  • The purpose of this study is to evaluate the change of volatile compounds in Dakgalbi cooked by charcoal broiling. Fresh deboned and marinated chicken meat was cooked by electric-pan frying or charcoal broiling and subsequently irradiated with a dose of 0, 10 and 20 kGy. Volatile components from Dakgalbi were analyzed using solid phase micro-extraction gas chromatography - mass spectrometry (SPME GC-MS) and identified through the comparison of mass spectrum database. SPME GC-MS analysis shows that a total of 32 volatiles were identified. Among them, aldehydes such as hexanal and octanal, which have relevance to off-flavors such as green, paint, metallic, bean and rancid were detected in Dakgalbi cooked by both methods. However, the contents were less detected in the Dakgalbi cooked by charcoal broiling than in the Dakgalbi cooked by electric-pan frying. Gamma-irradiation caused the change in the formation of these aldehydes in cooked Dakgalbi. The irradiation significantly increased the contents of hexanal and octanal in Dakgalbi cooked by electric-pan frying and a similar increase was found in Dakgalbi cooked by charcoal broiling. However, the contents of the off-flavors were much less in the latter. The results suggest that charcoal broiling might be more effective than electric-pan frying for the reduction of the contents of off-flavor such as hexanal and octanal increased in Dakgalbi by gamma-irradiation.

  • In Korea, a real-time effective dose measurement system is in development. The system uses 32 high-sensitivity MOSFET dosimeters to measure radiation doses at various organ locations in an anthropomorphic physical phantom. The MOSFET dosimeters are, however, mainly made of silicon and shows some degree of energy and angular dependence especially for low energy photons. This study determines the correction factors to correct for these dependences of the MOSFET dosimeters for accurate measurement of radiation doses at organ locations in the phantom. For this, first, the dose correction factors of MOSFET dosimeters were determined for the energy spectrum in the steam generator channel of the Kori Nuclear Power Plant Unit #1 by Monte Carlo simulations. Then, the results were compared with the dose correction factors from 0.652 MeV and 1.25 MeV mono-energetic photons. The difference of the dose correction factors were found very negligible $(\leq1.5%)$, which in general shows that the dose corrections factors determined from 0.662 MeV and 1.25 MeV can be in a steam general channel head of a nuclear power plant. The measured effective dose was generally found to decrease bit $\sim7%$ when we apply the dose correction factors.

  • $^{134}Cs$ radioactive concentration among soil samples is difficult to classify due to the background impact on crust originated natural radioactive nuclide, and overlapping and interfering between peaks. The ways to identify true peaks in gamma-ray spectroscopy are as follows to reduce statistical fluctuation by smoothing based on the fact that the shapes of peak are mostly Gaussian, to inspect the levels of width and height of peaks, to add functions on low-energy trailing phenomena, or 4) to check the peaks after modifying Gaussian function itself. Therefore, it is considered that information and knowledge for spectrum analysis are necessary.

  • Accurate prediction of the radiated noise is important to reduce the noise of the washing machine. It is also necessary to predict the excitation force accurately because excitation force can induce noise. In order to predict the excitation force acting on the washing machine, this paper conducts source identification method by use of phase reference spectrum. In this method, the transfer function between the cabinet and the motor through FEM and the measured response from the surface of the cabinet is used. The analysis of the radiation noise from the identified exciting force has been investigated. The comparison between the predicted SPL and the measured SPL at 1m apart from the front side of the washing machine showed good tendency.

  • The techniques to recycle and reuse plastics attract public attention. These public attraction and needs result in improving the recycling technique. However, the identification technique for black plastic wastes still have big problem that the spectrum extracted from near infrared radiation spectroscopy is not clear and is contaminated by noise. To overcome this problem, we apply Raman spectroscopy to extract a clear spectrum of plastic material. In addition, to improve the classification ability of fuzzy Radial Basis Function Neural Networks, we apply supervised learning based clustering method instead of unsupervised clustering method. The conditional fuzzy C-Means clustering method, which is a kind of supervised learning based clustering algorithms, is used to determine the location of radial basis functions. The conditional fuzzy C-Means clustering analyzes the data distribution over input space under the supervision of auxiliary information. The auxiliary information is defined by using k Nearest Neighbor approach.

  • Spectral emissivity depends on the surface conditions of the materials. The mechanisms that affect the spectral emissivity in anodic oxide films on aluminum were investigated. The aluminum specimens were anodized in a sulfuric acid solution and the thickness of the resulting oxide film formed changed with the anodizing time. FT-IR spectrum analysis identified the anodic oxide film as boehmite ($Al_2$$O_3$.$H_2$O). Both the infrared emisivity and reflectivity of the anodized aluminum were affected by the structure of the anodic oxide film because Al-OH and Al-O-Al have a pronounced absorption band in the infrared region of the spectrum. The presence of an anodic oxide film on aluminum caused a rapid drop in the infrared reflectivity. An aluminum surface in the clean state had an emissivity of approximately 0.2. However, the infrared emissivity rapidly increased to 0.91 as the thickness of the anodic oxide film increased.

  • White organic LED spectrum for lighting and displaying should be designed for high luminous efficiency as well as good chromaticity coordinate, pleasant correlated color temperature and color rendering. A program based on Matlab was made to make these calculations convenient. The chromaticity coordinate and luminous efficiency was calculated according to the CIE 1931 colorimetric system, while the correlated color temperature(CCT) was calculated based on CIE 1960 UCS diagram. The color rendering characteristics were evaluated according to the CIE Color Rendering Index (CRI), using Ra, Ri and ${\bigtriangleup}E$ from the 14 color samples defined in CIE13.3.

  • I discuss implications of gamma-ray emission from blazars based on electron acceleration by shock waves in a relativistic jet. The number spectrum of electrons turns out to be a broken power law; while at low energies the power law index has a universal value of 2, at high energies it steepens to an index of 3 because of strong radiative cooling. This spectrum can basically reproduce the observed spectral break between X-rays and gamma-rays. I show that energetics of relativistic jets can be well explained by this model. I estimate physical quantities of the relativistic jets by comparing the prediction with observations. The results show that the jets are particle dominated and are comprised of electron-positron pairs. A connection between gamma-ray emission and radiation drag is also discussed.

  • A blue light emitting device has been successfully fabricated using a polymer with regulated conjugation length containing trimethylsilyl substituted phenylenevinylene units. Electroluminescence from the device has an emission maximum at 470 nm. The device shows typical diode characteristics with operating voltage of 20 V and the light becomes visible at a current density of less than $0.5;mA/cm^2$. The electroluminescence spectrum is virtually identical with the photoluminescence spectrum, indicating that the radiation mechanisms are the same for both. A light emitting device using the blend of a large band gap polymer and a small band gap polymer was also fabricated. Light emission from the small band gap polymer shows much improved quantum efficiency, but there is no light emission from the large band gap polymer. Quantum efficiency of the blend increases up to about two orders of magnitude greater than that of the small band gap polymer with increasing proportion of the large band gap polymer. The improvement in quantum efficiency is interpreted in terms of exciton transfer and the hole blocking behaviour of the large band gap polymer. Finally, we have fabricated a patterned flexible light emitting device using the high quantum efficiency polymer blend system.

  • In this paper, we describe the results of various calculations performed for a design of the thickness gauges that use the gamma-ray backscattering method. The radiation source is assumed to be the $_{24}$1Am(60keV gamma-ray) and the detector is a single crystal scintillator in a cylindrical form. The source is located at the center of the detector with the collimator of a cylindrical shape. First, when gamma-rays are incident on a material with a constant angle, we compute the variations of the spectrum for the photons scattered into different angular intervals. Next, we compute for an optimal size for the collimator cylinder for a fixed detector size and an optimal distance from the detector to the material. Finally, we compute the number of observed photons for different thickness of two different materials, a plastic film and an Al foil.
