This study aims to develop a regression model using data from the Ammunition Stockpile Reliability Program (ASRP) to predict the shelf life of 81mm mortar high-explosive shells. Ammunition is a single-use item that is discarded after use, and its quality is managed through sampling inspections. In particular, shelf life is closely related to the performance of the propellant. This research seeks to predict the shelf life of ammunition using a regression model. The experiment was conducted using 107 ASRP data points. The dependent variable was 'Storage Period', while the independent variables were 'Mean Ammunition Velocity,' 'Standard Deviation of Mean Ammunition Velocity,' and 'Stabilizer'. The explanatory power of the regression model was an R-squared value of 0.662. The results indicated that it takes approximately 55 years for the storage grade to change from A to C and about 62 years to change from C to D. The proposed model enhances the reliability of ammunition management, prevents unnecessary disposal, and contributes to the efficient use of defense resources. However, the model's explanatory power is somewhat limited due to the small dataset. Future research is expected to improve the model with additional data collection. Expanding the research to other types of ammunition may further aid in improving the military's ammunition management system.

In the mid-eastern part of the Yellow Sea, large-scale shelf ridges originated from erosion on sand-mud successions that have been presently eroded by strong tidal currents. A three-layered in situ geoacoustic model is provided down to 50 m for the subbottom sedimentary succession of a 45 m water depth using the Hamilton method. The succession is divisible into two-type units of Type-A and Type-B using high-resolution seismic profiles with a deep-drilled YSDP-104 core of 44.0 m in depth below the seafloor. Type-A unit mainly comprises sandy or gravelly sediments, whereas Type-B unit mostly consists of tidal muddy sediments with some thinner sand beds. P-wave speed values are positively compatible with the mean grain size and sediment type of the core sediments. For actual modeling, the geoacoustic property values of the models were compensated to in situ depth values below the seafloor. The detailed geoacoustic model contributes to simulating sound transmission through the sedimentary successions in erosional shelf ridges of variable geoacoustic properties distributed in shallow-water environments of the mid-eastern Yellow Sea.

In order to prevent accidents via defective ammunition, this paper analyzes recent research on ammunition life prediction methodology. This workanalyzes current shelf-life prediction approaches by comparing the pros and cons of physical modeling, accelerated testing, and statistical analysis-based prediction techniques. Physical modeling-based prediction demonstrates its usefulness in understanding the physical properties and interactions of ammunition. Accelerated testing-based prediction is useful in quickly verifying the reliability and safety of ammunition. Additionally, statistical analysis-based prediction is emphasized for its ability to make decisions based on data. This paper aims to contribute to the early detection of defective ammunition by analyzing ammunition life prediction methodology hereby reducing defective ammunition accidents. In order to prepare not only Korean domestic war situation but also the international affairs from Eastern Europe and Mid East countries, it is very important to enhance the stability of organizations using ammunition and reduce costs of potential accidents.

In this study, the expression of genes related to fruit ripening was investigated using realtime PCR. The study aimed to determine the effective conditions of calcium compounds (Calcium citrate, calcium chloride, calcium nitrate, GH-Ca, OS-Ca) and chitosan treatment to extend the shelf-life in the ‘Kumhong’ nectarine and ‘Madoka’ peach fruits. In this study, in the ‘Kumhong’ and ‘Madoka’ fruits, the expression of genes related to cell wall degradation, pectin lyase (PL), polygalacturonase (PG), and pectin methylesterase (PME), was inhibited by calcium, chitosan, or a mixture (Chitosan+CaCl2) treatment. In ‘Madoka’ peach, although the expression of the PG gene was suppressed at pre-harvest Ca and chitosan treatment, the expression of the PL gene was induced at pre- and post-harvest Ca and chitosan treatment compared to the control. The spray of calcium, chitosan itself, or a mixture (Chitosan+ CaCl2) on the trees at the ripening stage and harvested fruits can extend the shelf-life by suppressing the expression of cell wall degrading enzymes genes (PL, PG, PME) in ‘Kumhong’ nectarine and ‘Madoka’ peach tree. These results provide valuable information for the development of technology for the extension of the shelf-life of peach and nectarine fruits.

The legal status of Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction (BBNJ) has been regulated through the High Seas Treaty as a common heritage of humankind. However, there still exist problems related to overlapping areas above the Extended Continental Shelf (ECS). In such areas, a significant continental shelf would fall within national jurisdiction, whereas the water column would be under the regime of the high seas, and BBNJ would be the common heritage of humankind. We argue that, in order to address the overlapping of areas within the superjacent waters in the ECS, a given sui generis status is required, so that the coastal state has a sovereign right to conserve the BBNJ in these areas. This study concludes that the sui generis arrangement should be implemented in the context of an overlapping ECS and its water column. The efforts of the Indonesian government to extend the continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles constitute an important step in preserving natural resources for future generations.

Silkworms have been developed for food and medicinal purposes, and several silkworm products are commercially available. However, there has been no research on their shelf stability. This study investigated the shelf stability of freeze-dried silkworms during storage at various temperature and humidity conditions, using three lipid oxidation indicators: peroxide, acid, and TBA value. The higher the temperature and relative humidity are, the more significant the three lipid oxidation indicators increase. Among these indicators, the TBA and peroxide values show the highest temperature dependence and humidity dependence, respectively. This study could contribute to the standardization of the shelf life of products made from freeze-dried silkworms.

Smart retail enabled through in-store technology (IST) is believed to be the future of retail. However, several IST impacts, especially on individuals' well-being remain undisclosed. This study attempts to discover IST impact, particularly electronic shelf label (ESL) as a prospective technology, on customer well-being and post-transaction behavior (i.e., willingness to pay (WTP) and positive word of mouth (PWOM). Survey were from generations X, Y, and Z generating 305 respondents. A post hoc analysis utilizing PLS MGA is discussed for Gen X & Millennials vs. Gen Z groups. This study provides empirical evidence of smart retail on customer well-being and how it affects customer post-purchase behavior, namely WTP and PWOM. This study also provides evidence of how it differs across generational cohorts.

북동중국해 대륙붕 표층 퇴적물에서 산출하는 저서성 유공충의 군집 분포와 형성 기작을 파악 하기 위하여 32개 정점에서 표층 퇴적물을 채취하고, 입도조성, 저서성 유공충 군집분석, 14C 연대측정을 실시하였다. 표층 퇴적물은 사질(평균: 52.04%)의 잔류 퇴적물과 니질(평균: 47.92%) 의 현생 퇴적물과의 혼합 퇴적상이다. 저서성 유공충은 총 48속 104종(사질 유공충, 석회질 유리상 및 석회질 자기상 유공충)이 분류되었다. 사질 유공충은 양쯔강 앞 해역으로 산출빈 도(30%)가 증가하며, 부유성 유공충은 제주 남서해역에서 높은 산출빈도를 보인다. 우점종은 Ammonia ketienziensis, Bolivina robusta, Eggella advena, Eilohedra nipponica, Pseudorotalia gaimardii, Pseudoparrella naraensis 총 6종이다. 이들 중 가장 높은 산출빈도를 보이는 Bolivina robusta와 Pseudorotalia gaimardii의 14C 연대측정 결과 각각 2,360±40 B.P., 2,450±40 B.P.로 나 타났다. 군집분석 결과, P. gaimardii 군집, B. robusta 군집 및 A. ketienziensis-P. naraensis 군집 으로 대별된다. 양쯔강 담수 유입 영향을 받는 양쯔강 앞 해역에는 P. gaimardii 군집, 쿠로시오 해류의 영향을 받는 제주도 남서해역에서 B. robusta 군집 그리고 북서측 황해 중앙부 니질대 해역에 A. ketienziensis-P. naraensis 군집이 분포한다. 이러한 저서성 유공충 군집 조성 및 분 포는 약 2.5 ka BP 부터 형성되기 시작하였으며, 홀로세 후기 해수면 상승에 의한 저서 생태계 서식지 환경 변화를 반영하고 있는 것으로 생각된다.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of a coating agent on pork storage. Pork was coated with a coating agent containing sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and mandarin peel powder (M). The treatments were divided into control, a 0.1% CMC treatment, and a 0.1% CMC +5% M treatment, and pH, color, 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), and the number of viable cell counts were measured. In the case of redness (a), it was found that the reduction over the storage period was less in the 0.1% CMC + 5% M treatment than in the control and the 1% CMC treatment. When stored at 4oC and 25oC, TBARS of pork tended to increase during the storage period, followed by control, 0.1% CMC treatment, and 0.1% CMC + 5% M treatment, indicating that lipid oxidation was most suppressed in pork coated with mandarin peel powder. As a result of measuring the VBN of pork stored at 4oC and 25oC, the 0.1% CMC + 5% M treatment showed lower values than the control and 0.1% CMC treatment. When the film-coated pork was stored at 4oC, the number of viable cell counts in the 0.1% CMC +5% M treatment area was 7.13±0.96 log CFU/g on the 12th day of storage, delaying the growth of viable cell counts for approximately 3 d more than other treatments. Therefore, coating pork with a film containing CMC and mandarin peel powder has been confirmed to delay the increase in the number of viable cell counts while reducing the quality change during pork storage, which is an effective alternative to improving the storage of fresh food as an edible film.

To optimize initial cooling conditions, forced-air cooling was applied to freshly harvested oak mushrooms at 2 levels (0oC for 30 minutes, at 0oC for 1 hour) followed by room cooling at 3 levels (-3oC for 1 day, 0oC for 1 day, 3oC for 1 day). After initial cooling, the oak mushrooms were packaged with PVC film, then held in a storage room at 1oC for 6 weeks. Quality characteristics and percentage marketability were then investigated. As a control, Mushrooms were placed in storage with no initial cooling. The quality factors impacting marketability of fresh oak mushrooms were color change and appearance of decay. Off-odor did not occur or developed only slightly, so it did not affect oak mushroom quality within 6 weeks of low temperature storage. In all treatment groups, the shelf life in which 100% marketability was maintained was up to 3 weeks. At week 5, percent marketability of the 3 treatment groups 1 hour room cooling treatment at 0°C, 1 hour forced air cooling, and control was 100%. 80% In the group that underwent 30 min forced air cooling retained 80% marketability, and the group exposed to 1 day in room cooling at -3oC retained 86.7% marketability. At week 6 of 1oC storage, the marketability ratio was 80% in the 1 day room cooling at 0oC group, 66.7% in the 1 day room cooling at 3oC group, 46.7% in the 1 hour forced air cooling group, and 33% or less in all other treatment groups. Therefore, the most suitable initial cooling parameter to extend shelf-life of oak mushrooms is 1 day of in room cooling at 0oC immediately after harvest.

큰느타리의 수출시 유통 기한 연장을 목적으로 수확시 품질 등급, 대와 자실체 사이를 잘라낸 손질 처리 유무, 그리고 관행 OPP 봉지에 끈묶음한 포장 방법을 개선시켜 트레이용기에 넣은 후 밀봉처리시 효과를 구명하고자 하였다. 수확시 품질 등급은 수확전 재배사의 온도를 9~11˚C 낮추어 적응시킨 버섯을 특품으로, 관행 13~15˚C로 적응시킨 버섯을 상품으로 설정하였다. 선별한 특품과 상품 버섯을 이용하여 손질 및 포장방법으로 3처리구를 두었다. 첫째는 절단 손질 후 OPP 봉지에 넣어 끈묶음한 포장(Cut & OPP), 둘째는 손질하지 않고 OPP 봉지에 넣어 끈묶음한 포장(Uncut & OPP), 마지막으로 개선포장방 법으로 절단 손질한 후 트레이용기에 넣고 밀봉한 포장 (Cut & Tray)이었다. 포장 완료한 버섯 처리구를 0℃ 저장고에 42일간 보관하면서 포장 내부의 기체 조성, 품질 요인의 변화, 신선 품질에 대한 관능평가를 실시하였다. 특품과 상품의 버섯 모두 Cut & Tray, Cut & OPP, 그리고 Uncut & OPP 처리 순으로 전반적으로 신선도가 높게 유지되었다. 특품 버섯의 유통 수명은 Cut & Tray 처리의 경우 30일, Cut & OPP 처리의 경우 28일, Uncut & OPP 처리의 경우 21일이었고, 상품 버섯의 유통 수명은 Cut & Tray 처리시 22일, Cut & OPP 처리시 17일, 그리고 Uncut & OPP 처리시 14 일이었다. 신선 버섯의 품질에 영향을 미치는 요인은 갓과 대의 갈변과 부패 지수였다. 특히, 버섯 대의 아랫부분의 갈변과 그에 연관된 표피색 a*값과 b*값의 변화가 품질 저하의 주요인이었다.

본 연구는 미얀마에서 생산된 상추, 아스파라거스, 오이, 오크라, 토마토의 선도유지기간 향상을 위한 저온저장 및 유통 체계 구축의 필요성을 제사하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 상온, 10oC, 4oC에서 8주 동안 저장하면서 각각 채소들의 품질변화를 조사하였고 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 미얀마에서 채소 품목을 상온 유통 할 경우 수분감소 및 부패 발생으로 유통기간이 매우 짧아짐을 확인하였다. 2. 중량감소율을 모든 처리에서 저장기간이 길어질수록 증 가하는 경향이었고, 상추, 아스파라거스, 오크라의 중량감소율은 저온 저장(10oC 및 4oC) 2~3주 만에 약 50% 까지 증가하였다. 3. 10oC 저온저장을 통해 상추, 아스파라거스, 오이, 오크라, 토마토의 선도유지기간을 상온저장에 비해 각각 4주, 2주, 3주, 2주, 3주가량 향상시켰다. 4. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 10oC 이하의 온도조건에 저장했을 때 상온 저장에 비해 유통기간이 연장됨을 확인하였으나, 대부분의 채소 품목의 저장성은 온도조건 뿐만 아니라 상대습도를 포함한 다양한 외적 요인에 영향을 받기 때문에 품목에 따른 차이가 매우 컸다. 5. 따라서 향후 각 품목별 최적 저장 온도 설정 및 상대습도에 따른 저장기간 구명 등 저장성 향상 및 유통기간 연장을 위한 다양한 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

본 논문은 수산물에 사용되는 식용 코팅의 다양한 천연 성분에 대한 소재 및 특성에 대하여 조사하였으며, 화학적 항균 물질 및 항산화제와 물리적 살균 기술을 병합한 허들 기술(hurdle technology)에 대하여 서술하였다. 다양 한 원인으로 인한 식중독 사고가 빈번히 발생하고 있으며 주된 원인은 오염된 식품의 섭취와 관련이 있다. 특히, 식품 중에서도 수산물은 수분함량이 많고 미생물에 오염되기 쉽기 때문에 저장 기한이 짧다. 이에 대한 해결방안으 로 여러 가지 대안들이 적용되고 있는데, 가식성을 가지 고 독성이 없는 장점을 가진 식용 코팅이 주목을 받고 있다. 식용 코팅은 미생물의 성장을 억제하고 수분 손실을 지연시킴으로써 수산물의 품질을 유지할 수가 있다. 또한 항균 물질 및 항산화제를 첨가하거나 물리적인 살균 기술과도 병합할 수 있다. 하지만 식용 코팅과의 병합 처리 기술이 소수 보고되고 있어 다양한 허들 기술에 대한 연구가 필요하다.
