠기가 증가함에 따라 최대전단강도는 증가하였으며, 거칠기가 최대전단강도에 미치는 영향은 수직응력이 작은 경우에 더욱 크게 나타났다. 또한 절리면의 거칠기가 증가할수록 잔류전단강도도 점차 증가하였다. 전단강성은 거칠기 및 수직응력이 커짐에 따라 증가하는 것으로 나타났으나, 팽창각은 수직응력이 증가할수록 감소하였고, 동일한 수직응력하에서는 절리면의 거칠기가 커질수록 증가하였다.

Purpose: This study was aimed to compare the effect between wet gauze with cold normal saline and wet gauze with cold water on thirst, oral cavity condition, and saliva pH among postoperative patients. Methods: This study was a quasi-experimental study with 56 participants. The experimental group received wet gauze with cold normal saline, and control group received wet gauze with cold water for three times at 15 minute intervals. Data were collected using visual analog scale for thirst, oral assessment guide for oral cavity condition and acidity tape for saliva pH. Measurement were made before applying the gauze and at 15min, 30min, and 45min after applying gauze. Data were analyzed using repeated measured ANOVA. Results: Thirst, oral cavity condition, and saliva pH improved in both groups with increasing number of gauze application. Thirst for the experimental group improved more than for the control group (F=4.29, p=.009), oral cavity condition except saliva, and saliva pH were not significantly different between the groups. Conclusion: This study results indicated that nurses can apply wet gauze with cold normal saline to reduce thirst and saliva acidity, and to improve the oral cavity condition for postoperative patients.

AlN 단결정의 특별한 용도로 이를 개발하기 위한 노력이 전 세계적으로 매우 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 AlN을 기반으로 하는 자외선 LED는 생활, 의학, 자동자 등에 유용한 용도로서 살균, 정화, 경화 및 분석 등 분야에 이용된다. 이에 실험을 통해 PVT법으로 카본 도가니를 사용하여 AlN 단결정을 성장시켰으며 실험 중 3가지 형태의 도가니를 이용하여 성장에 미치는 영향을 분석하였으며, 그 온도 조건은 $1900{\sim}2100^{\circ}C$이고 실험 압력으로는 1~200 Torr였다. 그 결과, 높이가 높은 형태의 도가니를 사용할 경우 증발량은 기준 형태보다 증가 하는데 그쳤다. 반면, 넓은 형태의 도가니는 더욱 많은 증발양의 증가를 보였으며, 기준 형태에 비하여 훨씬 안정하다는 것을 알았다. 또한, 제한된 크기의 도가니를 이용한 PVT법에서의 도가니 형태의 변화에 따른 결과는 성장률에 따른 최적 조건, 성장 결정의 품질변화 및 성장 조건 안정성에 영향을 주는 것을 알았다.

Spent nuclear fuel generated at nuclear power plants must be safely stored during interim storage periods. A dry storage cask to safely store the spent nuclear fuel should be able to adequately emit the decay heat from the spent nuclear fuel. Therefore, heat removal tests using a half scale dry storage cask have been performed to estimate the heat transfer characteristics of a dry storage cask under normal, off-normal, and accident conditions. In the normal condition, the heat transfer rate to an ambient atmosphere by convective air through a passive heat removal system reached 83%. Accordingly, the passive heat removal system is designed well and works adequately. In the off-normal condition, the influence of a half blockage in the inlet on the temperature appears minimal. In the accident condition, the temperature rose for 12 hours after the accident, but the temperature rise steadied after 36 hours.
