The purpose of this study was to determine the thermal inactivation of Salmonella enteritidis, Salmonella typhimurium and E. coli O111 in liquid cultures treated with microwave energy. Furthermore, this study was to introduce new methodologies for studying nonthermal microwave effects on microorganisms, using controlled microwave energy and specially designed apparatuses. For the automatic temperature control during microwave heating, the real time data acquisition and computation system is designed with BASIC routine. The automatic temperature control system used in the experiments perform relatively stable control at the experiment temperature of 45, 50, 55 60$^{\circ}C$ and 65$^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes. The effects of microwave heating on liquid cultures was compared with that of conventional heating, still reduces effectively the number of pathogenic bacteria in liquid cultures. While no particular differences between microwave heating and conventional heating was observed in the activation of E. coli at 45$^{\circ}C$ test, the activation of Sal. enteritidis and Sal. typhimurium was slightly reduced during the microwave treatments.

최근 기후변화와 관련하여 수많은 자연재해 현상이 빈번하게 발생하고 있다. 특히 국지적인 폭설과 관련한 자연재해는 재산상의 피해뿐만 아니라 수많은 인명피해를 야기하고 있다. 또한 적설은 단순히 방재 차원을 넘어서 물의 순환과정을 해석하는 데에도 중요한 부분으로 인식되고 있다. 특히 수문학적 측면에서 적설은 인근 하천유량 및 토양수분에 영향을 미치는 주요한 인자로서 이에 관한 세밀한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 따라서 기존의 접근 방식을 넘어서 더욱 능동이고 즉각적인 형태의 적설 관측의 필요성이 대두 되고 있는 시점이다. 지점 관측의 한계성을 보완하기 위해 인공위성에 탑재된 마이크로파 센서를 활용한 적설 관측시스템이 제안되어 이에 대한 검증도 활발히 진행되고 있다. NASA의 Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer-Earth Observing System (AMSR-E)는 마이크로파 센서로서 전 지구적인 물과 에너지 흐름에 관한 다양한 정보를 제공하고 있으며, 이중에는 적설 관측을 위하여 AMSR-E의 SNOW WATER EQUIVALENT PRODUCT (SWE)를 이용한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 한반도내에서의 관측소 실측 자료를 바탕으로 AMSR-E SWE에 대한 검증작업을 실시하였으며, 현재 인공위성을 활용한 적설관측 체계의 오차를 유발하는 요인에 대해 분석했다.

Because of abrupt changes for velocity in water, transient flow is occurred in practical life. To reduce and avoid the high or low pressure of pipe network system, various surge protection facilities are used to prevent the risk in pipe network system. Especially, we focused on study not only preventing positive and negative pressure but also selecting adequate equipment for high pressurized pipelines. Several critical cases were considered by undertaking a steady state hydraulic study and transient dynamic simulation and we suggested that the surge vessel of various surge protection system was recommended to control high and low pressures on pipeline system in perspective.

ACF preparation from different materials has been attached with great attention during these years. This study was conducted to prepare activated carbon fiber (ACF) from luffa through the processes i.e pre-treatment, pre-oxidation and carbonization activation. Besides, this study also characterizes the ACF and its effect, i.e effect of pre-oxidation time and temperature also activation time and temperature on the compressive strength of ACF were investigated. The results from SEM, BET, FTIR and XRD show that the ACF is very efficient. The products under the optimum conditions had a specific surface area of 478.441 m2 /g with an average pore diameter of 3.783nm, and a pore volume of 0.193 cm3 /g. The surface of the luffa fiber is degummed and exposed, which is beneficial to the subsequent process and the increase of product properties. The compressive strength of HP-ACF was prepared under the optimum conditions, which can reach 0.2461 MPa. ACF is rich in micro-pores and has a good application prospect in the field of environmental protection.

The age and growth of the Pacific cod, Gadus macrocephalus were investigated using left sagittal otoliths of 682 individuals collected in the West Sea of Korea from January to December 2007. The seasonal changes in the ratio of an opaque zone to interval between annular rings revealed that the narrow translucent parts of the otolith were annual growth rings formed between February and March once a year. The spawning period was December to January and therefore the duration from fertilization to the complete formation of the opaque zone became thirteen months. From the parameters calculated using the average length when the year ring was formed, the estimated von Bertalanffy growth equations were $L_t=100.0(1-e^{-0.1640(t+0.5247)})$ for females and $L_t=64.6(1-e^{-0.3335 (t+0.3342)})$ for males when is total length in age t.

This study aimed to develop a bile-responsive expression system for lactobacilli. The promoters of four genes, encoding phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent sugar phosphotransferase (mannose-specific), L-lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), HPr kinase, and D-alanine-D-alanine ligase, respectively, which were highly expressed by bile addition in Lactobacillus johnsonii PF01, were chosen. Each promoter was amplified by polymerase chain reaction and fused upstream of the ${\beta}$-glucuronidase gene as a reporter, respectively. Then, these constructs were cloned into E. coli-Lactobacillus shuttle vector pULP2, which was generated by the fusion of pUC19 with the L. plantarum plasmid pLP27. Finally, the constructed vectors were introduced into L. plantarum for a promoter activity assay. The LDH promoter showed the highest activity and its activity increased 1.8-fold by bile addition. The constructed vector maintained in L. plantarum until 80 generations without selection pressure. A bile-responsive expression vector, $pULP3-P_{LDH}$, for Lactobacillus spp. can be an effective tool for the bile-inducible expression of bioactive proteins in intestine after intake in the form of fermented dairy foods.

Meat jerky is a type of meat snack with a long shelf life, light weight, and unique sensory properties. However, meat jerky requires a long manufacturing time, resulting in high energy consumption. In this study, beef jerky was prepared by injecting different concentrations of brine at different hot-air drying times (0-800 min). When the brine injection levels were increased to 30%, the drying characteristics of beef jerky, such as drying time and effective moisture diffusivity, were significantly improved owing to the relatively high water content and the formation of porous structures. The physicochemical properties (e.g. meat color, porosity, shear force, and volatile basic nitrogen) of the beef jerky injected with 30% brine were improved owing to the shortened drying time. Scanning electron microscopy images showed that the beef jerky structure became porous and irregular during the brine injection process. Our novel processing technique for manufacturing beef jerky leads to improved quality characteristics and shortened drying times.

Four sterigmata of papillaform E. violaceobrunneum are developed from crator-shaped basidium. The apex of sterigma is swollen to a small globeform. And then it is swollen to a clubform. The clubform is again swollen to a ellipticalform, and then more than six spots of spore surfaces are ramdomly depressed with hilum axes. When the depression of surface of a elliptical spore is over, the spore is a heterodiametrical spore of multi-angular.

New Korean lumbricids are described: Eisenia gaga Blakemore sp. nov. from remote Gageodo Island and E. sindo Blakemore, sp. nov. from an island at Incheon. Both are comparable to Eisenia koreana (Zicsi, 1972) from near Pyongyang, North Korea. A remarkable yet previously unrecognized similarity to American earthworm Eisenoides carolinensis (Michaelsen, 1910) is discussed, but synonymy is rejected on tenuous morphological grounds (form of nephridial vesicle bladders) with taxonomy supported by objective molecular data (mtDNA cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 barcodes).

E-business managers must make a profit on the goods and services they sell. But e-business retailers are still searching for strategies that work. To test current practices, we became 'phantom shoppers' and bought a randomly chosen set of CDs from a variety of E-business manager. Our findings suggest that order management and logistics skills are pivotal for selling profitably on the Website. In this article, we show how e-business managers can deploy resources creatively to attract the right shoppers, convert these shoppers into buyers, and improve the chances of repeat purchase while maintaining profit margins.
