Korea Institute of Radiological and Medical Sciences provides proton irradiation service of up to 40 MeV using cyclotron. The use of such a cyclotron was approved in advance to satisfy the Nuclear Safety Act, and radiation safety was evaluated in this process. The Monte Carlo method is generally used to evaluate the shielding safety of high-energy accelerators, and MCNP 6.2 was used in the previous evaluation. In this study, in order to verify the results of previous evaluation, the calculation results of MCNP 6.2 and Particle and Heavy Ion Transport code System (PHITS) 3.24 are compared. PHITS is a general-purpose Monte Carlo particle transport simulation code that is used in many studies in the fields of accelerator technology, radiotherapy, space radiation, etc. In the previous evaluation, the effective dose by neutrons and photons generated by the collision of 40 MeV 20 μA of protons with a 10.5 mm thick beryllium target was evaluated, and in this study, this was reproduced with PHITS. As the radiation exposure evaluation for the user or pubic is evaluated based on the radiation dose and energy distribution generated around the target, the effective dose and energy distribution received by the water phantom with a radius of 1 cm on the front, side, and back of the target were calculated. T-Track, a tally of PHITS, was used to calculate effective dose, which is similar to F4 tally of MCNP 6.2 using a dose conversion factor. For the dose conversion factor, the value suggested as AP irradiation in Publication 103 was used. As a result of the calculation, the effective dose by neutrons at the front, side and back of the target was 1.42×105, 2.09×104, and 1.39×104 mSv·h−1, respectively, which was similar to 2.00×105, 1.84×104, and 2.59×104 calculated using F4 tally in MCNP. Moreover, the results of calculating the effective dose by photons using PHITS were 4.81×10, 3.10×10, and 2.66×10, respectively, and the results of calculating MCNP were 4.49×102, 6.45×10, and 9.64×10. The average energies of neutrons were 11.2, 0.69, and 0.31 MeV when calculated by PHITS, respectively, and 13.8, 7.8, and 4.6 when calculated by MCNP. Moreover, the average energies of photons were 1.98, 0.98, and 0.86 when calculated by PHITS, respectively, and 3.9, 3.2, and 2.6 when calculated by MCNP.

Due to rapid development of infrared guided weapon, survivability of armored vehicle is severely threatened. Hence, reduction of susceptibility by lowering infrared signature level is essential to enhance survivability of the vehicle. For this purpose, numerical analysis is conducted to analyze time and spatial characteristics of infrared signature of the vehicle when surface emissivity changes in this study. The analysis shows that the emissivity which produces minimum contrast radiant intensity is significantly altered by time and detecting position. Based on the result, it is concluded that the controlled structures which have different emissivity should be adopted at different region of the vehicle to effectively decrease infrared signature level.

Ablative material in a rocket nozzle is exposed to high temperature combustion gas, thus undergoes complicated thermal/chemical change in terms of chemical destruction of surface and thermal decomposition of inner material. Therefore, method for conjugate analysis of thermal response inside carbon/phenolic material including rocket nozzle flow, surface chemical reaction and thermal decomposition is developed in this research. CFD is used to simulate flow field inside nozzle and conduction in the ablative material. A change in material density and a heat absorption caused by the thermal decomposition is considered in solid energy equation. And algebraic equation under boundary layer assumption is used to deduce reaction rate on the surface and resulting destruction of the surface. In order to test the developed method, small rocket nozzle is solved numerically. Although the ablation of nozzle throat is deduced to be higher than the experiment, shape change and temperature distribution inside material is well predicted. Error in temperature with experimental results in rapid heating region is found to be within 100 K.

A 4-month-old intact male, Siberian husky dog, weighing 14.6 kg, was initially presented to the Gyeongsang National University Animal Medical Center (GAMC) with a history of bilateral forelimb lameness and angular deformity. Physical examination revealed forelimb lameness and valgus deformities. Radiography showed a conical shaped, radiolucent, thickened and irregular marginated distal growth plate in both distal ulnar physis. Thickening of distal growth plate also was evident at both the distal radial physis, and the presence of osteophytes was observed. A diagnosis of angular deformity was made on the basis of a shortened ulna associated with osteochondrosis. Temporary hemiepiphysiodesis was implemented by surgical insertion of tension band plate. The plates were implanted for 6 weeks. Pre- and post-operative radiographs of both forelimbs were evaluated to determine the angle of frontal plane alignment (FPA) and sagittal plane alignment (SPA) over a 8-week period. FPA was corrected into the normal range in the right forelimb, and SPA was close to the reference range in the both forelimbs. Furthemore, a reduction in osteochondrosis was revealed by radiography. This case report establishes that temporary hemiepiphysiodesis with a tension band plate should be option in dogs with angular deformities during a growing period and is minimally invasive with a lower morbidity than traditional osteotomy. Moreover, this treatment facilitates the resolution of osteochondrosis lesions.

문경 지질공원 후보지의 지질명소 쌍룡계곡, 용추계곡 그리고 문경새재를 구성하고 있는 화강암류와 규 장질 관입암류의 저어콘 U-Pb 연령측정과 전암 지구화학 성분분석을 수행하였다. 이들 화성암류들은 각각 문경시 의 서부, 북서부, 중부에 분포하고 있으며, 옥천변성대의 변성암류와 문경층군의 퇴적암류를 관입하고 있다. 고분 해능 이차이온질량분석기(SHRIMP)를 사용하여 측정한 쌍룡계곡의 두 개의 규장질 반암과 한 개의 화강암 시료 의 저어콘 U-Pb 연대측정 결과는 각각 93.9±3.3 Ma (tσ), 95.1±4.0 Ma (tσ) 그리고 94.4±2.0 Ma (tσ)으로 백악 기 관입 연령을 정의한다. 용추계곡의 화강암, 규장질 암맥, 그리고 문경새재 반상 화강암에서 측정한 관입 연령은 각각 90.2±2.0 Ma (tσ), 91.0±3.0 Ma (tσ) 그리고 88.6±1.5 Ma (tσ)의 관입연령을 갖는다. 이 지역의 화강암 연대 에 대한 기존 연구결과(Lee et al., 2010; Yi et al., 2014; Aum et al., 2019)와 더불어 계산한 평균표준오차를 계 산해보면, 쌍룡계곡(94.5±0.2 Ma)과 용추계곡(89.7±0.4 Ma) 화강암들 사이에 대략 5 Myr 정도의 관입 시기의 차 이가 존재함이 나타난다. 이 두 지역 사이의 문경지역의 규장질 화성암류의 지구화학 성분분석 결과는 후조산성 화강암 특성을 나타내며, 이는 초기 백악기 조산운동 및 이자나기의 섭입 말기의 화성활동에 대비된다.

단양 국가지질공원 남쪽에 분포하는 기반암에서 저어콘 U-Pb 연령측정을 수행하였다. 연령 측정은 2개의 시료에서 실시하였으며, 이들 시료는 우흑질과 우백질이 뚜렷이 구분되는 혼성암질 편마암으로 흑운모 ±규선석±석류석+장석+석영의 광물조합을 가진다. 함규선석 및 함석류석 편마암시료에서 각각 수집한 저어콘 결정들에 대해 고분해능 이차이온질량분석기(SHRIMP)를 사용하여 U-Pb 동위원소 성분비를 측정하였으며, 이로부터 1870±10Ma (2σ)와 1863±6 Ma (2σ)의 변성 연령을 구하였다. 1.87~1.86 Ga의 변성 연령은 영남육괴 고원생대 고온-저압의 광역변성작용의 시기(1.87~1.85 Ga)와 일치한다. 저어콘 결정들의 상속핵 연령을 기반으로 두 시료에서 얻어진 최고 퇴적연령은 2.06 Ga로 혼성암질 편마암 모암의 퇴적시기는 2.06~1.87 Ga 사이일 것으로 추정된다.
