Organic fertilizer preparation was developed with organic materials to improve growth and qualities of cool-season turfgrass species. Organic fertilizer preparation were contained with essential macronutrient elements and organic matter for growth of cool season turfgrass. Four preparations of organic fertilizers were tested on creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris Huds) cultivar Penn-A1 and Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) mixed cultivars (Midnight 33%, Moonlight 33%, and Prosperity 33%) by one time application on fifty days after sowing. Two species of cool season turfgrasses were evaluated on turfgrass coverage, growth on NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) and qualities from fall season to spring season in sod producing farm. It were found significantly difference found on turfgrass coverage, turf color, chlorophyll contents and growth increase on two species of cool season turfgrasses. Turfgrass coverage, chlorophyll content, turf color and growth increase of organic fertilizer preparation were significantly increased on creeping bentgrass cultivar and Kentucky bluegrass mixed cultivar for six time investigation in spring season. These results may indicate that the use of some preparation is beneficial for sod producing sod and turfgrass management.

최근에 에너지 자원의 고갈이 다가오는 상황에서 태양전지 분야가 주목받고 있으며 이에 대한 시장이 급격하게 확대되고 있다. 그러나 현재의 태양전지는 주를 이루고있는 실리콘태양전지의 경우 원재료 수급이 불안정하여 가격 변동이 심하다. 따라서 이를 대체할 2세대 태양전지인 박막형 태양전지의 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 박막형 태양전지 중에서도 주목받고 있는 것은 Cu(In,Ga)$Se_2$(CIGS)박막 태양전지이다. CIGS는 Ga의 농도에 따라 1.02~1.68eV의 다양한 에너지 밴드갭을 갖는 직접천이형 반도체 물질이다. 또한 $1{\times}10^5cm^{-1}$의 높은 광흡수계수를 가지고 있으며, $450{\sim}590^{\circ}C$의 고온공정에서도 매우 안정하여 열화현상이 거의 보이지 않아 박막형 광흡수층 재료로서 적합하다. 흡수층을 제조하는 방법은 여러 가지가 있지만, 본 연구에서는 균일성이 뛰어나고 원료사용효율이 높은 sputtering 방법을 사용하였다. 그리고 결정화하기위해서 유독기체를 사용하는 셀.렌.화. (selenization) 방법 대신 전자빔을 조사하는 방법을 채택하였다. sputtering을 통한 CIGS precursor을 제조하기위해 2~3개의 화합물target을 사용하는데, 대표적인 방법으로 동시에 sputtering하는 co-sputtering 방법과 각각의 단일 층을 쌓아 제조하는 stack형으로 분류된다. 본 연구는 CIGS precursor를 제조하기 앞서 CuGa 단일 층만을 제조하여 공정조건에 따른 박막을 제조하였다. 제조된 CuGa 단일층은 전자빔 처리에 따른 영향을 알아보기 위해 전자빔의 세기와 공정시간을 달리하여 특성을 알아보았다. 실험에서는 Cu:75wt%,Ga:25wt% 조성의 target을 사용하여 공정 압력을 각각 10~1mTorr로 변화시키며 실험을 실시하였으며 공정 power는 50W, 70W, 100W로 변화 시키며 실험을 실시하였다. 이때 실험의 초기진공은 turbo-molecular pump를 이용하여 $1{\times}10^{-6}torr$ 이하로 하였으며, Target과 기판사이의 거리는 모두 같은 조건으로 고정하여 실험을 실시하였다. 박막의 균일성을 증가시키기 위하여 5 rpm의 속도로 기판을 회전하였으며 기판 온도는 가열하지 않고 상온에서 전구체를 증착하였다. 그 후 전자빔의 세기를 고정 시킨 후 전자빔 조사 시간을 조절하여 전자빔 조사 전후의 특성을 각각 분석하였다. 전기적특성은 Hall effect, 4-point probe, 구조적 특성은 SEM,EDS, XRD, XRF 를 이용하여 분석하였다.

Maillard reaction products (MRPs) were produced from aqueous solution of various sugars with hydrolyzed wheat gluten (HWG) with different temperatures, pressures, pH values and solvents. The physicochemical properties of MRPs were investigated and DPPH and hydroxyl radical scavenging activity and sensory properties were also assessed. MRPs from ribose and HWG evidenced the highest preference for meaty flavor and antioxidant activity and also evidenced higher antioxidant activity with larger pH reductions and higher browning index increases than were observed in other MRPs. The antioxidant activities were increased with increased reaction temperature and pressure. The most preferred meaty flavor was obtained from MRPs with ribose at 140$^{\circ}C$ in an oil bath with the pH adjusted to 9 in water as a solvent, and heated for 30 mins.

As the demand for natural gas increases with industrial development, the supply of natural gas is expected to become unstable with a shortage of imported natural gas. It is hence necessary to meet this demand by introducing and developing various types of natural gas, such as pipeline natural gas (PNG) and substituted natural gas (SNG), in addition to liquefied natural gas (LNG). The components included in PNG as well as their concentrations must be measured accurately, and a standard gas should be developed to accurately measure hydrocarbons ($C_6-C_{10}$), which are trace components included in natural gas. The components in the primary standard gas mixtures (PSMs) developed in the present study were hexane, heptane, octane, nonane, and decane with concentrations of $10-30{\mu}mol/mol$ with methane as the balance gas. Standard hydrocarbon ($C_6-C_{10}$) gas mixtures were prepared in aluminum cylinders by a gravimetric method with traceability following ISO 6142 with raw material gases, for which the purity of each component was analyzed completely. The prepared standard gas mixtures were analyzed by to evaluate the preparation consistency between the standard gas mixtures, the adsorbability of the cylinders, the variation of the stability, and the uncertainty. The results showed that aluminum cylinders have little adsorptive loss on their internal surfaces with excellent long-term stability. The developed standard gas mixture, containing hexane, heptane, octane, nonane, and decane with concentrations of $10-30{\mu}mol/mol$, showed an uncertainty in a range of 0.79 % - 1.63 %.

The production of GABA was optimized by co-cultivation of immobilized Lactobacillus plantarum K154 (ILK) with Ceriporia lacerata cultures. The mycelial culture of C. lacerata was performed in a defined medium containing 3% glucose, 3% soybean flour, and 0.15% $MgSO_4$ in a submerged condition for 7 days at $25^{\circ}C$, resulting in the production of 29.7 g/L mycelia, 3.1 g/L exopolysaccharides, 2% (w/w) ${\beta}$-glucan, 68.96 unit/mL protease, and 10.37 unit/mL ${\alpha}$-amylase. ILK in C. lacerata culture showed viable cell counts of $3.13{\time}10^9CFU/mL$ for immobilized cells and $1.48{\time}10^8CFU/mL$ for free cells after 1 day. GABA production in the free and immobilized cells was 9.96 mg/mL and 6.30 mg/mL, respectively, after 7 days. A recycling test of ILK in the co-fermentation was consequently performed five times at $30^{\circ}C$ for 15 days, resulting in the highest production of GABA. GABA could also be efficiently overproduced by co-cultivation with the produced polysaccharides, ${\beta}$-glucan, peptides, and probiotics.

The objective of the study was to investigate the off-flavor generated from PET water bottles and their caps by using a mass spectrometry-based electronic nose. The ion fragment data obtained from the electronic nose were used for discriminant function analysis (DFA). In the case of increased concentrations of the contamination of water, the off-flavor pattern depended on the discriminant function second score instead of the discriminant function first score. To identify the cause of off-flavor in polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottled water, the PET bottle and its cap were analyzed by DFA. The results showed that the cap generated more volatile compounds than the bottle or mineral water did. The substances causing the off-flavor were predicted to be 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol (2,4-DTBP), nonanal, and decanal when the main peak of the mass spectrum was compared with the major ion fragments of the electronic nose. Thus, using this method, we could determine whether the PET water bottle was contaminated and whether the off-flavor resulted from contamination of the bottle cap.

Salt, or sodium chloride (NaCl), is a critical ingredient in many foods. It has roles in the flavor profiles of food products, textures of foods and preservation of foods against microbes. However, it increases risks of hypertension and is closely related to the development of cardiovascular disease. In recent years, health concerns related to sodium intake caused an increased demand for salt-reduced products in worldwide; it became necessary to develop natural salt-alternative products that are globally competitive. In a recent study, researchers succeeded in obtaining a natural salt enhancer through the hydrolysis of vegetable- and animal-matter mixtures. This study used various methods to identify and quantify peptide-containing arginine as a salt-alternative peptide (SAP) in an optimum combination. Arginine, or dipeptide-containing arginine, was analyzed as a standard substance using an NMR spectroscopy. The NMR carbon signal of the guanidine group of the standard substance was verified in a similar location (the L-arginine (Arg) was 156.8 ppm, the Arg-Alanine was 156.4 ppm and the Arg-Serine was 156.4 ppm). The results suggested that it is possible to analyze peptide-containing arginine quantitatively through the hydrolysis of vegetable- and animal-matter mixtures.

A study relating the sugar contents of radishes to the final titratable acidities(TA) after complete fermentation was conducted to get an idea of selecting radish varieties to improve storage stabilities of fermented pickled radish cubes. Thirty six varieties of spring-sowing and thirty four varieties of autumn-sowing radishes were chosen to ferment to measure their final TA in relation to their sugar contents. The sugar contents of spring-sowing radishes were in the range from 2.40 to $3.71^{\circ}\;Brix$ and the final TA ranged from 1.15 to 1.65%. The sugar contents of autumn-sowing radishes were in the range from 4.00 to $5.53^{\circ}\;Brix$ and the final TA ranged from 1.45 to 2.00%. The final TA obtained after complete fermentation were found to be directly proportional to the sugar contents of radishes, showing that TA equals to 0.29x+0.4428, where x is sugar content of radish. From the equation, since a properly aged fermented pickled vegetable is believed to have a TA range from 0.6 to 0.8%, a radish of a sugar content ranging from 0.6 to $1.3^{\circ}\;Brix$ will make fermented pickled radish cubes which will not be overacidified during the prolonged storage period.

For dolomite clinkers used as stamp materials the corrosion behavior of those by molten steel was investigated in therange of temperatures between 1550$^{\circ}C$ and 1600$^{\circ}C$ IN hot face the dicalciumferrite of magnesioferrite and dicalciumferrite formed within dolomite clinkers was preferentially dissolved into molten steel and the protective layer of magnesioferrite was formed. For dolomite clinker without Fe2O3 magnesioferrite maintained the skeleton of MgO while the skeleton of CaO disappered bythe formation of dicalciumferrite and it existed as grain boundary phases of magnesioferrite. For dolomite clinker with Fe2O3 was diffused into hot face by the decomposition of dicalciumferrite. With increasing temperature of molten steel the formation depth of dicalciumferrite was increased and the magnesioferrite layer in hot face was decreased for dolomite clinker without Fe2O3 while the layer thickness and grain sizes of magnesioferrite in hot face was decreased for dolomite clinker without Fe2O3 while the layer thickness an grain sizes of magnesioferrite in hot face was increased due to the increment of the decomposition reaction of dicalciumferrite for dolomite clinker with Fe2O3.
