This paper describes the correlation of the transient impedance and its parameters with the stationary resistance of a grounding system to a square pulse current and a lightning impulse current. In the experiment, the grounding system consists of a single grounding rod$(\Psi10[mm], 1[m])$and/or a triple-grounding rods of equilateral triangles with 5[m] spacing for operation. To analyze the transient impedance characteristics of the grounding system, a pulse generator which can produce square wave of a 30[ns] rise-time and a $20[\mus] $pulse duration is designed and fabricated. The injected content in the grounding system and the developed potential were recorded, and the time variation of the transient impedance were calculated as the ratio of the potential rising to the injected current at each time. The transient impedance and the effective surge impedance Z3 which defines economic protection level in power system were quite higher than the stationary resistance. The grounding impedance is decreased by the application of the triple-rods grounding system, and its effect is decreased as the frequency of the current is increased due to the inductance of the grounding leads.

Criticality experiments with fixed neutron poison plates for water moderated and reflected low enriched(2.35 and 4.31 wt%) UO$_2$fuel rod clusters were evaluated to validate calculation techniques employed in analyzing fuel shipping and storage systems having steel, boral, or cadmium shield. Measurements were obtained for both the 2.35 wt% and the 4.31 wt% enriched rods in square pitched, water flooded lattices. The critical experiments with the 2.35 wt% enriched rods consists of three 20$\chi$ 16 or 20$\chi$ 17 fuel cluster. Critical separation were used in the experiments with the 4.31 wt% enriched fuel rods. In the experiments, the poison plates were placed on both sides of the centrally located fuel cluster. Critical separation between the three sub-critical fuel clusters were then measured for varying plate thicknesses and distances of the plates to the center fuel cluster. Calculations were performed for thirty eight critical configuration using KENO-V. a and MCNP. All of the results were within 1.23% in $\Delta$k when individually compared with the critical value of 1.0. Discrepancies of the code results are probably due to uncertainties in experiments and/or analytical modeling experiments. In general, MCNP predictions were observed to be in best agreement with the experiments.

Repeated ribs are used on heat exchanger surfaces to promote turbulence and to enhance convective heat transfer. Applications include fuel rods of gas-cooled nuclear reactors, inside cavities of turbine blades, and internal surfaces pipes used in heat exchangers. Despite the great number of literature papers, only few experimental data concerns detailed distributions of friction factors and heat transfer coefficients in square channels varying the number of rough walls. This issue was tackled by investigating effects of different number of ribbed walls on heat transfer and friction characteristics in square channel. The rough wall had a $45^{\circ}$ inclined square rib. Uniform heat flux was maintained on the whole inner heat transfer channel area. The heat transfer coefficient and friction factor values increased with increasing the number of rough walls.

The bluegill Lepomis macrochirus is an invasive species, not native to Korea, introduced for aquaculture. This species is ranked as a new top predator due to its massive aquatic carnivorous and herbivorous nature by acute vision and the absence of a natural enemy. The visual cells of the retina of L. macrochirus are composed of short single cones and equal double cones and long and bulky rods by light and electron microscopes. In particular, the cones show a regular square mosaic arrangement. This pattern is widely considered as a strong predator. With regard to the visual system, this mosaic pattern may closely be related to a dynamic visual acuity to track and hunt prey.

The shear wave velocity ($V_s$) has been commonly used to evaluate the dynamic properties of soil. The field $V_s$ probe (FVP) was already developed to assess the shear stiffness of a soft clay. The objective of this study is to investigate the disturbance effects of the FVP due to the penetration. The laboratory tests are conducted in a large-scale consolidometer (calibration chamber). The reconstituted clay is mixed at the water content of 110% using a slurry mixer. The FVP and down-hole test are carried out every 1cm interval to compare the data. In addition, two square rods with transducers are also implemented to get the reference value. The shear waves evaluated by the FVP, dow-hole tests, and reference rods are closely matched. This study suggests that the disturbance effect of the FVP due to the penetration into the soft clay soils is small enough and the $V_s$ evaluated by the FVP reflects well the in-situ characteristics. Furthermore, the combination of the FVP and down-hole test shows the possibility of hybrid equipment.

We discuss several issues relating to the meaning of the terms and phrases in the first half of Chapter One fang tian 方田章 of ${\ll}$Jiuzhang suanshu九章算術${\gg}$. I understood those issues more clearly in the course of the translation of ${\ll}$Kujang sulhae 九章術解${\gg}$. Those are '今有' in the beginning of each problem, '積' and '冪' in the method of square field 方田術, '齊' in the method of reduction to a common denominator 齊同術, '經' and '有分者通之重有分者同而通之' in the method of dividing fraction 經分術, '實如法而一' in the calculation using the rods, '兩邪' in the method of trapezium field with a perpendicular side 邪田術. We may find out the value of ${\ll}$Kujang sulhae 九章術解${\gg}$ through our discussion.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the enhancement of heat transfer without additional external power in the case of rectangular air jet impinging vertically on the flat heating surface. In an attempt to enhance the heat transfer rate in two-dimensional impinging jet, the technique used in the present study was placement of square rod bundles as a turbluence promoter in front of the heat transfer surface. The effects of the clearance between the flat plate and square rod, and the nozzle exit velocity on the heat transfer characteristics have been investigated experimentally. The results obtained through this study were summerized as follows. High heat transfer enhancement was achived by means of flow acceleration and thinning of boundary layer by inserting rods in front of the heating flat plate. The smaller the clearance between rod and heating plate was, the larger heat transfer effect became. Average Nusselt number reached maximum at $Re=5.76{\times}10^4$ and C＝1㎜ and the enhancement rate of heat transfer became maxium at this condition with the enhancement ratio as high as about 1.427 when normalized by the flat plate value. The correlating equation of average Nusselt number and Reynolds number was obtained, which is $\bar{N}uo=1.324{\cdot}Re^{0.459}{\cdot}(C/A)^{-0.034}$.

We design a 1$\times$4 optical splitter made of photonic crystal waveguides and analyze the properties of the optical splitter using the finite-difference time-domain method with perfectly-matched-layer absorbing boundaries. The photonic crystal is constructed from cylindrical rods in air on a square lattice. Our simulation results show that there are different transmission properties for four bend geometries and different incident-wave frequencies. The sum of the power transmission of the splitted light is over 93 percent at a certain geometry and frequency, and the incident power splits in the four arms with almost the same ratio.
