Possible application of hurdle technology extention of shelf-life of fresh-cut apples was investigated by evaluating various hurdle factors known to be effective microbial growth inhibitors and their synergistic effects. Fresh-cut apples treated with chitooligosaccharide or grapefruit seed extract (GSE) showed higher microbial counts than those treated with distilled water during latter half of storage period, and at high concentrations. Citric and malic acids showed similar results, although microbial counts of fresh-cut apples treated with 0.75% or higher concentration of citric acid increased at 4 days of storage at $18^{\circ}C$, indicating malic acid is more effective than all hurdles tested for controlling microbial growth. Using ascorbic acid and calcium chloride as additional hurdles to control browning and softening, minimum and maximum compositions of dipping solution were: 0.25 : 0.5 : 0.25% and 0.75 : 1.0 : 0.75% malic acid: ascorbic acid: calcium chloride, respectively.

The purpose of this study is to suggest the policy direction for promoting Korean grape, Shine Muscat, export to China. For this, the data were collected from 102 Chinese who live in Guangzhou province. The survey was conducted from Oct 10th to 13th 2017. PLS-SEM model is used to investigate the main factors that cause the Chinese consumers to purchase Korean grape, Shine Muscat. This study finds that the post-evaluation factor is more important to obtain final evaluation and to purchase Korean grape in the future. Thus farmers and research institutes should investigate how to improve the quality for the sweetness and the texture of the grape, reflecting the Chinese consumers' preference.

In a speech coding system using excitation source of voiced and unvoiced, it would be involved a distortion of speech qualify in case coexist with a voiced and an unvoiced consonants in a frame. So, We proposed TS(Transition Segment) including unvoiced consonant searching and extraction method in order to uncoexistent with a voiced and unvoiced consonants in a frame. This research present a new method of TS approximate-synthesis by using Least Mean Square and frequency band division. As a result, this method obtain a high quality approximation-synthesis waveforms within TS by using frequency information of 0.547kHz below and 2.813kHz above. The important thing is that the maximum error signal can be made with low distortion approximation-synthesis waveform within TS. This method has the capability of being applied to a new speech coding of Voiced/Silence/TS, speech analysis and speech synthesis.

Two fundamental aspects of speech summary generation are the extraction of key speech content and the style of presentation of the extracted speech synopses. We first investigated whether acoustic features (speaking rate, pitch pattern, and intensity) are equally important and, if not, which one can be effectively modeled to compute the significance of segments for lecture summarization. As a result, we found that the intensity (that is, difference between max DB and min DB) is the most efficient factor for speech summarization. We evaluated the intensity-based method of using the difference between max-DB and min-DB by comparing it to the keyword-based method in terms of which method produces better speech summaries and of how similar weight values assigned to segments by two methods are. Then, we investigated the way to present speech summaries to the viewers. As such, for speech summarization, we suggested how to extract key segments from a speech video efficiently using acoustic features and then present the extracted segments to the viewers.

In this paper, we designed, constructed and evaluated the system for the FTTH suited to a residence and apartment using CWDM-PON techniques. These systems have capacity to service at 100Mbps rate to 384 users in the same breath. Also, the services include the internet, CATV, IPTV and wireless LAN. In the case of ire network, the data could be transmitted by UTP cable and optical fiber and case of wireless one, the data transmitted using WLAN. The distance between the cental office and the user is 20km and the data rate is 100Mbps maximum. Of course, the optical network used just one fiber optical core. For the basic material, we obtained the characteristics of optical transceiver module, Mux/Demux and transmission qualities depends on the environment.

We propose in this paper a novel approach to image fusion in which the fusion rule is guided by optimizing an image clarity function. A Genetic Algorithm is used to stochastically select, comparative to the clarity function, the optimum block from among the source images. A novel nested Genetic Algorithm with gifted individuals found through bombardment of genes by the mutation operator is designed and implemented. Convergence of the algorithm is analytically and empirically examined and statistically compared (MANOVA) with the canonical GA using 3 test functions commonly used in the GA literature. The resulting GA is invariant to parameters and population size, and a minimal size of 20 individuals is found to be sufficient in the tests. In the fusion application, each individual in the population is a finite sequence of discrete values that represent input blocks. Performance of the proposed technique applied to image fusion experiments, is characterized in terms of Mutual Information (MI) as the output quality measure. The method is tested with C=2 input images. The results of the proposed scheme indicate a practical and attractive alternative to current multi-focus image fusion techniques.

In this paper, we propose and analyze a novel interference cancellation scheme in cooperation communication environment in which a large number of users exist. In cooperative communication system consisting a source, destination, and relay, ad-hoc groups undergo a rapid degradation because of interference data form adjacent ad-hoc groups. To solve these problems, we propose Zero Forcing (FC) and Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) and make a dent in the magnitude of interference. Finally, we can obtain orignal data using Successive Interference Cancellation (SIC). The performance of proposed scheme is analyzed in terms of a bit error probability. The results of the paper can be applied to design of various ad-hoc networks for cooperation communication systems.

Previous studies have considered the permeability and construction method of paving materials, thus focusing on more practical issues rather than basic research of their properties. The present study investigated the possibility of using an elastic paving material having lesser thickness in the resurfacing of existing concrete or asphalt paved areas while satisfying the necessary conditions of resilience and water permeability. An alternative to complete reconstruction would reduce the amount of resource wastage and environmental pollution, as well as the cost of projects. This study investigated five variants of thickness (10, 13, 15, 20, 25mm) and three mixing ratios of binder to rubber chips (20, 22.5, 25%) to ascertain the ideal basic properties of each. The obtained test data revealed that a minimum thickness(10~25mm) of the elastic paving materials can be determined from a qualitative point of view, and alternatives should be provided to improve the durability of the paving material on account of the temperature sensitivity.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics and antioxidant activity on consequent storage based on the temperature of new cultivar dew-drop pine mushroom (Lentinula edodes GNA01). Methods: Dewdrop Pine Mushroom were prepared under different storeage temperature (4, 10, $20^{\circ}C$). Results: Weight loss and hardness showed the least reduction rate when it was stored at $4^{\circ}C$ (p<0.05). The color value changed to dark brown at all storage temperatures during the storage period. When it was stored at $4^{\circ}C$, it maintained its initial color for a longer period than at different storage temperatures. With respect to the change in its viable cell count, the cells proliferated to less than 3.0 log CFU/g up to Ed: Please review the change. The earlier part was difficult to understand 2.83 log CFU/g until 15 days of storage at $4^{\circ}C$. On measuring the antioxidant activity of this mushroom, the polyphenol content was maintained without a large change until 9 days of storage at $4^{\circ}C$. The electron-donating action maintained high antioxidant activity, accounting for 81.99% until 12 days of storage from 83.08% during the initial storage at $4^{\circ}C$. When it was stored at $4^{\circ}C$, the sensory characteristics received the highest score among all items, such as appeaance, color, flavor and general preference, etc. Concolusion: In summary, new Cultivar Dewdrop Pine Mushroom (Lentinula edodes GNA01) can maintain its commercial value until the 12th day of $4^{\circ}C$ storage.

This study aimed to evaluate of the hardened properties (mortar consistency, setting time, absorption properties, drying shrinkage, and bond strength) of the basalt powder sludge mortar recycling a basalt powder sludge occurred during the manufacture process of basalt stone as a replacing material for the sea-sand used to cement filling compound for surface preparation. The hardened mortar made of the basalt powder sludge showed an enhanced performance or similar with the properties of normal mortar used to cement filling compound for surface preparation. But, the drying shrinkage was increased more than a normal cement mortar in the hardened mortar made of the basalt powder sludge since curing 8 - 9days. And the bond strength is low in the hardened mortar used the basalt powder sludge. On the whole, properties of the hardened mortar used the basalt powder sludge correspond to the required minimum quality criterion in the KS F 4716 'cement filling compound for surface preparation'.
