This study was undertaken for the purpose of investigating the properties of Yackwa added by different levels of ginger juice with 3 different kinds of ginger (small, medium, and large) produced in Susan and Bongdong. There were differences in content of moisture and ash. Susan large ginger showed me highest level of moisture. By the sensory evaluation, Yackwa added by 5 g (2% of wheat flour, w/w) of Susan (small) and Bongdong ginger juice showed higher preference man those of other levels. However, Yackwa made with Susan large ginger juice showed preferable when 10 g (4% of wheat flour, w/w) was added. Textural characteristics by rheometer measurement and color were influenced by adding different levels of ginger juice. Sensory evaluation for the color of Yackwa made with Susan and Bongdong ginger juice showed a high positive correlation with L, a, and b values in instrumental test.

A filter-based optical technique is one of the representative ways for the measurement and quantification of black carbon (BC). Since the filter-based technique adopts a simple principle, it is easy to put into practical use and instrumental products have already been commercialized. In this study, however, the absorption coefficients of BC after the correction process was estimated to be approximately 3 times lower than those before the correction process. In addition, the difference between before and after corrections was also evident for the trend of increasing and decreasing absorption coefficient. When BC concentration is low, uncertainty may increase regardless of corrections due to the artifacts of filter. In this sense, techniques without using a filter are required, and uncertainties will be minimized if these techniques are used to further complement the filter-based black carbon measurements. Finally, this study is believed to help understand the uncertainty and correction of filter-based black carbon measurements.

We have developed the spirometer system; many patients having weak respiration have difficulties in using conventional spirometers in hospitals, because their weak breath can be affected by the errors of inertia and instrumental pressure. We have developed a new ultrasound spirometer using an ARM 920T processor. To detect weak respiratory signals, we add a comparator circuit, which can afford more information of respiration characteristics such as respiration volume, directions, and velocities. We have also developed Gill for graphical display of respiration characteristics. Through the pilot test, it has been verified that the developed spirometer is operating reliably.

To measure the precision of Soiltek$^{(R)}$ KA-1 spectrophotometric measurement of soil available phosphate, standard deviation, C;V, and relative sensitivity were investigated, comparing to Lancaster method. Available phosphate concentration measured by Soiltek$^{(R)}$ KA-1 spectrophotometric method was highly correlated with Lancaster method($r=0.998^{***}$) and the slop of regression equation was close to 1.0. There were no differences in standard deviation. CV, and relative sensitivity for soil available phosphate concentrations measured by two methods. Regarding to convenience of experimental procedure and instrumental operation, and time saving analysis, Soiltek$^{(R)}$ KA-1 spectrophotometric measurement for soil available phosphate is highly recommended.

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is a key component in the biogeochemical cycling in freshwater ecosystem. However, it has been rarely explored, particularly complex river watershed dominated by natural and anthropogenic sources, such as various effluent facility and livestock. The current research developed a new analytical method for TOC/TN (Total Organic Carbon/Total Nitrogen) stable isotope ratio, and distinguish DOM source using stable isotope value (δ¹³C-DOC) and spectroscopic indices (fluorescence index [FI] and biological index [BIX]). The TOC/TN-IR/MS analytical system was optimized and precision and accuracy were secured using two international standards (IAEA-600 Caffein, IAEA-CH-6 Sucrose). As a result of controlling the instrumental conditions to enable TOC stable isotope analysis even in low-concentration environmental samples (<1 mgC L^-1), the minimum detection limit was improved. The 12 potential DOM source were collected from watershed, which includes top-soils, groundwater, plant group (fallen leaves, riparian plants, suspended algae) and effluent group (pig and cow livestock, agricultural land, urban, industry facility, swine facility and wastewater treatment facilities). As a result of comparing characteristics between 12 sources using spectroscopic indices and δ¹³C-DOC values, it were divided into four groups according to their characteristics as a respective DOM sources. The current study established the TOC/TN stable isotope analyses system for the first time in Korea, and found that spectroscopic indices and δ¹³C-DOC are very useful tool to trace the origin of organic matter in the aquatic environments through library database.

Uncertainty was quantified to evaluate calcium determination result in infant formula with AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectrometry) and ICP-AES (Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometry). Uncertainty sources in measurand, such as sample weight, final volume of sample, sample dilution and the instrumental result were identified and used as parameters for combined standard uncertainty based on the GUM (Guide to the expression of uncertainty in measurement) and Draft EURACHEM/CITAC Guide. Uncertainty components of each sources in measurand were identified as resolution, reproducibility and stability of chemical balance, standard material purity, standard material molecular weight, standard solution concentration, standard solution dilution factor, sample dilution factor, calibration curve, recovery, instrumental precision, reproducibility, and stability, Each uncertainty components were evaluated by uncertainty types and included to calculate combined uncertainty. The kinds of uncertainty sources and components in the analytical method by AAS and ICP-AES were same except sample dilution factor for AAS. The analytical results and combined standard uncertainties of calcium content were estimated within the certification range $(367{\pm}20\;mg/100g)$ of CRM (Certified Reference Material) and were not significantly different between method by AAS followed by ashing and method by ICP-AES followed by acid digestion as $359.52{\pm}23.61\;mg/100g\;and\;354.75{\pm}16.16\;mg/100g$, respectively. Identifying uncertainty sources related with precision, repeatability, stability, and maintaining proper instrumental conditions as well as personal proficiency was needed to reduce analytical error.

This study was conducted to develop a standardized Korean cold noodle stock recipe which can be used in food service establishments. The qualities of three kinds of stock made of beef rib only(B group), beef rib added with chicken(BC group), and beef rib added with chicken and vegetable(BCV group) were investigated by using sensory evaluation and instrumental analyses for free amino acids and nucleotides during heating (2, 3, 4, and 6 hr) at 90$\pm$ 5$\^{C}$ The highest amino acid contained in B, BCV, and BCV groups was arginine followed by alanine, glycine, and glutamic acid. B and BC groups was extracted to the best contents of amino acids by heating for 4 hours but BCV group for 3 hours. Nucleotides were extracted from B and BC group between 3 and 4 hours of heating but in BCV group between 2 and 3 hours. In sensory evaluation, BCV group obtained the highest score for overall preference. In the measurement of color difference, BCV group was the lowest in L value(lightness) but the highest in b value(yellowness).

Open-ended coaxial probe is used to measure complex permittivities of materials in a wide bandwidth. Complex permittivity measured by a conventional coaxial probe suffers from severe fluctuation due to instrumental uncertainty when the difference between reflection coeffcients of reference and measuring materials is small. In this paper, open-ended coaxial probe with protruding inner conductor is suggested to increase the difference between reflection coefficients of reference and measuring materials. Its validity is assured by FDTD simulation and actual measurement.

Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) plans to develop a coronagraph to measure the coronal electron density, temperature, and speed using four different filters around 400 nm, where strong Fraunhofer lines from the photosphere are scattered by coronal electrons. During the total solar eclipse occurring on August 21 across USA, KASI will organize an expedition team to demonstrate the coronagraph measurement scheme and the instrumental technology. The observation site is in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, USA. We plan to build two coronagraphs without occulter to improve signal to noise ratio. In addition, images of white light corona, wide field background, and all sky are planned to be taken with DSLR cameras. We will present the preliminary results of the expedition.
