The purpose of this study is to determine long-term storage conditions for winter kimchi. Kimchi was stored in a kimchi refrigerator for 6 months with or without fermentation. Four different temperature systems used were as follows: 5 days at $10^{\circ}C$ followed by storage at $-2.5^{\circ}C$ (F1), 1 day at $15^{\circ}C$ followed by storage at $-2.5^{\circ}C$ (F2), storage at $-1^{\circ}C$ (S1), or at $-2.5^{\circ}C$ (S2). Time periods required for F1, F2, S1, or S2 kimchi to reach pH 4.4 and acidity 0.6% were 2, 8, 12, and 22 weeks, respectively. Lactobacillus spp. growth on F1 and F2 kimchi was faster and greater than that on S1 and S2 kimchi, revealing a maximum concentration of 8~9 verses 6.8 log CFU/mL, respectively. However, Leuconostoc spp. were fully grown (8~9 log CFU/mL) on all four kimchi samples regardless of temperature, even at $-2.5^{\circ}C$, although the times required to reach maximum growth were different. Growth of Lactobacillus and Leuconostoc spp. both decreased after reaching maximum levels, except for F1 kimchi. Sensory evaluation results for 3 month storage showed that F1 kimchi was the best among kimchi samples in terms of appearance, acidic taste, carbonated taste, crispiness, and moldy smell. For 6 months of storage, F1 and S1 kimchi were the most highly evaluated among the kimchi samples. Sensory evaluation result for S1 kimchi stored at $-1^{\circ}C$ was comparable to that of F1 kimchi due to fully grown Leuconostoc spp. Acidities of F1 and S1 kimchi after 6 months of storage were 0.8 and 0.7%, respectively. Taken together, fermentation of kimchi at $10^{\circ}C$ for 5 days followed by storage at $-2.5^{\circ}C$ for 6 months was optimal for high quality kimchi. Sensory properties of winter kimchi were significantly influenced by the degree of fermentation.

Purpose: The study was conducted to measure stratum corneum hydration (SCH) and pH (SCP) in high-risk newborns in the early postnatal period and to explore the features related to patterns of change in those parameters. Methods: SCH and SCP were measured on the dorsal hand in 99 hospitalized newborns during the first 14 days of life and the results were analyzed using a general linear model. Results: The mean hydration was 42.9% on day 1, which decreased to 34.6% by 2 weeks (F=15.61, p=<.001). An association was observed between SCH and prematurity (F=21.12, p<.001), as well as for their interaction (F=8.11, p<.001). The mean SCP was $6.2{\pm}0.3$ on day 1, and decreased to $5.7{\pm}0.2$ (F=95.75, p<.001), with no association with prematurity. After adjusting for birth weight, SCH was higher in newborns with vaginal delivery (F=9.07, p=.023) and who received phototherapy (F=11.81, p=.011). For SCP, only delivery type had a significant influence (F=6.40, p=.044). Conclusion: This study suggests that SCH is typically in the 30% range during the early postnatal period, and that an acid mantle on the SC surface is very unlikely to form; these findings could be applied to the nursing process for promoting skin integrity in high-risk neonates.

This paper presents the idea of interpolating between multiple sounding bursts to estimate the individual channels of a MIMO scenario. The performance of the proposed technique depends on the $f_dT$ product and the number of transmit and receive antennas. In particular, this technique can be effective if the $f_dT$ product is not too high and the number of antennas is not too large. Furthermore, there is a considerable difference in the performance of the 16 channels in the $4{\times}4$ MIMO case because the sounding bursts spread farther apart with time, meaning that the Doppler in the channel causes a greater error for the channels.

In real-time electricity price environment, the energy management system can provide the significant advantage to the residential, commercial and industrial customers since it can reduce the electricity charge by controlling the load operation effectively in response to time-varying price. However, the earlier studies for load management mainly focus on the residential and commercial customers except for the industrial customers because most of load operations in industrial sector are intimately related with production schedule. So, it is possible that the inappropriate control of loads in industrial sector causes huge economic loss. In this paper, therefore, we propose load control algorithm for factory energy management system(F-EMS) to achieve not only minimizing the electricity charges but also maintaining production efficiency by considering characteristics of load operation and production schedule. Considering characteristics of load operation and production schedule, the proposed load control algorithm can reflect the various characteristics of specific industrial customer and control their loads within the range that the production efficiency is maintained. Simulation results show that the proposed load control algorithm for F-EMS leads to significant reduction in the electricity charges and peak power in industrial sector.

Nickel oxide thin films with 2.3 ${\mu}m$ thickness were prepared in order to overcome limitations of thickness with nm dimension by anodizing. For the electrolyte, ethylene glycol was used as solvent, and $NH_4F$ was added for source of $F^-$ ions. The anodizing experiments were carried out on various voltages such as 40, 60 V and 80 V for 12 hours. The thickness of NiO was changed according to the anodizing time and the voltage. However, destruction of Ni caused by rapid oxidation reaction occurred at 80 V. XRD results show that NiO was successfully created by anodizing.

The adsorption characteristics of four pesticides (phosphamidon, fenitrothion, triadimefon, and diniconazole) on natural clinoptilolite (CLI_N) and three synthetic zeolites were investigated. The synthetic zeolites included faujasite (FAU_F) synthesized from coal fly ash; the mixture of FAU and Na-P1 (FAU + Na-P1)_SF synthesized using Jeju scoria and coal fly ash at the ratio of 1.5 by weight; and waste fluid catalytic cracking catalyst (FCC_W). The distribution coefficient, K_D and the Freundlich constant, K_F decreased in the following sequence: FCC_W > FAU_F > (FAU + Na-P1)_SF > CLI_N among the zeolites and diniconazole>fenitrothion> triadimefon> phosphamidon among the pesticides. The pesticide adsorptivity increased with increasing temperature for FAU_F, (FAU+Na-P1)_SF and FCC_W, however, it decreased for CLI_N, regardless of the type of pesticide. The adsorptivity of pesticides was independent of pH for phosphamidon, fenitrothion and triadimefon, whereas it decreased with increasing pH for diniconazole, regardless of zeolite type.

This study was conducted to consider practical use of F2 hybrid and intervariety crossing for the improvement of silkworm eggs export and silkworm eggs manufacture. Now Kumokjam and Baegokjam come into wide use to sericulture farmers but comparison test of F1, F2 hybrid and intervariety have not been done. We weighed against the productivity among economical character. While larval period of F2 among them is most long time, pupation percentage and cocoon yield per 10,000 3rd molted larvae are lower than intervariety. With comparing F2 and intervariety, single cocoon weight of F2 is lower 9 ~ 21% than intervariety, and cocoon shell weight of F2 was lower 10 ~ 18% than intervariety. By number of cocoons per liter, F2 hybrid was lower and more irregular size than intervariety. In coparison with number of egg laid, F2 hybrid Baegokjam was 655 ea (14%) and Kumokjam 625 ea (40%) more than F1 hybrid. Also, F2 hybrid for filament grade went down than F1 hybrid. The advantage of egg production in F2 hybrid can reduce costs because there is no necessity for sex discrimination and germination control. But besides increase of number of egg laid, the productivity including economical characters was greatly lowered. Except for being a lot of laying eggs, cocoon productivity of the F2 was greatly reduced by degeneration of practical traits. Therefore the further studies are needed in order to increase utilization value of the F2 hybrid silkworm.

Background: Ginsenoside F1 has been described to possess skin-whitening effects on humans. We aimed to synthesize a new ginsenoside derivative from F1 and investigate its cytotoxicity and melanogenesis inhibitory activity in B16BL6 cells using recombinant glycosyltransferase enzyme. Glycosylation has the advantage of synthesizing rare chemical compounds from common compounds with great ease. Methods: UDP-glycosyltransferase (BSGT1) gene from Bacillus subtilis was selected for cloning. The recombinant glycosyltransferase enzyme was purified, characterized, and utilized to enzymatically transform F1 into its derivative. The new product was characterized by NMR techniques and evaluated by MTT, melanin count, and tyrosinase inhibition assay. Results: The new derivative was identified as (20S)-$3{\beta},6{\alpha},12{\beta}$,20-tetrahydroxydammar-24-ene-20-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranosyl-3-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside(ginsenoside Ia), which possesses an additional glucose linked into the C-3 position of substrate F1. Ia had been previously reported; however, no in vitro biological activity was further examined. This study focused on the mass production of arduous ginsenoside Ia from accessible F1 and its inhibitory effect of melanogenesis in B16BL6 cells. Ia showed greater inhibition of melanin and tyrosinase at $100{\mu}mol/L$ than F1 and arbutin. These results suggested that Ia decreased cellular melanin synthesis in B16BL6 cells through downregulation of tyrosinase activity. Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first study to report on the mass production of rare ginsenoside Ia from F1 using recombinant UDP-glycosyltransferase isolated from B. subtillis and its superior melanogenesis inhibitory activity in B16BL6 cells as compared to its precursor. In brief, ginsenoside Ia can be applied for further study in cosmetics.
