To utilize textured vegetable protein (TVP) in food manufacturing, TVP was soaked in salt solutions of different concentrations. Physicochemical quality characteristics of TVP were then measured. When TVP was soaked in a salt solution, the pH tended to increase compared to the control. However, the pH decreased after 18 hours of soaking. The salinity of the control decreased slightly from the initial value depending on the soaking time. The group treated with salt solution showed higher salinity than the control. Water absorption capacity of the control increased as the soaking time increased. However, water absorption capacity of the group treated with salt solution decreased as the concentration of salt solution increased. Lightness of the group treated with salt solution showed less change than the control during soaking. The redness increased as the concentration of salt solution increased. The yellowness increased compared to the control during soaking. Hardness, gumminess, and chewiness of the control decreased during soaking in water. The group treated with salt solution showed significantly higher hardness, gumminess, and chewiness as the concentration of the salt solution increased. However, adhesiveness, elasticity, and cohesiveness generally did not show significant differences among samples.

본 연구는 딸기의 삽목 육묘 시 묘소질을 향상시키고 품질을 증진시키기 위한 지베렐린 효과를 검증하기 위해 수행되었다. 품종은 ‘설향’을 대상으로 하였고, 삽목 시 삽수의 기부를 30, 60분간 GA3 50, 100, 150mg·L-1에 침지 처리하고 증류수 침 지를 대조구로 두었다. 정식 시 묘소질 조사 결과 엽수와 SPAD 값은 지베렐린 침지시간이 길수록 증가하였고, 초장, 엽병장, 엽장, 엽폭, 엽면적은 침지시간과 농도 간의 상호작용에 따라 유의하게 값이 변하였다. 관부직경은 같은 농도라 할지라도 침지시간에 따른 차이가 나타났으며 30분, 100mg·L-1 처리를 제외하고 모두 직경이 8.0mm 이상으로 우량한 묘가 생성되 었으며, T/R률은 30분, 50mg·L-1 처리에서 유의하게 작아 식 물체 활력이 가장 우수했다. 양자수율은 농도가 150mg·L-1일 때 저조하였고, 지베렐린 처리 농도가 높을수록 양자수율이 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. NPQ는 대조구 대비 30분, 150mg·L-1 처리에서 유의하게 작아 묘 스트레스 감소에 효과 가 있었다. 항산화물 함량은 30분, 50mg·L-1 처리와 60분, 150mg·L-1 처리에서 높게 나타났고, 정식 후 생육조사 결과 화아분화 정도에 미치는 지베렐린의 부정적 영향은 없었다. 따라서, ‘설향’ 딸기의 삽목 육묘 시 지베렐린 처리는 정식묘 양성에 효과가 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 이때 대조구 대 비 생육 증진 및 품질 향상을 위해서는 삽수 기부를 50mg·L-1 의 지베렐린에 30분 침지처리하는 것이 보다 적정한 것으로 판단되었다.

Different materials have been shown to "catalyze" carbon nanotube (CNT) growth in chemical vapor deposition (CVD) when they become nano-sized particles. Catalysts, which act as a kind of "seed" for CNT growth, show two types of behavior in the CVD method; precipitation of carbon atoms from the eutectic alloy forming a kind of alloy with carbon; the fact that the catalyst remains as a solid phase and forms a carbon surface layer during the CVD process. This study examines the relationship between the iron-group and non-iron-group catalyst types and the catalyst concentration and growth time of CVD-based CNT growth via emphasizing growth mechanisms. The novelty of this work is to compare and evaluate the effects of catalyst type, concentration, and growth time, which are three critical CVD parameters, on the final nanotube morphology. It was utilized five different catalysts ( Fe2O3, Fe3O4, Nb2O5, Au, and Pt), three different growth durations (3, 5, and 7 min), and three different catalyst concentrations (2, 4, and 6 wt%) to explore the morphological differences on CNT synthesis by CVD under the same process parameters. The results demonstrated that catalyst type is the most influential parameter in CVD-based CNT synthesis, while catalyst concentration and growth time are indispensable elements for the uniformity and small diameter in the final morphology.

High voltage impulse (HVI) has been gained attention as an alternative technique that could control the CaCO3 scale problems encountered in water main, pipe, cooling tower and heat exchanger vessels. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of electric field (E) and contact time (t) of HVI on reduction of Ca2+ concentration at two different temperatures of 25℃ and 60℃. A kinetic model on the effect of E and t was investigated too. As the E and t increased, the Ca2+ concentration decreased more than that of the control (= no HVI). The Ca2+ concentration decreased up to 81% at 15 kV/cm at 60℃, which was nearly 2 times greater than the control. With these experimental data-set of reduction of Ca2+ concentration under different E and t, the kinetic model was developed. The relationship between E and t required to reduce the concentration of Ca2+ by 30% was modeled at each temperature. The empirical model equations were; E0.83· t = 60.3 at 25℃ and E0.08· t = 1.1 at 60℃. These equations state the products of En and t is always constant, which means that the required contact time can be reduced in accordance with the increment of E and vice versa.

Electro-coagulation process has been gained an attention recently because it could overcome the membrane fouling problems in MBR(Membrane bio-reactor). Effect of the key operational parameters in electro-coagulation, current density(ρ i) and contact time(t) on membrane fouling reduction was investigated in this study. A kinetic model for ρi and t required to reduce the membrane fouling was suggested under different MLSS(mixed liquor suspended solids) concentration. Total 48 batch type experiments of electro-coagulations under different sets of current densities(2.5, 6, 12 and 24 A/m2), contact times(0, 2, 6 and 12 hr) and MLSS concentration(4500, 6500 and 8500mg/L) were carried out. After each electro-coagulation under different conditions, a series of membrane filtration was performed to get information on how much of membrane fouling was reduced. The membrane fouling decreased as the ρi and t increased but as MLSS decreased. Total fouling resistances, Rt (=Rc+Rf) were calculated and compared to those of the controls (Ro), which were obtained from the experiments without electro-coagulation. A kinetic approach for the fouling reduction rate (Rt/Ro) was carried out and three equations under different MLSS concentration were suggested: i) pi0.39t = 3.5 (MLSS=4500 mg/L), ii) pi0.46t = 7.0 (MLSS=6500 mg/L), iii) pi0.74t = 10.5 (MLSS=8500 mg/L). These equations state that the product of ρi and t needed to reduce the fouling in certain amounts (in this study, 10% of fouling reduction) is always constant.

본 연구는 기구등에 오염된 E. coli와 S. aureus를 제어 하기 위해 이산화염소의 농도별 접촉시간에 따른 살균소 독력을 평가하여 살균예측모델을 개발하였다. E. coli의 경우 초기균수가 9.13 log CFU/mL이었고, 청정조건에서 5 ppm으로 1분, 3분, 5분 처리한 결과 각각 0.04, 0.07, 0.10 log CFU/mL의 감소값을 나타내었다. 20 ppm을 처리한 결 과 각각 0.74, 0.79, 0.84 log CFU/mL의 감소값을 나타내었다. 또한 CCD에 의한 최대농도 35 ppm으로 처리한 결과 각각 2.49, 2.70, 3.65 log CFU/mL의 감소값을 나타내었다. S. aureus의 경우 초기균수가 8.70 log CFU/mL이었고, 청정조건에서 5 ppm으로 1분, 3분, 5분 처리한 결과 각각 0.14, 0.28, 0.36 log CFU/mL의 감소값을 나타내었다. 20 ppm을 처리한 결과 각각 0.66, 0.79, 0.90 log CFU/mL의 감소값을 나타내었다. 또한 CCD에 의한 최대농도 35 ppm 으로 처리한 결과 각각 4.59, 5.25, 5.81 log CFU/mL의 감소값을 나타내었다. 따라서 이산화염소의 살균소독력 평 가결과는 E. coli와 S. aureus에 대하여 식품의약품안전처 살균소독력 기준에 모두 만족하는 것으로 나타났다. 살균 예측모델의 경우, R2값이 모두 0.98 이상으로 두 균주에 대해 모두 높은 적합성을 보였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 이산화염소의 살균예측모델을 식품산업 적용을 위한 기초자 료로 활용함으로써 E. coli와 S. aureus를 적절한 농도와 접촉시간으로 제어할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Y2O3–H3BO3:Eu3+ powders are synthesized using a mechanical alloying method, and their photoluminescence (PL) properties are investigated through luminescence spectrophotometry. For samples milled for 300 min, some Y2O3 peaks ([222], [440], and [622]) and amorphous formations are observed. The 300-min-milled mixture annealed at 800°C for 1 h with Eu = 8 mol% has the strongest PL intensity at every temperature increase of 100°C (increasing from 700 to 1200°C in 100°C increments). PL peaks of the powder mixture, as excited by a xenon discharge lamp (20 kW) at 240 nm, are detected at approximately 592 nm (orange light, 5Do → 7F1), 613 nm, 628 nm (red light, 5Do → 7F2), and 650 nm. The PL intensity of powder mixtures milled for 120 min is generally lower than that of powder mixtures milled for 300 min under the same conditions. PL peaks due to YBO3 and Y2O3 are observed for 300-min-milled Y2O3–H3BO3 with Eu = 8 mol% after annealing at 800°C for 1 h.

서울특별시 용산구의 측정망에서 2004년부터 2013년간 관측한 대기질 자료를 중심으로 SO2의 환경거동을 시간적 기준으로 다양한 관점에서 분석하였다. 이와 동시에 관측한 기타 대기오염물질들(PM2.5, PM10, TSP, CH4, CO, NO, NO2, NOx, O3, THC, NMHC)의 농도자료와 기상자료들과의 관계를 해석하는 방식으로 SO2의 거동을 조사하였다. 10년간 측정한 용산구 지역에서 측정한 SO2의 연간 평균농도는 대기환경기준치인 20nmole mole-1보다 5배 정도 낮은 4.36-5.86(최저-최고) nmole mole-1 수준으로 나타났다. 이는 연간 평균농도가 관리기준치를 초과하는 성분들과 뚜렷하게 대조적인 양상을 보였다. 여러 가지 통계적 기법을 적용하여 SO2의 배출량에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 파악하였다. 그리고 용산구에서 측정한 SO2와 기타대기오염물질, 기상자료들의 경향성을 비교해보았다. SO2은 온도 및 기타물질들에 대한 상관성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 본 연구의 결과에 의하면, SO2은 다른 대기오염물질들에 비해 상대적으로 관리가 잘 이루어지고 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있다.

The objective of this experiment was to assess the relationship between electrical resistance of the vaginal mucosa and plasma progesterone for optimal mating time in the bitch. Eight mature beagle bitches were examined, and we observed eight times of estrus. Vaginal electric resistance was recorded weekly using a Draminski ovulation detector in anestrus, and daily in estrus. Plasma progesterone concentration was estimated by radioimmunoassay. In the bitch, incline in vaginal electric resistance (376.20 ± 105.63 units) showed a closely association with the onset of proestrus. Ovulation day was determined as the first day when plasma progesterone concentration increased above 5.0 ng/ml (Day 0). On Day 0, vaginal mucous electric resistance was 438 ± 132 units. Vaginal mucous electric resistance showed a slight decrease or was maintained until Day 0. However, it showed an explosive increase, and peaked on Day 1~3, which was above 600 units. Two of eight cases peaked on Day 1, three of eight cases were revealed on Day 2, and others were revealed on Day 3. After Day 4, resistance showed a rapid drop to below 600 units and reached 200 units on Day 8. The optimal mating time was determined when vaginal mucous electric resistance was above 600 units.

There are many pollutants emitted into the air. Some of these pollutants have a malodor. Unlike other pollutants, people are able to detect and feel discomfort when this type of pollutant becomes high peak concentration instantaneously. In this sense, the peak concentration has an important meaning in the odor management and modeling. In previous odor modeling, the peak concentration was calculated by correcting the one-hour average concentration using the correlation equation. This study was carried out to find appropriate method to predict the peak concentration using meteorological input data of high time resolution in the odor modeling. It show that the peak concentration could be directly calculated from the dispersion modeling without using the correction equation when fine time scales such as 1 min or less time intervals are used as the meteorological input.

This study was conducted to determine the relationship between elapsed time after semen preservation on the changes of bacteria and semen quality. Semen was diluted with BTS(Beltsville Thawing Solution) extender without antibiotic for 7 days and sperm parameter and fertility were measured. Sperm motility was measured by CASA and total bacteria number was counted after 22～24 hr incubation from counting agar plate in which sperm dilute to 10 ～106 in 0.9% saline solution and inoculate to agar. Acrosomal integrity was measured by Chlortetracycline (CTC) staining. CTC patterns were uniform fluorescence over the whole head (pattern F), characteristic of incapacitated acrosome- intact spermatozoa; fluorescence-free band in the post-acrosomal region (pattern B), characteristic of capacitated acrosome-intact spermatozoa; and almost no fluorescence over the whole head except for a thin band in the equatorial segment (pattern AR), characteristic of acrosome reacted spermatozoa. Total number of bacteria was significantly increased (p<0.0001) 3 days after preservation. Sperm motility, viability, and morphological abnormality on elapsed time after preservation were lower from 5 (77.24±6.47, p<0.001) and 7 days (77.24±6.47, p<0.001) after preservation compared to 1 (15.71±7.18) and 3 days(18.39±7.22) after preservation, respectively. Sperm viability was significantly lower (53.25± 35.03, p<0.0001) at 7 days after preservation. Morphological abnormality of sperm was lower (p<0.001) at 1 (15.71±7.18) and 3 (18.39±7.22) days compared to 5 (21.84±7.91) and 7 (22.59±9.93) days after preservation. Acrosomal integrity and capacitation rate (pattern F) were significantly lower (p<0.001) from 5 days after preservation. Based on the data we obtained from this study suggested that semen preserved more than 5 days without antibiotic would not recommend use for artificial insemination.

Bacterial contamination reduces the semen quality, semen preservation, and cause of disease spread as well. Sperm fertility is essential factor of reproductive performance in swine. Sperm fertility is affected by semen quality such as sperm motility, abnormality, morphology, and rate of bacterial contamination. This study was conducted to determine the relationship between elapsed time after semen preservation on the changes of bacteria and semen quality. Semen was diluted with BTS extender without antibiotic for 7 days and sperm parameter and fertility were measured. Sperm motility was measured by CASA and total bacteria number was counted after 22 24 hr incubation from counting agar plate in which sperm dilute to 10 106 in 0.9% saline solution and inoculate to agar. Acrosomal integrity was measured by Chlortetracycline (CTC) staining. CTC patterns were uniform fluorescence over the whole head (pattern A), characteristic of uncapacitated acrosome-intact spermatozoa; fluorescence-free band in the post-acrosomal region (pattern B), characteristic of capacitated acrosome-intact spermatozoa; and almost no fluorescence over the whole head except for a thin band in the equatorial segment (pattern C), characteristic of acrosome reacted spermatozoa. Total number of bacteria was significantly increased (p<0.0001) 3 days after preservation. Sperm motility, viability, and morphological abnormality on elapsed time after preservation were lower from 5 (77.24±6.47, p<0.001) and 7 days (77.24±6.47, p< 0.001) after preservation compared to 1 (15.71±7.18) and 3 days(18.39±7.22) after preservation, respectively. Sperm viability was significantly lower (53.25±35.03, p<0.0001) at 7 days after preservation. Mohological abnormality of sperm was lower (p<0.001) at 1 (15.71±7.18) and 3 (18.39±7.22) days compared to (5 21.84±7.91) and 7 (22.59± 9.93) days after preservation. Acrosomal integrity and capacitation rate (pattern A) were significantly lower (p<0.001) from 5 days after preservation.

이 논문에서는 환경변수의 시계열 분포도 작성과 불확실성 모델링을 위해 시공간영역으로 확장된 다중 가우시안 크리깅을 제안하였다. 다중 가우시안 틀 안에서, 우선 정규점수변환된 환경변수를 결정론적 경향 성분과 확률론적 잔차 성분으로 분해하였다. 그리고 시간 경향 모델 계수의 내삽을 통해 경향 성분의 시계열 공간 분포도를 작성하였다. 정상성 잔차 성분의 시공간 상관 구조는 곱-합 시공간 베리오그램 모델을 이용하여 정량화하였고, 이 베리오그램 모델과 시공간 크리깅을 이용하여 국소적 누적 확률분포함수를 모델링하였다. 이 국소적 누적 확률분포함수로부터 평균값과 조건부 분산을 계산하여 공간분포도 작성과 불확실성 분석에 각각 이용하였다. 제안 기법의 적용성 평가를 위해 인천광역시에서 3년간 13개 관측소에서 측정된 월 평균 미세먼지(PM10) 농도 자료를 이용한 시계열 분포도 작성 사례 연구를 수행하였다. 사례연구 결과, 제안 기법을 통해 기존 공간 정규 크리깅에 비해 작은 편향과 높은 예측 능력을 가진 시계열 미세먼지(PM10) 농도 분포도 작성이 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 조건부 분산과 특정 농도값을 초과할 확률값들은 해석을 위한 유용한 보조 정보를 제공하였다.

In this study, we estimated nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) concentrations in microenvironments where residential indoor, residential outdoor, other indoors, and transportation using measured personal exposure and multiple linear regression analysis of time-weighted average model, and compared with measured NO₂ concentration in microenvironments. Measured residential indoor, outdoor and other indoor NO₂ concentration was 22.22±9.59 ppb, 23.64±9.62 ppb, and 22.07±13.90 ppb, respectively. NO₂ concentrations in residential indoor and outdoor, total outdoor, other indoor, and transportation by multiple regression analysis were significantly estimated as 20.48 ppb, 32.79 ppb, 24.35 ppb, and 28.82 ppb, respectively (p= 0.000). Measured and estimated NO₂ concentration were similar with each other, therefore NO₂ concentrations in each microenvironment were able to be estimated using time-weighted average model and personal exposure with multiple regression analysis.

EC 기준 순환식 양액재배에서 식물의 양분 흡수와 배액율은 재사용 양액 내의 이온 비율과 농도에 영향을 미친다. 본 연구는 파프리카(Capsicum annum L. 'Boogie')의 EC 기준 순환식 양액재배에서 시간과 배액율에 따른 이온 농도의 변화를 분석하기 위해 수행하였다. 첫 번째 실험에서 수집된 배액을 EC 2.2dS·m-1로 조정하고 새로 조성한 양액과 혼합하여 재사용 하고 주기적으로 샘플링 하여 이온의 농도를 분석하였다. 두번째 실험은 7%, 16%, 39%, 51%의 배액율을 적용하고 배액과 배액을 원수로 희석하고 새로 조성한 양액과 혼합하였을 때의 EC 변화와 이온 농도를 분석하고 비교하였다. 재사용 양액에서의 K+ : Ca2+와 SO42- : NO3-와 같은 이온 간의 비율 변화를 조사하였다. 첫번째 실험에서의 이온 농도의 변화 범위는 각각 K+ 1.13, Ca2+ 5.35, Mg2+ 0.92, NO3- 0.9 SO42- 1.10, PO43- 0.19meq·L-1이었다. 이온 간의 비율 변화는 양이온에서는 주로 K+ : Ca2+을 중심으로 음이온에서는 NO3- : SO42-을 중심으로 나타났다. 두 번째 실험에서 배액율에 따른 배액의 배액율이 증가함에 따라 점차 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. 배액 내 각 이온의 농도도 배액율의 증가에 따른 감소 경향을 보였다. 배액율에 따른 배액 내 이온 간의 비율 변화에는 차이가 없었다. 그러나 배액을 희석하고 새로 조성한 양액과 혼합함에 따라 교정 효과에 차이가 나타났다. 7% 의 배액율이 새 양액의 이온 비율에 가장 근접하였으며, 16%, 51% 39% 순으로 교정되었다. 교정에 따른 이온 비율 변화는 K+ : Ca2+와 NO3-와 PO43-를 중심으로 나타났다.

In recent, the ISO has suggested a new guideline by using an avoidance behavior of soil invertebrates for the use of screening tools in the evaluation of soil contamination. In this study, we used a collembolan, Paronychiurus kimi which is native to Korea, as a test species because of its ecological relevance to Korean soil. The objectives of this study were to evaluate whether the exposure time (24, 48, 72, 96 and 120 h) and cadmium concentration (50, 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg of dry soil) affect the avoidance behavior of P. kimi. Twenty collembolans were introduced to the center of the soil which divided into two sections; cadmium untreated soil was placed in one of the section, and the cadmium treated soil was placed in the opposite section. To minimize soil structural effect on the avoidance behavior, the both soils were compacted by applying unidirectional force to the soil surface. The avoidance behaviors of P. kimi were not significantly affected by cadmium concentrations after 24 and 48 h of exposure, but were significant after 72-120 h. There results showed that avoidance behavior appears to be a good endpoint for the use in evaluation of soil contamination with 72 h of exposure duration.

본 연구는 스타티스 평난지 재배에서 생육불량, 수량감소, 출하기 조절 등의 문제점을 해결하기 위해 GA3 처리기술을 개발하고, 이들의 처리가 개화와 절화수량에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. GA3 처리 농도별 효과는 하계재배(0, 100, 200, 400, 800mg.L-1)와 촉성재배(0, 100, 200, 400mg.L-1) 나누었고, 처리시기별 효과는 정식(0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50일 후) 후와 육묘기간(3, 5, 7, 9주)으로 나누어 스타티스의 개화와 절화수량에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 그 결과 스타티스는 재배시기에 관계없이 GA3 처리에 의해 개화가 촉진되었다. 하계재배에서는 200~400mg L-1 농도에서 절화품질 및 절화수량이 증가하는 효과가 있었으며, 겨울철의 촉성재배에서는 400mg L-1 농도에서 효과가 좋았다. 처리시기에 따른 정식 10일 후 GA3 처리가 개화촉진에 효과적이었으나, 절화의 품질을 고려한다면 정식 20일경에 GA3 처리를 하는 것이 가장 적당할 것으로 생각된다. 육묘기간을 달리하여 GA3 처리시 개화촉진에는 효과가 없었으나 육묘기간이 긴 9주 육묘구에서 절화품질이 좋았고 절화수량도 많았다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면 종간잡종 스타티스는 9주간 육묘한 스타티스를 정식 20일경에 재배시기와 관계없이 400mg L-1 정도 처리했을 때 개화촉진과 절화수량 증진에 가장 효과적이었다.
