Since the 90's, EDF and AREVA-NP have irradiated, up to very high burnups, lead assemblies housing $M5^{(R)}$ cladded fuels. Post-irradiation examination of high burnup $UO_2$ pellets show an increase in the fission-gas release rate, an increase in fuel swelling, and formation of fission-gas bubbles throughout the pellets. Xenon abundances were quantified, and phenomena leading to this bubble formation were identified. All examinations provided valuable data on the complex state of the fuel during irradiation. They show the good behavior of these fuels, exhibiting various microstructures at very high burnups, none of which is likely to lead to problems during irradiation.

The formation of polyaniline (PANI) in the reverse micelles of poly(oxyethylene) nonylphenyl ether, $(NP5, H(CH_2)_9Ph(OC_2H_4)_5OH)$, was investigated by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). The reverse micellar solution containing initiators in the inner part of reverse micelle was prepared with surfactant (NP5), water, cyclohexane and an initiator (ammonium persulfate (APS)). The core-shell sphere model containing smearing effect reveals that the polymerization occurs on the shell layer of the reverse micelles. Shell thickness averages varied from 48 $\AA$ to 109 $\AA$ with increases of monomer concentration.

We have developed the yttrium oxide (YNP) or ytterbium oxide (YbNP) nanoparticle/polymer matrices for the size-dependent separation of DNA ranging from 100 bp to 9,000 bp. High separation efficiency (> $10^6$ plates/m) and the baseline resolution for various DNA standards (100 bp, 500 bp, and 1 kbp DNA ladder) were obtained in 10 min with these matrices. The effects of concentrations of both polyethylene oxide (PEO) and nanoparticles were investigated and the highest performance was obtained at 0.02% PEO with 0.02% YNP or YbNP. Similar sieving power for both YNP and YbNP matrices was observed probably due to the similar sizes of nanoparticles, resulting in the formation of comparable sieving networks for DNA separation. For the reduction of electrosmotic flow, either dynamic or permanent coating of the capillary inner wall was compared and it turned out that PEO was superior to polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) or polyacrylamide (PAA) for better separation efficiency.

방사성폐액 중 주요 핵종인 $^{241}Am$, $^{152}Eu$ 및 $^{237}Np$를 선정하여 추출제 di-(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid를 사용한 용매추출법으로 이들 세 가지 핵종의 상호분리에 대해 연구하였다. $^{237}Np$의 추출율을 향상시키기 위해 환원제로 $H_2O_2$를 첨가하여 추출한 결과 $^{241}Am$, $^{152}Eu$ 및 $^{237}Np$ 핵종 모두 99.9% 이상 추출할 수 있었다. 추출된 $^{241}Am$, $^{152}Eu$ 및 $^{237}Np$는 세 단계의 역추출과정을 통해 상호분리한 결과 $^{152}Eu$와 $^{237}Np$의 경우 상호분리도가 좋았으나, $^{241}Am$의 경우 약 7~9.6%의 $^{152}Eu$와 $^{237}Np$가 동반 역추출되어 $^{241}Am$ 용액에 대한 정제과정이 추가로 요구되었다. 용매재생과정에서 생성되는 제3상의 생성원인과 해결방법에 대해서도 논하였다.

The Japanese language, as a typical agglutinating language, permits large noun phrases (NP) containing ten or more morphemes. In this paper, we argue that the nature of the NP in Japanese is changing. Our data are drawn from the Balanced Corpus of Contemporary Written Japanese. We conduct a series of apparent-time studies of ongoing changes in complex NPs. We first examine the length of compound nouns, followed by the usage of bound suffixes. We then examine ongoing changes in complex NPs that contain genitive case markers. Finally, we examine noun incorporation. All of our studies show a trend towards shorter, less complex NPs. Furthermore, our results suggest that the usage rate of phrases that modify the noun inside the NP (compound nouns, bound nouns, NPs containing genitive case, noun incorporation) appears to be decreasing over time. On the other hand, the usage rate of modifying material outside of the NP (positional phrases, relative clauses) appears to be increasing over time. We conclude by suggesting that our results reflect a diachronic change of decreasing synthetic morphology and increasing analytic morphology. We end by pointing out the implications of this work on our understanding syntheticity and analyticity.

본 연구에서는 망간산화물 존재 하에서의 1-naphthol(1-NP)의 산화-결합반응을 통한 변환반응과 반응산물을 조사하였다. 변환 반응에 의해 생성된 반응산물을 대상으로 한 용매 추출과 HPLC, GC/MS, LC/MS 및 UV-Vis. 흡광특성 분석 등을 통해 반응산물의 분자 구조특성을 규명하였다. 반응 상등액에서 검출된 반응산물은 모두 1-NP에 비하여 높은 극성을 보였다. 주요 반응산물로는 1,4-naphthoquinon(1,4-NPQ)와 dimer, trimer 등의 소 중합체(oligomers)를 포함하며 특히, 용매추출$(CH_2Cl_2)$ 후 수용액에 잔류하는 친수성 형태의 반응산물은 다양한 분자량의(m/z=$400\sim2000$) 중합체로서 토양 휴믹물질(풀빅산)과 유사한 형태의 UV-Vis 흡광특성을 보였다. 또한, 비 반응성 생성물인 1,4-NPQ는 1-NP 존재 하에서 망간산화물에 의한 교차-결합(cross-coupling)을 통해 중합체로 변환될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 본 실험조건(20.5 mg/L, 1-NP, 2.5 g/L $MnO_2$, pH 5)에서 산화-결합 반응에 의한 중합체 형성으로 제거되는 1-NP의 양(mg/L)은 초기농도 대비 약 83%에 해당하며, 이들 중 약 30% 정도는 침전층에서 중류수와 메탄올$(CH_3OH)$에 의해 추출되지 않는 안정화된 형태의 불용성 중합체 생성물로 존재하였다. 이상의 결과는 망간산화물에 의한 산화-결합반응이 naphthol 오염토양의 처리에 있어서 소 중합체와 중합체 침전물로의 변환을 통한 오염 저감 및 제거 효과를 나타냄을 제시한다.

The machine-part cell formation means the grouping of similar parts and similar machines into families in order to minimize bottleneck machines, bottleneck parts, and inter-cell part movements in cellular manufacturing systems and flexible manufacturing systems. The cell formation problem is knows as a kind of NP complete problems. This paper briefly introduces the cell-formation problem and proposes a cell formation method based on the Kohonen's self-organizing feature map which is a neural network model. It also shows some experiment results using the proposed method. The proposed method can be easily applied to the cell formation problem compared to other meta-heuristic based methods. In addition, it can be used to solve large-scale cell formation problems.

This paper deals with a cell formation problem for a set of m-machines and n-processing parts. Generally, a cell formation problem is known as NP-completeness. Hence the cell formation problem with multiple objectives is more difficult than single objective problem. The paper considers multiple objectives; minimize number of intercell movements, minimize intracell workload variation and minimize intercell workload variation. We propose a multiple objective genetic algorithms(MOGA) resolving the mentioned three objectives. The MOGA procedure adopted Pareto optimal solution for selection method for next generation and the concept of Euclidean distance from the ideal and negative ideal solution for fitness test of a individual. As we consider several weights, decision maker will be reflected his consideration by adjusting high weights for important objective. A numerical example is given for a comparative analysis with the results of other research.

본 연구에서는 서로 다른 종류의 TiO₂ 혼입이 시멘트 페이스트의 수화특성 및 질소산화물 제거성능에 미치는 영향에 대해 조사하였다. 상용 제품인 P-25와 NP-400, 폐수 슬러지에서 제조된 GST, 총 세 종류의 TiO₂를 시멘트 무게대비 0, 5, 10, 20 % 첨가하여 시멘트 페이스트의 수화특성 및 질소산화물 제거성능을 분석하였다. 미소수화열 측정결과 TiO₂의 혼입은 시멘트 페이스트의 초기 수화반응에 큰 영향을 미치는 것이 확인되었으며, P-25, NP-400, GST 순으로 더 높은 누적 발열량을 나타내었다. 이로 인해 Rietveld 분석결과 TiO₂ 혼입 샘플에서 더 많은 C-S-H의 생성량이 관찰되었으며, 이는 TiO₂ 혼입 시멘트 페이스트의 28일 압축강도 증가에 영향을 미친 것으로 판단된다. SEM/EDS 분석결과 P-25, GST, NP-400 순으로 페이스트 샘플 표면에 더 많은 Ti 원소의 함량이 관찰되었지만, NO_x 제거 성능은 P-25, NP-400, GST 순으로 우수한 것으로 확인되었다.

Nocardiopsis species produce bioactive compounds, such as antimicrobial and anti-cancer agents and toxins. However, no reports have described their anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects during nasal polyp (NP) formation. In this study, we investigated whether marine-derived bacterial Nocardiopsis sp. 13G027 exerts anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1-induced NP-derived fibroblasts (NPDFs). Nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂) levels were analyzed. Extract from Nocardiopsis sp. 13G027 significantly inhibited the upregulation of NO and PGE₂ in LPS-activated RAW 264.7 macrophages. The expression of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and protein kinase B (Akt/PKB) in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 macrophages was evaluated; smooth muscle alpha-actin (α-SMA), collagen type I (Col-1), and fibronectin also phosphorylated small mothers against decapentaplegic (SMAD) 2 and 3 in TGF-β1-stimulated NPDFs. The Nocardiopsis sp. 13G027 extract suppressed the phosphorylation of MAPKs and Akt and the DNA-binding activity of activator protein 1 (AP-1). The expression of pro-fibrotic components such as α-SMA, Col-1, fibronectin, and SMAD2/3 was inhibited in TGF-β1-exposed NPDFs. These findings suggest that Nocardiopsis sp. 13G027 has the potential to treat inflammatory disorders, such as NP formation.
