  • Numerical simulations based on the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) is performed to investigate the dynamical properties of barred galaxies that have nuclear rings. The nuclear ring morphology depends on the relative strength of bar potentials. Nuclear rings form between the two ILRs and align perpendicular to the bars unless the bar potentials are strong enough to allow the x1 orbits near the ILRs. Shock dissipation plays a critical role in the formation of nuclear rings.

  • Due to safety of the plant, it became very clear the importance of study occurrence reactor coolant system (RCS) issues specially the primary water stress corrosion cracking (PWSCC). The Systems Engineering (SE) approach is characterized by the application of a structured engineering methodology for the design of a complex system or component. Robotic devices have been used for internal inspection, maintenance and performing remote welding and inspection in high-radiation areas. In this paper, PWSCC overview and inlay and over lay welding methodology introduced, concept of robotic device that can be inserted into the piping via Steam Generator (SG) main way to access to primary piping of pressurized water reactor (PWR) is developed based on SE methodology. A 3D model of the inspection system was developed along with the APR1400 (Advanced Power Reactor)reactor coolant systems (RCS) and internals with virtual 3D simulation of the operation for visualization to prove the validity of the concept.

  • Nuclear energy is considerably cheap and clean compared to other fossil fuels. Yet, there are rising safety concerns of nuclear power plants including the possibility of radiation releasing nuclear accidents. In light of the Fukushima nuclear crisis in 2011, Japan has been re-evaluating their existing energy policies and increasing the share of alternative energy. This paper first tracks the major historical changes of energy policy in Japan by time period. Next, energy security, reignited concerns and alternative energy are covered to examine Japan's energy security situation and its transition after the Fukushima disaster. Lastly, a short survey based on thematic analysis was conducted in South Korea and Japan to understand the public awareness of nuclear. This paper postulates that the case of Fukushima will contribute to establish and operate a safe-future nuclear program in South Korea, given that the country is not only geographically neighbouring Japan but also the world's fourth largest producer of nuclear energy.

  • A brief overview of the current status of Korean nuclear power development is first presented. The necessity of nuclear energy in Korea is then clarified. After presentation of these overview, the major issues of the Korean nuclear industry, such as the major obstacles for nuclear power development and the most weak areas of the Korean nuclear industry, are identified and discussed. Finally, as a conclusion, actions to be taken by the government and the nuclear industry in conjunction with increased nuclear power generation in Korea are presented.

  • Technetium-labeled phosphate bone scan was shown to detect bone fractures and bone metastasis in early stage than general radiographs. Therefore, bone scan has become one of the most frequently performed nuclear medicine imaging examination. However, non-osseous radiopharmaceutical uptake on the bone scan are unusual findings. We report a case of diffuse splenic absorption of Tc-99m dicarboxypropane diphosphonate in patients who undergo liver transplantation.

  • Korean intonation has been investigated mainly from the point of view of impressionistic phonetics and phonology. The purpose of this paper is to investigate Korean intonation especially nuclear tones, from the point of view of experimental phonetics. Since what we hear is not always the always as what we see in fundamental frequency contours, acoustic characteristics of Korean nuclear times are first discussed Based m quantitative data similar nuclear times are compared and the relationship between the nuclear ton and sentence type is investigated The relationship between the nuclear tone and the speaker's attitude is also discussed.

  • The association of replication origins/termini with nuclear matrix during S phase was investigated by DNase digestion of halo structures in synchronized mouse LPI-1 cells. The binding of parental DNA to nuclear matrix was constant throughout S phase. When nuclear matrix was isolated from the cells pulse-labeled with 3H-thvmidine at various stases of S phase, total 3H-labels associated with nuclear matrix were specifically higher at So, Sa and Ss stages than other stases of S phase, suggesting that the newly synthesized DNAs at those stages are not excluded out of nuclear matrix. Similar patterns were obsenred from the pulse-chase experiments, in which cells were pulse-labeled at each stage of S phase and further incubated for 1 hr. These results suggest that the replication origins and termini are fixed at the nuclear matrix, and that the nuclear matrix binding fractions of DNA at 3C-pause may contain a large population of replication origins and termination sites.
