The experimental verification of treatment planning on the treatment spot is the ultimate method to assure quality of radiotherapy, so in-vivo skin dose measurement is the essential procedure to confirm treatment dose. In this study, glass rod dosimeter (GRD), which is a kind of photo-luminescent based dosimeters, was studied to produce a guideline to use GRDs in vivo dosimetry for quality assurance of radiotherapy. The pre-processing procedure is essential to use GRDs. This is a heating operation for stabilization. Two kinds of pre-processing methods are recommended by manufacturer: a heating method (70 degree, 30 minutes) and a waiting method (room temperature, 24 hours). We equally irradiated 1.0 Gy to 20 GRD elements, and then different preprocessing were performed to 10 GRDs each. In heating method, reading deviation of GRDs at same time were relatively high, but the deviation was very low as time went on. In waiting method, the deviation among GRDs was low, but the deviation was relatively high as time went on. The meaningful difference was found between mean reading values of two pre-processing methods. Both methods present mean dose deviation under 5%, but the relatively high effect by reading time was observed in waiting method. Finally, GRD is best to perform in-vivo dosimetry in the viewpoint of accuracy and efficiency, and the understanding of how pre-processing affect the accuracy is asked to perform most accurate in-vivo dosimetry. The further study is asked to acquire more stable accuracy in spite of different irradiation conditions for GRD usage.

In the oil and gas exploration market, various cableless seismic systems have been developed as an alternative to improve data acquisition efficiency. However, developing such equipment at a small scale for academic research is not available owing to highly priced commercial products. Fortunately, building and experimenting with open-source hardware enable the academic utilization of cableless seismic equipment with relatively low cost. This study aims to develop a cableless seismic acquisition module using Arduino. A cableless seismic system requires the combination of signal sensing, simple pre-processing, and data storage in a single device. A conventional geophone is used as the sensor that detects the seismic wave signal. In addition, it is connected to an Arduino circuit that plays a role in implementing the processing and storing module for the detected signals. Three main functions are implemented in the Arduino module: preprocessing, A/D conversion, and data storage. The developed single-channel module can acquire a common receiver gather from multiple source experiments.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of cold maceration and heat treatment prior to alcohol fermentation on the quality characteristics of wine made from Okrang grape cultivar. The results of this study show that alcohol contents of wines increased as fermentation period increased, whereas $^{\circ}Brix$ values decreased. The pH levels of wines ranged from 3.17 to 3.42 while the total acidities of wines ranged from 0.49~0.99%. The free sugar contents of wines tended to decrease as fermentation period increased. In particular, free sugar content of wine pre-treated at low temperature prior to alcohol fermentation slowly. Total polyphenol content of wine heat-treated prior to alcohol fermentation was higher than those of other wines and reached a maximum value after fermentation for 2 days. Campbell Early wine showed the strongest antioxidant effect, measured based on DPPH free radical scavenging activity, followed by Okrang wine pressing after fermentation. These results indicate that pre-treatment before wine fermentation greatly affects wine quality and biofunctional activities.

The effect of the addition of the fresh medium, volume of under solid medium in double layer culture as well as the medium change after pretreating microspores on the production of embryos in microspore culture of hot pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) has been studied. When cultured after heat pre-treatment, changing pretreatment media with fresh culture media proved to be more effective for embryo production rather than supplementing additional culture media. Heat-pretreating for 3 days turned out more effective for embryo production than pretreating for 1 or 2 days. In the case of anther pretreatment, the addition of fresh medium after culture was not effective for embryo production. In pretreating microspores, however, supplementing additional fresh culture media greatly improved embryo yield and quality. The best time point of media addition was 4 days after culture commenced, and the most effective number of times of media addition was one time addition. Moreover, the effective volume of added medium in double layer culture for embryo production was 1.5 ml. The addition of media more than 1.5 ml reduced both embryo yield and quality. Double layer medium was more effective for embryo development than liquid medium. When the volume of under solid medium increased ranging from 3 ml to 7 ml, more cotyledonary embryos were produced in either 5 ml or 7 ml compared to 3 ml, even though the total number of embryos were highest in 3 ml. These results can be used as an important data for establishing an efficient microspore culture system for producing high frequency of normal embryos in hot pepper.

During operation process of SIES(Selective ion exchange system) at Kori Unit 2, it was impossible to remove radionuclides such as ion form and Ag-110m, etc., because activated carbon and ion exchange resin of this system are fouled easily by suspended solids and oils in liquid radwaste that was flowed in this system. In this study, an experiment to improve quality of water which was flowed in SIES was performed. and design data of Scale-up pretreatment process were secured. Also, each module design for Microfiltration and Nanofiltration unit of the pretreatment process for SIES was performed.

정수공정은 "원수 -1 침사지 1 전염소 -1 전오존 -1 침전지 1 여과지 1 후오존 1 GAC 4 후염소 1 가정수"로 이루어져 있으며 전처리 공정으로 염 소와 오존을 주입하게 되는데, 여기서 전염소 처리 공정으로 인해 잔류 유리염 소가 수중의 유기물질과 반웅하여 유해성 유기염소 화합물 (i.e.. Trihalomethane, Haloacetonitriles, Chlorophenol 등)을 생성하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이러한 이유로 고도 정수처리 공정에서는 강한 산화력을 지닌 대체 산화 제로서 오존을 이용하고 있다. 전오존 처리공정은 OOC와 탁도 제거에 있어 응 집제 주입량을 감소시키는 것과 더불어 전오존 효과 (산화, 생분해 증대, 살균 등)를 얻을 수 있는 것으로 알려져 왔다. 그러나 낙동강과 같이 유기물이 많은 원수에 과다한 오존이 주입되면 수중 의 유기물이 저분자화 또는 응집이 어려운 오존 산화물로 변화하여 응집제의 소비가 많아지게 된다. 실제, 오존을 응집 효과에 대해서 pilot plant로 운전한 결과 전오존에 의해 입자성 물질의 제거 효율은 향상된 반면에 유기물 제거는 뚜렷한 효과를 볼 수 없었다고 보고되었다 (류, 1997). 본 연구에서는 물금 지역의 원수와 응집-침전 공정까지 거치는 각각의 처 리수에 대해서 전처리가 응집에 미치는 영향을 천연유기물질 (NOM)의 조성 변화로 파악하였다. 그 방법으로 천연유기물질 (NOM)을 XAD-1, -4 수지를 이 용하여 소수성 물질 (hydrophobic components)과 친수성 물질 (hydrophilic components)로 분리 및 농축하여 용존 유기물이 처리 과정에서 어떻게 변화하 는지를 조사하여 개선된 상수 처리 시스템을 설계하는데 기초 자료를 제공하고 수질 관리 분야에서도 적용하고자 하였다. 상수원수인 물금 지역의 소수성 물질(hydrophobic components)은 75~80%, 친수성 물질(hydrophilic components)은 30~33%정도의 분포를 보였고, 전염소 및 전오존 공정을 거친 처리수에서는 각각 62.2-62.8%, 43.9~49.0% 및 50~ 55%, 40~57% 정도의 분포를 보였다. 그리고 웅집-침전을 거친 처리수에서는 그 분포가 77~82%, 24-48%였다. 전주리 공정을 통하여 소수성 물질(byoghobic components)의 분포가 감 소하는 것을 볼 때 전염소 및 전오존 처리가 용존유기물의 응집에는 오히려 역 효과를 나타내는 것으로 판단된다. 것으로 판단된다.

이 연구는 기상수치예보 모델 중 지역수치예보모델인 RDAPS 모델을 이용하여 강우자료를 예측한 값과 실제 강우관측지점에서의 강우량을 비교해 보고 RDAPS 예측량의 정확도를 높이기 위한 연구이다. RDAPS 모델의 자료는 00UTC와 12UTC에 3시간 누적 자료를 48시간에 대해서 생성하고, 30km 격자망에 대한 정보를 담고 있기 때문에 1시간 간격으로 측정된 지점 강우량과의 비교를 위해서는 관측지점과 근거리 정보를 찾고 1시간 간격의 관측 자료를 3시간 누적강우량으로 바꾸는 전처리 과정이 필요하다. 실제 강우예측이 어려움을 겪는 것처럼 RDAPS의 예측 강우량과 관측 강우량은 큰 차이를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 예측 강우량의 정확도를 높이고자 인공신경망을 적용하였다. 인공신경망이란 뇌기능의 특성 몇가지를 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션으로 표현하는 것을 목표로 하는 수학 모델이다. 강우수치예측 자료 외에도 RDAPS 모델에서 얻을 수 있는 풍향, 풍속, 상대습도, 기압, 온도 등의 다른 수치자료들을 이용하여 인공신경망을 이용하여 자료들의 패턴을 시뮬레이션 하여 정확도가 높은 예측값을 얻을 수 있었다.
