A redescription of the species and illustrations of diagnostic characteristics including male genitalia are provided.

최근 건강기능성 식용유에 대한 선호도가 높아지면서 저온압착(cold-pressing) 유채유에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있다. 저온압착 유채유는 정제유에 비해 기름 고유의 맛과 향을 느낄 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 산성백토를 이용한 저온압착 유채유의 탈색과정에서 산성백토의 첨가량, 처리시간 및 반응온도에 따른 탈색 후 이화학적 특성과 품질특성을 분석하고자 하였다. 이화학적 특성으로 색차 (명도, 적색도, 황색도)를 조사하였고, 품질특성은 chlorophyll-A 와 carotenoid 함량, 지방산 조성, 토코 페롤(α, β, γ, δ), 및 식물성 스테롤(β-sitosterol, campesterol, stigmasterol)을 분석하였다.먼저 산성백토(DC-SUPER)의 첨가량(1, 2, 3%)에 따른 저온압착 유채유의 색도변화를 관찰한 결과, DC-SUPER 첨가량 2%에서 탈색 1시간 후 유채유의 색도가 갈색에서 연노랑으로 옅어졌다. 본 결과를 바탕으로 총 3종의 산성백토(DC-SUPER, DC-A3, 및 P1)에 대해 첨가량 2%를 기준으로 처리시간(20, 40, 60, 80분) 증가에 따른 색차를 조사한 결과, 처리시간 20분 경과 후부터 대조구 대비 명도(L)는 증 가하였고, 적색도(a)와 황색도(b)는 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 또한 산성백토 DC-SUPER 2% 첨가 후, 반응온도(40, 80, 120°C) 증가에 따른 색차를 조사한 결과, L값과 a값은 큰 변화를 보이지 않았으나, b 값은 급격히 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 특히, 반응온도 40°C에서 처리시간 20분 이내에 클로로필 A와 카 로티노이드는 대부분 제거되었고, 토코페롤 함량도 현저히 감소하였다. 탈색 전 저온압착 유채유의 총 토코페롤 함량은 46.62mg/100g이나, 탈색 후 총 토코페놀은 12.67mg/100g(20분 탈색), 15.31mg/100g(40분 탈색), 13.56mg/100g(60분 탈색)로 나타나, 약 50% 이상 감소하였다. 탈색 후 α-토코페롤 과 δ-토코페롤의 함량 감소가 매우 컸고, γ>β>α>δ-토코페롤의 순으로 포함되어 있었다. 하지만 탈 색 전·후에 저온압착 유채유의 식물성 스테롤 함량은 큰 변화가 없었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 산성백토 이용 저온압착 유채유 탈색시 색도를 향상시킴을 확인하였으며, 영양 학적으로 우수한 총 토코페롤 등이 감소한 바 향후 이를 보완 할 수 있는 연구가 필요하다.

As a replacement for activated carbon, biochar was synthesized and used for the adsorptive removal of formaldehyde and nitrogen oxide. Biochar was produced from the fast pyrolysis of the red marine macro alga, Pyropia tenera. The P. tenera char was then activated with steam, ammonia and KOH to alter its characteristics. The adsorption of formaldehyde, which is one of the main indoor air pollutants, onto the seaweed char was performed using 1-ppm formaldehyde and the char was activated using a range of methods. The char activated with both the KOH and ammonia treatments showed the highest adsorptive removal efficiency, followed by KOH-treated char, ammonia-treated char, steam-treated char, and non-activated char. The removal of 1000-ppm NO over untreated char, KOH-treated char, and activated carbon was also tested. While the untreated char exhibited little activity, the KOH-treated char removed 80% of the NO at 50°C, which was an even higher NO removal efficiency than that achieved by activated carbon.

The purpose of this study is to present theoretical and experimental evidence for a niche strategy for small and medium online shopping malls to run business against large famous shopping malls prevailing the E-commerce market. For this, the present study demonstrates how chronic construal levels of consumers may affect their alternative choice for online shopping via various contexts (Experiment 1-3) and categories (Experiment 3-5). This series of experiments suggests that consumers with high construal level can be defined as a group that is relatively less susceptible to reputation of the shopping malls. Thus, strategically targeting this group of consumers will help small and medium-sized online malls lacking store reputation to mitigate their competitive disadvantage. Based on both existing literature and the experimental results as above, this research discusses possible methods for small and medium-sized online shopping malls to target high-construal segmentation.

Refuse-derived fuel (RDF) produced using municipal solid waste was pyrolyzed to produce RDF char. For the first time, the RDF char was used to remove aqueous copper, a representative heavy metal water pollutant. Activation of the RDF char using steam and KOH treatments was performed to change the specific surface area, pore volume, and the metal cation quantity of the char. N2 sorption, Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometer (ICP-AES), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were used to characterize the char. The optimum pH for copper removal was shown to be 5.5, and the steam-treated char displayed the best copper removal capability. Ion exchange between copper ions and alkali/alkaline metal cations was the most important mechanism of copper removal by RDF char, followed by adsorption on functional groups existing on the char surface. The copper adsorption behavior was represented well by a pseudo-second-order kinetics model and the Langmuir isotherm. The maximum copper removal capacity was determined to be 38.17 mg/g, which is larger than those of other low-cost char adsorbents reported previously.

This study was carried out with the goal of improving accessibility for farmers in record management. The pre-survey for farm records found that the main reasons for lack of records were “no need” and “no time” to keep such records. Based on the results of the pre-survey of smartphone-based farm recordkeeping, the major composition articles were management books, daily work logs, analysis books and additional books compiled by setting log in, notice and suggestions. The number of smartphone- based farm record books was 4,430 nationwide. We also updated farms keeping records on seven occasions for user convenience. Regional differences in the utilization ratio of record books showed that continuous promotion and education aimed at users were key points of success for farm recordkeeping books.

Lacticin NK34 is a small nisin-like bacteriocin present in the supernatants of an isolate of Lactococcus lactis from jeotgal, a salted and fermented Korean food made with seafood such as shrimp, oysters, and fish. Recently, we demonstrated that a partially purified NK34 is highly effective against various Staphylococcus species in a murine infection model. In this study, the two major bacterial pathogens associated with bovine mastitis, Streptococcus aureus and S. agalactiae, were evaluated for their susceptibility to NK34 in vitro using a standard teat-dip assay as well as in vivo using mastitic cows infected with one of these pathogenic strains. The experimental analyses showed a significant decrease (up to 98 times) in the bacterial numbers between the NK34-treated and -untreated teats. Moreover, a dramatic reduction in somatic cell counts was observed at 3 days post-treatment with 10 ml of NK34 administered directly into the mastitic cows. Neither S. aureus nor S. agalactiae were recovered. Taken together, these results imply that lacticin NK34 is an alternative antimicrobial substitute for the treatment of bovine mastitis, caused especially by either S. aureus or S. agalactiae.

Lentinula edodes is known by oak mushroom. It has been favored as delicious and nutritious food and the low-calorie food with a high nutritional value. It is also functional food since it contains a material well-known for its medicinal benefits. Since the growth and quality of oak mushrooms are sensitively affected by environmental conditions, an adequate environmental control is very essential to improve the yield and quality under protected cultivation. The main objectives of the study were to investigate cultural characteristics of mycelial growth and in vitro fruiting of Lentinula edodes. The optimum culture media for mycelial growth of L. edodes were PDA and MYA. Similarly, optimum temperature was 25℃. Malt extract(2%) and yeast extract(0.2%) were optimum carbon and nitrogen sources. Optimal culture period was 110~120 days in sawdust medium. Among different five log types, highest mycelial growth and fruiting productivity were observed in Quercus variabilis sawdust(20.9%).

A surveillance of chigger mites was conducted to clarify the incidence of scrub typhus vectors by new chigger mite collecting traps instead of trapping wild rodents for surveillance from each 4 collection points of 5 regions from September to November 2012 in Korea. During the surveillance period, 2,829 chiggers were collected and 10 species of 4 genera were identified. The first appearance of chigger mite and patients was 39 week (9.19~9.25) and the density of chigger mites had the peak in 43 week (10.17~10.23) and the density of patients had the peak in 44 week (10.24~10.30), respectively. In Goryeong-gun, a total of 1,797 mites representing 4 genera and 6 species were collected and the predominant species were Leptotrombidium scutellare (86.0%), L. pallidum (6.5%) and L. palpale (4.7%) whereas, In Gurye-gun, a total of 89 mites representing 2 genera and 3 species were collected and the predominant species were L. scutellare (46.5%) and L. palpale (36.2%) in similar to the natural environment. The high collecting rates were recorded at rice field (71.8%) and waterway (11.6%). This result shows that the surveillance of scrub typhus vectors by new chigger mite collecting trap is useful as an eco-friendly method.

In this study, the anti-oxidant, anti-tumorigenic, anti-hypertensive, anti-thrombic, anti-diabetic, and anti- inflammatory properties of 18 different species of genus Pleurotus were investigated. In addition, the amino acid, β-glucan, and polyphenol contents were also measured. The β-glucan and polyphenol contents were the highest in Pleurotus cornucopiae var. citrinopileatus (yellow Pleurotus) of all species. The yellow Pleurotus also exhibited the highest physiological activity as assessed by the DPPH IC, Cytotoxic activity, ACE activity and so on. To confirm the mechanism for the physiological activity of the yellow Pleurotus, we performed further examinations within ICR mice. The yellow Pleurotus reduced glucose, triglyceride and total cholesterol levels in the ICR mice blood for 4 weeks after feeding, and also significantly lowered both GOT and GPT levels. Taken together, our data indicates the yellow pleurotus is a promising functional food ingredient.
