New methodology for mass and energy release assessment in LBLOCA post blowdown is needed and, first of all, the phenomenologically improved and quantitative assessments through experiment are essential. For tile experiment of a hot leg break LBLOCA in post blowdown, the test facility was set and its feature is that tile broken hot leg has two broken sections in the tore side and in the SG side respectively and a separation valve between the two in order to measure the release rate dividedly. Specially it was focused on whether the mass release through the SG side broken section happened or not. The mass release through the core side broken section is dependent on tile safety injection flow and that through the SG side broken section varies depending on several factors. The principal factor is the primary system pressure and the subfactors such as SI flow rate, SI temperature and initial primary pressure, may contribute, too.

Microstructure of hypereutectic Al-17wt.% Si alloy, fabricated by mechanical stirring and by reheating at semi-solid state, was investigated by optical microscope. Flow behavior semi-solid metal also was investigated at diffentent mould temperatures 280$^{\circ}C$, 290$^{\circ}C$ and 300$^{\circ}C$. Size of silicon particles were increased over 100$\mu\textrm{m}$ during solidification as a result of stirring. It is considered as microstructural coarsening by bonding between neighbouring primary silion particles during stirring of slurry. In case of reheating at semi-solid state, however, primary silicon particle was not increased at size of 40$\mu\textrm{m}$ and nearly spherical aluminum solde particle also could be obtained uniformly in distribution. The fludity of Al-17wt.% Si alloys at semi-solid state was improved when solid fraction was 0.7 at mould temperature of 300$^{\circ}C$ than other conditions.

A current interest in chemistry concerns traceability of analytical measurements to the International System of Units (SI) and the proper estimation of their uncertainties in accordance with the internationally agreed guide provided by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) is regarded as a primary method, which make the measurement results traceable to SI units without significant empirical correction factors. Our laboratory, as the national standards institute of Korea, participated in an intercomparison of environmental analysis, pp'-DDE in corn oil, which was organized by the CCQM under supervision of the CIPM to test feasibility of IDMS as a primary method for the trace analysis of organic compounds. In this report, we provide basic equations used for the calculation of the concentration of the analyte in a sample and a precise description of the processes for the evaluation of the uncertainties of the measurement results. Also, we report the experimental conditions adopted to improve the accuracy of the IDMS measurement. The principles contained in ？？Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement'' provided by ISO are followed for the uncertainty evaluation.

본 연구에서는 기존 고압주조법의 해결과제인 고속충진 시 혼입되는 금형 cavity 내부의 유해 gas에 의한 gas porosity를 제어하기 위한 고속 사출 전 진공시스템 설계와 응고과정에서 발생되는 응고수축에 의한 shrinkage를 효과적으로 제어하기 위한 국부가압 스퀴즈의 조합시스템의 설계로 최적의 기계적 성질을 갖는 부품을 제조할 수 있는 공법을 개발하였다. 또한 개발된 신공법으로 자동차용 고내마모성 요구부품인 Reaction Shaft Support에 기존의 주철제를 대체하는 Al-15wt.%Si 과공정합금을 적용하여 시제품을 제조하였으며, 기존의 공법과 비교한 결과, 내부 porosity가 없는 미세하고 균일한 공정 및 초정 Si의 미세조직을 얻을 수 있었고, 기계적 특성평가에서도 매우 우수한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

The high temperature deformation of mechanically alloyed Al-Ti-Si alloy (Al-9.64wt% Ti-1.56wt% Si) was investigated by performing constant load compression creep tests over the temperature range of $673^\circC$K to $723^\circC$K. From the calculation based on the modified power law creep equation for dispersion strengthened alloy, the true creep activation energy, was 176kJ/mole, the true stress exponent was 4.9. Considering the value of activation energy, stress exponent, the shape of primary creep region, it could be concluded that creep deformation in the MA Al-Ti-Si alloy is controlled by dislocation climb.

A plasma has been used in a high vaccum, cold wall reactor for low temperature deposition of C54 TiSi2 and for in-situ surface cleaning prior to silicide deposition. SiH4 and TiCl4 were used as the silicon and titanium sources, respectively. The deposited films had low resistivities in the range of 15~25 uohm-cm. The investigation of the experimental variables' effects on the growth of silicide and its concomitant silicon consumption revealed that and were the dominant species for silicide formation and the primary factors in silicon consumption were gas composition ratio and temperature. Increasing silane flow rate from 6 to 9 sccm decreased silicon consumption from 1500 A/min to less than 30 A/min. Furthermore, decreasing the temperature from 650 to $590^{\circ}C$ achieved blanket silicide deposition with no silicon consumption. A kinetic model of silicon consumption is proposed to understand the fundamental mechanism responsible for the dependence of silicon consumption on SiH4 flow rate.

Silicon PIN diode radiation sensors and CMOS readout circuits were designed and fabricated in this study. The PIN diodes were fabricated using a 380-${\mu}m$-thick 4-inch n+ Si (111) wafer containing a $2-k{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ n- thin epitaxial layer. CMOS readout circuits employed the driving and signal processes in a radiation sensor were mixed with digital logic and analog input circuits. The primary functions of readout circuits are amplification of sensor signals and the generation of the alarm signals when radiation events occur. The radiation sensors and CMOS readout circuits were fabricated in the Institute of Semiconductor Fusion Technology (ISFT) semiconductor fabrication facilities located in Kyungpook National University. The performance of the readout circuit combined with the Si PIN diode sensor was demonstrated.

The wear resistance of Hyper-eutectic Al-Si alloy, have recently been noticed as a new automobile material, was investigated. For the purpose of developing wear resistant Al-Si alloy, some factors which attribute to wear resistance are examined as follows; refinement of primary Si particle during solidification, and effect of refinement on wear resistance and other mechanical properties. The most effective refinement was accomplished by adding both NaF and S, and this improve wear-resistance in abrasive wear type. The wear losses of specimens cast in metal mold were ruduced to 80% of those in sand mold. T6 heat treatment increases hardness, which resulted in reduction of wear loss about $3{\sim}18%$.

This study produced hypereutectic Al-Si clad layer on 1050 Al alloy by a novel laser cladding method. Pure Si powder was mixed with organic binder to make fluid paste which could be screen-printed on the 1050 Al alloy plate. Pulsed Nd:YAG laser was irradiated on the Si paste layer to melt and alloy with Al substrate. Different laser power of 99 W, 179 W and 261 W, was used to see the difference of the microstructure, composition and hardness of the clad layers. When laser power of 179 W was used, the clad layer had overall Si content of 38wt% and composed of fine primary Si particles and fine eutectic phase. At laser power of 261 W, the clad layer had overall Si content of 24wt% and composed of mainly fine eutectic phase. Vickers hardness of HV176.7 and HV150.3 on the clad layer was obtained at laser power of 179 W and 261 W, respectively.

Single unit responses of the ventral posterior medial (VPM) thalamic neurons to stimulation were monitored in anesthetized rats during activation of contralateral primary somatosensory (SI) cortex by GABA antagonist. The temporal changes of afferent sensory transmission were quantitatively analyzed by poststimulus time histogram (PSTH). Mainly, afferent sensory transmission to VPM thalamus was facilitated (15 neurons of total 23) by GABA antagonist (bicuculline) applied to contralateral cortex, while 7 neurons were suppressed. However, when ipsilateral cortex was inactivated by GABA agonist, musimol, there was significant suppression of afferent sensory transmission of VPM thalamus. This suppressed responsiveness by ipsilateral musimol was not affected by bicuculline applied to contralateral cortex. These results suggest that afferent transmission to VPM thalamus may be subjected to the interhemispheric modulation via ipsilateral cortex during inactivation of GABAergic neurons in contralateral SI cortex.
