  • The relationship between the addition of Sb$_2$O$_3$ and the color difference by solarization in photosensitive glasses was investigated. Glasses containing CeO$_2$ and Sb$_2$O$_3$ simultaneously and glasses with only CeO$_2$ were changed reddish and yellowish respectively after exposing to ultra violet ray. Color difference between compositions was represented by dominant wavelength and purity. Since, in glasses containing CeO$_2$ and Sb$_2$O$_3$ simultaneously, Sb$_2$O$_3$ as reduction agent affected Ce$^3+$ ions to increase in glass and more Ce$^4+$ ions were induced than in glasses with only CeO$_2$ during UV irradiation, more electrons released by photo-ionization, which were color centers, were trapped by Ce$^4+$. In conclusion, the introduction of Sb$_2$O$_3$ to photosensitive glasses with CeO$_2$ resulted in the change of color center concentration in glasses and prevented the solarization of photosensitive glasses with CeO$_2$.

  • Potassium lithium niobate (KLN) crystals, grown by the micro pulling down $({\mu}-PD)$ method, have been considered on the interchange between incongruent melt composition and second harmonic generation (SHG) properties because of the sensitive interaction. Correlation between the composition of crystals and the wavelength of SHG applications from ultra - violet to green region was found. Also, the ${\mu}-PD KLN$ KLN crystals showed a homogeneity of noncritical phase matching and an excellent SHG property which is converted to blue laser light with half wavelength by the red irradiation.

  • The effects of environmental agents on health are great concern for all. It was recognized that each human has differential susceptibility to environmental effects. Susceptibility are changed by many factors includin gdevelopmpntal processes, genetic factors, nutritional stratus, preexisting disease conditions, life style and personal habits. Of all factors nutritional factors seem to be the area most modifiable. Consequently, It is an area that must be more thoroughly evaluated. In this paper, nutrient and environment interactions are reviewed briefly with published literatures. This paper deals with the influence of micronutrients(energy, protein and fat), Vitamins (vitamin 4, vitamin B-complex, vitamin C, vitamin D and vitamin I) and Minerals(calcium, iron, selenium, zinc and other minerls) on environmental effects. The role of arch nutrient was assessed in modifyine the expression of environmental pollutant toxicity with available litertures. In each nutrient section, the effect of environment was considered in following agents : heavy metals(lead, cadmium, mercury, silver and etc), inorganic agents(nitwits, sulfite, fluoride and etc), organic agents(benzene, carbon tatra-chloride, aflatoxin, auto dye, dialbrin etc), Irritant gas(ozone, carbon monooxide and etc), physical agents(X-irradiation, ultra violet, temperature and noise) and insectcides. The extent to which nutritional status modifies environmental effects 3nd its converse, how envirollments affects nutritional status is very complex. In deed, at the present time there are more than 50 chelnical/phycical agents that affect the nutrient metabolism and/or have their toxicity either directly diminished or enhanced by nutrients of those agents, small number of agents for each nutrients have sufficient evidence to warrant any reasonable degree of confidence in their hypothesized associtation. With these information at this present time it is hard to conclude that the recommended dietary allowance for each nutrient should be reconsidered.

  • Chlorella vulgaris, a genus of single-cell green algae, is considered to be a very essential resource for the higher value-added business including functional food and biodiesel, due to its high contents of protein, carbohydrate and lipid. In this study, ultraviolet rays were irradiated in order to induce the mutation of C. vulgaris. After inducing the mutation, UV1-20 mutant, high in lipid was selected and its cell growth rate, dry weight, pigment content and lipid content were measured. The growth rate of the UV1-20 mutant was increased almost 1.5 times than the wild type, but pigment contents of chlorophyll and carotinoid were decreased. In addition, the lipid content of UV1-20 was increased 1.8 times than the wild type. Therefore, C. vulgaris mutant, isolated in this study, is considered to have sufficient potential to be used as a material for the higher value-added business.

  • Emission characteristics of terbium-activated $InBO_3$ under cathode-ray(c.r.) and vacuum ultra violet(v.u.v.) irradiation have been investigated as a functions of norminal compositions and firing conditions. From the x-ray analysis, it was found that some of the synthesized samples contained excess $In_2O_3$ and the amount of the excess $In_2O_3$ varied with the norminal composition and heat treatment conditions. The samples with remanent excess $In_2O_3$ showed lower luminescence intensities than the ones free of excess $In_2O_3$. The phosphors of norminal composition of $InBO_3+10mol%B_2O_3:2mol%Tb$ synthesized at $1250^{\circ}C$ showed excellent CL and PL properties.

  • The enzyme-producing potentials of industrially important strains of Aspergillus spp. were studied. Irradiation of three original isolates of Aspergillus oryzae to ultra-violet rays resulted in the production of mutants which differed from the parent riboflavin and vitamin $B_{12}$ in culture media. 1. Irradition three strains of Aspergillus oryzae to ultraviolet light produced mutants and two strains of them were selected for soy sauce brewing. 2. The two strains are the physiological mutants of Aspergillus oryzae. Both were found to have superior enzyme activity to their relatives. 3. Aspergillus oryzae UV-induced mutant 172-722 and 569-713 were more powerful than others in the production of riboflavin and vitamin $B_{12}$. The enzyme activity of these strain were high and decreased only slightly even in 20 percent solution of NaCl. 4. Aspergillus oryzae UV-induced mutant 172-722 had more powerful protease producibility in wheat bran media than in modified Czapek's solution. On the contrary, Aspergillus oryzae UV-induced mutant 569-713 had more powerful producibility of saccharogenic and dextrinogenic amylase in modified Czapek's solution than in mold bran. 5. Aspergillus oryzae UV-induced mutant 172-722 formed the spore rapidly and Aspergillus oryzae UV-induced mutant 569-713 did ordinarily. 6. It is found from the results that Aspergillus oryzae UV-induced mutant 172-722 is valuable material for the manufacture of soy sauce because of its high protease activity in 20 percent solution of NaCl. Aspergillus oryzae UV-induced mutant 569-713 is suitable for soy bean mash and for fermented red pepper sauce for its high saccharogenic and dextrinogenic amylase activity in 20 percent solution of sodium chloride.

  • This paper describes the influence of Ultra-violet irradiation on time to tracking resistance of epoxy insulating materials by use of the inclined plane test. And, the influence of surface degradation was evaluated through several method such as measurement of contact angle, surface roughness, using a scanning electron microscopy. As the 1000 hours of the surface degradation with UV-CON, the flashover time decreases at different rates depending on epoxy resin and silicone rubber specimen. As the duration of the surface degradation with UV-CON is prolonged, the contact angle of epoxy resin decreases at the rate of degradation time, while that of silicone rubber was not exchanged. It is assumed that this phenomenon is related to the decrease in hydrophobicity of the surface of the materials. Also, as to epoxy resin, the decrease of hydrophobicity due to surface degradation with UV-CON is greater than that resulting from surface degradation with WOM. The UV radiation produced chalking and crazing on the surface of the insulating materials specimen.

  • From the point of view to prevent airborne infection-related diseases such as H1N1, SARS, and MERS, an actual application of air cleaning and purification systems including technologies like UVGI has become increasingly important. Recently, an air purification system using REME (Reflective Electro Magnetic Energy) developed in the U.S. is applied for indoor air purification and sterilization technology to counteract the outbreak of new airborne infections. In this study, an air sterilization performance experiment using REME was carried out. The results verified that air sterilization performance in the case of installing a REME system in a medical center was 31%, namely the number of floating bacteria decreased by 31% after only a five-day operation. In addition, the number of culture collections in the REME operating air conditioning systems using nonpathogenic Geobacillus stearothemophilus as a biological indicator decreased maximally to 67%. A field application of REME technology will be useful to prevent airborne infection-related diseases, especially in response to public health crises due to the advent of emerging diseases.

  • $(Y,Gd)BO_3$: Eu, $Zn_2$$SiO_4$ : Mn and $BaMgAl_{10}$ $O_{17}$ : Eu phosphors used in PDP were continuously irradiated by vacuum ultra violet generated from the penning gas (96%Ar+4%Xe) discharge and then the change of emitting intensity with time was investigated. The brightness of these phosphors decreased exponentially with VUV excitation time. The experimental data showed that the degradation rate increased in the order of $Zn_2$$SiO_4$ : Mn>(Y,Gd)$BO_3$: Eu>$BaMgAl_{10}$ $O_{17}$ : Eu phosphor. This different degradation property of phosphors was interpreted in terms of brightness saturation and stability against VUV irradiation. It was found that the degradation property of $(Y,Gd)BO_3$ : Eu red phosphor synthesized by ultrasonic thermal spray was superior to commercial phosphor.

  • Recently, LED (Light Emitting Diode) application research is studying by using a specific wavelength. LED plant factory produced a lot of green plants in a closed spaces, so it should be taken to guard against harmful microbes. Until today, a lot of studies for green plant production in plant factory is proceed but there were no study on harmful microbes in plant factory. Thus, the analysis on sterilization for harmful microbes in plant factory were experimented using UV (Ultra Violet) LED with 282nm of wavelength. As a results on sterilization of three harmful microbes, 50% of sterilization efficiency was achieved after 2.5 hours, 97% was achieved after 12 hours of UV LED irradiation, respectively.
