A baffle system for an airglow photometer, which will be on board the Korea Sounding Rocket-III(KSR-III), has been designed to suppress strong solar scattered lights from the atmosphere below the earth limb. Basic principles for designing a baffle system, such as determination of baffle dimensions, arrangement of vanes inside a baffle tube, and coating of surfaces, have been reviewed from the literature. By considering the constraints of the payload size of the KSR-III and the incident angle of solar light scattered from the earth limb, we first determined dimensions of a two-stage baffle tube for the airglow photometer. We then calculated positions and heights of vanes to prohibit diffusely reflected lights inside the baffle tube from entering into the photometer. In order to evaluate performance of the designed baffle system, we have developed a ray tracing program using a Monte Carlo method. The program computed attenuation factors of the baffle system on the order of $10^{-6}$ for angles larger than $10^{\circ}$, which satisfies the requirements of the KSR-III airglow experiment. We have also measured the attenuation factors for an engineering model of the baffle system with a simple collimating beam apparatus, and confirmed the attenuation factors up to about $10^{-4}$. Limitation of the apparatus does not allow to make more accurate measurements of the attenuation factors.

The mass attenuation coefficients (μ_m) of polyethylene glycol (PEG) of different molecular weights (1000-200,000) were measured using single-beam photon transmission. The X-ray fluorescent (XRF) photons from Zinc (Zn), Zirconium (Zr), Molybdenum (Mo), Silver (Ag) and Cadmium (Cd) targets were used to determine the attenuation of gamma radiation of energy range between 8.67 and 23.19 keV in PEG samples. The results were compared to theoretical values using XCOM and Monte Carlo simulation using Geant4 toolkit which was developed to validate the experiment at those certain energies. The mass attenuation coefficients were then used to compute the effective atomic numbers, electron density and half value layers for the studied samples. The outcomes showed good agreement between experimental and simulated results with those calculated theoretically by XCOM within 5% deviation. The PEG 1000 sample showed slightly higher μ_m value compared with the other samples. The dependence of the photon energy and PEG composition on the values of μ_m and HVL were investigated and discussed. In addition, the values of Z_eff and N_eff for all PEG samples behaved similarly in the given photon energy range, and they decreased as the photon energy increased.

In the present study, six silicone rubber doped by tellurium borate oxides were fabricated using the casting method. The densities of the fabricated silicon rubber-doped by tellurium borate oxides samples were measured using the Archimedes Method. Moreover, the linear attenuation coefficient of silicone rubber doped tellurium borate oxides samples was evaluated experimentally using the hyper pure germanium, and the recorded linear attenuation coefficient values were affirmed using the theoretical Phy-X program. The experimental measurements were performed using the narrow beam transmission method with radioactive isotopes Am-241, Cs-137, and Co-60 with energies of 59, 661, 1173, and 1332 keV. The linear attenuation coefficient values showed an enhancement by 4.73 times, 1.20 time, 1.17, time, and 1.17 time, respectively at gamma photon energies of 59, 661, 1173, and 1332 keV, when the TeO₂ concentration increased in the fabricated composites from 0 to 50 wt%. The enhancement of the linear attenuation coefficient values has a positive effect on the transmission rate values where the half-value thickness and transmission rate were decreased accompanied by an increase in the RPE.

고체 시료를 대상으로 하여 silicon wafer에는 $90^{\circ}$ wedge형 진동자를 사용하고 압전재료인 $LiTaO_3$에는 interdigital transducer(IDT)를 사용하였으며, knife edge를 이용한 광학적 검지(optical probing)법을 써서 표면탄성파의 발생 및 측정하는 기법으로써 재료에서의 표면탄성파의 감쇠를 검출하는 방법을 연구하였다. IDT1 및 IDT2로는 20.8 MHz와 14.5 MHz를, $90^{\circ}$ wedge형 진동자로부터는 20.0 MHz의 표면탄성파를 발생시켰으며 표면탄성파로 생기는 표면의 굴곡을 검출하는데 He-Ne laser beam을 이용하였다. Optical chopper로 변조시킨 laser beam을 같은 주파수로 변조시킨 표면탄성파에 입사시켜 산란되는 광을 같은 주파수로 동조된 lock-in amplifier로 검출하였다. 이와 같이 함으로써 검출할 표면탄성파와 검출에 사용된 laser beam 및 측정기기인 위상감지기(Phase Sensitive Detector : PSD)를 같은 주파수로 변조하여 동기시킬 수 있었으며 측정계를 단순화하였다. IDT1, IDT2에서 발생된 표면탄성과의 감쇠계수는 각각 $0.62{\sim}0.75dB/mm,\;0.60{\sim}0.72dB/mm$였으며 wedge형 진동자에서는 $0.83{\sim}1.28dB/mm$인 값을 얻었다.

An experimental study on LII signal images from soot particles in a flame has been carried out in order to investigate the effect of the incident laser characteristics. By changing the wavelength of the incident laser beam, the LII signal was saturated at smaller laser power with 532 nm than 1,064 nm. This implies that the larger absorption coefficient of soot particles at 532 nm would influence the LII signal characteristic. Using the deconvolution technique, the projected LII line images were coverted to reconstruct the local LII signals inside the beam. The results show that the LII images at ICCD camera result from the integration of LII signal across the laser beam.

In situ particle size spectra are obtained from two sequent cruises in order to evaluate the physical consequences of suspended particulate matters caused by episodic storm runoff from the Santa Ana River watershed, an urbanized coastal watershed. Suspended particles from various sources including surface runoff, near-bed resuspension, and phytoplankton are identified in empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis and an entropy-based parameterization (Shannon entropy). The first EOF mode is associated with high turbidity and fine particles as indicated by the elevated beam attenuation near the Santa Ana River and Newport Bay outlets, and the second EOF mode explains the suspended sediment dispersal and particle coarsening at the near-surface plume. Chlorophyll particles are also distinguished by negative magnitudes of the first EOF mode, which is supported by the relationship between fluorescence and beam attenuation. The integrated observation between the first EOF mode and the Shannon entropy index accentuates the characteristics of two different structures and/or sources of sediment particles; the near-surface plumes are originated from runoff water outflow, while the near-bottom particles are resuspended due to increased wave heights or mobilizing bottom turbidity currents. In a coastal pollution context, these methods may offer useful means of characterizing particle-associated pollutants for purposes of source tracking and environmental interpretation.

The concentration and size analysis of in-situ suspended particulate material were measured using an optical instrument, LISST-100, in the bottom layer at the three inlets of the Seomjin River Estuary, mouth of Gwangyang bay, and Gwangyang bay-side of the Namhae Bridge. In the Seomjin river estuary and mouth of Gwangyang bay-side of the Namhae Bridge, the in-situ mean grain size of the suspended material changed from a uni-modal distribution with a dominant peak at a coarse fraction to a bi-modal distribution with a secondary peak at the finer particles. Seomjin River. The interactions between suspended particulate concentration and beam attenuation coefficient of suspended particulate matters depended on the supply of finer and coarser particles in the mouth of Gwangyang Bay and Seomjin River. So, interactions reflected difference of the concentration, mean size and sorting of suspended particulate matters. The difference of interaction showed dynamic behaviors to the resuspension and deflocculation processes increased river discharge. This showed that it may be possible to use the interactions between the suspended particle concentration and beam attenuation coefficient to monitor the temporal and spatial distributions of in-situ particles.

방사선조사시 선량분포에 영향을 미치는 여러가지 요소들 중에서 조직불균등성은 선량을 상당히 변화시킨다. 특히, 중뇌강은 여러골조직으로 구성되어 있어 조직 불균등성에 따른 상당한 선랑감쇠가 예상된다. 6 MV X-선 조사후 중두개와에서의 선량분포측정은 LiF TLD 소자를 이용하였으며 같은 측정장소에서, 계산에 의한 예상선량과 실측선량의 비교를 시도하였다. 계산에 의하면, 골조직 1 cm당 예상선량감쇠는 $3.74\%$를 나타내었다. 한편, 골조직을 고려한 예상선량과 실측선량의 차이는 매우 적었으며 $\pm0.21\%$의 오차범위내에서 일치됨을 나타내었다.

In this paper experimental tests were performed to evaluate velocities of the acoustic waves through prestressed concrete beam and source locations using AE technique. Seven AE sensors are mounted on the surface of 5m length test beam with equal spacing and using Schmidt Hammer AE events are made 18 locations. The velocities of AE signals are evaluated using the time differences of arrival times and the distances between the AE source loactions and the AE sensor locations. In addition, using the Least Square Method, the AE source locations are re-evaluated reversely using both of the arrival times and the velocities of AE signals. Test results show the average velocity of the AE signals is about 4,000m/sec and the velocity decreased with the increase of the trevalling times due to the effect of attenuation. Based on the estimation of the source locations, it is observed that the accuracy of source location is increased when the velocity of each AE sensor used rather than the average velocity.
