The goals of this study are to elucidate the plasma effects on DNA molecules to apply some plasma based applications and also to find out the mechanisms of plasma-induced DNA damage in biomolecule. Nonthermal atmospheric pressure plasma has much potential for medical, agricultural and food applications for the future. The atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) contains radicals, charged particles, low energy electrons, excited molecules and UV light. It has been started doing experiments using APPJ at the early 21th. And some recent results showed that APPJ has a possibility to apply to new fields like mentioned above. But it is kind of at the very early stages of plasma based application. It is definitely necessary much of theoretical and experimental studies to further understanding to use nonthermal atmospheric pressure plasma in biomedical, agriculture and food parts. Here we introduce a new experimental system to study plasma effects on biomolecules. And we will show some recent results of LEE-induced DNA damage using electron irradiation apparatus under ultra-high vacuum.

Objective: Study on the application of high pressure processing (HPP) for dark-firm-dry (DFD) beef was conducted to observe whether HPP has any impact on physical properties and to evaluate oxidative deterioration during refrigerated storage under vacuum. Methods: The longissimus lumborum muscles obtained from Friesian Holstein steers ($33{\pm}0.5$ months old) with 24-h postmortem pH higher than 6.0 were vacuum-packed and subjected to pressurization at 200, 400, and 600 MPa for 180 s at $15^{\circ}C{\pm}2^{\circ}C$; the samples were then stored for 9 days at $4^{\circ}C{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ and compared with control (0.1 MPa). Results: HPP increased meat pH by 0.1 to 0.2 units and the tenderness of cooked DFD beef significantly with no significant effects on meat texture profile. The stability of meat pH was well maintained during refrigerated storage under vacuum. No clear effects were found on the activity of catalase and superoxide dismutase, however, glutathione peroxidase activity was significantly reduced by high pressure. HPP and storage time resulted in aroma changes and the increasing amount of malondialdehyde and metmyoglobin relative composition. Conclusion: Although the increasing amount of malondialdehyde content, metmyoglobin formation and aroma changes in HPP-treated samples could not be avoided, HPP at 200 MPa increased $L^*$ and $a^*$ values with less discoloration and oxidative deterioration during storage.

In this paper, we simulated three different HV systems and analyzed of each vacuum characteristics by VacCAD modelling. In each of modelled vacuum systems, selection of chamber materials, combination of rough pump with high vacuum pump and conductance of roughing line (diameter and length) were proposed as system variables. In the modelling of chamber materials, the pumping times to ultimate pressures of different chamber materials (stainless steel, aluminum) were compared by the variations of chamber volume. In this model, the effects of outgassing dependent on the chamber materials was also simulated and aluminum was estimated to optimum chamber materials. It was also obtained that modelling of vane and roots pump with diffusion pump and diameter, length of $50{\times}250$ [mm]roughing line were characterized as optimum variables to reach the ultimate pressure of 10E-7 [mbar] most effectively. Optimum design factors for vacuum characteristics of modelled vacuum system were achieved by VacCAD simulations. Feasibility of VacCAD as vacuum simulator was verified and applications of VacCAD expected to be increased to fields in vacuum needed.

The triggered vacuum switch (TVS) is widely used as a high power switch in the field of pulsed power application. TVS can produce current of higher than 100 kA within a microsecond after being triggered. A triggering high voltage pulse generator supplies a high voltage signal to the trigger system to initiate the discharge between a trigger pin and one of main electrode. The trigger system, which consists of a tungsten trigger electrode and cylindrical ceramic insulator around it, is normally installed at the center of main cathode electrode. The discharging characteristics of the trigger system strongly depend on the geometry, electrode material, vacuum pressure and so on. In addition, we especially will focus on the developing a triggering pulse generator, which can vary not only value of voltage but also pulse duration, because its properties gives pivot influences on the TVS discharge. To verify such effects, we made a 3.3 kJ TVS set-up initially. Thus we will discuss some of prominent results from 3.3 kJ TVS system. In parallel we will show on the design of 300 kJ TVS system for the high current in the future.

The vapor pressure of the high melting point oxides, MgO, $Cr_2O_3$, and $MgCr_2O_4$ were measured over the temperature range 1300 to 175$0^{\circ}C$ under vacuum <$10^{-5}$ torr by the Langmuir and the Knudsen method. The Langmuir vapor pressure was increased with elevating temperature and with increasing porosity of the specimen. The difference between the vapor preseures measured by the Langmuir and the Knudsen method was decreased with elevating temperature and the Langmuir vapor pressure finally reached the Knudsen vapor pressure at the melting point when extrapolated. The vapor pressure of other important oxides with high melting points, i.e., $Al_2O_3$, $ThO_2$, $Yb_2O_3$ and $Y_2O_3$ were cited from the references. The Langmuir and the Knudsen vapor pressure of these oxides also showed the same results, i.e., they showed the same value at their melting points.

전달표준기(transfer gauge)로 사용되는 열음극 전리진공계의 교정을 위하여 초고진 공표준기의 압력비(pressure ratio), 오리피스 콘덕턴스, 그리고 porous plug 콘덕턴스 측정 에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 이 표준기를 이용하여 제조회사가 다른 두 개의 전리진공계를 $7{times}10^{-7}$~$4{times}10^{-3}$ Pa압력구간에서 아르곤 가스를 사용하여 교정하였다. 그 결과 extractor 전 리진공계의 고진공과 초고진공 사이에서 압력에 따른 비직선성의 차이는 4%로 나타났고, stabil 전리진공계는 3%정도로 나타났다. Extractor 전리진공계의 경우 기체의 감도를 적절 히 조절해서 사용하면 진공계 자체 불확도인 10%이내의 오차범위에서 사용이 가능함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 stabil 전리진공계는 별도의 감도 조절하지 않고도 최대 4% 오차범위에서 사용이 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

Even if ion pumps are widely and mostly used in ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions, virtually every existing ion pump has its maximum pumping speed around 1E-6 mbar (1E-4 Pa). Discharge intensity in the ion pump Penning cell is defined as the current divided by pressure (I/P). This quantity reflects the rate of cathode bombardment by ions, which underlies all of the various pumping mechanisms that occur in ion pumps (chemisorption on sputtered material, ion burial, etc.), and therefore is an indication of pumping speed. A study has been performed to evaluate the influence of magnetic fields and cell dimensions on the ion pump discharge intensity and consequently on the pumping speed at different pressures. As a result, a combination of parameters has been developed in order to design and build an ion pump with the pumping speed peak shifted towards lower pressures. Experimental results with several different test set-ups are presented and a prototype of a new 200 l/s ion pump with the maximum pumping speed in the 1E-8 mbar (1E-6 Pa) is described. A model of the system has also been developed to provide a framework for understanding the experimental observations.

We examined the pressure effects on petroleum pitch synthesis by using open and closed reaction systems. The pressure effects that occur during the pitch synthesis were investigated in three pressure systems: a closed system of high pressure and two open systems under either an atmosphere or vacuum. A thermal reaction in the closed system led to the high product yield of a pitch by suppressing the release of light components in pyrolysis fuel oil. Atmospheric treatment mainly enhanced the polymerization degree of the pitch via condensation and a polymerization reaction. Vacuum treatment results in a softening point increase due to the removal of components with low molecular weights. To utilize such characteristic effects of system pressure during pitch preparations, we proposed a method for synthesizing cost-competitive pitch precursors for carbon materials. The first step is to increase product yield by using a closed system; the second step is to increase the degree of polymerization toward the desired molecular distribution, followed by the use of vacuum treatment to adjust softening points. Thus, we obtained an experimental quinoline insolubles-free pitch of product yield over 45% with softening points of approximately $130^{\circ}C$. The proposed method shows the possibility to prepare cost-competitive pitch precursors for carbon materials by enhancing product yield and other properties.

이온 펌프의 중심에 네그(Non-Evaporable Getters)가 삽입된 새로운 조합 펌프를 사용하여 극고진공 시스템을 구현하였다. 진공 용기는 터보 분자 펌프만으로도 극고진공에 성공하였던, $450^{\circ}C$에서 잘 산화된 304 스테인레스 스틸 쳄버를 사용하였다. 시스템의 압력은 Leybold사의 EXG(Extractor Gauge)로 측정하였으나, 본 실험에서의 최고 진공도는 이미 그 게이지의 측정 한계인 1~$2\times10^{-12}$torr범위를 훨씬 지나 게이지 지시가 $-0\times10^{-12}$torr를 읽교 있는 극고진공에 도달해 있었다. 이는 효과적인 네그 활성화로 수소 가스에 대한 배기 속도 를 크게 향상시켜준 결과라 볼 수 있다. 또한 본 실험은 극고진공 표면 분석 장치의 실현 가능성을 시사해주는 것으로, 앞으로의 초미세 표면 과학에 있어서 새로운 장을 열어줄 것 으로 기대된다.
