A few importers of marine products has practiced ice glazing of frozen fish and forced water injection into small octopus to increase their weight. These rampant practices have recently become a serious social issue. Therefore, this study was conducted to develop non-destructive detection methods for verifying forced water injected frozen small octopus using dielectric properties. The weight and dielectric properties of live small octopuses imported from China were measured using an electronic scale and dielectric probe connected with vector network analyzer, respectively. The frequency range from 0.5 to 4 GHz was used for measurement of dielectric properties of small octopus samples. The moisture contents of live small octopuses were determined by convection drying at 105°C for 24 h. To increase weight of small octopus samples, each sample was placed in a container including 2% polyphosphate solution of 800 mL and was kept for 24 h in a refrigerator. Then, the sample was removed from the solution and was frozen at -35°C for 24 h. The moisture contents of live small octopuses were 81.6 ± 1.9% (wb). Regardless of weight of live small octopuses, dielectric constant (ε′) and dielectric loss factor (ε′′) were from 76.09 to 58.62 and from 101.95 to 28.72, respectively. The average weight gain of small octopuses immersed in the solution was approximately 40.6%. Dielectric constant (ε′) and dielectric loss factor (ε′′) of forced water injected small were from 78.18 to 66.71 and from 51.96 to 25.05, respectively. In addition, there was a significant difference between dielectric properties and penetration depth of fresh frozen and forced water injected frozen small octopuses. The results clearly showed that dielectric properties of small octopuses affected by moisture contents could be an important factor to detect forced water injected frozen small octopuses.

In this study, we suggested the jacking method of small diameter sewer pipe for improving workability of the pipe at the weak ground. The jacking method minimizes the space and time in constructing small diameter sewer pipe. In addition, to use this method do not cause road restrictions during the construction period. In this study, the construction process of the small diameter sewer pipe is explained. In addition, to ensure the safety during construction, the design consideration such as earth pressure and the jacking force of the steel pipe, and safety against boiling of the ground were examined. For verify the safety of this jacking method, it is necessary to carry out an experiment to estimate the safety of main pipe under construction.

Ablative material in a rocket nozzle is exposed to high temperature combustion gas, thus undergoes complicated thermal/chemical change in terms of chemical destruction of surface and thermal decomposition of inner material. Therefore, method for conjugate analysis of thermal response inside carbon/phenolic material including rocket nozzle flow, surface chemical reaction and thermal decomposition is developed in this research. CFD is used to simulate flow field inside nozzle and conduction in the ablative material. A change in material density and a heat absorption caused by the thermal decomposition is considered in solid energy equation. And algebraic equation under boundary layer assumption is used to deduce reaction rate on the surface and resulting destruction of the surface. In order to test the developed method, small rocket nozzle is solved numerically. Although the ablation of nozzle throat is deduced to be higher than the experiment, shape change and temperature distribution inside material is well predicted. Error in temperature with experimental results in rapid heating region is found to be within 100 K.

This study was carried out to investigate the antioxidant activities and the contents of antioxidant compounds in extracts derived from 23 medicinal crops. Dried plant materials were extracted by 80% methanol and the extracts were used to experiment. The levels of total phenolic compounds were much higher in Oenothera biennis, Houttuynia cordata, Cedrela sinensis, Rhus javanica, Artemisia annua, Reynoutria sachalinensis, and Dendropanax morbifera compared with other crops. On the other hand, the total phenolic compound levels in Carthamus tinctorius, Polygonum multiflorus, Ginko biloba, Solanum nigrum, and Saposhnikovia divaricata were relatively low. The total flavonoid contents were highest in H. cordata, followed by D. morbifera, A. annua, A. continentalis and O. biennis. DPPH activity was significantly higher in A. annua, R. javanica, C. sinensis, D. morbifera and O. biennis, and ABTS activity was significantly higher in R. javanica, C. sinensis, O. biennis, R. sachalinensis, A. annua, and D. morbifera than other plants. These results suggest that O. biennis, A. annua, R. javanica, D. morbifera, and R. sachalinensis can be utilized as food additives and natural antioxidants due to their strong antioxidant activity.

The Small hive beetle, Aethina tumida (Murray, A. 1867) (commonly abbreviated to SHB), is one of notifiable pest in the world. SHB were confirmed in the southeastern United States in 1998 in a apiary in Florida. The SHB also was found in Korea in 2016. The SHB larvae have relatively large heads and numerous protuberances covering their bodies. Upon full maturation, larvae have reached a length of 10 mm. Adult females are length and width of ± 5.5 mm and ± 3.4 mm. Naturally occurring small hive beetles can vary greatly in size, possibly depending on diet, climate, and other environmental factors. Additionally, we were analyzed the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene of the SHBs. The sequence of the COI gene of SHB was identical to that of SHBs in Korea, but different by fourteen positions from Italy.

The zodiacal light emission is the thermal emission from the interplanetary dust and the dominant diuse radiation in the mid- to far-infrared wavelength region. Even in the far-infrared, the contribution of the zodiacal emission is not negligible at the region near the ecliptic plane. The AKARI far-infrared all-sky survey covered 97% of the whole sky in four photometric bands with band central wavelengths of 65, 90, 140, and 160 m. AKARI detected the small-scale structure of the zodiacal dust cloud, such as the asteroidal dust bands and the circumsolar ring, in far-infrared wavelength region. Although the most part of the zodiacal light structure in the AKARI far-infrared all-sky image can be well reproduced with the DIRBE zodiacal light model, there are discrepancies in the small-scale structures. In particular, the intensity and the ecliptic latitude of the peak position of the asteroidal dust bands cannot be repro- duced precisely with the DIRBE models. The AKARI observational data during more than one year has advantages over the 10-month DIRBE data in modeling the full-sky zodiacal dust cloud. The resulting small-scale zodiacal light structure template has been used to subtract the zodiacal light from the AKARI all-sky maps.

A new Hibiscus syriacus ‘Danna’ was developed at the National Institute of Forest Science in 2013. It was initially derived from an artificial cross in 2004, between H. syriacus ‘Hanŏl’, a seed parent, a Korean local cultivar with vigorous growth and H. syriacus ‘Hanŏl-tanshim’, as a pollen parent, with long bloom period. ‘Danna’ was preliminarily selected as ‘KFRI-HH03’ for the aesthetic and stable quality of its unique color of its flower and rapid growth in elongation in 2008. Trial evaluation was conducted for 6 years (2008 - 2013), meanwhile, all investigated traits were retained in rooted cuttings originated from it. ‘Danna’ had a bright pink flower with very small red eye zone. Its flower diameter is 111.3 mm; length of red eye spot on petals is 13.8 mm. Leaves were 71.3 mm long and 43.1 mm wide, and petiole length was 14.2 mm. Flowering period of the cultivar investigated in 2013 was 81 days. It was registered as a new cultivar at the Korea Seed & Variety Service in 2015 (Grant Number 5756). Its tree habit shows vigorous and fast growth and is upright, so it can be used as an ornamental tree or a street tree.

Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is a major pathogen that may be one of the main reasons for economic losses in the livestock industry. BVDV is a well-characterized member of Flaviviridae family with plus-stranded RNA viruses. Non-structural NS5B protein is RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, which is responsible for viral RNA synthesis and genome replication of BVDV. Therefore, the NS5B polymerase is a key target for the discovery of anti-BVDV drugs. A number of small-molecule inhibitors against the NS5B polymerase have been reported in literature of which we collected series molecules having various scaffold with their biological data determined by evident experimental conditions, methods and procedures. Then, we constructed database of 655 small-molecule NS5B inhibitors having definitive activity values, structural parameters, and physicochemical properties (such as molecular hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity, polarity, Hbond donors and H-bond acceptors) associated with their absorption and permeability through a cheminformatics approach. The database was opened to provide insight for allosteric NS5B inhibitors of BVDV with an accessible platform on the web (http://nabic.rda.go.kr/chemical genomic database/BVDV RNA dependent RNA polymerase inhibitors). This molecular information in the database would be useful in attempting to identify features and decision factors that enhance anti-BVDV activity or increase selectivity of the allosteric inhibitor. These anti-BVDV molecules could also be screening for the purpose of exploiting potent NS5B inhibitors in the same family (e.g., HCV, CSFV, YFV, WNV, and DENV).

Understanding effects of thermal pollution and acidification has long been a concern of aquatic ecologists, but it remains largely unknown in Korea. This study was performed to elucidate the effects of thermal wastewater effluent (TWE) and acid rain on water quality and attached algae in a small mountain stream, the Buso Stream, a tributary located in the Hantan River basin. A total of five study sites were selected in the upstream area including the inflowing point of hot-spring wastewater (HSW), one upstream site (BSU), and three sites below thermal effluent merged into the stream (1 m, 10 m and 300 m for BSD1, BSD2, and BSD3, respectively). Field surveys and laboratory analyses were carried out every month from December 2015 to September 2016. Water temperature ranged 1.7~28.8°C with a mean of 15.0°C among all sites. Due to the effect of thermal effluent, water temperature at HSW site was sustained at high level during the study period from 17.5°C (January) to 28.8°C (September) with a mean of 24.2±3.7°C, which was significantly higher than other sites. Thermal wastewater effluent also brought in high concentration of nutrients (N, P). The effect of TWE was particularly apparent during dry season and low temperature period (December~March). Temperature effect of TWE did not last toward downstream, while nutrient effect seemed to maintain in longer distance. pH ranged 5.1~8.4 with a mean of 6.9 among all sites during the study period. The pH decrease was attributed to seasonal acid rain and snow fall, and their effects was identified by acidophilic diatoms dominated mainly by Eunotia pectinalis and Tabellaria flocculosa during March and August. These findings indicated that water quality and periphyton assemblages in the upstream region of Buso Stream were affected by thermal pollution, eutrophication, and acidification, and their confounding effects were seasonally variable.

최근 특허권 행사에 있어 특허침해소송 남용 등 법제도의 미비점을 악 용하는 지식재산권의 부당한 행사에 관한 규제를 통하여 건전한 기업활 동에 장애가 초래되지 않도록 제도적인 방안을 마련하는 연구가 활발하 다. 특히 NPE가 행사하는 특허침해소송의 새로운 유형으로 등장한 특허 사나포선 이 문제로 부각되고 있다. 이러한 경쟁법 연구의 일환으로, 본 연구자는 구체적으로 대기업에 비해 특허침해소송 관련 대응력이 부족한 중소기업을 대상으로 한 특허관리전문회사(NPE)의 특허 사나포선 행 위를 규제할 수 있는 방안을 검토해 보고자 한다. 특허 사나포선(Patent Privateering) 이란 제조기업이 스스로 제조나 서비스 활동을 하지 않는 NPE에게 경쟁 제조기업을 상대로 기만적인 특 허주장이나 기회주의적 특허주장을 하도록 하여 금전적 이익을 추구하거 나, 제조기업이 NPE에게 자신의 특허를 매각하고 제조기업의 경쟁기업 을 상대로 당해 특허권을 주장하여 금전적 이익을 얻을 수 있도록 하는 전략적 특허거래를 의미한다. 즉, 특허 사나포선 은 NPE의 다양한 형태 중, 공격적 NPE의 비즈니스 모델로서, 본고에서는 이런 행위를 경쟁법 차원에서 규율할 수 있는지, 있다면 어떤 기준으로 제한할 것인지를 연 구하였다. 이를 위한 해결 논리로 eBay판결에서 등장한 반박 가능한 추정 (rebuttable presumption) 개념을 확장 적용하여 경쟁법 및 특허법 등 과의 관련성을 검토하고, NPE의 특허권 남용행위로부터 소송능력이 미 약한 중소기업을 보호하는 제도적 장치를 대안으로 제시하여 국내 유망 기술을 보유한 중소기업들의 시장 경쟁력 확보와 해외 진출을 위한 법적 보호 및 대응책 마련에 일조하려 한다.
