  • This study was conducted to establish a rapid analysis method for determining protein and moisture contents of pea. Ninety and eighty pea (Pisum sativum L.) lines were analyzed to determine protein and moisture contents, respectively using near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy. Simple correlations (${\gamma}$) of protein content in a ground sample and an intact grain sample by an automatic regression method were 0.978 and 0.910, respectively. Simple correlations by partial least square regression/principal component analysis (PLS/PCA) methods were 0.982 and 0.925, respectively. Standard error of performance (SEP) in protein content was the lowest value, 0.446 in ground sample by PLS/PCA methods. Simple correlation of moisture content was the highest at 0.871 in ground samples. when using a standard regression method. Accuracy for the moisture content was slightly lower than for protein content. It was concluded that the NIRS method would be applicable only for rapid determination of protein content in pea.

  • To elucidate the effect of gamma-irradiation on the molecular properties of myoglobin, the secondary and tertiary structures, as well as the molecular weight size of the protein, were examined after irradiation at various irradiation doses. Gamma-irradiation of myoglobin solutions caused the disruption of the ordered structure of the protein molecules, as well as degradation, cross-linking, and aggregation of the polypeptide chains. A SDS-PAGE study indicated that irradiation caused initial fragmentation of the proteins and subsequent aggregation, due to cross-linking of the protein molecules. The effect of irradiation on the protein was more significant at lower protein concentrations. Ascorbic acid protected against the degradation and aggregation of proteins by scavenging oxygen radicals that are produced by irradiation. A circular dichroism study showed that an increase of the irradiation decreased the a-helical content of myoglobin with a concurrent increase of the aperiodic structure content. Fluorescence spectroscopy indicated that irradiation increased the emission intensity that was excited at 280 nm.

  • A series of laboratory experiments was conducted to investigate the fixation characteristics of poly(vinylalcohol)-poly(methacrylic acid)(PVA-PMAA) mixed solution on the soluble (equation omitted)-radionuclides. Using the potentiometric titration technique, it was found out that the PVA and PMAA in a solution form intermacromolecular complex. The mobilized portion of each radionuclide by water from sand surface treated with a fixative was measured by ${\gamma}$-ray spectroscopy, The mobilized portion of minor radionuclides such as $^{241}$ Am, $^{154}$ Eu, $^{155}$ Eu and $^{144}$ Ce were higher than those of $^{134}$ Cs and $^{137}$ Cs. The capability of PVA-PMAA system was better among the candidate solutions for the fixation of total (equation omitted)-radioactivity, $^{134,137}$Cs which is composed of more than 85 % of total ${\gamma}$-radioactivity could be fixed effectively by the PVA-PMAA solution.

  • Neutron induced prompt gamma-ray spectroscopy (NIPS) system equipped with a $^{252}Cf$ neutron source and a n-type coaxial HPGe detector was installed for the quantitative analysis of aqueous samples in KAERI, Korea. Since the thermal neutron flux for the $^{252}Cf$ neutron source is relatively low compared to that for the reactor, the use of a thermal neutron reflector in the NIPS system may lead to improved results. The enhancement by using various reflectors was carried out by comparing the Cl peak with or without a cadmium plate between sample and the $^{252}Cf$ source. The use of pyrolitic graphite as a reflector provided a good result.

  • Gamma ray burst, the most brightest explosion phenomena in the current universe is well suited for study of high redshift universe. We report the afterglow multi-wavelength observation and GTC spectroscopy follow up of GRB 140304A which was exploded at z=5.283. The spectrum was shown damped Lyman alpha features and a series of absorption lines S, Si, SiII*, Oi, CII, CII*, SiIV are clearly detected at common redshift. Clear optical flares are detected when X-ray flare happened and a possible gamma-ray excess also. At this conference, we report on implications for the GRB host and environments using its absorption features which place the results in context to other well studied high redshift GRBs and studies about the ejecta using its observed flaring activities.

  • L-Ascorbic aciddm ltodcp 산화분해과정중 ${\alpha}$-ketoaldehyde의 한 종류인 3,4,5-trihydroxy-2-keto-L-valeral-dehyde(L-xylosone)가 형성된다는 사실을 핵자기공명스펙트럼분석법으로 확인하였다. 이 물질은 glyoxalase system에 의해 L-xylonic acid로 변환되고 계속해서 L-erythroascorbic acid로 산화된다. 이러한 근거 위에서 vitamin C의 분해과정이 vitamic C 이외의 두종류의 ${\gamma}$-lactones-과 3종류의 ${\alpha}$-ketoaldehydes로 구성된 분해경로를 갖는다는 사실을 제안하였다.

  • A number of molybdenum(VI), -(V), and -(IV) oxo complexes with S-methyl 3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)methylenedithiocarbazate and its derivatives as the ONS-donor metal-binding substrate are synthesized. The Mo(VI)-dioxo complexes are cis-dioxo Mo$O_2$L(D), where D is solvent molecules such as MeOH, DMF, Py(pyridine), DMSO, and ${\gamma}$-Pic(${\gamma}$-picoline). The Mo(V)-oxo complexes are of the type (PyH)[MoO(NCS$)_2$L] with an octahedral geometry. The Mo(IV)-oxo complexes, MoOL are derived from corresponding Mo(VI)-dioxo complexes by oxo abstraction with PP$h_3$. The complexes are characterized by IR, $^1$H-NMR, UV-Vis spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. On the basis of ligand displacement reaction, the qualitative order of D binding for Mo$O_2$L(D) complexes is also discussed.

  • Considering the importance of deuterium in nuclear science including medical and industrial researches such as (BNCT) and nuclear reactors respectively, it is important to study various possible ways in addition to common methods for measuring its concentration. This study is an effort to measure deuterium concentration using PGNAA. The main idea is to calculate the area under 2.23 MeV gamma-rays photo peak resulting from neutron collision with Hydrogen atoms which are in mix with deuterium in samples. The study carried out by both simulation and experiment. Monte Carlo MCNPX2.6 code has been used for simulation and based on its acceptable results an experimental setup has been arranged. The coordination of results was in the range of R = 0.99 and R = 0.98 in simulation and experiment respectively. The accuracy of the study has been investigated by measuring the concentration of an unknown sample by both PGNAA and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) methods in which there were acceptable correlation between these two methods.

  • 양성자과학연구단의 100-MeV 양성자선형가속기의 양성자를 사용하여 천연 169Tm과 핵반응을 일으켜 167Yb 방사성동위원소를 생성하였다. 생성된 동위원소는 17.5분의 반감기를 가지며 167Tm로 붕괴한다. 이때 발생하는 감마선을 HPGe 검출시스템을 사용하여 측정하였다. 검출기의 에너지 교정 및 검출기의 효율 측정은 표준선원을 사용하여 결정하였다. 기존에 알려진 Table of Isotopes의 주요 감마선 에너지는 모두 측정되었다. 한편, 현재까지 알려진 발생되는 감마선의 강도에 대한 정보는 매우 부정확한 상황이다. 따라서 본 연구를 통하여 주요 감마선에 대한 붕괴 강도를 정확하게 측정하였다. 전체적으로 기존에 알려져 있던 결과들과 상이한 차이를 보였으며 특히 113.3 및 106.2 keV 감마선 같은 주 붕괴 감마선의 강도들이 과대평가 되었다는 사실을 알게 되었고 62.9, 116.7 및 143.56 keV의 감마선 들은 과소평가 된 감마선들임을 알게 되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 핵융합 연구, 천체 물리학 및 핵물리 분야에 있어서 중요한 정보가 될 것으로 생각된다.
