Wild grapes have been used as traditional medicinal use and alcoholic beverage production in Korea. The objective of this study is to improve antioxidant properties in Sae-muru by far infrared ray (FIR) treatment, with expecting potential benefits of FIR treatment for wild grape products during manufacturing processes. FIR treatment in berries induced increased content of catechin, epicatechin gallate, epigallocatechin gallate, gallic acid, rutin, ellagic acid, and resveratrol, while content of epicatechin and epigallocatechin was decreased. Although FIR treatment resulted either increased or decreased chemical component groups, presenting in HPLC chromatograms, antioxidant activity in Sae-muru extract was significantly increased by the FIR treatment. Our results suggest that FIR treatment should be an efficient process in the production of high content of bioactive molecules in Sae-muru.

가래나무 잎을 원적외선 30, 40 및 50 v에서 각각 10, 20 및 30분을 처리하였다. 원적외선을 조사한 잎의 총 폴리페놀 함량, 총 플라보노이드 함량, 잎 추출물의 DPPH radical 소거 활성 등을 분석한 결과, 원적외선 30 v에서 20분간 조사한 처리구에서 총 폴리페놀 함량은 25.43 mg/g로 , 총 플라보노이드 함량은 39.38 mg/g으로 가장 높게 나타났다. 그 반면에, 원적외선 50 v에서 30분간 조사한 처리구에서 총폴리페놀 함량은 16.93 mg/g으로, 총플라보노이드 함량은 23.78 mg/g으로 가장 낮게 나타났다. 전체적으로 원적외선 처리에 의해 잎에 함유한 항산화 물질의 함량의 증가는 물론, 그 추출물의 항산화 활성도 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 하지만 원적외선 처리가 가래나무에 함유한 어떠한 특정적인 물질들의 증가에 관하여서는 추후에 더욱 많은 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

최근 파나마 운하 확장이 국민투표로 결정됨에 따라 2014년부터는 12,000TEU급의 선박의 통행이 가능해진다. 파나마운하의 규모적 한계 때문에 포스트 파나막스급이상의 선박들은 파나마 운하대신 아메리칸 랜드브릿지 및 다른 운송루트를 이용해야 했다. 그러나 파나마 운하 확장이 확정됨에 따라 향후 극동-북미 간 운송루트의 변화가 불가피할 것으로 예상된다. 따라서 본 연구는 극동-북미 간을 운행하는 선박의 규모별 루트별 총운송비용을 분석하여 두 구간의 경쟁력을 검토한다.

8-9세기는 무슬림 상인의 주도로 페르시아만에서 남중국까지의 해로가 활성화되는 시기이다. 동서교류에서 해로가 육로를 능가하는 이 시기에는, 이 간선 해로를 따라 그 동단인 동아시아해역과 그 서단인 지중해 해역이 설정되었다. 먼저 간선 해로에 관해, 기존 연구에서 미진하게 검토한 페르시아만에서 인도 동쪽 바다까지의 왕복 항로와 아랍선박을 검토하였으며 심해항행이 진행되었다는 것을 지적하였다. 다음으로 이 시기에 동아시아해역의 해상무역이 장보고의 활약으로 활성화되었던 것과는 달리, 지중해 해역은 로마제국 시대의 활기를 잃고 상대적으로 위축되어 있다는 것을 지적하였다.

주구성 양이온이 Si와 Al인 딕카이트와 엽납석에 대하여 적외선분광분석(FTIR)을 실시하였다. 원적외선(Far-IR)영역과 중간적외선(Mid-IR)영역을 이용하였으며, 특히 200 cm-1 / 이하의 Far-IR영역에서 처음으로 딕카이트의 흡수선들을 제시하였다. 딕카이트의 경우 일부 시료에서 소량의 카올리나이트나 나크라이트 층이 소량으로 협재되어 있다. 카올리나이트의 결정도를 나타내는 Hinckley지수는 딕카이트의 결정도와는 관련성이 적게 나타났다. 엽납석의 경우, 수산기와 관련된 신축진동흡수띠(3673~3676 cm-1 )는 약간 이상적인 구조에서 벗어나 있는데, 아마도 미량의 철에 의한 영향이나, 삼사형과 단사형이 섞여 있기 때문인 것으로 보인다.

DGPS/Radio beacons are currently being planned or installed in many countries. They offer a cost-effective way of distributing differential data to large number of users. These networks are also being deployed in South Korea, Japan, and China. Several DGPS stations among them are operating on the same frequencies. The DGPS signal based on a radio beacon in medium frequency band travels principally as a groundwave over the surface of the earth. The signal may also be received as skywaves at locations beyond about 100 km from the reference station. These skywaves interfere with groundwave signals due to fading. This factor has generally ignored in designing DGPS/Radio beacon systems. A further important factor is to reduce the coverage due to interference from other beacons on the same or adjacent frequencies. The desired signal may fade due to interaction between its skywave and groundwave components. It may degrade the accuracy of the positioning in a complex fashion. This paper estimates the coverage of Far East Asia DGPS stations which are operating on the same frequencies, which is based on the signal protection ratio and interference of the signal strength of the groundwave and skywave.

The characteristics of Far-infrared rays mineral water(FIR water) have been compared to the tap water by means of relationship between FIR water and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy(NMR), FIR water and thermography, FIR water and velocity of blood, FIR-water and pH, FIR water and dissolved oxygen(DO), FIR water and Oxidation-Reduction Potential(ORP), using the development FIR water purification of grand prix system. From the experimental result are quite satisfactory when compared with the tap water. Also, the FIR water were evaluated to see if those are tasty and healthy using the Hashimoto's Mineral Balance Index. As a result, FIR-water was found as tasty and healthy.

Effects of surface conditions (temperature and roughness) of test specimens, when measuring emissive power of far-infrared ray, have been investigated using FT-IR spectrometer. Element metal zinc (Zn) was selected in this study as representative specimen of materials consisting of simple element. The zinc specimens were heated to four temperatures, i.e., 333K, 353K, .373K, and also their surface was finished with SiC abrasive papers of 100, 220, 360, 400, 600, 800, and 1000 mesh in size. The results shows that the emissive power (W/㎡) of the far-infrared ray increases with temperature for a given roughness and its relationship may be expressed by the following equations: Yη=1.0=0.142.T-0.937 for η=1.0, and Yη=10=0.016.T-1.286 for η=10. The emissive power is also known to increase with surface roughness for a given temperature. Their relationship can be represented by the following equations: YT=313K=0.234.ln(η)+3.53, at 313K, YT=353K=0.234.ln(η)+4.02 at 353K and YT=393K=0.243.ln(η)+4.62 at 393K.

The rapid progress of the intermodal freight transportation in recent years has induced fierce competition among the adjacent hub ports for container transport. This brings increased attention to the evaluation of the port competitive ability. But it is not easy to evaluate the port competitive ability because this belongs to ill-defined system which is composed of ambiguous interacting attributes. Paying attention to this point, this paper deals the competitive ability of container port in Far-East Asia by fuzzy integral evaluation which is adequate to interacting ambiguous attribute problem. For this, the proposed fuzzy evaluation algorithm is applied to the real problem, based on the factors such as cargo volumes, costs, services, infrastructure and geographical sites These are extracted from the precedent study of port competitive ability, etc. The results show that the port evaluation factors come in following order ; services, costs, infrastructure, geographical sites and cargo volumes. There are some interactions(interaction coefficient, λ=-0.664 between evaluation attributes. The port competitive ability comes in following order : Singapore, Hongkong, Kobe, Kaoshiung and Busan. According to the sensitivity analysis, the rank between Busan and Kaoshiung changes when λ=0.7. From the analysis of the results, we confirmed that the proposed fuzzy evaluation algorithm is very effective in the complex-fuzzy problem which is composed of hierarchical structure with interacting attributes.
