A series of experiments to analyse and to compare performance of various types of mini-sprinkler was carried out. Twelve kinds of the sprinkler, which have various sizes of nozzle orifice diameter and structures of spreader, were selected to be tested. Flow (water sprinkling) rate and sprinkling intensity pattern from a sprinkler were measured as a first part of this study, and the results are as follows. Sprinkler flow rate of various sizes of nozzle orifice and applied water pressures could be predicted by Torricelli's theorem. Discharge coefficients of the Torricelli's theorem for the sprinkler nozzle of various sizes were determined by the experiment as 0.90- 0.95, 0.80-0.82 and 0.76-0.79 for 0.8, 1.2 and 1.6 mm of nozzle orifice diameter, respectively. Experiments on sprinkling intensity pattern resulted that nozzle orifice diameter and applied water pressure are major variables for uniformity of the sprinkling intensity. More uniform sprinklering patterns were noted with smaller nozzle orifice diameter of a sprinkler and at lower sprinkling pressure. Besides the variables, structure of spreader of a sprinkler is also an important variable for the uniformity of sprinkling intensity.

This study presents the test results on the performance and the moisture retaining ability of semi rigid pavement using the moisture retaining grouting. The two kinds of the grouting materials were used for the Laboratory tests. The method of the tests includes the compression(3 hours and 7 days) and flexural strength(7 days) varying the P lot flow values. The test results show that the variation of the P lot value has no great effects on the strength, however, the different strength was found as the different grouting materials were used. The performance of the semi rigid pavement was evaluated varying the air void ration of the base asphalt pavement. The test results show that the flexural strength of the semi rigid pavement increases with increasing the air void of the base asphalt pavement so that the flexural strength of the semi rigid asphalt pavement can be effected by the air void of the base asphalt pavement. The moisture retaining tests were conducted and compared in the field the comparisons were made with the dense grade asphalt pavement and the semi rigid asphalt pavement with and without spraying the water. The difference of the temperature of the semi rigid pavement with the spraying water has recorded $11^{\circ}C$ when it compared with the dense grade asphalt pavement and $4^{\circ}C$, when it compared with the semi rigid pavement without the spraying the water. It can be seen that decrease the temperature of the pavement by the moisture retaining ability from the semi rigid pavement.

Shape of soybean sprouts affects their marketability. This study was carried out to understand the effects of pressure in both overspraying and underwatering cultivation methods on growth and morphological characteristics of soybean sprouts. Pressing treatments were done by continuous pressing by laying a plastic culture box over another with growing the sprouts, their alteration every day, or no pressing in overspraying method, and by continuous pressing, pressing after the 4th day cultivation with 30 kg steel case, or no pressing in underwatering method. The soybean (cv. Junjery) seeds were soaked in 2 ppm BA solution for 5 hours and then aerated for 3 hours immediately before 6 day culture. Lateral roots, hypocotyl and root lengths, hypocotyl diameters, fresh and dry weights were measured. Lateral roots per sprout were decreased with stronger pressing regardless of watering methods. In overspraying method, continuous pressing treatment resulted in shortest hypocotyl, but no and ones did the longest root. In underwatering method, however, no pressing one showed the longest hypocotyl but continuous pressing did the shortest hypocotyl. Regardless of watering methods, middle part of hypocotyl was more thickened with stronger pressing although hook diameters of the 3 treatments were not affected. In overspraying method. total fresh weight per sprout was the least in no pressing but the greatest in continuous pressing. In underwatering method, however, there was no significant difference between the treatments.

This study was conducted to determine the effect of different proportions of Alaska pollack surimi, chicken breast surimi and starch on textural properties of sausage. Sausage were manufactured such as Alaska pollack surimi(control), T1(90.91:0:9.09), T2(80:0:20), T3(62.5:37.5:0), T4(58.82:35.3:5.88), T5 (40:60:0) and T6(36.36:54.55:9.09) depending on different proportions of Alaska pollack surimi, chicken breast surimi and starch. Brittleness, breaking force and gel strength were significantly higher in T1 than the control(P<0.05), and breaking force, gel strength and folding test were significantly higher but sensory evaluation was significantly lower in T2 than the control(P<0.05). Breaking force, gel strength and jelly strength were significantly higher in T3 and T4 than the control(P<0.05). Gel characteristics and sensory scores were significantly higher but texture properties were significantly lower in T5 and T6 than the control(P<0.05). The T3 and T4 had similar textural and sensory properties in the surimi- sausage compared to the control. Therefore, the results of this study indicated that textural properties of sausage can be acceptable when chicken breast surimi replaced Alaska pollack up to 35%.

In recent years, the deterioration of fruit quality caused by poor coloration and sunburn disorder has become serious problems in apple market, which is a result of the increase of surface temperature due to the abnormal temperature increase during summer season. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of wind net shading and fine water spray using sprinkler on fruit coloration, sunburn damage and overall fruit quality of 'Fuji' and 'Hongro' apples. Fifteen sprinklers (7L/hr) were installed at the orchard of the Chungcheongnam-do Agricultural Research and Extension Services, located in Sinam-myeon Chungcheongnam-do Korea, at a height of 3m above the apple tree of $1.5m{\times}3.5m$ north-south direction. Fine water spraying treatment was divided into day time spray (10:00 am to 6:00 pm) and all day spray (10:00 am to 10:00 pm) from early July to 10 days before harvest in 2017 and 2018 season, respectively. Temperature of the surface of apple fruit, characteristic of fruit, and degree of sunburn damage were investigated. In 'Fuji', the fruit surface temperature checked at 2 pm on August 10 was decreased considerably in the day time spray ($35.6^{\circ}C$) and wind net ($39.0^{\circ}C$) when compared with the untreated control ($44.4^{\circ}C$). Similarly, the fruit surface temperature also decreased considerably in the all day spray ($35.1^{\circ}C$) and wind net ($36.9^{\circ}C$) treatments when compared with the untreated control ($46.5^{\circ}C$) in 'Hongro' apples. The incidence of sunburn disorder was significantly decreased with day time spray (5.0%), all day spray (5.8%) and wind net (7.0%) when compared with untreated control (23.4%) in 'Fuji' apples. As a results, the treatment of fine water spray and wind net consequently showed 26% and 34% increase of redness ($a^*$) value in the skin color difference, respectively, in 'Fuji' apples.

This study was conducted to determine the effect of pH adjustment and the addition of cryoprotectants on the quality characteristics of chicken breast surimi. We prepared surimi from Alaska pollack, as a the control, by two time washing times and the addition of cryoprotectants. Different preparations of surimi were manufactured by adjusting to pH 11.0 and the addition of different addition cryoprotectants during frozen storage (T1 : 5% sorbitol and 0.3% polyphosphate, T2: 4% sugar, 5% sorbitol and 0.3% polyphosphate, and T3: 2% salt, 4% sugar, 5% sorbitol and 0.3% polyphosphate). The moisture content was significantly lower in the control and T3 samples. The crude protein content was increased with storage times. The crude protein was higher in the control. The water-holding capacity, myofibrillar protein and shear force were significantly higher in T3 than other surimi samples. All gel characteristics were significantly higher in the control and T3 than other surimi samples. pH 11.0 adjusted chicken breast surimi had greater lightness than the control, and T3 samples had the highest lightness and whiteness. Sensory evaluations were significantly higher in the control and T3 than the other samples. The gel, and physical characteristics and sensory evaluation of T3 were similar to the control. T3 samples had superior color and pH than the control Alaska pollack surimi.

The demand for the development of rolling stock technology to maintain the best performance in various climatic environments has increased to expand the overseas market of rolling stock. In this study, international and domestic standards that must be applied to build a harsh climatic environment test system were investigated and compared. The way of improvement for domestic standards is proposed. The wind velocities and temperatures are specified in the UIC, EN, and IEC standards for climatic wind tunnel, and EN 50125-1 provides the velocity test up to 180km/h, the largest wind speed. UIC and EN provide the lowest temperature of -45℃, and IEC 62498-1 provides the highest temperature 55℃. The solar radiation test was specified up to 1200W/m2 in the UIC, EN, and IEC. The IEC, EN, and KS R 9145 provide the water tightness standards, which are different from each other in water capacity, pressure, and methods. The snow test method was not well specified. KRTS-VE-Part 31 provides pressurization test methods. The airtightness standards for high-speed rolling stock are defined and regulated for internal pressure change rate in UIC 660 and 779-11. The domestic standard for the wind tunnel test was not well prepared, and the solar radiation test and snow test do not exist in Korea. Therefore, it is necessary to improve domestic standards to an international level for the climatic wind tunnel test of rolling stock.
