This study was performed to examine the drying characteristics of apples at various drying conditions. Air velocity has no effect on the drying rate except the constant rate period. In this experiment the diffusion coefficients of moisture in the apple tissue were in the range of $1.1470-2.2148{\times}10cm^2/sec$. As a result of balance of heat and mass transfer during the falling rate period. an empirical equation based on Fick's law was obtained as follows; $log{\Delta}t\;=\;log\;t_o\;-\;D{\frac{{\pi}^2{\theta}}{4d.}}$ This equation can be used to calculate the temperature of apples during the falling rate period, provided the diffusion coefficients of apple are known. The experimental values of the internal moisture distribution during apple dehydration were nearly in accord with the theoretical values.

The transfer mechanism of optical information at the interface of air and glass (the air-glass IF) has been investigated by thoroughly fulfilling the theoretical and experimental analyses regarding the FTIR (Frustrated Total Internal Reflection) and moisture effects on the fingerprint onto a glass cup with water. As for the fingerprint onto a glass cup with water its image was observed to be very vivid, which turned out to be due to the difference between the two light intensities reflected on the air-glass IF and the wet fingerprint ridge by manipulating the optical theories such as Fresnel relation, Snell's law, FTIR, GT (general transmission) and so on. In addition, the experimental inspection for FTIR and moisture effects on the fingerprint image also evidenced the fact that the vivid fingerprint image originated from the moisture effect rather than the FTIR phenomenon.

This study investigated the effects of using a pollen suspension for artificial pollination on the labor costs, fruit set, and fruit quality attributes of 'Fuji' apples. The pollen germination rate was 20% in a 20% fructose solution after 6 hours, and the pollen remained stable for 6 hours in the same solution. The king fruit per flower cluster exhibited a normal fruit set, regardless of the treatment. Plus, none of the artificial pollination applications affected the fruit length/diameter ratio, flesh firmness, soluble solids concentration, or titratable acidity in the harvested 'Fuji' apple fruits. However, the labor savings were significantly higher with the pollen suspension treatment when compared with the cotton swab or love-touch. Therefore, the labor cost was four-fold less in use of pollen suspension than in use of cotton swab for artificial pollination.

The soil moisture measurements and correlation analysis are presented to improve understanding the hydrological process at the hillslope scale. The rainfall events is a main driver of soil moisture variation, and its stochastic characteristic need to be properly treated prior to the correlation analysis between soil moisture measurements. Using field measurements for two designated periods during the late summer and autumn seasons in 2007 obtained from the Bumrunsa hillslope located at the Sulmachun watershed, prewhitened correlation analysis were performed for 8, 14, 7 and 7 relationships representing the vertical, lateral, recharge and return flows, for two designated periods, respectively. The analysis indicated both temporal and spatial variation patterns of hydrological processes, which can be explained by the relative contribution of matrix and macropore flows and the impact of transect topography, respectively.

Gamma irradiation was applied to soybean(Glycine max.), Hwangkeum, at dose levels of 0, 5, 10 and 20 kGy to improve the physical properties of soybeans. The time to reach a fixed moisture content was reduced depending on the increment of soaking temperatures and applied irradiation dose levels. Irradiation at 5~20 kGy resulted in reduction in soaking time of the soybeans by about 3~6 hrs at soaking temperature of $20^{\circ}C.$ The degree of cooking of soybeans in boiling water was determined by measuring the maximum cutting force of cotyledon. The cutting force to reach complete cooking was about 145g/g. Irradiation at 5~20 kGy resulted in a reduction of cooking time of soybeans by 55~75% as compared to the nonirradiated soybean. In electron microscopic observation of seed coat inner, the parenchyma of nonirradiated soybean showed tight fibrillar structure, whereas that of irradiated soybeans showed loosened and deformed structure. The microstructure of compressed cells and cotyledon epidermis was also deformed by gamma irradiation. In subcellular structure of cotyledon, the roundness of protein body was deformed and changed to spike shape at 20 kGy. Also, the size of lipid body decreased as the irradiation dose levels increased.

As research on a controlled environment system based on crop growth environment sensing for sustainable production of horticultural crops and its industrial use has been important, research on how to properly utilize soil moisture sensors for outdoor cultivation is being actively conducted. This experiment was conducted to suggest the proper method of utilizing the TEROS 12, an FDR (frequency domain reflectometry) sensor, which is frequently used in industry and research fields, for each orchard soil in three regions in Korea. We collected soils from each orchard where fruit trees were grown, investigated the soil characteristics and soil water retention curve, and compared TEROS 12 sensor calibration equations to correlate the sensor output to the corresponding soil volumetric water content through linear and cubic regressions for each soil sample. The estimated value from the calibration equation provided by the manufacturer was also compared. The soil collected from all three orchards showed different soil characteristics and volumetric water content values by each soil water retention level across the soil samples. In addition, the cubic calibration equation for TEROS 12 sensor showed the highest coefficient of determination higher than 0.95, and the lowest RMSE for all soil samples. When estimating volumetric water contents from TEROS 12 sensor output using the calibration equation provided by the manufacturer, their calculated volumetric water contents were lower than the actual volumetric water contents, with the difference up to 0.09-0.17 m³·m^-3 depending on the soil samples, indicating an appropriate calibration for each soil should be preceded before FDR sensor utilization. Also, there was a difference in the range of soil volumetric water content corresponding to the soil water retention levels across the soil samples, suggesting that the soil water retention information should be required to properly interpret the volumetric water content value of the soil. Moreover, soil with a high content of sand had a relatively narrow range of volumetric water contents for irrigation, thus reducing the accuracy of an FDR sensor measurement. In conclusion, analyzing soil water retention characteristics of the target soil and the soil-specific calibration would be necessary to properly quantify the soil water status and determine their adequate irrigation point using an FDR sensor.

1.0 dtex이하의 섬도를 갖는 극세사 섬유는 수분율이 높아 촉감이 부드러우며 드레이프성이 우수하고 실크같은 광택효과를 갖고 있다. 그러나 극세사는 저온에서도 염착이 일어나며 넓은 표면적으로 인하여 염착속도가 빨라 불균염이 일어나기 쉽다. 또한 섬유의 직경이 작아 표면적이 넓기 때문에, 동일한 색상을 얻기 위해서는 다른 섬유로 된 직물에 비해 과량의 염료가 필요하게 되고 이로 인하여 낮은 견뢰도를 나타내며 오염물질이 고농도인 염색폐수를 방출하게 된다.(중략)

1960년대 산업화와 도시화 이전 우리나라 하천은 모래, 자갈 사주가 경관생태의 대부분을 이룬 이른바 'White River'이었으나, '70년대 이후 댐건설, 하천정비 등으로 유황과 유사이송 특성이 변하면서 수변에 식생이 번무하는 이른바 'Green River'가 진행 중이다. 하천에서 식생활착은 생태 측면에서 생물 종의 다양성에 일부 긍정적인 역할을 하는 반면에, 고유종이 감소, 소멸하는 문제가 생긴다. 치수 측면에서는 흐름저항 증가와 하도의 고착화를 촉진시켜 치수 안정성에 문제를 야기할 수 있다. 본 연구는 사주 상 식생활착 현상을 정량적으로 규명하기 위한 연구의 시작으로서, 하천 식생사주역에서 식생활착에 직접적인 영향을 주는 소류력과 토양 수분 등 2대 물리 요소 중에서 후자에 초점을 맞추어 토양수분 요인과 식생 이입, 활착, 천이와의 관계를 규명한다. 이를 위해 모래하천인 낙동강 제1지류 내성천의 국가하천 구간 하류 지점인 회룡포 직상류 약 4km 지점을 시험하천 구간으로 선정하여 하천수위, 지하수위, 토양수분을 연속적으로 측정할 수 있는 시설을 설치하였다. 이러한 관측 시설을 가지고 1차적으로 2010년 8월부터 2011년 4월 초까지 지하수위와 하천수위, 토양수분을 연속적으로 모니터링하고 상호 관계를 분석하였다. 사주 상 식생 활착 특성도 주기적으로 조사하였다. 이번 일차 기초 조사 및 분석 결과, 하안에서 약 140-240m에 위치한 지하수위 관측정에서 측정된 지하수위는 하천수위 변화에 비해 시간적으로 약 20시간 지체되는 것으로 나타났다. 한편 사주 토양수분은 일반적으로 지하 깊이에 따라 커지나, 동시에 토층구조(soil texture)에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다.

This study investigated the effect of functional MA films (FMA) masterbatched by zeolite powder treated with 1 N HCl solution and anti-fogging agent (CA) on the freshness extension of 'Fuji' Apples. Preference, weight loss, total ascorbic acid, sugar content, acidity, change of gas composition in package were evaluated during storage at $15^{\circ}C$. After 150 days of storage, the weight loss of LLDPE film (control, L) apples was 0.4%, and that of apple in FMA film (CA) was 1.1%. Total ascorbic acid content of apples in control after 150 days was 2.09 mg%, and those of apple in FMA film was 2.94 mg%. The titratable acidity of apple in FMA film was higher than that in control, while soluble solids content of packages was lower than that in control after 150 days. Ethylene gas adsorbability in control package was 192.2 ppm and those in FMA film was 165.6 ppm. Overall, apples in FMA film was better than that of control. It was verified that apples packed with LLDPE film(control) lasted about 130 days, while those with FMA film lasted about 170 days. Also, FMA film treated with anti-fogging agent achieved no significant effect on freshness extension compared to non-treated film, but quality of 'Fuji' Apples was improved by anti-fogging agent when compared to that of non-treated anti-fogging agent.
