This paper describes an application of the on line partial discharge measurement method in operating transformer. In the operating transformer, the partial discharge signal may be superimposed by radio intereference voltage(RIV) and pulse shaped noise signals generated by external corona. The partial discharge quantity showed about 3,800pC due to very high sinusoidal interferences at the measuring impedance terminal of the transformer bushing tap. In order to reject these noises, this paper applied RIV filter, band-pass filters and noise gating method. The resulting measuring sensitivity was improved from 3,800pC to 160pC.

The "Widefield ASKAP L-band Legacy All-sky Blind surveY" (WALLABY) is an extragalactic HI survey which aims to examine HI properties and large-scale distribution of ~500,000 galaxies out to z ~ 0.27, covering a wide range of science goals associated with galaxy formation and evolution (P.I.: B. Koribalski & L. Staveley-Smith). The combination of ASKAP's exquisite column density sensitivity and a large primary beam will make it possible to systematically investigate the rarely explored low column-density HI in the universe. Ultimately, the largest and most homogeneous data set from WALLABY will drastically improve and broaden our knowledge on galaxy formation and evolution. ASKAP will be on-line in 2013, so to ensure timely and efficient reduction and analysis of the large WALLABY data set, we have been developing and testing reliable source finding tools and data analysis pipelines. In this talk I present recent progress of WALLABY, especially on the kinematic parameterisation pipeline for the spatially resolved galaxies detected by WALLABY.

Comparing with bar-code systems, RFID systems can supply more efficient work. Using RFID systems, logistic management systems could be helped effectively to gather real-time information. It's available to reduce the working time and object's delay time, and to deal with real-time information by using RFID system. Until now, based on how many pallets used, there is few study about best workload of RFID system. Therefore, in this study, both bar-code and RFID system simulations were executed for inspection process in distribution center. As a result, following the ware pallet quantity, the total cost of both working time and other delay times were calculated and the sensitivity analysis of total cost trend was executed.

We present the required handover capacity of personal communication service exchange(PCX). We use the flow-based mobility model. The dimension of PCX area and the number of radio port controller(RPC) in a PCX are determined according to the traffic carrying capacity of switching system and RPC. For the rectangular or square-shaped PCX/RPC area and the personal communication service environment with pedestrian traffic, we perform numerical computations to investigate the sensitivity to cell size, portable station(PS) terminating traffic, its density, and its average speed. The results how that the size of PCX/RPC area decreases as the PS terminating traffic and the PS density increase, and the PCX handover capacity required is more than 73,000 in the number of transactions per hour.

Optical intensity interferometry, developed in the 1950s, is a simple and inexpensive method for achieving angular resolutions on microarcsecond scales. Its low sensitivity has limited intensity interferometric observations to bright stars so far. Substantial improvements are possible by using avalanche photodiodes (APDs) as light detectors. We present here the results of laboratory measurements with a prototype astronomical intensity interferometer using APDs in continuous ("linear") detection mode - arguably, the first of its kind. We used two interferometer configurations, one with zero baseline and one with variable baseline. Using a superluminous diode as light source, we unambiguously detected Hanbury Brown-Twiss photon-photon correlations at very high significance. From measuring the correlation as function of baseline, we measured the angular diameter of the light source, in analogy to the measurement of the angular diameter of a star. Our results demonstrate the possibility to construct large astronomical intensity interferometers that can address a multitude of astrophysical science cases.

RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) 기술은 RF 신호를 사용하여 물품에 부착된 전자태그(electronic Tag)를 식별하는 비접촉식 기술로서 사물의 정보 및 주변 환경정보를 자동으로 추출하는 특성을 가지고 있다. RFID는 전자태그의 저가격과, 식별코드의 표준화에 힘입어 식료품으로부터 환경관리, 물류 유통 등의 모든 영역 적용에 가능하다. 그러나 현재 RFID 기술을 응용한 사례는 주로 대규모 산업 분야에서만 적용되어 있고, 작은 업체, 가정 등 소규모 그룹에서의 적용 사례는 드문 실정이다. 특히 스마트 홈을 지향하고 있는 가정에서는 각종 식료품, 옷, 책 등 다양한 가정용품들의 관리에 있어서 RFID를 활용은 필수불가결하다. 따라서 본 논문에서 가정 내에서 의류, 식료품, 서적 등 가정 내에 있는 모든 물품에 대해서 RFID 기술을 활용할 수 있도록, 가정 내 특징을 분석하고, 적용 환경에 따른 RFID 인식률 실험을 통하여, 가정 내의 최적의 RFID 시스템 구축 방향성을 제시한다.

Over the past 15 years, several groups have incorporated radio-frequency quadrupole (RFQ) based instruments before the accelerator in accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) systems for ion-gas interactions at low kinetic energy (＜40 eV). Most AMS systems arebased on a tandem accelerator, which requires negative ions at injection. Typically, AMS sensitivity abundance ratios for radioactive-to-stable isotope are limited to Xr/Xs ＞10^-15, and the range of isotopes that can be analyzed is limited because of theneed to produce rather large negative ion beams and the presence of atomic isobaric interferences after stripping. The potential of using low-kinetic energy ion-gas interactions for isobar suppression before the accelerator has been demonstrated for several negative ion isobar systems with a prototype RFQ system incorporated into the AMS system at IsoTrace Laboratory, Canada (Ontario, Toronto). Requisite for any such RFQ system applied to very rare isotope analysis is large transmission of the analyte ion. This requires proper phase-space matching between the RFQ acceptance and the ion beam phase space (e.g. 35 keV, ${\varphi}3mm$, +-35 mrad), and the ability to control the average ion energy during interactions with the gas. A segmented RFQ instrument is currently being designed at Korea Institute for Science and Technology (한국과학기술연구원, KIST). It will consist of: a) an initial static voltage electrode deceleration region, to lower the ion energy from 35 keV down to ＜40 eV at injection into the first RFQ segment; b) the segmented quadrupole ion-gas interaction region; c) a static voltage electrode re-acceleration region for ion injection into a tandem accelerator. Design considerations and modeling will be discussed. This system should greatly lower the detection limits of the 6 MV AMS system currently being commissioned at KIST. As an example, current detection sensitivity of 41Ca/Ca is limited to the order of 10^-15 while the 41Ca/Ca abundance in modern samples is typically 41Ca/Ca~10^-14 - 10^-15. The major atomic isobaric interference in AMS is 41K. Proof-of-principal work at IsoTrace Lab. has demonstrated that a properly designed system can achieve a relative suppression of KF3-/41CaF3- ＞4 orders of magnitude while maintaining very high transmission of the 41CaF3- ion. This would lower the 41Ca detection limits of the KIST AMS system to at least 41Ca/Ca~10^-19. As Ca is found in bones and shells, this would potentially allow direct dating of valuable anthropological archives and archives relevant to our understanding of the most pronounced climate change events over the past million years that cannot be directly dated with the presently accessible isotopes.

This study was conducted to evaluate the combined effect of gamma irradiation and silk peptide on the radiosensitivity of bacteria and the storage stability of ready-to-eat hamburger patty. The $D_{10}$ values obtained for Escherichia coli, Listeria ivanovii, Salmonella typhimurium and Clostridium sporogenes by gamma irradiation were 0.25, 0.50, 0.55 and 1.35 kGy, respectively. The inactivation rate of S. typhimurium ($D_{10}=0.53kGy$) inoculated into hamburger patty with 5%(w/w) silk peptide was reduced 6% compared with the control $D_{10}=0.558kGy$). In acceleration storage at $30^{\circ}C$, microorganisms were not observed in samples irradiated with 7 kGy or 10 kGy during storage. However the irradiation at 5 kGy was insufficient to sterilize the contaminated microorganisms in hamburger patty regardless of the addition of silk peptide (5%). These results indicate that the combined treatment of gamma-irradiation and silk peptide admixture could be helpful to ensure storage stability of ready-to-eat hamburger patty, by controlling the preliminary microbial load.

Potassium cyanate (KCN) is an inorganic reagent and can induce the post-translation carbamylation of proteins. The carbamylated reaction in the body is involved in cell death in various diseases. According the results in our previous study, KCN enhances the radiosensitivity of human colorectal cancer cell line, HCT 116 cells. However, it was not enough to confirm the mechanism that KCN works in these cells. To determinated the mechanisms of KCN in the cells with increased radiosensitivity, HCT 116 cells were treated KCN with low-dose gamma-radiation. And then, we examined alteration of the cell cycle, cell proliferation, cytokine level and the activation of cell signaling protein. As a result, cell cycle arrest and cell death were induced by the activation of caspase-3 and PARP in the irradiated cells with KCN treatment. These changes of the irradiated cell with KCN treatment were induced by the release of $TNF-{\alpha}$ via $NF-{\kappa}B$ activation. In conclusions, enhanced radio-sensitivity mediated by KCN induced cell death and it occurs by $NF-{\kappa}B$-dependent $TNF-{\alpha}$ production.
