Background and objective: The mental health and wellness of university students has been a pressing concern in recentyears in the US and is becoming an even larger issue due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Numerous studies have supportedthe idea that the natural environment can have a positive impact on mental health, but only a few studies focus on the roleof university outdoor campus environments on student's mental health. The main purpose of this study is to investigatethe correlations between university student mental health and their campus's outdoor environment. Methods: An online survey was designed and distributed to students at Michigan State University, USA. Students wereasked questions about their overall mental well-being, as well as questions about their environmental perceptions, outdooractivity, views to nature through windows and safety concerns regarding their outdoor campus environment. Results: The major findings indicate a significant difference in mental health scores for windows in living quarters, wherestudents with living quarter windows had better mental health scores (MHS) than students without living quarter windows. This study also found a marginally significant difference in MHS for students with classroom windows. Other results of thisstudy include a significant difference in MHS for students' perception of safety on campus, outdoor work time, andperception of greenspace on campus. Conclusion: Future campus planner, landscape architects, university planners, and student counselors will use this studyto determine what kinds of outdoor spaces should be created and used to improve the well-being of students.

Measuring hull girder deformations on a 9300 TEU containership

Koning, Jos,Schiere, Marcus The Society of Naval Architects of Korea 2014 International Journal of Naval Architecture and Oc Vol.6 No.4

A 9300 TEU container carrier was equipped in 2006 with instrumentation aimed at wave induced accelerations, and motions. In 2010 the system was extended with strain sensors to include structural loads. Section loads for vertical bending could be readily obtained but the originally intended derivation of horizontal bending and torsion from the measured strains was found to be unreliable. This paper addresses an alternative approach that was adopted in the post processing of results. In particular the concept to use acceleration sensors to capture global hull deformations along the length of the hull, and the use of a data fusion procedure to obtain section loads from combined sensor data and finite element calculations. The approach is illustrated by comparison of actually measured accelerations and local strains with values obtained from the data fusion model. It is concluded that the approach is promising but in need of further validation and development. In particular the number and shapes of the modes used may not have been sufficient to represent the true deflection and thus strain distributions along the high loaded areas.

How to Define the Concept of Life as a Universal Value : Life in Lonergan’s Scale of Values

Fr Robin Koning SJ. 서강대학교 생명문화연구소 2012 생명연구 Vol.26 No.-

Bernard Lonergan proposes an integral hierarchical scale of values - vital, social, cultural, personal and religious values. Robert Doran, in developing Lonergan’s work in this area, has highlighted the pivotal role of the cultural level of the scale, mediating as it does between the personal and religious levels, on the one hand, and the vital and social levels on the other. This paper will outline Lonergan and Doran’s work on the scale of values and the role of culture within it. It will then apply this work by examining how the value of life may be understood at each level of the scale of values. In this way it will seek both to offer theoretical support for the conference’s focus on cultural issues in relation to life, and to make a direct contribution to the discussion of those issues.

Modern Nuclear Data Evaluation: Straight from Nuclear Physics to Applications

A. J. Koning,D. Rochman 한국물리학회 2011 THE JOURNAL OF THE KOREAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY Vol.59 No.23

The nuclear data field comprises differential measurements, theory development, nuclear model codes, resonance analysis, evaluation, ENDF formatting, data processing and integral validation.A software system, built around the TALYS code, will be presented in which all of these essential nuclear data components are seamlessly integrated into one approach. This system brings back nuclear data evaluation to its essence: The starting information is no longer an ENDF-6 file, but a set of selected differential experiments, resonance parameters and a nuclear model input file.After this, computer power does the rest.The implications of this are unprecedented. A few are:\begin{itemize}\item Complete ENDF-6 nuclear data libraries, such as TENDL, including covariance matrices, for many isotopes, particles, energies, reaction channels and secondary quantities. All isotopic data files are mutually consistent and will soon rival those of the major world libraries.\item Exact uncertainty propagation from basic nuclear physics to applied (reactor) calculations based on a Monte Carlo approach (``Total'' Monte Carlo).\end{itemize}

The status of the Joint Evaluated Fission and Fusion file (JEFF) is described. Recently, the JEFF-3.1.1 nuclear data library was released and shortly after adopted by the French nuclear power industry for inclusion in their production and analysis codes. Recent updates include actinide evaluations, materials evaluations that have emerged from various European nuclear data projects, the activation library, the decay data and fission yield sub-libraries, and fusion-related data files from the European F4E project. The revisions were motivated by the availability of new measurements, modelling capabilities and trends from integral experiments. Validations have been performed, mainly for criticality, reactivity temperature coefficients, fuel inventory, decay heat and shielding of thermal and fast systems. The next release of the library, JEFF-3.2, will be discussed. This will contain among others a significant increase of covariance data evaluations, modern evaluations for various structural materials, a larger emphasis on minor actinides and addition of high-quality gamma production data for many fission products.

버나드 로너간은 완전한 위계를 이루는 가치척도를 제안하는데, 그것은 생명유지에 필수적 가치와, 문화적 가치, 인격적 가치, 그리고 종교적 가치 등으로 구성되어 있다. 로버트 도란은 로너간이 이 영역에서 이룬 이론을 발전시키면서 그 척도의 문화적 레벨이 수행하는 역할의 중요성을 강조하는데, 그 역할이란 한편으로는 인격적 레벨과 종교적 레벨을 잇는 것이고, 또 한편으로는 생명유지의 레벨과 사회적 레벨을 잇는 것이다. 이 논문에서는 가치척도와 그 척도 안에서 문화가 수행하는 역할에 대한 로너간과 도란 이론의 개요를 제공할 것이다. 그러고 나면 어떻게 생명의 가치가 가치척도의 각 레벨에서 이해되는지를 검토하기 위하여 그들의 이론을 적용할 것이다. 이런 식으로 이 논문은 생명과 관련한 문화적 문제들에 초점을 맞출 것을 이론적으로 지지할 것이며, 또한 그 문제들에 대해 직접적으로 기여하고자 한다.

Towards Nuclear Data Evaluations Based on Many Body Theory

S. Hilaire,A. J. Koning,S. Goriely 한국물리학회 2011 THE JOURNAL OF THE KOREAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY Vol.59 No.23

The increasing need for cross sections far from the valley of stability poses a challenge for nuclear reaction models. So far, predictions of cross sections have relied on more or less phenomenological approaches, depending on parameters adjusted to available experimental data or deduced from systematic relations. While such predictions are expected to be reliable for nuclei not too far from the experimentally known regions, it is clearly preferable to use more fundamental approaches, based on sound physical bases, when dealing with very exotic nuclei. Thanks to the high computer power available today, all the ingredients required to model a nuclear reaction can now be (and have been) microscopically (or semi-microscopically) determined starting from the information provided by a nucleon-nucleon effective interaction. This concerns the nuclear masses, the optical model potential, the total nuclear level densities, the photon strength functions, as well as the fission barriers. All these nuclear model ingredients, traditionnaly given by phenomenological expressions, now have a microscopic counterpart implemented in the TALYS nuclear reaction code. We are thus now able to perform fully microscopic cross section calculations. We will discuss both the quality of these ingredients and the impact of using them instead of the usually adopted phenomenological parameters.

Nuclear Data Uncertainty Propagation: Total Monte Carlo vs. Covariances

D. Rochman,A. J. Koning,S. C. van der Marck,A. Hogenbirk,D. van Veen 한국물리학회 2011 THE JOURNAL OF THE KOREAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY Vol.59 No.23

Two distinct methods of propagation for basic nuclear data uncertainties to large scale systems will be presented and compared. The "Total Monte Carlo" method is using a statistical ensemble of nuclear data libraries randomly generated by means of a Monte Carlo approach with the TALYS system. These libraries are then directly used in a large number of reactor calculations (for instance with MCNP) after which the exact probability distribution for the reactor parameter is obtained. The second method makes use of available covariance files and can be done in a single reactor calculation (by using the perturbation method). In this exercise, both methods are using consistent sets of data files, which implies that covariance files used in the second method are directly obtained from the randomly generated nuclear data libraries from the first method. This is a unique and straightforward comparison allowing to directly apprehend advantages and drawbacks of each method. Comparisons for different reactions and criticality-safety benchmarks from ^(19)F to actinides will be presented. We can thus conclude whether current methods for using covariance data are good enough or not.
