  • The polygenic variation in flowering time of soybean irradiated with Co$^{60}$ gamma ray evaluated in the R$_2$ generation. The genetic variance in the irradiation treatment was about four times that of the control. The basic possibility of selection for the early and the late in flowering time of soybean after irradiated with Co$^{60}$ was suggested in this paper.

  • In a attempt to find out the effects of the irradiation on the lymphatic organs of birds, a total of 40 chickens(4 week old) were selected at random and alloted to control and experimental groups. The experiments were irradiated Co-60 ${\gamma}-ray/400$ rads, and then the enzyme histochemical activity of Bursa Fabricious(BF), thymus and spleen and hematological changes were compared with those of controls for 30 days(24 hrs., 5, 10, 20 and 30 days). The results obtained were summarized as follows: 1. The activity of acid phosphatase(ACP) of the reticuloendothelial cells of BF, thymus and spleen and the epithelia of BF of the experiments were increased significantly from the early experimental terms and then returned to the same level of controls through the late experimental terms. 2. The activity of nonspecific esterase(NSE) of the constituent cells with exception of the lymphocytes in BF, thymus and spleen of experiments were increased significantly from the early experimental terms and then returned to the same level of control through the late experimental terms. 3. The lymphocyte percentage, total erythrocytes and homoglobin of the experiments were severely decreased from early experimental terms and then increased to the normal levels of them incontrols.

  • To assess the effects of gamma-ray (Co-60) on radiation sensitivity and genetic similarity of the basidiospore and mycelium in oyster mushroom, Pleurotus ostreatus, the D$_{10}$ values and RAPD patterns were analysed. Three strains were isolated from basidiospores (PO-Bl, -B2, and - B3 from 2 kGy irradiation group) and five strains from mycelia (PO-Ml, -M2 from 1 key, PO-M3 from 2 kGy, and PO-M4 and -M5 from 2+1 key irradiation group). The D$_{10}$ values of basidiospore and mycelium of P. Preurotus ostreatus were 1,250 Gy and 500 Gy, respectively. The growth rates of the eight strains on the five media were various and the activities of extracellular chitinases of them were generally higher than those of the control. By the gamma-ray radiation, 22-25% of genetic similarities were changed in the basidiospore strains and 23-36% of them in the mycelium strains. From these results, it seems that the basidiospore could be more radio-resistant than the mycelium of P. ostreatus and that the genetic similarity of the mycelium of P ostrentus could be changed easier than that of the basidiospore by the gamma-ray radiation.ion.

  • Differential responses of red pepper plant and cultured cells to enhanced ${\gamma}$-ray($^{60}$ Co) and ultraviolet(UV) stress were investigated. In seed treatment, 1 Gy of ${\gamma}$-ray increased seedling dry weight up to 19.1%, but 50 Gy treatment markedly ingibited seed germination and subsequent growth of seedling. UV treatment to seed did not change the germination ability of seeds and the growth of seedlings regardless of duration of UV treatment until 24 hrs. In case of UV treatment to seedlings, plant injury was seriously progressed even after the seedlings were returned to no UV condition, and eventually all the leaves showed chlorosis by the stress. However, progress of plant injury by ${\gamma}$-ray stress slower than that caused by UV stress, and even at the high dose of ${\gamma}$-ray 50 Gy, did not caused the cholrosis of stressed plant leaf. Amount of electrolytes leakage from plant leaf by UV treatment for 24hrs was increased up to 28.8 folds in comparison with untreated control, whereas that of 50 Gy of ${\gamma}$-ray was increased only 1.2 folds. UV stress induced the production of capsidiol, antimicrobial phytoalexin, by activation of gene expression involved in capsidiol biosynthesis, such as sesquiterpene cyclase and cyclase and cytochrome P450 hydroxylase in the leaf and cultured cell, but ${\gamma}$-ray stress induced neither the production of capsidiol nor expression of the genes.

  • The gamma-gamma logging method appplying in geophysical research are presented in this paper_ The logging probe assembly was designed which permits changing the source-to-detector spacing while conditions of proceeding ${\gamma}-{\gamma}$ logging, which a collimated gamma ray source ($^{60}Co$, 0.5mCi and/or 2 mCi) is separated from the scintillation detector as shown in Fig. 2 and 3, size is 6.0 cm in diameter and 120.0 cm in long and the exposed parts are made of stainless steel pipe. The results is confirmed by the experiment performed mainly in granite rock where a slightly constant shape was obtained but sometimes was shown sharpness shape for the measured scattered gamma-ray intensity. Consequently, the experimental results are obtained an adequate intensity of scattered gamma-rays and favourable response to density change, and also very closely correspond to between core samples of the test boring and to used this method of ${\gamma}-{\gamma}$ logging in the test bore-hole of the strata.

  • The peripheral dose distributions of wedge fields of Co-60 $\gamma-ray$ and 1 OMV x-ray were measured by the solid state detector controlled by means of semiautomatic water phentom system. The measurements were made on the principal plane parallel to the cross section of wedge filter (blade and ridge direction). For parallel motion of the detector to the beam axis the distance from the margin of radiation field at suface were 3, 5 and 10cm. For tranverse motion the depth of measurement were dm, 5, 10 and 15cm. The followings were drawn from the measurement. 1. The peripheral dose of the blade side of wedges was generally higher than that of the ridge side at symmetric point about beam axis. 2. In the superficial region phenomena of dose build-up appeared. 3. For Co-60 $\gamma-ray$ field, the peripheral dose did not monotonously decrease with the distance from the field margin but increase in some range, consequently showing a peak dose. 4. The peripheral dose did not only depend on radiation quality and field size, but also on wedge angle and wedge direction.

  • The threshold voltage shift observed in TDE (Total Dose Experiment) on board the KITAT-1 is converted into dose (rad($SiO_2$)) using the result of laboratory calibration with Co-60 gamma ray source in KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute). Simulation using the NASA radiation model of geomagnetosphere verifies that the dose difference between RADFET1 and RADFET3 observed on KITSAT-1 comes from the difference in shielding thickness at the position of these RADFETs.

  • The effects of the interfacial buffer layer and temperature on the organic bulk heterojunction (BHJ) nanostructures of copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) and fullerene (C60) systems were investigated using real time in-situ x-ray scattering. In the CuPc:C60 BHJ structures, standing-on configured ${\gamma}$-CuPc phase was formed by co-deposition of CuPc and C60. Once formed ${\gamma}$-phase was thermally stable during the annealing upon $180^{\circ}C$. Meanwhile, the insertion of CuI buffer layer prior to deposition of the CuPc:C60 BHJ layer induced lying-down configured CuPc crystals in the BHJ layer. The lying CuPc peak intensity and the lattice parameter were increased by the thermal annealing. This increment of the intensity seemed to be related to the strain at the interface between CuPc:C60 and CuI, which was proportional to the enhancement of the power conversion efficiency of the device.

  • In this study, a scintillation detector was fabricated using a silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) and a Ce:GAGG scintillator single crystal, and its spectroscopic properties were compared with those of commercially available LYSO and CsI:Tl scintillators using ${\gamma}$-ray spectroscopy. The energy resolutions of the self-produced scintillation detector composed of the scintillator single crystal (volume: $3{\times}3{\times}20mm^3$) and SiPM (Photosensitive area: $3{\times}3mm^2$) for standard ${\gamma}$-ray sources, such as $^{133}Ba$, $^{22}Na$, $^{137}Cs$ and $^{60}Co$ were measured and compared. As a result, the energy resolutions of the proposed Ce:GAGG scintillation detector for g-rays, as measured using its spectroscopic properties, were found to be 13.5% for $^{133}Ba$ 0.356 MeV, 6.9% for $^{22}Na$ 0.511 MeV, 5.8% for $^{137}Cs$ 0.662 MeV and 2.3% for $^{60}Co$ 1.33 MeV.

  • The activity of gamma-ray emitting nuclides is calculated assuming that each gamma-ray is detected individually; thus, the magnitude of the coincidence summing signal must be considered during activity calculations. Here, the correction factor for the coincidence summing effect was calculated, and the detection efficiencies of two HPGe detectors were compared. The CANBERRA Inc. GC4018 high-purity Ge detector provided an estimate for the peak-to-total ratio using a point source to determine the coincidence summing correction factor. The ORTEC Inc. GEM60 high-purity Ge detector uses EFFTRAN in LVis to obtain the parameters of the detector and source model and the gamma-gamma and gamma-X match estimates, in order to determine the coincidence summing correction factor. Nuclide analyses, radioactivity comparisons, and analyses of reference material samples were performed utilizing certified reference materials to accurately determine the detection efficiencies. For both Co-60 and Y-88, the detection efficiency for a point source increased by an average of at least 12-13%, whereas the detection efficiency determined using LVis increased by an average of at least 13-15%. The calculated radioactivity values of the certified reference material and reference material samples were accurate to within 3% and 6% of the measured values, respectively.
