중 저준위방사성폐기물(이하, '방폐물'이라 함)을 처분시설로 안전하고 효율적으로 운반하기 위하여 원자력법[1][2] 및 IAEA 안전운반규정(3) 등 국내외 관련규정의 기술기준을 만족시키는 안전성이 확보된 운반용기를 사용하여야 한다. 방폐물이 저준위비방사능(LSA: Low Specific Activity)물질 또는 표면오염물체(SCO; Surface Contaminated Object)로 분류되고 전용상태로 운반되는 경우는 거의 IP-2형 운반용기를 이용하여 운반하는 것이 가능하다. 방폐물 처분시설이 경주의 임해지역에 건설되어 운영된 것이므로 일부를 제외한 대부분의 방폐물은 IP-2형 운반용기에 적재하여 전용선박을 이용하여 해상으로 운반하게 된다. 전용선박은 크레인을 이용하여 화물을 선적하고 하역하는 Lo/Lo(Lift-on/Lift-off) 방식으로 IMO 규정 및 국내 선박법에 따라 국내에서 설계, 건조될 예정이며, 선박의 규모는 총 톤수 약 2,000톤이며, 약 1,600드럼의 방폐물을 적재할 수 있다. 여기서는 방폐물의 해상운반을 위한 IP-2형 운반용기에 대한 요건 및 관련규정에 따른 기술기준을 입증하기 위한 건전성 평가방안에 대하여 기술하였다.

Sco OB1의 핵심성단 NGC 6231를 호주 Siding Spring 천문대 1m 망원경을 사용하여 -40'${\times}$40' 영역을 관측하였다. 측광자료를 바탕으로 성단의 반경, 성간소광 법칙, 나이 및 초기질량함수를 결정하였다. 성단의 반지름은 구성원의 질량에 상관없이 거의 10' ($R{\approx}4.6pc$)으로 동일한 값을 보였다. 전체적으로는 정상적인 성간소광 법칙을 따르지만, 성단의 중심으로 갈수로 큰 $R_V$를 보여주며, 이는 과거에 있었을 것으로 추정되는 초신성의 효과로 추정된다. 질량이 큰 별과 X-선으로 선택된 성단의 전주계열성은 비슷한 평균나이를 보이지만 전주계열성은 훨씬 큰 나이분산을 보였다. 성단전체 초기질량함수의 기울기는 Salpeter 초기질량함수의 기울기와 매우 유사한 ${\Gamma}$=-1.1${\pm}$0.1을 보였으며, 성단 중심거리에 따른 초기질량함수의 기울기는 -1.0${\pm}$0.2에서 -1.8${\pm}$0.5까지 체계적으로 변화를 하였다. 질량이 큰 O형 별의 쌍성비율이 중심거리에 따른 변화를 보이지 않음에 비추어 볼 때, NGC 6231의 질량분리 양상은 역학적 진화의 결과가 아니라 원초적 질량분리현상으로 결론을 내릴 수 있다.

This study was performed to examine the effect of red ginseng total saponin and extract on memory in mice using one trial step-down type passive avoidance method. Red ginseng total saponins (No. 1: PD/PT ratio=1.24, No. 2: PD/PT ratio=1.47) were prepared with the different mixing ratio by using the parts of red ginseng. In single administration of total saponin No. 1 (100 mg/ kg, bw) or No. 2 (50 mg/kg, bw) increased the latency time as compared with control group but was not statistically significant. Treatment of total saponin No. 1 (50 mg/kg, bw) for 10 days produced an increase of latency time but was not statistically significant. In scopolamine-induced memory deficient mice total saponin No. 1 (50 mg/kg, bw) and No. 2 (100 mg/kg, bw) significantly improved the latency time. These results show that red ginseng total saponin may improve the memory of sco-polamine-induced memory deficient mice and have nootropic activity.

I describe a series of processes, including hierarchical fragmentation, gravitational scattering, Kozai cycles within triple systems, tidal friction and magnetic braking, that I believe are responsible for producing the modest but significant fraction of stars that are observed as contact binaries. I also discuss further processes, namely heat transport, mass transport, nuclear evolution, thermal relaxation oscillations, and further magnetic braking with tidal friction, that influence the evolution during contact. The endpoint, for contact, is that the two components merge into a single star, as recently was observed in the remarkable system V1309 Sco. The single star probably throws off some mass and rotates rapidly at first, and then slows by magnetic braking to become a rather inconspicuous but normal dwarf or subgiant. If however the contact binary was part of a triple system originally-as I suggested above was rather likely-then the result could be a $widish$ binary with apparently non-coeval components. There are several such known.

We identified a 1,134-bp putative type III polyketide synthase from the sequence analysis of Streptomyces peucetius ATCC 27952, named Sp-RppA, which is characterized as 1,3,6,8-tetrahydroxynaphthalene synthase and shares 33% identity with SCO1206 from S. coelicolor A3(2) and 32% identity with RppA from S. griseus. The 1,3,6,8-tetrahydroxynaphthalene synthase is known to catalyze the sequential decarboxylative condensation, intramolecular cyclization, and aromatization of an oligoketide derived from five units of malonyl-CoA to give 1,3,6,8-tetrahydroxynaphthalene, which spontaneously oxidizes to form 2,5,7-trihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (flaviolin). In this study, we report the in vivo expression and in vitro synthesis of flaviolin from purified gene product (Sp-RppA).

In this study, selective catalytic oxidation (SCO) of $NH_3$ using $Ce/TiO_2$ catalyst was examined to control the slipped NH3 from various pollutants. It was found that the catalytic activity increased with increasing the Ce loadings till reaching 10 wt% Ce loading. However, when Ce loaded over 10 wt%, the activity of catalysts rather decreased than that of catalysts, below 10 wt% Ce. Therefore, the composition of $Ce/TiO_2$ catalyst optimized in this study can be applied to industrial fields.

By the middle of 2018 there are signs of China's entry into a new period of development, characterized by a change in the old model: "market reforms-inner-party democratization - moderate foreign policy" to another: "market reforms - Xi Jinping personality cult - offensive foreign policy." This model contains the risks of arising of the contradiction between economic freedom and political-ideological rigidity which can lead to destabilization of the political life. However, in the current positive economic dynamics, these risks may come out, rather, in the medium and long term. Today, the political situation in China remains stable - despite growing dissatisfaction in scientific expert and educational circles due to increased control over the intellectual sphere by the authorities. The need for a new redistribution of power between central and provincial authorities could potentially disrupt political stability in the medium term, but, at the moment, is not a critical negative factor. The economic situation is positive-stable. Forecasts indicate a possible increase in China's GDP in 2018 at 6.5%. At the same time, there are negative expectations in connection with the Sino-US and potentially Sino-European "trade war". In the Chinese foreign policy, as a response to Western pressure, China increasingly uses the Russian direction of its diplomacy in the expanded version of Russia + SCO. The nuance here is seen in China's adjusted approach to the SCO: first of all, not as a mechanism for cooperation with Russia, but as an organization that allows using Russia's potential for pressure on the US in the Sino-US strategic rivalry. In the second half of 2018, the Chinese economy will continue to develop steadily, albeit with unresolved traditional problems (debts of provinces and state-owned enterprises, ineffective state sector, risks on the financial and real estate market). In politics, discontent with the cult of Xi will accumulate, but without real threats to its power. Weakening in economic opposition between China and the United States is possible due to Beijing's search for compromises on tariffs, intellectual property, trade deficit. To find such trade-offs, Xi will use the so-called. "Personal diplomacy" of direct contacts with Trump.

Supercritical carbon dioxide power system is the next generation electricity technology expected to be highly developed. The power system can improve net efficiency, simplify cycle configuration, and downsize equipment compared to conventional steam power system. In order to dominate the new market in advance, it is required to found Front End Engineering Design (FEED) Framework of the system. Therefore, this study developed the FEED framework including design processes for the supercritical carbon dioxide power system, information elements for each process, and relationships for each element. The developed FEED framework is expected to be able to secure systematic technological capabilities by establishing a common understanding and perspective among multi-field engineers participating in the design.

We presented the accurate absolute dimensions and distances of fifteen main sequence eclipsing binaries. The photometric and spectroscopic solutions of the binary systems were determined by analyzing light curves and radial velocity curves collected from the literature using the Wilson-Devinney computer code. The fifteen double-line spectroscopic binaries consist of nine detached systems; QX Car, AH Cep, CW Cep, ZZ Cep, XY Cet, RX Her, V451 Oph, VV Pyx and V760 Sco, six semi-detached systems; LY Aur, IU Aur, AO Cas, DM Per, V Pup and HU Tau. The temperatures of the binary systems were determined from their colors using the color-temperature calibrations. Then the temperature of each component star were determined using the temperature ratio which was adjusted from the light curves. We estimated the possible Z values and ages for the detached systems by adopting the Y2 (Yonsei-Yale) stellar evolutionary tracks. The derived distances are in good agreement of the Hipparcos distances whose error of parallax is within 10 %. Finally these well-investigated systems will be used as the standard eclipsing binaries.

Sequence analysis of the metabolically rich genome of Streptomyces peucetius ATCC 27952 revealed a 2,199 bp sesquiterpene alcohol (germacradienol) synthase-encoding gene from the germacradienol synthase/terpene cyclase gene cluster. The gene was named spterp13, and its putative function is as a germacradienol synthase/terpene cyclase. The amino acid sequence of Spterp13 shows 66% identity with SAV2163 (GeoA) from S. avermitilis MA4680 and 65% identity with SCO6073 from S. coelicolor A3(2), which produces germacradienol/geosmin. The full-length recombinant protein was heterologously expressed as a his-tagged fusion protein in Escherichia coli, purified, and shown to catalyze the $Mg^{2+}$-dependent conversion of farnesyl diphosphate to the germacradienol, which was verified by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.
