Purpose： Dimensions of body RF coil composed of 4 rectangular loops for low field open MRI hav been optimized. The design result shows the field inhomogeneity of B1 field below 1.5 dB in the 25 cm DSV can be achieved. Method： Our low field RF coil is composed of 4 rectangular strip loops that assumed to b located at both the bottom and top sides of permanent magnet. All the loops have identica dimensions and current amplitude. First, the inductance of a loop is calculated. Second, the current distribution on the coil strip is calculated by using finite difference time doma method (FDTD). It takes as much as 4 days in FDTD simulation for low frequency RF field That's why the electrical dipole radiation method is used for simulation. With the curren distribution obtained using the FDTD simulation, for various dimensional parameters th magnetic field has been calculated by electric dipole radiation method, where the curren elements are regarded as electric dipole radiation sources. The field pattern from electri dipole radiation is almost same as that from FDTD simulation. Also, it is same as that fro the result using the Viot-Savart equation, for far tone radiation term becomes zero and th Bl field amplitude of near one radiation is the same as the B field due to static current The field homogeneity is calculated in the 25 cm BSV.

Ornithine decarboxylase(ODC) is an indicate enzyme in carcinogenesis. We divided Sprague Dawley rats into six groups: control, electric field exposure, X-ray only irradiation, X-ray irradiation with electric field exposure group, Sr-90 injected group and Sr-90 and electric field complex exposure group. The ODC activity was measured in rat's bone marrow cell every week. The results were summarized as follows: The ODC activitied was increased in X-ray irradiated, Sr-90 injected and Sr-90 and electric field complex exposed group as compared with that of control(p<0.05). The ODC activity was increased comparing that of control neither in X-ray and electric field complex exposed group nor electric field only exposed group. This result suggests that the electric field doesn't have myeloid carcinogenicity and myeloid cancer incidence caused by ionized radiation is suppressed by electric field exposure.

In this paper, the single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) featuring three different p-well implantation doses (∅_p-well) of 5.0 × 10¹², 4.0 × 10¹², and 3.0 × 10¹² atoms/cm² under the identical device layouts were fabricated and characterized to evaluate the effects of field enhanced mechanisms on primary dark pulses due to the maximum electric field. From the I-V curves, the breakdown voltages were found as 23.2 V, 40.5 V, and 63.1 V with decreasing ∅_p-well, respectively. By measuring DCRs as a function of temperature, we found a reduction of approximately 8% in the maximum electric field lead to a nearly 72% decrease in the DCR at V_ex = 5 V and T = 25 ℃. Also, the activation energy increased from 0.43 eV to 0.50 eV, as decreasing the maximum electric field. Finally, we discuss the importance of electric field engineering in reducing the field-enhanced mechanisms contributing to the DCR in SPADs and the benefits on the SPADs related to different types of radiation detection applications.

In this paper, we studied the emissive electric field due to the communication signal and the noise in medium voltage power-line. There are many types of conductive noise in power-line channel, which gives rise to radiation. And if the DMT carrier signal was excited, the current by this term was added to the current by noise and, generate radiation. We calculated input impedance by means of signal input network model of medium voltage power-line channel for calculating these currents. We calculated currents by input impedance and, calculated the emissive electric field by this calculated currents. From the measurement results, we knew that the measured results are very similar to the calculated results and if the input signal power level was higher than -40 dBm, the emissive electric field exceeds FCC radiation limit level 69.5 dB$\mu$V/m.

The computational fluid dynamic analysis has been conducted for the thermo-chemical flow field in an arcjet thruster with mono-propellant Hydrazine (N2H4) as a working fluid. The Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations are modified to analyze compressible flows with the thermal radiation and electric field. The Maxwell equation, which is loosely coupled with the fluid dynamic equations through the Ohm heating and Lorentz forces, is adopted to analyze the electric field induced by the electric arc. The chemical reactions of Hydrazine were assumed to be infinitely fast due to the high temperature field inside the arcjet thruster. The chemical and the thermal radiation models for the nitrogen-hydrogen mixture and optically thick media respectively, were incorporated with the fluid dynamic equations. The results show that performance indices of the arcjet thruster with 1kW arc heating are improved by amount of 180% in thrust and 200% in specific impulse more than frozen flow. In addition to thermo-physical process inside the arcjet thruster is understood from the flow field results.

A Radiation Alarm Monitor has been developed and manufactured in order to protect radiation workers from over-exposure. A visual and audible alarm system has been attached to initiate evacuation when accident occurs such as an unexpected change of radiation level or an over-exposure. The Radiation Alarm Monitor installed with microprocessor can record the information of radiation field change between 90 min. before the alarm and 30 min. after the alarm and also provide the data to an IBM compatible computer to analyze the accidents and to set a counterplan. It features a wide detection range of radiation field(10 mR/h-100 R/h), radiation field data storage, portability, high precision (${\pm}5%$) due to self-calibration function, and adaption of a powerful alarm system. According to ANSI N42.17A, the most stringent test standards, performance tests were carried out under various conditions of temperature, humidity, vibration, and electromagnetic wave hindrance at Korea Research Institute of Standards & Science (KRISS). As a result, the Radiation Alarm Monitor passed all tests.

Maintenance on the water chamber of steam generator during outage in nuclear power plants (NPPs) has a likelihood of high radiation exposure to whole body of workers even short time period due to the high radiation exposure rates. In particular, it is expected that hands would receive the highest radiation exposure because of its contact with radiation materials. In this study, characteristic analysis of inhomogeneous radiation fields for contact operations was conducted using thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) readouts from the application tests of two-dosimeter algorithm to Korean NPPs in 2004. It is regarded that inhomogeneous radiation fields for contact operations in NPPs are dominated by high energy photons. In addition, field tests for workers who participated in maintenance on the steam generator during outage at Ulchin NPPs in 2009 and pressure tube replacement at Wolsong NPPs in 2009 were conducted to analyze radiation fields and to estimate the extremity dose. As a result, radiation fields were dominated by high energy photons.

The scattered electric field from a multilayered circular dielectric cylinder is caculated. Approximate boundary condition used in on-surface radiation boundary condition(OSRC) method has been applied to all the boundary surface of N-layered dielectric cylinder. It was assumed that scattered electric field at inner boundary surface in one region transmitted to the adjacent region at outer boundary surface. In the whole region, the unknown coefficients of electric field are acquired by the given incident electric field with ease. Electric field distribution at each boundary surface and the scattered electric field in free space are taken with the calculated unknown coefficients. the results obtainted were compared with those results that were used by regular surface boundary condition.

Accelerated electric charge is the source of electromagnetic waves. If electric charge is accelerated, the electric field set up by the electric charge is also accelerated. A changing electric field produces a changing magnetic field and the changing magnetic field produces an electric field and the process is self-perpetuating. The lines of B as well as E thus occurred form closed loops that move away from the source with speed c. These traveling electric and magnetic fields. which are strongly interdependent, constitute electromagnetic radiation. All the properties of electromagnetic waves can be deduced mathematically from Maxwell's equations.
