국내 원전의 계획예방정비기간중에 원자로계통의 개방과정에서 원자로건물내 공기 중으로 누설된 $^{131}I$의 채내 흡입으로 원전 종사자의 내부피폭이 발생하였다. 이에 따라 원전에서 보유하고 있는 전신계측기(Whole Body Counter)를 이용하여 방사선작업 종료 후 즉시 원전종사자의 체내에 침적된 내부방사능을 측정하였고, 수일 경과 후 재측정하였다. 이러한 전신계측결과를 이용한 섭취량 산정 값을 원전종사자가 출입한 원자로 건물 내 공기 중의 $^{131}I$ 방사능 농도 측정결과와 원자로건물 출입기록에 근거하여 계산된 $^{131}I$ 채내 섭취량과 비교 평가하였다. 그 결과 전신계측기를 이용한 채내 방사능측정 결과와 공기중 농도를 이용한 섭취량 산정 결과는 비교적 잘 일치하는 것으로 평가되였다.

Background: Whole-body counters are widely used to evaluate internal contamination of the internal presence of gamma-emitting radionuclides. In internal dosimetry, it is a basic requirement that quality control procedures be applied to verify the reliability of the measured results. The implementation of intercomparison programs plays an important role in quality control, and the accuracy of the calibration and the reliability of the results should be verified through intercomparison. In this study, we evaluated the reliability of 2 whole-body counting systems using 2 calibration methods. Materials and Methods: In this study, 2 whole-body counters were calibrated using a reference male bottle manikin absorption (BOMAB) phantom and a Radiation Management Corporation (RMC-II) phantom. The reliability of the whole-body counting systems was evaluated by performing an intercomparison with International Atomic Energy Agencyto assess counting efficiency according to the type of the phantom. Results and Discussion: In the analysis of counting efficiency using the BOMAB phantom, the performance criteria of the counters were satisfied. The relative bias of activity for all radionuclides was -0.16 to 0.01 in the Fastscan and -0.01 to 0.03 in the Accuscan. However, when counting efficiency was analyzed using the RMC- II phantom, the relative bias of $^{241}Am$ activity was -0.49 in the Fastscan and 0.55 in the Accuscan, indicating that its performance criteria was not satisfactory. Conclusion: The intercomparison process demonstrated the reliability of whole-body counting systems calibrated with a BOMAB phantom. However, when the RMC-II phantom was used, the accuracy of measurements decreased for low-energy nuclides. Therefore, it appears that the RMC-II phantom should only be used for efficiency calibration for high-energy nuclides. Moreover, a novel phantom capable of matching the efficiency of the BOMAB phantom in low-energy nuclides should be developed.

Electric shock is the accident caused by the current through a person or animal's body. That is characterized by the physiological effects. In this paper, we evaluate performance of protection against electric shocks for TT and TN grounding systems which are used by a low voltage consumer nowadays. The performance of protection against electric shocks for TT grounding system is very excellent in equipotential area of the third class grounding, but the performance is poor outside the equipotential area. The performance of protection against electric shocks for TN grounding system is excellent because the potential difference is less than 50V. Accordingly, the performance of protection for TN grounding system is good as compared with that for TT grounding System.

This paper presents a novel bipolar junction transistor (BJT) based electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection device. This protection device was designed for 20V power clamps and fabricated by a process with Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (BCD) $0.18{\mu}m$. The current-voltage characteristics of this protection device was verified by the transmission line pulse (TLP) system and the DC BV characteristic was verified by using a semiconductor parameter analyzer. From the experimental results, the proposed device has a trigger voltage of 29.1V, holding voltage of 22.4V and low on-resistance of approximately $1.6{\Omega}$. In addition, the test of ESD robustness showed that the ESD successfully passed through human body model (HBM) 8kV. In this paper, the operational mechanism of this protection device was investigated by structural analysis of the proposed device. In addition, the proposed device were obtained as stack structures and verified.

In this paper, MOS-triggered silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR)-based electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuits for mobile application in 3.3 V I/O and SCR-based ESD protection circuits with floating N+/P+ diffusion regions for inverter and light-emitting diode driver applications in 20 V power clamps were designed. The breakdown voltage is induced by a grounded-gate NMOS (ggNMOS) in the MOS-triggered SCR-based ESD protection circuit for 3.3 V I/O. This lowers the breakdown voltage of the SCR by providing a trigger current to the P-well of the SCR. However, the operation resistance is increased compared to SCR, because additional diffusion regions increase the overall resistance of the protection circuit. To overcome this problem, the number of ggNMOS fingers was increased. The ESD protection circuit for the power clamp application at 20 V had a breakdown voltage of 23 V; the product of a high holding voltage by the N+/P+ floating diffusion region. The trigger voltage was improved by the partial insertion of a P-body to narrow the gap between the trigger and holding voltages. The ESD protection circuits for low- and high-voltage applications were designed using $0.18{\mu}m$ Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS technology, with $100{\mu}m$ width. Electrical characteristics and robustness are analyzed by a transmission line pulse measurement and an ESD pulse generator (ESS-6008).

본 논문에서는 PMOS 구조를 삽입한 새로운 구조의 SCR(Silicon Controlled Rectifier)기반 ESD(Electrostatic Discharge) 보호소자를 제안한다. 제안된 ESD 보호회로는 내부에 PMOS가 추가적으로 형성된 구조적 특징을 지니며, Latch-up 면역 특성과 향상된 감내특성을 갖는다. TCAD 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 기존의 ESD 보호회로와 특성을 비교 분석하였다. 시뮬레이션 분석 결과, 제안된 보호 ESD 보호회로는 기존 SCR 기반 ESD 보호소자 HHVSCR(High Holding Voltage SCR)과 같은 우수한 Latch-up 면역 특성을 지닌다. 또한 HBM(Human Body Model) 최대온도 테스트 결과에 따르면, 제안된 ESD 보호회로는 355K의 최대온도 수치를 가지며, 이는 기존 HHVSCR의 373K와 비교하여 대략 20K가량 낮은 온도특성으로, 더욱 향상된 감내특성을 갖는 것으로 확인되었다. 제안된 ESD 보호소자는 N-STACK 기술을 적용하여 설계하여 전압별 적용이 가능함을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 검증하였다. 시뮬레이터로 시뮬레이션을 해본 결과, 제안된 ESD 보호회로는 단일 구조에서 2.5V의 홀딩전압 특성을 지니며, N배수의 증배에 따라 2-STACK 4.2V, 3-STACK 6.3V, 4-STACK 9.1V로 증가된 홀딩전압을 갖는 것을 확인하였다.

BACKGROUND: G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are widely distributed in various organisms. Insect GPCRs shown as in vertebrate GPCRs are membrane receptors that coordinate or involve in various physiological processes such as learning/memory, development, locomotion, circadian rhythm, reproduction, etc. This study aimed to identify GPCRs expressed in fat body and compare the expression pattern of GPCRs in different temperature conditions. METHODS AND RESULTS: To identify GPCRs genes and compare their expression in different temperature conditions, total RNAs of fat body in Plutella xylostella larva were extracted and the transcriptomes have been analyzed via next generation sequencing method. From the fat body transcriptomes, genes that belong to GPCR Family A, B, and F were identified such as opsin, gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor, neuropeptide F (NPF) receptor, muthuselah (Mth), diuretic hormone receptor, frizzled, etc. Under low temperature, expressions of GPCRs such as C-C chemokine receptor (CCR), opsin, prolactin-releasing peptide receptor, substance K receptor, Mth-like receptor, diuretic hormone receptor, frizzled and stan were higher than those at 25℃. They are involved in immunity, feeding, movement, odorant recognition, diuresis, and development. In contrast to the control (25℃), at high temperature GPCRs including CCR, gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor, moody, NPF receptor, neuropeptide B1 receptor, frizzled and stan revealed higher expression whose biological functions are related to immunity, blood-brain barrier formation, feeding, learning, and reproduction. CONCLUSION: Transcriptome of fat body can provide understanding the pools of GPCRs. Identifications of fat body GPCRs may contribute to develop new targets for the control of insect pests.

The concept of expectation rights considers 'the expectation' that the patient should be given proper medical treatment as the benefit and protection of the law, so it would be the benefit and protection of the law due to personal rights different from 'the legal principle that has the possibility to a considerable extent' being in an extension of life and body. However, the problem how the patient's expectation of medical service sets up in order to make it the benefit and protection of the law would be still left in the vague concept of the patient's 'expectation', thus, in the first place, the medical practice following formed medical standard in every particular medical institutes should be the standard because these medical services are normally within a range of the patients' expectations. In addition, it should be naturally constituted as mental profit to get the subjective circumstances such as 'the patient's expectation' to be an object, and also, different from the profit and protection of the law such as life and body that should be absolutely protected, the origin of violation behavior should be regarded simultaneously to define the denotation of expectation rights. Therefore, the expectation rights violations would be problematic in case it fails to reach the medical standard that is expected for common doctors to practice properly. This is the concept of expectation rights that gets subjective matters such as the patient's expectation to be objectivity as medical practices that can be expected by generalized abstract doctors. This standard should be defined as the minimum standard that is naturally expected for doctors to practice, different from medical standard that decides the level of doctors.

The pressing of car body parts is one of the most important sheet metal drawing processes. The corrosion protection oil applied by the steel mills plays a part in every sheet metal forming operation and also makes up the largest proportion of lubricants used. The idea to combine the corrosion protection properties of a corrosion preventive oil with the lubricity of a drawing oil lead to the development of the Anticorit prelubes. Applied at the finishing lines of the steel mills, they finally serve as lubricant in the press shops. A prerequisite for the suitability of a prelube-type oil is the absolute compatibility with all single processes from the coil to the Body in White. The use of prelubes in steel mills reduces the number and quantity of spot lubricants for additional press shop oiling dramatically. But their true benefits can only be fully achieved if the compatibility principle is applied throughout the manufacturing chain. Therefore, modem prelubes systems are modular, even different viscosities can be part of the same concept. This results in a far-reaching multifunctionality of the Anticorit prelube system for all applications.
