  • Radiation has stochastic aspects in its generation, its choice of interaction mode during traveling in media, and its impact on living bodies. In certain circumstances, like in high dose environments resulting from low-LET radiation, the variance in its impact on a target volume is negligible. On the contrary, in low dose environments, especially when they are attributed to high-LET radiation, the impact on the target carries with it a large variance. This variation is more significant for smaller target volumes. Microdosimetric techniques, which have been developed to estimate the distribution of radiation energy deposited to cellular and subcellular-sized targets, contrast with macrodosimetric techniques which count only the average value. Since cells and DNA compounds are the critical targets in human bodies, microdosimetry, or dose estimation by microscopic approach, helps one better analyze the biological effects of radiation on the human body. By utilizing microbeam systems designed for individual cell irradiation, scientists have discovered that human cells exhibit radiosensitive reactions without being hit themselves (bystander effect). During the past 10 or more years, a new therapeutic protocol using discontinuous multiple micro-slit beams has been investigated for its clinical application. It has been suggested that the beneficial bystander effect is the essence of this protocol.

  • Purpose - The purpose of the study was to investigate restaurants increasing seaweed of marine products and to let consumers live healthy and happy lives and to discuss increase of seaweeds consumption. The purpose of the study was to give consumers good food and to live healthy and happy life and to elevate life quality and to produce added value by increase of consumption of seaweeds such as laver, brown seaweed, tangle and gracilaria and others and to give economic advantage. The seaweed could be produced in large quantity without spending of much money in accordance with demand to make use of it at restaurants. Research design, data, and Methodology - The author visited restaurant businessmen at Suwon, Anyang, Hwaseong and Yongin to investigate low sales by in-depth interview. The study investigated Kodari-jorim restaurants that made use of laver ssam for side dish. The subject was HS distributors to let restaurant keepers think of seaweeds and replacement of vegetable by seaweed. Results - Women customers who thought of health and diet usually selected menu at the restaurants not to appeal. Conclusions - Menu with high quality seaweeds (low calory, satiety and health) can satisfy women customers thinking much of health and diet to increase consumption of seaweeds. The study was exploratory to investigate in qualitative and quantitative way in the future.

  • Let f : ${\mathbb{R}}{\rightarrow}{\mathbb{C}}$. We consider the Hyers-Ulam stability of Jensen type functional inequality $$|f(px+qy)-Pf(x)-Qf(y)|{\leq}{\epsilon}$$ in the half planes {(x, y) : $kx+sy{\geq}d$} for fixed d, k, $s{\in}{\mathbb{R}}$ with $k{\neq}0$ or $s{\neq}0$. As consequences of the results we obtain the asymptotic behaviors of f satisfying $$|f(px+qy)-Pf(x)-Qf(y)|{\rightarrow}0$$ as $kx+sy{\rightarrow}{\infty}$.

  • In order to investigate the relationship between HIV / AIDS and the malformed entertainment industry caused by the prostitution after the prostitution law, this paper visualizes the number of entertainment industry relative to the population density and the number of infected persons using the R program. Also, let's try to grasp the cause of whether any unexpected variable acts via correlation and whether the numerical value of HIV / AIDS-infected person is high in the vicinity of a secret store due to external factors. therefore, In order to create a healthy society, let us examine the goals and attitudes that we should aim for big data analysis through R, and discuss the areas that need further research in the future.

  • An easy learning elevator originated is opened to compare the existed teaming equipment, and it had a high studied efficiency that the sequence control circuit can open and close with the wire. The structure of equipment to be controlled from the first floor to the fifth floors is demostrated by the constructive apparatus with the lamps to express the function of the open-close of the door according to the cage moving with a mechanical actuation of the forward reverse breaker and the motor of load, and the mechanical actuation of hand-operation control components of push-button S/W and L/S and relay etc. These components let connect each other in order to control of the elevator function with the auto program and the designed sequence control circuit. Consequently the cage could go and come till 1∼5 steps with an auto program of the elevator and the sequence control circuit. The sequence control circuit is controlled by the step of forward and reverse to follow as that the sensor function of L/S1 ∼ L/S5 let posit with the control switchs of S/W1 ∼ S/W5 of PLC testing panel and switchs of S/W1 ∼ S/W5 installed on the transparent acryl plate of the frame. In here, improved apparatus is the hand-auto operation combined learning equipment to study the principle and technique of the originate sequence control circuit and the auto program of PLC.

  • The dependence of cell survival on exposure dose and the duration of the liquid-holding recovery (LHR) was obtained for diploid yeast cells irradiated with ionizing radiation of different linear energy transfer (LET) and recovering from radiation damage without and with various concentrations of cisplatin - the most widely used anticancer drug. The ability of yeast cells to recover from radiation damage was less effective after cell exposure to high-LET radiation, when cells were irradiated without drug. The increase in cisplatin concentration resulted in the disappearance of this difference whereas the fraction of irreversible damage was permanently enlarged independently of radiation quality. The probability of cell recovery was shown to be constant for various conditions of irradiation and recovery. A new mechanism of cisplatin action was suggested according with which the inhibition of cell recovery after exposure to ionizing radiations was completely explained by the production of irreversible damage.

  • In recent years, a.c servo motors have been gradually replacing d.c sevo motors in various high-performance demanded aplications such as machine tools and industrial robots. In particular, the high-performance slip-frequency control of an induction motor, which is often called the vector control, is considered one of the best a.c drive. In this paper, the transient state equation and vector control algrithms of an induction motor are described mathematically by using the two-axis theory(d-q coordinates). According to the result of these algorithms, we scheme the speed control system for an induction type ac servo motor in which vector control is adopted to give tha a.c motor high performance. Motor drive is a PWM inverter using power MOS-FET, and is controlled in order to let the actual input current of the motor track the current reference obtained from a microcomputer(8086 cpu). Driving experiments are performed in the range of 0 to 3000 rpm, and it is verified that high speed response is possible.

  • Mammography is considered the single most important diagnostic tool in the early detection of breast cancer. Today's dedicated mammographic equipment, specially designed x-ray screen/film combinations, coupled with controlled film processing, produces excellent image quality and can detect very low contrast small lesions. In mammography, it is most important to produce consistent high-contrast, high-resolution images at the lowest radiation dose consistent with high image quality. Some of the major technical development milestones that have let to today's high quality in mammographic imaging are reviewed. Both the American College of Radiology Mammography Accreditation Program and the Mammography Quality Standards Act have significant impact on the improvement of the technical quality of mammographic images in the United States and worldwide. A most recent development in digital mammography has opened up avenues for improving diagnosis.

  • Chromosome rearrangement induced by bleomycin were identified by fluorescence in situ hybridization with probe for chromosome 4. The frequency of color junctions, translocations, dicentric and acenttic fragments increased with bleomycin dose. Different types of balanced translocation and dicentric were scored and compared. The frequency of cells exhibiting multiple aberration was higher compared to that of cells exposed to Gamma radiation suggesting that effect of bleomycin might be similar to that of high LET radiation.
