In this paper we propose a new approach to the development of the automatic vision system to examine and repair the steam generator tubes at remote distance. In nuclear power plants, workers are reluctant of works in steam generator because of the high radiation environment and limited working space. It is strongly recommended that the examination and maintenance works be done by an automatic system for the protection of the operator from the radiation exposure. Digital signal processors are used in implementing real time recognition and examination of steam generator tubes in the proposed vision system. Performance of proposed digital vision system is illustrated by simulation and experiment for similar steam generator model.

가공열처리에 의한 결정립계조절 개념을 이용하여 Alloy 600 재료의 결정립계특성과 부식특성을 조사하였다. 가공열 처리에 따른 결정립계특성 변화를 EBSP로 분석하였으며, 결정립계특성 변화가 입계부식 및 응력부식균열 거동에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 가공열처리 반복에 따른 각 단계에서의 CSL 입계의 분율 변화가 두드러지지는 않았으나, 상용재료에 비하여 CSL 분율이 약 10% 이상 향상된 결과를 얻었다. 결정립계특성 변화에 따라 입계부식 저항성이 현저하게 증가하였으나, 1차측 응력부식균열 특성에 있어서는 가공열처리를 반복할수록 파단시간과 최대하중이 감소하고 평균 균열성장속도가 증가하였으며 2차 균열이 억제되는 결과를 얻었다. 결정립계의 \`fine tuning\` 기구가 이러한 부식거동변화에 작용한 것으로 해석할 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 원자력 발전소 증기발생기를 위한 논리 프로세서에 기초한 모델링 방법에 대하여 다룬다. 증기발생기의 모델링은 여러 가지 요소들 중 특히, 열역학성 특성에 기인한 수축(shrink)과 팽창(swell)의 현상을 가지는 비최소위상 특성에 의해 수학적 모델링에 어려움이 있다고 알려져 있다. 이러한 어려움을 극복하기 위해서 본 논문에서는 기존의 신경회로망과는 달리 전문가의 지식을 포함할 수 있으면서 효율적인 학습이 가능한 구조를 가진 논리프로세서(logic processor)를 이용하여 증기발생기 모델링을 행하였으며, 다양한 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안된 방법의 유용함을 보였다.

This paper considers the optimum replacement times of a steam generator in nuclear power plant with failure data. It is assumed that the failure pattern of units is given as a Weibull distribution and repair and periodic preventive maintenance are performed periodically. The maximum likelihood method is used to estimated the Weibull parameters of failure distribution from failure data. Relpacement, output-decresing and maintenance costs are considered to determine the optimal replacement times by simulation. Numerical examples are included with actual failure data and cost estimators.

We analyzed the variations in the CO₂ concentration and temperature between a CO₂-enriched and control greenhouse. We cultivated Alstroemeria 'Hanhera' in the two greenhouses and assessed the growth parameters (stem length, stem thickness, and the number of flowers) and yield. The CO₂-enriched greenhouse had a CO₂ generator that produced CO₂ at rate of 0.36 kg/h and its windows were programmed to open when the temperature exceeded 20℃ and close when it dropped below 15℃. The control greenhouse had no additional CO₂ supplementation, and its windows were programmed to open when the temperature exceeded 20℃ and close at approximately 17:00. In the morning, CO₂ concentration remained above 500 ppm in the CO₂-enriched greenhouse, which was higher than that in the control greenhouse (approximately 370 ppm). The ventilation effect only through the side windows to reduce the temperature in both greenhouses did not appear dynamically. CO₂ supplementation promoted plant growth, resulting in a significant increase in plant yield of over 60% compared to that of the control greenhouse. Our findings suggest that elevated CO₂ concentration in the morning can significantly promote the growth and development of Alstroemeria during the winter.

In plants, the oxygen generated by photosynthesis can be excited to form reactive oxygen species (ROS) under excessive sunlight. Excess ROS including singlet oxygen ($^1O_2$) inhibit the growth, development and photosynthesis of plants. To isolate ROS-resistant crop plants, we used paraquat (PQ), a generator of $O_2{^-}$ as a source of screening and mutagen, and obtained two PQ-resistant lines in Pisum sativum, namely R3-1 and R3-2. Both lines showed greater resistance to PQ than their wild type (WT) siblings with respect to germination, root growth, and shoot growth. Biochemical analysis showed differences in these lines, in which ROS-scavenging enzymes undergo changes with a distinguishable increase in Mn-SOD. We further observed that the cytosolic catalases (CATs) in leaves in both lines were shifted in a native-PAGE analysis compared with that of the WT, indicating that the release of bound $^1O_2$ was enhanced. Phenotypic analysis revealed distinguishable differences in leaf development, and in flowering time and position. In addition, R3-1 and R3-2 showed shorter individual inter-node lengths, dwarf plant height, and stronger branching compared with the WT. These results suggested that PQ-induced ROS-resistant Pisum have the potential pleiotropic effects on flowering time and stem branching, and that ROS including $^1O_2$ plays not only important roles in plant growth and development as a signal transducer, but also appears as a strong inhibitor for crop yield.

Fresh corn, one of the main food crops, must be harvested by hand. A harvest mechanization technology is required. In this study, a tractor-attached harvester was designed and manufactured to sequentially perform stem reaping, fresh corn detaching, and collecting. The(harvester was designed so that the main device could operate through a hydraulic pump and a generator could be operated through the tractor's PTO. Factor tests were conducted according to cultivars (Ilmichal, Super sweet corn) and working speed (0.12 m/s, 0.17, 0.22). After the factor test, detached corns ratio, collected corns ratio, and damaged corns ratio were analyzed and harvest performance was evaluated. Harvesting performance was good for super sweet corn. Considering operation efficiency, 0.22 m/s was judged to be an appropriate working speed. It was found that it took two hours to work an area of 10 a.
