We analyzed the problem of the typical definition of the viewing angle, where the contrast ratio is higher than 1:10 and suggest the new definition of the viewing angle by considering the contrast ratio, color shift, luminance and gamma shift in the viewing direction all together.

The present work was mainly concerned with studying the operation of RC-phase shift oscillator based on MOSFET type 2N6660 under the influence of different temperature levels ranging from room temperature (25 ℃) up-to135 ℃ and gamma-irradiation up-to 3.5 kGy. In this concern, both the static (I-V) characteristic curves of MOSFET devices and the output signal of the proposed oscillator were recorded under ascending levels of both temperature and gamma-irradiation. From which, it is clearly shown that the drain current was decreased from 0.22 A, measured at 25 ℃, down to 0.163 A, at 135 ℃. On the other hand, its value was increased up-to 0.49 A, whenever the device was exposed to gamma-rays dose of 3.5 kGy. Considering RC-phase shift oscillator, the oscillation frequency and output pk-pk voltage were decreased whenever MOSFET device exposed to gamma radiation by ratio 54.9 and 91%, respectively. While, whenever MOSFET device exposed to temperature the previously mentioned parameters were shown to be decreased by ratio 2.07 and 46.2%.

The ketone chromophore of 1-Acetyl-1-methyl-2-cyclopentene (1) was replaced by nitrile, carboxylic acid and acetamide group, and their photochemical reactions were investigated. While the ${\beta},\;{\gamma}$-unsaturated ketone 1 afforded 1,2 ar 1,3-Acyl shift product, these replaced chromophores did not afford any monomeric rearranged products. 1-Cyano-1-methyl-2-cyclohexene also afforded no product anology of the 1,2-acyl shift reaction. The replacement of the ketone chromophore by nitrile, carboxylic acid and carboxamide has greatly altered the photochemistry of ${\beta},\;{\gamma}$-unsaturated ketones.

$Mo/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3catalysts$ modified with Fe, Co, and Ni were prepared by impregnation method and catalytic activity for water gas shift reaction was examined. The optimum amount of Mo loaded for the reaction was 10 wt% $MoO_3$ to ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3.$ The catalytic activity of $MoO_3/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3was$ increased by modifying with Fe, Co, and Ni in the order of Co${\thickapprox}$ Ni > Fe. The optimum amounts of Co and Ni added were 3 wt% based on CoO and NiO to 10 wt% $MoO_3/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$, restectively. The TPR (temperature-programmed reduction) analysis revealed that the addition of Co and Ni enganced the reducibility of the catalysts. The results of both catalytic activity and TPR experiments strongly suggest that the redox property of the catalyst is an important factor in water gas shift reaction on the sulfided Mo catalysts, which could be an evidence of oxy-sulfide redox mechanism.

In proton therapy, a highly conformal proton dose can be delivered to the tumor by means of the steep distal dose penumbra at the end of the beam range. The proton beam range, however, is highly sensitive to range uncertainty, which makes accurately locating the proton range in the patient difficult. In-vivo range verification is a method to manage range uncertainty, one of the promising techniques being prompt gamma imaging (PGI). In earlier studies, we proposed gamma electron vertex imaging (GEVI), and constructed a proof-of-principle system. The system successfully demonstrated the GEVI imaging principle for therapeutic proton pencil beams without scanning, but showed some limitations under clinical conditions, particularly for pencil beam scanning proton therapy. In the present study, we upgraded the GEVI system in several aspects and tested the performance improvements such as for range-shift verification in the context of line scanning proton treatment. Specifically, the system showed better performance in obtaining accurate prompt gamma (PG) distributions in the clinical environment. Furthermore, high shift-detection sensitivity and accuracy were shown under various range-shift conditions using line scanning proton beams.

The maximum dose delivery at the end of the beam range provides the main advantage of using proton therapy. The range of the proton beam, however, is subject to uncertainties, which limit the clinical benefits of proton therapy and, therefore, accurate in vivo verification of the beam range is desirable. For the beam range verification in spot scanning proton therapy, a prompt gamma detection system, called as gamma electron vertex imaging (GEVI) system, is under development and, in the present study, the performance of the GEVI system in spot scanning proton therapy was predicted with Geant4 Monte Carlo simulations in terms of shift detection sensitivity, accuracy and precision. The simulation results indicated that the GEVI system can detect the interfractional range shifts down to 1 mm shift for the cases considered in the present study. The results also showed that both the evaluated accuracy and precision were less than 1-2 mm, except for the scenarios where we consider all spots in the energy layer for a local shifting. It was very encouraging results that the accuracy and precision satisfied the smallest distal safety margin of the investigated beam energy (i.e., 4.88 mm for 134.9 MeV).

We derived the average bit error rate (BER) of coherent free-space optical (FSO) systems with digital binary phase shift keying (BPSK) modulations over atmospheric turbulence channels with a gamma-gamma distribution. To obtain a generalized derivation in a closed-form expression, we used special integrals and transformations of the Meijer G function. Furthermore, we numerically analyzed and simulated the average BER behavior according to the average SNR for different turbulence strengths. Simulation results are demonstrated to confirm the analytical results.

We present a method that enables dual threshold voltages in a vertical alignment liquid crystal device, through which the gamma shift can be reduced with no subsequent decrease in the contrast ratio. By forming polymer layers, the threshold voltage shift is accomplished through the utilization of the voltage drop effect. We expect that the proposed method can be applied to the conventional 4-domain mode in order to achieve an 8-domain mode without the need for complex driving schemes.

The 9.17MeV gamma-rays from the $^{13}C(p,\;{\gamma})^{14}N,\;^{14}N({\gamma},\;{\gamma})^{14}N$ reactions were measured. The incident 9.17MeV gamma-ray was produced from the $^{13}C(p,\;{\gamma})^{14}N$ reaction at Ep=1.75MeV resonance. The 1.75MeV proton beam was accelerated using the 3MV SNU-AMS Tandetron and 1.7MV KIGAM Tandem accelerators. The enriched 13C target was $121{\mu}g/cm^2$ self-supporting foil, and we used liquid nitrogen as a resonant absorption target. We used a HP-Ge detector with 30% efficiency and less 2keV energy resolution. We developed new method to detect the scattered 9.17MeV gamma-ray from the nitrogen target by using the energy difference between the Doppler shifted gamma-ray from the $^{13}C(p,\;{\gamma})^{14}N$ reaction and the resonant absorbed and rescattered gamma-ray from the $^{14}N({\gamma},\;{\gamma})^{14}N$ reaction.

For a locally compact higher rank graph ${\Lambda}$, we construct a two-sided path space ${\Lambda}^{\Delta}$ with shift homeomorphism ${\sigma}$ and its corresponding path groupoid ${\Gamma}$. Then we find equivalent conditions of aperiodicity, cofinality and irreducibility of ${\Lambda}$ in (${\Lambda}^{\Delta}$, ${\sigma}$), ${\Gamma}$, and the groupoid algebra $C^*({\Gamma})$.
