A single molecule detection system, which consists of confocal fluorescence microscope and single photon counter, has been used to observe the dye concentration dependence of photon counting rate. With increasing concentration, a saturation effect of counting is observed and demonstrated on the basis of the dead time of photon detector. The equations presented here show the relations between the counting rate and some parameters such as probe volume, quantum efficiency of detector, and fluorescence photon number entered onto detector. The signal-to-noise ratio is also discussed briefly.

A method is presented here in order to determine a nonlinearity correction of observed counter rates in a GM counter. An expression, which is developed under the assumption of dead time dependence on counting rates, gives good agreement with the results obtained from the experimental work. The variation of pulse voltages from a GM counter with counting rates was measured with the aid of pulse height analyzer. This method gives accurate values for the dead time over a wide range of counting. The technique as outlined allows tile exact correction of the nonlinearity caused by dead time loss. It was observed that the dead time decreases as the counting rate increases.

This paper describes a new simplified logarithmic counting Tatemeter for the measurement of wide range counting rates without selector switch. Theoritical analysis of the proposed circuit and synthesis technique for designing a multi.decade instrument using this configuration are given. It has a linear response on the logarithmic scale for random pulses of Poisson's distribution as well as for periodic pulses. The experimental circuit designed by the proposed technique has a good logarithmic response over 5 decades covering the counting rates from 1 pps to $10^5$ pps. Also the causes of inaccuracy in the low and high range are examined and effestively removed.

This paper suggested the fast and easy method of the dielectric constant measurement for planar dielectrics using a microstrip line. The complex permittivity and permeability were presented by the first reflection and transmission coefficient which were derived from the scattering parameters. This method was verified by the measurement of a known planar dielectric using a microstrip line. This method can be applied to the dielectric constant measurement of unknown planar dielectric.

This study is aimed to evaluate the effect of $T_{1/2}$ upon count rates in the analysis of dynamic scan using NaI (Tl) scintillation camera, and suggest a new quality control method with this effects. We producted a point source with $^{99m}TcO_4^-$ of 18.5 to 185 MBq in the 2 mL syringes, and acquired 30 frames of dynamic images with 10 to 60 seconds each using Infinia gamma camera (GE, USA). In the second experiment, 90 frames of dynamic images were acquired from 74 MBq point source by 5 gamma cameras (Infinia 2, Forte 2, Argus 1). There were not significant differences in average count rates of the sources with 18.5 to 92.5 MBq in the analysis of 10 to 60 seconds/frame with 10 seconds interval in the first experiment (p>0.05). But there were significantly low average count rates with the sources over 111 MBq activity at 60 seconds/frame (p<0.01). According to the second analysis results of linear regression by count rates of 5 gamma cameras those were acquired during 90 minutes, counting efficiency of fourth gamma camera was most low as 0.0064%, and gradient and coefficient of variation was high as 0.0042 and 0.229 each. We could not find abnormal fluctuation in $x^2$ test with count rates (p>0.02), and we could find the homogeneity of variance in Levene's F-test among the gamma cameras (p>0.05). At the correlation analysis, there was only correlation between counting efficiency and gradient as significant negative correlation (r=-0.90, p<0.05). Lastly, according to the results of calculation of $T_{1/2}$ error from change of gradient with -0.25% to +0.25%, if $T_{1/2}$ is relatively long, or gradient is high, the error increase relationally. When estimate the value of 4th camera which has highest gradient from the above mentioned result, we could not see $T_{1/2}$ error within 60 minutes at that value. In conclusion, it is necessary for the scintillation gamma camera in medical field to manage hard for the quality of radiation measurement. Especially, we found a tendency that count rate changes over time at this study, and we proved that it can effect $T_{1/2}$. And also, there is need of appropriate phantoms and the method of quality management like this study, because there are not any advice or limitation degrees for domestic medical purpose scintillation camera.

A method for determining dead times of a G.M. detector as a function of the count rate has been investigated using the Mn$^{56}$ radioactive sample. The formula, (equation omitted), seems to be useful for determining a relation between the dead time and the count rate. Here (equation omitted)(N$_1$) is the dead time for the count rate N$_1$, N$_1$is the count rate at time zero, Nt is the count rate at time t, λ is the radioactive decay constant of the sample used, and t is the time between the first and second runs. When all the counting data were corrected for the dead times evaluated with this formula and then a variation of these corrected counting data with rime was observed, the results showed quite a good agreement with the published data for the radioactive decay of Mn$^{56}$ . Besides, it appears that the dead time decreases as the count rate increases in a dead time-to-count rate relation obtained by the same formula.

ZnwO₄는 높은 품질계수에 의해 주파수 선택성이 뛰어나지만 다층형태의 고주파 무선부품으로의 응용을 위해서는 높은 소결온도(1100℃), 큰 음의 공진주파수 온도계수(-70ppm/℃), 낮은 유전율(15.5) 둥에 대한 보정이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 ZnwO₄에 TiO₂ 및 LiF를 첨가하여 ZnwO₄의 저손실특성을 유지하면서 주파수 온도안정성 및 저온소결성을 부여하고자 하였다. 큰 양의 공진주파수 온도계수(＋400ppm/℃) 및 유전율(100)을 갖는 TiO₂의 첨가는 공진주파수 온도계수를 음의 값에서 양의 값으로 변화시켰으며 유전율의 증가를 가져왔다. TiO₂를 20 mol％ 첨가한 경우 공진주파수 온도 계수가 0에 가깜고 유전율 19.4에 품질계수 50000㎓의 특성을 얻을 수 있었으나 소결온도는 1100℃로 높은 소결온도를 보였다. ZnwO₄에 TiO₂가 첨가된 혼합체에 LiF의 첨가는 액상형성에 의해 소결온도를 1100℃에서 850℃로 크게 저하시킬 수 있었다. LiF는 첨가는 LiF 자체의 큰 공진주파수 온도계수에 의해 온도계수를 음의 값으로 변화시켰다. 따라서 TiO₂ 및 LiF의 적당량의 첨가는 온도 안정성을 갖는 저손실 ZnwO₄-TiO₂-LiF계 LTCC 소재를 제조할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 낙동강 본류에서 10년(2008~2017) 동안 관측된 자료의 월별 평균 자료를 이용하여, DO, BOD, COD의 시공간 변동 및 그 영향인자들과의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 관측소별 수질은 상류에서 하류로 갈수록 나빠졌으며, BOD와 COD는 ST5에서 가장 높았다. 10개 관측소별 수질성분의 상관성을 분석한 결과, DO와 수온의 상관계수는 -0.90 이상이고, BOD와 Chl-a의 상관계수는 0.48~0.85, COD와 TOC의 상관계수는 ST5와 ST10 관측소를 제외하고 0.65 이상이었다. 모든 관측소 자료를 이용한 회귀분석 결과, 수온과 DO는 감소하는 선형함수로서 결정계수는 0.90, chl-a와 BOD는 증가하는 파워함수로서 결정계수는 0.83, TOC와 COD는 증가하는 로그함수로서 결정계수는 0.58 정도이었다. 10개 관측소별 TOC 분해율을 산정한 결과, BOD에 의한 분해율의 평균은 15.5~36.3%, COD에 의한 분해율의 평균은 57.4~89.6%의 범위로 나타났다.

연구지역에서 설치된 6개의 관정을 대상으로 양수시험을 실시하였다. Neuman method를 이용하여 연구지역의 투수량계수(transmisivity)와 저유계수(storativity) 및 비산출율(specific yield)을 구한결과 투수량계수는 1$\times$$10^{-6}$~9.135$\times$$10^{-6}$ $m^2$/s 이며, 저유계수는 0.0002~0.0085, 비산출율은 0.3~0.4의 값을 보인다. 계산된 투수량 계수를 이용하여 수리전도도(hydraulic conductivity)를 구하였다. 양수정의 심도보다. 깊은 관정에서 계산된 수리상수 값은 큰 값을, 얕은 관정에서는 작은 값을 보여 양수시험시 양수정과 관측정의 깊이에 대해 고려가 필요하다.
