The effect of ionizing radiation on robotic trajectory movement and electronic components

Coloma Sofía,Espinosa Peralta Paul,Redondo Violeta,Moroño Alejandro,Vila Rafael,Ferre Manuel 한국원자력학회 2023 Nuclear Engineering and Technology Vol.55 No.11

Robotics applications are greatly needed in hazardous locations, e.g., fusion and fission reactors, where robots must perform delicate and complex tasks under ionizing radiation conditions. The drawback is that some robotic parts, such as active electronics, are susceptible to radiation. It can lead to unexpected failures and early termination of the robotic operation. This paper analyses the ionizing radiation effect from 0.09 to 1.5 Gy/s in robotic components (microcontrollers, servo motors and temperature sensors). The first experiment compares the performance of various microcontroller types and their actuators and sensors, where different mitigation strategies are applied, such as using Radiation-Hardened (Rad-Hard) microcontrollers or shielding. The second and third experiments analyze the performance of a 3-Degrees of Freedom (DoF) robotic arm, evaluating its components ʼ responses and trajectory. This study enhances our understanding and expands our knowledge regarding radiationʼs impact on robotic arms and components, which is useful for defining the best strategies for extending the robotsʼ operational lifespan, especially when performing maintenance or inspection tasks in radiation environments.

Aragonesismos de Uso Corriente

Moros, Fernando Miguel 조선대학교 국제문화연구원 2022 국제문화연구 Vol.15 No.1

This study focuses on the diatopic variant from the Spanish region of Aragón (Comunidad Autónoma de Aragón), also known as castellian-aragones. We will inform how this variant differs from other variants and construct a short list of Aragonesisms, including expressions, which are in common use at the present almost exclusively in this region. In the context of Teaching Spanish as FL in Korea, a proxy translation to the Korean language has also been included for each word and expression. Due to the extension constraints for this work we will be narrow down to a maximum of 50 entries, from an initial list of more than 200 Aragonesisms. We select those terms that best meet both requirements: a) the terms are in common use at the present in Aragón, b) they are mostly unknown in other regions or not included in the DRAE. With this criteria, a contrast survey is distributed to native speakers from different regions of Spain to know whether if they are used in their respective regions at the present.

Remarks on the 3DCG Visualization of Lost Buddhist Temples

MORO Shigeki 동국대학교 불교학술원 2018 International Journal of Buddhist Thought & Cultur Vol.28 No.2

Now the distribution of cultural and religious information depends on the digital environment. Three-dimensional computer graphics (3DCG) and virtual reality (VR) technologies have been applied in the field of the Digital Humanities (DH), as well as in cultural preservation, cultural heritage education, regional revitalization, tourism promotion, and so forth. This paper examines the problems of 3DCG visualization of lost Buddhist temples, focusing on historical representation and religious meaning. A 3DCG reconstruction of lost cultural heritage by an academic expert depends on their historical interpretation and imagination. Non-experts may feel that the scholarly reconstruction does not match their image. The reconstruction by the academic expert and what is desired by non-academic users, as well as academic Buddhist studies and the practical and religious studies of each Buddhist sect (shūgaku), respectively correspond to the historical past and practical past introduced by Hayden White. The former should be open to future revisions and criticisms based on different interpretations of the past, while it could encourage people to stay away from an arbitrary understanding of the past, such as historical revisionism. The digital environment has altered the relationship between people and religion. There are many religious practices, including Buddhist meditation, in VR environment. In the context of Mahāyāna Buddhism, visualization is a meditation practice and a way of communicating with the holy things, the dead, and the past. 3DCG visualization of lost Buddhist temples could be regarded as such kind of Buddhist practice, and it might contribute to supporting the activities of some Buddhists in the digital age.

Metalogic in East Asia: Discussion on the Antinomic Reason (*viruddhāvyabhicārin) in P’an piryang non

MORO Shigeki 동국대학교 불교학술원 2019 International Journal of Buddhist Thought & Cultur Vol.29 No.2

Although the tradition of the East Asian Buddhist logic is a transmission of the system of Indian logic established by Dignāga (ca. 480–540), it developed in its own way in East Asia. East Asian Buddhist logic should be reconsidered in the context of the East Asian Buddhist tradition, instead of based on Western or Indian logic-centrism. The twelfth section of P’an piryang non written by Wŏnhyo (617–686) metalogically discusses the logical problem of the antinomic reason (*viruddhāvyabhicārin), one of the fallacies of the reason of the three-part syllogism. Some textual problems remain in the section preserved in the manuscript of Otani University. Wŏnhyo seemed to have a keen interest in the antinomic reason. Although Dignāga categorizes the antinomic reason as one of the six fallacies of the inconclusive reasons, it has been questioned whether the categorization is valid by premodern Buddhist logicians and current scholars. Wŏnhyo tried to solve the problem through a kind of reductio ad absurdum method. Thus, he transformed the principle of the antinomic reason and showed the tautological redefinition, which probably is in conflict with the rule of the fallacy of both-agreement. According to these points, Wŏnhyo’s perspective of the antinomic reason seems to resemble the standpoint of Mun’gwe (fl. 7th century) more rather than that of Kuiji (632-682). These points found in the short descriptions of P’an piryang non probably express the features of Wŏnhyo’s logic and not of his logical misinterpretation. We need an even more detailed examinations of P’an piryang non from the viewpoints of textual criticism and logic.

Counterargument to the West: Buddhist Logicians’ Criticisms of Christianity and Republicanism in Meiji Japan

MORO Shigeki 동국대학교 불교학술원 2017 International Journal of Buddhist Thought & Cultur Vol.27 No.2

Although the tradition of Buddhist logic in India had been developed through the debates with non-Buddhists, that of pre-modern Japan hardly had such defining experiences. The applications of inmyō were limited to disputes between the Hossō school (the Japanese transmission of the Sinitic Yogācāra school) and another Buddhist schools. During the rapid modernization and Westernization after the Meiji restoration, however, Buddhist logicians also encountered non-Buddhist cultures, Western-style deductive and inductive logic, Christianity, democracy, and republicanism imported from Western countries. Some of them, such as Kira Kōyō, regarded inmyō as useful for democratic discussion, and promoted it among politicians and legal professionals. Their introductory books about inmyō included many sample expressions that criticized the existence of God and the authenticity of republicanism, as well as the unequal treaties forced upon Japan by Europe and America. In spite of those efforts, inmyō did not become popular in modern Japan. In addition, it also lost scholarly interest in the twentieth century because of the introduction of scriptures associated with Indian logic in Sanskrit and Tibetan. Nevertheless, inmyō studies in the Meiji period should not be ignored because they were regarded as one of the intellectual refutations of the West in East Asia, as well as forgotten previous researches of the Buddhist logic.

Vida y obra de Jose Antonio Labordeta en el contexto de la guerra civil espanola: En el remolino

( Fernando Moros ) 한국스페인어문학회(구 한국서어서문학회) 2017 스페인어문학 Vol.0 No.84

La guerra civil espanola(1936-1939) fue un desastre de proporciones inimaginables para el pais y los anos de la posguerra y de la represion franquista fueron tambien sangrientos y no menos dificiles. El impacto social, economico y politico continua presente hasta nuestros dias, reavivando el debate de la necesidad de recuperar la Memoria Historica. En este contexto, el articulo tiene un doble objetivo: primero, ser un reconocimiento a Jose Antonio Labordeta, escritor de la posguerra muy poco conocido, no solo fuera de Espana, sino incluso mas alla de su tierra, Aragon; el segundo objetivo es analizar su novela mas representativa de la guerra civil, En el remolino. En particular, nos interesa descubrir el origen de la violencia representada en su historia, reflejo de situaciones como las que se vivieron en aquellos dias que precedieron al conflicto belico y extraer lo que pensamos es el principal mensaje de la obra de Labordeta para las generaciones venideras. Este trabajo incluye tambien un breve repaso de su vida e ideologia politica, necesario para entender como estas han influido en su literatura.

Evolution of Health-Related Quality of Life in Breast Cancer Patients during the First Year of Follow-Up

David Moro-Valdezate,Salvador Peiró,Elvira Buch-Villa,Antonio Caballero-Gárate,M. Dolores Morales-Monsalve,Ángel Martínez-Agulló,Félix Checa-Ayet,Joaquín Ortega-Serrano 한국유방암학회 2013 Journal of breast cancer Vol.16 No.1

Purpose: The objective of this study was to describe the evolution of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in a cohort of breast cancer patients over 1 year after surgery and to analyse the predictive ability of HRQOL measurement instruments. Methods: Observational, multicenter and prospective study of a cohort of breast cancer patients, assessing HRQOL at 1, 6, and 12 months after surgery using three questionnaires: EuroQol-5D-3L, EORTC QLQ-C30, and EORTC QLQ-BR23. Results: A total of 364 women participated in the study. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores from the EuroQol improved (1 month vs. 1 year: 70 vs. 80; p<0.0001); however, the EuroQol score showed no significant change (0.81 vs. 0.83; p=0.1323). In contrast, Global Health Status on the EORTC QLQ-C30 improved (66.67 vs. 100.00; p<0.0001), as did all of this instrument´s scales and most of its independent items. The EORTC QLQ-BR23 dimensions showed improvement, except for sexual functioning (100.00 vs. 86.67; p=0.0030) and future perspective (33.33 vs. 66.67; p<0.0001). Patients with good HRQOL outcomes at 1 month showed improved levels of HRQOL at 1 year; HRQOL measured at 1 month was predictive of HRQOL at 1 year. Conclusion: HRQOL improved during the follow-up period. Likewise, HRQOL measurement instruments can predict early HRQOL.
