Marine casualties of small fishing vessels (SFV) of less than 20 tons are frequent in Korea. The analysis was conducted to identify the cause and then prepared reduction plan using the marine casualty statistics of fishing vessels for the last five years from 2012 to 2016 by the Korean Maritime Safety Tribunal to reduce the marine casualties of SFV. According to the analysis of the type of whole vessels occurring marine casualty, fishing vessels accounted for an average 68.0 %; moreover, except for 2014 when M/V SEWOL ferry capsizing occurred, the rate of death and missing due to marine casualties occurred from 68.3 % to 91.2 % in fishing vessels, and an average 79.5 % was found to be urgent need of a measure. Marine casualties occurrence depending on the gross tonnage of fishing vessel was found that the most occurred at less than 5 tons, followed by the order of 5 to 10 tons or less. However, crews who boarded on SFV do not have any training program for them, except for the fishing safety training of fisher who carry out fishing for shipowners and crew of the coastal and offshore fishing vessel in accordance with the safety regulations for fishing vessels in the Fisheries Cooperative Association. Therefore, it is necessary to revise the training program so as to improve the preventive action and then emergency response including the fishing safety compliance with each fishery, safe navigation, machinery inspection and emergency response. Also, an SFV of less than 5 tons of 56,000 vessels is boarded by unqualified fishers. It would also be possible to consider subdividing small boat operator’s certificate to enhance their qualifications. It is expected that marine casualties of SFV will be reduced if active efforts are made to improve the safety consciousness of fisher and shipowners as well as the reorganization of fishing safety training and the small boat operator’s certificate system.

해상교량 하부의 직선항로 길이 확보는 선박 통항 안전을 위한 중요한 요소 중 하나이다. 그러나 항만 및 어항 설계기준에 따르면 해상교량 하부 직선항로 길이는 선박길이의 8배로 획일적인 가이드라인을 적용하고 있다. 본 연구는 적정 해상교량 하부 직선길이를 도출하기 위해 ES 모델을 이용하여 항로폭, 통항량, 항로의 곡률, 직선항로길이에 따른 위험도 비율을 확인했다. 확인 결과 항로의 곡률이 45°의 경우 항로길이가 3L에서 10L로 길어짐에 따라 위험도 비율이 2.27 % 감소했다. 곡률에 따른 위험도는 직선항 로의 길이가 3L의 경우 곡률이 45°에서 0°로 변하면서 위험도 비율이 4.83 % 감소하는 것을 확인했다. 또한 항로폭 400 m, 시간당 발 생선박이 20척의 조건에서 항로의 곡률별, 직선항로에 따른 위험도 비율은 최대 1.45 % 감소하는 것을 확인했다. 이를 통해 해상 교량 건설 시 항로의 혼잡도 및 곡률에 따라 일정 길이 이상의 직선항로가 필요함을 검증했다.

본 연구는 자색옥수수 색소 1호 포엽과 속대 추출물의 항비만 활성을 검정하고자 지방분해효소 저해활성을 평가 하고 3T3-L1 지방전구세포에서 지방분화억제 효과를 검정하고자 수행되었다. Pancreatic lipase 저해 활성 결과, 색소 1호 포엽 및 속대 추출물의 100, 500, 1,000 μg/mL 농 도처리구에서 양성대조군인 orlistat 보다 높은 저해 활성을 나타내었다. 3T3-L1 지방전구세포를 배양하여 색소 1 호 포엽 및 속대 추출물의 세포독성 평가를 수행한 결과, 추출물은 모든 처리농도에서 세포 생존율에 영향을 미치 지 않은 것으로 확인되었다. 분화된 3T3-L1 지방전구세포 에서 색소 1호 포엽과 속대 추출물을 처리하지 않고 분화 시킨 대조군은 lipid droplet의 형성이 활발하게 유발되었으나 색소 1호 포엽 및 속대 추출물의 처리에 의해 농도 의존적으로 lipid droplet의 형성이 억제되는 것으로 나타났다. Real-time PCR과 Western blot을 실시하여 PPARγ와 C/EBPα 유전자 및 단백질 발현량을 측정한 결과, 추출물을 처리하지 않고 분화시킨 대조군에서는 PPARγ와 C/ EBPα의 유전자 및 단백질 발현이 증가하였으며, 추출물 처리에 의해 PPARγ와 C/EBPα의 유전자 및 단백질 발현이 유의적으로 감소하였다. 본 연구 결과는 색소 1호 포엽 및 속대 추출물이 pancreatic lipase 활성 및 지방전구 세포의 분화를 억제시킴으로써 항비만 활성 기능성 물질 로의 활용 가능성이 높음을 시사한다.

PURPOSES: The purpose of this research is to analyze the characteristics of panels that affect the evaluating results of riding quality and to evaluate the appropriateness of roughness management criteria based on ride comfort satisfaction. METHODS: In order to analyze the influence of panel characteristics of riding quality, 33 panels, consisting of civilians and experts, were selected. Also, considering the roughness distribution of the expressway, 35 sections with MRI ranging from 1.17 m/km to 4.65 m/km were selected. Each panel boarded a passenger car and evaluated the riding quality with grades from 0 to 10, and assessed whether it was satisfied or not. After removing outlier results using a box plot technique, 964 results were analyzed. An ANOVA was conducted to evaluate the effects of panel expertise, age, driving experience, vehicle ownership, and gender on the evaluation results. In addition, by using the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve, the MRI value, which can most accurately evaluate the satisfaction with riding quality, was derived. Then, the compatibility of MRI was evaluated using AUC as a criterion to assess whether the riding quality was satisfactory. RESULTS: Only the age of the panel participants were found to have an effect on the riding quality satisfaction. It was found that satisfaction with riding quality and MRI are strongly correlated. The satisfaction rate of roughness management criteria on new (MRI 1.6 m/km) and maintenance (MRI 3.0 m/km) expressways were 95% and 53%, respectively. As a result of evaluating the roughness management criteria by using the ROC curve, it was found that the accuracy of satisfaction was the highest at MRI 3.1-3.2 m/km. In addition, the AUC of the MRI was about 0.8, indicating that the MRI was an appropriate index for evaluating the riding quality satisfaction. CONCLUSIONS: Based on the results, the distribution of the panels’age should be considered when panel rating is conducted. From the results of the ROC curve, MRI of 3.0 m/km, which is a criterion of roughness management on maintenance expressways, is considered as appropriate.

Stainless steel is being used in various industries such as automobile and aerospace for its cheap manufacturing cost and excellent mechanical properties. However, stainless steel failed to stably protect a specimen with a Cr2O3 protective layer at temperatures above 1000 ℃. Thus, improving the high temperature flame resistance of the specimen through additional surface coating was needed. In this study, multilayer coatings of YSZ and Al2O3 were performed on SUS 304 specimens using pack cementation coatings and thermal plasma spray. The multilayer coated specimen showed enhanced thermal properties due to the coated layers. The microstructures and phase stability are discussed together with flame conditions at 1350 ℃.

The objective of this study was to investigate the suitable method for rapid establishment of grassland according to forage species, mixed pastures and installation of mesh at 35 degree angle of cutting area in the middle region of Korea. In agronomic characteristics after wintering, vegetation coverage of Tall fescue(TF) was 74% in monoculture, which was the highest among 3 forage crops. Meanwhile average vegetation coverages of monoculture and mixed pasture were 67 and 92% in treated of mesh, which were 4 and 18% higher than untreated of mesh, respectively. In botanical composition, TF of monoculture and Orchardgrass(OG) and TF oriented mixed were indicated over 94% forage coverage.

In forage productivity, dry matter yield(DMY) of TF(12,537kg/ha) and KBG(11,897kg/ha) of monoculture were significant(p<0.05) higher than RT(9,604kg/ha). Meanwhile DMY of OG(12,227kg/ha), TF(12,823kg/ha) and PRG(11,871kg/ha) oriented mixed were not significant difference(p>0.05). In forage quality of monoculture, in the first year, crude protein of KBG was 13.6%, which was the highest among 3 forage species. Also neutral detergent fiber(NDF) of TF was 56.5%, which was the lowest among 3 forage species. In mixed pasture, in the second year, NDF and acid detergent fiber of PRG oriented mixed were 56.5 and 34.3%, respectively, which was the lowest among 3 mixed pasture. In conclusion, forage species TF was more suitable on initial rootage and continuous forage coverage, OG and TF oriented mixed were more suitable on continuous forage coverage. Also the installation of mesh showed positive effects on initial rootage and maintain forage ratio.

본 연구는 콩 콤바인 수확 시 수확장애와 종실의 품위를 떨어뜨리는 잎과 줄기의 노화 지연에 관한 연구로 2015~2016년도 국립식량과학원 남부작물부(경남 밀양시 소재)의 시험포장에서 수행하였다. 시험품종은 대원콩과 풍산나물콩을 사용하였으며, 6월 9일에 고휴 2열로 휴폭 110 cm, 주간거리 40 cm, 1주 2본 재배하였고, 콩 꼬투리를 0~50%범위에 수준별로 제거하여 성숙기 생육특성과 잎과 줄기의 건물중에 대해서 조사하였다. 주요결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 대원콩과 풍산나물콩 모두 종실비대시 콩 꼬투리 제거가 생육특성에 영향을 미치지는 않았지만, 제거 비율이 높아질수록 성숙기가 지연되었다. 2. 콩 꼬투리 제거 비율이 높아짐에 따라 종실 무게도 증가하였는데 꼬투리의 제거비율이 대원콩은 20%, 풍산나물콩은 30% 이상일 경우에는 차이가 없었다. 3. 꼬투리 제거비율이 높아질수록 잎과 줄기의 건물중이 증가하였는데, 이는 종자에 축적되어야 할 잉여 동화 산물이 잎과 줄기에 축적된 결과로 보여진다. 4. Sink/source 감소폭은 대원콩 20% 제거 시 0.18, 풍산나물콩 30% 제거 시 0.42로 이전 처리구에 비해 크게 감소하였기 때문에 잎과 줄기의 성숙이 불리할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 기존외장재로 사용되고 있는 알루미늄 커튼월시스템을 대신할 수 있는 공법으로, 유리를 지지하는 케이블에 초기장력을 도입하여 건축외장재에 작용되는 풍하중을 효과적으로 지지할 수 있는 케이블월 시스템을 제안하였다. 고층건축물 기준층 에 적용할 수 있는 상하로 연결된 수직 일방향 케이블시스템에 케이블의 초기장력과 설계하중에 대한 변위를 예측할 수 있도록 구조 해석과 실물크기의 실험을 통해 케이블월 시스템의 구조성능을 평가하였다. 구조설계 프로그램인 MIDAS-Gen을 이용하여 케이블의 초기장력 및 구조거동을 해석하였고, 구조실험에 나타난 최대 처짐 값은 케이블구조 국제허용 처짐인 AAMA 조건에도 만족한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 구조해석을 통해 나타난 결과 값이 실제 외장재 크기에 동일한 하중조건으로 작용한 구조실험 결과 값과 거의 유사한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 얻어진 결과로, 제안된 케이블월 시스템을 건축외장재에 사용할 경우 구조성능은 충분히 확보될 뿐 만 아니라 개방성이 확보되고 시공이 간편하여 공사비용을 절감시킬 것으로 예상된다.

The chemical structures of perfluorinated compounds(PFCs) have unique properties such as thermal and chemical stability that make them useful components in a wide variety of consumer and industrial products. Two of these PFCs, perfluorooctane sulfonate(PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid(PFOA), have received attention and were the most commonly detected. In this study it was analyzed the concentrations of 8 PFCs in samples were collected from drinking water treatment plants for 5 years(2012-2016). PFOS and PFOA were also high concentration and frequency. The mean concentrations of PFOA and PFOS were detected 0.0026-0.0069 μg/L and 0.0009-0.0024 μg/L in samples from drinking water treatment plants. These were relatively lower or similar compared to PFOS concentrations in Osaka(Japan). In general, these levels are below health-based values set by international authoritative bodies for drinking water. These results will be serve as the first monitoring data for PFCs in drinking water and be useful for characterizing the concentration distribution and management of PFCs in future studies.

Patent trends on foundation technique and application technologies of rapeseed by-products were analyzed for major producing countries including Korea, USA, Japan, China and Europe, to determine the usability and economical efficiency. To date, patents related to these by-products have been increasing steadily, since the first patent application in 1973. Patent applications in China are overwhelmingly active but those of Korea are steadily increasing. Japan and Europe unions have been slow in applying patents since the mid-2000s. The most number of application is the MB company in Canada, which is actively, doing research to develop technologies related to extraction and purification of useful substances from rapeseed. Most applicants were focusing on one or two of the major field technologies, depending on the company’s main products. Agricultural material section category accounted for more than half of the patent applications followed by technology for separation and purification of useful substances for cosmetics. In the early years of technology development, patent applications were mainly related to technologies on functional protein foods, agricultural materials and separation and purification of useful substances. In recent years, research had shifted on various fields such as cosmetics and medicines technology development is being attempted. In terms of section category, the USA has applied for the most number of patents in all fields except agricultural materials, where China is currently leading, Agricultural development efforts is well supported and encouraged by the Chinese government’s policies. In conclusion, it is suggested that technology development pertaining to separation and purification of useful substances from rapeseed by-products for cosmetics, functional protein foods, medicines and biotic pesticides to enhance value-added utilization of rapeseed by-products.

This study was conducted to evaluate the changes of pH, dry matter digestibility (DMD), NH3-N concentrate, gas production and volatile fatty acid (VFA) through in vitro fermentation by adding horse feces to various juice pomaces fermented with Bacillus, yeast and lactic acid bacteria. The pH range of fermented fluid with juice pomaces was 6.4-7.1, indicating that the digestion by microbial fermentation was normal. Juice pomaces adopted will be helpfully used to assist with digestion by microbes in intestines because approximately 109 CFU/㎖ microbes were grown after 48 hours in fermented fluid. DMD rate gradually increased from 12 hours. It was 39.19% in pomaces of apple, 38.22% in grape, 37.02% in carrot, 36.2% in citrus and 34.35% in mixture respectively after 48 hours. NH3-N concentrate was not changed significantly as it was maintained at 1.5 mg/100㎖ level in the entire treatment group from beginning of fermentation until 12 hours, but increased rapidly from 24 hours. Amount of gas produced was lowest in the mixture and increased rapidly after 12 hours. Total VFA increased from 24 hours and was highest at 48 hours. It was suggested that dry matter digestion was processed while fermented juice pomaces kept proper pH during in vitro digestion, and cellulose degrading microorganisms could act actively in the caecum and colon of horses.

In vitro fermentation was conducted to figure out alternative fiber sources for horse feed. For the development of value-added products as a horse feed resource, the pomaces from apple, carrot, grape, and citrus were fermented under solid-state conditions in the presence of 60% soybean meal with 40% of each fruit pomace at 60% of moisture content. Lactobacillus plantarum SK3873, Lactobacillus plantarum SK3893, Weissella cibaria SK3880, and Bacillus subtilis SK3889 were isolated from the fermented fruit pomace by inoculation of horse feces. For the growth of Bacillus subtilis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Lactobacillus plantarum, they were inoculated in 3-step order at 0, 12, and 24 h, respectively. The fruit pomace was fermented for 48 h at 35°C. The pH of the apple, carrot, grape, citrus and all mixed pomaces decreased from 5.45~6.25 to 4.40~4.77. Microbial growth was maintained at 108~109 cfu/g. After 12 and 24 h incubation, dry matter of carrot pomace were highest at 54.84 and 56.66%, respectively (P<0.05) and that of grape pomace was lower than others during fermentation (P<0.05). Dry matter was generally reduced by about 20%. NDF decreased gradually or maintained after 24 h, indicating the fiber degradation. Ash content tended to decrease during fermentation. After 48 hours fermentation, Bacillus, yeast and Lactobacillus showed an excellent growth by using juice by-products. These results suggest that fermented juice pomace has a potential as horse feedstuff with probiotics to maintain beneficial microflora in horse gut.

The present study was carried out to explore the potential effect of shading degrees on yields and nutritive values of forage in forest-grassland. This experiment was conducted this study under different natural shading at National Institute of Animal Science, Cheonan province in Korea, for 2 years (from 2015 to 2016). This experiment was consisted of four different shading degrees, such as full sunlight (control, 10% below), 25% of shading, 35% of shading, 50% of shading. Pasture species used in this study were orchardgrass ‘Kodiwin’, perenial ryegrass ‘Linn’, tall fescue ‘Purumi’, kentuky bluegrass ‘Kenblue’, and white clover ‘Ladino’. Botanical composition of orchardgrass was higher than that of perenial ryegrass, tall fescue and kentuky bluegrass. Dry matter (DM) yields of forage decreased as increasing shading degrees. DM yields of forage significantly decreased as increasing shading degrees and lots of cutting times under increasing shading degrees decreased DM yields of forage. The content of crude protein increased as increasing shading degrees and the contents of acid detergent fiber (ADF), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), the activity of total digestible nutrient (TDN) and in-vitro digestibility (IVD), and relative feed value (RFV) were similar in control and different shading. This study suggests that orchardgrass is major component for forest-grassland and establishment of orchardgrass can be improved by increasing shading degrees.
