The use of ionizing radiation (IR) is essential for treating many human cancers. However, radioresistance markedly impairs the efficacy of tumor radiotherapy. IR enhances the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in a variety of cells which are determinant components in the induction of apoptosis. Much interest has developed to augment the effect of radiation in tumors by combining it with radiosensitizers to improve the therapeutic ratio. In the current study, the radiosensitizing effects of resveratrol and piperine on cancer cells were evaluated. Cancer cell lines treated with these natural products exhibited significantly augmented IR-induced apoptosis and loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, presumably through enhanced ROS generation. Applying natural products as sensitizers for IR-induced apoptotic cell death offers a promising therapeutic approach to treat cancer.

A numerical investigation on the conduction-natural convection-surface radiation conjugate heat transfer in the enclosure having substrate and chips has been performed. A 2-dimensional simulation model is developed by considering heat transfer by conduction, convection and radiation. The solutions to the equation of radiative transfer are obtained by the discrete ordinates method using S-4 quadrature. The effects of Rayleigh number and the substrate-fluid thermal conductivity ratio on the cooling of chip are analyzed. The result shows that radiation is the dominant heat transfer mode in the enclosure.

The problem of natural convection from a vertical fin is solved by coupling the thermal diffusion equation in the fin to the constitutive equations of the ambient medium involving the radiation of the medium. The analysis is accomplished by employing an integral method. The governing equations for the problem are solved by shooting method based on the Runge-Kutta Scheme at Pr= 0.7. For the range of values of the fin parameter and the radiation-conduction parameter in the analysis, the numerical results show that the radiation effects play an important role in the heat transfer and enhance the heat transfer.

주5일 근무제와 여가 생활의 증가로 인하여 캠핑을 하는 사람들이 지속적으로 증가 하고 있다. 따라서 다양한 캠핑장시설이 증가하고 있다. 사설 캠핑장의 경우 파쇄석이라 불리는 자갈 사이트와 일반 흙으로 된 사이트 등 다양한 사이트가 존재한다. 캠핑장은 야외 활동이 많은 곳이기 때문에 캠핑장내에서 측정되는 방사선량을 각각 다른 싸이트 별로 자연방사선량을 측정한 후에 분석하였다. 파쇄석으로 만들어진 장소보다는 흙으로 만들어진 싸이트에서 자연방사선량이 적게 측정되었으며, 인위적으로 만든 타프 그늘보다는 자연적으로 형성된 나무그늘이 자연 방사선량이 적게 측정되었다. 결론적으로 캠핑장소 선택시에서 자연방사선량을 피하려면 인위적으로 만든 캠핑장 보다는 나무가 많은 자연휴양림 장소가 캠핑하기 좋은 곳 이라고 알리고 싶다.

D-Shuttle (Chiyoda Technol Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) 선량계를 이용하여 개인피폭관리 및 자연방사선량의 모니터링을 위한 기초자료를 제공하는데 연구의 목적이 있다. D-Shuttle을 이용하여 선량을 산출하였다. 선량보고서에서 400 일 노출되었을 때에 1.346 mSv 이었고, 연간선량 (annual dose per year)은 1.228 mSv/year, 평균시간선량 (average dose per hour)은 $0.014{\mu}Sv/hr$ 이었다. 국내의 개인 외부피폭선량 (1.295 mSv/year =Korea average natural individual external dose), 국내의 연간부가선량 (additional dose per year)은 -0.0663 mSv/year 이다. D-Shuttle은 방사선모니터링을 위한 개인선량계로 방사선의 검출성능 우수한 기능, 실시간 방사선 피폭관리, 방사선 작업의 경보 기능, 효율적이고 사용이 편리한 개인 방사선선량의 피폭관리로 ALARA에 매우 유용한 선량계로 사용할 수 있다. 방사선작업종사자와 지역주민의 방사선모니터링 측정기기로 병원, 산업, 의료현장, 원전사고 지역과 비파괴 분야의 위험한 지역에서 방사선모니터링으로 활용될 수 있다.

Radiation technology (RT) has long been applied in various fields for increasing the safety and shelf-life of foods by controlling pathogen-induced poisoning. RT was introduced for the first time in Korea in the 1950s to eliminate harmful microorganisms in food materials. In the 1980s, RT had been scientifically proven to be effective for the sterilization of food and public health products. In recent years, irradiation with gamma rays has also been used for improving physiological properties through the structural modification of natural molecules, which has been proposed to be applicable to various industries. In particular, radiation transformation technology (RTT), which involves the development of new functional compounds through the molecular conversion of natural biomaterials, is becoming a new high-value technology as a fusion technique of RT and biotechnology. The present reports have suggested that RTT can be an effective tool for the development of new functional compounds and improvement of the physiological activity of biomolecules.

지금까지 가상 환경을 무대로 하는 게임 등에서 자연 현상의 처리는 시각적인 사실성에 치우친 그래픽 처리 위주로 연구되어져 왔다. 그러나 인과관계(causality)를 고려하지 않은 자연 현상들의 발생과 법칙에 기반하지 않은 현상들의 전개는 논리적 사실성을 감소시켜 사용자들의 몰입감을 떨어뜨린다. 본 논문에서는 자연 현상 중에서 태양복사(solar radiation)와 바람에 초점을 맞추어서, 이들의 다양하고 예측하기 어려운 발생과 전개과정을 시뮬레이션 하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 ontology에 기반한 객체들의 구조를 살펴보고, 이들을 바탕으로 가상 환경을 구성하였을 때 가상 환경의 데이타를 관리하는 방안을 제시한다. 그리고 각 자연 현상 이벤트에 대한 과정을 단계별로 상세히 다루고, 나아가 객체가 정성적 변화를 하였을 때 상황을 처리하는 방법을 제시한다.

Background & Objectives: This study investigates the recognition on the necessity of the use of radiation for both college students who are considered that they have a high knowledge level in radiation and proposes basic materials to change the recognition of the use of radiation. Also, the investigation was applied to average people who showed the most negative attitudes on radiation. Methods: A questionnaire was applied to 600 college students for five days from October 10 to 15, 2005 and used in statistical analysis. Results: The average value obtained in the recognition of the use of radiation was 76.60 points in which male respondents who were majored in natural science, health, and engineering department and respondents who have experienced radiation related education, radiation diagnosis, and radiation treatment demonstrated higher levels. Also, the average value obtained in the recognition of the radiation damage was 71.66 points in which respondents who were majored in natural sciences, humanities, engineering, and health department showed higher levels than that of respondents who were majored in art and physical department. Groups that exhibited higher recognition levels in the necessity of the use of radiation were male respondents and respondents who were majored in natural science, humanities, and health department and have experienced radiation diagnosis and radiation treatment. In the results of the correlation analysis on the necessity of the use of radiation and recognition of radiation damages, the recognition of radiation damages was presented as negative attitudes in the case of the higher recognition level in the necessity of the use of radiation. Conclusions: Regarding the frequency of the use of radiation in Korea, a 80.9% of university students who showed a high education level had no experiences in radiation related education. Although they showed a relatively high level of 76.6 points in the recognition level of the necessity of the use of radiation, the negative attitude on the radiation damage was also presented as a high level of 71.7 points. Because the providing chance of radiation related information was limited as compared to the atomic power used in Korea and dependancy of the use of radiation, it is necessary to provide the basic information related in the use of radiation to the public. In addition, various investigations on the use of radiation and such negative attitudes are required in future for the public. Also, the correct information of the radiation safety should be delivered to the public.

Medical use of radiation is increasing in recent times and its influence on the population creates almost the same amount of annual natural background radiation in industrialized countries in particular. Thus, medical radiation has become a social issue. This paper is a brief report on the status of medical exposure in Korea by way of consulting from the radiation-related medical societies in Korea.
