  • Concerning the apprehensions about naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM) residues, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and its member nations have acknowledged the imperative to ensure the radiation safety of NORM industries. Residues with elevated radioactivity concentrations are predominantly produced during NORM processing, in the form of scale and sludge, referred to as technically enhanced NORM (TENORM). Substantial quantities of TENORM residues have been released externally due to the dismantling of NORM processing factories. These residues become concentrated and fixed in scale inside scrap pipes. To assess the radioactivity of scales in pipes of various shapes, a Monte Carlo simulation was employed to determine dose rates corresponding to the action level in TENORM regulations for different pipe diameters and thicknesses. Onsite gamma spectrometry was conducted on a scrap iron pipe from the titanium dioxide manufacturing factory. The measured dose rate on the pipe enabled the estimation of NORM concentration in the pipe scale onsite. The derived action level in dose rate can be applied in the NORM regulation procedure for on-site judgments.

  • SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar) interferometry 기술은 co-registration, 정밀궤도 계산, phase unwrapping, 지형보정과 같은 기술로 구성되어있다. 구속화된 위상값을 절대 위상값으로 변환하는 과정인 phase unwrapping 기술은 정밀지형고도를 얻는데 있어서 핵심기술이다. 본 연구에서는 JERS-1 SAR 영상으로부터 interferogram을 구하고, 이로부터 추출된 위상정보를 이용하여 branch cut(Goldstein et. al, 1988), minimum discontinuity(Flynn, 1997) 그리고 minimum $L^p$-norm(Ghiglia and Romero, 1996)방법 적용결과에 대한 비교 분석을 실시하였다. Goldstein 알고리즘은 수행속동가 매우 빠르지만 residue를 연결한 branch cut에 의해 분활된 영역 내에서, 서로 다른 적분 경로로 인해 위상이 단절되었다. 영상내의 모든 화소에서 절대 위상을 구한 minimum discontinuity와 minimum $L^p$-norm 알고리즘 수행 결과는 상관관계가 0.995로 매우 유사하였는데, 가중된 불연속선의 합을 최소화하는 minimum discontinuity 알고리즘이 minimum $L^p$-norm에 비해 영상 일부 지역에서 발생하는 위상 오차를 전파시키지 않는다는 장점이 있다. Minimum $L^p$-norm 방법은 다른 두 방법과 달리 위상정보 내에 많은 잡음이 있더라도 적절한 해를 구할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 각 방법은 대상 자료의 특성에 따라 효율성이 있으나 Flynn의 알고리즘이 지역적 특성과 무관하게 가장 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

  • A method is proposed to predict the distances between given residue pairs (between C$\sub$${\alpha}$/ atoms) of a protein using a sequence to structure mapping by indefinite quadratic approximation. The prediction technique requires a data fitting in three dimensional space with coordinates of the residues of known structured proteins and leads to a numerical ref resentation of 20 amino acids by minimizing a large least norm iteratively. These approximations are used in distance prediction for given residue pairs. Some computational experience on a test set of small proteins from Brookhaven Protein Data Bank are given.

  • Let LK denote the hypothetical automorphic Langlands group of a number field K. In our recent study, we briefly introduced a certain unconditional non-commutative topological group ${\mathfrak{W}}{\mathfrak{A}}{\frac{\varphi}{K}}$, called the Weil-Arthur idèle group of K, which, assuming the existence of LK, comes equipped with a natural topological group homomorphism $NR{\frac{\varphi}{K}^{Langlands}}$ : ${\mathfrak{W}}{\mathfrak{A}}{\frac{\varphi}{K}}$ → LK that we called the "Langlands form" of the global nonabelian norm-residue symbol of K. In this work, we present a detailed construction of ${\mathfrak{W}}{\mathfrak{A}}{\frac{\varphi}{K}}$ and $NR{\frac{\varphi}{K}^{Langlands}}$ : ${\mathfrak{W}}{\mathfrak{A}}{\frac{\varphi}{K}}$ → LK, and discuss their basic properties.
