The Fukushima-Daiichi accident shook the world, as a well-known plant design, the General Electric BWR Mark I, was heavily damaged in the tsunami, which followed the Great Japanese Earthquake of 11 March 2011. Plant safety functions were lost and, as both AC and DC failed, manoeuvrability of the plants at the site virtually came to a full stop. The traditional system of Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs) and Severe Accident Management Guidelines (SAMG) failed to protect core and containment, and severe core damage resulted, followed by devastating hydrogen explosions and, finally, considerable radioactive releases. The root cause may not only have been that the design against tsunamis was incorrect, but that the defence against accidents in most power plants is based on traditional assumptions, such as Large Break LOCA as the limiting event, whereas there is no engineered design against severe accidents in most plants. Accidents beyond the licensed design basis have hardly been considered in the various designs, and if they were included, they often were not classified for their safety role, as most system safety classifications considered only design basis accidents. It is, hence, time to again consider the Design Basis Accident, and ask ourselves whether the time has not come to consider engineered safety functions to mitigate core damage accidents. Associated is a proper classification of those systems that do the job. Also associated are safety criteria, which so far are only related to 'public health and safety'; in reality, nuclear accidents cause few casualties, but create immense economical and societal effects-for which there are no criteria to be met. Severe accidents create an environment far surpassing the imagination of those who developed EOPs and SAMG, most of which was developed after Three Mile Island - an accident where all was still in place, except the insight in the event was lost. It requires fundamental changes in our present safety approach and safety thinking and, hence, also in our EOPs and SAMG, in order to prevent future 'Fukushimas'.

TA-50 항공기는 공중전에 대비하여 공대공, 공대지 사격 훈련 등 다양한 상황에 대한 모의 훈련을 수행하고 있다. 또한 조종사의 실전 배치 전 훈련용으로도 사용되고 있다. 그러나 TA-50은 스마트 무장 운용 능력을 보유하고 있지 않아 훈련에 제한이 되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 TA-50 항공기에 스마트 무장 중 하나인 합동정밀직격탄(JDAM)의 가상훈련이 가능하도록 구현하고자 하였다. 먼저, TA-50 항공기와 유사한 기종인 FA-50 항공기에 구현된 JDAM 기능을 분석하였다. 또한 FA-50 항공기에 구현된 기능은 소스코드의 직접 활용이 불가능하므로 머신러닝 기법(TensorFlow)을 활용하여 알고리즘을 추출하였다. 본 기능을 구현함으로써 실 무장을 장착하지 않아도 실제와 유사한 훈련이 가능할 것으로 기대된다. 마지막으로 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 연구의 한계점을 보완하여 실제와 동일하게 구현할 수 있는 방안을 제안하고자 한다.

황해에서와 같은 선형의 양향성 대륙붕 해저 지형에서 저주파의 분산관계가 단주기$\cdot$단파까지 포함하는 장주기$\cdot$장파 경우에 대해 유도되었다. 선형의 양향성 대륙붕에서 장주기$\cdot$장파일 경우 Bessel 방정식이 유도되는데 비해 일반적인 경우에는 Hummer 방정식이 유도된다. Hummer 방정식의 해로 유도되는 confluent Hypergeometric 함수는 극한 경우에 여러 형태로 바뀐다. 단일한 대륙붕에서는 해안선과 수직한 방향의 대륵붕 규모가 Rossby deformation radius에 비해 많이 작을 때는 수평흐름의 수렴$\cdot$발산효과가 무시되지만 양향성 대륙붕에서는 수평흐름의 수린$\cdot$발산효과가 해안선과 수직한 방향의 대륙붕규모가 관계없이 파동역학에 결정적으로 중요하다. 수렴$\cdot$발산효과는 Kelvin 파를 포함시키며 대륙붕파의 파속을 감소시킨다. 끝으로 양향성 대륙붕의 비마찰 eigenfunction들의 직교가 증명되었다.

In this paper, we describe the results of a combined experimental theoretical study designed to understand and predict the dielectric properties of SF$_{6}$ and SF$_{6}$+Ar mixtures. The electron transport, ionization, and attachment coefficients for pure SF$_{6}$ and gas mixtures containing SF$_{6}$ has been analysed over the E/N range 30~300[Td] by a two term Boltzmann equation and by a Monte Carlo Simulation using a set of electron cross sections determined by other authors, experimentally the electron swarm parameters for 0.2[%] and 0.5[%] SF$_{6}$+Ar mixtures were measured by time- of- flight method, The results show that the deduced electron drift velocities, the electron ionization or attachment coefficients, longitudinal and transverse diffusion coefficients and mean energy agree reasonably well with the experimental and theoretical for a rang of E/N values. Electron energy distribution functions computed from numerical solutions of the electron transport and reaction coefficients as functions of E/N. We have calculated $\alpha$,η and $\alpha$-η the ionization, attachment coefficients, effective ionization coefficients, and (E/N), the limiting breakdown electric-field to gas density ratio, in SF$_{6}$ and SF$_{6}$+Ar mixtures by numerically solving the Boltzmann equation for the electron energy distribution. The results obtained from Boltzmann equation method and Monte Carlo simulation have been compared with present and previously obtained data and respective set of electron collision cross sections of theections of the

심층신경망은 다양한 문제를 해결하는데 널리 사용되고 있다. 하지만 은닉층이 깊은 심층신경망을 학습하는 동안 빈번히 발생하는 기울기 소실 또는 폭주 문제는 심층신경망 학습의 큰 걸림돌이 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기울기 소실이 발생하는 원인 중 비선형활성함수에 의해 발생할 수 있는 기울기 소실 문제를 완화하기 위해 파라메트릭 활성함수를 제안한다. 제안된 파라메트릭 활성함수는 입력 데이터의 특성에 따라 활성함수의 크기 및 위치를 변환시킬 수 있는 파라미터를 적용하여 얻을 수 있으며 역전파과정을 통해 활성함수의 미분 크기에 제한이 없는 손실함수를 최소화되도록 학습시킬 수 있다. 은닉층 수가 10개인 XOR문제와 은닉층 수가 8개인 MNIST 분류문제를 통하여 기존 비선형활성함수와 파라메트릭활성함수의 성능을 비교하였고 제안한 파라메트릭 활성함수가 기울기 소실 완화에 우월한 성능을 가짐을 확인하였다.

A 90 d study was designed to investigate the effects of rumen undegradable protein (RUP) and a mixture of Cu, Zn and Mn proteinate (CZMP) on milk yield and composition and ovarian functions during rainy months. Twenty four Holstein${\times}$ indigenous cows in their 2nd and 3rd lactation were randomly allocated to total mixed rations (TMR) containing soy bean meal (SBM) as a source of rumen degradable protein (RDP), SBM plus CZMP, and formalin treated SBM (FSBM) as a source of RUP. Maximum and minimum temperature humidity index during the experimental period were 83.6-84.7 and 75.4-76.1. There were no differences (p>0.05) in intakes of dry matter, crude protein and net energy and in contents of butterfat, lactose and minerals. Cows on TMR containing FSBM not only lost less weight (-278, -467 and -433 g/d) with more intake of RUP (0.92, 0.58 and 0.59 kg/d) but also produced more milk (19.27, 18.23 and 18.13 kg/d) and 4% fat corrected milk (18.57, 17.57 and 17.51 kg/d) with more protein (3.06, 2.81 and 2.80%), solids-not-fat (8.69, 8.38 and 8.38%) and less milk urea N (9.3, 15.4 and 15.0 mg/dl) compared with those on TMR containing SBM and SBM+CZMP, respectively (p<0.01). However, cows on TMR containing SBM and SBM+CZMP did not differ in these respects (p>0.05). Whereas incidence of cystic ovaries at 20 and 90 d pospartum was less (p<0.01) in cows on TMR containing SBM+CZMP (37.3 and 12.5%) than those on TMR containing SBM (62.5 and 25%), it was nil for cows on TMR containing FSBM. Cows in all three group differed (p<0.01) from each other for the recurrence of first observed estrus with those on TMR containing FSBM having least days (22, 36 and 47 d) compared with their counterpart on TMR containing SBM+CZMP and SBM, repectively. The results suggest that RUP is one of the limiting factors affecting milk yield and its composition and ovarian functions during early lactation of dairy cows in the tropics.

Platelets play a very important role in nomal hemostasis and their functions are more enhanced in various pathogenic states than in normal state. Especially it has been postulated that abnormal platelet and endothelium function might be major factors of microcirculatory disturbance in diabetes mellitus. Hydroxybrazilin, a phenolic constituent of Hematoxylon campechianum has been examined for its inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation. Its antiaggregatory effect might be mediated through the decrease of ATP release from dense granule and those of thromboxane $A_2$ production in normal and streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. The present study was undertaken to gain insight into the mechanism that hydroxybrazilin inhibited thromboxane $A_2$ production in platelets. Thus we measured the effect of hydroxybrazilin on phospholipase $A_2$, a rate limiting step of thromboxane $A_2$ production, in normal and streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. Hydroxybrazilin significantly inhibited the platelet phospholipase $A_2$ activity in normal and streptozotocin induced diabetic rats.

Though multi-panel structures lined with a poroelastic material have been widely used to reduce sound transmission in various fields, most of the previous works to design them were conducted by repeated analyses or experiments based on initially given configurations or sequences. Therefore, it was difficult to obtain the optimal sequence of multi-panel structures lined with a poroelastic material yielding superior sound isolation capability. In this work, we propose a new design method to sequence a multi-panel structure lined with a poroelastic material having maximized sound transmission loss. Being formulated as a one-dimensional topology optimization problem for a given target frequency, the optimal sequencing of panel-poroelastic layers is systematically carried out in an iterative manner. In this method, a panel layer is expressed as a limiting case of a poroelastic layer to facilitate the optimization process. This means that main material properties of a poroelastic material are treated as Interpolated functions of design variables. The designed sequences of panel-poroelastic layers were shown to be significantly affected by the target frequencies; more panel layers were used at higher target frequencies. The sound transmission loss of the system was calculated by the transfer matrix derived from Biot's theory.

According to the characteristics of continuous beam bridges, the relative displacement is too large to collision or even girder falling under earthquakes. A device named Cable-sliding Modular Expansion Joints(CMEJs) that can control the relative displacement and avoid collision under different ground motions is proposed. Working principle and mechanical model is described. This paper design the CMEJs, establish the restoring force model, verify the force model of this device by the pseudo-static tests, and describe and analyze results of the tests, and then based on a triple continuous beam bridge that has different heights of piers, a 3D model with or without CMEJs were established under Conventional System (CS) and Seismic Isolation System (SIS). The results show that this device can control the relative displacement and avoid collisions. The combination of isolation technology and CMEJs can be more effective to achieve both functions, but it need to take measures to prevent girder falling due to the displacement between pier and beam under large earthquakes.
