Response surface methodology was applied to determine the optimum roasting conditions (roasting temperature and time) for the high-quality Polygonatum odoratum tea which has been roasting with a traditional means. As quality criteria of Polygonatum odoratum tea, water-soluble solids, browning color, total phenolic compounds and electron-donating ability were proportionally increased with increased temperature and time of roasting conditions up to around $145^{\circ}C$ and 55 min, respectively, while they were decreased under the extended-roasting conditions. The optimum roasting temperature and time based on the organoleptic overall acceptability were $146^{\circ}C$ and 52 min, respectively. On the basis of superimposed contour maps for the tea characteristics, the optimum range of roasting conditions were $135{\sim}140^{\circ}C$ and $58{\sim}64$ min. Predicted values at the optimum conditions $(137^{\circ}C,\;60\;min)$ were in good agreement with experimental values.

Most conventional database systems support specific queries that are concerned only with data that match a query qualification precisely. A cooperative query answering supports query analysis, query relaxation and provides approximate answers as well as exact answers. The key problem in the cooperative answering is how to provide an approximate functionality for alphanumeric as well as categorical queries. In this paper, we propose a metricized knowledge abstraction hierarchy that supports multi-level data abstraction hierarchy and distance metric among data values. In order to facilitate the query relaxation, a knowledge representation framework has been adopted, which accommodates semantic relationships or distance metrics to represent similarities among data values. The numeric domains also compatibly incorporated in the knowledge abstraction hierarchy by calculating the distance between target record and neighbor records.

In proteomics research, proteins are digested into peptides by an enzyme and in mass spectrometer, these peptides break into fragment ions to generate tandem mass spectra. The tandem mass spectral data obtained from the mass spectrometer consists of the molecular weights of the precursor ion and fragment ions. The precursor ion mass of tandem mass spectrum is the first value that is fetched to sort the candidate peptides in the database search. We look far the peptide sequences whose molecular weight matches with precursor ion mass of the mass spectrum. Then, we choose one peptide sequence that shows the best match with fragment ions information. The precursor ion mass of the tandem mass spectrum is compared with that of the digested peptides of protein database within the mass tolerance that is assigned by users according to the mass spectrometer accuracy. In this study, we used reversed sequence database method to analyze the molecular weight distribution of precursor ions of the tandem mass spectra obtained by the FT LTQ mass spectrometer for human plasma sample. By reinterpreting the precursor ion mass distribution, we could compute the experimental accuracy and we suggested a method to improve the protein identification performance.

A various technology of remote sensing and image analysis are applied to study landscape changes and their influencing factors in stream corridors. We developed a method to detect landscape changes over time by calculating the optical index using multispectral images taken from satellites at various time points, calculating the threshold to delineate the boundaries of water bodies, and creating binarized maps into land and water areas. This method was applied to the upstream reach of the weirs in the Geumgang River to track changes in the sandbar formed by the opening of the weir gate. First, we collected multispectral images with a resolution of 10 m × 10 m taken from the Sentinel-2 satellite at various times before and after the opening of the dam in the Geumgang River. The normalized difference water index (NDWI) was calculated using the green light and near-infrared bands from the collected images. The Otsu's threshold of NDWI calculated to delineate the boundary of the water body ranged from -0.0573 to 0.1367. The boundary of the water area determined by remote sensing matched the boundary in the actual image. A map binarized into water and land areas was created using NDWI and the Otsu's threshold. According to these results of the developed method, it was estimated that a total of 379.7 ha of new sandbar was formed by opening the three weir floodgates from 2017 to 2021 in the longitudinal range from Baekje Weir to Daecheong Dam on the Geumgang River. The landscape detection method developed in this study is evaluated as a useful method that can obtain objective results with few resources over a wide spatial and temporal range.

The error networks due to the measuring systems and the test fixture must be previously calibrated in order to characterize the microwave devices. In this paper, it is presented a new method to characterize the error networks in which only two different microstrip lines are used for the calibration. Once each length of two calibrat- ing microstrip lines is accurately defined, the calibrated data can be easily obtained without acknowledgement for the propagation constant. The end effect is not considered when fabricated the microstrip lines used to calibration. The ATF13736 GaAs MESFET is characterized by means of the calibrating procedure with this method. The range of measuring frequency is 2 to 18 GHz, and the bias voltage and current are $V_{DS}$ =2.5V, $I_{DS}$ =20mA, respectively. Compared the calibrated data with data sheet, it is showed that the magnitude is nearly agreed with each other and the phase is deviated by 0.1 to 12 degrees in lower frequencies.

Vinyl acetate (VAc) was polymerized at 30, 40, and 5$0^{\circ}C$ using 2,2'-azobis (2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile) (ADMVN) and tertiary butyl alcohol (TBA) as the initiator and the solvent, respectively. High molecular weight (HMW) atactic poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) was prepared by saponifying the poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) synthesized. The effect of polymerization conditions were investigated in terms of conversion, degree of branching for acetyl group of PVAc, and molecular weight of both PVAc and PVA. The polymerization rate of VAc in TBA was proportional to the 0.49th power of ADMVN concentration in good accordance with the theoretical value of 0.5. HMW-PVA with high yield could be obtained successfully, probably due to lower polymerization temperature and decreased chain transfer reaction rate which was achieved by adopting ADMVN and TBA. PYAc having average degree of polymerization (P$_{n}$) of 10000~13000 was obtained at the conversion of 35~70%. Saponification of so prepared PVAc yielded PVA having P$_{n}$ of 2400~6100. The syndiotactic diad content increased with decreasing polymerization temperature and increasing VAc concentration due to a steric hindrance effect of TBA during polymerization.

X-ray equipment, which is frequently used in radiology and treatment, is the most common and most used equipment in clinical practice. Equipment must provide accurate information to patients through continuous quality control. In case of manual quality control measurement, reproducibility may be poor and there may be a problem with reliability of evaluation results. In this study, an automated program was developed and attempted to measure how much the central ray between the focus of the X-ray tube and the variable aperture of the diagnostic X-ray generator used in clinical practice coincides. As a result of the experiment, it succeeded in calculating the coordinates of the two center points, and the distance between the two points was calculated in pixels and applied to the judgment and the automatic judgment value for whether the center line coincidence is within the normal angle or the abnormal angle is presented. The results of this study are considered to be very helpful in the quality control of the X-ray apparatus.

딜라토메터는 실험의 간편성, 경제성, 신속성 및 반복성 등을 바탕으로 현장에서의 지반공학적 물성추정에 보편화되고 있다. 또한 간단한 장비구성과 손쉬운 사용법에도 불구하고 다양한 지반공학적 물성들 -예로서, $K_{o}$ , OCR, $c_{u}$ , $\psi$, $c_{h}$, $k_{h}$, ${\gamma}$, M, $u_{o}$ -을 추정할 수 있으며 다양한 지반공학적 설계문제에 성공적으로 적용되어 왔다. 그러나 제안된 관계식들이 대부분 기존실험 결과들과의 비교를 통하여 얻어진 경험적 상관관계이며, 특히 압밀계수 추정에 관한 부분은 관입시 평면변형 상태의 지반변형으로 인한 관입모사의 복잡성으로 인하여 피에조콘 소산시험 해석을 위해 제안된 이론 해들에 경험적인 가정사항들을 추가하여 사용하는 반경험적 방법들과 순수한 경험적인 방법이 사용되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 elf라토메터 관입기의 실제 평면적을 등가의 원형반경으로 고려한 등가반경을 사용하고 최적화기법을 적용함으로써, 소산시험에서 실제 관측된 간극수압($p_2$)과 딜라토메터 소산시험을 모사하여 얻어진 예측 간극수압의 차이를 최소화하는 수평압밀계수 추정법을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법을 국내 양산지역에서 수행된 딜라토메터 소산실험에 적용하였으며 추정된 수평압밀계수 값을 기존의 딜라토메터 수평압밀계수 추정법들과 불교란 시료를 이용한 일차원 실내 압밀실험으로 얻어진 수평압밀계수 값들과 비교검증 하였다. 그 결과 제안된 방법으로 기존의 방법에 비해 실내 압밀실험 결과와 일치하는 수평압밀계수 추정결과를 얻었다. 또한, 제안된 방법으로 얻어진 수평압밀계수는 전 소산도 범위에서 고르게 관측값과 일치하는 소산곡선을 예측하여, 최적화기법을 이용한 딜라토메터 소산시험 해석으로 전 소산과정을 대표하는 압밀계수의 추정이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

The YHB radial distribution functions of a linear gas molecule CO were calculated by a computer within the Stockmayer molecular potential molel, which assumed thc CO molecule as a simple dipolar molecule. To examine the validity of the obtained YHB radial distribution of CO gas molecule, the density dependent pressures of CO at several temperatures were also calculated. The calculated pressures showed a good agreement with literially known experimental CO pressure data. The temperatures examined were 273, 298, and 373 K and the densities were up to $0.013/{\AA}^3$ (maximum pressure = 1000 atm). Since the calculated pressures showed a good agreement with the experimental values, the obtained YHB radial distribution functions of CO molecule seemed good enough to obtain and predict various equilibrium physical and chemical quantities of CO molecule sensitive to density such as pressure. It was also found that in CO gas system the dipole-dipole interaction is effective up to approximately 2.5 molecular diameter.

This paper describes a systematic way of identifying the horizontal coefficient of consolidation of clayey soil by applying an optimization technique to the early part of dissipation data measured from the self-boring pressuremeter strain holding test. An analytical solution developed by Randolph ＆ Wroth (1979) was implemented in normalized form to express the build-up of excess pore pressures as a function of the rigidity index and subsequent dissipation of excess pore pressures around a pressuremeter Horizontal coefficient of consolidation was determined by minimizing the differences between theoretical and measured excess pore pressure curves over 50% degree of dissipation range using optimization technique. The effectiveness of the proposed back-analysis method was examined against the real fled performances obtained from pressuremeter strain holding tests at Gimje and Yangsan site. It is shown that the proposed back-analysis method can evaluates the rational horizontal coefficient of consolidation, which is similar to those obtained from the piezocone dissipation test. Furthermore, proposed method can evaluate appropriate coefficient of consolidation for soil under partially drained condition.
