In this study, several poly(styrene-co-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate)-grafted ETFE films were prepared by a simultaneous irradiation grafting method. After mixing of styrene/(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate(TMSPM) monomers with various solvents, the effects of various irradiation conditions such as total dose, dose rate and monomer concentration on the degree of grafting of the prepared membranes were investigated. Results indicated that the higher degree of grafting was obtained when acetone was used as a solvent. The formation of poly(styrene-co-TMSPM) grafts on the ETFE films was verified using FTIR spectrometry and the distribution of the poly(PTMSPM) graft polymer over the cross-section of the grafted film was confirmed using SEM-EDX instrument.

In this study we assessed the influences of ultraviolet (UV) light B radiation on epidermal cells by apoptotic sunburn cell (SBC) and the effect of green tea treatment on the inhibition of SBC formation in SKH1-hr mouse. The extent of changes following $200mJ/cm^2$ (0.5 mW/sec) was studied at 0, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 or 36 hours after exposure. SBCs were recognized by 3 hours after irradiation. There was tendency to increase from 3 hours to 24 hours and decrease from then to 36 hours after irradiation. The mice that received 0, 25, 50, 100, 200, 400 or $800mJ/cm^2$ of UVB were examined 24 hours after irradiation. The SBCs were induced as the radiation dose increases from 0 to $200mJ/cm^2$. A further increase of radiation dose has little further effect. The frequency of UVB ($200mJ/cm^2$)-induced SBC formation was reduced by intraperitoneal injection of green tea extract (p<0.01).

The effects of $Ga^+$ ion irradiation on the magnetic properties of the $Co_{73}Pt_{27}-TiO_2$ perpendicular magnetic recording media were investigated. As $Ga^+$ ion dose increased from $1\times10^{15}ions/cm^2\;to\;30\times10^{15}ions/cm^2$, the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy was degraded and no longer observed above $20\times10^{15}ions/cm^2$ dose. The deterioration of the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and ferromagnetic properties can be attributed to the concentration profile change due to Ga+ ion implantation. The magnetic islands of $70\times70nm^2\;and\;100\times100nm^2$ size were successfully fabricated with $Ga^+$ ion irradiation.

Polycarbonate (PC) films have been irradiated with various kinds of ions according to energy and dose. Change of the optical transmittance and chemical characteristics were confirmed by UV-VIS and FTIR (ATR) spectroscopy respectively. These UV-A block in 400 nm was variable from 10 to 100% according to energy and doses. Surface electrical resistance of PC film irradiated by ion beam was $10^6-10^{13}{\Omega}/cm^2$, which reveal variation of conduction. Contact angle of film irradiated by ion beam was decreased than the pristine film. Polymer surface morphology was examined by means of atomic force microscopy (AFM). As expected, degradation of polymer film was higher after irradiation with heavier Xe ions but the roughness in the polymer surface morphology were more pronounced for Ar ions. This observed effect can be explained by stronger compaction of polymer surface layer in the case of Xe irradiation, connected with a reduction of free volume available.

The changes in physicochemical properties of gamma irradiated porks were investigated during storage at different temperature and periods. TBA values increased according to the increment of irradiation dose levels. TBA values of nonirradiated and irradiated samples drastically increased with storage period and temperatures at both $5^{\circ}C\;and\;-20^{\circ}C$. The acid value of porks stored at $5^{\circ}C$ was increased rapidly with the elapse of storage period in both nonirradiated and irradiated samples. However, the value decreased with increasing irradiation dose levels. VBN values increased more rapidly in nonirradiated samples than in irradiated samples with the storage period. Especially, VBN value of nonirradiated pork was four times higher than that of 3 kGy-irradiated one. No significant differences in the composition of fatty acids were observed in gamma irradiated samples. Free amino acids were changed with storage periods, but were not significantly affected by gamma irradiation.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of gamma irradiation on the microbiological and sensory characteristics of frozen Bibimbap. Frozen Bibimbap vegetables were contaminated by microbial levels of $2.70{\sim}6.67log\;CFU\;g^{-1}$ in total aerobic bacteria. Frozen Bibimbap was contaminated by microbial levels of $4.8log\;CFU\;g^{-1}$ in total aerobic bacteria, but microorganisms in gamma-irradiated samples at above 25 kGy were not found at detection limit less then $1log\;CFUg^{-1}$. Sensory characteristics of the gamma-irradiated Bibimbap were decreased depending upon the irradiation dose, and sensory scores of the samples irradiated with doses higher than 10 kGy were significantly decreased. Therefore, the application of combination of the various food processing technology should be considered for the sterilization of Bibimbap, without any deterioration of quality occurred by high dose irradiation.

This research was conducted to investigate changes in quality characteristics of gamma-irradiated chickens during storage at different temperature and periods. In heme pigment(myoglobin) content, metmyoglobin content of chicken stored at 5$^{\circ}C$ was not affected by gamma irradiation but slightly increased with the increase in storage period. All samples stored at -20$^{\circ}C$ were no different in heme pigment content between nonirradiated and irradiated samples and slightly decreased as the freezing storage period increased. The SDS electrophoresis patterns were not significantly different between nonirradiated and irradiated samples. All samples stored in at 5$^{\circ}C$ showed a prominent breakdown of molecular weights ranging from 97,000 to 116,000 Daltons after 8 weeks' storage. TBA values increased according to the increment of irradiation dose level and storage period at both temperatures, 5$^{\circ}C$and -20$^{\circ}C$. However, The acid value decreased with increasing irradiation dose level. In the VBN value, nonirradiated chickens were four times higher than that of 7 kGy-irradiated one.

Low-salt fermented pollack Theragra chalcogramma roe (Myungran Jeotgal, MJ), a traditional Korean fermented seafood, was prepared using a commercially available method and irradiated using gamma rays (0-10.0 kGy) to investigate the effect of gamma irradiation (GI) on food quality. After irradiation with 2.5 kGy gamma rays, the number of viable cells in MJ was reduced by one log compared to that observed in non-irradiated MJ, and no living cells were detected after 7.5 kGy GI. Though up to 2.5 kGy GI had no effect on color quality, over 7.5 kGy GI resulted in significantly poor quality MJ surface color. Saturated fatty acid contents increased slightly in irradiated MJ, while those of polyenes and monoenes decreased slightly as the GI dose increased. Exposure of MJ to GI had no effect on the free amino acid and mineral composition. These results demonstrated that the appropriate GI dose for MJ ranged from 2.5 to 5.0 kGy, which may be recommended for industrial application.

Commercial red ginseng, which was manufactured for the past 6 years, showed a microbial level of 2.0${\times}$10\ulcorner to 7.2${\times}$10\ulcorner CFU/g of total aerobic bacteria and molds. The moisture content of commercial products was ranged from 13.54 to 17.26%, which were higher than that of the product standard, 14%. Irradiation of red ginseng at 2.5 kGy resulted in the reduction of microorganisms contaminated to below the detectable level. Irradiation prevented mold growth on red ginseng during storage at RH 90% and 25$^{\circ}C$; molds were found at the 72nd day after storage in 2.5 kGy-irradiated sample, while 41st day in the nonirradiated control. At this point of time, irradiated samples showed an increased level of moisture content required for mold growth, 22.2% in 2.5 kGy group and 21.5% in control group. Based on the above results, microbiological qualities of red ginseng could be effectively improved by the optimum dose of irradiation, which was expected to secure the quality stability of red ginseng during distribution under the high-moistured conditions.

This experiment was carrid out to investigate whether Aloe arborescens had a radioprotective effect in cobalt-60 gamma irradiated(600 and 700ra4s) mice. The survival ratio of mice for 30 days and blood pictures were investigated. 1. The survival ratios of 600ra4s gamma Irradiated(dose rate 50rads/min.) in pre-irradiation aloe administered group(A), post-irradiation aloe administered group(B) and control group were 73.3%, 72.3% and 63.3%, and those of 700ra4s groups were 63.3%, 60.0% and 51.7%, respectively. 2. The total leucocyte counts of aloe administered groups were less decreased and more rapidly recovery to normal level than those of control group. 3. The lymphocyte counts were rapidly decreased on the 1st day after irradiation in all experimental groups than those of control group. 4. The recovery effects of total leucocyte counts of pre-irradiation aloe administered groups were superior to those of post-irradiation aloe groups and control group.
