The aim of this research was to determine the effect of drying conditions (drying air temperature and drying time) on drying rate, effective diffusivity, and activation energy during hot-air drying of jujube slices. Jujube slices were dried in a laboratory scale convective hot-air dryer at an air temperature in a range of 50-70℃ with an air flow of 0.66 m/s. Sliced jujubes did not exhibit a constant-rate drying period and all the drying operations are seen to occur in the falling rate period. At the beginning of drying process, drying rate was very high, and drying rate continued to decrease as moisture content approached to equilibrium moisture content. It is apparent that drying rate decreases continuously with decreasing moisture content or increasing drying time. It is also noted that the drying rate increased with the increase in drying air temperature. The drying rate was more for jujube slices dried at higher temperature than the ones dried at lower temperature for the same average moisture content of the sample. Consequently, the drying time decreased at a higher drying air temperature condition. Moisture transfer from jujube slices was described by applying the Fick's diffusion model and the effective diffusivity changed between 1.354×10-10 and 2.787×10-10 m2/s within the given temperature range. Effective diffusivity increased linearly with increasing temperature. An Arrhenius relation with activation energy values of 33.22 kJ/mol for jujube slices by hot-air drying expressed the effect of temperature on the diffusivity.

Mass breeding of Protaetia brevitarsis seluensis results in the entomopathogenic fungal infection, usually Metarhizium anisoplaie. A mixture of microorganisms (Bacillus subtilis, Lactobacillus plantarum, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae) delayed fungal infection by M. anisopliae, which infected fewer P. b. seluensis when the microorganism mixture was added to sawdust as feed for P. b. seluensis for 30d, their mortality rate was approximately 35% less than that of the control group, which was fed sawdust without the EM. In addition, the growth of M. anisopliae on agar media spread with each bacterium as inhibited by up to 80%.

Industrial disasters cause lots of damages from individuals to companies and country. Especially, damages caused by constructional disasters take very large portion in the whole industry and are accompanied by huge personal·physical damages. For the prevention of disasters, roles of safety manager are very important and especially, effects of disaster prevention can be changed by occupational ability of construction safety manager. To improve job abilities of safety manager, job education is very important. This research suggested a model for job education management of construction safety manager and proposed improvements as a study on improvement of curriculum for vitalization of job education of construction safety manager so as to improve occupational ability of safety manager. To achieve them, this research examined standard and operation status of current job education of safety manager and the problems and suggested a model materializing job educational contents as a measure to vitalize job education system of safety manager.

An all-silica deca-dodecasil 3R (Si-DDR) zeolite with a pore size of 0.36*0.44 nm2 is highly desirable for membrane-based separation of CO2 from N2, which critical in the post-combustion carbon capture process, via molecular recognition of their slight size difference. For the first time, we acquired h0h-oriented, hydrophobic DDR zeolite films through epitaxial growth of a DDR seed layer with a structure directing agent of methyltropinium iodide. The degree of the out-of-plane orientation and inter-growth was increased with the secondary growth time, while reducing the defects that provide non-selective pathways. The resulting DDR membrane showed a CO2/N2 separation factor (SF) as high as 11.9 at 50°C under dry conditions. More desirably, it could achieve a much enhanced CO2/N2 SF of up to 15.9 at 50°C in the presence of H2O vapor.

Ceramic membranes can be applied under extreme operating conditions such as low pH, high pressure and high temperature. In particular SiC has excellent mechanical properties and also has excellent properties related to membrane performance. However, high processing temperature increases cost of SiC products and thus limit’s its use. In this study oxidation bonding technique was used to fabricate cost-effective SiC microfiltration membrane at low temperature. The oxidation behavior at different thermal treatments was related with pore morphology and ultimately the membrane permeability. We have found that the membrane made by coating of oxidation bonded SiC layer over clay-bonded SiC support, sintered at 1000-1100°C could make a defect-free microfiltration membrane with pure water permeability above 700 LMH per bar. The membrane has narrow pore size distribution with average pore size about 0.1 μm.

A 2-year-old, spayed male Bengal cat was referred to our clinic due to a mass lesion on the upper lip, as well as lower lip swelling and redness. Furthermore, well-circumscribed, raised, pink lesions were found in the oral cavity. Complete blood counts (CBC) and serum biochemistry profiles revealed no remarkable findings. Bacterial and fungal cultures of the lesion in the oral cavity were negative. Fine needle aspiration of the lesions revealed numerous eosinophils. Based on both clinical examination and cytological evaluation, the cat was diagnosed with feline eosinophilic granuloma. As an initial treatment, oral prednisolone (PDS) with cyclosporine was administered. However, the cyclosporine caused the cat to vomit. The lesion was markedly improved after 2 weeks of PDS-only therapy; this was subsequently tapered for 2 months and discontinued. However, one month later, the lesion had relapsed. The cat was then treated for one month using tacrolimus with PDS, and the clinical signs of eosinophilic granuloma gradually improved. The tacrolimus was gradually tapered for 1 month, and the PDS was gradually tapered for 4 months. There is no standard protocol for the investigation and treatment of feline eosinophilic granuloma. The cat in this report was administered immunosuppressive therapies to treat eosinophilic granuloma. This case report provides evidence the combination of PDS and tacrolimus is effective for reducing relapse in feline eosinophilic granuloma.

This study investigated the appropriate ways in offering immediate automated writing feedback within the framework of process-based writing pedagogy by comparing relative effects of two different automated writing evaluation (AWE) system application types on improving writing performance. The experiment took an initiative step in elucidating at what point in the process-based writing stages AWE feedback is best to be served. The research is conducted to confirm whether providing an instant language-related feedback whenever EFL students call for will either interfere the development of content indeed – as it has been expected by process-based writing approach, or bring improvement in students’ writing. Two application types, namely non-continuous feedback (NCF) and continuous feedback (CF) group - are differentiated in terms of in which point of the writing stages students are enabled to get access to the AWE system. With the purpose of the study, a total of 20 students participated. The findings revealed that CF group did not receive language-related AWE feedback to the point of distracting the development of their content. Furthermore, CF group significantly outperformed NCF group in overall writing product, especially on the dimension of grammar and content. Students also expressed a positive attitude toward receiving instant language-related feedback via AWE system.

With the matters of climate change, energy security and resource depletion, a growing pressure exists to search for replacements for fossil fuels. Among various sustainable energy sources, hydrogen is thought of as a clean energy, and thus efficient hydrogen storage is a major issue. In order to realize efficient and safe hydrogen storage, various porous materials are being explored as solid-states materials for hydrogen storage. For those purposes, it is a prerequisite to characterize a material’s textural properties to evaluate its hydrogen storage performance. In general, the textural properties of porous materials are analyzed by the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) measurement using nitrogen gas as a probe molecule. However, nitrogen BET analysis is sometimes not suitable for materials possessing small pores and surfaces with high curvatures like MOFs because the nitrogen molecule may sometimes be too large to reach the entire porous framework, resulting in an erroneous value. Hence, a smaller probe molecule for BET measurements (such as hydrogen) may be required. In this study, we describe a cost-effective novel cryostat for BET measurement that can reach temperatures below the liquefaction of hydrogen gas. Temperature and cold volume of the cryostat are corrected, and all measurements are validated using a commercial device. In this way, direct observation of the hydrogen adsorption properties is possible, which can translate directly into the determination of textural properties.

The white button mushroom, Agaricus bisporus, is commercially the fifth most important edible mushroom, accounting for the production of 9,732 tons of mushrooms in Korea in 2015. The genus Agaricus has been known for its potential to degrade lignocellulosic materials. Chemical analyses carried out during the cultivation of A. bisporus indicated that the cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin fractions were changed preferentially for both vegetative growth and sexual reproduction. We screened A. bisporus strains for effective biodegradation through extracellular enzyme activity using cellulase, xylanase, and ligninolytic enzymes. The enzyme biodegradations were conducted as follows: mycelia of collected strains were incubated in 0.5% CMC-MMP (malt-mops-peptone), 0.5 Xylan-MMP, and 0.5% lignin-MMP media for 14 days. Incubated mycelia were stained with 0.2% trypan blue. Eighteen strains were divided into 8 groups based on different extracellular enzyme activity in MMP media. These strains were then incubated in sterilized compost and compost media for 20 days to identify correlations between mycelial growth in compost media and extracellular enzyme activity. In this study, the coefficient of determination was the highest between mycelial growth in compost media and ligninolytic enzyme activity. It is suggested that comparison with ligninolytic enzyme activity of the tested strains is a simple method of screening for rapid mycelial growth in compost to select good mother strains for the breeding of A. bisporus.

This study introduces coding education using functional computer game and board game. We direct compare two different types of the educational game for coding education and their learning achievements. The purpose of this study is mainly to compare the effect of the difference of game type on the learner's attitude, learning immersion, education satisfaction and preference for elementary school and junior high school students. In this study, we considered the effect of game platform type on learning and we suggested that when designing an educational game for coding, the proper combination of these platforms are important.

There has been an emerging interest in the effective luxury advertising, which has been conducted within and across national borders. Unlike earlier studies on luxury brands that focused on the behavior and opinions of luxury consumers (e.g., luxury motivations, value perceptions, etc.), this nascent stream of research queries an important role that advertising exerts on luxury consumers (Freire, 2014). Informed by these developments, our study examines how luxury brand marketers can design effective social media messages for their consumers. In particular, we draw on recent research in consumer psychology to shed new light on (1) how consumer feelings about the psychological distance of luxury consumption may influence their evaluation of different types of message appeals on social media and their intention to share these messages with others; and (2) we address how this process varies depending on (a) the perceived tie strength between consumers on social media, the functional attitudes of luxury brands, and across different cultural milieus.

The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of ozone in sanitizing water experimentally inoculated with the gram-positive food-poisoning bacterium Staphylococcus aureus. The bactericidal effect was measured after experimentally inoculated solutions were exposed to 0, 0.5, and 1.0 ppm ozone at several time points and different temperatures, in the presence of varying concentrations of different organic matter, namely, fetal bovine serum (FBS) or cattle liver. Results revealed inhibition of the bactericidal effect in the presence of the lowest percentage of FBS, but a lower extent of the inhibition occurred when liver was used as the organic matter. It was also apparent that a higher temperature and shorter ozone exposure time had led to a more reduced bactericidal efficacy than that under a lower temperature and longer ozone exposure. This study provides insight into the potential use of ozonated water as an effective and safe disinfectant in an abattoir setting.

The diffuser is effective in closed systems, however, its effect is weaken in open or free flow situations. This can be solved by modifying the rear-end of the diffuser in a manner that enables the formation of strong vortex. By doing that, a large portion of fluid's energy is converted to vortex's dynamic energy, which results in the deduction of static component, or in other words, the decrease of pressure. This study involved the design of rear-end part for efficient hydrodynamic performance of shroud diffusers, and demonstrated with numerical simulation by computational fluid dynamics (CFD). This study focuses on the use of brim end for the shroud where the effect of brim's length and attaching angle are analyzed.

Dans cette étude, les commentaires des professeurs sur la capacité de communication et la capacité de traduction ont été conçus et formulés en utilisant une activité paraphrasante basée sur la théorie interprétative de la traduction dans une classe de traduction au niveau universitaire. La réaction des élèves lors du cours de traduction a ensuite été analysée . Le but de cette étude était d'étudier la valeur éducative de ce type de commentaires des professeurs et de trouver la méthode la plus efficace de rétroaction des professeurs appropriée pour les étudiants qui apprennent la traduction du français vers le coréen. Les principaux résultats des analyses de commentaires des professeurs sont résumés comme suit: (1) Certaines des tâches qui semblaient difficiles pour les élèves ont été classées en éléments de capacité de traduction et de capacité de communication. Les commentaires du professeur, organisés en capacité de traduction et de communication par la méthode d'enseignement par la paraphrase en fonction des difficultés rencontrées par les élèves dans leurs tâches, ont généralement une influence positive sur la capacité de traduction des étudiants, et en particulier la capacité linguistique des élèves. (2) Comme une méthode répétitive d'apprentissage des synonymes, les commentaires répétés des professeurs par la paraphrase ont été trouvés pour aider à améliorer la capacité linguistique des élèves. (3) Il était également possible de voir le potentiel de la compréhension par les élèves des stratégies d'apprentissage autonomes basées sur la méta-cognition en termes de lecture, de traduction et d’écriture.

가석방이란 자유형의 집행중에 있는 수형자가 행장이 양호하고 개전의 정이 현저한 경우에는 형벌의 목적이 달성되었다고 판단하여, 수형자의 사회복귀와 갱생의욕을 고취하고자 시설내 중심처우에서 사회중심 처우로 전환하는 것을 뜻한다. 이 제도는 형사정책상의 특별예방사상의 실현과 교정이념의 하나인 수형자 조기사회 복귀를 도모하고, 교정비용도 절감할 수 있는 필수불가결한 제도의 하나이다. 현재 우리나라의 가석방제도의 운영은 형법 등에 규정된 조건보다 엄격하게 운영되어 왔다고 볼 수 있다. 이에 따라 교정시설의 과밀수용 등 여러 가지 어려운 문제들을 야기하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라 가석방운영의 현황, 문제점 등을 살펴보고 그 효율적 운영방안에 관하여 다각도로 고찰하여 보았다. 현행 가석방 제도의 개선방안으로는 다음과 같은 사항을 검토해 볼 수 있을 것이다. ① 가석방 심사기관의 일원화･전문화, ② 가석방의 점진적 확대, 활성화, ➂ 가석방전 사회내 적응훈련 등의 효율화 ➃ 시설내 처우와 사회내 처우의 긴밀한 관계유지, ⑤ 가석방자에 대한 사회봉사명령제 등 도입, ⑥ 선시제도와 그 도입여부 검토, ⑦ 가석방의 효율적 운영을 위한 심사기준 확립 등이다. 현행의 가석방제도를 합리적으로 개선해 나가며 이 제도를 적극적으로 활용하여, 당면과제의 하나인 수용자 과밀수용해소와 함께 교정관계 국제규칙 등의 규정에 부합하는 교정행정이 될 수 있도록 다각적인 조치가 필요하다고 본다. 나아가 교정시설 운영에 대한 전문화, 시설의 확충, 예산의 확대도 요구된다 하겠다.

국가연구개발사업 규모가 매년 증가함에 따라 이에 대한 간접비 금액도 증가하 고 있다. 간접비는 연구개발사업의 효율적인 추진에 필요하기 때문에 이에 대한 관심도 높아 지고 있다. 현재 국가 연구개발과제의 실제 간접비율이 고시비율보다 현저하게 낮다는 주장 들이 있다. 하지만 이러한 실제 간접비율의 계산에 고시된 간접비율을 적용하지 않는 간접비 예외사업이 포함되어 낮게 나타난 것으로 파악되고 있다. 그런데 간접비 예외사업은 고시간 접비율의 적용이 곤란한 사업적 특성을 가지고 있는 사업에 한정하여야 하는데, 이에 대한 검토가 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 간접비 고시비율 예외 적용사업의 타당성을 검토하고, 당해 사업에서 간접비 발생 원인을 탐색하여 적정한 간접비 지급기준을 설정할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 현행 국가연구개발사업의 간접비 고시비율 예외사업을 조사하고, 정률 예외사업의 원가동인을 탐색하여 적정한 간접비 지급기준을 설정함으로써 합리적인 사업관리 방안을 모색하고자 하였다. 원가동인을 탐색하기 위하여 우선 정률예외사업에 대한 특성과 비목구조를 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 4개의 정률예외사업별로 각각 비목 구성의 고유한 특성이 도출되었다. 기반구축사업에서는 연구장비재료비의 비중이 50%로서 가장 높게 나타났으 며, 인력양성사업에서는 학생인건비의 비중이 43%로 가장 높게 나타났다. 국제공동예산사업 에서는 국제활동비를 식별할 수 없었으나, 연구장비재료비의 비중이 50%로 가장 높으며, 연구활동비가 31%의 비중을 차지하고 있었다. 하지만 평가조정사업은 내부인건비(37%), 연구 과제추진비(21%), 연구활동비(19%) 순으로 나타나고 있으며, 기관별로 큰 차이가 없어서 예 외적용사업이 아닌 일반사업으로 분류하는 것이 타당한 것으로 판단되었다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 각 사업별로 비목 구성비율의 특성에 따른 원가동인을 고려하여 조 정간접비율을 산정하는 식을 마련하였다. 이를 통해 다음과 같이 우리나라 정률예외사업에 적용될 고시 간접비율 설정방안 세 가지를 제시하였다. 1) 사업 특성별로 거액 비목은 간접 비율 계산에서 제외하고 고시비율 적용한다. 2) 정률예외사업을 분리하여 별도의 고정간접비율 적용한다. 3) 고시사업과 통합하되 특정 거액 비목은 제한을 설정하여 고시비율 적용한다. 본 연구는 국가연구개발 정률예외사업에 대하여 처음으로 원가구조를 분석하고, 합리적인 간접비 설정방안을 제시하였다는 데에 그 의의가 있다. 간접비는 직접비와 함께 국가연구개 발사업을 효과적으로 수행하는 데에 기여한다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제시된 간접비 고시비율 예외적용 기준안을 통해 국가연구개발사업을 수행하는 연구기관에 실소요 간접비를 지원함으로써 연구개발사업의 효율적 추진을 도모할 것으로 기대된다.
