Objectives of this study were to investigate influencing factors of detention time, particle size distribution, and filter medium characteristics for waterworks sludge dewatering. The stepped pressure filtration was carried out with lab scale apparatus and the filter press pilot test for dewatering was conducted at the water treatment plant. Effects of filter medium and polymer dose were examined through observing water content and dewatering velocity and cyclic dewatering rate with filter press pilot test. Relationships among detention time, particle size distribution and filtration resistance were analyzed. Prolongation of sludge detention time was found to cause blinding phenomenon in cake and filter medium and to decrease dewatering process efficiency. The average specific resistance increased according to detention time. In pilot test of dewatering for thickened sludge with Nylon Multi-NY840D and Nylon Mono-100% filter media, dewatering velocities were 0.92 and $0.93kg\;DS/m^2{\cdot}hr$ according to 0.1% polymer dose of dried solids weight base. And cyclic dewatering rates were 2.45 and $2.50kg\;DS/m^2{\cdot}cycle$ cycle for the Nylon Multi-NY840D and Nylon Mono-100% media. Dewatering velocity of polymer dosed sludge was observed to be higher than that of non-polymer sludge.

In this study, we have estimated error of calculation results for 5-type RTP systems and investigated a toleration for error of the RTPs referenced from the evaluation items of AAPM Report-62. For this study, we have introduced the concept of 'normal dose rate(NDR)' and compared the results of experiment and calculation from RTPs at the same reference level. The results from all RTPs were satisfied at various field shapes and heterogeneous phantom materials except the surface irregularity.

The survival rate and thermal, crystal, and physicochemical properties of starches in chinese yam tubers irradiated to proton beam were determined. Survival rate was decreased with increased proton beam irradiation. Amylose content of D. opposita starches from different proton beam ranged from 13.2% to 17.8%. D. opposita starch at 5 Gy showed the highest ${\Delta}H_{gel}$ values (12.0 J/g) while D. opposita starch at 25 Gy showed the lowest values (10.1 J/g). Several parameters such as PKV (peak viscosity), HPV (Hot peak viscosity) and CPV (Cooling peak viscosity) decreased with the increase in irradiation dose. The degrees of crystallinity of the D. opposita starches at 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 Gy were 37.2, 38.3, 38.9, 39.2 and 39.9%, respectively. It might be deduced that proton beam irradiation causes changes of starch, especially at high dose irradiation.

The roof tiles excavated from the mountain fortress at Namsan-ri Seocheon-gun in Chungnam province were dated by using SAR protocol, Sample preparation was done with the quartz exclusion method. The paleodoses from 6 kinds of roof tiles were obtained from OSL measurements and the does rates of the soil around the excavated roof tiles and the tile themselves were measured from ICP/MS and ICP/AES with the conversion table. From the evaluated paleodose and the dose rate, the age of the roof tiles were determined to be from(733 ± 50)AD to (1160 ± 50)AD and the error was less than 10%.

There is a need for waste recycling. This study was carried out to investigate removal efficiency of TCE in water treatment with adsorbent made from coffee grounds which obtained after extraction of coffee through hot water. The removal of TCE in synthetic Waste water using adsorbents was examined varying dose, concentration and temperature on a laboratory scale. The results were as followed 1. As much as 95% TCE remogal was possible with adsorbent made from coffee grounds at an adsorbent dose over 2.5 g/l under the test conditions. 2. The removal rate of TCE was propotional to weight of adsorbent made from coffee grounds (0.025, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5 g). 3. In the effect of temperature, as temperature of wastewater was high, the rate of removal was increased. 4. Iodine number (865 mg/g) of adsorbent made from coffee grounds was not higher than that (1123 mg/g) of adsorbent made from coconut. But, in considering adsorption capacity, Iodine number was inapplicable to adsorbent made from coffee grounds. 5. Generally, Freundlich's equation applies to adsorption in wastewater. In case of TCE, slope (1/n) was 0.83, 1.06 and intercept (k) was 456.18, 405.19 at 150, 300 ppb respectively (average r=0.904, 0.933).

In this study, we are measured gamma-ray induced loss on single-mode (SM) fibers from a total of four different manufactures. The $Co^{60}$ gamma-ray source was used in this test. The gamma-ray is irradiated for 2 hours at the dose rate of 0.6 kGy/hr, 1.2 kGy/hr, 2.4 kGy/hr. In test results, We clearly confirm the dose rate effect in different fiber types and evaluate the radiation sensitivity by the change of the radiation-induced loss.

A teratogenicity test of 'folpet' was carried out in the developing chick embryos to investigate and validate the safety of rural environmental hazardous materials. Folpet was administered to chick embryos' yolk sac at a rate of 0.1mg and 0.01mg per SPF eggs at 96 hours of incubation. The morphological changes were examined. Fertility ratio of SPF eggs used was 94.9%. Hatching rate of untreated control group was 74.4% and the group dosed with 100ul of corn oil into the yolk sac was 70.0%. The $LD_{50}$ of folpet was 0.663mg/100ul/egg. After hatching, mean body weight, body length, claw length and beak length of high and low dose administered groups were not significantly different from untreated and vehicle control group. There was no abnormal appearence in all the groups. Therefore it seems that, within the doses applied, folpet dose not induce potential teratogenicity in the developing chick embryos.

반도체 소자의 크기가 100 nm 이하로 감소되면 통상적인 이온 주입 조건인 이온 에너지, 조사량 및 이온 주입 각도뿐만 아니라 Dose Rate 및 모재 온도가 Dopant Profile을 조절하는 데에 있어서 매우 중요한 인자로 작용한다. 본 연구에서는 Ribbon-beam 및 Spot-beam을 사용하여 활성화 열처리 후 Dopant Profile을 분석하였다. 이온 주입은 모든 시편에서 $BF_2$를 가속 에너지 10 keV 및 조사량 $2{\times}10^{15}/cm^2$로 고정하였다. 이온 주입 후 도펀트 활성화는 100% 질소 분위기 하에서 $850^{\circ}C$-30s 조건으로 RTA 열처리를 수행하였다. Boron 및 Fluorine의 Profile은 SIMS 분석을 통하여 구하였다. Spot-beam은 Ribbon-Beam에 비하여 Dose Rate 및 Cooling Efficiency가 높기 때문에 이온 주입 후 더욱 많은 양의 Primary-defect를 발생시키고 이에 따라 두꺼운 비정질 충을 형성한다. $BF_2$ 이온 주입 된 시편에서 B 및 F의 농도 Peak-height는 a/c 계면에 위치하는 것을 관찰하였다. 또한 B 및 F의 농도 Peak-height는 Silicon 모재의 온도가 증가할수록 증가하는 것을 관찰하였다. Silicon 모재의 온도가 증가함에 따라 Active-area의 면저항이 변화하지 않는 상태에서 Vt (Threshold Voltage)가 급격히 감소함을 관찰 하였다. 비정칠 층의 두께가 증가할수록 a/c 계면 하단에 잔존하는 Residual-defect의 양이 감소하고 이는 측면확산을 감소시키는 역할을 한다는 것이 관찰되었다.

The Multi-Physics (MP) instrument is one of 20 neutron spectrometers planned in the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS). This paper presents a shielding calculation for the MP instrument using Monte Carlo codes MCNPX and FLUKA. First, the neutrons that escape from the CSNS decoupled water moderator and are delivered to the beam line of the MP instrument are calculated to use as the source term of the shielding calculation. Then, to validate the calculation method based on multiple variance reduction techniques, a cross check between MCNPX and FLUKA codes is performed by comparing the calculation results of the dose rate distribution on a simplified beam line model. Finally, a complete geometry model of the MP instrument is set up, and the primary parameters for the shielding design are obtained according to the calculated dose rate map considering different worst-case scenarios.

In order to detect the clinical effect of combelen which is used for sedation of domestic animals, 10 heads of clinically healthy Korean native goats were used in this study. They were divided into two groups; one is dose level of 1ml per 10 kg of body weight with 1% combelen and the other is dose level of 3 ml. Clinical observations and changes in blood components after administration of combelen were made. 1. There was no adverse effect due to combelen, but sedative effect was insufficient. 2. During sedative period the changes in heart rate and respiratory rate showed noticeable change, and body temperature was slightly decreased. 3. In ECG recordings, except for slight changes in T wave, significant change was not observed. 4. Erythrocytes, leukocytes, hemoglobin concentration and packed cell volume showed tendency to decrease during the period of sedation. 5. SGOT activity showed a remarkable increase and BUN showed a great decrease 24 hours after administration in the group of 3ml/10kg. Blood glucose level increased during the period of sedation in both groups.
