Ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation induces the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that promote apoptotic cell death. We showed that cytosolic $NADP^+$-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDPc) plays an essential role in the control of cellular redox balance and defense against oxidative damage, by supplying NADPH for antioxidant systems. In this study, we demonstrated that knockdown of IDPc expression by RNA interference enhances UVB-induced apoptosis of immortalized human HaCaT keratinocytes. This effect manifested as DNA fragmentation, changes in cellular redox status, mitochondrial dysfunction, and modulation of apoptotic marker expression. Based on our findings, we suggest that attenuation of IDPc expression may protect skin from UVB-mediated damage, by inducing the apoptosis of UV-damaged cells.

치과병의원에서 사용하고 있는 이동형 치과 X선 발생장치를 이용하여 두경부 마네킹에 X선을 조사할 때 주변의 공간선량을 측정하고, 동일한 방법으로 고정형 X선 발생장치에 적용하여 측정된 공간선량을 상호 비교하며, 더불어 기기 및 위치별 공간선량을 비교 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 이동형 X선 발생장치의 평균 공간선량은 $37.51{\mu}Sv$로 고정형 X선 발생장치의 $10.77{\mu}Sv$보다 매우 높았다(p<0.001). 이동형 X선 발생장치의 기기별 공간선량은 $17.77{\mu}Sv$부터 $68.90{\mu}Sv$까지 큰 차이를 나타냈다(p<0.05). 위치별로는 직전 위치가 $54.14{\mu}Sv$로 가장 높았고, 직우 위치가 $13.60{\mu}Sv$로 가장 낮았으며, 직좌와 직후 위치는 $42.12{\mu}Sv$, $40.18{\mu}Sv$로 유사하였다(p<0.01). 이상의 결과를 통해 이동용 치과 X선 발생장치는 이동 불가능한 환자만을 대상으로 제한적으로 시행하여야 하며, 반드시 환자와 술자 모두 납 방어복을 착용하여 방사선 피폭을 최소화해야 할 것이다.

본 논문에서는 단위-셀 EM 시뮬레이션 기법을 통해 주파수 선택적 전파투과막(FSS: Frequency Selective Surface)을 갖는 AEM(Advanced Enclosed Mast) 레이돔을 설계하고, $16{\times}16$ 배열안테나 방사 패턴 시험을 통해 레이돔의 성능을 검증하였다. 측정한 결과, 평면파 입사 조건을 가정한 시뮬레이션 결과와 원전계 및 근전계 조건에 레이돔을 두고 시험한 결과가 서로 잘 일치하는 결과를 확인하였다. 이 결과들을 통해 검증된 AEM형 FSS 레이돔을 활용하여 기존 마스트 대비 안테나의 RCS를 줄이는 것이 가능할 것이다.

Ignition transient is a. very rapid process lasting only in the order of 100 milliseconds and therefore it is difficult to measure all relevant ballistic properties. Numerical simulation is thus useful to quantify some of these hard to measure flow and ballistic properties. One-dimensional model was employed to study the effects of aging using simplified aging scenarios for both N-H sustainer and booster motors. Also the effects of newly designed igniter on the ignition of N-H sustainer was simulated. Radiation effects could be significant in terms of energy flux increase to the propellant surface and the energy exchange between the combustion gas itself. One dimension implementation of radiation showed significant effects for rear-mounted igniter. Implementation of radiation effects into 2-D axi-symmetric numerical model was completed and its effects on the N-H sustainer were examined. To have a reliable prediction of computer model on ignition transient, accurate chemical property data on the propellant and igniter gas are required. It was found that such property data on aged N-H motors are not available. Chemical aging model can be used to predict to some degree of accuracy effects of aging on chemical and mechanical properties. Such a model was developed, albeit 2-dimensional, to study migration of moisture through a representative solid rocket motor configuration.

The effects of UV-B radiation on the seedling growth, carbohydrate metabolism and antioxidants activities of rice (Oryza sativa L.) were investigated under environmentally controlled chamber. Supplementary UV­B radiation reduced dry matter as well as leaf area, there­fore, relative growth rates (RGR) of seedlings were decreased by up to half compared to control. Photosynthetic products such as soluble sugars and starch were rapidly and significantly reduced by within 1 day of enhanced UV-B radiation due to the inhibition and degradation of photosynthetic processes and thylakoid membrane integrity. In our study, nonstructural carbohydrate levels were proved to be a main indicator on UV-B­induced stress. The behavior of SOD, CAT, APX and POD activities was monitored in the leaves of rice seedlings subjected to UV-B radiation. Under UV-B treatments, SOD activity was initially increased, whereas CAT and POD activities were slowly and slightly increased. However, APX activity showed no presumable results with an increase of UV-B dose. In leaves of rice seedlings, supplementary UV-B radiation caused an increase in free putrescine and spermidine, however spermine remained unaltered, although 24-hrs UV-B treatment slightly increased. This result presumes that an excess UV-B dose may induce ethylene biosynthesis (senescence) rather than polyamine biosynthesis (defense).

This study, "The study about performance evaluations of mobile cover for X-ray's diffusion and distribution in mobile radiation" is based on the rules of mobile defense apparatus for radiation producer in 2006. To use the mobile cover for X-ray for diagnosis has been compulsory in common wards except operation rooms, emergency rooms and intensive care units. we have confirmed the effect in arbitrary shielding material after Qualitiy Control was carried out for accuracy in an experiment of mobile photographing equipment. The performance evaluation was conducted with the fabrics of selenium, 0.2 mmPb, 0.1 mmPb and aluminiums. Considering the result, we choosed 0.1 mmPb and attached cover to mobile photographing equipment. We have finished making the cover after drew up the draft to attach cover to mobile photographing equipment through the modeling and the structural analysis. the process of the study is that we assembled the manufactured structures and carried out the practical experiment to take the photograph after attaching the fabric of 0.1 mmPb to mobile photographing equipment. It is need of additional thesises hereafter that we compare the result between the part to improve for safety besides convenience in photographic experiment about clinical radiation and the effect of covering the diffusion in condition attached the cover.

Nowadays, mobile robots have been used to search for uncontrolled radioactive source in indoor environments to avoid radiation exposure for technicians. However, in the indoor environments, especially in the presence of obstacles, how to make the robots with limited sensing capabilities automatically search for the radioactive source remains a major challenge. Also, the source search efficiency of robots needs to be further improved to meet practical scenarios such as limited exploration time. This paper proposes an automatic source search strategy, abbreviated as ACA: the location of source is estimated by a convolutional neural network (CNN), and the path is planned by the A-star algorithm. First, the search area is represented as an occupancy grid map. Then, the radiation dose distribution of the radioactive source in the occupancy grid map is obtained by Monte Carlo (MC) method simulation, and multiple sets of radiation data are collected through the eight neighborhood self-avoiding random walk (ENSAW) algorithm as the radiation data set. Further, the radiation data set is fed into the designed CNN architecture to train the network model in advance. When the searcher enters the search area where the radioactive source exists, the location of source is estimated by the network model and the search path is planned by the A-star algorithm, and this process is iterated continuously until the searcher reaches the location of radioactive source. The experimental results show that the average number of radiometric measurements and the average number of moving steps of the ACA algorithm are only 2.1% and 33.2% of those of the gradient search (GS) algorithm in the indoor environment without obstacles. In the indoor environment shielded by concrete walls, the GS algorithm fails to search for the source, while the ACA algorithm successfully searches for the source with fewer moving steps and sparse radiometric data.

본 논문에서는 VHF 및 UHF 대역에서 사용되는 LPDA(Log-Periodic Dipole Array) 안테나를 소형화 하는 연구를 하였다. LPDA 안테나를 소형화하기 위해, 본 연구에서는 LPDA 안테나의 저주파 대역 방사 소자를 급전 부분의 전류 상쇄 효과가 적은 삼각형 미앤더 구조로 변형시켰다. 삼각형 미앤더 구조는 이등변 삼각형 미앤더 구조와 직각 삼각형 미앤더 구조를 제안하였으며, 두 가지 미앤더 구조를 적용하여 LPDA 안테나를 소형화 하였다. 또한, 소형화된 LPDA 안테나에 대해서 시뮬레이션과 측정 결과를 비교하였다. 그 결과, 이등변 삼각형 미앤더 구조 적용 LPDA 안테나와 직각삼각형 미앤더 구조 적용 LPDA 안테나는 기본형 LPDA 안테나에 비해서 각각 60.5 %, 72.4 %로 소형화되었다. 따라서 제안된 삼각형 미앤더 구조가 LPDA 안테나의 소형화에 적합함을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 개발된 모터 조립체의 누설 잡음신호 감쇠 방안을 시험을 통해 제안한다. 개발된 장치는 항공기 외부에 장착되어 안테나를 회전시키기 위한 장치로서 전자기 간섭 측면에서 MIL-STD-461F의 RE102 요구규격을 충족해야한다. RE102 시험결과를 통해 장치의 누설 잡음신호가 전원 및 제어 케이블을 통한 외부 유입과 모터 회전에 의해 발생됨을 확인하였다. 그리고 회전을 위해 내 외부의 물리적 차폐가 어려운 부분에서 잡음신호가 누설됨을 확인하였다. 누설 잡음신호에 대한 감쇠를 위해 장치 동작을 고려한 전기적 접지 보강, 전기적 차폐 구조를 적용하여 시험을 수행했고 규격 충족 여부를 확인하였다. 최종적으로 잡음누설 경로에 맞물리는 형태를 갖는 원형 주름 초크 구조와 전도성 그리스를 함께 적용하여 요구규격을 충족함을 확인하였다.
