The purpose of this study was to confirm the quality characteristics of distilled soju with different rice pretreatment processes. The non-steamed fermentation method is a technology that uses starch to produce saccharification and alcohol without going through the steaming of raw materials. It has advantages such as reduction of manpower and cost, prevention of nutrient loss, and minimization of waste water. In this study, rice used were non-steamed and pulverized 'Baromi2', nonsteamed and steamed ‘Samgwang’, and puffed rice. As the fermenting agent, koji, modified nuruk, N9 yeast, and purified enzyme were used, and lactic acid was added to prevent contamination during fermentation. The amount of water was 300% in total, and after the first watering, 5 days after fermentation, the second watering was carried out. As a result of the study, it was confirmed that the non-steamed fermentation method using ‘Baromi’ was superior to the existing fermentation method in terms of temperature during fermentation, final alcohol content, soluble solids, and pH. By expanding the stability of the production technology of non-steamed fermentation technology, product quality improvement can be expected.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Cheonggukjang pills with aronia and blueberries on dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis in mice. There have been several reports that Cheonggukjang is effective for intestinal health, but the efficacy of Cheonggukjang containing fruits has not yet been reported. In this study, we showed the effect of cheonggukjang pills with blueberries and aronia (CPBA) on DSS-induced colitis in BALB/c mice. CPBA was obtained from Soonchang Moonokae foods and orally administered once a day for 2 weeks before DSS treatment. Colitis was induced in mice by feeding 5% (w/v) DSS drinking water for 7 days. The results showed that CPBA treatment significantly alleviated DSS-induced disease activity index associated with a decrease in colon length. CPBA improved DSS-induced histological changes and intestinal epithelial barrier integrity in mice colon. In addition, CPBA administration significantly reduced the levels of DSS-mediated interferon-γ and interleukin-6 in serum and tumor necrosis factor-α in colon tissue. Moreover, the gene expression of COX-2 and iNOS, which are factors involved in inflammatory signaling, was significantly reduced by CPBA treatment. These results suggest that CPBA have a protective effect against DSS-induced mice colitis and may be a candidate for colitis treatment.

This study investigated the potential role of dietary factors associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in Koreans. The scoping review method was used to evaluate the studies that utilized the secondary data sets comprising the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) and the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES). Articles published between 2012 and 2022 were identified using RISS, KISS, DBpia, PubMed, and ScienceDirect databases. In all, there were 32 published articles on obesity and 119 on MetS. Obesity research included eight articles on nutrients, 12 on food items/food groups, two on dietary patterns, nine on dietary behavior/eating habits, and one on the dietary index. MetS studies comprised 34 articles on nutrients, 43 on food items/food groups, seven on dietary patterns, 25 on dietary behavior/eating habits, and 10 on the dietary index. Carbohydrates, alcohol, and coffee consumption were the most frequently studied dietary factors for obesity and MetS. The primary areas of study were largely focused on nutrients and food items/food groups. Thus, to overcome the paucity of information on the relationship of dietary patterns and dietary indexes with obesity and MetS, there is a need for further research using the KNHANES and KoGES data sets.

Barnea manilensis is a bivalve which bores soft rocks, such as, limestone or mudstone in the low intertidal zone. They make burrows which have narrow entrances and wide interiors and live in these burrows for a lifetime. In this study, the morphology and the microstructure of the valve of rock-boring clam B. manilensis were observed using a stereoscopic microscope and FE-SEM, respectively. The chemical composition of specific part of the valve was assessed by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis. 3D modeling and structural dynamic analysis were used to simulate the boring behavior of B. manilensis. Microscopy results showed that the valve was asymmetric with plow-like spikes which were located on the anterior surface of the valve and were distributed in a specific direction. The anterior parts of the valve were thicker than the posterior parts. EDS results indicated that the valve mainly consisted of calcium carbonate, while metal elements, such as, Al, Si, Mn, Fe, and Mg were detected on the outer surface of the anterior spikes. It was assumed that the metal elements increased the strength of the valve, thus helping the B. manilensis to bore sediment. The simulation showed that spikes located on the anterior part of the valve received a load at all angles. It was suggested that the anterior part of the shell received the load while drilling rocks. The boring mechanism using the amorphous valve of B. manilensis is expected to be used as basic data to devise an efficient drilling mechanism.

Public complaints arising from centralized animal manure treatment plants are increasing due to the odors produced during animal manure treatment. Various physico chemical and biological methods are used to mitigate such odors. Still, many problems exist, such as a lack of fundamental data on odor generation characteristics and design standards for odor mitigation facilities. Therefore, this study evaluated the characteristics of NH3 and H2S gas produced from a centralized animal manure treatment plant. The centralized animal manure treatment plant selected in this study has a treatment capacity of 150 tons (animal manure and food waste) per day. The composting matrix was mechanically turned from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm on weekdays and not turned all day on weekends. The NH3 concentrations measured during the day on weekdays (96.4 ± 7.8 ppmv) were about 14% higher than on weekends (84.9 ± 15.9 ppmv). During the week, the ammonia concentration during the day was about 15% higher than at night, but there was no difference between day and night on weekends. The hydrogen sulfide concentration during the day (4,729 ± 3,687 ppbv) on a weekday was about 4.7 times higher than at night (1,007 ± 466 ppbv). The results of this study provide valuable information that is necessary for the operation of odor mitigation facilities. It is expected that the results will contribute to establishing an operational strategy that can reduce the energy required to collect exhaust gas.

This study evaluated the odor mitigation effect of rice husk biochar addition to the bedded pack dairy barn floor using lab-scale reactors for five days. Rice husk biochar mixed with dairy manure and sawdust mixture at different ratios (5%-addition test unit: adding biochar by 5% of the total solid weight of the mixture, 10%-addition test unit: adding biochar by 10% of the total solid weight of the mixture). Cumulative NH3 and H2S emissions of 10%-addition test unit were reduced by 26% (p< 0.05) and 46% (p = 0.0655), respectively, compared with control. However, 5%-addition test unit did not show NH3 and H2S emission reduction. Further research is needed to determine the appropriate level of biochar addition between 5 and 10%, and to evaluate applicability in the field through economic analysis.

한우 개량에 있어서 추정된 유전체육종가와 정확도는 선발에 중요한 지표로 사용되며, 최근 육종가 추정에 있어 정확도의 신뢰도를 높이기 위해 혈통과 유전체정보를 이용한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구는 가계 내 유전체정보량에 따라 유전체정보가 미포함된 개체의 정확도 변화를 확인하고자 동일한 부모를 가진 한우 10두로 구성된 전형매 가계 3개를 수집하였으며, 각 가계 별로 유전체정보량을 10두, 8두, 6두, 4두, 2두씩 무작위로 선별하여 5가지의 검정집단으로 가정한 후 참조집단 14,225두를 이용하여 single step genomic best linear unbiased prediction (ssGBLUP)을 통해 genomic estimated breeding value (GEBV) 및 정확도를 추정하였다. 각 검정집단과 참조집단의 혈통 및 유전체정보 를 이용하여 H-matrix를 구축하였고, BLUPF90 program을 사용하여 도체중, 등심단면적, 등지방두께, 근내지방도의 GEBV 및 정확도를 추정하였 다. 첫 번째 가계를 대상으로 살펴보면, 검정집단에서 유전체정보를 보유하고 있는 10두의 GEBV 평균 정확도는 도체중 0.734, 등심단면적 0.717, 등지방두께 0.712, 근내지방도 0.745로 추정되었다. 이후 2두씩 무작위로 유전체정보를 제거하여 추정한 GEBV 정확도를 살펴보면, 유전체정보를 보유한 개체의 경우 정확도의 변화가 나타나지 않았지만, 유전체정보가 미포함된 개체의 정확도가 평균 0.114 ~ 0.168 낮게 추정되었다. 가계 내 유전체정보량에 따른 유전체정보가 미포함된 개체의 GEBV 평균 정확도는 도체중 0.604 ~ 0.576, 등심단면적 0.6 ~ 0.573, 등지방두께 0.599 ~ 0.572, 근내지방도 0.607 ~ 0.578로 평균 0.009씩 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 이를 통해 가계 내 유전체정보량이 개체 별 유전체정보 유무와는 상관없이 GEBV의 정확도 추정에 큰 영향이 없었으며, 신뢰도가 높은 GEBV 추정을 위해서는 개체 별 유전체정보의 유무가 더 큰 영향을 미친다는 것을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 델파이 조사를 통한 초고층건물 빌딩풍 관련 법·제도의 개선방안을 제시하였다. 법·제도의 개선방안을 제시하 기 위하여 언론보도 및 소셜 미디어(social media) 등을 기초로 초고층건물 빌딩풍 관련 사회적 이슈를 조사하여 초고층건물 빌딩풍 관 련 법·제도 정책제안을 도출하였다. 도출된 정책제안은 관련 법·제도의 현황 및 문제점을 분석하여 이를 개선할 수 있는 정책을 제언 하였으며, 해당 정책제언의 적합성을 평가하기 위하여 10인의 초고층건물 빌딩풍 관련 재난 전문가를 대상으로 델파이 조사를 실시하 였다. 전체 중 70% 이상이 해당 정책제안이 적합하다고 평가되었으며, 추가적으로 각각의 정책제안에 대한 중요도를 평가하였다. 본 연구에서 분석한 초고층건물 빌딩풍 관련 법·제도 개선방안은 향후 발생할 수 있는 초고층건물 빌딩풍 재난에 대한 피해 예방을 위하 여 활용될 수 있다.

빌딩풍에 의한 시설물 및 인명 피해에 대한 우려가 커짐과 같이 건물 주위의 풍속 가속화로 인한 보행자 안정성 확보에 대한 우려도 커지고 있다. 풍환경은 도시의 과밀화와 건축물의 고층화를 통해서도 변화하지만, 기존의 노후화된 건축물의 재건축으로 인해 서도 변화한다. 풍환경의 변화로 인한 피해를 줄이기 위해서는 건물 설계 단계부터 풍환경 평가가 되어야 하며, 풍환경 평가 방법에는 풍동실험과 CFD를 이용할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 저층 주거단지가 중고층 아파트단지로 재건축됨에 따라 발생할 수 있는 주 변 지역의 보행자 풍환경 변화를 분석하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위하여 대상 지역의 풍속 및 풍향 특성을 분석하고, 전산유체역 학 해석기법을 이용하여 기존 단지와 재건축 단지로 발생하는 보행자 풍환경을 해석하고 비교 분석하였다. 결과를 이용하여 임계 보 행자 풍속을 초과하는 영역에 대한 공간 분포를 비교함으로써 재건축이 보행자 풍환경에 미치는 영향을 규명하였다.

음식물류폐기물 직매립, 해양투기 등이 금지됨에 따라 음식물류폐기물은 대부분 자원화를 통해 처리되며 퇴비화하여 생산한 음식물류혼합퇴비(이 하, 음폐퇴비)는 작물 생산성을 향상 등을 위하여 농경지에 퇴비로 사용한다. 하지만, 염분 집적에 의한 작물 생육이 우려되며 이에 따른 피해를 줄이기 위하여 음폐퇴비와 블랙카본, 유용 미생물을 함께 사용하면 염분에 의한 피해를 줄일 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 이에 본 연구는 음폐퇴비와 바이오차의 한 종류인 블랙카본, 유용 미생물을 처리 시 상추의 수량과 토양 특성 변화를 알아보고자 하였다. 처리구는 무비구(NF), 무기질 비료 (NPK), 무기질 비료 + 음폐퇴비 (NPKF, 대조구), 무기질 비료 + 음폐퇴비 + 블랙 카본 (NPKFC), 무기질 비료 + 음폐퇴비 + 미생물 (NPKFB), 무기질 비료 + 음폐퇴비 + 블랙카본 + 미생물 (NPKFCB)이다. 상추 생육 조사 결과, 생육 후기인 21일째에 NPKFCB 처리구에서 엽장 20.7 cm, 엽폭 20.2 cm, SPAD-502 32.0으로 가장 생육이 좋았으며, 수량 조사 결과 또한 NPKFCB 처리구에서 주당 총 엽수가 28.8개로 가장 많았다. 수량지수는 무처리가 84.1로 가장 낮았고 NPKFCB 처리구에서 128.7로 가장 높았다. 이는 블랙카본에서 공급되는 K, P, Ca 등의 양분과 미생물 활성화가 작물 생산성 향상에 도움을 준 것으로 판단된다. 토양 화학성 분석 결과 pH는 NPKFB 처리구에서 6.9로 가장 높았으며, EC는 NPKF에서 1.7 dS m-1로 가장 높았다.

In this work, the ablation behavior of monolith ZrB2-30 vol%SiC (Z30S) composites were studied under various oxy-acetylene flame angles. Typical oxidized microstructures (SiO2/SiC-depleted/ZrB2-SiC) were observed when the flame to Z30S was arranged vertically. However, formation of the outmost glassy SiO2 layer was hindered when the Z30S was tilted. The SiC-depleted region was fully exposed to air with reduced thickness when highly tilted. Traces of the ablated and island type SiO2 were observed at intermediate flame angles, which clearly verified the effect of flame angle on the ablation of the SiO2 layer. Furthermore, the observed maximum surface temperature of the Z30S gradually increased up to 2,200 °C proving that surface amorphous silica was continuously removed while monoclinic ZrO2 phase began to be exposed. A proposed ablation mechanism with respect to flame angles is discussed. This observation is expected to contribute to the design of complex-shaped UHTC applications for hypersonic vehicles and re-entry projectiles.

Mushrooms in Naejangsan National Park between May and September of 2021 have been surveyed. In this period, a total of 4 divisions, 9 classes, 25 orders, 72 families, 171 genera, and 381 species, including 3 climate-sensitive biological indicator species were found. The order in which the most diverse array of species was observed is Agaricales, which includes 24 families, 64 genera, and 170 species. Among these, the genus Russula was dominant, with 30 species, followed by the genus Amanita with 27 species. Among the 12 grids we investigated, species diversity was greatest in grid F5, in which 56 species of mushrooms were found. In particular, a large number of ectomycorrhizal mushrooms, including Russula spp. and Lactarius spp. were recognized. We presume that the gentle slopes and the low occurrence of Sasa borealis in this area may create a favorable environment for wild mushrooms. In corroboration, some grids (e.g. F6, F8, and F10) covering steep slopes and harboring large numbers of Sasa borealis contained only 19 species. Based on DNA sequence analysis, the NJ21064 was identified as Chlorophyllum hortense, which is newly recorded in Korea.

본 논문에서는 인력에 의한 외관 조사의 단점을 해결하고 터널 안전 점검의 자동화를 위하여 터널 스캐닝 영상을 통 한 영상접합 자동화 알고리즘을 제시한다. 터널 스캐닝 영상을 통한 안전 점검은 기존 인력에 의한 외관 조사에 비해 조사 기 간과 인력을 크게 줄일 수 있으며 조사자의 안전사고와 교통체증에 따른 사회적 비용을 절감할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 터널 스캐닝 영상 기반 안전 점검을 위해서는 터널 스캐닝 영상의 접합을 통하여 평면 전개 이미지 자동화 생성이 핵심이다. 터널 스캐닝 영상 기반 평면 전개 이미지 생성의 자동화를 위하여 특징점 추출 및 특징점 매칭을 통한 다중촬영 이미지 간 접합 과 정이 주요한 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 터널 평면 전개 이미지 자동화 생성의 주요 요소인 이미지 접합의 성능을 높이고 기존 접합 기술에서 발생하는 오류를 해결하기 위하여 특징점 매칭 선분의 물리적인 특성을 고려하여 매칭 정확도를 높인 기술을 제 안하였다. 터널 이미지 중 약80∼90%를 이루는 타일부와 콘크리트부를 대상으로 기존기술의 특징점 매칭 결과와 제안 기술의 특징점 매칭 결과를 비교분석 하였으며 제안 기술을 통해 매칭 성능이 향상된 것을 확인하였다.

PURPOSES : Experimental findings pertaining to the mechanical properties of calcium aluminate cement (CAC)-based repair mortars incorporated with anhydrite gypsum (AG) are described herein. METHODS : To prepare the mortars, three different levels of AG were adopted and the ratio of water–cementitious materials was fixed at 0.50. For comparison, mortar composed of ordinary Portland cement was prepared. The fluidity, setting time, compressive and bond strengths, absorption and surface electric resistivity of the mortars were measured at predetermined periods. RESULTS : The incorporation of AG increases the fluidity but decreases the setting time of the CAC-based repair material system. However, the AG in the CAC mixes does not effectively enhance the compressive strength of the mortars owing to the decreased formation of CA hydrates, such as CAH10 and C2AH8. Meanwhile, the mortar with 10% AG shows excellence absorption. CONCLUSIONS : The mechanical properties of CAC based-mortars rely significantly on the amount of AG incorporated. However, further studies regarding the microstructure and durability of CAC-AG repair mortars must be conducted to obtain the optimal mixture.

To provide information needed for managing fish resources and protecting the ecosystem of Cheonsu Bay, bimonthly variations in species composition and abundance of fish eggs and larvae were investigated. The samples were collected by using bongo net at three different stations from February 2020 to December 2021. Fish eggs were divided into Engrualis japonicus and unidentified eggs, of which Engragulis japonicus accounted for 85.6% of the total eggs collected. A total of 21 species representing 17 families and 6 orders were collected. The three dominant species were Gobiidae spp, Thryssa hamiltonii and E. japonicus and these three species accounted for 74.1% in the total number of individuals. The number of species was highest in August, 2020 and lowest in February, 2020 and 2021; the number of individuals was highest in August, 2020 and lowest in February, 2020. Temporal changes in the abundances of pelagic eggs and larval fishes corresponded with temperature.

This study aims to investigate the effect of drying temperatures on the quality characteristics and physicochemical properties of vegetables. Lettuce and napa cabbage were dried at 40, 50, and 60oC and analyzed for various quality indexes. Higher drying temperature induced the lower L* and higher a* and b* values of samples. Also, it resulted in lowering the rehydration ratio, pH, and total free amino acid content of dried vegetables. The outcome might be due to the damage to the internal structure of vegetables and the decomposition of free amino acids during thermal treatment. Higher drying temperatures led to higher soluble solid and total polyphenol contents due to the conversion of phenolic compounds from combined to free form during the drying process, which changed phenolic compounds from combined to free form. Consequently, samples dried at higher temperatures had higher DPPH radical scavenging ability. The final moisture content and drying time decreased as the drying temperature increased; moreover, the antioxidant activity increased. A lower drying temperature is beneficial to maintaining the chemical characteristics of crops.

본 연구는 뮤지컬 배우의 효율적 발성 훈련을 통한 보컬 역량의 회복 및 성장에 있어 중추 조절 의 효용성을 알아보는 것에 목적이 있다. 뮤지컬 배우는 폭넓은 음역대와 강도 높은 보컬을 요구 하는 뮤지컬 곡들을 소화하다 보면 목의 긴장에서부터 자유롭지 못하다. 따라서 알렉산더테크닉 의 중추 조절, 즉 목-머리-몸통의 협응이 호흡뿐 아니라 효율적인 발성기관의 운용에 유의미하다 는 이론적 배경을 토대로 목-머리-몸통 관계의 역동성 원리를 발성에 적용하고 효과에 대하여 고 찰하였다. 연구자는 서울 소재 대학교 뮤지컬 전공 여자 5명 남자 5명을 대상으로 주 1회 7주간 중추 조절의 원리를 이해시키고 이를 발성과 뮤지컬 보컬에 적용하였다. 7주간 훈련 후 반 구조화 된 인터뷰와 객관적 측정 도구인 보이스프린트의 자료를 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 중추 조절이 회복되었을 때의 유의한 변화는 첫째, 머리가 떠오르면서 눌린 후두, 갑갑한 호흡, 눌렸던 몸통의 길이와 폭이 회복되어 목-머리-몸통의 연결감과 안정감을 경험했다. 둘째, 음성스케일 시 음질이 선명해지고 후두의 움직임뿐 아니라 음역도 확장되었다. 셋째, 핸즈온(Hands-On) 시 청각적으로 는 음색이 맑고 음정이 안정되었으며 몸 감각적으로는 머리의 진동감과 몸통의 안정감이 강해짐을 경험하였다. 이러한 연구결과는 발성 훈련에 있어 알렉산더 테크닉의 효용성을 시사하며, 구체적 인 실천 모델을 제안함에 그 의의가 있다. 또한, 향후 보다 발전적인 발성 훈련 프로그램 개발 자료로 활용될 가치를 지닌다.
