As aging is notably developed, the elderly find it challenging to get around in housing chosen in their midlife, and seek for an alternative residential setting enabling them to continue the independent living. This research focuses on the residential mobility of the elderly who have recently moved to senior housing, and also is to investigate their residential satisfaction at previous residence. As a cross-sectional study, the research adopts the self-administered questionnaire survey. The questionnaires are mailed out, and one out of the two responses is retrieved. To investigate the residential mobility of the elderly, the research model is constructed based upon Morris and Winter's Housing Adjustment Theory. The result shows that the residential mobility of elderly from previous residence is a need-based choice, want-driven behavior and demand-oriented decision to maintain continued independence and utilize resources available during the aging process. Also, it is found that the vast majority of both co-op and rental households are satisfied with their previous residential environment. The previous residential satisfaction of co-op elderly is significantly influenced by household and housing characteristics, housing norm status, and environmental needs for independent living while only housing norm status is a significant predictor to explain the previous residential satisfaction of rental elderly.

By the environment-friendly(hereafter EF) agricultural policy and toward the safety food of consumers, there is much glowing supply and demand fur EF agricultural products, in Korea. But, in general, EF agricultural products are blown as unique, unreasonable and high price system. This study aims to make clare the main bodies and competition structure in EF agricultural products and the different from the agricultural products. The mail results of this study are summarized as follows. Firstly, farmers and consumers directly participate in the distribution, and the major distributors participate in the market of EF agricultural products after the certification system is got ready. Because EF agricultural products is not dealt and the price system is not built up in agricultural wholesale market. Secondly, the distribution route of EF agricultural products is organized the unified organization by the main bodies such as farmers, consumers co-op, and special distributors. In any step of distribution, the main body of distribution surely deals with the contracted farmers, consumers co-op, and special distributors. Accordingly, it is said that EF agricultural products has the competition structure between the distribution route organized the unified organization rather than between main bodies in the each steps of distribution.

We investigated the effects of a pulsed electric field (PEF) treatment on microbial inactivation and the physical properties of low-fat milk. Milk inoculated with Escherichia coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, or Lactobacillus brevis was supplied to a pilot-scale PEF treatment system at a flow rate of 30 L/h. Pulses with an electric field strength of 10 kV/cm and a pulse width of 30 µs were applied to the milk with total pulse energies of 50-250 kJ/L achieved by varying the pulse frequency. The inactivation curves of the test microorganisms were biphasic with an initial lag phase (or shoulder) followed by a phase of rapid inactivation. PEF treatments with a total pulse energy of 200 kJ/L resulted in a 4.5-log reduction in E. coli, a 4.4-log reduction in L. brevis, and a 6.0-log reduction in S. cerevisiae. Total pulse energies of 200 and 250 kJ/L resulted in greater than 5-log reductions in microbial counts in stored PEF-treated milk, and the growth of surviving microorganisms was slow during storage for 15 d at 4℃. PEF treatment did not change milk physical properties such as pH, color, or particle-size distribution (p<0.05). These results indicate that a relatively low electric-field strength of 10 kV/cm can be used to pasteurize low-fat milk.

Calibration experiments were executed to document pertinent calibration methods for open-path infrared gas analyzer (OP-2) in field operations and to quantify their performance characteristics in continuous long-term flux measurements. Based on our results, we concluded: (1) flow rate of 2.0 L min$^{-1}$ can be used for calibration instead of the recommended 0.5 L min$^{-1}$ . Such faster flow rate brings the sampled air in the calibration hood at equilibrium within 5 min for $CO_2$ and 10 min for $H_2O$; (2) after reaching equilibrium, two-minute average sampling for related variables per each concentration may be sufficient; (3) use of four concentration is needed to derive the nonlinear calibration equation for water vapor with 1% uncertainty of flux measurement; and (4) the resultant calibration interval for OP-2 for both $CO_2$ and $H_2O$ is approximately one month.

To mass-product useful biopolymer films, chitosan/gelatin blend films were prepared by solution casting method. Effect of mixing ratio, tensile strength(TS), elongation(${\Delta}E$) at break, total color difference(E), water vapor permeability(WVP) and oxygen permeability(OP) on chitosan/gelatin blend films properties were investigated. TS, ${\Delta}E$, E, WVP and OP values of chitosan/gelatin blend films were 43.43-38.30 MPa, 9.02-15.09%, 1.28-3.81, $0.8420-0.9673ng{\cdot}m/m^2{\cdot}s{\cdot}Pa$ and $1.5472{\times}10^{-7}-1.5424{\times}10^{-7}mL{\cdot}{\mu}m/m^2{\cdot}s{\cdot}Pa$, respectively. TS of the blend films decreased, while E and E of the blend films increased with increasing chitosan content. WVP and OP of the blend films did not show any significant relationship with mixing ratio and thickness of the blend films. OP of the blend films were lower than those of low density polyethylene and oriented polypropylene.

It is generally believed that amino acids occurring naturally in mammals are of the L-configuration. D-amino acid(DM) are common in nature as constituents of bacterial cell walls and several antibiotics. Recent reports have demonstrated the presence of small amounts of free DM in milk. The presence of free DM may affect the food quality by decreasing the nutritional value. Our objective was to examine whether the free DM carne from psychrotrophic bacteria. Free DM was produced by treating raw milk with Pseudomonas spp. The samples were extracted with sulphosalicylic acid and derivatized with AccQ-$Tag^{TM}$ reagent when the analysis was carried out by reverse-phase HPLC. We tested correlations of the content of free DM with bacterial growth. Significant amounts of free D-a1anine and D-proline have been found in the raw milk inoculated with Pseudomonas spp. The increase of D-alanine and D-proline appeared to be mainly related to the presence of Pseudomonas fluorescens. These results suggest that free DM may be considered as an indicator of psychrotrophic bacterial milk contamination.

This study was carried out to compare lactic acid bacteria count of liquid type yogurts with various experimental conditions during shelf-life period. The conditions were media(BCP and Elliker agar), incubation conditions(aerobic and anaerobic), dilution waters(saline and phosphate buffer) and dilution methods(10 and 100 times). All of the samples were incubated at $37^{\circ}C$ for 72 hrs. In the case of counting L. acidophilus as a yogurt starter culture, there were differences on dilution waters and incubation conditions, but were no difference on media and dilution methods. In the case of counting L jugurti and mixed strain with L. acidophilus and L. casei, there were differences on media, incubation conditions and dilution waters, but was no difference on dilution methods. For L. casei in the yogurt, media and dilution methods were shown slightly different viable cell count but incubation conditions were not shown difference. In the case of counting L. bulgaricus, there were differences on media, incubation conditions and dilution methods, but was no difference on dilution waters. Therefore, the measurment of lactic acid bacteria count may be effective if preferred experimental conditions are selected for different types of strain.

This study was carried out to investigate the microencapsulatuion of ${\omega}-3$ fatty acid isolated from fish oil and to obtain fundamental information on the utilization of the ${\omega}-3$ fatty acid in the dairy foods field. To obtain the desirable microencapsulation efficiency, 1.5% agar and 0.5% gelatin were used as coating materials, and 0.5% SFAN 60 (HLB 4.5 value) was used to maintain the emulsion stability. The optimal mixing ratio of coating material to core material was 8:2 (w/w). The thermostability of microencapsulated product was not maintained above $60^{\circ}C$. Microencapsulation efficiency was kept at about 90% at $4^{\circ}C$ and $10^{\circ}C$ for 7 days storage at various temperatures. At $20^{\circ}C$ and $30^{\circ}C$, however, about 80% microencapsulatuion efficiency was obtained for 3 days storage. About 80.57% microcapsule was destroyed by 1%> pepsin solution at $37^{\circ}C$ for 10 min.

We evaluated the structural, electrical and optical properties of tungsten (W)-doped $Ge_8Sb_2Te_{11}$ thin films. In a previous work, GeSbTe alloys were doped with different materials in an attempt to improve thermal stability. 200 mm thick $Ge_8Sb_2Te_{11}$ and W-doped $Ge_8Sb_2Te_{11}$ films were deposited on p-type Si (100) and glass substrates using a magnetron co-sputtering system at room temperature. The fabricated films were annealed in a furnace in the $0{\sim}400^{\circ}C$ temperature range. The structural properties were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (X'pert PRO, Phillips). The results showed increased crystallization temperature ($T_c$) leading to thermal stability in the amorphous state. The optical properties were analyzed using an UV-Vis-IR spectrophotometer (Shimadzu, U-3501, range : 300~3,000 nm). The results showed an increase in the crystalline material optical energy band gap ($E_{op}$) and an increase in the $E_{op}$ difference (${\Delta}E_{op}$). This is a good effect to reduce memory device noise. The electrical properties were analyzed using a 4-point probe (CNT-series). This showed increased sheet resistance ($R_s$), which reduces programming current in the memory device.
