W-target 투과양극형 x-ray tube를 개발하고, 특성을 조사하였다. 관전압이 12kV이하에서는 연속 x-ray만 방출되었고, 12kV 이상에서부터 특성 x-ray가 관측되었다. 연속 x-ray와 특성 x-ray의 에너지 분포 및 선량 특성을 조사한 결과 알려진 결과와 잘 일치함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 상용화된 제품과의 비교에서, 기존 제품 이상의 성능을 가질 수 있음을 확인하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서 개발된 x-ray tube는 상용화할 수 있을 만큼 충분히 우수한 특성을 가지고 있음을 확인하였다.

Massive environmental monitoring has been conducted continuously since the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power accident in March of 2011 by different monitoring methods that have different features together with migration studies of radiocesium in diverse environments. These results have clarified the characteristics of radiological environments and their temporal change around the Fukushima site. At three months after the accident, multiple radionuclides including radiostrontium and plutonium were detected in many locations; and it was confirmed that radiocesium was most important from the viewpoint of long-term exposure. Radiation levels around the Fukushima site have decreased greatly over time. The decreasing trend was found to change variously according to local conditions. The air dose rates in environments related to human living have decreased faster than expected from radioactive decay by a factor of 2-3 on average; those in pure forest have decreased more closely to physical decay. The main causes of air dose rate reduction were judged to be radioactive decay, movement of radiocesium in vertical and horizontal directions, and decontamination. Land-use categories and human activities have significantly affected the reduction tendency. Difference in the air dose rate reduction trends can be explained qualitatively according to the knowledge obtained in radiocesium migration studies; whereas, the quantitative explanation for individual sites is an important future challenge. The ecological half-lives of air dose rates have been evaluated by several researchers, and a short-term half-life within 1 year was commonly observed in the studies. An empirical model for predicting air dose rate distribution was developed based on statistical analysis of an extensive car-borne survey dataset, which enabled the prediction with confidence intervals. Different types of contamination maps were integrated to better quantify the spatial data. The obtained data were used for extended studies such as for identifying the main reactor that caused the contamination of arbitrary regions and developing standard procedures for environmental measurement and sampling. Annual external exposure doses for residents who intended to return to their homes were estimated as within a few millisieverts. Different forms of environmental data and knowledge have been provided for wide spectrum of people. Diverse aspects of lessons learned from the Fukushima accident, including practical ones, must be passed on to future generations.

휴대용 XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence) 장치에 적용할 수 있는 40 kV용 투과 양극형 W-Target tube와 Rh-Target tube를 개발하고 특성을 조사하였다. 특성 x-ray의 에너지와 연속 x-ray의 선량특성은 알려진 결과와 잘 일치함을 확인하였고, 최대 선량을 추출하기 위한 양극금속 박막의 최적 두께는 W-target tube의 경우 약 $2.6{\mu}m$, Rh-target tube의 경우 약 $2.7{\mu}m$ 임을 밝혀내었다. 또한 관전압 40 kV, 관전류 $60{\mu}A$로 30분 동안 연속적으로 작동시켰을 때 양극에서의 온도는 $50^{\circ}C$를 넘지 않아 휴대용 XRF장치에 적용할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Comparison of bioavailabflity (BA) of three brands of ranitidine (RT) tablets has been studied m rats. The purpose of this study was to characterize the pharniacolunetics of RT tablets in the rat and to coinpare phannacolunetic parameters of three brands of RT tablets. In addition, it was investigated whether plasma RT concentrations m humans can be predicted from pharmacokinetic parameters obtained in rats. RT was administered intravenously in dose of RT.HCI 10mg/kg and orally in dose of RT.HCI 50mg/kg as solution or crushed sample of thablets. Plasma RT concentrations were determned by HPLC. Plasma RT concentrations as a function of time were fitted to two compartment model. Plasma RT concentrations declined with a terminal half life ($t_{{1}/2{\betha}}$) of 40.9 min. The plasma RT concentration-time curve showed two peak plasma concentrations following an oral administration of solution or crushed sample in rats like humans. No significant difference among pharmacokinetic parameters was observed except $T_{max2}$ (p<0.05). The BA for crushed sample A, B and C were found to be 54.6 40.7 and 40.0%, respectively. Equivalence of $C_{max1}$ and $T_{max2}$ were guaranteed in this study. However, it was concluded that three brands of RT tablets are bioequivalent, taking the following characteristics of RT into consideration;(1) rapid onset of the effect is not required, (2) $C_{max1}$ and $T_{max2}$ do not seem to influence the effectiveness of the drug during a long-term treatment by the usual administration of twice a day. Results from this study were combined with plarmacokinetic data for RT in dogs and humans to develop a basis for interspecies scale-up of the disposition characteristics of the drug. there were similarities in the general disposition of the drug. Allometric relationships were sought between pharmacokinetic parameters nd species body weight. Significant interspecies correlations were found for total body clearance($Cl_{t}$) and steady state volume of distribution ($Bd_{ss}$). Thus, plasma RT concentrations in humans can be predicted from pharmacokinetic parameters obtained in rats.

This study investigates the characteristics of humic acid before and after ozonation. The results were comapred in such terms as CODCr, CODMn, TOC(total organic carbon) and molecular size distribution. As a result of ozonation (with the dose of 3mgO3/mgHumic Acid), UV NIS absorbance, CODCr, CODMn and TOC were decreased with similar tendency. The mole fraction of high molecular size was rapidly decreased and the fraction ratio of low molecular size was increased through ozone treatment. This fact can be correlated with the change in the difference and the ratio of CODCr and CODMn (the value of CODCr-CODMn and CODMn/CODCr). From this result, it can be inferred that the molecular size and the degree of chemical oxidative degradation of humic acid after ozonation were changed.

We measured the optical properties in Ag/chalcogenide films with the exposure of 325nm-Held laser In addition we have investigated the Ag doping mechanism as considering the changes of Ag-concentration distribution and optical energy gap ( $E_{op}$ ) with Photon-dose. The "windows" characteristics of Ag thin film occur around the wavelength of 325 nm and the Ag is evaluated to be transparent, without an absorption, in the region. While the $E_{op}$ of S $b_2$ $S_3$ thin film was changed largely by an exposure of HeNe laser(632.8 nm) an exposure of HeCd laser resulted in relatively small variation of $E_{op}$ . Therefore it is thought that photon absorption at the metal layer plays an important role in Ag photodoping.on at the metal layer plays an important role in Ag photodoping.

Background: Thoracic epidural anesthesia is frequently used to maintain intraoperative and postoperative analgesia. Frequently, 3 ml of local anesthetic is used as a test dose, or for intermittent epidural injection. We assessed the extent of the spread of 3 ml of contrast medium in the thoracic epidural space and attempted to identify any correlating factors affecting the epidurography. Methods: A total of 70 patients were enrolled in the study, and thoracic epidural catheterizations were performed under fluoroscopic guidance. Using 3 ml of contrast medium, epidurography was evaluated to confirm the number of spinal segments covered by the contrast medium. Correlation analysis was performed between patient characteristics (sex, age, body mass index, weight, height, and location of catheter tip) and the extent of the contrast spread. Results: The mean number of vertebral segments evaluated by contrast medium was $7.9{\pm}2.2$ using 3 ml of contrast medium. The contrast spread in the cranial direction showed more extensive distribution than that in the caudal direction, with statistical significance (P < 0.01). Patient height demonstrated a negative correlation with the extent of distribution of contrast medium (r = -0.311, P < 0.05). Conclusions: Thoracic epidurography using 3 ml of contrast medium results in coverage of a mean of $7.9{\pm}2.2$ spinal segments, with more extensive cranial spread, and patient height showed a weak negative correlation with the distribution of contrast medium.

전자선은 선량분포에 영향을 주는 인자가 많아 동일 설정이라도 사용 장비마다 그 특성을 파악하여 방사선 치료에 이용해야 하며, 체내 구조물에 영향이 민감하여 종양에 균일한 선량분포를 조사하기가 까다롭다. 본 연구에서는 광도전체인 PbI₂를 사용하여 선량계를 제작하였고, 선형가속기에서 6, 9, 12 MeV 전자선에 대한 전기적 특성을 분석하였다. 재현성 평가결과, RSD는 6, 9, 12 MeV 에너지에서 각각 1.1215%, 1.0160%, 0.5137%로 나타나 출력 신호가 안정적인 것을 나타내었다. 선형성 평가결과, 직선형 추세선의 신뢰도 지표 R²값은 6, 9, 12 MeV에서 각각 0.9999, 0.9999, 0.9994로 나타나 선량이 증가함에 따라 PbI₂에 출력 신호가 비례한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구의 PbI₂ 선량계는 전자선 측정 적용가능성이 매우 높은 것으로 판단되며, 광도전체 물질을 통한 전자선 선량계의 기초연구로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
