Uncertainties are calculated for pressurized water reactor (PWR) spent nuclear fuel (SNF) characteristics. The deterministic code STREAM is currently being used as an SNF analysis tool to obtain isotopic inventory, radioactivity, decay heat, neutron and gamma source strengths. The SNF analysis capability of STREAM was recently validated. However, the uncertainty analysis is yet to be conducted. To estimate the uncertainty due to nuclear data, STREAM is used to perturb nuclear cross section (XS) and resonance integral (RI) libraries produced by NJOY99. The perturbation of XS and RI involves the stochastic sampling of ENDF/B-VII.1 covariance data. To estimate the uncertainty due to modeling parameters (fuel design and irradiation history), surrogate models are built based on polynomial chaos expansion (PCE) and variance-based sensitivity indices (i.e., Sobol' indices) are employed to perform global sensitivity analysis (GSA). The calculation results indicate that uncertainty of SNF due to modeling parameters are also very important and as a result can contribute significantly to the difference of uncertainties due to nuclear data and modeling parameters. In addition, the surrogate model offers a computationally efficient approach with significantly reduced computation time, to accurately evaluate uncertainties of SNF integral characteristics.

High GABA-enriched yeast extract, for various nutritionally and pharmaceutically important functional foods, was prepared using a novel isolate of Debaryomyces hansenii JBCC541. Under optimized conditions, GABA conversion rates are significantly enhanced up to 7.55 g/l by D. hansenii JBCC541, increasing their synthesis yield 40 times. The total amino acid content of the prepared yeast extract was 10733.86 mg/l (257.36 mg/g), consisting of alanine, lysine, glutamine, leucine, and valine as the primary amino acids. The GABA content was significantly enhanced up to 6790 mg/l (162.80 mg/g) in the presence of glutamic acid, with approximately 10-fold higher GABA production. Flavor amino acids were also highly enhanced, indicating that the prepared yeast extract might be useful for preparing various functional and sensuous foods. Our results were promising as a GABA-enriched yeast extract preparation tool ensuring a suitable food material level with the potential for functionally enhanced food industrial applications.

Anomaly detection on building energy consumption has been regarded as an effective tool to reduce energy saving on building operation and maintenance. However, it requires energy model and FDD expert for quantitative model approach or large amount of training data for qualitative/history data approach. Both method needs additional time and labors. This study propose a machine learning and data science approach to define faulty conditions on hourly building energy consumption with reducing data amount and input requirement. It suggests an application of Support Vector Data Description (SVDD) method on training normal condition of hourly building energy consumption incorporated with hourly outdoor air temperature and time integer in a week, 168 data points and identifying hourly abnormal condition in the next day. The result shows the developed model has a better performance when the ${\nu}$ (probability of error in the training set) is 0.05 and ${\gamma}$ (radius of hyper plane) 0.2. The model accuracy to identify anomaly operation ranges from 70% (10% increase anomaly) to 95% (20% decrease anomaly) for daily total (24 hours) and from 80% (10% decrease anomaly) to 10%(15% increase anomaly) for occupied hours, respectively.

A new method of dose calculation algorithm, called GPU-accelerated Monte Carlo and collapsed cone Convolution (GMCC) was developed to improve the calculation speed of BNCT treatment planning system. The GPU-accelerated Monte Carlo routine in GMCC is used to simulate the neutron transport over whole energy range and the Collapsed Cone Convolution method is to calculate the gamma dose. Other dose components due to alpha particles and protons, are calculated using the calculated neutron flux and reaction data. The mathematical principle and the algorithm architecture are introduced. The accuracy and performance of the GMCC were verified by comparing with the FLUKA results. A water phantom and a head CT voxel model were simulated. The neutron flux and the absorbed dose obtained by the GMCC were consistent well with the FLUKA results. In the case of head CT voxel model, the mean absolute percentage error for the neutron flux and the absorbed dose were 3.98% and 3.91%, respectively. The calculation speed of the absorbed dose by the GMCC was 56 times faster than the FLUKA code. It was verified that the GMCC could be a good candidate tool instead of the Monte Carlo method in the BNCT dose calculations.

Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is one of the ancient crops cultivated in the Andes region at an altitude of 3,500-4000m in Chile and Bolivia from 5000 BC. It contains a large amount of protein, minerals and vitamins in comparison with other crops. The cultivation area has been increasing worldwide because of its excellent resistance to various abiotic stress such as salinity, drought and low temperature. ${\gamma}$-Ray radiation of high dose is often used as a tool to induce mutations in plant breeding, but it has a deleterious effect on organisms. However, the radiation may have a positive stimulatory effect of 'hormesis' in the low dose range. This experiment was carried out to investigate the optimum dose range for creating the quinoa genetic resources and to investigate the hormesis effect at low dose on the quinoa. This experiment was performed for 120 days from November, 2016 to February, 2017 in the greenhouse of Gyeongsang National University. ${\gamma}$-Ray radiation was irradiated to seeds at 0 Gy, 50 Gy, 100 Gy, 200 Gy, 300 Gy, 400 Gy, 600 Gy, 800 Gy and 1000 Gy for 8 hours. (50 Gy) using the low level radiation facility ($Co^{60}$) of Cooperative Research Institute of Radiation Research Institute, KAERI. Fifty seeds were placed on each petri dish lined with wet filter paper and germination rate was measured at a time interval of 2 hours for 40 hrs. The length of the root length was measured one week after germination. Each treatment was carried out in 3 replicates. The growth of seedlings were investigated for 10 days after transplanting of 30 day-old seedlings. The plant height, NDVI, SPAD, Fv/Fm, and panicle weight were measured. The germination rate was highest at 50Gy and 0Gy and the rate of seeds treated with 400Gy or higher rate decreased to 25% of the seeds treated with 50Gy. The emergence rate of seedling in pot experiment was higher at the dose of 200 Gy, 300 Gy and 400 Gy than at 0 and 50Gy. However, the rate was lower at strong radiation higher than 600Gy at which $1^{st}$ leaf was not expanded fully and dead due to extreme overgrowth at 44 days after treatment (DAT). The highest value of panicle weight was observed at 50Gy (6.15g) and 100Gy (5.57g). On the other hand, the weight at high irradiated dose of 300Gy and 400Gy was decreased by about 55% compared to low dose (50 Gy). NDVI measurement also showed the highest value at 50 Gy as the growth progressed. SPAD was the highest at 400 Gy and showed positive correlation with irradiation dose except 0 Gy. Fv/Fm was high at 50 Gy up to 30 DAT and no difference between treatments was observed except for 400 Gy from 44 DAT. The plant height was the highest in 50Gy during the growing period and was higher in the order of 50Dy, 100Gy, 0Gy, 200Gy, 300Gy and 400Gy in 88 DAT. In this experiment, the optimal radiation dose for hormesis was 50Gy and 100Gy, and the optimal radiation dose for mutagenesis seems to be 400 Gy.

이 연구의 목적은 몬테칼로 모사방법을 이용하여 배열형 CsI 섬광결정을 가진 소형 감마카메라의 평행구멍형 조준기를 최적화하고 조준기 부착시 발생할 수 있는 결합오차가 영상의 질에 미치는 영향을 평가하는 것이다. GATE 코드를 이용하여 육각형과 사각형 평행구멍형 조준기의 구멍크기에 따른 Tc-99m 점선원 영상의 민감도 및 공간분해능을 측정하고 최적화된 조준기를 바탕으로 조준기와 섬광체 사이에 2 mm 이내의 미세한 틈이 있을 경우에 대한 평판선원의 영상 균일도를 측정하였다. 동일 구멍크기에 대해 사각구멍형 조준기가 육각구멍형 조준기에 비해 민감도가 우수한 결과를 보였으며, 섬광결정과 사각구멍조준기의 크기를 1 대 4로 일치시켰을 때, 선원의 거리에 따른 공간분해능의 변화가 가장 적은 것을 알 수 있었다. 조준기와 검출기의 결합면 평행오차는 영상의 균일도와 민감도 모두를 선형적으로 감소시키는 경향을 보였다. 이 연구 결과는 배열형 섬광결정과 단일 섬광결정에 대해 조준기의 성능차이를 보이고, 영상의 균일도 및 민감도 저하의 원인이 조준기의 결합오차에서 기인할 수 있음을 증명함으로써, 핵의학 영상 화질 개선을 위한 새로운 접근법을 제시한다.

Chromium is one of the representative toxic substance by occupational exposure which damage the mucosa of respiratory tract including nasal septal perforation. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of chromium exposure on olfactory function and to obtain the fundamental information about chromium exposure. The authors performed olfactory function test, laboratory tests and questionnaire interview on the subject of three groups, that is, two exposed groups and one nonexposed group from May 1 to June 30, 1994. Exposed group 1 was 15 male workers without nasal septal perforation, exposed group 2 was 15 male workers with nasal septal perforation among 103 workers in 22 chromium plating factories, and nonexposed group was 15 male medical students. The gathered informations were histories of chromium exposure, habits of smoking and alcohol drinking, the concentrations of chromium in serum and urine, and asparate aminotransferase(AST), alanine aminotransferase(ALT), gamma-glutamyl transferase, etc. Olfactory function was checked by T and T olfectometer using phenyl ethyl alcohol(material A), methyl cyclopentenolone(material B), iso-valeric acid(material C), $\gamma$-undecalactone(material D), skatole(material E) and the results were expressed by detection threshold(DT) and recognition threshold(RT). There was a significant difference between exposed groups and nonexposed group in A, B, C, D, E substances by DT and in A, B, C, D substances by RT(P<0.01). The degree of olfactory dysfunction was highest in the exposed group 2 and lowest in the nonexposed group in all five substances by DT and it was same in A B, D substances RT and the difference of RT and DT. As summary, olfactory dysfunction by chromium exposure was recognized and the degree of olfactory dysfunction was higher in the exposed group with nasal septal perforation. Therefore, it would be helpful to apply olfactory function test for the early detection of olfactory dysfunction, and this test would be considered as the basic tool within workers' compensation system.

P. phosphoreum을 이용하여 연속 모니터링 시스템을 개발하고자 free cell과 고정화 세포의 중금속 물질에 대한 반응을 일차로 조사하였다. 고정화 물질로는 절차가 비교적 간단하고 bioluminescence 투과성에 영향을 주지 않는 sodium algmate를 사용하였다. Alginate는 발광미생물의 빛 발생 대사를 저해하지 않을 뿐만 아니라 bioluminescence의 투과성이 탁월하였다. 중금속 물질 중에서 $HgCl_2$, $CdCl_2$, $MnSO_4$, $ZnSO_4$를 선택하여 free cell과 alginate 혼합 세포 및 strontium alginate에 고정화한 세포에 노출시켜 반응을 조사하였으며, 또한 독성 및 strontium alginate에 고정화한 gel을 disc type으로 제조하여 중금속 물질에 대한 bioluminescence의 변화를 조사하였다. Free cell과 disc type의 세포가 alginate 혼합세포 및 strontium alginate로 고정화한 세포에 비해서 비교적 민감한 반응을 보였으며 중금속 물질의 농도에 대하여 bioluminescence intensity의 감소율이 비례하여 나타났다. 특히, 고정화 세포인경우 free cell 보다 중금속의 mass transfer에 미치는 영향 때문에 민감성은 떨어지지만 모두 linear regression curve를 나타내었다. Disc type의 경우 alginate에 혼합한 세포와 strontium alginate로 고정화한 세포보다 민감한 반응을 보인 것은 중금속에 노출된 면적이 넓기 때문으로 사료된다. 독성물질에 대한 반응분석을 위하여 Gamma value로부터 $EC_{50}$을 계산하였으며 이를 이용하여 각 중금속 물질의 농도와 P. phosphoreum의 bioluminescence intensity와의 상관관계 및 각 중금속 물질의 독성정도를 산출하였다. $EC_{50}$값을 이용하여 독성정도를 볼 때 4가지 type 모두 $HgCl_2$가 가장 독성이 강한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과를 종합해 볼때 P. phosphoreum을 고정화 할 경우 bioluminescence에 거의 영향을 미치지 않을 뿐만 아니라 bioluminescence의 안정성에도 기여하기 때문에 모니터링 시스템에 적용할 수 있다. 특히 disc type의 고정화 제재는 free cell과 동등한 민감도를 나타내었기 때문에 빛 안정성을 유지하면서 수질 모니터링을 위한 bioluminescence제재로 이용이 가능하다.
