  • 우리나라 딸기는 시설재배 발전과 품종개발로 겨울을 대표하는 과일로 변신하였다. 이는 저온단일에서 꽃이 만들어져 착과되는 생태적(일계성)특성 때문이다. 우리나라의 딸기 정식기는 95%이상이 촉성작형으로 9월 중순 정식한 후 11월 하순부터 이듬해 5월 하순까지 약 6개월간 수확한다. 반대로 여름작형은 고온장일에서 꽃이 만들어져 착과되는 사계성 품종을 이용하는데 우리나라 500m 이상의 산간 고랭지에서 3-4월에 정식한 후 6월부터 11월까지 수확하지만 생산량은 전체의 0.3% 미만이다. 또한 여름딸기는 제과용으로만 사용되고 있어 6월부터 11월 사이에 신선딸기의 단경기가 발생된다. 이러한 문제를 재배적으로 해결하기 위해 일계성 품종을 이용하여 겨울부터 봄까지 포기냉장한 후 여름과 가을에 꺼내어 정식하면 45일 내외에 수확하는 주냉장 억제작형을 시도하였으나 우리나라에선 실용성이 떨어져 사라져간 기술이다. 그러나 네덜란드는 우리나라와 같은 주냉장기술을 활용(Waiting bed system, Table top system)하여 여름과 가을철에도 딸기를 생산하고 있다. 이 작형은 냉장기간이 길고 재배기술도 까다로울 뿐만아니라 1화방만 수확하여 수량성이 낮은 단점이 있다. 한편 미국에서는 일계성 품종이 품질은 좋으나 고온기에 꽃대발생이 어렵고 사계성은 품질이 떨어지는 단점을 극복하기 위해 일장의 길이와 관계없이 꽃대가 형성되는 중일성 딸기 품종을 보급하여 세계적으로 가장 많은 재배면적을 점유하고 있다. 연중생산이 가능한 중일성 품종을 개발하기 위해 먼저 유전자원을 수집하였고 품질이 좋은 일계성 품종을 중일성 품종과 교배하여 채종하였다. 교배종자를 파종하여 묘를 만든 후 정식하여 실생개체를 선발한 결과 고온장일 조건에서 개화되는 사계성(중일성)율은 약 10-20% 범위로 매우 낮았다. 선발된 우량계통은 영양번식을 통해 증식하여 생산력, 특성, 지역적응성 검정과정을 통해 품종을 개발하였다. 이렇게 단교잡에 의한 중일성 품종 선발육종은 선발율이 0.05%으로 매우 낮았다. 이렇게 우리나라 최초의 중일성딸기 '고슬' 품종이 개발되었다. 이 '고슬'은 9월부터 수확이 가능한데 이 때의 딸기 가격이 kg당 20,000원 이상으로 높으며, 수확기간은 '설향'보다 4개월 더 길게 재배가 가능하다. 연중재배를 위해서는 항상 8-25℃의 범위을 유지해야 품질이 높아지므로 재배관리가 중요하다. 흰가루병에는 저항성이 있으나 시들음병과 탄저병에는 약하고 당도와 경도가 높고, 향이 매우 진하다. 식물공장에서 매우 인기가 있는데 안정된 꽃대발생과 대과, 고당도와 함께 수술의 화분량이 많아 수정이 잘되는 특성으로 식물공장 사업이 확장되고 있는 중동나라에서도 로열티 계약(UAE 등)이 예정되어 있다. 1년 연중 개화되고 착과되는 특성으로 가정에서 기르는 반려식물로도 인기가 있다. 또한 아열대 고랭지대는 항상 서늘한 날씨이기 때문에 한번 정식후 1년 연중생산이 가능하여 2023년 베트남과 로열티 계약(1.6억원)을 하였다. 또한 '고슬'은 우리나라 신선딸기 수출 단경기에 생산되어 주년생산 수출체계에도 기여할 것으로 본다.

  • Carbon dioxide, emitted by human activities since the industrial revolution, is regarded as a major contributor of global warming. There are many efforts to mitigate climate change, and carbon dioxide capture and geological storage (CCS) is recognized as one of key technologies because it can reduce carbon dioxide emissions from large point sources such as a power station or other industrial installation. The inclusion of CCS as clean development mechanism (CDM) project activities has been considered at UNFCCC as financial incentive mechanisms for those developing countries that may wish to deploy the CCS. Although the Conference of the Parties serving as the Meeting of the Parties to the UNFCCC's Kyoto Protocol (CMP), at Cancun in December 2010, decided that CCS is eligible as CDM project activities, the issues identified in decision 2/CMP.5 should be addressed and resolved in a satisfactory manner. Major issues regarding modalities and procedure are 1) Site selection, 2) Monitoring, 3) Modeling, 4) Boundaries, 5) Seepage Measuring and Accounting, 6) Trans-Boundary Effects, 7) Accounting of Associated Project Emissions (Leakage), 8) Risk and Safety Assessment, and 9) Liability Under the CDM Scheme. The CMP, by its decision 7/CMP.6, invited Parties to submit their views to the secretariat of Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA), SBSTA prepared a draft modalities and procedure by exchanging views of Parties through workshop held in Abu Dhabi, UAE (September 2011). The 7th CMP (Durban, December 2011) finally adopted the modalities and procedures for CCS as CDM project activities (CMP[2011], Decision-/CMP.7). The inclusion of CCS as CDM project activities means that CCS is officially accredited as one of $CO_2$ reducing technologies in global carbon market. Consequently, it will affect relevant technologies and industry as well as law and policy in Korea and aboard countries. This paper presents a progress made on discussion and challenges regarding the issue, and aims to suggest some considerations to policy makers in Korea in order to demonstrate and deploy the CCS project in the near future. According to the adopted modalities and procedures for CCS as CDM project activities, it is possible to implement relevant CCS projects in Non-Annex I countries, including Korea, as long as legal and regulatory frameworks are established. Though Korea enacted 'Framework Act on Low Carbon, Green Growth', the details are too inadequate to content the requirements of modalities and procedures for CCS as CDM project. Therefore, it is required not only to amend the existing laws related with capture, transport, and storage of $CO_2$ for paving the way of an prompt deployment of CCS CDM activities in Korea as a short-term approach, but also to establish the united framework as a long-term approach.

  • The purpose of this study was to determine the optimum ethanol extraction conditions for maximum extraction of functional components such as ferulic acid, oryzanol, and toopherol from black rice bran using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). A central composite design was applied to investigate the effects of the independent variables of solvent ratio ($X_{1}$), extraction temperature ($X_{2}$) and extraction time ($X_{3}$) on the dependent variables such as total phenol components ($Y_{1}$), total flavonoids compounds ($Y_{2}$), electron donating ability ($Y_{3}$), $\gamma$-oryzanol ($Y_{4}$), ferulic acid ($Y_{5}$) and $\alpha$-toopherol components ($Y_{6}$). ANOVA results showed that coefficients of determination (R-square) of estimated models for dependent variables ranged from 0.8939 to 0.9470. It was found that solvent ratio and extraction temperature were the main effective factors in this extraction proess. Particularly, the extraction efficiency of ferulic acid, $\gamma$-oryzanol and $\alpha$-toopherol components were significantly affected by extraction temperature. As a result, optimum extraction conditions were 20.35 mL/g of solvent ratio, 79.4$^{\circ}C$ of extraction temperature and 2.88 hr of extraction time. Predicted values at the optimized conditions were acceptable when compared with experimental values.

  • Information and communication and home appliance industries, which were one of South Korea's main industries, are gradually losing their export share as their export competitiveness is weakening. This study objectively analyzed export competitiveness and suggested export-promising countries in order to help South Korea's information communication and home appliance industries improve exports. In this study, network properties, centrality, and structural hole analysis were performed during network analysis to evaluate export competitiveness. In order to select promising export countries, we proposed a new variable that can take into account the characteristics of an already established International Trade Network (ITN), that is, the Global Value Chain (GVC), in addition to the existing economic factors. The conditional log-odds for individual links derived from the Exponential Random Graph Model (ERGM) in the analysis of the cross-border trade network were assumed as a proxy variable that can indicate the export potential. In consideration of the possibility of ERGM linkage, a parametric approach and a non-parametric approach were used to recommend export-promising countries, respectively. In the parametric method, a regression analysis model was developed to predict the export value of the information and communication and home appliance industries in South Korea by additionally considering the link-specific characteristics of the network derived from the ERGM to the existing economic factors. Also, in the non-parametric approach, an abnormality detection algorithm based on the clustering method was used, and a promising export country was proposed as a method of finding outliers that deviate from two peers. According to the research results, the structural characteristic of the export network of the industry was a network with high transferability. Also, according to the centrality analysis result, South Korea's influence on exports was weak compared to its size, and the structural hole analysis result showed that export efficiency was weak. According to the model for recommending promising exporting countries proposed by this study, in parametric analysis, Iran, Ireland, North Macedonia, Angola, and Pakistan were promising exporting countries, and in nonparametric analysis, Qatar, Luxembourg, Ireland, North Macedonia and Pakistan were analyzed as promising exporting countries. There were differences in some countries in the two models. The results of this study revealed that the export competitiveness of South Korea's information and communication and home appliance industries in GVC was not high compared to the size of exports, and thus showed that exports could be further reduced. In addition, this study is meaningful in that it proposed a method to find promising export countries by considering GVC networks with other countries as a way to increase export competitiveness. This study showed that, from a policy point of view, the international trade network of the information communication and home appliance industries has an important mutual relationship, and although transferability is high, it may not be easily expanded to a three-party relationship. In addition, it was confirmed that South Korea's export competitiveness or status was lower than the export size ranking. This paper suggested that in order to improve the low out-degree centrality, it is necessary to increase exports to Italy or Poland, which had significantly higher in-degrees. In addition, we argued that in order to improve the centrality of out-closeness, it is necessary to increase exports to countries with particularly high in-closeness. In particular, it was analyzed that Morocco, UAE, Argentina, Russia, and Canada should pay attention as export countries. This study also provided practical implications for companies expecting to expand exports. The results of this study argue that companies expecting export expansion need to pay attention to countries with a relatively high potential for export expansion compared to the existing export volume by country. In particular, for companies that export daily necessities, countries that should pay attention to the population are presented, and for companies that export high-end or durable products, countries with high GDP, or purchasing power, relatively low exports are presented. Since the process and results of this study can be easily extended and applied to other industries, it is also expected to develop services that utilize the results of this study in the public sector.
