Extensive forest fires occurred across the border in Russia. particularly east of Lake Baikal between the Amur and Lena rivers in May 2003. These forest fires released large amounts of particulates and gases into the atmosphere. resulting in adverse effects on regional air quality and the global radiation budget. Smoke pollution from the Russian fires near Lake Baikal was sometimes transported to Korea through Mongolia and eastern China. In this study ground based radiation (visible and UV-B) data measured during May 2003 at Seoul and Kwangju were analyzed to estimate smoke aerosol impacts on solar radiation. Surface criteria air pollutants ($PM_{10}$, CO, $O_3$) data were also obtained from National Institute of Environmental Research (NIER) during smoke aerosol event period (19 May~24 May 2003). Large Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) 1.0~3.0 was observed during this period due to the influence of the long range transport of smoke aerosol plume from the Russian fires, resulting in short-wavelength direct aerosol radiative forcing of -90~ -200W/$m^2$. These smoke aerosol plume caused decrease in surface UV-B radiation up to 80% and increase in PM_(10) concentration up to 200${\mu}g/m^3$ exceeding the 24 hour ambient air quality standard.

Pyranometer have many uncertainty factors (sensitivity function, thermal offset, other spectral effect, geometric, environment, and equipment etc.) than pyrheliometer. The solution for most of the uncertainty factors have been researched, but the problem for thermal offset is being continued research so far. Under the clear sky, due to the thermal offset of pyranometer, the diffuse and global radiation have been negative value for the nighttime and lower value for the daytime, respectively. In order to understand the uncertainty of the thermal offset effect, solar radiation are observed and analyzed using Ji and Tsay method and data from modified pyranometer. As a result of performing temperature correction using the modified pyranometer, the slope (dome factor; k) and intercept ($r_0$) from a linear regression method are 0.064 and $3.457g{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}k^{-1}$, respectively. And the solar radiation is decreased significantly due to the effect of thermal offset during nighttime. The solar radiation from modified pyranometer increased approximately 8% higher than its observed by general pyranometer during daytime. By the way, these results did not generalize because its result is for only single case in clear sky. Accordingly, it is to required for accurate results obtained by the various cases (clear, cloudy and rainy) with longterm observations.

The high efficiency moderated-type neutron spectrometer and doseequivalent counter were developed for the measurement of low level environmental neutrons. By using these detectors, the neutron energy spectra and dose equivalent rates due to skyshine effect were measured in the environment surrounding the accelerator facilities and also the altitude variation of cosmic ray neutrons in the aircraft flying over Japan.

정확한 복사 관측자료는 기후 및 날씨뿐만 아니라 해양과 건축 및 농 축산 분야 등 중요하게 활용된다. 특히 이어도와 같은 종합 해양과학기지는 주변 환경에 의한 복사 반사 효과를 최소화할 수 있기 때문에 이상적인 관측소로 평가되며 여기서 생산되는 자료는 복사관측의 기준 자료가 될 수 있다. 또한 BSRN (Baseline Surface Radiation Network) 등 세계복사관측그룹 가입을 위한 필수 장비들(전천과 직달 및 산란 일사계 등)을 갖추고 관측소 환경을 개선할 경우 전 세계적인 중요 관측소로 부각될 수 있는 여건을 갖추고 있다. 이어도 종합해양과학기지는 2004년 11월부터 일사계 관측을 수행해 왔고 이 연구에서는 2005년 1월 1일부터 2015년 12월 31일까지의 자료를 분석하였다. 이 연구 기간에 이어도의 일평균 일사량은 $-3.80W/m^2/year$로 감소하였고 그 이유는 자연적 원인 이외에 관측장비의 센서 반응도 감소 효과가 포함되어 있기 때문이다. 즉 이어도 종합해양과학기지의 경우 정밀한 복사 관측 자료를 생산하기 위해서는 관측소 환경 개선뿐만 아니라 관측장비 및 자료 보정이 요구된다. 그리고 한반도의 대기 청정도와 국민 건강을 크게 위협하고 있는 중국발 황사와 미세 먼지는 전 세계 과학자들의 중요 관심 대상이기 때문에 이어도뿐만 아니라 신안 가거초 및 옹진 소청초 종합해양과학기지 복사 관측자료를 통한 공동 대응 근거 마련이 필요하며 그에 따라 이들 복사관측소 환경 및 장비 개선 그리고 관측자료 정확성 향상 계획 수립이 시급하다.

The induction of heme oxygenase-1(HO-1) by ultraviolet(UV) radiation provides a protective defense against oxidative stress, and has been well demonstrated in UVA-irradiated skin, but not UVB. In this study in mice, we show that the UVB(290-320nm) radiation can be attributed to the induction of cutaneous heme oxygenase-1. The expression of HO-1 mRNA was assessed in vivo by the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis, and HO-1 enzyme activity was measured in microsomal preparation from irradiated mice. The mRNA level of HO-1 increases in liver and skin from 24h to 72h after UVB($3KJ/m^3$) radiation. The results of gene expression were same pattern of HO enzyme activity in skin, but not in liver. HO-1 mRNA in liver resulted in a progressive increase to 96h after UVB radiation, but HO activity in liver increased to 48h. This finding indicates that UVB radiation is an important inducer of HO-1 and increases in HO activity may protect tissues directly or indirectly from oxidative stress.

To investigate the antifungal activity related protein in pesticidal bacteria, a bacterial strain LTD was isolated from soil collected at Gimje in Jeonbuk province, Korea, and identified as Bacillus subtilis LTD based on a API50 CHB kit and 168 rDNA sequencing. It has an antifungal activity against 9 plant pathogenic fungi in a paper disc assay. The antifungal activity- deficient mutant, B. subtilis mLTD was induced at a 5 kGy dose of $^{60}Co$ gamma radiation. Using the two-dimensional electrophoresis and the matrix assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, the comparison analysis of proteins between the wild and mutant were performed. A major intracellular serine proteinase IspA (MW: 32.5 kDa), a NAD (P) H dehydrogenase (MW: 20.0 kDa), and a stage II sporulation protein AA, SpoIIAA (MW: 14.3kDa) were detected only in the B. subtilis LTD. These results suggested that the functions of these proteins found only in the B. subtilis LTD could. be closely related to the antifungal activity against plant pathogenic fungi.

The linear no-threshold (LNT) model is an assumption that explains the dose-response relationship for health risks, allowing for linear extrapolation from high doses to low doses without a threshold. The selection of an appropriate model for low-dose risk evaluation is a critical component in the risk assessment process for hazardous agents. This paper reviews the LNT model in light of epidemiological evidence from major international consortia studying ionizing radiation. From a scientific perspective, substantial evidence supporting the LNT model has been observed in epidemiological studies of low-dose ionizing radiation exposure, although some findings suggest non-linear dose relationships for certain cancer sites and variations across populations. From a practical standpoint, the LNT remains the most useful model for radiation protection purposes, with no alternative dose-response relationship proving more appropriate. It is important to note that the LNT model does not directly reflect the magnitude of risk at the population level, and this distinction should be clearly communicated to the public. While applying the LNT model as the principal basis for radiation protection, continuous research into various dose-response relationships is crucial for advancing our understanding.
