This study was conducted to investigate the influence of dietary sardine oil on storage and processing characteristics in meat sample of chicken meat. Broilers were randomly assigned to one of four dietary treatments: 1) Control(commercial feed) 2) T1(commercial feed supplemented with 1% sardine oil) 3) T2(commercial feed with 2% sardine oil) and 4) T3(commercial feed with 4% sardine oil). They were fed one of the experimental diets for five weeks and slaughtered. After that, the meat samples were vacuum packaged and stored at 4$\pm$1$\^{C}$. The storage and processing characteristics were analyzed for meat samples stored over a period of 0, 1, 3, 7 and 10 days. The pH of all treatments significantly increased during the storage periods (p<0.05). The TBARS(thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) af all treatments were significantly increased as storage period extended (p<0.05). After 1 days, the TBARS of treatment groups were significantly higher than that of the control (p<0.05). The T3 showed the highest TBARS among all treatments (p<0.05). The VBN(volatile basic nitrogen) of all treatments significantly increased during storage period (p<0.05). However, the VBN was not significantly different between control and treatment groups. The WHC(water holding capacity) and heating loss were significantly increased in both control and treatment groups during storage (p<0.05) and however, WHC was not significantly different among 3 treatment. The heating loss tended to increase in treatment groups compared to the control.

In order to examine the traits of sluice gate water control, halophyte community formation and their inter-relations in Saemangeum, both water level condition and halophyte community formation were analyzed periodically and spatially on the topographic map with Surfer, Saemageum Spatial Analysis System, and related field reports. The traits of water level condition are that average water level in the growing period of halophytes was similar to annual average water level, annual low level and high level appeared in the growing period, and water level was usually maintained within a range of -1.0m~0.5m above mean sea level, but it has changed more frequently year by year. Routine water level control, natural disaster prevention, construction, and civil appeal took major percentages of the reasons for sluice gate's opening and shutting. Since 2007, not only the overall control frequency of sluice gate but also its control frequency for construction and natural disaster prevention have increased outstandingly. Halophyte community had formed at a rate of 1,209ha/year in the 4,315 ha land in 2008, 6.3 times larger than in 2005, and 2,382 ha above around 1.0m was estimated to be artificially vegetated, 89.1 % of the 2,673ha-size sown area. High water level was found to be a more possible determinant than average water level or low water level in halophyte community formation and it was thought to be secondary factors whether tillage was conducted or/and whether surface sealing formed.

In order to extend the shelf-life of the low-salted Myungran-Jeot, before immersing alaska pollack roe, the salt solutions was adjusted to pH 7.0 and 4.7, respectively. pH during ripening was somewhat constant, whereas the content of lactic acid was slightly increased, and especially, that of pH 4.7 Myungran-Jeot was increased rapidly in the begining of fermentation period. $NH_2-N$ content of pH 4.7 Myungran-Jeot was increased with increasing fermentation period, whereas those of control and pH 7.0 decreased except the begining of fermentation period. The contents of TMA, TBA, and VBN of pH 4.7 were lower than those of control and pH 7.0. In addition, the mirrobial growth was significantly inhibited in pH 4.7 Myungran-Jeot. The estimated shelflives of control, pH 7.0, and pH 4.7 Myungran-Jeots were about 12, 12, and 16 days, respectively.

This study investigated the effect of dietary supplementation with cysteamine hydrochloride (CSH) on the growth performance and nutrient digestibility of broilers. A total of 180 one-day-old male Ross broilers were allotted to one of the three treatment groups with three replications (20 birds per replication). The experimental groups were as follows: control group (basal diet), CSH-1 group (basal diet + 250 mg CSH/kg feed), and CSH-2 group (basal diet + 500 mg CSH/kg feed). During the grower period, feed intake, body weight, average daily gain, feed conversion ratio (FCR), and livability did not show any variation among the treatment groups. On the other hand, a comprehensive evaluation of the finisher period and the entire experiment period found that FCR was significantly improved in CSH-1 and CSH-2 groups as compared to the control group (p<0.05). The dietary supplementation of CSH did not affect the carcass and meat percent (breast and leg muscle). Although there was no significant difference, the digestibility of organic matter tended to be higher in the CSH-2 group than in the control group (p<0.1). This study suggests that a dietary supplement with 250-500 mg/kg CSH can be effective in improving FCR and the digestibility of organic matter in broilers.

This study compared and analyzed the physiochemical and quality characteristics of young radish kimchi made with YR-FNC or YR-GC cultivated by organic farming as well as kimchi made with young radish cultivated by chemical composting/general farming (YR-Control). YR-Control showed higher contents of water and crude protein than YR-FNC and YR-GC kimchi but lower contents of crude ash, dietary fiber, and vitamin C. YR-FNC and YR-GC kimchi also showed higher contents of P and Cu than YR-Control but lower contents of N, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, and Zn. YR-Control fermentation progressed faster than that of YR-FNC or YR-GC after 24 days, and YR-Control more rapidly reached an appropriate pH. On the other hand, YR-FNC and YR-GC kimchi fermentation progressed slow and did not reach a pH level below 5.3. For period of fermentation, YR-Control and YR-FNC kimchi showed no significant difference in reducing sugar content, whereas that of YR-GC kimchi decreased significantly after 24 days of fermentation (P<0.002). YR-FNC and YR-GC kimchi showed 1.5~3 times higher total polyphenol and flavonoid contents than YR-Control at the beginning of fermentation, whereas YR-Control and YR-FNC kimchi showed a significant increase in total polyphenol and flavonoid contents during the fermentation period. By day 7 of fermentation, YR-FNC kimchi showed higher contents of lactic acid bacteria and total microbes than YR-Control. In the sensory evaluation, YR-FNC and YR-GC kimchi showed higher preference values than YR-Control. Therefore, kimchi made from young radish cultivated by organic farming has a longer freshness period than control kimchi and is characterized by excellent sensory quality, increased physiological contents, and improved beneficial health effects.

In this study, a shift control algorithm far improving the shift quality of a parallel hybrid drivetrain with an automated manual transmission (AM) is proposed. The general AMT requires the sophisticated control of clutch in the clutch engagement to improve its shift characteristics, and that is generally known to be difficult. But in this hybrid drivetrain, we can control the speeds of clutch plates by engine and motor control, and it provides the easier clutch control in shift process than general AMT. Additionally, it permits the much-reduced shift shock. The motor control during the shift period is also to achieve reduced velocity drop of the vehicle in comparison with that of a general AMT. Furthermore various dynamometer-based experiments are carried out to prove the validity of the proposed shift control algorithm.

Model predictive direct power control (MPDPC) is a widely recognized high-performance control strategy for a three-phase grid-connected pulse width modulation (PWM) rectifier. Unlike those of conventional grid-connected PWM rectifiers, the active and reactive powers of permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG)-connected PWM rectifiers, which are used in electromagnetic transmitters, cannot be calculated as the product of voltage and current because the back electromotive force (EMF) of the generator cannot be measured directly. In this study, the predictive power model of the rectifier is obtained by analyzing the relationship among flux, back EMF, active/reactive power, converter voltage, and stator current of the generator. The concept of duty cycle control in the proposed MPDPC is introduced by allocating a fraction of the control period for a nonzero vector and rest time for a zero vector. When nonzero vectors and their duration in the predefined cost function are simultaneously evaluated, the global power ripple minimization is obtained. Simulation and experimental results prove that the proposed MPDPC strategy with duty cycle control for the PMSG-connected PWM rectifier can achieve better control performance than the conventional MPDPC-SVM with grid-connected PWM rectifier.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the long-term care hospital nurse's recognition and performance level of hospital infection control. The subjects of the study were 147 long-term care hospital nurses. The period of data collection was from April 1 to 30, 2013. The data were analyzed by SPSS 19.0 program. The result are as followed; First, the total average scores of the recognition and performance by long-term care hospital nurses of hospital infection control were $4.64{\pm}0.32$ and $4.21{\pm}0.23$. Second, recognition of hospital infection control was significantly different according to position and hospital infection control education experience. Performance of hospital infection control was significantly different according to education level and hospital infection control education experience. Third, there was a positive correlation between the degree of recognition and performance of hospital infection control. Therefore, it is suggested to apply the concrete education program to enhance the recognition in order to improve the performance of hospital infection control of the Long-term hospital nurses.

Semi-active isolation systems based on leverage-type stiffness control strategies have been widely studied. The main concept behind this type of system is to adjust the stiffness in the isolator to match the fundamental period of the isolated system by using a simple leverage mechanism. Although this system achieves high performance under far-field earthquakes, it is unsuitable for near-fault strong ground motion. To overcome this problem, this study considers the potential energy effect in the control law of the semi-active isolation system. The minimal energy weighting (MEW) between the potential energy and kinetic energy was first optimized through a series of numerical simulations. Two MEW algorithms, namely generic and near-fault MEW control, were then developed to efficiently reduce the structural displacement responses. To demonstrate the performance of the proposed method, a two-degree-of-freedom structure was employed as a benchmark. Numerical results indicate that the dynamic response of the structure can be effectively dampened by the proposed MEW control under both far-field and near-fault earthquakes, whereas the structural responses resulting from conventional control methods may be greater than those for the purely passive control method. Moreover, according to experimental verifications, both the generic and near-fault MEW control modes yielded promising results under impulse-like earthquakes. The practicability of the proposed control algorithm was verified.

Objective: The outbreak of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) started in South Korea in May 2015 and the end of crisis was declared in December 2015 by Korea Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC). However, Zika virus emerged in less than 2 months following MERS and showed higher mortality than other countries. This study is to assess the current prevention system of overseas infectious diseases, based on MERS and Zika virus outbreak and to suggest effective response system for the future. Methods: We conducted two surveys on medical specialists working at tertiary general hospitals regarding the effectiveness of responding system by KCDC against MERS and Zika virus and education in individual medical institutions using 5-Likert points. Response system was examined in three different periods as initial period, spreading period, and post disease period. Results: Although medical specialists received the notifications in initial period, no practical prevention was proven to be placed in responding stage by medical facilities (averagely 3.5/5 points in total and sub-analyses). During spreading period, there were several academic seminars conducted, which were evaluated as helpful. In post disease period, all answered that there were changes on patient treatment in all medical facilities, with mainly report system and the treatment regulations in case of suspicious patients for infection. Only 49% respondents answered positive on the possibility of initial responses. For questionnaire items regarding Zika virus, all answered that there were notifications prior to the first outbreak of the infected patient. Eighty% of respondents were aware of 'the Guideline system for traveling to dangerous areas', and answered that the system was moderately effective (averagely 3.8/5 points in total). For the effectiveness of prevention measures for foreign novel disease by KCDC, the average point was 3.0 in both of total and sub-analyses. Conclusion: There is not enough response system to prevent infectious disease in medical institutional and governmental levels in Korea. It would warrant the modification of overall medical system to improve preventive measures for initial spread of such diseases.
