지금까지는 노심의 장전 패턴을 찾는데 있어서, 임의로 대략 노심 장전 패턴을 가정한 후 출력 분포를 구하여 보고 peaking limit와 같은 여러 가지 제약조건을 만족시키지 못하면 모든 조건을 만족할 수 있도록 다시 다른 형태의 노심 장전 패턴을 시도하여 구하는 방법을 사용하였나, 이 방법은 축적된 경험과 반복적인 많은 노력과 시간을 요구하는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 후방확산 계산이론을 이용하여 1차익 원통형 노심에 대해 첨두출력 제약조건을 만족시키면서 가장 적은 연료를 필요로 하는 출력 분포를 찾고, 그에 대응하는 노심장전 패턴을 구할 수 있는 방법을 검토하였다. 이는 후방확산 이론을 실제 노심구조에 적용하기 인한 전 단계로서 수행되었다.

일반적으로 비선형 시스템은 1차와 2차 시스템의 곱의 형태로 선형화되며, 시스템은 실근, 중근, 서로 다른 두 실근, 복소근의 4종류의 근을 가진다. 이 논문은 시스템이 가지는 4가지 근 중에서 조단블록을 갖는 중근을 복소근으로 이동시키는 LQ 제어의 가중행렬과 제어법칙을 설계하는 방법에 관한 것이다. 상태가중행렬을 제한 조건으로 하고 성능지수함수를 최소화하는 LQ 제어는 시스템의 안정성을 보장하고 시스템의 근을 이동시키는 극배치 기능을 가지고 있다. 그렇지만 이 방법은 시행착오 방법으로 설계 변수인 가중행렬을 설정하고, 이동되는 근의 위치를 정확히 지정할 수 없는 문제가 있다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 해밀토니안 시스템의 특성방정식을 대각행렬의 제어가중행렬과 삼각함수로 표현된 상태가중행렬을 이용하여 기술한다. 이동할 복소근이 이 특성방정식의 근이라는 조건에서 중근과 상태가중행렬의 관계식(𝜌, 𝜃)을 유도하고 상태가중행렬이 양의 반한정행렬이라는 조건에서 중근의 이동범위를 구하고, 좌표평면에 도시한다. 그려진 중근의 이동범위에서 복소근을 선택하여 관계식에 대입하여 상태가중행렬을 계산하고, 이것에서 제어법칙이 구한다. 예제에서 3차 시스템의 중근을 이동시키는 제어법칙의 설계과정을 통해 제안한 방법의 타당성을 확인하였다.

The ultrasound imaging in medical diagnosis has become a popular modality because of its safe, noninvasive, portable, relatively inexpensive, and provides a real-time image formation. However, usefulness of ultrasound imaging is at times limited due to the presence of signal-dependent noise like as speckle. Therefore, noise reduction is very important, as various types of noise generated limits the effectiveness of medical image diagnosis. This paper introduces a speckle noise reduce algorithm using total variation denoising (TVD) in Laplacian pyramid. With this method, speckle is removed by TVD of bandpass ultrasound images in Laplacian pyramid domain. For TVD in each pyramid layer, a ${\lambda}$ is selected by trial-and-error method. The visual comparison of despeckled 'in vivo' ultrasound images from pancreas shows that the proposed method could effectively preserve edges and detailed structures while thoroughly suppressing speckle. For a Simulated B-mode image, contrast-to-noise-ratio (CNR) and signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) were obtained like 4.65 dB and 14.11 dB, respectively. The results show that the proposed method can conduct better than some of the existing methods in terms of the CNR and the SNR.

The lattice-spring-based synthetic rock mass model (LS-SRM) technique has been extensively employed in large open-pit mining and underground projects in the last decade. Since the LS-SRM requires a complex and time-consuming calibration process, a robust approach was developed using the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) to optimize the calibration procedure. For this purpose, numerical models were designed using the Box-Behnken Design technique, and numerical simulations were performed under uniaxial and triaxial stress states. The model input parameters represented the models' micro-mechanical (lattice) properties and the macro-scale properties, including uniaxial compressive strength (UCS), elastic modulus, cohesion, and friction angle constitute the output parameters of the model. The results from RSM models indicate that the lattice UCS and lattice friction angle are the most influential parameters on the macro-scale UCS of the specimen. Moreover, lattice UCS and elastic modulus mainly control macro-scale cohesion. Lattice friction angle (flat joint fiction angle) and lattice elastic modulus affect the macro-scale friction angle. Model validation was performed using physical laboratory experiment results, ranging from weak to hard rock. The results indicated that the RSM model could be employed to calibrate LS-SRM numerical models without a trial-and-error process.

There have been many problems due to deformation in industry field. Especially, it is severe in parts with small size and thin thickness and in products that must have excellent airtightness and anti-noise. The countermeasures for this deformation in field have mainly been dependent on the rule of trial and error by operator's experience because of productivities. Systematic study about this product with deformation is also insufficient that deformation is complex problem with shape, size, material of product, joining method and conditions, etc.. It is efficient to apply CAE technique without influence on productivity to this problem. There is, however much difference between the result analyzed by CAE and appearances in working field because of the insufficiency of communication between simulator and worker and of sensing data for boundary condition in analysis. In this study, to solve this deformation problem, we intend to make a simulation model that is adapted from working conditions by tuning and feedback between sensing data and simulation results. This paper include temperature monitoring and make a heat transfer model using sensing data in product as previous step for deformation analysis. The heat transfer analysis of shrinkage fit process is considerably difficult due to contact heat transfer between case and core. To solve this contact problem, gap element is used in present study.

통신 시스템과 지휘통제 시스템으로 구성된 C3 시스템에 대한 복합체계 기반 분석 방법은 상세한 분석이 가능하다는 장점을 지니지만, 한 번 수행하는데 긴 실행 시간을 요구하고, 이는 다양한 시나리오의 분석을 어렵게 한다. 이를 해결하기 위해, 본 논문에서는 페더레이션으로부터 단일 시뮬레이션으로의 변환 기법을 통한 C3 복합 체계 분석 방법에 대해 제안한다. 본 변환 기법은 분석하고자 하는 이외의 시스템을 추상하여, 정확성을 유지하면서 실행 시간을 단축하고, 이는 model hypothesis와 function identification이 주가 된다. model hypothesis에서는 확장된 DEVS 형식론을 통해 시뮬레이션 가능한 추상화된 모델을 구성할 수 있고, function identification에서는 해당 모델이 타 시스템으로부터 받는 영향을 표현할 수 있다. 통신 및 C2 시스템 분석에 대한 실험을 통해, 제안한 방법은 일정 오차 범위 이내에서 정확성을 보존하면서 시뮬레이션 시간을 단축하였고, 이를 통해 C3 이외의 다양한 복합 체계에 대한 탐색적 분석이 가능할 것으로 기대한다.

The purpose of this study is to conduct a comparative analysis between Korea and the United States of the supply process of unit modular housing at both the factory production phase and the transportation and lifting phase, as part of an attempt to invigorate the unit modular housing market in Korea. Unlike the practice in the United States, one of Korea's unique characteristics is that the floor is constructed with reinforced concrete and hot water heating system. To do this, the wet method in Korea is used that includes concrete placement, curing and constructing hot water floor heating system at the factory production phase, which results in a longer production time and also requires the lifting of heavier loads. In the United States, interior and exterior finishing works of modular housing are performed by different companies, and the distance between the unit module factory and the construction site is quite far. This kind of dualized production structure may cause confusion when it comes to schedule management, procurement management, and stock management. Moreover, problems caused by external environmental factors such as wind and rainfall were reported in the course of long-distance transportation. The results of this case comparison are expected to provide fundamental data that will reduce the amount of trial and error in the unit module production, transportation and lifting work in Korea, which has a comparatively small number of unit modular housing cases.

The use of internal-model-based linear controller, such as resonant controller, is a well-established technique for the current control of grid-connected systems. Attractive properties for resonant controllers include their two-sequence tracking ability, the simple control structure, and the reduced computational burden. However, in the case of continuous-designed resonant controller, the transient performance is inevitably degraded at a low switching frequency. Moreover, available design methods for resonant controller is not able to realize the direct design of transient performances, and the anticipated transient performance is mainly achieved through trial and error. To address these problems, the zero-order-hold (ZOH) characteristic and inherent time delay in digital control systems are considered comprehensively in the design, and a corresponding hold-equivalent discrete model of the grid-connected converter is then established. The relationship between the placement of closed-loop poles and the corresponding transient performance is comprehensively investigated to realize the direct mapping relationship between the control gain and the transient response time. For the benefit of automatic tuning and real-time adaption, analytical expressions for controller gains are derived in detail using the required transient response time and system parameters. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate the validity of the proposed method.

Aluminium outfitting is widely used in offshore platforms owing to its anti-corrosion ability and its light weight. However, various standards exist (ISO, NORSOK and EN) for the design of handrails used in offshore platforms, and different suppliers have different criteria. This causes great confusion for designers. Moreover, the design load required by the standards is not clearly defined or is uncertain. Thus, many offshore projects reference previous project details or are conservatively designed without additional clarification. In this study, all of the codes and standards were reviewed and analysed through prior studies, and data on variable factors that directly and indirectly affect the handrails applied to offshore platforms were analysed. A total of 50 handrail design load scenarios were proposed through deterministic and probabilistic approaches. To verify the proposed new handrail design load selection scenario, structural analysis was performed using SACS (offshore structural analysis software). This new proposal through deterministic and probabilistic approaches is expected to improve safety by clarifying the purpose of the handrails. Furthermore, the acceptance criteria for probabilistic scenarios for handrails suggest considering the frequency of handrail use and the design life of offshore platforms to prevent excessive design. This study is expected to prevent trial and error in handrail design while maintaining overall worker safety by applying a loading scenario suitable for the project environment to enable optimal handrail design.

Purpose: South Korea has expanded its accelerated second-degree Bachelor of Science in Nursing program to resolve its supply-demand imbalance in nursing, although how these students are adapting to and performing in college after admission remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to conduct an in-depth exploration of how Korean accelerated second-degree Bachelor of Science nursing students interact with society and adapt to college life for establishing further supportive educational policies and programs. Methods: Participants comprised 20 South Korean accelerated second-degree Bachelor of Science in Nursing students. The data were collected via online or offline in-depth interviews and analyzed using Strauss and Corbin's grounded theory and by applying a constant comparative method to achieve theoretical saturation. Results: The core category, derived using open, axial, and selective coding, was "process of the uncharted journey toward a new dream." The participants' college adaptation processes were found to involve three phases: trial and error, adjustment, and acceptance and integration. Conclusion: These findings can be used to develop, apply, test, and improve various support programs for accelerated second-degree Bachelor of Science in Nursing students and to advance the nursing profession by nurturing a workforce with diverse academic backgrounds and faster college life adaptation.
