  • A bilateral comparison was conducted between the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) to measure the absorbed dose to water in accelerator photon beams. KRISS served as a linking laboratory to compare the IAEA standard with the key comparison reference value (KCRV) of the BIPM.RI(I)-K6 program, in which KRISS participated in 2017. Two ionization chambers from the IAEA were used as transfer instruments for the comparison. Both laboratories measured the calibration coefficients of these instruments and calculated the ratios. The ratio of the KRISS standard to the KCRV was applied to obtain the degree of equivalence of the IAEA, along with its uncertainty. The largest deviation of the IAEA measurement from the KCRV was 3.4 mGy/Gy, significantly smaller than the expanded uncertainty of 10.7 mGy/Gy (k = 2, 95% level of confidence). This study demonstrates the equivalence of IAEA's measurement standard for accelerator photon beams to other primary standard dosimetry laboratories. It provides evidence for the satisfactory operation of IAEA's quality management system and enhances the international credibility of the IAEA SSDL network, particularly in high-energy accelerator photon beams from linear accelerators.

  • The anisotropy of electron energy distribution in oxygen plasmas produced by a high intensity laser was investigated by using polarization spectroscopy. An ultra-short pulsed laser with a pulse duration of 66.5 fs and a power density of $1 {\times} 10^17/ W/$\textrm{cm}^2$$ was used. At this power density and pulse duration, the plasma was generated predominantly by optical field ionization. The degree of polarization of OVI 1s$^2$2p$^2$p2- 1s$^2$4d$^2$D$^{0}$ (J = 1/2-3/2 and 3/2-5/2) transition line at 129.92 $\AA$ was measured. O VI 1s$^2$2p$^2$P$^2$ -1s$^2$4s$^2$S$^2$ (J = 1/2-1/2 and 3/2-1/2) transition line at 132.26 $\AA$ was used to calibrate the sensitivity of the optical system. The dependencies of the degree of polarization on the initial gas density and on the laser polarization were investigated. When the laser polarization was changed from a linear to a circular polarization, the degree of polarization was decreased. When the initial gas density was increased, the degree of polarization was decreased.

  • A Sputter ion Plating(SIP) system with a r.f. coil electrode and the Facing Target Sputter(FTS) source was designed for high-quality thin film formation. The rf discharge was combined with DC facing target sputtering in order to enhance ionization degree of a sputtered atoms. The energy of ions incident on the substrate depended on the health potential of DC biased substrate. The mean impact ion energy increased with negative bias voltage and rf power. The adhesive force of the TiN film formed was in the range of 30$\sim$50N, and markedly influenced by substrate bias voltage.

  • To isolate a calcium-binding peptide from chlorella protein hydrolysates, chlorella protein was extracted and hydrolyzed using Flavourzyme, a commercial protease. The degree of hydrolysis and calcium-binding capacity were determined using trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid and orthophenanthroline methods, respectively. The enzymatic hydrolysis of chlorella protein for 6 hr was sufficient for the preparation of chlorella protein hydrolysates. The hydrolysates of chlorella protein were then ultra-filtered under 5 kDa as molecular weight. The membrane-filtered solution was fractionated using ion exchange, reverse phase, normal phase chromatography, and fast protein liquid chromatography to identify a calcium-binding peptide. The purified calcium-binding peptide had a calcium binding activity of 0.166 mM and was determined to be 700.48 Da as molecular weight, and partially identified as a peptide containing Asn-Ser-Gly-Cys based on liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrum.

  • This paper studied succinic acid recovery from organic acid mixture by using mono-polar membrane electrodialysis. Current efficiency, solute recovery efficiency, energy consumption, and separation factor were measured at various pHs and concentration ratios. The separation factor of succinic acid could be interpreted in terms of ionization degree, molecular weight, ionic conductance, average charge, and initial feed composition.

  • A soy protein hydrolysate was found to inhibit rat platelet aggregation induced by ADP, an aggregating agent. To find out its principal antiplatelet peptide(s), the soy protein hydrolysate was separated successively by gel filtration chromatography, revere-phase HPLC, and cation exchange HPLC. During the course of separation, we observed that most fractions had antiplatelet effects, which suggests that most peptides have some degree of antiplatelet effect. Following the inhibitory fractions, we purified and identified two new peptides, SSGE and DEE, by LC-electrospray ionization MS and peptide equencing. Both peptides were highly hydrophilic. The concentrations to obtain 50% inhibition ($IC_50$) of the aggregation intensity were approximately $\458muM$ and $\485muM$, respectively, for SSGE and DEE.

  • Recently, mass spectrometry coupled with liquid chromatography (LC/MS) has been a preferred technique for determination of organic compounds in complex matrixes. LC/MS provides a high degree sensitivity and specificity of the compounds of interest. The purpose of this study was to confirm analytical method of residual 6 benzimidazoles (thiabendazole, oxfendazole, mebendazole, albendazole, flubendazole and fenbendazole) in meat by LC/MS. Benzimidazoles were analyzed by LC/MS on XTerra $C_{18}$ column with 0.01% trifluoroacetic acid-acetonitrile (TFA) in a gradient mode as mobile phase, and that were identified by electrospray ionization with selected ion recording mode at 150-350 amu mass range. Residual benzimidazoles were extracted from tissue with ethylacetate, and elute benzimidazoles with $50\%$ acetonitrile. In the LC/MS analysis of benzimidazoles, signal to noise ratio was showed relatively high in the positive mode and special ion in the quality analysis was determined via $[M+H]^+$ and Fragment ions. A spectrum of benzimidazoles was showed from all 6 benzimidazoles

  • The effect of $Fe^{2+}$ and myoglobin on the oxidative stability of triglyceride molecular species was investigated at $25^{\circ}C$. The molecular species of soybean oil triglycerides were analyzed by capillary column gas chromatography and electron impact ionization mass spectrometry utilizing selected ion monitoring. When $Fe^{2+}$ and myoglobin were added to soybean oil triglycerides, the oxidative stability of each molecular species of triglycerides appeared to decrease in proportion to the increase in the number of double bonds present in the acyl residues, and it was affected by degree of unsaturation of fatty acid when the total degree of unsaturation of triglyceride was the same. But the length of the saturated acyl chain had no influence on the stabilization of unsaturated fatty acid present in the same glyceride when prooxidants were added.

  • The spatial dose distribution was measured with ionization chamber as preliminary study to evaluate operator dose and to study dose reduction during neuro-interventional procedures. The zone of operators was divided into four area (45, 135, 225, and 315 degree).We supposed that operator exist on the four area and indicated location of critical organs(eyes, breast, gonad). The spatial doses were measured depending on distance( 80, 100, 120, and 140 cm) and location of critical organs. The spatial doses of area of 225 degree were 114.5 mR/h (eyes location), 143.1 mR/h (breast location) and 147 mR/h (gonad location) in 80 cm. When changed location of x-ray generator, spatial dose increased in $18.1{\pm}10.5%$, averagely. We certified spatial dose in the operator locations, Using the results of this study, It is feasible to protect operator from radiation in neuro-interventional procedures.

  • In today's technological development of human society more and more influence on the lives of biological organisms different electromagnetic radiation. Therefore, the study and analysis of the mechanisms of their effects is an urgent task. The purpose of research - the study of the primary mechanisms of interaction of photons of optical radiation with the structures of biological objects, using the laws of quantum mechanics and biophysics. Photobiological basis of the mechanism of action of EMR optical range is the energy absorption of light quanta (photons) by atoms and molecules of biological structures (law Grotgus-Draper), which resulted in the formation of electronically excited states of these molecules with the transfer of photon energy (internal photoeffect). This is accompanied by electrolytic dissociation and ionization of biological molecules. The degree of manifestation of photobiological effects in the body depends on the intensity of the optical radiation, which is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source to the irradiated surface. Accordingly, in practice, determine not the intensity and irradiation dose at a certain distance from the source of exposure by the exposure time.
