Until recently, molecular detection method for Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Bx) infesting pine trees and killing themhas been developed several ways such as RFLP, Real-time PCR and LAMP. However, these were not only time-consumingprocess but also could not confirm the result in a short time. Furthermore, these methods also need thermo cycler orthermostat which are not portable and inexpensive. For above reasons, we had been developed the detection method forBx remaining in the pinewood chips without using electronic devices. In this study, we had used DUNT buffer that isable to extract genome DNA from Bx in the pinewood within 10 min and isothermal amplification that could be amplifiedthe specific DNA fragment of Bx at 37 ℃ for 10 min. As a result, our method is able to confirm the presence or absenceof Bx in pine trees within 20 min and could be used in the field as it does not require the electronic devices.

A few importers of marine products has practiced ice glazing of frozen fish and forced water injection into small octopus to increase their weight. These rampant practices have recently become a serious social issue. Therefore, this study was conducted to develop non-destructive detection methods for verifying forced water injected frozen small octopus using dielectric properties. The weight and dielectric properties of live small octopuses imported from China were measured using an electronic scale and dielectric probe connected with vector network analyzer, respectively. The frequency range from 0.5 to 4 GHz was used for measurement of dielectric properties of small octopus samples. The moisture contents of live small octopuses were determined by convection drying at 105°C for 24 h. To increase weight of small octopus samples, each sample was placed in a container including 2% polyphosphate solution of 800 mL and was kept for 24 h in a refrigerator. Then, the sample was removed from the solution and was frozen at -35°C for 24 h. The moisture contents of live small octopuses were 81.6 ± 1.9% (wb). Regardless of weight of live small octopuses, dielectric constant (ε′) and dielectric loss factor (ε′′) were from 76.09 to 58.62 and from 101.95 to 28.72, respectively. The average weight gain of small octopuses immersed in the solution was approximately 40.6%. Dielectric constant (ε′) and dielectric loss factor (ε′′) of forced water injected small were from 78.18 to 66.71 and from 51.96 to 25.05, respectively. In addition, there was a significant difference between dielectric properties and penetration depth of fresh frozen and forced water injected frozen small octopuses. The results clearly showed that dielectric properties of small octopuses affected by moisture contents could be an important factor to detect forced water injected frozen small octopuses.

두 종류의 Cronobacter 선택배지(DFI agar, R&F agar) 의 분유 및 건조호박 내 Cronobacter의 선택 분리능을 realtime PCR법과 함께 비교하였다. 분유에서의 Cronobacter 검출률은 세 가지 방법에서 유의적인 차이를 나타내지 않았으나(p < 0.05), 건조호박의 경우 R&F배지와 real-time PCR법이 DFI에서보다 유의적으로 높은 검출률을 보였다 (p < 0.05). 배지 간 선택성에 있어서도, R&F 선택배지는 건조호박에서 DFI에 비해 유의적으로 높은 선택성을 나타냈다(p < 0.05). Real-time PCR 및 R&F배지의 사용은 분유뿐만 아니라, 건조 호박 등의 높은 경쟁세균총을 갖는 영유아식의 원료로 사용될 수 있는 식품군에서도 Cronobacter를 효과적으로 검출할 수 있는 방법으로 사료된다.

There are many other detection methods for Bursaphelenchus xylophilus. However, Baermann funnel method, PCR-based methods, which are laborious and time consuming processes that are unsuitable to rapid diagnose the Pine Wilt Disease (PWD) on the field. For these reasons, the aim of our experiment is not only to apply field diagnostic for pine wood nematode (PWN) but also to reduce total time for detection PWN in the pine trees by loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) with phosphate (Pi)-induced coloration reaction which could be yes or no answer for detection of PWN has not required UV detector but it just could be discriminated by naked eyes within 30 min. Genomic DNA was directly extracted from pine wood chips by Wood Chips Direct Lysis procedure which can be used for LAMP only after simple dilution. Our results suggest that LAMP-Pi detection method, simple and rapid method for detection of PWN, could be applied to the field diagnostic for PWD.

Coffee is one of the most popular beverages all over the world. As the great demand of this product, adulteration coffee are distributed in market mixing fraud materials such as soybean, coffee husk, wheat, rice, corn, malt and barley. But there are no analytical methods for detecting the adulterated coffee. Monosaccharides(mannose, rhamnose, glucose, galactose, xylose, arabinose), trigonelline, nicotinic acid as representative components of coffees can be used as chemical indices to qualitatively and quantitatively assess coffee authenticity. This study carried out on new analytical resources for detection of ground roasted coffee adulteration, investigating model system with roasted soybean, coffee husk, wheat, rice, corn, malt and barley as materials of fraud. It could be concluded that this method was efficient in discriminating different matrixes. Most monosaccharides, trigonelline, nicotinic acids were significant in 5%(w/w) mixed fraud material (p<0.05). These results correspond to monosaccharides, trigonelline, nicotinic acids of pure raw materials, confirming this use as a usefuldetection method of food adulterants in ground roasted coffee.

It is difficult to identification between Bursaphelenchus spp. and Pine Wood Nematode (PWN) by morphological characteristics without expertise about nematode taxonomy. Furthermore, Baermann funnel method, which is nematode extraction method from wood chips or soil, requires at least 24 hours to extract nematode that is unsuitable to rapid diagnose the Pine Wilt Disease (PWD). For these reasons, the aim of this experiment is not only to improve accuracy of a PCR based method but also to reduce total experiment time for detection Bursaphelenchus spp. and PWN in the wood chips of PWD infected pine tree. In this experiment, we had been employed two PCR primer sets, which were originated from PWN specific Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) sequence region and Bursaphenchus spp. universal mitochondrial Cytocrome Oxidase subunit I (mtCOI) sequence region in order to discrimination between Bursaphelenchus spp. and PWN at the same PCR reaction. This experimental procedure was able to reduce experiment time and cost as well as to improve accuracy of detection than previous PCR based detecting method by not using Baermann funnel method and commercial genomic DNA extraction kit but using direct pine wood chips lysis method.

IR camera has been used widely for the temperature measurement and fault detection of the moving bodies and rotating bodies. The high-speed performance of the IR camera and a reliable thermal analysis method are required for the condition monitoring of the railway vehicle running at high speed. The effective fault detection method using a thermal image analysis could make a real time monitoring of the high speed train possible. Therefore the investigation of the performance of the thermal image analysis method was performed to find the effective thermal image data analysis method. The results suggested that the comparison of the characteristics of the temperatures obtained at different conditions and a continuous temperature subtraction method could be used as a useful analysis method for detecting abnormal temperature condition and histogram equalization could also help to enhance the fault detectability by increasing the contrast of the thermal image

PVY (Potyviridae: potyvirus) is one of the most important potato virus affecting seed potato production and also it is transmitted non-persistently via aphids. For healthy seed potato production, a virus detection system is highly important in addition to aphid monitoring and control. To achieve this detection method, it need to fast and easy to use. About two decades ago RT-PCR based PVY detection method was developed. However that was very time consuming and has low sensitivity. Here, we developed an advanced PVY detection method which a uses the boiling extraction of the viral RNA from aphid stylet and amplification by specific primers located in the viral capsid protein gene. Therefore, it could directly synthesize cDNA of PVY viral capsid gene from extracted RNA of PVY using one-step RT-PCR method in very short time compared to previous methods due to the omission of RNA extraction step. We confirmed this PVY detection method using the two aphid species (Macrosiphum euphorbiae and Aphis gossypii) that known as PVY vectors. The efficiency of this PVY detection method was 60% to 80% from two the aphid species. Hence, this method could be potentially applied to virus free seed potato production programs.

Since airborne fungi have been known to aggravate indoor air quality, studies on developing anti-fungal filters increase recently. In this study, silver (Ag) nanoparticle was selected as anti-fungal agent. HEPA filter was coated with silver nanoparticles which were generated via spark discharge system operating at atmospheric pressure and temperature. The anti-fungal effect of the Ag-filter was evaluated with the conventional culture assay. When the number of Ag nano particle per a fungal particle in the filter was 1.91X106, the fungicidal efficiency was higher than 99%. As another anti-fungal test, ATP bioluminiscence detection method was also carried out and the results were correlated with those of the culture assay.

Delamination crack detection is very important for improving the structural reliability of laminated composite structures. This requires real-time delamination detection technologies. For composite laminates that are reinforced with carbon fiber, an electrical potential method uses carbon fiber for reinforcements and sensors at the same time. The use of carbon fiber for sensors does not need to consider the strength reduction of smart structures induced by imbedding sensors into the structures. With carbon fiber reinforced (CF/) epoxy matrix composites, it had been proved that the delamination crack was detected experimentally. In the present study, therefore, similar experiments were conducted to prove the applicability of the method for delamination crack detection of CF/polyetherethereketone matrix composite laminates. Mode I and mode II delamination tests with artificial cracks were conducted, and three point bending tests without artificial cracks were conducted. This study experimentally proves the applicability of the method for detection of delamination cracks. CF/polyetherethereketone material has strong electric resistance anisotropy. For CF/polyetherethereketone matrix composites, a carbon fiber network is constructed, and the network is broken by propagation of delamination cracks. This causes a change in the electric resistance of CF/polyetherethereketone matrix composites. Using three point bending specimens, delamination cracks generated without artificial initial cracks is proved to be detectable using the electric potential method: This method successfully detected delamination cracks.

가까운 거리에서 상대선과의 마주치는 상황 또는 교차된 상황에서 상호 피항동작을 취하게 되는데, 상대선박의 변침의도를 정확히 파악하지 못해 서로 같은 방향으로 피항동작을 취함으로써 충돌위험에 처하게 되기도 한다. 항해사는 피항동작을 취함에 있어 시각에 의한 판단, 레이더 또는 AIS 벡터를 이용한 판단, 또는 VHF 통신을 활용하여 피항동작을 취하고 있으나, 레이더 및 AIS를 이용한 기존의 방식은 선박이 선회 후 선수방위가 표시되기 때문에 선회를 탐지하기까지는 상당한 시간이 요구된다. 따라서 조타기 작동 신호를 상대선박에 신속하게 전달하여 상대선의 선회의도를 보다 신속히 판단할 수 있는 선회조기감지 방안을 제안하였다. 이러한 방법은 상대선의 변침의도를 보다 신속하게 파악함으로써 선박 상호간 충돌예방에 효과적이며, VTS 시스템 및 해양사고 분석에서 활용이 가능하다.

In this study, ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase (rbcL), RNApolymeraseC (rpoC1), intergenic spacer (psbA-trnH), and second internal transcribed spacer (ITS2) as identification markers for discrimination of P. mirifica in foods were selected. To be primer design, we obtained 719 bp, 520 bp, 348 bp, and 507 bp amplicon using universal primers from selected regions of P. mirifica. The regions of rbcL, rpoC1, and psbA-trnH were not proper for design primers because of high homology about P. mirifica, P. lobata, and B. superba. But, we had designed 4 pairs of oligonucleotide primers from ITS2 gene. Predicted amplicon from P. mirifica were obtained 137 bp and 216 bp using finally designed primers SFI12-miri-6F/SFI12-miri-7R and SFI12-miri-6F/SFI12-miri-8R, respectively. The species-specific primers distinguished P. mirifica from related species were able to apply food materials and processed foods. The developed PCR method would be applicable to food safety management for illegally distributed products in markets and internet shopping malls.
