Data quality and climate forecasting performance deteriorates because of long climate data contaminated by non-climatic factors such as the station relocation or new instrument replacement. For a trusted climate forecast, it is necessary to implement data quality control and test inhomogeneous data. Before the inhomogeneity test, a reference series was created by $d$ index to measure the temperature series relationship between the candidate and surrounding stations. In this study, a inhomogeneity test to each season and climatological station was performed on the daily mean temperatures, daily minimum temperatures and daily maximum temperatures. After comparing two inhomogeneity tests, the traditional and the adjusted SNHT method, we found the adjusted SNHT method was slightly superior to the traditional one.

The standard master curve (MC) approach has the major limitation because it is only applicable to homogeneous datasets. In nature, materials are macroscopically inhomogeneous and involve scatter of fracture toughness data due to various deterministic material inhomogeneity and random inhomogeneity. RPV(reactor pressure vessel) steel has different fracture toughness with varying distance from the inner surface of the wall due to cooling rate in manufacturing process; deterministic inhomogeneity. On the other hand, reference temperature, $T_0$, used in the evaluation of fracture toughness is acting as a random parameter in the evaluation of welding region; random inhomogeneity. In the present paper, four regions, the surface, 1/8T, 1/4T and 1/2T, were considered for fracture toughness specimens of KSNP (Korean Standard Nuclear Plant) SA508 Gr. 3 steel to investigate deterministic material inhomogeneity and random inhomogeneity. Fracture toughness tests were carried out for four regions and three test temperatures in the transition region. Fracture toughness evaluation was performed using the bimodal master curve (BMC) approach which is applicable to the inhomogeneous material. The results of the bimodal master curve analyses were compared with that of conventional master curve analyses. As a result, the bimodal master approach considering inhomogeneous materials provides better description of scatter in fracture toughness data than conventional master curve analysis. However, the difference in the $T_0$ determined by two master curve approaches was insignificant.

The main idea of the Alcock-Paczynski (AP) test is that, if we use a wrong distance-redshift relation to infer the shape of a spherical object in the Universe, this object may look non-spherical. To probe the cosmic expansion history through the AP test, the key point is to find something which is known as spherical in the Universe. We propose two possible ways applying the AP test to the large scale structure (LSS): 1) Based on the observed galaxies or quasars, one built up the beta-skeleton tracing the LSS, and investigating the inhomogeneity of the connections; 2) One reconstructs the smoothed density-contrast gradient field based on LSS observations, and investigating the inhomogeneity of the gradient vectors. Compared with some existed methods probing AP effect through 2-point correlation function, galaxy pairs, or voids, our methods have various advantages: 1) The information of both the high and low dense regions of the LSS are taken into account. 2) The redshift space distortion as the main contamination to the AP effect can be easily removed.

This study employs the microshear test method to examine the local mechanical properties of narrow-gap welded joints, revealing the mechanical inhomogeneity by evaluating the microshear strength, stress-strain curves, and failure strain. On this basis, the influence of weld joints micromechanical inhomogeneity on the crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) fracture toughness is investigated. From the root weld layer to the cover weld layer, the fracture toughness at the center of the weld seam demonstrates an increasing trend, with the experimental and calculated CTOD values showing a good correspondence. The microproperties of the welded joints significantly impact the load-bearing capacity and fracture toughness. During the deformation process of the "low-matching" microregions, the plastic zone expansion is hindered by the surrounding microregion strength constraints, thus reducing the fracture toughness. In contrast, during the deformation of the "high-matching" microregions, the surrounding microregions absorb some of the loading energy, partially releasing the concentrated stress at the crack tip, which in turn increases the fracture toughness.

Brazing fitting which is one of the aircraft hydraulic power system components is widely used for saving weight and achieving higher reliability. Any inherent defects or damage of fitting can cause system failure and/or physical damage of human body due to highly pressurized fluid. Radiographic testing(RT) technique and additional micro-structure investigation on cut-away surfaces have been accomplished to find out some defect-like-inhomogeneity in the fittings. The radiography results showed that some defect-like-inhomogeneity existed inside body. Additional micro-structure investigation on cut-away surface reveals that the inhomogeneity is due to internal voids. In this study, it can be is said that RT technique can be a useful tool for field acceptance test of hydraulic brazing fitting in short time.

HCCI엔진에는 농도성층화와 열적성층화가 존재하고, 이것들은 착화와 연소과정에 영향을 미치고 있다. 본 연구에서는 예혼합기의 불균질성이 HCCI연소과정에 미치는 영향에 대해서 조사하였다. 우선 4행정광학엔진을 이용하여 잔류가스가 있는 경우와 급속압축장치를 이용하여 잔류가스가 없는 경우의 예혼합기의 불균질성에 대하여 비교분석하였다. DME를 연료로 이용하고 프래밍카메라를 사용하여 2차원화학발광이미지를 취득하였다. 그 결과, 잔류가스가 있는 불균질 한 경우에 4행정엔진실험에서는 연소현상이 공간적으로 연소현상의 시간차이가 발생하였다. 잔류가스가 없는 급속압축장치의 실험에서는 4행정기관의 결과에 비해서 더 적은 공간적인 변화가 존재하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

In this work, we discuss segmentation algorithms based on the level set method that incorporates shape prior knowledge. Fundamental segmentation models fail to segment desirable objects from a background when the objects are occluded by others or missing parts of their whole. To overcome these difficulties, we incorporate shape prior knowledge into a new segmentation energy that, uses global and local image information to construct the energy functional. This method improves upon other methods found in the literature and segments images with intensity inhomogeneity, even when images have missing or misleading information due to occlusions, noise, or low-contrast. We consider the case when the shape prior is placed exactly at the locations of the desired objects and the case when the shape prior is placed at arbitrary locations. We test our methods on various images and compare them to other existing methods. Experimental results show that our methods are not only accurate and computationally efficient, but faster than existing methods as well.

Various monitoring techniques are now available for structural health monitoring and Acoustic Emission (AE) is one of them. One of the major advantages of the AE technique is its capability to locate active cracks in structural members. AE crack locating approaches are affected by the signal attenuation and dispersion of elastic waves due to inhomogeneity and geometry of reinforced concrete (RC) members. In this paper, a novel technique is described based on signal processing and sensor arrangement to process multisensory AE data generated by the onset and propagation of cracks and is validated with experimental results from an in-situ load test. Considering the sources of uncertainty in the AE crack location process, a methodology is proposed to capture and locate events generated by cracks. In particular, the relationship between AE events and load is analyzed, and the feasibility of using the AE technique to evaluate the cracking behavior of two RC slab strips during loading to failure is studied.

흑연분말 첨가가 탄소/탄소 복합재료의 물성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 연구하였다. 페놀수지에 흑연분말을 0~30wt.%첨가하여 greenbody(G/B)를 제조하고 이를 $1000^{\circ}C$까지 탄화시켜 탄소/탄소 복합재료를 제조하였다. 굽힘특성은 G/B와 탄소/탄소 복합재료 모두 흑연분말 20wt.% 첨가시 최대치를 보였으며, 그 이상에서는 수지 내의inhomogeneity 증가 때문에 굽힘강도가 감소하였다. 페놀수지만을 경화시킨 경우에는 흑연분말을 20wt.% 첨가한 수지의 굽힘 강도가 첨가하지 않은 수지의 경우보다 낮은 값을 보였으나, 탄화 후에는 혹연분말의 첨가가 탄화수축 감소와 균열경로를 바꾸어 주는 효과를 주어서, 분말을 첨가한 시편의 굽힘 강도가 3배 이상 증가하였다. Mode II ENF 시험결과, G/B와 탄소/탄소 복합재료 모두 20wt.%의 흑연분말 첨가시에 에너지해방율($G_{II}$)이 증가하였으나, 분말의 첨가가 탄소/탄소 복합재료에 더 효과적임을 에너지해방율의 증가치로부터 확인할 수 있었다.

Radiation Therapy has been used in the treatment of breast cancer for over 80 years. Technically, it should include a part or all of such areas as chest wall or breast, axilla, internam mammary nodes and supraclavicular nodes. The purpose of this study is treated breast cancer patient to use 6 MV, 10 MV with bolus so that we observe changing of skin dose and evaluate those usefulness. Using woman's phantom, after CT simulate scanning, Through RTP system to make treatment plan, select three any place. And then, we measure that dose rate. After moving the phantom to linac, we put for TLD to three point same as RTP system which we put on the phantom. We exposed 6 MV, 10 MV with bolus and without so that it is measured dose by TLD device(4000 Harshaw). As a reult expose 6 MV,10 MV, it differences 10%, 15% according to bolus and withoout bolus where lateral point from RAO, LPO beam, other one is 20% where the furthest from both beams. To use bolus in the hospital is material to include closely part at skin among tissue of breast cancer. Acquired skin dose from RTP system is uncertainity. So it has to test another system likely TLD or other dosimetry system. Also exposed field of breast cancer is included inhomogeneity such as lung, bone and so on. Therefore it has to be accomplished a dose calculating of inhomogeneity part from treatment plan.
