In this paper, a numerical study has been carried out to investigate the influence of volute geometries on the performance of a sirocco fan. In order to achieve an optimum volute design and explain the interactions between the different geometric configurations in the volute system, three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics and the 'design of experiment' method have been applied. Several geometric parameters, such as the volute expansion angle, the cut-off position and the bell mouth shape, are employed to improve efficiency and performance. $2^k$ factorial designs were performed to screen the most influential parameters and interactions, and showed that the cut-off position and the bell mouth shape are the most significant parameters. The optimum design was selected as a result of the response surface methodology, and effects of these parameters and their interactions were presented. From the results of computational analyses and experimental data, the performance and efficiency of the sirocco fan were successfully improved. Also, detailed effects of geometric variables of the volute system on the fan performance were discussed.

The radiation induced segregation of Cr at grain boundaries (GBs) in Ferritic/Martensitic steels was modeled assuming vacancy and interstitialcy diffusion mechanisms. In particular, the dependence of segregation on temperature and grain boundary misorientation angle was analyzed. It is found that Cr enriches at grain boundaries at low temperatures primarily through the interstitialcy mechanism while depletes at high temperatures predominantly through the vacancy mechanism. There is a crossover from Cr enrichment to depletion at an intermediate temperature where the Cr:Fe vacancy and interstitialcy diffusion coefficient ratios intersect. The bell-shape Cr enrichment response is attributed to the decreasing void sinks inside the grains as temperature rises. It is also shown that low angle grain boundaries (LAGBs) and special Σ coincidence-site lattice (CSL) grain boundaries exhibit suppressed radiation induced segregation (RIS) response while high angle grain boundaries (HAGBs) have high RIS segregation. This different behavior is attributed to the variations in dislocation density at different grain boundaries.

The main purpose of the paper is to analyze effect of geometrical parameters of the reentry capsules such as radius of the spherical cap, shoulder radius, back shell inclination angle and overall length on the flow field characteristics. The numerical simulation with viscous flow past ARD (Atmospheric Reentry Demonstrator), Soyuz (Russian) and OREX (Orbital Reentry EXperimental) reentry capsules for freestream Mach numbers range of 2.0-5.0 is carried out by solving time-dependent, axisymmetric, compressible laminar Navier-Stokes equations. These reentry capsules appear as bell, head light and saucer in shape. The flow field features around the reentry capsules such as bow shock wave, sonic line, expansion fan and recirculating flow region are well captured by the present numerical simulations. A low pressure is observed immediately downstream of the base region of the capsule which can be attributed to fill-up in the growing space between the shock wave and the reentry module. The back shell angle and the radius of the shoulder over the capsule are having a significant effect on the wall pressure distribution. The effects of geometrical parameters of the reentry capsules will useful input for the calculation of ballistic coefficient of the reentry module.

TR-E2 configuration designed by Bell Textron was tested in KARI 1-m wind tunnel. To explore aerodynamic characteristics for the given configuration, a $12\%$ scaled model was fabricated and tested. Wind tunnel test for TR-E2 had been performed by changing the incidence angles of wing and deflection angles of control surfaces. Test result showed that the lower wing incidence angle has more favorable lift to drag ratio compared with original design. Longitudinal and directional characteristics of TR-E2 were found to be stable for the pitch and yaw motions. However, the lateral stability of TR-E2 is not stable for certain control surface deflection.

In this paper, a numerical study has been carried out to investigate the influence of jet fan design variables on the performance of a jet fan. In order to achieve an optimum jet fan design and to explain the interactions between the different geometric configurations in the jet fan, three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics and the DOE method have been applied. Several geometric variables, i.e., hub-tip ratio, meridional shape, rotor stagger angle, number of rotor-stator blades and stator geometry, were employed to improve the performance of the jet fan. The objective functions are defined as the exit velocity and total efficiency at the operating condition. Based on the results of computational analyses, the performance of the jet fan was significantly improved. The performance degradations when the jet fan is operated in the reverse direction are also discussed.

Our study aimed to investigate the diversity of tintinnid species in Korea by collecting samples from coastal waters. As a result, we identified and redescribed three newly recorded species of the genus Tintinnopsis Stein, 1867 and one previously recorded species of the genus Antetintinnopsis Wang et al., 2021 in Korea. The loricae morphology and molecular phylogeny based on the 18S rDNA sequences of these four were analyzed. Tintinnopsis kiaochowensis Yin, 1956 is characterized by having an irregular collar with spiral turns and an obconical-shaped bowl. Tintinnopsis orientalis Kofoid and Campbell, 1929 is characterized by the inverted bell-shaped lorica with size of 121-140×86-94 ㎛. Tintinnopsis parvula Jörgensen, 1912 is characterized by its narrower collar than bowl and acute angle of the bowl (39-75°). The recorded species, Antetintinnopsis gracilis (Kofoid and Campbell, 1929) Wang et al., 2021 is characterized by a cylindrical collar narrower than the bowl width and with a size of 98-131×37-46 ㎛.

Hydrogen free diamond like carbon (DLC) films were prepared on steel substrates by using a single ion beam in a configuration that allowed sputtering of a graphite target and at the same time allowed to impact the substrate at a grazing angle. The DLC films so prepared have improved properties with increased disorder and with modest hardness that is slightly higher than previously reported values. We have studied the effects of $N_2^+$ ions implantation on such films. It is found that the implantations of nitrogen ions into DLC films lead to chemical modifications that allowed N atoms to be incorporated into the carbon network to produce a nitrogenated DLC. Nano-indentation experiments indicated that the nitrogenated films have consistently higher hardnesses ranging from 30 to 45GPa, which represents a considerable increase in surface hardness, compared with non-nitrogenated precursor films. The investigations by XPS and Raman spectroscopy suggests that the $N_2^+$ implanted DLCs had undergone both chemical and structural modifications through the incorporation of N atoms and the increased ratio of $sp^3/sp^2$ type bonding. The observed high hardness was therefore attributable to these structural and chemical modifications. This result has implication for the preparation of super hard wear resistant films required for tribological functions in devices.

라디오 주파수(13.56 MHz) 무전극 종형 플라즈마 반응기를 이용하여 천연고무 가교체의 표면을 클로로디플루오로메탄으로 처리하였다. FT-적외선 분광분석으로 표면개질 정도를 정성적으로 조사하였다. 플라즈마 처리표면의 마찰힘은 플라즈마 처리시간 증가에 따라 감소하였다. 고무표면에 에틸렌글리콜과 물을 떨어뜨려 접촉각을 측정한 결과 플라즈마 처리에 따라 감소하는 것으로 미루어 플라즈마 개질에 따라 표면극성이 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 유리판 표면을 동일조건으로 플라즈마 처리한 경우는 극성의 감소만이 확인되었다. 표면자유에너지의 London 비극성 및 극성요소를 계산하는데 있어서 기하평균법과 조화평균법이 유용한 것으로 확인되었다. 평균방법에 관계없이 플라즈마 처리시간이 증가함에 따라 표면자유에너지는 증가하였다 그러나 조화평균법으로 계산된 자유에너지가 기하평균법으로 계산된 값에 비해 상대적으로 높았다. 플라즈마 표면개질은 마찰의 계면, 히스테리시스, 점성요소들에 영향을 미침으로써 마찰계수를 변화시키는 것으로 나타났다.

This study is to define how the difference of athletic change influence on the last regrasp after somersault in Belle movement of parallel bars. For his study, the following conclusion was produced by analysis of athletic change by means of three dimensional visual image in three athlete of nation. 1. As the picture of S1, there are total used time(2.01 sec), S3(2.17 sec) and S2(2.19 sec). In case of a short needed time, it is difficult for them to perform the remaining movement of the vertical elevating flight easily and comfortably, it is judged as performing the small movement with restrict swing. 2 In the change of body center sped by each event, it is calculated as $-89.1^{\circ}$ the narrowest in S1, $-81.96^{\circ}$ the widest and then $86.34^{\circ}$ in S3. In E3 event, average compound speed is 4.07m/s, S2 showed the fastest speed of 4.14m/s whereas S1 the narrowest angle of 3.95m/s. 3. A shoulder joint and coxa are the period of mention in E3. In E4 which was pointed out the longest vertical distance, S2 that is indicated the highest vertical height as the period of detach in parallel bars. showed -3.91m. This is regarded as a preparatory movement for dynamic performance after using effectively elastic movement of shoulder joint and coxa while easily going up with turning back movement. In the 5th phrase, long airborne time and vertical change position is showed as the start while regrasping securely air flight movement from high position. 4. In E5, a long flight time and a long vertical displacement were shown as the regrasp after somersault efficiently in high position with stability from the point of the highest peak of the center of the body. Especially, S2 is marked as a little bit long position, while S1 is reversely indicated as performing somersault and unstable motion in a low position. 5. In E3, at the point of the largest extension of the shoulder joint and hip joint the shoulder joint is largely marked in $182^{\circ}$ and the hip point $182^{\circ}$ in S2. The shoulder joint is marked at the smallest angle in $177^{\circ}$ and the hip point $176^{\circ}$ in S1. And S1 is being judged by its performance of the less self - confident motion with lessening a breath of swing. S2 makes the most use of flexion and extension of the shoulder joint and the hip joint effectively. It was performed greatly with swinging and dropping the rotary movement and the rotary inertia naturally. 6. In E6, as the point of regrasp of the upper arm in parallel bars it is recognized by the that of components of vertical and horizontal velocity stably. During this study, the insufficient thing and the study on the parallel bars at a real game later are more activated than now. If it is really used as the basic materials by means of Belle Picked Study of Super E level after Bell movement, you may perceive the technique movement previously and perform without difficulty. Especially, such technique as crucifix is quite advantageous for oriental people thanks to small body shape condition. In conclusion we will nicely prepare for our suitable environment to gradually lessen trials and errors by analyzing and studying kinematically this movement.

경상북도에 소재한 3개 종합병원 영상의학과의 MDCT 검사 중 두부, 복부, 흉부 각 10건씩 30건을 대상으로 CTDIl, DLP, Slice 수, DLP/Slice 수를 조사하여 병원 간 프로토콜의 차이로 인한 MDCT의 피폭선량의 차이를 분석하였고, CT검사의 가장 많은 검사건수를 차지하고 프로토콜이 비교적 단순한 두부 CT를 Helical Scan과 Normal Scan으로 2회 실시하여 영상의 화질, CTDI, DLP, 안구의 피폭선량, 갑상선의 피폭선량의 차이를 분석하였다. 두부CT에서 조사대상 병원의 3분의 2에서 CTDI 참조준위(IAEA 50mGy, 우리나라 60mGy)를 초과하지 않은 A병원에 비하여 유의하게 높았다(p<0.001). DLP에서 조사병원의 3분의 1은 참조준위 IAEA 1,050mGy.cm, 우리나라 1,000mGy.cm의 권고량 보다 높았고, 3분의 2가 우리나라의 권고량을 초과하고 있었다. 참조준위를 초과하지 않은 A병원에 비하여 유의하게 높았다(p<0.001). Abdomen CT에서도 3분의 1은 CTDI 참조준위 IAEA 25mGy, 우리나라 20mGy보다 높은 119mGy를 보였고, DLP에서는 모든 조사대상 병원이 우리나라 권고량 700mGy.cm보다 높았다. 조사대상 병원 중 모든 검사에서 높은 선량을 보인 C병원은 MPR, 3D 검사의 비중이 높아 낮은 pitch, 높은 관전류 검사로 인한 피폭선량이 높았다. Scan 방법에 따른 피폭선량의 차이를 분석하고자 동일환자의 두부CT를 Normal scan과 Helical scan으로 각각 실시하여 분석한 결과 CTDI 및 DLP에서 Helical CT가 Normal scan에 비해 63.4%, 93.7% 높은 선량을 보였다(p<0.05, p<0.01). 그러나 갑상선의 피폭선량은 Normal scan이 87.26% 높았다(p<0.01). Helical CT의 선속은 종심부와 변연부의 모양이 종의 형태를 취하고 있어 두부CT에서 갑상선은 중심선속에서 벗어난 적은 선량으로 피폭된다. 또한 Helical scan시 Gantry 각을 수직으로 사용하였고, Normal scan시에는 Orbitomeatal line에 평행으로 정렬된 Gantry 각을 사용하여 Helical scan에서 갑상선은 피폭선량이 감소하였다. 그러나 본 연구에서 사용된 프로토콜은 식약청의 표준준위에 비해 높은 피폭선량을 보여 식약청의 권고량을 지키기 위해서는 낮은 관전류 높은 Pitch의 사용이 요구되었다. 이번 연구에서 Normal scan과 Helical scan에 따른 화질의 차이는 없는 것으로 분석되어 특별한 경우가 아니면 Normal scan의 표준화된 프로토콜을 사용하고 갑상선의 보호장구를 사용하는 것이 필요하였다. 이번 연구는 일지역의 CT검사 중 일부를 조사하여 분석하였으므로 CT검사의 전체를 평가하는데 무리가 있었다. 그러나 경우에 따라 환자피폭선량의 가이드 권고량을 초과하고 있음을 알 수 있었고, 병원 간의 피폭선량 편차도 있음을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이것을 개선하기 위하여 영상의학과 의사 및 방사선사는 CT 방사선량을 줄이는 최적화된 프로토콜로 CT검사를 시행해야 하고, 환자의 알권리를 위하여 피폭선량은 공개되어야 한다. 그러나 아직 많은 의사들과 방사선사는 이에 대한 인식이 부족하므로 개선을 위하여 CT선량 저감화의 교육프로그램, CT검사에 따른 피폭선량의 공개, 병원의 서비스평가 및 병원인증제 평가항목에 CT검사 피폭선량관리 및 공개항목을 추가 등의 관련기관의 노력과 의료종사자가 CT검사에서 행위의 최적화를 실현하는 최선의 프로토콜을 사용하는 노력이 필요하였다.
