Adaptive optics (AO) has been applied in various fields including astronomy, ophthalmology and high power laser systems. An adaptive optics system for a high power laser is not significantly different from other AO systems in the point of configuration except that high energy absorbed by the deformable mirror distorts the deformable mirror surface and so degrades system performance. Currently we are researching a bimorph deformable mirror for beam cleaning of a high power class laser. The bimorph mirror was considered to have 99% reflective coating and 1% absorption. So this paper first presents the temperature profiles and corresponding thermal distortions of the bimorph mirror faceplate when the mirror is under a high power lasing for 10 seconds. The analysis was accomplished by the use of finite difference and finite element computer programs to generate the element arrays, calculate the temperature profiles, and determine the structural deformations. Then this paper proposes an 'embedded wafer' type water-cooling system with derived cooling parameters.

This paper deals with the development of power control system(PCS) for nuclear power plants. The PCS provides the control motive power to operate the CEDMs(Control Element Drive Mechanism) for reactivity control inside the reactor vessel. The CEDM is raise and lower the CEAs( Control Element Assemblies) inside the reactor core. The CEAs are constructed with the Boron-10 isotope which has a high microscopic cross section of absorption for thermal neutrons. This characteristic causes the addition of negative reactivity when a CEA is inserted and positive reactivity when it is withdrawn from the reactor core.

CFC계 냉매에 의한 지구환경문제 야기, 여름철 피크전력의 증가뿐만 아니라 열회수 시스템에서의 손실로 인하여 고성능 흡수냉동시스템의 개발은 이 문제를 해결할 수 있는 유망한 방법중의 하나이다. 하수처리수를 이용한 흡수식 냉동시스템은 환경보호와 에너지 보존의 측면에서 유용하다. 본 연구에서는 2중효용 병렬 및 직렬방식에 대한 사이클 시뮬레이션 해석을 수행하였다. 신작동매체로 LiBr+LiI+LiCl+LiNO3 용액을 선택하였다. 이 연구의 주된 목적은 흡수기와 응축기의 냉각수로써 하수처리수를 효과적으로 이용할 수 있는 가능성을 평가하는 것과 2중효용 병렬과 직렬방식에 영향을 미치는 신작동매체의 특성을 파악하고 최적설계조건을 찾고자 하는 것이다. 본 연구에서 사이클 시뮬레이션을 통하여 신작동매체를 사용하는 흡수식 냉동기의 특성을 파악했으며 이를 기존의 LiBr 수용액을 사용하는 흡수식 냉동기와 비교평가하였다. 신작동매체를 이용한 흡수식 냉동기는 LiBr 수용액을 사용하는 경우보다 COP의 향상과 시스템의 소형화가 가능하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

고령토질 벽돌에 대한 fly ash의 첨가가 소결온도에 미치는 영향과 그에 따른 물성의 변화를 관찰하였다. Fly ash로는 탄소 8∼9%의 무연탄 연로 재를 사용하였고 고령토 등의 국산 천연원료를 이용하여 실험을 하였다. Fly ash와 고령토 등의 4종의 원료를 5가지의 혼합비로 조합하여 혼합, 성형하고 각각 1050${\circ}C$, 1100${\circ}C$, 1150${\circ}C$, 1200${\circ}C$의 온도로 소성하였다. 소성온도가 증가함에 따라 모든 시편에서 흡수율은 낮아지고 압축 강도는 증가하였다. 소성온도가 1100${\circ}C$ 이하인 경우 fly ash의 함량이 증가함에 따라 흡수율은 증가하고 강도가 감소하였다. 이에 비하여 소성온도가 1150${\circ}C$ 이상인 경우 흡수율은 소성온도가 낮은 경우와 유사한 경향을 보였으나 강도는 증가하였다.

매개효과 검정기법으로 널리 사용하고 있는 Baron and Kenny 접근법, Sobel, Aroian, Goodman 검정법들의 통계적 검정력이 약할 뿐만 아니라, 정확하지 않다는 비판이 대두되면서, bootstrapping 기법이 대안으로 제시되고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 bootstrapping 기법을 토대로 세 개 이상의 변수로 구성된 다중매개모델에서의 매개효과 검정을 위해 가상의 phantom 변수를 도입하여 검정하였다. 특히, 경영전략분야의 자원기준관점 연구에서 진행되고 있는 조직자원과 매개변수 흡수능력, 그리고 기술사업화역량 관계 모델을 다중매개모델로 설정하여, bootstrapping 접근방법과 phantom 변수 설정을 통해 총간접효과 크기와 유의확률을 계산하고, 흡수능력의 매개효과를 검정하였다. 검정결과 매우 효율적이고, 체계적인 매개효과 검정이 가능하였음을 확인할 수 있었으며, 인적자원과 물적자원의 자원 특성에 따라 흡수능력의 매개 특성도 차이가 있음을 확인하였다.

Background: Evaluation of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-strand break is important to elucidate the biological effect of ionizing radiations. The conventional methods for DNA-strand break evaluation have been achieved by Agarose gel electrophoresis and others using an electrical property of DNAs. Such kinds of DNA-strand break evaluation systems can estimate DNA-strand break, according to a molecular weight of DNAs. However, the conventional method needs pretreatment of the sample and a relatively long period for analysis. They do not have enough sensitivity to detect the strand break products in the low-dose region. Materials and Methods: The sample is water, methanol and plasmid DNA solution. The plasmid DNA pUC118 was multiplied by using Escherichia coli JM109 competent cells. The resonance frequency and Q-value were measured by means of microwave dielectric absorption spectroscopy. When a sample is located at a center of the electric field, resonance curve of the frequency that existed as a standing wave is disturbed. As a result, the perturbation effect to perform a resonance with different frequency is adopted. Results and Discussion: The resonance frequency shifted to higher frequency with an increase in a concentration of methanol as the model of the biological material, and the Q-value decreased. The absorption peak in microwave power spectrum of the double-strand break plasmid DNA shifted from the non-damaged plasmid DNA. Moreover, the sharpness of absorption peak changed resulting in change in Q-value. We confirmed that a resonance frequency shifted to higher frequency with an increase in concentration of the plasmid DNA. Conclusion: We developed a new technique for an evaluation of DNA damage. In this paper, we report the evaluation method of DNA damage using microwave dielectric absorption spectroscopy.

The magnetron, a vacuum tube, is currently the usual high-power microwave power source used for microwave heating. However, the oscillating frequency and output power are unstable and noisy due to the low quality of the high-voltage power supply and low Q of the oscillation circuit. A heating system with enhanced reliability and the capability for control of chemical reactions is desired, because microwave absorption efficiency differs greatly depending on the object being heated. Recent studies on microwave high-efficiency power amplifiers have used harmonic processing techniques, such as class-F and inverse class-F. The present study describes a high-efficiency 100 W GaN-HEMT amplifier that uses a harmonic processing technique that shapes the current and voltage waveforms to improve efficiency. The fabricated GaN power amplifier obtained an output power of 50.4 dBm, a drain efficiency of 72.9%, and a power added efficiency (PAE) of 64.0% at 2.45 GHz for continuous wave operation. A prototype microwave heating system was also developed using this GaN power amplifier. Microwaves totaling 400 W are fed from patch antennas mounted on the top and bottom of the microwave chamber. Preliminary heating experiments with this system have just been initiated.

The X-ray binary pulsar Her X-1 was observed with Ginga on 1988 August 28 during the orbital phase of 0.76 to 0.85 at the main-on phase of the 35 day cycle. During the observations the X-ray intensity varied by a factor of five or more on a time scale as short as 30 sec, due mostly to the soft X-ray absorption in the pre-eclipse phase. From the studies of pulse profiles and energy spectra, we revealed that there exists in the dipphase an unpulsed component which is "3% of the intensity at the non-absorbed high-level. We suggest that scattering of the source continuum by the optically thin hot corona is responsible for the unpoised component. In the spectral analysis, we find that the high-state non-absorbed spectra can be fitted by a power-law without absorption, and the spectra observed in the different abgorption states by two components of a power-law with the same photon index. An iron-K emission line is required in to the cases of fitting. The estimated equivalent width of the iron line varies from 0.18 to 0.51 key according to the change in the absorption column density along the line of sight. We suggest that the fluorescent iron line arises in a cool and relatively small region, like the Alfvensur face, and may be partially intercepted by the optically thick gas cloud passing across the line of sight.1 Korea Astronomy Observatorya The Institute of Space and Astronautical Science in Japan3 Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology

석탄 화력발전소에서 발생되는 바닥재와 준설토를 이용하여 인공경량골재를 제조하였다. 소성 옹도별, 골재 조 성별, 그리고 석회석($CaCO_3$)을 코팅 양별 비교를 통하여 골재 표면에 형성된 융제량의 변화, 비중, 흡수율, 절단면 관찰 등의 골재 물성 비교가 수행되었다. 결론적으로 골재 무게비 $CaCO_3$ 10%를 골재 표면에 코팅하여 표면개질을 암으로써 골재 내부의 거대 기공의 형성을 억제시켜 비중을 조절할 수 있었으며, 표면 융제를 대폭 감소시켜 골재간 융착 현상을 방지할수 있으며, 흡수율 또한 효과적으로 감소시켜 경량골재를 포함한 경량콘크리트 타설시 펌핑 문제를 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.
