This paper presents a laboratory experiment on data acquisition technique that applied to the gamma radiation scanning coupled with computed tomography (CT) technique for inspection of broken nozzle inside the vertical vessel. The acquisition technique was developed to inspect a large diameter vessel when suspicious problem location is not easily accessed. This technique allows the installation of gamma radiation source (Cesium 137, Cs-137), and detectors (Sodium Iodine. NaI(Tl)) from the accessible location to the required location and performs the scanning by designed pattern. To demonstrate the designed technique, top opened tank which installed with six cut steel pipes diameter of 76.2 mm (3") at a certain position was selected. They were assumed to be a gas riser pipes inside the vessel. Three studied cases were performed, (a) projection of well installed six pipes, (b) projection of one out of six broken pipe and (c) one of nozzle was assumed to be failure and fell down until one out of six pipes was broken and obstructed by nozzle. Results clearly indicated the capability of developed technique to distinguish between normal situation case and abnormal situation cases.

This paper is a part of the series on positron annihilation spectroscopy of two-phase diffuse gas-and-dust aggregates, such as interstellar medium and the young remnants of type II supernovae. The results obtained from prior studies were applied here to detect the relationship between the processes of the annihilation of the K-shell electrons and incident positrons, and the effects of these processes on the optical spectra of their respective atoms. Particular attention was paid to the Doppler broadening of their optical lines. The relationship between the atomic mass of the elements and the Doppler broadening, ${\Delta}{\lambda}_D$ (${\AA}$), of their emission lines as produced in these processes was established. This relationship is also illustrated for isotope sets of light elements, namely $^3_2He$, $^6_3Li$, $^7_3Be$, $^{10}_5B$ and $^{11}_5B$. A direct correlation between the ${\gamma}-line$ luminosity ( $E_{\gamma}=1.022MeV$) and ${\Delta}{\lambda}_D$ (${\AA}$) was proved virtually. Qualitative estimates of the structure of such lines depending on the positron velocity distribution function, f(E), were made. The results are presented in tabular form and can be used to set up the objectives of further studies on active galactic nuclei and young remnants of type II supernovae.

본 논문에서는 감마선원 영상화를 위한 감마선 탐지장치에 적용할 차폐체의 구조 변경에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 선행 연구를 통해 상용 감마선 영상화 장치의 차폐체와 차폐효율은 유사하지만 경량화 그리고 무게중심을 이동시킨 차폐체를 구현하였다. 본 논문에서는 모션 제어장치의 효율적인 동작을 위해 차폐체를 변경하였다. 차폐체 설계를 위해서 MCNP 전산모사를 수행하였으며, 그 결과 약 15%의 경량화 및 무게중심을 차폐체 중심으로 이동시키는 결과를 얻었다.

Let R be an associative ring with nonzero identity. The annihilator ideal graph of R, denoted by ${\Gamma}_{Ann}(R)$, is a graph whose vertices are all nonzero proper left ideals and all nonzero proper right ideals of R, and two distinct vertices I and J are adjacent if $I{\cap}({\ell}_R(J){\cup}r_R(J)){\neq}0$ or $J{\cap}({\ell}_R(I){\cup}r_R(I)){\neq}0$, where ${\ell}_R(K)=\{b{\in}R|bK=0\}$ is the left annihilator of a nonempty subset $K{\subseteq}R$, and $r_R(K)=\{b{\in}R|Kb=0\}$ is the right annihilator of a nonempty subset $K{\subseteq}R$. In this paper, we assume that R is a semicommutative ring. We study the structure of ${\Gamma}_{Ann}(R)$. Also, we investigate the relations between the ring-theoretic properties of R and graph-theoretic properties of ${\Gamma}_{Ann}(R)$. Moreover, some combinatorial properties of ${\Gamma}_{Ann}(R)$, such as domination number and clique number, are studied.

The virtual Frisch-grid method for room-temperature radiation detectors has been widely used because of its simplicity and high performance. Recently, side electrodes were separately attached to each surface of the detectors instead of covering the entire detector surface with a single electrode. The side-electrode structure enables the measurement of the three-dimensional (3D) gamma-ray interaction in the detector. The positional information of the interaction can then be utilized to precisely calibrate the response of the detector for gamma-ray spectroscopy and imaging. In this study, we developed a 3D position-sensitive 5 × 5 × 12 mm³ cadmium-zinc-telluride (CZT) detector and applied a flattening method to correct detector responses. Collimated gamma-rays incident on the surface of the detector were scanned to evaluate the positional accuracy of the detection system. Positional distributions of the radiation interactions with the detector were imaged for quantitative and qualitative evaluation. The energy spectra of various radioisotopes were measured and improved by the detector response calibration according to the calculated positional information. The energy spectra ranged from 59.5 keV (emitted by ²⁴¹Am) to 1332 keV (emitted by ⁶⁰Co). The best energy resolution was 1.06% at 662 keV when the CZT detector was voxelized to 20 × 20 × 10.

In this paper, the multiplicity, stability and the structure of classical solutions of semilinear elliptic equations of the form (equation omitted) will be discussed. Here $\Omega$ is a smooth and bounded domain in $R^{n}$ (n $\geq$ 1), f(x,u) = │u│$^{\alpha}$/sgn(u)-h(x), 0 < $\alpha$ < 1, (n $\geq$ 1) and h is a ${\gamma}$- Holder continuous function on $\Omega$ for some 0 < ${\gamma}$ < 1.a}$ < 1.

Mechanical properties of austempered ductile iron can be guaranteed if a good knowledge of its metallugical structure is obtained. In this paper, the effects of small Mo additions to austempered ductile iron on its metallurgical structures as a function of section size are examined. From the results, it is found that ${\gamma}-pool$ region and segregation of Mo in ${\gamma}-pool$ region are increased with increase in the section size.

Based on optical galaxy data, we executed a systematic search for galaxy clusters around the 15 steady unidentified EGRET GeV gamma-ray sources in high Galactic-latitude sky ([b] > $30^{\circ}$). We found a strong correlation with 3.7$\sigma$ level between close cluster pairs (merging cluster candidates) and the unidentified EGRET sources, though, in contrast, no correlation with single clusters. This result implies that merging clusters of galaxies are a possible candidate for the origin of high galactic-latitude, steady unidentified EGRET gamma-ray sources.

Unlike non-ionic clathrate hydrates stably formed by van der Waals interaction between a guest molecule and a surrounding host framework, ionic clathrate hydrates are stabilized by ionic interaction between an ionic guest molecule and the host water-framework. Here, we firstly described the stable entrapment of the superoxide ions in ${\gamma}$-irradiated $Me_4NOH+O_2$ hydrate. Owing to peculiar direct guest-guest ionic interaction, the lattice structure of ${\gamma}$-irradiated $Me_4NOH+O_2$ hydrate shows significant change of lattice contraction behavior even at relatively high temperature(120K). Particularly, we note that ionic-induced dimensional change is much greater than thermal-induced change. Such findings are expected to provide useful information for a better understanding of unrevealed nature of clathrate hydrate fields.

We give conditions so that a polynomial be factorable through an $L_{\gamma}({\mu})$ space. Among them, we prove that, given a Banach space X and an index m, every absolutely summing operator on X is 1-factorable if and only if every 1-dominated m-homogeneous polynomial on X is right 1-factorable, if and only if every 1-dominated m-homogeneous polynomial on X is left 1-factorable. As a consequence, if X has local unconditional structure, then every 1-dominated homogeneous polynomial on X is right and left 1-factorable.
