The objective of this research was to classify intact soybeans and foreign objects using near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. Intact soybeans and foreign objects were scanned using a NIR spectrometer equipped with scanning monochromator. NIR spectra of intact soybeans and foreign objects in the wavelength range from 900 to 1800 nm were collected. The classification of intact soybeans and foreign objects were conducted by using partial least-square discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and soft independent modelling of class analogy (SIMCA) multivariate methods. Various types of data pretreatments were tested to develop the classification models. Intact soybeans and foreign objects were successfully classified by the PLS-DA prediction model with mean normalization pretreatment. These results showed the potential of NIR spectroscopy combined with multivariate analysis as a method for classifying intact soybeans and foreign objects.

Due to the difficulties in forecasting the intensity and the source location of tsunami the countermeasures prepared based on the deterministic approach fail to work properly. Thus, there is an increasing demand of the tsunami hazard analyses that consider the uncertainties of tsunami behavior in probabilistic approach. In this paper a fundamental study is conducted to perform the probabilistic tsunami hazard analysis (PTHA) for the tsunamis that caused the disaster to the east coast of Korea. A logic tree approach is employed to consider the uncertainties of the initial free surface displacement and the tsunami height distribution along the coast. The branches of the logic tree are constructed by reflecting characteristics of tsunamis that have attacked the east coast of Korea. The computational time is nonlinearly increasing if the number of branches increases in the process of extracting the fractile curves. Thus, an improved method valid even for the case of a huge number of branches is proposed to save the computational time. The performance of the discrete weight distribution method proposed first in this study is compared with those of the conventional sorting method and the Monte Carlo method. The present method is comparable to the conventional methods in its accuracy, and is efficient in the sense of computational time when compared with the conventional sorting method. The Monte Carlo method, however, is more efficient than the other two methods if the number of branches and the number of fault segments increase significantly.

The purpose of this study is to compare the physical, psychological, and social well-being of elderly women living in rural areas depending on their participation in swimming activities. Study sample consisted of 41 elderly women residing in the G province of C region who participated in swimming activities at least 3 times per week for one or more years, and 43 elderly women of the same area who did not participate in swimming activities. Data was collected over the course of 6 weeks. Analysis of the data showed that there are significant differences between participants and non-participants of swimming activities in their physical well-being(pain, flexibility), psychological well-being(perceived health status, depression), and their social well-being(strengthened interpersonal relations). In other words, participants of swimming activities, compared to non-participants, were in better physical, psychological, and social conditions. Thus, active encouragement and support must be in place for elderly women in rural areas to engage in swimming activities by utilizing local swimming facilities.

Tylosin is a potent veterinary macrolide antibiotic produced by the fermentation of Streptomyces fradiae; however, it is necessary to modify S. fradiae strains to improve tylosin production. In this study, we established a high-throughput, 24-well plate screening method for identifying S. fradiae strains that produce increased yields of tylosin. Additionally, we constructed mutant libraries of S. fradiae via ultraviolet (UV) irradiation and/or sodium nitrite mutagenesis. A primary screening of the libraries in 24-well plates and UV spectrophotometry identified S. fradiae mutants producing increased yields of tylosin. Mutants with tylosin yield 10% higher than the wild-type strain were inoculated into shake flasks, and the tylosin concentrations produced were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Joint (UV irradiation and sodium nitrite) mutagenesis resulted in higher yields of mutants with enhanced tylosin production. Finally, 10 mutants showing higher tylosin yield were re-screened in shake flasks. The yield of tylosin A by strains UN-C183 (6767.64 ± 82.43 ㎍/ml) and UN-C137 (6889.72 ± 70.25 ㎍/ml) was significantly higher than that of the wild-type strain (6617.99 ± 22.67 ㎍/ml). These mutant strains will form the basis for further strain breeding in tylosin production.

This study investigated the response time and patterns of categorical perception of the wh-scope of an embedded clause with the non-bridge verb, "gung-geum hada 'wonder'," in the matrix verb phrase in Gyeongsang Korean. Using the same procedure as Yun (2022), 72 responses and response times for each stimulus were collected from 24 participants over the course of three trials. The stimuli were recorded readings of 40 speakers (20 male, 20 female). Context was provided to induce a matrix scope interpretation of the embedded wh-phrase in the target sentence. We sorted the 40 stimuli according to the number of matrix scope responses each received, and charted the response times for each stimulus. Although there was considerable overlap for the different types of wh-scope interpretations, there was a clear difference in categorical perception between the matrix and embedded scopes. The 24 participants also differed in their categorical perceptions. The results suggested that response time and wh-scope interpretation were not directly related and that two main weighted factors affected wh-scope interpretation: morpho-syntactic constraints and prosodic structural integrity. The weighting of each of these factors was inversely correlated and varied among subjects.

The purpose of this study was to address the current status of hospital-based home care(HBHC). We analyzed the data on HBHC from national electronic data information of Health Insurance Review Agency. Beside, we surveyed 75 hospital-based home care agency. In 2006, 20,343 elderly(64.0% from all HBHC user) used 333,889 visits(76.8%from all visits). Medical diagnosis was composed of circulatory disease including cerebrovascular diseases 41.3%, endocrine system disease including Diabetes mellitus 10.4%, neoplasm 9.7%. Some of subjects used HBHC in excess of maximum covered 8 visits a month by National Health Insurance, decubitus 7.0%, the cancer 5.4%, the diabetes 2.5%, the hypertension 1.1%, and the stroke 0.9%. This results will contribute to expand the coverage of hospital-based home care by National Health Insurance. There was distribution difference in medical diagnosis and nursing intervention between HBHC and Public health center-based home care(PBHC) subjects. Therefore, HBHC subjects had more severe medical diagnosis, and were intervened more injections, examinations, than PBHC subjects. These differences must be considered to set up functional role among the three types of home visit care.

Biosurfactants reduce surface and interfacial tension due to their amphiphilic properties and are an eco-friendly alternative for chemical surfactants. In this study, a new yeast strain JAF-11 that produces a biosurfactant was selected using drop collapse method, and the properties of the extracts were investigated. The nucleotide sequences of the strain were compared with closely related strains and identified based on the D1/D2 domain of the large subunit ribosomal DNA (LSU) and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions. Neodothiora populina CPC 39399^T, the closest species with strain JAF-11, showed a sequence similarity of 97.75% for LSU and 94.27% for ITS, respectively. The result suggests that the strain JAF-11 represents a distinct species that cannot be assigned to any existing genus or species in the family Dothideaceae. Strain JAF-11 produced a biosurfactant reducing the surface tension of water from 72 mN/m to 34.5 mN/m on the sixth day of culture and the result of measuring the critical micelle concentration (CMC) by extracting the crude biosurfactant was found to be 24 mg/l. The molecular weight 502 of the purified biosurfactant was confirmed by measuring the fast atom bombardment mass spectrum. The chemical structure was analyzed by measuring ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), ¹³C NMR, and two-dimensional NMRs of the compound. The molecular formula was C₂₆H₄₆O₉, and it was composed of one octanoyl group and two hexanoyl groups to myo-inositol moiety. The new biosurfactant is the first report of a compound produced by a new yeast strain, JAF-11.

본 연구의 목적은 약용과 식용으로서의 활용도가 높은 일당귀[Angelica acutiloba (Siebold & Zucc.) Kitagawa]의 GA₃농도에 따른 생육특성을 확인하고, 최적의 재배기술 개발 및 지속가능한 안정적인 작물생산에 대한 기초자료의 제공에 있다. 연구재료는 강원도 태백시에 위치하는 일당귀 재배농가에서 2021년 10월에 채종한 종자를 구입하였고, 영주시 풍기읍에 위치한 연구온실에서 연구를 수행하였다. 일당귀의 종자를 증류수에 48시간 침지 후 GA₃농도 4조건(50 ppm, 100 ppm, 500 ppm, 1,000 ppm)에 24시간 처리 후 72구 포트에 파종 후 출아율과 생육특성을 조사하였다. 연구결과 일당귀 종자는 16일이 경과한 시점부터 출아를 시작하였고, 500 ppm처리구에서 73.3%로 가장 높은 출아율을 나타냈다. 생육특성조사는 출아 후 40일(1차)과 80일(2차) 경과된 시점에서 총 2회를 수행하였는데 1차 생육조사에서는 주근길이와 직경을 제외한 모든 생육특성에서 처리구별 생육의 차이가 확인되지 않았으나 2차 생육조사에서는 지상부와 지하부의 모든 생육특성에서 처리구별 생육의 차이가 확인되었다. 잎수(6.3개)와 주근길이(4.26 cm)는 500 ppm처리구에서 가장 높은 생육량을 나타냈고, 지상부 높이(21.81 cm), 잎길이(9.0 cm), 잎너비(10.77 cm), 주근직경(5.71 mm)은 1,000 ppm처리구에서 가장 높은 생육량을 나타냈다. 따라서 GA₃ 처리에 따른 일당귀의 생육특성은 생육초기보다 후기로 갈수록 발현량이 높게 나타나는 것으로 판단된다. 또한 저농도의 GA₃처리보다 500-1,000 ppm 사이의 처리농도가 적합한 것으로 판단되며, 추후 일당귀의 유용성분 분석을 통한 이화학적 연구가 추가된다면 최적의 재배기술 확립을 통한 안정적인 작물 생산에 기여할 수 있을 것이라 사료된다.
