This study evaluated the effects of $\gamma$-irradiation on immunomodulating properties and structural changes of ${\beta}$-glucan. ${\beta}$-Glucan solutions (10 mg/mL) were ${\gamma}$-irradiated at 10, 30, and 50 kGy. Splenocyte proliferation and cytokine (interferon-${\gamma}$ and interlukin-2) productions by ${\gamma}$-irradiated ${\beta}$-glucan were evaluated in in vivo and in vitro, and structural changes of ${\beta}$-glucan were also determined after ${\gamma}$-irradiation. ${\gamma}$-Irradiation on ${\beta}$-glucan at 50 kGy enhanced splenocyte proliferation and cytokine productions, (p<0.05) and cleft glycosidic bonds of ${\beta}$-glucan resulting in lower the molecular weight. These results indicate that the use of ${\gamma}$-irradiation on ${\beta}$-glucan may be useful for improving its immunological activity by lowering the molecular weight of ${\beta}$-glucan.

Radiation technique has been used to develope mutant rice. Suwon 345 rice seeds were irradiated with 250 Gy gamma ray. Morphological characteristics of the variants in M$_{8}$ generation were observed and random amplified polymorphic DNA(RAPD) analysis was carried out. Plant height, panicle length, 1,000 grain weight and lodging were very different in mutants compared with donor cultivar. RAPD analysis showed that polymorphic bands were presented in several primers of the mutants. In comparison with original variety, variants were classified into four group through UPGMA analysis. A group has mutation trait in panicle length, B group in plant height and C group in 1,000 grain weight. Among mutants, no. 46 and 147 was ranked as salt tolerance and the malonaldehyde content of these mutants was more increased than that of original variety. Valuable mutants obtained will be useful for developing new cultivars and for studing gene function in molecular level.l.

본 연구는 녹차가루가 포함된 유과의 섭취가 실험동물의 체중 및 혈중 지질변화에 미치는 영향에 관하여 평가하였다. 원산지가 다른 총 5종의 녹차(부초차, 옥로차, 용정차, 우롱차, 홍차)를 첨가하여 유과를 제조한 후 사료와 혼합하여 마우스에 섭취시킨 결과 유과 단독 섭취군에 비하여 녹차가 첨가된 유과를 섭취한 실험동물에서 체중 및 혈중 콜레스테롤 수치가 유의적으로 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으며, 간 조직 및 복부지방의 조직의 검경결과 간세포의 염증 억제, 복부 지방세포의 무게 및 크기 감소 등의 효과가 관찰되었다. 따라서 유과의 제조 시 녹차가루의 첨가는 기존 유과가 지닌 단점을 개선시킬 수 있는 효과적인 방법이라 사료된다.

As part of a fundamental study on the volume reduction of contaminated concrete wastes, the separation characteristics of the aggregates and the distribution of the radioactivity in the aggregates were investigated. Radioisotope $^{60}Co$ was artificially used as a model contaminant for non-radioactive crushed concrete waste. Volume reduction for radioactively contaminated dismantled concrete wastes was carried out using activated heavy weight concrete taken from the Korea Research Reactor 2 (KRR-2) and light weight concrete from the Uranium Conversion Plant (UCP). The results showed that most of the $^{60}Co$ nuclide was easily separated from the contaminated dismantled concrete waste and was concentrated mainly in the porous fine cement paste. The heating temperature was found to be one of the effective parameters in the removal of the radionuclide from concrete waste. The volume reduction rate achieved was above 80% for the KRR-2 concrete wastes and above 75% for the UCP concrete wastes by thermal and mechanical treatment.

Assessment of structural behaviour of corrosion affected structures is an important issue, which would help in making certain decisions pertaining to the inspection, repair, strengthening, replacement and demolition of such structures. The paper presents formulations to predict the loss of weight and the loss of cross-sectional area of the reinforcing bar undergoing corrosion based on the earlier study carried out by the present authors (Bhargava et al. 2006). These formulations have further been used to analytically evaluate the ultimate bending moment and ultimate shear force capacity of the corroded concrete beams. Results of the present study indicate that, a considerably good agreement has been observed between the experimental and the analytically predicted values for the weight loss and reduction in radius of the corroded reinforcing bars. A considerably good agreement has also been observed between the experimental and the analytically predicted values of ultimate bending moment and ultimate shear force capacity for the corroded concrete beams.

방사선 조사미(照射米)의 안전성연구(安全性硏究)에 관한 제3차년도 실험으로서 전년도에 사용한 마우스의 $F_1$세대에서 번식시킨 $F_2$세대에 대하여 50 및 100 Krad의 감마선을 조사(照射)한 미곡(米穀)으로 생육조사(生育調査)를 실시하였다. 그 결과 감마선 조사실험구(照射實驗區)와 비조사실험구(非照射實驗區)간에 있어서 마우스의 증체량(增體量), 번식율(繁殖率), 사망률(死亡率) 및 이유시(離乳時) 생육상태(生育狀態)에 있어서 유의성(有意性)있는 차이를 보여주지 아니하였다.

An AHP-based framework for comprehensive comparison of several power technologies haas been developed. A questionnaire has been designed and is about to surveyed for extracting boty weight vectors and subjective evaluation values. The attitude of evaluator groups will be incorporated into these two types of quantification.

As the plants are classified as a bulk facility by the Agency's safeguards criteria, the Material Balance Evaluation is a good tool to timely detect diversion that will be accomplished through the creation of defects as small as bias defects. Through all evaluations made by the Agency, it Is strongly recommended to report SRD based on both weight and enrichment, maintain the reliable MUF declaration and improve the gamma spectrometry measurement procedure. These recommendations have been now applied and are going on.

This paper presents a force control of a arm of walking training robot. The current gait training apparatus in hospital are ineffective for the difficulty in keeping constant unloading level and constraining patients to walk freely. The proposed walking training robot is designed to unload body weight effectively during walking. The walking training robot consists of unloading manipulator and mobile platform. The manipulator driven with a electro-mechanical linear mechanism unloads body weight in various level. The mobile platform is wheel type, which allows to patients unconstrained walking. Unloading system with electro-mechanical linear mechanism has been developed, which has advantages such as low noise level, light weight, low manufacturing cost and low power consumption. A system model for the manipulator ...

원자로의 가동중지 중이나. 재장전시 중기 발생기의 세관검사 및 보수작업을 병행하면 원전의 운전정지보수기 간을 현저하게 단축할 수 있다. 이때 원자로가 설치되어 있는 수조의 냉가수가 중기발생기내로 유입되는 것을 막는 장비로써 노즐댐이 있다. 노즐댐의 설치는 고방사선환경과 제한된 공간에서 작업을 해야 하는 특수성 때문에 작업자들이 기피하는 현상을 보인다. 현재 쓰이고 있는 무거운 노즐댐은 노즐댐설치 및 제거작업에 장애가 되는 가장 큰 요인이다. 본 논문에서는 노즐댐의 재질선정과 구조설계를 병행하여 현재 쓰이고 있는 노즐댐보다 가벼우면서도 굽힘강성 대 무게비와 비 강도가 증가된 노즐댐을 설계하였으며, 탄소섬유강화 복합재료로 경량노즐댐을 제작 완료하였다.
