  • The dietary patterns and characteristics of oldest-old subjects over 85 of Sunchang County (total of 171, 61 males and 110 females) were studied. The average age was $90.6{\pm}3.7$ years old (male; $89.1{\pm}2.8$, female; $91.5{\pm}3.8$), and 90.9% of them were reported to have had no schooling experience. Family types having a spouse were much greater in men (50%) than women (1.8%). The percentages of living alone showed the gender differences, which were comprised of 33% of females and 18.3% of males. In this study, 73.7% of subjects answered "very good" or "good" for their health status. These elderly subjects might maintain their health through a relatively lower rate of smoking (22.2%) and drinking (27.5%), having non-sedentary activities (84.2% of the subjects are physically active) and enough sleep. Their characteristic dietary patterns include high preference of rice (96.5%) and blanch & Seasoned vegetable dishes (Namal, 90.6%) frequent consumption of plant-based food groups containing plenty of anti-oxidants such as vegetables and legumes, and they showed high rates of meal regularity (77.2%) and no skipping of meals (94.2%). It seems to be developed and disseminated in the congregate meal program for improving nutritional status of the elderly, since the coming increment of single-elderly family and single dwellers of rural areas.

  • This study was targeted at 91 students living in a boys' high school dormitory and centered on the how the consumption of fish and vegetables changed after students were educated according to nutrition education and cooking methods. First of all, the primary investigation of the leftover amount in the beginning of the semester was conducted five times for five days from March 21st to 25th, 2011. The secondary investigation was conducted with the same diet for five days as well from December 1st to 7th. Then the tertiary investigation was performed eight times from December 12th to 30th, after cooking method changes. There was a difference of the total leftover food amount between the first grade and the second grade during the beginning of the semester, but after the nutrition education there was no difference of the leftover food amount. In particular, leavings of vegetables and fish both significantly decreased in the first grade, after the nutrition education to encourage students to eat fish and vegetables. However, there was no difference in the leftover food amount of the second-grade students who received the education before, between the beginning and the end of the semester. When cooking fish the way students preferred, they had fried fish fillets the most, followed by roasted fish fillets, roasted bone-in fish, and braised fish. There were significant differences. Regarding vegetable, students ate salad the most, followed by Geotjeori and blanch, and there were significant differences.

  • In this paper, we propose a novel branch method which improve learning effects of the digital contents using a user-friendly access method by taking any conceptual object as the unit of interface. The conceptual objects may exist as a part of one or more contents pages, and we can access them to repeat, replay or return to the original branch point, that elevates the interactions of the digital contents. This method is useful for all kinds of digital contents, but it is especially effective to make educational contents in the field of science, engineering, and language courses because they contain various conceptual elements such as blocks of modeling, mathematical equations, and memorizing units. In addition, if we realize the blanch method proposed in this paper with the conventional page-branch or title-branch methods in the same contents, user interaction will be maximized and learning effects of the contents maybe beautifully improved.

  • The dietary habits and eating behaviors of nonagenarian subjects over 90 years old in Korean representative longevity belts of Damyang, Gokseong, Kurye, Sunchang were evaluated. The subjects of the study were 91 elderly people (26 males and 65 females) over 90 years old and their dietary habits, food preferences and meal patterns were collected by individual interview. The percentage of subjects, who answered 'very good' or 'good' for their health status, was $65.9\%$. In this study, $55\%$ of subjects were without chronic diseases, and there was no significance difference in gender. Many subjects had performed regular exercise and outdoor activity. The rate of eating together with their family was $79.1\%$. Most of subjects ($91.2\%$) had a regular mealtime consuming three meals a day, and they had good appetite and pleasure of eating. The higher preference of food group was fruits ($95.6\%$), legumes ($94.5\%$), mushrooms ($93.4\%$) and vegetables ($92.3\%$), but the amount of intakes is higher in vegetables than the others. Eating with family, regular exercise and self-rated good health are improved their nutrient intakes. Most frequently consumed meal pattern was rice plus soup and side dishes. The side dish consumed frequently was Namul (blanch and seasoned vegetables). From this study, the nonagenarian populations in longevity belt in Korea have good dietary habits such as regular mealtime, constant amount of meal and eat with pleasure. They are taking Korean traditional meal pattern, providing enriched antioxidant vegetable foods. Also, it can be concluded that the amount and quality of diet in the long-lived elderly are responsible for the Korean traditional family system.

  • A quest in MMORPG functions as a unit of game narrative. It is an essential part to progress game narrative and to construct player's own storyline. In addition, it makes player to expand her territory and helps with character growth by giving reward. A quest consists of four essential elements : the quest giver, the background story, the objective and the reward. A quest shows a blanch structure with two nodes which is same as Claude Bremond's elementary sequence. The sequence of each functions cannot be changed, therefore, it can be explained through a syntagma model. On the other hand, spatial disposition of quests follows a paradigm model. In order to construct a MMORPG narrative, a player connects quests into a single narrative by carrying out them.

  • We evaluated the yield of extract, antioxidant compounds (total phenolic, total flavonoid), antioxidant (DPPH assay, ABTS assay, Oyaizu's assay, FRAP assay), and antimicrobial activities of Siraegi (dried radish greens) according to cooking process (non-blanched, blanched, seasoned). The yield of non-blanched Siraegi was 4.91%, blanched Siraegi was 0.33%, and seasoned Siraegi was 7.55%. In total polyphenol and flavonoid contents, seasoned Siraegi extracts showed higher antioxidant compounds ($129.85{\pm}0.62mg$ GAE/100 g FW, $35.56{\pm}1.19mg$ CHE/100 g FW) than non-blanched and blanched. Total antioxidant activities (DPPH assay, ABTS assay, FRAP assay, reducing power) were shown to be in the order of seasoned Siraegi > non-blanched Siraegi > blanched Siraegi. In antimicrobial activity, non-blanched Siraegi (5, 10 mg/disc) showed antimicrobial activity against B. cereus, E. cloacae, and E. coli (9.25 mm), and P. aeruginosa (9 mm) at 10 mg/disc. In terms of antimicrobial activity, non-blanched Siraegi was good but eating the dried vegetable was difficult so it is essential to blanch it. Also, with many added seasonings in the process of cooking, it can be easy to eat. Overall, the results of this study demonstrate that cooked Siraegi with seasoning would be the most efficient way of ingesting the antioxidant material.

  • The low and unstable yield of soybean has been a major problem in Japan. Excess soil moisture conditions are one of the major factors to restrict soybean productivity. More than 80 % of soybean crops are cultivated in converted paddy fields which often have poor drainage. In central and eastern regions of Japan, the early vegetative growth of soybean tends to be restricted by the flooding damage because the early growth period is overlapped with the rainy season. Field observation shows that induced excess water stress in early vegetative stage reduces dry matter production by decreasing intercepted radiation by leaf and radiation use efficiency (RUE) (Bajgain et al., 2015). Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the responses of soybean growth for excess water conditions to assess these effects on soybean productions. In this study, we aim to modify the soybean crop model (Sinclair et al., 2003) by adding the components of the restriction of leaf area development and RUE for adaptable to excess water conditions. This model was consist of five components, phenological model, leaf area development model, dry matter production model, plant nitrogen model and soil water balance model. The model structures and parameters were estimated from the data obtained from the field experiment in Tsukuba. The excess water effects on the leaf area development were modeled with consideration of decrease of blanch emergence and individual leaf expansion as a function of temperature and ground water level from pot experiments. The nitrogen fixation and nitrogen absorption from soil were assumed to be inhibited by excess water stress and the RUE was assumed to be decreasing according to the decline of leaf nitrogen concentration. The results of the modified model were better agreement with the field observations of the induced excess water stress in paddy field. By coupling the crop model and the ground water level model, it may be possible to assess the impact of excess water conditions for soybean production quantitatively.
