During a hypothetical core-disruptive accident (CDA) in a sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR), degraded core materials can form roughly conically-shaped debris beds over the core-support structure and/or in the lower inlet plenum of the reactor vessel from rapid quenching and fragmentation of the core material pool. However, coolant boiling may ultimately lead to leveling of the debris bed, which is crucial to the relocation of the molten core and heat-removal capability of the debris bed. To clarify the mechanisms underlying this self-leveling behavior, a large number of experiments were performed within a variety of conditions in recent years, under the constructive collaboration between the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) and Kyushu University (Japan). The present contribution synthesizes and gives detailed comparative analyses of those experiments. Effects of various experimental parameters that may have potential influence on the leveling process, such as boiling mode, particle size, particle density, particle shape, bubbling rate, water depth and column geometry, were investigated, thus giving a large palette of favorable data for the better understanding of CDAs, and improved verifications of computer models developed in advanced fast reactor safety analysis codes.

Background: The Environmental Health Action Program was a national project carried out from 2012~2021. It was aimed at developing public technologies to protect people's health from various environmental hazards. Objectives: One of the final goals of the project was "creating health benefits worth more than 179.2 billion won by reducing the environmental burden of disease." This study aims to evaluate whether the program sufficiently achieved the planned benefits. Methods: In order to secure consistency in evaluation, we applied the same equation used in the goal-setting process. It is comprised of six parameters to estimate the benefit: 1. The amount of medical expenses for environmental diseases; 2. The attributable proportion of environmental risk factors' 3. The rate of reduction in medical expenses for environmental diseases; 4. R&D project contribution; 5. The proportion of successful policy reflection; and 6. The contributions of the project. The corresponding variables were estimated at the end of the project, and the health benefits of the project were recalculated using the newly estimated variables. Results: It was estimated that a total of 195 billion won in health benefits occurred or will occur from 2015 to 2026. The main contributors for achieving the target were an increase in medical expenses for environmental diseases, a high score in the R&D project contribution, and the proportion of successful policy reflection. Conclusions: Technically, the equation used in the project is about medical expenses for environmental diseases rather than about the environmental burden of disease. There are several benefits of using the environmental burden of disease in the evaluation of public health policies. In further studies, developing a policy evaluation framework using indicators such as population attributable fraction would be needed.

We selected 47 DOGs at z ~ 1.5 using optical R (or r'), AKARI $18{\mu}m$, and $24{\mu}m$ color in the AKARI North Ecliptic Pole (NEP) Deep survey field. Using the colors among 3, 4, 7, and 9µm, we classified them into 3 groups; bump DOGs (23 sources), power-law DOGs (16 sources), and unknown DOGs (8 sources). We built spectral energy distributions (SEDs) with optical to far-infrared photometric data and investigated their properties using SED fitting method. We found that AGN activity such as a AGN contribution to the infrared luminosity and a Chandra detection rate for bump and power-law DOGs are significantly different, while stellar component properties like a stellar mass and a star-formation rate are similar to each other. A specific star-formation rate range of power-law DOGs is slightly higher than that of bump DOGs with wide overlap. Herschel/PACS detection rates are almost the same between bump and power-law DOGs. On the other hand SPIRE detection rates show large differences between bump and power-law DOGs. These results might be explained by differences in dust temperatures. Both groups of DOGs host hot and/or warm dust (~ 50 Kelvin), and many bump DOGs contain cooler dust (${\leq}30$ Kelvin).

The experimental results of exposing IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) samples to gamma radiation source show shifting of threshold voltages in the MOSFET and degradation of carrier mobility and current gains. At low total dose rate, the shift of threshold voltage is the major contribution of current increases, but for more than some total dose, the current is increased because of the current gain degradation occurred in the vertical PNP at the output of the IGBTs. In the paper, the collector current characteristics as a function of gate emitter voltage (VGE) curves are tested and analyzed with the model considering the radiation damage on the devices for gate bias and different dose. In addition, the model parameters between simulations and experiments are found and studied.

1960~1970년대 창업했던 경영 1세대들이 평생을 바쳐 일군 기업을 다음세대에 승계해야 하는 중요한 시기를 맞이하여 가업 승계에 대한 고민이 증가하고 있는 상황이다. 가업승계 대상을 선정하는 과정에서 가족이나 내부직원에게 가업을 승계하는 형태, 매각 또는 외부 전문가 영입 등 다양한 승계형태를 고려하는 것이 필요하다. 해외에서는 가족기업의 가업승계에 대한 중요성을 인식하고 가업승계에 미치는 영향요인, 가업승계의 특성, 유형 등 다각화된 연구를 진행하고 그 결과를 바탕으로 관련 정책 개발 및 가업승계 지원에 활용하고 있다. 하지만, 국내에서는 아직까지 가족기업의 가업승계와 관련된 연구가 많이 이루어지지 않았고, 일반적인 기업승계 형태에 대한 연구가 주를 이루고 있다. 국내 경제에서 차지하는 비중 및 영향력을 감안하였을 때, 가족기업에 대한 체계적인 연구를 통해 가족기업의 가업승계에 대한 이슈를 해결해 줄 수 있는 가이드라인 및 정책개발이 필요한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 국내 가족기업의 가업승계에 대한 현황을 파악하기 위해 국내 540개 중소가족기업체 자료를 이용하여 Gomez-Mejia와 동료들(2007)이 주장하는 행동대리 이론(Behavioral Agency Theory)관점에서 사회 정서적 가치(SEW) 5영역을 중심으로 가족기업의 주요한 특성이 승계유형에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 실증분석 결과, 비 재무적 특성인 기업업력, 사회 공헌의 변수는 가족승계 > 내부승계 > 외부승계 순서로, 지식자산은 내부승계 > 가족승계 > 외부승계 순서로, 가족의 경영참여는 가족승계 > 외부승계 순서로 승계유형 선택에 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 사회 공헌 특성이 승계유형 선택에 가장 많은 영향을 미쳤다. 재무적인 요인인 경영성과나 R&D 투자 변수는 승계 유형 선택에 유의한 영향을 미치지 못하였다. 연립경영의 경우 가족승계 확률이 높았고, 연립경영은 R&D 투자, 사회공헌, 기업업력 변수가 가족기업으로 선택하는 것을 강화하는 조절효과가 있었다. 본 연구에서 사용된 행동대리인 이론이 가업승계에 설명력이 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 가족기업은 사회 정서적 가치(SEW)를 유지하려는 성향이 크며, 일반적인 상장 대기업의 경우와는 달리 중소가족기업에서는 성과 등 재무적인 요인이 아니라 오랜 업력을 바탕으로 축적된 노하우, 사회 공헌 등 비재무적인 요인이 승계에 많은 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 기업가의 가업승계에 실무적인 도움이 될 것으로 기대하며, 정부의 정책 개발에 가이드라인을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

내륙습지에서 생태적, 환경적으로 중요한 역할을 하고 생태복원의 주요 재료가 되는 버드나무림에 대한 식물사회학적 연구가 수행되었다. 습지보호지역에 발달하는 버드나무림을 대상으로 Z.-M.(Zürich-Montpellier)학파의 방법에 따라 총 61개의 식생자료가 수집되었고 식물군락과 종조성적 특성이 밝혀졌다. 총 237분류군을 포함한 9개의 식물군락이 구분되었다. 높은 상대기여도(r-NCD) 값을 나타내는 버드나무류는 키버들, 왕버들, 선버들, 갯버들, 버드나무로 확인되었다. 종조성 분석결과, 벼과, 국화과, 미나리과, 마디풀과, 콩과 순으로 출현빈도가 높게 나타났으며, 생활형은 일년생식물(휴면형), 단립식물(지하기관형), 중력산포형(산포방법), 직립형(생육형)을 가지는 식물종의 출현율이 높아 Th-R₅-D₄-e로 특징지어졌다. 귀화식물은 12과 24종, 생태계교란 생물은 3과 4종이 관찰되었으며, 귀화율은 10.1%, 교란지수는 41.4%로 분석되었다. NMDS 서열법(non-metric multidimensional scaling)에 의한 식물종과 조사지점 간의 경향성 분석 결과, 조사지점의 해발고도와 습지의 유형이 식물군락의 공간적 분포를 결정하는 주요한 요소인 것으로 밝혀졌다. 비교적 해발고도가 높은 산지형 습지에서 다양성 지수와 균등도 지수가 높게 나타났으며, 해발고도가 낮은 하천형과 호수형 습지에서는 교란지수, 귀화율, 일년생식물 출현비율이 높았다.

Nucleophilic addition reactions of benzylamines (BA; $XC_6H_4CH_2NH_2$) to ethyl-${\alpha}$-cyanocinnamates (ECC;$YC_6H_4CH$=C(CN)COOEt) have been investigated in acetonitrile at $30.0^{\circ}C$. The rate is first order with respect to BA and ECC. The rate is slower than that expected from the additive effect of ${\sigma}^-$ or $R^-$ for the activating groups (CN and COOEt). Natural. bond orbital ${\pi}^{\ast}_{c=c}$ calculations show that the contribution of COOEt group may not be fully effective despite the coplanar molecular structure. The selectivity parameters including the cross-interaction constant (${\rho}_{xy}$ = -0.22) indicate that the addition occurs in a single step. The kinetic isotope effects ($k_H/k_D$=2.5-2.8) involving deuterated BA ($XC_6H_4CH_2ND_2$) nucleophiles and activation parameters (${\Delta}H^{\neq}=4{\sim}6\;kcal\;mol^{-1};{\Delta}S^{\neq}=-45{\sim}-52\;e.u.$) suggest a cyclic transition state in which N-$C_{\alpha}$ and H-$C_{\beta}$ bonds are formed concurrently.

We present the photometric properties of V608 Cas from detailed studies of light curves and eclipse timings. The light curve synthesis indicates that the eclipsing pair is an overcontact binary with parameters of ∆T = 155 K, q = 0.328, and f = 26%. We detected the third light ℓ₃, which corresponds to about 8% and 5% of the total systemic light in V and R bands, respectively. Including our 6 timing measurements, a total of 38 times of minimum light were used for a period study. It was found that the orbital period of V608 Cas has varied in some combination of an upward parabola and two periodic variations. The continuous period increase with a rate of +3.99 × 10^-7 d yr^-1 can be interpreted as a mass transfer from the secondary component to the primary star at a rate of 1.51 × 10^-7 M_⊙ yr^-1. The periods and semi-amplitudes of the two periodic variations are about P₃ = 16.0 yr and P₄ = 26.3 yr, and K₃ = 0.0341 d and K₄ = 0.0305 d, respectively. The most likely explanation of both cycles is a pair of light-traveling time effects operated by the possible presence of third and fourth components with estimated masses of M₃ = 2.20 M_⊙ and M₄ = 1.27 M_⊙ in eccentric orbits of e₃ = 0.66 and e₄ = 0.52. Because the contribution of ℓ₃ is very low compared to the estimated masses of two circumbinary objects, they can be inferred as very faint compact objects.

Field test was conducted to investigate primary factors reducing rapeseed harvesting using a reciprocating cutter-bar of combine. The results showed that the correlation between crop moisture content and yield loss had a U-type, which indicated that the yield reduction increased at too high and too low crop moisture contents. The proper ranges of crop moisture contents were 27${\sim}$35%, 21${\sim}$56%, and 62${\sim}$73% in case of grain, pod and stem, respectively. Crop moisture content was negatively correlated with header loss, but positively correlated with threshing loss. In contrary, stem moisture content showed positive correlations with total loss, threshing loss and separation loss. Working speed was positively correlated with header loss. Total flow rate, pod flow rate and stem flow rate were highly correlated with threshing loss and separation loss. However, grain flow rate did not show any correlation with total loss. According to the principal component analysis, two principal components were derived as components with eigenvalues greater than 1.0. The contribution rates of the first and the second components were 52.7% and 38.9%, which accounted for 91.6% of total variance. As a contributive factor influencing total loss of rapeseed mechanical harvesting, a crop moisture content factor was greater than a crop flow rate factor. The stepwise multiple regression analysis for total loss was conducted using crop moisture content factor, crop flow rate factor and coefficient. However, the model did not show any correlation among independent and dependent factors ($R^2$=0.060).

A study was carried out to study the response of total purine derivatives (PD) excretion in urine to determine microbial N (MN) supply at four fixed levels of feed intake (namely 95, 80, 60 and 40% of voluntary intake). The crossbred (CB) calves were allocated according to a $4{\times}4$ Latin Square Design and fed wheat straw and concentrate (1:1). The rate of PD excretion (mmol/d) as a linear function of feed intake was 15.85/kg DMI and 20.12/kg DOMI. Based on the endogenous and PD excretion rates obtained in this study, a relationship between daily urinary PD excretion (Y, mmol) and daily microbial protein supply (X, mmol) was developed for crossbred calves as Y = 0.83X+0.296 kg $W^{0.75}$. The derived microbial N values using this equation differed (p<0.001) among the 4 groups and was the highest in L-95 followed by L-80, L-60 and L-40. The relationship between urinary nitrogen loss (Y, g/d) and DOMI (X, kg/d) was established as: Y = 6.038X+21.753 ($r^2$ = 0.663, p<0.01). When urinary excretion of PD (Y, mmol/d) was plotted against intake of DM and DOM (X, kg/d), the equations obtained were: Y = 7.1711X+8.674 ($r^2$ = 0.889, p<0.01) and Y = 12.434X+7.683 ($r^2$ = 0.896, p<0.01), respectively. The proportional contribution of allantoin and uric acid to total PD remained stable irrespective of level of feed intake. Similarly, urinary excretion of creatinine did not differ (p>0.05) between animals fed at different levels. The MN supply was the highest to animals at intake levels L-95, and decreased linearly with corresponding decrease in feed intake. However, the MN supply when expressed per kg DOMI remained statistically (p>0.05) similar irrespective of level of intake. The results revealed that the excretion of urinary purine derivatives were positively correlated with the level of feed intake as well as rumen microbial supply and thus it could be a good indicator for measuring the microbial protein supply and nutritional status of animals.
