Irradiation offers an effective and simple means to extend shelf-life of meat and improve processing properties of meat products. Many researches have been conducted to evaluate the effects of irradiation on meats and meat products. There were some interesting reports such as increase of redness and tenderness of meat and decrease of carcinogenic N-nitrosamines and residual nitrite in cured meat products by irradiation. And, the safety of irradiated products have been also studied. Lipid oxidation and off-odor induced by irradiation can be minimized by appropriate controls of irradiation and storage condition such as addition of antioxidants or oxygen exclusion packaging. The objective of this paper is to introduce the effect of gamma irradiation on quality of meats and meat products reported from the previous researches.

We studied the effect of Fe ion irradiation on the upper critical field ($H_{c2}$) of 410 nm single-crystalline $MgB_2$ thin films. The irradiation energy was fixed at 140 keV when we increased the irradiation doses from $1{\times}10^{14}ion/cm^2$ to $4{\times}10^{14}ion/cm^2$. We found that $H_{c2}$ significantly increase with increasing irradiation dose, despite the low irradiation energy. The enhancement of $H_{c2}$ could be explained by the reduction of electron mean free path caused by defects induced from irradiation, leading to a decrease of coherence length (${\xi}$). We also discussed the effect of irradiation on temperature-dependent resistivity in details.

Understanding the irradiation hardening effect of structural steels under various irradiation conditions plays an important role in developing advanced nuclear systems. Such being the case, a crystal plasticity model for body-centered cubic (BCC) crystal based on the density of dislocations and irradiation defects is summarized and numerically implemented in this paper. Based on this model, nano-indentation hardness of Chinese A508-3 steels with ion irradiation is calculated. Very good agreement is observed between simulation and experimental data of several different irradiation doses subjected to various operating temperatures, from which, it can be concluded that indentation hardness increases with increasing irradiation dose at both room temperature and high temperature. Consequently, the validity of this model has been proved properly, and furthermore, the model established in this paper could guide the study of irradiation hardening effect and temperature effect to some extent.

Studies were performed to determine the effect of red ginseng and white ginseng on jejunal crypt survival, endogenous spleen colony formation, and apoptosis of jejunal crypt cells in irradiated mice. The radioprotective effect of ginseng was compared with the effect of diethyldithocarbamate(D). Jejunal crypts were protected from irradiation by pretreatment of red ginseng (50 mg/kg B.W., I.P. at 36 and 12 hours before irradiation) and white ginseng (50 mg/kg B.W., I.P. at 36 and 12 hours before irradiation). Red ginseng administration before irradiation and both pretreatment and posttreatment (50 mg/kg B.W., I.P. at 30 minutes after irradiation) of white ginseng resulted in an increase of the formation of endogenous spleen colony. the frequency of radiation-induced apoptosis in intestinal crypt cells was also reduced by both pretreatment and posttreatment of red ginseng, and pretreatment of white ginseng. The radioprotective effect of DDC (1000 mg/kg B.W., I.P. at 30 minutes before irradiation) on jejunal crypt survival and apoptosis was similar to those of ginseng treatment. Treatment with DDC showed no significant modifying effects on formation of endogenous spleen colony. These results indicated that ginseng might be a useful radioprotector. Further studies are needed to characterize effective radioprotective components and mechanism of ginseng.

This study examined the effect of electron-beam (E-beam) irradiation on the electrical properties of n-GaN, AlGaN and AlGN/GaN structures on sapphire substrates. E-beam irradiation resulted in a significant decrease in the gate leakage current of the n-GaN, AlGaN and HEMT structure from $4.0{\times}10^{-4}A$, $6.5{\times}10^{-5}A$, $2.7{\times}10^{-8}A$ to $7.7{\times}10^{-5}A$, $7.7{\times}10^{-6}A$, $4.7{\times}10^{-9}A$, respectively, at a drain voltage of -10V. Furthermore, we also investigated the effect of E-beam irradiation on the AlGaN surface in AlGaN/GaN heterostructure high electron mobility transistors(HEMTs). The results showed that the maximum drain current density of the AlGaN/GaN HEMTs with E-beam irradiation was greatly improved, when compared to that of the AlGaN/GaN HEMTs without E-beam irradiation. These results strongly suggest that E-beam irradiation is a promising method to reduce leakage current of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs on sapphire through the neutralization the trap.

Low level laser therapy has various therapy effects. This paper performed the basic study for developing the Low Level Laser Therapy Equipment for medical treatment. The apparatus has been fabricated using the laser diode and microprocessor unit. This equipment was fabricated using a micro-controller and a laser diode, and designed to enable us to control light time, frequency and so on. In this study, the designed device was used irradiation to find out how 850 nm laser diode affected the cell proliferation of RAT bone-marrow cells. Experiment was performed to irradiation group and non-irradiation group for Rat bone marrow cells. MTT assay method was chosen to verify the cell increase of two groups and the effect of irradiation on cell proliferation was examined by measuring 590 nm transmittance of micro plate reader. As a result, the cell increase of Rat bone marrow cells was verified in irradiation group as compared to non-irradiation group. The fact that specific wavelength irradiation has an effect on cell vitality and proliferation is known through this study.

Effects of irradiation on color removal, tyrosinase inhibition, xanthine oxidase inhibition and nitrite scavenging capacity of Lonicera japonica extracts were evaluated. Lonicera japonica extracts were irradiated at 10, 20, and 30 kGy. Hunter color $L^{*}$- and $a^{*}$-values increased but $b^{*}$-values decreased dose-dependently following irradiation. The extracts were potent inhibitors of tyrosinase and xanthine oxidase. Tyrosinase inhibition was higher in the irradiated sample than non-irradiated, and subsequently increased with increasing irradiation doses. The extracts had a higher inhibitory effect against xanthine oxidase, and the effect was not changed by irradiation. Nitrite scavenging capacity was the highest in the extract at pH 1.2, and was not significantly affected by irradiation. These results indicate that gamma irradiation may not influence the biological activities of Lonicera japonica extracts when irradiated up to 30 kGy. Furthermore, color of the extracts can be improved to have improved applicability for the food and cosmetic industries without any adverse change in biological functions.ons.s.

A design of experiments was applied in order to investigate the effect of processing variables in UV irradiation on the electrical/optical properties in indium-zinc oxide thin films, The processing variables, equivalently input variables are listed as UV irradiation time, oxygen flow rate, and chamber pressure. The statistical significance of Ultra Violet (UV) treatment was confirmed using a paired-t test. The full factorial $2^3$ design was employed to determine significant main and interaction effects in UV irradiation process. The chamber pressure and the interaction between UV irradiation time and $O_2$ flow rate were found to be statistically significant at the significance level of 0.1. Furthermore, the optimized approach was proposed in achieving the improved conductivity after UV irradiation.

The sanitizing effect of irradiation on the fresh vegetable extract juices was investigated. Total bacteria, coliform bacteria and total ascorbic acid were determined during the storage periods at 4oC. Chlorophyll, carotenoid, tannin, electron donating ability and peroxidase activity were determined immediately after irradiation. Results showed that the viable cells were detected below the level of 105 CFU/ml during 12 days with doses of 3 and 5 kGy. Total ascorbic acid and tannin contents increased immediately after irradiation. However, irradiation didn't affect chlorophyll and car otenoid contents, electron donating ability, and peroxidase activity. It was considered that irradiation was effective in sanitizing fresh vegetable extract juices.
