  • The objective of the present study is to perform experiments for water filled cavity heated and cooled from the side at $Ra=8.5{\times}108$. This experiment can provide validation database of the standard k-${\varepsilon}$ turbulence model for single-phase turbulent natural convection which has been regarded as one of the important phenomena in nuclear safety. For the natural convection inside a cavity, temperature and velocity were obtained by thermometry and PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) methods. These results would be used for validation of standard k-${\varepsilon}$ turbulence model.

  • The basic understanding of gas diffusion and technology to predict the diffusion phenomena are needed to prepare against a disaster of leakage of natural gas and to design better consistent and reliable gas supply system in enclosure. The experimental results of British Gas Technology Co. are used in present study as a reference of theoretical study using CFD. The present results of 2D CFD analysis for mass flow rate of nozzle release show good agreement with experimental results within 2.6 % error. 3D CFD analysis for the characteristics of natural gas diffusion in enclosure with various ventilation patterns also gives reasonable agreement with experimental results.

  • For improvement of heat dissipation performance, heat analysis is conducted on the newly designed heat sinks under two convection conditions by using computational fluid dynamics(CFD). Three types of heat sink, plate, wave and top vented wave, are used, and convection conditions are the variations of gravity direction at natural convection and of fan location at forced convection. The results of analysis showed that the heat resistances of top vented wave heat sink were $0.17^{\circ}C$/W(forced convection) and $0.48^{\circ}C$/W(natural convection). In the case of natural convection, gravity direction affected heat flow change, and protection against heat performance was superior in case of z-axis gravity direction. Under the forced convection, all the heat sinks revealed superior thermal characteristics in the fan position of z-axis rather than y-axis. In this study, it was observed that the top vented wave type heat sink showed the best ability of heat radiation comparing with the others.

  • The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of moving mass on the vibration characteristics and the dynamic response of the simply supported beam. The three types of the moving mass(moving load, unsprung mass, and sprung mass) are applied to the vehicle-bridge interaction analysis. The numerical analyses are then conducted to evaluate the effect of the mass, spring and damper properties of the moving mass on natural frequencies and dynamic responses of the simply supported beam. Particularly, in the case of the sprung mass, variations of the natural frequency of simply supported beam are explored depending on the position of the moving mass and the frequency ratio of the moving mass and the beam. Finally the parametric studies on the resonance phenomena are performed with changing mass, spring and damper parameters through the dynamic interaction analyses.

  • This study aimed at identifying the organization of contents, the level and scope, the time of study and experiment acivities in science text books by comparing and analizing the characteristics of the Elementary School Educational Curriculum in Korea, China and Japan. First, the objectives of science subject are focussed on understanding nature exactly, learning inquiry methods and developping scientific attitudes. This is very desirable in the lights of teaching students' characteristics. Second, three countries, Korea, China and japan treat the natural phenomena impartially in the formation of the contents of natural science. Especially, china threats scientic contents related to the real life themes importantly. Third, the number of concepts and pages of the natural science textbook are put in Korea. China and Japan in order. Time of study and the level scope of contents in natural science should be composed of desirable national situations. Forth, the time of experiment activities is put in Korea, Japan and china also in order.

  • Several hundred flies of Drosophila melanogaster collected in Anyang City were selected for positive, negative and neutral directions during 15 generations. The population responded effectively to the artificial selection. The realized heritability estimated for the first 10 generations was $2 \\sim 4%$ per generation in the positive and negative phototaxis. The results of diallel crosses among selected populations indicated that some polygenes showing a negative phototaxis were partially dominant over polygenes controlled the positive phototaxis, and the dominant effect became greater in later generations. The populations selected for positive and negative phototaxis were relaxed after 15 generations of selection, and their phototactic responses were completely returned to their original states. Such phenomena would be explained by the genetic homeostasis resulted from an action of natural selection. It seems reasonable to assume that the phototactic neutrality of a natural population was maintained as an adaptive trait under natural environment.

  • Reactor cavity cooling systems (RCCSs) comprising passive safety features use the atmosphere as a coolant, which cannot be lost. However, their drawback is that they are easily affected by atmospheric disturbances. To realize the commercial application of the two types of passive RCCSs, namely RCCSs based on atmospheric radiation and atmospheric natural circulation, their safety must be evaluated, that is, they must be able to remove heat from the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) surface at all times and under any condition other than under normal operating conditions. These include both expected and unexpected natural phenomena and accidents. Moreover, they must be able to eliminate the heat leakage emitted from the RPV surface during normal operation. However, utilizing all of the heat emitted from the RPV surface increases the degree of waste heat utilization. This study aims to understand the characteristics and degree of passive safety features for heat removal by comparing RCCSs based on atmospheric radiation and atmospheric natural circulation under the same conditions. It was concluded that the proposed RCCS based on atmospheric radiation has an advantage in that the temperature of the RPV could be stably maintained against disturbances in the ambient air.

  • Home economics education professional knowledge consists of empirical interpretive critical science component. Thus it is imperative that the alternative research perspectives be used to gain certain knowledge for the profession of home economics education. In human inquiry and education there is a growing concern that the dominant research paradigm positivist natural science model is inadequate to address the phenomena constructed by persons. However, Home economics education has not examined and almost utilized alternative research perspectives. This review will probe research logic and resecrach methodology of qualitative inquiry within home economics education and highlight the shift from positivism to post-positivism.

  • Current physics-based simulation is an important tool in the fluid animation. However some problems require a new change to current research trends which depend only on the simulation. The ultimate goal of this project is to obtain information of flow example, analyze an example through machine learning and the novel fluid animation reconfigure without physical simulation.

  • Biological rhythms are very important phenomena to generate, grow a living thing. However, the origin of rhythms are not disclosed completely until now. Eack myocardial cell has a natural rhythm of itself, and synchronization is happened when two cells are come in contact with each other. In this research, a simple synchronization model has been proposed and studied, refering to the physiological model. The changes of the synchronization rhythms in experimental results are compared with that of the model.
