In this study, the effect of the concentration of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) solution on the degradation by irradiation was investigated. The CMC solutions with different concentrations of 3%, 4%, 5%, 6% and 7% were irradiated at the doses of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 kGy with gamma ray or electron beam, and the viscosity of CMC solution was measured. The viscosity of the CMC solutions was decreased with an increase in the irradiation dose, but the extent of the degradation by an irradiation was found to be decreased with an increase of the CMC concentration in the solution. The dependency of the irradiation sources showed that an electron beam radiation had degraded the CMC less severely than gamma ray.

광섬유가 방사선에 노출되면 코어 내에 컬러센터가 형성되어 광 투과성이 저하된다. 방사선 유도 손실이라 하며, 소재, 구조 등의 변화를 통해 방사선 유도 손실을 줄이고 내방사선 특성을 개선한 광섬유가 활발히 연구되고 있다. 우주, 원자력 발전소 등 극한 환경에서도 통신 및 광응용 시스템을 구축하는데 내방사 광섬유를 활용할 수 있다는 장점 때문이다. 본 발표에서는 상용 내방사 광섬유의 감마선 조사에 의한 영향을 분석한 결과를 보인다.

The decomposition of antibiotics (cefaclor) by gamma irradiation in aqueous solutions was experimentally evaluated. To obtain a mutual interaction between two factors (antibiotics concentrations and radiation doses) and to optimize these factors during the process, experimental design and statistical analysis were employed. The decomposition capability of the gamma radiation was also mathematically described as a function of cefaclor concentration and gamma-ray dose using the statistical analysis. The results showed that the cefaclor concentration ($X_1$) in the response $Y_1$ (Reduction of cefaclor concentration) and gamma-ray dose ($X_2$) in the response $Y_2$ (Removal efficiency (%) of cefaclor concentration) exhibited a significantly positive effect, whereas gamma-ray dose ($X_2$) in the response $Y_1$ showed a significantly negative effect. The estimated ridge of maximum responses and optimal conditions for $Y_1$:($X_1$,$X_2$)=(25 mg/L, 350 Gy) and $Y_2$:($X_1$,$X_2$)=(21 mg/L, 565 Gy) using canonical analysis were 4.37 mg/L of reduction of cefaclor concentration and 98.35% of removal efficiency of cefaclor concentration, respectively. The measurement values agreed well with the predicted ones, thereby confirming the suitability of the model for $Y_1$ and $Y_2$ and the success of the experimental design in optimizing the conditions of the gamma irradiation process.

Sector block is not used for Gamma Knife surgery in patients with generalized trigeminal neuralgia but sector block is used to reduce the dose reaching the brain stem when the trigeminal ganglgia and the 'Brain stem', radiation sensitive tissue, are adjacent. In the Gamma Knife surgical plan of this study, a surgical plan was established using a Leksell Gamma Plan 11. 1.0 (Elekta Instrument AB, Sweden) with one patient (Block unused, Brain stem dose No volume over 12 Gy, Case 1) who did not need a sector block and four patients (Block unused, Brain stem dose 12 Gy or more, Case 2~5) with a sector block. Magnetic resonance images were obtained by MPRAGE T1 and CISS Respectively. When the trigeminal ganglion is in close proximity to the brain stem, the brain stem volume is decreased when the sector block is used, while the treatment time was increased. In conclusion, This Study evaluates the usefulness of the Sector block in brain stem through Gamma Knife surgery in trigeminal neuralgia, which is considered to be the most important factor for the Gamma Knife surgery.

Clusters of galaxies are believed to constitute a population of astrophysical objects potentially able to emit electromagnetic radiation up to gamma-ray energies. Evidence of the existence of non-thermal radiation processes in galaxy clusters is indicated from observations of diffuse radio halos, hard X-ray and EUV excess emission. The presence of cosmic ray acceleration processes and its confinement on cosmological timescales nearly inevitably yields in predicting energetic gamma-ray emission, either directly deduceably from a cluster's multifreqency emission characteristics or indirectly during large-scale cosmological structure formation processes. This theoretical reasoning suggests several scenarios to actually detect galaxy clusters at gamma-ray wavelengths: Either resolved as individual sources of point-like or extended gamma-ray emission, by investigating spatial-statistical correlations with unidentified gamma-ray sources or, if unresolved, through their contribution to the extragalactic diffuse gamma-ray background. In the following I review the situation concerning the proposed relation between galaxy clusters and high-energy gamma-ray observations from an observational point-of-view.

In this paper, we propose the fast and efficient detection method using the continuous measurement technique for the gamma-ray signal acquisition. This method is improved than the conventional method for the getting information of the radiation distribution. First, we implement the stereo radiation detection system using gamma-ray sensors and the motion controller. We apply continuous measurement technique to the gamma-ray detector and conduct gamma-ray irradiation test for the comparison of detection techniques. The results show that the continuous measurement technique has the high efficient performance than the conventional method.

Machine Learning has introduced many solutions in data science, but its application in IoT faces significant challenges, due to the limitations in memory size and processing capability of constrained devices. In this paper we design an automatic gamma radiation detection and identification embedded system that exploits the power of TinyML in a SiPM micro radiation sensor leveraging the Edge Impulse platform. The model is trained using real gamma source data enhanced by software augmentation algorithms. Tests show high accuracy in real time processing. This design has promising applications in general-purpose radiation detection and identification, nuclear safety, medical diagnosis and it is also amenable for deployment in small satellites.

방사선 hormesis 효과를 알아보기 위하여 저선량의 방사선을 조사한 후 파종자의 발아양상을 비교하였다. 흥농종묘(주)에서 분양받은 1997년산 '온천'파종자는 대조구에 비해 저선량의 방사선이 조사구에서 약 10%정도 증가된 발아율 양상을 보였으며, 기내배양에서도 마찬가지로 8 Gy 조사구에서 약 10%정도 증가되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 중앙종묘(주)로부터 분양받은 1992년산 '석창외대'파종자의 경우 대조구에서는 약 42.7%의 발아율을 보인 반면 4Gy가 조사된 처리구에서는 약 78.0%까지 발아율이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 전반적으로 최적의 비옥토양에서 보다는 비경작지에서 방사선 유익효과가 증가되는 양상을 보였다. 흡습지에서의 발아율 양상은 대조구의 발아율이 22%로 매우 저조한 반면, 1 Gy 조사구에서는 38%까지 발아율이 증가되어 약 16%정도 증가율을 보였다. Paper towel을 이용한 발아율 실험에서 역시 1Gy 조사구에서 발아율이 증가되는 경향을 보였는데 역시 대조구에 비해 1 Gy 조사구에서 약 10% 정도 증가하는 양상을 보였다. 발아율이 증가되었던 저선량 방사선 조사구의 전기전도도를 조사해 본 결과 대조구에 비해 낮아지는 경향을 보였다. 결론적으로 1Gy에서 10Gy정도의 저선량 방사선 수준에서 파종자의 발아율 증가효과가 나타나는 것으로 사료된다.

Gray mold caused by Botrytis cinerea is one of the most important postharvest fungal pathogens of cut flowers. Here, gamma irradiation, an alternative for phytosanitary purposes, and sodium dichloroisocyanurate (NaDCC) were used to control B. cinerea in a cut chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat.) cultivar, 'Baekma', one of the cultivars susceptible to B. cinerea. Spore germination and mycelium growth of B. cinerea were inhibited by gamma irradiation in an inversely dose-dependent manner. A dose of 4 kGy completely inhibited the mycelium growth of B. cinerea. A significant change in flower quality (physical properties) on chrysanthemum was shown from gamma irradiation at over 0.2 kGy (p<0.05). Therefore, in this study, the integration of gamma ray (below 0.2 kGy) and NaDCC, an eco-friendly form of chlorine, was investigated to control the disease with low dose of gamma irradiation dose. Interestingly, the gamma irradiated flowers showed more disease severity than the non-irradiated flowers. The combined treatment of gamma irradiation and NaDCC does not affect the severity of the fungal disease, whereas only 70 ppm of NaDCC treatment showed a significantly reduced severity. These results suggest that only chlorination treatment can be applied to control B. cinerea in cut chrysanthemum flowers.
