This paper proposes a real-time 3D visualization system for situational awareness of Air force operations. This 3D system of situational awareness supports a high-level commander of Air force during the war game operations. These situation aware supporting data such as the aircraft track data of radar, aircraft schedule database, map and satellite image data are integrated into one structured data and those are visualized as 3D structure. By using an Out-of-Core method, we can visualize a 3D huge data in real-time in mobile notebook environment. The experiment shows several examples of 3D visualization supporting situation awareness for Air force operation.

Radioactive nuclides deposited on out-of-core surface after the radiation in the core by the transport of corrosion products (CRUD) through the primary coolant system in PWR which is the major plant type in Korea, are leading sources of radiation exposure to plant maintenance personnel. Thus, the optimal chemistry operation method is required for the reduction of radiation exposure by the corrosion products. This study analysed the actual water chemistry operation data of four operating domestic PWRs. And in order to evaluate the coolant chemistry operation data, a computer code which can calculate the activity buildup in the various chemistry conditions of PWR coolant was employed. Through the analysis of comparison between the activity buildup of actual water chemistry operation mode and that of assumed Elevated Li operation mode calculated by the computer code, it was found that the out-of core radioactivity can be reduced by diminishing the deposition of corrosion products on the core in case that the Elevated Li operation mode is applied to the coolant chemistry operation of PWR. And the higher coolant pH operation was shown to have the advantage of the reduction of out-of-core activity buildup if the integrity of system structural materials and fuel cladding is guaranteed.

To solve the large problems with limited core memory of computer, a disk management scheme called virtual memory database has been developed. Utilizing this technique along with memory moving scheme, an efficient in-and out-of-core column solver for the sparse symmetric matrix commonly arising in the finite element analysis is developed. Compared with other methods the algorithm is simple, therefore the coding and computational efficiencies are greatly enhanced. Analysis example shows that the proposed method efficiently solve the large structural problem on the small-memory micro-computer.

This paper discusses the multifrontal direct solution method with out of core storage for large scale structural analysis in a limited computing resource. Large scale structural analysis requires huge amount of memory space and computation, so out of core solution method is needed in limited computing resource. In this research, out of core multifrontal solution algorithm which utilize the small size of physical memory and minimize the amount of access of low speed out of core storage is introduced. Three ideas, which are stack space in lower trianglar part of square factorization matrix, inverse stack data structure and selective data caching and recovery by data block size, are proposed.

Since large terrain data can not be loaded on the GPU or CPU memory at once, out-of-core methods which read necessary part from the secondary storage such as a hard disk are commonly used. However, long delay may occur due to limited bandwidth while loading the data from the hard disk to memory. We propose efficient rendering method of large terrain data, which compresses the data with wavelet technique and save its coefficients in RGBA channel of an image us, then decompresses that in rendering stage. Entire process is performed in GPU using Direct Compute. By reducing the amount of data transfer, performing wavelet computations in parallel and doing decompression quickly on the GPU, our method can reduce rendering time effectively.

Cycle length of domestic nuclear power plants is determined by the demand-supply plan of utility company. The target cycle length is achieved by adjusting the number of feed fuel assembly and fuel enrichment. Traditionally, utility company first select the number of feed fuel assembly and then find out the fuel enrichment to achieve the special cycle length. But it is difficult to find out if this method is most economical than any other combinations of the enrichment and batch size satisfying the same cycle length. In this paper, core depletion calculation is performed to find out the optimum combination of the enrichment and batch size for given target cycle length in terms of fuel cycle cost using commercial core design code; CASMO/MASTER code. To minimize the uncertainty resulting from transition core analysis, levelized fuel cycle cost analysis was applied to the equilibrium cycle core in order to determine the optimum combination. The sensitivity study of discount rate was also carried out to analyze the levelized fuel cycle cost applicable to countries with different discount rates. From the levelized fuel cycle cost analysis results, the combination with smaller batch size and higher fuel enrichment becomes more economical as the discount rate becomes lower. On the other hand, the combination with higher batch size and lower fuel enrichment becomes more economical as the discount rate becomes higher.

The multi-group diffusion theory is applied to the analysis of the currently constructing Kori reactor core which is to be refuelled by 3-region fuel loading pattern and also to the comparative study on a conceptually designed 5-region reactor core, under the condition that, apart from the thermal-hydraulic considerations, all the input data referred to here in are assumed to be identical for both cases. The numerical calculation is carried out for quantitative analysis of the characteristics of the two fuel loading patterns in details, and the calculated results show that, so far as the nuclear aspects are concerned, the characteristics of the 5-region reactor core are proved to be superior to those of Kori's 3-region reactor core in general.

One of the most important decision making is which product's components should make in-house and which should they outsource. This paper suggests a framework to solve above question. This paper applies to LCD TV industry with AHP analysis. The results shows that Scaler chip, LCD panel, MPEG decoder, and Video decoder are important components. Samsung Electronics turn out make in-house these core component. This research will be a good guideline for selecting core component.

For the purpose of building domain ontology, this paper proposes a methodology for building core ontology first, and then enriching the core ontology with the concepts and relations in the domain thesaurus. First, the top-level concept taxonomy of the core ontology is built using domain dictionary and general domain thesaurus. Then, the concepts of the domain thesaurus are classified into top-level concepts in the core ontology, and relations between broader terms (BT) - narrower terms (NT) and related terms (RT) are classified into semantic relations defined for the core ontology. To classify concepts, a two-step approach is adopted, in which a frequency-based approach is complemented with a similarity-based approach. To classify relations, two techniques are applied: (i) for the case of insufficient training data, a rule-based module is for identifying isa relation out of non-isa ones; a pattern-based approach is for classifying non-taxonomic semantic relations from non-isa. (ii) For the case of sufficient training data, a maximum-entropy model is adopted in the feature-based classification, where k-NN approach is for noisy filtering of training data. A series of experiments show that performances of the proposed systems are quite promising and comparable to judgments by human experts.

This study was carried out to evaluate the feasibility of using HDF as surface panels as well as core materials for flush door manufacturing. Six core constructions were developed and applied to manufacture door specimens and conventional skin door specimen was also manufactured for comparison. Door specimens were tested under changing interior environmental condition for 3~4 months during winter and summer seasons. During the test period, deformation of doors were measured weekly, and temperature and relative humidity of testing area were also recorded. From this study, it was concluded that HDF can be used to manufacture quality flush doors and core construction developed in this study showed good quality compared to conventional skin door. Deformation of doors increased as temperature and relative humidity of the surrounding environment increased. Flush doors generally showed less deformation than skin doors, and evaluated to be stable and good quality when compared to skin door.
