  • The theme-type self-harvest concept proposed in this research will be applied as a relevant reference in planning and realizing urban-rural exchange facilities at the village level. The aim of this paper is to describe the concept, to characterize the self-harvesters and organic farmers involved, to illustrate the ecological, economic and social interaction and the possible constraints of the concept. What is more important, however, is to develop programs for consultants, organic farmers and green-minded consumers, to vitalize direct transaction. The proponents of self-harvest are convinced that this concept leads to ecological, economic and social benefits, which will help to design a sustainable food supply system for small, medium and large cities.

  • We predict agigantic perpendicular magnetocrystalline anisotropy (MCA) in Fe (001) capped by 5d transition metal (TM) overlayers by using first principles calculations. Analysis of atom-by-atom contribution to MCA reveals that gigantic MCA as large as 11 meV/TM originates not from Fe atoms but from the 5d TMs through the strong spin-orbit coupling. More specifically, it is the hybridization between TM and Fe d orbitals that also induces non-negligible magnetic moments in TM. Furthermore, spin-channel decompositions of MCA matrix with and without the presence of Fe substrate identify the electronic origin of the perpendicular MCA that the down-down channel contribution plays the most crucial role for the sign changes of MCA of TM overlayers upon the hybridization with Fe-3d.

  • This paper is concerned with the development of a new method for making, separating ice and storage floated ice by installing an evaporation plate at under-water within a storage tank. In a conventional harvest-type ice storage system, a tank saves ice by separating an ice from an installed evaporation plate, which is located above an ice storage tank as an ice storage system. Developed new harvest-type method shows good heat transfer efficiency than a convectional method. It is because the evaporation panel is directly contacted with water in a storage tank. Also, at a conventional system a circulating pump, a circulating water distributor and a piping are installed, however these components are not necessary in a new method. In this study ice storage systems are experimentally investigated to study the charge and discharge of thermal energy. The results show the applicable possibility and performance enhancement of a new type.

  • This study was carried out for the establishment of optic harvest date and storage condition of 'Fuji' apple for CA storage. Apples were picked at 10 day intervals from 17 Sept to 27 Oct.. Apples were analyzed for respiration rata, weight flesh firmness, titratable acidity, soluble solid, total sugar, reducing sugar, surface color and thiault value. In 1990, the optimal harvest season could be judged between 17 Oct. and 27 Oct. from the results of respiration rate rise and change of quality properties. Apples harvested on 27 Oct. wert stored at 2$^{\circ}C$ and 90~95% RH in 1%O2 + 3%CO2, 3%O2 + 3%CO2 and air for 9 months. After 9 months of storage, apples kept in CA storages had beater quality than apples kept in refrigeration storage. Especially, apples kept in 1%O2, + 3%CO2 were fumer and more acid than those kept in 3%O2 + 3%CO2 At the sensory evaluations, apples stored in CA were rated higher quality than apples stared refrigeration.

  • In June 2017, in Gangneung, Gangwon Province, South Korea, green pea pods exhibited post-harvest rot symptoms. The fungus was isolated from infected pea pods and cultured on potato dextrose agar for identification. The morphological characteristics were examined, sequences of the internal transcribed spacer region and the β-tubulin (βtub) gene were analyzed, and the pathogenicity was confirmed according to Koch's postulates. The morphology, phylogenetic analysis, and pathogenicity tests confirmed that Sclerotinia sclerotiorum was the causal agent. This study reports the first case of post-harvest green pea pod rot caused by S. sclerotiorum in Korea.

  • Post-harvest treatment for barley production requires many steps including drying, cleaning, and packing, and these steps be needed many labor input. Rice processing complex (RPC) is useful for post harvest management system in rice production. However, it is rare to be used for barley production. This study was conducted to explore the variations of quality and labor saving between conventional method and bulk-management system in post-harvest using RPC. The sorting rate was not different between manual method and bulk management. The hardness of non-polished grain was ranged 10,175-10,329 g/$3.14mm^2$, and that for non-polished grain was higher than that for polished grain, but there was not different between drying method. There was not be showed the hunter's value such as L, a and b according to drying method. Cooking characters such as water absorption ratio, swelling ratio, and water soluble extracts by circulated or continued dryer was higher than manual drying using solar heat. Labor input per ha for each cultivation process in bulk-management of barley using rice processing complex was 21 hours, compared to 46 hr/ha in the conventional method, labor input was greatly saved by up to 54.3% in the post-harvest bulk management system.

  • This study was conducted to investigate the impact of harvest time on yield and seed quality in purple seed coat peanut. Compared to the average Virginia peanut variety, 'Heuksaeng', purple peanut variety has been reported to experience yield loss and reduced seed quality under delayed harvest. We examined the yield components and seed quality at different harvest times from 70 to 110 days after flowering (DAF), with harvesting occurring at intervals of 10 days. The number of mature pods per plant reached a maximum of 51.0 at 80 DAF, and average pod and seed yield peaked at 80 DAF with values of 5,229 and 3,532 kg per ha, respectively. Seed quality drastically decreased after 100 DAF, and the concentrations of two major anthocyanin compounds were significantly lower under delayed harvest. The antioxidative activities of DPPH and ABTS decreased to only 69 and 83% of their maximum values at 110 DAF. On the basis of these results, we recommend that 'Heuksaeng' is harvested approximately 10 to 15 days earlier that average Virginia-type cultivars to obtain the highest yield while minimizing the deterioration of seed quality.

  • In this paper, a power management circuit was designed to drive the emergency lighting LED in the underground facility for public utilities using magnetic energy harvest. The magnetic energy harvest consists of a harvest elements and power management circuits. The proposed circuit was made of a rectifier, a battery charging circuit, and an LED driving circuit. In normal times, the battery is charged with the harvested power, and in the event of an emergency, the energy stored in the battery is used to drive the LED. As a result of the measurement, it took two minutes to charge the 47 mF capacitor. This is the amount of power that can drive an LED for emergency lighting for about three and a half minutes. Through this, it was confirmed that the power management circuit for magnetic energy harvest proposed in this paper can be used as an emergency lighting LED-driven power device in an underground facility for public utilities where it is difficult to draw separate power.

  • Soybean seeds deteriorate even before harvest, especially under high temperature and high relative humidity conditions. This study was conducted to determine the effect of harvest date on seed quality in early maturing soybean cultivars. Soybean cultivars used in the experiment were Damyang-native, having small seed with yellow color, and Yuhsuzumi, having large seed with green color. The length of physiological maturity to grain harvest was 24 days in Yuhsuzumi and 8 days in Damyang-native. The moisture contents of seed were 25.3 % in Yuhsuzumi and 14.5 % in Damyang-native cultivar when pod reached its mature pod color. The seed color of Yuhsuzumi started to turn yellow, and its germination rate was greatly decreased when harvest was delayed after maturity, However, Damyang-native cultivars produced seed of high quality regardless of delayed harvest.
