The Passive containment Air-cooling System (PAS) can effectively remove the decay heat of the modular small nuclear reactor after an accident. The details of natural convection around the dome, which is a key part of PAS, were investigated numerically in the present study. The thermal dynamics around the dome were studied through the temperature, pressure and velocity contours and the streamlines. Additionally, the formation of the buoyant plume at the top of the dome was investigated. The results show that with the increase of Ra, the lift-off point moves toward the bottom of the dome, and the eddy under the buoyant plume grows larger gradually, which enhances the heat transfer. And the heat transfer along the dome surface with different truncation angles was investigated. As the angle increases, the heat transfer coefficient becomes stronger as well. Consequently, a newly developed heat transfer correlation considering the influence of truncation angle for the dome is proposed based on the simulated results. This study could provide a better understanding of natural convection around the dome of PAS and the proposed correlation could also offer more predictive value in the improvement of nuclear safety.

본 연구는 소수성 막 재질에 대한 막오염도를 평가하고자 수동흡착의 개념을 도입하여 정상운전을 위한 막 모듈 이외에 수동흡착 시험용 막 모듈을 설치하여 유출을 시키지 않은 상태에서 막 표면에 부착되는 미생물에 의한 막오염 정도를 분석함으로써 소수성 막오염 잠재성을 평가하고자 하였으며, 이때 운전조건으로 유기물 유입부하를 변화시켜 평가하였다. 이와 더불어 오염된 멤브레인을 세 가지 세정방법(두가지 물리적 세정과 화학적 세정)을 통해 막 세정 전후의 막오염 회복률을 평가하였다. 막오염 평가인자로는 반응조 내 MLSS 농도와 EPS 농도를 조사하였으며, 여과저항 값을 산정하여 막오염 전과 후, 세정 3단계 전과 후를 비교 평가하였다. 실험 결과로서, COD 농도가 750 mg/L인 가장 높은 부하량 조건에서 반응조 내 EPS 농도와 수동흡착 시험용 멤브레인의 여과저항 값이 가장 높게 나타났다. 또한 여과저항 값이 초기 운전 시작 후 차이를 보였지만 60일 이후의 최종 여과저항은 거의 일정하게 나타났는데, 이는 막 표면에 부착된 미생물량이 임계점에 이르러 수동흡착만으로는 더 이상의 막오염은 진행되지 않은 것으로 판단된다. PAds 상태에서 유기물 유입부하에 따른 오염된 막의 세정 전후의 여과저항 측정 결과에서는 3단계 세정 후 평균 회복률이 각각 Run 1이 78%, Run 2가 72%, Run 2가 69%로 유기물 부하가 높을수록 회복률이 떨어지는 것으로 나타났으며, 반면에 물리적 세정에 의한 복원률이 40일 경부터 Run 2와 Run 3의 물리적 세정에 의한 회복률이 낮아지는 것으로 보아 높은 유기물 부하로 인한 막표면의 케이크 형성으로 막오염이 심화된 것으로 판단된다.

This paper examines nursing professionals' English abstract to learn their preferences towards tense and voice choices. A total of 24 abstracts, completed reviews to be published by the editorial board members of the Korea Industrial Nursing Association, were analyzed for the study. Each sentence in the four parts of the abstract (Purpose, Methods, Results, and Conclusion) was examined and classified into active/passive voices, and present/past/present perfect tenses. Verbs were then further identified to see which ones were commonly preferred to state the objectives of the study, methods, and to draw conclusions. Hedging expressions in Conclusion were also examined. The results of the present study revealed that Purpose was mostly (79%) stated in the past tense with slight use (17%) of the present tense in the form of 58% active and 42% passive voice whereas Methods were dominantly (96%) illustrated in the past tense with preference of mixed active and passive voice. The Results were also preferably (92%) stated in past tense and Conclusion in both present and past tense. Verbs used by these nursing professionals seemed diverse; however, hedging appeared to be narrowly limited to a few expressions including suggest and should. More diverse English hedging expressions need to be taught at least college level writing so that the EFL learners and writers can have a better understanding of presenting statements in an appropriate level of caution, confidence, or uncertainty.

A study on passive cooling systems for concrete containment of advanced pressurized water reactors has been performed. The proposed passive containment cooling system (PCCS) consist of (1) condenser units located inside containment, (2) a steam condensing pool outside containment at higher elevation, and (3) downcommer/riser piping systems which provide coolant flow paths. During an accident causing high containment pressure and temperature, the steam/air mixture in containment is condensed on the outer surface of condenser tubes transferring the heat to coolant flowing inside tubes. The coolant transfers the heat to the steam condensing pool via natural circulation due to density difference. This PCCS has the following characteristic: (1) applicable to concrete containment system, (2) no limitation in plant capacity expansion, (3) efficient steam condensing mechanism (dropwise or film condensation at the surface of condenser tube), and (4) utilization of a fully passive mechanism. A preliminary conceptual design work has been done based on steady-state assumptions to determine important design parameter including the elevation of components and required heat transfer area of the condenser tube. Assuming a decay power level of 2%, the required heat transfer area for 1,000MWe plant is assessed to be about 2,000 ㎡ (equivalent to 1,600 of 10 m-long, 4-cm-OD tubes) with the relative elevation difference of 38 m between the condenser and steam condensing pool and the riser diameter of 0.62 m.

We propose a switched beam-forming antenna that satisfies not only ultra-wideband characteristics but also beam-forming in the WLAN frequency band using an ultra-wideband antenna and passive parasitic elements applying a broadband optimal reactance load algorithm. We design a power and phase estimation function and an error correction function by re-analyzing and normalizing all the components of the parasitic array using control system engineering. The proposed antenna is compared with an antenna with a pin diode and reactance load value, respectively. The pin diode is located between the passive parasitic elements and ground plane. An antenna beam can be formed in eight directions according to the pin diode ON (reflector)/OFF (director) state. The antenna with a reactance load value achieves a better VSWR and gain than the antenna with a pin diode. We confirm that a beam is formed in eight directions owing to the RF switch operation, and the measured peak gain is 7 dBi at 2.45 GHz and 10 dBi at 5.8 GHz.

본 논문에서는 jammer를 향하여 호밍하는 대함 유도탄에 대하여 적용할 수 있는 피동 거리추정필터를 제안하였다. 최근의 jammer는 상당히 먼 거리에서 jamming이 가능하므로, 제안된 필터는 필터 초기치 오차가 큰 경우에도 이를 신속히 제거하고 잘 동작할 수 있도록 설계되었다. 함대함 유도탄의 경우, 표적에 비하여 유도탄의 운동이 훨씬 주도적이므로 교전상황은 상대거리와 시선변화율을 상태변수로 하는 2차 시스템으로 모델링이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 이와같은 2차 모델에 근거한 확장칼만필터를 구성하고, 최소자승법을 이용한 초기치 오차 추정 알고리듬을 부가함으로써 새로운 피동 거리추정필터를 유도하였다. 제안된 필터는 필터의 초기치 오차가 상당히 큰 경우에도 적은 계산량으로 우수한 거리추정성능을 보여주었다.

The semi-active impact damper (SAID) is proposed to improve the damping efficiency of traditional passive impact dampers. In order to investigate its damping mechanism and vibration control effects on realistic engineering structures, a 20-story nonlinear benchmark building is used as the main structure. The studies on system parameters, including the mass ratio, damping ratio, rigid coefficient, and the intensity of excitation are carried out, and their effects both on linear and nonlinear indexes are evaluated. The damping mechanism is herein further investigated and some suggestions for the design in high-rise buildings are also proposed. To validate the superiority of SAID, an optimal passive particle impact damper ($PID_{opt}$) is also investigated as a control group, in which the parameters of the SAID remain the same, and the optimal parameters of the $PID_{opt}$ are designed by differential evolution algorithm based on a reduced-order model. The numerical simulation shows that the SAID has better control effects than that of the optimized passive particle impact damper, not only for linear indexes (e.g., root mean square response), but also for nonlinear indexes (e.g., component energy consumption and hinge joint curvature).

본 논문에서는 설계 요구가 높고, 전력 소모가 높은 opamp를 이용하는 기존의 능동형 적분기를, 수동형 적분기로 대체하여 고속의 저전력, 고해상도 특성을 갖는 incremental delta-sigma ADC를 소개한다. 능동형 적분기에서 수동형 적분기로의 변환을 위해, 기존의 능동형 적분기의 특성을 분석하였다. 이를 바탕으로 opamp의 설계 요구를 낮추고, 더 나아가 opamp를 사용하지 않는 저전력의 수동형 적분기를 제안하였다. 65nm 공정을 이용하여 수동형 적분기로 구성된 1차 single-bit incremental delta-sigma ADC를 설계하였다. Transistor-level 시뮬레이션 결과, 이는 supply 전압이 1.2V인 상황에서 modulator만 0.6uW, digital filter를 포함한 ADC 전체에서 6.25uW를 소모하며 BW 22KHz, SNDR 71dB, dynamic range 74.6dB을 달성하였다.

Energy induced by minor earthquake and micro vibration cannot be dissipated by traditional buckling-restrained braces (BRBs). To solve this problem, a new type of hybrid passive control device, named as VE-BRB, which is configured by a BRB with high-damping viscoelastic (VE) layers, is developed and studied. Theoretical analysis, performance tests, numerical simulation and case analysis are conducted to study the seismic behavior of VE-BRBs. The results indicate that the combination of hysteretic and damping devices lead to a multi-phased nature and good performance. VE-BRB's working state can be divided into three phases: before yielding of the steel core, VE layers provide sufficient damping ratio to mitigate minor vibrations; after yielding of the steel core, the steel's hysteretic deformations provide supplemental dissipative capacity for structures; after rupture of the steel core, VE layers are still able to work normally and provide multiple security assurance for structures. The simulation results agreed well with the experimental results, validating the finite element analysis method, constitutive models and the identified parameters. The comparison of the time history analysis on a 6-story frame with VE-BRBs and BRBs verified the advantages of VE-BRB for seismic protection of structures compared with traditional BRB. In general, VE-BRB had the potential to provide better control effect on structural displacement and shear in all stages than BRB as expected.

국가의 임의적인 침해로부터 국민의 재산권과 자유권을 보호하려는 소극적인 법치국가의 역할은 오늘날 의회민주주의 시대에는 더 이상 의미를 찾을 수 없게 되었다. 왜냐하면 오늘날 개인에게 기회와 사회보장적 급부를 제공하는 국가의 역할은 자유로운 삶을 유지하는데 있어서 기본권을 침해하지 않아야 하는 것 못지않게 중요하게 되었기 때문이다. 기본권을 침해하지 않는 소극적 국가에서 기본권을 보호할 뿐만 아니라 실현하는 적극적 국가로 현대국가의 역할이 변한 것이다. 그러므로 현대 의회민주주의에서 고전적인 법치국가 기능의 발전적 변화는 국민의 기본권 보호와 실현을 위해서 의회의 더 책임 있는 입법 활동을 요구한다. 따라서 현대국가에서 기본권 중의 하나로 인식되는 사회적 기본권의 구현에 있어서도 의회의 적극적인 입법 활동이 요청된다. 그러나 행정부에 입법권을 과도하게 위임하는 한국 국회는 사회적 기본권의 구현에 있어서 현대 의회민주주의가 요구하는 기준을 충족시키지 못하고 있다.
