Background: Gamma-ray detectors having a thin window of a material with low atomic number can increase the true coincidence summing effects for radionuclides emitting X-rays or gamma-rays. This effect can make efficiency calibration or spectrum analysis more complicated. In this study, a Cu shield was tested as an X-ray filter to neglect the true coincidence summing effect by X-rays and gamma-rays in gamma-ray spectrometry, in order to simplify gamma-ray energy spectrum analysis. Materials and Methods: A Cu shield was designed and applied to an n-type high-purity germanium detector having an $X-{\gamma}$ summing effect during efficiency calibration. This was tested using a commercial, certified mixed gamma-ray source. The feasibility of a Cu shield was evaluated by comparing efficiency calibration results with and without the shield. Results and Discussion: In this study, the thickness of a Cu shield needed to avoid true coincidence summing effects due to $X-{\gamma}$ was tested and determined to be 1 mm, considering the detection efficiency desired for higher energy. As a result, the accuracy of the detection efficiency calibration was improved by more than 13% by reducing $X-{\gamma}$ summing. Conclusion: The $X-{\gamma}$ summing effect should be considered, along with ${\gamma}-{\gamma}$ summing, when a detection efficiency calibration is implemented and appropriate shielding material can be useful for simplifying analysis of the gamma-ray energy spectra.

본 연구는 Gamma 분포의 이론적 검토와 이의 수공학에의 적용, 즉 Gamma 분포의 적합성 및 Gamma 모델에 의한 하천유량의 Simulation에 대한 연구와 검토를 행하는데 그 목적을 두고 있다. 분석에 있어서 우리나라 주요하천(낙동강, 한강 및 금강)의 월유량자료를 사용하였으며 분석을 간단하게 하기 위하여 자료를 Modular coefficient로 변환시켰다. 먼저 이변수 Gamma 분포형에 대한 월류량에의 적합성을 검정하였으며 이로부터 Gamma 분포형과 Monto Carlo 기법을 기초로 한 Gamma 모델에 의하여 월류량의 Simulation을 행하였다. 그 결과 기록치와 매우 근접한 Simulation 자료를 얻을 수 있었다.

The effect of average gamma energy on the external radiation dose has been analyzed. Cloud- and groundshine have been calculated according to the average gamma energy. Monte Carlo integration method was used for the calculation of cloudshine and Romberg quadrature method was adopted for groundshine. The analysis shows that the external gamma exposure is strong]y dependent on the gamma energy and the distribution of radiation sources.

In order to identify the genetic relationship analysis by acute and chronic gamma irradiation, Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana L.) were irradiated with 200 Gy of gamma-rays using gamma-irradiator (3,000 Ci; Nordion, Canada) and gamma-phytotron (400 Ci; Nordion, Canada) for acute and chronic irradiation, respectively. Genetic relationship among two acute gamma-irradiated plants (A1 and A24) and three chronic gamma-irradiated plants (C1W, C2W, C3W) were analyzed using the amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) technique compared with each non-irradiated plant. A total of 28 EcoRI and MseI primer combinations were used to screen 8 treatments by the ABI3130 capillary electrophoresis system. Amplified products by 28 primer sets showed 1,679 bands with an average of 51 bands per primer combination. Out of the total bands scored, 1,164 fragments were polymorphic bands, with different alleles existing among the treatments. The cluster analysis was performed using the UPGMA (Unweighted Pair Group Method using Arithmetic) in the computer program NTSYS-pc. In clustery analysis, acute gamma-irradiation showed higher genetic variation compared with chronic gamma-irradiation.

Directional solidification experiments were carried out at $1-300\;{\mu}m/sec$ solidification rates in the single crystal superalloy, CMSX 10. The solid/liquid interface morphology changed from planar to dendritic, and the dendrite spacing became finer as the solidification rate increased. The pool size of the ${\gamma}/{\gamma}'$ eutectic, formed between dendrites, reduced as the solidification rate increased. The phase formation temperatures, such as the solidus, liquidus and eutectic, were estimated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis. The morphology of the ${\gamma}/{\gamma}'$ phase, known to be eutectic, showed ${\gamma}'$ cells with a $\gamma$ intercellular network, and this ${\gamma}/{\gamma}'$ was composed of coarse and fine ${\gamma}/{\gamma}'$ regions. In this study, it is suggested that the ${\gamma}/{\gamma}'$ phase was a coupled peritectic.The solidification procedure of the ${\gamma}/{\gamma}'$ between dendrites is also discussed.

A growing body of evidence suggests that the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma ($PPAR{\gamma}$) gene may harbor targets for the chemoprevention of breast cancer. However, it is unclear whether polymorphisms in the $PPAR{\gamma}$ gene are associated with the susceptibility of breast cancer. We performed a candidate gene association study between $PPAR{\gamma}$ polymorphisms and breast cancer and a meta-analysis on the association of breast cancer with selected $PPAR{\gamma}$ variants. Six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the $PPAR{\gamma}$ gene were analyzed among 456 breast cancer patients and 461 controls from the National Cancer Center in Korea. Association between the polymorphisms and breast cancer risk were assessed using the Cochrane-Armitage test for trend and a multivariate logistic regression model. Two SNPs, rs3856806 and rs1801282, had been previously analyzed, thus enabling us to perform pooled analyses on their associations with breast cancer susceptibility. Our findings from the candidate gene association study showed no association between the $PPAR{\gamma}$ gene polymorphisms and breast cancer risk. A meta-analysis combining existing studies and our current study also refuted an association of the $PPAR{\gamma}$ gene with breast cancer. Our findings suggest that the $PPAR{\gamma}$ gene may not harbor variants that alter breast cancer susceptibility, although a moderate sample size might have precluded a decisive conclusion.

식물유전자원의 소재를 확대하고자 동진 1호 벼의 건조 종자에 감마선($^{60}Co$, 300 Gy)을 조사하여 선발한 조기출수 계통의 유전적 변이성을 분석하였다. 선발한 조기출수 계통의 $M_7$(2010년)과 $M_8$(2011년) 세대에서 평균 출수기는 대조품종인 동진 1호(중만생종) 보다 각각 11일(${\gamma}$-2 계통), 10일(${\gamma}$-5 계통), 6일(${\gamma}$-1 계통), 5일(${\gamma}$-3 계통), 4일(${\gamma}$-4 계통)이 빠르게 나타났다. ISSR 분석 결과, 선발계통의 유전적 다형성은 ${\gamma}$-2 계통 5.9%, ${\gamma}$-1 계통 7.5%, ${\gamma}$-4 계통 15.1%, ${\gamma}$-3 계통 15.3%, X-1 계통 19.4%, ${\gamma}$-5 계통 23.4%로 대조품종의 4.3% 보다 높게 나타나 방사선 조사로 DNA 수준에서 변이가 증가되었음을 확인하였다. 엽록체 DNA(rps16-trnK 영역) 분석 결과, 염기 길이는 대조 품종과 같은 664 bp인 반면, 총 5개 염기서열 영역에서 치환 변이가 발생하였고 그 중 6 bp 및 587 bp 영역의 변이는 선발 계통에서만 나타났다.

불균형 자료 분석에 대해서는 일찍이 Brown(1932)과 Yates(1934)의 연구 이에 Finney(1948), Stevens(1948), Henderson(1953), Kramer(1955)등 많은 사람들이 관심을 가지고 연구하였고 Searle(1971, 1977, 1981)은 R(v) 표기법으로 모형식의 상수적합에 의한 변동을 나타내었으며 Hocking과 Speed(1975), Speed와 Hocking (1976)이 사용한 제한들을 $\Sigma$ -, W-, O-restrictions라고 하였다. 또한 Speed등(1978)은 비가중평균법(method of unweighted means), 평균의 가중제곱법(method of weighted squares of means), 상수적합법 (method of fitting constants), Overall- Spiegel법, Henderson방법 등을 비교설명하고 Burdick 등(1974)은 각 변동을 기하학적으로 해석하려 하였다. 백(1987a,1987b)은 SAS 팩키지에 의한 변동을 설명하였고 장(1988)도 Searle(1977, 1981)의 방법을 이용하여 가설검정과 변동을 검토한바 있다. 본 연구에서는 여러 가지 모형에 대하여 $n_{ij} > 0, 또는 n_{ij} \geq 0$ 인 경우에 변동계산과 W-, $\Sigma$-, O- 제한 조건하에서의 변동과 가설을 재조명해 보고져 한다.

This study was conducted to derive the design rainfall by the consecutive duration using the at-site frequency analysis. Using the errors, K-S tests and LH-moment ratios, Log Pearson type 3 (LP3) and Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) distributions of Gamma and Non-Gamma Family, respectively were identified as the optimal probability distributions among applied distributions. Parameters of GEV and LP3 distributions were estimated by the method of L and LH-moments and the Indirect method of moments respectively. Design rainfalls following the consecutive duration were derived by at-site frequency analysis using the observed and simulated data resulted from Monte Carlo techniques. Relative root-mean-square error (RRMSE) and relative efficiency (RE) in RRMSE for the design rainfall derived by at-site analysis in the observed and simulated data were computed and compared. It has shown that at-site frequency analysis by GEV distribution using L-moments is confirmed as more reliable than that of GEV and LP3 distributions using LH-moments and Indirect method of moments in view of relative efficiency.
