This paper describes design improvement to a research rector for safety enhancement using Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA). This PSA under reactor design was undertaken to assess the level of safety for the design of a research reactor and to evaluate whether it is probabilistically safe to operate and reliable to use. The scope of the PSA reported here is a Level 1 PSA, which addresses the risks associated with the core damage. The technical objectives of this study were to identify accident sequences leading to core damage and to derive design improvement from the dominant accident sequences through the sensitivity analysis. The AIMS-PSA and FTREX were used for the this PSA of the research reactor. The criterion for inclusion was all sequences with a point estimate frequency greater than a truncation value of 1.0E-14/yr. The final result indicates a point estimate of 6.79E-05/yr for the overall Core Damage Frequency (CDF) attributable to internal initiating events for the research reactor under design. Based on the dominant accident sequences from the PSA, the seven kinds of sensitivity analysis were performed and some design improvement items were derived. When the five methods to improve the safety were all applied to the reactor design and emergency operating procedure, its risk was reduced to about 1.21E-06/yr from 6.79E-05/yr. The contribution of LOCA and LOEP with high CDF were significantly reduced by the sensitivity analysis. The safety of the research reactor was well improved and the risk was reduced than before adapting the design improvement gotten from the sensitivity analysis. The present study indicated that the research reactor has the well-balanced safety in regard to each initiating event contribution to CDF. The PSA methodology is very effective to improve reactor safety in a conceptual design phase and especially, Risk-informed design(RID) is very nice way to find the deficiencies of research reactor under design and to improve the reactor safety by solving them.

By the end of 2014, the number of completed and under-construction supertall buildings above 250 meters in China reached 90 and 129, respectively. China has become one of the centers of supertall buildings in the world. Supertall buildings in China are getting taller, more slender, and more complex. The structural design of these buildings focuses on the efficiency of lateral resisting systems and the application of energy dissipation. Furthermore, the research, design, and construction of high-performance materials, pile foundations, and mega-members have made a lot of progress. Meanwhile, more and more challenges are presented, such as the improvement of structural system efficiency, the further understanding of failure models, the definition of design criteria, the application of high-performance materials, and construction monitoring. Thus, local structural engineers are playing a more important role in the design of supertall buildings.

Recently, electric vehicles are gaining popularity among many domestic and foreign users due to their eco-friendly advantages of reducing fine dust and environmental greenhouse gases. As the demand and supply of electric vehicles increase, the demand for electric vehicle charging infrastructure is also growing together. Many users are experiencing inconvenience due to poor charging infrastructure, which makes them hesitant to buy electric vehicles. Research on the user experience of chargers in apartment complexes, a common residential type in Korea, is being conducted somewhat, but research on the design of electric vehicle charging devices in public places is insufficient. The purpose of this research is to identify user requirements and complaints based on the product design of the electric vehicle charger in public places and propose a new electric vehicle product design concept that meets the requirements. The research method understood the charging base and status of electric vehicles in public places through literature research and examined and analyzed the characteristics and problems of product design cases that improved the charging problem of electric vehicles recently released in the market. It is intended to identify and analyze the problems of the charging device product design through user interviews, a qualitative research method, and based on this, it is intended to propose a user-centered product design concept that improves major complaints.

본 논문은 최근 디자인계에 대두되고 있는 사용자 중심의 디자인을 위한 노력의 일환으로서 문화인류학의 대표적인 리서치 방법인 애쓰노그래피를 디자인 리서치에 어떻게 적용할 수 있는지에 대한 고찰과 그 구체적인 적용사례를 제시하는 논문이다. 논문은 크게 두 부분으로 구분된다. 먼저, 문헌 고찰을 통한 애쓰노그래피의 기본개념을 소개하고 제품 디자인 영역에서의 "문화"의 개념을 정의내림으로써 디자인 리서치의 내용적 프레임？을 설정하는데 필요한 지식 기반을 구축한다. 둘째로는 감성적 미래형 전자레인지 개발을 목적으로 진행한 프로젝트를 중심으로, 애쓰노그래피가 디자인 리서치에 적용된 구체적인 예를 보여준다. 이 과정은 먼저 애쓰노그래피 리서치를 실행하는 프로세스를 소개하고, 리서치를 통해 얻은 데이터를 분석결과, 그리고 이 결과의 종합을 통한 디자인 암시의 도출을 통해 애쓰노그래피 리서치의 효용성을 논의하는 것으로 구성되어 있다. 이는 구체적인 사례를 통해 향후 디자인 리서치에 애쓰노그래피의 개념을 어떻게 적용할 것인지에 대한 아이디어를 제시하고, 그 활성화를 꾀할 목적으로 진행되었다.적으로 진행되었다.

Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the potential of sematic network analysis for design research. Background: As HCD (Human-Centered Design) was emphasized, lots of design research methodologies were developed and used in order to find user needs. However, it is still difficult to discover users' latent needs. This study suggests the semantic network analysis as a complementary means for design research, and proved its potential through the practical application, which compares multi-screen purchase and usage behaviors between America and China. Method: We conducted an in-depth interview with 32 consumers from USA and China, and analyzed interview texts through semantic network analysis. Cross cultural differences in purchase and usage behaviors were investigated, based on measuring centrality and community modularity of devices, functions, key buying factors and brands. Results: Americans use more services and functions in the multi-screen environment, compared to Chinese. As a device substitutes other devices, traditional boundaries of the devices are disappearing in the USA. Americans consider function to recall Apple, but Chinese consider function, design and brand to recall Apple, Sony and Samsung as an important brand at the time of their purchase. Conclusion: This study shows the potential of semantic network analysis for design research through the practical application. Semantic network analysis presents how the concepts regarding a theme are structured in the cognitive map of users with visual images and quantitative data. Therefore, it can complement the qualitative analysis of the existing design research. Application: As the design environment becomes more and more complicated like multi-screen environment, semantic network analysis, which is able to provide design insights in the intuitive and holistic perspective, will be acknowledged as an effective tool for further design research.

Risk-informed approach has been widely applied in the safety design, regulation, and operation of nuclear reactors. It has been commonly accepted that risk-informed design optimization should be used in the innovative reactor designs to make nuclear system highly safe and reliable. In spite of the risk-informed approach has been used in some advanced nuclear reactors designs, such as Westinghouse IRIS, Gen-IV sodium fast reactors and lead-based fast reactors, the process of risk-informed design of nuclear reactors is hardly to carry out when passive system reliability should be integrated in the framework. A practical method for new passive safety reactors based on probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) and passive system reliability analyze linking is proposed in this paper. New three-dimension frequency-consequence curve based on risk concept with three variables is used in this method. The proposed method has been applied to the determination optimization of design options selection in a 10 MWth lead-based research reactor(LR) to obtain one optimized system design in conceptual design stage, using the integrated reliability and probabilistic safety assessment program RiskA, and the computation resources and time consumption in this process was demonstrated reasonable and acceptable.

현대의 기업들은 과거 이성중심의 소비자를 대상으로 하는 4P중심의 마케팅전략에서 이제 감성중심의 소비자를 대상으로 하는 기업 및 브랜드의 인지중심의 감성적 마케팅전략으로 전환하고 있다. 이에 따라, 이성중심의 마케팅전략과 감성중심의 디자인전략이 결합되어 하나의 통합된 프로세스로 소비자에게 접근하는 감성마케팅의 중요성이 증대되고 있다. 그러나 아직까지 기존연구에서는 디자인마케팅의 본질과 연구영역을 규정하여 체계적인 검증을 바탕으로 디자인마케팅을 실현하기보다는 단편적으로 마케팅의 기법등을 디자인프로세스에 적용하고 있는 실정이다. 이와 관련하여 본 연구는 디자인마케팅의 본질을 제안하고, 디자인마케팅이 실무에 적용되기 이전 단계로서 디자인마케팅의 연구영역의 규명과 각 연구영역에 대한 다양하고 체계적인 학문적 검토가 선행되어져야 된다고 주장하였다 아울러 디자인마케팅의 영역으로서 전통적인 마케팅영역의 연구영역을 근간으로 하여 3가지 분야를 범주화하였는데 이들 3가지 범주란 첫째는, 디자인은 대상으로 하는 소비자의 의사결정방식의 이해영역, 둘째, 다양한 분석적 툴의 도입과 적용 및 셋째, 상황판단에 따른 전략수립을 위한 다양한 전략툴의 적용을 제안하고 각 분야에 대한 향후 연구방향에 대하여 제안하였다.
