Neutron spectrum is essential to the safe operation of reactors. Traditional online neutron spectrum measurement methods still have room to improve accuracy for the application cases of wide energy range. From the application of artificial neural network (ANN) algorithm in spectrum unfolding, its accuracy is difficult to be improved for lacking of enough effective training data. In this paper, an adaptive deviation-resistant neutron spectrum unfolding method based on transfer learning was developed. The model of ANN was trained with thousands of neutron spectra generated with Monte Carlo transport calculation to construct a coarse-grained unfolded spectrum. In order to improve the accuracy of the unfolded spectrum, results of the previous ANN model combined with some specific eigenvalues of the current system were put into the dataset for training the deeper ANN model, and fine-grained unfolded spectrum could be achieved through the deeper ANN model. The method could realize accurate spectrum unfolding while maintaining universality, combined with detectors covering wide energy range, it could improve the accuracy of spectrum measurement methods for wide energy range. This method was verified with a fast neutron reactor BN-600. The mean square error (MSE), average relative deviation (ARD) and spectrum quality (Qs) were selected to evaluate the final results and they all demonstrated that the developed method was much more precise than traditional spectrum unfolding methods.

NaI 스펙트럼으로부터 조사선량을 계산하는 에너지대 방법은 $1300{\sim}3000keV$ 영역의 에너지 스펙트럼을 사용하여 조사선량을 계산하기 때문에 자연방사선만의 조사선량이 계산되어지지만, 총에너지 방법은 $150{\sim}3400keV$ 영역의 에너지 스펙트럼을 사용하기 때문에 인공방사선의 조사선량도 포함하여 계산한다. 따라서 총에너지 방법에 의한 조사선량과 에너지대 방법에 의한 조사선량의 차이는 인공방사선에 의한 조사선량이 될 것이다. 본 연구에서는 인공방사선이 없는 지역에서 단지 기상요인에 의해서 조사선량 변동이 심한 기간동안 NaI 검출기로 스펙트럼을 측정하였다. 이와 같이 측정한 스펙트럼에 대해서 두 방법으로 계산한 조사선량률들은 통계적 변동 ${\pm}0.3{\mu}R\;h^{-1}$ 이내에서 잘 일치하였다. 결과적으로 두 방법에 의해 계산된 조사선량값이 차이가 있다면 그것은 인공방사선에 의한 조사선량으로 해석할 수 있을 것이다.

본 논문은 IEC 61267에서 제시하는 RQA3, 5, 7, 9의 선질 조건과 임상검사 조건을 조합한 선질들을 사용하여 공간분해능과 선예도를 평가하고 선질들의 스펙트럼을 분석하고자 하였다. 실험방법으로 첫째, 부가필터와 SID에 따른 공간해상력 평가에 사용된 영상은 IEC 62220-1 에 제시된 edge method을 이용하여, 영상을 획득하였으며 Matlab 프로그램을 사용하여 영상에 대한 해상력 평가는 MTF 측정값 10%(0.1)에서, 선예도 평가는 MTF 측정값 50%(0.5)에서 평가하였다. 둘째, MCNPX 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 선질들의 입자플루언스율과 에너지대별 스펙트럼 분석을 하였다. 실험결과 부가필터 사용과 SID에 따른 영상품질평가에서는 RQA3 선질 조합조건에서 공간분해능과 선예도는 부가필터 미사용과 SID 100 cm에서 높게 나타났다. RQA5 선질 조합조건에서 공간분해능과 선예도는 부가필터를 사용하고 SID 100 cm에서 높게 나타났다. RQA7 선질 조합조건에서 공간분해능은 부가필터 미사용과 SID 150 cm에서 높게 나타났다. 선예도는 부가필터를 사용하고 SID 150 cm에서 높게 나타났다. RQA9 선질 조합조건에서는 공간분해능과 선예도는 부가필터 사용하고 SID 180 cm에서 높게 나타났다. 선질들의 스펙트럼 분석은 X선관의 재현성에 따른 오차, 검출기의 보정에 따른 오차 등 실험에서 발생하는 필연적인 오차를 줄여 가장 이상적인 조건을 제공하는 MCNPX 시뮬레이션을 통해 스펙트럼을 분석하였다. 결론적으로 다양한 선질들에 대한 공간분해능과 선예도 결과를 제시함으로써 임상에서 사용 중인 검출기의 평가에 있어 선질조건과 검사실 환경에 맞는 정량적인 평가방법을 제시할 수 있는 기초자료로 제공하고자 한다.

To investigate the mutational spectrum of laccase (Lac) genes (lac -A and lac -B) involved in degrading lignin which is the recalcitrant cell wall polymer, the genes of the Pleurotus ostreatus mutants induced by gamma ray radiation were amplified by PCR and were cloned. All partial lac-A genes of 4 mutants (PO-6, -7, -14 and -15) consisted of 1763 base pairs due to the deletion of two bases (491-nt and 492-nt) and addition of one base (875-nt) in 1764 base pairs of lac -A gene of PO-1. Totally 36 mutational hot spots were detected and 32 positions were mutated in all of those 4 mutants simultaneously. These mutations were predominantly A : T -> G : C transitions (40%). Putative amino acid sequences of lac -A genes of mutants have one simultaneous mutated residue (from Thr-44 to Ala-44). The 1764 bp of partial lac -B gene was cloned only in PO -5 mutant and contained 19 mutated bases. These mutations were predominantly G : C->A : T transitions (45%). Lac-B protein of PO-5 has two mutated residues of Glu-290 and His-363 from Ala-290 and Phe-363, respectively. The hyper-mutational positions were concentrated in specific regions of between 50-nt and 900-nt in lac genes. These results suggested that the mutational hotspots responded to gamma radiation could be in some genes, at least lac -A and lac -B of p. ostreatus.

The method of measuring and classifying the energy category of neutrons directly using raw data acquired through a CZT detector is not satisfactory, in terms of accuracy and efficiency, because of its poor energy resolution and low measurement efficiency. Moreover, this method of measuring and analyzing the characteristics of low-energy or low-activity gamma-ray sources might be not accurate and efficient in the case of neutrons because of various factors, such as the noise of the CZT detector itself and the influence of environmental radiation. We have therefore developed an efficient method of analyzing radiation characteristics using a neutron and gamma-ray analysis algorithm for the rapid and clear identification of the type, energy, and radioactivity of gamma-ray sources as well as the detection and classification of the energy category (fast or thermal neutrons) of neutron sources, employing raw data acquired through a CZT detector. The neutron analysis algorithm is based on the fact that in the energy-spectrum channel of 558.6 keV emitted in the nuclear reaction ¹¹³Cd + ¹n → ¹¹⁴Cd + in the CZT detector, there is a notable difference in detection information between a CZT detector without a PE modulator and a CZT detector with a PE modulator, but there is no significant difference between the two detectors in other energy-spectrum channels. In addition, the gamma-ray analysis algorithm uses the difference in the detection information of the CZT detector between the unique characteristic energy-spectrum channel of a gamma-ray source and other channels. This efficient method of analyzing radiation characteristics is expected to be useful for the rapid radiation detection and accurate information collection on radiation sources, which are required to minimize radiation damage and manage accidents in national disaster situations, such as large-scale radioactivity leak accidents at nuclear power plants or nuclear material handling facilities.

This paper presents theoretical and experimental analysis on the characteristics of the power spectrum of electormagnetic waves radiating from the spark plug and their cables of a distributorless ignition system. The theoretical study was conducted applying the microwave transmission line theory and the antenna theory. The experimental works were carried out to measure the standing wave ratio(SWR) and the radiation power spectrum of this system. As a result, it has been found that a spark plug and its cable is working as a monopole antenna radiating elelctromagnetic waves. Because of its similar structure to a monopole antenna, the envelope of radiation power spectrum distribution has a bell shape which can be obtained from a monopole antenna operating as a series resonant circuit. The frequency characteristics from the SWR measurements show a similar frequency characteristics of power spectrum of the system studied. Also, it has been found that the density of the power spectrum of the system fitting a long time used spark plug is higher than that of fitting a new spark plug.

The mutational spectra in the manganese (II) peroxidase gene (mnp) of the Pleurotus ostreatus mutants induced by gamma radiation (Co$\^$60/) give evidence to prove the effect of gamma radiation on the gene. mnp of each mutant was cloned, sequenced and analyzed. Among the 1941 base pairs of the sequenced region of the mnP genes of 4 mutants (PO-5,-6,-15 and -16), nine mutational hotspots on which the same base was mutated simultaneously were found, additionally 6 mutations were also found at different positions in the mnp gene. These mutation-spectra were predominantly A:T\longrightarrowG:C transitions (50.1%). By the analysis of putative amino acid sequences, PO-5 and PO-16 mutants have 3 and 1 mutated residues, respectively. Since the mutational spectra reported herein are specific to the mnp gene, we propose that the mutational hotspots for the gamma radiation could be in the gene(5) within cells.
