In order to evaluate the earthquake safety of equipment in structures, it is essential to analyze the In-Structure Response Spectrum (ISRS). The ISRS has a peak value at the frequency corresponding to the structural vibration mode, but the frequency and amplitude at the peak can vary because of many uncertain parameters. There are several seismic design criteria for ISRS peak-broadening for fixed base structures. However, there are no suggested criteria for constructing the design ISRS of seismically isolated structures. The ISRS of isolated structures may change due to the major uncertainty parameter of the isolator, which is the shear stiffness of the isolator and the several uncertainty parameters caused by the nonlinear behavior of isolators. This study evaluated the effects on the ISRS due to the initial stiffness of the bi-linear curve of isolators and the variation of effective stiffness by the input ground motion intensity and intense motion duration. Analyzing a simplified structural model for isolated base structure confirmed that the ISRS at the frequency of structural mode was amplified and shifted. It was found that the uncertainty of the initial stiffness of isolators significantly affects the shape of ISRS. The variation caused by the intensity and duration of input ground motions was also evaluated. These results suggested several considerations for generating ISRS for seismically isolated structures.

Lysozyme was covalentyl conjugated with galactomannan through a amino-carbonyl reaction between the lysine $\varepsilon$-amino groups of lysozyme and the reducing ends of galactomannan at a relative humidity of 79% and 6$0^{\circ}C$. The resulting lysozyme-galactomannan conjugate (LGC) was investigated for its antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli. Lysozyme alone did not exhibit antibacterial activity against E. coli. in contrast , significant bactericidal effect was observed for LGC, depending on the reaction temperature. The degree of conjugation between lysozyme and galactomannan was dependent on the incubation time, which affected the antibacterial efficiency against E. coli. This study demonstrated that the amino-carbonyl reaction between lysozyme and galactomannan could be a potential tool to modify lysozyme toward broadening its antibacterial spectrum to Gram-negative bacteria.

Annexin I is a member of the in family of calcium dependent phospholipid banding proteins and is an in vitro phospholipase $A_2$ (PLA$_2$) inhibitor. The mechanism of PLA$_2$ inhibition by annexin I is still ambiguous. The structure of annexin I was studied at the atomic level by using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), circular dichrotsm (CD) and fluorescence spectroscopy. Recombinant human annexin I and N-terminally truncated annexin I (1-31 deleted: d-annexin I) were purified and their NMR spectra were compared. The NMR spectra of the two were similar. When $Ca^{2+}$ ion added to annexin I ad d-annexin I, peak broadening occurred, but no significant spectroscopic change was observed. When porcine pancreatic PLA$_2$ was added to deuterium labeled annexin I, an interaction of annexin I with PLA$_2$ was observed as indicated by the disappearance and shift of several peaks in the NMR spectrum. This result supports a protein-protein interaction mechanism for PLA$_2$ inhibition by annexin I.I.

The formation of cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) film reflecting a broadbanded visible spectrum by application of a liquid crystalline coating followed by UV polymerization (photo-curing) is described. Also, the formation of patterned coatings obtained by a sequence of UV exposure steps is discussed. Such coatings play an important role in the improvement of the performance of liquid crystal displays. In order to make these CLC films, we synthesized new cholesteric liquid crystal molecules (Ch-chol) containing the active reaction site to UV light and investigated to broaden the bandwidth of these cholesteric filters based on the various UV treatments.

$CeO_2$ nanorings were synthesized by using a surfactant free hydrothermal method. The surface morphology, structural and optical properties of the synthesized $CeO_2$ was investigated by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and ultraviolet-visible (UV) spectroscopy measurements. SEM images showed that the surface morphology of the formed $CeO_2$ appeared as nanorings. The XRD pattern of $CeO_2$ nanorings showed the presence of the polycrystalline $CeO_2$ phase readily indexed to the cubic fluorite structure of the $CeO_2$. The mean crystallite size of the $CeO_2$ was calculated using the Scherrer equation from the XRD line broadening of the (111) planes of the cubic $CeO_2$. The UV-Visible spectroscopy spectrum of the $CeO_2$ nanorings exhibited a strong UV absorption band around 350 nm.

The peculiar elliptical (EOp) galaxy NGC 4486 and two KOII comparison stars HR5450, HR6935 were observed spectroscopically using the 74-inch telescope and Image Tube at Mt. Stomlo Observatory. From the Gaussian Broadening Function, broadened spectrum of two comparison stars were computed for the range between wavelength 4800$\AA$ and 5400$\AA$. Velocity dispersions in the line of sight of M87 were obtained by visual fitting. The fitted velocity dispersion is 450 km/sec at the nucleus, 350km/sec at r=12", and 300km/sec at r=24". Using the photometric data and the central value of velocity dispersion, we determined the mass of M87. From <$r^{2/4}$ law and the Virial theorem the calculated total mass in $2.1\times10^{12}M_\odot$ and from the King Model $M=1.2\times10^{12}M_\odot$. And M/L ratio of M87 is about 30.

Membrane proteins play a essential role in the biological systems and it is not easy to handle a membrane protein for its structural study. Solid-state NMR (ssNMR) can be a good tool to investigate the structures and dynamics of membrane proteins. In ssNMR, Magic Angle Spinning (MAS) and Cross Polarization (CP) can be utilized to reduce the line-broadening, leading to high resolution and sensitivity in the spectrum. ssNMR, if combined with other spectroscopic methods, can provide us a enough knowledge on structures and dynamics of membrane proteins in biological condition.

For prompt gamma ray imaging for biomedical applications and environmental radiation monitoring, we propose herein a multiple-scattering Compton camera (MSCC). MSCC consists of three or more semiconductor layers with good energy resolution, and has potential for simultaneous detection and differentiation of multiple radio-isotopes based on the measured energies, as well as three-dimensional (3D) imaging of the radio-isotope distribution. In this study, we developed an analytic simulator and a 3D image generator for a MSCC, including the physical models of the radiation source emission and detection processes that can be utilized for geometry and performance prediction prior to the construction of a real system. The analytic simulator for a MSCC records coincidence detections of successive interactions in multiple detector layers. In the successive interaction processes, the emission direction of the incident gamma ray, the scattering angle, and the changed traveling path after the Compton scattering interaction in each detector, were determined by a conical surface uniform random number generator (RNG), and by a Klein-Nishina RNG. The 3D image generator has two functions: the recovery of the initial source energy spectrum and the 3D spatial distribution of the source. We evaluated the analytic simulator and image generator with two different energetic point radiation sources (Cs-137 and Co-60) and with an MSCC comprising three detector layers. The recovered initial energies of the incident radiations were well differentiated from the generated MSCC events. Correspondingly, we could obtain a multi-tracer image that combined the two differentiated images. The developed analytic simulator in this study emulated the randomness of the detection process of a multiple-scattering Compton camera, including the inherent degradation factors of the detectors, such as the limited spatial and energy resolutions. The Doppler-broadening effect owing to the momentum distribution of electrons in Compton scattering was not considered in the detection process because most interested isotopes for biomedical and environmental applications have high energies that are less sensitive to Doppler broadening. The analytic simulator and image generator for MSCC can be utilized to determine the optimal geometrical parameters, such as the distances between detectors and detector size, thus affecting the imaging performance of the Compton camera prior to the development of a real system.

테트라히드로퓨란(THF)-물 혼합용매에서 용매화된 전자($e^-_s$)를 생성시켜 광흡수스펙트럼의 성질을 연구하였다. 본 연구에서 $e^-_s$는 nsec Q 스위치 Nd(YAG) 레이저 에너지 (265nm)를 이용한 광분해법으로 생성시켰다. 이 방법은 실험부분에서 도면으로 간단하게 기술되어 있다. 측정한 $e^-_s$의 최대흡수 파장은 THF의 함량과 온도에 따라 장파장쪽으로 이동하였고, 흡수스펙트럼의 폭 역시 THF에 따라 증가하였다. $e^-_s$의 반감기 또한 THF의 몰%에 따라 증가하였다. 혼합용매에서 최대 흡수파장은 순수한 물이나 THF에서 방사선 분해법을 측정한 흡수파장의 중간에서 모두 발견되었다. 이러한 실험 결과로부터 $e^-_s$의 체적과 최대흡수에너지 관계를 논의할 수 있었다.

저속 에너지 도플러 넓어짐 양전자 소멸 분광법으로 $Nb_3Ge$ 시료내의 원자 크기 정도 고체 구조 특성에 대하여 조사하였다. A15 화합물 구조로 된 $Nb_3Ge$ 시료를 상온에서 초전도 특성을 갖는 상전이 온도 근처의 S-변수를 측정하였다. 양전자와 전자의 쌍소멸로 발생하는 511 keV 감마선 스펙트럼의 수리적 해석 방법인 S-변수를 사용하여, 상전이 근처 온도에서 박막의 구조 변화를 측정하였다. 양전자의 입사 에너지에 따른 S-변수는 0.598에서 0.594로 온도의 변화에 의하여 감소하였으며 이때 초전도 전이와는 무관함을 나타낸다. 고온으로 갈수록 일반적인 트랩핑 비율은 커지고 양전자 흐름은 공공(voids) 근처에서 소멸하는 것이 보였다. 이 결과로부터 양전자가 초전자와 소멸하기 보다는 상전자와 소멸하는 것으로 판단된다.
