This study presents a rapid and simple ${\alpha}$ source preparation method for a radioactive waste sample. The recovery of $^{239}Pu$, $^{232}U$ and $^{243}Am$ using a micro-coprecipitation method was over 95%. The ${\alpha}$-peak resolution of Pu and Am isotopes through the micro-coprecipitation method is enough to discriminate the Pu and Am isotopes from other Pu and Am isotopes. The determination of the Pu and Am isotopes using the micro-coprecipitation method was applied to the radioactive waste sample, so that the activity concentrations of the Pu and Am isotopes using the micro-coprecipitation method in the radioactive waste sample were similar to those using the electrodeposition method.

Decoding algorithm of noncyclic Reed-Solomon codes consists of four steps which are to compute syndromes, to find error-location polynomial, to decide error-location, and to solve error-values. There is a decoding method by which the computation of both error-location polynomial and error-evaluator polynimial can be avoided in conventional decoding methods using Euclid algorithm. The disadvantage of this method is that the same amount of computation is needed that is equivalent to solve the avoided polynomial. This paper considers the division method on polynomial on GF(2$^{m}$) systematically. And proposes a novel method to find error correcting polynomial by simple mathematical expression without the same amount of computation to find the two avoided polynomial. Especially. proposes the method which the amount of computation to find F (x) from the division M(x) by x, (x-1),....(x--${\alpha}^{n-2}$) respectively can be avoided. By applying the simple expression to decoding procedure on RS codes, propses a new decoding algorithm, and to show the validity of presented method, computer simulation is performed.

The flood impact pressure acting on a vertical wall resulting from a dam-breaking problem is simulated using a navier-Stokes(N-S) solver. The N-S solver uses Eulerian Finite Volume Method(FVM) along with Volume Of Fluid(VOF) method for 2-D incompressible free surface flows. A Split Lagrangian Advection(SLA) scheme for VOF method is implemented in this paper. The SLA scheme is developed based on an algorithm of Piecewise Linear Interface Calculation(PLIC). The coupling between the continuity and momentum equations is affected by using a well-known Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure-Linked Equations (SIMPLE) algorithm. Several two-dimensional numerical simulations of the dam-breaking problem are presented to validate the accuracy and demonstrate the capability of the present algorithm. The significance of the time step and grid resolution are also discussed. The computational results are compared with experimental data and with computations by other numerical methods. The results showed a favorable agreement of water impact pressure as well as the global fluid motion.

Purpose: In order to upgrade the energy performance of existing building, energy audit stage should be implemented first because it is useful method to find where the problems occur and know how much time and cost consumption for retrofit. In overseas researches, three levels of audit is proposed whereas there are no standards for audit in Korea. Besides, most studies use dynamic simulation in detail like audit level 3 even though the level 2 can save time and cost than level 3. Thus, this paper focused on audit level 2 and proposed the audit method with the simple linear regression analysis model. Method: Two parameters were considered for the simple regression analysis, which were the monthly electric use and the mean outdoor temperature data. The former is a dependent variable and the latter is a independent variable, and the building's energy performance profile was estimated from the regression analysis method. In this analysis, we found the abnormal point in cooling season and the more detailed analysis were conducted about the three heat source equipments. Result: Comparing with real and predicted models, the total consumption of predicted model was higher than real value as 23,608 kWh but it was the results that was reflected the compulsory control in 2013. Consequently, it was analyzed that the revised model could save the cooling energy as well as reduce peak electric use than before.

One of the most serious problems in Korean sericulture farms is to improve the adiabatic conditions for the simple silkworm rearing houses which has been widely adapted since early 1980'. Thus, this study is aimed to solve the problems by selecting the thermal screen material and by finding the method of its instalation. For the study, 4 kinds of materials which are (1) TE005,(2) NW60, (3) NW300 and (4) AL110 are selected and 4 different types of methods which are surrounding boundary of rearing bed(type A), surrounding inside of wall and ceiling (type B), installing on inside of wal ony (type C) and installing on ceiling Inly (type D) are installed. Decision criteria of the best combination of screen material and installation methods is made by calculating the heating load coefficients and by testing the application at the simple silkworm rearing houses. The obtained results are summarized as follows ; 1. The effect of thermal screen on reducing the thermal energy is remarkable. It saves energy more 50% than unscreened simple silkworm rearing houses. 2. From a stand point of a good screed material on thermal energy reduction, the NW300, AL110 and PE005 are recommanded materials. However, NW60 and PE005 are regarded as desirable materials from the practical point view. 3. Also, the effect on thermal energy reduction is largely affected by the method of thermal screen installation. The surrounding boundary of the silkworm rearing bed(type A) is the most desirable method to reduce the energy, which saves 56.6% of it. 4. In the practical application, NW60 and type A is considered to be the best combination of material and installation method. By this combination, the level of maximum heating load can be reduced at the rate of 43% for spring season and 40% for autumn season. 5. Another heating method, comparted heating, can be recommended to save the energy.

A summary of the various techniques available to calculate negative skin frictions on piles is presented. In light of all these existing techniques, a simple method is recommended to calculate the negative friction based on strength of pile material, bearing capacity and pile settlement. An example is worked out and the results of a numerical analysis are highlighted.

The differential equations governing both the free vibrations and buckling loads of the beam-columns with constant volumes are derived and solved numerically. The axial load effects are included in the differential equations. The Runge-Kutta method and Regula-Falsi method are used to compute the eigenvalues corresponding to the natural frequencies. and buckling loads. In numerical examples, the simple end constraint is considered.

A simple nonparametric test of complete or total independence is suggested for continuous multivariate distributions. This procedure first discretizes the original variables based on their order statistics, and then tests the hypothesis of complete independence for the resulting contingency table. Under the hypothesis of independence, the chi-squared test statistic has an asymptotic chi-squared distribution. We present a simulation study to illustrate the accuracy in finite samples of the limiting distribution of the test statistic. We compare our method to another nonparametric test of complete independence via a simulation study. Finally, we apply our method to the residuals from a real data set.

Distribution-free estimation methods are proposed for slope, $\beta$ in the simple linear regression model. In this paper, we suggest the point estimators using the sequential slope based on sign test and Wilcoxon signed rank test. Also confidence intervals are presented for each estimation methods. Monte Carlo simulation study is carried out to compare the efficiency of these methods with least square method and Theil´s method. Some properties for the proposed methods are discussed.
