In this study, we conducted the approximate multi-objective optimization of gap sizes of pressurized-water reactor (PWR) annular fuels. To determine the contacting tendency of the inner-outer gaps between the annular fuel pellets and cladding, thermoelastic-plastic-creep (TEPC)analysis of PWR annular fuels was performed, using in-house FE code. For the efficient heat transfer at certain levels of stress, we investigated the tensile, compressive hoop stress and temperature, and optimized the gap sizes using the non-dominant sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II). For this, response surface models of objective and constraint functions were generated, using central composite (CCD) and D-optimal design. The accuracy of approximate models was evaluated through $R^2$ value. The obtained optimal solutions by NSGA-II were verified through the TEPC analysis, and we compared the obtained optimum solutions and generated errors from the CCD and D-optimal design. We observed that optimum solutions differ, according to design of experiments (DOE) method.

This work deals with the electrical conductivity of dielectric on output parameters such as metal removal rate and surface roughness value of a carbon steel(SM25C) and sintered carbides cut by wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM). Dielectric has several functions like insulation, ionization, cooling, the removal of waste metal particles. The presence of minute metal particles(debris) in spark gap contaminates and lowers the breakdown strength of dielectric. And it is considered that too much debris in spark gap is generally believed to be the cause of arcing. Experimental results show that increases of cobalt amount in carbides affects the metal removal rate and worsens the surface quality as a greater quantity of solidified metal deposits on the eroded surface. Lower electrical conductivity of the dielectric results in a lower metal removal rate because the gap between wire electrode and workpiece reduced. Especially, the surface characteristics of rough-cut workpiece and wire electrode were analyzed too. Debris were analyzed also through scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and surface roughness tester. Micro cracks and some of electrode material are found on the workpiece surface by energy dispersive spectrometer(EDS).

A development of smart materials is becoming a prominent issue on present industries. A smart material, included in functions, is needed for micro fabrication. A shape memory alloy(SMA) in a smart material is best known material. Ni-Ti alloy, composed of nikel and titanium is one of the best shape memory alloy(SMA). Nitinol SMA is used for a lot of high tech industry such as aero space, medical device, micro actuator, sensor system. However, Ni-Ti SMA is difficult to process to make a shape and fabrications as traditional machining process. Because nitinol SMA, that is contained nikel content more than titanium content, has similar physical characteristics of titanium. In this paper, the characteristics of ECM grooving process for nitinol SMA are investigated by experiments. The experiments in this study are progressed for power, gap distance and machining time. The characteristics are found each part. Fine shape in work piece can be found on conditions; current 6A, duty factor 50%, gap distance 15%, gap distance $15{\mu}m$, machining time 10min.

Cells are constantly exposed to endogenous and exogenous chemical and physical agents that damage their genome by forming DNA lesions. These lesions interfere with the normal functions of DNA such as transcription and replication, and need to be either repaired or tolerated. DNA lesions are accurately removed via various repair pathways. In contrast, tolerance mechanisms do not remove lesions but only allow replication to proceed despite the presence of unrepaired lesions. Cells possess two major tolerance strategies, namely translesion synthesis (TLS), which is an error-prone strategy and an accurate strategy based on homologous recombination (homology-dependent gap repair [HDGR]). Thus, the mutation frequency reflects the relative extent to which the two tolerance pathways operate in vivo. In the present paper, we review the present understanding of the mechanisms of TLS and HDGR and propose a novel and comprehensive view of the way both strategies interact and are regulated in vivo.

The wavelength dependence of the photoacoustic signal for n-type GaAs semiconductors in the region of the band-gap energies was investigated. The significant changes in the phase and amplitude of the photoacoustic signal near the band-gap absorption wavelengths were observed to occur when the Si-doping densities in GaAs were varied. Particularly, the first derivatives of the photoacoustic phase vs. wavelength graphs were evaluated and fitted with single Gaussian functions. The peak centers and the widths of the Gaussian curves clearly showed linear relationships with the log values of the Si-doping densities in n-type GaAs semiconductors. It is proposed that the wavelength-dependent PA spectroscopy can be used as a simple and nondestructive method for measuring the doping densities in bulk semiconductors.

This paper presents the contact thermal behaviors of mechanical seals depending on the contacting face geometry. Using the finite element analysis, the temperature distribution, thermal distortion and leakage have been analyzed as functions of sealing gap and rotating speed of the seal ring shaft. The FE results indicate that the inclined contacting face may be more effective and stable based on the results of thermal characteristic analysis if the seal ring has been designed with a same thermal capacity between conventional rectangular sealing faces and inclined seating surface of seal rings.

In this work, thermal evaporation system was employed to deposit thin films of SiC on glass substrates in order to determine the parameters of them. Measurements included transmission, absorption, Seebak effect, resistivity and conductivity, absorption coefficient, type of energy band-gap, extinction coefficient as functions of photon energy and the effect of increasing film thickness on transmittance. Results explained that SiC thin film is an n-type semiconductor of indirect energy band-gap of ${\sim}3eV$, cut-off wavelength of 448nm, absorption coefficient of $3.4395{\times}10^{4}cm^{-1}$ and extinction coefficient of 0.154. The experimental measured values are in good agreement with the typical values of SiC thin films prepared by other advanced deposition techniques.

CFD analysis including optimization process was conducted to design shell and tube CO₂ methanation reactor cooling system. The high-pressure saturated water flowed into the cooling system and was evaporated by heat flux from reacting tubes. The optimization process decided the gap between tubes and reactor diameter to satisfy objective functions related to temperature. The results showed that the gap and diameter reduced about 30% and 3.6% respectively. Averaged surface temperature satisfied the target value and the min-max deviation was minimized.

Recent submillimeter observations of ALMA reveal that many protoplanetary disks contain substructures like gaps or rings. The disk-planet interaction is believed to be the most likely gap formation scenario, and most previous numerical work attempted to constrain the planet mass using the density profiles of gas in the gaps. Since the dust and gas distributions likely differ from each other in protoplanetary disks, however, perturbed rotational velocities that directly probe the gas would give a more reliable estimate to the planet mass. In this work, we run two-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations to measure the amplitudes and widths of rotational velocity perturbations induced by planets with different mass. We present the parametric relations of the gap widths and depths as functions of the planet mass and disk properties. We also apply our relations to HD 163296 to infer the masses of embedded planets.

본 연구는 수도권과 비수도권 근로자의 임금격차와 인적자본 수준 사이의 관계를 분석하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 보다 구체적으로 수도권 근로자가 비수도권 근로자보다 더 높은 수준의 임금을 받는 이유가 수도권 근로자의 인적자본 수준이 비수도권 근로자의 인적자본 수준보다 더 높기 때문인지 아니면 동일한 인적자본 수준을 가졌음에도 불구하고 수도권 근로자에게 더 높은 보상이 제공되기 때문인지에 대해 살펴보는 것이다. 본 연구는 무조건 분위회귀 분해법을 이용하여 수도권과 비수도권 근로자의 임금격차와 인적자본 사이의 관계가 임금 분위에 따라 상이하게 나타는지를 확인하고자 하였다. 또한 전통적인 인적자본 지표인 교육년수 및 직무훈련과 함께 인지 및 상호적 숙련, 기술적 숙련, 육체적 숙련 등 직종 숙련 수준을 고려하였다. 분석 결과에 따르면, 성별, 정규직 여부, 기업 규모 등의 변수들이 통제된 상태에서 수도권과 비수도권 근로자의 임금격차의 상당 부분이 인적자본 변수들에 의해 설명되는 것으로 나타났다. 인적자본의 질적인 차이로 인한 임금격차를 의미하는 인적자본의 구성 효과가 모든 임금 분위에서 존재하는 것으로 나타났지만, 수도권과 비수도권 근로자의 임금격차 문제에서 보다 중요하게 작용하는 요인은 인적자본의 임금구조 효과인 것으로 나타났다. 직종 숙련을 포함한 다양한 인적자본 변수들 중에서도 특히 교육년수의 임금구조 효과가 수도권과 비수도권 근로자의 임금격차를 설명하는 데에 있어 핵심적인 요인인 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 중위임금 또는 평균임금 수준에 초점을 두고 있는 전통적인 분석방법에서 벗어나 수도권과 비수도권 근로자 사이의 임금격차가 임금 분위에 따라 상이한 양상을 나타낼 수 있음을 무조건 분위회귀 분해를 통하여 밝혔다는 점에서 연구의 의의가 있다.
