현재 유통되고 있는 일반백미의 경우 소비자가 밥을 짓기 위해서는 쌀을 씻어야하는 번거로움 뿐만아니라 쌀 중량의 약 15배의 물이 소요되고, 또한 이때 발생된 쌀뜨물이 수질오염의 원인이 되기 때문에 무세미가공 및 보급 필요성이 점차 높아지고 있다. 무세미 가공분야의 선진국인 일본의 경우 ‘92년부터 습식 무세미조제기가 실용화되기 시작, 현재 사다께 등 6개사에서 기계장치를 생산보급 하고 있으며, 무세미의 유통도 일반화되어가고 있는 추세이다. 국내의 경우 무세미조제기는 근래에서야 습식 무세미 조제설비가 국산화되어 보급초기 단계 있으며, 무세미의 안정적 가공 및 보급을 위해서는 앞으로 많은 연구가 이루어져야 할 것으로 생각된다. 특히 습식의 경우 쌀이 물에 접촉하는 시간이 길 경우 품질저하의 우려가 크고, 쌀중량의 1.4배에 해당하는 물이 가공과정에 필요하기 때문에 물사용량을 억제할수 있는 가공기술의 개발 필요성이 커지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 물사용량을 최소화 할 수 있는 무세미 조제시스템을 개발하고자 하였으며, 주요결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 시작기는 연마 및 공기세척부, 정전기 세척부, 미세가수세척부로 구성하여 쌀이 단계적으로 세척될 수 있도록 제작되었다. 성능시험 결과, 각 세척공정별 세척수의 탁도 감소효과는 연마 및 공기크리닝부에서 22.67ppm, 정전기 크리닝부에서 8.33ppm, 미세가수세척부에서 17.34 ppm이 감소되는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 정전기세척부의 탁도감소 효과는 다른 두공정에 비해 작지만 제거가 쉽지 않은 미세한 쌀겨들을 제거하여 탁도를 개선을 시켰기 때문에 미세가수세척장치에서 가수량을 적게 사용하는데 기여한 것으로 판단된다. 가공시 적정 탁도를 확보할 수 있는 가수량은 430cc/kg로 기존의 습식에 비해 약 69%정도 세척수 절감효과가 있었다. 이때 미세가수세척부의 원통스크린 회전수는 108, 205rpm범위가 적정한 것으로 나타났다. 쌀의 품위는 탁도가 가공전 97.33ppm(일반백미)에서 가공후 최대 48.00ppm으로 낮아졌으며, 백도도 가공전 36.80에서 42.80으로 향상되어 씻지 않고도 밥을 지을수 있는 무세미 가공이 가능하였다. 이밖에 쇄립률은 가공전 5.30%에서 7.37%로 다소 증가하는 것으로 나타났고, 함수율은 가공전 15.60%에서 15.80%로 약 0.2%가 증가하였으나 기존의 연구결과에 비춰볼 때 문제가 되지 않을 것으로 여겨진다.

This study was conducted to estimate the heavy metal contents of vegetables available on the markets in Seoul area. Concentrations of mercury (Hg), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), chrome (Cr), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn) were measured in 300 samples using a mercury analyzer and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES) after wet digestion. The average values of heavy metals in vegetables were as follows [mean (minimum~maximum), mg/kg]; Hg: 0.0005 (N.D~0.007), Pb: 0.011 (N.D~0.259), Cd: 0.012 (N.D~0.188), As: 0.002 (N.D~0.142), Cr: 0.100 (0.019~0.954), Ni: 0.093 (0.003~1.231), Cu: 1.098 (0.072~36.29), and Zn: 3.48 (0.485~21.31). The heavy metal contents of vegetables available on the markets in Seoul were almost the same as or lower than those reported in other studies. The weekly average intakes of mercury, lead and cadmium from vegetables take 0.44~7.71% of PTWI (Provisional Tolerable Weekly Intakes) that the FAO/WHO Joint Food Additive and Contaminants Committee sets for evaluation of food safety.

Temporal and spatial distributions of salinity, temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), and turbidity were investigated at seven sites in the upper regions of brackish Lake Sihwa with a limited water exchange, from March to October 2005. During the study period, salinity and temperature varied $0.1{\sim}29.9\;psu$ and $4.7{\sim}28.1^{\circ}C$, respectively, depending on seasons and sites sampled. A distinct halocline profile showing the maximum density gradient (difference over $20\;psu\;m^{-1}$ between surface and bottom layers) was observed during the rainy season, due to the decrease of salinity in surface layers by freshwater inflow. This result implies that rainfall event is the important factor forming the halocline. On the other hand, the depth and location of haloeline varied with the amount of seawater through the sluice gates and the operation systems (inflow or outflow). High DO (over 300% saturation) was observed at surface layer above the halocline in April when red tide occurred, whereas low DO (below 20% saturation) was at the bottom layer below the halocline in the rainy season. Turbidity ranged $1.5{\sim}80.3\;NTU$ showing the maximum turbidity at the layers above or upper the halocline. As a result, the distributions of DO and turbidity in the upper regions of brackish Lake Sihwa were largely affected by the variation of salinity. Also, when the halocline was formed, the water quality between upper and lower water layers may be expected completely different. This study suggests that the physicochemical characteristics of water in the brackish regions are closely associated with the causes of eutrophication such as red tide and DO deficit.

Recently, two international standard organizations, ISO and OGC, have done the work of standardization for GIS. Current standardization work for providing interoperability among GIS DB focuses on the design of open interfaces. But, this work has not considered procedures and methods for designing GIS DB. Eventually, GIS DB has its own model. When we share the data by open interface among heterogeneous GIS DB, differences between models result in the loss of information. Our aim in this paper is to revise the design guidelines for geographic information databases in order to make consistent spatial data models, logical structures, and semantic structure of populated geographical databases. In details, we propose standard guidelines which convert ISO abstract schema into relation model, object-relation model, object-centered model, and geometry-centered model. Furthermore, we provide sample models for applying these guidelines in commercial GIS S/Ws. Building GIS DB based on design guidelines proposed in the paper has the following advantages: the interoperability among databases, the standardization of schema definitions, and the catalogue of GIS databases through.

This study was carried out to investigate the toxicity of food Red No.2 in the Sprague-Dawley (SD) female rat for 4 weeks. SD rats were orally administered for 28 days, with dosage of 500, 1,000, 2,000 mg/kg/day. Animals treated with food Red No.2 did not cause any death and show any clinical signs. They did not show any significant changes of body weight, feed uptake and water consumption. There were not significantly different from the control group in urinalysis, hematological, serum biochemical value and histopathological examination. In conclusion, 4 weeks of the repetitive oral medication of food Red No.2 has resulted no alteration of toxicity according to the test materials in the group of female rats with injection of 2,000 mg/kg. Therefore, food Red No.2 was not indicated to have any toxic effect in the SD rats, when it was orally administered below the dosage 2,000 mg/kg/day for 4 weeks.
