An agrivoltaic system (AVS) is a combined system that generates power through photovoltaic panels (PVPs) installed above a field where a crop is cultivated. Although soil moisture is an important limiting factor for open-field crop production, particularly during spring season in Korea, it is not well considered in the utilization of AVS. Indeed, the application of water-energy-food nexus on the AVS should be necessary. In this study, the changes of soil moisture and temperature under the AVS was investigated in fallow paddy field during spring season. The AVS that has partial shading condition by PV panels was decreased soil temperature and increased soil moisture compared to open-field. Furthermore, the maximum of the change in soil moisture to the change in soil temperature had a negative correlation both on open-field and AVS under wet condition. It represents that the micro-climate under the AVS is in energy-limited condition. The open-field of relatively high soil temperature was in water-limited condition. The different behavior of soil moisture on the AVS should be considered for the sustainable agricultural system as related to water-energy-food nexus.

Various factors reducing seed yield in 4 Larix species throughout the whole reproductive cycle were investigated and partitionate losses attributed to them were determined. Pollen quality, lack of pollination, and degeneration of female gametophyte played minor roles in reducing seed yield. Failure of pollinated ovules to be fertilized was an important factor causing seed loss. Embryo degeneration was also a major factor causing seed loss in all 4 species. Strobili abortion, which causes loss of all potential seeds in a cone, was the most important factor in reducing seed loss in this study. Based on the results obtained from this studs, hybridizations in either direction between European larch and Japanese larch are likely to resulting viable seed. However, hybridization between tamarack as a mother tree and European larch are not likely to result in viable seeds being produced.

This study aimed to investigate the quality characteristics of vegan lentil (Lens culinaris) cookies prepared with different types (butter, rice bran oil, canola oil, and coconut oil) and content (10, 20, and 30 g) of fat and oil. The hardness and pH declined with increased fat and oil content. Spreadability, moisture content and antioxidant activity increased with the fat and oil content. The density declined only when rice bran oil was added. Lightness and yellowness decreased with higher concentrations of vegetable oil. Redness increased as more coconut oil and canola oil were added. Rice bran oil cookies had the highest pH, spreadability, moisture content and antioxidant activity. Butter cookies had the highest lightness value, whereas coconut oil cookies had the highest hardness value. In conclusion, rice bran oil could be a quality substitute for butter when developing vegan cookie products.

The purposes of this study are to prepare Hanji fiber-filter sheets using replacement liquid in water-swollen fiber with non-polar solvent such as ethanol, methanol and pentane. The experiments were studied on the selection of optimal non-polar solvent and the optimal drying method for wetted fiber and then were to know physicochemical characteristics of prepared Hanji fiber-filter sheet. The Ethanol as liquid changer in water-swollen fiber was excellent solvent and the optimal drying method for them was freeze drying served with vacuum pump. The bulk density and porosity of prepared fiber sheet from freeze dryer were 0.11-0.13 g/mL, half of natural dried fiber sheet, and 90%, respectively. The results of SEM observation for the fiber sheet prepared with natural drying or heating drying were shown very close structure of fiber wall in dry state. However, the freeze drying sheet were shown the open structure. So, the head loss of freeze drying sheet was very lower than natural drying and heating drying sheets. From the results of BTEX removal experiments, the sheets dried at water wetted condition was shown more higher efficiency than the fiber sheets dried at solvent wetted condition.

가뭄은 수개월, 수년 이상에 걸쳐 서서히 발생 및 지속되며, 식생에 대한 피해가 발생할 때까지 확실한 인식이 어렵다. 최근에는 기후변화로 인하여 가뭄의 발생빈도가 증가하고 있으며, 기상 이상에 따른 다양한 형태의 가뭄이 발생하고 있다. 미국에서 정의한 'Flash Drought'는 비교적 짧은 기간 동안 표면온도의 상승과 비정상적으로 낮고 빠르게 감소하는 토양수분으로 인하여 식생에 대한 극심한 스트레스를 유발하면서 광범위한 작물 손실 및 용수공급 감소 등에 대한 피해를 야기하는 가뭄이다. 국내에서는 Flash Drought에 대한 모니터링이 활성화되지 않았기 때문에 본 연구에서는 '돌발가뭄'이라는 새로운 정의를 제시하면서 토양수분, 증발산량, 강수량, 기온 등의 가뭄 관련 주요인자를 활용하여 국내에서 발생한 돌발가뭄 (Flash Drought)를 감지하고 분석하고자 하였다. 돌발가뭄을 분석하기 위하여 선행연구에서 제시한 가뭄 관련 주요인자 기준 유형, 증발산량 기반 가뭄지수를 활용한 유형 등을 활용하였으며, 지상관측자료로는 국내 76개 종관기상관측 자료를 활용하였다. 또한, 토양수분 자료는 GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) 위성영상 자료를 취득한 후 5 km 공간해상도 자료로 활용하였다. 가뭄지수의 경우 증발산 기반 가뭄지수 중 표준강수증발산지수 SPEI (Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration), 증발스트레스지수 ESI (Evaporative Stress Index) 등을 활용하여 국내 돌발가뭄 유형에 대한 분석에 적용하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 아직 명확하게 정의되지 않은 돌발가뭄에 대한 유형별 분석 및 국내 돌발가뭄의 수문기상학적 특성을 분석하고자 한다.

We investigated the effects of the amount of margarine and the number of layers on moisture content, baking loss, volume, hardness, maximum weight, and vapor action of the Danish pastry. The moisture content of Danish pastry increased slightly with the amount of margarine, as did the number of layers. The moisture content for a certain number of layers decreased as the amount of margarine increased. The baking loss with a fixed amount of margarine varied inversely with the number of layers, while the loss with a given number of layers decreased in proportion with the margarine content. The maximum volume of Danish pastry was obtained with 30% margarine-18 layers, 50%-27 layers, 70%-36 layers, 90%-48 layers and 110%-48 layers. The hardness and maximum weight of Danish pastry also varied inversely with the margarine content for a given number of layers, and decreased at a same margarine content when the number of layers increased. The maximum volume of the Danish pastry was obtained when vapor action was 9-16mm and 17-24mm. The optimal vapor action was in the range 9-24mm. In this range, the volume of the pastry was proportional to the vapor action.

To investigate the transformation characteristics of nitrogen and carbon from cow manure compost amended in soil under different moisture conditions, dynamics of nitrogen and carbon were determined periodically for 15 weeks of aerobic incubation at room temperature during July${\sim}$November, 1996. Cow manure compost matured with mixing saw dust was amended with the 4 ratios (0, 2, 4, 6%(wt/wt)) in Ap horizon soil, which collected from green house in Yesan, Chungnam. Moisture was controlled with 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5 of mass water conte nt (${\theta}$m) to air dried soil, and water loss was compensated at every sampling. During incubation, soil pH was decreased continuously, that was caused by hydrogen generated from nitrification of ammonium nitrogen. And pH became higher with inclining cow manure compost amendment and water treatment, that meaned the increase of mineralization of organic-N to $NH_4\;^+-N$. Total nitrogen was reduced with increasing water content, but total carbon showed the contrast tendency with that of nitrogen. Therefore, C/N ratio slightly decreased in the low water condition (${\theta}$m 0.2) during incubation, but increased continuously in high water condition over ${\theta}$m 0.4. As a result, it was assumed that soil fertility is able to be reduced in the high water content over available water content. Nitrate transformation rate increased lasting in the low water content less than ${\theta}$m 0.3. Itdropped significantly in the first $2{\sim}3$ weeks of incubation over ${\theta}$m 0.4. In particular, nitrate was not detected in ${\theta}$m 0.5 of water content after the first $2{\sim}3$ weeks. In contrast, ammonium transformation was inclined with increasing water treatment. Nitrogen mineralization rate, which calculated with percentage ratio of (the sum of ex.$NH_4\;^+-N$ and $NO_3\;^--N$)/total nitrogen, was continuously increased in the low water content of ${\theta}$m 0.2 and 0.3. But it saw the different patterns in high water content over ${\theta}$m 0.4 that was drastically declined in the initial stage and then gradually inclined . From the above results, nitrogen transformation patterns differentiated decisively in water content between ${\theta}$m 0.3 and 0.4 in soil. Thus, it is very important for the maintain of suitable soil water content to enhance fertility of soil amended with manure compost. However, excess treatment of manure compost might enhance the possibility of contamination of small watershed and ground water around agricultural area.

This study investigated the effect of roasted rice bran (RRB) on bread quality. Bread containing RRB showed small and specific loaf volumes. Baking and cooling loss rates of bread with RRB were lower than bread without RRB. The pH of bread decreased and total titratable acidity increased with increase in the amount of RRB. Water activity (Aw) and moisture contents of bread increased with RRB levels in bread. Bread containing RRB presented lower L value and higher redness (a) and yellowness (b) values. Crumb hardness, springiness, and gumminess increased, whereas cohesiveness decreased upon addition of RRB. Addition of 5% RRB resulted in higher scores in sensory evaluation than the control, however, bread with 15% RRB had the lowest score. Therefore, 5% RRB can be used in bread production.

This study attempted to investigate the perception of safety of regular polish and gel polish and degree of nail damage. For this, a questionnaire survey and an experiment were performed against women in their 20-50s, and the results found the followings: In terms of effectiveness, safety and degree of nail damage, gel polish was higher than regular polish. In addition, moisture/sebum levels and trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) decreased after the experiment. Specifically, such reduction was greater in gel polish. When the nail surface was observed by a scanning electron microscope (SEM) after polish removal, gel polish revealed severe nail damage. The above results confirm that gel polish is greater than regular polish in terms of influence on the degree of nail damage. Therefore, it is anticipated that the study results would be available as basic data in keeping nails healthy and beautiful.
