The objective of this paper is to suggest a new quantification method for multi-unit probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) that removes the overestimation error caused by the existing delete-term approximation (DTA) based quantification method. So far, for the actual plant PSA model quantification, a fault tree with negates have been solved by the DTA method. It is well known that the DTA method induces overestimated core damage frequency (CDF) of nuclear power plant (NPP). If a PSA fault tree has negates and non-rare events, the overestimation in CDF drastically increases. Since multi-unit seismic PSA model has plant level negates and many non-rare events in the fault tree, it should be very carefully quantified in order to avoid CDF overestimation. Multi-unit PSA fault tree has normal gates and negates that represent each NPP status. The NPP status means core damage or non-core damage state of individual NPPs. The non-core damage state of a NPP is modeled in the fault tree by using a negate (a NOT gate). Authors reviewed and compared (1) quantification methods that generate exact or approximate Boolean solutions from a fault tree, (2) DTA method generating approximate Boolean solution by solving negates in a fault tree, and (3) probability calculation methods from the Boolean solutions generated by exact quantification methods or DTA method. Based on the review and comparison, a new intersection removal by probability (IRBP) method is suggested in this study for the multi-unit PSA. If the IRBP method is adopted, multi-unit PSA fault tree can be quantified without the overestimation error that is caused by the direct application of DTA method. That is, the extremely overestimated CDF can be avoided and accurate CDF can be calculated by using the IRBP method. The accuracy of the IRBP method was validated by simple multi-unit PSA models. The necessity of the IRBP method was demonstrated by the actual plant multi-unit seismic PSA models.

Modified Scheff's Method by Ura is an efficient method used very often in studying quality at a laboratory but, when panels are not well controlled and quality differences among samples are very small, it has sometimes been identified that it is impossible to detect quality differences by this method. Therefore in order to enhance efficiency to rank quality among samples, 'New Modified Scheffe's Method 1' is designed. Experimental results presented in this paper lead to the conclusion that detection is carried out more efficiently by 'New Modified Scheffe's Method 1' than by Modified Scheffe's Method by Ura, and also this title method can be utilized for the aim to train and control panels.

While promoting a variety of projects by using sea space, there has been a lot of social controversy among the stakeholders based on the results of the analysis. In particular, the benefits of fisheries sector were over-estimated and occurred a lot of opposition from fishermen and environment groups. In order to this solve, we have been studied focussed such as excavation of new projects, the method and result of the estimated benefits for fisheries sector. With regard to the tidal power plant of Garolim, we came up with five kinds of problems such as doing not reflect of the cost of the initial investment, over unit production, over unit price, excessive selection of breed, issues of cost of production in benefits study of fisheries sector derived previously. In order to these problems, we have derived new profitable projects based on the initial materials such as improvement of raising breed, discharge project of fingerlings and a small sea ranch project. As a result, previous study was analyzed in 30.2 billion won(1993), 54.8billion won(2009), but this study was estimated to 26.4 billion won and differences of benefits amount were occurred. In a previous study was calculated benefits by simple method, but this study came up with new projects for fisheries sector and because we estimated benefits considering new project. The method for benefits calculations for fisheries sector was not attempted in previous studies and in this study, we approached for the first time Also, in this study suggested new method to increase incomes fishermen such as development of suitable ranch breeding for the marine environment, ranch license(limited license), development of fisheries resources and the operation of fisheries facility. In the future, we hope to be helpful for the same field of study.

Cigarette warning pictures are one of the most effective smoking cessation policies, and this is an effective way to promote smoking cessation by conveying the risk of smoking through pictures. However, the recent advertisement of new cigarettes in retail stores has potentially increased tobacco purchase intention by weakening the effect of the warning picture. Therefore, this study examined the problems of the new cigarette advertisement method by analyzing the effect of this method on cigarette warning pictures. For this purpose, 275 men and women were surveyed nationwide, and this study compared the cognitive and emotional effects, and purchase intentions of the new cigarette advertisements with existing advertisement methods through MANCOVA. The results show that the new cigarette advertising method affects the emotions, cognitions, and purchase intentions related to the cigarette warning pictures and have adverse effects on the original purpose of the cigarette warning pictures. This implies that regulatory standards and institutional arrangements are necessary for effective new cigarette advertising.

The new asphalt surface reinforcement method (ASRM) is one of the preventive maintenance methods in asphalt concrete pavements. The adhesion performance of new ASRM satisfied the standard of non-slip pavement and bridge waterproofing materials. As a results of durability tests (as wheel load, rolling bottle and UV resistance test), the new ASRM showed sufficient resistance to traffic and environmental loads. The waterproof and chemical resistance tests of new ASRM were conducted to evaluate whether the pavement could be protected from water and chemicals and the performances of new ASRM were satisfactory. Furthermore, the new ASRM demonstrated some rejuvenation effects due to its toughness increases in recycled asphalt concrete mixture by 5% compared to the conventional hot mix asphalt mixture using reclaimed asphalt pavement. In conclusion, the new ASRM was evaluated to protect the asphalt concrete pavement and increase the lifetime.

Proposed is a new method to determine the characteristic lengths for the failure analysis of composite joint without experiments. New method uses the result that the stress distribution in the characteristic length specimens is linearly proportional to the applied load. The compressive characteristic lengths calculated by the present method are exactly same as the lengths obtained by the conventional method based on experiment. The new tensile characteristic length is defined using the strength of the notched laminate, while previous methods use the strength of the sound laminate. That change allows calculating the tensile characteristic length numerically without experiment like the compressive characteristic length. Finite element analyses are conducted by MSC/NASTRAN. The interface between the fastener and laminate is modeled by the contact surface element. The finite element results based on the new characteristic lengths show the excellent agreement with experimental results for the Graphite/Epoxy composite .joints.

A small camera module fabricated by including bare chip bonding methods is utilized to realize advanced mobile devices. One of the driving forces is the TOG (Tape On Glass) bonding method which reduces the packaging size of the image sensor clip. The TOG module is a new thinner and smaller image sensor module, using flip chip interconnection method with the ACP (Anisotropic Conductive Paste). The TOG production process was established by determining the optimum bonding conditions for both optical glass bonding and image sensor clip bonding lo the flexible PCB. The bonding conditions, including sufficient bonding margins, were studied. Another bonding method is the flip chip bonding method for DSP (Digital Signal Processor) chip. A new AC\ulcorner was developed to enable the short resin curing time of 10 sec. The bonding mechanism of the resin curing method was evaluated using FEM analysis. By using these flip chip bonding techniques, small camera module was realized.

Finite element method(FEM) is one of the most popularly used method analyzing the dynamic behaviors of structures. But unless number of finite elements is large enough, the results from FEM some what different from exact analytical solutions, especially at high frequency range. On the other hand, as the spectral analysis method(SAM) deals directly with the governing equations of a structure, the results from this melthod cannot but be exact regardless of any frequency range. However, the SAM can be applied only to the case where a structure is subjected to the concentrated loads, despite a structure could be unddergone distributed loads more generally. In this paper, therefore, new spectral analysis algorithm is introduced through the spectral element method(SEM), so that it can be applied to anlystructures whether they are subjected to the concentrated loads or to the distributed loads. The results from this new SEM are compared with both the results from FEM and the exact analytical solutions. As expected, the results from new SEM algorithm are found to be almost identical to the exact analytical solutions while those from FEM are not agreed well with the exact analytical solutions as the mode number increases.
