인삼(수삼)은 장기 유통할 때 품질관리에 어려움을 겪고 있고 이는 잘못된 저장, 세척 등의 기술에서 비롯되는 것으로 포장 기술만으로는 고품질 수삼 유통을 실현하기 어렵다. 따라서 연구결과를 토대로 수출용 인삼 수확후 품질관리 과정을 정리하여 매뉴얼화 하였다. 인삼의 수확후 생리적 특성과 품질저하 요인은 물론 수확에서 저장, 세척·건조, 상품성 향상 포장 방법, 냉장컨테이너 적재, 저온 수송 및 판매 시 주의사항 등을 기술하였다. 수삼의 유통 중 손실율에 가장 크게 영향을 미치는 요인은 물러짐과 곰팡이 발생에 의한 부패, 뇌두부위 출아에 의한 상품가치 하락으로 나타났다. 출아는 수확 시기에 따라 다르게 나타나 가을수확 수삼에서는 저장기간 뇌두부위 출아는 전혀 발생하지 않았고, 봄수확 수삼의 경우 수확시기가 늦으면 뇌두 출아가 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 부패 병원균은 25℃ 운송 시 Fusarium spp.가 15, 5, 1℃ 운송 시 Botrytis spp.가 주를 이루었다. 포장단위를 5kg 대포장과 500g 소포장으로 하였을 때 소포장의 물러짐 현상이 대포장보다 훨씬 높게 나타나는 반면 곰팡이 발생에 의한 부패는 대포장보다 낮게 나타났다. 수삼 저장온도에 따라 유통 중 품질이 크게 달라져 온도 -2℃ 이하에 저장한 수삼은 유통 중 손실률이 높고 특품의 비율이 낮아지는 등 품질이 저하되며 저장기간이 길수록 더욱 심화되는 반면 0℃ 저장 수삼은 저장 3개월 후에도 유통 중 품질의 변화가 적었다. 이러한 결과를 종합적으로 정리하여 인삼의 전통적인 수확후 관리 방법이 아니라 수출용 인삼의 품질 향상을 위해 개선된 수확후 관리 방법을 적용할 수 있도록 흐름도로 정리하였다.

In 2009, the Korean international construction industry showed a great performance, totaling 49.1 billion of contract and then this achievement has been considered a key milestone presenting that the international construction industry is one of the primary export industries of Korea. However, because of the construction firms' equalized levels of technology and price competitiveness, the competition among bidders is becoming more intensive. Moreover, this changing market circumstance leads construction firms to apply for bidding with the lowest price that could not meet the expected profitability of a project. Therefore, to develop various strategies based on project characteristics becomes one of the critical capabilities that construction firms should possess. Based on these motives, this study is aimed to investigate associations among number of bidders, contract award rate, profitability on international projects. For the correlation analysis, a set of data is structured by collecting all projects ranging from 1993 to 2009, excluding projects funded by official development and domestic funds. The number of bidders were grouped depending on project characteristics such as market regions, project types, bidding types, and order organization types. As the result of correlation analysis, contract award rate increases as the number of bidders increase, but the relationship between the number of bidders and profitability is negative. Understanding the correlations among variables can be employed in developing strategies to improve construction firms' competitiveness in the international construction market.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of shading materials (aluminum specific-shading screen and polypropylene non-woven fabric) and shading ratio (50% and 70%) on climatic changes, cut-flower quality, and yield of spray rose cultivars for export during high temperature periods. The daily cumulative solar radiations were higher with the aluminum specific-shading screen, especially with 50% shading compared to polypropylene non-woven fabric. Air temperature and root zone temperature within rockwool media greatly decreased with the aluminum specific-shading screen, but relative air humidity was not different among shading methods. Chlorophyll contents (SPAD values) were slightly higher with aluminum-specific shading screen than with polypropylene non-woven fabric, and were higher with 50% than with 70% aluminum specific-shading screen. Except for 'Lovely Lydia', marketable and exportable yields of all cultivars were higher with 50% than with 70% aluminum shading treatment. In addition, flowers talk length, stem diameter, number of node and 7ea-leaflet, and floret number tended to be better with aluminum specific-shading screen. Flower stalk length was higher with 70% than with 50% aluminum shading treatment. Chromaticity of petals slightly increased, and vase life was 0.5-2.5 days longer for each cultivar with aluminum specific-shading screen than with polypropylene non-woven fabric.

For the purpose of practical application of gamma irradiation for export lily without the ionic energy damage, 150 Gy gamma ray was suggested as the safe level on cut lilies, the oriental cultivar Siberia (white) and Sorbonne (pink). The combined treatments of 150 Gy gamma ray and sodium dichloroisocyanurate (NaDCC) at 0, 40, 100, and $200{\mu}g/l$, were tried to control lily leaf blight caused by Botrytis elliptica. Incidences of petal blight on the two oriental lilies at control were 93%-95%, whereas those at the combined treatments of 150 Gy and $100{\mu}g/l$ or higher of NaDCC were 76%-83%. However, severity of petal blight was not reduced by the combined treatments. Gamma irradiation at 150 Gy did not change the cut lily quality such as improve cut lily longevity of vase-life compare with the control. In addition, fresh weight, chlorophyll contents, and the color of pink petals of Sorbonne were not changed by 150 Gy of gamma irradiation. Therefore, we recommend the combined treatment of 150 Gy gamma irradiation and $100{\mu}g/l$ NaDCC for the standard operating procedure on cut lily for export quarantine to control leaf blight.

This study was conducted out to investigate the effect of harvest time of the day, precooling or not, and temperature of precooling and storage on the marketability in strawberries 'Maehyang' for export in May. Strawberry colored with 60±5% of the skin was harvested at 07:00 am or 15:00 pm, respectively. After harvesting, some strawberries were precooled to 0, 2, 4℃ for 3 hours in the cold store, respectively, and the others were kept at room temperature. And then, strawberries were stored at low temperature in the cold store set at 4, 8 or 10℃ storage temperatures. The weight loss rate, firmness, soluble solids content, color, incidence of gray mold of strawberries were measured at two days intervals during storage for 14 days. Both 07:00 am and 15:00 pm harvest, fruits as the storage periods lapses increased weight loss rate compared to the weight at harvest time of the day, and the difference in the weight loss rate of fruits depending on the treatment was greater at 15:00 pm harvest than at 07:00 am. Firmness tended to increase again after 8th day at 07:00 am or 15:00 pm harvest, respectively. In the afternoon harvest, 10℃ storage without precooling showed the lowest fruit firmness on the 2nd day after storage. The soluble solids content at 07:00 am or 15:00 pm harvest tended to be maintained at high value with precooled and stored at low temperature as storage days elapse. The color values were significantly higher at 'L' indicating brightness and lower at 'a', indicating redness at low storage temperature regardless of harvesting time of the day and whether it was precooling or not. The incidence of gray mold was higher at 15:00 pm harvest than at 07:00 am harvest, and it was significantly higher in the treatments stored at 10℃ after precooling similarly. In this study, strawberry 'Maehyang' for export harvested at 07:00 am and stored at 4℃ after precooling at 0℃ maintained the best shelf life, therefore, it is judged that desirable to harvest in the morning with low temperature and to precool and store at low temperature.

Effects of postharvest 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) treatment, controlled atmosphere (CA) storage, and shelf temperature on quality of 'Gamhong' apples were analyzed during export simulation. Fruits were harvested at the optimum maturity for long-term storage, treated with $1{\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 1-MCP for 16 hours, and then stored for 6 months under air and CA conditions at $0^{\circ}C$. Poststorage export procedure was performed by applying additional 2-week refrigerated storage and 7-day shelf-life test at 7 and $20^{\circ}C$, which simulated container shipment and local distribution, respectively. After storage and during export simulation, rates of respiration and ethylene evolution were significantly lower in 1-MCP treated and CA-stored apples. For the reduction of respiration, CA storage was more effective than 1-MCP treatment. Soluble solids content was maintained higher in 1-MCP treated apples, while titratable acidity was maintained better both in the 1-MCP treated and CA-stored apples. Effects of 1-MCP treatment and CA storage were highly significant in maintaining flesh firmness and sensory texture ratings. Additive effects from combined application of 1-MCP treatment and CA storage were occasionally observed. Shelf temperature during the local distribution simulation seemed not to significantly influence quality changes only showing limited effects on flesh firmness. Overall results suggest that storage potential of 'Gamhong' apples is shorter than 4 months in control fruit under refrigerated air conditions, whereas the potential can be extended to longer than 6 months by 1-MCP treatment and CA storage. Postharvest program should be provided considering the time of export, i.e. period of storage, and duration of local distribution.

This study was conducted to compare the quality characters of 15 different tomato cultivars ('Dotearang Dia', 'Super Dotearang', 'Super sunroad', 'Hoyong', 'Mirokku', 'Baccuhs', 'Mascara', 'Poseidon', 'Radido', 'Madison', 'Rapsodie', 'Solomon', 'Amaral', 'Picasso', 'Tymaxx') and find out the correlation among the quality characters in order to get basic informations for exporting tomato. The $a^*/b^*$ value of fruit surface showed from 2.8 to 4.8, but there was no significant difference in fruit surface color value, such as $a^*$, $b^*$ and $a^*/b^*$ among the cultivars. The respiration and ethylene production rate also were not shown any significantly difference among cultivars. The firmness of fruit was higher in 'Picasso', 'Tymaxx' and 'Madison' cultivars. The contents of soluble solids was higher in 'Hoyong' and 'Dotearang Dia' cultivars. The vitamin C content was higher in 'Super Sunroad' and 'Dotearang Dia' cultivars. The titratable acidity was higher in 'Hoyong' cultivars. The sugar/acid ratio that depended on soluble contents was lower in 'Amaral', 'Picasso', 'Tymaxx' cultivars that showed lower soluble contents. Conclusionally, The firmness that was one of the most important quality character in exporting tomato was higher in European cultivars, but soluble solide and vitamin C content were higher in Japanese cultivars. The significant correlation coefficient values were determined (more than p = 0.05) between $a^*/b^*$ and other quality characters. The results suggested that surface color was the most suitable character represented tomato qualities. The high coefficient value (r = 0801) between $a^*/b^*$ and the contents of soluble solids. The firmness and the contents of soluble solids that is the most important factor for exporting showed significant negative correlation (r = -0.611).

Central Asia (Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan) is a hot and arid continental climate, with most areas (68%) consisting of barren vegetation, desert, and meadows. The main agricultural areas for crop production include irrigated farmland, non-irrigated farmland, grassland, prairie and mountain. We are experiencing climate change with recent climate variability increasing. Agriculture is one of major economic sectors and provides a means of livings for the rural population of Central Asia, especially the poor. In the past two decades, Central Asia has experienced a high population growth rate, with Kazakhstan at 16.8%, Uzbekistan at 34.5% and Kyrgyzstan at 28.4%. As a major industry, Kazakhstan has the largest share of exports of agricultural products followed by petroleum, mineral resources, steel, and chemicals. Uzbekistan is the fifth largest cotton exporter as well as the sixth largest cotton producer in the world. Kyrgyzstan exports ores, stones, cultured pearls, and minerals. These three countries are rich in mineral resources, agricultural products, and energy resources. However, not only do they have difficulties in economic development due to the weakness of logistics and industrial infrastructure, but they also have imperceptible cooperation and investment among countries due to insufficient research and development. Through this study, we will investigate national outlook, economic indicators, major agricultural products, import and export status, and agricultural technology cooperation status, and study how Korean agricultural industry advances into these countries through SWOT analysis. Through this, we hope to contribute to the basic data of Central Asian studies and cooperation and investment in agriculture in each country. In addition, in order to increase cooperative exchange and investment in these countries, we will prepare a Central Asia logistics hub for the rapidly changing interKorean railroad era.

우리나라와 같이 에너지자원이 없어 전량을 수입에 의존하여야 하는 나라에서는 에너지 소비절약이라고도 일컬어지는 고효율 기기의 보급에 많은 관심을 가져야 한다. 고효율기기의 사용은 전체적인 부하전력량을 줄여나가며, 한번 보급되면 계속 에너지를 감할 수 있고, 부하를 차단하여야 하는 불편도 적어지게 된다. 또한 기술개발로 인한 기기수출효과 및 다양한 효과가 있으므로 국가적으로는 커다란 이익이 될 수 있다. 따라서 고유가시대를 맞아 고효율 기기의 사용에 특히 많은 관심을 가져야 하며, 정부에서도 많은 관심을 가지고 있기도 하다. 본 논문에서는 전체 전력소비량의 20%이상을 차지하는 조명기기에서 고효율조명기기에 대해 확산 모형을 이용하여 보급상태를 분석해 보고자 한다.
