In order to understand the mechanism of cementation of soft soils treated with bacteria, three types of specimens(untreated, normal bacteria concentration treated, and high bacteria concentration treated) were made. Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM), EDX and X-ray diffraction(XRD) analyses were performed on the soft silt and loose sand specimens. Compared with the untreated specimen, a clearer cementation between particles was observed in the high bacteria concentration treated specimen. Based on the scanning electron microscope(SEM) EDX analyses, more calcium carbonate was observed in the specimen treated with high bacteria concentration than other specimens. On the basis of the preliminary results, it appears that microbial cementation can occur in the soft soil. Further study on the cementation of soils using bacteria is necessary to validate this result.

강한 레이저 펄스에 의해 만들어진 플라즈마를 사용하여 연엑스선(soft X-ray, 10-300 $\AA$) 광원을 얻으려는 노력은 주로 고체나 기체 표적에 대한 것이었다. 최근에 이르러 기체의 단열 팽창에서 생기는 원자 송이(atomic cluster)를 표적으로 하는 연구 결과들이 발표되었다. $^{(1).(2)}$ 원자 송이는 국소적으로는 고체에 가까운 밀도를 가지고 있어서 효율적으로 레이저 에너지를 흡수하는 반면, 전체적으로는 기체 상태에 있기 때문에 파편이 적고, 기체의 압력과 온도를 변화시킴으로써 송이의 크기를 조절할 수 있다.

최근 포항가속기연구소 10A 빔라인에 Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscopy (STXM)가 완성되어 운영 중이다. Soft x-ray imaging 장치로서 기술적으로 Sample scanning 기법이 활용된다. 이는 Zone plate를 통해 집속된 빔이 샘플에 조사되고 검출되는 방식이다. 이러한 Scanning 기법을 활용하고 있는 10A STXM은 기본적으로 흡수분광기법 (x-ray absorption spectroscopy)을 이용하고 있다. 특히, 10A 빔라인 STXM은 최고 20 nm까지 공간분해능이 가능하다는 장점이 있다. 따라서 수십에서 수백 나노미터 크기의 시료들 또는 나노구조에 대한 물리화학적 상태 분석이 쉽게 이루어지고 있다. 주로 시료를 투과하면서 흡수되는 X-선 세기 대비를 맵핑하는 형식의 이미지 데이터와 더불어 X-선의 에너지를 조정함으로써 각 에너지에 해당하는 이미지스택을 결과로 얻게 된다. 이러한 이미지 결과로부터 시료의 나노크기에서 오는 물리화학적 상태를 분석하고 물리에서 바이오까지 다양한 분야의 실험 활용이 가능한 상태다.

The purpose of this research is to analyze the radiation shielding effect of soft magnetic material to confirm the applicability to the military facilities. The soft magnetic material is known to be effective in shielding EMP. If this material is also effective in radiation shielding, it is expected that it has a lot of applicability in military protection. In particular, this material contains boron, so it will be effective in shielding neutrons. In this research, experiments were conducted using Cs-137 and Co-60 sources to check the gamma ray shielding effect. In addition, the Monte Carlo N-Particle(MCNP) modeling was applied to evaluate the gamma ray and neutron shielding effect of a military command tent. As a result, as the soft magnetic thickness increased, the shielding performance improved according the linear attenuation law of gamma ray and neutron. Therefore, this research verified that the application of soft magnetic material for military purposes in radiation shielding would be effective.

The characteristics of soft clays is very important for the land development plan. This study is to investigate correlations between the engineering properties and the characteristics of clay minerals of the disturbed clay samples obtained from Sihwa area. This study included X-Ray Diffraction Analysis, X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometer Analysis, Scanning Electron Microscopy Analysis and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectrometer Analysis. The correlations between the clay mineral properties and the laboratory and field testing results were investigated.

Laser plasma was generated by a 1GW iodine photodissociation laser ($\lambda$=1.315$\mu\textrm{m}$, E=12.7J) whose output beam was focused on a molybdenum target surface. The experiment was conducted in a vacuum chamber under 1D-sTorr and several tens of laser shooting were necessary for sufficient exposure for the PBS resist of 111m thickness. Aluminium was coated on the top of the resist by 0.1$\mu\textrm{m}$ thickness which acts as an X-ray filter to cut off the visible and the ultraviolet lights. A bio-specimen was put directly on the aluminium coated resist and located at a distance of 3 cm from the X-ray source. The replicas of a steel mesh, spider's web. and a red blood cell were obtained by this technique and were observed by Nomarski microscope and SEM. The limitation of its resolution is determined by the X-ray source size and Fresnel diffraction effect, and its theoretical prediction is well matched with the experimental results. In this experiment, a resolution better than 0.1$\mu\textrm{m}$ could be obtained. ained.

In display and semi-conductor manufacturing process, there are numerous unstable factors such as particle concentration, minimal vibration, changes in magnetic field, or electrostatic that becomes an issue to be managed and controlled. In the recent, X-ray ionization is widely used that is neutralized by separating air or gas molecules in the area where the static must be resolved. The mono-type of X-ray ionizer was not capable to be used in $8^{th}$ generation panels manufacturing plant due to its insufficient ionizing coverage since the panel itself is approximately in $2m{\times}3m$. To resolve the current problem, the development of new type called, "Multi-type X-ray ionizer" has resulted in covering enough ionizing space in $8^{th}$ generation panels industry. Comparing mono and multi types with MCNPX code simulation, the multi one indicates more X-ray flux, efficiency, and ionization performance in comparison with either a mono-type or multi-type in array format. In addition, the ionizing efficiency of overlapping area with multi-type showed 30% higher effectiveness rate as to the ordinary mono-type.

Annual ring characteristics of pinus thunbergii grown in several air-polluted areas were investigated by soft X-ray densitometry. Ring width, maximum density and relative difference between maximum and minimum density(abbreviated to DD) were generally decreased after the beginning of operation of the factories at the vicinity of the pollution sources. Especially at the nearest areas of the industrial complex, those were distinctly decreased, and the changes, either increases or decreases, in percentage of latewood and minimum density could not be explained by the air pollution dosages. Ring width, maximum density and DD were being more apparently decreased after 5 years than those for 5 years after the beginning of operation, and also the rate of decrease was increased from after 5 years after the beginning of operation, and the rate of decrease of ring width was the highest of all. It was inferred that ring width, maximum density and DD of Pinus thunbergii could be used as indicators to detect the growth damage by air pollution.
