A non-invasive technique to measure absorption and scattering coefficients was investigated The reflected backscattered light from the surface of phantom and biological tissue was obtained by using a time-correlated single photon counting system in pico-second time domain. The absorption and scattering coefficients were acquired by the time of peak and asymptotic behavior of the time-resolved reflectance curve and agreed well the ones that is obtained with deconvolution method It was found that the approximation method was good for biological medium to calculate optical properties due to its convenience and accuracy.

The finite element method combined with the sensitivity method is adopted for 2-dimensionl Fourier transform inversion. To improve the efficiency of inversion calculation, multi-resolution wavelet method is proposed., Theoretical data which is obtained from above method is shown to examine the proposed method. Theoretical model assumes that underground cavity is located in limestone area. In theoretical model, 16 current and potential electrodes are located to get theoretical data. It is shown that the about inversion method is very exact and useful calculation method, in case the larger model is very small such as under ground cavity.

본 논문에서는 열분해 및 촉매반응의 의한 Hydrazine의 Ammonia 전환율을 연구하였다. 원자력발전소 2차 계통은 물/증기 순환계통으로 기기 및 배관의 부식을 억제하고, 증기발생기(Steam Generator, SG)의 부식생성물 유입을 최소하기 위해 전휘발성처리법(All Volatile Treatment, AVT)을 적용하여 계통수의 pH를 약염기성으로 유지하고 있다. 또한 Hydrazine을 이용하여 계통수의 용존산소제거 및 환원성 분위기를 유지하고 있다. 현재 사용되는 AVT는 대부분 단일 아민(Ammine)으로 계통 전 영역에서 pHt를 약염기성으로 유지하기 어렵다. 따라서 복합 아민을 이용하여 단일 아민의 상호단점을 보완한 수처리법을 적용해야한다. 하지만 복합 아민을 적용할 경우 추가 아민 주입설비, 설치부지, 시설유지보수 및 관리가 요구되므로 기존 주입약품을 이용하여 아민을 공급할 수 있는 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 Hydrazine의 열분해 및 촉매반응을 이용한 Ammonia 전환율을 조사하였다.

Sparse coding or independent component analysis (ICA) which is a holistic representation, was successfully applied to elucidate early auditor${\gamma}$ processing and to the task of sound classification. In contrast, parts-based representation is an alternative way o) understanding object recognition in brain. In this thesis we employ the non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) which learns parts-based representation in the task of sound classification. Methods of feature extraction from the spectro-temporal sounds using the NMF in the absence or presence of noise, are explained. Experimental results show that NMF-based features improve the performance of sound classification over ICA-based features.

The IR spectra of gaseous phenanthrene, phenathrenols, phenanthrenyl radicals, and hydroxylphenanthrene radicals have been obtained using the BLYP/6-311++G(d,p) method. A comparison of these spectra shows that the measurements of IR spectra can be valuable to identify the reaction pathway(s) of the phenanthrene decomposition reaction by ${\cdot}OH$. We have found that the H atom abstraction reaction process can be easily identifiable from the $650-850cm^{-1}$ (CH out-of-plane bending) region and the ${\cdot}OH$ addition reaction process from the CH stretching and bending modes region of IR spectra. In addition, the calculated IR spectra of all five phenanthren-n-ols (n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 9) have also given in this work.

The in-core fuel management problem was studied by use of the calculus of variations. Two functions of interest to a public power utility, the profit function and the cost function, were subjected to the constraints of criticality, the reactor turnup equations and an inequality constraint on the maximum allowable power density. The variational solution of the initial profit rate demonstrated that there are two distinct regions of the reactor, a constant power region and a minimum inventory or flat thermal flux region. The transition point between these regions is dependent on the relative importance of the profit for generating power and the interest charges for the fuel. The fuel cycle cost function was then used to optimize a three equal volume region reactor with a constant fuel enrichment. The inequality constraint on the maximum allowable power density requires that the inequality become an equality constraint at some points in the reactor. and at all times throughout the core cycle. The finite difference equations for reactor criticality and fuel burnup in conjunction with the equality constraint on power density were solved, and the method of gradients was used to locate an optimum enrichment. The results of this calculation showed that standard non-linear optimization techniques can be used to optimize a reactor when the inequality constraints are properly applied.

Agar is a cell wall component of macro red algae that can be hydrolyzed by agarase. Agarases are classified into ${\alpha}$-agarase (E.C. 3.2.1.158) and ${\beta}$-agarase (E.C. 3.2.1.81), in accordance with their cleavage pattern, and can be grouped in the glycoside hydrolase (GH)-16, -58, -86, -96, and -118 family according to the amino acid sequences of the proteins. Many agarases and/or their genes have been detected, isolated, and recombinantly expressed from bacteria, and metagenomes have their origins in sea and terrestrial environments. Products of agarases, agarooligosaccharides and neoagarooligosaccharides, represent wide functions such as antitumor, immune stimulation, antioxidation, prebiotic, hepa-protective, antibacterial, whitening, and moisturizing effects; hence, broad applications would be possible in the food industry, cosmetics, and medical fields. In addition, agarases are also used as a tool enzyme for research. This paper reviews the sources, purifications and detection methods, and application fields of agarases. The role of agarases in agar metabolism and the function of their enzymatic products are also surveyed.

An autocorrelation method is used in pitch estimation. Autocorrelation values in time and frequency domains, which have different characteristics, correspond to the pitch period and fundamental frequency, respectively. We utilize an integrated autocorrelation method in time and frequency domains. It can remove the errors of pitch doubling and having. In the time and frequency domains, pitch period and fundamental frequency have reciprocal relation to each other. Especially, fundamental frequency estimation ends up as an error because of the resolution of FFT. To reduce these artifacts, interpolation methods are applied in the integrated autocorrelation domain, which decreases pitch errors. Moreover, only for the pitch candidates found in a time domain, the corresponding frequency-domain autocorrelation values are calculated with reduced computational complexity. Using linear interpolation, we can decrease the required number of FFT coefficients by 8 times. Thus, compared to the conventional methods, computational complexity can be reduced by 9.5 times.

Infrared absorption spectra of alkyl alcohols in the OH stretching region were obtained from varying the concentrations of alcohols in $CCl_4$. The OH stretching bands were broadened and shifted to lower frequencies due to the hydrogen-bond formation. Three bands were obtained from the breakdown of these bands by the simplex method. Each band was assigned to various types of hydrogen-bonded OH groups. The electronic structures and interaction energies of dimeric and trimeric alcohols were calculated by semi-empirical MO(CNDO/2, INDO) methods. These results were in good agreement with those of deconvoluted ir spectra. The EDA(electron donor-acceptor) effect of alkyl group on hydrogen-bond formation was in the decreasing order of butyl > propyl > ethyl > methyl group. On the other hand, the experimental results were in the order : propyl > ethyl > butyl > methyl group. This seemed to be ascribed to the bulkiness of butyl alcohol.

편미분 방정식의 형태로 나타나는 많은 전자기장 문제들을 유한요소법이나 유한차분법 등의 수치해석적 방법으로 해결하려는 경우 시스템 행렬을 구성하게 된다. 이때 해석영역의 요소수가 많을수록 행렬의 조건수(condition number)는 다항식(polynomial) 증가를 갖게 되며, 이는 풀어야 할 선형시스템에서 반복 연산 과정의 속도를 떨어뜨리는 결과를 야기한다. 이러한 결과를 wavelet을 기저 함수로 쓰게 되면, 더 높은 분해능(resolution)의 해를 유한 요소법이나 유한 차분법에서와 같은 요소 분할 과정이 없이 Mallat 변환이라는 간단한 과정을 통해 구할 수 있으며, 본 논문에서는 Daubechies의 wavelet 함수를 기저 함수로 사용하여 전자기장 문제에 적용함으로서 수치해석에 있어서 wavelet 함수의 적용이 많은 장점을 갖고 있음을 보인다.
