Purpose: Tea is the most frequently consumed drink worldwide, next to water. About 75% of the total world tea production includes black tea, and withering is one of the major processing steps critical for the quality of black tea. There are two types of tea withering methods: physical and chemical withering. Withering can be achieved by using tat, tunnel, drum, and trough withering systems. Of these, the trough withering system is the most commonly used. This study focuses on the different types of withering, their effect on the various quality attributes of tea, and other aspects of withering methods that affect superior quality tea. Results: During physical withering, tea shoots loose moisture content that drops from approximately 70-80% to 60-70% (wet basis). This leads to increased sap concentration in tea leaf cells, and turgid leaves become flaccid. It also prevents tea shoots from damage during maceration or rolling. During chemical withering, complex chemical compounds break down into simpler ones volatile flavor compounds, amino acids, and simple sugars are formed. Withering increases enzymatic activities as well as the concentration of caffeine. Research indicates that about 15% of chlorophyll degradation occurs during withering. It is also reported that during withering lipids break down into simpler compounds and catechin levels decrease. Improper withering can cause adverse effects on subsequent manufacturing operations, such as maceration, rolling, fermentation, drying, and tea storage. Conclusion: Freshly harvested leaves are conditioned physically and chemically for subsequent processing. There is no specified withering duration, but 14-18 h is generally considered the optimum period. Proper and even withering of tea shoots greatly depends on the standards of plucking, handling, transportation, environmental conditions, time, and temperature. Thus, to ensure consumption of high quality tea, the withering step must be monitored carefully.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the profitability of four selective mechanization systems in rice cultivation. Methods: Field experiments were conducted in the farmers' field during the wet season (June to November) of 2015 in Bangladesh. Mechanization systems were applied to evaluate four different selective levels (treatment) in eleven consequent operations. Seedlings were raised in a traditional seedbed and trays for manual and mechanical transplanting, respectively. Land preparation, irrigation, fertilizer, pesticide, carrying, and threshing and cleaning operations were performed using the same method in all the experimental plots. The mechanical options in the transplanting, weeding, and harvesting operations were changed. The mechanization systems were $S_1$ = hand transplanting + hand weeding + harvesting by sickle, $S_2$ = mechanical transplanting + Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI) weeder + reaper, $S_3$ = mechanical transplanting + BRRI power weeder + reaper, and $S_4$ = mechanical transplanting + herbicide + reaper. This experiment was performed in a randomized complete block design with four replications. Power tiller, rice transplanter, BRRI weeder, BRRI power weeder, self-propelled reaper, BRRI open drum thresher, and BRRI winnower were used in the respective operations. Accordingly, the techno-economic performances of the different technologies were calculated and compared with those of the traditional system. Results: The mechanically transplanted plot produced 6-10% more yield than the hand transplanted plot because of the use of tender-aged seedlings. Mechanical transplanting reduced 61% labor and 18% cost compared to manual transplanting. The BRRI weeder, BRRI power weeder, and herbicide application reduced 74, 91, and 98% labor, respectively. The latter also saved 72, 63, and 82% cost, respectively, compared to hand weeding. Herbicide application reduced the substantial amount of labor and cost in the weeding operation. Mechanical harvesting also saved 96% labor and 72% cost compared to the traditional method of harvesting using sickle. Selective mechanization saved 15-17% input cost compared to the traditional method of rice cultivation. Conclusions: Mechanical transplanting with the safe use of herbicide and harvesting by reaper is the most cost- and labor-saving operation. The method might be the recommended set of selective mechanization for enhancing productivity.

Korea Radioactive Waste Agency (KORAD) began to operate the low and intermediate level radioactive waste disposal facility in Gyeongju and to transport the radioactive waste containing radioactive isotopes from Daejeon to the disposal facility for the first time at 2015. For this radioactive waste transportation, in this study, radiological impact assessment is carried out for workers and public. The dose rate to workers and public during the transportation is estimated with consideration of the transportation scenarios and is compared with the Korean regulatory limit. The sensitivity analysis is carried out by considering both the variation of release ratios of the radioactive isotopes from the waste and the variation of the distances between the radioactive waste drum and worker during loading and unloading of radioactive waste. As for all the transportation scenarios, radiological impacts for workers and public have met the regulatory limits.

본 연구에서는 저가격, 대면적화를 위한 롤투롤 스퍼터를 설계&개발하고, 성막직전 PET 기판의 열처리 유무를 통한 ITO 박막을 성막 시킨 저항막 방식의 터치 패널용 투명 전극에 대하여 전기적, 광학적, 구조적, 표면적 특성을 분석하였다. 롤투롤 스퍼터는 degassing챔버와 스퍼터 챔버가 한 시스템에 구성되었고, Degassing 챔버는 좌우측의 Rewinder/Unwinder 롤러에 의해 감고 풀어지는 PET기판의 수분 및 가스를 중앙부에 위치한 히터를 통해 제거하며, 수분 제거 후 스퍼터 챔버로 옮겨진 1250 mm폭의 PET기판을 Unwinder/Rewinder 롤러에 장착하며, Unwinder 롤러로부터 풀려진 PET 기판은 guide 롤러를 거쳐 cooling drum과의 물리적 접촉에 의해 PET 기판의 냉각이 일어나게 된다. ITO 캐소드 전에 장착된 할로겐 히터 상부로 기판이 지나가면서 열처리가 진행되고 열처리 후 두 개의 ITO 캐소드 상부를 지나면서 연속적으로 ITO 박막이 PET 기판에 성막 되게 된다. ITO 박막의 주요 성막 변수인 DC Power, Ar/$O_2$ 가스 유량비, 기판의 속도는 최적으로 고정하고, 성막 직전 기판의 열처리에 유무에 따른 ITO박막의 필름을 각각 고온 챔버에서 $140^{\circ}C{\times}90min$ 동안 열처리를 통한 내열성 테스트를 진행하여 ITO 필름의 특성 향상을 비교 분석하였다. 분석을 위해 전기적 특성은 four-point probe로 측정했고, 투과도는 Nippon Denshoku사(社)의 COH-300A를 이용해 가시광(550nm)에서 분석했고, FE-SEM으로 ITO박막 의 표면 상태를 분석하였다. 또한 Bending Tester(Z-100)를 이용하여 기계적 안정성을 분석하였다. 성막직전 PET 기판의 열처리를 하지 않은 ITO박막은 고온의 챔버 에서 $140^{\circ}C{\times}90min$ 동안 내열성 테스트 후 면저항이 511($\omega/\Box$)에서 630($\omega/\Box$)으로 높아졌으나, 성막직전 열처리를 통한 ITO 박막인 경우에는 465($\omega/\Box$)에서 448($\omega/\Box$)로 안정화 되었고, 투과율은 성막직전 열처리를 통해 1%향상되어 89%를 보였고, 유연성 또한 보다 우수한 특성을 보였다. 표면 조도는 평균 0.416 nm의 낮은 값을 보였다. 이는 PET 기판의 degassing 공정 중 충분히 제거되지 않은 가스나 불순물을 성막직전 열처리 공정으로 충분히 제거하여 깨끗한 PET 기판 상에 ITO 박막을 성막시키고, 열처리시 기판에 주어진 열에너지에 의해 보다 밀도가 높은 ITO 박막이 성장했기 때문으로 사료 된다.

The electrical, optical, structural and surface properties of an indium tin oxide (ITO) film grown on a flexible PET substrate using a specially designed roll-to-roll (R2R) sputtering system as a function of the DC power, $Ar/O_2$ flow ratio, and rolling speed is reported. It was observed that both the electrical and optical properties of the ITO film on the PET substrate were critically dependent on the $Ar/O_2$ flow ratio. In addition, x-ray diffraction examination results showed that the structure of the ITO film on the PET substrate was an amorphous structure regardless of the DC power and the $Ar/O_2$ flow ratio due to a low substrate temperature, which was maintained constant by a main cooling drum. Under optimized conditions, ITO film with resistivity of $6.44{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}-cm$ and transparency of 86% were obtained, even when prepared at room temperature. Furthermore, bending test results exhibited that R2R-grown ITO film had good flexibility which would be applicable to flexible displays and solar cells.
