It's not easy to detect the high quality and functional compounds for control quality of food materials. The electronic nose was an instrument, which comprised of an array of electronic chemical sensors with partial specificity and an appropriate pattern recognition system, capable of recognizing simple or complex odors. It can conduct fast analysis and provide simple and straightforward results and is best suited for quality control and process monitoring in the field of functional foods. Numbers of applications of an electronic nose in the functional food industry include discrimination of habitats for medicinal food materials, monitoring storage process, lipid oxidation, and quality control of food and/or processing with principal component analysis, neural network analysis and the electronic nose based on GC-SAW sensor. The electronic nose would be possibly useful for a wide variety of quality control in the functional food and plant cultivation when correlating traditional analytical instrumental data with sensory evaluation results or electronic nose data.

A variety of pattern recognition algorithms including neural networks may be applicable to the identification of odors. In this paper, an identification technique for an electronic odor sensing system applicable to wound state monitoring is presented. The performance of the radial basis function(RBF) network is highly dependent on the choice of centers and widths in basis function. For the fine tuning of centers and widths, those parameters are initialized by an ill-conditioned genetic fuzzy c-means algorithm, and the distribution of input patterns in the very first stage, the stochastic gradient(SG), is adapted. The adaptive RBF network with singular value decomposition(SVD), which provides additional adaptation capabilities to the RBF network, is used to process data from array-based gas sensors for early detection of wound infection in burn patients. The primary results indicate that infected patients can be distinguished from uninfected patients.

It may be necessary to apply a daily fever to operate the municipal solid waste landfill. The daily cover helps to control nuisance factors such as the escape of odors, dusts and airborne emissions, and can control the population of disease vectors. Also it may be reduce the infiltration of rain, decreasing the generation of leachate and the potential for surface water and groundwater contamination. Because of its usual availability and traditional usage as the municipal solid waste landfill, soil remains as the most common daily cover material. However, soil tends to reduce the volume of dumping waste c;3pacity in the landfill, it also reduces a period of using in the landfill. Therefore, it is necessary to research about Alternative Daily Cover Materials (ADCMs) because of the limitation of landfill sites. Recently, The types of ADCMs are classified into geosynthetics, forms, spray-ons, indigenous materials. In this study, the authors have tested the spray type of Alternative Daily Cover(ADC) using by flyash, alum with cement. The development. of ADCMs will be highly effective in terms of prolongation using landfill.

Recent research in composting greenhouse has focused on some of the fundamental properties during the process such as temperature , carbon dioxide content and odors which change as the composting progresses. The composting greenhouse of cattle manure with rice hulls by a forced aeration method without turning is available for the practical proposition. The control of a predetermined temperature range(45-65$^{\circ}C$) is possible if intermittent aeration is used. The carbon dioxide concentration was maintained in the range from 400 to 2650 ppm by the intermittent aeration. The ammonia emission rose rapidly leading to a temperature increase of composting material up to more than 60$^{\circ}C$ for six days. Ammonia emission declined quickly and could hardly be detected after 10 days of running period.

Different masking materials were evaluated for their ability to ameliorate odor of model poultry manure solution by assessing their effects on sensory pleasantness and odor intensity. Results indicated extracts from Eastern red cedar leaves, Loblolly pine needles', and commercial masking agents such as pine extract and odor neutralizer were effective (p<0.05) for masking odor of model poultry manure solution by increasing (p<0.05) pleasantness (82 and 86% increases in pleasantness using red cedar and pine needle extracts, respectively) and decreasing (p<0.05) odor intensity (odor intensity reduction by 66 and 76% using red cedar pine needle extract). The most odor-active compound in Loblolly pine needle extract was ${\alpha}$-terpineol (1,573.8 ug/g) which is responsible for aroma of pine trees (piney) and effective for ameliorating agricultural odors.

Industrialization has given humanity many benefits, such as material abundance and conveniences. However, it has also caused detrimental side effects to the environment which are becoming a global problem. During the 1960's, the national economic scale in Korea was expanded and personal lifestyles rapidly improved. These improvements also caused environmental problems such as water contamination. Water contamination caused by old, worn water pipes, harmful materials and deposits from the water purification processes decreased the tap water quality, causing unpleasant odors and tastes. Due to poor maintenance of the reservoir facilities of tap water quality, citizens lost their faith in the water quality. In the long term, it made us worry about the health of our nation's citizens (6,16).

판매직에 종사하는 여성을 대상으로 100%의 Basil oil, Lavender oil, Lemon oil, Jasmin oil, Ylangylang oil (KIMEX co. Ltd), Skatole의 총 6가지 종류의 천연향을 사용하여 자극하였을 때의 상호 정보량을 분석, 비교하였다. 그 결과, 선호도가 낮은 Basil과 Skatole을 자극할 때 무향에 비해 상호 정보량이 많고, 향 간의 비교에서도 선호도가 낮은 향에 대한 상호 정보량이 선호도가 높은 향에 비해 더 많음을 보여주었다. 이는 뇌에서 상호 정보량이 향에 대한 선호도와 관련이 있고, 특히 선호도가 낮은 향의 경우, 정보량의 증가 경향이 확인되었다.

본 연구에서는 쾌한 향과 불쾌한 향에 대한 좌우 반구의 차이를 보여 주는 비대칭 지수를 사용하여, 두 반구 사이의 변화를 살펴보았다. 중년층과 장년층 여성을 대상으로, 100%의 Basil oil, Lavender oil, Lemon oil, Jasmin oil, Ylangylang oil(KIMEX co. Ltd), Sketol의 총 6가지 종류의 천연향을 제시한 후, 주관적 평가를 통해 쾌한 향과 불쾌한 향을 구분한 후, 이 두 향에 대한 뇌파의 비대칭도를 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과, 중년층의 경우, 주관적 평가에서 쾌한 향으로 나타난 lemon향을 제시했을 때, 불쾌한 향을 제시한 경우에 비해 세타파와 알파파에서 우반구 부분이 우세한 경향을 보여 주었고, 장년층에 비해 중년층은 마찬가지로 세타파와 알파파에서 쾌한 향 자극 시 우반구가 우세함을 보여 주었다.

The number of domestic ice-rink is little by little increasing recently. Therefore, the demand for air-conditioning system to adjust adequately the indoor condition of ice-rink is constantly increasing. But, if air-conditioning system for ice-rink isn't designed properly, the problems such as fogging, ice surface condensation, structural deterioration, odors, generation of dew condensation on the surface of a wall occur. The solutions for these problems are to lower the relative humidify of indoor. The objectives of this paper is to apply of desiccant dehumidifier on ice-rink, solve these problems.

Dissolved air flotation (DAF) is an effective solid/liquid separation process for low density particles, such as algal flocs, humus materials and clay particles produced from low turbidity water. The fraction of humic substances for natural organic matters (NOMs) are considered problematic in water because it can readily react with chlorine to form harmful by-products (trihalomethanes) and can be exposed to undesirable color, tastes and odors in drinking water. A broad class of NOMs includes fulvic acid, humic acid and humin. This paper will discuss the results from a study that performed with a DAF pump process using synthetic wastewater contained humic substance. Batch jar tests were performed to evaluate coagulant dose and recycle ratio on flotation efficiency.
