  • 선량 측정기의 공간적인 반응특성 때문에 나타나는 detector의 크기효과는 임상적인 선량측정을 부정확하게 만드는 중요한 원인이기에 많은 연구의 대상이 되어왔다. 관례적으로 detector response kernel은 detector 자체의 크기가 측정한 방사선의 선량분포에 대해 미친 영향에 대한 정보를 포함하고 있다. 이 kernel에 대해 다양한 수학적 모델들이 제안되었고 실험적으로 이론적으로 연구되어왔다. 이 논문은 convolution이론과 Monte Carlo simulation만을 이용하여 detector의 kernel을 결정하는 방법을 제시한다. 이 수치해석적인 방법을 사용하여 물 phantom에 잠긴 Farmer형 ion chamber의 detector response kernel을 계산하였다. 계산된 kernel은 기존의 parabolic 모델의 특성과 Gaussian 모델의 특성을 동시에 나타내고 있다. 이 kernel과 deconvolution 방법을 사용하여 측정된 6MV, 10${\times}$10 $\textrm{cm}^2$, 0.5${\times}$10 $\textrm{cm}^2$ 광자선으로부터 크기효과를 제거하였다. 크기효과가 제거된 방사선의 선량분포는 꼬리부분을 제외하고는 film이나 pin-point ion chamber에 의해 측정된 결과와 유사한 선량분포를 나타냈다.

  • 플라즈마 이온온도를 측정하기 위해 정전평판형 이온에너지 분석기를 설계 제작하고 에너지 교정 및 에너지 분해능 등의 특성을 조사하였다. 일정한 검출기 위치에서 이온의 에너지에 따른 편향평판전압은 선형성을 보였으며, $53{\sim}103mm$ 사이의 검출기 위치에서 이온에너지에 대한 최대편향평판전압의 기울기는 $1.61{\sim}0.92$로 검출기위치의 증가에 따라 선형적으로 감소하였다. 본 실험 영역에서 에너지 분해능은 약 $4.16{\sim}11.60%$였으며, 검출기 위치 및 이온에너지의 증가에 따라 향상되었다. 상대적 검출효율은 검출기 위치의 증가에 따라 감소하였다. 제작된 분석기를 다목적 플라즈마 발생장치에 설치하여 DC 플라즈마의 이온에너지 스펙트럼을 측정하였다. 방전전압이 320V, 전류가 0.17A인 DC 플라즈마의 이온온도는 $203{\sim}205eV$로 나타났으며 검출기의 위치에 따른 이온온도의 변화는 없었다. 검출기의 위치에 따른 에너지 분해능은 $18{\sim}21%$로 검출기 위치가 증가할수록 향상되었다.

  • Determination of several cationic surfactants in cosmetics has been investigated. Reverse phase ion pair chromatography was used to identify and quantitate cationic surfactants. Cationic surfactants analyzed in this experiment were cetylpyridium chloride, stearyltrimetylammonium chloride, bezalkonium chloride, benzyldicethylcetylammonium chloride, and bihenyltrimethyl ammonium chloride. The separation was achieved on a reverse phase coumn with 10mM HCl-acetonitrile eluent. In this condition, the most of cationic surfactants with exception of CPC and CTAC respectively with suppressed conductivity detector and UV detector connected in series. The calibration curves obtained by plotting the peak areas of the cationic surfactants were linear at levels ranging from 0.005 to 0.1% correlation coefficient, r=0.9988. The detection limits were 1 to 5ppm in sample solution. The average recoveries of cationic surfactants added to hair treatment cream and hair rinse in three to five experiments were 96.7 105.2% and relative standard deviations were 1.1-3.8%. The case that there were CPC and CTAC in same solution was also tested. CPC and CTAC which couldn't be separated on reverse phase column were quantitated with suppressed conductivity detector and UV detector connected in series. Recovery of CPC and CTAC were 101.6 and 89.2% respectively. The proposed method was applied to the determination of cationic surfactants in commercial hair treatment cream.

  • The solid state detector system was constructed using commercially available rectifier diode for the assessment of quality assurance in radiotherapy. Dosimetry system which consists of the electrometer and the water phanton was used for measuring small field size scanning. The measured results, which had linearity in accordance with variation of radiation dose for gamma-ray of Co- 60 and 6 and 10MV photons of linear accelerator, showed quite linear characteristics within 1% error. The percent depth dose of 10MV photon of Mevatron KD linear accelerator was measured in small field size using diode, and the results were compared with that of using ion chambers. The results show that the difference of percent depth dose between the value of diode and that of ion chamber was negligible in large field size. However, in small size less than 4$\times$4cm, the difference of percent depth dose estimated by diode and ion chamber was 4.7% by extrapolation to 0$\times$0cm. Considering the smaller volume of diode than that of ion chamber, it might be more reliable to use diode for estimating percent depth dose. Above results suggest that diode can be used for routine check such as beam profile, flatness, symmetry and energy

  • We have developed and commercialize a time-of-flight - medium energy ion scattering spectrometry (TOF-MEIS) system (model MEIS-K120). MEIS-K120 adapted a large solid acceptance angle detector that results in high collection efficiency, minimized ion beam damage while maintaining a similar energy resolution. In addition, TOF analyzer regards neutrals same to ions which removes the ion neutralization problems in absolute quantitative analysis. A TOF-MEIS system achieves $7{\times}10^{-3}$ energy resolution by utilizing a pulsed ion beam with a pulse width 350 ps and a TOF delay-line-detector with a time resolution of about 85 ps. TOF-MEIS spectra were obtained using 100 keV $He^+$ ions with an ion beam diameter of $10{\mu}m$ with ion dose $1{\times}10^{16}$ in ordinary experimental condition. Among TOF-MEIS applications, we report the quantitative compositional profiling of 3~5 nm CdSe/ZnS QDs, As depth profile and substitutional As ratio of As implanted/annealed Si, Ionic Critical Dimension (CD) for FinFET, Direct Recoil (DR) analysis of hydrogen in diamond like carbon (DLC) and InxGayZnzOn on glass substrate.

  • The objective of this study was to develop an assay for mequitazine (MQZ) for the study of the bioavailability of the drug in human subjects. Using one mL of human plasma, the pH of the sample was adjusted and MQZ in the aqueous phase extracted with hexane; the organic layer was then evaporated to dryness, reconstituted and an aliquot introduced to a gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer (GC/MS) system with ion-trap detector. Inter- and intra-day precision of the assay were less than 15.1 and $17.7{\%}$, respectively; Inter- and intra-day accuracy were less than 8.91 and $18.6{\%}$, respectively. The limit of quantification for the current assay was set at 1 ng/mL. To determine whether the current assay is applicable in a pharmacokinetic study for MQZ in human, oral formulation containing 10 mg MQZ was administered to healthy male subjects and blood samples collected. The current assay was able to quantify MQZ levels in most of the samples. The maximum concentration ($C_{max}$ was 8.5 ng/mL, which was obtained at 10.1 h, with mean half-life of approximately 45.5 h. Under the current sampling protocol, the ratio of $AUC_{t{\rightarrow}last}$ to $AUC_{t{\rightarrow}{\infty}}$ was $934{\%}$, indicating that the blood collection time of 216 h is reasonable for MQZ. Therefore, these observations indicate that an assay for MQZ in human plasma is developed by using GC/MS with ion-trap detector and validated for the study of pharmacokinetics of single oral dose of 10 mg MQZ, and that the current study design for the bioavailability study is adequate for the drug.

  • In this article, a UV sensor that is an appropriate tool for fire detection has been designed and constructed. The structure of this UV sensor is an air-filled single-wire detector that is able to operate under normal air condition. A reflective CsI photocathode is installed at the end of the sensor chamber to generate photoelectrons in the ion chamber. An electric current is produced by accelerating photoelectrons to the anode in the electric field. The detector is able to measure the intensity of the incident UV rays whenever the current is sufficiently high. Therefore, the sensitivity coefficient of this sensor is found to be $7.67{\times}10^{-6}V/photons/sec$.

  • A method determining the plasma concentration of clotiazepam was developed by using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry with an ion-trap detector and was validated for applying pharmacokinetics to human volunteers orally taken 5 mg dose of clotiazepam. The detection limit was 1 ng/ml and the limit of quantitation was 5 ng/mt. Intraday reproducibility and accuracy bias % were less than 8.2 and 10.2% with inter-day variations for those being within 7.0 and 13.8%, respectively. The recovery of clotiazepam was higher than 87%. The principal pharmacokinetic parameters were determined from the plasma concentration-time plot by non-compartmental or two-compartmental analysis. In non-compartmental analysis, the elimination half-life of 10.4 hr and the area under the curve of 651.3 ng hr/ml were determined, and the maximal concentration (158.6 ng/ml) in the plasma was obtained at 0.56 hr post-dose. The developed method can be appropriate to apply pharmacokinetics and bioequivalence of clotiazepam.
