In this study, the symbols and visual expressions employed in the food culture content of official website designed to promote three cities in Korea, Seoul, Jeonju and Jeju, were subjected to semiotic analysis. In this study, it was assumed that these websites reflected the varying perspectives of the people behind the development and management of these routes of Internet communication, and the semiotic choices made in order to exemplify each city’s food cultural image. The aim of the study was to analyze the communication strategies of food cultural branding in the terms of the online content regarding Seoul, Jeonju, and Jeju with a focus on the comparative points in these cities’ official websites. This study included conducting semiotic content analyses of the aforementioned cities’ official web pages in an attempt to determine the food branding strategies used to differentiation and produce more favorable perceptions of these three cities. Building upon the findings drawn from this comparative study, the present work can be used to determine more effective ways of strategically differentiating the images of local food culture associated with these cities from the view of brand communications. This study also demonstrates viable directions for designing web content for a city where the food cultural messages can be delivered in a thoughtful and effective manner.

본 연구는 경기도 고양시와 김포시 인근의 한강하구지역에 도래하여 월동하는 재두루미의 도래 및 취식지역 이용현황, 잠재식이물, 주간 일주행동 그리고 방해요인에 대한 조사를 통하여 이 지역 재두루미의 월동생태에 대한 기초자료 구축과 지속적인 서식을 위한 보전방안을 마련하기 위하여 실시하였다. 재두루미는 본 지역에서 2월 중순에 최대개체수인 162개체가 확인되었고, 3월 중순에 모두 번식지역으로 이동하였다. 월동기간 동안 한강 주변 김포시와 고양시의 농경지역

본 연구는 대한민국 서해안 새만금 갯벌지역에서 1999~2000년에 도래한 섭금류 3종의 간에서 철(Fe), 아연(Zn), 구리(Cu), 납(Pb) 그리고 카드뮴(Cd) 농도를 측정하여 비교하고, 각 원소 사이의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 연구결과 철(ANOVA, p=0.018), 구리(ANOVA, p=0.043), 납(ANOVA, p〈0.001) 그리고 카드뮴(ANOVA, p=0.016)은 종간에 유의한 차이가 나타났지만 아연에서는 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 본 연구에서 나타난 철, 아연 그리고 구리와 같은 필수원소는 조류의 체내 신진대사에 필요한 정상범위 내의 농도로 생각된다. 오염원소인 납 농도는 붉은어깨도요 Calidris tenuirostris (5.76±2.14μg/dry g)는 비오염수준이었지만 좀도요 Calidris ruficollis(29.4±10.6μg/dry g)와 뒷부리도요 Xenus sinereus(15.9±11.9μg/dry g)는 오염수준이었으며, 특히 좀도요는 중독수준에 근접하였다. 카드뮴 농도는 뒷부리도요(0.82±12μg/dry g)와 붉은어깨도요(0.45±0.53μg/dry g)는 비오염수준의 농도였으나, 좀도요(17.5±22.1μg/dry g)는 오염기준(3μg/dry g)을 초과하였다. 원소간의 상관관계에서는 납과 카드뮴에서만 유의한 관계가 나타났고 (r=0.067, p〈0.01), 다른 원소는 상관관계가 나타나지 않았다.

본 연구는 2000~2002년 사이에 우리나라에서 사망한 야생조류의 간, 신장 그리고 뼈에서의 납과 카드뮴 농도를 분석하였다. 연구에 이용된 시료는 황새목(n=10), 기러기목 (n=3), 매목 (n=7), 도요목 (n=8), 비둘기목 (n=2) 그리고 참새목 (n=6)이었다. 간에서 납 농도는 도요목<기러기목<황새목<매목<참새목<황새목<기러기목<매목<참새목

This study demonstrated the effects of extracts from the mushroom Keumsa sangwhang(Phellinus linteus) (KPLE) on fasting glucose and cholesterol levels in human blood. In this double-blind, placebo-controlled human intervention study, healthy volunteers were randomized to receive 3.3 g of KPLE (n=31) or placebo (n=31) per day by oral administration for 8 weeks. The cholesterol and fasting serum glucose levels were evaluated before and after treatment. The fasting serum glucose level was significantly decreased by KPLE administration (p<0.01), but the total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDLcholesterol and LDL-cholesterol concentrations did not change. This study suggests a possibility that KPLE may be useful as a functional food for the prevention of diabetes mellitus.

In the autumn of 2000 and spring of 2001, field surveys were conducted to estimate the effectiveness of artificial reefs (type cube, 2×2×2m3) that were established in the four islands of Bangnyeong, Socheong, Daeyeonpyeong and Ganghwa in Kyonggi Bay, the west coast of Korea during 1995 and 1996. The condition of reefs was examined through SCUBA diving and a side-scan sonar. Much of the reefs in Daeyeonpyeong and Ganghwa area were buried in bottom sediment. Despite an intensive search in Bangnyeong area, even a cluster of reefs was not found and most of them seemed to be buried by sand waves. Thus an appropriate investigation on the sediment transport should be included in pre-assessment for the expected performance and protection of artificial reefs. Distribution of average CPUE in natural fishing ground (control) was estimated by bootstrapping simulation and possible comparison of CPUE between control and reef areas (treatment) were made in Bangnyeong and Socheong (Experiment I). Positive reef effect was detected in Socheong but CPUE of treatment in Bangnyeong was varied between or lower than the 99% CPUE confidence intervals of the control. Control/treatment abundance and biomass of fishes and invertebrates were tested by paired t-test and sign test (Experiment II). Only four cases among 22 showed significant positive effect. Based on the results, the cube artificial reef in Socheong was inferred as an affirmative one. Floor type was hypothesized to be one of the probable agents in determining the effectiveness of artificial reefs.

This study is to examine the Severe-Ornament (Vyuha :Sanskrit) of wooden pagodas in Shilla period in order to assume a detailed shape of wooden pagodas called the palace style, the multi-story style, the towered namsion style, that were built at the temples in Gyeongju during Shilla period. The Severe-Ornament had been used traditionally by installing a Buddhist image, Guardians, Sarira and by printing a color. The other hand, The roof tiles and tiles were annexed to the Severe-Ornament so as to enhance the value of the wooden pagodas. The Vyuha had been used not only to install a highly valued Buddhist image in the wooden pagodas but also to represent an important part of ritual art of Silla period. Therefore, it was possible to find out a variety of details of the wooden pagodas in Shilla period.

캠벨과 거봉을 이용하여 여러 가지 압착방법에 따른 착즙액의 이화학적 및 관능적 특성을 조사하였다. 수율의 경우 캠벨, 거봉이 동일하게 냉압처리보다는 온압처리가, 온압처리에서도 낮은 온도보다는 높은 온도에서 수율이 높게 나타났으며, 또 온압 · 펙틴분해 병행처리가 각각 83.5% , 87.3%로 가장 높은 수율을 나타내었다. 또한 당도와 아미노테 질소도 열처리온도의 상승 및 압착방법의 병행에 의해 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 적정산도는 캠밸과 거봉이 압착방법에 따라 각각 0.86 ~ 1.00%, 0.60 ~ 0.69%로 거봉에 비해 캠벨의 산도가 높았으며, 열처리온도가 산도 증감에 더 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 압착방법에 따른 착즙액에 대한 관능검사 결과 열처리 온도의 상승 및 착즙액에 대한 관능검사 결과 열처리온도의 상승 및 압착방법의 병행에 의해 떫은 맛과 산맛의 강도가 강하여지고 이들 처리구의 기호도가 높은 것으로 나타났다.
