  • Since UV-B radiation measuring networks have not been established, numerical models which calculate the flux from other readily available meteorological measurements may play an important role. That is, such a problem can be solved by using parameterization models such as two stream approximation, the delta-Eddington method, doubling method, and discrete ordinate method. However, most UV-B radiative transfer models have not been validated with measurements, because such models are not intended as practical computational schemes for providing surface estimates of UV-B radiation. The main concern so far has been to demonstrate model sensitivity for cloudless skies. In particular, few have been concerned with real cloud information. Clouds and aerosols have generally been incorporated as constituents of particular atmospheric layers with specified optical depths and scattering properties. The parameterization model presented here is a combination of a detailed radiative transfer algorithm for a coludless sky radiative process and a more approximate scheme to handle cloud effects. The model input data requires a daily measurement of the total ozone amount plus a daily record of the amount and type of cloud in the atmosphere. Measurements for an examination of the models at the Department of Atmospheric Sciences, Pusan National University have been takenfrom February, 1995. These models can be used to calculate present and future fluxes where measurements have not been taken, and construct climatologies for the period before ozone depletion began.

  • TTD1BI cells are non-hypersensitive to UV irradiation and perform normal genome repair of pyrimidine dimers but fail to excise 6-4 photoproducts and, concomitantly, are unable to restore RNA synthesis levels following UV irradiation. This pointed to a detect in gene-specific repair and this study was undertaken to examine repair of 6-4 photoproducts at the gene-level. The results indicated a defect in gene-specific repair of 6-4 photoproducts in active genes, although strand-specificity of 6-4 photoproduct removal was essentially similar to that of normal cells. These findings indicate that the near normal UV resistance of TTD1BI cells may be due to the inability of these cells to remove DNA lesions preferentially, as well as to the cells opting out of the cell cycle to repair damage before resuming replication.

  • Polymeric composite insulators have been in use for outdoor insulation. However, our knowledge about their long-term performance in a outdoor environment is still very limited. Especially, these insulator are subjected to the environmental stress such as ultraviolet radiation. Hence, in this paper. the influence of UV radiation on the aging of the shed materials was evaluated. For the aging evaluation, these insulators studied by experiment methods such as contact angle measurement. oxidation induced time. SEM/EDX, FTRI-ATR, tracking test for the different insulator samples. With the increased UV exposure time, samples are shown to exhibit degradation comparable to those of new ones

  • In this study we investigated the acting characteristics of Polymers for electrical insulation by UV radiation and salt water spray treatment. We used the Polymers such as EPDM, SR. PTFE. EVA. We measured contact angle and surface resistance to know the aging characteristic of Polymer surface. And we use SEM to observe the change of the surface shape. Dry flashover voltage test impulse voltage test were carried for the polymer insulator(EVA) . Through this experiment and the analysis we could know the polymers have a good resistance to weathering conditions like as salt spray UV irradiation and mix of them. And we can compare the aging characteristics between Polymers. As a result, we could know that the surface characteristics of PTFE is better than the other. And the degree, electrical characteristics is affected by change of surface shape is not big.

  • This study was conducted to investigate the sensitivity of Arthrobacter sp. PAMC 25486 to various mutagens. ${\gamma}-ray$, UV-ray, Ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS) and hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) were used as mutagen, and the survival rate of Arthrobacter sp. was measured at various doses of ${\gamma}-ray$ and UV-ray, and concentrations of EMS and $H_2O_2$. Decimal reduction dose ($D_{10}$ value) of Arthrobacter sp. was determined 370 Gy for a gamma irradiation treatment, 0.019 J for a UV ray, 2.5 mM for EMS, and 230 mM for $H_2O_2$. This result will be applied for the development of superior mutant strain of Arctic bacteria producing valuable compounds.

  • 자외선에 의한 만성 피부손상에 대한 누에동충하초($Paecilomyces$ $japonica$)추출물(PJE)의 방어효과를 피부주름 및 암발생을 지표로 관찰하였다. 자외선 단독 조사마우스에서 피부노화의 지표인 피부주름이 형성되었으며, PJE투여에 따라 주름등급은 낮게 나타났다. 실험 22주에 자외선 단독조사군에서 부형제 복강내주사군은 88.9%, 연고기재 피부도포군에서는 44.4%의 동물에서 1개 이상의 피부암이 발생되었다. PJE 복강내 주사의 경우 암발생 개시시간이 지연되었으며, 발생율은 PJE 복강내 주사군 및 피부도포군에서 공히 감소하였고, PJE 복강내 주사군의 경우 마리당 발생암의 수도 감소하였다. 실험 22주에 PJE 복강내 주사군에서는 80.0%, 피부도포군에서는 75.0%의 동물에서 암은 발생되지 않았다. 결론적으로 자외선 만성 노출에 의해 피부의 광노화 및 광발암이 나타났고 PJE에 의해 피부만성 손상이 완화됨을 알 수 있었다.

  • 서리태콩 (Glycine max Merr. var Seoritae)에서 광원에 따른 엽의 광합성 변화를 구명하기 위하여 콩의 제 1복엽이 완전 전개되었을 때 3일 동안 빛을 차단한 후 UV-B 와 일반광에 노출시켜 색소 함량과 엽록소 형광반응의 변화를 측정하였다. 암처리에서 엽록소 함량은 감소하고, 일반 광에서 회복하였다. 카로티노이드와 안토시아닌 함량은 UV-B 조사한 처리구에서 증가하였다. 엽록소 형광분석을 이용한 광합성 능률을 분석한 결과, 암처리가 진행 됨에 따라 Fv/Fm, F'v/F'm, ${\Phi}_{PSII}$ 및 NPQ는 감소하였다. 모든 변수들은 일반광에 노출되면서 회복하였으나 UV 처리한 것은 암처리 72시간의 수치와 큰 변화가 없었다. 이를 통하여 암처리 48시간 경과함으로 엽록체가 에티오플라스트로 전환되며, 일반광을 조사하였을 시 광합성 관련 광계가 복구되지만, UV-B의 강한 광이 조사되었을 때 광계가 회복되지 못하는 것으로 사료되었다.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate a relationship between ultraviolet radiation and initial cell density (ICD) of microalgae using a floating marine photobioreactor (PBR). To examine the effect of ultraviolet (UV) radiation in sunlight on biomass productivity as a function of ICD, 0.5-L floating PBRs covered with or without UV cut-off film were placed in an outdoor rectangular tank containing 200 L of water. At the lower ICDs, 0.01 and 0.05 g/L, biomass productivities in the PBRs without UV cut-off film decreased by $278{\pm}21%$ and $222{\pm}3%$ compared with those with the film, respectively. In contrast, the presence of UV cut-off film did not have a significant effect on biomass productivities at the higher ICDs, 0.25 and 1.25 g/L. When the differences in biomass productivity made by the UV cut-off film were plotted against the sum of cell projection area per light receiving area of the PBR, the results revealed that the inhibitory effect of UV on biomass productivity can be negligible when the sum of cell projection area is equal to the light receiving area of the PBR. These results show that photoinhibition caused by UV radiation could be eliminated via operating the PBR with a proper ICD.

  • The adaptive response and cross-adaptive response to sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) and DNA single-strand breaks (SSBs) in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-K$_1$ cells treated with ultraviolet radiation (UV), ethyl methanesuffonate (EMS), or bleomycin (BLM) were investigated. Two assays were used in this study; SCEs and alkaline elution. The pretreatment with low conditioning dose of 2 mM EMS or 1 J/m$^2$ UV decreased the yield of SCEs induced by subsequent treatment with 8 mM EMS, 5 J/m$^2$ UV or 5 $\mu$g/ml BLM. And the pretreatment with low conditioning dose of 1 $\mu$g/ml BLM decreased the yield of SCEs induced by subsequent treatment with 5 $\mu$g/ml BLM or 5 J/m$^2$ UV. The rejoining of DNA SSBs in cells subsequently treated with 2 J/m$^2$ UV, 50 mM EMS or 400 $\mu$g/ml BLM is higher than that only treated with 2 J/m$^2$ UV, 50 mM EMS or 400 $\mu$g/ml BLM. These results suggest that there are the adaptive response and cross-adaptive response to SCEs, and is the adaptive response to the rejoining of DNA SSBs in CHO cells.
