  • Gel dosimeters have unique advantages in comparison with other dosimeters. Until now, these gels have been used in different radiotherapy techniques as a reliable dosimetric tool. Because dose distribution measurement is an important factor for appropriate treatment planning in different radiotherapy techniques, in this study, we evaluated the ability of the N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) polymer gel to record the dose distribution resulting from the mixed neutron-gamma field of boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). In this regard, a head phantom containing NIPAM gel was irradiated using the Tehran Research Reactor BNCT beam line, and then by a magnetic resonance scanner. Eventually, the $R_2$ maps were obtained in different slices of the phantom by analyzing T2-weighted images. The results show that NIPAM gel has a suitable potential for recording three-dimensional dose distribution in mixed neutron-gamma field dosimetry.

  • 본 연구에서는 혼합 확률밀도함수를 이용한 면적감소계수의 추정법을 제안한다. 기존 면적감소계수의 추정에는 동시간 강우자료가 필요하나 그런 자료를 충분히 구하기는 쉽지 않다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 방법은 보다 가용한 일 강우자료를 이용하는 방법으로 강우의 간헐성을 고려하기 위해 연속분포가 아닌 혼합분포를 이용한다. 본 연구에서는 혼합감마분포를 이용하여 금강유역의 면적감소계수를 추정하였으며, 그 결과 보다 쉽게 아울러 기존의 방법에 의 한 결과와 잘 대비되는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

  • Purpose - The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of gamma - irradiation on the effluent from food distribution in the large agricultural and marine products market. This study will contribute to the distribution process as well as the agricultural and fishery distribution facilities. Research design, data, and methodology - In order to reduce the odor, the smell was examined in the anaerobic digestion process by irradiating gamma rays to the wastewater of mixed food discharged from a large restaurant. An odor determination panel list was constructed to determine if the odor was present in the air dilution drainage and the odor concentration was analyzed by instrumental analysis. Results - It was confirmed that the sulfur content increased gradually from 3 months. Ammonia decreased from 33.57ppm at the initial measurement to 4.12 ppm at the end of the experiment. Methane production was highest at 100kGy when exposed to gamma rays of 0-200kGy at pH 12. In other words, it is considered that gamma irradiation doses are most effective at 100kGy and are suitable for large capacity wastewater treatment facilities in terms of economic feasibility. Conclusions - In pre-treatment of compound food wastewater, gamma irradiation is most cost effective when examined at 100kGy. The economic efficiency of the pre-treatment method by gamma irradiation is much higher than the wastewater treatment in the large-scale agricultural and marine products distribution market.

  • Solutions of $Cd^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$ and $Ni^{2+}$ were mixed with the solutions of hydroxycarboxylic acids such as salicylic, lactic and mandelic acids in the presence of cation exchange resin at room temperature. The distribution ratios of the metal ions between resin and solution were measured, using radioactive metal ions as tracer. From the observed variation of the distribution ratios with the acid anion concentrations, it was concluded that $Cd^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$ and $Ni^{2+}$ formed the one-to-one complexes with salicylate, lactate and mandelate ions in aqueous, 20 % ethanol-water and 20 % acetone-water solutions. The results of the present study indicated that the relative stabilities of the metal-acid complexes in solution increased in the order: $Cd^{2+}$ <$Co^{2+}$ <$Ni^{2+}$ complexes. Salicylate

  • The generalized linear mixed model(GLMM) is widely used in fitting categorical responses of clustered data. In the numerical approximation of likelihood function the normality is assumed for the random effects distribution; subsequently, the commercial statistical packages also routinely fit GLMM under this normality assumption. We may also encounter departures from the distributional assumption on the response variable. It would be interesting to investigate the impact on the estimates of parameters under misspecification of distributions; however, there has been limited researche on these topics. We study the sensitivity or robustness of the maximum likelihood estimators(MLEs) of GLMM for counts data when the true underlying distribution is normal, gamma, exponential, and a mixture of two normal distributions. We also consider the effects on the MLEs when we fit Poisson-normal GLMM whereas the outcomes are generated from the negative binomial distribution with overdispersion. Through a small scale Monte Carlo study we check the empirical coverage probabilities of parameters and biases of MLEs of GLMM.

  • TRIGA Mark-III 원자로에 설치된 조사시설에서 중성자-감마 혼합 방사선장의 상대적 선량분포 특성을 중성자와 감다 방사선에 대한 감응함수가 다른 한쌍의 열형광선량계를 사용하여 측정한 결과이다. 수평방향 및 수직방향의 거리에 따른 비교적 균일한 선량 분포를 공유한 지역은 조사실 바닥으로부터 약 40cm와 130cm의 높이데 있는 두 수평 평행판사이의 구역증 조사실쪽으로 반원통형으로 돌출된 알미늄 저수조표면에서 수평방향으로 100cm이상의 거리에 있는 지역에 한정됨이 관찰되었다. 그 이외의 지역은 급격한 선량구배 특성을 갖고 있었고 특히 반원통형 알미늄수조 표면근처와 조사실 콩크리트 차폐내벽근처에서 더욱 구배가 컸다.

  • In this study, plastic optical fiber sensors which can measure thermal neutron dose in a mixed neutron-gamma field are developed and characterized. Using $^{252}Cf$ and $^{60}Co$ sources, the scintillators suitable for thermal neutron detection, are tested and the scintillating lights generated from a plastic optical fiber sensor in the Kyoto University Critical Assembly (kuca) core are measured. Also, the distributions of thermal neutron and gamma-ray are measured in a mixed field as a function of the distance from the center of the reactor core at KUCA and the distribution of thermal neutron is obtained using a subtraction method. Sensitivity of the fiber-optic radiation sensor system is about 0.49 V/mW according to power of the KUCA core and its relative error is about 1.2 %.

  • This paper is intended to compare between the Bayesian estimates of hazard rate and the hazard rates of mixed distributions. In estimating hazard rates, especially when the MLE method is used, such difficulties as a lack of data and the existence of censored data make it difficult to estimate the rates. For this reason, the estimates of hazard rate based on the Bayesian approach are introduced. For the simplicity, the exponential and gamma distributions are adopted as a sampling distribution and its natural conjugate prior distribution, respectively.

  • 본 논문은 신호와 잡음이 혼합된 관측치로부터 신호 관측치를 분류하는 문제를 다룬다. 잡음은 가우시안 분포를 따르고 신호는 감마 분포를 따른다고 가정할 때 관측치의 분포는 가우시안과 감마의 혼합 분포를 따르게 된다. EM 알고리즘을 통해 혼합 모델의 모수를 추정하고 신호 및 잡음을 분류하는 것을 다중 가설 검정으로 간주하여 베이즈 오류를 바탕으로 분류를 위한 경계치를 설정한다. 제안하는 방법을 분광 데이터에 근거하여 철강 제품에서 개재물 유무를 검출하는 문제에 적용하였고 별도의 시뮬레이션 데이터를 통해 성능의 우수성을 보였다.
