In the pasteurization of escalator handrails using ultraviolet (UV) sterilizers, a combination of light distribution and escalator speed has priority over other important factors. Furthermore, since part of the escalator handrail has a curved structure, proper design is needed to improve the sterilization rate on the surfaces touched by users. In this paper, two types of sterilizers satisfying these conditions are manufactured with 275-nm UV-C LEDs, after modeling the three-dimensional (3D) structure of an escalator handrail and simulating optical distributions of UV-C irradiation on the handrail's surface according to light-emitting diode (LED) positions and reflector variations in the sterilizers. Pasteurization experiments with the UV-C LED sterilizers are conducted on six types of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, with exposure times of 0.2, 5, and 15 s at an actual installation distance of 20 mm. The sterilization rates for the gram-positive bacteria are 10.63% to 27.94% at 0.2 s, 89.44% to 96.30% at 5 s, and 99.64% to 99.88% at 15 s. Those for the gram-negative bacteria are 57.70% to 77.63% at 0.2 s, 98.90% to 99.49% at 5 s, and 99.88% to 99.99% at 15 s. The power consumption of the UV-C LED sterilizer is about 8 W, which can be supplied by a self-generation module instead of an external power supply.

Gongsanseong Fortress was registered of a World Heritage Site in 2015 as a representative cultural heritage from the Woongjin Baekje period, and it has been used throughout the entire period from Baekje Kingdom to the Joseon Dynasty. Within Gongsanseong Fortress, the area around Ssangsujeong is presumed the site of royal palace of the Woongjin Baekje. Also, the excavated culture layers of the Baekje Kingdom, the Unified Silla period, and the Joseon Dynasty were confirmed. In this study, paleotopography was modeled by digitally converting the elevation data obtained through surveying the excavation process, and the use of the topography in the Ssangsujeong area was considered by examining the variations in the topography according to the periods. As a result, the topography of the slope around the peak changed by periods, and the topography did not change on the flat land. The topography between the Baekje Kingdom and the Unified Silla period appeared to be almost identical, and it seems that the space of the Baekje period was maintained as it is. Also, during the Joseon Dynasty, it is confirmed that flat surfaces in the previous period were used. However, sediments on the slopes flowed down, reducing the area of the flatland, and architectural techniques that could utilize the natural topography of the changed slope were applied to interpret it as having a different topography from the previous period. In order to model and interpret the paleotopography, excavation data, geological and topographic analysis, and digital data must be secured. It is expected that location conditions and ancient human life can be identified if the analysis technique in the study is applied to other archaeological sites in the future.

'Eve 58-1', the subject of this study is a statue made of plaster and its structural stability was evaluated by utilizing the CAE program in order to prevent the risk of damage arising from impact and vibration that are generated during the packaging and transportation process given its material characteristics. CAE is an abbreviation for Computer Applied Engineering for realization by predicting changes at the time of application of virtual physical energy. It is applied by reflecting the physical property conditions and each boundary condition of plaster, and the digital images of the internal and external structure of the work were acquired through 3D scanning and CT analysis for interpretation by executing finite element modeling. When acceleration is applied to the work in the direction of its own weight, the left-right side and the front-rear side, it was possible to confirm a maximum displacement value of 15.24 mm in the head section of the front-rear side direction that has been tilted by approximately 27° from the Y-axis and the largest stress value of 12.46 MPa was at the left ankle section. The corresponding results confirmed that the left ankle section is the most vulnerable area and the section for which precautions need to be exercised and supplemented at the time of transporting the work by means of objective values.

하천 내 식생의 분포는 흐름저항의 증가와 수위상승에 큰 영향을 미치는 요소 중 하나이다. 동일한 단면정보를 가졌더라도 식생이 분포하는 하도는 식생이 없는 하도에 비해 흐름저항으로 인해 유속이 현저히 느려져 홍수위 상승을 유발하기 때문이다. 따라서 식생의 종류, 크기, 분포 형태, 잎의 밀도 등에 따라 흐름저항계수를 정량화하며 흐름을 정확히 예측하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 2019년 한국건설기술연구원 하천실험센터에서 진행된 식생하도에 대한 실규모 실험의 조건과 지형정보를 HEC-RAS(Hydrologic Engineering Center's River Analysis System) 1차원 수치모형에 입력하고, 식생 패치의 분포를 고려한 Manning's n의 공간적 분포 및 적용방식에 따른 수면 경사 재현 정확도에 대한 민감도 분석을 수행하였다. 실험은 상단 폭 11 m, 경사 1:2(V:H)의 사다리꼴 단면을 가진 실규모 수로에서 70 m 길이의 구간을 대상으로 진행되었다. 실험 구간 내 6개의 압력식 수위계를 설치해 수위 측정 및 수면 경사 산정을 실행하였다. 실험 조건으로 적용된 인공 식생패치의 분포 및 밀도 조건은 3가지로 큰 패치와 작은 패치로 구성된 조밀한 조건, 단일 패치로 구성된 조밀한 조건, 단일 패치로 구성된 성긴 조건이었으며, 모두 정수(emergent)상태로 진행되었다. 적용된 패치의 형상은 내성천에서 조사된 자연 형태의 식생패치 형태를 참고하였으며, 버드나무 종을 모사하였다. 실험 조건에 따라 유량은 각각 평균 1.5 cms와 2.7 cms로 공급하였으며, 평균 수심은 약 1 m로 측정되었다. 위 실험 내용을 바탕으로 수치모의를 위한 경계조건과 지형정보를 수립하였으며 모의 케이스는 크게 두 가지로, 수로 내 식생의 분포를 종방향으로 고려한 케이스와 횡방향으로 고려하여 조도계수를 적용한 케이스로 분류하였다. 모의에 적용된 조도계수는 실험에서 획득한 데이터와 베르누이 방정식을 활용하여 산정되었으며, 두 케이스에 대한 모의 결과는 실험에서 관측된 수위와 비교하였다. 본 연구에 따르면 여러 개의 식생패치가 정수상태로 존재하는 하천에 대한 1차원 수치모의 시 식생의 분포를 종방향으로 고려하여 하나의 구간조도계수를 적용하는 방식이 종횡단면의 식생패치 위치를 고려한 조도계수를 세분화하여 적용하는 방식에 비해 수위 계산 정확도가 상대적으로 높은 것으로 나타났다.

The accuracy of Monte Carlo (MC) simulations in estimating the computed tomography radiation dose is highly dependent on the accuracy of CT scanner model. A system was developed to observe the 3D model intuitively and to calculate the X-ray energy spectrum and the bowtie (BT) filter model more accurately in Monte Carlo N-particle (MCNP). Labview's built-in Open Graphics Library (OpenGL) was used to display basic surfaces, and constructive solid geometry (CSG) method was used to realize Boolean operations. The energy spectrum was calculated by simulating the process of electronic shooting and the BT filter model was accurately modeled based on the calculated shape curve. Physical data from a study was used as an example to illustrate the accuracy of the constructed model. RMSE between the simulation and the measurement results were 0.97% and 0.74% for two filters of different shapes. It can be seen from the comparison results that to obtain an accurate CT scanner model, physical measurements should be taken as the standard. The energy spectrum library should be established based on Monte Carlo simulations with modifiable input files. It is necessary to use the three-segment splicing modeling method to construct the bowtie filter model.

Godunov형 모형을 이용한 홍수모델링에서는 일반적으로 구조적 사각격자나 비구조적 삼각격자가 주로 적용된다. 2차원 수치모형을 이용한 홍수모델링에서 연구유역의 정보가 격자의 노드나 중심에 입력되므로 적용격자의 유형과 생성방법에 따라 모형의 입력자료 오차에 영항을 줄 수 있다. 따라서, 연구유역이 지형 변동성이 심한 지역이거나 흐름형상이나 흐름변동이 심한 구간이라면, 고해상도 격자를 통해 모형의 입력자료 오차를 최소화할 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 2가지 유형에 대한 연구를 수행하였다, 첫 번째는 홍수해석을 위한 2차원 모형의 격자형상과 해상도에 따른 홍수위 및 홍수범람범위를 비교·분석하는 연구를 수행하였다. 연구유역은 2000년 10월 29일부터 11월 19일까지 홍수가 발생한 영국의 Severn 강 유역이다. 연구유역의 홍수 모델링을 위한 지형자료는 3m 해상도의 LiDAR(Light Detection And Ranging)를 이용하여 구축하였으며, 격자유형 및 해상도에 따른 2차원 홍수위 및 홍수범람범위를 비교·분석하기 위해서 홍수 발생기간 동안 촬영된 4개(2000년 8월 11, 14, 15, 17일)의 ASAR(Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar) 영상자료를 활용하였다. 즉, ASAR 영상으로 촬용된 최대범람시기 및 홍수류의 배수기를 활용하여 최대범람범위뿐만 아니라 홍수가 증가하는 시기와 하류단 배수로 인해 홍수가 감소하는 시기를 모두 포함하는 홍수범람범위에 대한 격자유형별 2차원 홍수범람모형의 계산 결과에 대해 비교하였다. 두 번째는 아마존 강 중류유역의 2,500K㎡ 면적에 해당하는 대규모 유역에 대해 SRTM(Shuttle Radar Topography Mission) 지형자료를 이용하여 홍수기와 갈수기에 대해 2차원 모델링을 수행하고 그 결과를 위성자료와 비교하였다.

We report on multi-wavelength observations of AA Ori, a Young Stellar Object in Orion-A star-forming region. AA Ori is known to have a pre-transitional disk based on infrared observations including Spitzer/IRS data. We construct its broadband spectral energy distribution (SED) by not only taking data in the optical and IR region but also including Herschel/PACS, JCMT/SCUBA, and SMA observational data. We use the Monte Carlo radiative transfer code (RADMC-3D) to reconstruct the SED with a viscous accretion disk model initialized by a radially continuous disk and finally having an inner and outer dusty disk separated by a dust-depleted radial gap. By comparing the model SEDs with different configurations of disk parameters, we discuss the limits to find a single solution of model parameters to fit the data. We suggest that some models with a modified inner disk surface density gradient and some degree of dust depletion in the inner disk can explain the AA Ori's SED, from which we infer that the inner disk of AA Ori has evolved. We present that model configurations of a pre-transitional disk with a large gap extended to 60-80 AU in a settled dusty disk of a few hundred AU size with a high inclination angle (~60°) also create model SEDs close to the observed one. To distinguish whether the disk has a just-opened narrow gap or a large gap, with an altered surface density of the inner disk extended to 10 AU, we suggest a further investigation of AA Ori with high angular resolution observations.

Wind turbines are usually steel hollow structures that can be vulnerable to dramatic failures due to high-intensity wind (HIW) events, which are classified as a category of localized windstorms that includes tornadoes and downbursts. Analyzing Wind Turbines (WT) under tornadoes is a challenging-to-achieve task because tornadoes are much more complicated wind fields compared with the synoptic boundary layer wind fields, considering that the tornado's 3-D velocity components vary largely in space. As a result, the supporting tower of the wind turbine and the blades will experience different velocities depending on the location of the event. Wind farms also extend over a large area so that the probability of a localized windstorm event impacting one or more towers is relatively high. Therefore, the built-in-house numerical code "HIW-WT" has been developed to predict the straining actions on the blades considering the variability of the tornado's location and the blades' pitch angle. The developed HIWWT numerical model incorporates different wind fields that were generated from developed CFD models. The developed numerical model was applied on an actual wind turbine under three different tornadoes that have different tornadic structure. It is found that F2 tornado wind fields present significant hazard for the wind turbine blades and have to be taken into account if the hazardous impact of this type of unexpected load is to be avoided.

This study analyzes the energy performance of a elderly care center building and the applicability of a ground source heat pump (GSHP) system through simulation approach. For this purpose, a building information modeling (BIM) program and an energy performance calculation program were used. The impact of the mechanical ventilation system on the energy requirements of the heating and cooling system and the indoor environment was also analyzed, focusing on the change in indoor carbon dioxide (CO₂) concentration, which is a representative indicator of the indoor environment (air quality). The simulation results showed that the target building exceeds Level 7 in terms of simulated primary energy consumption or actual energy consumption. In addition, it was analyzed that the target building could not maintain the indoor CO₂ concentration below the standard concentration by natural ventilation through window opening alone. Combining the GSHP system with the mechanical ventilation system (Case B and Case C) can further reduce the overall energy consumption by reducing the amount of outdoor air introduced by opening windows. The cost savings compared to the baseline case are estimated to be 67.3% for Case A, 63.7% for Case B, 65.5% for Case C, and 42.5% for Case D. It is necessary to analyze the impact of various renewable energy technologies and passive ones on the energy performance and indoor environment of elderly care centers.

In order to optimize the operational safety and reliability of the upper launcher for the CFETR ECRH system, a design of the launcher for NTM control based on the remote steering concept is currently being carried out for comparison with the front steering equivalent. This paper presents the layout design and analysis of the quasi-optical system in the remote steering launcher. A 3D visual quasi-optical design tool has been developed for the quasi-optical system, which can parameterize modeling, perform general astigmatic beam calculation and show the accurate beam propagation path in the upper port. Three identical sets of quasi-optical modules are arranged in the launcher, and each one consists of two fixed double-curvature focusing mirrors, which focus and reflect the steering beams (- 12°-12°) from two square corrugated waveguides. The beam characteristics at the resonance layer are described, and the average beam radius is < 100 mm. The peak head loads on the surfaces of the two fixed mirrors are 1.63 MW/m² and 1.52 MW/m². The position and size of the beam channel in the blanket are obtained, and the opening apertures on the launcher-facing and plasma-facing sides of the blanket module are 0.54 m² and 0.4 m², respectively.
