Zinc nitrate hexahydrate [$Zn(NO_3){\cdot}6H_2O$] and sodium hydroxide [NaOH] were used as source reagents in the preparation of ZnO nanoparticles in an aqueous solution containing deionized water and ethanol in a ratio of 2:5 (v/v). ZnO nanoparticles were heated in an electric furnace at $700^{\circ}C$ for 2 h under an atmosphere of inert argon gas. The morphological and structural properties of the nanoparticles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and powder X-ray diffractometry (XRD). UV-vis spectrophotometry was used to analyze the photocatalytic degradation of 3-nitrophenol with ZnO nanoparticles as photocatalyst under ultraviolet irradiation at 254 nm. Evaluation of the kinetic of the photo-catalytic degradation of 3-nitrophenol indicated that the degradation of 3-nitrophenol with ZnO nanoparticles obeyed the pseudo-first order reaction rate model.

In this work, radio frequency magnetron sputtering was used to deposit zinc selenide thin films on p-type silicon (100) wafers and glass substrates in a high vacuum chamber. Several surface characterization instruments were implemented to study the thin films. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results revealed that oxidized Zn bound to Se (Zn-Se) at 1022.7 ± 0.1 eV becomes the dominant oxidized species when Se concentration exceeds 70%. Scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive spectroscopy showed that incorporating Se in Zn thin films will lead to formation of ZnSe grains on the surface. Contact angle measurements indicated that ZnSe-60 exhibited the lowest total surface free energy value of 24.94 mN/m. Lastly, ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy data evinced that the energy band gap gradually increases with increasing Se concentration with ZnSe-70 having the highest work function value of 4.91 eV.

The physicochemical properties of damaged hair by irradiation of ultraviolet-B (UV-B) have been investigated by using transmission electron microscope and scanning electron microscope. The range of irradiation of hair irradiated for expectative 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours with stimulated ultraviolet ray. The treated hairs showed characteristic morphological damage pattern in the cornified cell of matrix and the cuticle following time past. The various sized vacuoles in the endocuticle of the cuticular cells was formed. The statistically significant differences in diameter of cuticular cell were observed in terms of tranverse swelling by formation of vacuoles. The hair cortex and matrix undergo long term exposure to UV-B radiation. The macrofibrils of cortex appeared to be affected most by UV-B, although the morphology and volume of melanin granule was not changed. The physicochemical destruction of hair matrix and cuticular cells is largely accelerated by long term irradiation of UV-B.

The purpose of this study was to analyze potential effects of Koreans' ultraviolet risk awareness and appearance management on their UV protective behaviors in daily life and outdoor activities, and was to investigate in their awareness of UV-protective clothing and their purchase attitudes toward anti-UV protective clothing. To meet the above goals, we have surveyed a total of 262 participants(male and female) residing in Chungcheong province. Findings were as following: As a part of ultraviolet-protective behaviors, it was found that the respondents often relied on applying sun-block cream or shady place before exposition to sunlight. Particularly, it was notable that 30's or older group was more proactive in UV protective behaviors than younger group below 30 years old. There were significant correlations among the respondents' UV protective behaviors, their awareness of anti-UV clothing and their purchase attitudes to anti-UV clothing. Also, there were also significant correlations among their UV-protective means for outdoor activities. That is, more favorable awareness about anti-UV clothing they have is associated with their more active attitudes to purchasing anti-UV clothing and taking anti-sunlight behaviors. It was found that the number of respondents who used cosmetics for outdoor activities was more than that of respondents who used clothing to protect their body from ultraviolet ray. Hence, it will be necessary for follow-up studies to focus on the development and promotion of anti-UV clothing.

To solve the reliability problem of organic devices that are often used outdoors, multifunctional gas barriers that block reactive gases such as moisture and oxygen and reflect harmful light such as ultraviolet rays are needed. In this study, ALD nanolaminate-based optically functional n-DBR was developed to overcome the poor gas permeability of polymer substrates and protect organic devices from harmful light. n-DBR not only achieved a WVTR of 8.76 × 10^-6 g·m^-2·day^-1, but also showed a visible light transmittance of 94.3% and an ultraviolet ray blocking ability of 2.67%. In particular, n-DBR based on a nanolaminate structure maintained its permeability characteristics even in a high temperature and high humidity environment despite being used as a layer of Al₂O₃. This functional barrier Structure can not only be used as a functional encapsulation barrier for the reliability of organic devices, but can also be used as a tinting film for vehicles.

X-rays with shorter wavelengths than ultraviolet light have very good penetration power. It is convergence in industrial and medical fields has been used a lot. n particular, in the industrial field, various researches have been conducted on the detection of foregin body inside metal that can occur in the production process of products such as metal using x-ray, a non-destructive inspection device. Detectors are becoming increasingly popular for the popularization of DR (Digital Radiography) photography methods that digitally acquire X-ray video images. However, there are cases where foreign body detection is impossible depending on the sensor noise and sensitivity inside the detector. When producing a metal product, since the defective rate of the produced product may increase due to contamination of the foreign body, accurate detection is necessary. In this paper, we provide a correction model for X-ray images acquired in order to improve the efficiency of defect detection such as foreign body inside metal. When applied to defect detection in the production process of metal products through the proposed model, it is expected that the detection of product defects can be processed accurately and quickly.

The recent results concerning the synthesis and application of spiroxazine dyes have been summerized., The absorption bands of usual spiroxazine dyes are changed from colorless to colored from by irradiation of ultraviolet ray. This mechanism is derived from the cleavage of oxazine ring. Such properties are dependent on its chemical structure and surrounded matrix of spiroxazine dyes. the chemical structure of this dye is similar to the well known spriopyran. But spiroxazine dyes have noticed recently, because of excellent high light-sensitivity and superior fatigue-resistant property. This dye are already applied as photochromic lens, cloths and UV light checker.
