  • A radiation-resistant bacterium was isolated from gamma irradiated dried laver (Porphyra tenera) and its microbiological characteristics were examined. As a result of resistance test to gamma irradiation, the isolate was survived $10^{3}$ CFU/mL even at 30 kGy and significant shoulder line zone was shown until 20 kGy. The $D_{10}$ value was 11.27 kGy. The isolate was gram-positive, non-motile coccus and catalase-positive. n culture, the red-pigmented smooth colony was observed. The biochemical test in API (analytical profile index) system showed that the isolate fermented glucose and fructose as the carbon source. Therefore, a radiation-resistant bacterium isolated from laver was potentially identified as Micrococcus roseus sp.

  • 목 적 : 다발성 뇌 전이의 방사선치료 시 jaw tracking(JT)과 fixed jawFJ)를 이용한 용적세기조절회전치료(Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy, VMAT)를 비교하고 유용성을 평가하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 : JT를 이용하여 치료받은 다발성 뇌 전이(Multiple Brain Metastasis) 환자 중 6개 이상의 종양이 있고 조사면 크기가 $14{\times}14cm^2$ 이상인 환자 10명을 대상으로 하였다. Eclipse(Ver 13.6 Varian, USA)로 JT와 FJ의 전산화치료계획을 각각 수립하였으며, 전자포털영상장치(Electronic Portal Imaging Device, EPID)를 이용하여 감마지수(Gamma Index, 3 mm, 3 %, 95 % 신뢰구간) 및 최대선량차이(Max. Dose Difference)를 측정하였다. 또한 손상위험장기(Organ At Risk, OAR)의 $D_{max}$$D_{mean}$을 산출하고 비교하였으며 처방선량지수(Conformity Index, CI), 선량균질지수(Homogeneity Index, HI)를 평가하였다. 결 과 : JT와 FJ의 측정값을 평가한 감마지수는 모든 Case에서 허용 기준(3 mm, 3 %, 95 % 신뢰구간)에 충족하였으며, 최대선량차이값은 Leaf End Transmission이 발생하는 영역에서 시계방향(Clockwise, CW)은 최대 98.4 %, 평균 43.6 %, 반시계방향(Counter-Clockwise, CCW)은 최대 67.9 %, 평균 41.0 %로 측정되었다. 손상위험장기는 JT를 사용하였을 때 각 정상장기에 대한 $D_{max}$의 최대값은 15.36 %~74.59 %, 평균값은 2.84 %~39.80 % 감소, $D_{mean}$의 최대값은 27.90 %~65.23 %, 평균값은 7.70 %~41.71 %로 감소하였으며, 처방선량지수와 선량균질지수값은 차이가 없었다. 결 론 : 다발성 뇌 전이에서 VMAT으로 치료할 경우 JT를 이용하면 치료계획용적(Planning Target Volume, PTV)의 선량분포에 영향을 미치지 않으면서 불특정 영역에서 발생하는 방사선의 누설 및 투과로 인한 불필요한 피폭을 감소시키고 정상장기에 더 낮은 선량으로 방사선치료가 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

  • In this paper, we have suggested an extended double Newton's method with sixth-order convergence by considering a control parameter ${\gamma}$ and a weight function H(s, u). We have determined forms of ${\gamma}$ and H(s, u) in order to induce the greatest order of convergence and established the main theorem utilizing related properties. The developed theory is ensured by numerical experiments with high-precision computation for a number of test functions.

  • Reliability analysis methods have been employed in this study to determine the safety index ${\beta}$ for flexure associated with reinforced concrete designs that are in accordance with current USD code of Korea. In reliability analysis, the mean first-order second-moment methods are employed. The following specific conclusions can be drawn from this study; 1) Levels of safety for reinforced concrete design, measured by ${\beta}$, vary from 2.8 to 3.8 in flexure depending on the limit state, the ratio of live load to dead load and the uncertainties. 2) Target reliability ${\beta}$ associated with reinforced concrete beams in flexure is assumed to be 3.5~4.0 in Korea. 3) Load factors and resistance factors in flexure associated with the current provisions contained in USD code generally seem to be too high. The writer concluded the factors as following; ${\phi}=0.8,\;{\gamma}_D=1.1\;{\gamma}_L=1.75$.

  • We prove that the Siegel modular form of D'Hoker and Phong that gives the chiral superstring measure in degree two is a lift. This gives a fast algorithm for computing its Fourier coefficients. We prove a general lifting from Jacobi cusp forms of half integral index t/2 over the theta group ${\Gamma}_1$(1, 2) to Siegel modular cusp forms over certain subgroups ${\Gamma}^{para}$(t; 1, 2) of paramodular groups. The theta group lift given here is a modification of the Gritsenko lift.

  • This paper describes the properties of between the residual voltage for ${\gamma}$-irradiated in electric power cable using in nuclear power generating station. As these properties related with ${\gamma}$-irradiation dose, it is suggested that these properties can be utilized as a index of irradiation degradation. From theory and experiment We found the residual voltage is not influenced by cable length. We found that residual voltage of basic composite and practical composite have not a difference an occasion be the same cable length. As the ratio of degradation increases, the residual voltage in the initial time range increases and the peak moves to the shorter time. Therefore, We can know the degree of radiation degradation from the position of the peak.

  • The influence of gamma-irradiation sterilization on the creep and wear performance of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) was investigated by conducting the dynamic compressive creep tests and pin-on-disc sliding wear tests. The changes of microstructure property, relative crystallinity, oxidation index, percent crosslinking, were also measured and the relationship between these and creep and wear results was discussed.

  • Information on the distribution of the basic random variables is essential for the accurate evaluation of structural reliability. The usual method for determining the distribution is to fit a candidate distribution to the histogram of available statistical data of the variable and perform appropriate goodness-of-fit tests. Generally, such candidate distributions would have two parameters that may be evaluated from the mean value and standard deviation of the statistical data. In the present paper, a-parameter Gamma distribution, whose parameters can be directly defined in terms of the mean value, standard deviation and skewness of available data, is suggested. The flexibility and advantages of the distribution in fitting statistical data and its significance in structural reliability evaluation are identified and discussed. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate these advantages.

  • This paper describes the properties of discharge current and the residual voltage for $^{60}$ C$_{0}$ -${\gamma}$ irradiated cables using in nuclear power generating station. As these properties related with $^{60}$ C$_{0}$ -${\gamma}$ -irradiatiation dose, it is suggested that these properties can be utilized as a index of irradiation degradation. As the ratio of degradation increases, the residual voltage in the initial time range increases and the peak moves to the shorter time. Therefore, I know the degree of radiation degradation from the position of the peak.

  • A small number of viable tuberculosis bacilli can reside in an individual with latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) without obvious clinical symptoms or abnormal chest radiographs. Diagnosis and treatment for LTBI are important for tuberculosis (TB) control in public and private health, especially in high-risk populations. The updated 2014 Korean guidelines for TB recommend that tuberculin skin tests, interferon-gamma release assays, or a combination of the two can be used for LTBI diagnosis according to age and immune status of the host as well as TB contact history. The regimens for LTBI treatment include isoniazid, rifampicin, or isoniazid/rifampicin. However, results of drug susceptibility test from the index case must be considered in selecting the appropriate drug for recent contacts. Standardized LTBI diagnosis and treatment based on the new 2014 guidelines will contribute to the effective TB control in Korea as well as to the establishment of updated guidelines.
