This study presents that the orientation and the geometry of seed affect on the growth behavior of melt processed single grain REBCO bulk superconductor and its magnetic properties. The effects of seed geometry have been investigated for thin $30mm{\times}30mm$ rectangular powder compacts. Single grain REBCO bulk superconductors have been grown successfully by a top seed melt growth method for 8-mm thick vertical thin REBCO slab. Asymmetric structures have been developed at the front surface and at the rear surface of the specimen. Higher magnetic properties have been obtained for the specimen that c-axis is normal to the specimen surface. The relationships between microstructure, grain growth and magnetic properties have been discussed.

실제 씨앗의 3차원 형상과 운동요소에 기반하여 단풍나무(Acer palmatum 종) 씨앗의 자동회전 비행을 수치적으로 해석하였다. 운동요소의 표준 값은 낙하속도는 1.26 m/s, 회전속도는 133.6 rad/s (1,276 rpm), 코닝 각은 $19.4^{\circ}$, 피치 각은 $-1.5^{\circ}$이다. 씨앗 날개의 스팬 안쪽에 위치한 컴팩트한 앞전 와류가 씨앗 날개 바람 반대면에 커다란 부압을 발생하게 하였다. 부압의 피크는 안쪽 스팬 단면 앞전 부근에 발생하였다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 현저한 앞전 와류로 특징되는 흐름 형태와 공기력 계수의 값은 동적 상사를 갖도록 한 로봇 씨앗에 대하여 실험적으로 측정한 자료와 잘 일치하였다. 바람 반대 영역에 발달한 나선형 와류는 씨앗 끝을 향하여 전진하고 씨앗 끝 부분에서 이곳을 지나는 흐름과 합쳐지는데, 이와 같은 흐름이 자동회전하는 단풍나무 씨앗의 안정되고 부착된 LEV를 유지하게 하는 메카니즘으로 여겨진다.

Shape control of gold nanocrystal is still one of the most important challenges remaining to achieve geometry dependent properties. Thus far, several strategies have been developed to control the shape of nanoparticles, such as adding capping agents and diverse additives or adjusting the temperature and pH. Here, we used an already established seed-mediated method that allowed us to focus on controlling the growth stage. Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and ascorbic acid (AA) were used as the ligand and the reducing agent, respectively, without using any additional additives during the growth stage. We investigated how the relative ratio of CTAB and AA concentrations could be a major determinant of nanoparticle shape over a wide concentration range of CTAB and AA. As a result, a morphology diagram was constructed experimentally that covered the growth conditions of rods, cuboctahedra, cubes, and rhombic dodecahedra. The trends in the morphology diagram emphasize the importance of the interplay between CTAB and AA. Furthermore, high-index faceted gold nanocrystal was obtained by two step seeded growth. Already synthesized cubic particles developed into hexoctahedral nanocrystal consisting of 48 identical {321} facets, which indicates that the growth of gold nanocrystal is affected by initial morphology of seed particles. The hexoctahedral gold nanoparticles can be used in catalysis and optical applications which exploiting their unique geometry. Our research can provide useful guidelines for designing various facetted geometries.

바이오매스의 급속열분해를 위하여 지난 수십 년간 다양한 형태의 반응기가 개발되었다. 급속열분해 공정의 반응기는 유동층 반응기가 많이 사용되어 왔으며, 최근에는 분사층 반응기를 이용한 바이오매스의 급속열분해 특성에 대한 연구가 다수의 연구자들에 의해 수행되고 있다. 분사층 반응기의 유동화 특성은 입자의 물리적 특성, 유체 제트의 속도, core와 annulus의 구조에 영향을 받으며, 반응기의 기하학적 구조는 분사층 내부의 core와 annulus 구조를 결정하는 주요 인자이다. 따라서 분사층 반응기의 최적설계를 위해서는 열분해 반응에 영향을 주는 인자에 대한 바이오매스의 급속열분해 특성에 대한 연구가 수행되어야 한다. 하지만 분사층 반응기의 기하학적 구조에 의한 바이오매스의 급속열분해 특성은 자세히 연구되지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 분사층 반응기의 원뿔각과 반응 온도 변화에 따른 Jatropha curcas L. seed shell cake의 급속열분해 실험을 수행하여 분사층 반응기의 최적 형상과 반응 온도를 도출하였다. 실험결과, 열분해 오일의 에너지 수율은 반응 온도 $450^{\circ}C$, 분사층 반응기의 원뿔각 $44^{\circ}$에서 63.9%로 가장 높게 나타났다. 그리고 분사층 반응기 내 고체입자의 열전달과 기체상 열분해 생성물의 체류시간은 원뿔각의 영향을 받아 열분해 생성물의 수율 및 열분해 오일의 품질에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다.

ZnO nanostructures have a lot of interest for decades due to its varied applications such as light-emitting devices, power generators, solar cells, and sensing devices etc. To get the high performance of these devices, the factors of nanostructure geometry, spacing, and alignment are important. So, Patterning of vertically- aligned ZnO nanowires are currently attractive. However, many of ZnO nanowire or nanorod fabrication methods are needs high temperature, such vapor phase transport process, metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy, thermal evaporation, pulse laser deposition and thermal chemical vapor deposition. While hydrothermal process has great advantages-low temperature (less than $100^{\circ}C$), simple steps, short time consuming, without catalyst, and relatively ease to control than as mentioned various methods. In this work, we investigate the dependence of ZnO nanowire alignment and morphology on si substrate using of nanosphere template with various precursor concentration and components via hydrothermal process. The brief experimental scheme is as follow. First synthesized ZnO seed solution was spun coated on to cleaned Si substrate, and then annealed $350^{\circ}C$ for 1h in the furnace. Second, 200nm sized close-packed nanospheres were formed on the seed layer-coated substrate by using of gas-liquid-solid interfacial self-assembly method and drying in vaccum desicator for about a day to enhance the adhesion between seed layer and nanospheres. After that, zinc oxide nanowires were synthesized using a low temperature hydrothermal method based on alkali solution. The specimens were immersed upside down in the autoclave bath to prevent some precipitates which formed and covered on the surface. The hydrothermal conditions such as growth temperature, growth time, solution concentration, and additives are variously performed to optimize the morphologies of nanowire. To characterize the crystal structure of seed layer and nanowires, morphology, and optical properties, X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Raman spectroscopy, and photoluminescence (PL) studies were investigated.

Background: The thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) and Monte Carlo (MC) dosimetry are carried out to determine the occupational dose for personnel in the handling of ¹²⁵I seed sources. Materials and Methods: TLDs were placed in different layers of the Alderson-Rando phantom in the thyroid, lung and also eyes and skin surface. An ¹²⁵I seed source was prepared and its activity was measured using a dose calibrator and was placed at two distances of 20 and 50 cm from the Alderson-Rando phantom. In addition, the Monte Carlo N-Particle Extended (MCNPX 2.6.0) code and a computational phantom with a lattice-based geometry were used for organ dose calculations. Results and Discussion: The comparison of TLD and MC results in the thyroid and lung is consistent. Although the relative difference of MC dosimetry to TLD for the eyes was between 4% and 13% and for the skin between 19% and 23%, because of the existence of a higher uncertainty regarding TLD positioning in the eye and skin, these inaccuracies can also be acceptable. The isodose distribution was calculated in the cross-section of the head phantom when the ¹²⁵I seed was at two distances of 20 and 50 cm and it showed that the greatest dose reduction was observed for the eyes, skin, thyroid, and lungs, respectively. The results of MC dosimetry indicated that for near the head positions (distance of 20 cm) the absorbed dose rates for the eye lens, eye and skin were 78.1±2.3, 59.0±1.8, and 10.7±0.7 µGy/mCi/hr, respectively. Furthermore, we found that a 30 cm displacement for the ¹²⁵I seed reduced the eye and skin doses by at least 3- and 2-fold, respectively. Conclusion: Using a computational phantom to monitor the dose to the sensitive organs (eye and skin) for personnel involved in the handling of ¹²⁵I seed sources can be an accurate and inexpensive method.

This review covers recent developments in our group regarding the synthesis, characterization and applications of single-crystalline one-dimensional nanostructures based on a wide range of material systems including noble metals, metal silicides and metal germanides. For the single-crystalline one-dimensional nanostructures growth, we have employed chemical vapor transport approach without using any catalysts, capping reagents, and templates because of its simplicity and wide applicability. Au, Pd, and Pt nanowires are epitaxially grown on various substrates, in which the nanowires grow from seed crystals by the correlations of the geometry and orientation of seed crystals with those of as-grown nanowires. We also present the synthesis of numerous metal silicide and germanide 1D nanostructures. By simply varying reaction conditions, furthermore, nanowires of metastable phase, such as $Fe_5Si_3$ and $Co_3Si$, and composition tuned cobalt silicides (CoSi, $Co_2Si$, $Co_3Si$) and iron germanides ($Fe_{1.3}Ge$ and $Fe_3Ge$) nanowires are synthesized. Such developments can be utilized as advanced platforms or building blocks for a wide range of applications such as plasmonics, sensings, nanoelectronics, and spintronics.

Object detection and parameter estimation in point cloud data is a relevant subject to robotics, reverse engineering, computer vision, and sport mechanics. In this paper a software is presented for fully-automatic object detection and parameter estimation in unordered, incomplete and error-contaminated point cloud with a large number of data points. The software consists of three algorithmic modules each for object identification, point segmentation, and model fitting. The newly developed algorithms for orthogonal distance fitting (ODF) play a fundamental role in each of the three modules. The ODF algorithms estimate the model parameters by minimizing the square sum of the shortest distances between the model feature and the measurement points. Curvature analysis of the local quadric surfaces fitted to small patches of point cloud provides the necessary seed information for automatic model selection, point segmentation, and model fitting. The performance of the software on a variety of point cloud data will be demonstrated live.

Purpose: Phytosanitary irradiation treatment can effectively control regulated pests while maintaining produce quality. The objective of this study was to establish the best irradiation treatment for mangosteen, a popular tropical fruit, using a Monte Carlo simulation. Methods: Magnetic resonance image (MRI) data were used to generate a 3-D geometry to simulate dose distributions in a mangosteen using a radiation transport code (MCNP5). Microsoft Excel with visual basic application (VBA) was used to divide the image data into seed, flesh, and rind. Radiation energies used for the simulation were 10 MeV (high-energy) and 1.35 MeV (low-energy) for the electron beam, 5 MeV for X-rays, and 1.25 MeV for gamma rays from Co-60. Results: At 5 MeV X-rays and 1.25 MeV gamma rays, all areas (seeds, flesh, and rind) were irradiated ranging from 0.3 ~ 0.7 kGy. The average doses decreased as the number of fruit increased. For a 10 MeV electron beam, the dose distribution was biased: the dose for the rind where the electrons entered was $0.45{\pm}0.03$ kGy and the other side was $0.24 {\pm}0.10$ kGy. Use of an electron kinetic energy absorber improved the dose distribution in mangosteens. For the 1.35 MeV electron beam, the dose was shown only in the rind on the irradiated side; no significant dose was found in the flesh or seeds. One rotation of the fruit while in front of the beam improved the dose distribution around the entire rind. Conclusion: These results are invaluable for determining the ideal irradiation conditions for phytosanitary irradiation treatment of tropical fruit.

오늘날 선형대수학은 이론의 기초적 성격과 응용의 풍부성으로 인해 대학수학에 있어서 필수적인 분야로서 자리하고 있다. 하지만 선형대수학의 기계적인 계산위주나 딱딱한 형식적 개념위주의 학습으로 인해 학생들은 종종 큰 벽에 부딪치게 되고 심한 경우에는 수학자체에 흥미를 잃기도 한다. 따라서 선형대수학을 성공적으로 가르치는 것은 매우 중요한 문제이다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위한 방안으로 본 논문에서는 학생의 입장에서 선형대수학에 기원적 개념의 도입을 제안한다 기원적 개념이란 역사적 순서나 이론적 체계에 있어서 실제 출발점이 되면서 선형대수학의 중요한 개념들을 이끌어낼 수 있는 씨앗역할을 하는 개념을 의미한다. 여기서는 선형대수학의 두 가지 기원적 개념을 제시한다. 하나는 평면과 공간의 기하학이며, 다른 하나는 1차(선형대수)방정식이다. 전자가 기원적 개념이 되는 것은 [2]에 의거하며 여기서는 1차 방정식이 또 다른 기원적 개념임을 보인다.
