The 'Misomi' is a rice variety derived from a cross between ‘Sobi’ which has adaptability of low fertilizer cultivation and SR21110 (Ilpum/Jinbu19) by the rice breeding team at National Institute of Crop Science, RDA in 2013. The heading date of ‘Misomi’ is August 14 and six days later than check variety, ‘Hwaseong’. It has 83 cm of culm length and 121 spikelets per panicle. It showed weaker cold tolerance than that of ‘Hwaseong’ during exposed to cold stress. ‘Misomi’ showed resistance to blast disease, K1, K2 and K3 race of bacterial blight and stripe virus, but susceptibility to K3a race, other viruses and planthoppers. The milled rice of this variety exhibits translucent, clear non-glutinous endosperm and short grain shape. It has low protein content (6.2%) and similar amylose content (19.4%) to that of ‘Hwaseong’. ‘Misomi’ showed better palatability index of cooked rice than that of ‘Hwaseong’. Particulary, ‘Misomi’ showed excellent processing adaptability than ‘Chucheong’ and ‘Hwaseong’ on palatability index of cold and aseptic cooked rice. Its milled rice recovery rate is similar to those of ‘Hwaseong’. However, whole grain rate of milled rice is higher than that of ‘Hwaseong’. 'Misomi' has 5.68 MT/ha of milled rice productivity in ordinary cultivation, which was 12% higher than that of ‘Hwaseong’. 'Misomi' could be adaptable to the middle plain area and Midwest coast area in Korea (Grant No. 5635).

A soybean cultivar for soy-paste, ‘Uram’, was developed from the cross between ‘Suwon190’ and ‘SS99244’ (Shinpaldal-2 X T243) by soybean breeding team at the National Institute of Crop Science (NICS) in 2010. A promising line, SS00232-B-B-3SSD-9-4-1-1, was selected and designated as the name of ‘Milyang188’. It was prominent and had good result from regional adaptation yield trials (RYT) in southern area of Korea for three years from 2008 to 2010 and released as the name of ‘Uram’. It has a determinate growth habit, white flower, gray pubescence, yellow seed coat, yellow hilum, spherical seed shape and large seed (25.8 grams per 100 seeds). ‘Uram’ was found to be resistant to bacterial pustule and soybean mosaic virus, the major soybean diseases in Korea. The lowest pod height of ‘Uram’ was 19cm and it will be able to reduce seed loss during mechanical harvesting. The average yield of ‘Uram’ is 3.27 ton per hectare in southern double cropping area. Through these results, ‘Uram’ is soybean cultivar that is favorable for mechanization harvesting, resistant to diseases and highly yield.

The 12 cultivars of the Jeju native Citrus are considered to have originated from China. However, the origin of the cultivar ‘Byungkyool’ (Citrus platymamma Hort. ex Tanaka) is not clearly known. We performed PCR analysis by using three primer sets designed from the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) to analyze the phylogenetic relationship between the traditional citrus cultivars and the Byungkyool cultivar. Sequence length of the nrDNA ITS1 region of JNCPCRI (Jeju Native Citrus platymamma Citrus Research Institute) cultivar was 247 bp, 8the ITS2 region was 228 bp and the total ITS region (ITS1-5.8S-ITS2) was 638 bp. Analysis of the genetic relationship based on the sequence analysis at the ITS region of the JNCPCRI cultivar revealed that the ITS1 region of the cultivar was genetically the same as that of the Byungkyool (JQ990189) cultivar, and the ITS2 region was genetically similar to the Binkyool (JQ990180), Hongkyool (JQ990178), Dangyooja (JQ990179), and Pyunkyool (JQ990181) cultivars. Moreover, the total ITS region in the 5.8S rDNA region was genetically similar to the Hongkyool (JQ990178) cultivar. In addition, the total ITS region of the JNCPCRI cultivar was the most closely related to the Cheongkyool (JQ990183) cultivar and has been reported to originate from the Binkyool (JQ990180) and Pyunkyool (JQ990181) cultivars. Although the JNCPCRI cultivar was morphologically the same as the Byungkyool (JQ990189) cultivar, the ITS region showed genetic heterogeneity. Taken together, we conclude that the genetic variation in the ITS region of JNCPCRI cultivar suggests that it was propagated through fertilization with the surrounding citrus cultivars.

철근 콘크리트 구조물의 철근에 대한 부식을 발생시키는 다양한 유해 열화인자 중 염화물 이온(Cl-)은 침투로 인한 확산속도가 빠 르고, 철근에 직접적으로 관여하여 부식을 야기시켜 매우 중요한 열화원인이다. 대형 콘크리트 구조물의 타설에서 불가피하게 발생하는 콜드 조인트는 전단력에 취약하여, 이는 내구적 열화에 대한 피해를 증가시키는 경향을 보인다. 본 연구에서는 콜드조인트를 가진 OPC(Ordinary Portland Cement) 콘크리트와 GGBFS(Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag) 염화물 촉진 실험으로 염화물 확산계수를 정량적으로 평가하였 다. GGBFS 콘크리트에서는 6.6×10-12 m2/sec의 확산계수가 측정되었는데. 이는 OPC 콘크리트에 비하여 약 30% 수준의 낮은 확산계수값을 나 타내었으며, 콜드조인트를 가진 콘크리트에서도 비슷한 경향이 관측되었다. OPC 건전부 콘크리트에 비하여 GGBFS 콘크리트의 염화물 확산 계수는 건전부에서 0.30배, 콜드조인트부에서 0.39배 정도의 우수한 염해 저항성을 나타내었다.

To analyze human thermal environments in protected horticultural houses (plastic houses), human thermal sensations estimated using measured microclimatic data (air temperature, humidity, wind speed, and solar and terrestrial radiation) were compared between an outdoor area and two indoor plastic houses, a polyethylene (PE) house and a polycarbonate (PC) house. Measurements were carried out during the daytime in autumn, a transient season that exhibits human thermal environments ranging from neutral to very hot. The mean air temperature and absolute humidity of the houses were 14.6-16.8℃ (max. 22. 3℃) and 7.0-12.0 g∙m-3 higher than those of the outdoor area, respectively. Solar (K) and terrestrial (L) radiation were compared directionally from the sky hemisphere (↓) and the ground hemisphere (↑). The mean K↓ and K↑ values for the houses were respectively 232.5-367.8 W∙m-2 and 44.9-55.7 W∙m-2 lower than those in the outdoor area; the mean L↓ and L↑ values were respectively 150.4-182.3 W∙m-2 and 30.5-33.9 W∙m-2 higher than those in the outdoor area. Thus, L was revealed to be more influential on the greenhouse effect in the houses than K. Consequently, mean radiant temperature in the houses was higher than the outdoor area during the daytime from 10:45 to 14:15. As a result, mean human thermal sensation values in the PMV, PET, and UTCI of the houses were respectively 3.2-3.4℃ (max. 4.7℃), 15.2-16.4℃ (max. 23.7℃) and 13.6-15.4℃ (max. 22.3℃) higher than those in the outdoor area. The heat stress levels that were influenced by human thermal sensation were much higher in the houses (between hot and very hot) than in the outdoor (between neutral and warm). Further, the microclimatic component that most affected the human thermal sensation in the houses was air temperature that was primarily influenced by L↓. Therefore, workers in the plastic houses could experience strong heat stresses, equal to hot or higher, when air temperature rose over 22℃ on clear autumn days.

게임 애플케이션에서 사용하는 데이터의 크기가 점차 커짐에 따라 물리적인 게임 서버 자원은 점차 늘어 가고 있다. 이에 따라 서버의 I/O 성능을 향상시키기 위해 게임 서버에 I/O 가상화 기술 을 도입하고자 하는 요구가 점차 증가하고 있다. 그러나, I/O 지연 시간이 수시로 변하는 게임 서버 는 I/O 응답성을 쉽게 보장하기가 힘들다. I/O 가상화 효과를 극대화하기 위해 I/O 응답성 보장은 매우 중요하며 가상 머신의 우선순위에 따라 I/O 지연 시간을 관리할 수 있는 I/O 스케줄링 기법이 반드시 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 가상화 환경에서 최대 I/O 지연 시간을 보장하는 효율적인 지연 제약 스케줄링 기법을 제안한다. 또한 제안한 기법을 이용하여 지연시간을 보장하는지 실험을 하여, 패킷의 손실량이 줄고 스케줄링의 공정성이 증가한 것을 확인하였다.

Four bacterial blight resistance genes, Xa1+Xa3+xa5+Xa21, pyramid elite japonica rice lines were developed for enhancing the resistance of rice against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae in Korea. Seven doubled haploid (RDL1-7) and ten F6 lines (RPL1-10) having Xa1+Xa3+xa5+Xa21 which were derived from the cross between Ilmi, high grain quality japonica rice cultivar carrying Xa1, and Iksan575, elite line carrying Xa3+xa5+Xa21, were developed using marker-assisted selection for resistance genes and phenotypic selection for bacterial blight resistance and agronomic traits. Among resistance genes combinations in F2 population, four resistance genes combination, Xa1+Xa3+xa5+Xa21, showed the highest resistance and conferred the enhanced resistance than three genes combination, Xa3+xa5+Xa21. Four genes pyramid lines (RDL and RPL) showed broad-spectrum resistant against 16 Korean bacterial blight isolates and the yield and quality of the lines did not alter by the inoculation of K3a, the most virulent race in Korea. In addition, these lines had excellent plant type and exhibited more enhanced yield than previously developed resistant cultivars. Four bacterial blight resistance genes combination, Xa1+Xa3+xa5+Xa21, was efficient and promising combination and developed lines with four genes could be useful materials and will be applied to the breeding programs for enhancing the resistance of japonica rice against bacterial blight.

화장품 사용 전후의 피부 상태는 주로 시각과 촉각 및 피부 구조에 기초한 정성적, 정량적 방법에 의해 평가되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 화장품을 피부에 도포할 때 문지름으로 인한 마찰 소음이 발생한다는 사실을 기반 으로, 피부 문지름에서 발생하는 소리를 측정하여 청각을 기반으로 하는 새로운 피부 상태 평가법을 개발하고자 하였다. 우선 무향 조건에서 고감도의 계측용 마이크로폰을 사용하여 피부를 문질렀을 때 발생하는 소리를 계측 하였으며, 주파수 영역(1/3 옥타브 스펙트럼) 해석법을 이용하여 세정 전, 세정 후, 화장품 도포 후의 세 가지 피부 조건에 따른 소리의 스펙트럼 변화를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 세정 전보다 세정 후에 피부 문지름에서 발생하 는 소리의 세기가 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 화장품 도포 후에는 문지름 소음의 총 세기가 가장 작음을 확인하 였다. 또한, 화장품 도포 후는 도포 전과 비교해볼 때, 2 kHz 미만의 저주파 대역의 에너지는 증가하며 반대로 2 kHz 이상의 고주파 영역의 에너지는 상대적으로 감소하는 변곡점이 발생하였다. 화장품 도포 후에 변곡점 근처에서 에너지 차이가 반전되는 이러한 현상은 피부의 물리적 모델인 풍선으로 해석되며, 저주파 영역에서의 소리 세기의 증가를 설명하기 위해 “유연함 지표”를 도입하고, 고주파 영역에서의 소리 세기의 감소를 설명하기 위해서는 “부드러움 지표”를 도입하였다. 그리고, 이러한 소리 측정을 통한 유연함 증가와 부드러움 증가는 각각 cutometer와 primos을 사용한 피부 유연함 측정과 피부 거칠기 측정 결과와 유사함을 확인하였다. 이상의 연구 결과를 통해 유연함과 부드러움 지표를 사용하는 청각에 기초한 평가 방법은 새로운 피부 상태 평가법으로 활용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

건강한 삶에 대한 현대인의 관심이 나날이 고조되고 있으며, 이에 따라 노화와 질병의 예방에 효과가 있는 항산화제의 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 특히 천연물이나 식품을 소재로 한 식이성 항산화제에 대한 연구는 꾸준히 증가하고 있는 추세이며, 천연물의 소재나 연구 분야의 폭이 매우 넓다. 본 연구는 고들빼기의 기능성 식품으로서 이용 가능성을 검토하기 위하여 동결건조 후, 각각의 용매(에탄올, 메탄올, 물)로 추출한 샘플을 DPPH radical 소거능, 아질산염 소거능, 총 페놀함량, 유기산 및 미생물함량을 측정하였다. 고들빼기 추출물에 대한 DPPH radical 소거능은 대체로 추출농도가 높아질수록 증가하는 경향을 보였고, 메탄올로 추출한 80% 희석액으로 추출했을 때 DPPH radical 소거능이 약 76.3%로 가장 높게 나타났다. pH가 증가함에 따라 아질산염 소거능은 감소하였고, 메탄올로 희석한 시료가 pH 1.2에서 77.8%으로 가장 높았다. 총 페놀 화합물 함량은 에탄올로 추출한 100% 희석액에서 76.7 mg GAE/g으로 가장 높았다. 고들빼기 김치의 유기산은 젖산, 구연산 순으로 높게 검출되었다. 저장기간이 길어질수록 총균수는 줄어들고, 유산균수함량이 증가하였다. 이러한 결과로 볼 때 고들빼기는 폴리페놀 함량이 풍부하고, DPPH, 아질산염 소거효과를 보여, 기능성 소재로서의 활용이 가능하리라 생각된다.

Birds play a main role in the formation and change of forest structures as they are seed-dispersal agents. This study aims to identify birds consuming fruits and seeds of the tree and their associated fruits and seeds on Jeju Island in the context on the forest restoration in Korea. We conducted field surveys twice a month from 2013 to 2015 at nine study sites located across Jeju Island and collected available photographic and observation records. A total of 50 species of birds consuming fruits and seeds of the tree were identified and birds belonging to Bombycillidae, Pycnonotidae, Zosteropidae, Sturnidae and Fringillidae were confirmed as major birds consuming fruits and seeds of the tree. Gulping was the dominant type of feeding as well as crushing, but relationship between the size of a bird and the number of fruit and seed species used by the bird was not significant. We also documented that 118 fruit and seed species were consumed by birds and that shrubby fruits and seeds were more consumed by birds than those of other plant types. The relative consumption rate of fruits and seeds ranged from 0.02 to 0.44, but five species were the most important fruits and seeds for birds. Our finding suggest that avian frugivorous gulpers will benefit the seed dispersal, especially of five fruiting plants, providing useful baseline data for forest restoration and urban park design.
