국내에서는 현재 물리적 인형 모의피폭체와 수십 개의 소형 MOSFET 선량계를 이용하여 유효선량(Effective Dose)을 실시간으로 정확하게 측정할 수 있는 시스템을 개발 중에 있다. 이때 사용되는 MOSFET 선량계는 그 크기가 매우 작으며, 상대적으로 높은 민감도를 가지고 선량을 실시간으로 측정할 수 있다는 장점이 있는 반면, 검출부위가 조직등가 물질이 아닌 실리콘으로 이루어져 있어 저에너지 광자에 대하여 적절한 보정이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 몬테칼로 전산모사 방법을 사용하여 증기발생기 수실 내부의 에너지 스펙트럼에 대한 MOSFET 선량계의 선량보정인자 값들을 계산하였으며, 이렇게 계산된 보정인자 값들을 선행 연구에서 구한 값, 즉 0.662 MeV와 1.25 MeV의 광자만을 이용하여 구한 선량보정인자 값들과 비교하여 보았다. 비교 결과, 두 서로 다른 조건에서의 선량보정인자들은 큰 차이를 보이지 않았으며$(\leq1.5%)$, 따라서 선행 연구에서 구한 선량보정인자들을 원자력발전소의 증기발생기 수실에 그대로 적용하여도 큰 문제가 없음을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 증기발생기 수실에 대하여 결정된 선량보정인자들을 실측된 MOSFET 선량계의 선량값들에 적용하여 선량보정에 따라 유효선량이 어느 정도 변화하는 가를 확인한 결과, 유효선량은 선량보정인자를 적용할 경우가 적용하지 않을 경우에 비해 약 7% 정도 낮게 평가됨을 알 수 있었다.

One dimensional performance model has been used for the design of torque converter. The model is based on the concept of constant mean flow path and constant flow angle. These constant-assumed para meters make the design procedure to be simple. In practice, some parameters are usually replaced with geometric raw data and, the constant experiential correction factors have been used to minimize the design error. These factors have no definite physical meaning and so they cannot be applied confidently to the other design condition. In this study, the detail dynamic model of torque converter is presented to establish the theoretical background of correction factors. To verify the validity of theoretical model, steady state performance test was carried out on the several input speed. The oil temperature effect on the performance is analysed and adjusted. The constant equivalent flow angles are determined at a part of performance region by comparing the theoretical model and the test data. The sensitivity of correction factors to the input speeds are studied and the change of torus flow is presented.

This study was conducted to develop a novel adjustment factors for 305 days using 138,103 lactation records and 1,770,764 daily records, which were based on environmental circumstances such as herd year, season, age at calving, dry period and lactating stages. The present study showed that the change of persistency of cows at the first parity from total lactacting characteristics was slowly processed, while it was rapidly changed in cows at the second parity stage. Particularly, there was an outstanding difference between the first and second parity cows. Milk yield and composition increased as the age at calving was increased. In addition, milk yield and composition were higher at the first parity on fall compared with others, and those were higher at the more than second parity on fall and winter compared with other parity stages and seasons. The cow of dry group was included into lactating records of more than second parity stage. The data indicated that optimal results arose from 45-70 days of dry period. Milk yield was decreased when dry period was longer or shorter than 45-70 days. The lactating days were divided into 17, 28 and 38 stages to compare the multiplicative correction factors. The factor was effective at 28 stages on the first parity. The total correlation coefficients were 0.93832, 0.95058 and 0.95076 at the present correction factor, 17 stage and 28 stage, respectively. At second parity, the factor was higher in dry group 1 and 3 at 17 stage, and it was higher in dry group 2 at 28 stage compared with others. Therefore, the present study showed that the percent squared bias (PSB), which was calculated from the novel correction factor, was better than previously used correction factors. Also, the present study indicated that the bias of the novel correction factor was improved, and this factor could be more accurate compared with others.

국제원자력기구의 TRS-398 측정 프로토콜을 임상에 적용하기 위해서는 사용하는 빔과 전리함에 대한 선질 보정인자가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 몬테칼로 계산코드(DOSRZnrc/EGSnrc)를 사용하여 상용의 평판형전리함에 대한 고에너지 전자선($4{\sim}20\;MeV$)에서의 선질보정인자를 계산하였다. 계산결과를 프로토콜에서 제시하는 값과 비교한 결과 $5{\sim}20\;MeV$에서 약 1% 이내로 일치하였으며 4 MeV의 경우에는 약 1.9% 차이를 보였다. 본 연구 방법은 선질보정인자를 독립적으로 결정하는 방법의 하나로서 프로토콜에서 주어진 값들의 확인이 필요하거나 또는 새로운 모델의 전리함을 사용하는 경우에 응용될 수 있다.

The experiment was conducted to obtain correlation of the air side heat transfer coefficient of wire-on-tube type heat exchanger using the single layer heat exchanger. The correction factors to Zhukauskas correlation was driven from the experimental results. The numerical analysis and experiment with several wire-on-tube type condensers to validate the correction factors are also peformed. The maximum discrepancy between experimental results and the numerical results using the correction factors of this study and Zhukauskas correlation is 10.0%, while that of reference correlation is 47.5%.

In the detail reaction-rate measurements in a critical assembly using the foil activation method, the measured activations of detector foils have inevitably errors caused by detector foil self-shielding effect. If neutron flux could be approximated to Westcott flux: i.e. well thermalized Maxwellian distribution, these activations of detector foil could be corrected to represent the unperturbated flux at any detected position in the cell with using Westcott option and reaction-rate option of the lattice code, WIMS-AECL. These calculated detector material self-shielding correction factors of the tested fuel, CANFLEX provided much information about neutron spectrum of test lattice cell as well as the correction factors themselves. The results could be verified by another lattice calculations.

Some characteristics of the eigenvalue sensitivities have been found for beams in the paper. For cantilever beams and simply supported beams, the sensitivities of the eigenvalues to the stiffness correction factor of one element are equal and opposite to the sensitivities to the mass correction factor of the symmetrically positioned element. For beams with other boundary conditions, however, the relationship does not hold. The relationship has been proven analytically for simply supported beams.

IAEA TRS-398 프로토콜의 임상적 적용을 위하여 고에너지 광자선에 대한 선질보정인자를 직접 계산으로 결정하였다. 본 계산은 상용의 원통형 전리함 모델 7종(A12, IC70, N23333, N30001, N30006, NE2571, PR06C/G)에 대하여 수행되었다. 본 계산결과와 TRS-398의 자료를 비교할 때 대부분의 전리함 및 선질에서 ${\pm}0.3%$ 이내(최대 ${\pm}0.4%$)로 일치하였다.

Wind uplift rating of roofing systems is based on standardised test methods. Roof specimens are placed in an apparatus with specified table size (length and width) then subjected to the required wind load cycle. Currently, there is no consensus on the table size to be used by these testing protocols in spite of the fact that a table size plays a significant role in evaluating the performance. This paper presents a study with the objective to investigate the impact of table size on the performance of roofing systems. To achieve this purpose, extensive numerical experiments using the finite element method have been conducted to investigate the performance of roofing systems subjected to wind uplift pressures. Numerical results were compared with results obtained from experimental work to benchmark the numerical modeling. Required table size and curves for the determinations of appropriate correction factors are suggested. This has been completed for various test configurations with thermoplastic waterproofing membranes. Development of correction factors for assemblies with thermoset and modified bituminous membranes are in progress. Generalization of the correction factors and its usage for wind uplift rating of roofs will be the focus of a future paper.

With the publication of TRS-483 in late 2017 the IAEA has established an international code of practice for reference dosimetry in small and non-standard fields based on a formalism first suggested by Alfonso et al. in 2008. However, data on beam quality correction factors ($k^{f_{msr},f_{ref}}_{Q_{msr},Q_0}$) for the Leksell Gamma $Knife^{(R)}$ $Perfexion^{TM}$ is scarce and what little data is available was obtained under conditions not necessarily in accordance with the IAEA's recommendations. This study constitutes the first systematic attempt to calculate those correction factors by applying the new code of practice to Monte Carlo simulation using the GEANT4 toolkit. $k^{f_{msr},f_{ref}}_{Q_{msr},Q_0}$ values were determined for three common ionization chamber detectors and five different phantom materials, with results indicating that in most phantom materials, all chambers were well suited for reference dosimetry with the Gamma $Knife^{(R)}$. Similarities and differences between the results of this study and previous ones were also analyzed and it was found that the results obtained herein were generally in good agreement with earlier PENELOPE and EGSnrc studies.
