Kimchi is well known as a traditional Korean food containing various antioxidative compounds and it has been demonstrated that dietary kimchi inhibit the tissue oxidation and aging in many related studies. Ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation is the most potent among the many related factor to skin photo-aging. This experiment is designed to elucidate the inhibitory effect of solvent fractionation of various kimchi on UVB induced oxidation and erythema formation. Among solvent fractions, phenol content mostly existed in dichloromethane / ethylacetate fraction of buchu kimchi, dichloromethane fraction of Korean cabbage kimchi and ethylacetate / dichloromethane fraction of mustard leaf kimchi. Free radical scavenging activities were higher in dichloromethane and ethylacetate fraction from buchu kimchi, dichloromethane fraction from Korean cabbage kimchi, and ethylacetate fraction from mustard leaf kimchi. When the damage of photo-oxidation by UVB irradiation was tested in the presence of solvent fractions of kimchi, dichloromethane / ethylacetate fraction of buchu kimchi, ethylacetate fraction from Korean cabbage and from mustard leaf kimchi showed the higher protective activities than others. The erythema formations which were induced by UVB irradiation were decreased in solvent fractions of kimchi that hate higher antioxidant activities. In conclusion, kimchi solvent fractions having antioxidant compounds mostly inhibited photo-oxidation and erythema formation by UV-irradiation, therefore kimchi consumption can retard skin aging due to the presence of antioxidative compounds.

This study was performed to investigate the quality characteristics of various salted (8, 10, and 12%) Doenjang prepared with fermented Hwangchil (Dendropanax morbifera) extract as well as the effect of Bacillus methylotrophicus S8 strain, isolated from soy sauce, as a starter culture. After fermentation, the total cell number of low-salted Doenjang (8% and 10%) prepared with fermented Hwangchil was lower than that of Doenjang without fermented Hwangchil. Low-salted Doenjang (8% and 10%) showed higher total acidity, amino acid, and organic acid levels as well lower pH levels than high-salted Doenjang (12%), indicating active fermentation. The highest levels of lactic acid (48.1 mg/L) and glutamic acid (549.0 mg/L) were observed in low-salted Doenjang (8%) fermented with B. methylotrophicus S8 strain. The low-salted Doenjang (8%) fermented with B. methylotrophicus S8 also showed the highest score in overall preference of sensory evaluation. These results indicate that Hwangchil extract fermented with B. methylotrophicus S8 can be used as a starter for making low-salted Doenjang, resulting in improved palatability, and inhibition of abnormal fermentation.

플라즈마 아킹은 PECVD, 플라즈마 식각 그리고 토카막과 같은 플라즈마를 이용하는 여러 공정과 연구 분야에서 문제점을 야기시켜왔다. 하지만, 이에 대한 연구는 아킹 현상의 불규칙성과 과도적인 행동으로 인해 미비한 상태이다. 특히, RF 방전에서의 아킹 연구는 DC 방전에서의 아킹 연구에 비해 많이 부족한 것이 현실이다. 플라즈마 아킹은 집단전자방출(collective electron emission)에 의한 스파크 방전(spark discharge)현상이다. 집단전자방출은 전계방출(field emission)이나 플라즈마와 쉬스를 두고 인접한 표면위에서의 유전분극(dielec emission)에 의해 발생한다. 이렇게 방출된 집단 전자들은 쉬스에서 가속되어 에너지를 얻게 되고 원자와의 충돌로 전자 아발란체를 일으킨다. 이렇게 배가된 전자들은 아킹 스트리머(arcing streamer)를 형성하게 되고 아킹 발생 시 높은 전류와 공정 실패의 원인이 된다. 우리는 $30cm{\times}20cm$ 크기의 사각 전극을 위 아래로 가진 챔버에서 Ar 가스를 RF(13.56 MHz)파워를 이용해 방전시켰다. 방전 전압과 전류는 파워 전극 압단에서 High voltage probe (Tektronix P6015A)와 Current probe (TCPA300 + TCP312)를 이용해 측정했다. 플라즈마 아킹시 변하는 플라즈마 플로팅 포텐셜은 챔버 중앙에 위치한 랑뮈프 프로브에 의해 측정되고 챔버 옆의 뷰포트 앞에 위치한 PM-tube를 이용해 아킹시 변하는 광량을 측정한다. RF 방전에서의 플라즈마 아킹은 아킹시 플로팅 포텐셜의 변화에 의해 크게 세부분으로 나눌 수 있다. 아킹 발생과 동시에 급격히 감소하는 감소부분 (약 2us) 그리고 감소한 포텐셜이 유지되는 유지부분 (약 0~10ms) 그리고 감소했던 포텐셜이 서서히 원래 상태로 회복되는 회복부분(약 100 us)이다. 아킹 초기시 방출된 집단 전자들과 원자들간의 충돌에 의해 형성된 아킹 스트리머는 플라즈마 전체를 단락시키게 되고 이로 인해 플로팅 포텐셜은 급격히 감소하게 된다. 이렇게 감소한 플로팅 포텐셜은 아킹 스트리머가 유지되는 한 계속 감소한 상태를 유지하게 된다. 그리고 플라즈마를 섭동했던 아킹 스트리머가 중단되면 플라즈마는 섭동전의 원래 상태로 돌아가려 하기 때문에 플로팅 포텐셜은 서서히 증가하면서 원래 상태로 회복된다. 플라즈마 아킹 발생시 생성되는 아킹 스트리머는 순간적으로 많은 전자들을 국소적으로 생성하게 되고 이 전자들에 의해 광량이 순간적으로 증가하게 된다. PM-tube (750.4 nm)에 의해 측정된 아킹시 광량은 정상방전 상태의 두배 가량이 된다. 그리고 이 순간적으로 증가된 광량은 시간이 지남에 따라 감소하게 되고 정상방전 일때의 광량이 된다. 광량이 증가한 후 정상방전 상태의 광량에 이르는 부분은 플로팅 포텐셜이 감소한 상태에서 유지되는 부분과 일치하고 이는 플로팅 포텐셜의 유지부분동안 아킹 스트리머가 발생하고 있다는 간접적인 증거가 된다. 그리고 정상 방전 상태 일때의 광량이 되면 아킹 스트리머가 중단되었다는 것이므로 그 시점부터 플로팅 포텐셜은 정산 방전상태 일 때의 포텐셜로 복구되기 시작한다. 이처럼 PM-tube를 이용한 아킹 광량 측정은 아킹 스트리머를 간접적으로 측정하게 하고 아킹 스트리머를 이용해 아킹시의 플로팅 포텐셜의 변화를 설명하게 해 준다. 응용적인 측면에서 아킹 광량 측정을 이용한 아킹 판독은 방전 전류와 방전 전압과 같은 전기적 신호를 이용한 아킹 판독에 비해 여러가지 장점을 가진다. 우선, 전기적 신호를 이용한 아킹 판독처럼 매칭 회로나 플라즈마를 섭동시키지 않는다. 그리고 원하는 부분의 아킹만을 판독하는 것도 가능하며 photo-diode를 이용할 경우 전기적 신호를 이용하는 것에 비해 경제적으로 유리하다.

This study analysed the income-related health inequality of the aged in Korea applied to EQ-5D. Two decompositions were used in analysis. One was the decomposition of income-related health inequality into six different dimensions of EQ-5D, and the other was to decompose it by sub-group such as sex, region, existence of spouse. The results are summarized as follows. First, the health concentration index(CI) of the aged was .0254, which meant that there were pro-rich inequality in elderly people's health levels. The same patterns were also seen in the analysis of different dimensions of EQ-5D such as mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Second, mobility accounted for 35.8% of total EQ-5D score, most contributing to CI of the dimensions of EQ-5D. The CIs by the dimensions ranged from .0091 for mobility to .0013 for self-care. Third, The decompositions by sub-groups showed that the contributions of sex, region, and existence of spouse to health inequality was similar to each other, all of three sub-groups accounted for 10 % of inequality respectively. Fourth, the inequality within group was higher in female group, rural area, and the aged without spouse. The average health level of these groups was lower than that of the other ones, too. These facts indicated that old women, the aged without spouse, and the elderly in rural area were the most vulnerable groups in health problems. Therefore, it is necessary to pay more attention to health problems of these groups in the policy making of health security and social welfare services.

$Mn_1-xCr_xPt_3$ alloy films have been prepared by depositing (Mn, Cr)/Pt multilayers using a rf magnetron sputterer followed by heat treatment. Small and wide angle x-ray diffractometry, magnetic hysteresis loops and Kerr rotation angle spectra of the films have been measured and used to investigate structural, magnetic and magneto-optic properties of the films. The films had a crystal structure of ordered AuCu$_3$ type and the strong preferred orientation of a (111)plane parallel to the film surface. The saturation magnetization of the films was decreased with Cr content reaching almost zero near x=0.58 and then increased for further increasement of Cr content up to x=0.77 over that stayed almost constant. This indicated that Cr atoms were antiferromagnetically coupled with Mn atoms. The magnetic easy axis of MnPt$_3$(x=0) film was parallel to the film surface but those of the films with x$\geq$0.58 increased as Cr content increased reaching about 4 kOe at x=1(CrPt$_3$). The dependence of the Kerr rotation angle on the Cr content was similar to that of the saturation magnetization on the Cr content. The films with x=0.77 and x=1 showed the larger Kerr rotation angle at the wavelengths of near infrared compared to the magneto-optic recording medium, TbFeCo, currently being used.

This study was conducted to investigate the changes in qualities of soft persimmon by freezing and defrosting. Testing varieties were Sangjudungsi and Chunsdobansi that were cultivated on Sangju and Chungdo regions, chief cultivation of astringent persimmon in Kyongbuk province. Dropping time to 40 degrees below zero of the flesh was 10∼20 minutes longer in Chungdobansi than that in Sangiudungsi. Freezing temperature of astringent persimmon was 2∼3 degrees below zero. Occurence rates of cracked fruit during freezing storage were 24.5% in Sangjudungsi and 15.5% in Chungdobansi. Defrosting of Sangjudungsi and Chungdobansi took 150 minutes and 120 minutes at 5$^{\circ}C$, respectively. L values of chromaticity were some lower after defrosting than that of frozen soft persimmon, and a and b values decreased during defrosting rapidly. Soluble solid contents of frozen soft persimmon almost didn't change during freezing, that is, harvesting, softening, frosting and defrosting steps. Defrosting completion time to core part took 4 hours and 30 minutes in Sangjudungsi and 4 hours and 20 minutes in Chungdobansi at ordinary temperature (10.9∼14.8$^{\circ}C$).

This study was conducted to investigate the pH, soluble solid contents, color difference, mineral contents, free sugar contents, and sensory quality of infrared- and cold-air-dried peaches. The pH, soluble solid contents, and free sugar contents of the infrared-dried peaches were higher than those of the cold-air-dried peaches. In the Hunter's color value, the L and ${\Delta}E$ values of the infrared-dried peaches were higher than those of the cold-air-dried peaches; but the a and b values of the cold-air-dried peaches were higher than those of the infrared-dried peaches. The major organic acids of the dried peaches were citric acid, malic acid, and oxalic acid. The minerals with the highest to lowest contents, in that order, were K, Mg, Ca, Na, Fe, Zn, Cu, and Al. The mineral contents of the cold-air-dried peaches were higher than those of the infrared-dried peaches. The appearance and taste of the infrared-dried peaches were better than those of the cold-air-dried peaches. These results indicate that infrared drying is the effective drying method for the production of high-quality dried peaches.

A soil micromorphological study of clayey terrace soils in Yeongnam area was carried out to investigate the soil genetic features and to distinguish the soil parent materials. Dominant plasmic fabrics in the terrace soils were vosepic, mosepic, insepic, and masepic of sepic fabrics but the Geugrag and Upyeong in Yeongil sequence have an asepic fabrics. Embedded grain cutans in the terrace soils were characterized by having porphyroskelic related distribution. Among pedological features of the B horizons of the terrace soils, the argillic cutans of ferriargillans and glaebules of manganiferrous concretions were the dominant in mineralogical composition, and the papules are abundant in the most terrace soils indicating that the soils are generally old. The substrata of the Bancheon in Yeongcheon and Upyeong in Yeongil area were so different from the terrace deposits in plasmic fabrics that these soils were believed to be composed of bisequum profiles. Because of having the free grain cutans, it was considered that the substrata of Bancheon in Yeongcheon and Upyeong in Yeongil area might have a period of soil formation before deposition of the terrace materials.
