Microwaves are high frequency radiation capable of generating very rapid, uniform and efficient heating of textile material. Microwave heated dyeing of polyester fabric was tried with different solvent systems, irradiation time and dye concentration. Microwave fixation methods were used with 100% water,30% urea, EG and DMF, respectively, pad-baths in which the padded fabrics were exposed over a heated or boiling water bath to maintain sufficient moisture content during irradiation. In order to ascertain the relation between the dyeing property of polyester fabric and the microwave irradiation condition caused by microwave heating, the K/S values and fastness properties of dyed fabrics such as light, washing and sublimation fastness were measured.

We prepared semi-insulating CdTe for radiation detectors by isothermal annealing of single crystals grown by Bridgeman technique in a sealed quartz container filled with Sn vapor. The resistivity of CdTe:Sn samples thus obtained was of order of $10^{10}Ohm{\cdot}cm$ at room temperature with electrons lifetime of $2{\times}10^{-8}$ s, which is appropriate for the applications desired. Analysis of electric transport characteristics depending on temperature, sample thickness and voltage applied revealed the presence of traps with concentration of about $(4-5){\times}10^{12}cm^{-3}$ with the corresponding energy level at 0.8 - 0.9 eV counted from the bottom of conduction band. The conductivity was determined by electron injection from electrodes in space charge limited current mode.

A novel ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin derivative (CCD-C) was synthesized with chitosan and carboxymethyl-${\beta}$-cyclodextrin. Its structure was characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectra analysis, and X-ray diffraction analysis. The adsorption properties for guanosine 5'-monophosphate, cytidine 5'-monophosphate and uridine 5'-monophosphate were studied. Experimental results demonstrated that CCD-C had higher adsorption capability for guanosine 5'-monophosphate, and that the adsorption capacity for guanosine 5'-monophosphate was 74.20mg/g. The adsorption capacity was greatly influenced by pH, time and temperature. The introduction of chitosan enhanced the adsorption ability and adsorption selectivity of ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin for guanosine 5'-monophosphate. This novel derivative of chitosan is expected to have wide applications in the separation, concentration and analysis of nucleotides in biological samples.

The effect of non-thermal plasma on diffusion flames in co-flow jets has been studied experimentally by adopting a dielectric barrier discharge technique. The generation of streamers was enhanced with a flame due to increased reduced electric fields by high temperature burnt gas and the abundance of ions in the flame region. The effect of streamers on flame behavior reveals that the flame length was significantly decreased as the applied voltage increased and the yellow luminosity by the radiation of soot particles was also significantly reduced. The formation of PAH and soot was influenced appreciably by the non-thermal plasma, while the flame temperature and the concentration of major species were not influence much with the plasma generation. The results demonstrated that the application of non-thermal plasma can be a viable technique in controlling soot generation in flames with low power consumption in the order of 1 W.

Combustion behavior of pulverized coal particles in a post-combustion gas reactor was investigated. Radiation emission from coal particles were analyzed by direct photograph and $CH^*$ radical chemiluminescence intensity. Coal particles were sampled during the combustion and were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and cross section micrograpy technique. Two coal types(one bituminous and one subbituminous coals typically used in the Korean power plants) were tested at typical combustion environment. Gas flow conditions were controlled to represent temperature and oxygen concentration. Experimental data were discussed along with conceptual descriptions of pulverized coal combustion, where particle heat-up, release and combustion of volatiles, and char combustion were sequentially progressed.

The oxygen concentration of primary oxidizer is decided under 10% due to flammable risk. It can be a spontaneous combustion inside burner or tube if the excess oxygen is added to primary oxidizer in Oxy-PC burner. In this case, the rest oxygen which can not be injected to primary oxidizer should be injected to another port. If added it to a second oxidizer, the ignition is unstable at outlet of burner. Accordingly an extra lancing port is needed to insert into the burner unlike other common air mode. And the flame formation and combustion characteristic differ from lancing port position. Therefore we observed flame formation which has stable combustion characteristic according to the shape and position of lancing port.

A new method for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of vitro-cultured bacteria on an ordinary fluorescence spectrometer was developed. The viable bacteria reduced 3-(4,5 dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) to produce insoluble particles that displayed intense resonance scattering light. The assay showed a linear relationship between the number of viable bacteria and the intensity of resonance scattering light. Dead bacteria were unable to reduce MTT. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus exposed to flavonoids from Marchantia convoluta showed a flavonoids concentration-dependent inhibition of the ability to reduce MTT. In the assay, less than 12 h was required to attain susceptibility results and fewer bacteria were utilized than in traditional methods. The RLS technique could, in combination with the MTT assay, be a rapid and sensitive measuring method to determine the in vitro activity of new antimicrobials.

The degradation of atrazine was explored using UV alone, $H_2O_2/UV$, oxalate/UV and oxalate-assisted $H_2O_2/UV$. The addition of oxalate to the $H_2O_2/UV$ (oxalate-assisted $H_2O_2/UV$) process was the most effective method for the degradation of atrazine. The overall kinetic rate constant was split into the direct oxidation due to photolysis and that by the radicals from hydrogen peroxide or oxalate. In semi-empirical terms, the initial concentration of hydrogen peroxide had a greater contribution than that of oxalate for atrazine oxidation.

Surface reaction occurs at a certain surface temperature when a catalyst is heated up in a reactive mixture. If homogeneous ignition does not occur, a steady state is observed because the heat produced by the surface reaction is balanced with the heat loss caused by convection, conduction and radiation. The present paper treats the effects of pressure on the surface temperature at the steady state. Hydrogen and oxygen are used as reactants and nitrogen as an inert gas. A spherical platinum catalyst of 1.5 mm in diameter is sustained in the chamber with two wires of 0.1 mm in diameter. As results, there exists a maximum steady temperature at a certain relative hydrogen concentration which increases with total pressure. At the steady state, it can be approximated that the heat release is estimated by the mass transfer considering the effect of natural convection. The experimental results are explained qualitatively by the approximation.

Site characterization for decommissioning Kori Unit 1 is ongoing in South Korea after 40 years of successful operation. Kori Unit 1's containment building is assumed to be mostly radioactively contaminated, and therefore radiation exposure management and detailed contamination investigation are required for decommissioning and dismantling it safely. In this study, site-specific Derived Concentration Guideline Levels (DCGLs) were derived using the residual radioactivity risk evaluation tool, RESRAD-BUILD code. A conceptual model of containment building for Kori Unit 1 was set up and limited occupational worker building inspection scenario was applied. Depending on the source location, the maximum contribution source and exposure pathway of each radionuclide were analyzed. The contribution of radionuclides to dose and exposure pathways, by source location, is expected to serve as basic data in the assessment criteria of survey areas and classification of impact areas during further decommissioning and decontamination of sites.
