안질환이 없는 일산 거주 학생 163명 325안(초등학생 90명, 중학생 73명, 10.99± 2.08세, 2004년 기준)을 대상으로 조절마비하 자동굴절검사와 각막지형도 검사를 실시하여, 1년 동안의 변화도를 연령별(초등학생군과 중학생군) 및 굴절이상도별(근시군과 비근시군)로 분석하여 한국인에 적합한 콘택트렌즈의 설계와 제조 및 임상에서 콘택트렌즈를 피팅하는데 참고할만한 자료를 얻고자 하였다. 1년 동안 등가구면 굴절이상도는 -0.368±0.413D 근시 쪽으로 변화하였고(t=16.068, p=0.000), 1차 및 2차 측정에서 초등학생군과 중학생군의 평균 차이는 모두 유의하였으며(1차 측정: t=-3.696, p=0.000, 2차 측정: t=-3.016, p=0.003), 평균 변화도는 초등학생군에서 더 컸다(t=2.698, p=0.007). 근시군과 비근시군의 평균 변화도는 근시군에서 더 컸고(t=2.703, p=0.007), 초등학생군에서도 근시군에서 더 변화하였으며(t=3.002, p=0.003), 중학생군에서는 근시군의 변화도가 더 컸으나 유의성이 없었다(t=1.586, p=0.115). 30°반경의 비구면계수는 1차 및 2차 측정 모두 초등학생군과 중학생군 사이에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 평균 변화도는 중학생군에서 음(-)의 방향으로 좀 더 컸지만 유의성은 없었다(t=-1.711, p=0.088). 전체 대상에서 근시군의 변화도가 비근시군보다 더 컸고(t=1.873, p=0.062), 초등학생군에서도 근시군의 변화도가 더 컸으며(t=2.273, p=0.024), 중학생군에서는 비근시군에서 좀 더 변화하였지만 유의성은 없었다(t=-0.508, p=0.613). 전체 대상자의 각막 형상은 대부분 prolate 형상이었고, 비구면계수(Q)가 -0.4≤Q <-0.2의 범위에 해당하는 대상자의 분포가 가장 많았고, 중학생의 근시군에서 분포가 더 많은 것으로 조사되었다. 비구면계수는 근시군보다 비근시군에서 좀 더 양(+)의 방향인 값을 가졌으며, 비구면계수와 등가구면 굴절이상도의 변화는 상관성이 없었다(r=-0.035, p= 0.526).

본 연구는 미국에서 우리나라 전통과자인 한과의 판매 가능성과 수용여부를 파악하기 위해서 미국인 대학생을 대상으로 설문조사와 관능검사를 실시한 결과이다. 설문 시에는 적절한 양과 가격, 섭취경험, 구입의사 등에 대해서 조사하였고, 관능검사 시에는 다식, 산자, 약과, 엿강정에 대해서 색깔-모양- 냄새와 greasiness, sweetness, firmness, adhesiveness, crispiness, dryness, overall acceptance에 대해서 평가하였다. 관능검사 결과 약과는 greasiness 가 유의적으로 높았고(p<0.01), 산자와 엿강정은 crispiness 가 유의적으로 높게 조사되었다(p<0.01) 전체적인 수용도는 다식이 유의적으로 낮게 조사되었다(p<0.01). 조사대상자는 한과를 스낵(42.9%)으로 이용하겠다고 가장 많이 응답했다. 그러나 구입의사에 대한 항목에서는 시식 후 90.5% 가 구입의사가 없다고 응답했으므로 한과의 세계화를 위해서는 각 나라의 식문화를 고려하여 각 나라 사람들에게 친숙한 향과 맛을 첨가하여 제품을 생산할 필요가 있다고 사료된다.

Nuclear factor 1 (NFI) was discovered as a protein required for adenovirus DNA replication in vitro, but it is now clear that NFI protein plays an important role in the expression of many cellular genes. NFI-C null mice demonstrated aberrant odontoblast differentiation, abnormal dentin formation, and thus molar lacking roots while other tissues/or gans in the body, including ameloblasts appear to be unaffected and normal. However, little is known about the mechanism of NFI -C function in odontoblast differentiation and dentin formation. In this study, in order to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of odntoblast differentiation, we examined morphological characteristics of the aberrant odontoblast in NFI-C null mice. we also evaluate the expression of dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP) and bone sialoprotein (BSP) mRNAs in the MDPC-23 cells by northern analysis after over-expression and inactiγation of NFI -C into mouse MDPC-23 cells Odontoblasts of the NFI-C null mouse were round in shape, lost their polarity, organized as a sheet of cells, and trapped in osteodentin-like mineralized tissue. Abnormal odontoblasts of NFI-C null mouse revealed the absence of an intercellular junctional complex known as the t erminal webs. MDPC-23 cells started to express DSPP mRNA beginning from the postnatal day of 14 and showed a steady increase as differentiating into odontoblasts. Over-expression of NFI -C increased the expression of DSPP mRNA. Inactivation of NFI - C induced BSP mRNA expression. These results suggest that NFI-C plays an important role in odontoblast differentiation in a cell-type specific manner and thus in dentin formation

The spatial distribution of meteoroids or cometary debris along the orbit of the Earth is investigated by analyzing the meteoric records in the Chronicle of the Koryo dynasty (918-1392) which is called Koryosa. Sporadic meteors in this period show the seasonal variation in number, which is similar to the current meteors. We also found that there are a few spikes showing large accumulation of records around the same dates. We regard these spikes as meteor showers in the Koryo period. We compared the dates of meteor showers with those compiled from the historical records around the world including Korea, Japan, China, Arab, and European countries. We discovered three prominent showers and four weak showers. The prominent ones are the Leonids, the Perseids, and the Aquarids and the Orionids pair. The last pair is the remnants of Halley's comet. The astronomical records written in the history book of the Koryo dynasty are turned out to be accurate and written in a steady manner. We can also see that those records can be useful to contribute the development of modern astronomy and astrophysics.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the problems arising from the actual conditions of the Foodbank, and to implement the HACCP system as a solution in terms of increasing the safety of donated food within the Foodbank. In order to apply HACCP system, the entire Foodbank working process such as preparation, collection, transportation, division, and distribution was considered and analyzed to decide the application point for CCPs. Donated foods mainly consisted of processed foods, raw materials, lunch boxes, and cooked foods from mass catering establishments, which dominated over the others in terms of quantity. Cooked foods were divided into three groups based on menu-types and processing methods. Temperature, pH, and aw were measured on cooked foods, and Total Plate Count, Coliforms, E. coli, Salmonella spp., Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, and E. coli O157:H7 were conducted in order to apply a HACCP plan. From these experiments, temperature, pH, and aw of donated food were likely contributed to microbial growth. Donated foods before HACCP implementation showed high numbers in terms of total plate count and Coliforms, both well over the acceptable standard levels. By setting the CCPs on maintenance of donated food below 10℃ and using a 75℃ reheating method, microbiological hazard levels were able to be controlled and lowered. From these results, it is concluded that in order to guarantee food safety, foods donated to the Foodbank must not only maintain a reasonable level of initial microbiological growth, but also must be handled properly through time and temperature controls within the Foodbank system. Furthermore, in terms of implementing the HACCP plan within the Foodbank management structure, basic food safety and sanitation measures, such as reheating facilities and various cold chain systems such as refrigerated vehicle for food transportation are importantly needed. The training and education of Foodbank personnel and management in areas such as awareness of hygiene and safe food handling and practice are also required and necessary.

인삼엽을 식품소재로서의 이용 가능성을 모색하기 위하여 채엽시기별 인삼엽의 화학적 조성의 변화를 조사하였다. 음건한 인삼엽의 단백질 함량은 17.12∼14.26%로 채엽시기가 늦어지면서 단백질 함량은 점차 감소하였고 지방함량은 1.90∼2.49%로 약간 증가하였다. 인삼엽에 존재하는 유리당으로는 glucose, fructose, sucrose등이었고 maltose는 나타나지 않았으며 특히 sucrose함량은 채엽시기가 늦어지면 급격한 증가현상을 나타내었다. 유리아미노산 조성은 serine이 가장 많았으며 다음으로 valine 순이었고 총 유리아미노산 함량은 채엽시기가 늦어질수록 감소하였다. 인삼엽의 무기질 함량은 Ca가 1.306.1∼1, 923.2mg%, K가 1, 266.9∼1, 216.0mg%로서 특이하게 많았으며 Mg, P, Na, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu 순으로 풍부하였다. 채엽시기가 늦어짐에 따라 Ca, Mn 등의 함량은 현저히 증가한 반면 K, Mg, Na, Fe, Zn등의 함량은 감소하였다. 총 비타민 C함량은 391.0∼336.1mg%로 매우 풍부하였고 채엽시기가 늦어지면 감소하였다. 인삼엽의 지방산 조성은 palmatic acid가 40% 정도로 가장 많이 함유되었으며 linoleic acid, linolenic acid 순이었고 채엽시기가 늦어짐에 따라 불포화지방산의 함량은 약간 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다.

This research was attempted to investigate the sex bias in nutrition knowledge, food preference and food roles in the family. 152 couples living in Seoul, Cheonan in the 20s∼60s were selected for this research as subjects from October 1 to December 20, 1991. The data analysis was made by way of frequency, percentage, χ^2-test using SPSS package. The summarized results are as follows. 1. The survey on the sex bias in nutrition knowledge related heart disease on the subjects showed that there were no significant differences between men and women. But women had a relatively good nutrition knowledge than men. Especially women had a good nutrition knowledge that low sodium diet and exercise are efficient on preventing heart disease. 2. On the food preference, the subject showed significant difference between men and women. Men showed a relatively highest preference for protein food just as pork, fish, and tofu. Women showed a relatively highest preference for bread, fruit and vegetable. 3. On the food roles, the subjects showed that gender difference in household labor regarding food preparation still exit. Food-related activities are clearly still the domain of women in most families. Husbands and wives in younger families tended to think the husbands showed increase their efforts in food related activities.

This paper proposes an automated crack evaluation technique for a high-rise bridge pier using a climbing robot. The proposed technique enables to automatically detect and quantify the bridge pier cracks even where cannot easily access by human for visual inspection. To achieve it, high quality images are obtained by scanning the vision cameras embedded on the climbing robot along the bridge pier surface. Then, a feature extraction-based image stitching algorithm is newly developed and applied for establishing the entire region of interest (ROI) images. The ROI images are then processed with a semantic segmentation algorithm for automated crack detection. Finally, the detected cracks are precisely quantified by a crack quantification algorithm. The proposed technique is validated using in-situ test data obtained from Jang-Duck bridge located at Gangneung city, South Korea. The test results reveal that the proposed technique successfully evaluate the bridge pier cracks with precision of 90.92 % and recall of 97.47 %.

Since 2005 the landfilling of food waste has been prohibited, and many recycling facilities (private, domestic, animalfeed conversion, public composting) have been constructed and operated as waste-treatment centers. However, due to the negative attitude of users on the domestic animal feed and compost produced from food waste, the byproducts of waste have created a vicious cycle, needing treatment themselves. In addition, the London Convention prohibited the discharge of organic waste such as sewage sludge into the ocean in 2012 and of food-waste leachate in 2013. An alternative to landfilling and incineration is to treat biomass with anaerobic digestion. However, the anaerobic-digestion efficiency of the Daejeon City bioenergy facility, which has adopted a mixed digestion process of food waste and food waste leachate, has not been reproduced in other municipalities due to a misunderstanding of anaerobic digestion and a lack of operating skill. Thus, the anaerobic-digestion efficiency of the bioenergy facility in Deajeon is analyzed, and it provides basic information for the anaerobic co-digestion of organic wastes.

For high-quality colored rice production, the cultivation environment is a critical factor. The major environmental factor is temperature, which includes the accumulated and average temperature during vegetative and reproductive stages. Generally, during the cultivation period, the temperature can be controlled by shifting the transplanting date. This study was carried out to determine the optimum transplanting date for high-quality red-colored rice production. Four red-colored rice varieties (Jeokjinju, Jeokjinjuchal, Hongjinju, and Gunganghongmi) were used as test materials. The transplanting dates were May 20 and June 5, 20, and 30 in 2015~2016. The most variable factor controlled by the transplanting date was the grain filling rate. The varieties transplanted on June 30 showed low yields owing to the decrease in the grain filling rate. In contrast, the polyphenol content increased with increasing delay in the transplanting date. Collectively, these two results indicate that the optimum transplanting date was June 20. The average temperature for 30 days after the heading date (30DAH) highly affected the polyphenol content. A lower temperature during the 30DAH induced higher polyphenol contents but also caused low yield. The optimum 30DAH temperature for obtaining a higher yield and polyphenol content was 22~23°C. Using the average 30DAH and accumulated temperatures, the optimum transplanting date was calculated as June 18 to 24 in Miryang region. The optimum transplanting date of Kyeungsangnamdo region was approximately mid-June to early July, and that of Kyeungsangbukdo region was approximately early to mid-June.

‘Nunkeunheugchal’ is a waxy black rice variety that has a large embryo. The quality of black rice depends on the anthocyanin content of the rice seed coat, which is mainly determined by cultivation environment. Factors that affect the anthocyanin content include nitrogen level, planting density, transplanting date and harvesting date. This study was carried out to investigate the optimum black rice cultivation conditions by examining the effects of different nitrogen levels and planting densities. An initial study was conducted to determine the optimum nitrogen level in which four levels of nitrogen were applied to the field (0, 4, 8 and 12 kg/10a). As the nitrogen contents were increased up to 8 kg/10a, there was a concomitant increase in rice yields. However, nitrogen levels greater than 8 kg/10a, the yield was maintained at the same level. Correlation analysis indicated that the optimum nitrogen level for maximum yield was 9.6 kg/10a. In addition, anthocyanin levels showed a trend similar to that of yield, with correlation analysis indicating that the optimum nitrogen level for maximum anthocyanin content is 10.6 kg/10a.On the basis of these results, a second study was conducted to determine the optimum combination of planting density and nitrogen level. The planting densities investigated were 30 × 12, 30 × 14, 30 × 16cm and nitrogen levels were 7, 9 and 12 kg/10a. A high planting density (30 × 12cm) was shown to produce higher numbers of tillers and yield. As calculated in the first study, a nitrogen level of 9 kg/10a shown to produce the highest anthocyanin content and yield. Collectively, the results of this study indicate that a planting density of 30 × 12 cm and a nitrogen level of 9 kg/10a is the optimal combination in terms of maximizing both rice yield and anthocyanin content.

Germination characteristics, seedling emergence, and early seedling growth of iron-coated rice seeds, cultivars Daebo and Samdeokbyeo, under different water depths were compared with those of non-coated seeds (control) and the results evaluated to obtain basic information for establishing stable seedlings in direct water seeding. The total germination percentage of the two seed treatments was similar, but iron-coated seeds had slightly faster germination and shorter mean germination time than non-coated seeds. Water absorption rates of iron-coated seeds were lower than that of non-coated seeds during seed germination. The germination percentage of the two iron-coated rice seed cultivars showed a significant decline of 15-22% after one year of storage under natural conditions. The seedling emergence percentage and uniformity of the two rice cultivars were significantly higher in the iron-coated seeds at 1-13 cm water depths but the percentage of floating seedlings was lower in iron-coated seeds than in non-coated seeds. The iron-coated seeds had a high seedling emergence percentage of 91.3-93.3% at all flooding depths whereas the non-coated seeds had a significantly low seedling emergence percentage of 57.7-71.7% at a water depth of 13 cm. Moreover, the shoot dry weight and seedling health score of iron-coated seeds were significantly higher than those of non-coated seeds, while root dry weights were similar in iron-coated and non-coated seeds, regardless of water depth. These results suggest that iron-coated seeds are more appropriate for stable seedling establishment in direct water seeding than are non-coated seeds.

본 연구에서는 온라인 네트워크를 이용하여 화산재해 대응 국제협력 네트워크 기반 구축의 방안에 대해 제시하였다. 백두산은 2002년 이후 화산활동 재개 가능성에 대해 주목받고 있는 화산이다. 지리적으로는 중국과 북한령에 해당하나 실제 화산분화가 이루어질 경우 우리나라는 물론 아시아 지역의 여러 국가에 피해가 있을 것으로 예측되고 있다. 이와 같이 화산활동으로 인한 재해발생 상황에 대응해야하는 필요성이 있음에도 불구하고 국내에는 화산 전문가가 부족한 실정이며, 국제적인 활동 및 국제적 네트워크 구축 또한 미비한 상황이다. 이에 홈페이지를 통한 다양한 서비스를 제공함으로서 국제협력 네트워크 기반구축이라는 연구수행 목적을 달성하기 위한 하나의 활용 도구로서 온라인 네트워크를 개발하였다. 온라인 네트워크의 주요 기능으로는 화산폭발 및 위기상황 시 전문가들이 모여 논의 할 수 있는 공간 제공, 평상 시 자유롭게 의견을 교류할 수 있는 공간 제공, 화산 재해 대응 및 방재 관련 컨텐츠 제공을 들 수 있다. 이러한 온라인 네트워크를 통해 국제적으로 유기적인 연계 및 정보 공유와 더불어 단순한 국내 네트워크를 벗어나 해외 전문가들과의 최신정보 및 기술교류를 활성화하고, 국내 전문가의 역량을 세계적으로 홍보하며, 국제적 네트워크 형성 및 정보 교류의 장이 될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
