In this paper, electrical and physical characteristics associated with the ionization growth of soil under impulse voltages in a coaxial cylindrical electrode system to simulate a horizontally-buried ground electrode were experimentally investigated. The results were summarized as follows: Transient ground resistances decreased significantly by soil ionization. The voltage-current (V-I) curves for non-ionization in soil lined up in a straight line with the nearly same slope that is the ground resistance, but they showed a 'cross-closed loop' of ${\infty}$-shape under ionization. The conventional ground resistance and equivalent soil resistivity were inversely proportional to the peak value of injected impulse currents. On the other hand, the equivalent ionization radius and time-lag to the maximum value of ionization radius were increased with increasing the incident impulse voltages. An analysis method for the transient ground resistances of the ground electrode based on the ionization phenomena was proposed. The proposed method can be applied to analyze the transient performances of grounding systems for lightning protection in power system installations.

The present paper the results of development of first experimental tests of a new ionized cluster beam (ICB) source. The novelty of ICB source lies in the fact that the crucible and ionization parts are spaced in one cylincrical shell but are not divided inan electric circuit. The ICB source adapts permanent mannets to increase the ionixation efficiency. The maximum obtained Cu+ ion current density I s1.5μA/㎠ 이었으며, 증착율이 초당 0.4Å일 때 이온화율은 3% 이었으며, 증착율이 초당 0.2Å일때는 이온화율이 6%이었다. 증착율이 초당 0.2Å이고, 가속전압이 4kV에서는 Cu+ 이온빔의 균일성이 95%이상이었다.

A method was developed using enhanced liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry for the analysis and quantitation of 2 main potato glycoalkaloids, $\alpha$-chaconine, and $\alpha$-solanine, without any pre-concentration or derivatisation steps. Calibration curves generated by this technique exhibited a linear dynamic range from 0.025 to $50{\mu}g/mL$ and from 0.05 to $50{\mu}g/mL$ for $\alpha$-chaconine and $\alpha$-solanine, respectively. Matrix effects were evaluated by comparing calibration curves measured in matrix-matched and solvent-based systems. Ion suppression due to matrix effects was weak and extraction recoveries of 88 to 114% were obtained in different sample matrices spiked with analyte concentrations ranging from 15 to $35{\mu}g/mL$. Potatoes that had been genetically modified to tolerate glufosinate contained the same glycoalkaloid levels as their non-transgenic counterpart. We suggest complementing compositional comparison assessment strategy by validating quantitative analytical methods for the toxic glycoalkaloids in potato plants.

To address the problem of global warming, consumption of cement, the main material of concrete, should be decreased. Unfortunately, when industrial by-products are used in large quantities as admixture, the early age strength of concrete will be decreased, reducing its viability for use in concrete structures. Therefore, in this study, the application of an ionization accelerator and alkaline activator as addition agent of superplasticizer were investigated to secure a similar early age strength to that of normal concrete, thus increasing the viability of low cement concrete. Through the investigation, it was found that specimens that used a combination of Alkaline-activator (Na2Sio3) and ionization accelerator (Amine) had the highest early and long-age compressive strength. From this, we can determine an appropriate range of application of superplasticizer to improve early-age compressive strength of low cement concrete.

For the development of magneto rotational instability, which drives mass accretion in protoplanetary disks, sufficient ionization degree is needed. Cosmic rays are believed to be one of the dominant ionization sources for protoplanetary disk gas. In previous studies, ionization rates are computed by considering the effect of attenuation of the cosmic ray (CR) intensity as a function of column density in an unmagnetized cloud. However, in reality particles should sweep up larger column density to reach at the midplane of disk due to their gyromotion. In this study, we investigate the propagation of CR protons in a protoplanetary disk by solving transport and energy loss equations. We discuss the change in CR intensity due to magnetic field in a protoplanetary disk.

본 연구에서는 유기화합물의 효과적인 소프트 이온화를 위하여 기존의 SPI장치를 개선한 새로운 형태의 방전 장치를 제작하였다. 새로 제작된 소프트 플라스마 이온화 장치는 반 원통 형태의 메쉬 음극과 속빈 원통 형태의 양극으로 구성하였다. 이온화원으로 사용하기에 앞서, 특정압력에서 전극간격에 따른 전압 전류 특성곡선을 조사하여 장치의 구성을 최적화 하였으며, 그 결과 넓은 전압 전류 영역에서 안정한 플라스마를 생성하는 조건을 결정하여 다양한 이온화 패턴을 기대 할 수 있게 하였다. 최적화된 이온화장치를 사중극자 질량분석기와 연결하여 디클로로메탄의 질량 스펙트럼을 관찰하였고, 분석결과 디클로로메탄은 전자충격이온화에 의한 분리 패턴과 비슷하게 나타나는 것을 확인하였다.

The rapid and accurate identification of biological agents is a critical step in the case of bio-terror and biological warfare attacks. Recently, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry has been widely used for the identification of microorganisms. In this study, we describe a method for the rapid and accurate discrimination of Bacillus anthracis spores using MALDI-TOF MS. Our direct in-situ analysis of MALDI-TOF MS does not involve subsequent high-resolution mass analyses and sample preparation steps. This method allowed the detection of species-specific biomarkers from each Bacillus spores. Especially, B. anthracis spores had specific biomarker peaks at 2503, 3089, 3376, 6684, 6698, 6753, and 6840 m/z. Cluster and PCA analyses of the mass spectra of Bacillus spores revealed distinctively separated clusters and within-groups similarity. Therefore, we believe that this method is effective in the real-time identification of biological warfare agents such as B. anthracis as well as other microorganisms in the field.

New proteomic techniques have been pioneered extensively in recent years, enabling the high-throughput and systematic analyses of cellular proteins in combination with bioinformatic tools. Furthermore, the development of such novel proteomic techniques facilitates the elucidation of the functions of proteins under stress or disease conditions, resulting in the discovery of biomarkers for responses to environmental stimuli. The ultimate objective of proteomics is targeted toward the entire proteome of life, subcellular localization biochemical activities, and the regulation thereof. Comprehensive analysis strategies of proteomics can be classified into three categories: (i) protein separation via 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) or liquid chromatography (LC), (ii) protein identification via either Edman sequencing or mass spectrometry (MS), and (iii) proteome quantitation. Currently, MS-based proteomics techniques have shifted from qualitative proteome analysis via 2-DE or 2D-LC coupled with off-line matrix assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) and on-line electrospray ionization (ESI) MS, respectively, toward quantitative proteome analysis. In vitro quantitative proteomic techniques include differential gel electrophoresis with fluorescence dyes. protein-labeling tagging with isotope-coded affinity tags, and peptide-labeling tagging with isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation. In addition, stable isotope-labeled amino acids can be in vivo labeled into live culture cells via metabolic incorporation. MS-based proteomics techniques extend to the detection of the phosphopeptide mapping of biologically crucial proteins, which ale associated with post-translational modification. These complementary proteomic techniques contribute to our current understanding of the manner in which life responds to differing environment.

Purpose: To manage radiation measurement equipment, a web-based management program has been developed in this study. Materials and Methods: This program is based on a web service and Java Server Pages (JSP) and employs compatibility and accessibility. Results: The first step in the workflow has been designed to create accounts for each user or organization and to log in. The program consists of two parts: fields for listed instruments, and measurement information. The instruments for measuring radiation listed in this program are as follows: ionization chambers, survey meters, thermometers, barometers, electrometers, and phantoms. Instrument properties can be put in the recording fields and browsing for associated instruments can be performed. The main part of the program is the cross-calibration for each ion chamber. For instance, the ionization chamber to be used as a relative dosimeter can be registered by cross-calibration data with a reference chamber calibrated by an accredited laboratory. This program supports methods using the central axis transfer theory for cross-calibration for the ionization chambers. The reference and field ionization chambers were placed in a solid water phantom along the beam central axis at two different depths, and then the positions were switched. Each measured value was used for calculating the cross-calibration factor. Conclusions: Because many instruments are used and managed in radiation oncology departments, systematic, traceable recording is very important. The web-based program developed in this study is expected to be used effectively in the maintenance of radiation measurement instruments.

고전압에서도 사용 가능한 바인더 개발에 대한 요구가 증대됨에 따라 이에 적합한 내산화성이 우수한 바인더를 양자화학적 모델링에 기반하여 제안하고자 하였다. 각 고분자 poly(acryl amide)(PAM), poly(methyl acrylate)(PMA), poly(vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF), poly(hexafluropropylene)(PHFP)에 대하여 반경험적 방법(Semi-empirical method) 및 밀도범함수 이론(Density Functional Theory, DFT) 방법을 이용하여 단량체부터 사량체까지의 고분자 바인더에 대한 최고 점유 분자 궤도함수(Highest occupied molecular orbital, HOMO) 에너지와 이온화 에너지(Ionization Potential, IP) 값을 구하여 실험 값과 비교하였다. 밀도범함수 방법으로 해석한 결과, PHFP, PVDF, PMA, PAM 순으로 고분자의 내산화성이 좋은 것으로 시뮬레이션을 통해 예측되었고, 이러한 결과는 선형 훑음 전압-전류법(Linear Sweep Voltametry, LSV)으로부터 얻은 실험값과 일치하였다. 또한 이 결과는 HOMO 오비탈의 구조를 분석하여 내산화성이 좋은 원인을 규명하였다.
