Wood pellets are used by Biomass-solid refuse fuel (Bio-SRF) has been imported from many East-Asia countries especially,Vietnam in Korea. Wood pellets are made through grind and high-pressure process shows different physical characterizationlike high methyl bromide (MB) absorption unlike other wood materials. Furthermore, detected pests in wood pellets havesimilarity with detected pests in stored grain. In this study, we analyzed susceptibility on pupa and adult stages of redflour beetle, Tribolium castaneum in wood pellets against mixture of MB and phosphine (PH3). Mixture treatment ofMB and PH3 was more effective than single MB treatment compare with control. Pupal stage showed more tolerant thanadult stage on each fumigant and 100% mortality was determined at 27 mg/L of MB only at 20°C. However, PH3 increasedMB toxicity on pupae that 100% mortality was observed at 100:1 ratio of MB (5 mg/L) and PH3 (0.05 mg/L) at 20°C.Based on this study, mixture treatment of different type of fumigant will be applied to control of quarantine pests.

The attraction of the tomato whiteflies Trialeurodes vaporariorum, to four type of traps combined with a colored stickyboard and an light emitting lamp was investigated in 2016 in an tomato greenhouse. The colors of the sticky boardswere yellow and the peak wavelengths of the light emitting traps were 470nm(blue), 590nm(yellow) and 450~625nm(white).The type of traps was designed to directly illuminate the plants with an light emitting lamp and set along the lowerpart of the crops whose each sticky board was directed to the plants. This experiments showed that T. vaporariorumadults on average preferred (p>0.05) traps in blue lights(110±3.2adults/trap) compared to traps in yellow lights (71±1.4adults/trap)and white light traps(45±1.1adults/trap). The blue light trap(470nm) showed the most attractive to T. vaporariorum adults,followed by a similarly attraction to the yellow light trap(590nm), whereas the control (no light trap) was little attractiveto T. vaporariorum adults.

This study investigated the synergistic effects of a combination of cephalexin and gentamicin (CCG) against Streptococcus spp. isolated from bovine milk. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) index were determined for 12 bacteria isolated from 12 bovine farms in Gyeongnam province. The MIC ranges of cephalexin, gentamicin and CCG were 0.25-0.5, 0.5-2.0 and 0.06-0.125 μg/mL, respectively. In addition, the FIC index range of CCG against the isolates was 0.32-0.34, showing a synergistic effect in the checkboard assay. In conclusion, CCG has a high antibacterial activity against Streptococcus isolates and may be utilized in the treatment of bovine streptococcal mastitis.

Fludarabine, a chain terminating anti-cancer drug, is a purine analogue that causes DNA strand breaks in normal cells. In this study, we determined if A. melanocarpa and Korean red ginseng extract mixture reduce cytotoxicity of fludarabine. Treatment of HaCaT cells with 10 μM of fludarabine for 24 hours decreased cell viability and increased DNA strand breaks. Treatment of A. melanocarpa and Korean red ginseng extract mixture for 24 hours increased cell viability as compared with single extract treatment. The protective effect of these extracts on cell activity increased in a concentration-dependent manner. DNA strand breaks induced by fludarabine decreased as concentration of extract mixture increased. p-H2AX level, a marker of DNA strand breakage, decreased depending on the concentration of extract mixture. The effect of mixed extract of A. melanocarpa and Korean red ginseng on DNA damage is due to the anti-oxidative effect of A. melanocarpa and signal transmission through glucocorticoid receptor upon binding of saponin of Korean red ginseng.

‘후지’ 사과(Malus×domestica Borkh.)에 1.0μL·L-1 1- MCP를 처리하거나 또는 1-MCP 처리 후 10μL·L-1 에틸 렌가스를 살포(1-MCP+에틸렌)하여 180일간 0.5oC 저온에서 과실의 저장성을 조사한 후에, 28일 동안 상온에서 보관하면서 연화정도를 비교하였다. 1-MCP 또는 1- MCP+에틸렌 처리된 과실의 산함량과 경도는 저온저장 120일 이후부터 높은 수준으로 유지되었고, 이후 상온보관 28일 동안에서도 높게 나타났다. 1-MCP처리 과실은 저온저장+상온보관 동안 14N 이상으로 경도가 유지되었다. 과피 적색도는 저온저장 기간 중에는 처리에 따라 일관성 있는 결과가 나타나지 않았지만 상온보관 21일 과 28일째에서는 1-MCP처리에 의하여 4.0 이상 높은 수준이 유지되었다. 대조구와 에틸렌 처리구는 저온저장 90일차에 에틸렌과 호흡량이 크게 상승되었고 클라이매 터릭 맥시멈이 지나면서 노화가 더 빨리 진행된 것으로 판단되었다. 따라서 1-MCP가 처리된 과실은 10μL·L-1정도의 에틸렌에 노출되더라도 장기간 저온저장과 약 한달 간의 상온저장 동안 상품성 유지가 가능한 것으로 평가되었다.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of activation method on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress induction, apoptosis and in vitro development of porcine parthenogenetic embryos. Porcine in vitro matured oocytes were activated by four activation methods; 1) electric stimulus (ES) (E), 2) ES+10 μM Ca-ionophore (A23187) treatment (EC), 3) ES+2 mM 6-dimethylaminopurine (6-DMAP) treatment (ED), or 4) ES+A23187 and 6-DMAP treatments (ECD). Parthenogenetic embryos were sampled to analyze x-box binding protein 1 (Xbp1) mRNA, ER stress-associated genes and apoptosis genes at 3 h after ES and the 1-cell and blastocyst stages. In the EC group, the band intensity of spliced Xbp1 (Xbp1s) mRNA was higher than those of the other groups at the 3 h and 1-cell stage, and higher than that of the E group at the blastocyst stage. Four ER stress-associated genes were expressed at the highest level in the EC group and weakly expressed in the ED group at 3 h after activation. However, most of the genes were highly expressed at the 1-cell and blastocyst stages with some variation in the EC and ECD groups. Expression of Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax) and caspase-3 mRNA was significantly higher in the EC group than in the other groups at all development stages. The developmental rates to the blastocyst stage were higher in the ED and ECD groups than in the E and EC groups. These results suggest that the intracellular ER stress of parthenogenetic porcine embryos is affected by the activation method and subsequently lead to the apoptosis of embryos.

In this study, to estimate the combination of earthquake magnitude (Mw) and distance (R) corresponding to the design spectrum defined in Korean Building Code (KBC) 2016, the response spectra predicted from the attenuation relationships with the variation of Mw (5.0~7.0) and R (10~30km) are compared with the design spectrum in KBC 2016. Four attenuation relationships, which were developed based on local site characteristics and seismological parameters in Southern Korea and Eastern North America (ENA), are used. As a result, the scenario ground motions represented by the combinations of Mw and R corresponding to the design spectrum for Seoul defined in KBC 2016 are estimated as (1) when R =10 km, Mw = 6.2~6.7; (2) when R = 15 km, Mw = 6.5~6.9; and (3) when R = 20 km, Mw = 6.7~7.1.

본 연구의 목적은 트리아세테이트와 흡한속건성 PET 합연사로 구성된 복합직물의 염착량 증진 및 동일색상 염색 (union dyeing)을 위한 최적 혼합염색 조건을 찾는 것이다. 이를 위하여 E-type 분산염료(C.I. Disperse red 50)와 S-type 분산염료(C.I. Disperse red 92)를 혼합하여 1욕 혼합염색으로 염색온도, 염색시간, 염료의 혼합비율에 따른 염색직물의 흡진율, 염착율, 색상 및 색차를 측정하였다. 혼합염색의 염착평형은 100℃에서 일어났으나 염색된 직물의 K/S 값과 겉보기 색상을 비교해보았을 때 트리아세테이트와 흡한속건성 PET의 색이 동일한 색으로 발현되는 온도는 120℃임을 확인하였다. 염색 시간 증가에 따른 혼합염료 흡진율과 염착량의 변화는 크게 나타나지 않았으나 염색시간이 길수록 그리고 혼합염료를 사용할 경우 균일한 색상을 얻을 수 있었다. E-type에 S-type염료의 혼합비율을 적절히 조절하여 혼합염색 하면 단독염색 보다 E-type 염료의 색상과 차이 없이 염착량을 증대시킬 수 있었다.

Background: The functioning of the serratus anterior (SA) muscle is essential to normal scapulohumeral rhythm during forward flexion (FF) of the shoulder. Also, SA weakness and overuse of the upper trapezius (UT) is observed in patients with shoulder dysfunction and trapezius myalgia. We designed a combination exercise involving FF and scapular protraction with resistance (CFFSP) to activate the SA muscle and to deactivate the UT muscle. Objects: The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not CFFSP would be more effective in activating the SA muscle than FF alone and FF with scapular protraction (FFP). Methods: Nineteen subjects (12 men and 7 women) participated in this study and performed FF, FFP, and CFFSP at 120°. Surface electromyography was applied to the SA, UT, and pectoralis major (PM) muscles, as was one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with repeated measures. Statistical significance was set at .05. Bonferroni adjustment was used to counteract the problem of multiple comparisons, with a statistical level of significance of .017 (.05/3). Results: A statistically significant difference was found in relation to the three positions for the SA muscle (p<.001) and the SA/UT ratio (p=.005) using ANOVA. Significantly different results, depending on the position, were also demonstrated using the Bonferroni post-hoc test for the SA muscle (FF=28.27±16.20, FFP=45.66±15.81, and CFFSP=62.4±27.21) and for the SA/UT ratio (FF=3.04±2.14, FFP=3.61±2.38, and CFFSP=5.95±3.01). Significant differences between the three positions was not found regarding the average amplitude of SA/PM muscle ratio (SA/PM: p=.060). Conclusion: We recommend the use of CFFSP to strengthen the SA muscle at 120°.

The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of cervical alignment, pain, and physique to apply proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation( PNF) techniques in patients with forward head posture (FHP). The subjects of this study were 24 patients diagnosed with FHP. They were randomly divided into two groups: a PNF group(n=12) and a control group(n=12). The intervention was performed a total of 24 times, 30 min a day, six times a week for four weeks. Data on cervical alignment(forward head displacement, FHD), pain(visual analog scale, VAS), and physique(height, weight, and body mass index) were obtained pre- and post-intervention. Two-way repeated measures ANOVA was used to compare the groups and time. For FHD, the VAS, and physique(height and BMI), there was an interaction effect for the groups and time(p<.001, BMI: p<.05) and main effects for time(p<.001, BMI: p<.05). For weight, there were main effects of time(p<.01). For FHD(p<.01) and the VAS(p<.05), there were main effects for the groups. In the PNF group, there were significant improvements in FHD, VAS, and physique. In the control group, there was a significant increase in FHD. The results of this study indicated that PNF intervention using scapular and upper extremity patterns effective in FHP positively. The use of a therapeutic intervention on physique changes may also be effective in improving poor posture and help to better patients’ quality of life.

This study addresses the influence of corruption on firm innovation in Chinese market. Using both the logit model and a fuzzy-set analytical approaches based on a new official sample of 2700 privately-owned and 148 state-owned firms over the period of 2011 to 2013, the study add further evidence to growing methodological consideration regarding complexity theory. The results show a significant negative effect of corruption on firm innovation, additional, firm sale and education and market have a positive bearing on innovation activity. However, the government ownership firms have a negative and significant effect on innovation. The findings have important implication for theory, practitioners and policy-making and shed light on a new perspective to focus on the long run effect of corruption.

The paper addresses the phenomenon of the opportunism that arises from a parent (principal) toward an IJV (agent) and its antecedents. This study integrates Agency Theory and Resource Dependence Theory (RDT) to discover its determinants from the perspectives of principal opportunism. Using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) techniques and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) based on a sample of 185 Chinese-foreign IJVs in China, which are useful to reals the overall story of the principal opportunism. This study finds an IJV depends on parents’ support in both knowledge- and property-based resources has more chances to subject to principal opportunism. The result also indicates that psychic distance has a negative impact on principal opportunism. fsQCA, however, provides further solutions that the specific combinations of these predictors or their negation predicts principle opportunism.

The paper suggests a new method of collision avoidance stemming from the concept of the polygonal target ship domain. Since the last century, we have witnessed the current typical ship domains classified and described. In this proposition, firstly, the domain is a geometrical manner which is used in both analytical and statistical method, resulting in the signification of practical application and simulation. Secondly, such domain will be applied to target ship under the combination of two separated parts: “Blocking area” and “Action area” in order to define the area where the ship must keep outside and how the actions to avoid collision can be generated. Thirdly, the concept has suggested the number of mathematical models for different approaching encounters, including head-on, overtaking and crossing situation. Finally, the parameters of turning circle of the ship can be proposed in determining the size of the domain. Statistical evidences indicate that this method reflects a crew’s real habit and psychological in maneuvering. As the result, simple domain is shaped like imagination of sailors, but more accurate in calculating boundary. It promises an effective solution for automatic collision avoidance method. The next researches of this paper have achieved positive results in finding shortest route for avoiding collision. Moreover, while using statistical methods, classical researches face a serious problem in a wide application with different areas, this concept can make up a beneficial solution for the popular application. The numerous ship domains which are in previous researches will be carried out to compare and point out the simplification and effectiveness of the new method in practice.

SNS가 일상적 커뮤니케이션 수단으로 자리 잡으면서 2009년 이후로 SNS 이용에 관한 연구 활동이 국내에서 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 그러나 선행연구에서 연구방 법은 상대적으로 덜 주목받아 왔다. 기존의 실험, 서베이, API 분석과 같은 자동 이용 기록 분석법 등은 여러 문제점과 한계를 지니지만 이에 관한 성찰과 개선 노력이 부족했다는 문 제의식에서 이 연구는 이용일지-서베이를 병행하는 새로운 연구방법을 제안하며 그 가능 성을 SNS 관계망 활용과 이용평가의 관계를 분석하는 데 적용하여 탐색했다. SNS의 관계 망 활용은 타인과의 관계 확대 혹은 유지를 목적으로 자신을 표현하는 행위이고, SNS 이용 평가는 관계망을 통해 유통한 정보 및 관계와 이를 얻기 위해 치러야 했던 비용에 대한 인 식으로 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 대학생을 대상으로 SNS 이용행위에 대한 설문조사를 실시 한 후, 3개월 동안 일주일에 두 번씩 SNS 이용일지를 작성하도록 했다. 그리고 일지작성이 끝난 뒤 동일한 내용의 설문조사를 다시 실시했다. 이용일지 분석을 통해 소규모 집단에 대 한 질적 분석을 실시하고, 서베이 분석을 병행하여 객관성을 확보하고자 하였다. 이 연구방 법이 기존의 연구를 전면적으로 대체하지는 못할지라도 기존의 서베이와 실험 등의 연구방 법의 문제를 일부 보완할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

딸기의 내저온성 품종육성을 위한 우수 교배친 선발을 위해‘다홍’,‘감홍’,‘매향’,‘설향’을 자방친 으로 이용하고‘다홍’,‘감홍’,‘매향’,‘설향’,‘수경’,‘선홍’,‘원교3111호’등을 화분친으로 하여 24 조합을 작성하고 조합능력 검정을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 자방친을‘다홍’으로 하였을 경우에는 전체조 합에서 과중이 작아지는 경향이 있었고,‘감홍’은 생존율이 낮아 두 품종은 자방친으로 적합하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 화분친에 있어서도‘선홍’을 화분친으로 이용한 경우 경도가 낮아지는 경향이 있었 고,‘수경’은 기형과가 다소 발생하는 경향이 있어 화분친으로 적합하지 않았다. 그러나‘매향’과‘설 향’을 자방친으로 이용할 경우 발아율과 생존율이 상대적으로 높았고, 과실품질이 우수하고 수량성도 높은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서‘매향’과‘설향’이 자방친으로 우수하였고, 화분친으로는‘매향’,‘설 향’,‘원교3111호’등이 우수하였다. 특히,‘매향’ב설향’,‘설향’ב매향’,‘설향’ב원교3111호’조합 은 당도, 과실크기, 경도, 수량성 측면에서 우수성이 인정되기 때문에 내저온성 교배조합으로 적합하다 고 판단된다.
