The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of sensing changes in a tumor during boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) using a Monte Carlo simulation tool. In the simulation, an epi-thermal neutron source and a water phantom including boron uptake regions (BURs) were simulated. Moreover, this simulation also included a detector for positron emission tomography (PET) scanning and an adaptively-designed collimator (ADC) for PET. After the PET scanning of the water phantom, including the 511 keV source in the BUR, the ADC was positioned in the PET's gantry. Single prompt gamma rays were collected through the ADC during neutron irradiation. Then, single prompt gamma ray-based tomography images of different sized tumors were acquired by a four-step process. Both the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and tumor size were analyzed from each step image. From this analysis, we identified a decreasing trend of both the SNR and signal intensity as the tumor size decreased, which was confirmed in all images. In conclusion, we confirmed the feasibility of sensing changes in a tumor during BNCT using PET and an ADC through Monte Carlo simulation.

본 논문에서는 광섬유 브래그 격자 센서를 이용하여 4종류의 단일모드 광섬유에 대한 감마선 조사에 따른 전송손실을 측정하였다. 시험에 사용된 방사선원은 $Co^{60}$ 감마선원으로, 총 2시간동안 0.6 kGy/hr, 1.2 kGy/hr, 2.4 kGy/hr의 선량률로 감마선을 조사하였다. 실험을 통하여 광섬유 종류에 따른 선량률 효과를 확인하였고, 방사선 유입손실 변화를 통한 방사선 민감도를 평가하였다.

본 논문에서는 광민감 광섬유와 일반 단일모드 광섬유로 제작된 광섬유 브래그 격자 센서의 감마방사선 영향을 분석하였다. 제작된 광섬유 브래그 격자 센서는 $Co^{60}$ 감마선원을 이용하여 300 Gy/min의 선량률로 총선량 17.8 kGy 감마선을 조사하였다. 실험결과를 통하여 수소로딩을 하지 않은 광민감 광섬유로 제작된 격자 센서가 가장 낮은 18 pm의 브래그 파장 이동을 보였다.

국내산 천연수정의 열형광발생의 성질을 이용해서 ${\gamma}$선의 선량을 측정할 수 있는 가능한 여러가지 방법을 연구하였다. 가열방법이 정확히 선형적일때는 ${\gamma}$선에 조사된 방사선에 민감한 $\alpha$수정은 단일첨두의 열형광 발생곡선을 나타낼 수 있는고로 이 발생곡선의 첨두의 높이는 $\alpha$수정에 의해서 ${\gamma}$선의 선량을 측정하는 방법에 있어서 ${\gamma}$선의 선량을 나타낸다고 볼 수 있다. 이 수정선량계는 2$\times$$10^3$R에서 2$\times$$10^{6}$R까지의 선량범위내에서 열형광강도의 직선성을 나타내었으며, 또한 발생곡선의 첨두때의 온도(300$\pm$4$0^{\circ}C$)가 높은 고로 열형광의 상온에서의 자연상태가 적다는 장점이 있다. 입자의 크기가 0.3<ø<0.9mm인 분말수정은 50R에서 2$\times$$10^3$R까지의 ${\gamma}$선의 선량범위내에서 열형광강도의 직선성을 나타내었다. 암환자의 신체일부에 조사된 ${\gamma}$선의 급수선량을 정확히 측정해야하는 방사선치료상의 적용에 분말수정시료를 사용해본 시도는 좋은 결과였다고 생각된다.

광기능소자로 응용성이 넓은 전기광학결정 $r－6Bi_2O_3{\cdot}SiO_2$(이하 BSO로 약칭)을 EFG(Edge-defined Film-fed Growth)법에 의하여 판상단결정으로 육성하는 기초적 조건을 조사하고 육성된 판단결정의 characterization 및 평가와 물성측정을 하였다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 최적성장조건은 온도구배가 $24^{\circ}C/cm$, 인상속도는 2.0mm/h이었다. 결정성장 최적조건에서 육성된 BSO결정은 제 2상의 석출이 없고 grain boundary가 존재하지 않으며 X선 분석으로도 단결정임이 확인되었다. 육성된 판상단결정의 판면은 (100)면이었고 결정성장 방위는 <100>이었다. 육성된 판상단결정은 편광현미경하에서는 pore, void, inclusion, striation 등의 성장결함이 없는 양질의 단결정이었으나 미세결함인 전위(dislocation)의 존재가 확인되었고 전위밀도는 $5.1{\times}10^5/\textrm{cm}^2$이었다.

The efficiencies of single escape and double escape peaks were calculated by using Monte Carlo method and compared with measured efficiencies. The efficiency was obtained from the area ratio of escape peak to full energy absorption peak and the full energy absorption peak efficiency. For the escape peak interfered with other $\gamma-ray$ peaks, the net area was obtained by area correction. The GEANT code developed in CERN was used for the Monte Carlo calculation. The calculated efficiencies of the escape peaks agreed with the measurement within $12\%$.

In this paper we report the influence of rubbing direction and electrode distance to the voltage dependent transmittance in in-plane switching (IPS) mode. Moreover, we applied this to a transflective IPS cell to realize a single gamma characteristics both in the transmissive part and the reflective part..

This study investigated the initial mass function (IMF) and star formation history of high-mass stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) using a population synthesis technique. We used the photometric survey catalog of Lee (2013) as the observable quantities and compare them with those of synthetic populations based on Bayesian inference. For the IMF slope (${\Gamma}$) range of -1.1 to -3.5 with steps of 0.1, five types of star formation models were tested: 1) continuous; 2) single burst at 10 Myr; 3) single burst at 60 Myr; 4) double bursts at those epochs; and 5) a complex hybrid model. In this study, a total of 125 models were tested. Based on the model calculations, it was found that the continuous model could simulate the high-mass stars of the SMC and that its IMF slope was -1.6 which is slightly steeper than Salpeter's IMF, i.e., ${\Gamma}=-1.35$.

Effects of propargylglycine (PPG) treatment on the hepatic glutathione (GSH) synthesis were examined in adult male ICR mice. Administration of PPG (200 mole/kg, ip) to mice resulted in a complete inhibition of the hepatic cystathionine ${\gamma}$ -lyase (C ${\gamma}$ L) activity measured in cytosol fraction for 40 hr after the treatment. A single injection of PPG rapidly reduced the hepatic GSH levels, which appeared to be sustained at least for 40 hr.(omitted)

It was the purpose of this study to investigate the fracture mode of dental amalgam by observing the crack propagation, and to relate this to the microstructure of the amalgam. Caulk 20th Century Regular, Caulk Spherical, Dispersalloy, and Tytin amalgam alloys were used for this study. After each amalgam alloy and Hg measured exactly by the balance was triturated by the mechanical amalgamator (Capmaster, S.S. White), the triturated mass was inserted into the cylindrical metal mold which was 4 mm in diameter and 12 mm in height and was pressed by the Instron Universal Testing Machine at the speed of 1mm/min with 120Kg. The specimen removed from the mold was stored in the room temperature for a week. This specimen was polished with the emery papers from #100 to #200 and finally on the polishing cloth with 0.06${\mu}Al_2O_3$ powder suspended in water. The specimen was placed on the Instron testing machine in the method similar to the diametral tensile test and loaded at the crosshead speed of 0.05mm/min. The load was stopped short of fracture. The cracks on the polished surface of specimen was examined with scanning electron microscope (JSM-35) and analyzed by EPMA (Electron probe microanalyzer). The following results were obtained. 1. In low copper lathe-cut amalgam, the crack went through the voids and ${\gamma}_2$ phase, through the ${\gamma}_1$ phase around the ${\gamma}$ particles. 2. In low copper spherical amalgam, it was observed that the crack passed through the ${\gamma}_2$ and ${\gamma}_1$ phase, and through the boundary between the ${\gamma}_1$ and ${\gamma}$ phase. 3. In high copper dispersant (Dispersalloy) amalgam, the crack was found to propagate at the interface between the ${\gamma}_1$ matrix and reaction ring around the dispersant (Ag-Cu) particles, and to pass through the Ag-Sn particles. 4. In high copper single composition (Tytin) amalgam, the crack went through the ${\gamma}_1$ matrix between ${\eta}$ crystals, and through the unreacted alloy particle (core).
