  • Whole-Body counters have been used to evaluate the internal contamination of gamma emitting radionuclides. Among the whole-body counters used in domestic nuclear facilities, Fastscan made by CANBERRA contains 2 NaI(Tl) detectors and is generally used to monitor the primary internal exposure. It has the advantage of achieving MDA even with short time measurements. Accuscan is a bed type, and has good energy resolution because it is composed of HPGe detector. Since the Accuscan with better energy resolution than Fastscan has better able to identify radionuclides, it is used to monitor secondary internal exposure. Some nuclear facilities have only Fastscan. We analyzed statistically whether Fastscan is enough to ensure accuracy and precision comparing with Accuscan. To do this, we prepared a CRM created by the Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science. We also obtained the data of 6 Fastscans and 5 Accuscans in domestic nuclear facilities. As a result of the study, although Fastscan compared with Accuscan is not as accurate as the Accuscan, the precision is statistically same. However, accuracy of Fastscan is in compliance with international standards except low energy range. In terms of accuracy and precision except radionuclides emitting low energy, it is possible to measure radioactivity inside workers even in nuclear facilities where only Fastscan is used.

  • Background: The study investigated the influence of culturally-based health beliefs on engagement in healthy lifestyle behaviour. Specifically, the study compared levels of engagement between Western and Chinese youth in Australia and assessed the extent to which culture-specific attributions about the causes of illness, and health beliefs, predict engagement in healthy lifestyle behaviour. Materials and Methods: Ninety-four Western and 95 Chinese (N=189; Mean Age=20.8 years, SD=3 years) young adults completed an online questionnaire. Predictor variables were cultural health beliefs measured by the Chinese Cultural Views on Health and Illness scale (CCVH, Liang et al., 2008), and illness attributions beliefs measured by the Cause of Illness Questionnaire (CIQ, Armstrong and Swartzman, 1999). Outcomes variables were levels of engagement in healthy lifestyle behaviour. Results: Results indicated that Chinese participants have a significantly lower exercising rate and healthy dietary habits compared to the Western sample. Moreover, Chinese participants were found to believe more strongly than Westerners that cancer was associated with factors measured by the Traditional-Chinese-Model (TCM). Finally, the observed relationship between cultural health beliefs and physical inactivity was mediated by attributions of illness, in particular to the supernatural subscale, with the Sobel Test showing a significant mediation (z=-2.63, p=0.004). Conclusions: Mainstream approaches to encourage healthy lifestyles are unlikely to be effective when educating Chinese youth. Instead, health promotion programs should attempt to address the illness attribution beliefs and educate Chinese youth about the role of diet and exercise in prevention of diseases such as cancer.

  • 핵연료 건전성 점검을 위하여 다중채널분석기로 얻은 감마선 스펙트럼을 자동으로 빨리 분석하는 프로그램을 개발하였다. 핵연료의 건전성은 실시간 감시와 주기적인 시료 분석을 통한 원자로냉각재내의 방사선준위로 확인된다. 영광 3·4 호기의 경우, 실시간 감시 계통인 프로세스 방사선 감시 계통(PRMS)이 핵연료의 건전성을 확인한다. 현재, PRMS의 스펙트로미터 채널의 신호처리기는 단일채널 분석기이어서 오직 하나의 방사성핵종만을 파악할 수 있다. 따라서 PRMS를 개선하기 위해서는 단일채널분석기를 다중채널분석기로 대치하여야 한다. 이 프로그램은 실시간 모드와 수동모드로 실행되며, 모든 과정을 자동으로 수행한다. 미 국가표준국의 혼합 표준 선원에 대한 시험 결과는 상용 다중채널분석기인 Canberra System 100의 결과와 잘 일치하였다. 결론적으로 개발된 프로그램은 원자력발전소의 감마선 감시에 사용할 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

  • Since 2002, Architecture Schools in Korea was changing long traditional architectural education system from 4 years generalized architectural engineering curriculum to 5 years professional architecture program. Until 2010, 76 architecture schools have changed their program to 5 years course which was focused to design studio education. It was a very rapid change and there was not much time develop their own system which could represent institutional identity, character of students and local environment. Korea joined as a regular member of Canberra Accord in 2010 and it is meaningful to compare Korean architecture program contents to another country education contents. US architecture programs were selected for this comparison study. The goals of this study are to create a comparable understanding the form of contents of Architectural Education in US and Korea and to verify the substantial equivalence of these systems. To achieve above goals, three public institutes of each country were selected and analyzed with general information, history, resources, curriculum and the matrix of Student Performance Criteria for quantitative comparison. For qualitative comparison education context of programs were analyzed with program missions, the way of advising, professional connection and distribution of faculty loads.

  • Large-scale retrieval algorithm is problem for visual analyses applications, along its research track. In this paper, we propose a high-efficiency region division-based image retrieve approaches, which fuse low-level local color histogram feature and texture feature. A novel image region division is proposed to roughly mimic the location distribution of image color and deal with the color histogram failing to describe spatial information. Furthermore, for optimizing our region division retrieval method, an image descriptor combining local color histogram and Gabor texture features with reduced feature dimensions are developed. Moreover, we propose an extended Canberra distance method for images similarity measure to increase the fault-tolerant ability of the whole large-scale image retrieval. Extensive experimental results on several benchmark image retrieval databases validate the superiority of the proposed approaches over many recently proposed color-histogram-based and texture-feature-based algorithms.

  • Although problem solving was a major focus of mathematics education research in many countries throughout the 1990s, not enough is known about how people best acquire problem-solving skills. This paper is an attempt to advance further development of problem-solving skills of talented school students through combination of some methods accessible from curriculum knowledge and more special techniques that are beyond curriculum. Analysis of various problems is provided in detail. Educational aspects of challenging problems in mathematical contests up to IMO level are, also, taken into account and discussed in the paper.

  • A growing number of large scale knowledge graphs raises several issues how knowledge graph data can be organized, discovered, and integrated efficiently. We present a novel semantic-based mashup platform for contents convergence which consists of acquisition, RDF storage, ontology learning, and mashup subsystems. This platform servers a basis for developing other more sophisticated applications required in the area of knowledge big data. Moreover, this paper proposes an entity matching method using graph convolutional network techniques as a preliminary work for automatic classification and discovery on knowledge big data. Using real DBP15K and SRPRS datasets, the performance of our method is compared with some existing entity matching methods. The experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms existing methods due to its ability to increase accuracy and reduce training time.

  • In this study, we aim to identify low-mass members of nearby, young stellar moving groups (NYMGs) from Gaia EDR3. The spatio-kinematic membership probabilities of the NYMGs were calculated utilizing the Bayesian membership probability calculation tool developed in our previous study. The youth of these spatio-kinematic members were assessed using positions on color-magnitude diagrams. We identified ~2200 new low-mass NYMG candidate members, that can be confirmed by follow-up spectroscopic observations. We performed pilot spectroscopic observation with WiFeS at Siding Spring Observatory observing 79 candidates, and about 80 per cent of them were confirmed as members.

  • 기록되는 정보가 축적되어 다양한 지식이 되고, 이를 원하는 사람에게 제공하는 전 과정이 기록관리이다. 호주의 기록관리 절차에 대한 정형화 및 표준화에 대하여 시드니 주립기록보존소(Sydney Records Center) 및 연방기록보존소를 포함한 각계각층의 사람들이 모여 개발한 기록관리 지침이 호주기록관리(Australian Standard Records Management, 이하 AS 4390이라 한다)이다. AS 4390을 기초로 하여 국제 기록관리 표준(ISO 15489)이 만들어졌다. 이 논문은 AS 4390을 모태로 하여 호주에서 활발하게 진행 중인 레코드키핑 시스템의 정의, 체제, 설계 및 실행지침, 메타데이터 항목개발 프로젝트 동향을 소개하면서, 아울러 호주 기록관리의 현안 사항인 시드니 주립기록보존소의 타뷰렘(Tabularium), 캔버라 연방기록보존소의 소장기록물 데이터베이스시스템인 CRS(Commonwealth Records Series) 및 호주정부 정보소재서비스(Australian Government Locator Service)등 각 시스템을 연동시키기 위하여 표준화의 중요성을 살펴보고자 한다. 한편 우리나라의 경우는 2005년부터 <공공기관의기록물관리에관한법률>에 의하여 의무적으로 자료관시스템과 전문관리기관 시스템을 사용하고 있으며, 각 시스템간 자료의 호환성을 갖추기 위해 국제 표준을 따르는 것이 바람직하다. 아울러 정부 부처별로 수행하는 업무 영역과 하위 업무에 대한 어휘통제용어사전을 하루바삐 만들어 자료 검색 시 효율성을 높여야 할 것이다.
