Locally resonant metamaterials (LRMs) are artificial periodic structures that effectively suppress elastic wave propagation within specific frequency bands, known as bandgaps, by utilizing local resonance phenomena of embedded mass-spring resonators. Conventional LRMs, however, are limited by fixed bandgap characteristics once fabricated, necessitating re-fabrication or complex processing for any frequency adjustment. This study proposes a novel, tunable bandgap LRM architecture constructed from readily available, off-the-shelf mechanical components: a plastic bolt serving as the stiffness element and a changeable steel square nut as the mass element. Numerical analyses, employing Bloch-Wave theory for dispersion curve calculations and finite element methods for frequency response function (FRF) simulations, validate the systematic tunability of the bandgap. Specifically, by simply adjusting the nut's position along the bolt, the bandgap's central frequency and bandwidth can be effectively modulated without re-machining. Experimental validation on an 8x8 finite array structure confirms the formation and adjustable nature of these bandgaps, demonstrating a consistent shift in the bandgap frequency range in response to nut position changes, which aligns well with numerical predictions. This approach offers a practical, low-cost, and easily manufacturable solution for vibration mitigation, enabling on-site adaptable designs for targeted frequency ranges.

This study was conducted to investigate the changes in physicochemical characteristics and nutritional components of oak-grown Lentinula edodes extracts following fermentation using various lactic acid bacteria (LAB), with the aim of evaluating its potential as a functional and high-value material for health functional foods. The control group consisted of non-fermented oak-grown L. edodes extract; for fermentation, multiple strains of Lactobacillus plantarum, Leuconostoc lactis, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus sakei LJ011, Lactobacillus sakei LI033, Lactobacillus sakei LGy039, Pediococcus pentosaceus ALJ015, Pediococcus pentosaceus ALJ024, and Pediococcus pentosaceus ALJ026 were used. The fermented samples were analyzed for proximate composition, free sugars, ergosterol, vitamin D2, β-glucan, and nucleotides. In proximate composition analysis, L. acidophilus-fermented L. edodes (LE_LA) exhibited the highest crude protein and crude fat contents, whereas P. pentosaceus ALJ026-fermented L. edodes (LE_PP ALJ026) showed the highest ash and crude fiber levels. Regarding free sugars, L. sakei LJ011-fermented L. edodes (LE_LS LJ011) showed the highest sucrose concentration. Ergosterol and vitamin D2 contents were significantly higher in LE_LA, at 422.63mg% and 0.18mg%, respectively. The β-glucan content also increased in all fermented samples, with the highest value (37.27%) found in LE_LA, indicating an enhancement in immune-related functional components through fermentation. Nucleic acid compounds such as 5’- GMP, 5’-IMP, and 5’-XMP were markedly through fermentation. Nucleic acids, LE_LA and P. pentosaceus ALJ026-fermented L. edodes (LE_PP ALJ026). Overall, LAB fermentation of oakgrown L. edodes notably improved the contents of bioactive compounds such as β-glucan, ergosterol, and amino acids. These findings suggest that LAB fermentation can be effectively used to enhance the nutritional and functional properties of oak-grown L. edodes, providing potential for its development as a high-value functional food ingredient.

This study investigated nutritional composition and bioactive properties of thinned Shinanogold apples to evaluate their potential as functional food and cosmetic ingredients. Thinned Shinanobold apples exhibited markedly higher vitamin C (16.22 mg/100 g), total phenolics (886.27 mg GAE/100g), and total flavonoids (31.54 mg QE/g) levels than mature apples. The antioxidant capacity, assessed using DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging assays, was significantly higher in thinned apples (74% and 72%, respectively) than in mature apples (48% and 52%, respectively). The tyrosinase inhibitory activity, which is important for melanin reduction, and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, which play a role in delaying glucose absorption, were higher in thinned apples (67% and 70%, respectively) than in mature apples (X and X, respectively), suggesting potential use of thinned apples as skin-whitening and antidiabetic agents. Furthermore, lipoxygenase inhibitory activity was higher in thinned apples (52%) than in mature apples (42%), suggesting potential use of thinned apples as an anti-inflammatory agent. These findings demonstrate that thinned Shinanobold apples contain bioactive constituents with superior activities compared with mature fruits. In addition, these results highlight the potential use of thinned apples as functional food ingredients and cosmetic agents.

This study examines the dynamic characteristics of an articulated aerial work platform. The platform performs articulated joint motions and telescopic boom extension to access both upper-side and under-structure work areas. The boom system includes two articulated joints with slewing rotation, and the tip section is a multi-stage telescopic boom. Component-level dynamics of three telescopic boom components made of Strenx 960 were compared with the system-level dynamics of the fully assembled vehicle. Natural frequencies and mode shapes up to the second mode were obtained through experimental modal analysis based on frequency response functions (FRFs). For the assembled vehicle, tri-axial acceleration responses were transformed into the frequency domain using FFT, and dominant natural frequencies were identified from the spectra. The results show a clear separation between the two levels. The component-level dynamics appeared in the tens-of-hertz range. In contrast, the dominant system-level natural frequencies were observed in the low-frequency range (near 1 Hz). These findings indicate that the assembled system exhibits dominant dynamics distinct from those of individual boom components. They also highlight the need for system-level considerations when interpreting dynamic performance under practical operating conditions.

Although vimentin is widely recognized as a mesenchymal marker, its expression in epithelial cells has been reported in several physiological and pathological conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate the immunoreactivity of vimentin in the epithelial component of benign odontogenic tumors. Immunohistochemistry for vimentin was performed in a total of 28 benign odontogenic tumors consisting of 11 WNT pathway-altered odontogenic tumors (WNT-OTs), 12 ameloblastomas, and 5 adenomatoid odontogenic tumors. All WNT-OTs (11/11), including calcifying odontogenic cyst, dentinogenic ghost cell tumor, and adenoid ameloblastoma, were focally positive for vimentin. Specifically, clear cells in close proximity to dentinoid were consistently positive, a subset of ghost cells were positive with varying degrees of intensity, but morular structures were negative. Two thirds of ameloblastomas (8/12) were focally positive for vimentin, more frequently in peripheral cells or the basal layer than in central cells or the upper layers, respectively. All adenomatoid odontogenic tumors (5/5) were focally positive for vimentin, especially in peripheral anastomosing strands and some cells adjacent to calcifications. Vimentin expression in epithelial cells is a common feature of benign odontogenic tumors. The intratumoral localization of vimentin in WNT-OTs may provide insights into the nature of their histologic components.

The design code specifies the seismic loads for non-structural components (NSC) regardless of their planar locations. Thus, structures with irregular geometry that exhibit torsional behavior may experience greater seismic loads than those specified by the design code. This study assessed the adequacy of the code-specified equivalent static loads using nonlinear dynamic analysis results from structures intentionally designed to be eccentric, and finally proposed a formula that accounts for torsional amplification effects in buildings. The analysis results indicated that the code-specified equivalent static loads were conservative in the lower stories or near the center of mass. On the other hand, the dynamic analysis-based loads exceeded the equivalent static load in the outer perimeter of the mid- and upper stories. Accordingly, a torsional amplification factor equation was proposed, which is a function of the building's eccentricity ratio and the relative distance from the center of mass. The proposed equation applies to the NSC installed in the stories above the midpoint of the total building height. For a building with zero eccentricity or NSC at the center of mass, the function was set to unity.

As the unmanned aerial vehicle industry grows, unexplained multirotor crashes continue to increase, and existing preventive maintenance methods have limitations in managing multirotor safety. Safety must be the top priority in multi-copter operations. To address this, real-time monitoring of the multi-copter's flight status during operation is required, along with anomaly detection and immediate response based on flight log information. However, limitations exist in processing anomaly data for each flight control log, necessitating the development of standardized technology to overcome this challenge. In this paper we propose a standardized process for collecting multi-copter flight control logs in real time, classifying the log information by message sets, and extracting key defect detection indicators contained in each message set. Furthermore, the extracted defect detection indicators were validated using various supervised learning models. In our experimental results, we collected flight logs from a multi-copter equipped with a defective propeller and conducted experiments using three defect detection models. The results show an accuracy rate of 0.99. This is the F1-score for the defect detection rate.

흰점박이꽃무지(Protaetia brevitarsis) 유충은 고단백·고지방·미네랄이 풍부한 식용곤충으로 기능성 식품 및 사료 소재로 주목받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 열풍건조, 동결건조, 마이크로파건조 세 가지 방법으로 건조한 흰점박이꽃무지 유충의 영양성분과 유해물질 함량을 비교하여, 건조 공 정에 따른 품질 및 안전성 차이를 평가하고자 하였다. 동일한 조건에서 사육한 유충을 각 건조방법으로 처리한 후 수분함량을 보정하여 일반성분, 지방산 조성, 아미노산 조성, 무기질 함량 및 중금속 함량을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 마이크로파건조 처리군은 조단백질(57.6 g/100 g), 조지방(17.7 g/100 g), 올레산(10.5 g/100 g) 함량이 열풍건조 및 동결건조 처리군보다 유의하게 높았고, 식이섬유와 칼슘은 동결건조 처리군에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 모든 처리군에서 중금속 함량은 국내 식용곤충 관리 기준을 충분히 하회하여 안전성이 확보되었다. 이러한 결과는 동결건조가 항상 영양 소 보존에 가장 유리하다는 통념을 보완하며, 건조 효율과 영양 농축 정도가 곤충 체조직 특성과 건조 조건에 따라 달라질 수 있음을 시사한다. 따라 서 흰점박이꽃무지 유충의 가공 과정에서 마이크로파건조는 영양 농축과 품질 확보를 동시에 고려할 수 있는 실용적인 대안 건조공정으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Airborne bacteria are an important component of atmospheric fine particulate matter (PM2.5), yet the interactions between microbial communities and organic compounds remain poorly characterized. This study investigated the impact of alkane chain length on bacterial dynamics in outdoor PM2.5 using correlation analysis, generalized additive models, and network-based approaches. Among individual alkane species, C30 (n-triacontane) showed a consistent positive association with bacterial concentration in both simple and partial correlation analyses, whereas C20 (n-eicosane) and C24 (n-tetracosane) exhibited significant negative associations only after controlling for collinearity among alkanes. Grouped alkane classes (C20–C24, C25–C29, C30– C35) did not show statistically significant nonlinear effects on bacterial concentration in models using the full dataset. However, temperature demonstrated a strong nonlinear effect and acted as a modifier of alkane-bacteria relationships. Stratified generalized additive models revealed that under high-temperature conditions (≥ 14oC), all three alkane groups showed significant and localized nonlinear associations with bacterial concentration, with the strongest positive response observed for C30–C35 (p = 0.0011). Network analysis indicated that mid-chain alkanes (C20–C25) were positively linked to metabolically versatile genera such as Pseudomonas, Caldalkalibacillus, Pseudarthrobacter, Pigmentiphaga, and Janthinobacterium, whereas long-chain alkanes (C26–C35) were negatively associated with genera including Methylosinus, Pelomonas, and Pedomicrobium. These results suggest that alkane chain length acts as an ecological filter structuring bacterial communities present in PM2.5 and that hightemperature conditions (≥ 14oC) enhance these interactions by altering alkane phase behavior and particle stability. Understanding these coupled chemical and biological processes is therefore critical for anticipating future changes in air quality and emerging health risks.

Due to the implementation of the Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) scheme, the verification of the microbiological safety of imported agricultural by-products used as mushroom substrates is now concerning. However, basic data on pathogenic fungi remain scarce. In this study, we examined fungal contamination levels (CFU/g) in the agricultural by-products imported in 2017 from Egypt, Germany, India, and Ukraine. Fungal loads ranged from 1.0 × 102 - 6.6 × 104 CFU/g. A total of 25 species across 10 genera were identified, including 21 species from Ascomycota, 3 species from Basidiomycota, and 1 species from Mucoromycota. Some of these species have been known to produce mycotoxins and exhibit pathogenicity toward humans or animals. The results of this study suggest that the fungal contamination in imported agricultural by-products is a critical factor to be considered in mushroom cultivation.

In this study, flavored oils were developed using oak mushroom (Lentinula edodes), with olive, avocado, soybean, and sunflower oils as the carrier oils. Changes in oxidative stability, color, aroma, and taste resulting from infusion with oak mushroom powder were then comparatively evaluated. Across all four oils, the samples infused with oak mushroom powder did not exhibit significant differences in primary and secondary oxidation levels compared with those of the controls; however, in terms of color, browning decreased in olive oil but tended to increase in avocado, soybean, and sunflower oils. Based on the analysis of aromatic characteristics, major sulfur compounds derived from oak mushroom formed in refined soybean and sunflower oils, whereas olive and avocado oils did not exhibit distinct effects. In terms of taste characteristics, umami increased after oak mushroom powder infusion across all oils, and the enhancement of umami was particularly significant in olive and avocado oils. These results indicate that the aromatic and taste characteristics of oak mushroom-flavored oils exhibit different patterns depending on the type of vegetable oil used.
