PURPOSES : This study evaluates the effectiveness of traffic flow optimization when giving safety strategy guidance to a connected autonomous vehicle (CAV) based on information received through infrastructure cooperation in a V2X environment for non-signal intersection. METHODS : To evaluate the effectiveness of safety strategy guidance based on developed traffic flow control algorithm at a non-signalized intersection, it was implemented on simulation. A scenario based on the Level of Service (LOS) and the market penetration rate(MPR) of autonomous vehicles was established. The simulation results were divided into safety, operation, and environment to evaluate the effect, and the effect of optimizing traffic flow was finally derived through the integrated evaluation score. RESULTS : As a result, when safety strategy guidance was provided, the number of conflicts and CO emissions decreased by about 29% and about 15%, improving safety and environmental performance. In the case of operation, the mean of delay time was increased overall by 1%, but in the case of MPR 50 and above, the delay time was reduced by about 38%, thereby increasing operation. Finally, the aspect of traffic flow optimization, effectiveness of safety strategy guidance was derived through the integrated evaluation score, and the average integrated evaluation score improved from MPR 20 or higher. CONCLUSIONS : Providing guidance had the effect of optimizing traffic flow at a non-signal intersection. In the future, V2X communications will provide CAV with algorithm-based guidance developed in this study to control driving behavior. it will support safe and efficient driving at non-signal intersections.

In this study, we examined the effects of gamma irradiation dosage on the mycelial growth of Auricularia auriculajudae and performed analyses of fruiting body yield, growth characteristics, taste, fragrance, and mineral composition. Assessments of mycelial growth in response to gamma irradiation at different intensities revealed an enhancement in the growth of fungi exposed to irradiation at 200 Gy. Fruiting body yield was also highest at 200 Gy, followed by 800 Gy and the control group. On the basis of these observations, we subsequently applied gamma ray doses of 200 and 800 Gy to examine the effects of irradiation on fungal quality characteristics. In terms of the taste of fruiting bodies, we detected no significant differences among the control, 200 Gy, and 800 Gy groups. Contrastingly, with respect to fragrance, we found that fungi treated with 200 Gy were characterized by a pattern that differed from those of the control and other treatment groups. Furthermore, whereas we detected no significant difference among treatments with respect total dietary fiber content, calcium content was found to be higher in the treatment groups compared with the control group, with the highest content being measured in fungi exposed to 800 Gy irradiation. Copper content was confirmed to be higher in the control group, whereas there were no significant differences between the fungi irradiated with 200 and 800 Gy. Contrastingly, the highest levels of zinc were detected in response to 200 Gy irradiation, followed by 800 Gy. Collectively, our findings thus indicate that gamma irradiation can contribute to promoting increases in the fruiting body yield and mineral contents of mushrooms.

This experiment investigated the effects of feed additives of Sasa quelpaertensis Nakai (SQN) extract on Landrace pigs on economic traits such as the quality, physiological characteristics, and productivity. Sixteen pigs with an average age of 154 days were selected as experimental subjects. The experiment was conducted by dividing the group into eight pigs for the supplementation group, feeding with SQN extract, and another eight for the control group feeding without SQN extract. Water was fed ad libitum. On the 30th day, there was no significant difference between meat quality and productivity. However, the glucose and thyroxine were statistically lower with the supplementation group than with the control group (p<0.05). Also, the levels of creatinine difference between 1.18 ± 0.12 ㎎/㎗ with the supplementation group and 0.70 ± 0.06 ㎎/㎗ with the control group (p<0.05). However, all serum biochemistry values were within a normal range, with no health problems. The present study will help solve the problem of reducing the diversity of plant species in Halla Mountain by increasing the availability of the SQN as a pig feed additive.

This study was performed to investigate immune changes by comparing the proportion and function of immune cells in the blood under high-temperature period and convalescence temperature period in Holstein dairy cows. The experiment was conducted using Holstein dairy cows of five animals per group (60 ± 20 months old, 175 ± 78 non-day) from the National Institute of Animal Science at high-temperature period (THI: 76 ± 1.2) and convalescence temperature period (THI: 66 ± 1.3). Complete blood count results showed no change in the number of immune cells between groups. In the analysis using Flow Cytometry of PBMCs, no significant differences were observed among B cells, Helper T cells, cytotoxic T cells, and γδ T cells between groups. However, there was an increase in Th17 cells producing IL-17a, while Th1 cells decreased during the convalescence temperature period. The results of gene expression analysis using qRT-PCR in PBMCs revealed an increase in IL-10 during the convalescence temperature period, while a decrease in HSP70 and HSP90 was observed. In conclusion, the increased expression of IL-10 and the decrease in HSP expression suggest the possibility of a weak recovery from heat stress. However, the lack of observed changes in B cells, T cells, and other immune cells indicates incomplete recovery from heat stress during the convalescence temperature period.

큰징거미새우(Macrobrachium rosenbergii)는 양식 시설 내에서 체색 불량 및 갑각 약화와 같은 문제로 경제적 손실을 겪고 있다. 이 종은 동물성 원료 기반의 사료로 양식되지만, 야생에서는 식물체 비중이 높은 detritus를 주로 섭취한다. 새우가 야생에서 섭취한 식물체는 기본 영양소 뿐만 아니라 체색의 재료인 카로티노이드의 공급원이기도 하다. 개나리(Forsythia koreana)는 우리나라에 널리 분포하는 꽃나무로 잎에는 황색 당근에 버금가는 양의 카로티노이드가 함유 되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 큰징거미새우에게 개나리 잎을 공급하여 체색 및 건강도에 미치는 효과를 조사하였다. 실험사료는 「배합사료 100%(대조구), CON」, 「배합사료 80%+개나리 잎 분말 20%, FP」, 「배합사료 80%+가공하지 않은 개나리 잎 20%, FL」의 세 가지였으며, 각 조건 의 사료를 평균 체중 1.1 ± 0.2 g의 어린 새우들에게 10주간 공급하였다. 실험 결과, 체색의 경 우, CON의 새우들은 일관적으로 투명한 상아색을 띠었으나, FP와 FL 새우의 경우 사육일의 경과에 따라 푸른색을 거쳐 암갈색으로 변화하였다. 생존과 성장은 CON과 FP 또는 FL 사이에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 간췌장을 조직학적으로 비교한 결과, hepatopancreatic tubule의 구성 세포 중 B cell의 vacuole 크기가 CON에 비해 FP과 FL에서 훨씬 컸다. B cell의 vacuole은 영 양소의 흡수 및 소화의 역할을 하며, 개나리 잎의 공급이 큰징거미새우의 건강에 긍정적으로 작용했을 가능성을 시사한다. 이상의 결과는 큰징거미새우의 양식에 개나리 잎을 활용하면 성장 저해 없이 체색의 개선 및 건강도의 향상을 기대할 수 있음을 보여준다.

PURPOSES : This study was conducted to evaluate the physical properties of the RAP 50 asphalt mixture containing polymer modified rejuvenator and warm-mix additive to improve the recycling rate of RAP and reduce CO2 emission. METHODS : Mix design of Polymer Modified Warm-mix Asphalt Mixture(RAP 50), and Hot Mix Asphalt Mixture(RAP 30) were produced and the properties of asphalt mixture such as Marshall Stability, ITS, Deformation Strength, TSR, and Dynamic Stability were compared between the two asphalt mixtures. RESULTS : The RAP 50 asphalt mixture showed superior or similar performances compared to the RAP 30 asphalt mixture in all the tests conducted. The results of the Marshall stability and dynamic stability in particular were 13,045N and 3,826 pass/mm, which were 11.37% and 76.7% greater than the RAP 30 asphalt mixture, which indicated that high plastic deformation resistance may be expected. CONCLUSIONS : The results obtained from laboratory tests on the two types of mixtures indicated that the use of polymer modified rejuvenator and warm-mix additive not only allows to increase the proportion of RAP but also improves its properties under lower temperature condition than RAP 30 asphalt mixture. Additionally, it was confirmed that plastic deformation resistance was high and moisture resistance and crack resistance were improved for a RAP 50 asphalt mixture.

γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a natural stress-reducing substance and is actively used as a human health supplement. However, minimal research has been conducted on its use in cattle. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of GABA on the growth performance, complete blood count, blood metabolites, and carcass characteristics of fattening Hanwoo steers. Twenty-one fattening steers were randomly assigned to one of three treatments: control (basal diet: concentrate feed + rice straw), T1 (basal diet + GABA supplement at 0.8% of feed/head/day), and T2 (basal diet + GABA supplement at 1.6% of feed/head/day). Feed intake and conversion ratio did not differ among the treatments. However, the average daily gain during the early fattening period increased linearly to 0.80 kg, 0.86 kg, and 0.92 kg in the control, T1, and T2 groups (p<0.05). Plasma γ-glutamyl transferase (37.5, 58.2, 42.8 U/ℓ) and creatinine (1.32, 1.34, 1.49 ㎎/㎗) levels in the GABA supplement group were increased compared to those in the control group. The carcass weight (422.7, 427.1, 454.1 kg), rib eye area (86.67, 92.57, 91.14 cm2), and marbling score (3.67, 4.29, 4.14) were numerically higher in the GABA supplement group than in the control group. Thus, GABA supplementation positively affected the average daily gain and carcass characteristics of Hanwoo steers. However, the effect of the GABA supplement level of GABA was small, and further research using rumen-protected coating technology on GABA is necessary.

본 연구는 어촌다운 어촌 조성과 추후 어촌 개발 사업의 근거 및 방향을 제시하는 것을 목적으로 ‘어촌 다움’을 키워드로 텍스트마이닝 분석을 진행하였다. 텍스트마이닝은 온라인상의 비정형 데이터를 분 석하는 방법으로 키워드의 등장 횟수를 나타내는 키워드 빈도분석, 키워드 간의 관계를 시각화하여 나 타내는 N-gram 분석, 텍스트에 나타나는 사람들의 의견이나 성향을 분석하는 감성분석을 통해 다음과 같은 결론을 내렸다. 첫째, ‘어촌다움’ 키워드는 어촌뿐만 아니라 농촌, 산촌 등 타 촌락과의 연관성이 있으며, 상호 관계와 고유한 조건 속에서 특성이 나타나고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 둘째, ‘어촌다움은’ 크게 자연·역사 경관의 보전 및 회복과 주민들의 정주여건 및 환경개선 총 두 가지 방향으로 구분할 수 있었 다. 셋째, ‘어촌다움’ 키워드에 가장 연관이 있었던 어촌 개발 사업인 어촌뉴딜 사업은 감성분석 결과 긍정적인 역할을 했으나 ‘어촌다움’의 일부인 어촌 주민의 정주여건 개선 및 정주기반 구축은 아직 미 비하며, 개선이 필요함을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구는 ‘어촌다움’과 유사한 키워드인 ‘어촌스러움’, ‘어촌다 운’ 등의 키워드를 함께 분석하지 못한 한계점이 있으며, 향후 이러한 키워드와의 종합적인 분석과 어 촌지역 정주기반에 대한 세부적인 방향 제시가 필요할 것으로 판단한다.

The consumption of enoki mushrooms has been associated with cases of listeriosis produced by Listeria monocytogenes, highlighting the significance of sanitizing food-contact surface, such as the velcro used in welding processing of enoki mushrooms, to ensure microbial safety. We investigated the inhibitory activity of nine chemical disinfectants at regular concentrations against L. monocytogenes isolated from a mushroom farm environment. The bacterial suspension was prepared in phosphate buffered saline and mushroom extract broth and inoculated onto the velcro surface. After inoculation, most disinfectants reduced the initial 8 log CFU/coupon concentration by less than 2 log CFU/coupon during a 5-min treatment. Slightly acidic hypochlorous water showed a reduction of approximately 4 log CFU/coupon when tested for more than 30 min at the maximum allowable concentration of 200 mg/L. Sodium hypochlorite solution showed a reduction of approximately 5 log CFU/coupon when used at 100 mg/L for 60 min. Peracetic acid, at the maximum allowable concentration of 300 mg/L, showed the most effective reduction of 5 log CFU/coupon or more when the surface was treated with 37.5 mg/L for 30 min. These results indicate that peracetic acid can be used as the disinfectant strategy to control cross-contamination of L. monocytogenes on the velcro surface of plastic wrappers used in the welding processing of enoki mushrooms.

This study presents an analysis of bycatch data concerning Pacific white-sided dolphins (Lagenorhynchus obliquidens) along the Korean coast from 2016 to 2021. A total of 503 bycatches were examined, encompassing data on year, month, body length, sex, latitude (N), longitude (E), and fishing gear. Bycatch was the most frequent in waters with a longitude of less than 130°E, particularly in the southern coastal region at a latitude of 35.5°N, with a higher likelihood of bycatch in lower latitudes. Since 2017, a decreasing trend in bycatches has been observed. The sex distribution of bycaught dolphins showed a predominance of males (40%), followed by females (31%), with an unclassified category at 29%, though no statistically significant differences were found (p > 0.05). Seasonal analysis indicated that bycatch predominantly occurred during the winter months, with significant monthly variations (p < 0.01). Pacific white-sided dolphins were primarily ensnared in gill nets and, to a lesser extent, in stationary nets. Statistical analysis by gear type revealed a significant preference for gill nets (p < 0.001). Considering body length composition in relation to latitude, it is suggested that Pacific white-sided dolphins may utilize the southern waters of the East Sea as a potential nursery ground, though this was not confirmed at a significant level, emphasizing the need for further in-depth monitoring and ecological investigations. Given that there are approximately 27 different types of gill nets associated with the majority of bycatches, more detailed research is warranted to divide these gear types into finer subcategories for estimating bycatch relationships, ultimately leading to the development of effective conservation and management strategies.

This study investigated the changes in the cyanogenic glycoside (CN-Glc) content of maesil chung (MC) prepared according to its preparation conditions (i.e., maesil part, sugar type, maesil-sugar mixing ratio, liquid separation) and sugaring-ripening period and the quality characteristics of their products finalized through filtration and heat treatment (85oC, 30 min) with the 6-month ripened MC. The CN-Glc content dramatically decreased when the maesil flesh, isomaltooligosaccharide, maesil:sugar ratio of 5:5, and liquid separation after the 4-month sugaring were applied to the MC production. The CN-Glc content decreased with the ripening period. There was no effect of filtration and heat treatment on the CN-Glc reduction of the MC product. The sugar type predominantly affected the soluble solid and total carbohydrate content of the MC products, and their contents increased in the order of high-fructose corn syrup > sucrose > isomaltooligosaccharide. The MC product at a maesil:sugar ratio of 6:4 exhibited the higher organic acid content. There was no direct association between the total polyphenolic compound content and the preparation conditions of the MC product. Overall, the use of maesil flesh as a maesil ingredient and more than 6-month ripening after liquid separation may be a pivotal factor in producing the cyanogenic glycoside-reduced maesil chung.

The objective of this study was to investigate changes in the cyanogenic glycoside (CN-Glc) content of apricot and plum chungs over the sugaring-ripening period and to evaluate their quality characteristics. The whole and flesh parts of the apricot and plum were mixed with sugar to a mixing ratio of 1:1 (w/w) to prepare their chungs, after which the fruit-sugar mixtures were stored for 13 months. The CN-Glc content dramatically increased within 3-4 months, reached the maximum, and gradually decreased over storage by 13 months. The apricot and plum chungs with seeds exhibited much higher CN-Glc contents than those without seeds. All chungs stored for 10 months were filtrated and treated for 30 min at 85oC to measure their quality characteristics. Similar soluble solid contents (53.4- 53.6oBx) were found in all chungs. The apricot and plum chungs without seeds exhibited the higher concentrations of total carbohydrate, organic acid, and total polyphenolic compounds than those with seeds. In addition, the color of the apricot and plum chungs without seeds was darker and deeper yellow than those with seeds. Overall, the apricot and plum flesh may be better for producing the stone fruit chungs with minimal CN-Glc content and better nutrition.
