To improve hygienic quality of vegetable fresh juice containing non-thermal process materials, an irradiation technology ($0{\sim}5\;kGy$) was applied and microbiological and physicochemical changes were evaluated during storage. The initial number of total aerobic bacteria of vegetable fresh juice containing non-thermal process materials was $4.8{\times}10^3\;CFU/mL$ and the number was increased during storage. At day 7, the number reached $3.0{\times}10^5\;CFU/mL$. However, the samples gamma-irradiated at $1{\sim}5\;kGy$ were $1.2{\times}10^2{\sim}1.0{\times}10^3\;CFU/mL$, which was lower than that of control and higher than 3 kGy irradiation, showing more than a decimal reduction. The lightness and yellowness of irradiated sample was higher than control but no difference was found among storage days; whereas, redness was decreased by gamma irradiation with no difference found among storage days. Ascorbic acid and carotenoid contents were decreased by irradiation treatment and increase of storage days. There were no changes in flavonoid contents; however, the content of polyphenols was increased by irradiation of sample.

Changes in volatile organic compounds were investigated during storage after electron beam irradiation. Grapes were irradiated at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1.0 kGy and stored for 1 month at $4^{\circ}C$. Butanol, hexanal, [E]-2-hexenal, hexanol, and 3-methyl-butanol were the major volatile organic compounds of grapes. The types of volatiles in irradiated grapes were similar to those of non-irradiated samples but concentration differed among treatments. Some volatile compounds decreased during storage, whereas others, especially the esters, increased. Concentration of most volatile compounds were higher in pre-stored grapes than in post-stored fruit (thus, during the 30 days after irradiation by e-beam). Consequently, concentration of volatile organic compounds either increased or decreased after e-beam irradiation but these changes did not correlate with irradiation dose.

Because of the diversity of tumor types and the relative rarity of salivary gland neoplasm, exact diagnosis and treatment decision have been difficult. Seventy cases of salivary gland tumors which were diagnosed at our hospital from January 1981 to December 1992 were reviewed according to age, sex, site, presenting symptoms, staging, histology, and outcome, retrospectively. The following results were obtained ; 1) Of all salivary gland tumors, 35 cases(50%) arose in the parotid gland, 16 cases(23%) in the submandibular gland, and 19 cases(27%) in the minor salivary glands. 2) There were 55(79%) benign tumors, and 15(21 %) malignant tumors. The most frequent benign tumor was pleomorphic adenoma(89%), and malignant tumor was adenoid cystic carcinoma(40%). 3) The symptoms varied in duration from several weeks to 26 years. 29 cases(41 %) had symptoms for one to five years. 4) Among the parotid and submandibular glands, postoperative facial nerve paralysis was occurred 9 cases(18%). Recurrence was seen in 4 cases(6%).

We present a novel electrochemical method to fabricate a single Pd nanowire based on direct current assisted dielectropheresis (DEP) process between two predefined metal electrodes. The electrochemical methods was investigated as functions of frequency and voltage for optimal growth conditions of Pd nanowire. The synthesized Pd nanowire have a good resistance of $1\;k{\Omega}$, diameters of several hundred nanometers on average and lengths of $8\;{\mu}m$. Finally, the single Pd nanowire was capable of detecting hydrogen in the concentration range from 100 to 2500 ppm with high sensitivity and response time, thus demonstrating its suitability for use as a hydrogen sensor.

방화선 구축 작업은 산불확산이 진행되고 있는 화선으로부터 확산진행방향의 연소물질을 제거하여 화염이 확산되지 않도록 하는 대표적인 간접진화 방법이다. 하지만 방화선 구축 폭에 대한 기준은 산불진화 경험을 통해 약 0.5~1.5m폭으로 작업하는 것으로 알려져 있고 열전달 수치해석 및 실험 등을 통해 아직 구명된 바 없다. 이에 본 연구에서는 소나무 낙엽층을 대상으로 풍속 0~5m/s, 경사 $0{\sim}50^{\circ}$의 조건에 대해 복사열전달 수치해석을 이용하여 방화선 구축 폭을 산정하였다. 그 결과, 복사열유속에 의한 낙엽의 발화가 발생하지 않는 거리는 각 조건별 평균화염높이에 대해서는 0.35~0.65m, 최대화염높이에 대해서는 0.75~1.05m로 산정되었다. 따라서 안전율을 고려한 적정 방화선 구축 폭은 최대화염높이를 적용한 1.05m가 적합할 것으로 판단되며 향후, 실험 및 현장사례조사를 통한 적정 방화선 구축 폭에 대한 비교분석 연구가 추가적으로 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

산불의 확산형태 중 지표화 확산을 방지하기 위해 대표적인 진화방법으로는 방화선을 구축하는 것이다. 지표화는 산림의 연료중 낙엽층, 잔가지 등 지표면의 연료층이 열분해되면서 확산되기 때문에 방화선 구축을 통해 연료층을 제거하면 지표화 확산을 저지할 수 있다. 하지만 방화선 구축 폭에 따라 산불확산 방지 효과가 크게 달라질 수 있으므로 적정한 방화선 구축 폭을 설정하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 적정 방화선 구축 폭을 살펴보기 위해 풍동시험장치를 이용하여 풍속 0, 1, 2, 3m/s조건에서 지표화 화염으로부터 이격 거리에 따른 온도측정과 함께 방화선 구축 폭에 따른 확산가능 여부를 평가하였다. 50cm 폭의 소나무 낙엽에 대한 풍속별 지표화 방화선 구축 실험결과, 풍속 3m/s에서 화염으로부터 소나무 낙엽의 착화온도인 $311^{\circ}C$에 도달하는 거리가 약 0.65m로 나타났고 풍속이 낮을수록 착화온도 도달거리가 줄어드는 것을 알 수 있다. 실제 0.6m 방화선 구축의 경우, 화염이 계속 확산되었고 0.65m 이상의 방화선 구축시에는 화염확산이 이루어지지 않았다. 따라서 향후, 수치해석을 이용한 열유속 평가 결과와 함께 본 연구의 실험결과와 비교평가 함으로써 지표화 산불확산 방지를 위한 적정 방화선 구축 폭 산정을 평가하고자 한다.

최근, 산화물 반도체를 통한 나노선 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 1차원 나노선은 넓은 표면적을 가지며 다양한 특성을 지녀 미래 nanodevice로의 중요한 building block 소자로의 활용이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 이종의 나노선을 합성하여 hierarchical nanojunction structure를 제작, 특성을 확인하였다. 이러한 구조는 나노선이 가지는 넓은 표면적의 특성과 동시에, multi-component fuctional nanodevice를 구현하는데에 적합한 구조이다. 본 연구는 텅스텐 기판 위에 고온의 열증착 방식을 이용하여 텅스텐 산화물 나노선을 제작시켜 그 위에 저온의 수열합성을 통한 산화아연 나노선을 제작한 후 향상된 field emission emitter로서의 특성을 살펴보았다. 합성된 텅스텐 산화물 나노선은 quasi-allign된 구조를 가지며, 이러한 구조 위에 ZnO를 스퍼터링하여 seed layer를 형성시키고, 암모니아수와 아연염을 이용한 수열합성법을 통하여 합성된 나노선 위에 nanobranch의 산화아연 나노선을 형성하였다. 이러한 성장특성은 SEM, TEM을 통하여 확인하였고 각각의 특성과 계면을 살펴보았다. 또한 이러한 구조를 이용하여 전계방출특성을 확인하였는데, 약 5.7 eV의 일함수를 갖는 텅스텐 산화물 나노선 위에 더 작은 값의 일함수를 갖는 산화아연 나노선을 합성하여 전계방출특성을 보았으며, 더 향상된 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 산화아연의 합성방법에 따른 전계방출 특성의 차이도 비교하였다.

A practical calculation algorithm which calculates the relative output factor(ROF) for irregular shaped electron field has been developed and evaluated the accuracy of the algorithm. The algorithm adapted two-source model, which assumes that the electron dose can be express as sum of the primary source component and the scattered component from the shielding block. Original two-source model has been modified in order to make the algorithm simpler and to reduce the number of parameters needed in the calculation, while the calculation error remains within clinical tolerance range. The primary source is assumed to have Gaussian distribution, while the scattered component follows the inverse square law. Depth and angular dependency of the primary and the scattered are ignored ROF can be calculated with three parameters such as, the effective source distance, the variance of primary source, and the scattering power of the block. The coefficients are obtained from the square shaped-block measurements and the algorithm is confirmed from the rectangular or irregular shaped-fields used in the clinic. The results showed less than 1.0 ％ difference between the calculation and measurements for most cases. None of cases which have bigger than 2.1 ％ have been found. By improving the algorithm for the aperture region which shows the largest error, the algorithm could be practically used in the clinic, since one can acquire the 1011 parameter's with minimum measurements(5∼6 measurements per cones) and generates accurate results within the clinically acceptable range.

The gamma irradiation process was performed to prolong a shelf-life of peaches and the effects of a gamma irradiation on the nutritional, physiochemical and sensory characteristics of peaches were evaluated during a post-irradiation storage at $4^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$. Nutritional, physiochemical and sensory characteristics of peaches were stable at 1 kGy of an irradiation, a recommended dose for fruits and vegetables by CODEX, and the viable cell counts of contaminated microorganisms were reduced by 2 decimal reduction, at this dose. After a 1-week storage at ambient condition, the microbiological quality of the 1 kGy irradiated peach was stable, while all the non-irradiated peaches were deteriorated Furthermore, cold storage enhanced the shelf-life of the gamma irradiated peach and the nutritional and physiochemical characteristics of the peaches were comparatively stable up to 6 weeks. Right after gamma irradiation, the sensory evaluation results were not different in any of the samples, and the sensory quality of the irradiated peaches was adequate for a 4-week storage at $4^{\circ}C$. Our results suggested that gamma irradiation at 1 kGy can be used to enhance the shelf-life of peach without a significant loss in the quality attributes, especially upon cold storage after radiation treatment.

This paper presents an interval type-2 fuzzy C-spherical shells (FCSS) algorithm that is an extension of the type-1 FCSS algorithm proposed in (1). In our proposed method, the membership values for each pattern vector are extended as interval type-2 fuzzy memberships by assigning uncertainty to the type-1 memberships. By doing so, the cluster boundary obtained by the interval type-2 FCSS can be found to be more desirable than that of type-1 FCSS in the presence of noise. Experimental results are given to show the effectiveness of our method.
