Muskmelon(Cucumis melo L.)은 독특한 향기와 높은 당도로 각광받고 있는 과일로 주로 지중해, 아시아, 북유럽과 미주지역에서 광범위하게 재배되고 있으며 우리나라에서는 주로 시설 내에서 재배되고 있다. 점차 그 수요가 증가하고 있는 fresh-cut제품은 유통, 저장 기간 동안 제품의 신선함 유지가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 가공 전 열처리가 fresh-cut muskmelon의 품질에 미치는 영향과 최적 열처리 조건을 조사하였다. Half-cut melon을 대상으로 blanching 온도 설정을 위한 예비 실험을 한 결과 5$0^{\circ}C$ 열처리한 구가 향, 연화 저해 정도, 그리고 전체적인 기호도에 대한 관능평가 가장 우수하였다. 이를 바탕으로 5$0^{\circ}C$의 water bath상에서 whole melon을 10, 20, 30, 40분 blanching하여 5$^{\circ}C$에서 24시간 저장한 후 cork borer를 이용하여 cylinder 형의 fresh-cut melon을 가공하였다. 가공한 melon은 5$^{\circ}C$에서 6일 저장하면서 L-value, chroma-value, soluble solid, pH, 경도, 호흡 변화 등을 통해 품질변화를 측정하였다. 저장 6일후 L-value의 변화는 대조구에서 가장 크게 나타났으며, chroma-value는 저장 시간이 경과함에 따라 감소하였으며 10분 열처리 한 구에서 변화정도가 가장 낮게 나타났다. 수용성 고형분 함량은 저장기간의 경과에 따른 큰 변화는 없었으나 40분 열처리한 구에서 수용성 고형분 함량이 가장 낮았으며 20, 30분 열처리한 구에서 높게 나타났다. 저장 중 fresh-cut melon의 pH는 증가하는 경향을 보였으며 10분 열처리한 구에서 가장 낮게 나타났다. 호흡변화는 저장 기간이 경과함에 따라 $O_2$는 감소하고 $CO_2$는 증가했으며 특히 20분 열처리한 구에서 $CO_2$가 크게 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 증가 정도가 가장 크게 나타났다. 열처리한 fresh-cut melon의 hardness는 저장 3일 후 대조구와 40분 열처리 구에서 가장 낮아 연화현상을 확인했으며 20분 열처리구에서 초기 hardness가 유지되는 것으로 확인했다. 따라서 fresh-cut melon을 위한 가공 전 열처리를 위해서는 5$0^{\circ}C$에서 10분 열처리가 품질 변화를 유지하는데 적당하다고 판단된다.

This study focused on the 'Special Korean Collection' at the University of Hawaii's Hamilton Library, to examine the actual construction of Korean academic materials. The collection includes rare books by Marshall Pihl and Korean academic materials collected by 'the Korea Center'. And the following points were reviewed. First, what is the actual status of Korean academic data? Second, what is the field of study and what is the value of the material? Furthermore, this research sought to shed light on the Korean studies of early Korean emigrants. This includes not only the Americas but also Northeast Asia, Russia and Central Asia. There is a lack of comprehensive review of these materials at present. As a result, despite they are important research material, it is assumed that researchers have failed to grasp the academic, literary, cultural and artistic data of contemporary Korean emigrants. So the study also provided an understanding and future direction of the Korean collection.

Objectives : This study aimed to investigate the medical contents of Korean medical textbooks and intervention usage in clinical practice. Method : We conducted an email survey of Doctors of Korean Medicine(DKMs) registered with the Association of Korean Medicine and analyzed the 259 responses that we received. Results : 1, The study showed that most DKMs used western medical knowledge concerning "history taking and diagnosis"(96.5%), "management and prevention"(95.8%), "causes and overview"(91.9%), and "prognosis"(90.3%). DKMs did not usually use western medical knowledge with regard to "diagnosis and treatment evaluation tools"(40.9%) or "western medical treatments"(25.1%) in their clinical practice. 2. Of the DKMs surveyed, 39.0% usually used traditional and western medical terms at similar levels of frequency in explaining their patients' conditions, while 35.9% used western medical terms more often and 20.8% used Korean traditional medical terms more often. 3. Most DKMs usually used acupuncture, herbal medicine, cupping therapy, Moxibustion in their practice and used herbal prescriptions presented in Dongeuibogam(57.1%), Bangyakhappyeon(52.9%), and Sa-Sang Constitutional Medicine(36.7%), although 27.8% used their own herbal prescriptions in creating for patients. In practice, DKMs usually used meridian acupuncture(64.1%), needling myofascial trigger points(54.8%), sa-am acupuncture(42.1%), dong-shi acupuncture therapy(24.7%), and constitutional acupuncture therapy(8.5%). Conclusions : We found that most DKMs use western medical contents as well as Korean medical contents in clinical practice. New Korean medical contents should be establish based on these results.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to examine the effect of manual acupuncture at the bilateral $LI_4$, $ST_{36}$ and $LR_3$ on normal human every 3 minute time interval by using power spectrum analysis. Methods : 25 healthy volunteers participated in this study. 32 channel EEG(Electroencephalogram) measurements were carried out before, during and after acupuncture treatments. In this study, power spectrum was used as a measure of complexity. Statistical analysis was performed using repeated measure ANOVA and Bonferroni method. Results : 1. In acupuncture group, Mean HRT, PSI, Normalized HF decreased significantly. SDNN, Ln(TP), Ln(LF), Ln(VLF), Normalized LF and LF/HF ratio increased significantly. RMSSD, Ln(HF) were not affected. 2. In sham acupuncture group, all indicators were not affected. 3. In control group, mean HRT, Ln(TP) decreased significantly. SDNN, RMSSD, PSI, Ln(LF), Ln(HF), Ln(VLF), normalized LF, normalized HF and LF/HF ratio were not affected. Conclusions : This results suggest that manipulation needling of 6 acupoints induced increase of delta, theta, beta waves. Both manipulation and simple needling induced decrease of alpha wave during 12~15 time intervals.

Comics is sequential art. In comics, the story is developped by its sequential panels which have their own sizes and sites. Accordingly, comics is closer to 'space' art than text. The reading order in a page of comic book follows the human long-standing reading habit, and it is the same as that of textbook. When we read a korean comic book, our eyes run from left to right, and downward on the page. But some factors related to panels or comic structures can change the typical reading order. Meanwhile, breaking the typical reading order is easier in the "infinite canvas" by reason of unconstrained spatial composition. This paper introduces the factors that change the comic book readers' reading order and proposes a tablet PC comic book layout which includes an arbitrary reading path using interaction

Objectives : Hwanglyeonhaedok-tang(黃連解毒湯) is a representative herbal formula with "clear heat(淸熱)" effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Hwanglyeonhaedok-tang-based intranasal herbal ointment Biyeom-go based on the cold and heat pattern identification questionnaire(CHPIQ). Methods : We performed a subgroup analysis of the previously published prospective observational study. A total of 58 patients with rhinitis were administered Biyeom-go for 4 weeks, and its effects on the Total Nasal Symptom Score(TNSS), Mini Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire(Mini-RQLQ) score, and nasal endoscopy index score were analyzed based on CHPIQ. Results : Among the 58 patients, the heat and non-heat patterns were shown by 39 and 19 patients, respectively, while the cold and non-cold patterns were shown by 46 and 12 patients, respectively. The change in TNSS from baseline negatively correlated with the heat pattern score(p=0.011). Improvement in TNSS was greater in the heat pattern group than in the non-heat pattern group, with a borderline significant difference(p=0.07). Mini-RQLQ and nasal endoscopy index scores tended to be lower in the heat pattern group than in the non-heat pattern group, but without a statistically significant difference. Conclusion : The findings indicate that CHPIQ is a useful tool for the diagnostic and prognostic evaluation of patients with rhinitis. This study provides fundamental evidence of the close association between the cold-heat pattern in patients with rhinitis and the treatment effects of Biyeom-go.

A marine protected area (MPA) is a spatially designated section of the ocean where the biodiversity is high. Munseom MPA has a unique underwater landscape including soft coral, subtropical fish, and benthos, attracting many scuba divers. This paper intends to evaluate the willingness-to-pay (WTP) for the scuba diving management policy in the Munseom MPA. As a stated preference valuation method, a choice experiment was applied to assess divers' preferences with economic values for the policy. The attributes used in the study included zoning (temporal closure), conservation education, daily permit, soft coral area, and diving fee. We collected 333 questionnaires through online and field surveys and used 296 after excluding incomplete responses for the final data analysis. Study results show that a six-month closure, a decrease in soft coral habitat, and the diving fee were statistically significant. A positive coefficient with regard to the six-month closure variable indicates that divers preferred the policy, and the marginal willingness to pay (MWTP) was estimated to be KRW 8,637 per person per dive. The aggregate WTP of KRW 233 million was obtained by multiplying the MWTP by the number of visiting divers per year. When comparing the levels of recreation specialization, more skilled divers preferred the management option. The results of this study will help predict the priority of management measures and the levels of acceptability among divers when diving management is implemented in Korea in the future. This study suggests that marine environmental policies need to consider divers as one of the important stakeholders for marine conservation.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is defined as a chronic inflammatory-mediated disease that causes ulceration and inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. Among most patients, the course of chronic inflammation repeatedly shows intermittent exacerbations and alternating remissions. However, despite the various therapeutic options to relieve symptoms, such as corticosteroids, TNF-α inhibitors, and antibiotic drugs, there is no known cure for IBD. Nonetheless, previous research has revealed that the autonomic nervous system is involved in the pathophysiology of IBD. In this study, we reviewed clinical trials confirming the therapeutic effect of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) on IBD in vivo. We searched in vivo and human studies on Pubmed using keywords combined with "vagus nerve stimulation", "VNS", and "inflammatory bowel disease". All studies included in this review reported that direct VNS is effective in relieving symptoms of IBD and has no severe adverse effects. The most frequently stimulated site was the unilateral cervical vagus nerve area, and parameters for stimulation were set as 5-20 Hz. Based on the results, we aim to summarize the evidence for the efficacy of VNS on IBD and suggest the possibility of auricular electroacupuncture treatment as a therapeutic option for IBD.

In and attempt to investigate the milling method of barley, four kinds of barley were used for this study. The results are summerized as follow: 1) The optimum tempering and priority of milling quality of barley is shown as following table. Barley is Tempering moisture 15%, Tempering time 24hr. Naked barley is Tempering moisture 14%, Tempering time 48hr. Barley and Naked barley are Tempering moisture 13%, Tempering time 48hr. 2) Economic value of pearled materials milling is disadvantageous, because of the milling expenses are burdensome and flour extractions are fallen down 12.5% in barley and 13.6% in naked barley as compared with unpearled materials milling. 3) Wheat flour milling process may be used without any adjustment when mixed with 90% of wheat and 10% of barley. 4) Unpearled naked barley is the most suitable for flour milling when mixed with wheat.

The construction of Incheon International Airport(IIA) was planned in order to meet the national air transport demand which has been rapidly increased, and to be a major hub airport in Northeast Asia. However, it is inevitable to compete with Japanese airports because Japanese government also planned to expand greatly the airport capacity in Tokyo area and Kansai Airport in Osaka area. Since a hub airport should have convenient connecting flights to spoke cities, it is required for IIA to have plenty of short-haul flights to the cities around Seoul, for example, to the cities in East China, Japan and other East Asian countries. IIA authority and Korean national air carriers should coordinate to develop air transport demand for short-haul international route and establish efficient hub-spoke flight schedules. This would be a essential precondition to function as a hinterland hub in Northeast Asia. Reflecting the geographical position, the function as a hourglass hub could be possible, if IIA is utilised by major airlines as a bridge to connect passengers between cities in Southeast Asia and 'cities in North America. To be a successful hourglass hub, the Korean national carriers must try to engage in the joint operations or the alliances with the major airlines of Southeastern countries or North American countries. All of these could be accomplished through the cooperation among government, airport and national air carriers.
