  • Fashion cultural products represents cultural trend, and they are produced a lot in Korea to express the Korean culture and style. They are also tools that embody images of Korea. This study mainly focuses on the Korean traditional-patterned ornaments as fashion cultural products. Therefore, this study aims at developing a framework of consumers' attitudes and consumption behaviors about Korean traditional-patterned ornaments, examining how the characteristics are changed according to shopping orientation. For this purpose, a quantitative survey was carried out using 455 questionnaires from women in their 20s and over. The data were analyzed using frequency analysis, factor analysis, t-test, ANOVA, cluster analysis, and $x^2$-test. Findings of this study were as follows. First, half of the respondents were found to possess Korean traditional-patterned ornaments. However, consumers had positive attitudes and tend to purchase them for their own use rather than gifts, demonstrating that the potential for the market is large enough. Second, in accordance with their shopping orientation, consumers were sub-divided into four groups: trend/brand oriented, practicality/pleasure oriented, convenience oriented, and passive shoppers. The trend/brand oriented group showed highest levels of preference regarding purchase intentions of Korean traditional-patterned ornaments. This group also showed the strongest purchasing power on fashion items among the four groups. Third, this study presented animal, plant, geometric and abstract patterns to the respondents to examine their attitudes. It was found that consumers prefered plant-patterned ornaments rather than the others, demonstrating that they have stronger preference and purchase intention toward ornaments with more natural images.

  • To find the applicability of resemblance of the fatty acid methy1 ester (FAME) profile analysis to the primary examination for the tracing P. aeruginosa contamination in the environment and water plants, we designed this study. Of6l P. aeruginosa isolates including 3 reference strains, 4 fecal or soil isolates and 54 water isolates, the resemblance coefficiencies of the FAMEs were calculated as euclidian distance (ED) and expressed as dendrogram. The 61 strains were clustered as the same group in the ED 8.4, and divided into 4 subgroups in the ED 6.9. The water isolates from Han River were classified into distinctively different subgroups from reference strains. These results provide the possibility of the dendrogram from FAME profile as a useful tools for tracing contamination as well as for identifying the species, especially in case of P. aeruginosa.

  • Methamphetamine (MA) is currently the most abused illicit drug in Korea. MA is produced by chemical synthesis, and the final target drug that is produced contains small amounts of the precursor chemicals, intermediates, and by-products. To identify and quantify these trace compounds in MA seizures, a practical and feasible approach for conducting chromatographic fingerprinting with a suite of traditional chemometric methods and recently introduced machine learning approaches was examined. This was achieved using gas chromatography (GC) coupled with a flame ionization detector (FID) and mass spectrometry (MS). Following appropriate examination of all the peaks in 71 samples, 166 impurities were selected as the characteristic components. Unsupervised (principal component analysis (PCA), hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), and K-means clustering) and supervised (partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA), support vector machines (SVM), and deep neural network (DNN) with Keras) chemometric techniques were employed for classifying the 71 MA seizures. The results of the PCA, HCA, K-means clustering, PLS-DA, OPLS-DA, SVM, and DNN methods for quality evaluation were in good agreement. However, the tested MA seizures possessed distinct features, such as chirality, cutting agents, and boiling points. The study indicated that the established qualitative and semi-quantitative methods will be practical and useful analytical tools for characterizing trace compounds in illicit MA seizures. Moreover, they will provide a statistical basis for identifying the synthesis route, sources of supply, trafficking routes, and connections between seizures, which will support drug law enforcement agencies in their effort to eliminate organized MA crime.

  • Echinochloa species maintained by selling for more than 10 years were classified using random amplified polymorphic DNAs(RAPDs) analysis. Seventy-four decamer of randomly sequence markers were used to classify intraspecific variation irt Echinochloa species. The number of amplification products increased with increasing GC content of the primer in the range between 60% and 70% GC. Single-base substitutions of a primer altered amplification, providing new polymorphisms. The size of amplified DNA was mostly between 0.40kbp and 1.4kbp with the most common bands at 1.1kbp. Echinochloa species were detected with 6 primers which generated 26 polymorphic amplified DNAs. By hierarchical cluster analysis, Echinochloa species collected in Korea were divided into three groups. These results revealed that RAPD markers are useful tools for the determination of genetic variations in Echinochloa species.

  • Genetic diversity among 28 Cymbidium varieties was evaluated by using a sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) marker system. The SRAP marker which was based on the open reading frames (ORFs) regions was developed primarily for Brassica species, but has been applied to various crops. A total of 30 SRAP primer combinations were initially screened. Twenty-eight SRAP primer combinations showed high polymorphism among the 28 Cymbidium varieties, which were consisted of breeding varieties and their parents in National Institute of Horticultural & Herbal Science (NIHHS). The amplified DNA fragments were separated by denaturing acrylamide gels and detected silver staining method. One hundred ninety six polymorphic bands (7 per primer) were generated and ranged from 0.3 to 1.0 kb in size. Polymorphic fragments were scored for calculating simple matching coefficient of genetic similarity and cluster analysis with multi-variate statistical package (MVSP) 3.1. The mean genetic similarity coefficient value was 0.588. The results showed that the correlation between $F_1$ varieties and their parents was high. These studied SRAP markers will be useful tools for genotype identification, germplasm conservation, genetic relationships in Cymbidium.

  • Analyzing next-generation genome sequencing data in a conventional way using single server may take several tens of hours depending on the data size. However, in order to cope with emergency situations where the results need to be known within a few hours, it is required to improve the performance of a single genome analysis. In this paper, we propose a parallelized method for pre-processing genome sequence data which can reduce the analysis time by utilizing the big data technology and the highperformance computing cluster which is connected to the high-speed network and shares the parallel file system. For the reliability of analytical data, we have chosen a strategy to parallelize the existing analytical tools and algorithms to the new environment. Parallelized processing, data distribution, and parallel merging techniques have been developed and performance improvements have been confirmed through experiments.
