A conceptual core design of the 1,300MWe KNGR (Korean Next Generation Reactor) without using soluble boron for reactivity control was developed to determine whether it is technically feasible to implement SBF (Soluble Boron Free) operation. Based on the borated KNGR core design, the fuel assembly and control rod configuration were modified for extensive use of burnable poison rods and control rods. A new fuel rod, in which Pu-238 had been substituted for a small amount of U-238 in fuel composition, was introduced to assist the reactivity control by burnable poison rods. Since Pu-238 has a considerably large thermal neutron capture cross section, the new fuel assembly showed good reactivity suppression capability throughout the entire cycle turnup, especially at BOC (Beginning of Cycle). Moreover, relatively uniform control of power distribution was possible since the new fuel assemblies were loaded throughout the core. In this study, core excess reactivity was limited to 2.0 %$\delta$$\rho$ for the minimal use of control rods. The analysis results of the SBF KNGR core showed that axial power distribution control can be achieved by using the simplest zoning scheme of the fuel assembly Furthermore, the sufficient shutdown margin and the stability against axial xenon oscillations were secured in this SBF core. It is, therefore, concluded that a SBF operation is technically feasible for a large sized LWR (Light Water Reactor).

간단한 경계선 추적자 알고리즘(SBF: Simple Boundary Follower)은 영상의 인식과 표현을 위하여 사용되는 경계선 추적 알고리즘 중에서 널리 사용되는 것이다. SBF는 주로 이진화된 영상에서 물체의 경계선을 추적할 때 매우 간단하면서도 효율적인 성능을 제공한다. 그러나 추적자의 위치와 방향조건에 따라 인너코너(inner corner)와 인너-아우터 코너(inner-outer corner)의 일부 영상을 추적하지 못하는 비일관성(inconsistency)을 가지고 있고, 경계선 이외의 픽셀들에 대한 부가적인 이동연산을 요구한다는 단점이 있다. 이러한 제약성들 중 인너-아우터 코너의 비일관성을 해결하기 위하여 수정된 간단한 경계선 추적자 알고리즘(MSBF: Modified Simple Boundary Follower)이 연구되었지만 여전히 인너코너 추적 비일관성과 부가 연산 필요성에 대한 해결책은 제시되지 않았다. 본 논문에서는 이를 개선하기 위하여 비일관성이 일어나지 않도록 처리하고, 경계선 주위 픽셀에 대한 이동 연산을 줄일 수 있는 개선된 간단한 경계선 추적자 알고리즘(ISBF: Improved Simple Boundary Follower)을 제안하였다. 또한 경계선상의 픽셀들의 배치와 이동 경로 방식에 대해 분류를 함으로써 세 가지 알고리즘의 연산복잡도를 계산하였다. 제안된 알고리즘은 MSBF에 비하여 연산량이 감소하였고, 비일관성의 문제가 없는 것으로 분석되었다.

Biomimetic whisker-like apatite was formed on thermally and NaOH-treated titanium powder in a simulated body fluid (SBF). In the early process of the SBF immersion, the surface structure of the titanium powder was loosened, possibly due to the dissolution of $Na^+$ ions on the surface of the titanium powder into SBF. When immersed for 7 days in SBF, fine precipitates appeared on the titanium surfaces; the coating layer (<200 nm in thickness) consisted of nanostructured, amorphous whisker-like and particulate phase, observed by TEM. With the extension of the immersion time to 16 days, the chrysanthemum flower type morphology of carbonated hydroxyapatite with a nanocrystallinity was developed on the surface of the titanium powder.

A complete solution for a soluble-boron-free (SBF) small modular reactor (SMR) is pursued with a new burnable absorber concept, namely centrally-shielded burnable absorber (CSBA). Neutronic flexibility of the CSBA design has been discussed with fuel assembly (FA) analyses. Major design parameters and goals of the SBF SMR are discussed in view of the reactor core design and three CSBA designs are introduced to achieve both a very low burnup reactivity swing (BRS) and minimal residual reactivity of the CSBA. It is demonstrated that the core achieves a long cycle length (~37 months) and high burnup (~30 GWd/tU), while the BRS is only about 1100 pcm and the radial power distribution is rather flat. This research also introduces a supplementary reactivity control mechanism using stainless steel as mechanical shim (MS) rod to obtain the criticality during normal operation. A further analysis is performed to investigate the local power peaking of the CSBA-loaded FA at MS-rodded condition. Moreover, a simple $B_4C$-based control rod arrangement is proposed to assure a sufficient shutdown margin even at the cold-zero-power condition. All calculations in this neutronic-thermal hydraulic coupled investigation of the 3D SBF SMR core are completed by a two-step Monte Carlo-diffusion hybrid methodology.

To evaluate the effect of feeding methods on growth and zinc nutritional status of infants early in life, we monitored from birth to 36 months in 51 infants who were exclusively fed human milk (HM, n=20), casein-based formula (CBF, n=12), or soy-based formula (SBF, n=19) during the first five months of life. Zinc status was assessed by analyzing serum zinc concentrations and zinc intakes. Zinc contents in HM and formulas were measured. Zinc intake was estimated by weighing infants before and after feeding in the HM group and by collecting formula-intake records in the CBF and SBF groups. After solid foods were introduced, all foods consumed were also included to estimate zinc intake. The growth of infants in all groups was similar to that established for normal Korean infants. Human milk zinc concentrations declined as lactation progressed. Zinc concentrations in all formulas tested in this study were higher than HM and were also higher than those claimed by the manufacturers. During the first twelve months, mean serum zinc concentrations of infants were similar in all groups, although infants in the HM group consistently had the lowest zinc intake among the groups, and the overall zinc intake in infants fed SBF was highest. This finding could be explained by the difference zinc bioavailability of HM and formulas. In conclusion, infants fed HM, CBF or SBF has normal growth up to three years of age, although HM contained the lowest zinc concentration followed by CBF, then SBF.

Hydroxyapatite (HAp) powders with different crystallinities were synthesized at various calcination temperatures through the co-precipitation of $Ca(OH)_2$ and $H_3PO_4$. The degradation behavior of these HAp powders with different crystallinities was assessed in a simulated body fluid solution (SBF) for 8 weeks. Below $800^{\circ}C$, the powders were nonstochiometric HAp, and the single HAp phase was successfully synthesized at $800^{\circ}C$. The degree of crystallinity of the HAp powders increased with an increasing calcination temperature and varied in a range from 39.6% to 92.5%. In the low crystallinity HAp powders, the Ca and P ion concentrations of the SBF solution increased with an increasing soaking time, which indicated that the low crystallinity HAp degraded in the SBF solution. The mass of the HAp powders linearly decreased with respect to the soaking time, and the mass loss was higher at lower crystallinities. The mass loss ranged from 0.8% to 13.2% after 8 weeks. The crystallinity of the HAp powders increased with an increasing soaking time up to 4 weeks and then decreased because of HAp degradation. The pH of the SBF solution did not change much throughout the course of these experiments. These results suggested that the crystallinity of HAp can be used to control the degradation.

The aim of this paper is to study the Weyl type-theorems for the orthogonal direct sum $S{\oplus}T$, where S and T are bounded linear operators acting on a Banach space X. Among other results, we prove that if both T and S possesses property ($gb$) and if ${\Pi}(T){\subset}{\sigma}_a(S)$, ${\PI}(S){\subset}{\sigma}_a(T)$, then $S{\oplus}T$ possesses property ($gb$) if and only if ${\sigma}_{SBF^-_+}(S{\oplus}T)={\sigma}_{SBF^-_+}(S){\cup}{\sigma}_{SBF^-_+}(T)$. Moreover, we prove that if T and S both satisfies generalized Browder's theorem, then $S{\oplus}T$ satis es generalized Browder's theorem if and only if ${\sigma}_{BW}(S{\oplus}T)={\sigma}_{BW}(S){\cup}{\sigma}_{BW}(T)$.

Ti and Ti alloys are known to have excellent corrosion properties, which is an important aspect for biocompability of these implants in human body. In our study, four types of samples (Cp-Ti, Ti-6Al-4V, $0.5wt.\%$ Fe-Ti and ECAP Ti) were tested for their apatite forming ability and corrosion properties. The micropolished samples were treated with 5M NaOH solution at $60^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours. Each samples was gently washed with distilled water and heat-treated at 600"C for 1 hour. The heat-treated samples were soaked in Simulated Body Fluid (SBF) solution at $36.5^{\circ}C$ in an incubator for different period of time. The test revealed that $0.5 wt.\%$ Fe-Ti showing faster apatite growth on the surface (7th day) compared to other samples. Polarization curve test (PCT) was also carried out to determine the corrosion resistance of each samples in SBF solution. ECAP-Ti showed highest corrosion resistance compared to any other samples. $0.5wt.\%Fe-Ti$ showed higher corrosion potential and corrosion current compared to other samples.
