본 연구는 예술성과 대중성을 모두 갖고 있는 뮤지션인 더 위켄드의 작품분석을 통한 음악적 특징을 알아보기 위해 시작되었다. 그리하여 더 위켄드의 음악 중 빌보드 Hot 100 차트에서 1위를 달성하였던 작품 5곡을 선정하여 연구해 보았다. <Can’t Feel My Face>, <The Hills>, <Starboy>, <Blinding Lights>, <Save Your Tears> 총 5곡을 모두 동일한 방식으로 분석하였고 결론을 도출하 였다. 첫째, 코드 진행 측면에서 바라봤을 때 반복적이다. 대부분 4개의 코드 진행이 곡의 초반부 터 계속해서 반복되어 다양한 테마를 취하기보단 일관된 테마를 유지하였다. 일관된 테마를 갖는 곡은 청자가 음악에 쉽게 익숙해지도록 하는 이점이 있다. 둘째, 리듬 측면에서 바라봤을 때 음악 전체적으로 통일된 리듬감을 갖는다. 통일된 리듬감이 주는 이점은 청자가 곡의 리듬을 빠르게 익힐 수 있다. 셋째, 장르 및 편곡적인 측면에서 바라봤을 때 레트로한 요소가 많이 활용되었다. 80년대 유행했던 신스팝 장르 및 그 당시 사용되었던 FM 신시사이저의 사운드가 적극적으로 사용 되었다. 더불어 과거의 유행하던 사운드나 요소를 단순히 사용하는 데 그치지 않고 현시대의 유행 하는 음악에 잘 녹여내는 모습도 보여주었다.

본 연구에서는 flavonoid apigenin과 baicalein의 세포 실험으로 콜라겐 회복효과를 확인하고 전사체 비교 분석을 통하여 collagen 회복 효과를 뒷받침할 수 있는 결과를 제안하고자 한다. 연구 결과 apigenin과 baicalein은 HS68 세포주에서 UV에 의해 손상된 I형 collagen 회복에 효과를 보였으며, 두 물질 모두에서 ECM 관련 유전자들의 발현 변화를 확인하였다. ECM을 조절하는 공통적인 메커니즘을 보일 뿐 아니라 각각 다른 범주의 유전자들을 변화시키는 결과도 보여서, 세포에 다양한 영향을 미치는 것으로 예측할 수 있었다.

Combat-armored vehicles were equipped with an automatic-fire-extinguishing system to ensure the safety of the crew and vehicle from fires on the vehicle. When a fire was occurred, the automatic-fire-extinguishing system automatically detects the fire through sensors and detection lines, sprays a fire extinguisher, and notifies the crew visually and audibly. Recently, there had been cases of automatic-fire-extinguishing systems malfunction on combat-armored vehicles. In this study, in order to resolve the automatic-fire-extinguisher's malfunction phenomenon, ground noise and inter-circuit noise generated from the fire detection line were identified, and the resistance connected on the circuit was revised to remove noise. As a result of resistance revision, the noises was eliminated and the electromotive force difference between input circuits was made constant, thereby improving the malfunction of the automatic-fire-extinguishing system. By applying the result, it was confirmed that the control device sensed a temperature similar to the actual temperature on actual vehicles, and it was confirmed that the automatic-fire-extinguishing system's malfunction phenomenon was not founded in the field vehicles after then.

Raman distributed temperature sensor can be used as temperature instruments as well as monitoring abnormalities in next-generation nuclear systems. Since noise reduction and Measuring Frequency enhancement are required, integration time adjustment has been mainly used so far. In this study, a new data processing method using Moving Average Filter was analyzed to see if noise reduction and Measuring Frequency could be reduced, and improvement measures were suggested.

Molybdenum-tungsten (Mo-W) alloy sputtering targets are widely utilized in fields like electronics, nanotechnology, sensors, and as gate electrodes for TFT-LCDs, owing to their superior properties such as hightemperature stability, low thermal expansion coefficient, electrical conductivity, and corrosion resistance. To achieve optimal performance in application, these targets’ purity, relative density, and grain size of these targets must be carefully controlled. We utilized nanopowders, prepared via the Pechini method, to obtain uniform and fine powders, then carried out spark plasma sintering (SPS) to densify these powders. Our studies revealed that the sintered compacts made from these nanopowders exhibited outstanding features, such as a high relative density of more than 99%, consistent grain size of 3.43 μm, and shape, absence of preferred orientation.

As aerial application increasing, with social concerning in pesticide drift rises, so this study attempts to establish a test bench that can repeatedly and continuously evaluate this. To this end, this study first analyze ISO 22866 and ASABE S561.1 among the international standard test methods related to pesticide fugitive evaluation. A test bench was established at the Naju practice field of Chonnam National University in accordance with international standards, and field tests were carried out (ISO 22866, ASABE S561.1) to verify effectiveness. A test bench that established in this study and a pesticide drift recovery protocol by aerial application can improve the experimental environment where field experiments were complex and it was difficult to achieve the same conditions. In addition, it will be possible to construct a database of pesticide drift that takes into account various factors that affect pesticide drift substances, which is expected to improve the reliability of the data, as well as quantitative evaluation of pesticide drift in the air.

The objective of this study was to investigate the distribution of functional compounds in perilla leaves of various genetic resources and their antioxidant activities. A comprehensive analysis of functional compounds was conducted for 90 genetic resources, focusing on total polyphenol content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), individual phenolic content (IPC), and lutein. Their antioxidant activities were then analyzed based on their radical scavenging capacity using ABTS (2,2’-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) and DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl). The TPC content exhibited a range of 13.19 to 35.85 mg gallic acid equivalent/g, whereas the TFC content varied from 11.74 to 46.51 mg catechin equivalent/g. Total IPC was detected in a range of 6,310.98 to 40,491.82 μg/g. Lutein was detected at levels between 70.97 and 597.97 μg/g. ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging activities of perilla leaves ranged from 30.39 to 58.58 mg trolox equivalent (TE)/g and from 7.74 to 46.56 mg TE/g, respectively. Furthermore, correlation analysis demonstrated that rosmarinic acid, a phenolic acid, exhibited a significantly positive correlation with antioxidant activity. These findings suggest that various genetic resource of perilla leaves could effectively mediate antioxidant capacity. Results of this study provide valuable information for use of perilla leaves in Korea as functional food materials.

This study aims to analyze the sensory characteristic of cooked rice made with 10 types of rice varieties produced in South Korea using descriptive analysis. Twelve subjects who cook rice regularly, at least once a week, were recruited for the study and participated as descriptive panelists. A total of 29 descriptive terms were developed to describe the sensory characteristics of cooked rice. The findings showed that there were significant differences in the sensory attributes, specifically the appearance and texture attributes among the rice varieties. Among the varieties, Haedeul, Ilpum, and Koshihikari were observed to have a large quantity of rice germ and a relatively yellowish appearance. In contrast, Samkwang, Chamdream, and Yeonghojinmi were relatively whiter than the other samples. Odae, Saecheongmoo, and Sindongjin were rated high in the attributes of roughness, hardness, and chewiness, and Jinsang was rated high in moisture, bitterness, stickiness, and wholeness of rice grains. The differences in the appearance and texture of these rice varieties are likely to significantly impact consumer preferences. Furthermore, the development of customized menus based on the sensory characteristics of the different varieties of rice could encourage consumers to purchase these varieties.
