Recycled cenosphere, which is a hollow shaped particle from fly ash, has become attractive as a building material due to its light weight and excellent heat insulation and soundproof properties. In this paper, we investigated the effect of cenosphere size on the physical and optical properties. High brightness of cenosphere as raw material is required for a wide range of ceramics applications, particularly in fields of building materials and industrial ceramic tiles. Cenospheres were sorted by particle size; the microstructure was analyzed according to the cenosphere size distribution. Cenospheres were generally composed of quartz, mullite, and amorphous phase. Colour measurement corresponding to chemical composition revealed that the contents of iron oxide and carbon in the cenospheres were the major factors determining the brightness of the cenospheres.

The effects of electron beam(EB) irradiation on the electrical and optical properties of InGaZnO(IGZO) thin films fabricated using a sol-gel process were investigated. As the EB dose increased, the electrical characteristic of the IGZO TFTs changed from semiconductor to conductor, and the threshold voltage values shifted to the negative direction. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis of the O 1s core level showed that the relative area of oxygen vacancies increased from 14.68 to 19.08 % as the EB dose increased from 0 to 1.5 × 1016 electrons/cm2. In addition, spectroscopic ellipsometer analysis showed that the optical band gap varied from 3.39 to 3.46 eV with increasing EB dose. From the result of band alignment, it was confirmed that the Fermi level(EF) of the sample irradiated with 1.5 × 1016 electrons/cm2 was located at the closest position to the conduction band minimum(CBM) due to the increase of electron carrier concentration

Crude extracts from several medicinal plants were investigated for their antimicrobial activities against Colletotrichum spp. in grapevines Extracts of sweet wormwood, cockscomb flowers, asian plantain flowers, and peach tree resin showed in vitro antifungal activity on growth of Colletotrichum acutatum. To test inhibition effects of ripe rot development by C. acutatum and C. gloeosporioides, grapevine leaves were sprayed with each extract (500 fold diluted) from sweet wormwood and cockscomb flower and leaves, asian plantain flower and peach tree resin. The crude extracts of medicinal plants displayed remarkable in vivo antimicrobial activities with inhibition of lesion development by 22.5 to 67.5 % in ‘Blanc seedless’ and 2.12 to 53.2% in ‘Thompson seedless’ inoculated with agar block of C. acutatum and by 19.2 to 61.5% in 'Blanc seedless' and 19.6 to 78.3% in ‘Thompson seedless’ grapevines inoculated with spore suspension of C. acutatum compared with the untreated control. The crude extracts of medicinal plants showed remarkable inhibition of ripe rot by 26 to 64.8 % in ‘Blanc seedless’ and 25.5 to 76.5% in ‘Thompson seedless’ grapevine leaves inoculated with C. gloeosporioides agar block inoculation and by 23.1 to 61.5% in 'Blanc seedless' and 18.8 to 25% in ‘Thompson seedless’ grapevine leaves inoculated with C. gloeosporioides spore suspension compared with uninoculated control. These findings indicate that medicinal plant extracts could be used as possible candidates to control ripe rot disease environment friendly in grapevines.

The anion exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs) have been regarded as the promising power sources. To develop promising AEMs, the most important components in AEMFCs, the properties of the conducting groups as well as the polymer backbones should be both considered. We recently developed PPO-based anion exchange membranes having various conducting groups, including ammonium, imidazolium, mopholinium. The preparation, characterization and properties of the corresponding membranes will be discussed in detail.

The effect of electron beam (EB) irradiation on the electrical properties of Zn-Sn-O (ZTO) thin films fabricated using a sol-gel process was investigated. As the EB dose increased, the saturation mobility of ZTO thin film transistors (TFTs) was found to slightly decrease, and the subthreshold swing and on/off ratio degenerated. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis of the O 1s core level showed that the relative area of oxygen vacancies (VO) increased from 10.35 to 12.56 % as the EB dose increased from 0 to 7.5 × 1016 electrons/cm2. Also, spectroscopic ellipsometry analysis showed that the optical band gap varied from 3.53 to 3.96 eV with increasing EB dose. From the results of the electrical property and XPS analyses of the ZTO TFTs, it was found that the electrical characteristic of the ZTO thin films changed from semiconductor to conductor with increasing EB dose. It is thought that the electrical property change is due to the formation of defect sites like oxygen vacancies.

단백질과 사포닌 함량이 높은 해삼 열수 추출물을 첨가한 산성 음료는 응집, 침전 및 해삼 특유의 이취로 인하여 음료 제조에 많은 제한점이 있다. 단백질 클라우드 에멀션 음료 시스템은 고단백질 기능성 음료 제조 및 이취를 차폐할 수 있는 특성이 있고, 증점제로 사용되는 펙틴은 산성 조건에서 단백질과 콤플렉스를 형성함으로써 응집과 침전을 억제할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 클라우드 에멀션 시스템에 해삼 열수 추출물 분말을 첨가하여 모델 음료를 제조하였으며 펙틴의 함량을 조절하면서 pH와 열처리 조건에 따른 모델 음료의 이화학적 특성을 관찰하였다. 해삼 열수 추출물 분말은 고온(121oC), 고압(15 psi) 조건에서 추출한 후 분무 건조하여 확보하였으며 단백질, 다당, 회분, 수분함량은 각각 43.46, 44.97, 5.38, 4.19%이었다. 모델 음료는 올리브유(0.1%), 해삼 열수 추출물 분말(2%), 유청 단백질(2%), 펙틴(0.01-2%)을 혼합한 후 고압 균질기(4500 psi)를 이용하여 균질화하였다. 제조한 클라우드 에멀션 모델 음료는 30oC와 85oC에서 각각 2 또는 30 min 동안 열처리를 하였다. 펙틴, 유청 단백질의 ξ-potential과 입자크기는 pH를 7에서 3으로 감소시킴에 따라서 증가하였다. 펙틴을 0.01%에서 2% 범위로 첨가한 모델 음료의 ξ-potential과 입자크기는 펙틴함량의 증가에 따라서 증가하였다. 저농도의 펙틴(0.01-0.1%)을 첨가한 경우에는 응집과 상분리 현상이 발생하지 않았다. 그러나 고농도 펙틴(0.5-2.0%)의 첨가, pH를 7에서 3으로 감소 및 85oC에서 30 min 동안의 열처리 조건에서는 complex coacervation에 의한 응집과 상분리 현상이 발생하였다.

The waterworks company is in charge of managing water facilities buried underground, and the management has been centered on manholes. However, since there is no standard management manual, it has been impossible to introduce and operate a systemized managing tool by water service providers and managers, and manhole management has been carried out by individual data recording personnel for each water service provider. When the management is carried out individually, the data to be shared by other waterworks managers tend to be privatized, and consequently, it may become a big obstacle to proceed with many civil works such as emergency leak repair, road excavation, replacement of old buildings. This report introduces RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) system which is based on the magnetic field capable of IOT. It also describes the necessity of leveraging the system for smart managing of pipe management record that has been done by hand writing. The RFID system includes RFID marker, data reader, portable computer operating program, and data base server operating program. In this system, the data is managed with a single communication device, and it would be possible to share the information on the underground facilities and water treatment facilities. This RFID technology is expected to provide water service providers with opportunities to develop more scientific and modernized underground facilities information systems.

The aim of this study was to examine the effects and the sensitivity of antifungal therapy for patients with oral candidiasis and to investigate the relationship among the signs & symptoms of patients and the ratio change of Candida species to antifungal therapy. Candida fungus culture test with ChromeIDTM Candida agar (CAN2) was carried out more than twice for 10 patients who visited Oral Medicine department of Chonnam National University Dental Hospital during the period from Dec. 2015 to Aug. 2016. After culturing the smear sample before and after antifungal therapy in ChromeIDTM Candida agar (CAN2), the number of colonies was counted to compare. Patients were divided into 5 group according to the therapeutic effects of the antifungal agents used: 1) high susceptibility to nystatin, 2) low susceptibility to nystatin, 3) high susceptibility to fluzonazole, 4) low susceptibility to fluzonazole, and 5) increased ratio of new Candida species. Although nystatin is used as first-line therapy in oral candidiasis, it is desirable to use fluconazole if patients had a history of the low sensitivity to nystatin or chemotherapy. Even if the patient's symptoms and signs are improved, there is a possibility of oral candidiasis recurring, so that clinicians should be careful during the treatment with antifungal agents.

The two-way quality theory has been widely used as a method for classifying quality attributes for several decades. In particular, the Kano model that classifies attributes into not just conventional one-dimensional but must-be and attractive has gained popularity due to its applicability and ease of use. However, the wordings of the five alternatives in the Kano's questionnaire has been criticised for unclear meanings. This study proposes a new two-way model to classify attributes using 5-point Likert scale alternatives. For this, the current paper investigated a case of TV sets to examine how the proposed model works in comparison with the Kano model. The application results of the proposed model are different from the original one. The two-way model classifies quality attributes in more detail such as the “one-dimensional with an attractive tendency” attribute, which has a greater influence on satisfaction than dissatisfaction, the opposite “one-dimensional with a must-be tendency” attribute, and “highly one-dimensional” and “less one-dimensional” attributes. In this study, a potential satisfaction coefficient (PSC), a potential dissatisfaction coefficient (PDC), and an average potential coefficient (APC) to manage quality attributes are proposed and discussed for their utilization.

Profitability of farmers has decreased mainly owing to low price while the gross amount of mushroom production has increased continuously in South Korea. In this regard, analyzing patterns of mushroom consumption is believed to be meaningful. We used a panel data set consisting of 667 families, from 2010 to 2015. Based on the panel data, mushroom consumption patterns of people living in city areas were examined. Multiple descriptive analysis methods and frequency analysis approaches were adopted in this study in terms of time and space dimensions, demographic properties, and purchase behaviors. The findings of this studyshow that mushroom purchase is highly dependent on seasonal events, which implies that the product consumption timing is predictable. In addition, yearly purchase amount patterns reflect that superstores have become the major mushroomtrading venues. This directly supports the need to establish supply chain capabilities for mushroom farmers so that they gain more bargaining power against enterprise-type groceries. Finally, functional features of mushroom can be linked with marketing promotion because purchase patterns demonstrate potential needs for healthcare food in mushroom categories. Based on the analyzed patterns, this paper provides insightful implications for policy makers who want to promote mushroom consumption.
