We have experimentally analyzed the self-radiation impedance of an ultrasonic transducer with a square radiation surface that is used as a vibrator in underwater ultrasonic detection systems. The radiation reactance and the radiation resistance were measured in the range from 1 to 3 of ka that is the product of a wave number and a length of the edge of the square vibrator. By comparing the measured results with those of theoretical calculation of the radiation impedance using a series, we confirmed the validity of the experimental method and experimentally confirmed the variation trend in the radiation impedance of the square radiation surface.

Absorption spectra of biological specimens in the soft X-ray region have been presented with special reference to the XANES (X-ray absorption Near Edge Structure) of constituent elements. Absorption spectrum in this wavelength region is characterized by the absorption edges from which elemental content could be derived. In addition, XANES has a characteristic profile for chemical environment around the element such as chemical bond. Using the specific absorption peak we can assign not only the chemical bond but also molecules having such a chemical bond. In the present paper, absorption spectrum of DNA was measured in the wavelength range from 1.5nm to 5nm. Spectrum of Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells was compared with the DNA spectrum. XANES were distinct at the K absorption edges of major elements, C, N and O. In the spectrum of the cells prominent peaks at the L absorption edge of minor element Ca were also detectable. XANES profiles in small local areas in a cell could also be measured in combination with X-ray microscopy. These give information about local chemical environment in a cell. XANES at the phosphorus K absorption edge in a human HeLa cell was successfully obtained corresponding to a sharp and intensive XANES peak of DNA.

This manuscript work presents a comprehensive continuum model capable to investigate the effect of porosity on vibro-acoustic behaviour of functionally graded (FG) beams resting on an elastic foundation subjected to thermal and mechanical loadings. Effects of uniform temperature rise and edge compressive load on the sound radiation characteristics are studied in a comparative manner. The numerical analysis is carried out by combining finite element method with Rayleigh's integral. Detailed parametric studies are accomplished, and influences of power law index, porosity volume, porosity distribution and boundary conditions on the vibro-acoustic response characteristics are analyzed. It is found that the vibro-acoustic response under mechanical edge compression is entirely different compared to from that under the thermal load. Furthermore, nature of grading of porosity affects the sound radiation behaviour for both the loads. The proposed model can be used to obtain the suppression performance of vibration and noise FG porous beams under thermal and mechanical loads.

Because of the high energy of the treatment beam, contrast of portal films is very poor. Many image processing techniques have been applied to the portal images but a significant drawback is the loss of definition on the edges of the treatment field. Analysis of this problem shows that it may be remedied by separating the treatment field from the background prior to enhancement and uslng only the pixels within the field boundary in the enhancement procedure. A new edge extraction algorithm for accurate extraction of the radiation field boundary from portal Images has been developed for contrast enhancement of portal images. In this paper, portal image segmentation algorithm based on Sobel filtration, labelling processes and morphological thinning has been presented. This algorithm could automatically search the optimal threshold value which is sensitive to the variation of the type and quality of portal images.

The cancellation method of P/G(power/ground) plane resonances which are generated between the power plane and the ground plane in a 4-layer PCB(Printed Circuit Boards) with a via-hole for the improvement of the RE(Radiated Emission) characteristic is presented. The validity of the proposed method was confirmed from simulation and measurement of performances of signal transmission characteristic, intensities of edge-radiation and radiated emission of PCB with a via-hole.

In this paper, W-type reflector antennas modified from corner reflector antenna structure were proposed and the radiation characteristics were analyzed using the method of moments. The analysis results such as gain, F/B, half power beamwidth, and radiation pattern are presented as functions of dipole height h and back edge spacing d. Also, the proposed antenna was compared with corner reflector antennas in the same size of side reflectors, W-type reflector antenna was found to exhibit somewhat higher gain and larger F/B than corner reflector antennas. To verify the analysis results, W-type reflector antenna was fabricated and the radiation characteristics were measured. The measured results show good agreement with the calculated results.

Under the heavy irradiation, when the production and the recombination of interstitials and vacancies are included, the diffusion equations become nonlinear. An effort has been made to arrange an appropriated transformation of these nonlinear differential equations to soluble Poisson's equations, so that analytical solutions for simultaneously calculating the concentrations of interstitials and vacancies in the angular dependent Cottrell's potential of the edge dislocation have been derived from the well-known Green's theorem and perturbation theory.

Under the heavy irradiation of crystalline materials when the production and the recombination of interstitials and vacancies are included, the diffusion equations become nonlinear. An effort has been made to arrange an appropriate transformation of these nonlinear differential equations to more solvable Poisson's equations, finally analytical solutions for simultaneously calculating the concentrations of interstitials and vacancies in the angular dependent Cottrell's potential of the edge dislocation have been derived from the well-known Green's theorem and perturbation theory.

In this paper, we calculate the light photons collection efficiency of large-volume plastic scintillation detector mainly used for radiation portal monitor (RPM). A Monte Carlo light photon transport code, DETECT2000, were used to quantitatively evaluate light collection efficiency of plastic scintillation detector. DETECT2000 calculated the placement of light collection efficiency based on the energy spectrum. We calculated the light collection efficiency relative to the position of the energy spectrum that proportional to the placement of the source. The $850{\times}285{\times}65mm^3$ size of polyvinyl toluene (PVT) scintillator was used for measurements. Through DETECT2000 simulation, the light collection efficiency of $5{\times}5$ arrays were calculated and verification was performed by comparing with experimentally measured. And then, the corrected MCNP simulation by applying the light collection efficiency in $21{\times}13$ arrays was compared and analyzed. Comparing the Monte Carlo simulation with measured results, it shows an average difference of 10.1% in $5{\times}5$ arrays. Particularly, about twice of the difference was found in the edge of first column, which coupled with PMT. In whole $5{\times}5$ array, the overall ratio was the same except for the first column. And then comparing the energy spectra of the $21{\times}13$ array with and without the light collection efficiency, it shows a difference of 6.69% in Compton edge area. The DETECT2000 based light collection efficiency simulation showed well agreement with the point source experiment. And comparing with measured energy spectra, we could compare the differences according to whether or not the light collection efficiency was applied. As a results, it is possible to increase the accuracy and reliability of Monte Carlo simulation results by pre-calculating the light collection efficiency according to the PVT geometry by using the DETECT2000.
