An experimental study on arc resistance and light reflectance of PTFE is presented. PTFE has been used widely as a material for circuit breaker nozzle. In the arcing environment, radiative power incident upon the nozzle wall may be transmitted through the nozzle material. Adding some fillers into PTFE was expected to be efficient in improving the endurability to radiation.

Influences of carbon black contents on the tracking resistance, tan $\delta$ and dielectric constant volume resistivity and dielectric strength of EPDM compounds before and after a exposure to UV radiation were investigated. Carbon black content up to 1.5 phr have a positive effect to improve the resistance to tracking and erosion, since carbon black diminish the leakage current. Results from the study reveal that both tan $\delta$ and dielectric constant volume resistivity and dielectric strength are unaffected by adding of carbon black up to 2.0 phr and carbon black have a significant effect to suppress the photo-degradation of EPDM compounds.

High ionic strength is expected to enhance dissociation of Ca-DPA from spores and to contribute to a detrimental effect on spore stability or on spore heat resistance with a combined treatment of gamma-radiation. From this study, this hypothesis has become apparent as as follows; 1) Ca-DPA dissociation contributes to loss of stability of bacterial spores with respect to heat resistance, survival during storage, and 2) the cytoplasmic membrane plays a role in maintaining the stability of DPA-Ca-spore complex, apparently by serving as a permeability barrier.

The channel irregularity of Successive Approximation ADC is very large in comparison with other type of ADCs. This characteristic makes it impossible to apply the Successive Approximation ADC to the field of radiation pulse height analysis or the measurement of probability density function. In this paper, an analysis of differential non-linearity of this ADC-is presented. It is made clear that the small deviation of resistance causes very large differential non-linearity.

Slate-plastic composite was prepared by impregnating methyl methacrylate monomer into the slate and subsequent curing the monomer either by gamma radiation or by thermal-catalytic method. Experiments were carried out to determine the polymerization rate and to investigate the properties of the composite. Significant improvements in flexural strength, water absorbability and acid resistance were observed in the products. Differences in properties between the composites obtained via two different methods were discussed as well as the cause of such results.

In the genus Cryptosporidium, there are more than 14 species with different sizes and habitats, as well as different hosts. Among these, C. parvum and C. hominis are known to be human pathogens. As C. parvum can survive exposure to harsh environmental conditions, including various disinfectants or high doses of radiation, it is considered to be an important environmental pathogen that may be a threat to human health. However, the resistance of other Cryptosporidium species to various environmental conditions is unknown. In this study, resistance against ${\gamma}$-irradiation was compared between C. parvum and C. muris using in vivo infection in mice. The capability of C. muris to infect mice could be eliminated with 1,000 Gy of ${\gamma}$-irradiation, while C. parvum remained infective in mice after up to 1,000 Gy of ${\gamma}$-irradiation, although the peak number of oocysts per gram of feces decreased to 16% that of non-irradiated oocysts. The difference in radioresistance between these 2 Cryptosporidium species should be investigated by further studies.

Recently LED fish-attracting lamps have been more widely used in fisheries as low-cost and high-efficiency fishing gear, and development of long-life high-efficiency lamps is required through the design of LED packages to optimize heat resistance. This study developed an improved LED fish-attracting lamp with excellent heat performance, which was verified using a numerical model. Heat-resistance design factors such as the heat-radiation fin shape, PCB type, and LED chip count were investigated and optimized. Comparison with a commercial 180-W LED fishing lamp showed that the increase in initial temperature was 40% higher than that of the surrounding LED chip because of design errors in contact thermal resistance. The 250-W LED lamp developed in this study has a characteristic with thermal rising in linearly stable according to the heat source. In addition, luminance efficiency was improved by 20-65% by using flow-visualization simulation. A decrease of 45% in total power consumption with a fuel-cost reduction of over 55% can be expected when using these optimized heat release design factors.

Attempts to isolate the naturally occurring ultra-violet resistant bacteria from environmental sources were made. The isolates, designated No.29, 100, and 107, among numbers of bacterial isolates revealed a remarkable resistance to UV ray, whose degree of resistance in dose/response kinetics was comparable to that of an endospore-former, Bacillus subtilis. In a range of 100-300 $Jm^{-2}$/min of UV irradiation, the isolates exhibited 500-1000 fold resistance compated with E. coli. The isolated appeared to possiss cell-bound pigment of organge or crimson-red. The isolate 29 is spherical in pairs or tetrads, whereas the isolates 100 and 107 are rod. All are Gram-gositive bacteria and seemed to be non-endospore-bearer. A number of biochemical studies pursued on the isolates suggested that they are quite different to each other. Electron microscopic examination and the physiological characters of the isolate 29 suggested that this UV resistant spherical bacterium might be one species of Deinococcus, probably Deinococus radiophilus. Since there is no documents on UV resistant, Gram-positive, non-sporeformer bacillus so far, the isolates 100 and 107 might be turned out as new kinds of UV resistant bacteria occurring in nature by further investigation.

This paper describes the influence of Ultra-violet irradiation on time to tracking resistance of epoxy insulating materials by use of the inclined plane test. And, the influence of surface degradation was evaluated through several method such as measurement of contact angle, surface roughness, using a scanning electron microscopy. As the 1000 hours of the surface degradation with UV-CON, the flashover time decreases at different rates depending on epoxy resin and silicone rubber specimen. As the duration of the surface degradation with UV-CON is prolonged, the contact angle of epoxy resin decreases at the rate of degradation time, while that of silicone rubber was not exchanged. It is assumed that this phenomenon is related to the decrease in hydrophobicity of the surface of the materials. Also, as to epoxy resin, the decrease of hydrophobicity due to surface degradation with UV-CON is greater than that resulting from surface degradation with WOM. The UV radiation produced chalking and crazing on the surface of the insulating materials specimen.
