The radiation-induced changes taking place in poly(vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF) exposed to $^{60}Co\;\gamma-ray$ irradiation were investigated in correlation with the applied doses. Samples were irradiated in air at room temperature by $^{60}Co\;\gamma-ray$ to doses in the range of 200 to 1000 kGy. Various properties of the irradiated PVDF were studied using nm, differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) and gel fraction. $^{60}Co\;\gamma-ray$ irradiation was found to induce changes in chemical, thermal, structural properties of PVDF and such changes vary depending on the radiation dose.

Gamma irradiation was evaluated for its in vitro and in vivo antibacterial activity against a postharvest bacterial pathogen, Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora (Ecc). Gamma irradiation in a bacteria cell suspension resulted in a dramatic reduction of the viable counts as well as an increase in the amounts of DNA and protein released from the cells. Gamma irradiation showed complete inactivation of Ecc, especially at a dose of 0.6 kGy. In addition, scanning electron microscopy of irradiated cells revealed severe damage on the surface of most bacterial cells. Along with the morphological changes of cells by gamma irradiation, it also affected the membrane integrity in a dose-dependent manner. The mechanisms by which the gamma irradiation decreased the bacterial soft rot can be directly associated with the disruption of the cell membrane of the bacterial pathogen, along with DNA fragmentation, results in dose-dependent cell inactivation. These findings suggest that gamma irradiation has potential as an antibacterial approach to reduce the severity of the soft rot of paprika.

The effect of an electron beam and ${\gamma}$-ray irradiation on the curing of epoxy resins was investigated. Diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) and diglycidyl ether of bisphenol F (DGEBF) as epoxy resin were used. The epoxy resins containing 1.0-3.() wt% of triarylsulphonium hexafluoroantimonate(TASHFA) and triarylsulphonium hexafluorophosphate(TASHFP) as initiator were irradiated under nitrogen at room temperature with different dosage of EB and ${\gamma}$-rays from a Co$^{60}$ u source. The chemical and mechanical characteristics of irradiated epoxy resins were compared after curing of EB and ${\gamma}$-ray irradiation. The thermal properties of cured epoxy were investigated using dynamic mechanical thermal analysis. The chemical structures of cured epoxy were characterized using near infrared spectroscopy. Mechanical properties such as flexural strength, modulus were measured. The gel fraction of DGEBA with ${\gamma}$-ray was higher than that of the epoxy with EB at the same dose. Young's modulus of the sample irradiated by ${\gamma}$-ray is higher than that of sample cured by EB. From the result of strain at yield, it was found that the epoxy cured by ${\gamma}$-ray had a higher stiff property compared with the irradiated by EB.

채소종자의 발아와 초기생장에 대한 저선량 방사선과 종자수분 함량의 영향을 알아보고자 배추, 무, 고추, 호박 참박 각각의 건조종자와 습윤종자에 저선량 감마선을 $0{\sim}20\;Gy$ 수준으로 조사하였다. 수분함량을 상이하게 하여 관찰한 발아와 초기생장에 미치는 저선량 방사선 효과는 작물종에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 발아율의 경우는 건조종자보다 습윤종자에서 대체로 높았으며 저선량 효과는 배추와 호박의 습윤종자4 Gy와 2 Gy에서 각각 33%와 13% 증가하여 뚜렷한 효과를 보였고, 참박은 건조종자 $4{\sim}8\;Gy$에서 높았다. 초기생장은 습윤종자에서 뚜렷한 효과를 보여 배추와 무는 10 Gy, 호박은 2 Gy, 참박은 8 Gy에서 $6{\sim}26%$ 정도 증가하였다. 이러한 초기생장 촉진효과는 저선량 방사선과 수분함량 상호간에 유의적인 차이를 보였으며 특히 배추와 참박에서 가장 높았다. 즉, 채소 종자의 수분함량을 상이하게 하여 저선량 방사선의 효과를 조사한 결과 적정 수분함량에서 발아와 유묘생장이 촉진됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

유전상수가 10인 기판에 mushroom 형태를 가지는 EBG 구조를 전 방향과 길이 방향으로 집적한 패치안테나의 방사 특성을 체계적으로 해석하였다. 기판이 두꺼워질수록 표면파가 더 많이 발생하여 EBG 구조가 패치 안테나의 입력 임피던스와 방사 패턴에 미치는 영향이 커지는 것을 볼 수 있었다 기판 두께가 3.2 mm, 1.6 mm, 0.8 mm 인 경우 EBG 구조와 패치 중심 사이의 거리가 각각 0.4 ${\gamma}_0$, 0.2 ${\gamma}_0$, 0.1 ${\gamma}_0$ 이상 되어야 EBG 구조가 패치안테나의 입력 임피던스에 영향을 거의 주지 않았다. 기판 두께가 3.2 mm, 1.6 mm, 0.8 mm 인 경우 EBG 구조를 각각 2 주기, 2 주기, 3 주기 이상 집적하면 표면파가 억제되어 전방 방사가 향상되었다. EBG 구조를 길이 방향으로 집적한 경우와 전 방향으로 집적한 경우 EBG 구조가 패치안테나의 방사 특성에 미치는 영향은 비슷하였다.

황산망간 용액조장치의 $^{56}Mn\;{\gamma}$선 검출효율을 결정하는데 $^{56}Mn$용액의 방사능을 절대측정하는 것은 필수적이다 $^{56}Mn$시료를 제작하기 위하여 99.99%의 순도를 갖는 Mn금속조각 13.718mg되는 시료를 한국에너지연구소 TRIGA MARK-II 원자로의 중성자선속이 약 $10^{13}n/cm^2{\cdot}s$되는 열중성자장에서 12분간 조사시켰다. 중성자 방사화된 $^{56}Mn$금속시료를 0.1N-HCI 용액 50ml 용해시켜서 $^{56}Mn$시료를 제작하여 $4{\pi}{\beta}-{\gamma}$ 동시계수기술로 방사능을 측정한 결과 불확도 0.366%를 갖는 값으로서 1987년 10월 15일 0 시를 기준하여 408.070kBq/mg을 얻었다.

Pork is an excellent source of essential nutrients such as protein. However, pork can trigger hypersensitivity and serum albumin of pork is known as major allergen. In this study, to evaluate the effect of gamma irradiation on the allergenicity of porcine serum albumin (PSA), PSA solution was irradiated at 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, and 20 kGy. The changes in the ability of PSA to bind IgG and patient's serum caused by gamma irradiation were observed by ci-ELISA and immunoblotting. SDS-PAGE was used for measuring the conformational change of gamma-irradiated PSA. The ability of 3-kGy-irradiated PSA to bind p-IgG and patient's serum was decreased to 30% and 15%, respectively. The binding ability showed no significant differences among all irradiated samples. SDS-PAGE showed that the irradiated PSA bands were degraded and aggregated. Immunoblotting of irradiated PSA revealed that IgG and patient's serum were rarely recognized at 3 kGy. Therefore, gamma irradiation could be applied to less-allergenic pork products.

In this paper, we measured the radiation dose of a fuel handling machine of the CANDU type Wolsong nuclear reactor directly during operation, in spite of the high radiation level. In this paper we will describe the sensor development, measurement techniques, and results of our study. For this study, we used specially developed semiconductor sensors and matching dosimetry techniques for the mixed radiation field. MOSFET dosimeters with a thin oxide, that are tuned to a high dose, were used to measure the ionizing radiation dose. Silicon diode dosimeters with an optimum area to thickness ratio were used for the radiation damage measurements. The sensors are able to distinguish neutrons from gamma/X-rays. To measure the radiation dose, electronic sensor modules were installed on two locations of the fuel handling machine. The measurements were performed throughout one reactor maintenance cycle. The resultant annual cumulative dose of gamma/X-rays on the two spots of the fuel handling machine were 18.47 Mrad and 76.50 Mrad, and those of the neutrons were 17.51 krad and 60.67 krad. The measured radiation level is high enough to degrade certain cable insulation materials that may result in electrical insulation failure.

Blue light of Cherenkov radiation generated by electrons in transparent substances such as water and acrylic resin is well known generally. If students can easily observe the blue light at school, they may be impressed by the fascinating radiation. Four years ago, management of the Co-60 unit for radiotherapy was transferred to Nagoya University School of Health Sciences from a related hospital. We have examined whether or not the Cherenkov radiation in water from secondary electrons generated by Co-60 gamma-rays can be safely observed by eyes and photographs. First, the Cherenkov radiation in the water tank was led to the corridor outside the irradiation room by a mirror, and observed directly without any effect of the radiation exposure. Second, photographs of the Cherenkov radiation were taken under the conditions consisted of several irradiation fields and pass lengths of gamma-rays in water.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression mechanism of MCP-1 in gamma-irradiated RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. MCP-1 plays an important role in attracting monocyte to injured site at the early inflammation stage. However the production mechanism of MCP-1 by gamma-irradiation in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells was almost undiscovered. We found that MCP-1 was produced in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells by irradiation with 5 Gy. And these inceases were attenuated by specific inhibitors treatment, such as $NF-{\kappa}B$, JNK, ERK, JAK2, and Pyk2. These results indicate that radiation-induced MCP-1 production is mediated by MyD88- and TRIF-dependent pathways in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. Furthermore, gamma-irradiation induced heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. However this induction level was reduced before MCP-1 and $IFN-{\beta}$ production.
