  • 라돈은 암석이나 토양 같은 지각물질에서 발생되는 우라늄($^{238}$ U) 붕괴계열인 라듐($^{226}$ Ra)의 붕괴과정에서 생성된다. 라돈($^{222}$ Rn)은 붕괴하면서 $\alpha$방사선을 방출한다. $\alpha$ 붕괴에 의하여 $^{218}$ Po, $^{214}$ Po, $^{214}$ Bi 등의 자핵종(Radon daughter)을 생성하며, 이 과정에서 인체의 세포를 죽이거나 염색체를 손상시킬 수 있으며, 폐암의 발생 위험률을 높이는 것으로 보고되었다$^{1)}$ . 라돈은 건물의 균열, 연결부위, 혹은 배수관이나 오수간, 주변의 틈을 통해서 실내로 유입된다.

  • 발암성 물질로 알려진 라돈($^{222}Rn$)은 원래 불활성기체로 자연계에 널리 존재하는 자연방사능으로 암석이나 토양 같은 지각물질에서 발생하는 우라늄($^{238}U$) 붕괴계열인 라듐($^{226}Ra$)의 붕괴과정에서 생성되는 방사성 가스이다. 라돈($^{222}R$)은 $\alpha$붕괴에 의하여 $^{218}Po$, $^{214}Po$등의 자핵종(Radon daughter)을 생성하며, 최종적으로 납($^{210}Pb$)으로 변한다 라돈이 폐에 흡입되면 붕괴하면서 $\alpha$방사선을 방출하는데, 이것이 인체의 세포를 죽이거나 염색체를 손상시킬 수 있으며, 폐암의 발생 위험률을 높이는 것으로 보고되었다.

  • In the proposed spectrum analyzer, open-loop VCO is replaced with PLL synthesizer incorporating digital frequency synthesizer using modulofunction for measuring precise frequencys. Three different frequency bands and channel spacings are realized by single loop synthesizer through the effective design of the system. The newly designed system with square detection has a good linearity of input range from 10mV to 8.5V, as a result the input sensitivity has been improved up to 500uV. The storage function enables us to analyze not only periodic but also nonperiodic wave-form and zoom-in function expands frequency resolution eight times for the dense spectra.

  • Certain basic characteristics of choline uptake in nerve terminals were studied with synaptosomes from rat hippocampus. Synaptosomal $[^3H]$-choline uptake was clarified as specific and high affinity by low Km value(2.2 uM), Na+-dependency and high sensitivity to hemicholinium-3, a competitive inhibitor of choline uptake. Choline uptake into synaptosomes was linearlys related to Na+ concentration and membrane potential. Extracellular Ca2+ modulated the choline uptake, but probably not through increase of intracellular $Ca^{2+}$, because this modulation was not affected the by high $K^+$-depolarization. EGTA (2mM) added for $Ca^{2+}$-free condition had a peculiar effect of decreasing choline uptake. These results suggest that Ca2+ may play an important role in regulating the metabolism of acetylcholine in the nerve terminals directly through the increase of acetylcholine release.

  • In the environment of protectionism and bilateral trade agreements, Korea has promoted the conclusion of FTAs for its export-oriented trading policy, and 16 FTAs have entered into force at present. The main goal of this paper is to introduce the ISI system and its benefits and to extend the preferential rule of origin regime by using the Integrated Sourcing Initiative in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations. The ISI illustrates with impressive clarity the fact that it considered as a tool of expanding the geographic limit of states and maximizing the global sourcing strategy of multinational corporations, allowing the developing countries to gain access to the market of developed ones that avoid the complexity and costs of many rules of origin regimes. This paper utilizes the literature research and analyzes a case study of FTAs which have adopted the ISI system. In conclusion, it presents several implications of additional measures to satisfy rules of origin in Korea's existing FTAs relating to the global supply chain strategy.

  • Ag (silver)의 일함수는 T-OLED (Top Emission Organic Light Emitting Diode)의 전극소자로 사용하기에는 다소 낮다는 단점이 있다(~4.3 eV). 이러한 단점을 해결하기 위한 대안으로 Ag 박막의 표면을 플라즈마 처리, UV 처리 및 열처리를 통하여 일함수를 높이는 연구가 진행 되어왔다(>5.0 eV). 하지만 현재의 대부분 연구는 후 처리된 박막의 일함수에 초점을 맞춰 연구가 진행 되어 박막의 nano-mechanical property에 대한 연구는 매우 부족하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 AgOx 박막의 nano-mechanical property에 초점을 맞춰 분석을 실시하였다. 연구에 사용된 샘플은 Ag 박막을 유리기판 위에 rf-magnetron sputter 장치를 이용하여 100 W의 power로 150 nm 두께로 증착하였다. 증착된 Ag 박막은 $O_3$ 발생 UV 램프를 이용하여, 다양한 시간동안 UV 처리하였다(0~9분). 증착된 샘플은 Four-point probe, nanoindenter 장비를 이용하여 nano-mechanical property를 분석하였다. 실험 결과 UV 처리 시간이 0, 1분에서 면저항이 0.16, 0.50 ${\Omega}$/sq로 급격한 변화가 나타났으나, 반면 3분 이후 9분의 샘플의 경우, 0.55 ${\Omega}$/sq에서 0.24, 0.20, 0.15 ${\Omega}$/sq로 감소하여 전기적 특성변화를 볼 수 있었다. 또한 nanoindenting 결과 UV 처리한 박막의 극 표면 경도 값의 변화는 0~5분 처리한 샘플의 경우, 물리적인 경도가 증가하는 형태를 보이며 UV 처리를 5분간 했을때 7.89 GPa로 최고의 경도를 가진다. 그 이후부터는 6.97, 3.46 GPa의 결과로 박막의 경도가 감소되는 결과를 얻었다. 이러한 결과로부터 Ag 박막의 후처리에 따른 Ag 물질의 산화 및 결정상태에 따라 박막 내에 존재하는 residual stress를 분석할 수 있다.

  • Morphological characteristics and life cycle of Udea ferrugalis (Hubner) attacking Angelica utilis were studied in 1995 and 1996. Egg of U. ferrugalis was oval-shaped with light-gray. Larva was milk white or light yellow color with 1.50-14.6 mm body length, depending on their developmental stages from 1st to 5th instar. Pupa were deep-brown with 8.2-9.7 mm length. Adults were brown color and body lengths were 10.1 mm and 8.3 mm and wing expanse lengths were 18.5 mm and 16.6mm with female and male, respectively. At 20$^{\circ}$C, each developmently periods was 5.81, 19.0, 3.46 and 1 l.0days with egg, larvae, pre-pupae, and pupae, respectively. Also adult longevitys were 10.13 for female and 9.8 days for male. Average number of egg were 238.5 and 248.8 at 20$^{\circ}$C and 30$^{\circ}$C, respectively. A total of 12 species host plants were identified in the outdoor observation in Chungbuk province.

  • The purpose of this study is to maintain healthy hair by treatment. Frequent permutations cause a lot of damage to the ends of the hair, and use permant wave pre- and post-processing agents step by step to protect the damaged ends of the hair. The Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract used in this study are effective for anti-bacterial, antioxidant, anti-cancer blood circulation and skin moisturizing. This extract was soaked in 1 perm paper and 2 perm papers and wound, and then the cuticle, tensile strength and wave formation rate were investigated. An average comparison analysis was conducted, and when the ginkgo leaf extract was applied to two perm paper sheets, the permanent hair tip showed the highest hair improvement effect.

  • This study discusses the effect of using 232Th instead of 238U on the neutronic characteristics and the main operating parameters of the pressurized water reactor (PWR). MCNPX version 2.7 was used to compare the neutronic characteristics of UO2 with (Th, 235U)O2 and (Th, 233U) O2. Firstly, the infinity multiplication factor (Kinf), thermal neutron flux, and power distribution have been studied for the investigated fuel types. Secondly, the effect of Gd2O3 and Er2O3 on the Kinf and on the radial thermal neutron flux and thermal power has been investigated to distinguish which of them is more suitable than the other in reactivity management. Thirdly, to illustrate the effectiveness of 232Th in decreasing the inventory of both the actinides and non-actinides, the concentration of plutonium (Pu) isotopes and minor actinides (MAs) has been simulated with the fuel burnup. Besides, due to their large thermal neutron absorption cross-section, the concentrations of 135Xe, 149Sm, and 151Sm with the fuel burnup have been investigated. Finally, the main safety parameters such as the reactivity worth of the control rods (ρCR), the effective delayed neutron fraction βeff, and the Doppler reactivity coefficient (DRC) were calculated to determine to which extent these fuel types achieve the acceptable limits.
