This paper proposes an improved six-color separation reducing the graininess in a middle tone region based on the standard deviation of the lightness and chrominance in S-CIELAB space. Graininess is regarded as visual perception for the fluctuation of the lightness of the light cyan and cyan or light magenta and magenta. In the conventional methods, the granularity is extremely heuristic and inaccurate due to the use of the visual examination score. Accordingly, this paper proposes a method to calculate the objective granularity for six color separation. First, we use the lightness, redness-greenness, and yellowness-blueness of the S-CIELAB space reflecting the spatial-color sensitivity of the human and normalize the sum of the three standard deviations. Finally, we apply the proposed granularity to the six color separation after assigning the granularity to the lookup table and obtain the result reducing the graininess in a middle tone region.

In this paper, we propose a new method dispersing spatially C(Cyan), M(Magenta), Y(Yellow) instead of K(black) in the bright region. The overlapping of black dots decreases brightness in the dark region, and black dots are very sensitive to human visual system in the bright region. Therefore, to avoid this problem, bright and dark gray region in the color image is considered in the proposed approach. A new method which uses CMY simultaneously in single mask is proposed, and CMY dots are used dispersing spatially for the bright region instead of black dot by this method. And tone curve connection is used to consider the gray level of dark region. In previous method, BNM (Blue Noise Mask) has high granularity and a narrow dynamic range. But the proposed method has the low granularity, wide dynamic range, and high contrast properties. Because the proposed method uses three times dots spatially in the different position than a conventional BNM, it can express more spatial information and a similar gray level compared with BNM.

저에너지의 Ar 이온빔으로 Cr 박막을 보조 증착하였으며, 이온빔 보조 증착 박막과 보통 박막의 광학적, 전기적 및 기계적 특성을 비교 분석하였다. 보통 박막에 비해 이온빔 보조증착 Cr 박막의 광학 상수와 반사율은 증가하고 전기비저항은 감소하여 bulk에 가까운 특성을 나타내었으며, 인장 응력은 감소하여 낟알 크기는 큰 차이가 없었다. 성장하는 Cr 박막에 대한 이온빔의 충격과 기판의 이온빔 세척은 박막의 조밀도를 증가시키는 경향으로 박막의 내부 구조에 변화를 주어 Cr 박막의 광학적 및 전기적 특성을 개선시키는 것으로 판단된다.

Eight rice cultivars grown in Korea were analyzed to investigate the quality of flour prepared using wet and dry grinding methods. The hardness of the kernel was related with starch damage following dry grinding but not following wet grinding. Although Chenmaai had the hardest steeped kernel, its flour exhibited minimal starch damage, a lower water absorption index (WAI), and a smaller difference between the RVA properties of wet and dry ground flour. However, Seolgan and Suweon517 are soft grains, and their flours had more starch damage and a higher WAI. In general, soft kernels produce better grinding characteristics. However, our wet grinding results indicated that grain hardness was not the main factor affecting the grinding characteristics. Even Chenmaai, with its hard kernels, had good grinding characteristics, whereas the softer kernels of Seolgan and Suweon517 did not show the appropriate grinding characteristics.

In order to find out better cultivation practices for environmentally-friendly agriculture, an experiment with four fertilizer levels and one cultivar, 'Boseokchal', and three lines, GG-05-03, GG-05-04, and GG-05-07 was carried out. Those lines had been selected from native green waxy rice over a period of five years (2004~2008). The tillering numbers of both the GG-05-03 and GG-05-04 lines were similar, but GG-05-07 was less than those. Regarding plant height, both GG-05-04 and GG-05-07 were higher than 'Boseokchal', while GG-05-03 was similar to it. There was no marked difference of quantitative character amond the three lines regarding grain weight and grain number of ear. 1000-grain weights of all three lines were slightly light compared to 'Boseokchal' cultivar. Head rice yields of both the GG-05-03 and GG-05-07 lines were less than 'Boseokchal', but the GG-05-04 line was similar to it. Only total lipids of all compositions of brown rice showed a slightly different rate compared to 'Boseokchal'. These results summarize that the GG-05-07 line was shown to be better than both the GG-05-03 and GG-05-04 lines for environmentally-friendly agriculture practices.

In order to reserve abundant germplasm for breeding new corn varieties, major characteristics of ears and kernels were evaluated with a total of 210 Korean indigenous maize lines collected from various parts of Pusan City and Kynugnam Province, Korea The average ear length and ear diameter of indigenous maize lines collected was 12.52cm and 3.33 cm, respectively. The average ear weight of the maize lines was 63.70g. The ears collected from the north-west mountainous region were the heaviest, and The ears from the south coastal region were the lightest. The average kernel weight per ear was 50.54g, and the kernel weight per ear by region showed a tendency similar to the ear weight. The kernels of maize lines collected in the north-west mountainous region were the longest, and kernel width and thickness were the largest in the west plain region. 100 kernel weight and embryo weight the largest in the lines collected in the north-west mountainous region. The degree of pericarp thickness was the smallest in the lines collected in the south coastal region, and largest in the lines collected in the west plain region. Except for the correlation coefficient width and 100 kernel weight, all correlation coefficients between the characteristics of the lines showed highly significant differences.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the physicochemical and pasting properties of long-term stored domestic and imported rice supplied for food processing from government-controlled public rice stocks. Goamibyeo, which was bred for processing and harvested in 2011, was selected as the control rice for comparison. Rice was dry-milled, and the amylose contents of stored rice were 12~13%. Stored rice kernels were significantly harder than those of control, whereas damaged starch content and water absorption of flour were not significantly different from those of control. Overall, long-term stored domestic and imported rice showed high peak viscosities along with high viscosities of both hot and cold pastes. Both imported and domestic rice demonstrated insufficient properties for making 100% flat rice noodles or bread. They showed the greatest shrinkage during cooling after baking. Although their levels of cooking loss were less than that of control, stored rice showed a less elastic and softer cooked noodle texture compared to control flour.

Rice consumption in Korea is continuously decreasing; therefore, methods for reducing rice stocks are now being proposed. Increasing the consumption of rice and reduce these stocks will require that the rice processing industry be developed beyond simply using cooked rice as food. The Korean people's eating habits have also diversified recently, and the consumption of bread is increasing. Therefore, breeding a cultivar for rice flour is now necessary. Here, a line suitable for processing into rice flour was cultivated by deriving a mutant line by tissue culture of Ilpum. Mutant populations were investigated for major agricultural traits in the field, and grain characteristics and endosperm characteristics were investigated after harvest. Among the lines, line 29111 had similar agricultural characteristics to the background Ilpum, and excellent grain quality, and was selected for further analysis. The physicochemical properties that determine taste were similar or improved. However, unlike Ilpum, 29111 had a non-uniform starch structure and a characteristic powdery endosperm because large and male starch grains are evenly distributed. Therefore, 29111 was viewed as a breeding line suitable for processing and for excellent agricultural characteristics and taste. The added value can be increased by diversifying the uses of rice. The taste was improved and a method for breeding cultivars with grain characteristics for glutinous rice that would satisfy both producers and consumers was presented.

To obtain basic information for characteristics of naked barley cultivars, awn length and weight, kernel weight along spikelet positions of some cultivars bred in Korea were investigated. Awn length and weight of third to fifth spikelet, and kernel weight of second to fourth spikelet from spike tip were not different from each mean value for total of spike. From the spike base, awn of third to fourth spikelet was longest and heaviest, and kernel weight of fifth to sixth spikelet was heaviest. Value for awn length, awn weight, and kernel weight of lateral row florets was lower 13 to 26％, 26 to 41％, and 18 to 25％, respectively than one for those of central row floret. Difference for awn length and weight between central and lateral row in nami type cultivars compared to uzu type cultivars was small. In the ratio of weight/length of awn, awn of uzu type cultivars was thicker than that of nami type cultivars, and awn of central row was thicker than those of lateral rows. Kernel weight was linearly related to awn weight. When one spike was divided into three parts, awn length and weight of low part were not different from those of central part, but were longer and heavier than those of upper part. The order of kernel weight was central$\geq$low>upper part.

Vanadium dioxide is a well-known metal-insulator phase transition material. Lots of researches of vanadium redox flow batteries have been researched as large scale energy storage system. In this study, vanadium oxide($VO_x$) thin films were applied to cathode for lithium ion battery. The $VO_x$ thin films were deposited on Si substrate($SiO_2$ layer of 300 nm thickness was formed on Si wafer via thermal oxidation process), quartz substrate by RF magnetron sputter system for 60 minutes at $500^{\circ}C$ with different RF powers. The surface morphology of as-deposited $VO_x$ thin films was characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy. The crystallographic property was confirmed by Raman spectroscopy. The optical properties were characterized by UV-visible spectrophotometer. The coin cell lithium-ion battery of CR2032 was fabricated with cathode material of $VO_x$ thin films on Cu foil. Electrochemical property of the coin cell was investigated by electrochemical analyzer. As the results, as increased of RF power, grain size of as-deposited $VO_x$ thin films was increased. As-deposited thin films exhibit $VO_2$ phase with RF power of 200 W above. The transmittance of as-deposited $VO_x$ films exhibits different values for different crystalline phase. The cyclic performance of $VO_x$ films exhibits higher values for large surface area and mixed crystalline phase.
