Wheat gluten-chitosan composite film (WGCCF) can prevent moisture migration and enhance the antimicrobial properties of gluten in intermediate-moisture foods like sandwiches. To mimic the structure of actual sandwich-type products we developed multi-layer food models, where moisture content and water activity differ. Water activity gradients direct moisture migration and therefore determine product characteristics and product stability. A 10% wheat gluten film-forming solution was mixed with chitosan film-forming solution (0-3%, w/w) and evaporated to generate WGCCF. Addition of 3% chitosan enhanced the mechanical properties of the film composite, lowered its water vapor permeability, and improved its ability to protect against both, Streptococcus faecalis and Escherichia coli, in a 24 hr sandwich test (reduction of 1.3 and 2.7 log cycles, respectively, compared to controls). Best barrier and antimicrobial performance was found for 3% chitosan WGCCF at pH 5.1. Film of this type may find application as barrier film for intermediate-moisture foods.

Objectives: Tongue moisture is one of major features in tongue diagnosis of Oriental Medicine. But with regard to the methods to qualify the tongue moisture level, there have been no adequate modalities to satisfy clinicians' needs. So we developed an novel device and method to quantify the tongue moisture level without contact. Methods and Materials: Ratio of saturated area to total tongue area in the image captured with a spot light at various angles was calculated. We regarded that ratio represented the moisture of tongue surface. To evaluate the performance of suggested method, we observed the correlation between conventional contact method and our method with 19 healthy subjects. Results: With comparison to conventional contact method (Schirmer test), the suggested method showed good correlation (R = 0.8602, R2 = 0.7399). Conclusion: This Method could be a convenient and robust method to evaluate tongue moisture.

Recently pipe-framed greenhouses are widely constructed on domestic farm area. These greenhouses are extremely light-weighted structures and so are easily damaged under strong wind due to the lack of uplift resistance of foundation piles. This experiment was carried out by laboratory soil tank to investigate the displacement be haviors of cylindrical pile foundations according to the uplift loads. Tested soils were sampled from two different greenhouse areas. The treatment for each soil type are consisted of 3 different soil moisture conditions, 2 different soil depths, and 3 different soil compaction ratios. Each test was designed to be repeated 2 times and additional tests were carried out when needed. The results are summarized as follows : 1. When the soil moisture content are low and/or pile foundations are buried relatively shallow, ultimate uplift capacity of foundation soil was generated just after begining of uplift displacement. But under the high moisture conditions and/or deeply buried depth, ultimate up-lift capacity of foundation soil was generated before the begining of uplift displacement. 2. For the case of soil S$_1$, the ultimate uplift capacity of piles depending on moisture contents was found to be highest in optimum moisture condition and in the order of air dryed and saturated moisture contents. But for the case of soil S$_2$, the ultimate uplift capacity was found to be highest in optimum moisture condition and in the order of saturated and air dryed moisture contents. 3. Ultimate uplift capacities are varied depending on the pile foundation soil moisture conditions. Under the conditions of optimum soil moisture contents with 60cm soil depth, the ultimate uplift capacity of pile foundation in compaction ratio of 80%, 85%, and 90% for soil 51 are 76kg, 115kg, and 155kg, respectively, and for soil S$_2$are 36kg, 60kg, and 92kg, respectively. But considering that typical greenhouse uplift failure be occurred under saturnted soil moisture content which prevails during high wind storm accompanying heavy rain, pile foundation is required to be designed under the soil condition of saturated moisture content. 4. Approximated safe wind velosities estimated for soil sample S$_1$and S$_2$are 32.92m/s and 26.58m/s respectively under the optimum soil condition of 90% compaction ratio and optimum moisture content. But considering the uplift failure pattern under saturated moisture contents which are typical situations of high wind accompanying heavy rain, the safe wind velosities for soil sample S$_1$and S$_2$are not any higher than 20.33m/s and 22.69m/s respectively.

Accurate and optimal water supply to cereal crop is critical in growing stalks and producing maximum yields. Excessive soil moisture may cause nutrient deficiencies and oxygen deficiency. Excessive soil water during crop growth stages results in decrease of yields. In Korea, the largest agricultural lands are paddy fields. Recently, upland crops are cultivated in paddy field soils to reduce overproduced rice in Korea. In order to success this policy, it is necessary to fully understand crop response to excessive soil moisture condition from paddy field soils. Adzuki bean is one of major legumes which provide protein in daily diet. Adzuki bean has been well know its weakness to excessive soil moisture condition, In order to obtain optimal yields of adzuki bean from paddy field cultivation, it is necessary to understand response of adzuki bean under different soil moisture conditions. This study investigated characteristics of growths, yields and response degree of water stress from adzuki bean. Three cultivars were selected for this study; Chungju, Hongeon, and Arari. All adzuki beans were cultivated in a paddy field which was divided into three sections with different soil moistures. The paddy field was located in Milyang, Gyeongsangnam during 2016. One section of the paddy field had the greatest average soil moisture content as 35.1% during adzuki bean cultivation (very poor). The second greatest soil moisture section had 32.6% (somewhat poor) and the smallest soil moisture section had 28.9% of soil moisture (somewhat well). During cultivation of three cultivar adzuki beans, soil moisture contents and groundwater levels were monitored. All the characteristics of growth and yield components were measured; height, thickness, 100 seed weights etc. Stress index values were calculated by Stress Day Index (SDI). All cultivars had the greatest yields from somewhat well section. Chungju had the greatest yields throughout all three sections compared to other cultivars. Chungju had 81% greater yield than Hongeon which had the smallest yield from somewhat well section. Arari set in middle from all sections. However there was no significant differences yields from very poor and somewhat poor sections. Leaf SPAD values tended to decrease and stable carbon isotope values increased as soil moisture increased. However, Chungju had no difference across different soil moistures in SPAD and stable carbon isotope values, while Hongeon had the greatest differences across sections. These trends followed by SDI values. Chungju had the smallest SDI values compared to other cultivars, which meant that Chungju was the strongest tolerance against excessive soil moisture than other cultivars. All three cultivars showed severe decrease of yields from very poor and somewhat poor sections. Arari and Hongeon showed great decrease from somewhat well section compared to yields from upland soil. These two cultivars may not be proper cultivating in paddy fields. In conclusion, adzuki bean is very sensitive to soil moisture condition and detailed soil managements are required to obtain optimal yields of adzuki bean from paddy field cultivation.

토양수분은 사면에서의 수문학적 과정의 가장 중요한 요소이며, 불포화대에서의 흐름을 결정하는 중요요소이다. 본 연구는 전이함수모형을 이용하여 토양수분의 시간적 공간적 분포 양상을 인지하고자 한다. 이를 위하여, 광릉 수목원 슈퍼사이트 원두부 소유역 내에서 TDR을 이용하여 2시간 간격으로 연속 측정한 10cm 깊이의 토양수분 결과를 전이함수를 통하여 분석하였다. 강우 자료를 입력변수로, 지표면으로부터 10cm 깊이의 실측 토양수분 자료를 출력변수로 선정하여 단일 입출력 전이함수를 전개하였다. 토양수분의 계절적인 변화를 분석하기 위해 5월과 9월의 전이함수를 비교하였다. 시계열 전이 함수는 크게 자료의 전처리, 모형구조의 규명, 후보 모형군의 구성, 모수추정, 모형진단 등의 과정을 통해서 전개되며 10cm 깊이의 토양수분과 강우의 상관관계를 보여준다. 도출한 전이함수 시계열 모형에서 10cm 깊이의 토양수분은 강우에 의한 영향이 지배적이었으며, 지점별 경사에 따라 토양수분의 변동성이 크게 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 이는 10cm 깊이의 토양수분 변동량은 각 지점의 경사보다 강우에 의한 반응이 우세하다는 것을 시사한다. 계절별로 상이한 모의 결과는 식생의 활동이 활발한 5월에는 식생이 토양수분 이동에 많은 영향을 미치며 식생이 토양수분을 해석하는데 중요한 변수로 작용함을 나타낸다. 본 연구 결과는 광릉 산림과 같은 복잡 경관에서 토양수분의 분포를 이해하는 기반자료가 될 것으로 기대된다.

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)를 활용하여 토양수분을 산출 할 시 기존의 위성기반 자료에 비해 고해상도의 공간 자료를 생산할 수 있다. 고해상도의 광역 토양수분 자료는 기존의 위성 기반 토양수분 대비 보다 세밀한 지표면 토양수분 변동 관측이 가능하게 하므로, 산사태, 산불 및 홍수와 같은 자연재해 연구에 활용성이 뛰어나다. 하지만 SAR 신호인 후방산란계수는 토양수분 뿐만 아니라, 식생에 의한 영향도 포함하기 때문에 정확한 토양수분을 산정하기 위해서는 이러한 영향을 고려하는 단계가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 한반도 중부의 농지, 산지, 및 초지의 식생조건 하에서 Sentinel-1 위성 SAR 자료를 활용하여 토양수분을 산정하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 식생의 영향을 고려하기 위해 대표적인 지표면 레이더 신호 산란 모형인 Water Cloud Model (WCM)을 사용하였으며, 식생 인자로 Radar Vegetation Index (RVI)를 활용하였다. 연구 지역으로는 토지피복도에 따라 농지와 초지, 산지 각각 2개 지역, 총 6개 대상 지역을 선정하였다. WCM의 매개변수 모의를 위해 지상 관측 토양수분 자료를 활용하였다. 관측 토양수분과의 검증 결과 초지, 산지, 농지 순으로 높은 정확도가 나타났으며, 특히 산지에서는 짙은 식생에도 불구하고 상관계수 값이 0.5 이상으로 나타난 반면 농지에서는 0.3 미만의 매우 낮은 값이 관측되었다. 연구 결과를 통해 다양한 식생 피복에서 SAR 기반 토양수분 산정에 적합한 관측 토양수분 조건을 제시 하였다. 향후 식생 높이, 식생 종류 등 과 융합한 연구가 수행된다면 보다 정확한 토양수분을 산정 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
