Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), one of the most commonly used instruments for metal analysis, was used to determine total uranium in soil. The method was named as "Modified ASTM C1345-96". When comparing with ASTM C1345-96, digestion time (2~3 days) was shorten to 7 hours and the treatment in furnace was eliminated. In analyses of 26 field soil samples, there was a significant difference in the average concentration of total uranium between modified ASTM C1345-96 and ASTM C1345-96 (F : 6.22 > Fc : 4.03, significance level : 0.05, n=26). The average concentration of modified ASTM C1345-96 was 1.8 times larger than that of ASTM C1345-96. In addition, modified ASTM C1345-96 was compared with other acid digestion methods for soil including ISO 11466, Modified ISO 11466, US EPA-3051, US EPA-3051A and US EPA-3052 using a certificated reference material (SRM 2711a, NIST) and field soil samples with different level of organic matter content (1.6%, 5.8%, 10.6%). Modified ASTM C1345-96 showed the best accuracy of 93.01% for SRM 2711a. Also, modified ASTM C1345-96 showed the higher extraction rates than other digestion methods by 11~45%.

This paper proposes the H∞ norm based data association gate method to apply robustly the data association gate of passive sonar automatic target tracking which is on non-linear targets in dense cluttered environment. For target tracking, data association method selects the measurements within validated gate, which means validated measuring extent, as candidates for the data association. If the extent of the validated gate in the data association is not proper or the data association executes under dense cluttered environment, it is difficult to maintain the robustness of target tracking due to interference of clutter measurements. To resolve this problem, this paper proposes a novel gating method which applies H∞ norm based bisection algorithm combined with 3-σ gate method under Gaussian distribution assumption and tracking error covariance. The proposed method leads to alleviate the interference of clutters and to track the non-linear maneuvering target robustly. Through analytic method and simulation to utilize simulated data of horizontal and vertical bearing measurements, improvement of data association robustness is confirmed contrary to the conventional method.

A sulfonated star branched poly(styrene-b-butadiene-b-styrene) triblock copolymer (SSBS) was synthesized with varying degrees of sulfonation. The effective sulfonation on the butadiene block was confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy. Ion exchange capacity by titration was used to determine the degree of sulfonation. The synthesized polymer observed enhanced water uptake and proton conductivity. At room temperature, the SSBS with 25 mol% degree of sulfonation showed an outstanding proton conductivity of 0.114 S/cm, similar to that of commercial membrane, Nafion. The effect of temperature at constant relative humidity on conductivity resulted to a remarkable increase in proton conductivity. Methanol permeability studies showed a value lower than Nafion for all the sulfonated membranes. Structural nature observed using AFM showed that the membranes observed microphase separated nanostructures and the connectivity of the interionic channels.

The purpose of this study was to enhance the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) production of sea tangle extracts, through techniques based on enzymatic hydrolysis and the addition of mixed fermentative lactic acid bacteria. GABA production in the strains was qualitatively confirmed via detection of colored spots using thin layer chromatography. L. plantarum KCTC 21004, L. acidophilus KCTC 3164 and L. sakei subsp. sakei KCTC 3598 were selected as the suitable strains for GABA production. As for the characteristics of fermentation of lactic acid bacteria using the selected strain, as the fermentation time increased, the titrated acidity increased and the pH showed a tendency to decrease. Among the three strains with excellent GABA production ability, L. plantarum KCTC 21004 showed excellent GABA production of 136.4 mg/100g. These research results are expected to be provided a basis for the utilization of lactic acid bacteria in GABA production using a sea tangle extract.

물순환 과정의 구성요소 중 하나인 증발산(증발과 증산)은 각종 수자원시설물의 운영관리, 수자원계획 수립, 농업용 시설의 개발 및 운영관리 등에 필요한 매우 중요한 요소이다. 한편, 기후변화 등으로 '14~'19년 장기간 가뭄, '17년 가뭄상황에서도 태풍 '차바'에 의한 국지적 홍수, '20년 역대 최장기간 장마에 의한 대규모 홍수, '22년 태풍 '힌남노' 이후 남부지역 극심한 가뭄 등 가뭄과 홍수가 반복되어 물관리 여건이 매우 어려운 상황이다. 이러한 홍수/가뭄에 효과적으로 대응하기 위해 강우-유출 모형을 사용한다. 신뢰적인 예측결과를 얻기 위해서는 상세하고 정밀한 증발산량 추정이 필요하다. Penman-Monteith(PM) 기법으로 기준 증발산량을 산정하기 위해서는 최고·최저기온, 이슬점온도, 풍속, 일조시간 등의 기상자료가 필요하다. 이러한 자료는 전국 95개 ASOS 지점에만 얻을 수 있다. 계산된 95개 지점의 기준 증발산량은 티센망 등 방법으로 공간평균하여 활용한다. 95개 지점 자료만으로는 지역적 기상 특성을 반영하여 기준 증발산량을 산정하는데 한계가 있으며, 결국 강우-유출분석의 신뢰도 저하로 귀결된다. 본 연구는 기상청 ASOS 지점 외 AWS 590개 지점을 추가하여 기준 증발산량을 산정하여 공간적으로 상세화하였다. ASOS 지점들에 대해 PM 기법과 Hargreaves(HS) 기법으로 22년간의 일단위 기준 증발산량을 각각 계산하였다. 이들의 상관계수는 평균 0.85로 매우 높아, HS 기법으로 산정된 AWS 지점 결과의 추가사용이 적정하였다. 기온만을 사용하는 HS 기법, PM과 HS의 상관성 및 풍속을 반영한 2가지 보정 HS 기법으로 기준 증발산량을 계산하여 비교·분석하였다. 보정된 HS의 결과가 기존 HS 기법에 비해 오차가 적고, 자료의 편향성이 줄어드는 등 더 좋은 결과를 나타내었다. 따라서, 각종 수문분석에 보정 HS 기법을 AWS 지점에 확대·적용하고, ASOS 관측소의 PM 기법과 병행해 상세화하여 활용하면 수문분석의 신뢰성을 더욱 높일 수 있을 것이다.

Korea Expressway Corporation have a plan to make a new highway from East Hongcheon to Yanayang in Kangwon-do(province). This research was conducted to analyze a vegetation structure of japanese red pine forest and to prepare conservation and restoration basic information for minimizing the effects on pine mushroom producing by road construction. Considering the range of effects by road construction, twenty plots were set up near road construction reserved area, and surveyed. The result analyzed by TWINSPAN, one of the classification technique, showed that the communities were divided into four groups which are two Pinus densiflora community, Pinus densiflora-Quercus variabilis community and Pinus densiflora-Deciduous broad leaves forest community(IV). Species diversity index of each community ranged from $1.7353{\pm}0.0341$ to $1.9079{\pm}0.2471$, and the average number of species was $9.2{\pm}2.8$, especially $9.6{\pm}5.0$ at canopy layer in the unit area($100m^2$). The number of individuals ranged from 4 to 29 and average 9.55 in the unit area($100m^2$). The average RSI(relative space index) was below 35%, the average estimated age of the forest was $38{\pm}8.34$ years. The depth of $A_0$ layer of soil was 4~6cm and the range of soil acidity was pH4.70~5.63(average pH 5.29). Pine mushroom and Japanes red pine have a close symbiosis relation. Therefore it is needed that minimizing the read construction which goes through the pine mushroom producing area. If a road goes through a pine mushroom producing area, restoration measurement is prepared to prevent forest from rapid change such as succession or vegetation structure.

In this study, we investigated the quality of glasswort (Salicornia herbacea L.) mixture fermented by Aspergillus oryzae at $30^{\circ}C$ for 7 days. Changes of pH, titratable acidity, amino-nitrogen content, reducing sugar content, activities of $\alpha$-amylase and protease and number of mold were determined in the course of the fermentation. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition activities and electron donating ability (EDA) were measured after 7 days fermentation. The pH lowered from 6.19~6.22 into the level of 5.41~6.08 after fermentation for 7 days. Titratable acidity increased from 0.59~0.68 into the highest level of 0.95~1.13% after 6 days fermentation. Furthermore, the amino-nitrogen content increased from 128.0~167.2 mg% to 159.4~209.0 mg% after fermentation for 7 days. For the reducing sugar content, it decreased from 2.0~5.9% into the level of 0.4~1.1% during 7 days fermentation. The number of molds decreased from $10^7\;CFU/g$ to approximately $10^6\;CFU/g$ after 5 days fermentation. $\alpha$-Amylase activity showed from the beginning of the fermentation in all samplings, but protease activity reached the value of food code standards after 5 days of fermentation. ACE inhibition activities were slightly increased from 9.5~16.6% to 19.3~22.7% and electron donating ability were slightly increased from 55.6~57.8% to 60.9~62.7% after 7 days of fermentation.

Kochujang, fermented hot pepper paste, was treated with combined high hydrostatic pressure and heat. Viable cell counts and chemical compositions of Kochujang were determined as a function of high pressure processing conditions such as temperature, pressure and time, and during storage for 120 days at $37^{\circ}C$. Viable cell counts were decreased with the increase of temperature, pressure and time. Viable cell counts in the treated Kochujang were decreased up to $0{\sim}3$ log cycle with the temperature of $49{\sim}73^{\circ}C$, $0{\sim}3$ log cycle with the pressure of $380{\sim}680\;MPa$, and $2{\sim}5$ log cycle with the time of $10{\sim}70\;min$, compared with the untreated. pH, titratable acidity, amino nitrogen, reducing sugar and ethanol content in the treated Kochujang were comparable to the untreated regardless of the treatment condition. Hunter L, a and b values in the treated Kochujang were higher than those of the untreated. Viable cell counts were decreased with the increase of the storage period at $37^{\circ}C$. Viable cell counts in Kochujang treated at 380 MPa/30 min were decreased up to 2 log cycle from $1.8{\times}10^6\;to\;1.94{\times}10^4\;CFU/g$ after 120 days of storage, while those at 680 MPa/70 min were not detected after 60 days from the initial stage of $4.00{\times}10^1\;CFU/g$. pH, amino nitrogen and ethanol content were decreased, and titratable acidity were increased significantly as the increase of the storage period. Hunter L, a and b values also decreased significantly. The changes in physicochemical properties of Kochujang treated at 680 MPa/70 min were greater than those at 380 MPa/30 min.

The developments of various processed foods and the high quality dried fruits, in particular, are urgently needed for the enhancement of fruit consumption and their competitive values. Therefore, in this study, three variables by three level factorial design and response surface methodology were used to determine optimum conditions for osmotic dehydration of kiwifruit. The relationships of moisture losses, solid gains, weight reductions, sugar contents, titratable acidities and vitamin C contents depending on changes with temperature, sugar concentration and immersion time were investigated. The moisture loss, solid gain, weight reduction and reduction of moisture content after osmotic dehydration were increased as temperature, sugar concentration and immersion time increased. The effect of concentration was more significant than those of temperature and time on mass transfer. Sugar content was increased by increasing sugar concentration, temperature, immersion time during osmotic dehydration. Titratable acidity and vitamin C content were increased by decreasing temperature, immersion time and increasing concentration during osmotic dehydration. The regression models showed a significant lack of fit (P>0.05) and were highly significant with satisfying values of $R^2$. At the given conditions such as $66{\sim}69%$ moisture content, above $24^{\circ}Brix$ sugar content and more than 23 mg% vitamin C, the optimum condition for osmotic dehydration was $37^{\circ}C,\;55^{\circ}Brix$ and 1.5 hour.
