Abstract:
ABSTRACT The transcription factor family of nuclear factor I (NFI) proteins is encoded by four closely related genes: Nfia, Nfib, Nfic, and Nfix. A potential role for NFI proteins in regulating developmental processes has been implicated by their specific expression pattern during embryonic development and by analysis of NFI-deficient mice. It was shown that loss of NFIA results in hydrocephalus and agenesis of the corpus callosum and that NFIB deficiency leads to neurological defects and to severe lung hypoplasia, whereas Nfic knockout mice exhibit specific tooth defects. Here we report the knockout analysis of the fourth and last member of this gene family, Nfix. Loss of NFIX is postnatally lethal and leads to hydrocephalus and to a partial agenesis of the corpus callosum. Furthermore, NFIX-deficient mice develop a deformation of the spine, which is due to a delay in ossification of vertebral bodies and a progressive degeneration of intervertebral disks. Impaired endochondral ossification and decreased mineralization were also observed in femoral sections of Nfix − / − mice. Consistent with the defects in bone ossification we could show that the expression level of tetranectin, a plasminogen-binding protein involved in mineralization, is specifically downregulated in bones of NFIX-deficient mice.

Abstract:
Background The nuclear factor I (NFI) is a family of transcription factors consisting of four distinct but closely related genes, NFIA, NFIB, NFIC and NFIX, which are important in the development of various tissues and organs in mammals. Recent study results have shown that NFI family may play a critical role in the progression of various human tumors and have been identified as key tumor suppressors and oncogenes for many cancers. However, the expression levels and distinctive prognostic values of the NFI family remain poorly explored in most cancers. Materials and Methods In the present study, the differences in mRNA expression of the NFI family in various cancers were investigated using the Oncomine and TCGA databases, and the mRNA expression, genetic alteration and DNA methylation of the NFI family members in various cancers were examined using cBioPortal for Cancer Genomics. In addition, the prognostic significance of the NFI family was assessed in multiple cancers using the Kaplan–Meier plotter (KM plotter) and SurvExpress databases. Results The mRNA expression levels in the NFI family were significantly downregulated in most cancers compared with normal tissues and DNA hypermethylation might downregulate the NFI family expression. Although NFIX expression was not downregulated in kidney, colorectal and prostate cancers. Furthermore, NFIB expression was upregulated in gastric cancer. Further survival analyses based on the KM plotter and SurvExpress databases showed dysregulations of the NFI genes were significantly correlated with survival outcomes in breast, lung, and head and neck cancers. Decreased expression levels of NFIA, NFIB and NFIC were associated with poor overall survival (OS) in head and neck cancer. Low mRNA expression of NFIA and NFIB was significantly associated with OS and first progression in lung adenocarcinoma, but not in lung squamous cell carcinoma. In addition, potential correlations between NFI family members and survival outcomes were also observed in liver, esophageal, kidney and cervical cancer. Conclusion The results from the present study indicated certain members of the NFI family could be promising therapeutic targets and novel prognostic biomarkers for human cancers.

Abstract:
Sickle cell disease and some forms of b-thalassemia are disorders, which can be improved by therapies that elevate HbF, the fetal form of hemoglobin. It is currently thought that in adult type erythroid cells, silencing of the fetal type b-globin-like genes HBG1 and HBG2 is accomplished predominantly by two major transcription factors: BCL11A and ZBTB7A. However, it is unknown whether there are additional transcription factors that contribute to the repression of the HBG1/2 genes. Here, using a DNA-binding domain focused CRISPR-Cas9 screening approach, we identified NFIA as a novel regulator of HbF expression. NFIA belongs to the NFI transcription factor family, which is composed of NFIA, NFIB, NFIC and NFIX. NFIA and NFIX are the predominantly expressed forms in human erythroid cells, and their expression is higher in adult erythroblast cells when compared to fetal erythroid cells. CRISPR-Cas9 mediated disruption of NFIA in an immortalized human umbilical cord blood-derived erythroid progenitor cell line 2 (HUDEP2) or CD34+ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell-derived primary erythroblast cells led to a modest reactivation of HBG1/2 mRNA expression, whereas disruption of NFIX had little effect. However, combined NFIA and NFIX disruption produced a substantial increase in HBG1/2 expression, suggesting that these factors function in a partially redundant manner. ChIP-seq and RNA-seq studies showed that NFIA and NFIX have comparable chromatin binding and activity profiles in human erythroid cells. ChIP-seq failed to detect NFI protein occupancy at or near the HBG1/2 genes. However, given the known difficulty in detecting repressor molecules by ChIP at the silent HBG1/2 genes [Martyn et al., Nature Genetics 2018; Liu et al., Cell 2018], we tested a direct involvement of NFI proteins by disrupting putative NFI binding sites near the HBG1/2 genes. Perturbation of one such NFI motif residing upstream of the transcription start site in the HBG1/2 promoters both in HUDEP2 and primary human erythroid cells markedly increased HBG1/2 mRNA levels, comparable to those achieved by combined disruption of NFIA and NFIX. Mutation of another putative NFI motif within intron1 in the HBG1/2 gene also significantly raised HbF levels. While these results implicate NFI proteins in the direct silencing of the HBG1/2 genes, the identity of the bound factors at the NFI motifs remains to be established. Studies are currently ongoing that use alternative approaches such as Cleavage Under Target & Release Using Nuclease (CUT & RUN) to map the chromatin occupancy of NFI factors at the HBG1/2 genomic region. We will also discuss results from ongoing studies of NFI factors in NBSGW mice models. In sum, we uncovered NFI transcription factors as a novel HbF regulator suggesting that the silencing of HbF involves a transcription factor network that is more complex than previously appreciated.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT The mammalian tooth forms by a series of reciprocal epithelial-mesenchymal interactions. Although several signaling pathways and transcription factors have been implicated in regulating molar crown development, relatively little is known about the regulation of root development. Four genes encoding nuclear factor I (NFI) transcription-replication proteins are present in the mouse genome: Nfia, Nfib, Nfic, and Nfix. In order to elucidate its physiological role(s), we disrupted the Nfic gene in mice. Heterozygous animals appear normal, whereas Nfic−/− mice have unique tooth pathologies: molars lacking roots, thin and brittle mandibular incisors, and weakened abnormal maxillary incisors. Feeding in Nfic−/− mice is impaired, resulting in severe runting and premature death of mice reared on standard laboratory chow. However, a soft-dough diet mitigates the feeding impairment and maintains viability. Although Nfic is expressed in many organ systems, including the developing tooth, the tooth root development defects were the prominent phenotype. Indeed, molar crown development is normal, and well-nourished Nfic−/− animals are fertile and can live as long as their wild-type littermates. The Nfic mutation is the first mutation described that affects primarily tooth root formation and should greatly aid our understanding of postnatal tooth development.

Abstract:
Abstract Fingerprint quality assessments are generally used to evaluate the quality of images obtained from fingerprint sensors, and effective fingerprint quality assessment methods are crucial to establishing high-performance biometric identification systems. The use of fingerprint quality assessments helps improve the accuracy of fingerprint registration and user satisfaction. NIST Fingerprint Image Quality (NFIQ) is a popular fingerprint quality assessment algorithm; however, it is unable to provide high-quality assessments for some partial fingerprint images obtained from mobile device sensors. In this study, a hybrid fingerprint assessment framework that integrated texture and geometric features was examined. The final quality assessment values obtained by the framework were higher than those obtained using NFIQ, effectively elevating the performance of existing NFIQ algorithms and expanding its scope of application for different fingerprint images.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT The phylogenetically conserved nuclear factor I (NFI) gene family encodes site-specific transcription factors essential for the development of a number of organ systems. We showed previously that Nfia-deficient mice exhibit agenesis of the corpus callosum and other forebrain defects, whereas Nfic-deficient mice have agenesis of molar tooth roots and severe incisor defects. Here we show that Nfib-deficient mice possess unique defects in lung maturation and exhibit callosal agenesis and forebrain defects that are similar to, but more severe than, those seen in Nfia-deficient animals. In addition, loss of Nfib results in defects in basilar pons formation and hippocampus development that are not seen in Nfia-deficient mice. Heterozygous Nfib-deficient animals also exhibit callosal agenesis and delayed lung maturation, indicating haploinsufficiency at the Nfib locus. The similarity in brain defects in Nfia- and Nfib-deficient animals suggests that these two genes may cooperate in late fetal forebrain development, while Nfib is essential for late fetal lung maturation and development of the pons.

Abstract:
Malignant gliomas (MG) are highly infiltrative tumours with a poor prognosis. Nuclear factor I (NFI) is a family of 4 transcription factors (NFIA, B, C and X) implicated in the regulation of genes involved in MG cell migration and infiltration, particularly the neural stem cell marker, brain fatty acid binding protein (B-FABP). NFI activity is regulated by its phosphorylation status, with hypophosphorylated NFI being the active form. Our results indicate that the phosphatase calcineurin is able to dephosphorylate NFI. In turn, calcineurin is cleaved and activated by calpain proteases. We have identified CAST, a gene that encodes calpain inhibitor, calpastatin, as a putative target of NFI based on chromatin immunoprecipitation. Putative NFI binding elements are located in intron 3 of the CAST gene. To determine whether there is a bona fide alternative promoter within intron 3 of CAST, we carried out gel shifts as well as luciferase reporter gene assays using both the canonical and alternative promoters of CAST. These assays confirmed CAST alternative promoter usage in MG cells. Knockdown of individual NFIs revealed a role for NFIC and NFIX in the repression of CAST gene expression, specifically in cells expressing the hypophosphorylated (active) form of NFI. NFI depletion also altered the subcellular localization of both calpain and calineurin protein. Our results suggest a feedback loop for the NFI –calcineurin – calpain – calpastatin pathway in MG cells which may regulate cell migration.

Abstract:
Abstract Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are responsible for life-long maintenance of hematopoiesis. HSC transplantation represents one of the most heavily exploited cell based therapies, routinely used to treat a myriad of life threating disorders, such as leukemia and bone marrow failure. Identifying the molecular pathways that regulate HSC engraftment is crucial to further improving outcomes in patients that rely on HSC transplantation as a curative therapy. By examining the global gene expression profiles of highly purified HSC (Lineage-Sca-1+c-Kit+CD150+CD48-), we recently identified the following members of the Nfi gene family of transcription factors as highly expressed by HSC (McKinney-Freeman et al., Cell Stem Cell, 2012): Nfix, Nfia, and Nfic. These data suggest that Nfi genes may play a novel role in regulating HSC function. To test this hypothesis, HSCs were enriched from adult bone marrow (Lineage-, c-kit+, Sca-1+ (LSK) cells) and then transduced, individually, with lentiviruses carrying shRNAs targeting each Nfi gene. Twenty-four hours post-transduction, cells were injected into lethally irradiated mice along with untransduced bone marrow LSK competitor cells congenic at the CD45 allele. The peripheral blood of recipient mice was then analyzed periodically over 16 weeks for engraftment of the Nfi-depleted cells. Although shRNA mediated knockdown of Nfi gene expression had no effect on the in vitro cell growth or viability of LSK cells, Nfi-depleted HSCs displayed a significant loss of short- and long-term in vivo hematopoietic repopulating activity. This was true for Nfia-, Nfic-, and Nfix-deficient HSC. While Nfia and Nfic are only expressed by bone marrow HSC, Nfix is highly expressed by both bone marrow and fetal liver HSC. When Nfix was depleted by shRNAs from LSK cells purified from E14.5 fetal liver, a similar loss in competitive repopulating potential was seen. Lineage analysis of peripheral blood of recipients showed no significant differences in the distribution of the major blood lineages derived from LSK cells transduced with Nfi-specific shRNAs compared to controls. When the bone marrow of recipients transplanted with Nfix- depleted cells was examined 4 and 16 weeks post-transplant, a general loss of all hematopoietic stem- and progenitor compartments examined was seen relative to control. Thus, the observed decrease in repopulating activity occurs at the level of HSCs and multipotent progenitors. To confirm an essential role for an Nfi gene family member in the regulation of HSC engraftment post-transplant, LSK cells were purified from Nfix fl/fl mice, transduced with lentiviral Cre recombinase and subsequently introduced into lethally irradiated recipients alongside congenic competitor cells. Like LSK transduced with Nfix-specific shRNAs, Nfix-/- LSK cells failed to repopulate the peripheral blood of recipient mice as efficiently as control and similar trends were detected in all stem- and progenitor cell populations examined. Time-course experiments immediately following transplantation revealed that Nfix-depleted LSK cells establish themselves in the marrow of recipient mice as efficiently as control at 5 days post-transplant, but thereafter exhausted rapidly. Examination 10 days post-transplant revealed a 5-fold increase in apoptosis specifically in the LSK compartment, but not in its differentiated progeny, in recipients transplanted with Nfix-depleted LSK cells compared to control. The increase in apoptosis was not associated with any apparent change in the cell cycle status of the LSK cells. These data suggest that Nfi genes are necessary for the survival of HSC post-transplantation. In an effort to identify the molecular pathways regulated by Nfi genes in HSC, we acquired the global gene expression profiles of Nfix-depleted HSC. In agreement with our observation that Nfix-deficient HSC displays elevated levels of apoptosis following transplantation in vivo, we observed a significant decrease in multiple genes known to be important for HSC survival, such as Erg, Mecom and Mpl, in Nfix-depleted HSC. In summary, we have for the first time established a role for the Nfi gene family in HSC biology, as evident by a decrease in bone marrow repopulating activity in Nfi-depleted HSCs. By dissecting the precise role of Nfi genes in HSC biology, we will glean insights that could improve our understanding of graft failure in clinical bone marrow transplantations.

Abstract:
Repeat surveys as a quality assurance tool in the Swiss National Forest Inventory The Swiss National Forest Inventory (NFI) repeats surveys to guarantee the quality of fieldwork. To this end, approximately 10% of sample plots are completely surveyed a second time over a field season. Based on the results of the repeat survey, the current investigation focuses on the assessment precision, i.e. the reproducibility of various tree and stand attributes in NFI4. It also investigates whether the change from periodic (NFI1–NFI3) to continuous (NFI4) fieldwork has had a positive effect on the reproducibility of the attributes. The current results of the repeat surveys for NFI4 (2009/2017) are compared with those for NFI3 (2004/2006) to this end. We used statistical measures as well as measurement quality objectives (MQO) set by the NFI instructor team as a reference for evaluating reproducibility. The results vary for tree attributes which are vital for estimating stock. The result for the diameter at breast height (dbh) corresponds to the expected values, while that for upper stem diameter at seven meters height and tree height were approximately 5% below the expected values. With regard to the seven stand attributes also analyzed, four of them exceeded the quality goals (stand age, stand stability, the degree of cover of secured regeneration, and stage of development). The results for the mixture proportion, the stand structure and crown closure were between 5 and 18% below MQO. The result for presence of woody species shows that the recording of larger plants (above 130 cm) is clearly more reproducible than for smaller plants (40–130 cm). In NFI4, the reproducibility for almost all studied attributes was improved. The results suggest that the modified structure of fieldwork (with only three field teams and continuous fieldwork in NFI4) has a positive influence on the reproducibility of the included attributes.

Abstract:
YKL-40 is a secreted protein that is highly up-regulated in malignant glioblastoma (GBM). Its expression is correlated with the invasive nature of GBMs and poor diagnosis of patients (Nigro et al., 2005). Previous research has shown that in astrocytes and GBM cells, YKL-40 expression is regulated by two transcription factors, NFI-X3 and STAT3, which form a complex with each other (Singh et al., 2011). Here, we show that the N-terminal domain of NFI-X3 is sufficient and required for its interaction with STAT3. We also show that the DNA-binding domain of NFI-X3 is required to induce YKL-40 expression. Thus, the interaction of NFI-X3 with STAT3 may play a role in stabilizing the otherwise weak binding of NFI-X3 to the YKL-40 promoter. Collectively, the observations made in this study shed light on the mechanisms by which NFI-X3, in concert with STAT3 regulate YKL-40 expression.

Abstract:
The surface (photosphere) of the Sun is threaded throughout by magnetic fields. Groups of magnetic fields form magnetic features (of a wide range of sizes in flux and area) on the surface where the fields are directed into or out of the Sun. The aim of this thesis is to examine in detail the four key processes, emergence, cancellation, fragmentation and coalescence, which determine the behaviour of small-scale magnetic features, in the Sun's photosphere. I identify features in both Hinode/NFI and SOHO/MDI full-disk to enable these processes to be examined at the currently smallest observable scales and over an entire solar cycle. The emerging event frequency versus flux distribution, for intranetwork emerging regions to active regions, is found to follow a power-law distribution with index -2.50, which spans nearly 7 orders of magnitude in flux (10¹⁶ - 10²³ Mx) and 18 orders of magnitude in frequency. The global rate of flux emergence is found to be 3.9 x 10²⁴ Mx day⁻¹. Since the slope of all emerged fluxes is less than -2 this implies that most of the new flux that is fed into the solar atmosphere is from small-scale emerging events. This single power-law distribution over all emerged fluxes suggest a scale-free dynamo, therefore indicating that in addition to dynamo actions in the tachocline producing sunspots, a turbulent dynamo may act throughout the convection zone. Similarly for cancellations I find a power-law relationship between the frequency of cancellation and the peak flux lost per cancelling event (for events detected in both Hinode/NFI and SOHO/MDI full-disk), with slope -2.10. Again, the process of cancellation appears to be scale free and the slope is less than -2 indicating that numerous small-scale features are cancelling the majority of flux on the Sun. I also estimate the frequency of all surface processes at solar maximum and find, 1.3 x 10⁸, 4.5 x 10⁷, 4.0 x 10⁷ and 3.6 x 10⁶ events per day over the whole surface for emergence, cancellation, fragmentation and coalescence events, respectively. All the surface processes are found to behave in a similar manner over all flux scales. The majority of events for all processes occur in features with flux below 10²º Mx, which highlights the dynamic nature of the magnetic carpet. Using SOHO/MDI full-disk data I investigate the cyclic variation of the 4 key processes throughout cycle 23. It is found that the rate of emerging events, cancellations, fragmentations and coalescences varied in anti-phase with the solar cycle by factors of 3.4, 3.1, 2.4 and 2.2, respectively over the cycle. Not surprisingly, therefore, the number of network features detected throughout the cycle also exhibits an anti-phase variation over the solar cycle by a factor of 1.9. The mean peak flux of tracked small-scale network, fragmenting, coalescing and cancelling features showed in-phase relationships with the solar cycle by factors of 1.4, 1.7, 2.4 and 1.2, respectively. The total flux which is emerged and cancelled by small-scale events, varied in anti-phase with the solar cycle, by factors of 1.9 and 3.2. This is clearly due to the variation in the number of emerging and cancelling events and the fact that the flux of individual emerging events showed no cyclic variation. The results in this thesis show that the large-scale solar cycle plays a complex role in the surface processes features undergo. The fact that the number of ephemeral regions emerging has an anti-phase variation to the solar cycle has a knock-on effect in the number of features which are available to undergo surface processes. Also decaying active regions, during more active periods, contribute more small-scale features, with high flux density, into the network which has an effect on the surface processes. This work has revealed the significant importance of small-scale features in the flux budget through continual emergence and cancellation, plus highlighted how through dynamic surface motions, small-scale features form the fundamental components with which the network is developed.

Abstract:
Dans les transformations du systeme productif, la "gestion des situations de travail" devient une dimension essentielle de l'activite des ingenieurs et requiert par la-meme un elargissement de leur professionnalite a des competences nouvelles. Gerer une situation de travail, c'est en effet gerer tout a la fois des connaissances et des savoirs, des aires et des moyens de cooperation, des qualifications, des carrieres et des emplois, des conditions materielles de travail, des conflits de tous ordres. Dans tous ces domaines, l'ingenieur ne peut plus etre seulement un "prescripteur", il devient aussi celui qui doit creer, a travers un dialogue continu, les conditions de la synergie entre les differents acteurs de la production. Dans une premiere partie, cette these montre, en interrogeant des experiences et des pratiques d'ingenieurs, que cette dimension nouvelle de leur professionnalite est une dimension eminemment critique et met en evidence qu'elle est l'objet d'un deficit de comprehension et de cooperation generateur d'inefficacites productives et de souffrances humaines. La seconde partie etudie la facon dont le systeme de formation des ingenieurs traite cette question et les differences reponses qu'il y apporte : reforme des cursus existants, creation de nouveaux dispositifs, parmi lesquelles les nfi (nouvelles formations d'ingenieurs). La volonte d'elargissement de la professionnalite de l'ingenieur aux realites humaines et sociales de la production apparait omnipresente, des experiences innovantes se developpent, mais les changements reellement introduits restent dans l'ensemble limites et s'ordonnent principalement autour de la logique economique de l'entreprise. L'exigence d'une preparation efficace des futurs ingenieurs a leur responsabilite de gestionnaire des situations de travail n'invite-t-elle pas cependant a faire de la connaissance du travail humain, de sa complexite, de ses multiples dimensions et enjeux, un des axes majeurs de leur formation?
In the transformation of the productive system, the "management of work situations" becomes one of the main measures in the activities of engineers and there fore requires of broadering in their professionnalism in dealing with the new skills. Managing a work situation means that one has at the same time to deal with experience and knowledge, areas and means of cooperation, qualifications, carreers and employment, material working conditions, and all sorts of conflicts. In all these domains, the enginner can no longer be just a "prescriber", he also becomes a person who, through continuous communication, has to create the conditions for synergy between the various actors in production. In the first part, this thesis shows, through a questioning of engineers experience and practice, that this new dimension of their professionnalism is eminently critical and makes it obvious a lack of comprehension and cooperation which generate production inefficience and human suffering. The second part studies the way which the training system of engineers deals with this problem and the various answers that are brought forward : reforms in current cursus, creation of new schemes, among which the nfi (new training of engineers). The will to increase the professionnalism of engineers with regard to the human and social realities appears omnipresent, innovating experiments are beeing developed, but the genuine changes introduced are generally limited and are mainly organized around the economic logic of the firms. Does not the necessity of an efficient preparation of future engineers with management responsabilities in work situations invite us however to make of the knowledge of human work, with his complexity, with its multiples dimensions and stakes, one of the major themes of their training?

Abstract:
This chapter examines maize productivity, technology use in maize, and the impact of non-farm income (NFI) on agricultural investment in Kenya, giving them a gender dimension. The study first concludes that there are no significant differences in maize yields between male-managed farms and female-managed farms (FMFs) in the study areas, Nyeri and Kakamega. Second, technology use for maize production was lower and significant in some instances for FMFs. Significant differences, especially in the use of hybrid seeds and tractor ploughs, were noted. A third conclusion is that NFI is not used in farm investment. NFI had negative coefficients on adoption and intensity of agricultural input use. Policies that encourage both farm and non-farm income should be instituted given the complementary roles that they play. Any entry barriers for disadvantaged households, especially for the FMFs, to participate in higher-paying non-farm activities need to be overcome.

Abstract:
The aim of the study is to evaluate carbon stock in litter and organic forest soils in Latvia as well as to characterize accumulation of carbon in litter in afforested lands. The study is providing empirically valid information about soil and litter carbon changes for the National greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory by using data from National forest inventory (NFI), forest soil monitoring demonstration project BioSoil and other studies. The study proves significance of organic forest soil carbon pool in Latvia and demonstrates necessity to extend NFI incorporated forest soil monitoring program to improve data on soil density in wet organic soils, as well as to integrate data characterizing water regime in forests. The acquired data also proves that the conservative approach of calculation of carbon stock changes in litter in afforested lands applied in the Latvia’s National GHG inventory avoids overestimation of CO2 removals. The data on litter carbon stock collected in this study is sufficient to estimate total carbon stock for stands dominated by most common tree species and long term impact of changes of species composition. Measurements of organic soil and litter thickness should be continued by NFI and integrated with more detailed soil monitoring to increase accuracy of carbon stock estimates and gather data necessary for verification of modelling data, particularly in afforested lands and due to change of dominant species.

Abstract:
Freon thermal hydraulic test is expected to be one of the workable methods to develop high thermal hydraulic performance PWR fuel. That is, high pressure water and high heat flux condition in PWR core can be substituted with lower pressure Freon and lower heat flux by applying appropriate fluid-to-fluid similarity and modeling parameters. Freon DNB tests and mixing tests were carried out against a 4×4 rod bundle configuration where R-134A flowed vertically upwardly. The tests were carried out at Freon thermal hydraulic test loop in Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI). The spacer grid used in these tests was modeled on that of conventional PWR fuel, that is, square lattice grid with split type mixing vanes. Diameter of heater rod simulating PWR fuel rod is about 10.7mm and heating length is about 2000 mm. Freon mixing tests were carried out to estimate Turbulence Diffusivity Coefficient (TDC), which was normally used in conventional thermal hydraulic design of nuclear reactor. Freon CHF test results showed that parametric trends agreed with those of existing CHF data. To predict CHF of 4×4 rod bundle, subchannel analysis code Modified COBRA-3C and NFI-1 DNB correlation were applied. TDC value used in subchannel analysis was determined by fitting Freon mixing test data. NFI-1 DNB correlation was developed for predicting DNB heat flux in rod bundle configuration by using water CHF test results at HTRF test loop at Columbia University. The design of spacer grids used in KAERI Freon DNB test was similar to that used in water CHF test at HTRF. Water equivalent flow condition of this R-134A test was estimated using fluid-to-fluid similarities. NFI-1 DNB correlation was applied to this water equivalent condition to estimate water equivalent DNB heat flux. Then R-134A equivalent DNB heat flux was estimated reversely, and compared to Freon DNB test result. The test results were predicted well and applicability of NFI-1 DNB correlation and fluid-to-fluid similarities in 4×4 rod bundle is discussed.
