  • 3D printing technology enables the production of creative and personalized food products that meet consumer needs, such as an attractive visual appearance, fortification of specific nutrients, and modified textures. To popularize and diversify 3D-printed foods, an evaluation of the printing feasibility of various food pastes, including materials that cannot be printed natively, is necessary. Most animal resources, such as meat, milk, and eggs, are not inherently printable; therefore, the rheological properties governing printability should be improved through pre-/post-processing or adding appropriate additives. This review provides the latest progress in extrusion-based 3D printing of animal resource-based inks. In addition, this review discusses the effects of ink composition, printing conditions, and post-processing on the printing performance and characteristics of printed constructs. Further research is required to enhance the sensory quality and nutritional and textural properties of animal resource-based printed foods.

  • Underwater photographing and image recording are essential for pre-excavation survey and during excavation in underwater archaeology. Unlike photographing on land, all underwater images suffer various quality degradations such as shape distortions, color shift, blur, low contrast, high noise levels and so on. Outcome is very often heavily photographing equipment and photographer dependent. Excavation schedule, weather conditions, and water conditions can put burdens on divers. Usable images are very limited compared to the efforts. In underwater archaeological study in very turbid water such as in the Yellow Sea (between mainland China and the Korean peninsula), underwater photographing is very challenging. In this study, off-site image distortion and color compensation techniques using an image processing/analysis software is investigated as an alternative image quality enhancement method. As sample images, photographs taken during the excavation of 800-year-old Taean Mado Shipwrecks in the Yellow Sea in 2008-2010 were mainly used. Significant enhancement in distortion and color compensation of archived images were obtained by simple post image processing using image processing/analysis software (PicMan) customized for given view ports, lenses and cameras with and without optical axis offsets. Post image processing is found to be very effective in distortion and color compensation of both recent and archived images from various photographing equipment models and configurations. Merits and demerit of in-situ, distortion and color compensated photographing with sophisticated equipment and conventional photographing equipment, which requires post image processing, are compared.

  • We consider the interface between the parallel distributed memory multifrontal solver and the finite element method. We give in detail the requirement and the data structure of parallel FEM interface which includes the element data and the node array. The full procedures of solving a large scale structural problem are assumed to have pre-post processors, of which algorithm is not considered in this paper. The main advantage of implementing the parallel FEM interface is shown up in the case that we use a distributed memory system with a large number of processors to solve a very large scale problem. The memory efficiency and the performance effect are examined by analyzing some examples on the Pegasus cluster system.

  • This study was accomplished for the purpose of developing a textile processing ingredient that is harmless to the human body and environment. The research method consists of dyeing cotton textiles by extracting the dye solution from ginseng. Then, chrominance, after treatment, antibacterial ratio and deodorization ratio of cotton fabrics dyed with ginseng extracts were tested and results were examined. The research procedure involved first extracting the dye solution from the ginseng's by-product (fine roots) and then dyeing was effectuated differently according to the test samples temperature and dyeing time requirements. Brightness in all dye substances was lower in pre-mordanting. Beige color could be extracted from pre-mordanted samples. And dark orange from postmordanted samples. Color-festness was high in all samples. Most of samples show a big antibacterial ratio and deodorization ratio. Through this research it has been discovered that, when applied to textiles, Korea's ginseng extract possessed reproducibility features as a natural dye and a possibility to be used in cutting which plays a crucial role in hygienic processing. In addition, by using ginseng's by-product for dyeing processing as the dye solution, efficient application of resources and occurrences of no water waste damages were demonstrated and thus, proved to be environmentally-friendly. Specifically, through this experiment, it was found that saponin, ginseng's special characteristics, possessed excellent antibacterial odor repelling functions to clothing as well as the capability to prevent skin disease.

  • In big data analysis, raw text data mostly exists in various unstructured data forms, so it becomes a structured data form that can be analyzed only after undergoing heuristic pre-processing and computer post-processing cleansing. Therefore, in this study, unnecessary elements are purified through pre-processing of the collected raw data in order to apply the wordcloud of R program, which is one of the text data analysis techniques, and stopwords are removed in the post-processing process. Then, a case study of wordcloud analysis was conducted, which calculates the frequency of occurrence of words and expresses words with high frequency as key issues. In this study, to improve the problems of the "nested stopword source code" method, which is the existing stopword processing method, using the word cloud technique of R, we propose the use of "general stopword corpus" and "user-defined stopword corpus" and conduct case analysis. The advantages and disadvantages of the proposed "unstructured data cleansing process model" are comparatively verified and presented, and the practical application of word cloud visualization analysis using the "proposed external corpus cleansing technique" is presented.

  • This paper reports on flexible plastic optical fiber (POF) fabric displays which are used to develop light-emitting clothing from photonic fabric. We first evaluated the luminescence value corresponding to different methods of processing flexible optical fibers, types of reflective fabric structure, and colors of the light. Moreover, we tried to identify the optimum conditions of the flexible POF fabric displays to realize high luminescence value. The processing methods that were compared were the "Pre-etching" method and the "Post-etching" method. On the basis of the reflective structure of the fabric, the fabrics were categorized as the "White fabric" and the "Reflective fabric." Analysis results showed that the effect of the processing method is more dominant than that of the types of reflective fabric structure. Further, the capability of the Post-etching method to increase luminescence value is slightly higher than that of the Pre-etching method. Further, the 'Reflective fabric' is slightly more efficacious as the base fabric to increase the luminescence value, than the White fabric is. Thus, optimum increase in luminance can be realized by employing the Post-etching method and the Reflective fabric as the base fabric.
