Taking 195 Korean businesses and sorting them out according to the unit types, this study looks into how flexibility strategy in labor market, which consists of numerical flexibility and functional flexibility, takes effect on the organization's outcome variable, which in turn consists of productivity, labor-management cooperation, and job security. In addition, the present study analyzes the role of labor union's moderating effect on the relationship among labor market flexibility, labor-management cooperation, and job security. It is found out as a result that numerical flexibility has no meaningful relation with productivity, labor-management cooperation, and job security, while functional flexibility has a considerably positive relation with them. This result confirms the importance of functional flexibility of business strategy in labor market. The West has continuously insisted the importance of functional flexibility, pointing out problems of numerical flexibility. On the other hand, considering that this study has confirmed functional flexibility's meaningful relation, while it has not found out numerical flexibility's negative relation, it is necessary to study further on the relationship between these two kinds of flexibility. The result of analysis on the role of union power's moderating effect confirms only the union power's interaction effect in the relation between numerical flexibility and labor-management cooperation. The possibility of union's opportunistic behavior can be detected in this result.

낸드 플래시 메모리를 이용한 SSD(Solid-State Disk)는 빠른 속도와 저전력, 휴대성, 내구성 등의 특성을 가져 전통적인 저장 장치인 하드 디스크(HDD:Hard Disk Drive)를 대체할 차세대 저장 장치로 주목받고 있다. 그러나 저장 장치 성능 측정 도구는 기존의 하드 디스크의 특성을 기반으로 한 것들이 대부분으로 이를 통해 SSD의 성능을 측정하기엔 적합하지 않다. 특히 SSD는 하드 디스크에 비해 단위 공간 당비용이 수십 배 가량 높아 저장 공간의 효율적인 관리를 위해 컨트롤러(Controller)가 데이터 압축 기법을 사용하기도 하는데 이 압축 기법을 사용하는 컨트롤러에 따라 SSD는 다른 성능을 보인다. 또, 여러 가지 명령들이 한꺼번에 존재할 때 컨트롤러에 따라 이를 적절히 효율적으로 처리해주는 기능을 가지고 있는데 이 역시 SSD의 성능에 차이를 가져온다. 그러나 기존 저장 장치 성능 측정 도구는 압축 기법 유무를 판별할 수 있으면서 여러 명령들이 한꺼번에 존재할 때 SSD 성능의 차이를 파악할 수 있는 통합된 성능 측정 도구는 없다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 패턴에 따라 SSD의 특성을 측정할 수 있는 도구인 uFlip 성능 측정 도구를 기반으로, 압축 기법의 사용 유무를 판별할 수 있는 기능과 명령 큐 깊이(Command Queue Depth)에 따라 성능의 차이를 판별할 수 있는 기능을 추가하였고, uFlip 기반 수정된 성능 측정 도구로 몇 가지 상용 SSD의 성능을 평가하여 비교함으로써 추가된 기능들의 유무에 따라 SSD별로 다른 성능을 보이는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

The findings of this study confirmed the alteration of β-glucosidase activity, nutritional constituents, isoflavones, antioxidant activities, and digestive enzyme inhibition activities in soybeans during solid-state fermentation times with mycelia of Tricholoma matsutake. After nine days, the highest activity level was observed for β-glucosidase (3.90 to 38.89 unit/g) and aglycones (163.03 to 1,074.28 ㎍/g). The sum of isoflavones showed a significant decrease (3,489.41 to 1,325.66 ㎍/g) along with glycosides (2,753.87 to 212.43 ㎍/g) for fermentation, while fatty acids showed a slight increase and amino acids showed a marked increase. Total phenolic and flavonoid contents showed a corresponding increase according to fermentation times (5.58 to 15.09 GAE mg/g; 0.36 to 1.58 RE mg/g). Antioxidant and enzyme inhibition activities also increased; in particular, the highest level of scavenging activities was observed for ABTS (up 60.13 to 82.08%), followed by DPPH (up 63.92% to 71.98%) and hydroxyl (up 36.01 to 52.02%) radicals. Of particular interest, α-glucosidase (6.69 to 83.49%) and pancreatic lipase inhibition (1.22 to 77.43%) showed a marked increase. These results demonstrated that fermentation of soybeans with the mycelia of T. matsutake enhanced the nutritional and functional constituents, and the biological activities of soybeans. Thus, this fermentation technology can be used to produce a novel functional materials from soybeans.

The purpose of this study was to investigated the effects of Laminaria japonica fucoidan extract (LJFE) through the enzymatic regulation against the hepatotoxicity-inducing carbon tetrachloride $(CCl_4)$ in LJFE and $CCl_4-treated$ rats. LJFE of 100mg/kg concentration was intraperitoneally administered into rats at dose of 1.5m11kg for 14 days. On the day 15, 3.3ml/kg of $CCl_4$ dissolved in olive oil (1:1) was injected 12 hours before anesthetization. We examined the levels of glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT), glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT) in serum of rats, superoxide dismutase(SOD) in mitochondrial fraction, and catalase(CAT), glutathione peroxidase(GPx) in liver homogenate. $CCl_4-treatment$ markedly increased the levels of GOT and GPT, and significantly decreased those of SOD, CAT and GPx. But LIFE pretreatment decreased the levels of GOT and GPT, by 40% and 64%, respectively and increased those of SOD, CAT and GPx, by 114%, 36.1% and 55.9%, respectively These results showed the LIFE had the enzymatic regulatory effects against the hepatotoxicity-inducing $CCl_4$ in the preventive way.

Kombucha (K) is a fermented beverage made from black tea by symbiotic micro-organisms of bacteria and yeasts. To enhance bio-activities of K, we produced citrus/green tea Kombucha (CK) by adding extracts of citrus peel and green tea obtained from Jeju Island. ORAC assays showed that anti-oxidative capacity of CK increased by approximately 3-folds compared to K. We examined anti-cancer properties of extracts from citrus peel and/or green tea using 5637 human bladder cancer cells and B16F10 murine melanoma cells. Proliferation of B16F10 cells was markedly inhibited at concentrations higher than $10{\mu}L/mL$. At a concentration of $20{\mu}L/mL$, anti-cancer activities of extracts were in the order of citrus peel< green tea< combination of both. Interestingly, a combination of both extracts showed a synergistic effect on inhibition of growth of cancer cells. CK fermented with citrus peel and green tea extracts showed enhanced anti-cancer activity compared to K. Cytotoxicity of CK on RAW 264.7 murine macrophages was negligible up to $100{\mu}L/mL$. Taken together, these results indicate that citrus Kombucha is safe to be developed as a functional beverage.

The goal of this study was to screen a useful yeast for Korean traditional pear Yakju (KTPY) brewing and develop its brewing process. Cooked non-glutinous rice and nuruk were mixed, and added into pear juice with various Saccharomyces cerevisiae and then fermented at $25^{\circ}C$ for 7 days. Among several alcohol fermentation yeasts, ethanol contents was the highest in pear Yakju made by S. cerevisiae K-7 and also showed high ethanol content in pear Yakju which was made by commercial S. cerevisiae C-2. Therefore, we selected S. cerevisiae K-7 and S. cerevisiae C-2 as suitable yeasts for brewing of KTPY. Maximal ethanol production (10.4%) was obtained when cooked non-glutinous rice (100 g) and nuruk (30 sp/g) were mixed and added into pear juice (600 ml) with S. cerevisiae K-7 (5%) and fermented at $25^{\circ}C$ for 7 days and also its antihypertensive angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity was 57.2%. Addition of antihypertensive starchy materials into the mash was not affected in ACE inhibitory activity and total acceptability of KTPY.

Functional properties of packaging films prepared with cellulose derivatives were measured. As a presolvation treatments of celluloses, 95% ethanol solution for methylcellulose (MC), hydroxypropyl-methylcellulose (HPMC) and ethylcellulose (EC) and water for hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) were used. For film sheeting, the ethanol concentration of final cellulose solution should exceed 50% for MC, HPMC and HPC and 80% for EC. Thickness and functionalities of the prepared films were varied by type, molecular weight and viscosity of the cellulose and kind of plasticizer used. Tensile strength of MC, HPMC and HPC films were $67.7{\sim}275.4\;MPa$, $124.6{\sim}260.0\;MPa$, and $14.8{\sim}29.4\;MPa$, respectively. The strength of MC and HPMC films was higher than that of low density polyethylene (LDPE) films $(13.1{\sim}27.6\;MPa)$. Solubility of the cellulose films varied widely by plasticizer used and the films containing polyethyleneglycol (PEG) as a plasticizer was more soluble than the films by glycerol. Maximum water vapor permeability and oxygen permeability of the cellulose films was more than 1,000 folds and less than one-twelfth of the LDPE film, respectively.

A recently developed Chinese cabbage cultivar, Shinhong Ssam, was cultured under different light conditions at a plant factory to evaluate effects of light on the production of functional compounds. The effects of the following combinations of red (R), blue (B), and white (W) LED light were compared to that of fluorescent light: R+B, R+W, and R+B+W. Under R+B light, the Chinese cabbage failed to grow well. In contrast, under R+W, R+B+W, and fluorescent light conditions, cabbages had similar growth rates. Cyanidin, the only anthocyanidin detected, accumulated in cabbages under LED conditions to levels more than 2-fold of that in cabbages grown under fluorescent light. Phenolic acid and flavonol levels varied subtly, whereas caffeic acid was found to be between 70- and 160-fold greater in LED-illuminated cabbages than in those exposed to fluorescent light. The amounts of free amino acids and sugars that affect the taste of vegetables were greater in the cabbages exposed to LED light than in those grown under fluorescent light conditions. In conclusion, R+W LED light produced Shinhong Ssam with greater nutritional value than those grown under R+B+W LED and fluorescent lights.

102 ESTs (Expressed Sequence Tags) were obtained by sequencing clones from a library of rainbow trout kidney cDNAs. Of the sequences generated, 55.8% of the ESTs were represented by 37 known genes. The 45 clones of unknown gene products potentially represent 40 novel genes. The genes involved in structural function (14.5%) and transcription/translation (11.6%) account for the major gene expression activities in the kidney Microarray experiment was conducted to compare gene expression of the unique ESTs in young and adult rainbow trout kidneys. While mitochondrion, cytochrome b, rho G, spastin protein, and three unknown genes were down-regulated in the mature fish kidney, calponin 1, calcium binding protein, histone deacetylase 1, and an unknown gene were up-regulated in the mature fish kidney. This research demonstrates the feasibility and power of functional genomics in rainbow trout.

The alkali extraction of anticoagulant from a clove revealed 3-to 6-fold more effective than hot-water extraction. The highest anticoagulant activity was found with 0.1 N NaOH at 7$0^{\circ}C$. The anticoagulant fractions from a clove, EC-2B and EC-2C were separated by alkali extraction, ethanol precipitation, cetavlon treatment, and ultrafiltration. The anticoagulant activities of these two fractions were, respectively, 6.57 and 8.63 times higher than those extracted with hot-water. As of the sensory evaluation, boiled pork added with EC-2B fraction revealed similar sensory acceptability to raw clove material, while EC-2C fraction had low sensory acceptability due to a mild chemical odor. Antibacterial characteristics against pathogenic microorganism of both fractions were confirmed in the control strain. The inhibitory effect of growth by EC-2B was noticed above 0.016% in S. aureus. Also, EC-2C showed the inhibitory effect at 0.004% in both E. cole and S. aureus control strains.
