This paper describes the properties of discharge current and the residual voltage for $^{60}$ C$_{0}$ -${\gamma}$ irradiated cables using in nuclear power generating station. As these properties related with $^{60}$ C$_{0}$ -${\gamma}$ -irradiatiation dose, it is suggested that these properties can be utilized as a index of irradiation degradation. As the ratio of degradation increases, the residual voltage in the initial time range increases and the peak moves to the shorter time. Therefore, I know the degree of radiation degradation from the position of the peak.

One of the most distinguished advantages of five-axis machining is that complex free surfaces(such as impeller) can be machined by one setup. Five-axis CNC machine, however, is very expensive so that its usage is restricted to a few large companies. As an economical approach to five-axis machining, this paper presents a method for machining the five-axis free surfaces(using ball-end mill) on a three-axis CNC machine with an index table. The method developed consists of: a) determining the minimum number of part setups and their interference-free and collision-free potential machining area, b) calculating actual machining area for each setup, and c) generating 3-axis cutter path for each part setup. The method has been successfully tested via computer simulations for several complex surfaces including impeller.

This paper presents a method to predict failure probability related to aging. To calculate failure probability, the Weibull distribution is used due to age-related reliability. The Weibull distribution has shape and scale parameters. Each estimated parameter is obtained from Data Analytic Method (Type II Censoring) which is relatively simpler and faster than the traditional calculation ways for estimating parameters. Also, this paper shows the calculation procedures of a probabilistic failure prediction through a stochastic data analysis. Consequently, the proposed methods would be likely to permit that the new deregulated environment forces utilities to reduce overall costs while maintaining an age-related reliability index.

The combustion of cellulose insulation treated with Borax, Boric acid and Aluminum Sulfate as combustion retardants is examined by candle type combustion tester. The cellulose fibers in cellulose insulation are classified by diameter as less than 0.2mm, 0.2mm-0.5mm, 0.5mm-2mm and more than 2mm. The burning behavior of cellulose insulation are studied by LOI (Limit Oxygen Index: Beginning point of smoldering), L- point (Lower point of combustion transition from smoldering- flaming to flaming combustion), LOI, L-point and H-point rise with the increasing particle size of cellulose fibers because thermal decomposition rate of cellulose fiber decreases. The phenomena of combustion transition from smoldering to flaming combustion are determined by the generating rate of combustible gas and the formation rate of combustible gas mixture within the zone of cellulose fiber heated.

Multilevel converters are being widely used in medium-voltage high-power applications including motor drive systems, utility power transmission, and distribution systems. Selective harmonic elimination (SHE) is a well-known modulation method to generate high quality output voltage waveforms. This paper presents a new simple practical method for generating a generalized five-level waveform without selected low order harmonics. This method is based on a phase-shifted expression for the SHE problem, which can analytically calculate the exact values of switching angles and the feasible modulation index range for three-level and five-level waveforms. The proposed method automatically determines the number of transitions between levels and generates proper output waveform without solving complex trigonometric equations. Due to the simplicity of the computational burden, the real-time implementation of the proposed algorithm can be performed by a simple processor. Simulation and experiment results verify the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed method.

The interest about Artificial Intelligence through the AlphaGo Match in Korea has been increasing rapidly. So far, very little has been done in Artificial Intelligence. The aim of this paper is to reveal technology convergence and to assess the country profile in the field of artificial intelligence(AI). Technology convergence map was created after extracting USPTO patent grants and Web of Science data and generating matrics in the field of AI. Several Indicators were obtained by extracting and calculating SCOPUS Data that KISTI has. According to USPTO patent grants, it shows that AI technology has a strong relationship with several sectors such as cost/price determination, image analysis, and surgery, etc. Also, AI has a active convergence with some fields of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, BioTechnologies, and Medicine etc. According to country profile analysis, Korea reaches a global average growth index. However, in terms of specialization index (SI) and average of relative citations (ARC), there is a large gap between Korea and research leading countries.

In this study, change trends and specific times for change in body size were sought to be identified by using manual measurements for Korean adult women at 20 to 89 of age, along with examinations of change trends and specific times of change in body shape based on body index values. The examinations of means, deviations, and variation coefficients revealed that there was a tendency of most height related measures to decrease. In addition, combined with decrease in height, growth in weight led to increased BMI, thus resulting in increase in measures of circumference, thickness, and breadth in the torso area. The BMI trends showed that with increasing age, BMI increased, reaching the peak between the ages of 55 and 59 and then decreasing from 64 of age, with the steepest increase in BMI at ages from 50 to 54. The examination of differences in the body flatness ratio for different parts of body found that with increasing age the ratio decreased, indicating a tendency for gradual change to round body shapes. The analysis of 3D body shape found that there were more back-bends and lowered shoulder levels with age, accompanied with a tendency for more bended legs and more inclined-forward necks. The key trends in changes in body measurements by age and detailed estimates of 3D standard body shape drawn out from this study are expected to significantly contribute to establishing a basic database for generating patterns reflecting age features of Korean adult females.
