교토대학 원자로실험소의 46-MeV 전자선형가속구를 이용하여 $^{99}Tc$의 중성자포획단면적을 중성자에너지 0.007 eV에서 47 keV에 걸쳐 중성자 비행시간법을 이용하여 측정을 하였다. 이 중성자포획 결과는 $^{10}B(n,\gamma)$반응의 중성자 반응 단면적에 상대적으로 얻어졌다. 얻어진 결과를 확인하기 위해서 교토대학 원자로실험소의 납감속장치를 이용한 결과를 확인하였다. TOF방법으로 얻어진 결과는 0.0253 eV에서의 결과(20.01 b)에 규격화되었다. 기존의 실험결과들과 평가결과들인 ENDF/B-VI, JENDL-3.2, and JEF-2.2은 본 연구에서 TOF와 납감속장치로 얻어진 결과들과 비교 및 검토하였다.

방사성 액체폐기물의 용매추출 공정에서 발생되는 방사선 분해현상을 연구하기 위하여 추출제로 사용되는 dimethyldibutyltetradecylmalonamide (DMDBTDMA)를 합성하고, 합성된 DMDBTDMA를 $^{60}Co$ 감마 방사선으로 조사시킬 때 생성되는 방사선 분해산물을 정량 분석하였다. 방사선 조사된 DMDBTDMA에 대한 FT-IR 스펙트럼과 EI-질량스텍트럼 및 GC/MS-SIM 방법으로 측정한 결과를 바탕으로 n-methylbutylamine, tetradecane, 1-tetradecanol 3종의 방사선 분해산물의 존재를 확인하였다. 3종의 방사선 분해산물 농도는 이들 표준물질과 n-dodecane을 내부표준물질(ISTD)로 사용하여 GC/MS-SIM 방법으로 정량 분석하였다. 방사선 분해산물에 대한 총 이온 크로마토그램에서 나타난 머무름 거동, 분리도와 해상도 측면에서 만족스런 결과를 얻었으며, 총 이온 크로마토그램에서 n-methylbutylamine, n-dodecane, tetradecane 및 1-tetradecanol 각각의 성분에 대한 피크 검출시간은 각각 2.35분, 8.83분, 10.68분 및 12.75분 이었다. 그리고 tetradecane은 방사선 분해산물의 농도가 DMDBTDMA의 방사선 흡수선량과 비례하는 상관관계를 확인하였다.

Silicon carbide with aluminium oxide was used to remove the sulphur hexafluoride ($SF_6$) gas using microwave irradiation. The destruction and removal efficiencies (DREs) of $SF_6$ were studies as a function of various decomposition temperatures and microwave powers. The decomposition of $SF_6$ gas was analyzed using GC-TCD. XRD (X-ray powder diffraction) and XRF (X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometer) were used to characterize the properties of aluminum oxide. DREs of $SF_6$ were increased as the microwave powers were increased. Additive aluminium oxide on SiC increased the removal efficiencies and decreased the decomposition temperature. The XRD results show that the ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ was transformed to ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ during $SF_6$ decomposition by microwave irradiation. It was found that the best material to control $SF_6$ was SiC with $Al_2O_3$ 30 wt% in consideration of microwave energy consumption and $SF_6$ decomposition rate.

In the first study, the Radon emanation and radiological hazards associated with radionuclides in soil samples, collected from 9 various date palm farms located in 3 different districts in Saudi Arabia were determined through a high purity Germanium (HPGe) gamma-ray spectrometer. The estimated average values of Radon emanation coefficient and Radon mass exhalation rate for soil samples were 0.535 ± 0.016 and 50.063 ± 7.901 mBqkg^-1h^-1, respectively. The annual effective dose of radionuclides in all sampling locations was found to be lower than UNSCEAR's recommended level of 0.07 mSvy^-1 for soil in an outdoor environment. In the secondary study, gross α and gross β activities in soil and date palm pits samples were measured by a low background α/β counting system. Average values of gross α and gross β activities in soil and date palm pits samples were 5.761 ± 0.360 Bqkg^-1, 38.219 ± 8.619 Bqkg^-1 and 0.556 ± 0.142 Bqkg^-1, 24.266 ± 1.711 Bqkg^-1, respectively.

We present near-infrared spectroscopic and photometric observations of the nova V2468 Cyg taken from 2008 March 14 till 2008 November 11 following its outburst on 2008 March 7. The JHK spectra of the nova have been taken from the Mount Abu Infrared Observatory using the Near-Infrared Imager/Spectrometer. The early spectra are dominated by strong H I lines from the Brackett and Paschen series, Fe II, O I and C I lines, typical of Fe II type novae but after 46 days from outburst there is significant reduction in the strength of the C I lines and the spectra are dominated by He I lines. The FWHM of the Pa-beta and Br-gamma lines change from 2200-2300 km s-1 to 1700-1800 km s-1 after 12 days from outburst. Three additional small amplitude outbursts are seen near 110, 185 and 240 days in the V band light curve after the discovery. The upper limit for the ejecta mass for V2468 Cyg is estimated to be $5.2{\times}10-6Msun$.

Artemisia capillaris and Artemisia iwayomogi are weeds used as medicinal plants in Korea under the name "Injin". I collected leaves of A. capillaris and A. iwayomogi, examined them for phytotoxic effects from volatile substances and determined the composition of monoterpenes in the leaves. The effects of volatile substances from each species on seed germination and radicle elongation in each of the two Artemisia species were assessed. The volatile substances of A. capillaris did not negatively affect the seed germination of A. capillaris, but they did inhibit radicle elongation. Rates of seed germination of A. iwayomogi decreased when the seeds were exposed to high concentration of A. capillaris volatile substances. The inhibition of seed germination and radicle elongation by volatile substances from both Artemisia species was stronger for A. iwayomogi than for A. capillaris. I identified the monoterpenoids from the leaves with a gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS). The main constituents of A. capillaris were acenaphthylene (37.91%), $\beta$-pinene (12.08%), 4-carene (10.61%) and $\gamma$-curcumene (9.92%), while those of A. iwayomogi were germacrene-$\delta$ (32.15%), borneol (21.24%), camphor (20.45%) and trans-caryophyllene (7.75%).

Background: In case of radiation emergencies, internal exposure monitoring for the members of public will be required to confirm internal contamination of each individual. In-vivo monitoring technique using portable gamma spectrometer can be easily applied for internal exposure monitoring in the vicinity of the on-site area. Materials and Methods: In this study, minimum detectable doses (MDDs) for $^{134}Cs$, $^{137}Cs$, and $^{131}I$ were calculated adjusting minimum detectable activities (MDAs) from 50 to 1,000 Bq to find out the optimal in-vivo counting condition. DCAL software was used to derive retention fraction of Cs and I isotopes in the whole body and thyroid, respectively. A minimum detect-able level was determined to set committed effective dose of 0.1 mSv for emergency response. Results and Discussion: We found that MDDs at each MDA increased along with the elapsed time. 1,000 Bq for $^{134}Cs$ and $^{137}Cs$, and 100 Bq for $^{131}I$ were suggested as optimal MDAs to provide in-vivo monitoring service in case of radiation emergencies. Conclusion: In-vivo monitoring program for emergency response should be designed to achieve the optimal MDA suggested from the present work. We expect that a reduction of counting time compared with routine monitoring program can achieve the high throughput system in case of radiation emergencies.

Different degrees of natural radioactivity found in quartz can have negative consequences on health. Quartz vein along the investigated Abu Ramad area, Egypt, had its natural radioactivity assessed. The HPGe spectrometer was used to determine the role played by the radionuclides ²³⁸U, ²³²Th, and ⁴⁰K in the gamma radiation that was emitted, and the results showed that these concentrations are 484.64 ± 288.4, 36.8 ± 13.1 and 772.2 ± 134.6 Bq kg^-1 were higher than the corresponding reported global limits of 33, 45, and 412 Bq kg^-1 for each radionuclide (²³⁸U, ²³²Th, and ⁴⁰K). Among the radiological hazard parameters, the excess lifetime cancer risk (ELCR) is estimated and it's mean value of ELCR (1.2) is higher than the permissible limit of 0.00029. The relationship between the radionuclides and the associated radiological hazard characteristics was investigated based on multivariate statistical methods including Pearson correlation, principal component analysis (PCA), and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA). According to statistical research, the radioactive risk of quartz is primarily caused by the ²³⁸U, ²³²Thand ⁴⁰K. Finally, applying quartz to building materials would pose a significant risk to the public.

본 연구에서는 세계적으로 널리 이용되고 있는 건조 향신료 중 건조생강의 감마선 조사에 의한 휘발성 향기성분의 변화를 관찰하였다. 비조사 건조생강과 10 kGy의 선량으로 조사처리된 건조생강을 SDE방법으로 휘발성 성분 추출후 GC/MS로 분석하였다. 비조사 시료와 조사시료에서 각각 83종, 71종의 화합물이 분리 동정되었으며, 감마선 조사에 따른 뚜렷한 상관관계는 없었다. 건조생강의 주된 향기성분으로는 $\alpha$-zlngiberene, $\beta$-sesquiphellandrene, geranial, (Z, E)-$\alpha$-farnesene, $\beta$-phellandrene으로 이는 조사 처리된 건조생강의 휘발성 향기성분의 조성과 유사함을 알 수 있었다. 방사선 비조사 및 조사 처리된 정유성분의 총량은 각각 $98.27\%$에서 $98.12\%$로$ 0.15\%$ 감소하였으며 monoterpene은 $17.15\%$에서 $17.90\%$로 미량 증가하였으며 , sesquiterpene은 $60.99\%$에서 $61.24\%$로 증가하였다. 반면 oxygenated monoterpene과 oxygenated sesquiterpene은 각각 $0.5\%$와 $0.65\%$ 감소되었다. 성분들 중에서 감마선 조사에 따라 $\alpha$-zingiberene, $\beta$-sesquiphellandrene, geranial, (Z,E)-$\alpha$-farnesenesene, $\beta$-phellandrene등의 합량이 감소됨을 알 수 있었지만 이는 소량으로 감마선 조사가 건조생강의 관능적 요소에 미치는 영향으로 보기는 어렵다.
