  • Radio frequency identification (RFID) sensor tag provides several advantages including battery-less operation and low cost, which are suitable for long-term monitoring. This paper presents a self-powered RFID temperature sensor tag for online temperature monitoring in substation. The proposed sensor tag is used to measure and process the temperature of high voltage equipments in substation, and then wireless deliver the data. The proposed temperature sensor employs a novel phased-locked loop (PLL)-based architecture and can convert the temperature sensor in frequency domain without a reference clock, which can significantly improve the temperature accuracy. A two-stage rectifier adopts a series of auxiliary floating rectifier to boost its gate voltage for higher power conversion efficiency. The sensor tag chip was fabricated in TSMC $0.18{\mu}m$ 1P6M CMOS process. The measurement results show that the proposed temperature sensor tag achieve a resolution of $0.15^{\circ}C$/LSB and a temperature error of $-0.6/0.7^{\circ}C$ within the range from $-30^{\circ}C$ to $70^{\circ}C$. The proposed sensor tag achieves maximum communication distance of 11.8 m.

  • This paper presents a parameter visualization technique to overcome the limitation of the naked eye in contrast-enhanced ultrasonography. A method is also proposed to compensate for the distortion and noise in ultrasound image sequences. Meaningful parameters for diagnosing liver disease can be extracted from the dynamic patterns of the contrast enhancement in ultrasound images. The visualization technique can provide more accurate information by generating a parametric image from the dynamic data. Respiratory motions and noise from micro-bubble in ultrasound data may cause a degradation of the reliability of the diagnostic parameters. A multi-stage algorithm for respiratory motion tracking and an image enhancement technique based on the Markov Random Field are proposed. The usefulness of the proposed methods is empirically discussed through experiments by using a set of clinical data.

  • To model the atmospheric dispersion of radionuclides released from nuclear accident is very important for nuclear emergency. But the uncertainty of model parameters, such as source term and meteorological data, may significantly affect the prediction accuracy. Data assimilation (DA) is usually used to improve the model prediction with the measurements. The paper proposed a parameter bias transformation method combined with Lagrangian puff model to perform DA. The method uses the transformation of coordinates to approximate the effect of parameters bias. The uncertainty of four model parameters is considered in the paper: release rate, wind speed, wind direction and plume height. And particle swarm optimization is used for searching the optimal parameters. Twin experiment and Kincaid experiment are used to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. The results show that the proposed method can effectively increase the reliability of model prediction and estimate the parameters. It has the advantage of clear concept and simple calculation. It will be useful for improving the result of atmospheric dispersion model at the early stage of nuclear emergency.

  • Most of the existing evaluation criteria of vibration serviceability rely on the peak acceleration of the structure rather than that of the people keeping their own body unmoved on the structure who is the real receiver of structural vibrations. In order to accurately assess the vibration serviceability, therefore, a full path assessment approach of vibration serviceability based on vibration source, path and receiver is not only tentatively proposed in this paper, taking the peak acceleration of receiver into account, but also introduce a probability procedure to provide more instructive information instead of a single value. In fact, semi-rigid supported on both sides of the structure is more consistent with the actual situation than simply supported or clamped due to the application of the prefabricated footbridge structures. So, the footbridge is regarded as a beam with semi-rigid supported on both sides in this paper. The differential quadrature-integral quadrature coupled method is not only to handle different type of boundary conditions, but also after being further modified via the introduction of an approximation procedure in this work, the time-varying system problem caused by human-structure interaction can be solved well. The analytical results of numerical simulations demonstrate that the modified differential quadrature-integral quadrature coupled method has higher reliability and accuracy compared with the mode superposition method. What's more, both of the two different passive control measures, the tuned mass damper and semi-rigid supported, have good performance for reducing vibrations. Most importantly, semi-rigid supported is easier to achieve the objective of reducing vibration compared with tuned mass damper in design stage of structure.

  • Data outsourcing utilizing the Cloud faces a problem of the third-party exposure, modulation, and reliability for the provided computational delegation results. In order to solve those problematic security issues, homomorphic encryption(HE) which executes calculation and analysis on encrypted data becomes popular. By extension, a new type of HE with a authentication functionality, homomorphic authenticated encryption(HAE) is suggested. However, a research on the HAE is on the initial stage. Furthermore, based on a message authenticated scheme with HE, the method and analysis to design is still absent. This paper aims to analyze an HAE, with a generic combination of a message authenticated scheme and a HE, known as "Encrypt with Authentication". Following a series of analysis, we show that by adopting a unforgeable message authenticated scheme, the generically constructed HAE demonstrated an unforgeability as well. Though, a strong unforgeability is not the case. This paper concludes that although indistinguishable HE can be applied to design the HAE, a security issue on the possibility of indistinguishability is still not satisfied.

  • The Fukushima Daiichi accident in 2011 revealed some vulnerabilities of existing Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) under extended Station Blackout (SBO) accident conditions. One of the key Severe Accident Management (SAM) strategies developed post Fukushima accident is the In-Vessel Retention (IVR) Strategy which aims to retain the structural integrity of the Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV). RELAP/SCDAPSIM/MOD3.4 is selected to predict the thermal-hydraulic response of APR1400 undergoing an extended SBO. To assess the effectiveness of the IVR strategy, it is essential to quantify the underlying uncertainties. In this work, both the epistemic and aleatory uncertainties are considered to identify the success window of the IVR strategy. A set of in-vessel relevant phenomena were identified based on Phenomena Identification and Ranking Tables (PIRT) developed for severe accidents and propagated through the thermal-hydraulic model using Wilk's sampling method. For this work, a Systems Engineering (SE) approach is applied to facilitate the development process of assessing the reliability and robustness of the APR1400 IVR strategy. Specifically, the Kossiakoff SE method is used to identify the requirements, functions and physical architecture, and to develop a design verification and validation plan. Using the SE approach provides a systematic tool to successfully achieve the research goal by linking each requirement to a verification or validation test with predefined success criteria at each stage of the model development. The developed model identified the conditions necessary for successful implementation of the IVR strategy which maintains the vessel integrity and prevents a melt-through.

  • With the global pandemic of COVID-19, it is pointed out that exposure to false information to the public could cause serious problems. However, in pandemic situations, there is also an positive effect for the public to share private-led information rather than centralized unilateral delivery of information. This study analyzes the role of private-led information provision in infectious disease situations. To this end, topic modeling and sentiment analysis is carried out on online reviews of all COVID-19-related applications in Google Playstore provided by the Korean government and the private. The results showed that the user's evaluation of private apps, which were used from the early stage of COVID-19, was much higher than the apps provided by the government. In particular, users responded more positively to private apps than government apps in all aspects such as reliability of information, risk avoidance, timeliness, usefulness, and stability. Based on these results, a post-monitoring system is recommended rather than a pre-block of all private apps.

  • In this study, the attributes of the NHPP software development cost model applying the Gamma family distribution (Erlang, Log-Logistic, Rayleigh) were newly analyzed, and after comparing with the Goel-Okumoto basic model to verify the properties of the model, the optimal model was also presented based on this. To analyze software reliability, failure time data that occurred randomly during system operation was used, and the calculation of the parameters was solved using the maximum likelihood estimation. As a result of comprehensive evaluation through various attribute analysis (mean value function, development cost, optimal release time), it was confirmed that the Rayleigh model had the best performance. Through this study, the attributes of the software development cost model applying the Gamma family distribution, which has no previous research case, were newly identified. Also, basic design data could also be presented so that developers can efficiently utilize this research data at an early stage.
