The amount of incident solar rays on inclined surfaces with various directions has been widely utilized as important data in installing solar collector, hot water system, and photovoltaic module, and designing solar buildings and house. This is because the performance of the solar energy applied systems is much affected by angle and direction of incident rays. Recognizing those factors mentioned above are of importance, actual experiment has been peformed in this research to obtain the angle of inclination with which the maximum incident rays can be absorbed. The results obtained in this research could be used in designing optimal solar systems.

This study was conducted to investigate changes of egg characteristics according to feeding of far infrared irradiated rice. The feeding of rice irradiated by far infrared rays did not affect the body weight of laying hens, but egg weight (3.6∼7.6%), yolk weight (3.9∼30.2%) and thickness of egg shell (5.4∼13.5%) together with the rate of laying eggs (5.4%) were positively increased than normal rice.

The amount of incident rays over inclination according to direction has been widely utilized as important data in installing photovoltaic systems. This is because the performance of the photovoltaic systems in much affected by angle and direction of incident rays. Recognizing that factors mentioned above are of importance, actual experiment on the moving route of the sun have been performed in this research to obtain the angle of inclination with which the maximum incident rays can be absorbed. After all, the standard for designing highly optimized photovoltaic systems will be provided for designers and employees working in the photovoltaic module related industries.

We studied the degradation of EVA for the protection of solar cell by UV-rays irradiation. We investigated the reduction of electrical efficiency, photo transmmitance and degradation of EVA by UV-rays irradiation. We utilized the UV irradiation equiped with fluorescent 313nm UV lamp and radiated for 400 hours. For the chemial analysis, we used the UV-vis spectrometer, XPS and examined the degradation mechanism by UV irradiation. It is found that the discolored phenomena, the decrease of photo transmmitance and oxidation reaction is occured by UV irradiation on the EVA sample for the protection of solar cell.

Ultra-high energy cosmic rays(UHECRs) refer cosmic rays with energy above 1018eV. UHECR experiments have employed air shower simulations to quantify the properties of cosmic rays. Using COSMOS and CORSIKA, we have produced a library of over 15000 thinned extensive air shower(EAS) simulations with the primary energies ranging from 1018.5eV to 1020eV and the zenith angle of primary cosmic ray particles from 0 to 45 for proton and iron primaries. We have compared the results from CORSIKA and COSMOS. The comparison has shown perceptible differences in the ground distributions, longitudinal distributions, Calorimetric energy, and Xmax distributions. We have also measured the detector response evaluated using GEANT4 simulations. Here, we discuss S(800), i.e. the signal at a distance of 800 m from the shower core, as the primary energy estimator and present the lateral distribution function(LDF) with S(800).

The relief of pain by laser therapy in useful in the treatment of ulcers burn, tenosynovitis, tendinitis, bursitis, neuritis, rheumatism, chilblains, herpes, zoster. The degenerative cells probiferate to replace by the active vigorous cells by laser rays and suppressed the growth of cell in pathological lesion or condition laser rays promote healing by stimulating growth of celt or tissue The purpose of this study was to introduce about the principles of therapeutic laser ray, characteristics, indication, contraindication, technique, therapeutic effect or clinical effect throughout refference books. The author believe that therapeutic laser rays will contribute grently toward over coming the difficulties of physical therapy.

Application of X-ray irradiation of dried condiments was studied using commercially prepared dried garlic, onion and welsh onion flakes as model samples. Total load of aerobic microbes (TAM), color differences, and generation of off-flavor were quantified for samples individually irradiated with gamma rays, electrons, or X-rays. TAM load was decreased by irradiation in a dose-dependent manner. The three types of radiation did not differ in the extent of TAM reduction (P>0.05). The samples did not differ in color. Off-flavor was detected from 6 kGy-irradiated samples, regardless of radiation sources. The results indicated that X-ray irradiation could be used for irradiation of dried condiments with the same effects as gamma rays and an electron beam.

This study examined the effectiveness degree of a protective apron that is taken not to be exposed to the first ray or scattered rays, for X-ray of thick subject like lateral lumbar, and the results are as follows; First, spatial dose by scattered rays is shielded by 3 mmPb protective apron, 86.8% at a distance of 50 cm, 92.7% at 100 cm, and 95.6% at 200 cm, when minimizing the field size, while 89% at a distance of 50 cm, 92.3% at 100 cm, and 95.2% at 200 cm, when maximizing the field size. Second, 1st exposure dose is shielded by 3 mmPb protective apron, 93.7% at a distance of 50 cm, 94.4% at 100 cm, and 93.6% at 200 cm, when minimizing the field size, while 93.7% at a distance of 50 cm, 93.6% at 100 cm, and 94.2% at 200 cm, when maximizing the field size.

The characteristic X-rays emitted from materials after gamma ray exposure was simulated and measured. A CdTe semiconductor detector and a $^{57}Co$ radiation source were used for energy spectroscopy. The types of materials could be identified by comparing the measured energy spectrum with the theoretical X-ray transition energy of the material. The sample composition was represented by the $K_{\alpha1}$-line (Siegbahn notations), which has the highest intensity among the characteristic X-rays of each atom. The difference between the theoretic prediction and the experimental result of K-line measurement was < 0.61% even if the characteristic X-rays from several materials were measured simultaneously. 2D images of the mixed materials were acquired with very high selectivity.

Ionizing radiation is one of the efficient non-thermal pasteurization methods. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allows the use of ionizing radiation to a dose up to 10 kGy for controlling foodborne pathogens and extending the self-life of foods. Recently X-rays, generated on absorption of high energy electrons in an appropriate metal target, have been used commercially for sterilization purposes. X-rays have the advantages of higher penetration power than E-beams and absence of harmful radioactive sources, such as Cobalt-60 or Cesium-137 associated with gamma-rays. That is why it has continued to receive attention as an attractive alternative to gamma-ray or E-beam irradiation. In this article, the potential of X-ray irradiation for controlling foodborne pathogens in various food products and necessary pre-requisite knowledge for the introduction of X-ray irradiation to the Korean food industry will be provided.
