Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether intestinal proliferation is promoted in beneficial intestinal bacteria or decreased in harmful bacteria before and after ingesting Bacillus fermentation broth (ENM) for 8 weeks in the 16 subjects. Method: Intestinal bacteria were identified by PCR amplification using specific 16S rRNA primers. Results: The Bifidobacterium gene index(%)(gi%) increased to 58.92% in the control group and 69.53% in the test group after the ingestion of ENM, but there was no significant difference. Lactobacillus gi% increased significantly (49.37% in the control and 66.43% in the test) (p<.029). Clostridium gi% was significantly decreased after treatment (83.16% in the control and 67.76% in the test) (p<.077). Bacteroides gi% increased significantly (12.58% in the control and 20.87% in the test) after ingesting (p<.095). Prevotella gi% increased significantly (7.55% in the control and 17.28% in the test) after ingesting (p<.005). After ingesting, the median bacteria increased significantly in the control (20.06%) and the test (35.88%) (p<.001). Conclusions: After ingestion of the ENM, the number of beneficial bacteria increased and the number of harmful bacteria Clostridium tended to decrease. This suggests that ingestion of the Bacillus fermented beverage ENM has an effect on the proliferation of intestinal bacteria.

In this study, the community structures of the ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi in the roots of Abies koreana and Taxus cuspidata were investigated at different altitudes of Mt. Halla. We identified the collected ECM root tips based on morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analysis through sequencing of the rDNA ITS regions. From the roots of A. koreana and T. cuspidata, 11 species and 12 species were identified, respectively. The Shannon's index and species evenness and abundance of the ECM fungi were higher in the higher than lower regions, regardless of host plant species, however, the number of ECM root tips showed the opposite pattern. The community similarity among the ECM fungi in A. koreana was significantly higher than that among the ECM fungi in T. cuspidata or than that between A. koreana and T. cuspidata (p < 0.05). These results could be useful for the conservation and management of the habitat of A. koreana, which is threatened with extinction due to increasing ambient air temperature.

The physical properties of instant puffed rice snacks with non-glutinous, glutinous, and steamed non-glutinous rice were evaluated at different moisture content and puffing temperatures. Raw materials were tempered to 9%, 12%, 15%, and 18% moisture content and puffed at $200^{\circ}C$, $210^{\circ}C$ and $220^{\circ}C$. With the increase in moisture content and puffing temperature, puffed snacks were less bulky. As the moisture content decreased and puffing temperature increased, the whiteness (L) value of puffed snacks decreased, while the redness (a) and yellowness (b) values increased. WSI and WAI were higher with an increase in moisture content and puffing temperature. Instant puffed rice snacks made from non-glutinous, glutinous, and steamed non-glutinous rice showed differences in bulk density, WSI, and WAI, while no difference was found in color values. When the moisture content increased from 9% to 15%, the cells within the products became more uniform and smaller. The instant puffed rice snacks made from glutinous rice showed the smallest and most uniform cell structure.

In order to evaluate the soil microbiological characteristics of paddy fields in Korea, surface soils were sampled from 63 sites in different agroclimatic zones before submersion of the fields. The distribution of microorganisms and the microbial diversity indices were examined. Soil microbial populations were generally higher in southern area than in northern area. The colony forming units(cfus) of fluorescence Pseudomonas sp. showed the greatest regional differences, among the microbes investigated. On the topographical differences, the cfus of aerobic bacteria, fluorescence Pseudomonas sp. and Azotobacter sp. maintained high level in coastal plains; and on the sail textural difference, fungus was the highest in clay soil, but Bacillus sp., Azotobacter sp and denitrifiers were the highest in silty clay loam soil at 0.05 probability level based on the multiple range test. The numbers of ammonium oxidizers and Azotobacter sp. were increased with soil pH. Microbial diversity indices of paddy fields which calculated from the percentages of Bacillus sp. fluorescence Pseudomonas sp. Azotobacter sp. denitrifiers, ammonium oxidizers, nitrite oxidizers, actinomycetes and fungus to these total microbial numbers were between 0.109 and 0.661. On the soil textures, the microbial diversity indices of sandy, sandy loam, silty clay loam, clay loam and clay soil were 0.443, 0.427, 0.414, 0.405 and 0.362 respectively.

우리나라의 가뭄은 통계적으로 5~6년 주기로 발생해 왔으나 최근에는 가뭄의 발생 빈도가 점점 증가하고 주기 또한 짧아지는 경향을 보이고 있다. 가뭄의 패턴 또한 지속적이고 국지적으로 강하게 나타내는 경향이 있어 피해가 심각해지고 있다. 2017년도에는 모내기가 시작되어야 할 시기에 극심한 물 부족으로 이앙시기가 지연되고 밭작물이 마르는 피해를 겪었다. 국가가뭄정보센터의 2017년 가뭄예경보 자료에 따르면, 1~7월에는 안성, 서산, 홍성 지역을 중심으로, 7~9월에는 남해안지역을 중심으로, 10월~12월에는 울주, 경주, 밀양 지역을 중심으로 가뭄이 나타났음을 확인 할 수 있다. 가뭄 파악을 위한 방법 중 하나로 인공위성영상을 활용한 원격탐사 기법이 있으며, 국내에서는 관측주기가 짧고 관측폭이 넓은 Terra MODIS 영상을 활용하는 연구 사례를 다수 찾아볼 수 있다. 최근에는 드론에 NIR, 열화상, 초분광 카메라 등을 탑재하여 탐지범위가 국소적이지만 가뭄에 따른 작물의 상태를 보다 상세하게 파악하기 위한 연구가 시도되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 드론을 이용한 가뭄지역의 영상특성을 분석하는 기초자료를 구축하기 위하여 2017년 극심한 가뭄이 발생하였던 안성지역을 대상으로 Terra MODIS NDVI를 이용한 식생상태지수(VCI), 정규식생지수(SVI)를 분석하여 가뭄으로 추정되는 드론촬영 대상지역을 파악하였으며, 선정된 지역을 대상으로 R-G-NIR 카메라를 탑재한 드론 촬영을 실시하였다. 드론영상의 전처리를 통하여 고해상도 NDVI영상을 작성하고 지상의 작물 및 토지이용 상태에 따른 NDVI 분포특성과 Terra MODIS NDVI와의 차이점을 분석하였다.

The application of the reliability analysis is investigated as a probabilistic approach to the assessment of ship's structural strength and to the establishment of design format for longitudinal strength. Reliability analyses are carried out for 34 ships of tankers and bulk carriers built in HHI for some failure modes such as tensile yielding, compressive buckling and ultimate strength of hull girder. The safety assessment of each ship, the calculation of sensitivity factors and the derivation of target reliability index are performed. As results. the difference of reliability indices among ships is great for all modes. To provide more uniform levels of safety the establishment of new strength criteria using partial safety factors is performed. The partial safety factors for the design format are obtained according to the AFOSM method and the reliability-conditioned(RC) method. Finally, a design format using partial safety factors has been proposed. We could find out that new strength criteria can produce consistent reliability indices which are close to the target value.

This study aims to apply the mathematical method of fractional order derivatives to the controller that controls the system response. In general, the Laplace transform of the PID controller has an exponent of the integer order of s. The derivative of the fractional order has a fractional exponent of s when it is transformed by Laplace transform. Therefore, this controller proposes a design method with the result of discrete time conversion. Because controllers with fractional exponents of s are not easy to design. This controller is applied to a standard secondary system and its performance is examined. Then, it applies to solenoid valve which is widely used in industrial field. A Luenberger's observer was designed to estimate the disturbance state and the observed state was applied to the fractional order controller. As a result, uniform and precise control performance was obtained. It was confirmed that the position error of the steady state is within 0.1 [%] and the rising time is within about 0.03 [s].

In this study, we investigated the spore diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in rhizospheres of a post-mining area and a natural forest area in Jecheon, Korea. The rhizospheres of the post-mining areas were dominated by Acaulospora mellea, while those of the natural forest area were dominated by Ambispora leptoticha. The number of AMF spores in rhizospheres of the post-mining area was significantly higher than that in the rhizospheres of the natural forest area. Although the diversity index of each area showed no significant difference, the community similarity of AMF within the rhizospheres of natural forest area was significantly higher than that observed within those of post-mining area. These results showed that AM fungal communities in rhizospheres could change because of the degree of disturbance.

An extension of the weighted buddy system, called the extended-weighted buddy system, for dynamic memory allocation in an object-oriented computer is presented. The extended-weighted buddy system allows block sizes of $2^k,\;3*2^k,\;5*2^k,\;7*2^k$, whereas the original weighted buddy system allowed block sizes of $2^k\;and\;3*2^k$. This extension is achieved at only the cost of additional 3 bits per block for memory management unit. Simulation results are presented which compare our method with the weighted buddy system. These results indicate that, for uniform request distributions, our system has less internal memory fragmentation than the weighted buddy system(approximately 60%). And, for exponential request distributions, it has less internal memory fragmentation than the weighted buddy method (approximately 50%). The external fragmentation is greater for this system than the weighted buddy system. But, our system has less total memory fragmentation for exponential request distributions, and two systems take a similar total memory fragmentation for uniform request distributions, so we can substitutes the extended-weighted buddy system for weighted buddy system.
