This study examined the physicochemical properties of radish pickle containing different natural preservatives (grapefruit seed extract, green tea extract, rosemary, or olive) stored for 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks. The hardness and color of the radish pickles with the grapefruit seed extract was higher than the other radish pickles during storage from week 0 to week 4. A 14.52% and 13.80% decrease in hardness and color were observed in the radish pickles with grapefruit seed extract (GFE), respectively. In addition, the total phenolic content was highest in the GFE in natural preservatives. Based on the results, GFE was selected as the optimal natural preservatives, and the growth of total viable bacteria and yeast were evaluated. The total viable bacteria and yeast showed similar patterns to the control. These results are expected to be useful in producing radish pickles with optimal quality and contribute to the development of various foods in the food industry.

탄소 양자점 (CQDs, Carbon Quantum Dots)은 크기에 따라 광 물리적 특성이 다르게 나타나는 소재로 각광을 받고 있지만 용매의 호환성과 화학적 안정성은 개선해야 할 문제로 남아있다. 따라서 CQDs에 여러 소수성 기능기를 도 입하여 고분자 미셀 내부에 들어갈 수 있도록 표면을 개질하였다. 탄소 양자점이 함유된 고분자 미셀의 광 물리적 특성은 흡광, 형광 분광법으로 측정하였다.

In this study, structural characteristics were analyzed by combining gravity load and lateral loads such as seismic loads through static analysis of example structures, and the static characteristics of the twisted structure according to the plane rotation angle were also analyzed. Example structures were selected as regular structure, and twisted structures; 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 degree angle of rotation per story, and static analysis was performed by the load combination case 1 and case 2. As a result the story drift ratio of the twisted-shaped structure also increased as the plane rotation angle per story increased. The eccentricity according to the load combination was the highest in the lower stories of all analysis models, and the eccentricity was found to be larger as the rotation angle decreased. The twisted-shaped structure was more responsible for the bending moment of the column than the regular structure, and the vertical member axial force of all analysis models was almost similar.

In this study, a tuned mass damper(TMD) was installed to control the displacement response to earthquakes by generalizing to six analysis models according to the shape of the upper structure based on the case of various large spatial structures around the world. The six analysis models are ribbed type, latticed type, elliptical type, gable type, barrel type, and stadium type composed of 3D arch trusses. In this paper, ribbed type, latticed type and elliptical type were analyzed. The mass of each TMD was set to 1% of the total structural mass. Result of analyzing the optimal number and position of the analysis model, the displacement response control was the most excellent in the model with 6 and 8 TMDs, and the displacement response decreased in most cases. The displacement response control was better with installing the TMD at the edge point than focusing the TMD at the center of the analysis model. However, when 10 or more TMDs are installed or concentrated in the center, large loads intensively act on the structure, resulting in increased displacement. Therefore, although it is slightly different depending on the shape, it is judged that the displacement response control is the best to install 6 and 8 TMDs at the close to the edge point.

Oxide semiconductor, represented by a-IGZO, has been commercialized in the market as active layer of TFTs of display backplanes due to its various advantages over a-Si. a-IGZO can be deposited at room temperature by RF magnetron sputtering process; however, additional thermal annealing above 300oC is required to obtain good semiconducting properties and stability. These temperature are too high for common flexible substrates like PET, PEN, and PI. In this work, effects of microwave annealing time on IGZO thin film and associated thin-film transistors are demonstrated. As the microwave annealing time increases, the electrical properties of a-IGZO TFT improve to a degree similar to that during thermal annealing. Optimal microwave annealed IGZO TFT exhibits mobility, SS, Vth, and VH of 6.45 cm2/Vs, 0.17 V/dec, 1.53 V, and 0.47 V, respectively. PBS and NBS stability tests confirm that microwave annealing can effectively improve the interface between the dielectric and the active layer.

The objective of this study was to determine chemical compositions affecting the physical and thermal properties of the textured vegetable protein (TVP). The 14 commercial TVPs were pulverized, followed by analyzing their morphology, chemical composition, water absorption index (WAI) and water solubility index (WSI) (for the pulverized and original TVPs), solubility, swelling power, melting property, and hardness. All TVPs showed the rough surface with irregular cracks and pores and the porous structure with varied pore sizes. WAI was positively correlated to moisture and crude protein contents and negatively correlated to the total carbohydrate content. WSI and solubility were directly and reversely influenced by the crude ash and total carbohydrate contents and the crude protein and total starch contents, respectively. The swelling power and melting temperature of TVPs did not significantly affect chemical compositions. Melting enthalpies increased with crude ash content, while decreased with the total starch content. The hardness of the rehydrated TVPs was enhanced with their crude ash and total carbohydrate contents, whereas reduced with their crude protein and total starch contents. Overall, the yield and texture of the rehydrated TVP could be modulated with the crude protein and ash contents of TVP.

This study compares the amygdalin content and quality characteristics of maesil chung prepared with different maesil cultivars. Maesil fruits were sugared for 3 months, aged for 3 months after the liquid separation, and heat treated at 75oC for 30 min. Amygdalin in maesil chung generally peaked at the second month of sugaring and gradually decreased until three months of sugaring. During the first month of aging, amygdalin dramatically decreased and then gradually decreased by additional aging for two months. For the end-use maesil chungs (subjected to heat treatment), the amygdalin content ranged from 68.5 to 179.4 ppm, the soluble solid content from 58.8 to 62.3 oBrix, and the 5-HMF from 3.5 to 13.4 ppm. Their color characteristics exhibited a brightness of 26.8-27.6, a redness of 9.4-10.5, and a yellowness of 5.3-6.9. Their total sugar content was in 34.2-44.7%, consisting of 1.8-2.1 mg/mL glucose, 1.6-2.0 mg/mL fructose, and 1.3-1.9 mg/mL sucrose. Only malic acid and citric acid were detected in the enduse maesil chungs. While the trace amounts of Na and Fe were found, K, P, and Ca were relatively rich.

This study surveyed Chinese elderly consumers to determine their purchasing behavior, importance, and satisfaction with HMR products in China. Three hundred and seventy people were surveyed: 184 males and 186 females aged 55 to 70 years. Two hundred and sixty-seven (72.25%) of the surveyed consumers had an average monthly income of 6,000 yuan or less, and 313 (84.9%) responded that they spend 3000 yuan or less on groceries per month. Three hundred and fortyeight (94.1%) showed a high interest in health management. Regarding the frequency of purchasing HMR products, most responded that they purchased HMR products more than once or twice a week, with a single purchase of 100 yuan or less for each purchase. The respondents preferred 2 or 3 serving packagings in a refrigerated form. For all forms of products, those made as in-house meals, outdoor meals, as a snack or night snack, for serving guests, for trips, camping, and on-thego products, the participants mostly responded that they frequently purchased the product. When purchasing HMR products, the importance of hygiene, convenience in purchase accessibility, the freshness of ingredients, and an indication of the nutritional content were considered as a high rank. After purchase, the satisfaction of SNS and mobile application advertisements and promotions, amount per serving, take out convenience, and new menu were considered low-rank. The IPA results showed that marking the origin of the ingredients and new menu are areas needing improvement. The study results may be used as base data for developing elderly friendly HMR products and establishing its marketing strategies.

글로벌화가 진행됨에 따라 외래생물에 대한 문제가 점점 커지고 있으며, 전 세계적인 규모로 확대되고 있다. 국내의 경우, 야생에서 서식하는 외래종 중 외래거북이 발견되는 사례가 빠르게 증가하고 있다. 1970년대 처음으로 수입된 붉은귀거북 (Trachemys scripta elegans)을 포함하여, 15여 종의 외래거북이 최근 국내 야생에서 확인되었다. 게다가, 2019년 10월 15일, 광주광역시에 위치한 풍암천에서 악어거북(Macrochelys temminckii) 한 개체가 발견되었다. 외래생물 관련 문제가 커지는 시기에 큰 크기와 공격적인 성향을 가진 악어거북의 발견 사례는 큰 이슈가 되었으며, 다수의 대중매체를 통해 기사화되 었다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 악어거북 발견 기사에 달린 댓글(의견)들을 통해 대중들이 가지고 있는 외래생물에 대한 인식을 알아보고자 하였다. 악어거북 기사에 달린 댓글은 총 1,100개였다. 그 중 342개(31.1%)가 외래생물과 연관성을 보였다. 연관성이 있었던 글(n=342) 중 외래생물이 문제가 될 것이라는 댓글은 전체의 97.7%(n=334)였다. 외래생물이 문제가 되는 이유(n=42)에는 생태계교란(n=31, 73.8%)과 공격성(n=11, 26.2%)이 포함되었다. 외래생물 침입 문제가 발생하는 원인으로는 책임감 부재(n=122, 51.7%)가 가장 많이 언급되었으며, 무분별한 수입 및 거래(n=99, 42.0%), 관련 제도 부재(n=13, 5.5%), 처리 방법의 부재(n=2, 0.8%)가 뒤를 이었다. 대중은 외래생물 문제를 해결하기 위한 방안(n=129)으로 등록제(animal registration)의 필요성(n=59, 45.7%)을 가장 많이 언급하였다. 본 연구를 통해 대중이 외래생물에 대한 심각성을 인식하고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 확인한 외래생물에 대한 대중들의 인식과 의견은 연구자와 정부가 충분히 참고할 필요가 있으며, 추후 외래생물의 관리를 위한 정책 방향을 설정하는데 중요한 근거가 될 것이다.

본 연구에서는 점근해석 및 논로컬 이론에서 요구하는 4차 이상의 고차 미분근사를 수행하기 위하여 계방정식에 혼합변분이론을 적용하여 MLS 차분법으로부터 구해지는 고차 미분근사의 정확도를 큰 폭으로 향상시킨다. 또한, MLS 차분법에 존재하는 세 가지 조건변수에 따른 고차미분근사의 정확도를 비교·분석한다. 혼합변분이론의 합응력을 후처리하여 변위의 미분을 근사할 경우 기존의 변위장 기반 계방정식의 차분 결과에 비해 미분 차수가 2차 낮아진다. 해석 범위내 절점 수가 과도하게 많거나 기저 차수가 클 경우 MLS 차분법의 영향영역 내에서 과적합(overfitting)이 발생한다. 또한 영향영역이 최적 범위 이상으로 넓어질 경우 근사의 정확도가 떨어진다. 위 내용을 사인 하중을 받는 단순지지보 수치예제로부터 확인하였다.
