In South Korea, social, the number of single-person households has rapidly increased because of financial factors. Since single-person households have characteristics differentiated from general households, many enterprises pay attention to them that appear as important consumers. This study conducted a survey with consumers in their 20s to 50s in single-person households, nationwide who had an experience of purchasing HMR. The results of this study can be summarized as follows: First, of the benefits pursued in dietary life, the pursuit of nutrition a negative (-) impact on RTH type and did not have any impacts on the RTE and RTC types. The pursuit of taste had a positive (+) impact only on the RTE type while it did not have any impact on the RTH and RTC types. The pursuit of convenience had positive (+) impacts on all RTH, RTE and RTC types, while the pursuit of price sought did not have any impact on all types. Second, of the preferences by each HMR type, preferences for the RTH and RTC types had positive (+) impacts on purchase intention while preference for the RTE type did not have any impact on purchase intention. Third, of the benefits pursued in dietary life, the pursuits of taste and convenience had positive (+) impacts on purchase intention while the pursuits of nutrition and price did not have any significant impacts on purchase intention. In addition, of the benefits pursued in dietary life, the pursuit of convenience had a significant impact on purchase intention mediated by preference by each HMR type. As a result, taste of HMR and the aspects of convenience act as factors inducing purchases, and products in the various forms of taste and convenience in order to appeal consumers who pursue taste and convenience.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the intakes and perceptions of convenient breakfast related to age and family type. The survey included 545 men and women living in Seoul from June to July. Questionnaire items covered their age, gender, family types, breakfast intakes and preference for convenient breakfast menu. As a result, there were significant differences in the number of breakfast intakes per week according to family types; large families recorded the highest frequency in "I have breakfast everyday" and the couple-only families and nuclear families scored relatively high numbers. In terms of the type of breakfast, the first choice was "rice and side dishes" across all the age groups (69.3%). There were differences in the preference of convenient breakfast in "bread", "cereal", "rice cake", "sunsik", and "rice gruel" by different age. The teens exhibited the highest preference of bread (5.63), and cereal (5.53) for breakfast; those who were in their fifties for rice cake (5.42). Both forties and fifties showed the higher preference of sunsik (4.58, 4.76) and rice gruel (5.89, 5.77) than other age groups. As for the preference for convenient breakfast according to family types, single person families displayed the highest preference of bread (5.42) and cereal (5.75). Couple families showed higher preference of rice gruel (5.82) than other family groups. The preference level for "rice cake" was similar among all the family types. As a result, it is suggested that the development of various breakfast menus considering age groups and family types is needed so that modern people can enjoy breakfast in terms of quality and quantity in their busy daily life.

The Wald confidence interval has been considered as a standard method for the difference of proportions. However, the erratic behavior of the coverage probability of the Wald confidence interval is recognized in various literatures. Various alternatives have been proposed. Among them, Agresti-Caffo confidence interval has gained the reputation because of its simplicity and fairly good performance in terms of coverage probability. It is known however, that the Agresti-Caffo confidence interval is conservative. In this note, a confidence interval is developed using the weighted Polya posterior which was employed to obtain a confidence interval for the binomial proportion in Lee(2005). The resulting confidence interval is simple and effective in various respects such as the closeness of the average coverage probability to the nominal confidence level, the average expected length and the mean absolute error of the coverage probability. Practically it can be used for the interval estimation of the difference of proportions for any sample sizes and parameter values.

In order to calculate the Crop Water Stress Index (CWSI), it is necessary to collect weather data (air temperature, humidity, wind speed and solar radiation) and canopy temperature. However, it is not always available to have necessary data sets for CWSI calculation. Therefore, this study was aimed to develop an easy and simple CWSI equation (CWSI_EE) using only two data, air and canopy temperatures. Infrared sensors and weather sensors were installed on apple and peach trees and nearby a study area and every ten-minute data were collected from June to October in 2018 and 2019, respectively. A relationship between air-canopy temperature difference and CWSI was statistically analyzed and used to develop CWSI_EE using the three dimensional Gaussian model. The performance of CWSI_EE against original CWSI showed R² and NSE to 0.780 and 0.710 for apple trees and R² and NSE to 0.884 and 0.866 for peach trees. This study found that the level of crop water stress could be easily calculated using CWSI_EE with only air and canopy temperature data.

쌀의 영양적 가치는 쌀의 전분은 뇌의 활동을 돕고 비만과 당뇨병을 예방하는데 효과적이다. 쌀은 비록 단백질 함량과 필수 아미노산 함량은 낮지만 그 질만큼은 모든 곡류중에서 가장 우수한 단백질 자원을 갖고 있어 콜레스테롤 저하와 혈압조절, 암예방 등에 효과가 있다. 이밖에도 쌀에는 엽산을 포함한 비타민 B군은 물론 비타민 E, 마그네슘 등이 풍부하다. 비타민 E 등은 강력한 항산화작용를 하기 때문에 노화 방지에 효과가 있다. 이와 같은 영양적 가치에도 불구하고 1990년대에 들어서면서 식생활의 서구화, 고급화 물결로 인해 국민 1인당 쌀 소비량은 감소추이를 나타내고 수입에 의존하는 밀가루 소비량은 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 쌀 생산량의 95% 이상이 밥으로 소비되고 있고 그밖에 여러 가지 가공방법에 따라 주식이외의 가공식품이 개발, 이용되고 있으나 그 비율은 아직 미미한 실정이므로 쌀의 소비를 보다 적극적으로 촉진하기 위해서는 쌀을 하나의 가공 이용 원료로서 인식하는 발상의 전환이 요구된다. 이에 따라 쌀의 지속적인 수요창출과 간편성을 고려하여 밥 대신 간편하게 식사대용으로 많이 이용되고 있는 국수류에 이용하고자 하였다. 증숙면은 압출식 증숙면 제조시설만 있으면 연속 공정이 가능하고 생산된 면을 포장하면 곧바로 상품의 되며 소비자가 식용할 때 제품의 식감이 우수하다는 장점이 있다. 밀가루에는 글루텐이 12%정도 함유되어 있어 반죽이 만들어지고 이를 이용하여 제면이 가능하나 쌀만으로는 면을 만들기 어렵기 때문에 일반적으로 쌀가루에 밀가루를 혼합하여 건면을 제조한다. 증숙면식 쌀 국수를 만들기 위해서는 쌀가루와 밀가루의 혼합후 물성개량제의 첨가가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 식품첨가물로 사용되는 성분중에 글루텐, 곤약, 유화유지를 적절히 배합 사용하여 증숙식 쌀국수를 만들고, 유통후 소비자에 의해 식용될 때에 적절한 물성을 유지할 수 있도록 하여, 최적의 상품성을 지닌 쌀 국수를 제조하고자 하였다. 먼저 예비실험을 통해 쌀가루와 밀가루의 혼합비는 70:30이 가장 우수하였다. 여기에 물성개량제로 글루텐(l％,2％,3％), 곤약(0.5%,1%,2%), 유화유지(1%,2%,3%) 비율을 각각 달리하여 쌀가루에 첨가하여 증숙면식 쌀 국수를 제조한 후 관능적인 특성과 기계적 특성을 비교, 검토하였다. 글루텐은 외관은 좋지 않으나 텍스쳐 면에서 가장 좋게 평가되었고, 곤약은 관능적 특성과 기계적 특성에서 좋게 평가되었고, 유화유지는 텍스쳐 보다는 면의 광택효과와 노화방지에서 좋게 평가되었다.

The TCMI(Three-Compartment Model for iodine) computer code has been developed, which is based on the three-compartment model and the respiratory model recommended in ICRP publication 54. This code is able to evaluate the thyroid burden, dose equivalent, committed dose equivalent and urinary excretion rate as time-dependent functions from the input data: working time and the radioiodine concentration in air. Using the TCMI code, the time-dependent thyroid burdens, the thyroid doses and the urinary excretion rates were calculated for three specific exposure patterns : acute, chronic and periodic. Applicability as an internal dose evaluation method has been assessed by comparing the results with some operational experiences. Simple equations and tables are provided to be used in the evaluation of the thyroid burden and the resulting doses for given I-131 concentration in air and the working time.

The input parameters for numerical simulation of the liquefaction phenomenon need to be properly evaluated from laboratory and field tests, which are difficult to be performed in practical situations. In this study, the numerical simulation of the cyclic direct simple shear test was performed to analyze the applicability of Finn and PM4Sand models among the constitutive models for liquefaction simulation. The analysis results showed that the Finn model properly predicted the time when the excess pore water pressure reached the maximum, but failed to simulate the pore pressure response and the stress-strain behavior of post-liquefaction. On the other hand, the PM4Sand model properly simulated those behaviors of the post liquefaction. Finally, the evaluation procedure and the equations of the input parameters in the PM4Sand model were developed to mach the liquefaction cyclic resistance ratio corresponding to design conditions.

The purpose of this study was to estimate the influence of the determinants for home meal replacement (HMR) purchase frequency before and after COVID-19. Multinomial logistic regression was applied to the 2018~2020 Consumer Behavior Survey for Food data from the Korea Rural Economic Institute (KREI). Gender, age, number of households, monthly income, use of eating out, delivery and takeout order service, HMR food safety concern, the frequency of cooking at home, grocery shopping, and eating alone were applied as the explanatory variables to explain HMR purchase frequency. The results are as below. Compared to the previous year, the growth rate of HMR purchase frequency in 2020 was relatively high, indicating that the COVID-19 outbreak acted as a catalyst. Unlike in 2018 and 2019, there was no statistical difference in the HMR purchase frequency between single- and multi-person households in 2020, with indicating multi-person households began to emerge as one of the major HMR consumption groups. Unlike 2018, the 2020 HMR purchase frequency showed a statistically positive relationship with those of grocery shopping and eating alone. There was a positive relationship between the frequency of eating out/food delivery orders and HMR purchases. The more often cooking at home occurred, the less HMR food was purchased.
