Radish is an important root vegetable in the world, and many cultivars have been developed with various molecular marker systems to identify these cultivars. Recently developed markers for radish cultivar identification require only 11 primer pairs, but they still use conventional PCR with different annealing temperatures and time-consuming gel electrophoresis. To improve the genotyping method, we applied touchdown PCR with 11 primers with M13 tails among 105 radish cultivars. Touchdown PCR successfully generated amplicons in all 11 M13-tailed primers with a condition of annealing temperature starting from 55℃, decreased by 1°C and 33 cycles at 53°C. The 11 M13-tailed primers followed by fragment analysis produced 71 amplicons, which produced more amplicons than gel electrophoresis that produced 23 amplicons. Especially, simple sequence repeats produced more amplicons, 12 on average, than the other marker types. The present study requires less effort and provides more accurate results compared to genotyping using gel electrophoresis. Besides, a database can be established using digitized genotyping results among radish cultivars.

유엔레바논평화유지군 예하의 해상임무단은 유엔의 평화유지임무 중 최초이 자 유일하게 해양에서 활동 중인 조직이다. 이 연구는 해상임무단이 수행 중인 위임명령에 근거를 제공하는 유엔 안전보장이사회 결의(이하 ‘안보리 결의’)들 을 종합적으로 분석하였다. 분석의 시간적 범위는 해상임무단이 임무를 시작한 2006년부터 2023년 현재까지이다. 특히, 이 연구는 해상임무단이 유엔의 군사계 획수립절차를 통하여, 개념적인 성격의 안보리 결의를 구체적인 군사작전으로 전환한 다음, 해양에서 이를 실제로 이행한 과정에 대하여 중점적으로 분석하 였다. 이와 같은 분석을 통하여 이 연구는 해상임무단의 활동이 2단계로 구분되는 것을 확인하였다. 2006년부터 2017년까지의 1단계에서는 해양작전의 체계를 확립하는 데 중점을 두었다면, 2018부터 2023년까지의 2단계에서는 레바논 해군 의 역량 강화가 해상임무단 활동의 주된 목표이다. 이와 같은 단계의 구분을 통하여 현재 해상임무단이 중점적으로 추진 중인, 임무단이 운용하는 함정의 척수를 줄이는 것은 2단계의 목표 즉, 레바논 해군의 능력을 강화하는 것과 연 결된 것임을 확인하였다. 그리고 이는 유엔레바논평화유지군의 전체적인 역량 이 감소되는 것으로 해석되어서는 안 된다는 논리에 타당한 근거를 제공한다. 한편, 해상임무단의 활동은 향후 해양에서 평화유지활동을 수행하게 될 조직 들에게 선행 사례로 제시될 수 있다. 특히, 이 연구에서 강조한 평화유지활동을 기획하는 과정에서 안보리 결의를 명확하게 분석하여 적용해야 한다는 점은 미 래 해양에서 실시하게 될 평화유지활동에 교훈을 제공한다.

When storing spent fuel in a dry condition, it becomes essential to ensure that any remaining moisture bound to the canister and spent fuel is effectively removed and stored within an inert gas environment. This is crucial for preserving the integrity of the spent fuel. According to the NRC- 02-07-C-006 report, it is advised to reduce pressure gradually or in incremental stages to prevent the formation of ice. In the context of vacuum drying, it is desirable to perform testing using a prototype model; however, utilizing a prototype model can be difficult due to budget constraints. To address this limitation, we designed and constructed a laboratory-scale vacuum drying apparatus. Our aim was to assess the impact of vacuum pump capacity on the drying process, as well as to evaluate the influence of canister volume on drying efficiency. The vacuum drying tests were carried out until the surface temperature of the water inside reached 0.1°C. In the tests focusing on vacuum pump capacity, vacuum pumps with capacities of 100, 200, 400, and 600 liters were employed. The outcomes of these tests indicated that smaller vacuum pump capacities resulted in increased evaporation rates but also prolonged drying times. In the case of drying tests based on canister volume, canisters with volumes of approximately 100 and 200 liters were utilized. The results revealed that larger canister volumes led to longer drying times and lower rates of evaporation. Consequently, if we were to employ an actual dry storage cask for vacuum drying the interior of the canister, it is anticipated that the process would require a substantial amount of time due to the considerably larger volume involved.

2022년 10월부터 2023년 5월까지 친환경 딸기재배 농가에서 점박이응애는 칠레이리애응애와 사막이리응애, 진딧물은 콜레마니진디벌을 대상으로 하는 천적처리구와 유기농자재를 사용하는 관행방제구에서 천적의 해 충 밀도억제 효과를 조사하였다. 천적처리구에서 점박이응애 성충 밀도는 잎당 1.5마리 이하, 알은 4개 이하로 관리되었고, 사막이리응애는 잎당 최대 0.4마리까지 증가하여 점박이응애 밀도억제에 많은 영향을 미친것으로 보인다. 반면, 관행방제구에서 점박이응애 밀도는 천적 방사구에 비하여 오히려 많은 발생량을 보였지만, 3월 9일부터는 사막이리응애의 증가와 유기농자재의 효과로 점박이응애 밀도는 급격하게 감소하였다. 진딧물 천적 처리구에서 진딧물 밀도는 1월부터 발생하였으며 3월 상순에 잎당 0.3마리까지 증가하였으나 이후 감소하였고, 콜레마니진디벌은 진딧물 발생이 많지 않아 3.9마리/㎡(2회) 방사하는 데 그쳤다. 한편, 관행방제구 포장의 진딧 물은 유기농자재의 영향으로 거의 발생하지 않았다.

With the dramatic advance in artificial intelligence, the use of an AI anchor in the news industry is a subject of great interest. An AI anchor is a computer-generated news anchor that mimics the human voice, appearance, and facial expressions to present the news. As the focus of this study is to investigate how the news media utilize an AI anchor in the news program, the research questions are as follows: (1) What are the differences in news topics between AI and human anchors? (2) How does the viewership differ based on these topic choices, with a focus on the emotional impact?

There is a need to develop a quantitative residual water measurement method to reduce the measurement uncertainty of the amount of residual water inside the canister after the end of vacuum drying. Therefore, a lab-scale vacuum drying apparatus was fabricated and its characteristics were evaluated by performing vacuum drying experiments based on the amount of residual water, vacuum drying experiments based on the surface area of residual water, and vacuum drying experiments based on the energy of residual water using the lab-scale vacuum drying apparatus. As a result of the vacuum drying experiments, if the surface area of water is the same, the greater the amount of water, the greater the energy of the water, so more energy is transferred to the surface of the water. Therefore, more water evaporated, and the average temperature of the remaining water was higher. The larger the surface area of the water, the more energy it takes to vaporize it, so the faster it dries and the faster the drying time. Before ice formed, energy was actively transferred by conduction heat transfer from the top, center, and bottom of the water to provide the energy needed for the water to evaporate from the surface. However, no energy was transferred from the water just before it turned into ice. When vacuum drying water, you can dry more water if you dry it slowly over a longer period of time. Therefore, by using a vacuum pump with a low flow rate, the pressure can be lowered slowly to prevent ice from freezing, thereby improving the drying quantity. It was evaluated that there was a good agreement between the energy used when water evaporated and the energy absorbed from the surroundings to within about 4%. Therefore, if the energy absorbed from the surroundings is known, it is possible to evaluate the amount of water evaporated in vacuum drying.

Labidocera pavo Giesbrecht, 1889 and L. sinilobata Shen and Lee, 1963, belonging to the detruncata group in the genus Labidocera were collected from the southwestern coastal waters of Korea, using a Norpac net (0.2 mm mesh size). Labidocera sinilobata, known to be endemic species in estuary of Chinese rivers, is the first record in Korean waters. In Chinese waters, this species has only been briefly documented and illustrated. In the study, their morphological characteristics were fully redescribed with careful examination of the fine epidermal structure using a SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) in addition to their illustrations and compared with species of the detruncata species-group.
