  • The changes of rural landscape are currently spread everywhere and are rapidily being processed both in quality and in quantities of changes From such aspects, it is urgent to control the land scape change, and is required to know what is valued or preferred in rural landscape, This study was conducted to investigate preferences and differences of the responses between urban and rural residents to rural scenery. As a method, color-slide surrogates for rural landscape settings are shown to urban and rural residents, For a given 52 scenes of rural landscapes the respondents judged the familiarity, orality, and preference along a ten point scale. The following facts are found: 1) Refponses to certain types of landscape settings are influenced by the place of residence of the respondents. The urban residents highly rated natural components of the rural landscape. In contrast rural residents preferred the scenes with visible sign of development 2) The relations among the estimation of preference, familiarity and rurality in rural landscape were deeply correlated. When the rural lands(:ape is adequately ref resented as 'familiarity' or 'rurality' well the landscape is more preferred 3) It is found what is valued or preferred in rural landscape : Readjusted agricultural land, big tree, grassland hi dominated visually were preferred in rural landscape. The implication of this study is that successful planning of development or management in rural area will occur only when these different needs and values are acknowledged and accommodated.

  • The purpose of this study was to suggest design criteria for the HMT (hydro-mechanical transmission) of a 55 kW-class agricultural tractor, develop a simulation model, and evaluate its performance such as axle rotational speed, tractor speed, and power transmission efficiency. In this study, the HMT comprised a compound planetary gear and a HSU (hydro-static unit), and the compound planetary gear comprised two planetary gear sets. The HMT has three gear stages, and the maximum tractor speed was selected as 40 km/h. The simulation time was set at 2736 hours considering the lifetime of the tractor, and the simulation was performed for each gear stage at the engine-rated power conditions. As a result of the simulation, the axle rotational speeds for each gear stage were 39, 77, and 158 rpm, respectively. The range of tractor speed for each gear stage were 1.05-10.22 km/h, 10.74-20.17 km/h, and 20.70-41.40 km/h, respectively. The APE (absolute percentage gear) for the tractor's maximum speed between target value and simulation results were 2.20%, 0.85%, and 3.50%, respectively. Also, the power transmission efficiency for each gear stage were 0-75%, 72-81%, and 69-81%, respectively. The simulation results for the power transmission efficiency of the HMT were similar with the results of the previous research. This was a basic study on the development of the HMT for an agricultural tractor. In future studies, it is necessary to develop a tractor platform and evaluate the performance. The comparison between the simulation model and the HMT tractor should be performed.

  • Genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) is an outstanding technology for genotyping and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) discovery compared to next generation sequencing (NGS) because it can save time when analyzing large-scale samples and carries a low cost per sample. Recently, studies using GBS have been conducted on major crops and, to a greater extent, on fruit crops. However, many researchers have some problems due to low GBS efficiency resulting from low quality GBS libraries. To overcome this limitation, we developed an efficient GBS library construction method that regulates important conditions such as restriction enzymes (RE) digestion and a PCR procedure for grapevine. For RE digestion, DNA samples are digested with ApeKI (3.6U) at $75^{\circ}C$ for 5 hours and adapters are ligated to the ends of gDNA products. To produce suitable PCR fragments for sequencing, we modified the PCR amplification conditions; temperature cycling consisted of $72^{\circ}C$ (5 min), $98^{\circ}C$ (30 s), followed by 16 cycles of $98^{\circ}C$ (30 s), $65^{\circ}C$ (30 s), $72^{\circ}C$ (20 s) with a final extension step. As a result, we had obtained optimal library construct sizes (200 to 400 bp) for GBS analysis. Furthermore, it not only increased the mapping efficiency by approximately 10.17% compared to the previous method, but also produced mapped reads which were distributed equally on the19 chromosomes in the grape genome. Therefore, we suggest that this system can be used for various fruit crops and is expected to increase the efficiency of various genomic analysis performed.

  • The object recognition mechanism of human being is not well understood yet. On research of animal experiment using an ape, however, neurons that respond to simple shape (e.g. circle, triangle, square and so on) were found. And Hypothesis has been set up as human being may recognize object as combination of such simple shapes. That mechanism is called Figure Alphabet Hypothesis, and those simple shapes are called Figure Alphabet. As one way to research object recognition algorithm, we focused attention to this Figure Alphabet Hypothesis. Getting idea from it, we proposed the feature extraction algorithm for object recognition. In this paper, we described recognition of binarized images of multifont alphabet characters by the recognition model which combined three-layered neural network in the feature extraction algorithm. First of all, we calculated the difference between the learning image data set and the template by the feature extraction algorithm. The computed finite difference is a feature quantity of the feature extraction algorithm. We had it input the feature quantity to the neural network model and learn by backpropagation (BP method). We had the recognition model recognize the unknown image data set and found the correct answer rate. To estimate the performance of the contriving recognition model, we had the unknown image data set recognized by a conventional neural network. As a result, the contriving recognition model showed a higher correct answer rate than a conventional neural network model. Therefore the validity of the contriving recognition model could be proved. We'll plan the research a recognition of natural image by the contriving recognition model in the future.

  • Since the current licensed system codes for Non-LOCA safety analysis are applicable only for a specific type PWR, it is necessary to develope a new system analysis code applicable for all apes of PWRs. As a R&D program, KAERI is developing TASS code as an interactive and faster-than-real-time code for the NSSS transient simulation of both CE and Westinghouse plane. It is flexible tool for PWR analysis which gives the user complete control over the simulation through convenient input and output options. In this paper the code applicability to Westinghouse ape plants was verified by comparing the TASS prediction to plant data of loss of AC power and loss of load transients, and comparing to the prediction of RELAP5/MOD3 for feedline break, locked rotor, steam generator tube rupture and steam line break accidents.

  • 본 연구는 포장모형(APEX, Agricultural Policy Environmental eXtender)과 유역모형(SWAT, Soil and Water Assessment Tool)을 연계하여 새만금 유역의 미래 수문 수질영향과 용수생산성을 분석하기 위한 기초연구이다. APEX 모형을 연계하기에 앞서 SWAT 모형을 이용하여 만경강 유역의 유출량, T-N, T-P를 모의하고 그 적용성을 평가하였다. 모의 기간은 2004년부터 2017년까지 총 14년이며, 기상, 유출량 그리고 월단위 수질 자료를 모형의 입력자료 및 보정을 위해 사용하였다. 매개변수 보정은 객관적 보정이 가능한 SWAT-CUP을 이용하여 최적화 하였으며, 매개변수 보정의 목적함수는 NSE(Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency)로 평가하였다. 모형의 적용성 평가 결과, 보정기간의 연평균 유출량은 실측치 835mm, 모의치 677mm로 나타났고, R2는 0.64, RMSE는 3.87mm/day, NSE는 0.61, RMAE는 0.99로 나타났다. 검정기간의 연평균 유출량은 실측치 884mm, 모의치 702mm로 나타났고, R2는 0.67, RMSE는 2.92mm/day, NSE는 0.7, RMAE는 0.94로 나타났다. 유출량의 결과를 살펴보면 검정기간이 보정기간보다 모의결과가 더 나은 것으로 나타나며, 이는 실측자료의 일관성 차이로 판단된다. T-N과 T-P의 경우 매개변수만으론 보정의 한계가 있으며, 실측치와 근접하게 모의하기 위해서 만경강 본류에 영향을 끼칠 수 있는 외부유입량을 고려할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 만경강 상류의 경천댐, 대아댐 그리고 용담댐으로 부터 유입되는 외부유입량 자료를 수집하여 SWAT의 입력자료로 구축하였으며, 대상유역 내 익산, 완주, 전주, 김제에 위치하고 있는 하수처리장, 축산폐수처리장, 분뇨처리시설, 산업폐수처리시설 그리고 농공단지처리시설 등 총 12곳에 대한 점오염원 데이터를 입력자료로 구축하여 만경강 상류 농업소유역의 수질영향을 평가하였다. 본 연구결과는 향후 미래 수문 수질 모의에 대한 기초자료로 제공될 것이며, 외부유입량을 고려한 만경강 유역의 용수생산성 분석을 통해 미래 농업수자원 관리계획 수립에 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

  • The murine leukemia virus-based semi-retroviral replicating vectors (MuLV-based sRRV) had been developed to improve safety and transgene capacity for cancer gene therapy. However, despite the apparent advantages of the sRRV, improvements in the in vivo transduction efficiency are still required to deliver therapeutic genes efficiently for clinical use. In this study, we established a gibbon ape leukemia virus (GaLV) envelope-pseudotyped semi-replication-competent retrovirus vector system (spRRV) which is composed of two transcomplementing replication-defective retroviral vectors termed MuLV-Gag-Pol and GaLV-Env. We found that the spRRV shows considerable improvement in efficiencies of gene transfer and spreading in both human glioblastoma cells and pre-established human glioblastoma mouse model compared with an sRRV system. When treated with ganciclovir after intratumoral injection of each vector system into pre-established U-87 MG glioblastomas, the group of mice injected with spRRV expressing the herpes simplex virus type 1-thymidine kinase (HSV1-tk) gene showed a survival rate of 100% for more than 150 days, but all control groups of mice (HSV1-tk/PBS-treated and GFP/GCV-treated groups) died within 45 days after tumor injection. In conclusion, these findings sug-gest that intratumoral delivery of the HSV1-tk gene by the spRRV system is worthy of development in clinical trials for the treatment of malignant solid tumors.

  • The utilization of coatings composed of bio-based materials in the processing and preservation of meat presents an environmentally conscious, secure, cost-effective, and superior method for prolonging the storage life of meat while also preserving its nutritional value. In this study, changes in physical, chemical, and microbiological characteristics of freshly cut beef coated with distilled water (control) and keratin-starch composites (K-S) functionalized with 0.0-, 0.2-, 0.6-, and 1.0-mL avocado peel polyphenolic-rich extract (APPPE) kept at 4℃ for 12 days were evaluated periodically at 3-day interval using standard techniques. Keratin was extracted from waste feathers, while starch was obtained from ginger rhizomes. Following a 12-day storage period, beef coated with APPPE-enriched K-S composites exhibited a significant (p<0.05) improvement in shelf life by minimizing deteriorative changes in pH and color (as determined by metmyoglobin level) in addition to inhibiting oxidative changes in lipids (as determined by TBARS level) and proteins (protein carbonyl level) in comparison to control and K-S composite without APPPE. Furthermore, microbial growth was significantly (p<0.05) suppressed in meat coated with K-S composite functionalized with APE at 0.6 and 1.0 mL compared to the control. The study suggested that APPPE-enriched K-S composite could offer an eco-friendly and safe food preservation technique for fresh meat.

  • Forecasts of the monthly catches of anchovy in Korea were carried out by the seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model and spectral analysis. The seasonal ARIMA model is as follows: $$(1-0.431B)(1-B^{12})Z_t=(1-0.882B^{12})e_t$$ where: $Z_t=value$ at month $t;\;B^{p}$ is a backward shift operator, that is, $B^pZ_t=Z_{t-p};$ and $e_t=error$ term at month t, which is to forecast 24 months ahead the anchovy catches in Korea. The prediction error by the Box-Cox transformation on monthly anchovy catches in Korea was less than that by the logarithmic transformation. The equation of the Box-Cox transformation was $Y'=(Y^{0.58}-1)/0.58$. Forecasts of the monthly anchovy catches for $1991\~1992$, which were compared with the actual catches, had an absolute percentage error (APE) range of $1.0\~63.2\%$. Total observed annual catches in 1991 and 1992 were 170,293 M/T and 168,234 M/T respectively, while the predicted catches were 148,201 M/T and 148,834 M/T $(API\;13.0\%\;and\;11.5\%,\;respectively)$. The spectrum analysis of the monthly catches of anchovy showed some dominant fluctuations in the periods of 2.2, 6.1, 10.2 12.0 and 14.7 months. The spectrum analysis was also useful for selecting the ARIMA model.
