To evaluate heat environment surrounding plants diurnal change of leaf temperature in the broad-leaved deciduous and evergreen trees was measured with microclimatic environmental factors including global solar radiation, and upward and downward long wave radiation. Maximum daily solar radiation was 961.2 and 976.3 w/$m^2$ in August 9 and 23, respectively. Upward long wave radiation was slightly higher than downward long wave radiation, showing 404.2 w/$m^2$ in August 9 and 394.5 w/$m^2$ in August 23. In addition, daily maximum vapor pressure deficit was 5.42 and 6.84 kPa in August 9 and 23, respectively, indicating high evaporative demand. Quercus glauca and Acer mono was differently responded to changing light regimes. On August 9, leaf temperature at the top-positioned leaves of Acer plants was higher than air temperature as well as those of Quercus plants in the morning. This indicates that stomata in Acer plants were closed by heat stress or water stress in the morning, while Quercus plant maintained active transpiration by opening stomata. These results indicated that improved light regimes such as gap opening in the closed forest may not always affect positively in the physiology of understory plants.

Noise produced by surface transportation vehicles affects our daily lives, penetrating wherver man lives or works. In this paper, a theoretical model has been studied to describe the sound radiation by the surface vibration of in-service tires and studied about an experiment on sound radiation characteristic due to tire vibration. When a tire is analyzed, it has been modeled as a curved beams with distributed sprongs and dash-pots which represent the radial, tangential stiffnes and damping of tire, respectively. The experimental investigation for the sound radiation of a radial tire has been made. Based on the sound intensity and STSF(Spatial Transformation of Sound Field) techniques. the sound pressure and the sound radiation are measured. The comparison of numerically analyzed results with experimental results was made seperately for the tire in rotation. As a result of this study, a program for the prediction of the tire vibration sound radiation was intended to by developed which enables a designer of a tire to foresee the influence of the various design factors on the tire vibration sound radiation.

원전 계획예방정비기간 증기발생기 수실작업, 가압기 전열관교체 또는 압력관피더 제거작업 지역 등은 높은 방사선량률을 보이는 지역으로, 짧은 시간 동안의 작업으로 작업종사자는 높은 피폭을 받을 가능성이 있다. 특히, 방사성물질과 접촉하는 손 부위는 높은 피폭이 일어날 수 있다. 이런 점을 고려하여 국내 가압경수로원전과 가압중수로원전의 계획 예방정비기간 중 증기발생기 수실 노즐댐 설치와 제거작업, 원자로 냉각재펌프 보수작업, 원자로헤드 보수 및 검사작업 등과 같은 고피폭 접촉작업에서 방사선작업종사자의 말단선량을 측정하기위한 현장시험을 실시하였다. 여기에 참여한 작업종사자는 가슴과 등 부위에 일상적인 절차에 따른 복수선량계를 패용한 것 이외에 손목에 개인선량계를 추가로 패용하였고, 손가락 부위에는 말단선량계 (Extremity dosimeter)를 패용하였다. 그 결과, 손가락이 받는 등가선량은 각각 손목이 받는 등가선량 및 가슴 또는 등 부위가 받는 등가선량과 일정한 비율로 평가됨을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 소형 물체가 음파 정상파의 압력 마디 부근에 소형 물체가 부양하는 정상파 음파 공중부양(standing wave acoustic levitation) 현상에 대해 베르누이 원리를 이용하여 부양의 원인이 되는 음향 방사힘(acoustic radiation force)의 근원과 개형을 기존에 알려진 진동자에서 떨어진 거리에 따른 음향 방사힘의 그래프와 비교함을 통해 개념적으로 설명했다. 이러한 설명을 뒷받침하는 일련의 실험들을 BLT(Bolt-clamped Langevin Type) 초음파 진동자를 이용해서 수행하여, 물체들이 공기의 압력 마디 부근에 부양하고 있음을 확인했고, 물체가 부양하고 있는 상태에서 정상파가 형성되는 조건임을 확인했다. 더불어, 정상파 음파 공중부양 현상에서 부양하는 물체들이 수직하게 일렬로 정렬하는 현상 역시 설명할 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the radiation effect on damage when the external shield of the spent nuclear fuel transport cask is damaged due to impact as the cause of an unexpected accident. The neutron and gamma-ray intensities and spectra are calculated using the ORIGEN-Arp module in the SCALE 6.2.4 code package⁽¹⁾ and then using MCNP6.2⁽²⁾ code calculate the dose rate. In order to evaluate the radiation dose according to the size of damage caused by external impact, various sized holes of 0.3~13.7% are assumed in the outer shield of the cask to evaluate the sensitivity to the dose. In the case of radiation source leakage, damage to the nuclear fuel assembly is assumed to be up to 6% based on overseas test cases. When only the outer shield is damaged, the maximum surface dose is calculated as 3.12E+03 mSv/hr. However, if the radiation source is leaked due to damage to the nuclear fuel assembly, it becomes 7.00E+05 mSv/hr which is about 200 times greater than the former case.

Objective: To determine the incidence and etiologies of celiac axis stenosis in asymptomatic individuals. Materials and Methods: This prospective study involved 400 consecutive patients (male: 319, female: 81) referred to us for celiac arteriography between April and July 1999. When celiac axis branches were opacified by collateral circulation during superior mesenteric arteriography, the presence of celiac axis stenosis was suspected; lateral projection celiac arteriography was performed and the pressure gradient was measured. The indicators used to determine whether or not celiac axis stenosis was significant were luminal narrowing of more than 50% and a resultant pressure gradient of at least 10 mmHg. Its etiology was determined on the basis of angiographic appearances and CT findings. Results: Twenty-nine patients (7.3%) had celiac axis stenosis. The etiology of the condition was extrinsic compression due to the median arcuate ligament in 16 patients (55%) and atherosclerosis in three (10%), while in ten (35%) it was not determined. The incidence of celiac axis stenosis did not vary significantly according to sex, age and the presence of calcified aortic plaque representing atherosclerosis. Conclusion: The incidence of hemodynamically significant celiac axis stenosis in this asymptomatic Korean population was 7.3% and the most important etiology was extrinsic compression by the median arcuate ligament of the diaphragm. Atherosclerosis was only a minor cause of the condition.

A method for determining impulsive responses and acoustic radiation for submerged shells of finite length has been presented. The method is a modal-based method, and uses a surface variational principle to obtain data in the frequency domain. The fast Fourier transform technique is used to convert the data to the time domain. The surface pressure responses of a cylindrical shell with endcaps wer compared with those of an infinite shell. It was shown that the surface pressures coincide exactly before any significant reflections from the endcaps occur. Traces of different types of waves were identified from the dispersion relations of the infinite shell. The contributions of flexural and longitudinal waves and these due to the direct radiation from the driving force to the fluid pressure were demonstrated using near-field plots. The exchange of energy between the shell and fluid was examined for shells with and without bulkheads. It was shown that a significant amount of the energy which enters the fluid returns to the shell and most of the energy is dissipated in the shell. It was also shown that the shell with bulkheads radiate significantly more energy into the far-field than the empty shell.

A case report of a patient who developed radiation-induced sarcoma in the left chest wall is presented. The patient had partial mastectomy and adjuvant radiation therapy (total dose, 5,220 cGy) and chemotherapy. Five years later, she visited with rapidly growing mass with central ulceration in the irradiated chest wall. The mass was diagnosed as malignant fibrous histiocytoma. The chest wall mass resected en bloc ($23{\times}18cm$) including five consecutive ribs. After the defected thoracic cage was reinforced using a polytetrafluoroethylene patch, omental flap and split thickness skin graft was done for soft tissue coverage. We applied negative pressure wound closer system for effective suction of omeantal exudate. The wound healed without complications. The patient suffered no perioperative pulmonary complications. Pulmonary function tests showed no significant changes. Each of Gore-Tex, omental flap, negative pressure wound therapy and skin graft is widely used method. However, If these methods are used in combination, we can reconstruct the large defect of chest wall including multiple ribs without any repiratory function problems.

Due to neutron radiation, atomic displacement has a significant effect on material in nuclear reactors. A range of secondary displacement models, including the Kinchin-Pease (K-P), Lindhard, Norgett-Robinson-Torrens (NRT), and athermal recombination-corrected displacement per atom (arc-dpa) have been suggested to calculate the number of displacement per atom (dpa). As neutron elastic interaction is the main cause of displacement damage, the focus of the current study is to calculate the atomic displacement caused by the neutron elastic interaction in order to estimate the exact amount of yield strength in a WWER-1000 reactor pressure vessel. To achieve this purpose, the reactor core is simulated by MCNPX code. In addition, a program is developed to calculate the elastic radiation damage induced by the incident neutron flux (RADIX) based on different models using Fortran programming language. Also, due to non-elastic interaction, the displacement damage is calculated by the HEATR module of the NJOY code. ASME E-693-01 standard, SPECTER, NJOY codes, and other pervious findings have been used to validate RADIX results. The results showed that the RADIX(arc-dpa)/HEATR outputs have appropriate accuracy. The relative error of the calculated dpa resulting from RADIX(arc-dpa)/HEATR is about 8% and 46% less than NJOY code, respectively in the ¼ and ¾ vessel wall.

Talc (Mg3Si4O10(OH)2), one of the sheet silicate minerals, which is the hydrothermal alteration product of serpentinite at Cheongarm mine was prepared for the high pressure compressibility studies. Energy dispersive X-ray diffraction experiment was carried out using the Synchrotron Radiation with the Mao-Bell type diamond anvil cell at room temperature. Polycrystalline talc was mixed with MgO powder for pressure sensor as well as pressure medium in the sample chamber. High pressure runs were performed at pressures up to 35.2 GPa. Talc shows no phase transition within the present high pressure region. Bulk modulus of this talc was determined by the Birch-Murnaghan equation of state to be 78 GPa assuming its first pressure derivative Ko' of 4.
