Lessons learned from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident directed that multiple failures should be considered more seriously rather than single failure in the licensing bases and safety cases because attempts to take accident management measures could be unsuccessful under the high radiation environment aggravated by multiple failures, such as complete loss of electric power, uncontrollable loss of coolant inventory, failure of essential safety function recovery. In the case of the complete loss of electric power called station blackout (SBO), if there is no mitigation action for recovering safety functions, the reactor core would be overheated, and severe fuel damage could be anticipated due to the failure of the active heat sink. In such a transient condition at CANDU-6 plants, the seal failure of the primary heat transport (PHT) pumps can facilitate a consequent increase in the fuel sheath temperature and eventually lead to degradation of the fuel integrity. Therefore, it is necessary to specify the regulatory guidelines for multiple failures on a licensing basis so that licensees should prepare the accident management measures to prevent or mitigate accident conditions. In order to explore the efficiency of implementing accident management strategies for CANDU-6 plants, this study proposed a realistic accident analysis approach on the SBO transient with multiple-failure sequences such as seal failure of PHT pumps without operator's recovery actions. In this regard, a comparative study for two PHT pump seal failure modes with and without coolant seal leakage was conducted using a best-estimate code to precisely investigate the behaviors of thermal-hydraulic parameters during transient conditions. Moreover, a sensitivity analysis for different PHT pump seal leakage rates was also carried out to examine the effect of leakage rate on the system responses. This study is expected to provide the technical bases to the accident management strategy for unmitigated transient conditions with multiple failures.

This study was conducted to investigate the nutrient supplement use and its related influencing factors by high school students in Chonbuk area. Self administered questionnaires were collected from 489 (urban: 268, rural: 221). Statistical data analysis was completed using a SPSS v. 10.0 program. The results are summarized as follows. According to the general characteristic of subjects, the job and education level of parents and family monthly income respectively affected the nutrient supplement use of subjects (p<0.001). According to the living area, taking a nutrient supplement of parents and nutritional information respectively affected the nutrient supplement use of subjects (p<0.001). About 42.2% of subjects, who taking a nutrient supplement, responded to take a traditional medicine type, and 24.4% of them a multivitamin. Their mothers were important recommended person. The main reason for taking was 'to recommended from parent' (38.5%) and 'recovery from tiredness' (29.6%). The main reason for not-taking was that they were health, therefore nutrient supplements were not necessary. In the future about 43.7% of urban and 33.9% of rural area responded to take a nutrient supplements (p<0.05). These findings show that the behaviors of nutritional supplement usage by subjects are not reasonable, and their supplement usage tends to be affected by general characteristics. Therefore, nutritional understanding and education that are intended to from reasonable behaviors toward nutritional supplement usage of adolescents should be provided with considering the relationship between general characteristic of subjects and supplement usage.

The extent of materials deterioration can be evaluated accurately by mechanical test such as impact test or creep test. But it is almost impossible to extract a large test specimen from in-service components. Thus material degradation evaluation by non-destructive method is earnestly required. In this paper, the material degradation for virgin and several aged materials of a Cr-Mo-V steel, which is an candidated as structural material of the turbine casing components for electric power plant, is nondestructively evaluated by reactivation polarization testing method. And, the results obtained from the test are compared with those in small punch(SP) tests recommended as a semi-nondestructive testing method using miniaturized specimen. In contrast to the aged materials up to 1,000hrs which exhibit the degradation behaviors with increased ${\Delta}[DBTT]_{SP}$, the improvement of mechanical property can be observed on the 2,000hrs and 3,000hrs aged materials. This is because of the softening of material due to the carbide precipitation, the increase of ferritic structures and the recovery of dislocation microstructure by long-time heat treatment. The reactivation rates($I_R/I_{Crit},\;Q_R/Q_{Crit}$) calculated by reactivation current densityt ($I_R$) and charge($Q_R$) in the polarization curves exhibit a good correlation with ${\Delta}[DBTT]_{SP}$ behaviors.

This study was undertaken to investigate whether honokiol could enhance the pentobarbitalinduced sleeping behaviors through $\gamma$-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor $Cl^-$ channel activation. Thirty minutes after the oral administration of honokiol, mice were received sodium pentobarbital (42 mg/kg, i.p.). The time elapsed from pentobarbital injection to the loss of the righting reflex was taken as sleeping latency. The time elapsed between the loss and voluntary recovery of the righting reflex was considered as the total sleeping time. Western blot technique and $Cl^-$ sensitive fluorescence probe were used to detect the expression of $GABA_A$ receptor subunits and $Cl^-$ influx in the primary cultured cerebellar granule cells. Honokiol (0.1 and 0.2 mg/kg) prolonged the sleeping time induced by pentobarbital (42 mg/kg) in a dosage-dependent manner. Honokiol (20 and 50 ${\mu}M$) increased $Cl^-$ influx in primary cultured cerebellar granule cells, and selectively increased the $GABA_A$ receptor $\alpha$-subunit expression, but had no effect on the abundance of $\beta$ or $\gamma$-subunits. Chronic treatment with 20 ${\mu}M$ honokiol in primary cultured cerebellar neurons did not affect the abundance of GAD65/67. The results suggested that honokiol could potentiate pentobarbital-induced sleeping through $GABA_A$ receptor $Cl^-$ channel activation.

To investigate surface properties and interception performances of the new modified PVDF membrane coated with Graphene Oxide (GO) and nano-$TiO_2$ (for short the modified membrane) via the interface polymerization method combined with the pumping suction filtration way, filtration experiments of the modified membrane on Humic Acid (HA) were conducted. Results showed that the contact angle (characterizing the hydrophilicity) of the modified membrane decreased from $80.6{\pm}1.8^{\circ}$ to $38.6{\pm}1.2^{\circ}$. The F element of PVDF membrane surface decreased from 60.91% to 17.79% after covered with GO and $TiO_2$. O/C element mass ratio has a fivefold increase, the percentage of O element on the modified membrane surface increased from 3.83 wt% to 20.87%. The modified membrane surface was packed with hydrophilic polar groups (like -COOH, -OH, C-O, C=O, N-H) and a functional hydrophilic GO-polyamide-$TiO_2$ composite configuration. This configuration provided a rigid network structure for the firm attachment of GO and $TiO_2$ on the surface of the membrane and for a higher flux as well. The total flux attenuation rate of the modified membrane decreased to 35.6% while 51.2% for the original one. The irreversible attenuation rate has dropped 71%. The static interception amount of HA on the modified membrane was $158.6mg/m^2$, a half of that of the original one ($295.0mg/m^2$). The flux recovery rate was increased by 50%. The interception rate of the modified membrane on HA increased by 12% approximately and its filtration cycle was 2-3 times of that of the original membrane.

금속킬레이트제로써 잘 알려진 몇가지 oxime 화합물들의 Amberlite XAD 수지들에 대한 흡착성을 분포계수값을 측정함으로써 상호 비교해 본 결과 킬레이트제로서는 분포계수값이 비교적 큰 salicylaldoxime (SAO)과 ${\alpha}$-benzoinoxime(${\alpha}$-BzO) 그리고 수지로서는 XAD-4 수지가 적합함을 알았다. SAO과 ${\alpha}$-BzO를 XAD-4 수지에 각각 침윤시킨 SAO-XAD-4 및 ${\alpha}$-BzO-XAD-4 침윤수지의 그 특성을 조사하였다. SAO와 ${\alpha}$-BzO의 XAD-4 수지에 대한 최적 흡착조건은 30% 메탄올, pH 1∼8(SAO) 및 pH 1~9 (${\alpha}$-BzO)였다. SAO 및 ${\alpha}$-BzO의 XAD-4 수지에 대한 흡착은 온도가 증가함에 따라 감소하였으며, 그 흡착메카니즘은 흡착엔탈피(-${\Delta}$H)를 구해본 결과 4.99 ~ 6.66 (Kcal/mol)인 것으로 보아 쌍극자-쌍극자 인력에 상응하는 분자 흡착임을 알 수 있었다. 한편 금속이온을 흡착시키는 매질용액과 흡착된 금속이온을 회수하는 염산수용액에서 침윤수지의 안정성을 조사한 결과, 전자는 pH 5∼10에서, 후자는 0.1~5M 염산수용액에서 비교적 큰 안정성을 보였다. 두 침윤수지에 의한 Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II)등의 금속이온의 흡착몰비는 대략 1;2(금속이온:킬레이트제)이었으며 흡착된 금속이온은 3M-HCl 수용액 또는 3M-HCl/50%-MeOH 용리액으로 정량적으로 회수가 가능하였다.

버퍼 오버플로우 공격은 Code Red나 SQL Stammer와 같은 최근의 웜의 발발에서 알 수 있는 것과 같이 가장 강력하고 치명적인 형태의 악성 코드 공격이다. 버퍼 오버플로우 공격은 일반적으로 시스템에 비정상적인 증상들을 유발한다. 버퍼 오버플로우 공격에 대한 기존의 대처방안들은 심각한 성능 저하를 초래하거나, 다양한 형태의 버퍼 오버플로우 공격을 모두 방지하지 못했으며, 특히 일반적으로 사용되는 소프트웨어 패치를 사용하는 방법은 버퍼 오버플로우 입의 확산을 효과적으로 차단하지 못한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하고자 본 논문에서는 적은 하드웨어 비용과 성능 저하만으로 거의 모든 악성 코드 공격을 탐지하고 피해를 복구할 수 있도록 하는 복귀 주소 포인터 스택 (Return Address Pointer Stack: RAPS) 과 변조 복구 버퍼 (Corruption Recovery Buffer: CRB)라는 마이크로 구조 기술들을 제안한다. 버퍼 오버플로우 공격으로 인한 비정상적인 증상들은 RAPS를 통해 프로세스 실행 중 메모리 참조의 안전성을 점검함으로써 쉽게 탐지될 수 있으며, 이는 그러한 공격들에 의한 잠재적인 데이타 흑은 제어 변조를 피하는 것을 가능하게 한다. 안전 점검 장치의 사용으로 인한 하드웨어 비용과 성능 손실은 거의 발생하지 않는다. 또한, RAPS에 비해 더욱 강도 높은 방법인 CRB를 이용하여 보안 수준을 더욱 향상시킬 수 있다. 변조 복구 버퍼는 안전 점검 장치와 결합되어 버퍼 오버플로우 공격에 의해 발생했을 가능성이 있는 의심스러운 쓰기들을 저장함으로써 공격이 탐지되는 경우 메모리의 상태를 공격 이전의 상태로 복구시킬 수 있다. SPEC CPU2000 벤치마크 중에서 선정한 프로그램들에 대해 상세한 시뮬레이션을 수행함으로써, 제안된 마이크로구조 기술들의 효율성을 평가할 수 있다. 실험 결과는 안전 점검 장치를 사용하여 공격으로 인한 복귀 주소 변조로부터 스택 영역을 방어하는 것이 시스템의 이상 증상들을 상당 부분 감소시킬 수 있다는 것을 보여준다. 또한, 1KB 크기의 작은 변조 복구 버퍼를 안전 점검 장치와 함께 사용할 경우 스택 스매싱 공격으로 인해 발생하는 추가적인 데이타 변조들까지 막아낼 수가 있는데, 이로 인한 성능 저하는 2% 미만에 불과하다.

Objectives: The object of this study was to evaluate the cognition and motor function recovery effects of Sungshim-san (SSS), a traditional Korean cardio-protective polyherbal formula in the severe rat stroke, permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAO) model. Methods: The experimental animals were divided into 6 groups. SSS aqueous extracts (yield=16.82%; 400, 200 and 100 mg/kg) were administered orally by using Sonde, once daily, for 28 continuous days from 24 hrs post-pMCAO. Donepezil 10 mg/kg, a representative drug for dementia, was used as a reference drug. The body weight changes, infarct/defect sizes, sensorimotor function and cognitive motor behavior were serially monitored. Limb placing and body-swing test for sensorimotor functions were conducted at 1 day before operation (base line), and 1, 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days post-pMCAO; and water maze test for the cognitive motor behavior was conducted at 14 and 28 days post-pMCAO, respectively. Results: Focal cerebral cortex infarct and defects due to pMCAO resulted in marked decreases of body weight, disorders of sensorimotor functions and cognitive motor behaviors. However, the pMCAO-related ischemic damages were markedly and dose-dependently inhibited by treatment with SSS 400 and 200 mg/kg, respectively. Donepezil markedly decreased the body weight and gains, as compared with pMCAO control rats; however, SSS 400 and 200 mg/kg favorably ameliorated the pMCAO-induced decreases in body weight and gains. SSS 100 mg/kg treated rats did not show any favorable effects on the pMCAO-related ischemic damages, as compared with pMCAO control rats. Conclusions: The results of the study indicated that oral administration of SSS 400 and 200 mg/kg accelerated cognition and motor function recovery in the rat pMCAO model. The treatment effect was potentially mediated by neuroprotection via the known augmentation of cerebral antioxidant defense system of SSS itself or its individual herbal components. Especially, the overall effects of SSS 200 mg/kg were similar to those of donepezil 10 mg/kg, but less toxic.
