Objective of this research was to investigate the influence of liming fertilizers on changes in soil chemical properties and growth of pansy 'Melody Yellow' in plug production. To achieve this, dolomite (DO) with 0, 1.0, 3.5, 8.0 or $13.0g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ and calcium carbonate (CC) with 0, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, or $4.0g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ in application rate were incorporated into peatmoss + vermiculite (1:1, v/v) during the formulation. The treatments of $3.5g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ of DO and 2.5 or $3.0g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ of CC had acceptable range of soil solution pH such as 5.6-6.2. Faster rising of pH was observed in root media containing CC rather than those of DO, indicating higher solubility of CC. The soil Ca concentrations in all treatments of CC were 2 times as high as those of DO. The treatments of 3.5 or $8.0g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ of DO had the highest soil Mg concentrations, but all treatments of CC had lower soil Mg concentrations than control indicating that additional applications of Mg fertilizers are required. The elevated application rate of DO or CC resulted in the increase of fresh and dry weight; however, plant heights were not influenced by application of liming fertilizers. The results of tissue analysis showed that application of DO or CC influenced the Ca and Mg contents, but did not influence the contents of other nutrients such as N, P, Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu.

The purpose of this study was to investigate and evaluate the safety of the wet tissues. In this study, we analyzed sterilizing preservatives and the presence of harmful substances in 62 wet tissue samples in the market. The contents of preservatives, formaldehyde and methanol were analyzed by HPLC and headspace-GC, respectively. Cetylpyridinium chloride was detected as 7-13 ppm in 5 samples. Sodium benzoate was detected in 46 samples ranging from 200 ppm to 3500 ppm, and 9 ppm of methylparahydroxy benzoate was detected in 1 sample. Propylparahydroxy benzoate was not detected in any samples. 5 ppm of methylchloroisothiazolinone and 140 ppm of methylisothiazolinone were detected in 1 sample. Formaldehyde was detected as $0.0069-1.796{\mu}g/g$ in 59 samples. Methanol was detected ranging from 2 ppm to 51 ppm in 22 samples, and 4 samples showed more than 20 ppm of the legal limit. The pH of the wet tissues was 4.0 to 8.2. Continuous investigation and monitoring are necessary to ensure safe distribution of products.

The antioxidative activity measured by electron donating ability was investigated for the breeding of the highest antioxidative waxy corn (Zea mays L.) and the research for the most effective antioxidant in waxy corn. The electron donating ability was $15.5{\sim}65.0%$. The contents of phenolic compounds and tocopherols and the absorbance at 450 nm were $102.3{\sim}323.5\;{\mu}g/mL$, $15.6{\sim}144.2\;{\mu}g/mL$ and $0.047{\sim}0.206$, respectively. The mean values of electron donating ability and contents of phenolic compounds and tocopherols of four black waxy corn were comparatively high, that is, 48.7%, $267.0\;{\mu}g/mL$ and $87.0\;{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. The electron donating ability was significantly correlated with the level of phenolic compounds and tocopherols but not with the content of carotenoids.

This study is conducted to investigate the contents of ${\beta}$-carotene and retinol in bap (e.g. gimbap, bokkeumbap, sushi, deopbap, bibimbap), guk (e.g. sundaeguk, seonjiguk), tang (e.g. galbitang, chueotang), and jjigae (e.g. dongtaejjigae, kimchi jjigae with port) by using saponification extraction and HPLC analysis. The samples were collected from six regions in Korea (Gangwon-do, Gyeonggi-do, Gyeongsang-do, Seoul, Jeonla-do, Chuncheong-do). In bap, the ${\beta}$-carotene contents of kimchi gimbap (234.459~719.180 ${\mu}g/100g$), bibimbap (200.091~489.867 ${\mu}g/100g$) and pork deopbap (228.876~778.591 ${\mu}g/100g$) were higher than that of sushi (0.000~41.234 ${\mu}g/100g$), and jajangbap (4.833~28.141 ${\mu}g/100g$). The retinol contents of bap was 0.000~60.418 ${\mu}g/100g$, among which, omelet rice (13.974~60.418 ${\mu}g/100g$) showed the highest amount of retinol. Among the analyzed guk (tang) and jjigae, higher contents of ${\beta}$-carotene were observed in chueoutang (346.261~843.947 ${\mu}g/100g$), kimchi jjigae with pork (178.558~352.604 ${\mu}g/100g$) and altang (169.443~175.287 ${\mu}g/100g$). The retinol of guk (tang) and jjigae were not detected to doganitang, gomtang, naejangtang, chueotang and soy sprout haejangguk.

In this study, the characteristics and taste components of six different oyster mushroom cultivars (Gonji-7ho, Santari, Baekseon, Chunchu, Suhan, and Heuktari) were analyzed and compared. The Heuktari mushroom pileus had the lowest brightness index (32.8) and remained dark (brightness index: 30.5) even after blanching. The moisture content of the mushrooms was approximately 90%. The salinity and sugar contents were highest in Heuktari (5.7% and 7.1%, respectively). Gonji -7ho had the highest contraction rates, with a length contraction rate of 16.4% and thickness contraction rate of 23.9%. The total amino acid content was highest in Heuktari (537.8 mg/100 g), but the glutamine content contributing to umami taste was highest in Santari (59.4 mg/100 g) and the aspartic acid content was highest in Baekseon (33.1 mg/100 g). Among the 5?-nucleotide components, guanosine monophosphate, which enhances umami taste, was highest in Baekseon (0.7 mg/g). Baekseon was also calculated to have the highest umami taste concentration based on amino acid and nucleic acid contents (12.7 g/100 g). The results of this study serve as valuable basic data on the physicochemical characteristics of oyster mushroom cultivars grown in Korea.

Objectives: The study examined indoor air quality during daytime and commute times in underground parking lots in five apartments located in northern Gyeonggi province. Methods: This study examined the temporal characteristics of $PM_{10}$, $CO_2$, CO, HCHO and VOCs in the indoor air quality of the underground parking lots in five apartments. Results: $PM_{10}$ concentration in daytime were ranged from 37.4 to $69.9{\mu}g/m^3$ which complied with the indoor air quality maintenance standard ($200{\mu}g/m^3$) and Gyeonggi province ordinance standard ($180{\mu}g/m^3$). However $PM_{10}$ concentrations in commuting time were in range of $447.3{\sim}944.0{\mu}g/m^3$ that exceeded for both criteria. The $CO_2$, CO and HCHO concentrations complied with the standard. The VOCs indicated high tendency in the order of toluene, xylene, ethylbenzene and benzene. This tendency was more apparent in commuting time than daytime. Conclusion: All indoor parking lots of five apartments were equipped with ventilators. However the most apartment residents did not operate blowers to save electricity and the lack of interest for indoor air quality. In order to improve the indoor air quality of underground parking lots in apartment, operating ventilation system during commuting time is recommended.

This paper introduces a touch recognition method for touch screen systems based on the SIFT(Scale Invariant Feature Transform) algorithm for stable touch recognition under strong noises. This method provides strong robustness against the noises and makes it possible to effectively extract the various size of touches due to the SIFT algorithm. In order to verify our algorithm we simulate it on the Matlab with the channel data obtained from a real touch screen. It was found from the simulations that our method could stably recognize the touches without regard to the size and direction of the touches. But, our algorithm implemented on a real touch screen system does not support the realtime feature because the DoG(Difference of Gaussian) of the SIFT algorithm needs too many computations. We solved the problem using the DoM(Difference of Mean) which is a fast approximation method of DoG.

Glucose fed-batch culture was studied to improve cellulose productivity by Acetobacter xylinum BRC5. When initial glucose concentrations in batch cultures were less than 20 g/L, yield coefficients of cellulose (Yp/s) remained a constant value of 0.21 g cellulose/g glucose. But a low yield coefficient, Yp/s=0.13 was obtained from an initial glucose concentration of 40 g/L. Since initial high glucose concentrations in batch culture resulted in low yields of cellulose, constant fed-batch cultures were carried out. The optimal feed rate for fed-batch culture was 2.22 g glucose/L.h. In constant fed-batch culture without DO control, 10 g/L of cellulose was obtained from 40 g/L of glucose with this feed rate, which was approximately two fold higher than that of the batch culture with the same initial glucose concentration. In DO stat plus fed-batch culture, the highest cellulose productivity could be obtained when dissolved oxygen level was controlled at 10% of air saturation, and cellulose productivity increased about 1.5 times compared with that of the culture without DO control.

In order to the development of a new organic compost to exclusive use in a ginseng, we conducted the study of the preparation of organic fertilizer and the application effect of organic fertilizer in cultivation of ginseng. The new organic compost was composed of dryed broad leaves of acorn 40%, puffed husks of rice 40% and organic material mixture 20%. The chemical properties of the organic compost shown that the values of the total nitrogen, available phosphate, pottasium, calcium, magnesium, organic matter and C/N ratio were $17g\;kg^{-1}$, $8g\;kg^{-1}$, $11g\;kg^{-1}$, $14g\;kg^{-1}$, $4g\;kg^{-1}$, $794g\;kg^{-1}$, and 26.7, respectivly. The application effect of organic compost in the cultivation of ginseng shown that survival ratio of above ground plant of ginseng was shown the high value than control, and the ratio of root rot and red colored root were decreased. The optimal amount of organic fertilizer for ginseng seedling was $24M/T\;ha^{-1}$. The chemical properties of the ferilized soil were analyzed.
