본 논문에서는 로봇의 움직임 특성을 추출하여 로봇 시스템의 신뢰성을 평가하는 방법을 제안한다. 원자력 발전소 증기 발생기 전열관의 비파괴 검사에 사용되는 ECT 검사용 Probe 가이드 로봇 (이하 증기발생기 로봇으로 기술)을 대상으로 하였다. 증기발생기 로봇의 동작 상태를 감시하기 위해 관측 카메라가 설치된다. 증기발생기 수실은 로봇 설치 및 해체를 위한 원형의 출입구 (Man Way)를 제외하고는 밀폐된 공간이다. 증기 발생기 전열관의 비파괴 검사 중에는 로봇과 로봇의 동작을 감시하는 관측 카메라만 설치된다. 관측 카메라가 고정되어 있다면, 배경의 변화를 야기하는 외란은 없다고 가정할 수 있다. 시간적으로 이웃하는 2 개의 관측 영상을 미분 (차 영상) 처리하면, 로봇 시스템의 이동 성분만 추출된다. 이러한 이동성분의 크기를 계산하여 로봇의 전체 행정거리 (ECT Probe를 검사위치에 안내하기 위해 로봇 기구부가 움직이는 범위)에 대해 영상 프레임 단위로 전개하면 특정의 고유 궤적이 나타난다. 이러한 고유 궤적과 다른 패턴을 보이는 로봇의 움직임 궤적은 에러로 간주한다. Burn-in 시험 (원자력 발전소 현장에 투입하기 전에 실험실에서 현장 적용의 타당성을 검증하기 위해 수행하는 시험) 중에 있는 증기발생기 로봇에 대해 본 논문에서 제안한 방법으로 신뢰성 평가를 수행하였으며, 그 결과 및 문제점 등에 대해 기술한다.

Background : Most studies of the pituitary hormonal responses to electroconvulsive therapy(ECT) have used limited blood sampling schedules. Little is known about the precise sequence of neuroendocrine events immediately following en ECT application. or about the regulation of the hormonal responses. Methods : Blood was sampled at three minute intervals from eleven patients(two schizophrenics and nine affective disorder patients) undergoing ECT. Each sample was immunologically assayed for arginine vasopressin(AVP), adrenocorticotropic hormone(ACTH), prolactin(PRL), and cortisol. Baseline hormone concentrations and several measures of response were determined for each hormone. The temporal and quantitative relationships among the hormonal responses were determined. Correlations were calculated between seizure duration and secretory responses. Results : All four hormones demonstrated significant secretory responses to ECT, with AVP increasing from 1.2 to 33.3pg/ml(P<0.001), ACTH from 5.4 to 32.3fmol/ml(P<0001). PRL from 21.8 to 102.2ng/ml(P<0.005) and cortisol from 20.1 to 31.1ug/dl(P<0.001). The three pituitary hormones showed consistent time courses of secretion with onset of responses by three minutes but clearly differing peak times of 3, 6, and 12-15 minutes for AVP, ACTH, and PRL, respectively. Cortisol began to rise after 6minutes and pecked between 20-30minutes. There ware no significant correlations between seizure duration and any of the secretory response measures. Conclusions : 1) The pituitary hormone response to ECT is sequential rather than synchronous 2) The AVP response was extremely rapid and more massive than those of any other hormones. 3) The ACTH response of this study was more rapid and mare robust than thai revealed by the mast of past studies. 4) The results strongly suggest that the pituitary hormones are released as a result of the seizure rather tho, the electrical stimulus. 5) The sequential pattern of responses suggests that neuroendocine feedback-regulatory mechanisms determine the response profile.

Steam generator(SG) tube, as a barrier isolating primary to the secondary coolant system of nuclear power plants(NPP), must maintain the structural integrity far the public safety and its efficient power generation capacity. And SG tubes bearing defects must be timely detected and taken repair measures if needed. For the accomplishment of these objectives, SG tubes have been periodically examined by eddy current testing(ECT) on the basis of administrative notices and intensified SG management program(SGMP). Stress corrosion cracking(SCC) on the SG tubes is not easily detected and even missed since it has lower signal amplitude and other disturbing factors against its detection. However once SCC is developed, that can cause detrimental affects to the SG tubes due to its rapid propagation rate. Accordingly SCC is categorized as prime damage mechanism challenging the soundness of the SG tubes. In this study, reproduced EDM notch specimens are examined for the detectability and quantitative characterization of the axial ODSCC by +PT MRPC probe, containing pancake, +PT and shielded pancake coils apart in a single plane around the circumference. The results of this study are assumed to be applicable fur providing key information of engineering evaluation of SCC and improvement of confidence level of ECT on SG tubes.

This study was conducted to examine the effect of a gamma irradiation on the antioxidant activity of ethanol extract from cooking drips of Thunnus thynnus (ECT). The electron donating ability against 1,1-diphenyl- 2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH), authentic hydroxyl radical scavenging activity by Ultra Weak Luminescence Analyzer, oxidative protection factors by Racimat method, ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), and ${\beta}$-carotene bleaching activity were measured as indices of antioxidant activity. All of the results shown that irradiation increased the antioxidant activity of ECT. These results suggested that ECT could be used as an antioxidative component in food and gamma irradiation could enhance these antioxidative properties.

본 논문에서는 와전류 탐상시험을 이용하여 전력선의 절연상태 진단을 수행하였다. 전력선은 6~18 가닥의 선으로 이루어져 있는데 절연상태 변화를 위해 수산화나트륨으로 전력선의 부식을 유도하였으며, 18~27 시간으로 부식시간을 설정하여 시편을 구분하였다. 전력선의 인장력시험, 뒤틀림시험, 전자주사현미경 등을 통하여 물리적 특성을 검토하였으며, 또한 200~800[mV]의 전압에서 부식에 따른 와전류 특성을 조사하였다.

Ferrite plating enables were grown by ferrite by plating method in solution at low temperature(<10$0^{\circ}C$). This faciltates the fabrication of new ferrite thin film devices using non- heat-resistant materials(plastic, GaAs ect) as substrates. Combining the ferrite plating with sonochemistry, application of power ultrasonic waves to stimulate chemical reactions, the crystallinity and qualities of films were improved. Modifying the reactions cell and plating conditions further improved the film quality.

Improve of productivity is a key for the development of a company, which can be pursued in the apect of material factor and personal factor. And the motives of worker for their job is more influenced by the chance of incentive compensation or self-development than by participation in management and safety of their post ect. Contingency theory is one of the theories that cope with this study Therfore, this study describes incentive compensation for satisfying worker desire related company's productivity, and be presented to the aspect of contingency accounting.

In this paper, a method of estimating second-order Volterra model with ARCH errors is presented. Then we use an ECLMS algorithm for noise canceling of nonlinear time series. The validity of the proposed method is demonstrated for estimating second-order Volterra model with ARCH errors, using computer simulations.

The Evaluation system of Excellent Construction Technology has been operated for 15 years from 1990 in Korea. 443 technologies have been certified as Excellent Construction Technology(ECT) and those ECTs are adapted over 20,000 times into the construction projects. As a result of investigation, new technology evaluation system became a stable stage because new technology evaluation system has assigned about 433 and also applied more than 20,000 times in construction sites in 2004. However, it was indicated to a large problem that there aren't still detail criteria of cost assessment for using ECTs. Therefore, we analyzed the status and problems of the cost of using ECTs and suggested some useful ideas which are reviewed by various aspects. Specially we suggested specified criteria for the cost assessment of using ECTs. It is based on the scheduled construction cost and determined the rate $({\bullet}{\cdot})$ of using ECTs. To adapt ECTs into construction projects nationwide not only it is very important to certify better new technologies but also it is required to make the criteria of cost assessment for using ECTs.
