This study was intended to investigate the physiological effect of gamma irradiation at 50, 100 and 500 Gy on the garlic bulbs stored at low temperature of $3\;{\pm}\;1\;^{\circ}C$ and a relative humidity of 70-80%, and room temperature of $12\;{\pm}\;5\;^{\circ}C$ and a relative humidity of 75-85%, respectively for 10 months. Irradiation treatment stimulated temporary the respiration of garlic, which was greatly affected by storage conditions later. Sprouting of garlic was effectively inhibited in the all irradiated and low temperature groups until 10 months of storage, while the nonirradiated and 50 Gy groups were partially rooted around the 4th month after storage under both conditions. Weight loss and spoilage were shown to be little affected by irradiation until the nonirradiated garlic sprouted, and at the latter stage of storage period, the optimum dose of irradiation showed a significant effect on the reduction of weight loss and spoilage in stored garlic. It was also found that irradiation for sprout inhibition did not influence the firmness of garlic cloves.

The aim of this study is to examine the removal efficiency of pathogen (Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella typhimurium) on meat and fish products (packing condition: vacuum or not and storage temperature: $4^{\circ}C$ or $-20^{\circ}C$) repeatedly exposed at low-dose gamma irradiation. In case of meat products (beef and chicken), E. coli O157:H7 was not observed at the level of 2 kGy single gamma irradiation and 0.5 kGy repeated gamma irradiation and S. Typhimurium was not observed at the level of 2 kGy single gamma irradiation and 1 kGy repeated gamma irradiation. In case of fish products, E. coli O157:H7 and S. Typhimurium were not detected at the level of 0.5 kGy single and repeated gamma irradiation. These results showed that microorganisms on fish products were more efficiently removed than those of meat products with low-dose gamma irradiation. Generally, each packing condition made no difference. However, the products (fish and meat) stored at $-20^{\circ}C$ needed more higher dose gamma irradiation than products at $4^{\circ}C$.

UV-curable resin has the properties of quick-drying, thigh productivity at low temperature, energy savint, space saving, solventless, non-polluting and low-stinking, and thus, UV-curing system has been widely used in the fields of printing inks, adhesives, paints and coating agents. This study has been executed to micro-patterning used UV-curable resin, The micro-patterning properties of this photoresist were investigated under irradiation of UV light low pressure mercury lamp. When the exposed photoresist film was developed by pure water developer, the resolution of this photoresist was about 50$\mu\textrm{m}$.

Micro plasma has been recently studied to investigate the effects on various cells. We study a micro-plasma produced by a plasma needle that is operated with RF power and its effects on G361 melanoma cells. The micro plasma size ranges from sub-mm to several mm at a few watts of RF power. For the bio-medical treatment, low-temperature plasma is obtained and gas temperature is controlled within several tens of degrees $(^{\circ}C)$ in order not to disturb cell activities. Elementary spectroscopic studies to obtain plasma characteristics are presented for Ar and He plasma with different frequencies of RF power. Also the preliminary results of the micro plasma effects on G361 melanoma cells are presented. It was observed that the irradiation of micro plasma induces cell death through the deprivation of tyrosine phosphorylation in the G361 cells.

In this paper we have investigated the surface degradation by ultraviolet-irradiation in high-temperature vulcanized silicone rubber. Through the measurement of surface potential decay by corona-charging and of contact angle it is found that the change of surface electrostatic properties and the decrease of contact angle under UV-radiation. For the changes in micro-morphological and chemical structure of the UV-treated silicone rubber we utilized several analytical techniques such as SEM, ATR-FTIR,XPS. From this study it is shown that the chemical reactions(scissoring of side chain(S-$CH_3$) cross-linking and branching) occur on the surface of silicone rubber during the UV-irradiation. Also we obtained the results of the loss of low molecular weight chain by cross-linking and oxidation reaction.

Microstructural features and their related mechanical property changes in the 309L cladding and the heat affected zone (HAZ) of SA508 cl.3 steel were investigated through the use of TEM, tensile and small punch (SP) tests. The specimens were irradiated at 563 K up to the neutron fluences of $5.79{\times}10^{19}n/cm^2$ (>1MeV). The microstructure of the clad was mainly composed of a fcc ${\gamma}-phase$, a low percentage of bcc ${\delta}-ferrite$, and a brittle ${\sigma}-phase$. Along the weld fusion line there formed a heavy carbide precipitation with a width of $20{\sim}40{\mu}m$, showing preferential cracking during plastic deformation. The yield stress and ductile-to-brittle transition temperature (DBTT) of the irradiated clads increased. The origin of the hardening and the shift of the DBTT are discussed in terms of the irradiation-produced defect clusters of a fine size and brittle ${\sigma}-phase$.

This study has investigated radiation degradation of low density polyethylene(LDPE). Samples were irradiated up to 800kGy using a $Co^{60}\;\gamma-ray$ at a dose rate of 5kGy/hr in the presence of air atmosphere at room temperature. After irradiation, storing for 2 weeks, free radical measurement of LDPE has established by electron spin resonance(ESR). ESR measurement showed that free radical concentration(FRC) was increased with radiation dose and decreased with the time. The radical types showed alkyl, allyl, and peroxy radical with the irradiation, these changed to peroxy radical with the time.

The relation between the ion irradiation induced grain growth and the basic parameters sinvolved in ion beam mixing process was studied. TEM micrographs showed that a significant grain growth has been induced by Ar+ irradiation at room temperature. The grain size increases rapidly in low dose region, while it approaches a saturated value in high dose region, and it has close relationship with nuclear energy deposition and thermodynamic properties such as cohesive energy ( Hc) and heat of mixing ( Hm). A model for the grain growth based on the thermal spike induced atomic migration was developed and applied to interpret experimental results.
