Pleurotus eryngii is one of the main export items in Korean mushroom industry. Whole mushrooms were packed with 30 um polypropylene anti-fog film without trimming. The range of package weight and oxygen permeability of film were 400 g and 2000 $c/m^2$, 24 h,atm, respectively. The anti-browning treatments were sprayed by 0.5%(w/w) solution of Sporix Sporix(Sodium polyphosphate and $ClO_2$ gas The weight loss ratio was increased with increasing shelf period and temperature. There were no big differences in weight loss ratio according to browning inhibitors. In case of $ClO_2$ treatment, the hardness and lightness of stem was showed higher than other treatment for shelf period. As results of freshness, the optimum browning inhibitor of P. eryngii was $ClO_2$ treatment and the shelf life was extended 36days at $10{\sim}15^{\circ}C$.

In order to set public policy to overcome 'water crises' on both quantity and quality of water, we looked into the national-economic role of Korea water utility by two approaches. First, we examined the relationship between water consumption and economic growth during 1978-94, a period of rapid increase in water consumption caused by prompt industrialization and urbanization. The price and income elasticities of aggregate and sectoral demand for water were estimated. Second, we developed a static input-output(I-O) framework for analysing water issues in the short run. In addition, we discussed two topics in its application: i) sectoral failure(shortage) costs by supply-driven I-O model, ii) Leontief price model's sectoral pervasive effects of price due to rise in water rate. In conclusion, we found that investments to water sector and water shortage has a big influence on the standard of living and industrial production. Also we found that raising water rate to encourage conservation or to create investment funds decreases demand for water significantly but has a small influence on overall price levels.

The objectives of this study are to investigate the groundwater and surface water contamination, to interpret the attenuation mechanism of contaminant transport, and to find the appropriate contamination indicator. at the two big landfill sites : Nanjido Landfill and Hwasung Landfill. Leachate from the Nanjido, th, Hwasung and the Kimpo waste disposal sites is characterized by high temperature (31.7-40.1$^{\circ}C$), high electric conductivity (14,650-32,800 ${\mu}$S/cm), somewhat higher pH(7.58-8.45) and low Eh (-119.4-20.4 mV), and is enriched in both major (Na$^{＋}$, K$^{＋}$, Ca$^{2＋}$, Mg$^{2＋}$, HC $O_3$$^{－}$, Cl$^{－}$) and minor (Mn, Sr$^{2＋}$, Ba$^{2＋}$, Li$^{＋}$, F$^{－}$, Br$^{－}$) ions. Municipal solid waste leachate and industrial waste leachate are effectively discriminated by the content of S $O_4$$^{2－}$, Fe, and heavy metals. The attenuation mechanism of each component was assessed using the chemical analysis. Cl-normalizing process, WATEQ4F simulation, and preceding flownet analysis. Based on the calculation of Contamination Factor, K, Na, Ca, Mg, B, Zn, HC $O_3$, Cl, F, Br and TOC are effective contamination indicators in the Nanjido landfill site, and K, Na, Ca, Mg, B, S $O_4$, HC $O_3$, Cl, F, Br and TOC in the Habsburg landfill site Particularly, TOC is the best contamination indicator in landfill sites influenced by sea water.

The purpose of this study is to estimate the emission factor of $non-CO_2$ global warming gases such as $N_2O$ and $CH_4$ by measuring concentrations from stacks of waste incinerators and cement production plants. Based on the established monitoring methods, $N_2O$ concentration measured from stacks in incinerator were between 0.62 and $40.60\;ppm_v$ (ave. $11.50\;ppm_v$). The concentration of $N_2O$ was dependent on the incinerator types. However, the concentrations of $CH_4$ gas were between 2.65 and $5.68\;ppm_v$ (ave. $4.22\;ppm_v$), and did not show the dependency on the incinerator types. In the cement production plant, the concentration ranges of $N_2O$ from the stack were from 6.90 to $10.80\;ppm_v$ (ave. $8.60\;ppm_v$), and $CH_4$ were between 1.80 and $2.20\;ppm_v$ (ave. $2.60\;ppm_v$). Using measured concentrations, the emission amounts of $N_2O$ and $CH_4$ from stacks per year were calculated. The results were is 4.2 ton $N_2O/yr$ in the incinerators, and 53.7 ton $N_2O/yr$ in the cement facilities. The big difference is from the flow rate of flue gas in the cement facilities compared to the incinerators. By the same reason, the $CH_4$ emission amounts in cement plant and incinerator was found to be 339 ton $CO_2/yr$ and 34.1 ton $CO_2/yr$, respectively. Finally, the emission factor of $N_2O$ in the incinerators were calculated using the measured concentration and the amount of incinerated wastes, and was $42.5\sim799.1\;g/ton$ in kiln and stoker type, $11.9\sim79.9\;g/ton$ in stoker type, 90.1 ton/g in rotary kiln type, 174.9 g/ton in fluidized bed type, and 63.8 g/ton in grate type, respectively. Also, the emission factors of $CH_4$ were found to 65.2-91.3 g/ton in kiln/stoker type, 73.9-122 g/ton in stoker type, 109.5 g/ton rotary kiln, and 26.1 g/ton in fluidized bed type. This result indicates that the emission factor in incinerators is strongly dependent on the incinerator types, and matched with result of IPCC (International Panel on Climate Change) guideline.

The Internet of Things (IoT) significantly increases the amount of data. Database compression is important for big data because it can reduce costs for storage systems and save I/O bandwidth. However, it could show low performance for write-intensive workloads such as OLTP due to the updates of compressed pages. In this paper, we present practical guidelines for the performance improvement of database compression. Especially, we propose the SELECTIVE strategy, which compresses only tables whose space savings are close to the expected space savings calculated by the compressed page size. Experimental results using the TPC-C benchmark and MySQL show that the strategy can achieve 1.1 times better performance than the uncompressed counterpart with 17.3% space savings.

Hydrogen bond is an important factor in the structures of carbohydrates. Because of great strength, short range, and strong angular dependence, hydrogen bonding is an important factor stabilizing the structure of carbohydrate. In this study, conformational properties and the hydrogen bonds in GlcNAc( ${\beta}$1,3)Gal(${\beta}$)OMe in DMSO are investigated through NMR spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulation. Lowest energy structure in the adiabatic energy map was utilized as an initial structure for the molecular dynamics simulations in DMSO. NOEs, temperature coefficients, SIMPLE NMR data, and molecular dynamics simulations proved that there is a strong intramolecular hydrogen bond between O7' and HO3' in GlcNAc( ${\beta}$1,3)Gal(${\beta}$)OMe in DMSO. In aqueous solution, water molecule makes intermolecular hydrogen bonds with the disaccharides and there was no intramolecular hydrogen bonds in water. Since DMSO molecule is too big to be inserted deep into GlcNAc(${\beta}$1,3)Gal(${\beta}$)OMe, DMSO can not make strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding with carbohydrate and increases the ability of O7' in GlcNAc(${\beta}$1,3)Gal(${\beta}$)OMe to participate in intramolecular hydrogen bonding. Molecular dynamics simulation in conjunction with NMR experiments proves to be efficient way to investigate the intramolecular hydrogen bonding existed in carbohydrate.

In order to find out the Radioprotective effect of algin-oligosaccharide(AOS), this study, with a mouse of which whole frame irradiated by 3 Gy radiation once, measured caspase-3 and caspase-9 amid cell signaling connected to apoptosis in order to observe cell activation. In Caspase-3 and Caspase-9 test for observing cell activation, both of Caspase-3 and Caspase-9 showed highly increased O.D. value in the irradiation control group, while the whole groups treated with algin-oligosaccharide before or after irradiation indicated lower O.D. value than the irradiation control group, especially showed big difference in 7 day's treatment group of before irradiation (P<0.001). It confirmed that Caspase generation was restrained in AOS treatment group. Consequently, this study inquired into the fact that algin-oligosaccharide with superior antioxidant activity performed radiation protection by inducing restraint of Caspase generation and confirmed that natural product with less chemical toxicity was able to be applied as radioprotector.

We have studied a property of arachidic acid Langmuir-Blodgett films at room temperature with two different electrodes ; Al/LB/Al and Au/LB/Au. Since a natural oxide layer is formed on top of the Al electrode, the appropriate structure of AL/LB/Al is Al/Al$_2$O$_3$/LB/Al. To obtain a property of Pure LB film, Aua/LB/Au structure was made. In Al/Al$_2$O$_3$/LB/Al structure, a conductivity of 3.7${\times}$10$\^$-14/ S/cm was obtained by using current-voltage(I-V) characteristics. In Au/LB/AU structure, however, I-V curve was not able to be measured because of short current even in 51 layers of the LB film. A status of defects in the film was confirmed by copper decoration method. We have clearly seen a rather big difference of defect in those two above structures.

Quercetin and its glycosides showed a strong free radical scavenging effect to DPPH radical generation. However, there were not big differences between quercetin aglycone and glycosides under experimental condition of this study. On the other hand, quercetin had pro-oxidant effect in bleomycin-dependent DNA assay. Quercetin aglycone and its glycosides, quercitrin inhibited $H_2$$O_2$- induced DNA damage in CHL cells. They also have an anticlastogenicity toward DNA breakage agent by radical generation like bleomycin. These results indicate that quercetin aglycone and its glycosides are capable of protecting the free radical generation induced by reactive oxygen species like $H_2$$O_2$. The mechanism of inhibition in hydrogen peroxide-induced genotoxicity may be due to their free radical scavenging properties. Therefore, quercetin aglycone and its glycosides may be useful chemopreventive agents by protecting of free radical generation which are involved in carcinogenesis and aging. However, quercetin and its glycosides must also carefully examined for pro-oxidant properties before being proposed for use in vivo.
