  • We analyzed 0.5-45 keV data of NGC 3227 observed by Suzaku six times between 2008 October 28 and December 2. The count-count plot between the 0.5-3 keV and 3-10 keV bands exhibits a clear break, separating the data into bright and faint phases. Applying the difference spectrum method and time-averaged spectral fits to the phase data, we found the presence of two kinds of variable primary X-rays, (1) a hard primary component with ${\Gamma}{\sim}1.7$ dominating in the faint phase and (2) a soft primary continuum with ${\Gamma}{\sim}2.4$ appearing in the bright phase, both affected by partial absorption. Considering their timing and spectral characteristics, component (1) is presumably identical to a Compton continuum in the low/hard state, while component (2) may correspond to the hard tail emission in the high/soft state, or compact-jet emission. In that case, an accretion ow onto the central super massive black hole in NGC 3227 can be interpreted to include the two different states.

  • We present analysis results of Korean VLBI Network (KVN) four-band data for the highly variable blazar 3C 279. We measured the 22, 43, 86, and 129 GHz flux densities and spectral indices of the source using contemporaneous data taken over 5.6 years. We used the discrete correlation function to investigate correlations between the radio emission properties and those measured in the optical (2 × 1014 - 1.5 × 1015 Hz), X-ray (0.3-10 keV), and gamma-ray (0.1-300 GeV) bands. We found a significant correlation between the radio spectral index and gamma-ray flux without a time delay and interpreted the correlation using an extended jet scenario for blazar emission.

  • The secondary electron emission coefficient ${\gamma}$ of MgO single crystals according to the gas mixture ratio of Xe to Ne have been investigated by ${\gamma}-focused$ ion beam system. It is found that the MgO single crystals of (111) crystallinity has the highest ${\gamma}$ from 0.09(0.03) up to 0.16(0.04), while from 0.07(0.02) to 0.15(0.03) for (200) and from 0.06(0.01) to 0.13(0.02) for (220) crystallinity for operating Ne (Xe) ions ranging from 50eV to 200eV throughout this experiment. And it is found that the ${\gamma}$ ranged from 0.03 up to 0.06 for Ne-Xe mixtures are much smaller than those of 0.09 up to 0.16 for pure Ne ions under accelerating voltage ranged from 50V to 200V.

  • A substantial number of processes have been suggested as possible contributors to the extragalactic $\gamma$-ray background (EGRB). Yet another contribution to this background will be emission produced in hadronic interactions of cosmic-ray protons with the cluster thermal gas; this class of cosmic rays (CRs) has been shown to be responsible for the EUV emission in the Coma Cluster of galaxies. In this paper we assume the CRs in the Coma Cluster is prototypic of all clusters and derive the contribution to the EGRB from all clusters over time. We examine two different possibilities for the scaling of the CR flux with cluster size: the number density of the CRs scale with the number density of the thermal plasma, and alternatively, the energy density of the CRs scale with the energy density of the plasma. We find that in all scenarios the EGRB produced by this process is sufficiently low that it will not be observable in comparison with other mechanisms that are likely to produce an EGRB.

  • Spud angle( ${\alpha}$ ) and fuel injection angle ( ${\beta}$ ) have strong influence on spud type gas burner combustion. A wide range of flame stability is shown at ${\alpha}=60^{\circ}$, but at ${\alpha}=30^{\circ}$ is narrow. Optimum condition of flame stability swirl angle( ${\gamma}$ ) is $40^{\circ}$. At condition of ${\alpha}=30^{\circ}$ flame shape is relatively narrow and long, on the other hand, at ${\alpha}=60^{\circ}$ flame is wide and short. Regardless of spud angle, maximum flame temperature shows in the range of Z=200mm and R=0mm. Flame temperature, on the whole, is high at ${\alpha}=45^{\circ}$. At ${\alpha}=45^{\circ}$, NOx emission is higher than other conditions that may be concerned with flame temperature. At ${\beta}=60^{\circ}$ and ${\gamma}=40^{\circ}$, NOx emission is reduced due to fuel injection angle.

  • Study of the ion-induced-, photo- and exo-electron emission from a Sc doped MgO protective layer has been performed. It is established that doping with Sc increases photo- and especially exo-electron emission from MgO films while the ion-induced electron emission coefficient $\gamma$ stays unchanged.

  • The properties of $Al_2O_3$ thermoluminescent phosphor have been observed to apply for gamma dosimetry in vivo. Glow peaks at 380, 420, 490 kelvin temperature with emission in the blue region have been detected and calculated as 1.4 eV the activation energy by means of heat response rising time method. Sensitization and supralinearity in $Al_2O_3$ phosphor could be consistently explained by the deep trap model. Studies of the thermoluminescence growth rate with gamma ray exposure showed linearly to $10^4$ Roentgen and then supralinear rate detected 1.2 power of exposure dose sensitization of $Al_2O_3$ is described five times more than TLD-100 and the fading time is shorter and then tried to apply for gamma dosimetry in vivo.

  • The tomographic gamma scanner (TGS) method, a further of extension of segmented gamma scanner (SGS), is most accurate and precise for assaying heterogeneous drummed nuclear radioactive waste; it is widely used in nuclear power plants and radioactive waste storages and disposal sites. The transmission and emission images are reconstructed by image reconstruction techniques. In the paper, the principle of TGS is introduced; image reconstruction techniques are discussed as well; finally, it is demonstrated that TGS method performance.
