Background: A nondestructive test is commonly used to inspect the surface defects and internal structure of an object without any physical damage. X-rays generated from an electron accelerator or a tube are one of the methods used for nondestructive testing. The high penetration of X-rays through materials with low atomic numbers makes it difficult to discriminate between these materials using X-ray imaging. The interaction characteristics of neutrons with materials can supplement the limitations of X-ray imaging in material discrimination. Materials and Methods: The radiation image acquisition process for air-cargo security inspection equipment using X-rays and neutrons was simulated using a GEometry ANd Tracking (Geant4) simulation toolkit. Radiation images of phantoms composed of 13 materials were obtained, and the R-value, representing the attenuation ratio of neutrons and gamma rays in a material, was calculated from these images. Results and Discussion: The R-values were calculated from the simulated X-ray and neutron images for each phantom and compared with those obtained in the experiments. The R-values obtained from the experiments were higher than those obtained from the simulations. The difference can be due to the following two causes. The first reason is that there are various facilities or equipment in the experimental environment that scatter neutrons, unlike the simulation. The other is the difference in the neutron signal processing. In the simulation, the neutron signal is the sum of the number of neutrons entering the detector. However, in the experiment, the neutron signal was obtained by superimposing the intensities of the neutron signals. Neutron detectors also detect gamma rays, and the neutron signal cannot be clearly distinguished in the process of separating the two types of radiation. Despite these differences, the two results showed similar trends and the viability of using simulation-based radiation images, particularly in the field of security screening. With further research, the simulation-based radiation images can replace ones from experiments and be used in the related fields. Conclusion: The Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute has developed air-cargo security inspection equipment using neutrons and X-rays. Using this equipment, radiation images and R-values for various materials were obtained. The equipment was reconstructed, and the R-values were obtained for 13 materials using the Geant4 simulation toolkit. The R-values calculated by experiment and simulation show similar trends. Therefore, we confirmed the feasibility of using the simulation-based radiation image.
Using a rotating biological contactor modified with a sequencing bath reactor system (SBRBC) designed and operated to remove phosphate and nitrogen [58], the microbial community structure of the biofilm from the SBRBC system was characterized based on the extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) constituents, electron microscopy, and molecular techniques. Protein and carbohydrate were identified as the major EPS constituents at three different biofilm thicknesses, where the amount of EPS and bacterial cell number were highest in the initial thickness of 0-100${\mu}m$. However, the percent of carbohydrate in the total amount of EPS decreased by about 11.23%, whereas the percent of protein increased by about 11.15% as the biofilm grew. Thus, an abundant quantity of EPS and cell mass, as well as a specific quality of EPS were apparently needed to attach to the substratum in the first step of the biofilm growth. A FISH analysis revealed that the dominant phylogenetic group was $\beta$- and $\gamma$-Proteobacteria, where a significant subclass of Proteobacteria for removing phosphate and/or nitrate was found within a biofilm thickness of 0-250${\mu}m$. In addition, 16S rDNA clone libraries revealed that Klebsiella sp. and Citrobacter sp. were most dominant within the initial biofilm thickness of 0-250${\mu}m$, whereas sulfur-oxidizing bacteria, such as Beggiatoa sp. and Thiothrix sp., were detected in a biofilm thickness over 250${\mu}m$. The results of the bacterial community structure analysis using molecular techniques agreed with the results of the morphological structure based on scanning electron microscopy. Therefore, the overall results indicated that coliform bacteria participated in the nitrate and phosphorus removal when using the SBRBC system. Moreover, the structure of the biofilm was also found to be related to the EPS constituents, as well as the nitrogen and phosphate removal efficiency. Consequently, since this is the first identification of the bacterial community and structure of the biofilm from an RBC simultaneously removing nitrogen and phosphate from domestic wastewater, and it is hoped that the present results may provide a foundation for understanding nitrate and phosphate removal by an RBC system.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of irradiation on the striated duct cells of the rat submandibular gland ductal tissues which control the characteristics of saliva. For this study, the experimental group was composed of 36 irradiated Sprague Dawley strain rats divided into 8 subgroups 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours after irradiation. 4 non-irradiated rats were used as the control group. The experimental animals were singly irradiated with a dose of 18Gy gamma ray to their head and neck region by the Co-6- teletherapy unit and sacrificed after each experimental duration. The specimens were examined with a light microscope with an H-E stain and with a trans- mission electron microscope. The results of this study were as follows. In the light micrograph, a severe atrophic change occurred in the striated duct cells at 2hours after irradiation and gradual recovery occurred from 6 hours after irradiation. 2. The nuclear chromosomes of the striated duct cells were changed granular at 2 hours after irradiation. Recovery was observed at 6 hours after irradiation. Nuclear bodies were also observed from 3 hours after irradiation. 3. The mitochondria of the striated duct cells had indistinct cristae at 2 hours after irradiation, and were degenerated or swollen at 3 hours after irradiation. They recovered, however, from 6 hours, with an increasing number at 48 hours and a regular arrangement was observed at 72 hours after irradiation. 4. The microvilli showed atrophic changes at 2 hours after irradiation and were almost lost at 3 hours after irradiation. They were observed again from 48 hours after irradiation. 5. The rough endoplasmic reticulum and golgi body were not apparent at 1 hour after irradiation and were dilated with degeneration 2 hours after, but intact rough endoplasmic reticulum were observed from 3 hours after irradiation and developed well at 24 hours after irradiation. By the result of this study, showing a mild change in the functional morphology of the salivary striated duct cells immediately following irradiation, it is considered that the many complications which occur after radiation therapy, will disappear in time with the histological and the functional recovery of the glandular tissues.
Previous study had shown the diversities in the propriety for optimal bond strength on the concentration of the etchant. The aim of present study in vitro was to evaluate and compare the shear bond strength of orthodontic brackets to enamel and to measure the depth of etch on the phosphoric acid concentrations. A hundred and seventy six extracted bovine lower centrals were ground to yield flat surfaces and etched by the concentration $0%,\;5%,\;10%,\;20%,\;30%,\;40%,\;50%,\;60%,\;70%,\;80%\;and\;85\%$ of phosphoric acid respectively during 60 seconds. The shear bond strength of orthodontic brackets, the depth of etch and surface roughness of the enamel were measured, and scanning electron microscopic observations on the etched enamel surfaces were carried out. The data obtained from the very experiments were processed and statistically analyzed and evaluated. The gradual increase in the depth of etch to enamel as the accretion of the concentration of the phosphoric acid upto $40-50\%$ and decline henceforth were manifested. The surface roughness showed no correlation with the depth of etch, yet moderate correlation with the shear bond strength of brackets. Scanning electron microscopic investigation revealed that morphological patterns of the etched enamel surfaces for $5\%\;to\;40\%$ of concentrations were even and homogenous, and those for $50\%$ as well as $60\%$ exhibited the overetched and unhomogenous. The shear bond strengths kom $10\%\;to\;60\%$ of concentration showed no statistically significant differences. It was suggested that the shear bond strengths at $5\%\;and\;70\%$ were sufficient to tolerate the force levels of the ordinary orthodontic treatment notwithstanding to be significantly lower than those from $10\%\;to\;60\%$ phosphoric acid solution.
The detection characteristics of gamma-irradiated $(0{\sim}4\;kGy)$ soybeans produced in Korea and China were investigated by thermoluminescene (TL), electron spin resonance (ESR), and DNA comet assay. The TL glow curves were shown at around $200^{\circ}C$ for irradiated soybeans, while that at $280^{\circ}C$ for the non-irradiated one. The normalization with a re-irradiation step at 1 kGy could verify the above detection results. The Korean soybean showed higher glow curves than Chinese did. The ESR spectroscopy for husks of irradiated soybeans revealed specific signals (g = 2.02374, 1.98715) derived from cellulose radical, which intensities were proportional to irradiation does, with the higher peaks in Chinese sample than Korean one. The DNA comet for the non-irradiated sample showed no or little tails, while those for irradiated samples above 0.5 kGy were remarkably changed in their length, size, and concentration, thus resulting in distinguishing non-irradiated from irradiated samples. As a result, TL, ESR, and DNA comet determinations were found suitable for the detection of irradiated soybean at 0.5 kGy or more, and negligible differences were observed between Korean and Chinese origins in their detection characteristics.

The characteristics of thermoluminescence (TL) and electron spin resonance (ESR) and organoleptic qualities of gamma-irradiated raisin and dried banana were investigated during storage at 4$^{\circ}C$ for 6 months. The minerals separated from non-irradiated raisins showed TL glow curve (TL$_1$) with very low intensity around 200~30$0^{\circ}C$, while the irradiated samples at 1 kGy or more showed glow curves with higher intensity around 18$0^{\circ}C$, with linear increase by irradiation dose ($R^2$=0.9684), which made it possible to identify irradiated samples during 6 months. Moreover, TL ratios (TL$_1$/TL$_2$) through the reirradiation step at 1 kGy enhanced confidence in the identification of irradiated raisins. The ESR signals of multicomponent lines resulted from crystalline sugar radicals were shown in irradiated banana, identifying irradiated samples. The ESR signal intensity was dependent on irradiation doses ($R^2$=0.8977) and the signals were stable enough to be detected by 6th month after storage. Considering tile marketability of irradiated dried fruits during 6 months at low temperature TL and ESR analyses were shown suitable for the identification of irradiated raisins and dried banana, respectively.
In this study, for the development of useful food materials, the proximate composition(total carbohydrates, crude fiber, crude protein, fat and ash) and biological activities(electron donating activity, total polyphenol contents, ACE inhibitory and ${\gamma}$-glucosidase inhibitory effects) were determined in the Garlmoe and the four wild Flammulina velutipes. As a results, the dry matter of mushrooms contained large amounts of carbohydrates, from 65.9 to 70.5 g/100g dry weight. the wild collected Flammulina velutipes proved to be an especially good source of crude fiber(7.9~18.1 g/100 g dry weight). Crude protein, fat, and ash contents of the mushrooms ranged 17.1~21.3, 4.1~5.2, and 5.7~8.4 g/100g dry weight, respectively. The electron donating activity ranged from 63.35 to 69.31% and total polyphenol contents ranged from 9.83 to 11.14 mg/g in these mushrooms. ACE inhibitions were high in Garlmoe and CBMFV-02 strain. ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibition was the highest in CBMFV-01(46.56%) strain and lowest in Garlmoe(15.91%).
The aim of this in vitro study was to analyze the composition of human tooth enamel in terms of three components, Ca, P, and F after demineralization and remineralization in acid buffer solution. A total of 8 human premolars without any defects and cracks were selected and buccal and lingual sides of the teeth were cleaned with an ultrasonic device and pumice without fluoride 5$\times$5mm windows were opened, and other areas were completely covered with 3-coats of nail varnish to prevent from being in contact with demineralized and remineralized solutions. After demineralization process, each tooth was sectioned into two slices, highly polished one of them with$\gamma$-alumina, and then analyzed the composition of the demineralized tooth with EPMA(electron probe micro-analyzer). The other slices were put into the remineralized solution for 10 days, polished, and analyzed in the same manner. These data were statistically analyzed with one sample t-test(p<0.05). The results were as follows. 1. Normal tooth enamel consists of 49.76% Ca, 39.80% P, and 0.28% F. 2. After demineralization, percentage of Ca and P ratio were decreased by about 5.57 and 5.07% respectively. Percentage of F ratio was also decreased by about 0.01%, which was not statistically significant. 3. After remineralization, percentage of Ca, P increased about by 4.47 and 4.35% respectively Percentage of F decreased by about 0.01%, which was not statistically significant. In conclusion, remineralized solution used in our study has the potential to induce the uptake the Ca and P into the pore sites of the demineralized enamel. But, in the oral cavity. there were rapid temperature change, organic matrix that inhibits the movement of the ions, and limitation of continuous contact with this remineralized solution. Therefore, further in vivo study is necessary.

A series of test was performed measuring the failure strength and failure mode of Gr/Pi, $[0^{\circ}/45^{\circ}/90^{\circ}/-45^{\circ}]_s$ laminate containing a single pin loaded hole. The finite element method is applied to calculate the stress distribution in the laminates, then the failure load and the failure mode were predicted by means of the characteristic length. 12 different geometric variations were developed to analyze the effects of the ratio of specimen width to hole diameter (W/d) and ratio of edge distance to hole diameter (L/d). X-Ray of NDE methods were utilized in finding out the initial defects, damage and the fracture mechanism, and SEM(Scanning Electron Microscopes) was used the evaluation of the fracture mechanism and crack propagation around hole under tension pin loading. $[0^{\circ}/45^{\circ}/90^{\circ}/-45^{\circ}]_s$ laminate are found to be most sensitive to W/d but not so influenced by L/d. The failure mode and tensile strength predicted by the model show agreement with experiment data for pin loading bolted jointed test except range of $L/d{\leqq}3$.
Two kinds of composite seasoning products (beef broth powder, polk bone extract powder) were used for a detection trial of gamma irradiation treatment up to 10 kGy by analyzing photostimulated luminescence (PSL), electron spin resonance (ESR) and thermoluminescence(TL). PSL results showed that the photon counts of non-irradiated samples were lower than 700, while those of irradiated samples were higher than 5000, which makes it possible to screen irradiated composite seasoning products at 1 kGy or over from the non-irradiated control. ESR signals measured for both irradiated samples were not irradiation-specific, even though they were dose dependent in the signal intensity. Radiation-induced TL glow curves were found in irradiated beef broth powder and furthernmore, TL ratio $(TL_4/TL_2)$ obtained by a re-irradiation step could verify the detection result of TL1 glow curves, showing ratios lower than 0.05 in the non-irradiated sample and higher than 1.00 in irradiated ones.
