Research results on possible effects caused by radiofrequency fields in children are limited because most of the studies published so far have focused on adults, rather than children. Mobile phone use is now widespread, even among younger children. If a biological risk due to mobile phone exposure is found, it might be greater in children because their bodies might be more sensitive to radiofrequency energy. The issue of a possible difference in sensitivity between adults and children begins with whether any difference exists physically in terms of electromagnetic absorption. This paper presents a review of recent publications on dosimetric comparisons between children and adults with respect to radiation from mobile phones. The issue of the health effects of mobile phone use is beyond the scope of the present review. Most of the dosimetry research on possible differences in power absorption between children and adults has been based on numerical modeling and analysis. The understanding of the results so far is presented and needed studies are described.

We investigated how the polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) tolerance was degraded by semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA)-induced chirp for the 10 Gb/s nonreturn-to-zero (NRZ), duobinary NRZ, return-to-zero (RZ), and carrier-suppressed RZ (CS-RZ) modulation formats. The power penalty was calculated as a measure of the system performance due to PMD for a given SOA-induced chirp. Considering only first-order PMD, all modulation formats have a similar PMD tolerance regardless of SOA-induced chirp. On the other hand, when both first- and second-order PMD are considered, the PMD tolerance of all modulation formats with the exception of the CS-RZ modulation format are degraded by SOA-induced chirp. Among all modulation formats considered here, the NRZ modulation format has the PMD tolerance with the highest sensitivity to SOA-induced chirp. When the peak-to-peak chirp induced by SOAs is $0.28{\AA}$, its PMD tolerance is degraded up to 4 dB for a differential group delay (DGD) of 50 ps. However, the PMD tolerance of the CS-RZ modulation format is largely unaffected by SOA-induced chirp.

Five species of food decay fungl, Aspergillus flavus, Asp. uiger, Penicillum sp., Botrytis cinerea, and Rhizopus stolonifer, were examined for their radio sensitivity in several suspension media. Asp. flavus, Asp. niger and Penicillum sp. have almost the same sensitivity toward gamma rays. with D value in the range of 30 to 35 K rad, whereas Botrytis cinerea has a D value of approximately 55K rad and Rhizopus stolonifer, the most re4sistant fungus studied, has a crease in their radioresistnace when compared with spores irradiated in water. Asp. flavus and penicillium sp. spores irradiated in citrate buffer at pH3-7 showed almost no change in their radisensitiity with pH, but Botryis cinerea spores showed a distinct decrease in their radioresistnace at pH 6 and 7. Penicillum sp. spores irradiated in sucrose solutions showed no sinificant change in their radioresistance. Botrytis cinerea spores displayed a higher radioresistance when they were irradiated in sucrose solution than in water.

최근에 개발되는 대부분의 800MHz 이상 소출력 무선기기는 회로 본체에 안테나를 별도로 돌출 분리시키지 않고 일체형으로 설계하고 있다. 이와 같은 일체형 무선기기의 성능평가는 고전적 개념의 송신기 출력, 안테나 성능을 분리하여 측정하던 방식의 변화를 요구하고 있어, 본 연구는 이와 같은 시대적 환경에 적합한 새로운 측정방식을 제안하고 관련 기기를 개발하였다. 즉, 소형 무선기기를 원점으로 360도 전방향으로 전계를 측정하여 TRP를 측정하고, 반대로 수신레벨 역시 360도 전방향에서 측정하여 TIS를 측정하여 무선기기의 정량적 평가를 할 수 있도록하였다. 뿐만 아니라 송신기의 급전점 전력을 측정할 수 있는 경우 PCB상에 부착된 안테나의 이득, 회로 주변 유전재료, 도전재료가 방사 또는 수신레벨에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 측정할 수 있도록 하여 효과적인 주파수 관리에 기여하고 일체형 무선기기의 최적설계와 성능관리에 효율성을 제고시킬 수 있었다.

$SnO_2$ thin films were prepared on the Si substrate by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering and then post deposition vacuum annealed to investigate the effect of annealing temperature on the structural properties and hydrogen gas sensitivity of the films. The films that annealed at $300^{\circ}C$ show the higher sensitivity than the other films annealed at $150^{\circ}C$. From atomic force microscope observation, it is supposed that post deposition annealing promotes the rough surface and also, increase gas sensitivity of $SnO_2$ films for hydrogen gas. These results suggest that the vacuum annealed $SnO_2$ thin films at optimized temperatures are promising for practical high-performance hydrogen gas sensors.

We have carried out measurements of 1.2-1.6GHz radio interferences around Seoul Radio Astronomy Observatory located in the campus of Seoul National University. We received interference signals using a pyramidal horn antenna and measured its power using a spectrum analyzer with 1MHz resolution after $\~60dB$ amplification. In order to check the spatial characteristics, we made observations at every $30^{\circ}$ in azimuth at elevation of $30^{\circ}\;and\;60^{\circ}$. Also, in order to check the temporal characteristics, we repeated the all-sky observations five times at every six hours. The results may be summarized as follows: (1) There are strong $({\geq}-20dBm)$ interferences between 1.2 and 1.4GHz. Particularly strong interferences are observed at 1.271 and 1.281GHz, which have maximum powers of -0.34dBm and -0.56dBm, respectively. (2) The characteristics of the interferences do not depend strongly on directions, although the interferences are in general weak at high elevation and in east-west direction. (3) The interferences appear for a very short $(\leq0.01s)$ period of time, so that the average power is much smaller than the maximum power. Strong interferences with large $(\leq-49.0dBm)$ average power have been observed at 1.271, 1.281, 1.339, and 1.576GHz. At these frequencies, the interferences appear repeatedly with a period of $\leq0.1s$ By analyzing the observed power, we find that, for the strongest 1.271GHz interference, the average intensity is $-171dBW/m^2/Hz$ and that the maximum intensity is $-122dBW/m^2/Hz$. If this interference is delivered to the detector without any shielding, then its power would be much greater than the rms noise of a typical line spectrum. Therefore, it is important to shield all the parts of receiver carefully from radio interferences. Also, without appropriate shielding, the sensitivity of a receiver could be limited by the interference.

In this paper, we investigate a dynamic spectrum sharing problem for the centralized uplink cognitive radio networks using orthogonal frequency division multiple access. We formulate a large-scale joint rate and power allocation as an optimization problem under quality of service constraint for secondary users and interference constraint for primary users. We also suggest admission control to nd a feasible solution to the optimization problem. To implement the resource allocation on a large-scale, we introduce a notion of using the conservative factors $\alpha$ and $\beta$ depending on the outage and violation probabilities. Since estimating instantaneous channel gains is costly and requires high complexity, the proposed algorithm pursues a practical and implementation-friendly resource allocation. Simulation results demonstrate that the large-scale joint rate and power allocation incurs a slight loss in system throughput over the instantaneous one, but it achieves lower complexity with less sensitivity to variations in shadowing statistics.

A spectral line survey is performed from 159.7 to 164.7 GHz toward Orion-KL, as an extension of our previous line survey from 138.3 to 150.7 GHz with the same 14 m radio telescope of Taeduk Radio Astronomy Observatory. Typical system temperatures were 260 - 1000 K to achieve a sensitivity of about 0.02 - 0.04 K in TA unit. A total of 63 line spectra are detected in this survey. Among them, 54 lines lines are found to be the first detections towards an astronomical source and only 9 spectral lines have been previously identified from other observations. Forty-eight of 54 lines are believed to be from the known transitions of the known molecules, while 6 lines are 'unidentified'. All detected lines are found to be from a total of 10 molecular species and their isotopic variants. The molecular species with most numerous detected transitions are $HCOOCH_3$ (22), followed by $CH_3OCH_3$ (7), $C_2H_5CN$ (7), and $SO_2$ (6). The LTE rotation diagram analysis using all homogeneous data with those from previous survey gives more reliable determination of physical quantities. The derived values of the rotation temperatures and column densities for $HCOOCH_3$, $CH_3OCH_3$, and $SO_2$ are are 75 $\~$ 197 K and $1.5 {\~}18 {\times} 10^{15}\;cm^{-2}$, respectively.
