As Korean food service franchise companies sought to advance into around 2,000 new foreign markets, the importance of global management was emphasized. They intensively expanded into Chinese and American markets in 2015 and these two markets account for approximately 40% of total food service franchise companies in foreign countries. Although Japan has huge franchise market, Korean food service franchise companies in Japan only account for 5% of total franchise companies in Asian countries. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between food service franchise selection factors, brand loyalty, and revisit intention of Japanese consumers using Korean food service franchise companies in Japanese food service market, and based on the analysis results, draw the implications for the expansion of Korean food service franchise companies into the Japanese market. Food service franchise selection factors is defined as service and cleanliness, taste, safety and reliability, cost and convenience, and professionalism. The study results can be summarized as follows. First, analysis was performed to identify the effects of food service franchise selection factors on the brand loyalty, it showed that five food service franchise selection factors including professionalism, service and cleanliness, cost and convenience had positive (+) effects on the brand loyalty. One of the most important factors influencing the brand loyalty is professionalism. In order to raise food service franchise’s professionalism, it is necessary for the food service franchise companies to establish stronger strategies containing professional operation systems and services compared to general restaurants. Second, analysis was performed to identify the effects of food service franchise selection factors on revisit intention, five food service franchise selection factors, service and cleanliness, safety and reliability, and cost and convenience had positive (+) effects on revisit intention. One of the most important factors influencing revisit intention is safety and reliability. Thus, in order to raise safety and reliability it is important to form trust with consumers by properly utilizing systems of food hygiene and food safety accreditation.

This research was conducted to evaluate methods of enhancing the waterlogging resistance of soybean plant. Thus, we applied seven types of plant growth regulators (PGRs) to soybean plants and exposed them to waterlogged conditions for a total of 14 days. To evaluate stress resistance, we monitored plant growth characteristics data such as height, chlorophyll content, and chlorophyll fluorescence for 28 days after the initial waterlogging (14 days under waterlogging conditions and 14 days after waterlogging). According to the results, plant height was significantly increased by gibberellin A4 (GA4) treatment compared to the control treatment and waterlogging-only treatment. However, we could not detect plant height owing to plant death when we applied abscisic acid (ABA). Except for GA4 and ABA treatments, plant heights slightly decreased in all treatments compared to the waterlogging-only treatment. The chlorophyll content and chlorophyll fluorescence showed a similar tendency among PGR treatments. The chlorophyll content and chlorophyll fluorescence were significantly increased by ethephon and kinetin treatments 28 days after waterlogging compared to the waterlogging-only treatment. Consequently, kinetin and ethephon treatments induced more resistant phenotypes in soybean plants during or after exposure to waterlogging conditions.

Soybean cultivars with genetically low levels of stachyose enhance the utilization of soybean in food as well as feed uses. The objective of this research is to obtain the information on indirection selection of soybean lines with low stachyose content using DNA marker based on RS2 (rs2) gene. Two genetic populations were developed from the crosses of three parents (116-13 parent : low stachyose content, PI417227 and PI506903 parents: normal stachyose content). Twenty F2 plants of RS2_ genotype and twenty F2 plants of rs2rs2 genotype from each populations were harvested. Content of stachyose was detected by HPLC. Stachyose contents (g/kg) of 116-13, PI417227, PI506903 parents were 3.7, 23.7, and 17.8, respectively. In population 1, stachyose content 20 F2 plants with RS2_ genotype was 14.8 – 24.1 and stachyose content 20 F2 plants with rs2rs2 genotype was 2.1 – 4.7. In population 2, stachyose content 20 F2 plants with RS2_ genotype was 12.4 – 19.7 and stachyose content 20 F2 plants with rs2rs2 genotype was 2.1 – 5.0. Mean difference between RS2_ genotype and rs2rs2 genotype in population 1 and 2 was highly significant. From this results, selection of genetic lines with low stachyose content by DNA marker based on RS2 (rs2) gene will be possible.

누출, 폭발, 취급 및 운송 등의 화학사고가 일어나면 다양한 화학 물질이 방출된다. 방출 된 화학 물질 또는 1차 방제 처리 후 얻게 되는 폐기물에는 유해하거나 독성이 있는 화학물질이 포함될 수 있다. 이러한 폐기물들을 처리 할 수 있는 구체적인 지침이나 기준이 없기 때문에 적절한 처리 방법을 찾기가 어렵다. 따라서 유해화학물질 사고 처리로 얻은 화학물질 또는 폐기물의 대부분은 지정폐기물로 처리하여 많은 비용이 든다. 이 연구는 유해화학물질의 사고 또는 누출이 발생하였을 때 1차 처리를 하면서 발생한 화학 물질 또는 화학 물질에 오염된 폐기물에 대한 지정폐기물, 일반폐기물 판정 기준을 제안하고자 한다. NFPA 등급, pH 등급 및 폐기물 발생량에 따라 점수를 부여하여 화학폐기물을 분류하는 정량화 된 방법을 제시한다. 보다 객관성 있는 판정기준을 마련하기 위해서 미국 국제화재방호협회(National Fire Protection Association : NFPA)에서 발표한 소방관련 국제 규격인 NFPA 704코드를 활용하여 판정기준을 마련한다. NFPA 704코드는 화학물질에 대한 건강위험성(Health Hazard), 화재위험성(Flammability Hazard), 불안정성 위험성(Instability Hazard)에 대한 정도를 0~4등급 까지 세분화 되어 있다. 추가적으로 산성 또는 염기성 화학물질에 대한 판정방법으로, 기존에 지정폐기물분류 기준에 활용되고 있는 오염물질의 pH를 판정기준에 활용한다. 또한 산업안전보건법에 따른 유해･위험물질 규정량, 또는 폐기물의 일일 처리량도 고려한다. 최종적으로 화학 물질 또는 폐기물은 제안된 분류 방법 또는 절차에 따라 얻은 통합 점수에 따라 지정폐기물 또는 일반폐기물로 분류할 수 있다.

2014년부터 기상청에서 현업으로 활용하고 있는 전지구 계절예측시스템 GloSea5의 최대 6개월 예측 강수량을 수자원 및 여러 응용분야에 활 용하기 위해서는 예측모델이 가지는 관측자료와의 정량적인 편의를 보정할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 GloSea5의 예측 강수량에서 나타나는 편 의를 보정하기 위해 확률분포형을 활용한 편의보정기법, 매개변수 및 비매개변수적 편의보정기법 등 총 11개의 기법을 활용하여 계절예측모델의 적용성을 평가하고 최적의 편의보정기법을 선정하고자 하였다. 과거재현기간에 대한 편의보정 결과, 비매개변수적 편의보정기법이 다른 기법에 비해 가장 관측자료와 유사하게 보정하는 것으로 분석되었으나 예측기간에 대해서는 상대적으로 많은 이상치를 발생시켰다. 이와는 대조적으로 매개변수적 편의보정기법은 과거재현기간 및 예측기간 모두 안정된 결과를 보여주고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과는 수자원운영 및 관 리, 수력, 농업 등 계절예측모델을 활용한 여러 응용분야에 적용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

기존 선박매매시장에서 선박가격은 최근 거래되는 비슷한 유형의 선박가격을 기반으로 산정되었다. 하지만 2008년 금융위기 이후 선박가격 변동이 심해지면서 선박 내재적 가치를 산정할 수 있는 선박가격평가기준이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 선박의 내재된 요소를 추정하 기 위해 헤도닉가격모형을 사용하였다. 이에 본 연구는 헤도닉가격모형을 이용하여 선박가격에 미치는 영향을 각 특성별 가치를 분석하고 추 정모형을 도출하였다. 헤도닉가격모형에서 제시된 4가지 모형들 중에 분산확대인자와 단계선택방식으로 최적의 모형을 선정하였다. 이를 위 해 실제 거래된 선박과 특성자료를 활용하여 선박가격에 미치는 결정변수들의 영향력 정도를 분석하였다. 최종 선정된 모형은 Log-Line모형 으로 회귀분석결과 DWT, Age, Market Value, Short-Term Charter, Long-Term Charter, Enbloc, Special Survey Due, Builder 8개의 변수 가 선박가격모형에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 제시한 선박가격모형은 선박가격을 평가할 때 객관적이고 균형있는 의사결정을 하는데 도움이 될 것이다.

Wetlands are damaged or destroyed by natural processes or artificial interferences. In order to restore their function, it is desirable to establish conservation, restoration and management measures on the basis of comprehensively collected and analyzed data of natural ecosystem characteristics and damage conditions. The purpose is to provide an evaluation index that can reflect the biological and physical characteristics such as the inhabited wildlife, degree of terrestrialization, land use change, etc. Due to the evaluation index should be simplicity of measurement, applicability, and cost efficiency as well as useful for improving the new information is obtained, so we consider the physical and biological characteristics. In order to reflect the ecological integrity and qualitative aspects such as disturbance levels, suitability as biological habitats, etc., biodiversity (landscape units, wildlife inhabit), naturalness (biotope, basin ecosystem), rarity (major plant species emergence, major animal species inhabit), and potential for damage (distribution of pollutant by distance, degree of internal damage) was selected as an evaluation index. The conservation value of Hwapo (23 points) and Samrangjin wetland (21 points), which had low number of species and populations, was low due to high potential for damage like green house, bare land etc. On the other hand, Daepyeong (34 points) and Bacsil wetland (32 points), which have worthy biodiversity, showed high conservation value, while their own area was narrow, but the endangered wildlife (Cygnus cygnus, Anser fabalis, and Euryale ferox) was appeared. Habitat disturbances, such as reduced area or internal damage, can drastic changes at population, ecosystem, and community levels. Hwapo and Samrangjin wetland, which have high damaged potential, are included. The recoverability of wetland ecosystem functions depend on the resistance and regenerative power of the system itself, so maintaining integrity of biodiversity-rich wetlands will have priority over restoration.

Background : Currently, obesity and adult diseases as a result of sugar intake have been a consistent problem in Korea. Natural sweeteners as sugar substitutes have many advantages over sugar as a small quantity. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate possibility of industrialization as food additives by using the nature sweetness components of stevia (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni). Method and Results : Stevia was cultivated in a plastic house. The leaves and stems were harvested at October. They were ground into fine powder using a mill, and were extracted by high temperature and pression extraction method. The extracts were evaporated under vacuum and lyophilized. Three strawberry cultivars of ‘Seolhyang’, ‘Maehyang’, and ‘F22-196’ were cultivated in a plastic house and were harvested from March to May. The fruits harvested were stored at 50℃ until processing. In order to test the processing suitability of stevia extract, the characteristics of the three strawberry varieties (line) were investigated. As a result, the ‘F22-196’ line, which was bred as a processing strawberry, generally contained more antioxidant materials and activity than those of ‘Maehyang’ and ‘Seolhyang’ varieties. Comparing the sugar contents which affects the quality of strawberry jam, the average sugar contents of ‘F22-196’ line was higher than 'Maehyang' and 'Seolhyang' varieties. In the preparation of strawberry jam using ‘F22-196’, strawberry jam was prepared by adding only sugar or stevia extract powder, which was 1/100 of the amount of the sugar in only sugar strawberry jam, to the sensory test. As a result, we identified that sugar jam and stevia jam added stevia extract showed 50 : 50 at the sensory test and stevia jam does not make a difference to the marketing jam at the point of view of general consumers. Conclusion : ‘F22-196’ line represented the best quality for strawberry jam in test caltivars. Stevia powder is judged to be used as a sweetener of sugar substitutes in the production of strawberry jam and processing food.

In addition antioxidant activity results were also relatively high in SC-22. The IC50 value was 548 ㎍/㎖ in DPPH radical scavenging and 640 ㎍/㎖. in ABTS+ radical scavenging. Conclusion : As demand for high income crop has increased, new cultivar breeding is required to produce high quality Schisandra chinensis From this study, analyses of antioxidant component and antioxidant activity in collection can be used for new Schisandra chinensis breeding. Especially SC-22 can be superior lines with high antioxidant component and antioxidant activity.

Background : For cultivation of varieties of ginseng, the pure line selection method, which is to select the best among those cultivated in farms for pedigree breeding, replicated yield trials and regional adaptation trials before registering as a new variety, is widely used. Although there are 25 registered varieties of ginseng in Korea, the quality of ginseng is declining together with the amount of harvest being decreased by 15 - 20% due to the heat injuries and diseases from the warming & abnormal climate. Thus, the needs for development of disaster-resistant varieties with better chances of surviving through high temperature, salts and disease are increasing. Therefore, this study is to cultivate disaster-resistant varieties among those selected for their disaster tolerance and salt tolerance through regional adaptation trials. Methods and Results : As a result of examining the growth characteristics of the selected 2 - 5 year old varieties used in the study, among the 5-year old crops, Goryeo 4 and Eumseong 5 showed superior growth in both above and below aerial parts, and among the 4-year old crops, Eumseong 11 and Cheonryang showed superior growth while the growth in the below aerial parts were satisfactory in the order of Cheonryang > Eumseong 10 > Eumseong 11 > Eumseong 9. Among the 3-year old crops, the most superior growth in both above and below aerial parts was observed in Eumseong 14 with the weight of the below aerial part, root diameter and taproot length at 13.8 g, 11.8 ㎝ and 6.2 ㎝ respectively. Among the 2-year old crops, Eumseong 10 showed the most superior growth in both above and below aerial parts. Conclusion : Based on the above results, Goryeo 4 and Eumseong 5 among the 5-year old crops, Eumseong 11 among the 4-year old crops, Eumseong 14 among the 3-year old crops and Eumseon 10 among the 2-year old crops showed the most superior growth among the selected varieties. The growth characteristics of both above and below aerial parts in each year will continuously be monitored.

Background : Sorghum is a major cereal food crop used in many parts of the world. It has been grown on a subsistence level by farmers, under various conditions of environmental stresses in the semi-arid tropics of Africa and Asia. This crop has received significant attention because of its ability to lower cholesterol in the blood, and its anti-dementia, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. It is possible to develop a functional and commercially viable sorghum variety by using superior cultivars of sorghum. The objective of this study was to construct a database of superior sorghum accession. Methods and Results : We used 250 sorghum accessions collected from different geographical bioregion in Korea. We determined various growth characters including germination rate and ear length of these accessions. To determine the antioxidant capacity, we measured the DPPH radical scavenging activity, ABTS scavenging activity, total phenolic contents, and total flavonoid contents. 189 accession showed higher germination (> 80%) than other accessions. Higher DPPH radical scavenging activity was observed in 11-SB-078 (RC50: 1.89 ± 2.88 ㎍/ ㎖), and higher ABTS scavenging activity was recorded in 11-SB-116 (RC50: 35.48 ± 2.42 ㎍/㎖) than other accessions. The ear length ranged from 15 ㎝ to 48 ㎝, the total phenolic contents ranged from 3 ㎎·GAE/g to 77 ㎎·GAE/g, and total flavonoid contents ranged from 0.09 ㎎·QE/g to 1.07 ㎎·QE/g. Conclusion : Among 250 sorghum accessions, we selected 10 with both superior agronomic characters and higher functional food quality.

Background : In recent, a nationwide decrease in ginseng cultivation area and production is observed, and as the sales of ginseng decreases due to the economic downturn, the ginseng industry in Korea is going through more and more difficulties. However, sales of young ginseng, which are ready for the market after a short-term cultivation - 25 to 45 days - of 1 year old ginseng seedlings or 2 - 3 year old young ginseng in greenhouses and plant factories without using any chemical fertilizers, in large grocery chains and online shops is increasing. However, proper studies on cultivation of young ginseng in greenhouses are yet to be conducted, and thus, experiencing several issues including the cost burden of bed soil and disease occurred from reuse of the soil. Therefore, this study is to provide solutions for farmers cultivating young ginseng by determining the optimal type and amount of bed soil for box culture. Methods and Results : To determine the optimal type of bed soil for cultivation of young ginseng, six types of bed soil were produced by blending bed soil specialized for ginseng, granite residual soil and leaf mold in different ratios. To determine the optimal amount of bed soil for box culture of young ginseng, 1 year old ginseng seedlings are planted in three boxes - each in size of 52 ㎝ × 36.5 ㎝ × 9 ㎝ (W × L × H) filled with soils of 6 ℓ, 7 ℓ and 8 ℓ for an experimentation. Growth and development of 45-day old young ginseng showed satisfactory progress in the following order: 100% commercially available bed soil > 80% commercially available bed soil + 20% granite residual soil > 60% commercially available bed soil + 20% granite residual soil + 20% leaf mold, while the gross weight of below-aerial parts showed the same result. Conclusion : The optimum type of bed soil for greenhouse cultivation of young ginseng is the commercially available bed soil specialized for ginseng cultivation. However, the young ginseng showed relatively satisfactory growth and development in mixed bed soil - 60% commercially available bed soil + 20% granite residual soil + 20% leaf mold - and the growth and development of young ginseng were most satisfactory when the box (52 ㎝ × 36.5 ㎝ × 9 ㎝, W × L × H) was filled with 8 ℓ bed soil.

지구온난화와 화석원료 고갈의 문제에 대한 해결책으로 다양한 바이오매스를 이용한 바이오에탄올 생산에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 일반적으로 바이오에탄올 생산에 사용되는 원료들은 크게 당질계, 전분질계, 목질계 기반의 원료로 분류된다. 먼저 당질계와 전분질계 원료는 사탕수수, 옥수수, 고구마와 같은 식량자원 들이 대부분으로서 원료의 재배를 위한 부지확보에 있어 식량 작물과 바이오연료용 작물의 토지 이용 경쟁에 따른 윤리적인 문제가 제기된다. 또한 목질계 원료의 경우 비식용작물로서 비교적 높은 에탄올 생산 효율을 보이지만, 이용 가능한 자원이 한정됨에 따라 최근 바이오에탄올 생산을 위한 열대우림 훼손이 일어나고 있어 화석연료 사용량을 줄이기 위한 대체에너지 생산임에도 불구하고 지구온난화의 원인으로 지목되고 있다. 이러한 기존 바이오에탄올 생산 원료들의 단점을 극복하기 위한 수단으로서 미세조류는 최근 많은 연구자들에 의해 관심을 받고 있다. 생물학적 공정 기반의 미세조류 바이오에탄올 전환은 원료로 사용되는 미세조류에 따른 당 용액의 조성이 다르기 때문에 이를 이용하는 미생물의 종에 따라 전체 공정의 효율이 영향을 받는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 미세조류부터의 당 발효 시 보다 높은 바이오에탄올 생산 효율을 위해서는 적합한 미생물 종의 선정이 반드시 수반되어야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 바이오에탄올 생산에 널리 사용되는 미생물 균주들을 적용하여 미세조류 당 용액으로부터 바이오에탄올 생산에 가장 적합한 균주를 선정하고자 하였다. 바이오에탄올의 원료로 사용될 미세조류는 HR (Hydrodictyon Reticulatum )을 선정하고 한국화학연구원으로부터 분양 받아 실험에 사용하였다. HR은 글루코스를 다량 함유하고 효소 당화율이 매우 높아 바이오에탄올 생산에 적합한 것으로 알려져 있다. 연구결과 본 연구에 사용된 총 3가지 균주 중 Saccharomyces cerevisiae KCTC7017 (SC7017)가 가장 많은 에탄올을 생산하였으며, HR의 바이오에탄올 생산에 적합한 것으로 확인되었다. 하지만 당 용액의 환원당 농도가 높아질수록 발효 효율이 저하되는 현상이 관찰됨에 따라 고농도 당 용액에서 발효가 가능한 정제 농축방안의 개발이 수반되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

This study proposes a selection method of a performance evaluation index of waterproofing and anti corrosion materials used in domestic water treatment facilities for material and construction failures based on different usage and environmental conditions to study the possibility of structural performance maintenance. Different types of waterproofing･anti-corrosion materials have been evaluated based on their respective properties, and have been classified into separate categories based on their case studies of material failures in construction. As a result, 12 different performance evaluation indexes have been produced for the performance evaluation method. Among the 12 performance evaluation index 5 were selected with relatively low importance that produced a low value of 60% importance using AHP analysis method, and conclusively proposed 7 performance evaluation index criteria (wet surface adhesion, fatigue resistance, crack resistance, adhesion performance, joint performance, impact resistance, impermeability)
