Carbon has numerous allotropes and various crystalline forms with full dimensionalities such as diamond, graphite, fullerenes, and carbon nanotubes leading a wide range of applications. Since the emerge of graphene consisting of a single atomic layer of carbon atoms, a fabrication of all-carbon-based device with combination of one-, two-, and three-dimensional carbons has become a hot issue. Here, we introduce an ultimate one-dimensional carbon atomic chain. Carbon atomic chains were experimentally created by removing atoms from monolayer graphene sheet under electron beam inside transmission electron microscope (TEM). A series of TEM images demonstrate the dynamics of carbon atomic chains over time from the formation, transformation, and then breakage.

Spotted wing drosophila (SWD) has emerged as a major invasive insect pest of small berry fruits in the Americas and Europe since the late 2000s. Thus, phytosanitary treatment of commodities for export is imperative to prevent the movement of viable SWD to newer areas. In the present study, all developmental stages of SWD were irradiated with different doses of gamma and electron beam radiation to assess developmental inhibition to identify potential quarantine doses of the radiations. Ionizing radiation induced developmental inhibition of all stages of SWD. The effective doses for 99% inhibition ($ED_{99}$) of hatching, pupariation, and adult emergence from irradiated eggs for gamma radiation were 882, 395 and 39 Gy, respectively, compared with 2849, 687, and 41 Gy, respectively, for electron beam radiation. The $ED_{99}$ for inhibition of pupariation and adult emergence in irradiated larvae were 703 and 47 Gy, respectively, for gamma radiation, and 619 and 33 Gy, respectively, for electron beam radiation. Pupal irradiation did not completely inhibit adult emergence, even at 300 Gy. However, irradiation with ${\geq}100Gy$ of puparia induced adult sterility, with no egg production at all. The $ED_{99}$ for inhibition of $F_1$ egg hatchability from adults irradiated with gamma radiation and electron beam radiation was estimated to be 424 and 125 Gy, respectively. The results of the present study suggest that gamma radiation and electron beam radiation are alternatives for phytosanitary treatment. Irradiation with 100 Gy could be suggested as a potential dose for egg, larval, and pupal quarantine treatment of SWD.

$TiO_2$ films were deposited on a glass substrate with RF magnetron sputtering and then surface of $TiO_2$ films were electron beam irradiated in a vacuum condition to investigate the effect of electron bombardment on the thin film crystallization, surface roughness and gas sensitivity for hydrogen. $TiO_2$ films that electron beam irradiated at 450eV were amorphous phase, while the films irradiated at 900 eV show the anatase (101) diffraction peak in XRD pattern. AFM measurements show that the roughness is depend on the electron irradiation energy. As increase the hydrogen gas concentration and operation temperature, the gas sensitivity of $TiO_2$ and $TiO_2$/ZnO films is increased proportionally and $TiO_2$ films that electron beam irradiated at 900 eV show the higher sensitivity than the films were irradiated at 450eV. From the XRD pattern and AFM observation, it is supposed that the crystallization and rough surface promote the hydrogen gas sensitivity of $TiO_2$ films.

나일론 12의 열적 거동 및 내마모 특성을 확인하기 위해서 100~600 kGy로 조사선량을 달리 하여 전자선가교 반응을 진행하였다. 가교효과를 증대시키기 위해서 TAC, TAIC, TMPTMA의 가교제를 추가로 사용하였다. 나일론 12는 200 kGy 이상 전자선 가교가 진행되어야 높은 젤화율을 보이며, 조사선량이 증가할수록 결정성이 낮아져 $T_m$과 DSC 피크 면적이 서서히 감소되는 것을 확인하였고, 또한 열분해 온도가 상승하여 열적 안정성이 우수해짐을 확인하였다. 그리고 나일론 12의 내마모 특성도 향상되어 가교 전과 비교하였을 때 마모량, 마모계수가 감소하는 경향을 나타내었고, 마모 표변을 SEM 분석을 통해서 확인하였다. 나일론 12에 첨가된 가교제는 전자선 가교시 우수한 가교 효과를 나타내며, 열적, 내마모 특성을 향상시키는 것으로 확인되었다.

신고배(Pyrus pyrifolia cv. Niitaka)의 휘발성 향기성분에 전자선 조사의 영향과 전자선 조사 후 저장기간에 따른 휘발성 향기성분의 변화를 확인하기 위하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. SDE 추출방법과 GC/MS 분석에 의하여 선량에 따른 신고배의 휘발성 향기성분을 분석하였다. 비조사 신고배와 전자선 0.25, 0.5, 1 그리고 3 kGy로 조사된 신고배에서 각각 46, 45, 44, 48 그리고 51종의 화합물을 동정하였다. 신고배의 주요 휘발성 향기성분으로는 $C_6$ 화합물인 hexanal, n-hexanol, (E)-2-hexenal이 분리 동정되었다. $4^{\circ}C$에서 30일 저장 후 신고배의 휘발성 향기성분의 조성은 유사하였으며, 저장기간 동안 크게 변화가 없었다. 소비자 수용성에 기여하는 휘발성 향기성분에 대하여 전자선 조사는 휘발성 향기성분의 변화에 크게 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 판단되었다. 관능평가 실시 결과, 1 kGy 이하의 저선량으로 전자선 조사된 배의 기호도가 대조군보다 오히려 약간 높은 것으로 나타났으며 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 위의 결과를 토대로 신고배의 전자선 조사기술을 적용하기 위해서는 다양한 실험방법을 통한 지속적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Background: The hemi-body electron beam irradiation (HBIe^-) technique has been proposed for the treatment of mycosis fungoides. It spares healthy skin using an electron shield. However, shielding electrons is complicated owing to electron scattering effects. In this study, we developed a thimble-like head bolus shield that surrounds the patient's entire head to prevent irradiation of the head during HBIe^-. Materials and Methods: The feasibility of a thimble-like head bolus shield was evaluated using a simplified Geant4 Monte Carlo (MC) simulation. Subsequently, the head bolus was manufactured using a three-dimensional (3D) printed mold and Ecoflex 00-30 silicone. The fabricated head bolus was experimentally validated by measuring the dose to the Rando phantom using a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) detector with clinical configuration of HBIe^-. Results and Discussion: The thimble-like head bolus reduced the electron fluence by 2% compared with that without a shield in the MC simulations. In addition, an improvement in fluence degradation outside the head shield was observed. In the experimental validation using the inhouse-developed bolus shield, this head bolus reduced the electron dose to approximately 2.5% of the prescribed dose. Conclusion: A thimble-like head bolus shield for the HBIe^- technique was developed and validated in this study. This bolus effectively spares healthy skin without underdosage in the region of the target skin in HBIe^-.

This study determined the effect of packaging and electron beam irradiation on the quality of dried Undaria pinnatifida. Samples were air or vacuum packaged and irradiated at 7 kGy. The dried Undaria pinnatifida had total viable cells and coliform counts of 5.51 and 4.40 log CFU/g in total, respectively, and counts of 5.56 and 4.19 log CFU/g in surface. These counts were reduced by 2-4 log cycles after irradiation. Irradiation increased the lightness and yellowness of the dried Undaria pinnatifida, but not the redness. In the sensory evaluation, there were no significant differences among samples. Therefore, electron beam irradiation improves the microbial safety and quality of dried Undaria pinnatifida.

고분자량 폴리 (비닐 알코올) (poly(vinyl alcohol), PVA)에 전지빔 (electron beam, EB)을 조사하여 상처치료용 드레싱으로 응용이 기대되는 수화젤을 성공적으로 제조하였다. 다양한 겔화율, 물에서의 팽윤도, 겔강도, 및 신도를 가지는 수화젤을 제조하기 위해 수평균 중합도($P_n$)가 1700과 4000인 두 종류의 PVA를 이용하였으며, PVA 수용액 농도와 EB 조사선량은 5$\sim$20%와 30$\sim$100 kGy의 범위로 각각 조절되었다. 제조된 PVA 수화젤의 겔화율과 겔강도는 PVA의 분자량과 수용액의 농도 및 EB 조사선량이 증가함에 따라 증가하였으나, 반면에, PVA 수화젤의 팽윤도와 신도는 감소하였다. PVA 수화젤의 가교밀도에 따른 열적특성과 결정성의 변화는 differential scanning calorimetry와 X-ray diffraction을 이용하여 분석되었다.

The use of electron beam irradiation was investigated to disinfect total coliforms in the secondary sewage treatment effluent. Unchlorinated secondary effluent was irradiated at different dose of 0.2~1.0 kGy by 1 MeV, ELV-4 Model electron beam accelerator. It is interesting to note that a 100 % reduction in total coliforms and total colonies were achieved until a dose of approximately 0.8 kGy. Even at low dose of 0.2 kGy, the total coliforms and total colonies were successfully inactivated to the level of satisfying the new effluent discharge guideline. Besides disinfection of total coliforms, approximately a 50% removal in biochemical oxygen demand was pronounced at a dose of 0.2 kGy. More than 20 % removal in suspended solids and turbidity was also observed at a dose of 1.0 kGy. The application of electron beam irradiation appeared to be one of options to reuse sewage treatment effluent as agricultural or industrial water.
