  • 석유회수증진법은 저류층 내의 잔존 석유의 회수율을 높이는 기술로 그 종류가 다양하다. 이 중 화학적 공법에 사용되는 폴리머, 계면활성제는 온도, 염도 등에 영향을 받으므로 적용할 수 있는 저류층이나 생산조건에 제약이 있다. 이 연구에서는 최근 연구 자료를 기반으로 화학적 공법의 문제해결과 효율 향상을 위한 기술 개발에 대해 분석하였다. 고온 및 고염 조건에서 분해가 쉽게 발생하는 기존의 폴리머를 개선하기 위해 새로운 폴리머 및 주입법 기술이 개발되었고 석유회수증진이 비전통저류층으로 활용 범위를 확대함에 따라 셰일과 탄산염암 저류층에 적용 가능한 계면활성제 개발이 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 이러한 화학물질은 비용이 높아 아직까지 현장에서는 널리 활용되어지지 않고 있으며 추가적인 연구를 통해 비용을 절감할 수 있다면 석유회수증진을 위해 효과적으로 적용될 것이다.

  • Insects have long been consumed by humans as a supplemental protein source, and interest in entomophagy has rapidly increased in recent years as a potential sustainable resource in the face of environmental challenges and global food shortages. However, food neophobia inhibits the widespread consumption of edible insects, despite their high nutritional and functional value. The own characteristics of edible insect protein such as foaming properties, emulsifying properties, gelling properties and essential amino acid ratio can be improved by drying, defatting, and extraction. Although nutritional value of some protein-enriched bread, pasta, and meat products, especially essential amino acid components was increased, replacement of conventional food with edible insects as a novel food source has been hindered owing to the poor cross-linking properties of edible insect protein. This deterioration in physicochemical properties may further limit the applicability of edible insects as food. Therefore, strategies must be developed to improve the quality of edible insect enriched food with physical, chemical, and biological methods. It was presented that an overview of the recent advancements in these approaches and highlight the challenges and prospects for this field. Applying these strategies to develop insect food in a more familiar form can help to make insect-enriched foods more appealing to consumers, facilitating their widespread consumption as a sustainable and nutritious protein source.

  • Rice Quality is considered to the five catagories ; the nutritional value: the characteristics of cooking. eating and processing: grain size, shape and appearance : milling yields: and storage characteristics. Because most rice is processed and consumed in whole-kernel form. the cooking and eating quality is of important and the physical properties of the intact kernel such as size, shape and general appearance are of particular significance in determining marketing quality. Eating Quality which can be directly evaluated by consumer's panel test is so complicate and variable, and thus the objective and simplified method of evaluation is required of using appropriate instruments. Even though many researches have been done to evaluate the eating quality in various aspects such as the texture of cooked rice kernels, amylogram analysis of rice powder, amylose content. gelatinization temperature. moisture absorption of rice kernel, and cooking characteristics, none of them is satisfied for the evaluation of eating quality. The improving eating quality should be also considered to many cultural factors. such as varieties, climatic and soil conditions, cultural method, handling after harvest. milling and storage conditions. In Korea, many researches in grain size. shape and appearance, and eating quality have been done with the varietal improvement mainly by rice breeders, but no effective method of evaluation was established. A few research have been done in the relationship between rice quality and cultural factors. In the future, research in rice quality should emphasize to establish the standard evaluation method in the physicochemical properties of rice kernels for application of varietal selection. and to develop cultural practices for the preserving quality characteristics of the varieties.

  • Omics-driven synthetic biology is a multidisciplinary research field that creates new artificial life by employing genetic components, biological devices, and engineering technique based on genetic knowledge and technological expertise. It is also utilized to make valuable biomaterials with limited production via current organisms faster, more efficient, and in huge quantities. As the bioeconomic age begins, and the global synthetic biology market becomes more competitive, investment in research and development (R&D) and associated sectors has grown considerably. By overcoming the constraints of present biotechnologies through the merging of big data and artificial intelligence technologies, huge ripple effects are envisaged in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and energy industries. In agriculture, synthetic biology is being used to solve current agricultural problems and develop sustainable agricultural systems by increasing crop productivity, implementing low-carbon agriculture, and developing plant-based, high-value-added bio-materials such as vaccines for diagnosing and preventing livestock diseases. As international regulatory debates on synthetic biology are now underway, discussions should also take place in our country for the growth of bioindustries and the dissemination of research findings. Furthermore, the system must be improved to facilitate practical application and to enhance the risk evaluation technology and management system.

  • The bearing capacities resisted by the two-bay beams of multi-story planar frames with unequal spans under column removal scenarios differ considerably owing to the asymmetric stress on the left and right beams connected to the failed column and cause the potential for beams with larger span-to-depth ratios to be unable to exert effectively, which is disadvantageous for resisting the vertical load in unequal-span frame structures. To address this problem, the structural measure of adding braces to the weak bays of multi-story unequal-span frames was proposed, with the objective of achieving a coordinated stress state in two-bay beams with unequal spans, thereby improving the collapse resistance of unequal-span frame structures. Before conducting the numerical simulation, the modeling methods were verified by previous experimental results of two multi-story planar frames with and without steel braces. Thereafter, the effects of the tensile and compressive braces on the collapse behavior of the frame structures were elucidated. Then, based on the mechanical action laws of the braces throughout the collapse process, a detailed design method for improving the collapse resistance of unequal-span frame structures was proposed. Finally, the proposed design method was verified by using sufficient example models, and the results demonstrated that the design method has good application prospects and high practical value.

  • Antrodia cinnamomea, an edible and medicinal fungus with significant economic value and application prospects, is rich in terpenoids, benzenoids, lignans, polysaccharides, and benzoquinone, succinic and maleic derivatives. In this study, the transcriptome of A. cinnamomea cultured on the wood substrates of Cinnamomum glanduliferum (YZM), C. camphora (XZM), and C. kanehirae (NZM) was sequenced using the high-throughput sequencing technology Illumina HiSeq 2000, and the data were assembled by de novo strategy to obtain 78,729 Unigenes with an N50 of 4,463 bp. Compared with public databases, about 11,435, 6,947, and 5,994 Unigenes were annotated to the Non-Redundant (NR), Gene Ontology (GO), and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genome (KEGG), respectively. The comprehensive analysis of the mycelium terpene biosynthesis-related genes in A. cinnamomea revealed that the expression of acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase (AACT), acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD), 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA), mevalonate pyrophosphate decarboxylase (MVD), and isopentenyl diphosphate isomerase (IDI) was significantly higher on NZM compared to the other two wood substrates. Similarly, the expression of geranylgeranyltransferase (GGT) was significantly higher on YZM compared to NZM and XZM, and the expression of farnesyl transferase (FTase) was significantly higher on XZM. Furthermore, the expressions of 2,3-oxidized squalene cyclase (OCS), squalene synthase (SQS), and squalene epoxidase (SE) were significantly higher on NZM. Overall, this study provides a potential approach to explore the molecular regulation mechanism of terpenoid biosynthesis in A. cinnamomea.
