Distributed optical fiber sensors have been developed to detect the occurrence of structural anomalies such as excessive stresses, cracks, and leaks at arbitrary locations in the facility. In this paper, we demonstrate fiber optic OFDR (Optical Frequency Domian Reflectometry) sensor to measure strain and temperature through the sensing optical fiber. A PVC pipe was prepared to show the strain measurement performance with a sensing optical fiber attached on the pipe. Also, a temperature test was performed with a sensing optical fiber located in a temperature chamber. In the results, this sensor can operate to resolve 14.2 micro strain and 1.62 degree temperature at the condition of 5 cm spatial resolution.

Background: Rehmanniae radix preparata (RRP) has been used as a traditional medicine and is one of the most important oriental herbal medicines. However, the physical characteristics of RRP are not suitable for use in industry. The present study was undertaken to determined the preparation method of RRP powder and the physicochemical characteristics of RRP powder by milling under different pre-freezing temperatures. Methods and Results: Moisture content, powder yield, particle size, bulk density, compressive stress, extraction yield, and 5-HMF content of PRR powders by milling with pre-freezing temperatures (−20, −40, −60, and −80℃) were analyzed, and correlation among these factors was determined. Powder yield increased and particle size decreased in a pre-freezing temperature-dependent manner from −20 to −60℃. The Hausner ratio increased from 1.186 to 1.225 with decreasing temperature from −20 to −80℃, whereas compressive stress showed the opposite trend. Extraction yield and 5-HMF content were not significantly different between RRP powder. Significant correlations were observed among pre-freezing temperature and physical characteristics (e.g., yield, particle size, Hausner ratio, and compressive stress). Conclusions: These results suggest that the pre-freezing temperature is an important factor affecting the physical characteristics of PRR powder and applicable to the industrial production of RRP powder

The Fuji variety of apple, introduced in Japan, has excellent storage quality and good taste, such that it is the most commonly cultivated apple variety in Gunwi County, North Gyeongsang Province, Korean Peninsula. Accurate prediction of harvest maturity allows farmers to more efficiently manage their farm in important aspects such as working time, fruit storage, market shipment, and labor distribution. Temperature is one of the most important factors that determine plant growth, development, and yield. This paper reports on the beta distribution (function) model that can be used to simulate the the phenological response of plants to temperature. The beta function, commonly used as a skewed probability density in statistics, was introduced to estimate apple harvest maturity as a function of temperature in this study. The model parameters were daily maximum temperature, daily optimum temperature, and maximum growth rate. They were estimated from the input data of daily maximum and minimum temperature and apple harvest maturity. The difference in observed and predicted maturity day from 2009 to 2012, with optimal parameters, was from two days earlier to one day later.

We investigated the effect of PE film thickness on the modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) deastringency of ‘Sanggamdungsi’ (Diospyros kaki cv.) astringent persimmon at room temperature (25°C) and low temperature (-1°C). The fruits were individually packaged with PE film of which the thickness is 60, 80, 100, 115 or 130 μm and stored at room or low (-1°C) temperature. At room temperature, firmness shows the highest value (23.3-26.5) at 100 μm thickness. Top flesh browning and decay was monitored at 20 days after storage, and peel blackening and style-end softening was negligible at optimal thickness. Therefore, optimal film thickness of deastringency at room temperature is 80-100 μm. At this thickness, the astringency was removed after 5 days and the fruits can be distributed until 10 days after the MAP. At low (-1°C) temperature, firmness was maintained regardless of film thickness. However, the firmness is higher as the film is thicker. Top flesh browning and decay was not occurred even after 90 days after storage. Peel blackening and style-end softening was monitored at 90 days after storage. Off-flavor was monitored at 115 and 130 μm thickness. Therefore, optimal film thickness of deastringency at low (-1°C) temperature is 80-100 μm. At this thickness, the astringency was removed after 50 days and the fruits can be distributed until 80 days after the MAP.

본 연구에서는 양생조건이 다른 압축강도 90 MPa 수준의 고강도 콘크리트 부재의 휨거동 실험을 수행하였다. 실험변수는 정상 및 저온 양생 조건, 인장 철근량 및 콘크리트 압축강도 수준 등을 고려하였다. 8개의 보 부재를 제작하여 휨 실험을 수행하였으며 균열 간격, 하중-처짐 관계, 하중-변형률 관계 및 연성지수를 파악하였다. 실험결과는 철근량이 증가함에 따라 균열 개수는 증가하고 균열간격은 감소하는 경향 을 나타내며, 콘크리트 강도가 높을수록 균열개수가 줄어들기는 하지만 그 효과는 철근량보다는 상당히 작은 것을 알 수 있었다. 설계기준에서 제안된 평균 균열 간격 식과 비교한 결과, 실험결과가 제안식의 결과보다 약간 크게 나타났으나, 제안식은 콘크리트 강도 및 양생조건을 반영 하지 못하는 문제점이 있다. 정상 양생된 부재들의 연성지수는 3.36~6.74이며, 저온 양생된 부재들의 연성지수는 1.51~2.82으로 나타나, 저온 양생된 부재들의 거동은 정상 양생된 부재들에 비해서 연성도지수가 저감됨을 확인하였으며, 본 연구와 기존 연구의 연성지수를 비교한 결과, 고강도 콘크리트 부재의 연성지수는 선행연구의 보통강도 콘크리트의 연성지수 보다 크게 나타났으나, 더 구체적인 결과를 파악하기 위해서 는 추가연구가 필요하다고 판단된다.

A total of 15 different corn hybrids, Kwangpyeongok, Gangdaok, Yanganok, Singwangok, Jangdaok, Cheonganok, Cheongdaok, Andaok, Dapyeongok, Pyeongkangok, Pyeonganok, Daanok, Sunwon 184, Gangilok, and P3394 was used to investigate the growth and yield depending on the sowing date. The sowing dates were April 5, June 25, and July 5 and each experiments was performed in triplicste. The growth of Gangdaok was the highest. However, although the growth of Kwangpyeongok, was lower thanthar of Gangdaok, its stem height to ear height ratio was lower than that of Gangdaok, thus , Kwangpyeongok may be more suitable for stable cultivation. Both growth and yield of Daanok were low, regardless of planting date, but yield and ear shape of Pyeongkangok and Dapyeongok were for fresh corn. Growth and yield of the 15 different corn hybrids varied depending on the planting date, However, the growth degree days (GDD) was the most important factor governing the maturity of corn. More than 1500°C of GDD was sufficient to harvest mature corn hybrids in the central region of Korea. Besides yield and growth, other characteristics, such as sweetness and taste of the hybrids, should be investigated further the selection of the best corn hybrid.

In Korea, for about 2 months from late July to early September, it is expected that the average temperature will exceed 25 ℃, therefore, construction shall be conducted with hot weather concrete. In the case of the concrete placed at this time, if proper curing quality control measures are not established, problems such as plasticity, drying, shrinkage, and crack are caused. Therefore, in this study, an optimum method is proposed by mutually comparing the temperature history characteristics of the slab concrete in accordance with the change of surface coated curing material type.

As the Photovoltaic system market increases, various technologies are emerging to improve system operation efficiency. Such additional systems of the power generation system are generally referred to as ‘Balance of System’, for example a panel cooling, a panel cleaning and a panel angle adjusting apparatus. In this paper, we discuss an algorithm to calculate the target temperature of cooling in response to changes in the installation environment conditions of the power generation system so that the efficiency improvement rate target set by the user can be achieved with respect to the control method of the cooling water injection system among various panel cooling apparatuses. In order to calculate the target temperature of cooling, the output enhancement coefficient is calculated experimentally based on the temperature change according to the solar radiation condition of the PV panel, and the required reduction temperature of each irradiation condition is calculated considering the efficiency improvement rate. In addition, the efficiency improvement ratio is calculated considering the installation condition of the general power generation system without a separate control group. The thermal performance coefficient of the PV panel test body for calculating the expected temperature of the PV panel is calculated experimentally. The target temperature of cooling is calculated as the sum of the expected temperature of the PV panel and the required reduction temperature, and the injection system that tracks the target temperature by cooling water injection is constructed and compared with the power generation improvement rate and the user setting efficiency improvement rate.

Background: Dehisced ginseng seeds need to be stored at cold temperatures for around 3 months to break their physiological dormancy, and thus, to aid in gemination. In the presence of high moisture in such an environment, seed spoilage and pre-germination may lower seed quality and productivity. To improve seed quality during cold-stratification, the effects of seed dehydration and temperature were tested. Methods and Results: In early December, dehisced ginseng seeds were dehydrated at 4 different levels and stored at 2℃- 2℃, and –20℃ for 3 months. Germination was carried out on the filter papers moistened with distilled water; emergence of root, shoot, and seed spoilage were assessed. Seed viability was examined by the tetrazolium test. More than 90% of the seeds stored at 2℃ and –2 ℃ without drying or endocarp dehydration germinated, but seeds that were dehydrated to have a moisture content (MC) below 31% showed poor germination and lost their viability. In addition, the seeds stored at –20℃ failed to show effective germination. Conclusions: Seed storage after endocarp dehydration might help to improve seed quality and increase seedling's ability to stand during the spring-sowing of ginseng.
