최근 ‘새마을운동’이라는 이름으로 동시다발적으로 진행되는 농촌개발사업의 양적인 증가는 사전조사 목적으로 수행되는 수혜국가 지역의 농업환경을 자세히 분석하는 것에 소홀해질 가능성이 있다. 현시점에서 체계적인 지역농업환경 분석이 필요하다. 본 연구는 네팔 극서부지역의 농업담당 공무원 7명을 대상으로 반구조화된 설문을 이용하여 SWOT 요인을 도출하여 분석하였다. SWOT 분석 결과를 토대로 다음과 같이 3가지 농촌개발전략을 제안하였다. 첫째, 효율적 농촌개발을 위해 농민조직의 구성이다. 이를 위해 자본 ·기술· 인적자원의 지원과 농민 스스로 의사결정을 할 수 있는 능력을 키워줄 수 있는 교육이 필요하다. 또한, 지역에서 활동하는 기존의 농업 관련 NGO에 대한 지원도 고려할 수 있다. 둘째, 연구지역은 농산물 뿐만 아니라 농업자재를 인도와 중국으로부터의 수입에 의존하고 있어 농업 생산성 증대를 통한 해외의존도를 낮추는 전략이 필요하다. 전기를 생산할 수 있는 복합관개수리 건설, 고지대 지역의 용수공급을 위해 태양에너지를 이용한 양수시스템 보급, 저수지 건설과 같은 농업 인프라 구축, 현대농업기술 및 우량종자의 보급, 농업연구시설의 지원, 농업용지 확대를 위한 개간 및 농지 비옥화 작업등이 시행 가능할 것이다. 셋째, 지역에 생산되는 허브나 soap-nut과 같은 식물자원을 가공품으로 생산할 수 있는 기술보급과 가공품 판매에 의한 부가가치 창출 및 양봉과 같은 농외소득을 통해 농가소득 증대전략이다. 본 연구는 질적연구방법의 하나인 SWOT 분석하였다. 질적연구방법의 단점으로 지적되는 연구 결과의 일반화는 어렵지만, 양적 자료가 없는 상태에서 연구접근방법은 적절하다고 생각된다. 네팔 극서부지역의 농업담당자로 7명의 연구 참여자는 대표성을 갖기에 충분하지만, 추가로 비정부기구(NGO)와 국제기구 농업담당자로 확대할 필요성이 있다. SWOT 분석이 가지고 있는 우선순위를 결정하기 어려운 단점을 보완하기 위해 계층분석과정 (Analytical Hierarchy Process)와 같은 양적연구 도구를 함께 활용하지 못한 점이 아쉬움으로 남는다. 하지만 해외에서 진행되는 농촌개발분야에 SWOT 분석의 활용과 연구지역의 농업 상황과 농촌개발전략을 제안한 점에서 연구의 의의를 찾는다.

본 연구는 감성의류용 탄화지르코늄 함유 축열 니트의 원적외선 특성을 연구하였다. 탄화지르코늄 함유 축열 PET 원사가 이성분 방사법에 의해 방사되었다. 이 원사의 core부에는 고점도 PET와 탄화지르코늄을 혼합한 용액을, sheath부에는 저점도 PET 용액을 사용하여 콘쥬게이트 방사를 실시하였다. 이들 방사된 원사의 원소분석과 원적외선 특성 분석이 EDS와 FT-IR 계측기기에 의해 분석되었으며 두 가지 조직의 니트 소재를 편직하여 이들의 열적특성을 분석하였다. EDS 분석에서 Zr 피크를 확인하였으며 원사내에 Zr 원소가 19.29% 함유되어 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 원적외선 분석에서 5~20㎛ 파장 영역에서 원적외선 방사에너지가 3.65 x 102 W/m2, 방사율이 0.906 임을 확인하였다. KES-F7 측정기 분석에서 ZrC 함유 편성물의 Qmax 값이 일반 PET 편성물의 값보다 낮은 값을 보였고 보온율 값은 ZrC 함유 편성물이 일반 PET보다 더 높은 값을 보이므로서 ZrC의 축열성을 확인하였다. 열전도도는 Zr의 높은 열전도도 때문에 일반 PET 편물보다 더 높은 값을 보였다. ZrC의 함유가 편물의 촉감에 미치는 영향을 없었으며 편성 조직이 더 큰 영향을 주는 것을 확인하였다.

The early investigations of Russian Far East Trichoptera is connected with A.V. Martynov (1879-1938) who is recognized as a “Father of Russian Trichopterists”. About hundred species described by Martynov were reported from Russian Far East (RFE). Then, I.M. Levanidova (1914-2005) devoted her life to study caddisflies of Pacific Russia and demonstrated the high biodiversity of Trichoptera fauna for the region. If the list of Russian Trichoptera includes 641 species in 148 genera of 28 families of caddisflies (Ivanov, 2010), the Far East of Russia consists of 435 species of caddis belonging to 103 genera of 26 families, it is about 67,8% of Trichoptera fauna of all Russia (Table). Nevertheless, specialists estimate that the real quantity of species should be much more as the majority of the territory still isn't investigated rather well. The core of RFE Trichoptera fauna the is represented by species of Palaearhearctic subregion of Palaearctic Region and species distributed in Eastern Palaearctic. Transpalaearctic and Holartic species are presented in much less number. Connection of North Pacific Russia with North America through the ancient Bering Bridge is traced based on caddisfly fauna. The fauna of Kamchatka is comparatively poor in comparison with continental. The fauna of Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands reflects, on the one hand, communication with eastern Asian continent, with another ? connection with the territory of the Japanese Archipelago and coastal territories of South-East Asia. Taxonomic difficulties of East Russia Trichoptera fauna studying is planning to resolve owing to complex investigation of morphology, distribution, genetic characteristics of caddisflies in cooperation with the international teams of trichopterists of USA and countries of East and North East Asia.

We present new constraints on the cosmic optical background (COB) obtained from an analysis of the Pioneer 10/11 Imaging Photopolarimeter (IPP) data. After careful examination of the data quality, the usable measurements free from the zodiacal light are integrated into sky maps at the blue ( ∼0.44μm) and red (∼0.64μm ) bands. Accurate starlight subtraction was achieved by referring to all-sky star catalogs and a Galactic stellar population synthesis model down to 32.0 mag. We find that the residual light is separated into two components: one component shows a clear correlation with the thermal 100μm brightness, whilst the other shows a constant level in the lowest 100μm brightness region. The presence of the second component is significant after all the uncertainties and possible residual light in the Galaxy are taken into account, thus it most likely has an extragalactic origin (i.e., the COB). The derived COB brightness is ((1.8±0.9)×10−9 and (1.2±0.9)×10−9ergs−1cm−2sr−1 \AA−1 in the blue and red spectral regions, respectively, or 7.9±4.0 and 7.7±5.8nWm−2sr−1 . Based on a comparison with the integrated brightness of galaxies, we conclude that the bulk of the COB is comprised of normal galaxies which have already been resolved by the current deepest observations. There seems to be little room for contributions from other populations including "first stars" at these wavelengths. On the other hand, the first component of the IPP residual light represents the diffuse Galactic light (DGL)-scattered starlight by the interstellar dust. We derive the mean DGL-to- 100μm brightness ratios of 2.1×10−3 and 4.6×10−3 at the two bands, which are roughly consistent with previous observations toward denser dust regions. Extended red emission in the diffuse interstellar medium is also confirmed.

Understanding infrared (IR) luminosity is fundamental to understanding the cosmic star formation history and AGN evolution, since their most intense stages are often obscured by dust. Japanese infrared satellite, AKARI, provided unique data sets to probe this both at low and high redshifts. The AKARI performed an all sky survey in 6 IR bands (9, 18, 65, 90, 140, and 160μm ) with 3-10 times better sensitivity than IRAS, covering the crucial far-IR wavelengths across the peak of the dust emission. Combined with a better spatial resolution, AKARI can measure the total infrared luminosity ( LTIR) of individual galaxies much more precisely, and thus, the total infrared luminosity density of the local Universe. In the AKARI NEP deep field, we construct restframe 8μm, 12μm , and total infrared (TIR) luminosity functions (LFs) at 0.15 < z < 2.2 using 4,128 infrared sources. A continuous filter coverage in the mid-IR wavelength (2.4, 3.2, 4.1, 7, 9, 11, 15, 18, and 24μm ) by the AKARI satellite allows us to estimate restframe 8μm and 12μm luminosities without using a large extrapolation based on a SED fit, which was the largest uncertainty in previous work. By combining these two results, we reveal dust-hidden cosmic star formation history and AGN evolution from z = 0 to z = 2.2, all probed by the AKARI satellite.

We investigate the mid-infrared (MIR) to far-infrared (FIR) properties of a nearly complete sample of local active galactic nuclei (AGNs) detected in the Swift/Burst Alert telescope (BAT) all-sky hard X-ray (14-195 keV) survey, based on the cross correlation with the infrared survey catalogs of AKARI, IRAS and WISE. Out of 135 non-blazar AGNs in the Swift/BAT 9-month catalog, we obtain the MIR photometric data for 128 sources in either the 9, 12, 18, 22, and $25{\mu}m$ band. We find a good correlation between their hard X-ray and MIR luminosities ranging three orders of magnitude (42 < log λLλ(9,18 μm ) < 45), which is tighter than that with the FIR luminosities at 90 μm . Both X-ray unabsorbed and absorbed AGNs follow the same correlation, implying isotropic infrared emission, as expected in clumpy dust tori models rather than homogeneous ones.

We have collected dozens of mid-infrared spectra showing UIR bands from diffuse Galactic emitting regions with the AKARI's Infrared Camera (IRC) onboard AKARI, as part of the ISMGN Mission Program. The datasets cover various directions in the inner Galactic Plane ( |l| < 70 deg), in the outer Galactic Plane ( |l| > 70 deg), and in the off-Plane ( |b| > 2 deg). The variations in the UIR band ratios are examined in terms of the radiation environments judged from the far-infrared ( 50 − 170 μm ) spectral energy distribution (SED) made with AKARI/FIS All Sky Survey data at each slit position where mid-IR spectra were obtained. We have found that the band ratios of 6.2 μm / 11.2 μm and 7.7 μm / 11.2 μm toward the inner Galaxy are systematically higher than those toward the outer Galaxy and off the Galactic plane. Likely causes of the variations in properties of UIR bands in diffuse emission on a Galactic scale are discussed in this paper.

We present the results of Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) fitting of far-infrared galaxies detected in the AKARI Deep Field-South (ADF-S) Survey and discuss their physical properties. Additionally, we perform a comparison between photometric redshifts estimated using only optical and both optical and infrared data. We conclude that our sample consists mostly of nearby galaxies rich in dust and young stars. We observe an improvement in the estimation of photometric redshifts when the IR data are included, comparing to a standard approach based mainly on the optical to UV photometry.

Far-infrared observations provide crucial data for the investigation and characterisation of the properties of dusty material in the Interstellar Medium (ISM), since most of its energy is emitted between ~ 100 and 200 μm . We present the first all-sky image from a sensitive all-sky survey using the Japanese AKARI satellite, in the wavelength range 50 − 180 μm . Covering > 99% of the sky in four photometric bands with four filters centred at 65 μm , 90 μm , 140 μm , and 160 μ m wavelengths, this achieved spatial resolutions from 1 to 2 arcmin and a detection limit of < 10 MJy s r − 1 , with absolute and relative photometric accuracies of < 20%. All-sky images of the Galactic dust continuum emission enable astronomers to map the large-scale distribution of the diffuse ISM cirrus, to study its thermal dust temperature, emissivity and column density, and to measure the interaction of the Galactic radiation field and embedded objects with the surrounding ISM. In addition to the point source population of stars, protostars, star-forming regions, and galaxies, the high Galactic latitude sky is shown to be covered with a diffuse filamentary-web of dusty emission that traces the potential sites of high latitude star formation. We show that the temperature of dust particles in thermal equilibrium with the ambient interstellar radiation field can be estimated by using 90 μm , 140 μm , and 160 μm data. The FIR AKARI full-sky maps provide a rich new data set within which astronomers can investigate the distribution of interstellar matter throughout our Galaxy, and beyond.

The objective of this work was to study the effect of far infrared ray-vacuum drying having reflection and dispersion functions(RD-FRVD) and hot air drying(HAD) on the quality changes of dried vegetable flakes. HAD was regarded as a control. Browning degrees, color value, titratable acidity and pH value were measured as chemical evaluations. Rehydration and electron micrographs were investigated as physical evaluation. Microbial cells were counted. The color value and browning degrees were increased in both RD-FRVE and HAD. In case of degree of those changes, RD-FRVD made less changes than HAD. Especially, green bean sprout had no differences in color value and browning degrees between raw material and dried-rehydrated material. There were no significance differences in titratable acidity and pH value between raw material and dried-rehydrated material. The total microbial counts were gradually reduced in RD-FRVD. The rehydration rates of dried vegetable flakes were typically increased in RD-FRVD. Also, these results were investigated electron micrographs evaluation. Therefore, these results showed that the quality of dried-rehydrated vegetable flakes was typically enhanced by using RD-FRVD.
