Barley’s nutritional value as a health food is increasing due to its excellent nutritional functionality. In this study, the levels of β-glucan, total polyphenols, and total flavonoids were analyzed in the ethanol extracts of different barley cultivars (Hinchalssal, Heuksoojeongchal, Betaone, Ganghochung, and Saechalssal). Also, the free radical scavenging abilities of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazil (DPPH) and 2,2’-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzo-thiaxoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) were measured to determine their antioxidant activity. The results confirmed that Betaone extract contained highly activefunctional components and exhibitedantioxidant activity. Next, we evaluated the hepatoprotective and inhibitory effects of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by barley ethanol extracts after inducing oxidative stress with tert-butyl hydroperoxide (tBHP) in HepG2 cells. Hinchalssal and Saechalssal extracts showed the most significant cytoprotective effect and also reduced ROS production significantly. These results suggest that Hinchalssal, Saechalssal, and Betaone represent potential natural antioxidant and hepatoprotective agents.
A trend analysis of research articles in a field of knowledge is significant because it can help in finding out the structural characteristics of the field and the future direction of research through observing change in a time series. We identified the structural characteristics and trends in text data (keywords) gathered from research articles which in itself is an important task in various research areas. The titles and keywords were crawled from research articles published from 2016 to 2018 in the Research Journal of the Costume Culture (RJCC), one of the representative Korean journal in the field of clothing and textile. After we extracted data comprising English titles and keywords from 195 published articles, we transformed it into a 1-mode matrix. We used measures from network analysis (i.e., link, strength, and degree centrality) for evaluating meaningful patterns and trends in the research on clothing and textile. NodeXL was used for visualizing the semantic network. This study observed change in the clothing and textile research trend. In addition to covering the core areas of the field, the subjects of research have been diversifying with every passing year and have evolved onto a developmental direction. The most studied area in articles published by the RJCC was fashion retailing/consumer psychology while aesthetic/historic and fashion industry/policy studies were covered to a more limited extent. We observed that most of the studies reflecting the identity of RJCC share subject keywords to a significant extent.
The purpose of this research aims to reveal how radish kimchi (Jong-ga) differs in Jong-ga recipes and old cookbooks. To accomplish this, old cookbooks ( Soowoonjabbang , Jusiksiui , Eumsikbangmunnira , Siuejunsuh , Banchandeungsok , and Buinpilji ) were reviewed and 8 Jong-ga recipes (Seogye Park Se-dang from the Bannam Park clan Jong-ga, Myungsukgong from the Changnyeong Jo clan Jong-ga, Nampa Park Jae-gyu from the Milyang Park clan Jong-ga, Geunggudang Kim Joong-jeung from the Gwangsan Kim clan Jong-ga, Dongchundang Song Jun-gil from the Eunjin Song clan Jong-ga, Myeongjae Yun Jung from the Papyung Yun clan Jong-ga, Daeseunggong Ryu Cha-dal from the Munhwa Ryu clan Jong-ga, Inmukjae Son Sung-jeung from the Milseong Son clan Jong-ga) from five areas were reviewed. We classified the radish kimchi into five categories, radish kimchi, Dongchimi, kkakdugi, Seokbakji and Nabak kimchi and other kimchi. According to old cookbooks, most kimchi was made with radish, cabbage, cucumber, pear, yuju, fish meat, and salt. Modern Jong-ga is made of seasoned radish, sticky rice paste, seafood, sugar, powdered pepper, fish sauce and salt. This study helps to understand notable clans’ cultures via their recipes for kimchi.

The purposes of this study were to seek beauty industry parts' current social insurance admission status. To achieve the purposes, questionnaire was distributed to a total of 470 beauty artists and data were analyzed by statistical analysis. The result of study proposed that hairdresser showed the highest awareness and field of nail art showed the lowest awareness in social insurance admission status. Social insurance admission status shows that beauty artists in hair field had the most applicants of national pension, health insurance, workers’ compensation insurance and beauty artists of skin field had the highest desire for social insurance application. This study hopes to be used as base line data of social insurance applicants' accurate status and application.
We investigated the pulpal response to direct pulp capping in rat molar teeth using mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and calcium hydroxide (CH). A palatal cavity was prepared in rat maxillary molar teeth. Either MTA or CH was placed on the exposed pulp and all cavities were restored with composite. Rats were sacrificed for histological evaluation after 12 hours and at 2, 7, 14 and 21 days. In both the MTA and CH groups, reparative dentin formation was clearly observed on histology after 14 days. The MTA-capped pulps were found to be mostly free from inflammation, and hard tissue of a tubular consistent barrier was observed. In contrast, in CH-capped teeth, excessive formation of re¬parative dentin toward residual pulp was evident. The pulpal cell response beneath the reparative dentin layer was examined by immunofluorescence using antibodies against DSP. After 2 days, a few DSP immunopositive cells, most of which showed a cuboidal shape, appeared beneath the predentin layer. At 7 days, DSP-immunopositive cells with columnar odontoblast-like cells were seen beneath the newly formed hard tissues. At 14 and 21 days, DSP was more abundant in the vicinity of the odontoblastic process along the dentinal tubules than in the mineralized reparative dentin. The CH group showed strong expression patterns in terms of DSP immunoreactivity. Our results thus indicate that MTA may be a more effective pulp capping material as it induces the differentiation of odontoblast-like cells and the formation of reparative dentin without the loss of residual pulp functions.
In this paper, impregnated activated carbon fiber (IACF) was manufactured to pitch-based activated carbon fibers (ACF) with potassium hydroxide (KOH) by using wet impregnation method to raise nitrogen oxides (NOx) adsorptivity. The properties of IACF were observed using EPMA, TGA and DSC and NOx adsorptivity was observed at high and low temperature. Before and after adsorption was analyzed using ToF-SIMS for examine surface characterization of adsorbed NOx. The results showed that the better adsorptivity appeared for increasing KOH ratio. So, NOx adsorptivity showed result that is proportional between KOH and the adsorbed amount. On the other hand, adsorbent that manufactured without washing was better NOx adsorptivity than adsorbent that manufactured with washing. The behavior of adsorption show that crossing time of NO and NO2 delayed for a rising adsorptivity. And NO ratio increased but NO2 ratio decreased according as KOH ratio increases. NOx was confirmed through surface analysis that remain in NO2- and NO3- form on IACF surface.
There are Two new models developed for objective evaluation of fabric color patterns by applying a multiple regression analysis and an adaptive foray-rule-based system. The physical features of fabric color patterns are extracted through digital image processing and the emotional features are collected based on the psychological experiments of Soen[3, 4]. The principle physical features are hue, saturation, intensity and the texture of color patterns. The emotional features arc represented thirteen pairs of adverse adjectives. The multiple regression analyses and the adaptive fuzzy system are used as a tool to analyze the relations between physical and emotional features. As a result, both of the proposed models show competent performance for the approximation and the similar linguistic interpretation to the Soen's psychological experiments.
콘크리트의 낮은 인장강도 및 균열제어 능력 등의 약한 재료성질을 개선하기 위하여 수년간 하이브리드 섬유보강 콘크리트에 관한 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 그러나 비정질 강섬유와 유기섬유를 이용한 하이브리드 섬유보강 콘크리트에 관한 연구는 이루어지지 않은 실정이다. 따라서, 본 연구의 목적은 비정질 강섬유와 유기섬유로서 폴리아미드 섬유를 이용한 하이브리드 섬유보강 콘크리트의 압축강도, 장기 건조수축 및 내동해성을 평가하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 목표 압축강도 40 및 60 MPa 각각에 대해서 하이브리드 섬유 혼입률을 전체 체적비로 1.0%로 설정하여 비정질 강섬유와 폴리아미드 섬유를 이용한 하이브리드 섬유보강 콘크리트를 제작하였다. 제작된 하이브리드 섬유보강 콘크리트의 장기 건조수축 및 내동해성을 평가한 결과, 재령 365일 및 730일에서의 장기 길이변화율은 플레인 콘크리트보다 각각 30%, 25% 이상 감소된 것으로 나타났으며, 동결융해 300 사이클 후의 내구성 지수는 90% 이상으로, 내동해성이 있는 것으로 나타났다.
선반 스크랩은 금속 가공 공정에서 선반 및 밀링 작업에 의해 발생된 철강제품의 부산물이므로, 섬유보강 시멘트 복합체 제작시 이 를 활용할 경우 경제성뿐만 아니라 환경 친화적인 효과를 가져온다. 따라서 이 연구의 목적은 강섬유 대체재료로서 선반 스크랩의 활용 방안을 제시하기 위하여 선반 스크랩 보강 시멘트 복합체(LSRCCs)의 작업성 및 강도 특성을 평가하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 금속 가공공장에서 3종류 의 선반 스크랩을 채취한 후 폭 2 mm, 길이 40 mm로 가공하여 LSRCCs를 제작하였다. 그 결과, LSRCCs의 작업성은 플레인 모르타르보다 약 간 저하되었고, 휨강도는 크게 개선되었으며, 선반 스크랩의 종류가 LSRCCs의 특성에 다소 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.
One objective of soybean breeders is to develop cultivars with elevated oleic acid content. Testing soybean seeds for oleic acid content is possible using gas chromatography (GC), however it is time-consuming and requires destructing the seeds. Using single seeds, we developed a near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIR) calibration equation relating oleic acid measured with GC to oleic acid predicted by NIR. The slope of the regression line of oleic acid measured with GC on oleic acid predicted by NIR and the intercept was not different from zero. A set of 300 soybean seeds was used to calculate the NIR equation and an independent set of 100 soybean seeds was used for validation. This NIRS equation showed significant correlation between reference values and NIRS estimated values based on the SEP, r2, and the RSP of reference data to SEP. This research shows that NIR prediction of oleic acid using intact soybean seeds is accurate and rapid and should be especially useful for early generation screening.
