  • A model using a linear programming technique was developed to operate gates for the optimum management of small of medium size agricultural reservoirs. To predict the inflow into the reservoirs the WASHMO model, which was a single event hydrology model, was modified and used. To test the applicability, the developed model was applied to two reservoirs located in Kyungpook province. The results showed that the model could be used for the optimum gate operation of the agricultural reservoirs.

  • This study was conducted to develop a real-time internal quality evaluation technique for Korean red ginseng using NIR spectroscopy while they were moving to be graded. Internal qualities of Korean red ginseng were defined by color, amount of white core and cavity in the red ginseng. To evaluate the internal quality, PLS (Partial Least Square) model was developed. Spectrum saturation can be occurred when most red ginseng has a sound internal quality expressed by higher light transmittance ratio, but that could not found in the ginseng of internal white core under the same light situation. And, if spectrum saturation is obtained, it is hard to identify the exact information of internal quality. In order to evaluate of the internal quality regardless of having internal normal core or white core, an integral time controlled method was used to obtain traditional spectrum. This procedure was applied in real-time process when red ginseng was moving to be graded in the line. Among the 450 samples including 223 internal normal ginsengs and 227 internal white core ginsengs, 315 ginsengs (70%) were used to develop a calibration model and 135 ginsengs were spent to validate the model. The result of quality evaluation by the model was very good showing SEP and bias were 0.3573 and 0.0310, respectively, and the accuracy was 95.6%.

  • In this study, the acoustic response technique was applied to evaluate the maturity of melon nondestructively. The acoustic response signals through melon were obtained by microphone and signal conditioner with the lapse of days after fruit set. The acoustic parameters such as resonant frequencies and the spectrum energy ratio were analyzed. To investigate the relation between acoustic parameters and firmness of melon, the compression test was performed. Three resonant frequencies representing f1, f2 and f3 were 150 to 250 Hz, 300 to 400 Hz, and 450 to 550 Hz, respectively. The resonant frequencies were shifted to the lower frequencies and the magnitude of spectrum decreased as the maturity of melon increased. Some significant correlations were found between melon firmness and the spectrum energy ratio in some frequency ranges. It is possible to estimate the maturity of melon by acoustic response technique.

  • In Korea, rural community has been becomming unstable by declining of agriculture. In order to solve this problem, there were some trials to activate rural communities by maintaining rural amenities. But, it is difficult to use rural amenities as a development factor to promote rural communities because there are few researches about quantifying rural amenities. In this study, a method fer quantifying rural amenities is suggested using database normalization technique. Previous thirty seven surveying items of rural amenity resources are formally reduced to five common surveying items, seven resources, and eleven surveying tables. Finally, big picture of rural amenity resource map with surveying data for rural development is suggested.
