Experimental verification of boron species in fuel CRUD (Chalk River Unidentified Deposit) would provide essential and important information about the root cause of CRUD-induced power shifts (CIPS). To date, only bonaccordite and elemental boron were reported to exist in fuel CRUD in CIPS-troubled pressurized water reactor (PWR) cores and lithium tetraborate to exist in simulated PWR fuel CRUD from some autoclave tests. We have reevaluated previous analysis of similar threadlike crystals along with examining some similar threadlike crystals from CRUD samples collected from a PWR cycle that had no indications of CIPS. These threadlike crystals have a typical [Ni]/[Fe] atomic ratio of ~2 and similar crystal morphology as the one (bonaccordite) reported previously. In addition to electron diffraction study, we have applied electron energy loss spectroscopy to determine boron content in such a crystal and found a good agreement with that of bonaccordite. Surprisingly, such crystals seem to appear also on corroded surfaces of Alloy 600 that was exposed to simulated PWR primary water with a dissolved hydrogen level of $5mL\;H_2/kg\;H_2O$, but absent when exposed under $75mL\;H_2/kg\;H_2O$ condition. It remains to be verified as to what extent and in which chemical environment this phase would be formed in PWR primary systems.

In tunnel construction, the information on the rock quality and the location of fault or fracture are crucial for economical design of support pattern and for safe construction of the tunnel. The grade of rock is commonly estimated through the observation with the naked eye of recovered cores in drilling or from physical parameters obtained by their laboratory test. Since drilling cost is quite expensive and terrains of planned sites for tunnel construction are rough in many cases, however, only limited information could be provided by core drilling Electrical resistivity and EM surveys may be a clue to get over this difficulty. Thus we have investigated electrical resistivity and EM field data providing regional Information of the rock Quality and delineating fault and fracture over a rough terrain. In this paper, we present some case histories using electrical resistivity and EM survey for the site investigation of tunnel construction. Through electrical resistivity and EM survey, the range and depth of coal seam was clearly estimated, cavities were detected in limestone area, and weak zones such as joint, fault and fracture have been delineated.

국내에서 출토빈도가 높은 9개 암종을 대상으로 침투에 의한 함수시 강도저감에 대한 연구를 시행하였다. 함수에 의한 강도저감은 암종에 관계없이 암석강도에 지배된다는 사실을 확인하였다. 강도가 약한 암일수록 강도저감 민감도가 예민함을 알 수 있다. 강도에 따라 0.5%의 함수비에 50% 내외의 강도 저감현상이 발생하는 일은 매우 흔하게 관찰된다. 대부분의 암석은 포화함수비의 1/4~1/2의 포화에서 파괴가 일어난다는 사실도 확인할 수 있었다. 함수시 암석강도의 약화는 교질물질의 접착강도 약화와 용탈에 의한 것으로 사료된다.

Unlike an AC system, a DC system does not cause problems with synchronization, stability, reactive power, system losses, and cost. However, more research is still required for the application of DC Systems. This paper proposes a stable black-start strategy for a stand-alone DC micro-grid, which consists of an energy storage system, photovoltaic generator, wind-turbine generator, diesel generator, and DC loads. The proposed method is very important for avoiding inrush current and transient overvoltage in the power system equipment during restoration after a blackout. PSCAD/EMTDC software was used to simulate, analyze, and verify the method, which was found to be stable and applicable for a stand-alone DC micro-grid.

지문 정합 시 입력지문의 품질 및 지문의 상태에 따라서 지문정합 결과가 다르게 나타나게 된다. 잡음이 섞여 입력지문의 품질이 떨어지거나 지문의 상처로 인하여 입력지문에 융선이 없어진 경우에는 잘못된 방향성 정보를 도출해 낼 수 있다. 지문 정합에서 방향정보는 가짜 특징점 제거, 융선 거리 측정, 매칭, 중심점 및 삼각주 찾기 둥에 아주 중요한 요인으로 작용한다. 잘못된 방향성을 도출하게 되면 지문인식에 많은 오차를 수반하게 되므로 잘못된 방향성 정보를 보완하거나 교정하는 방법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 입력지문이 상처 둥으로 인하여 손상된 경우에 잘못된 방향성 정보를 재구성하기 위한 방법으로 저역통과 필터를 거친 후 \alpha$-trimmed mean 필터를 이용하여 방향성 정보를 보완 및 교정하는 방법에 대하여 제시한다.

In this paper, the new non-destructive equation will be proposed and evaluated in comparison to the other foreign's non-destructive equation. Through the comparisons cores strength of mock structure with compressive strength obtained from new non-destructive equation ; rebound hammer, ultra-sonic pulse velocity and combined method, it will be analyzed about application of non-destructive equation.

In order to apply the non-destructive equation of concrete strength to the structures, it is necessary that we should be made process study on the non-destructive equation for estimation of concrete strength in the range, time and strength of application under long-term.

In many image processing tasks, connected component labeling (CCL) is performed to extract regions of interest. CCL was usually done in a sequential fashion when image resolution was relatively low and there are small number of input channels. As image resolution gets higher up to HD or Full HD and as the number of input channels increases, sequential CCL is too time-consuming to be used in real time applications. To cope with this situation, parallel CCL framework was introduced where multiple cores are utilized simultaneously. Several parallel CCL methods have been proposed in the literature. Among them are NSZ label equivalence (NSZ-LE) method[1], modified 8 directional label selection (M8DLS) method[2], and HYBRID1 method[3]. Soh [3] showed that HYBRID1 outperforms NSZ-LE and M8DLS, and argued that HYBRID1 is by far the best. In this paper we propose an improved hybrid parallel CCL algorithm termed as HYBRID2 that hybridizes M8DLS with label backtracking (LB) and show that it runs around 20% faster than HYBRID1 for various kinds of images.

In this study, the partial discharge degradation properties for 2-core PVC cable($2cores{\times}1.5mm^2$ cross section, length of 10 cm, 20 cm, 30 cm) following immersion with the salt water that the 2%, 4%, 8% of NaCl is dissolved in 100 g of distilled water for 48 and 96 hours has been measured. The results of this study are as follows. When the degradation time in salt water of 2% NaCl is 48 hours, it found that the number of partial discharge increased as about 40 pps, 50 pps, 90 pps with increasing the length of cable to 10 cm, 20 cm, 30 cm. In case the concentration and degradation time is same, the inception and extinction voltage decreased with increasing the length of cable. When the degradation time in salt water is 96 hours and the length of cable is 20 cm, it found that the number of partial discharge decreased as 3,000 pps, 500 pps, 100 pps with increasing the concentration of NaCl to 2%, 4%, 8%.

This study is to investigate the temperature hysteresis and development of compressive strength due to the curing conditions and to evaluate the optimum curing condition of test specimens showing the same development of strength to that of real structures in cold weather. The results of temperature curve with curing conditions in mock-up tests showed the trend of decrease plain concrete with insulation form, plain concrete with heating, concrete with accelerator for freeze protection, and control concrete in turn. The strength development of plain concrete of inside and outside of shelter showed the very slow strength gains due to early freezing, but that of concrete with accelerator for freeze protection showed the gradual increase of strength with time. From this, it is clear that accelerator for freeze protection has the effects of refusing the freezing temperature and accelerating the hardening under low temperature. Strength test results of small specimens embedded in members and located in insulation boxes at the site are similar to that of cores drilled from the members at the same ages, thus it is clear that these curing methods are effective for evaluating in-place concrete strength
