Plutonium-238 has always been considered as the one of the promising radioisotopes for space nuclear power supply, which has long half-life, low radiation protection level, high power density, and stable fuel form at high temperatures. The industrial-scale production of ²³⁸Pu mainly depends on irradiating solid ²³⁷NpO₂ target in high flux reactors, however the production process faces problems such as large fission loss and high requirements for product quality control. In this paper, a conceptual design study of producing ²³⁸Pu in a multi-purpose high flux reactor was evaluated and analyzed, which includes a sensitivity analysis on ²³⁸Pu production and a further study on the irradiation scheme. It demonstrated that the target structure and its location in the reactor, as well as the operation scheme has an impact on ²³⁸Pu amount and product quality. Furthermore, the production efficiency could be improved by optimizing target material concentration, target locations in the core and reflector. This work provides technical support for irradiation production of ²³⁸Pu in high flux reactors.

Graphite material plays an important role in nuclear reactors especially the high-temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGRs) by its outstanding comprehensive nuclear properties. The structural integrity of graphite pebble fuel elements is the first barrier to core safety under any circumstances. The correct knowledge of the stiffness coefficient of the graphite pebble fuel element inside the reactor's core is significant to ensure the valid design and inherent safety. In this research, a vertical extrusion device was set up to measure the stiffness coefficient of the graphite pebble fuel element by the Institute of Nuclear and New Energy Technology (INET) of Tsinghua University in China. The stiffness coefficient equations of graphite pebble fuel elements at different temperatures are given (in a helium atmosphere). The result first provides the data on the high-temperature stiffness coefficient of pebbles in helium gas. The result will be helpful for the engineering safety analysis of pebble-bed nuclear reactors.

With the emergence of generative AI, a new era of coexistence with humanity has begun. The vast data-driven learning capabilities of AI are being utilized in various industries to achieve a level of productivity distinct from human learning. However, AI also manifests societal phenomena such as technophobia. This study aims to analyze collaborative AI models based on an understanding of AI and identify areas within the jewelry industry where these models can be applied. The utilization of collaborative AI models can lead to the acceleration of idea development, enhancement of design capabilities, increased productivity, and the internalization of multimodal functions. Ultimately, AI should be used as a collaborative tool from a utilitarian perspective, which requires a proactive, human-centric mindset. This research proposes collaborative AI strategies for the jewelry business, hoping to enhance the industry's competitiveness.

The facial palsy is one of the most common illness in Western-Korean collaborative treatment (hereinafter "collaborative treatment"). The purpose of this study is to analyze facial palsy patients'collaborative treatment use patterns. By analysing the 2014 National Health Insurance Review and Assessment Patient Sample Data (NPS 2014) with the episode of care unit, we have found the following results. First, the collaborative treatment is preferred by patients over 50 years old and female. Second, western medicine mainly focuses on diagnosis and medical examination while korean medicine and collaborative treatment focus more on treatment activity. Third, western medicine showed the shortest treatment period, followed by korean medicine and collaborative treatment. However, the cost of medical treatment per day is highest in western medicine. The analysis of the use patterns of collaborative treatment shown in the study is expected to provide a direction for the development of clinical practice guidelines and the establishment of medical policies in the future.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the cost-effectiveness of Eastern, Western, and collaborative treatments and suggest a cost-effective approach for patients with frozen shoulder pain. Methods : Using the data of fifty-two patients, treatment effectiveness was measured by CSA, SPABI, and ROM scales and changes from the baseline score were evaluated. Data source for cost estimation was based on the national health insurance (NHI) payment system. Because the price in NHI was differentiated by health care institutions, five collaborative types were considered in assessing costs. Cost-effective ratios were computed for economic evaluation. Results : Compared with Eastern treatment, collaborative and Western treatments showed better effects on CSA scale after 4 weeks' treatment. The collaborative approach was also the most effective treatment on SPADI and ROM scales. The direct cost per patient receiving Eastern treatment was less than other treatments. In general, collaborative treatment dominated Eastern and Western treatments in cost-effectiveness an analysis. However, the cost-effectiveness ratio of Eastern treatment resulted in \9,000 compared to \29,000 of collaborative treatment on SPADI. Four different indicators of ROM scales resulted in different approaches as the cost-effective treatment. Conclusions : Considering cost-effectiveness ratios, collaborative treatment was the best treatment on CSh and SPADI scales after 4 weeks' treatment. As for ROM scales, the recommended alternatives were Eastern treatment for patients with abduction and adduction disabilities, Western treatment for those with flexion disability, and collaborative approach fir those with extension disabiliry.

Collaborative programs are tools designed to support multiple people working together, enhancing collaboration and communication efficiency, improving productivity, and overcoming the constraints of time and place. In the endemic era, many companies and individuals prefer using collaborative programs. These programs often handle sensitive information, such as work content, documents, and user data, which can cause significant damage if leaked. Exploiting this, various attack scenarios have emerged, including malware attacks disguised as collaborative programs, exploiting vulnerabilities within these programs, and stealing internal tokens. To prevent such attacks, it is essential to analyze and respond to potential threats proactively. This paper focuses on Notion, a widely used collaborative program, to collect and analyze artifacts related to user information and activities in both PC and Android environments. Based on the collected data, we categorize critical information, discuss potential threats, and propose countermeasures.

This study grasped the true nature of the inquiry domain by analysing the requests for collaborative reference service in the social science field using the co-word technique, and schematized the intellectual structure. First, this study extracted 748 uncontrolled keywords from inquiries for reference in the field of social science. Second, calculated similarity indices between the words on the basis of co-occurrence frequency, and performed not only clustering but also MDS mapping. Third, to grasp the difference in inquiries for reference by period, dividing the period into two parts, and performed comparative analysis. As a result, there formed 5 clusters and "Korea Education" showed an overwhelming size with 40.3% among those clusters. The result of the analysis through the period division showed there were many questions about "Education" during the first half, while a lot of inquiries with focus on "welfare and business information" during the second half.

In this paper, we propose a novel method to quantify the neural synchronization between subjects in the collaborative process through electroencephalogram (EEG) hyperscanning. We hypothesized that the neural synchronization in EEGs will increase when the communication of the operators is smooth and the teamwork is better. We quantified the EEG signal for multiple subjects using a representative EEG quantification method, and studied the changes in brain activity occurring during collaboration. The proposed method quantifies neural synchronization between subjects through bispectral analysis. We found that phase synchronization between EEGs of multi subjects increased significantly during the periods of collaborative work. Traditional methods for a human error analysis used a retrospective analysis, and most of them were analyzed for an unspecified majority. However, the proposed method is able to perform the real-time monitoring of human error and can directly analyze and evaluate specific groups.

In this paper, we consider two issues in collaborative filtering, which are closely related with the number of ratings of a user. First issue is the relationship between the number of ratings of a user and the performance of collaborative filtering. The relationship is investigated with two datasets, EachMovie and Movielens datasets. The number of ratings of a user is critical when the number of ratings is small, but after the number is over a certain threshold, its influence on recommendation performance becomes smaller. We also provide an explanation on the relationship between the number of ratings of a user and the performance in terms of neighborhood formations in collaborative filtering. The second issue is how to select an initial product list for new users for gaining user responses. We suggest and analyze 14 selection strategies which include popularity, favorite, clustering, genre, and entropy methods. Popularity methods are adequate for getting higher number of ratings from users, and favorite methods are good for higher average preference ratings of users.
