酸化物燃料の温度解析において重要な役割を持つ比熱は、特に高温領域において文献間でばらつきが大きい。さらに、UOのデータと比べてPuOやMOXのデータは報告例が少ないため、比熱においてPu含有率の依存性の評価が困難である。本研究では、UO、PuO、MOX (Pu=0.18, 0.45)を対象に、ドロップカロリメータを用いて最高2200Kのエンタルピーのデータを取得した。取得したエンタルピーの温度依存性を評価することで比熱を算出した。エンタルピー、比熱ともに、2000Kまでは温度とともにほぼ線形に上昇し、2000Kを超えると急激に上昇する結果が得られた。2000K以下のデータは文献値とよく一致し、2000K以上のデータは文献値と大きく異なる結果となった。この結果について、酸素及び電子正孔対の欠陥の観点で考察を行った。

At the Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba (HIMAC), a series of retrospective studies are ongoing in patients treated with carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) to obtain the knowledge to improve tumor control and reveal the mechanism of the low risk of secondary cancer after CIRT. Dose-averaged linear energy transfer (LET
) is generally used as a measure of treatment effectiveness or biological effects in such retrospective studies; however, it is conventionally evaluated from the relative biological effectiveness (RBE)-LET fitted function used in the treatment planning system. In this study, we calculated the physical doses and their linear energy transfer (LET) distributions for a series of treatment plans for a homogeneous rectangular phantom and a human body phantom with typical CIRT beams using Monte Carlo (MC) simulation. The LET was then deduced from the MC simulation and compared with the corresponding data obtained using the conventional method. The comparison suggested that the two types of LET agreed well with each other, except around the distal end of the spread-out Bragg peak, where the MC simulation yielded significantly higher LET values than that of the conventional method. This is because the RBE-LET fitted function adopted in the conventional method ignores the contribution of the high-LET components, causing an overkill effect. Furthermore, an MC simulation was conducted to determine the material composition of water and realistic materials from the CT number in the planned image. The profiles of physical dose and LET were in good agreement for both techniques. These results indicate the possibility of enhancing the efficiency of retrospective studies of CIRT using MC simulations in the future.

This paper describes a three-dimensional (3D) modeling method for sequentially and spatially understanding situations in unknown environments from an image sequence acquired from a camera. The proposed method chronologically divides the image sequence into sub-image sequences by the number of images, generates local 3D models from the sub-image sequences by the Structure from Motion and Multi-View Stereo (SfM-MVS), and integrates the models. Images in each sub-image sequence partially overlap with previous and subsequent sub-image sequences. The local 3D models are integrated into a 3D model using transformation parameters computed from a camera trajectory estimated by the SfM-MVS. In our experiment, we quantitatively compared the quality of integrated models with a 3D model generated from all images in a batch and the computational time to obtain these models using three real data sets acquired from a camera. Consequently, the proposed method can generate a quality integrated model that is compared with a 3D model using all images in a batch by the SfM-MVS and reduce the computational time.

During the decommissioning activities, a movie was shot inside the reactor building during the investigation of the primary containment vessel by applying photogrammetry, which is one of the methods for three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction from images, to the images from this movie, it is feasible to perform 3D reconstruction of the environment around the primary containment vessel. However, the images from this movie may not be suitable for 3D reconstruction because they were shot remotely by robots owing to limited illumination, high-dose environments, etc. Moreover, photogrammetry has the disadvantage of easily changing 3D reconstruction results by simply changing the shooting conditions. Therefore, this study investigated the accuracy of the 3D reconstruction results obtained by photogrammetry with changes in the camera angle of view under shooting conditions. In particular, we adopted 3D computer graphics software to simulate shooting target objects for 3D reconstruction in a dark environment while illuminating them with light for application in decommissioning activities. The experimental results obtained by applying artificial images generated by simulation to the photogrammetry method showed that more accurate 3D reconstruction results can be obtained when the camera angle of view is neither too wide nor too narrow when the target objects are shot and surrounded. However, the results showed that the accuracy of the obtained results is low during linear trajectory shooting when the camera angle of view is wide.

This study proposes a partial-to-partial point cloud registration method based on estimated parameters in photogrammetry and QR code. Some research and development on Generating a 3D map of the workspace by photogrammetric methods have been proposed for the decommissioning work at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Photogrammetry is a method for 3D reconstruction of the location and shape of target objects from many images, and the processing time depends on the number of images. Considering the reconstruction of a large area, the number of images increases, and processing time also increases significantly. To reduce such computational time, this study considers applying SfM-MVS (Structure from Motion and Multi-View Stereo), which is one of the photogrammetry methods, to each segmented image group, aligning each obtained result, integrating them, and creating a model of the entire space. This alignment is called partial-to-partial registration and it is difficult to find the correspondence points for registration. Therefore, we place markers such as QR codes in the target reconstruction space to make it easy to find the correspondence points. We adopt the QR code as a 2D code because it is easy to reconstruct by photogrammetry. In this paper, we discuss the validity of this approach by comparing it with the integrated model using all images applying SfM-MVS. We verify the validation of the proposed method by simulation due to the large number of images and the ease of modifying the environment. The experiment about varying the number of image divisions shows that the reconstruction result from all images is more accurate than the integrated result. However, all of these models have high reconstruction accuracy. Moreover, the accuracy of the integrated model does not depend on the number of divisions.

This paper describes an automatic system that performs three-dimensional (3D) modeling from image sequences acquired from a camera during a survey to understand the state of the environment sequentially. The developed system sequentially generates local 3D models from image sequences acquired from a camera by the Structure from Motion and Multi-View Stereo (SfM-MVS) and integrates the models. This system, consisting of a camera, a computer, and storage, handles streaming, image acquisition, 3D modeling, and integration processes. The system is designed to perform each process in parallel while performing image acquisition. Local 3D models are integrated based on the similarity of camera trajectories, which correspond to overlapped images in each sequence, estimated from SfM. Our experiments verified the operation of the developed system from the image acquisition to the integration of local 3D models in two cases. Consequently, we confirmed that an integrated model could be generated by automatically executing each process in the system through experiments.

被引用回数：3 パーセンタイル：84.16(Engineering, Multidisciplinary)Recently, consistent meshfree particle methods have been intensively studied. It has been pointed out that numerical inaccuracy or instability could easily occur with incomplete or biased neighbor support. This study proposes a new meshfree particle method called the compact moving particle semi-implicit (CMPS) method to decrease the condition number. In the proposed CMPS, the first-order and second-order derivatives are discretized separately, enhancing the numerical stability significantly. By adopting a small dilation parameter of the compact support, the CMPS can remarkably improve accuracy and reduce computational costs. Formulations for zeroth-order, first-order, and second-order derivatives are derived, and various boundary conditions, e.g., Dirichlet and Neumann, are discussed. In order to better deal with complex free-surface flows using the CMPS, some new numerical techniques, i.e., optimized regularization and reconstructed particle shifting schemes, are also developed. Furthermore, the surface fitting method is extended to address the surface tension. A convergence study is conducted in complex geometry to verify the stability, accuracy, and efficiency of the CMPS. Then, second-order accuracy is confirmed using the Taylor-Green vortex problem. After that, numerical examples concerning various free-surface flows, including square patch, hydrostatic pressure, dam break, droplet oscillation, and droplet coalescence, are calculated to demonstrate the potential of the CMPS.

This paper describes a method that integrates Three-Dimensional (3D) environment models reconstructed from image sequences to reduce the computation time of 3D environment modeling that estimates camera poses and simultaneously reconstructs a 3D environment model from images based on photogrammetry. However, 3D environment modeling is time-consuming when using many images because it finds correspondence points between them by feature matching. Therefore, we assume that the computation time is reduced by reconstructing 3D environment models from image sequences divided from an image sequence because the number of images used in 3D environment modeling becomes less. However, it is difficult to integrate the 3D environment models because the scale between them may not be the same, and overlapping regions between 3D environment models are small for integrating the models. In this paper, we propose a method that integrates 3D environment models based on camera trajectories corresponding to overlapped images between image sequences used in 3D environment modeling. To integrate them, transformation parameters are calculated from poses of camera trajectories between 3D environment models. After that, the transformed camera trajectory is aligned using coarse and fine registration. Consequently, compared with 3D environment modeling that processes an image sequence in batch, the proposed method could reduce the computation time and reconstruct a comparable integrated model.

The genome DNA integrity of PSCs is maintained by a high level of transcription for a number of genes involved in DNA repair, cell cycle and apoptosis. However, it remains unclear how high the frequency of genetic mutation is and how these DNA repair factors function in PSCs. In this study, we employed Sup F assay for the measurement of mutation frequency after UV-C irradiation in induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) as PSC models and neural progenitor cells (NPCs) were derived from iPSCs as differentiated cells. iPSCs and NPCs exhibited a lower mutation frequency compared with the original skin fibroblasts. In RNA-seq analysis, iPSCs and NPCs showed a high expression of RAD18, which is involved in trans-lesion synthesis (TLS) for the emergency tolerance system during the replication process of DNA. Although RAD18 is involved in both error free and error prone TLS in somatic cells, it still remains unknown the function of RAD18 in PSCs. In this study we depleted of the RAD18 by siRNA knockdown resulted in decreased frequency of mutation in iPSCs and NPCs. Our results will provide information on the genome maintenance machinery in PSCs.

This paper reports on an automatic process for 3D environmental modeling from acquired image sequences. We have studied methods of 3D environment modeling to understand unknown environments. However, 3D environment modeling using acquired image sequences is a time-consuming task. When 3D environment modeling is performed using image sequences acquired in an unknown environment, the generated models do not always produce the expected result. Therefore, we consider that the quality of the generated 3D environment models could be quickly verified by realizing the sequential presentation of the generated models. To verify the effectiveness of the automatic process, we implemented it under different execution environments. Consequently, the automatic process could generate a 3D environment model from acquired image sequences.

It is generally difficult to measure complex shapes such as stairs with high accuracy for indoor environment scanning by the robot. Therefore, we consider the 3D (three-dimensional) reconstruction of stairs using SfM (Structure from Motion) and MVS (Multi-View Stereo) which perform 3D reconstruction from images acquired by the robot vision. In this study, we verify whether it is possible to acquire a 3D reconstruction result of stairs by using images shot while ascending and descending the stairs as input to the reconstruction method. To calculate the accuracy of the reconstruction result, we use 3D computer graphics software to generate artificial image data to be applied to the 3D reconstruction. Experimental results show that 3D reconstruction results of the stairs are more accurate by applying both images shot when ascending and descending stairs to the 3D reconstruction methods.
