This study was performed to acquire the reliable in-situ thermal conductivity of closed type ground heat exchanger used in ground source heat pump. We selected four sites(Cheonan, Daejeon, Daegu, Gwangju) which are central area of South Korea. Test results show that the effective thermal conductivities are 2.33 W/m$^{\circ}C$, 2.50 W/m$^{\circ}C$, 2.75 W/m$^{\circ}C$ and 2.86 W/m$^{\circ}C$. From this data, we can see that thermal conductivity varies about the range of 23% with the sites. Also, thermal conductivity increases up to 20% by changing grouting material from low salica sand to high one.

Non-contacting capacitive sensors, based on principle of the cross capacitor, for measuring small displacement less than 1.95$\pm$0.5 mm have been fabricated and characterized. To overcome disadvantages of the existed capacitive sensors, the new sensor is consisted of 4-electrodes which are formed 2 active electrodes and 2 guard electrodes on a sapphire plate with diameter 17mm and thickness 0.7 mm, and are symmetrically situated with constant gap of 0.2 mm among the electrodes. The sensor is evaluated to be correlation coefficient of 0.9987 for the range of 1.95$\pm$0.5 mm and that of 0.9995 for 1.95$\pm$0.25 mm range. This sensor can be used for in situ measurements in the mechanical mirror polishing with precision less than $\pm$1${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$.

This paper reports on the state-of-the-art of the main non-destructive assay (NDA) techniques usually used for in-situ radiological characterization of nuclear facilities subject to a decommissioning programme. For the sake of clarity and coherence, they have been classified as environmental radiation monitoring, surface contamination measurements, gamma spectrometry, passive neutron counting and radiation cameras. Particular mention is also made here to the various challenges that each of these techniques must currently overcome, together with the formulation of some proposals for a potential evolution in the future.

Background: A variety of inorganic scintillators have been developed and improved for use in radiation detection and measurement, and in situ gamma-ray spectrometry in the environment remains an important area in nuclear safety. In order to verify the feasibility of promising scintillators in an actual environment, a performance test is necessary to identify gamma-ray peaks and calculate the radioactivity from their net count rates in peaks. Materials and Methods: Among commercially available scintillators, $LaBr_3(Ce)$ scintillators have so far shown the highest energy resolution when detecting and identifying gamma-rays. However, the intrinsic background of this scintillator type affects efficient application to the environment with a relatively low count rate. An algorithm to subtract the intrinsic background was consequently developed, and the in situ calibration factor at 1 m above ground level was calculated from Monte Carlo simulation in order to determine the radioactivity from the measured net count rate. Results and Discussion: The radioactivity of six natural radionuclides in the environment was evaluated from in situ gamma-ray spectrometry using an $LaBr_3(Ce)$ detector. The results were then compared with those of a portable high purity Ge (HPGe) detector with in situ object counting system (ISOCS) software at the same sites. In addition, the radioactive cesium in the ground of Jeju Island, South Korea, was determined with the same assumption of the source distribution between measurements using two detectors. Conclusion: Good agreement between both detectors was achieved in the in situ gamma-ray spectrometry of natural as well as artificial radionuclides in the ground. This means that an $LaBr_3(Ce)$ detector can produce reliable and stable results of radioactivity in the ground from the measured energy spectrum of incident gamma-rays at 1 m above the ground.

A study was conducted to evaluate the nutritive potential value of different aquatic plants: duckweed (Lemna trisulaca), duckweed (Lemna perpusila), azolla (Azolla pinnata) and water-hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) from Bangladesh. A wide variability in protein, mineral composition, gas production, microbial protein synthesis, rumen degradable nitrogen and in situ dry matter and crude protein degradability were recorded among species. Crude protein content ranged from 139 to 330 g/kg dry matter (DM). All species were relatively high in Ca, P, Na, content and very rich in K, Fe, Mg, Mn, Cu and Zn concentration. The rate of gas production was highest in azolla and lowest in water-hyacinth. A similar trend was observed with in situ DM degradability. Crude protein degradability was highest in duckweed. Microbial protein formation at 24 h incubation ranged from 38.6-47.2 mg and in vitro rumen degradable nitrogen between 31.5 and 48.4%. Based on the present findings it is concluded that aquatic species have potential as supplementary diet to livestock.

Ni$_{81}$$Fe_{19}$(200 nm) thin films have been deposited by RF-magnetron sputtering on Si(001) substrates, Atomic force microscopy(AFM), X-ray diffraction(XRD) and magnetoresistance(MR) measurements of the thin films for investigating electromagnetic properties and microstructures were employed. During field annelaing for 1hr, there was no big difference n XRD patterns of Ni$_{81}$$Fe_{19}$ thin films. However, there was a significant change in XRD patterns of Ni$_{81}$$Fe_{19}$ thin films deposited at 40$0^{\circ}C$ during in-situ magnetic field deposition. The degree of surface roughness increased with increasing annealing and deposition temperature. With variation of surface roughness, there was no significant difference in MR Characteristics of Ni$_{18}$ $Fe_{19}$ thin films in 1hr-annealed case. High MR ratio was observed in the case of in-situ field deposited Ni$_{81}$$Fe_{19}$ films. 19/ films.

As the field of application of in-situ gamma spectroscopy is diversified, proficiency is required for consistent and accurate analysis. In this study, a program was developed to virtually create gamma energy spectra of artificial nuclides, which are difficult to obtain through actual measurements, for training. The virtual spectrum was created by synthesizing the spectra of the background radiation obtained through actual measurement and the theoretical spectra of the artificial radionuclides obtained by a Monte Carlo simulation. Since the theoretical spectrum can only be obtained for a given geometrical structure, representative major geometries for in-situ measurement (ground surface, concrete wall, radioactive waste drum) and the detectors (HPGe, NaI(Tl), LaBr₃(Ce)) were predetermined. Generated virtual spectra were verified in terms of validity and harmonization by gamma spectrometry and energy calibration. As a result, it was confirmed that the energy calibration results including the peaks of the measured spectrum and the peaks of the theoretical spectrum showed differences of less than 1 keV from the actual energies, and that the calculated radioactivity showed a difference within 20% from the actual inputted radioactivity. The verified data were assembled into a database and a program that can generate a virtual spectrum of desired condition was developed.

본 논문에서는 64채널 디지털 보청기의 주파수 채널 별 비선형 압축을 위한 휘팅 기법을 연구하였다. 청력 검사 결과로부터 수행되는 기존의 휘팅 포뮬라 기법과 달리, 귓속형 보청기를 사용자가 외이도에 착용한 상태에서 고막에서의 청력 역치를 측정하여 이를 휘팅에 적용하였다. 또한 외부 음성 음압의 주파수 별 분포도를 활용하여 입력 음압 대비 출력 음압 압축 곡선을 구현하였다. FFT-iFFT 방식의 이론적 압축 연구 결과를 실험적으로도 검증하였으며, 입력음압 레벨이 각각 50 dB, 70 dB, 90 dB일 때의 증폭 이득 곡선을 보여주었다.

연구목적: 본 연구는 국내 도심지 굴착시 흔히 마주치는 암반을 포함한 다층토 지반에서 앵커지지 흙막이 구조물의 합리적인 안전관리방법에 대해 서술하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 연구방법: 흙막이 굴착공사의 붕괴사례 현장으로부터 수집한 현장 계측자료를 바탕으로 깊은 굴착시 앵커지지 흙막이벽체의 수평변위속도 관점에서 흙막이 구조물의 안전관리방법에 대해 접근하였다. 연구결과: 붕괴구간의 흙막이벽체 평균 최대수평변위속도는 굴토완료 이후에 뚜렷하게 증가하는 추세를 보였다. 특히, 암반 불연속면을 따라 발생하는 슬라이딩에 의한 흙막이 구조물 붕괴는 비교적 짧은 시간에 상당히 큰 변위속도를 나타냈다. 결론: 본 연구를 통해 굴착공사중 흙막이 구조물 붕괴 사고를 사전에 예측하고 예방하기 위해 국내 현장에서 일반적으로 적용되어온 수평변위에 의한 정량적인 관리기준보다는 수평 변위속도에 의한 안전관리기준의 활용은 흙막이 굴착공사의 안전성을 판단하는데 훨씬 합리적인 것으로 나타났다.
