  • In this paper, the applicability of the low-density surface film copper mesh for aircraft applications have been analyzed. Recently, low-density surface film copper mesh is developed to reduce weight and cost compared with traditional surface film copper mesh. In order to apply low-density surface film copper mesh to aircraft, it is needed to analyze its electromagnetic effects as well as structural integrity with sandwich panels to prevent pinholes. The structural integrity and electromagnetic characteristics have been analyzed for 2 samples of low-density surface film copper mesh and 1 sample of surface film copper mesh. To review the applicability of the low-density surface film, it is combined with sandwich composite panel to confirm pinhole effects. The low-density surface film has been modeled as a periodic structure and analyzed with 3D electromagnetic simulation tool. The simulation results has been verified through measured electromagnetic transmission results using free space measurements. From the results, it will be possible to use these results for the analysis and the applicability of low-density surface film copper mesh for aircraft.

  • The increase in temperature due to climate warming is predicted to affect crop yields in the future. Until now, various types of OTC (open top chamber) that simulate the future climate condition have been developed and used to study the effect of temperature increase due to global warming on maize growth. However, in most OTCs, high equipment and maintenance costs were required to artificially increase the temperature. This study was carried to develop a cost-effective and simple OTC suitable for climate warming experiments for forage maize. Three octagonal OTCs with a height of 3.5 m × a diameter of 4.08 m and a partially covered top were constructed. The lower part of OTC covered film was opened at a height of 26 cm (OTC-26), 12 cm (OTC-12) from the ground surface, or not opened (0 cm, OTC-0). Mean air temperatures during the daytime on a sunny day in OTC-0, OTC-12 and OTC-26 increased to 3.23℃, 1.33℃, and 0.89℃, respectively, compared to the ambient control plot. For a pilot test, forage maize, 'Gwangpyeongok' was grown at OTCs and ambient control plots. As a result, in the late maize vegetative growth phase (July 30), the plant height was increased more than 45% higher than the ambient control plot in all OTC plots, and the stem diameter also increased in all OTC plots. These results indicate that it is possible to set the temperature inside the OTC by adjusting the opening height of the lower end of the OTC, and it can be applied to study the response of forage maize to elevated temperature. An OTC, with its advantages of energy free, low maintenance cost, and simple temperature setting, will be helpful in studying maize growth responsiveness to climate warming in the future.

  • Purpose - This paper analyzes the relationship between trade facilitation and agricultural products exports and estimates the effects of trade facilitation in importing countries on Chinese agricultural products exports, which is of great significance for promoting agricultural trade between China,Japan and Korea and the governments of the three countries to formulate targeted trade facilitation policies. Design/methodology - Based on Wilson (2003) theoretical framework, this paper sets up its own trade facilitation level measurement system by involving four primary indicators and fifteen secondary indicators to evaluate the trade facilitation levels of Japan and Korea from 2011 to 2018 respectively. The paper selected the data on China's agricultural exports at the HS4 level from 2011-2018 and used a fixed-effects model to estimate the effect of changes in trade facilitation levels in trading partner countries on China's agricultural trade. Findings - Our main findings can be summarized as follows: the level of trade facilitation in importing countries has a significantly positive effect on China's agricultural exports. The higher the level of trade facilitation in trading partner countries, the more Chinese agricultural exports trade, i.e. for every 1 percentage point increase in the level of trade facilitation, the volume of exports will increase by 2.299%.The sub-sample test shows that China's main agricultural products exported to Japan and Korea, such as aquatic products, vegetables, fruits and other perishable fresh products, are particularly significantly affected by the level of trade facilitation. Originality/value - First, from the innovation of the research perspective, which is different from the analysis of the existing paper on the overall trade facilitation of all traded commodities. This article is based on the close trade relations between China, Japan and Korea, and the particularity of agricultural products, from the perspective of China's agricultural exports to Japan and Korea, discuss the impact of importing countries-Japan and Korea's trade facilitation levels on China's agricultural exports;Secondly, in this paper, the hierarchical data of the HS4 quartile is used to avoid the information loss of the industry, and to analyse the impact of the importing country's trade facilitation level on the export of different types of agricultural products more scientifically.

  • This paper focuses on three novels that reflect absence of family. Conflicts caused by absence of parents or lack of function and role of parents were principle drivers fueling growth novels. In Chinese growth novels, children in a long-standing tradition of emulsion and political pressure were unable to express their conflict with parents. Out of the collective interest and only until the late 1980s, which can be found of the individuals were able to fully appreciate the growth of children. Since the late 1990s, the creative individual cases to the growth is an important point of Chinese growth. Due to a close relationship of the literature and politics further noteworthy that the growth of state for personal growth for China's growth. Reform and opening up the end of the Cultural Revolution, the emergence of new generation of cultural sensitivity with a relatively free personal attention to the growth of the chance that can be. In this paper, created since the 1990s, the growth of the stories of yuhua (余華)'s "Cry in the Rain"("在細雨中呼喊"), sutong(蘇童)'s "The Northern Part of the City"("城北地帶"), wanggang(王剛)'s "English"("英格力士"), going to go through by focusing on how to respond in the lack of family. "Cry in the Rain" shows that a consciousness orphan child abandoned main actors 'consciousness from his birth parents and adoptive parents. "The Northern Part of the City" chronicles different growth stories of children who experienced a void because of their absent families and found comfort in peer groups. "English" is distinguished from the mainstream narrative of Chinese growth in terms of creating a role model. Individual growth through the role model in that it will eventually establish their own identities and further growth. Because of that, this novel is considered best practices of Chinese growth novels. This kind of narrative, which returns to the memory of the growth of growth, has a richer connotation amid various attempts by writers out of the past era of obsession and fatigue.

  • This study was carried out to gain basic informations about amylogram, antioxidant activity function and physicochemical properties for kernel of the newly developed waxy corn hybrids. The used materials were produced in 2008 and cultivated at breeding farm of CNU in 2009. From amylogram analysis, peak and minimum viscosity of the used hybrids were appeared in CNU08H-71 and CNU08H-69 hybrid, respectively. DPPH free radical scavenging effect marked as election donating ability was highly appeared in CNU08H-15 and CNU08H-69 hybrid, while CNU08H-h102 hybrid was the lowest. Hardness of kernel was highly appeared in CNU08H-35 hybrid, and chewiness and gumminess were also the highest in this hybrid, but those of CNU08H-h105 hybrid were the lowest. In these facts, we confirmed that the used hybrids were very different among traits related to amylogram, functions and table qualities. Accordingly, development of the new waxy corn hybrid will be profitable to select and develop as a crossing combination including many excellent traits.

  • Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is one of the major food sources of protein, oil, carbohydrates, isoflavones, and other nutrients for both humans and animals. However, soybean seeds contain antinutritional factors, such as lectin protein, Kunitz Trypsin Inhibitor (KTI) protein, and stachyose. The objective of this research was to stack recessive alleles for development a triple recessive genotype, titilelers2rs2, with low KTI protein, lectin protein, and stachyose contents. Three parents (Gaechuck#2, PI200508, and 14G20) were used to develop the breeding population. The presence or absence of the lectin and KTI proteins was detected by western blotting. The stachyose content in mature seeds was determined by HPLC. Agronomic traits, such as plant type, plant height, maturity date, lodging, seed quality, and 100-seed weight, were evaluated for the four $F_3$ plant strains. One $F_4$ plant strain with the desired agronomical traits was selected. One new strain with the triple recessive titilelers2rs2 genotype was developed. The plant height of the new strain was 51 cm and the 100-seed weight was 31.0 g. The new strain had a yellow seed coat and yellow hilum. The stachyose content of the new strain was 3.8 g/kg. One strain developed in this research will be used to produce improved yellow soybean cultivars that are free of lectin and KTI proteins and low in stachyose content.

  • Cellular automata have been applied to simulations in many fields such as astrophysics, social phenomena, fire spread, and evacuation. Using cellular automata, this study develops a model for consequence analysis of the dispersion of hazardous chemicals, which is required for risk assessments of and emergency responses for frequent chemical accidents. Unlike in cases of detailed plant safety design, real-time accident responses require fast and iterative calculations to reduce the uncertainty of the distribution of damage within the affected area. EPA ALOHA and KORA of National Institute of Chemical Safety have been popular choices for these analyses. However, this study proposes an initiative to supplement the model and code continuously and is different in its development of free software, specialized for small and medium enterprises. Compared to the full-scale computational fluid dynamics (CFD), which requires large amounts of computation time, the relative accuracy loss is compromised, and the convenience of the general user is improved. Using Python open-source libraries as well as meteorological information linkage, it is made possible to expand and update the functions continuously. Users can easily obtain the results by simply inputting the layout of the plant and the materials used. Accuracy is verified against full-scale CFD simulations, and it will be distributed as open source software, supporting GPU-accelerated computing for fast computation.

  • Recently, the rapid growth of the companion animal market has led to the development of animal disease diagnosis kits. Therefore, the utility of the introduction of biomarkers for the development of animal molecular diagnostics is being reevaluated. A good biomarker should be precise and reliable, distinguish between normal and diseased states, and differentiate between different diseases. Recently reported genetic markers, tumor markers (cell free DNA, circulating tumor cells, granzyme, and skin tumors), and others (brucellosis, programmed death recovery-1, symmetric dimethylarginine, periostin, and cysteinyl leukotrien) have been developed. The biomarkers are used for risk prediction or for the screening, diagnosis, and monitoring of disease progression. The most important criteria for related biomarkers are disease specificity. Many potential biomarkers have emerged from laboratory and test studies, but they have not been validated in independent or large-scale clinical studies. Candidate biomarkers evaluate disease associations, verify the effectiveness of biomarkers for early detection and disease progression, and incorporate them into humans and animals. In the future, it will be necessary to reevaluate the utility of well-structured biomarker-based research and study the development of kits that can be used in on-site tests in accordance with the trends introduced in the diagnosis of animal diseases.
