With the increase in leisure life, the population of ski resorts is rapidly increasing. The activity at the ski resort is likely to receive a direct chance of natural sunlight or space ray. Because it is located in the mountains where altitude exists. As a general rule, it is widely known that the higher the elevation rate, the more increasing the natural radiation dose. However, the natural radiation dose rate for the ski slopes has not been reported yet. Various ski resorts exist in Korea, but this study had chose 4 ski resorts to measure the natural dose of natural radiation. As a result, the natural radiation dose for the ski slope was measured at a relatively high dose of ordinary living areas. However, the level of natural radiation dose was not worrisome. It is recommended to wear ski wear or goggles to minimize natural radiation exposure at the ski slopes.

Recently, the number of passengers using airplanes is rapidly increasing due to the increase of overseas travelers. Therefore, the probability of exposure to natural radiation due to altitude is increasing due to the increase in flight time. Cosmic-ray penetrates the Earth's magnetic field belt Van Allen, which is located at an altitude of 400 km to 1200 km. Most cosmic rays are blocked at Van Allen belt. However, cosmic-ray could be not completely blocked, and a small amount of cosmic-ray affects the earth. In general, if the altitude was increased by 100m, the natural exposure dose increased by 0.03 mSv on the Earth. In this study, I tried to minimize the exposure to natural radiation in airplanes when boarding airplanes. Especially, I was aimed to minimize radiation exposure by protecting the highly sensitive thyroid gland among human organs. According to the results of the study, the designed shielding handkerchief was able to shield cosmic natural radiation dose by more than 70%. In conclusion, the application of the shielding handkerchief made in this study can be effectively shield natural radiation.

환경방사선에 의한 전신피폭선량중 대부분은 자연방사선에 의한 것이며 또 지질의 차에 의한 지역차도 커서 이 레벨을 파악하는 것은 국민선량을 추정$\cdot$평가하는데 있어서 중요하다.

This study developed a PDA based wireless communication radiation measuring instrument using Bluetooth. The proposed system is composed of Student Radiation Monitor of Vernier using GM (Geiger Mueller) counter tube as a radiation measuring sensor, LabPro of Vernier as a module for data collection, Promi SD 101 of Initium, which can make Bluetooth communication up to 30 m, for wireless data transmission, and HP 5550 embedded with Pocket PC 2003 as OS for data storage and display. Because GM counter tube is used as a radiation measuring sensor, the system cannot measure radiation energy but measures count volume and count rate. When the result of natural radiation measuring by the PDA based system was compared with that by a PC based system, it was found that the proposed system transmits and receives data without distortion.

The Purpose of this study was to compare the degree of vortical head rotation and to evaluate the reproducibility of natural Head posture (NHP) according to two guiding methods, the head posture aligner (HPA) method and the solf balance posture (SBP) method. The subjects consisted of 30 adults. On the first day. lateral and frontal cephalometric radiographs were obtained through the two guiding methods. One mouth later. lateral and frontal cephalometric radiographs were obtained again through both guiding methods. The degrees of vertical head rotation of both guiding methods were compared and the reproducibility was evaluated for each guiding method. A comparison of the degrees of vortical head rotation for the two methods revealed that the vertical head posture was lower in the SBP method than in the HPA method by an average of $2.79^{\circ}$. All measurements obtained using the HPA and SBP methods with a time interval of one north did not show any significant difierence in lateral and frortal cephalometric radiographs. The results of the present study suggest that the SBP method may be used as an alternative to the HPA method in case the HPA method can not be applied.

Natural infection of purple stain seemed to be higher in early maturing lines comparing to late maturing group. It was positively correlated with length of the period from flowering to maturity and significantly associated with weather conditions during the maturing period.

Cosmic radiation environments having extremely high-energy particles and photons cause severe malfunctions of electrical components in space and terrestrial regions. In this study, we revisit basic knowledge on radiation effects in ICT electrical devices, such as single event effect, total ionizing dose, and displacement damage. To avoid such soft errors and system failures, we introduce essential technical approaches from the perspectives of materials, layouts, circuits, and systems, including current research trends. By considering several techniques and Space EEE part standards, we suggest possible directions that can invoke New Space Era technology.
