빠른 측정시간과 간단한 조작 기능의 장점 때문에 전자파 잔향실이 무선기기 성능 측정에 널리 쓰이고 있다. 본 논문에서는 전자파 잔향실 송수신용 및 보정용으로 쓰일 수 있는 10:1 광대역 역원뿔형(inverse conical) 안테나를 제안한다. 기존 전자파 잔향실에서 주로 사용하는 디스콘 안테나는 대역폭 제한으로 인해 복수의 디스콘 안테나를 대역 별로 교체해 가며 측정해야 하는 번거로움이 있다. 제안된 안테나는 빗변에 따라 임피던스가 선형적으로 변하는 역원뿔 구조를 방사체로, 전자파 잔향실의 금속 벽면 구조를 접지면으로 활용해 광대역 임피던스 매칭 및 전방향성 방사 특성을 갖는다. 3차원 전파 시뮬레이션 소프트웨어로 최적화된 안테나 모델을 3차원 프린터를 이용해 제작하여 측정한 결과, 목표 동작주파수 대역인 0.65~7 GHz에서 반사계수가 -10dB 이하, 방사효율이 70% 이상임을 확인할 수 있었다.

The SnO$_2$film was deposited on a corning glass 1737 substrate by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition using a gas mixture of SnCl$_4$, $O_2$, and Ar. The film thickness was measured using $\alpha$-step and was about 9400$\AA$. The conventional X-ray diffractometry and pole figure attachment were used to refine the crystal structure of SnO$_2$ thin film. Six pole figures, (200), (211), (310), (301), (321), and (411), were measured with CoK$_\alpha$ radiation in reflection geometry. The X-ray diffraction data were measured at room temperature using CuK$_\alpha$ radiation with graphite monochromator. The agreement between calculated and observed patterns for the normal direction of SnO$_2$ thin film was not satisfactory due to the severely preferred orientation effect. The Rietveld refinement of heavily textured SnO$_2$ thin film was successfully achieved by adopting the pole density distribution of each reflection obtained from the inverse pole figure as a correction factor for the preferred orientation effect. The R-weighted pattern, R$_wp$, was 15.30%.

A hybrid genetic algorithm is developed for estimating the wall emissivities for an absorbing, emitting, and scattering media in a two-dimensional irregular geometry with diffusely emitting and reflecting opaque boundaries by minimizing an objective function, which is expressed by the sum of square errors between estimated and measured temperatures at only four data positions. The finite-volume method was employed to solve the radiative transfer equation for a two-dimensional irregular geometry. The results show that a developed hybrid genetic algorithms reduce the effect of genetic parameters on the performance of genetic algorithm and that the wall emissivities are estimated accurately without measurement errors.

Background: This study aims to calculate detector positions as a design of a radioactive source localizing radiation portal monitor (RPM) system using an improved genetic algorithm. Materials and Methods: To calculate of detector positions for a source localizing RPM system optimization problem is defined. To solve the problem, a modified iterative genetic algorithm (MIGA) is developed. In general, a genetic algorithm (GA) finds a globally optimal solution with a high probability, but it is not perfect at all times. To increase the probability to find globally optimal solution rather, a MIGA is designed by supplementing the iteration, competition, and verification with GA. For an optimization problem that is defined to find detector positions that maximizes differences of detector signals, a localization method is derived by modifying the inverse radiation transport model, and realistic parameter information is suggested. Results and Discussion: To compare the MIGA and GA, both algorithms are implemented in a MATLAB environment. The performance of the GA and MIGA and that of the procedures supplemented in the MIGA are analyzed by computer simulations. The results show that the iteration, competition, and verification procedures help to search for globally optimal solutions. Further, the MIGA is more robust against falling into local minima and finds a more reliably optimal result than the GA. Conclusion: The positions of the detectors on an RPM for radioactive source localization are optimized using the MIGA. To increase the contrast of the measurements from each detector, a relationship between the source and the detectors is derived by modifying the inverse transport model. Realistic parameters are utilized for accurate simulations. Furthermore, the MIGA is developed to achieve a reliable solution. By utilizing results of this study, an RPM for radioactive source localization has been designed and will be fabricated soon.

In order to understand the in vivo biodistribution of repebody protein (RB), an efficient and simple radiolabeling method for the protein is needed. We demonstrate a detailed protocol for the radiosynthesis of an ¹¹¹In radiolabeled tetrazine prosthetic group and its application to the efficient radiolabeling of trans-cyclooctene-group conjugated repebody protein using inverse-electron-demand Diels-Alder reaction. First, 1,2,4,5-tetrazine (Tz) conjugated with a DOTA chelator, was used for preparing the radiolabeled DOTA complex with ¹¹¹In. Second, the trans-cyclooctene (TCO) functionalized repebody protein was synthesized which allows for the preparation of radiolabeled proteins by copper-free click chemistry. Following incubation with the ¹¹¹In-radiolabeled DOTA complex (¹¹¹In-Tz), the TCO-functionalized RB (TCO-RB) was radiolabeled successfully with ¹¹¹In, with a high radiochemical yield (69.5%) and radiochemical purity (>99%). The radiolabeling of repebody protein by copper-free click chemistry was accomplished within 20 min, with great efficiency in aqueous conditions. These results clearly indicate that the present radiolabeling method will be useful for the efficient and convenient radiolabeling of trans-cyclooctene-group containing biomolecules.

The effect of temperature distributions on soot volume fraction in double-concentric diffusion flames have been investigated experimentally. Using fine thermocouple wires and a rapid insertion mechanism, we have measured temperature without the effect of soot particles attached to the thermocouple junction, which can lower the temperature signal about 100 K by increasing the heat loss from the junction by radiation. The temperature at the flame axis is higher in the double-concentric diffusion flames than in normal co-flow diffusion flames because of the inverse diffusion flame. However, it is almost the same as that at the periphery of normal flames, on which the inverse flame does not have an effect. Thus, the lower soot concentration found in the double-concentric diffusion flame can be explained by the effect of nitrogen diffusion from the central air jet.

The temperature distribution in double-concentric diffusion flames have been investigated experimentally by rapid insertion technique. Using a fine thermocouple and rapid insertion mechanism, the temperature has been measured before soot particles attach the thermocouple junction which can affect the temperature signal by changing the radiation heat loss. For double-concentric diffusion flames, the temperature at the axis is higher than that of normal coflow diffusion flames because of the inverse diffusion flame at the center of the flame. However, it is almost same at the periphery on which the inverse flame does not have an effect.

생체 조직의 전기 신호는 살아 있는 조직과 관련된 많은 정보를 포함하고 있으며, 생체 조직에 생물학적 변화가 있으면 고유의 전기적 특성이 변화한다. Impedance/Gain-phase analyzer로 1 KHz에서 1 KHz까지 주파수 대역을 설정한 다음 교류 주파수를 인가하며 돼지안심 조직의 임피던스 특성을 방사선 피폭선량에 따라 변화가 있는지 알아보고자 하였다. 임피던스 크기는 주파수에 비례하여 감소하였으며, 상관계수(r)가 -0.96으로 높은 음의 상관관계를 보였다. 위상차 변화는 거의 없었으며 조직은 저항성을 나타내었다. 측정값은 변동계수가 ${\pm}5$%이내로 재현성이 있음을 알 수 있었고, 측정 시간 경과에 따른 임피던스 크기와 위상차 변화는 유의적인 차이가 없었다.(p>0.05) 방사선 피폭 시 임피던스 변화는 대조군과 비교했을 때 1 Gy, 2 Gy, 4 Gy 피폭 선량에서는 임피던스 크기는 감소하였으나, 유의적인 차이는 없었다.(p>0.05) 그러나 10 Gy 피폭 선량에서는 임피던스 크기 감소가 유의적으로 나타났다.(p<0.05) 방사선 피폭선량이 증가하여도 위상차 변화는 거의 없었으며, 대조군과 비교했을 때 1 Gy, 2 Gy, 4 Gy, 10 Gy 모두 유의적인 차이가 없었다.(p>0.05) 본 연구를 통해 생체 조직의 전기적 특성을 이해 할 수 있었고, 방사선 피폭선량에 따른 임피던스 변화를 측정하여 방사선이 인체에 미치는 영향을 직접 평가 할 수 있는 가능성을 확인 할 수 있었다.
