A self-powered time-temperature indicator (TTI) was optimized to enhance the performance of the TTI by modifying a biofuel cell using different immobilization, redox mediators, and status of electrode. The performance of the TTI was measured by output voltage of the TTI. The enzymes and combinations of lacasse mediators (HBT (1-hydroxybenzotriazole), Rupy (Bis-(bipyridine)-(5-aminophenanthroline) ruthenium bis (hexafluorophosphate)), MB (Methylene blue), SDP (4,4- sulfonyldiphenol)) and glucose oxidase mediators (FA (Ferroceneboxaldehyde), DBQ(2,5-dihydroxybenzoquinone), HQS (8-hydroxyquinoline-5sulfonic acid hydrate), FHFP (Ferrocenium hexafluorophosphate)) were immobilized with stabilizers (pyrrole) on a glassy carbon electrode by electrodeposition by applying a square wave, cross-linking and physical immobilization. MWCNTs were used to modify glassy carbon electrodes. MWCNTs coated electrodes produced higher output voltage than uncoated electrodes. The optimum and stable performance of the self-powered TTI was that the output voltage of 64 mV and duration time was 3hr at 25°C, when the combination of Rupy, MB for laccase mediators and HQS, FHFP for glucose oxidase mediators were immobilized on MWCNTs coated electrodes by applying a square wave method. In the application, the concentrations of enzyme and glucose were adjusted to prolong the shelf-life of TTI at much lower output voltage.

Time-temperature indicators or integrators (TTIs) indicate food quality changes based on time-temperature history. Whilst many types of TTIs have been developed and commercialized, educated consumers often refuse to purchase food products with attached TTI labels showing even a slight color change. In this study, a novel on-off diffusion-based TTI coupled with polydiacetylene/silica nanocomposites has been proposed. The prototype TTI tag has a multilayer structure comprised of a self-adhesive base layer, a middle microporous sheet, and an upper opaque white layer coupled with a square reservoir of Tween 20 attached to an activation stripe. At the end of the diffusion path, polydiacetylene/silica nanocomposites were injected into a loading site as a fine blue stripe. After activation, Tween 20 diffused and reached the loading site, where it rapidly changed from blue-to-red via solvatochromism. This alternative and innovative TTI continuously showed a blue color until reaching the end point, at which stage a red color rapidly appeared, indicating product rejection. Thus, this novel TTI it is of great benefit to the brand owner. The developed prototype was characterized and evaluated for its ability to monitor microbial quality based on published, isothermal, microbial growth data of modified-atmosphere packaged minced beef, Mediterranean fish, and ground pork. The diffusion of Tween 20 in the TTI system was measured under various isothermal conditions and a kinetic model, based on the association between diffusion and time-temperature, was investigated. The Gaussian-estimated activation energy value was 51.082kJ mol-1. Tween 20 diffusion of 6.10, 5.15 and 6.15mm along the TTI systems were considered to be end points and the 95% confidence interval between the times taken for TTI to display OFF and for the foods to reach their deterioration thresholds were 23.30-23.70, 23.00-23.50 and 23.44-24.05h for total aerobic bacteria, Shewanella putrefaciens, and Pseudomonas spp. respectively. The TTI performance test for reproducibility and accuracy revealed a normal frequency distribution with 35004.90, 1200.254.82 and 549.811.09min at 0, 11 and 25C, respectively in accordance with the investigation of diffusion in the TTI.

With the development of marketing, time-temperature indicator (TTI) is applied to monitor the storage temperature and time to predict the shelf-life of food by irreversible color change. This study mainly focused on developing the solid-type enzymatic time temperature indicator as a first exploration on printable TTI. It was based on the phenomenon that starch would change its color into blue when meets iodine, and the hydrolysis of enzyme make the color turn to colorless gradually. Combining the microencapsulation technology to immobilize enzyme, several TTIs with different formulas were achieved, and hopefully to be applied on different foods, whose storage temperature is 4 and their shelf-life could be 5-6 days. Chilled pork meat was chosen as an indicating target to figure out a suitable specific TTI by activation energy comparing and lasting time matching.

There has been an accelerating increase in water reuse due to growing world population, rapid urbanization, and increasing scarcity of water resources. However, it is well recognized that water reuse practice is associated with many human health and ecological risks due to numerous chemicals and pathogenic microorganisms. Especially, the potential transmission of infectious disease by hundreds of pathogenic viruses in wastewater is one of the most serious human health risks associated with water reuse. In this study, we determined the response of different bacteriophages representing various bacteriophage groups to chlorination in real wastewater in order to identify a more reliable bacteriophage indicator system for chlorination in wastewater. Different bacteriophages were spiked into secondary effluents from wastewater plants from three different geographic areas, and then subjected to various doses of free chlorine and contact time at 5˚C in a bench-scale batch disinfection system. The inactivation of φX174 was relatively rapid and reached ∼4 log10 with a CT value of 5 mg/L*min. On the other hand, the inactivation of bacteriophage PRD1 and MS2 were much slower than the one for φX174 and only ~1 log10 inactivation was achieved by a CT value of 10 mg/L*min. Overall, the results of this study suggest that bacteriophage both MS2 and PRD1 could be a reliable indicator for human pathogenic viruses for chlorination in wastewater treatment processes and water reuse practice.

Much attention has recently been given to quantify the environmental and social importance on agricultural water quality impacts by agricultural activities. The demands for relevant data collection and range expansion of environmental indexing has been also higher than ever. Therefore, this study organized past and current research on agricultural water quality standards by OECD and Korea to evaluate agricultural activities and their impacts on agri-environmental policy development. The agricultural water quality standard set by OECD shows different opinions countries by counties, so the status indicator has been chosen and implemented instead. Nitrate (NO3 -) status indicator of groundwater in 2013 was significantly improved compared with the one in 2007. In addition, the quality status of surface water and groundwater were improved. It is necessary to set up a cooperative system between policy division and research institute to organizationally take action to worldwide trend on agricultural water quality indexing.

Axial force of the bolt is very important for structural stability. To obtain stability of the structure, axial force of the bolt should satisfy the specification and be maintained over the time. Hence, It is important to the axial force of the bolt is measured and it manages. However, measuring of the axial force using sensors is very expensive. Torque method using frequently in the field is difficult to confirm accurately by the torque coefficient change. In this study, measuring of axial force using elastic force of the spring washer was studied. First, the relational formula is drawn about the pressure in which the spring washer model changes to the annular of the plane state. According to the axial force of the bolt, the necessity height of the spring washer is presented and the finite-element analysis model is recommended. The analysis model research, generally, the axial force of high strength bolt is confirmed. It expands to confirmation of the large caliber bolt.

The objective of this study was to evaluate size-different chitosan nanoparticles as a CO2 indicator. CO2 gas is dissolved to form H2CO3 which makes the solution acidic. Chitosan is acid soluble and its appearance (turbidity) changes depending on pH in aqueous solution. Two size-different chitosan nanoparticles were fabricated by ionic gelation between chitosan (0.30 and 0.50%, w/v) and 0.07% sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) solution. The sizes of chitosan nanoparticles were 630.77 and 1194.87 nm, respectively. To investigate the effect of chitosan nanoparticles as CO2 indicator, the initial pH of chitosan nanoparticle suspension was adjusted to 8.0. Thereafter, 100% CO2 gas was injected into the chitosan nanoparticle suspension, and the changes of pH and absorbance (600 nm of absorption wavelength) of the suspension over time were measured for 28 min. Absorbance at the appearance transition and its corresponding time was calculated using logistic function (R2> 0.99).As a result, pH of chitosan nanoparticle suspension decreased rapidly under CO2 gas injection for 10 min and finally reached around 6.0. In addition, there was significant difference in appearance transition time which was6.62 and 12.45 min for small- and large-sized chitosan nanoparticle suspensions, respectively. This study suggests that chitosan nanoparticle suspension might be useful as a food quality indicator for CO2 emitting foods such as fermented foods.

케토시스 지표형질에 영향하는 환경요인을 살펴보기 위하여비유단계, 계절 및 착유시간에 대한 생산형질의 변화를 살펴보았다. 유량은 비유일수가 증가할수록 높아지는 추세를 보였고, 유지방 함량, 유단백 함량, 무지고형분 함량은 DIM1(비유초기)에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 계절에 따른 생산형질의 변화를 살펴보면 유량은 봄·겨울에 높게 나타났고, 유지방 함량과유당 함량, Acetone 및 BHBA 모두 가을에 높게 나타났다.또한 유량은 오전 착유시간이 높았고, 유지방 함량 및 유단백함량은 오후 시간대가 높게 나타났다. 환경요인에 따른 생산형질 및 케토시스 지표형질의 함량은 모두 유의적 차이를 보였으며, 분석모형을 설정함에 있어 위의 환경요인은 고려되어야 할 사항이다. 생산형질과 케토시스 지표형질의 상관관계 분석 결과 유량의 경우 Acetone 및 BHBA의 수치가 증가할수록 감소하는추세를 보였고, 유지방 함량은 반대로 Acetone 및 BHBA의수치가 증가할수록 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 비유단계와BHBA의 농도는 음의 상관관계를 보인다는 기존의 결과와 반대로 분석결과 양의 상관관계를 보였다. 유전력은 착유일5 ~ 20일에서 0.03 착유일 21 ~ 40일은 0.05 착유일 41 ~ 60일은 0.04 착유일 61 ~ 80일은 0.08 착유일 81 ~ 100일은 0.04의 유전력을 보였다. 이는 비유 5일째에 준임상형 케토시스의발병률이 가장 높게 나타난다는 기존의 연구결과에 비추어 볼때 유전력이 낮게 추정된 것으로 사료되며, 이는 1산차의 분석 자료수가 충분치 않은 결과로 추정된다. 케토시스 저항성개체 선발을 위한 유전평가모형에 적용가능한 선발지수를 개발하기 위해서는 여러해의 축적된 자료를 이용한 분석이 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

We present population synthesis models for the calcium II triplet (CaT), currently the most popular metallicity indicator, based on high-resolution empirical spectral energy distributions (SEDs). Our new CaT models, based on empirical SEDs, show a linear correlation below [Fe/H] ~ -0.5, but the linear relation breaks down in the metal-rich regime by converging to the same equivalent width. This relation shows good agreement with the observed CaT of globular clusters (GCs) in NGC 1407 and the Milky Way. However, a model based on theoretical SEDs does not show this feature of the CaT and fails to reproduce observed GCs in the metal-rich regime. This linear relation may cause inaccurate metallicity determination for metal-rich stellar populations. We have also conrmed that the effect of horizontal- branch stars on the CaT is almost negligible in models based on both empirical and theoretical SEDs. Our new empirical model may explain the difference between the color distributions and CaT distributions of GCs in various early-type galaxies. Based on our model, we claim that the CaT is not a good metallicity indicator for simple stellar populations in the metal-rich regime.
