The inlet coolant temperature reduction technique has been used to extend the load follow operation further in the end-of-cycle-life(EOL). In order to simulate the technique and calculate the nuclear characteristics of a PWR core according to the load follow operation, the three dimensional computing system has been established. The analysis was performed in both MINB and SPINR modes of typical 12-3-6-3 locad follow operation for the EOL of KNU-1 plant. Moreover, the capability of return-to-power has been also tested for those two modes with the system analysis by the RETRAN-02 code. The results show that it has no difficulty to extend the load follow operation further in the EOL by applying the inlet coolant temprature reduction, and also the spinning reserve capacity(SRC) increases by 13% in MINB mode and 14% in SPINR mode Bore that used by control rods only, for 14$^{\circ}$ F drop in the inlet temperature.

Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes are recently emerged due to its excellent performance. The standard for European high definition satellite digital video broadcast, DVB-S2 has adopted LDPC codes as a channel coding scheme. This paper proposes a DVB-S2 LDPC decoder architecture using a hybrid parity check matrix which is efficient in hardware implementation for both decoders and encoders. The hybrid H-matrices are constructed so that both the semi-random technique and the partly parallel structure can be applied to design encoders and decoders. Using the hybrid H-matrix scheme, the architecture of LDPC decoder for DVB-S2 can be very practical and efficient. In addition, we show a new Variable Node processor Unit (VNU) architecture to reuse the VNU for various code rates and optimized block memory placement to reuse. We design a DVB-S2 LDPC decoder of code rate 1/2 usng the proposed architecture. We estimate the performance of the DVB-S2 LDPC decoder and compare it with other decoders.

Avionics System Integration Laboratory is the integrated test environment for integration and verification of avionics systems. When real equipment can not be used in the laboratory for various reasons, software models should be needed. Because there hasn't been any standardized method for the models so that it is difficult to reuse the developed models, the need for a framework to develop the avionics software models was emerged. We adopted DEVS(discrete event system specification) formalism as the standardized modeling method for the avionics software models. Due to DEVS formalism is based on event-driven algorithm, it doesn't accord a legacy system which has sequential and periodic algorithms. In this paper, we propose real-time event-driven modeling and simulation method for SIL to overcome these restrictions and to maximize reusability of avionics models through the analysis of the characteristics and the limitations of avionics models.

The Jeonju-Il mine tailings contain large quantities of $SiO_2\;and\;Al_2O_3$ and lesser quantities of metallic components. In this study, we studied about the possibility of using mine tailings as a raw material in various industries. it was found that the sintered mine tailings had a good quality in every respect such as chromaticity, firing shrinkage and water absorption etc. Therefore if can substitute clay mineral in the ceramic industry. Also it can substitute about 2.94% of the raw materials of ordinary portland cement. We can use the coarse tailing as the fine aggregate for the ready-mixed mortar; and the fine tailing, as the filler for the bituminous paving mixture; because both products were not only suitable for Korea industrial standard in quality, but also environmentally harmless.

This study identified and quantified the hidden flows for steel and iron production in Korea using MIPS (Material Input per Service) methodology. In order to estimate the input orientated impact on the environment caused by the manufacture or services of a product, MIPS indicates the quantity of resources used for this product or service. In 2005, 71 million tons of raw materials were used to produce $17.6 million of added value and 4.8 thousand tons of finished steel. The amount of natural resources extracted from natural environments for the purpose of steel production was 245 million tons of TMR(Total Material Requirement), 1524 million tons of water, and 34 million tons of air. The material intensities for steel production by natural inputs (raw materials and energy) was 4.3 ton/ton of TMR, 28 ton/ton of water, and 0.5 ton/ton of air.

Existing methods of object tracking use template matching, re-detection of object boundaries or motion information. The template matching method requires very long computation time. The re-detection of object boundaries may produce false edges. The method using motion information shows poor tracking performance in moving camera. In this paper, a robust object tracking algorithm is proposed, using projected motion and histogram intersection. The initial object image is constructed by selecting the regions of interest after image segmentation. From the selected object, the approximate displacement of the object is computed by using 1-dimensional intensity projection in horizontal and vortical direction. Based on the estimated displacement, various template masks are constructed for possible orientations and scales of the object. The best template is selected by using the modified histogram intersection method. The robustness of the proposed tracking algorithm has been verified by experimental results.

Firm real time transactions on firm real-time database systems arc discarded when they miss their deadlines. as there is no value to completing them after they miss their deadlines. Several approaches that exploit the semantics of firm deadlines to improve the performance of firm real-time database systems have been proposed in the literature. They are based Oil locking or optimistic concurrency controL The performance comparisons of the two approaches differ with svstems load. In this paper. we develop a novel policy termed stop/resume deferred restart policy, and a concurrency control algorithm based on the policy (temled Altcmativc Version Concurrency Contro). When conflicts : due to Pliority) occur our algmithm maintains the immediately restarted VerSlOn as wpll as the stopped version of a transaction in order to use one of the two to meet the firm deadline. At last we show that our policy generates scrializable schedules and show tbat our algorithm performs better than the traditionally used method for wide ranges of the system load for firm deadline transaction.

However a mobile application has limited compatibility to other platforms and device. So a mobile application should be rebuilt as particular restrictions of platforms or mobile phones when the mobile application is reused for other platforms. However a mobile application has limited compatibility to other platforms and device. So a mobile application should be rebuilt as particular restrictions of platforms or mobile phones when the mobile application is reused for other platforms. This paper ascertains problems when a mobile application is transplanted for reusing into other platforms, and suggests to evaluation systems of portability's quality that we can check the portability convenience of the existing mobile application. As we confirm its grade that shows convenience of suggested portability, we are able to check problems issued when a mobile application implants to other platforms. Then it is expected that we can check capability of rebuilding and endeavor rate. Also if the method will be considered at the first step of designing a mobile application, it will be the best way to develop the better mobile application that we can easily implant many other mobile platforms.

The study proposes component models in developing an efficient platform for internet-based structural analysis. Since a structural analysis requires an operation of complicated algorithms, a client-side computation using X-Internet is preferred to a server-side computation to provide a flexible service for multi-users. To compete with the user-friendly interfaces of available commercial analysis programs, a window-based interface using Smart Client was applied. Also, component-based programming was performed with the considerations on reusability and expandability so that active Preparation for future change or modification could be feasible. The components describe the whole system by subdivision and simplification. In the relationship between upper-and lower-level components and also in the relationship between components and objects, a unified interface was used to clearly classify the connection between the libraries. By performing data communication between different types of platforms using XML WebService, a conner-stone of data transfer is proposed for the future integrated CAE. The efficiency of the developed platform has been examined through a sample structural analysis and design on planar truss structures.

대형 상용차용 내연기관에서 방출되는 소음의 음압 레벨은 경우에 따라 140dBA 이상으로 환경소음 배출규제에 부합되는 배출 소음을 위하여는 소음기의 적절한 설계가 필요하다 하겠다. 소음기는 방출 소음을 저감시키는 기본적인 작용 이외에 엔진의 효율을 저하시키는 배압(back-pressure) 상승의 효과를 동반할 뿐만 아니라 차체에의 장착을 위하여 크기와 무게의 제약을 받는다. 따라서 소음기는 설계자의 경험과 과거에 사용되어 온 소음기에 대한 이해, 소음기를 구성하는 단위 요소에 대한 음향학적 해석이론, 제작 과정에서의 경험과 튜닝 등에 바탕을 두고 설계되어져 왔다. 본 연구에서는 대형 상용차에 장착되는 기존 소음기 구성요소의 투과 손실(Transmission Loss: TL)을 전달 행렬법으로 해석하여 음향학적 특성을 규명하고 개별 소음기 요소에 대한 기존의 연구 결과를 바탕으로 공명기와 다공 요소를 이용하여 기존 소음기를 재설계함으로써 배출 소음의 저감을 이루어 나간 과정을 소개하고 이를 적용 사례를 중심으로 살펴보고 있다. 소음기의 설계를 위하여 고려할 수 있는 음향학적 요소는 그 기능과 형태면에서 다양하나 본 연구에서는 대형 상용차용 소음기에 주로 사용 가능한 공명기와 다공관을 주된 설계요소로 생각하였다. 공명기는 공명 주파수 대역의 소음을 저감하는 역할을 하므로 일정한 엔진 회전수 하에서 엔진의 방출 소음중 폭발 성분에 의한 소음을 줄이는데 효과적으로 사용될 수 있지만 가속 주행시에는 회전수(rpm)의 변화에 따라 폭발 주기가 변화하게 되므로 공명기의 설계에 주의를 기울여야 한다. 내연 기관용 소음기에 빈번하게 쓰이는 다공 요소의 해석 방법으로는 Sullivan[1], Kim and Yoon[2] 등의 분할 접근 방법(Segmentation approach)과 Jayaraman and Yam[3], Munjal[4], Peat[5] 등의 연성 제거 방법(Decoupling Approach)등이 제시되었고 평면파 영역에 한하여 해서되어져 왔다. 본 논문에서는 분할 접근 방법(Segmentation Approach)을 이용하여 다공 요소로 이루어진 소음기를 해석하는데 적용하였다.
