The importance of determining the radon exhalation rate from water surface is emphasized by the increased use of radon and its daughter products as tracers in large-scale circulation studies of the atmosphere. There were many methods to measure radon exhalation from water surface. With the development of radon exhalation rate measurement methods and instruments on the surface of the soil, the rock and building materials, so the radon exhalation rate from water surface can be more accurately measured by applying these improved methods and instruments. In this paper, a cuboid accumulation chamber surrounded by foam boards and a RAD7 were used to measure the radon exhalation rate on the water surface at three different positions by Yixin lake. Each measurement was performed 2 h. The radon exhalation rate from the water surface was about 6 × 10^-3 Bq m^-2s^-1. The thoron exhalation rate from the water surface also can be estimated, it is about 0.16 Bq m^-2s^-1. These results hint that the radon transmission from the lake bottom soil to water and then into the atmosphere.

Cheju island is composed of volcanic tuff. The soil in Cheju island has principally sprung from basalt and partially made up of trachyte, and andesite. Also ancient relics, plain coarse pottery kilns and pantiles kilns are homogeneously distributed all over the Cheju island. In this study samples of plain coarse pottery and pantiles from five regions of Cheju island have been examined through X-ray fluorescence spectrometer and Mossbauer spectroscopy. It is thought that these samples be partially formed from neutral volcanic rock like trachyte and the valence state of iron is almost $Fe^{3+}$. Also the magnetic hyperfine field of goethite contained in these samples is less than synthetic goethite. This result shows the degradation of magnetic order caused by the partial substitution of diamagnetic positive ion $Fe^{3+}$ by $Al^{3+}$ in the goethite lattice.

We estimated the critical current distribution of the long length CCs using hall probe method, and checked the reliability by comparing with the four-probe dc transport method. The deviation ratio of $I_{c-T}$ (a measured critical current by four probe dc transport method) and $I_{c-H}$ (calculated critical current by formula (3).) was nearly smaller than 12%. The Hall probe method appeared powerful to evaluate the critical current of CCs in a reel to reel system.

In order to study for the growth of fish in the aquaculture industry, the behavior analysis of rock bream (Oplegnathus fasciatus) depending on the temperature and LED lights was conducted. In this study, water temperatures from 10 to 30 degrees were used. One red light (wave length: 622 nm; light power: 811 mW) and one green light (wave length: 518 nm; light power: 648 mW) were used. Behavior of the rock bream was analyzed at an average moving distance for one minutes (AMD) and a rate of movement. The mean AMD were respectively 5.3 m, 7.3 m and 3.0 m in the red LED light, green LED light and control condition. The mean rates of movement were 77%, 88% and 61% respectively in the red LED light, green LED light and control condition. The mean AMD during 24 hours were 3.1 m, 3.1 m and 3.3 m respectively in the red LED light, green LED light and control condition.

This article describes a new in-situ load test called the Hydraulic Cylinder Test (HCT) and its application to determine the geotechnical properties of soil-rock mixtures. The main advantages of the test are its easy implementation, speed of execution and low-cost. This article provides a detailed description of the equipment and the test procedure, and examines a case study of its application to determine the geotechnical properties of an earth-filled dam for a tailings pond. The containment dams of the ponds are made from blocks of gypsum and marl, obtained from the excavation of the ponds, mixed in a matrix of sands and clays. The size of the rocks varies between 1 and 30 cm. The HCT is particularly useful for determining the geotechnical properties of this type of soil-rock mixture. Nine HCTs were carried out to determine its strength (c, ${\phi}$) and deformation (B, G) properties. The results obtained were validated using the Bim strength criterion, recently proposed, and some pressure meter tests carried out beforehand. The properties obtained are used to analyze the stability of the dam using computer simulations and a modification to its design is proposed.

The mass attenuation coefficient ${\mu}_m$ for eight rock samples having different chemical composition was simulated using the MCNP 5 code in energy range($0.002MeV{\leq}E{\leq}10MeV$). Moreover, the ${\mu}_m$ for the studied rock samples was computed theoretically using XCOM database. The comparison between simulated and computed data for all selected rock samples showed a good agreement with differences varied between 0.01 and 8%. The highest ${\mu}_m$ was found for basalt rocks M2 and M1 and the lowest one is reported for limestone rocks Dike. The simulated values of the ${\mu}_m$ then were used to calculate other important shielding parameters such as the mean free path, effective electron density and effective atomic number. The exposure buildup factor EBF was also computed for the selected rocks with the contribution of G-P fitting parameters and the highest EBF attended by the basalt sample Sill and varied between 1.022 and 744 in the energy range between ($0.015MeV{\leq}E{\leq}15MeV$) but the lowest EBF achieved by basalt sample M2 and varied between 1.017 and 491 in the same energy range.

지하 염수층의 $CO_2$ 주입은 큰 저장 능력으로 인하여 대기 중으로의 $CO_2$ 방출을 감소시키기 위한 가장 유망한 방법일 것이다. $CO_2$ 저장은 적어도 수 천년 간 $CO_2$가 지층 안에 안전하게 남아있도록 주의깊게 계획되고 모니터링되어야 한다. 특히 해양 저류층에 대한 탄성파 탐사 방법들은 알맞은 저류층특성이 제공된다면 $CO_2$의 주인공정과 분산을 모니터링하기 위한 일차적인 수단이다. 탄성파탐사 방법은 잠재적인 트랩, 저류층 특성, 저류층 저장능력의 규명에 또한 필수적이다. 따라서 $CO_2$ 저장에 대한 탄성파 반응의 변화에 대한 평가는 매우 초기 단계에 이루어져야 한다. 이것은 모암과 $CO_2$ 사이의 화학적 작용에 의해 일어날 수 있는 유체의 특성이나 광물 조성의 변화에 따른 탄성파 반응에서의 잠재적 변화를 평가하기 위해 나중 단계에 다시 고려될 필요가 있다. 따라서 저류층에 일정시간 이상의 $CO_2$ 주입에 의한 탄성파 반응 변화에 대해 섬세히 구축된 모형은 장기간의 모니터링 프로그램 설계에 도움을 준다. 그러한 목적으로 주입된 $CO_2$에 대한 단기간과 장기간의 4차원 탄성파 반응을 모델링하도록 설계된, 그래픽 사용자 인터페이스((GUI)를 채택한 암석물리학 모의실험장치를 개발했다. 적용분야는 $CO_2$ 위상 변화, 국부적인 압력과 온도 변화, 화학 반응 및 광물의 침전을 포함한다. 이방성 가스만(Gassmann) 식을 모의실험장치에 고려시킴으로써 단층과 파쇄대를 재활성화 시키는 $CO_2$의 탄성파 반응 또한 예측될 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 암석물리학 모의실험장치를 적용했던 현장(해상과 육상의 잠재적 $CO_2$ 격리 지역)의 사례를 보여주고 있다. 4차원 탄성파 반응들이 모니터링 프로그램의 설계를 돕기 위하여 만들어 졌다.

We present results of Raman spectroscopic studies of superconducting $YBa_2Cu_3O_7$ (YBCO) coated conductors. Raman scattering is used to characterize optical phonon modes, oxygen content, c-axis misalignment, and second phases of the YBCO coated conductors at a micro scale. A two-dimensional mapping of Raman spectra with transport properties has been performed to elucidate the effect of local propertied on current path and superconducting phase. The information taken from the local measurement will be useful for optimizing the process condition.

Gradient coil offers the spatial informations of sample or patient in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging(NMRI) and its gradient field linearity over the field of view(FOV) has many influence on the MR imaging. Accurate and good quality MR imaging can be acquired by the high gradient field linearity over the FOV. So it is an important part to design of gradient coil with good linearity in the wide imaging range. Usually, Z-directional gradient field is generated by using the Helmholtz type coil which is consisted of one-pair loop with anti-current path. It gets less about 40% linearity of the diameter spherical volume(DSV). In this study, we calculated optimized geometrical parameters of two-pair loop system to cancel odd terms up to $B_7$ included effectively. we also analyzed and compared the gradient field distribution and linearity of the common Helmholtz coil with them of the two-pair loop system.
