We assessed quality changes in and washing effects (time and method) on lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) treated with micro-bubbles. Samples were treated with micro-bubbling for 1, 3, or 5 min, and the 5-min treatment yielded the best results in terms of reduced total microorganism counts, sensory aspects, and degree of washing. Total microorganism counts were 4.30 log colony-forming units (CFU)/g in unwashed lettuce(CT), 4.10 log CFU/g in hand-washed lettuce (HW), 3.98 log CFU/g in conventional, bubble-washed lettuce (BW) and 3.25 log CFU/g in micro-bubble-washed lettuce (MW). In comparison, total counts of samples examined after 10 days of storage were 7.00 log CFU/g for CT, 6.19 log CFU/g for HW, 6.02 log CFU/g for BW, and 5.89 log CFU/g for MW. The lowest counts were seen after micro-bubble treatment. BW and MW samples showed significantly higher counts than did CT and HW samples. In general, BW and MW samples did not vary significantly in count numbers. MW showed a 2.3-fold lower residual pesticide level compared with CT, and also had the lowest level of impurities. HW and BW samples were not well washed.

Since the expansion of perlite occurs in a few second in high temperature, it is difficult to identify an expansion phenomenon through experiments. In order to explain this phenomenon, a numerical study has been carried out by setting a model that water vapour diffuses to a tiny bubble existing in perlite melts and then makes the bubble grow and perlite expand. When the bubble grew and the perlite expanded due to the diffusion of water vapour, the dynamic temperature of perlite decreased. Meanwhile, the dynamic pressure of bubble increased at the beginning as water vapour diffuses in melts, but rather decreased after a rapid expansion of bubble.

Bubblesort graph is mathematically modeled with bubbling methods, which can arrange data. Bubblesort graph Bn's degree is n, it's routing path length ${\frac{n(n-1)}{2}}$, and its network cost is $O(n^3)$. In this paper we suggest the number of Bubblesort graph's degree reduced to half as a solution to improve the network cost of Bubblesort graph. The Bubblesort graph which has the following restriction is a connected graph randomly from node U to node V for routing.

수자원의 확보와 어류 서식 환경보전이라는 두 가지 측면은 수자원 이용이라는 목적하에 합의되기 어려운 문제를 가지고 있다. 점차적으로 수자원이 고갈되는 현시점에 효율적 물관리를 위해 최근에는 단절된 하천을 연결하기 위한 기술들이 개발되고 있으며, 이중 안정적인 물공급 시스템을 구축하기 위한 수중터널이 그러한 기술 중 하나이다. 수자원의 확보 측면에서는 의미가 있는 방법일 수 있으나 물리적으로 동떨어져 있던 서로 다른 환경을 연결하는 문제로 인한 부작용이 발생하는데 이중 외래어종 유입으로 인한 수중생물의 환경변화가 가장 큰 문제로 대두되고 있다. 이러한 문제를 방지하기 위해 어류의 이동을 차단하는 기술 또한 개발되고 있으며 그물망, 버블스크린, 빛, 소리를 이용한 다양한 방법을 통해 어류의 접근을 방지하고자 노력하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 차단시설 중 기포를 이용한 버블스크린과 관련하여 효율성을 높이기 위한 방법을 모색하고자 실제 버블의 상승속도에 영향을 미치는 여러 가지 불확실성 인자들에 대한 상관성과 인과관계를 검토하고자 하였다. 이를 위해서 외부적 원인에 대한 오차요소를 확인하고 결과값에 영향을 미치는 여러 가지 변수에 대하여 검토하고자 하는 실험연구를 수행하였다. 버블실험을 위한 수로는 길이 15m, 폭 1.5m 의 제원을 가지는 직선수로에서 수행하였으며, 버블 발생을 위한 튜브는 PVC 재질이며, 5cm 간격으로 1mm 직경을 갖는 파이프를 제작하여 활용하였다. 실험의 분석은 이미지를 이용한 방법을 사용하였으며 분석위치 및 버블사이즈 그리고 해석격자 크기에 대한 상관분석 및 회귀분석을 통해 각각 인자들과의 관계를 규명하고자 하였다.

To find out whether isotropic magnetic bubble propagation can be achived by changing magnetostriction coefficients, bias margins and bubble collapse fields of $2.5{\mu}m$ period "diamond" bubble propagation tracks were measured which were fabricated on three magnetic garnet thin films with nearly isotropic magnetostriction coefficients (${\lambda}111{\simeq}{\lambda}100$). The results showed substantially isotropic bubble propagation in "super","good" and "bad" tracks for all three garnet films. From the bubble collapse fields, the bubble potential well depths vs. the direction of the in-plane rotating magnetic fields were plotted. The results showed that substantial differances in the potential well shapes exist for the three "good," "bad" and "super" tracks when ${\Delta}(=({\lambda}111-{\lambda}100)/{\lambda}100)$ was 0.5 (film AK92). However, the differences were minimal when ${\Delta}$ were 0.3 (film Aka8) or 0.1 (film AKb1). In other words, the bubble potential wells were nearly isotropic. The above two measurements indicate that nearly isotropic bubble propagation can be achieved when B is between 0.1 and 0.3.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how ozone-dissolution-tank structure affects micro-ozone-bubble distribution, energy consumption and water treatment efficiency. The partition walls inside the ozone-dissolution-tank generate pressure changes, shear forces, and swirling flows, which change the size of the bubble diameter. The size of the bubble diameter differs by 10.5% depending on the partition walls. Changes in ozone-bubble diameter are related to energy consumption. As the ozone-bubble becomes smaller, the bubble generation energy increases, but the ozone production energy decreases as the dissolution efficiency increases. Therefore, an ozone-dissolution-tank should be determined by means of an optimal condition producing a micro-ozone-bubble with a minimum sum of bubble generation energy and ozone production energy. The energy consumed to inject the same amount of ozone into the effluent differs by 2.5% depending on the partition walls. However, considering the water treatment efficiency, the conditions for selecting the ozone-dissolution-tank are variable. This is because the free radicals that increase as the ozone-bubble gets smaller are very efficient for water treatment. Even at the same ozone injection concentration, the water treatment efficiency differs by 10.4% according to the partition walls. Therefore, we have studied ozone-dissolution-tank structure which produces reasonable ozone-bubble considering water treatment efficiency and energy efficiency.

The sterilization efficacies of various washing solutions on the surfaces of vegetables such as sesame leaves, lettuce, and mini-cabbage were investigated. The washing solutions were tap water (TW), microbubble water (MB), electrolyzed water (EW), and microbubble electrolyzed water (MB＋EW). After Escherichia coli and Bacillus cereus were artificially inoculated onto the surfaces of vegetables, each vegetable was washed for 1, 3, and 5 min with TW, MB, EW 100 (100 mg/L of available chlorine), EW 200 (200 mg/L of available chlorine), MB+EW 100, and MB＋EW 200. The washing efficacy of MB was slightly higher than that of TW, and EW was more effective than MB (p<0.05). In all instances, the sterilization efficacies of MB+EW 100 and MB+EW 200 were higher than those of EW 100 and EW 200 (p<0.05). Thus, MB+EW offers an effective means of reducing the studied microorganisms in a short time period. The MB＋EW washing method provides microbial reduction on the surfaces of various vegetables and enhances the microbiological safety of the vegetables.

The technology of microbubbles and nanobubbles originated in Japan and Europe is applicable to various applications and its effects are diverse, attracting attention not only from many researchers but also from industry experts. In particular, nanobubbles have the advantage that they can be applied to products in the form of liquids, such as cosmetics, from the study that they can exist for more than several months in water. In this study, it was carried out the production of nanobubbles using bubble encapsulation technique and the experiment of skin permeability enhancement of active substances in cosmetics using nanobubble techniquethree. Nanobubbles were confirmed to affect the skin permeability increase of active substances, and up to 250% increase in skin permeability compared to non-bubbles-free materials(Caffeic acid, at 8 hour). It is expected that research results and industrial ripple effects can be expected not only in the cosmetic field, but also in fields applicable to the improvement of permeability by nanobubble techniques, such as areas related to drug delivery system.

The fundamental study for an application of nanobubble as a soil remediation enhancer on heavy metal contaminated soil was carried out. The existence and long-term stability of hydrogen nanobubbles were investigated by particle analysis and zeta-potential analysis. And the removal efficiency of copper using nanobubble water(NBW) and distilled water(DW) were compared and analyzed through a batch desorption test. As a result, it is confirmed that nanobubble which was fabricated by compression-dissolution type generator can exist for more than 14 days. The results of batch test show that copper removal of NBW was higher than that of DW irrespectively to soil type and increased as solid-liquid ratio and contact time increased, respectively. According to the pH change, the removal of copper on sand was higher on the acid side but the removal difference was slightly lower on the clay. It is considered that a high efficiency of NBW in copper removal is due to the large surface area and high zeta-potential of nanobubbles. Therefore, the nanobubble can be applied to soil remediation for heavy-metal contaminated soil as an eco-friendly enhancer.
