The purpose of this study was to derive the conditions for manufacturing rice porridge with optimum properties after reheating. The characteristics of rice porridge according to the soaking time, water addition rate, heating temperature, heating time, and cooling conditions were compared using the ‘Samkwang’ cultivar. In Step Ⅰ, as the heating temperature increased, the weight change decreased and the viscosity increased, and the temperature known as the main factor of the gelatinization also appeared to affect the viscosity increase. In Step Ⅱ, the viscosity and the texture properties was not significantly different as the soaking time was reduced, and 10 minutes was suitable because of due to the shortening effect of the total process time. In Step Ⅲ, the residual heat was lowered by cooling after the rice porridge production, so the viscosity could be greatly reduced. Also, it was confirmed that the water addition rate of 900% and the heating temperature of 15 minutes were optimal manufacturing conditions. The next study will investigate the porridge processability of rice cultivars using these results.

With emphasis on native genetic resource, Korean native chicken is one of the major native breeds in poultry in Korea. The weight-age data from 216 pullets of Korean native chicken were used to fit the growth curve using Gompertz model. Live weights have been recorded every three weeks for 36 weeks for 5 strains. All available weight data from birth to the 6 specific ages of week were used for the estimation of parameters. The variation in estimates of mature weight (A) decreased with the increase of age 21 through 36 weeks for all 5 strains studied. However, the variation of rate of maturing (k) showed a tendancy increase with the increase of age. These results indicate that the fitting of growth curve is getting more stable for asymptotic value (A) and more flexible for curve shape (k) with the increase of weight-age data range. Correlations among estimates of A and among estimates of k at various ages showed the highest range of 0.93 ~ 0.99 between 30 and 36 weeks except for the maturing rate (k) of red brown strains. The correlations between A and k tended to fluctuate and were not significant statistically at various ages. Thus, the estimates of growth curve parameters, A and k suitable for genetic studies in Korean native chicken can be derived from accumulated weight-age data after 30 weeks of age.

This study concerned the analysis on the efficiency of the conversion of water tank type supply system to direct water supply system to examine the feasibility of the conversion, as well as the calculation of optimal conversion range that enables the supply of safe, high-quality water at stable pressure in accordance with the standards of water supply facility. The results of this research showed that when converting water supply system from water tank type supply system to direct water supply system, more nodal points could be properly converted and more reduction of electricity usage was expected in case water pressure rather than residence time was fixed. This means that higher efficacy can be obtained by fixing water pressure when converting water supply system. However, since the number of the locations that received on-spot inspection was small and the electricity usage measured was not exclusively by water supply facility, it is difficult to judge that such reduction of electricity usage accurately represents reduced electricity usage by water supply facility alone. therefore, after having secured on-spot information about a larger number of locations in apartment complexes that have converted water supply system, and utilizing information about electricity usage exclusively by water supply facility, the proposed method of this research could be applied to accurately deducing expected reduction of electricity usage by water supply facilities of various other apartment complexes. It is also considered possible to deduce an effective operation method of water supply system by finding out an area that shows low pressure or low residual chlorine concentration in the optimal conversion range of water supply, followed by estimating the proper location of pumping station or the proper chlorine dosage at the power purification plant that supply water to the target area.

본 연구는 각 호흡 위상에 따른 계획용표적체적(planning target volume. PTV)의 움직임 및 체적(PTV volume)의 변화를 횡격막(diaphragm)의 움직임을 이용하여 정량적으로 분석함으로써 폐암의 호흡 동기 방사선치료를 위한 최적화된 호흡 위상을 알아보고자 하였다. 비특이적 호흡이나 불규칙적인 호흡에 의한 체계적 오류(system error)를 최소화하기 위하여 모의 호흡 훈련을 시행하였다. 정규화된 호흡 동기 방사선치료 절차에 따라 각 호흡 위상 i에 따른 4차원 전산화치료계획(4-dimensional computed tomography. 4DCTi)을 시행하였으며 0~90%, 30~70%, 40~60% 호흡위상으로 재구성된 4DCTi 영상에서 PTV를 정의하고 PTVi의 움직임 및 체적의 변화를 정략적으로 분석하였다. 모의호흡 훈련에 의한 평균 호흡 주기는 3.4±0.5초로 나타났으며 임상적으로 유도되는 예상 값과 실제 측정값의 일치 정도를 나타내는 R-제곱 값은 1에 근접하여 유의하였다. 또한 각 호흡 위상 i에 따른 PTVi의 움직임은 0~90% 호흡 위상의 경우 13.4±6.4mm, 30~70% 호흡 위상의 경우 6.1±2.9mm, 40~60% 호흡 위상의 경우 4.0±2.1mm 이었으며 PTVi의 체적 변화는 30~70% 호흡 위상의 경우 32.6±8.7%, 40~60% 호흡 위상의 경우 41.6±6.2% 감소되었다. 결론적으로 짧은 호흡 위상(40~60%: 30% duty cycle) 폭을 적용하였을 때 PTV의 움직임 및 체적의 변화가 감소되어호흡을 고려한 PTV 마진이 4mm 이내이면서 PTV 내 선량의 균일성을 얻을 수 있었다.
