The neutron induced nuclear cross section data for Ir-191 and Ir-193 were calculated and evaluated from unresolved resonance energy to 20MeV. The energy-dependent optical model potential parameters were determined based on the experimental data and applied up to 20MeV. A spherical optical model, a statistical model in an equilibrium energy region, and a multistep direct and multistep compound model in a pre-equilibrium energy region were used in the calculations. The direct capture model enhanced the fast neutron capture in the pre-equilibrium energy. The theoretically calculated cross sections were compared with the experimental data and the evaluated files. The calculations were found to be in good agreement with the experiment data. The evaluated cross section results were compiled with the ENDF-6 format. The fast energy results will be merged with the resonance parts to create a full evaluation library. The improvement of the neutron-induced cross section data will contribute to an increase in the efficiency of the production of Ir-192 as a radiation source.

The neutron induced nuclear cross-section data for Pd-105, Ag-109, Xe-131, and Cs-133 were calculated and evaluated from an unresolved energy to 20 MeV. The energy dependent optical model potential parameters were extracted based on recent experimental data and applied up to 20 MeV. A spherical optical model and a statistical model for the equilibrium energy, and a multistep direct and a multistep compound model for the pre-equilibrium energy were used in the calculation. The direct capture model was recently introduced for fast neutron capture. The theoretically calculated cross-sections were compared with the experimental data and the evaluated files. The total and capture cross-sections calculated using the model were in good agreement with the reference experimental data. The evaluated cross-section results were compiled in ENDF-6 format and merged with the resonance component, already adopted in the ENDF/B-VI release 8. New data library files covering from thermal to 20 MeV were created. They are at the preliminary stage of an ENDF/B- VII release.

We developed a simple method to prepare the displacement damage cross section of SiC using NJOY and SRIM/TRIM. The number of displacements per atom (DPA) dependent on primary knock-on atom (PKA) energy was computed using SRIM/TRIM and it is directly used by NJOY/HEATR to compute the neutron energy dependent DPA cross sections which are required to estimate the accumulated DPA of nuclear material. SiC DPA cross section is published as a table in DeCART 47 energy group structure. Proposed methodology can be easily extended to other materials.

The neutron induced nuclear data for Mo-95, Tc-99, Ru-101 and Rh-103 was calculated and evaluated in the fast energy region. The energy dependent optical model potential parameters were extracted based on the recent experimental data and applied up to 20 MeV. The s-wave strength function was calculated from the parameters. Spherical optical model, statistical model in equilibrium energy, multistep direct and multistep compound model in pre-equilibrium energy and direct capture model were used in the calculation. The theoretically calculated cross sections were compared with the experimental data and the evaluated files The model- calculated total and capture cross sections were in good agreement with the reference experimental data. The direct capture contribution improved the capture cross sections in pre- equilibrium region. The evaluated cross section results were compiled to ENDF-6 format and will improve the ENDF/B-Vl.

The titled dye of DBPI gives amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) with maximum at 580 nm upon pumping by nitrogen laser (${\lambda}_{ex}\;=\;337.1\;nm$). The ground state absorption cross section (${\sigma}_A$) and emission cross section (${\sigma}_E$) as well as effective emission cross section(${\sigma}^*_E$) have been determined. The electronic absorption spectra of DBPI were measured in ethanol and tetrahydrofuran at room and low temperature. DBPI displays molecular aggregation in water. The photochemical reactivity of DBPI was also studied in carbon tetrachloride upon irradiation with 525 nm light. The electrochemical investigation of DBPI dye has been carried out using cyclic voltammetry and convolution deconvolution voltammetry combined with digital simulation technique at a platinum electrode in 0.1 mol/L tetrabutyl ammonium perchlorate (TBAP) in two different solvents acetonitrile ($CH_3CN$) and dimethylformamide (DMF). The species were reduced via consumption of two sequential electrons to form radical anion and dianion (EE mechanism). In switching the potential to positive direction, the compound was oxidized by loss of two sequential electrons, which were followed by a fast dimerization and/or aggregation process i.e $EC_{dim1}EC_{dim2}$ mechanism. The electrode reaction pathway and the chemical and electrochemical parameters of the investigated compound were determined using cyclic and convolutive voltammetry. The extracted electrochemical parameters were verified and confirmed via digital simulation method.

복단면 형태를 이루는 직선하도 내 사행하는 저수로의 형태에 따른 흐름 특성을 파악하기 위해, 국내 대표적인 하도 형태를 상정해 실내 수리모형을 실시해서 3차원 수치모의의 유효성을 확인하고, 이를 바탕으로 다른 유형의 하도 형태에 대해서도 수치모의로 검토를 실시하였다. 본 연구결과, 수리모형 실험에서 관측한 수심별 유속값을 이용하여 수치모형의 검정을 수행한 결과, 수치모의 결과와 충분히 일치하는 것으로 확인하였다. 이를 토대로, 추가적인 저수로 형태 변화에 따른 유동장에 대해 분석한 바에 따르면, 선행 연구들에서 검토된 이차류 현상이 발생하였음을 확인한 한편, 고수부지 내 유수단면적 확대에 따라 최고유속분포 지점이 이동하는 현상을 확인할 수 있었다. 궁극적으로 저수로 폭 변화가 흐름에 영향을 끼쳐 궁극적으로 하천설계에 중요한 요소인 수충부의 위치와 그 영향 정도를 파악하는 것이 필요하다고 판단된다.

The blade root fillets which have strong influences on the performance of propellers in the both structural and hydrodynamic points of view, are mechanical parts for smooth connection surface with a blade and a hub. A few related researches (Sabol, 1983; Kennedy, 1997) have noted that 3T-T/3 double radius section design would be suitable for reducing Stress Concentration Factor(SCF) and increasing Cavitation Inception Speed(CIS). In this paper, it is confirmed that this compound cross-section design has come close to the optimum solution in the shape optimization standpoint so that it could protect the propeller blade under the frequent and various loading cases. On that basis, we suggest the definite and simple fillet design methodology that has the cross-section with nT-T/n compound radius and elliptic shape which could sustain the given derivatives information as well as the offsets at the boundary and all inner region of the fillet surface. In addition, the result of design is presented in form of IGES file format in order to connect with NC machine seamlessly.

The neutron induced nuclear data for Eu-153, Gd-155 and Cd-157 are calculated and evaluated in the high energy region. The evaluation procedure for deformed nuclei is setup by using Ecis-Empire codes. The energy dependent optical model potential parameters are searched based on the recent experimental data and applied up to 20 MeV. Optical model, full featured Hauser-Feshbach model and multistep direct and multistep compound model are used in the calculation. The direct-semidirect capture model and the direct coupled-channels contribution to discrete levels are introduced to improve the capture and inelastic scattering cross sections. The theoretically calculated cross sections are compared with the experimental data and the evaluated files. The model-calculated total and capture cross sections are in good agreement with the reference experimental data. The evaluated cross section results are compiled to ENDF-6 format and are expected to improve the ENDF/B-Vl.

하구둑과 같은 횡단구조물이 없는 자연 하구인 한강하구는 바다와 하천을 연결하는 생태통로로서 생물종 다양성이 풍부하여 생태 가치가 높다. 한강하구에서는 유사분급이 입체적으로 다양하게 분포하여 기후변화 및 하천개발 등과 같은 여러 변화 요인에 따라 하상구조가 민감하게 변하는 특성이 나타난다. 이러한 현상은 하도육역화와 하도복단면 발달의 원인이 된다. 국가습지보호지역으로 지정된 장항습지에서는 하도 지형변화에 따라 식물천이가 현저하다. 본 연구 목적은 이에 대한 현장 조사를 실시하여 습지형성 기작을 규명하는 데 있다. 조사연구 결과, 인위적으로 조성된 것으로 추정되는 초기의 장항습지가 이후 성장하는 과정에 유량에 따른 하도 미지형 변화와 식물천이 사이에 상호 밀접하게 작용하는 것으로 드러났다. 즉 하상의 주재료(모래)가 아닌 부재(Sub-materials of river bed)인 점성의 표층 하상재료(워시로드 성질의 미세립사)가 선구식물(새섬매자기 등)에 포집되면서 복단면 형태(습지)로 성장하는 데 매개 역할을 한 것으로 나타났다. 습지가 하도복단면 형태로 발달한 후에는 선구식물이 다른 식물종으로 천이되는 양상도 나타났다.
