The objective of this study was to develop mathematical models for describing the kinetic behavior of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) in seasoned beef jerky. Seasoned beef jerky was cut into 10-g pieces. Next, 0.1 mL of S. aureus ATCC13565 was inoculated into the samples to obtain 3 Log CFU/g, and the samples were stored aerobically at $10^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$, $30^{\circ}C$, and $35^{\circ}C$ for 600 h. S. aureus cell counts were enumerated on Baird Parker agar during storage. To develop a primary model, the Weibull model was fitted to the cell count data to calculate Delta (required time for the first decimal reduction) and ${\rho}$ (shape of curves). For secondary modeling, a polynomial model was fitted to the Delta values as a function of storage temperature. To evaluate the accuracy of the model prediction, the root mean square error (RMSE) was calculated by comparing the predicted data with the observed data. The surviving S. aureus cell counts were decreased at all storage temperatures. The Delta values were longer at $10^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$, and $25^{\circ}C$ than at $30^{\circ}C$ and $35^{\circ}C$. The secondary model well-described the temperature effect on Delta with an $R^2$ value of 0.920. In validation analysis, RMSE values of 0.325 suggested that the model performance was appropriate. S. aureus in beef jerky survives for a long period at low storage temperatures and that the model developed in this study is useful for describing the kinetic behavior of S. aureus in seasoned beef jerky.

LNG는 주된 기화기인 해수를 이용하는 해수식 기화기를 이용하여 가스 상태로 소비자에 공급되고 있다. 그러나 겨울철 해수 온도가 $5^{\circ}C$이하로 저하되면 수중 연소식 기화기를 사용하게 되며 이 때 막대한 LNG 기화 소요 비용이 발생하게 된다. 이를 절감하기 위하여 현재의 해수식 기화기의 1단 해수공급을 2단으로 공급하는 공정을 고안하여 그 효과를 분석하였다. 해석 결과, 6m 전열관의 외부에 해수를 2단으로 3m씩 가열할 때 온도가 $1.8^{\circ}C$가 저하되어 해수 온도 $2.5^{\circ}C$까지도 LNG의 기화온도를 $0^{\circ}C$이상으로 배출할 수 있는 것으로 해석되었다. 인천 생산기지에 이 공정이 적용된다면 연간 동계 운전비용 절감량은 LNG 11,770 Ton, 절감액은 117.6억 원으로 분석되었다. LNG를 전량 수입하는 국내 여건에서는 해수 2단 공급 공정을 적용한다면 막대한 에너지와 비용을 절감할 수 있는 매우 효과적인 공정이 될 수 있음을 알 수 있다.

The objective of this study was evaluation of pig behavior changes related to temperature, relative humidity, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and illuminance. A total of 24 growing pigs ([Yorkshire × Landrace] × Duroc) were used in the experiment. A sensor was installed at a height of 0.5 m in the center of the pig house. In experiment 1, temperature was changed every four days to 18℃ (T1), 22℃ (T2), 26℃ (T3), and then 30℃ (T4). In experiment 2, relative humidity was adjusted to 45% (low humidity [LH]), 60% (middle humidity [MH]), and then 75% (high humidity [HH]) for four days. In experiment 3, after cleaning the pig house just before experiment, only minimal ventilation was provided. VOCs and pig behaviors were observed for 7 days without cleaning the pig house. In experiment 4, three light bulbs of 40 W (470 lumens / 45 lx; low illuminance [LI]), 75 W (1,055 lumens / 103 lx; middle illuminance [MI]), and 100 W (1,521 lumens / 146 lx; high illuminance [HI]) were used for four days each. Pig behavior analysis was performed for following criteria : Feed intake, Standing, Lying, Sitting, Drink water, Rooting, Posture transition (lying-standing), Posture transition (standing-lying), Wallowing, and Biting. In experiment 1, feed intake time was lower (p < 0.05) for the T3 than other treatment groups. Standing time was highest (p < 0.05) for the T1 and lowest (p < 0.05) for the T3. Lying time was shorter (p < 0.05) in T1 and T2 compared to T3 and T4. Drinking frequency was higher (p < 0.05) for the T4 than other treatment groups. In experiment 2, the frequency of rooting and wallowing increased (p < 0.05) with increasing humidity. LH showed the lowest (p < 0.05) rooting frequency and HH showed the highest (p < 0.05) rooting frequency. In experiment 3, VOCs concentration did not (p > 0.05) change pig behavior. In experiment 4, lying time was the longest (p < 0.05) at LI and shortest (p < 0.05) at HI. Therefore, pig behavior is heavily influenced by the environment, especially temperature and humidity. However, correlation between pig behavior to VOCs and illuminance seems to be needed more research.

Nickel cobalt ferrite($Ni_{0.5}Co_{0.5}Fe_2O_4$) powder was prepared through the ceramic route by the calcination of a stoichiometric mixture of NiO, CoO and $Fe_2O_3$ at $1100^{\circ}C$. The pressed pellets of $Ni_{0.5}Co_{0.5}Fe_2O_4$ were isothermally reduced in pure hydrogen at $800{\sim}1100^{\circ}C$. Based on the thermogravimetric analysis, the reduction behavior and the kinetic reaction mechanisms of the synthesized ferrite were studied. The initial ferrite powder and the various reduction products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, reflected light microscope and vibrating sample magnetometer to reveal the effect of hydrogen reduction on the composition, microstructure and magnetic properties of the produced Fe-Ni-Co alloy. The arrhenius equation with the approved mathematical formulations for the gas solid reaction was applied to calculate the activation energy($E_a$) and detect the controlling reaction mechanisms. In the initial stage of hydrogen reduction, the reduction rate was controlled by the gas diffusion and the interfacial chemical reaction. However, in later stages, the rate was controlled by the interfacial chemical reaction. The nature of the hydrogen reduction and the magnetic property changes for nickel cobalt ferrite were compared with the previous result for nickel ferrite. The microstructural development of the synthesized Fe-Ni-Co alloy with an increase in the reduction temperature improved its soft magnetic properties by increasing the saturation magnetization($M_s$) and by decreasing the coercivity($H_c$). The Fe-Ni-Co alloy showed higher saturation magnetization compared to Fe-Ni alloy.

들이는 초등학교 수학 교과서에서 지속적으로 지도되어 왔지만 그 의미를 정확하게 정의하지 않고 사용하는 용어이다. 교과서에서 들이의 단위로 리터와 밀리리터가 제시되는 데, 이는 국제단위계에 의하면 부피의 단위에 해당한다. 이와 같은 측면에서 들이의 개념과 들이와 부피의 관계에 대한 논의가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 제1차 교육과정에 따른 초등학교 수학 교과서부터 2015 개정 교육과정에 따른 초등학교 수학 교과서까지 들이 개념이 어떻게 다루어졌는지 분석하고, 초등학교 교사들이 들이 개념을 어떻게 이해하고 있는지 설문지를 통해 살펴보았다. 교과서 분석 결과 들이의 도입 시기는 매우 유사하였으나 들이를 제시하는 상황, 정의 여부, 부피와의 비교, 활용 측면은 교과서에 따라 차이가 있었다. 들이에 대한 교사의 이해를 분석한 결과 대부분의 교사들은 '용기 안쪽 공간의 크기'나 '용기에 담을 수 있는 양'으로 설명하였으나, 들이에 관련된 학생들의 오개념을 분석하는 측면에서는 피상적이거나 적절하지 않은 답변도 있었다. 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 들이 개념의 지도 방안과 차기 교과서 개발에 시사점을 제공하고자 한다.

Purpose : We aimed to investigate the effects of nutritional foods on sarcopenia prevention and physical function among the elderly living in rural communities during the COVID-19 pandemic by providing customized nutrition. Methods : This study was conducted in the rural community of SCC. Participants (n=24, over age 65) were randomly assigned into a Protein group (n=12) and a Vitamin group (n=12). The protein group was given 23 g/d of protein (whey, soybean, BCAA) for 8 weeks and the Vitamin group 23 g/d of vitamin (B, C, D, E and mixed minerals such as calcium, magnesium, zinc) for 8 weeks. All participants had their body composition such as height, weight, skeletal muscle mass, body mass index, and body fat percentage, measured using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and physical function assessed using grip strength and the short physical performance battery (SPPB). Results : At the end of the intervention, there was a significant increase in skeletal muscle mass (p<.01) in the Protein group (p=.002, 4.92 %) compared to the baseline: it increased by 2.33 %. The Vitamin group had a significant increase in body fat percentage after the intervention (p=.001, 15.35 %) compared to the baseline: body fat percentage decreased by 4.49 %. There were no significant differences in left and right Grip strength/Weight, SPPB, 4-m gait speed, chair stand test, and sense of balance in both groups. Conclusion : The findings from this study suggest that 8 weeks of protein intake have a significant effect on skeletal muscle mass and body fat percentage. Protein intake helped promoting the health of the elderly in rural community during the COVID-19 pandemic. It will assist creating a foundation for providing customized nutrition for the elderly in rural community in the future.

Objectives : DojukSan is known to be effective for treating a urinary diseases and stomatitis. However, there has been a lack of studies regarding the effects of Dojuksan on the inflammatory activities and effector inflammatory disease mechanism about macrophage before is not known. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms of Dojuksan water extract (DJS) on pharmacological and biochemical actions in inflammation, we examined the effect of DJS on pro-inflammatory mediators in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated macrophages. Methods : In the present study, pro-inflammatory cytokine production was determined by performing enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, and western blot analysis to measure the activation of MAPKs. Cells were treated with 200 ng/mL of LPS 1 h prior to the addition of DJS. Cell viability was measured by MTS assay. The investigation focused on whether DJS inhibited nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 ($PGE_2$) productions, as well as the expressions of inducible NO synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Results : We found that DJS inhibited LPS-induced NO, $PGE_2$ and IL-6 productions as well as the expressions of iNOS and COX-2. Furthermore, DJS suppressed the LPS-induced phosphorylation of p38 MAPK and c-Jun NH2-protein kinase (JNK). Conclusions : These results suggest that DJS has inhibitory effects on LPS-induced $PGE_2$, NO, and IL-6 production, as well as the expressions of iNOS and COX-2 in the murine macrophage. These inhibitory effects occur through blockades on the MAPKs phosphorylation.

Background: Canine distemper virus (CDV) infection results in high morbidity and mortality in dogs. There has been no report about Isolation of Korean CDV since 1980 in Korea. Objectives: To investigate the biological properties and the genetic characterization of Korean CDV. Methods: Vero cells expressing dog signaling lymphocyte activation molecule (dSLAM) gene named as Vero/dSLAM were used to isolate CDV using 17 samples. Diagnostic methods such as cytopathic effects, immunofluorescence assay, peroxidase linked assay, electron microscopy, rapid immunodiagnostic assay, and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction were used to confirm the Korean CDV isolate as a CDV. The genetic analysis was performed through cloning and sequencing of hemagglutinin gene of CDV isolate. Results: A virus propagated in Vero/dSLAM cell was confirmed as CDV (CD1901 strain) based on the above methods. The CD1901 strain showed the highest viral titer (10^5.5 50% tissue culture infectious dose [TCID₅₀]/mL) in the Vero/dSLAM cells at 4 days post inoculation, but did not form a fork on chorioallantoic membrane of 7-day-old egg. Ribavirin, a nucleotide analogue anti-viral agent, inhibits moderately the Korean CDV propagation in the Vero/dSLAM cells. The nucleotide and amino acid sequences of the H gene of CD1901 strain were compared with those of other CDV strains. The CD1901 strain belonged to Asia 1 group and had the highest similarity (99.9%) with the BA134 strain, which was isolated in China in 2008. Conclusions: We constructed successfully Vero/dSLAM and isolated one Korean CDV isolate (CD1901 strain) from a naturally infected dog. The CD1901 strain belonged to Asia 1 genotype.

교통하중은 포장 설계 및 해석에서 가장 중요한 입력 변수로서 포장 파손의 주요 원인이 된다. 따라서 정확한 포장 설계 및 해석을 위해서는 적절한 교통하중 정량화가 선행되어야 한다. 전통적으로 교통하중은 혼합된 교통흐름을 설계목적의 하나의 값으로 변환시켜주는 ESALs 관점에서 추정되어왔으나 이는 AASHO 도로 테스트를 통해 도출된 지극히 경험적인 값으로 전 노선망에 대해 평균적인 계수로 적용하기에는 한계가 있다. 이러한 등가단축하중계수의 문제점을 해결하기 위해 선진국에서는 역학적 개념을 도입한 많은 연구를 진행한 결과 역학적-경험적 설계법(Mechanistic-Empirical Design)에 적용할 수 있는 축하중 분포(Axle Load Spectra)를 이용한 교통하중 정량화 방안을 수립하였다. 본 논문에서는 일반국도에 설치 운영되고 있는 WIM 시스템을 통해 수집된 화물차 하중 데이터를 이용하여 축하중 분포 특성(Axle Load Spectra)을 이해하고 혼합정규분포함수에 기초한 축 형태별 하중 분포 모형식을 제시하였으며, 이를 기존 하중 분포 모형과 비교 평가하였다. 본 논문에서 제시한 화물차 축하중 분포 특성 및 축하중 분포 모형식은 향후 일반국도 및 고속도로의 포장 설계법 개발을 위한 교통하중 정량화 방안 수립 시, 과적 차량 단속 정책 수립 시, 도로 유지관리를 위한 계획 수립 시 기초자료로써 활용가능하다.
