Environmental conditions can influence the morphology of local biota through phenotypic plasticity or local adaptation. Macroalgal morphologies are often associated with wave-exposure conditions. We investigated the relationship between morphology and wave exposure in two common endemic subtidal macroalgae, Carpophyllum angustifolium and C. maschalocarpum, from the East Cape of New Zealand. Morphological comparisons were made between individuals from two sites and four different wave-exposure zones, as defined by fetch and barnacle composition. Of the seven morphological traits measured in C. angustifolium, only total length varied, and individuals were longer in more wave-exposed environments between the two exposure zones where the species were found. In contrast, total length, stipe thickness and vesicle presence all varied significantly between exposure zones in C. maschalocarpum. C. maschalocarpum specimens were shorter with thinner stipes, and fewer individuals had vesicles in the more wave-exposed zones. Morphological traits of both species also varied between sites, suggesting that other influences are important for determining species morphology. Further study is needed to investigate the role of phenotypic plasticity and genetic variability for driving morphological variation in C. angustifolium and C. maschalocarpum.

X-ray systems for medical treatment use noninvasive procedures. I fabricated a high tension generator of a full-wave rectification type using a LC resonant inviter. It is said that a full-wave rectifying X-ray equipment such as the fabricated system can shorten initiating period and be precision control because of stable output, compared with the X-ray equipment of a half wave rectifying type used in the usual clinical medicine. In order to evaluate the capability of the fabricated high tension generator, I performed exposure dose characteristics experiments.

The safety of human exposure to an ever-increasing number and diversity of electromagnetic field (EMF) sources both at work and at home has become a public health issue. To date, many in vivo and in vitro studies have revealed that EMF exposure can alter cellular homeostasis, endocrine function, reproductive function, and fetal development in animal systems. Reproductive parameters reported to be altered by EMF exposure include male germ cell death, the estrous cycle, reproductive endocrine hormones, reproductive organ weights, sperm motility, early embryonic development, and pregnancy success. At the cellular level, an increase in free radicals and $[Ca^{2+}]i$ may mediate the effect of EMFs and lead to cell growth inhibition, protein misfolding, and DNA breaks. The effect of EMF exposure on reproductive function differs according to frequency and wave, strength (energy), and duration of exposure. In the present review, the effects of EMFs on reproductive function are summarized according to the types of EMF, wave type, strength, and duration of exposure at cellular and organism levels.

The newly discovered properties of periodic nanoscale patterns have increasingly sparked research interests in various fields. Along this direction, it is worth mentioning that there had been rare studies conducted on interference exposure, a method of creating periodic patterns. Additionally, these few studies seemed to validate the existence of only exact quadrangle shapes and dot patterns. This study asserted the formation of wavy patterns associated to using multiple exposures of the ratio of the first exposure intensity to the second exposure intensity. Such patterns were designed and constructed herein via overlapping of two Gaussian beams relative to certain rotation angles, and with a submicron structure fabricated based on a 360-nm continuous-wave laser. Results confirmed that the proposed double exposure laser interference lithography is able to create circular, elliptical and wavy patterns with no need for complex optical components.

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is simply evolved from extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy known as a revolutionary non-invasive technique for treating kidney stone diseases. Since ESWT was approved for treating plantar fasciitis by FDA in 2000, it has been rapidly accepted into various clinical practices. Its indication includes chronic tendinitis and pseudoarthrosis, and has been widened to various applications other than orthopeadics. Little has been reported on their acoustic properties, yet, even if a number of clinical ESWT systems are readily available. This article reviews the acoustical aspects of ESWT and discusses critical issues towards acoustic exposure optimization and shock wave dosimetry.

In this paper, the propagation of elastic wave generated by loading impact to plates made of isotropic of anisotropic material was studied. And the influence of boundary conditions (free or clamped edge) upon the reflection of elastic wave was anlyzed. Also, double exposure holographic interferometer using ruby pulse laser was formed in order to investigate transient waves. Before the elasitc wave was reflected from the edges, the elastic wave of isotropic plate such as aluminum plate showed circular interferometric fringe pattern, whereas that of anisotropic plate such as epoxy composite laminates showed elliptical one. And the transverse displacement curves obtained from experiment and theory for both plates agreed well. Also, the waves reflected from the boundary edges showed much differences according to the boundary condition of edges.

TEM 셀 내에 있는 혈액에 대한 삽입 손실과 반사율을 측정하여, 원하는 혈액 흡수 SAR(Specific Absorption Rate) 선택에 따른 TEM셀 입력 전력을 구하였다. 혈액 세포는 피부 세포와 함께 전자파 영향을 연구하기 위한 기준 세포이다. 따라서 SAR에 따른 혈액 세포에 인가할 전력 산출은 정확해야 함은 물론 타당성이 있어야 한다. 이 연구에서는 g당 혈액 세포가 받는 전력을 산출하기 위해 50 g의 혈액을 이용하여 전달 전력 감소를 측정하였다. 측정된 데이터로부터 휴대폰 전자파 생체 흡수율 SAR 0.8, 1.6, 3, 4 mW/g에 해당하는 TEM셀 입력 전력을 계산하였다. 이 연구 결과는 배양 세포의 전자파 방사 장치에 응용함을 목적으로 하고 있다.

To compare three-phase 12-pulse full-wave X-ray generators with single-phase full-wave X-ray generators on their performance of outputs, authors studied the generating X-ray by means of exposure dose and radiographic density. The results were as follows; 1. The exposure doses of three-phase full-wave X-ray generators showed a 30%-60% increase as compared against of single-phase full-wave generators. 2. The transmitted doses of three-phase full-wave generators were more increased than single-phase full-wave X-ray generators. 3. To obtain the same density, 60kVp in three-phase full-wave generators were equivalent to $60{\sim}65kVp$ in single-phase full-wave generators, and 100kVp in those generators were equivalent to $100{\sim}125kVp$ in these generators.

The objective of this study was to implement an in vitro exposure system for 28 GHz to investigate the biological effects of fifth-generation (5G) communication. A signal source of 28 GHz for 5G millimeter-wave (MMW) deployment was developed, followed by a variable attenuator for antenna input power control. A power amplifier was also customized to ensure a maximum output power of 10 W for high-power 28-GHz exposure. A 3-dB uniformity over the 80 mm × 80 mm area that corresponds to four Petri dishes of three-dimensional cell cultures can be obtained using a customized choke-ring-type antenna. An infrared camera is employed for temperature regulation during exposure by adjusting the airflow cooling rate via real-time feedback to the incubator. The reported measurement results confirm that the input power control, uniformity, and temperature regulation for 28-GHz exposure were successfully accomplished, indicating the possibility of a wide application of the implemented in vitro exposure system in the fields of various MMW dose-response studies.

전자파가 일상생활에서 생체에 많은 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 있으나 실제로 그 영향을 정성, 정량적으로 규명하는 것은 용이하지 않다. 본 연구에서는 생체의 전기적 신호를 이용하여 2.45GHz의 전자파에 노출시킨 토끼의 두부에 대한 영향을 측정하는 방법을 검토하였다. 연구결과, 두부모델의 손상정도는 뇌전위의 연속적인 FFT 신호처리에서 뇌활성도 저하를 관찰할 수 있었으며, 특정 주파수와 강도(최소허용전력과 치사전력)에 대한 기준 설정에 필요한 요소를 제시할 수 있었다.
