Computational and experimental studies on a forward-sweep inducer for turbopumps were performed to see the effect of the blade sweep on the suction performance of the inducer. Computational results show that backflows at the inlet decrease in the case of the forward-sweep inducer by inhibiting pre-rotation of the inflow and the low pressure region near the tip also diminishes, which is presumed to improve the suction performance of the inducer. The predicted suction performance of the inducer is compared with the experimental result. The result shows that the computation overestimates the suction performance of the inducer compared to the value from the experiment.

A performance prediction model for Small Hydro Power(SHP) sites has been studied and developed. Twelve SHP sites were selected and the performance characteristics were analyzed by using the developed model. Also, primary design specifications such as design flowrate, plant capacity, operational rate were suggested and feasibility for small hydro power sites were estimated. It was found that the design flowrate is most important parameter to exploit SHP plant and the methodology developed in this study can be a useful tool to analyze the performance of SHP sites.

In this study, the fire resistance performance of the concrete-filled steel tube (CFT) columns and thin steel-plate composite (TSC) beams installed at a 20-story office building were designed using a performance-based structural fire design. Because of the lack of any specific provisions in the building code and guidelines for structural engineers about the performance-based approach, the only prescriptive approach has been selected for designing fire-resistant structures in Korea. To evaluate the fire resistance performance of the CFT columns and TSC beams, finite element analysis verified by the experimental results studied by several researchers was conducted with ABAQUS. From the fire scenario, the temperature distributions of the CFT columns and TSC beams were found via finite element analysis and the behaviors of the CFT columns and TSC beams were investigated in the structural field based on the temperature distribution.

Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) systems are integral to modern analytical laboratories, necessitating careful maintenance and operation protocols to ensure optimal performance. This document provides comprehensive guidelines for the proper shutdown and reactivation of UHPLC systems to prevent damage and maintain operational efficiency. • Shutdown: Remove the column and replace it with a union to avoid blockages. Flush the system with a compatible solvent mix, clean mobile phase reservoirs to prevent microbial growth, flush the pump with storage solvent, and clean the autosampler, including the needle and injection port. • Reactivation: Inspect the system for wear or damage, gradually reintroduce mobile phases starting with a weak solvent, reinstall the column securely, and perform system checks on baseline stability, pressure consistency, and detector performance. By adhering to these guidelines, laboratories can ensure the longevity and reliability of their UHPLC systems, maintaining high analytical performance and minimizing downtime. These procedures help prevent common issues such as blockages, contamination, and component wear, thereby supporting efficient and accurate analytical operations.

본 연구에서는 북한 건설환경을 고려한 초고성능 콘크리트 프리캐스트 교량 시스템을 개발하고자 한다. 맞춤형 교량 시스템은 최근에 개발된 압축강도 120MPa 이상, 직접인장강도 7MPa 이상을 갖는 초고성능 콘크리트를 적용하여 설계, 제작 및 구조성능평가를 통하여 북한의 적용 가능성을 분석하였다. 설계를 위해 북한의 자동차짐(30, 40, 55)을 남한의 KL-510 하중과 비교한 결과, 하중이 증가함에 따라 단면이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 구조성능평가를 위하여 지간장 30m 교량 실험체를 초고성능 콘크리트를 이용하여 제작하였다. 휨 실험을 통하여 하중 분석을 수행한 결과, 설계하중 대비 측정하중은 초기균열하중상태에서 약 167%의 단면성능과 극한한계상태에서 약 134% 이상의 내하력을 확보하여 본 실험에서 요구하는 성능을 만족하였다. 이러한 결과는 기존의 강합성 거더교로 제작하는 장지간 교량 대비 약 11%의 상부공사비가 감소하는 것으로 분석되었다. 그러므로, 본 연구를 통하여 개발된 60m 이상 장지간 맞춤형 교량 시스템을 활용한다면 충분한 가격 경쟁력을 확보 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Objective: This study describes the change of operator performance in drastic change of illumination level, and proposes an alternative method to cope with it. Background: The control standard of illumination for nuclear power plants(NPPs) is based on the set of limit criteria for maintaining a specific illumination level. However, there is a possibility to cause human errors according to the psychological and physiological influences to operators in the situation of drastic change of illumination such as SBO(Station Black Out), so a basic study is necessary to review the current approach. Method: We assessed the visual fatigue, subjective work load and task performance according to the three illumination situations(Normal Illumination, Emergency Illumination, and Drastic Change of Illumination). Result: Research finding shows that there are not significant differences in task performance between normal illumination (1,000lx level) and emergency illumination (100lx level), only if beyond the dark adaptation limit. However, subjective work load on mental demand and visual fatigue show a potential challenge to visual performance in drastic change of illumination. Conclusion/Application: Several trials can complement this challenge in NPPs by applying 3-way communication, enhancing readability of procedures, and managing the visual factors affecting the operators' performance through a Visual Environment Management Program including visual health aspects, etc.

This study analyzes the business performance of research and development(R&D) and especially studies the effect of technology management activity and technology innovation competency on commercialization performance. According to previous studies, the technology management activity can be composed of technological innovativeness, analysis of market, R&D method, and appropriateness for commercialization plan. Also, the technology innovation can be divided into patent, R&D manpower, R&D investment ratio, production capability, and marketing capability. On the result of the analysis, all the components of technology management activity are positively related with commercialization performance. In case of technology innovation competency, however, only production and marketing capabilities have influence on the business performance. Especially, marketing capability controls the effect of technology management activities on the commercialization performance. Consequently, technology management is very important activity for SMEs to succeed commercialization and SMEs should collaborate with production and marketing departments from the early stage of R&D.

Purpose - It seems common sense that corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a key driver of business sustainability. Nevertheless, there has been little research on the performance of socially responsible activities, including economic and environmentally responsibility activities, in internationally diversified firms. Design/methodology - The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of CSR activities on management performance. For this evaluation, an empirical analysis was conducted with total of 2,520 cases, selected from companies listed on the Korea Composite Stock Price Index market for six years from 2013 to 2018. As proxies for management performance, financial data such as a total asset net profit ratio and a total asset operating ratio were used. A multivariate regression analysis was conducted to test hypotheses. Findings - The results of this analysis indicated that firms in the CSR outstanding group were ranked significantly higher than other groups in management performance. In addition, CSR activities of internationally diversified firms positively influenced the total asset net profit ratio and total asset operating ratio. Originality/value - The results suggest that the CSR activities of these firms can play a significant role in enhancing management performance in the economic status of Korea, where the degree of export dependency is high.

RIO는 윈도우의 최신 네트워크 API로 낮은 부하와 지연을 통해 높은 IO 성능을 발휘하도록 설계되었으며. 고성능의 네트워크 IO를 요구하는 대규모 동시접속(MMO) 게임 서버에 적합할 것으로 기대된다. 또한 HTM은 기존의 멀티스레드 동기화 방식보다 생산성과 성능이 우수하여 MMO 게임 서버에 적용 시 성능향상이 예상된다. 본 논문에서는 MMO 게임 서버에 RIO를 적용함과 동시에 RIO의 성능을 최대한 끌어내도록 구조를 개선하고, 기존의 시야 처리 알고리즘을 HTM 방식으로 변경하여 서버의 성능을 향상시켰다. 결과적으로 동시 접속자 수를 19%가량 증가시켰으며, 벤치마킹 프로그램을 사용하여 이를 검증하였다.
