DO Cas is a short period (P=0.68day) eclipsing binary star and is classified as a near-contact binary by Shaw(1990). There is no published radial velocity curve for this short period binary after Mannino(1958). Hill(1991) suspected that Mannino's radial velocity curve had some serious mistake. So, we scanned the original plates used by Mannino with PDS and the spectra were employed to IRAF packages to estimate the radial velocities. The radial velocity curve and the BVR light curves made by us in 1998 were analyzed simultaneously with Wilson-Devinney code. We found that DO Cas is a contact or near-contact binary which the primary component fills its Roche lobe and we also estimated the absolute dimensions of each components of this system.

현재 Bacillus cereus의 정량 및 정성 분석을 위해서 MYP 배지가 주로 사용되고 있으나 식품공전과 축산물의 가공기준 및 성분 규격 내에서 MYP의 주요 첨가물인 egg-yolk의 농도는 각각 2.5%와 5%로 서로 상이하여 대상이 되는 시료의 유래에 따라 각기 다른 MYP 배지를 제조해야 하는 불편함이 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 MYP 배지에 1%에서 10%로 10개 구간으로 egg-yolk의 농도를 첨가하여 이에 따른 B.cereus의 정량적 특성, lecithinase 활성대의 크기 및 육안 확인이 가장 좋은 구간대에 대한 관능평가를 실시하였다. 결과적으로 정량적 특성과 lecithinase 활성대의 크기는 농도가 증가할수록 비례하지 않음을 알 수 있었으며, lecithinase 활성대에 대한 관능평가는 2%의 egg yolk가 가장 확인이 용이한 것으로 평가되었다. 본 연구를 통해서 MYP에 첨가되는 egg-yolk의 최종 농도가 현재의 2.5%(식품), 5%(축산물)로 다르게 기준 되어 있는 것을 2% 또는 식품공전의 2.5%로 통합하여 개정하는 것이 가능하다고 판단되며 이러한 개정을 통하면 MYP 조성물 중 고가인 egg-yolk 제조 비용을 상당히 줄여 줄 것으로 기대된다.

현대 천문학의 주요한 이슈 중 하나인 외계행성은 570개 이상 발견되었는데, 이들 모두 우리 은하내 외계행성들이다. 우리는 KMTNet 광시야 관측시스템을 이용하여 마젤란 은하내 외계행성을 Transit 방법으로 탐색 관측하여 외부은하 최초의 외계행성을 발견하고자 한다. 이제까지 알려진 Transit 행성들의 별표면 통과시간(transit duration)은 대부분 100-300분 사이에 분포하기 때문에, 이 현상의 검출은 최대 10분의 시간분해능을 필요로 한다. 한편, KMTNet 망원경은 마젤란 은하내 21등급의 별을 I 필터에서 10분의 노출로 1%의 측정정밀도를 얻을 수 있고, 8-10미터급 대형망원경을 이용하면 태양질량의 21등급 별을 공전하는 목성형 행성들의 분광후속 관측이 가능하다. 우리는 KMTNet으로 마젤란 은하내 19-21등급에 있는 F-G형 주계열성들과 청색수평가지별들(blue horizontal branch star)을 I 필터(관측 시작, 중간, 끝 시간에는 V 필터도 사용)에서 10분의 노출로 시계열 측광 관측하면, 다수의 Transit 외계행성을 발견할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다. 이와 더불어, 수년의 장시간 관측자료로부터 RR Lyr, ${\delta}$ Sct 및 식변광성의 극대/극심시각을 정밀하게 측정하여 Timing 방법으로 항성계 주위를 공전하는 장주기 외계행성을 발견할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 중력렌즈(self-lensing) 현상을 보이는 외계행성도 검출가능하다.

접촉 식쌍성 FZ Ori를 CCD 측광 관측하여 BVRI 광도곡선을 얻고, 12개의 새로운 극심시각을 결정하였다. 먼저 우리가 구한 극심시각들을 포함한 총 218개의 극심시각 자료를 이용하여 FZ Ori의 공전주기 변화를 분석하였다. 그 결과 지난 80년 동안 FZ Ori의 공전주기가 영년 증가하면서 동시에 40~50년 주기로 변화하고 있음을 발견하였다. 우리는 주기적 변화가 제3천체에 의한 광시간 효과로 나타난다고 가정하고 몬테카를로 기법을 이용하여 $X^2_r$인 자 공간에서 최적의 광시간 해를 탐색하였다. 또 이 방법으로 구한 광시간 궤도요소를 궤도 수치적분 프로그램(MERCURY, S34BODY)에 적용하여 질점으로 이루어진 가상의 삼중성계에서 나타나는 광시간 효과를 천체역학적으로 구현하여 보았다. 한편 FZ Ori의 4색 광도곡선을 가장 최근에 개정된 2010 Wilson-Devinney 프로그램에 적용하여 측광학적 해를 구하였다. 기본 시스템 인자 외에 차가운 흑점과 뜨거운 흑점, 그리고 제3광도의 세 요인들을 조합하여 구한 14개의 해 중에서 주성과 반성의 표면에 각각 차가운 흑점과 뜨거운 흑점이 있으면서 제3광도가 검출된 해가 우리의 관측과 가장 잘 맞았다. 그러나 이렇게 구한 제3광도는 광시간 모형으로부터 예측되는 제3천체의 광도에 크게 못 미친다. 추후 분광 관측을 비롯한 다양한 방법을 동원한다면 FZ Ori에 대한 보다 완전한 모형을 얻을 수 있을 것이다.

New BV RI photometric observations of the contact binary AH Tau were performed with the 61 cm reflector and a 2K CCD camera at the Sobaeksan Optical Astronomy Observatory during seven nights from September to December, 2001. A total of 144 times of minima observed up to date, including three times of minima obtained from our observation, were analyzed. It is found that the orbital period of AH Tau has varied in a cyclic way superposed on a secular period decrease. The rate of the secular period decrease is calculated to be $1^s$ .04 per century, implying that a mass of about $3.8{\times}10^{-8}M{\odot}/yr$ from the more massive primary flows into the secondary if a conservative mass transfer is assumed. Assuming that the sinusoidal period variation is produced by a light-time effect due to an unseen third body, the resultant semi-amplitude, period, and eccentricity for the deduced light-time orbit are obtained as 35.4 years, 0.014 day and 0.52, respectively. The mass of the third-body is calculated as a tout $0.24M{\odot}$ when the third body is assumed to be coplanar with AH Tau system.

This study was conducted to evaluate the selective media listed in currently available Food Code in Korea. The 29 different types of media of five different types of foodborne bacteria including Salmonella spp., Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytogenes, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Staphylococcus aureus were tested in the broth and food. The recovery test for five different types of foodborne bacteria was performed in the artificially inoculated into chicken, rice, pork and mackerel. There was no significant differences in isolation capabilities among twenty nine different types of isolation selective media for five different types of foodborne bacteria in broth condition, while there was significantly a little differences in isolation capabilities among those on foods (P<0.05). The higher number of foodborne pathogens were isolated from conventional selective media approved in Food Code than newly developed selective media such as chromogenic media. This results suggest that there was differences of selectivities among currently available isolation selective media in many countries and further studies are needed to be approved by Korean Food and Drug Administration.

All times of minimum light for two eclipsing binaries V343 Aql and CX Aqr were collected and analyzed to study their orbital period variations. It was found that the orbital periods for both stars have varied in a cyclical way superposed on a parabola. A secular period decrease of $-261{\times}10^{-7}$ d/y for V343 Aql was calculated while CX Aqr showed a secular period increase of $+2.55{\times}10^{-8}$8 d/y. Possible causes of secular period variations for two systems were discussed. The cyclical period variation was interpreted as light-time effect due to a third body. The resultant period, semiamplitude and eccentricity of the light time orbit were calculated to be 30.3y, 0.0092d and 0.85, respectively, for V343 Aql and 33.0y, 0.0037d and 0.64, respectively, for CX Aqr. The properties of the third bodies suggested in V343 Aql and CX Aqr systems were discussed.

The BVR CCD photometric observations of W UMa-type eclipsing binary SS Ari were made on ten nights from November 1996 to December 1996. Eight new times of minimum lights were derived. The analysis of times of minima of SS Ari confirms the suggestions of other previous investigators that the orbital period of SS Ari have been suffering from a sinusoidal varition. The amplitude and period for the cyclic period changes were calculated as about $58^{y}$ and $0.^{d}053$, respectively. The period variation has been discussed in terms of two potential mechanisms: 1) the light-time effect due to a hypothetical third body and 2) deformations in the convective envelope of a magnetically active component. In the earlier case, the third body has a mass of $1.3M_{\odot}$, if exist, in the form of a white dwarf or a binary system. It seems that the system velocities from the spectroscopic observations supports this interpretation. Meanwhile in the latter case, the primary component is mainly responsible for the magnetic activity of this system with a theoretical amplitude of $\pm0.^{m}08$. However, we cannot make a conclusion which is reasonable explanation at this point, due to lack of observational data. Moreover, the period variation of SS Ari shows duplication about $14^y$, cyclic period with an amplitude of about $0.^d001$ to the above periodic change. We also cannot make an acceptable conclusion for it at this time.

This study explored pre-service teachers' mental models about eclipse phenomena to investigate their understandings on the earth science concept needed f3r an integrated approach. We conducted in-depth interviews with two different contexts on 30 secondary and 36 primary pre-service teachers participants, and analyzed phenomenological primitives (p-prims) and facets of causal explanations about eclipses. Based on this study, we identified four different levels of mental models about eclipses. Four mental models were categorized as (1) Screening model, (2) Orbital plane model, (3) Hybrid model, and (4) Shadow cast model. Screening model is a flawed mental model, orbital plane model is an incomplete correct mental model, and shadow cast model is a scientifically correct mental model. Hybrid model, composite of two or more mental models, use multiple mental models simultaneously. Orbital plane model was the most widespread mental model in secondary pre-service teachers group, whereas screening model was used frequently in primary group. It was found that the level of mental model could be determined by the level of facet and p-prims. We confirmed context sensitivity of the mental models and perceived the necessity of integrated approaches to promote progression of mental models. Implications of our findings for enhancing pre-service science teachers' topic-specific pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) associated with eclipse phenomena are also discussed here.

This study was carried out to examine the quality properties of honey in Korean commercial markets. The moisture content, stable carbon isotope ratio, invert sugar, cane sugar, and hydroxy-methylfurfural (HMF) contents of honey were measured according to the Korea Food Code and AOAC's (Association of Official Analytical Chemists) official methods. The stable carbon isotope ratio ranged from -25.18‰ to -12.60‰, which clearly differed between honey of $C_3$ origin (flower) and $C_4$ origin (artificial). Results of quality measurements revealed a moisture content of 18.12 to 19.70%, fructose content of 36.10 to 43.94%, glucose content of 22.61 to 31.91%, sucrose content of 1.56 to 4.75%, invert sugar content of 64.89 to 72.79%, and HMF content of 4.10 to 78.66 mg/kg. These values demonstrate that the quality of the tested honey meets the standard criteria of the Korean Food Code and Codex. However, it is necessary to reconsider the appropriate criteria for imported honey because it is circulated in the market through a long distribution process.
