The multigroup transport theory is the basis for many neutronics modules. A significant point of the cross-section (XS) generation procedure is the choice of the energy groups' boundaries in the XS libraries, which must be carefully selected as an unsuitable energy meshing can easily lead to inaccurate results. This decision can require considerable effort and is particularly difficult for the common user, especially if not well-versed in reactor physics. This work investigates a genetic algorithm-based tool which selects an appropriate XS energy structure (ES) specific for the considered problem, to be used for the condensation of a fine multigroup library. The procedure is accelerated by results storage and fitness calculation speedup and can be easily parallelized. The extension is applied to the coupled code SIMMER and tested on the European Sustainable Nuclear Industrial Initiative (ESNII+) Advanced Sodium Technological Reactor for Industrial Demonstration (ASTRID)-like reactor system with different fitness functions. The results show that, when the libraries are condensed based on the ESs suggested by the algorithm, the code actually returns the correct multiplication factor, in both reference and voided conditions. The computational effort reduction obtained by using the condensed library rather than the fine one is assessed and is much higher than the time required for the ES search.

How to generate the precise broad group cross section is important for the fast reactor design. In this study, a fast reactor multi-group cross-section generation code MGGC2.0 are developed in-house for processing ultrafine group MATXS format library. Validation and verification are performed for MGGC2.0 code by applying the benchmarks of ICSBEP handbook, and the results of MGGC2.0 agree well with that of MCNP. The consistent P_N method with critical buckling search is in good agreement that condensed with TWODANT flux and flux moment for the inner core and outer core region. For the radial blanket and reflector, two region approximation method has been applied in MGGC2.0 by using collision Probability Method neutron flux solver. The RBEC-M benchmark was used to verify the power distribution calculation, and the relative error of power distribution comparison with the reference are less than 0.8% in the fuel region and the maximum relative error is 5.58% in the reflector region. Therefore, the precise broad cross section can be generated by MGGC2.0 for fast reactor.

태백산분지 백운산향사대의 남익부를 따라 약 30 m 두께로 노출되어 있는 오오도비스 중기의 직운산셰일층은 그동안 탄산염 대지환경에서 퇴적된 막골석회암층를 피복하는 해침상의 셰일층으로 단순히 해석되어져 왔다. 그러나 본 연구의 결과들은 직운산셰일층 대부분이 직운산셰일층 하부구간에 나타나는 유기물질이 풍부한(>3 wt.%) 흑회색 셰일로 구성된 약 240 cm 두께의 최대해침기 동안에 퇴적된 박층의 해성층 위를 피복하는 해퇴상의 셰일층으로 해석될 수 있음을 지시한다. 정밀 층서 분석과 병행하여 실시한 주성분원소 분석, 조성광물 분석, 미량원소 분석 및 총유기탄소와 무기탄소 분석은 직운산셰일층 하부구간에 나타나는 박층의 해성층을 고수위기 초기 동안에 밀도변환면이 확장됨에 따라 형성된 특징적인 무산소환경에서 퇴적된 응축층으로 규정하기를 허락한다. 아울러 직운산셰일층 하부구간 내에서 해침면, 최대해침면, 최소퇴적감소면, 해퇴개시면과 같은 시퀀스층서학적 또는 환경학적으로 의미가 있는 뚜렷한 특징의 층서면들이 인지되었다. 이러한 층서면들은 향후 태백산분지 내 오오도비스 중기 퇴적층들의 정교한 지역간 층서대비 및 구조운동에 따른 층서적 변이와 함께 분지발달사에 대한 종합적인 이해를 이끌어 내는데 매우 유용한 정보들을 제공해 줄 수 있다.

증숙단계별 고려홍삼의 조직학적 특성을 조사하기 위하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. 시료는 6년근 고려인삼을 60분, 120분동안 증숙한 후 수분함량을 $13{\pm}0.5%$ 까지 건조 후, 수직 수평으로 절단하였다. 조직은 표피, 피층, 목질부로 구분하여 주사전자현미경으로 비교 관찰하였다. 증숙 없이 건조된 시료는 세포막이 유지되고 그 안에 전분입자의 결정성이 유지되어 있었다. 반면에 증숙시간이 연장될수록 호화 후 건조에 따른 수축으로 인하여 조직이 치밀하여지고, 세포조직 사이의 도관, 수지관 등의 동공 및 세포막의 구분이 없어진 것이 특징이었다. 또한 수산화칼슘 족정은 증숙시간 60분 이상에서는 발견되지 않았다. 이러한 원인은 내용성분이 호화 된 후 건조로 인해 조직이 수축되기 때문으로 생각된다. 이로서 증숙단계에 따른 홍삼 조직의 분명한 특성을 비교 관찰할 수 있었다.

In the modern packaging technologies highly condensed metal interconnects are typically formed by highcost processes. These methods inevitably require the precise controls of mutually dependant process parameters, which usually cause the difficulty of the change in the layout design for interconnects of chip to-chip, or chip-to-substrate. In order to overcome these problems, the unique concept and methodology of self-assembly even in micro-meter scale were developed. In this report we focus on the factors which influenced the self-formed bumps by analyzing the phenomenon experimentally. In case of RMA flux, homogenous pattern was obtained in both plain surface and cross-section surface observation. By using RA flux, the phenomena were accelerated although the self-formtion results was inhomogenous. With ussage of moderate RA flux, reaction rate of the self-formation was accelerated with homogeneous pattern.

In order to investigate the spermiogenesis of the Korean Native Jin-do dog, the tissue sampled from the testis and the epididymis of matured dog were conventionally prepared as thin sections. And then these sections were observed under a transmission electron microscope. Based on the development of various permanent organelle and certain transient structures, the spermiogenesis of the dog could be divided into four major phases: Golgi, cap, acrosome and maturation; and these phases had been futher subdivided into seven stages. In the maturatin phase, the karyoplasm has been condensed completely and the nucleus eleongated as the movement of the unclear ring. The equatorial segment has notable waist-form at the late acrosomal stage. In the cross section of the tail, it shows a typicl 9＋9＋2 pattern of the axial fiber bundle condisting of the dense fibers, the inner fibers, and a central pair. The dense fiber number 1, 5, 6, and 9 were larger in diameter than the rest of the dense fibers.

This paper presents a dynamic analysis of three-dimensional beams. Structures made of functionally graded materials are considered. Several higher-order as well as classical theories are derived by means of a compact notation for the a-priori expansion order of the displacement field over the beam cross-section. The governing differential equations and boundary conditions are obtained in a condensed nuclear form that does not depend on the kinematic hypotheses. The problem is, then, exactly solved in space by means of a Navier-type solution, whereas time integration is performed by means of Newmark's solution scheme. Slender and short simply supported beams are investigated. Results are validated towards three-dimensional FEM results obtained via the commercial software ANSYS. Numerical investigations show that good accuracy can be obtained through the proposed formulation provided that the appropriate expansion order is considered.

This experimental study investigated the flow motion of the working fluid for various diameters of miniature thermosyphons and the performance characteristics for the various amount of the working fluid. The temperatures of condenser surface were measured and visual observations were conducted. The test results show that some fluid condensed in the tube diameters of 0.18cm and 0.22cm is not returned to the evaporator section due to capillary effect so that large temperature gradients are measured. To enhance returning the working fluid, one copper wire of 0.5mm diameter was inserted and the test results show good performance. When the liquid charge was less than 10% in volume dry-out was occurred fur the thermosyphons of the inner diameter of 1.8mm and 2.2mm.

본 연구에서는 전처리 공정을 거친 천연가스로부터 에탄 이상의 성분을 회수하기 위한 탈메탄탑에 대한 전산모사와 공정 최적화를 수행하였다. 전처리된 천연가스는 탈메탄탑 상부의 차가운 기상류와의 열교환 및 프로판 냉동 사이클이 포함된 예냉공정을 거친 후에 기상과 액상이 분리된다. 기상은 터보 팽창기를 거치면서 생산되는 동력을 residue gas의 압력을 높이기 위한 압축기에 전달한 후에 부분적으로 응축되어 탈메탄탑 상부로 주입된다. 액상류는 줄-톰슨 팽창 밸브를 거친 후 더욱 냉각되어 탈메탄탑의 중간부로 주입된다. 원료 대비 에탄의 회수율은 75% 이상으로 정하였으며, 탈메탄탑의 탑저에서 에탄에 대한 메탄의 몰비는 0.015로 정하였다. 한편 프로판 냉동 사이클의 heat duty를 최소화시키기 위해서 원료를 분리하여 side reboiler와 열교환시킴으로써 냉열의 일부 회수할 수 있었다.
