Cherry tomatoes, cucumbers and zuchinis stored in the far-infrared radiated chamber at 5$^{\circ}C$ or 10$^{\circ}C$ under 90% of relative humidity had been maintained in the fresh state for longer times than the control stored only in the cold chamber. Vegetables stored in the far-infrared radiated chamber showed lower values in weight loss rate, microbial colony count and decay ratio and higher ascorbic acid content than the control stored cold in the cold room through the storage period. We confirmed that vegetables stored in the far-infrared radiated chamber under low temperature and high humidity showed least changes in quality properties through the storage period and the far-infrared radiated facilities could be a good storage system.

Moisture damage of asphalt pavements can usually occur because of the loss of adhesion and cohesion between the asphalt binder and aggregate in the asphalt mixture due to presence of water. And this is one of the causes that is effect on the main distress of asphalt pavement. The objective of this study is to find out moisture damage characteristics of asphalt pavement. Effects of this study changes of the material properties and resistance characteristics of moisture damage on the asphalt mixtures under various temperatures and repeated immersion using indirect tensile test and modify Lottman test were evaluated during this study. The asphalt mixtures were produced using straight asphalt binder, SBS modified asphalt binder and aggregates. The material properties (resilient modulus, indirect tensile strength, failure energy and $DCSE_f$) of the asphalt mixtures were generally decreased with increasing to moisture damage caused by the number of repeated immersion. The decrease ratios of material properties by repeated immersion on SBS modified asphalt mixtures were lower than those of straight asphalt mixtures at all three test temperatures. As a conclusion, current criterion for evaluation moisture damage of asphalt mixtures is difficult for using distinction standard because of the limited evaluation criterion with one time immersion and single material property. Based on this research, to evaluate long term moisture damage on asphalt mixtures, material property tests of various kinds with repeated immersion test are considered.

The environmental stress that plants are most susceptible to is water stress. Abscisic acid (ABA) is a plant hormone synthesized by plants to counteract environmental stress. The role of stomata in plants is to allow the synthesis of sucrose by absorbing CO₂, which greatly affects photosynthetic activity. In addition, stomata are pathways for transpiration, which releases H₂O and help establish a water potential gradient that allows plant roots to continuously absorb water and inorganic substances from the soil. Plants have a mechanism to minimize water loss by closing their stomata when exposed to water-stressed environments. The most well-studied hypothesis concerning the mechanism of stomatal closure is the response to water stress. When a plant receives sufficient water, its stomata open during the day and close at night due to its circadian rhythm. In addition, stomatal closure occurs when the concentration of CO₂ in the intercellular space increases. However, the mechanism of stomatal closure due to circadian rhythm and increased CO₂ concentration in the intercellular space is not well understood. When plants undergo water stress, the increased concentration of ABA in the guard cell cytoplasm induces an increase in Ca²⁺ concentration, resulting in cytoplasmic depolarization. As a result, the outward K⁺-channel of the tonoplast and the slow-type anion channels SLAC1 and SLAH3 are activated, releasing K⁺, Cl^-, and malate^2-, causing the stomata to close. Therefore, in this paper, the mechanism of stomatal closure caused by water stress was investigated.

A menu-driven shell program DSFS (Daily Streamflow Simulation Model), that can process the input data, optimize the parameters, execute the program, and graphically display the results of a modified tank model, was developed and applied to simulating daily streamflow from small watersheds. The model defines daily watershed evapotranspiration losses from potential values multiplied by monthly landuse coefficients and correction factors for soil water storage levels. The parameters were calibrated using observed hydrologic data for fifteen watersheds, and the results were correlated with watershed parameters to define empirical relationships. The proposed model was tested with streamflow data of ungaged conditions, and the simulation results overestimated the annual runoff.

중량 평균 분자량이 1.22$\times$106이고 다분산도가 8.90이며 수분과 아밀로오스 함량이 각각 9.35%, 27%인 도토리 전분에 sucrose를 첨가하여 동적 유변학적 특성에 대한 온도와 농도의존성을 고찰하였다. AS(acorn starch)-sucrose 계의 점도는 전단속도가 증가하면 감 소하는 전단담화 현상을 나타내며 sucrose 농도가 증가할수록 점도가 증가하였고, Casson 식에 의해 얻어진 항복치는 sucrose 농도가 증가하면 증가하였다. 저장영률과 손실영률은 sucrose 농도가 증가하면 단일하게 증가하였고 손실 탄성률은 온도가 증가하면 감소하였다. DSC 측정자료를 zipper model에 적용시켜 본 결과 sucrose 농도가 증가할수록 zipper의 수 와 junc-tion zone의 수는 증가했으며 크기는 감소하였다. Sucrose는 전분과 수소결합을 형 성하여 용액내에서 가소제처럼 거동함을 알수있었다.

This paper presents the extraction scheme of the scattered waves by a target above the ground using the buried antenna in a lossy and dispersive medium. The half wave dipole antennas are used to transmit and to receive a signal. The transmission line model as a feeding model is considered to take into account the effect of transmission line in a real system. The ground is modeled by the 2nd order Debye approximation with the dispersion and loss. PLRC algorithm and DPML as absorbing boundary condition are utilized to apply the 2nd order Debye approximation to FDTD. To extract the scattered wave, in addition, we employed the delay time extraction algorithm. The simulations are conducted to observe the variation of magnitude in scattered wave and detection of target position according to the change of moisture content of the lossy medium.

농산물은 수확된 후부터 계속해서 호흡, 증발, 대사작용을 계속한다. 이런 제반 활동에 기인된 품질손실을 수송과정에서 회복시킬 수는 없으며 단지 농산물은 자체내의 대사작용에 의해서만 에너지를 공급받아 품질을 유지해야 한다. 수확 직후부터 농산물은 세포의 부패로 인해 품질이 저하되기 시작하며 저장기간이 줄어들게 된다 결국 농산물은 수송하고 처리하는 동안의 온도변화, 수분감소, 가스발생 빈도, 물리적 손상, 위생상의 문제 등에 노출된다. (중략)
