This study was carried out to compare the physicochemical characteristics of the tofu (soybean curd) with the additions of sorghum powder (SP). With increasing amounts of sorghum powder, the yields of tofu were increased. The tofu made of 5 and 7% (w/w) addition rates of SP gave the similar yields with that of control. Moisture contents of the tofu made of roasted sorghum powder after steeping for 15 hours (WR-SP) were higher than those of the control and the tofu made of roasted sorghum powder after washing (SR-SP) without steeping. The dietary fiber contents of tofu were higher in the SP-added tofu than control. The potassium contents increased with SP addition rates, while calcium and magnesium decreased. With increasing SP addition rates, hardness of the tofu decreased. With increasing amounts of SP, the L- and b-values of tofu decreased, whereas a-value increased. The total polyphenol, flavonoid and tannin contents, and ascorbic acid equivalent antioxidant capacity in the tofu extracts increased with increasing SP rates. Antioxidant components and activity were the highest in the tofu made of roasted sorghum powder after washing without steeping with the addition rates of 3-10%.

The coal-bearing siliciclastic rocks of the Lower Permian Jangseong Formation, Samcheog coalfield, represent a megacyclothem which shows cyclic repetitions of sandstone, shale, coaly shale, and coals. Petrographic, geochemical, and SEM studies for sandstone samples, and XRD analysis for clay minerals were carried out to understand diagenesis in the sandstones of the Jangseong Formation. The Jangseong sandstones are composed of 60% quartz (mainly monocrystalline quartz) and 36% clay matrix and cement with minor amounts of feldspar, lithic fragments and accessory minerals (less than 4%). Jangseong sandstones are classified mostly as quartzwackes and partly as lithic graywackes according to the scheme of Dott(1964). The textural relationships between authigenic minerals and cements in thin sections and SEM photomicrographs suggest the paragenetic sequence as follows; (1) mechanical compaction, (2) cementation by quartz overgrowth, (3) formation of authigenic clay minerals (illite, kaolinite), (4) dissolution of framework grains and development of secondary porosity, and (5) later-stage pore-filling by pyrophyllite. We propose that these diagenetic processes might be due to organic-inorganic interaction between the dominant framework grains and the formation water. The Al, Si ions and organic acid, derived from dewatering of interbedded organic-rich shale and coals, were transported into the Jangseong sandstones. This caused changes in the chemistry of the formation water of the sandstones, and resulted in overgrowth of quartz and precipitation of authigenic clay minerals of kaolinite and illite. The secondary pores, produced during dissolution of clay and framework grains by organic acid and $CO_2$ gas, were conduit for silica-rich solution into the Jangseong sandstones and the influx of silica-rich solution produced the late-stage pyrophyllite after the expanse of kaolinite. The origin of the solution that formed pyrophyllite is not likely to be the organic-rich formation water based on the observation of fracture-filling pyrophyllite in the Jangseong sandstones, but the process of pyrophyllite pore-filling was indirectly related to organic-inorganic interaction.

Metamophic rocks of Samcheog area, northeastern Yeongnam massif, was studied petrochemically. This area includes Precambrian Hosanri Formation (schists and gneisses) and granitoid (Icheon granitic gneiss, leucocratic granite and Hongjesa granite), Cambrian sedimentary rocks, and Cretaceous sedimentary and acidic volcanic rocks. Hosanri formation is composed of quartz+plagioclase+K-feldspar+biotite+muscovite+granet${\pm}$cordierite${\pm}$sillimanite. Mineral assemblage of biotite granitic gneiss, which is massive granodioritic rock with weak foliation, is similar to Hosanri formation. According to mineral assemblages, metamorphic rocks of studied area can be divided into two metamorphic zones (garnet and sillimanite zones). From Icheonri area, major, trace and rare earth element data of biotite granitic gneiss and luecocratic granite suggest that source rock is politic rocks of Hosanri formation and source magma was formed by anatexis and experienced fractionation of plagioclase. Trace element diagram show collisional environment such as syn-collisional, volcanic arc granite. Orientation of faults in study area have three maximum concentrations, $N54^{\circ}\;W/77^{\circ}\;SW,\;N49^{\circ}\;W/81^{\circ}\;NE\;and\;N10^{\circ}\;W/38^{\circ}\;NE$. Structure analysis suggests that faults in study area ware formed by uplift and compression. Faulting age is guessed after Tertiary because some shear joints is developed in dikes to intrusive Cretaceous acidic volcanic rock. Hosanri formation and Icheon granitic gneiss had experienced similar deformation history because they have maximum concentration to foliations, $N89^{\circ}\;E/55^{\circ}\;SE\;and\;N80^{\circ}\;E/45^{\circ}\;SE$, respectively.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to estimate total sugar intake and identify major food sources of total sugar intake in the diet of the Korean population. Methods: Dietary intake data of 33,745 subjects aged one year and over from the KNHANES 2008-2011 were used in the analysis. Information on dietary intake was obtained by one day 24-hour recall method in KNHANES. A database for total sugar content of foods reported in the KNHANES was established using Release 25 of the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference, a total sugar database from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, and information from nutrition labeling of processed foods. With this database, total sugar intake of each subject was estimated from dietary intake data using SAS. Results: Mean total sugar intake of Koreans was 61.4 g/person/day, corresponding to 12.8% of total daily energy intake. More than half of this amount (35.0 g/day, 7.1% of daily energy intake) was from processed foods. The top five processed food sources of total sugar intake for Koreans were granulated sugar, carbonated beverages, coffee, breads, and fruit and vegetable drinks. Compared to other age groups, total sugar intake of adolescents and young adults was much higher (12 to 18 yrs, 69.6 g/day and 19 to 29 yrs, 68.4 g/day) with higher beverage intake that beverage-driven sugar amounted up to 25% of total sugar intake. Conclusion: This study revealed that more elaborated and customized measures are needed for control of sugar intake of different subpopulation groups, even though current total sugar intake of Koreans was within the range (10-20% of daily energy intake) recommended by Dietary Reference Intakes for Koreans. In addition, development of a more reliable database on total sugar and added sugar content of foods commonly consumed by Koreans is warranted.

Optical properties of sea vater were studied in Tokyo Bay, Japan, based on the data obtained from six oceanographic station in April, 1985. The observation of surface and underwater irradiances of sea water for eight kinds of wavelength (378, 422, 481, 513, 570, 621, 653, and 677 mm) of sun light was conducted using the underwater irradiameter (Isigawa ${\sharp}SR-8$). The mean attenuation coefficient of the sea water appeared to be 0.335($0.081{\sim}0.862$) and the attenuation coefficient of the sea water for each wavelength appeared as 0.268 for 378nm, 0.354 for 422nm, 0.274 for 481nm, 0.256 for 513nm, 0.284 for 570nm, 0.356 for 621nm, 0.425 for 653nm, and 0.464 for 677nm. The transparency was 5.0m ($2.5{\sim}6.5m$), water color was 10.2 ($8{\sim}14.0$) in the study area and the sun altitude was $53.62^{\circ}$ ($38.54^{\circ}{\sim}66.23^{\circ}$). The relationship between attenuation coefficient (K) and transparency (D) was K= 2.22/D ($1.30/D{\sim}3.54/D$). The rates of light penetration for eight kinds of wavelength (378, 422, 481, 513, 570, 621, 653, and 677 nm) were computed with reference to the surface light intensity each. The mean rates of light penetration in proportion to depths were $62.72\%$ ($42.23{\sim}78.43\%$) in 1 m layer, $11.91\%$ ($1.34{\sim}29.67\%$) in 5m layer, $2.64\%$ ($0.023{\sim}8.80\%$) in 10m layer, and $0.50\%$ ($0.02{\sim}3.99\%$) in 20 m layer. The rate of light penetration at the transparency layer with reference to the surface light intensity was shown as $12.51\%$ ($2.91{\sim}27.25\%$).

Purpose: We evaluated radioisotope and sex-specific differences of normal limits for left ventricle volumes (LWs) and ejection fraction (EF) using myocardial perfusion gated SPECT (g-SPECT). Materials and Methods: Rest Tl-201/post-stress Tc-99m MIBI g-SPECT measurements with acquisitions of 8-frame were evaluated for 70 patients (mean age $55{\pm}14.56%$ female) who either had < 10% pretest likelihood of CAD (n = 12) or had normal coronary angiography (EF > 50%) (n = 58). LVEF, LWs were automatically determined by quantitative gated SPECT using QGS program. Results: Similar results were obtained for mean LVEF between Tc-99m MIBI ($62%{\pm}7%$ and Tl-201 ($63%{\pm}8%$) g-SPECT measurements. In Contrast, Tl-201 g-SPECT had significantly lower LWs values ($EDV;\;74{\pm}23mL,\;ESV;\;28{\pm}14mL$) than Tc-99m MIBI g-SPECT ($EDV;\;82{\pm}25mL,\;ESV;\;32{\pm}15mL$) (p<0.05). Women had significantly lower EDV ($Tc-99m\;MIBI;\;71{\pm}18mL,\;Tl-201;\;65{\pm}17mL$), and ESV values ($Tc-99m\;MIBI;\;27{\pm}10mL,\;Tl-201;\;23{\pm}8mL$) compared with EDV ($Tc-99m\;MIBI;\;96{\pm}27mL,\;Tl-201;\;85{\pm}24mL$), and ESV Values ($Tc-99m\;MIBI;\;40{\pm}17mL,\;Tl-201;\;36{\pm}16mL$) of men (p<0.05). Women had significantly higher LV EF Values ($65%{\pm}7%$) than men ($60%{\pm}8%$) by Tl-201 gated SPECT (p<0.05). Conclusion: These data suggest significant differeuces in normal limits for LWs and EF, according to genders and radiopharmaceutical. Therefore, the evaluation of cardiac function in patients should consider radioisotope and sex-matched normal values.

'Mogwoo', a new high yield and whole crop silage rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivar, was developed by the rice breeding team of the National Institute of Crop Science, RDA, Suwon, Korea, from 1999 to 2009, and was released in 2010. It was derived in 1999 from a cross between Dasanbyeo, having a high yield, and Suweon431/IR71190-45-2-1. A promising line, SR25848-C99-1-2-1, selected by the pedigree breeding method, was designated the name of 'Suweon 519' in 2007. This cultivar has about 155 days of growth period from seeding to heading, and is tolerance to lodging, with erect pubescent leaves as well as a long and thick culm. This cultivar has the same number of tillers per hill and higher spikelet numbers per panicle compared to Nokyang. 'Mogwoo' has longer leaves compared with other Tongil-type varieties. This new variety is resistant to grain shattering, leaf blast, bacterial leaf blight, and small brown planthopper. The biomass yield of 'Mogwoo' was 1,956 kg/10a in a regional test over three years. The result shows that 'Mogwoo' is adaptable to central and south-east plain areas of Korea.

To assess population structure and genetic diversity among the Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus), we investigated mtDNA COI gene sequences of 7 populations. Samples were obtained from Sokcho, Wolsung, Geojedo, Yeosu, Geomundo and Westsouth in 2008 and 2009 (n=28). The sequence analysis of 28 individual samples showed 8 haplotypes, ranging in sequence divergence by pairwise comparisons from 0.2 to 2.2% (1 bp-11 bp). The Gal haplotype was found in Wolsung, Geojedo, Yeosu, Geomundo and Westsouth, and was regarded as the main haplotype of Korean Pacific cod. Ga2, Ga3, Ga6 and Ga7 haplotypes were found only in Sokcho. In the PHYLIP analysis, 8 haplotypes formed two independent groups: cladeA consisted of Ga2, Ga3, Ga6 and Ga7 haplotypes, whereas cladeB contained Gal, Ga4, Ga5 and Ga8 haplotypes. The genetic relationship between the two groups was weakly supported by bootstrap analysis(<50%). In pairwise comparisons between 6 populations other than that from Sokcho, a very high per generation migration ratio ($N_m$=infinite) and a very low level of geographic distance ($F_{sr}=-0.0123-(-0.0423)$) were observed. The estimates of genetic distance between Sokcho and the other localities were all statistically significant (p<0.05, p<0.01, p<0.001), indicating a limited mtDNA-based gene flow between Sokcho and other regions. The finding of the lowest genetic diversity in the Sokcho population (nucleotide diversity=0.00589) may be a result of relatively small population size and interrupted gene flow to other localities. Consequently, the overall considerable migration of Pacific cod population in Korea caused a genetically homogeneous structure to form, although a distinct population was found in this study.
