The radon concentrations in soil air were measured before and after a rainfall. ²²⁶Ra concentration, porosity, moisture content and temperature in soil were measured at Kyungpook National University in Daegu. As the results of measurement and analysis, the arithmetic mean of measured ²²²Rn concentration increased from 12100 ± 500 Bq/㎥ to 16200 ± 600 Bq/㎥ after the rainfall. And the measured ²²⁶Ra concentration was 61.4 ± 5.7 Bq/kg and the measured porosity was 0.5 in soil. The estimated values of ²²⁶Ra concentration and porosity using diffusion model of ²²²Rn in soil were 60.3 Bq/kg and 0.509, respectively. The estimated values were similar to the measured values. ²²²Rn concentration in soil increased with depth and moisture content. The estimations were obtained through fitting based on the diffusion model of ²²²Rn using the measurement values. The measured depth profiles of ²²²Rn were similar to the calculated depth profiles of ²²²Rn in soil. We hope that the results of this study will be useful for environmental radiation analysis.

모드분리기법의 gird-box형 3차원 수치모형을 이용하여 등밀도 등수심 유한영역에 서의 연직과점성 개수에 따른 취송유와 조류의 수평 유속 연직구조를 분석하였다. 연) 직과점성 계수가 수심에 일정할 경우 선영적으로 감소또는 증가하는 경우 이차함수 및 지수함수적으로 변하는 경우에 대한 해석해와의 비교를 통하여 모형 검증 및 연직유속 구조 분석이 실시되었다. 아울러 취송유에 경우 유속의 연직구조에 대한 해수표면 근 처에 "wall layer" 영향을 수치적으로 검토하였다. 모든 수직계산에서 연직층수는 열 세개로 가변 객자가 사용되었다. 수치모형은 유속의 연직구조를 만족스럽게 재연하게 으나 연직과점성 개수가 수심에 대하여 2차함수 및 지수적으로 감소하는 경우 해저면 부근에서 유속의 연직변화가 크게 나타나면서 해석해와 수치모형 결과간에 약간에 차 이가 나타났다. 수평 유속의 연직구조는 연직과점성 계수의 절대값 및 함수형태에 따 라 달라지며 해저면과 해수표면 부근의 유속은 wall layer 내의 연직과점성 계수에 민 감하게 반응하였다. 취송유에 경우에 해수표면에서의 연직 과점성 계수가 작을수록 강 한 shear가 표층에 형성되었으며 조류에 경우 연직 과점성 계수의 분포와 상관없이 해 저 한계층 상부의 유속은 거의 일정하게 나타나고 해조표내의 유속은 연직과점성 계수 가 줄어들수록 강한 shear 보였다.shear 보였다.

This study was performed for the clinical applications applying the Monte Carlo methods. In this study we calculated the absorbed dose distributions for the 6 MeV electron beam in water phantom and compared the results with measured values. The energy data of electron beam used in Monte Carlo calculation is the energy distribution for 6 MeV electron beam which is assumed as a Gaussian form. We calculated percent depth doses and beam profiles for three field sizes of $10{\times}10,\;15{\times}15$, and $20{\times}20\;cm^2$ in water phantom using Monte Carlo methods and measured those data using a semiconductor detector and other devices. We found that the calculated percent depth doses and beam profiles agree with the measured values approximately. However, the calculated beam profiles at the edge of the fields were estimated to be lower than the measured values. The reason for that result is that we did not consider the angular distributions of the electrons in phantom surface and contamination of X-rays in our calculations. In conclusion, in order to apply the Monte Carlo methods to the clinical calculations we are to study the source models for electron beam of the linear accelerator beforehand.

In order to estimate the detection range of a active SONAR system, the SONAR equation is commonly used. In this paper, an algorithm to calculate detection range in active SONAR system as function of SONAR depth and target depth is presented. For given SONAR parameters and environment, the transmission loss and background level are found, signal excess is computed. Using log-normal distribution, signal excess is converted to detection probability at each range. Then, the detection range is obtained by integrating the detection probability as function of range for each depth. The proposed algorithm have been applied to the case of omni-directional source with center frequency 30Hz for summer and winter sound profiles. It is found that the optimal search depth is the source depth since the detection range increase at source depth where the signal excess is maximized.

Dipole model based analytical expression is proposed to estimate the length and depth of the rectangular defect on ferromagnetic pipe. Among the three leakage profiles of Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL), radial and axial leakage profiles are considered in this work. Permeability variation of the specimen is ignored by considering the flux density as close to saturation level of the inspected specimen. Comparing the profile of both the components, radial leakage profile furnishes the better estimation of defect parameter. This is evident from the results of error percentage of length and depth of the defect. Normalized pattern of the proposed analytical model radial leakage profile is good agreement with the experimentally obtained profile support the performance of proposed expression.

A novel technique for determining the oxygen tracer diffusion coefficients in oxides was developed. After the 16O-18O solid-gas exchange reactions between 16O in the oxides and 18O in the ambient gas, Raman spectra of the cross sections of oxide samples were measured in a spatial resolution of 5 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. From thus obtained Raman spectra, depth profiles of 18O concentration in the oxide samples were calculated. The oxygen tracer diffusion coefficients and the surface exchange coefficients were determined under the assumptions that samples are semi-infinite slab and that the surface exchange reactionsare not negligible. The oxygen tracer diffusion coefficient of 2.8 mol% Y2O3-containing tetragonal ZrO2 polycrystals, 8 mol% Y2O3-containing ZrO2 polycrystals, and 10 mol% Y2O3-containing cubic ZrO2 single crystals (along the a axis) are as follows.

This work was peformed as a basic research in the application of Monte Carlo methods for planning treatments by electron beams. Depth doses, beam profiles and isodose curves in water phantoms were calculated for monoenergetic electron beams with 6, 9, and 12 MeV. The calculated depth doses and beam profiles are almost consistent with their known values. If allowances are made for distributions in electron beam energies, we are confident that the agreement between our calculations and measured values will significantly improve. In conclusion, our work shows that similar Monte Carlo calculations could be applied for geometries In human body in planning electron beam treatments.

Correct determination of the interface locations is critical for the calibration of the depth scale and measurement of layer thickness in SIMS depth profiling analysis of multilayer films. However, the interface locations are difficult to determine due to the unwanted distortion from the real ones by the several effects due to sputtering with energetic ions. In this study, the layer thicknesses of Si/Ge and Si/Ti multilayer films were measured by SIMS depth profiling analysis using the oxygen and cesium primary ion beam. The interface locations in the multilayer films could be determined by two methods. The interfaces can be determined by the 50 at% definition where the atomic fractions of the constituent layer elements drop or rise to 50 at% at the interfaces. In this method, the raw depth profiles were converted to compositional depth profiles through the two-step conversion process using the alloy reference relative sensitivity factors (AR-RSF) determined by the alloy reference films with well-known compositions determined by Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS). The interface locations of the Si/Ge and Si/Ti multilayer films were also determined from the intensities of the interfacial composited ions (SiGe+, SiTi+). The determination of the interface locations from the composited ions was found to be difficult to apply due to the small intensity and the unclear variation at the interfaces.

지하의 단층들이 지표면까지 도달하지 못하면 단층의 유무를 인지 못하는 경우가 있다. HVSR 분석법으로 지표면 아래 단층의 존재를 판별할 수 있는지 살펴보기 위해 포항분지 흥해지역 동편의 곡강단층을 통과하는 지역을 선정하여 연구를 진행하였다. 교차하는 두개의 측선에서 조밀하게 관측한 배경잡음으로 HVSR 분석을 통해 공명주파수를 산정하였다. 연구지역 내 시추 자료의 기반암 깊이 정보와 시추 지역의 공명주파수를 이용해 상관식을 도출한 후 두측선에서의 공명주파수를 상관식에 적용해 기반암 심도를 산출하였다. HVSR 분석 결과 두 측선에서 기반암 심도가 급격히 변하는 곳이 있다. 특히 곡강단층 인근에서 공명주파수가 급격히 변화하였고, 기존에 알려진 단층이 없는 지역에서도 공명주파수와 기반암 심도가 급격히 변화하는 곳이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이 형상은 이전에 알려지지 않은 blind fault와 관련이 있을 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구는 지표면에서 인식하지 못하는 단층을 식별하기 위한 HVSR 방법의 적용 가능성을 확인하였다.
