Abstract Purpose : To investigate the effect of the amount of astigmatism on distance and near vertical heterophoria in adults aged 20~40 years. Methods : Thirty subjects (31.25±10.21 years) were participated, and refraction was performed using I-Profilerplus and a phoropter, and horizontal heterophoria (HH) and vertical heterophoria (VH) teats were conducted at distance and near using a Torrington chart. Results : HH and VH were approximately 0.80 △ (p=0.001) and 0.20 △ (p=0.002) greater at near than at distance, respectively. Spherical refractive errors did not correlate with HH and VH at distance and near. There was no correlation between astigmatism and HH at either distance or near (p=0.141, p=0.318, respectively), but VH at distance and near was significantly correlated with astigmatism (both, p < 0.001), the amount of VH increased with increasing the amount of astigmatism. Conclusion : We found that the amount of astigmatism affected the VH at both distance and near and that the amount of VH increased with increasing astigmatism. These findings suggest that it is important to assess both astigmatism and VH in clinical practice, and that correction of astigmatism may help to reduce symptoms of VH. Key words : Astigmatism, Horizontal heterophoria, Refractive error, Vertical heterophoria

Nitrite and nitrates are usually used in the production of meat products as food additives even though they pose a secondary risk. In this study, the residues of nitrite and nitrate ions in 366 processed meat products distributed in Seoul were analyzed using ion chromatographs and UV spectrophotometers. In all tested products, the residues of nitrite were below 70 mg/kg, which met the processing standard and component specification for livestock products. Evaluation of nitrite ions, revealed a mean concentration of 7.1 - 11.9 mg/kg in hams, sausages, and bacons, while higher ratios of nitrite were found in other types of products. Among the studied processed meat products, at least 60% of hams and sausages had indications of nitrite, as did 90% of bacons and dry meats. No spiced meat and less than 10% of crushed meat had indications of nitrite. However, all dried meats showed below 1 mg/kg, regardless of whether they had indications of nitrite. Up to 9.7 mg/kg of nitrite was detected in the products with no indication of nitrite, and 14.6% of all products had at least 1 mg/kg of nitrite. This can be attributed to the reduction of residual nitrate ions in the products into nitrite ions. A review of the concentrations of nitrate ions in processed meat products by type suggests that the mean concentration was 22.3 (maximum 110.2) mg/kg in hams, 31.8 (maximum 89.5) mg/kg in sausages, 16.4 (maximum 28.2) mg/kg in bacons, 16.8 (maximum 61.1) mg/kg in spiced meats, 20.2 (maximum 99.4) mg/kg in crushed meats, and 121.0 (maximum 216.5) mg/kg in dried meats. Therefore, dried meats showed much higher nitrate ion concentrations than other types of meat products; however, the residue of nitrite ions in actual dried meats was found to be lower than 1 mg/kg, suggesting that the concentrations of nitrate ions do not affect those of nitrite ions. However, a certain concentration of nitrate ions was observed even when nitrate ions were not used in the products, as nitrite ions were transformed into nitrate ions and nitrite ions were detected even the products with no indication of nitrite ions. Therefore, continuous monitoring and preparation of relevant standards of the use of nitrate in processed meat products are necessary.

To determine the contents of sodium and potassium in side dishes, 92 samples from 22 different kinds of side dishes that can be classified into 3 groups were collected in Seoul area and analysed using ICP-OES. The highest sodium content was detected in pepper doenjang muchim, while potassium content was the highest in kong jorim. When comparing the content of sodium and potassium in 3 groups, namely namul, muchim, and jorim, the sodium content of namul group was significantly different from those of jorim and muchim (p-value < 0.05). Sodium intake per serving size was the highest in parae muchim among the samples as estimated to 20.2% of WHO recommendation that is 2,000 mg/day. The amount of sodium by simultaneously intake of soybean sprouts namul, anchovy jorim and parae muchim per one serving size was estimated to 1,000 mg. The potassim/sodium ratios of spinach namul and kong jorim were 1.70 and 0.81, respectively, while that of bracken namul was very low as about 0.1. Foodborne pathogens were not detected out of 92 side dishes.

In this work, we studied the effects of electrochemical oxidation treatments of carbon fibers (CFs) on interfacial adhesion between CF and epoxy resin with various current densities. The surface morphologies and properties of the CFs before and after electrochemical-oxidation-treatment were characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and single-fiber contact angle. The mechanical interfacial shear strength of the CFs/epoxy matrix composites was investigated by using a micro-bond method. From the results, electrochemical oxidation treatment introduced oxygen functional groups and increased roughness on the fiber surface. The mechanical interfacial adhesion strength also showed higher values than that of an untreated CF-reinforced composite.

Although companies have to concentrate on effort to save cost to survive competition, transportation costs are taking more portions in total sales costs due to globalization in the modern times. It is the reason why Transportation Management System TMS is getting more important. However, it is practically difficult for the system to fit to all of transportation environments and actually many problems are taking place with the system. Therefore, a new idea is necessary to solve such problems fundamentally rather than temporarily or superficially. To do so, if TRIZ, which is a theory that systematically establishes creative ideas on the basis of patent analysis, is employed, it can bring forth a guideline with some creative principles that can be applicable in drawing out innovative ideas based on conceptual shift. The present study aims to propose a methodology of how TRIZ should be applied to solve the problems that happen in TMS as a whole. Particularly, the study focuses on how to design customized TMS system that can be employed for each of different situations in a creative way.

This study was conducted to clear the regional difference in the resistance development of the spirodiclofen 36% WP, an acaricide of tetronic acid class, against two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae occurred in apple orchard since 2007. Two-spotted spider mite was collected from eight regions in the Chungnam, Chungbuk and Gyeongbuk that were major apple cultivation in Korea. An bioassay was investigated the ovicidal activity to compare with the degree of resistance development of this pest. The managed orchard in Sancheok-myeon, Myeongseo-ri, Chungju was controlled by several different acaricides from 2001 to 2008, and spirodiclofen WP was used for the last seven years. LC50 of spirodiclofen WP was estimated as 19.4 ppm in managed orchard, it showed as high as 2.6-fold (resistance ratio) comparing to those of susceptible strain showed as 7.5 ppm. LC50 of spirodiclofen WP against etoxazole-resistant two-spotted spider mite, gained from Chungbuk National University, was proved in 8.1 ppm. This observation indicates that spirodiclofen WP did not occurred in cross resistance with etoxazole SC. Other two regions in Chungju, the resistance ratio against spirodiclofen WP showed as 2.5- and 2.3-fold, respectively. In Chungnam, Gyeongbuk, it has been limited the resistance ratio under 3-fold, respectively.

This study was conducted to investigate the regional difference in the degree of resistance development of the spirodiclofen 36% WP, an acaricide of tetronic acid class, against two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae occurred in apple orchard. Two-spotted spider mite was collected from every three regions in the Chungbuk and Gyeongbuk. To compare with the degree of resistance development, this pest was focused on the ovicidal activity (when treated acaricide). The managed orchard in Sancheok-myeon, Myeongseo-ri, Chungju was controlled by several different acaricides from 2001 to 2007, and spirodiclofen WP was used for the last six years. In case of managed orchard, LC50 of spirodiclofen WP was 14.0 ppm, it showed 1.6 fold (resistance ratio) that was estimated as considerably low level resistance ratio comparing to the those of susceptible strain showed in 8.7 ppm. LC50 of spirodiclofen WP against etoxazole-resistant two-spotted spider mite, gained from Chungbuk National University, was investigated in 7.5 ppm. This observation indicates that spirodiclofen WP did not occurred in cross resistance with etoxazole SC. At other regions in Chungju, the resistance ratio against spirodiclofen WP showed as 1.0 and 1.4 fold, respectively. In Gyeongbuk, one region of Yecheon and two regions of Yeongju, it showed as 0.7, 0.8 and 0.9 fold, respectively.
