Ninety two strains of Streptococcus pyogenes were isolated from patients with pharyngitis, scarlet fever, skin infection, and invasive streptococcal infections in Seoul, Korea from January to December, 1998. All isolates were epidemiologically characterized by T protein serotype, and serum opacity factor (OF) detection to phenotypes. To analyze the genetic relationship, fifty two isolates including 32 erythromycin-clindamycin (Em-Cm) resistant strains, 20 antimicrobial susceptible strains were attempted to the pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). T protein serotype showed 16 kinds in distribution including T12 and T4. Among the total isolates, 40 strains (43.5%) belonged to the T12 serotype and twenty strains (21.7%) to T4 serotype. On the other hand, when infection aspect of S. pyogenes isolates were analysed by T serotype distribution, T12 type was predominant for pharyngitidis which contributed to 21 strains (53%) and for skin infection isolates which contributed to 11 strains (28%), respectively. In case of T4 type, it was the most predominant pharyngitidis isolates which contributed to 8 strains (40%). In T serotype distribution of Em-Cm resistant strains, 27 strains (84%) of the thirty two showed T12 serotype. In minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of Em-Cm resistance isolates, thirty two isolates showed resistant to erythromycin 27 strains (84%), had high MIC of >$128\;{\mu}g/ml$. And also to clindamycin, twenty two strains (69%) had high MIC of >$128\;{\mu}g/ml$. When OF detection of Em-Cm resistance of S. pyogenes isolates were analyzed by T serotype distribution, T12 serotype isolates revealed that all of the isolates except one strain were OF negative. In PFGE profile analysis to Em-Cm resistance isolates, of the twenty seven, Em-Cm resistance of T12 serotype isolates, 26 strains showed identical PFGE profile and all of these isolates revealed that OF negative. Eighty four percent of Em-Cm resistance S. pyogenes isolates had identical phenotype and PFGE profile. These results strongly suggested that the Em-Cm resistant S. pyogenes isolates from Seoul area showed close genetic correlation and PFGE could be available tool for molecular epidemiology.

최근 해양 포유동물의 수동 음향 추적을 위해 스코어-패널티 법이 사용되고 있다. 전통적인 시간영역 정합장 처리 기법은 손실함수에 측정신호와 손실신호간의 정합도만을 고려하는 반면, 스코어-패널티법은 측정 신호와 모의신호의 비적합도를 반영하는 페널티 항도 추가로 고려한다. 본 연구에서는 스코어-패널티법을 파형을 알고 있는 수동표적의 심도 추정에 적용했다. 수중 음속 구조의 불확실성을 갖는 심해 환경을 가정하고, 스코어-패널티법의 성능을 평가했다. 또한 시간영역 정합장 처리기법의 결과와 서로 비교했다. 약한 수중 음속 오정합 환경에서 스코어-패널티법은 시간영역 정합장 처리기법보다 높은 정확도를 보이고 효율적으로 동작했다. 그렇지만 수중 음속 구조의 오정합이 매우 큰 경우에는 두 기법 모두 표적의 심도 추정에는 실패했다.

Microstructure modifications are investigated for annealed Co-based amorphous ribbon in vacuum and open air. X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra for annealed sample in vacuum indicate atomic arrangements with initial nucleation of hcp-Co crystallite at 38$0^{\circ}C$ annealing temperature. However, the XRD spectra in samples with long annealing times of $t_a\geq300$ min demonstrate sharp and good developed surface crystalline hcp-, fcc- Co and $Co_2$Si phases. The giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) profile at 0.1 MHz displaying one-peak behavior in vacuum annealed samples at T = 38$0^{\circ}C$ irrespective of annealing time $t_a$ from 20 to 480 mim. For the annealed samples in an open air, the GMI profile shows two-peaks for $t_a$ = 20 min annealed sample. However, one of peaks disappears and an asymmetric GMI profile exhibits a drastic step-like change near zero field for $t_a\geq300$min. Such asymmetric GMI characteristics is related to the surface microstructures of fcc-Co, hop-Co and $Co_2$Si crystalline phases.

The burnup profile of spent fuel should be determined accurately for the safety storage of spent fuel. In this study, a neutron detection system was developed as a part of basic research to analyze the burnup profile of spent fuel, and a performance was evaluated using a radiation source. The prototype of the neutron detection system was based on a ³He proportional chamber. The ³He proportional chamber is often used for neutron measurement and analysis because of its high neutron detection efficiency and simplicity for gamma ray rejection. For quantitative evaluation, tests were conducted using calibrated ²⁵²Cf and ¹³⁷Cs sources. In the performance evaluation, a field applicability was verified by analyzing the detection characteristics according to the nuclide.

A simple but accurate analytical model for the lateral channel electric field in gate-offset structured Lightly Doped Drain MOSFET has been developed. Our model assumes Gaussian doping profile, rather than simple uniform doping, for the lightly doped region and our model can be applied to LDD structures where the junction depth of LDD is not identical to the heavily doped drain. The validity of our model has been proved by comparing our analytical results with two dimensional device simulations. Due to its simplicity, our model gives a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in reducing the electric field in the LDD MOSFET. The model shows clearly the dependencies of the lateral channel electric field on the drain and gate bias conditions and process, design parameters. Advantages of our analytical model over costly 2-D device simulations is to identify the effects of various parameters, such as oxide thickness, junction depth, gate/drain bias, the length and doping concentration of the lightly doped region, on the peak electric field that causes hot-electron pohenomena, individually. Our model can also find the optimum doping concentration of LDD which minimizes the peak electric field and hot-electron effects.

Multileaf collimator (MLC) is now rapidly replacing the lead ahoy block to shape the radiation treatment field. In addition to its defect of rectangular field shaping and increased penumbra width, it has another possible problem, and that is of radiation transmission between leaves, which needs to be maintained at as low a level as is permissible. The authors measured and analyzed the inter-leaf and cross-leaf transmissions of MLC by Varian Associates Inc, before its clinical application. The inter-leaf and cross-leaf transmissions were calculated by comparing the measured point doses in the polystyrene phantom in the open field and in a total closure of MLC. The beam profile of the inter-leaf and cross-leaf transmissions were depicted by using a water phantom. A photon beam of 6 MV was used in the measurement. The inter-leaf transmission was 1.63∼1.67%, indicating that the shielding effect of MLC is excellent. However, the cross-leaf transmission in the central area was 18.4∼18.7% and this is well over the clinically acceptable limitation of 5%. The beam profile of cross-leaf transmission displayed 80∼90% transmission near the field edge, so that the cross-leaf transmission was 14∼17% in this area. The multileaf collimator has an excellent shi디ding effect and the inter-leaf transmission is negligible so that it can be used in clinic as a good replacement of the conventional lead alloy block. However, care must be taken to avoid the cross-leaf transmission in the radiation field.
