In this paper, we describe a computer program, iBEST (inverse Burnup ESTimator), that we developed to accurately estimate the burnup histories of spent nuclear fuels based on sample measurement data. The burnup history parameters include initial uranium enrichment, burnup, cooling time after discharge from reactor, and reactor type. The program uses algebraic equations derived using the simplified burnup chains of major actinides for initial estimations of burnup and uranium enrichment, and it uses the ORIGEN-S code to correct its initial estimations for improved accuracy. In addition, we newly developed a stable bisection method coupled with ORIGEN-S to correct burnup and enrichment values and implemented it in iBEST in order to fully take advantage of the new capabilities of ORIGEN-S for improving accuracy. The iBEST program was tested using several problems for verification and well-known realistic problems with measurement data from spent fuel samples from the Mihama-3 reactor for validation. The test results show that iBEST accurately estimates the burnup history parameters for the test problems and gives an acceptable level of accuracy for the realistic Mihama-3 problems.

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the number of patients with and without medical history transported to the emergency department due to changes in daily temperature and season. Methods: Data on emergency activity sheet and daily weather were collected from March 2016 to February 2017 in the city of Gyeonggi-do. In total, 13,531 patients were transferred to the emergency department in 119 ambulance. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (version 21). Results: The daily average number of patients transferred was the highest in August and September, i.e., the summer season. The higher the daily highest and lowest temperatures, higher the daily average number of patients transferred. In contrast, patients with medical history of hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, and pulmonary disease had a higher incidence of transfers in the winter season and on days with lower temperature. Conclusion: The results indicate that as people become more active during the summer when temperatures are high, the chances of daily emergencies increases, whereas patients with medical history are more likely to experience emergencies when the temperatures were lower. Hence, 119 ambulances will have to be prepared in advance to deal with this trend.

Gangweon-do is known to be highly endemic area of sparganosis more than other provinces in Korea. A seroepidmiologic examination for the detection of anti-Spirometra erinacei plerocercoid IgG in serum was carried out in normal inhabitants in Hongcheon-gun, Gangweon-do. Sere were tested by enzyme-linked immunosrobent assay (ELISA) for the anti-sparganum antibodies. Positive rate for anti-sparganum antibody in 719 adults was 3.3%. Data of the questionnaire for 24 ELISA positive inhabitants revealed that 20 had a history of eating raw meat of snakes, 24 had a history of eating frogs, and 24 had a history of drinking stream water. Two positive cases had a past history of sparganosis. Two positive cases showed current symptoms of sparganosis. The data revealed that ELISA would be useful to find infected cases among normal inhabitants at sparganosis-endemic areas.

지형 지물의 생성, 소멸, 변경으로 인한 수치지형도의 변경은 정보의 변경으로 표현할 수 있는데 사회가 복잡해짐에 따라 수치지형도 상의 지형 지물의 복잡도가 커지고 다른 객체와의 관계도 복잡해지고 있다. 정확성과 최신성을 유지하면서 수치지형도에 효율적으로 반영하기 위해서 준공도면을 이용한 부분갱신을 수행하는데 이는 현장측량을 수행하지 않는 부분갱신의 단점을 보완할 수 있으나 정보가 포함된 파일 혹은 데이터베이스 전체가 생성 혹은 소멸될 경우와 달리 객체별로 변경이 될 경우 원천자료의 상이, 갱신일자의 상이 등 부가적인 문제가 발생하므로 공간정보 속성정보의 생성, 변동, 소멸에 대한 이력 항목을 선정하고 관리하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 준공도면을 활용한 수치지형도 갱신시스템의 업무를 분석하고 필요한 이력항목을 제시하였다.

Objectives: We evaluated the reliability of the possible covariates of the baseline survey data collected for the Epidemiological Investigation on Cancer Risk Among Residents Who Reside Near the Nuclear Power Plants in Korea. Methods: Follow-up surveys were conducted for 477 participants of the cohort at less than 1 year after the initial survey. The mean interval between the initial and follow-up surveys was 282.5 days. Possible covariates were identified by analyzing the correlations with the exposure variable and associations with the outcome variables for all the variables. Logistic regression analysis with stepwise selection was further conducted among the possible covariates to select variables that have covariance with other variables. We considered that these variables can be representing other variables. Seven variables for the males and 3 variables for the females, which had covariance with other possible covariates, were selected as representative variables. The Kappa index of each variable was calculated. Results: For the males, the Kappa indexes were as follow; family history of cancer was 0.64, family history of liver diseases in parents and siblings was 0.56, family history of hypertension in parents and siblings was 0.51, family history of liver diseases was 0.50, family history of hypertension was 0.44, a history of chronic liver diseases was 0.53 and history of pulmonary tuberculosis was 0.36. For females, the Kappa indexes were as follow; family history of cancer was 0.58, family history of hypertension in parents and siblings was 0.56 and family history of hypertension was 0.47. Conclusions: Most of the possible covariates showed good to moderate agreement.

멀티미디어 컨텐츠 전송을 위한 모바일 애드-혹(ad-hoc) 네트워크 라우팅 프로토콜은 네트워크의 QoS를 보장해야 때문에 적은 지연 시간과 설립된 경로를 유지하는 것을 필요로 한다. 이 논문에서 제안하는 프로토콜인 HODMRP(History-based On-Demand Multicast Routing Protocol)는 경로를 설립하기 위하여 session history라는 기준을 추가함으로써 강화된 On-Demand Multicast Routing Protocol (ODMRP)이다. 만일 경로가 깨지는 경우가 발생한다면, session history에 의하여 이미 선택된 여분의 안정적인 경로를 이용하여 전송할 수 있다는 것이 이 프로토콜의 특징이다. HODMRP는 시뮬레이션 결과에 의할 때 ODMRP보다 더 나은 패킷 전송률(PDR) 값과 더 낮은 지연 시간을 가진다.
