A major challenge in next generation optical Internet (NGOI) networks based on dense-wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) is the provision of guaranteed quality-of-service (QoS) for a wide variety of multimedia applications. One of the critical issues in NGOI is the routing and wavelength assignment problem that is embossed as very important and plays a key role in improving the global efficiency for capacity utilization. But the previous researches had the delay problem, and the path routed by higher priority nodes may be congested and interfere with potential future multicast session requests. To overcome these problems, in this research we suggest a Priority-based Minimum Interference Path Multicast Routing (PMIPMR) algorithm, a new routing algorithm which finds alternative routes based on node priorities and Virtual Source (VS) nodes that has both splitting and wavelength conversion, and then chooses a path that does not interfere with potential future multicast session requests when congestions occur in the network. The PMIPMR algorithm reduces blocking rate significantly and increases the wavelength utilization by avoiding congestion in future multicast session requests.

Carrot juice inoculated with $2\;{\times}\;10^8\;cfu/mL$ of Escherichia coli was treated with pulsed electric fields(PEF) for the purpose of a development of new cold pasteurization processes. Inactivation of E. coli in carrot juice increased with increase in intensity of the electric field strength and treatment time. The cells were suspended at concentration of ca. $2\;{\times}\;10^8$ cells per ml. A reduction of 4D was obtained at 40 kv/cm and 256 exponential decay pulses at room temperature. Critical electric field strength(Ec) and treatment time(tc) needed for inactivation of E. coli were 11.74 kV/cm and $3.6\;{\mu}s$ at room temperature, respectively. The combination of PEF and thermal treatment inactivated E. coli more effectively. The reductions of up to 5.5D were observed when the carrot juice was treated with PEF of 22.5 kV/cm and $205\;{\mu}s$ at $50^{\circ}C$. PFF treatment did not effect in color, pH, $^{\circ}Brix$, titratable acidity and ${\alpha}-,\;{\beta}-carotene$ contents of carrot juice.

The mechanically stabilized earth wall abutment is an earth structure using a mechanically stabilized earth wall and it uses in-extensional steel reinforcements having excellent friction performance. In order to analyze the pullout behavior of in-extensional steel reinforcements usually applied on the mechanically stabilized earth wall abutment, effects of stiffness and particle-size distributions of backfills and also horizontal spacings were considered in this study. As a result of parametric analyses, the highest pulling force acted on the uppermost reinforcement, and the stiffness and the particle-size distributions of the backfill significantly affected the pulling resistance of the reinforced soils. The internal friction angle of backfills should be at least 25 degrees, the coefficient uniformity factor should be at least 4, and the horizontal spacing of the uppermost steel reinforcement should be less than 25cm. Therefore, in order to secure the pullout resistance of the reinforced soil, it is necessary a properly spacing of reinforcement and more strict quality control for the backfill.

Evaluating the qualitative the qualitative process of water resources by using various indicators, as one of the most prevalent methods for optimal managing of water bodies, is necessary for having one regular plan for protection of water quality. In this study, zoning maps were developed on a yearly basis by collecting and reviewing the process, validating, and performing statistical tests on qualitative parameters҆ data of the Iranian aquifers from 1995 to 2020 using Geographic Information System (GIS), and based on Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW), Radial Basic Function (RBF), and Global Polynomial Interpolation (GPI) methods and Kriging and Co-Kriging techniques in three types including simple, ordinary, and universal. Then, minimum uncertainty and zoning error in addition to proximity for ASE and RMSE amount, was selected as the optimum model. Afterwards, the selected model was zoned by using Scholar and Wilcox. General evaluation of groundwater situation of Iran, revealed that 59.70 and 39.86% of the resources are classified into the class of unsuitable for agricultural and drinking purposes, respectively indicating the crisis of groundwater quality in Iran. Finally, for validating the extracted results, spatial changes in water quality were evaluated using the Groundwater Quality Index (GWQI), indicating high sensitivity of aquifers to small quantitative changes in water level in addition to severe shortage of groundwater reserves in Iran.

LiTaO₃ (Lithium Tantalate) single crystals are widely used in Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) filters due to their excellent piezoelectric and optical properties. High-quality LiTaO₃ single crystals were preferably grown by czochralski methods for RF Saw filter applications. However, if the growth conditions are not optimized, internal cracks and defects which degrade piezoelectric performance tend to occur. To solve these problems, we should consider temperature gradient and thermal insulation to decrease thermal stress. In this study, an iridium cover was added above the iridium crucible to decrease temperature gradients and improve thermal insulation. The simulation results indicated that the temperature in the cen tral region of the melt in creased by up to 8.6 K in the vertical direction an d up to 6.4 K in the radial direction . The addition of the iridium cover resulted in increases in both the maximum and minimum temperatures. In the vertical direction, the maximum temperature increased by 6.4 K and the minimum temperature by 8.5 K. In the horizontal direction, the maximum temperature increased by 2.6 K, and the minimum temperature rose by 2.2 K after applying the cover. The temperature gradient was also reduced with the addition of the iridium cover. The vertical temperature gradient decreased by approximately 39 %, while the radial temperature gradient decreased by 50 %. These results indicate that the iridium cover improves the thermal insulation and reduces the temperature gradient in the furnace.

Purpose: In order to enhance the quality of IMRT as employed in Korea, we developed a remote monitoring system. The feasibility of the system was evaluated by conducting a pilot study. Materials and Methods: The remote monitoring system consisted of a head and neck phantom and a user manual. The phantom contains a target and three OARs (organs at risk) that can be detected on CT images. TLD capsules were inserted at the center of the target and at the OARs. Two film slits for GafchromicEBT film were located on the axial and saggital planes. The user manual contained an IMRT planning guide and instructions for IMRT planning and the delivery process. After the manual and phantom were sent to four institutions, IMRT was planed and delivered. Predicted doses were compared with measured doses. Dose distribution along the two straight lines that intersected at the center of the axial film was measured and compared with the profiles predicted by the plan. Results: The measurements at the target agreed with the predicted dose within a 3% deviation. Doses at the OARs that represented the thyroid glands showed larger deviations (minimum 3.3% and maximum 19.8%). The deviation at OARs that represented the spiral cord was $0.7{\sim}1.4%$. The percentage of dose distributions that showed more than a 5% of deviation on the lines was $7{\sim}27%$ and $7{\sim}14%$ along the horizontal and vertical lines, respectively. Conculsion: Remote monitoring of IMRT using the developed system was feasible. With remote monitoring, the deviation at the target is expected to be small while the deviation at the OARs can be very large. Therefore, a method that is able to investigate the cause of a large deviation needs to be developed. In addition, a more clinically relevant measure for the two-dimensional dose comparison and pass/fail criteria need to be further developed.

In this study, the changes that occurred in the quality of minimally processed sliced Deodeok (Codonopsis lanceolata) in relation to the packing method during storage at $7^{\circ}C$ were investigated. The storage tests were conducted for seven days using PE sealing, but PP sealing and vacuum packaging preserved the Deodeok for 14 days. On the seventh day, the vinyl-packaged Deodeok showed a remarkable fall in quality with 4.5 °Brix, but the PP-sealed and vacuum-packaged Deodeok showed slight falls with 6.4 and $6.8^{\circ}Brix$, respectively. The PE- and PP-sealed Deodeok did not show significant differences in texture and moisture content for two days, and the moisture content was highest in the vacuum-packaged Deodeok during storage. In relation to the total viable cell and the coliform count, the vacuum-packaged Deodeok showed the lowest rate of increment during storage, followed by the others. Thus, the bubble-washed and vacuum-packaged minimally processed sliced Deodeok was found to have the best quality.

This study was conducted to investigate the quality characteristics of instant gruel containing ear mushroom and black rice with the goal of improving the added value and increasing the consumption of ear mushroom. To make ear mushroom instant gruel using the puffing technique, the proportion of white rice to black rice and the amounts of dried ear mushroom added ranged from 75~100% : 25~0% and 0~4%, respectively. Based on rapid visco analysis (RVA) of gruel powder, peak viscosity, holding strength, final viscosity and set back increased as we increased the proportion of dried ear mushroom and decreased that of black rice. The gruel made of 80% white rice : 20% black rice and 3% dried ear mushroom contained $18.53{\mu}g/100g$ vitamin $D_2$, 3.73 g/100 g dietary fiber and is therefore expected to improve bone health and bowel movement. Also, the DPPH free radical scavenging activity for this gruel was 56.7%, which indicates high antioxidant activity. In contrast, using 100% white rice or 75% white rice : 25% black rice adversely affected the taste and flavor of the gruel.

Fertilization is essential to seedling production in nursery culture, but excessive fertilization can contaminate surface and ground water around the nursery. The objective of this study was to find optimal fertilization practice of container seedling production for reducing soil and water contamination around the nursery without compromising seedling quality. This study was conducted to investigate chemical properties of the growth medium, growth performance, chlorophyll fluorescence, and chlorophyll contents of larch ($Larix$ $kaempferi$) growing under three different fertilization treatments (Constant rate, Three stage rate, and Exponential rate fertilization). Root collar diameter and height of larch were not significantly different among treatments even though the nutrient supply of the exponential treatment was half that of the constant and three stage treatments. Chemical properties of the growth medium showed the same trends as root collar diameter and height. The total biomass and seedling quality index (SQI) were higher at Constant than at other treatments, but both SQI of Constant and Exponential were not significantly different. Photochemical efficiency and chlorophyll contents were lower at Exponential than at other treatments, but not significantly different among treatments. Therefore, Exponential fertilization which is 50% fertilizer of other treatments would maximize seedling growth and minimize nutrient loss.
