Renewable energy sources based on solar radiation, wind energy, geothermal energy, and biomass energy have now reached the level of industrial application. A new way to generate electricity using low-potential heat is to install a hydro-steam turbine. In hydro-steam turbines, hot water is supplied directly to turbine rotor nozzles without prior separation into steam and water in separators, which significantly increases the efficiency of hot water energy use. Such turbines are suggested to be used as autonomous energy sources in geothermal heating systems, heating water boilers and cooling systems of chemical reactors, metallurgical furnaces, etc. The authors conclude that the installation of hydro-steam turbines in heating plants and process boiler plants can also be effective if the used exhaust steam-water mixture at the turbine outlet is used to heat the network water or as return water.

강내 근접치료(intracavitary brachytherapy)에서 다른 고선량률 $^{192}Ir$ 선원의 기하학적 특성으로 인한 선량분포의 차이를 비교 및 분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 Nucletron사에서 제작된 microSelectron-v1 (classic) 선원이 2014년 이후로 판매가 종료되면서 새로운 microSelectron-v2 (new) 선원과의 선량분포 차이를 치료계획시스템을 이용하여 비교 및 분석하였다. 두 선원에서 획득된 선량분포를 비교하기 위하여 point A, point B, ICRU 방광 및 직장의 기준점을 분석인자로 사용하였다. 선원과 가까운 거리에서는 microSelectron-v2 선원의 반경선량함수(radial dose function)가 microSelectron-v1 선원 보다 최대 2.6% 높았다. 선원으로부터 거리가 1, 3, 그리고 5 cm의 비등방성함수(anisotropy function)는 $20^{\circ}$ <${\theta}$ < $165^{\circ}$에서 두 선원 간에 2% 이내에서 잘 일치하였다. 다만, 거리가 0.25 cm에서 ${\theta}$ < $20^{\circ}$ 구간에서는 두 선원 간 최대 27%의 차이를 보였으며, 거리가 1, 3, 그리고 5 cm에서 ${\theta}$ > $170^{\circ}$ 구간에서는 두 선원 간 각각 13%, 10%, 그리고 7% 차이를 보였다. 두 선원을 이용한 치료계획에서는 point A, point B, 방광에 들어가는 선량의 차이는 없었으며, ICRU에서 권고하는 직장에 들어가는 선량 지점은 microSelectron-v2 선원이 microSelectron-v1선원보다 평균 0.65%, 최대 약 1%까지 높게 평가되었다. 두 선원 간의 선량분포 차이는 주로 선원의 기하학적 차이와 선원을 감싸고 있는 스테인리스 스틸(stainless steel) 캡슐의 두께 차이로 발생되지만 두 선원에서의 선량분포 차이는 1% 이내이므로 새로운 모델의 선원으로 교체하여 사용하더라도 근접치료에서의 선량분포는 임상적으로 크지 않을 것으로 판단된다.

시판 혼합조미료(SS-1, SS-2)를 시료로 하여 조사선원(감마선, 전자선) 및 조사선량(0-20 kGy)에 따른 ESR spectrum의 특성을 비교하고, 방사선조사 유래의 signal에 대한 parameter를 분석하여 조사여부 판별을 뒷받침하는 자료를 확인하였다. 그 결과, 방사선 조사된 조미료 시료에서는 조사선원에 상관없이 특이한 free radical의 ESR signal을 보여주었다. 이 signal은 g-value가 2.031, 2.021, 2.017, 2.009, 2.002, 1.990 및 1.980인 크고 작은 7개의 peak를 지닌 crystalline sugar 유래의 multicomponent radical로 확인되었다. 그러나 방사선 처리되지 않은 두 시료(SS-1, SS-2)는 모두 매우 낮은 강도의 singlet line의 형태의 spectrum을 나타내어 비조사구와 조사구의 구별이 분명하였다. 조사선원과 선량에 따른 signal intensity를 비교한 결과, 동일한 측정조건에서 모든 조사선량에서 전자선 시료가 감마선시료보다 더 높은 강도를 나타내었으며, 조사선량의 증가에 따라 선형적으로 증가하였다($R^2=0.9916{\sim}0.9973$). 두 시료에서 방사선 조사 유래의 spectra는 조사선원 및 조사선량에 관계없이 g-value와 signal을 나타내는 자장영역은 거의 일정하였으며, 주요 signals($g_2=2.021$, $g_4=2.009$, $g_5=2.002$, $g_6=1.990$)의 강도 역시 조사선량에 따라 증가하였다($R^2=0.8243{\sim}0.9929$).

Objectives: Unprotected leisure time exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun or artificial tanning beds is the most important environmental risk factor for melanoma, a malignant skin cancer with increasing incidences over the past decades. The aim of the present study was to assess the impact of skin health information provided by several sources and different publishing issues on knowledge, risk perception, and sun protective behavior of sunbathers. Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted among Austrian residents (n=563) spending leisure time outdoors in August 2010. Results: Print media, television, and family were perceived as the most relevant sources of information on skin health, whereas the source physician was only ranked as fourth important source. Compared to other sources, information provided by doctors positively influenced participants' knowledge on skin risk and sun protective behavior resulting in higher scores in the knowledge test (p=0.009), higher risk perception (p<0.001), and more sun protection (p<0.001). Regarding gender differences, internet was more often used by males as health information source, whereas females were more familiar with printed information material in general. Conclusions: The results of this survey put emphasis on the demand for information provided by medical professionals in order to attain effective, long-lasting promotion of photoprotective habits.

We have studied the star forming activities and dust properties of Lynds 1251, a dark cloud located at relatively high galactic latitude. Eleven IRAS point sources identified toward Lynds 1251 are discussed. Estimate of stellar masses, and far-infrared lumnosities of the young stars associated with two prominent IRAS point sources imply that these are T-Tauri stars with masses smaller than $0.3 M_\bigodot$. The low dust temperature of 27 K and low ratio of FIR emission to hydrogen column density are probably due to the lack of internal heating sources. Presumably two low mass young stars do not have enough energy to heat up the dust and gas associated. The dust heating is dominated by the interstellar heating source, and the weaker interstellar radiation field can explain the exceptionally low dust temperatures found in Lynds 1251. The estimated dust mass of Lynds 1251 is just $\~1M_\bigodot$, or about 1/1000 of gas mass, which implies that there must be a substantial amount of colder dust. The infrared flux at $100{\mu}m$ is matching well with $^{13}CO$ peak temperature, while the $^{12}CO$ integrated intensity is matching with the boundary of dust emission. Overall, the dust properties of Lynds 1251 is similar to those of normal dark clouds even though it does have star forming activities.

전시조명 설계에 있어서는 광방사 에너지의 흡수에 의해 기인하는 광화학 손상이나 온도상승 등의 작용효과를 고려해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 조명에 의한 손상에 매우 민감한 물질은 50[lx](연간적산조도: 120,000lx.h), 어느종도 민감한 물질을 200[lx](연간적산조도: 480,000lx.h)가 보존 및 관람객의 자연스러운 관람분위기를 줄 수 있는 조도기준이고, 광원은 상대손상계수가 작고 방사조도가 낮은 것을 사용하여 조영되도록 하는 기준을 설정하였다. 또한 전시실의 전반조명은 연색성이 높고 색온도가 낮은 광원으로 눈부심등에 의한 시각상의 손상이 없도록 조명하는 것이 좋은 조명이라는 결론을 얻었다.

Spent fuels (SFs) are stored in a storage pool after discharge from nuclear power plants. They can be transferred to for the further processes such as dry storage sites, processing plants, or disposal sites. One of important measures of SF is the burnup. Since the radioactivity of SF is strongly dependent on its burnup, the burnup of SF should be well estimated for the safe management, storage, and final disposal. Published papers about the methodology for the burnup estimation from the known activities of important radioactive sources are somewhat rare. In this study, we analyzed the dependency of the burnup on the important radiation source activities using ORIGEN-ARP, and suggested simple correlations that relate the burnup and the important source activities directly. A burnup estimation equation is suggested for PWR fuels relating burnup with total neutron source intensity (TNSI), initial enrichment, and cooling time. And three burnup estimation equations for major gamma sources, ¹³⁷Cs, ¹³⁴Cs, and ¹⁵⁴Eu are also suggested.

Comparative maps, representing chromosomal locations of homologous genes in different species, are useful sources of information for identifying candidate disease genes and genes determining complex traits. They facilitate gene mapping and linkage prediction in other species, and provide information on genome organization and evolution. Here, the current gene mapping and comparative mapping status of the major livestock species are presented. Two techniques were widely used in comparative mapping: FISH (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization) and PCR-based mapping using somatic cell hybrid (SCH) or radiation hybrid (RH) panels. New techniques, using, for example, ESTs (Expressed Sequence Tags) or CASTS (Comparatively Anchored Sequence Tagged Sites), also have been developed as useful tools for analyzing comparative genome organization in livestock species, further enabling accurate transfer of valuable information from one species to another.

A shielding effectiveness of mesh screen filter of plasma display panel (PDP) has been calculated in this paper. Since the screen filter is located near the radiation source, the near field wave impedance of the radiation source, i.e., the PDP electrodes, has been considered to calculate the shielding effectiveness. The near field shielding effectiveness of screen filter at 30${\sim}$300 MHz has been estimated to be more than 65${\sim}$80 dB. The measured shielding effectiveness of screen filter is 10${\sim}$50 dB at 30${\sim}$300 MHz[1]. The resulting discrepancy indicates that there are other EMI emission sources such as emission from PCB and cable besides the PDP electrodes.

Radiation-induced displacement damage which has caused the increase of the dark current in the focal plane adopted in the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) was studied in regards of the primary protons and the secondaries generated by the protons in the orbit. By using the Monte Carlo N-Particle Transport Code System (MCNPX) version 2.4.0 along with the Stopping and Range of Ions in Matter version 2010 (SRIM2010), effects of the primary protons as well as secondary particles including neutron, electron, and photon were investigated. After their doses and fluxes that reached onto the charge-coupled device (CCD) were examined, displacement damage induced by major sources was presented.
