'Daebak', a new cultivar of Grifola frondosa, was bred by mating two monokaryotic strains isolated from 'F14309' and 'GMGF44062' at the Mushroom Research Institute, Gyonggi-Do ARES in 2017. The optimum temperature for mycelial growth of 'Daebak' was $25^{\circ}C$ on PDA medium. In bottle cultivation, the culture period of 'Daebak' was 57 days, which was 2 days shorter than that of 'Cham' (control). The pinheading rate of 'Daebak' was 98.4%, which was 24.8% higher than that of 'Cham' and its CV (Coefficient of variation) was 0.6%, 5.3% lower than that of 'Cham'. Regarding the growth characteristics of 'Daebak', the diameter and thickness of the pileus were 27.7 mm and 1.73 mm, respectively, and the diameter and height of the fruiting bodies cluster were 132 mm and 87.2 mm, respectively. The pileus was thinner but the fruiting bodies cluster was larger than that of 'Cham'. Fruiting bodies weighed 139 g per 1,100 ml bottle of 'Daebak', which was 28% higher than that for 'Cham', with a CV of 2.5%, which was 6.2% lower than that of 'Cham'. The yield per 10,000 bottles (used for cultivation) of 'Daebak' was 1,376 kg, 70% higher than that of 'Cham', with a CV of 3.0% that was 11.5% lower than that of 'Cham'. With respect to physical characteristics, the strength and brittleness of the fruiting body of 'Daebak' was less than that of 'Cham'. When considering the period available for sale, the shelf life of 'Daebak' was 42 days, which was 6 days longer than that of 'Cham'.

This study was designed to determine the level of soybean meal (SM) that could be substituted for fish meal in the diet for Korean rockfish (Sebastes schlegeli). A control diet with white fish meal as only protein source was included, SM was substituted at levels of $5\%,\;10\%,\;15\%,\;and\;20\%$ for portions of the fish meal in the diet. Amino acids (met+lys) supplementation and two different SM particle sizes (0.5 mm and 0.25 mm) in the $20\%$ SM diet were compared. In addition, combination of $10\%$ SM, $10\%$ corn gluten meal (CGM) and $10\%$ meat and bone meal (MBM) was substituted for the fish meal in the diet. Duplicate groups of the 30 fish averaging 22.9 g were fed one of 8 isoproteic $(48\%)$and isolipidic $(7.5\%)$ experimental diets to satiation twice a day for 9 weeks. No significant differences were found among fish fed the control, substituting up to $20\%\;SM,\;20\%$ SM containing amino acids, and $10\%\;SM+10\%\;CGM+10\%$ MBM diets in weight gain, feed efficiency, daily feed intake, and protein retention (P>0.05). Feed efficiency, daily feed intake and protein retention in fish fed the diet containing $20\%$ SM with 0.5 mm particle size were not significantly different to those in fish fed the diets containing less than $20\%\;SM\;(P>0.05)$, however, weight gain was significantly lower than that of the control and $5\%\;SM\;diets\;(P<0.05)$. It is concluded that SM ran be used as a partial substitute for fish meal up to $20\%$ in the diet, and that the inclusion of SM with an adequate combination of several protein sources can replace larger amounts of fish meal in the diet.

This study was done ot investigate the effect of chronic alcohol feeding and acetylaminofluorene(2-AAF) treatment on hepatic mitochondrial ATPase activity andmembrane lipid composition. Male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 120~125g, were fed for 6 weeks on a liquid diet containing 35% of calories as ethanol. After 4 weeks of experiment diet feeding, 2-AAF(100mg/kg body weight) was injected twice a week intraperitoneally. Body weight and percent liver weight per body weight were significantly changed by ethanol feeding. Hepatic mitochondrial ATPase activity significantly decreased by ethanol feedings but not by 2-AAF treatment. In comparison to control, the ATPase activity of ethanol-AAF group decreased 29.3%. Since phospholipid(PL) content of mitochondria has an interaction effect between ethanol and 2-AAF treatment, 2-AAF treatment significantly increased phospholipid content in only ethanol fed group. Total cholesterol(C) level of mitochondria significantly increased by ethanol feeding. Consequently C/PL ratio of ethanol group was significantly higher than that of control group. The analysis of mitochondrial PL composition showed that cardiolipin(CL) significantly increased by 2-AFF treatment in control group. Phosphatidyl choline(PC) significantly increased by ethanol feeding, whereas PC significanlty decreased and phosphatidyl ethanolamine(PE) significantly increased by 2-AAF treatment. 2-AAF treatment also showed a significant increase in PE/PC ratio. Fatty acid patterns of mitochondria were also changed by either ethanol or 2-AAF although the severity of the changes was not great. These data suggest that the reduced mitochondrial ATPase activity in ethanol-AAF group may be a consequence of a changes in mitochondrial membrane lipid composition such as PE/PC ratio, C/PL ration and fatty acid patterns.

Upon development of information super-highway and multimedia-related technoiogies in recent years, more efficient technologies to transmit, store and retrieve the multimedia data are required. Among such technologies, firstly, it is common that the semantic-based image retrieval is annotated separately in order to give certain meanings to the image data and the low-level property information that include information about color, texture, and shape Despite the fact that the semantic-based information retrieval has been made by utilizing such vocabulary dictionary as the key words that given, however it brings about a problem that has not yet freed from the limit of the existing keyword-based text information retrieval. The second problem is that it reveals a decreased retrieval performance in the content-based image retrieval system, and is difficult to separate the object from the image that has complex background, and also is difficult to extract an area due to excessive division of those regions. Further, it is difficult to separate the objects from the image that possesses multiple objects in complex scene. To solve the problems, in this paper, I established a content-based retrieval system that can be processed in 5 different steps. The most critical process of those 5 steps is that among RGB images, the one that has the largest and the smallest background are to be extracted. Particularly. I propose the method that extracts the subject as well as the background by using an Image, which has the largest background. Also, to solve the second problem, I propose the method in which multiple objects are separated using RGB channel selection techniques having optimized the excessive division of area by utilizing Watermerge's threshold value with the object separation using the method of RGB channels separation. The tests proved that the methods proposed by me were superior to the existing methods in terms of retrieval performances insomuch as to replace those methods that developed for the purpose of retrieving those complex objects that used to be difficult to retrieve up until now.

Waste shell powder was added to the high density polyethylene(HDPE), and resultant mechanical properties and flame retardancy were analyzed in terms of shell content. Compatibilizer(PE-g-MA) was used to enhance the mechanical properties of the prepared HDPE/shell composites, and several flame retardant agents($Al_2O_3$, $Sb_2O_3$) were utilized to improve flame retardancy. Addition of the compatibilizer resulted in an improved mechanical properties due to the increased interfacial bonding between HDPE matrix and shell powder. In the case of impact strength, it even reached to the impact strength of pure HDPE. Also the addition of the flame retardant agents did not exhibit mechanical property decrease. UL-94 flammability test on the prepared HDPE/shell composites indicated that at 40wt% of shell only inclusion, time to ignite the flame and the total time of flame duration increased. When flame retardant agents mixed with shell powder were added to the HDPE matrix, improved flame retardancy was observed. Generally, flame retardancy effect of $Al_2O_3$ was better than $Sb_2O_3$. UL-94 V-0 classification was observed for the specimens with $Al_2O_3$ and compatibilizer at more than 40wt% shell, and also for specimens with $Sb_2O_3$ and compatibilizer at all shell content.

Young radishes (YR, yeolmu in Korean) were cultivated in the soil with and without sulfur. YR-Control (without sulfur) was grown in the normal soil. YR were grown in the soil with $1,818\;g/m^3$ sulfur (YR-A) and $1,818\;g/m^3$ sulfur added lime mortar (YR-B) on it, respectively. Also, we prepared YR kimchis using YR-Control, YR-A and YR-B. The kimchis were fermented at $5^{\circ}C$ for 8 weeks. The growth inhibitory effects of AGS human gastric adenocarcinoma cells of the YR samples and kimchis were investigated. YR kimchis after $4\~5$ weeks at $5^{\circ}C$ showed higher acidity of $0.88\~1.20\%$ with pH $4.3\~4.5$ and the YR kimchis kept approximately pH 4.0 until 8 weeks. The kimchi A and B using YR-A and YR-B showed faster fermentation time, higher level of Leuconostoc sp. and lower level of Lactobacillus sp. during the fermentation, comparing to the control kimchi using YR-Control. Juices from YR-A and YR-B showed higher growth inhibitory effects of AGS human gastric adenocarcinoma cells than the juice from YR-Control at the same concentration. The growth inhibitory effect of YR-A was similar to that of the YR-B. The kimchi A and B juices also exhibited higher inhibitory effects $(74\%)$ on the growth of AGS human gastric adenocarcinoma cells than that of the control kimchi $(57\%)$ at the higher concentration of $20{\mu}L/assay$. Methanol extracts from the YR-kimchis also led to the similar results to the results of the juices. These results suggested that preparing of kimchi using differently cultivated YR especially in the soil with sulfur, which can help to synthesize sulfur-containing compounds, could increase the growth inhibitory effects of AGS human gastric adenocarcinoma cells.

This study was conducted to screen in vitro angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activities of methanol (MeOH) and aqueous extracts which were prepared by four different extractions-80% methanol extracts(ME) at $20^{\circ}C\;and\;70^{\circ}C$, respectively and aqueous extracts (AE) at both temperatures with the residue of the MEs-of ten marine green algae and nineteen brown algae collected along Jeju coast of Korea. Most marine brown algae extracts showed higher capacities than those of marine green algae in ACE inhibitory activity. Particularly, $70^{\circ}C$ MeOH extract (70ME) of Hizikia fusiforme showed the strongest inhibition activity (about 87%) among all the extracts. Also, 70 MEs of Enteromorpha linza, Ishige sinicola, Laminaria ochotensis, Petrospongium rugosum, Sagrassum horneri, Undaria pinnatifida and $20^{\circ}C$ MeOH extracts (20ME) of Myagropsis myagroides, Petrospongium rugosum, $20^{\circ}C$ aqueous extracts (20AE) of Codium contractum, Enteromorpha compressa, and $70^{\circ}C$ aqueous extracts (70AE) of Ecklonia cava, Petrospongium rugosum showed moderate ACE inhibitory activities more than 50% and the other extracts exhibited weak activities. On tile other hand, E. cava had the best ACE inhibitory activity among 70AEs. This indicates that 70AE of E. cava contains potential anti-ACE macromolecular. We tried to proteolytic digest 70AE of E. cava to induce production of anti-ACE peptides from E. cava 70AE. The enzymes used are five pretenses including Kojizyme, Flavourzyme, Neutrase, Alcalase, and Protamex, which are food grade-commercial enzymes from Novo Co. Flavourzyme-digest of E. cava 70AE showed the highest inhibitory activity about 90%. And the five different enzymatic digests of the E. cava 70AE ranged from 2.33 to 3.56 ${\mu}g/mL$, respectively in $IC_{50}$ values of anti-ACE activity.

This study, basic research for releasing new chestnut cultivar, is conducted to consider quantitative nut characteristics according to combinations and individuals In 11 chestnut hybrids. Number of bur on bearing branch(NBB) and nut yield(NY), which showed large difference among combinations, was superior in JO ($Joook{\times}Otanba$) and KO ($Kwangeun{\times}Otanba$) combinations, respectively. Average nut weight (NW) was 21.1g, the highest in EO ($Eunsan{\times}Otanba$) combination. Nut shape which was expressed to the rate of nut height and width, was investigated to the range of 1.13-1.23 in the all combinations, so nut shape of all combinations showed oval type. EO and JO combinations, which were measured to 30.0% and 27.5%, respectively in the percentage with the pericarp split(PPS), were produced more bad fruits than the others. OK ($Otanba{\times}Kwangeun$) combination, 1.7%, was the most excellent in the percentage of polyembryonic nuts(PPN), and the superior combinations which was measured to the below 5%, could be included five combinations. ER and RK combinations, were the highest values, 16.3% and $10.0kg/cm^2$, in soluble solids content(SSC) and kernel hardness (KH), respectively. NBB showed highly positive correlation with NY, but showed highly negative correlation with SSC and NW. NW showed highly positive correlation with PPS, but showed highly negative correlation with SSC and NH. PPS showed highly positive correlation with PPN. Eight individuals such as superior individuals could be selected by selection criteria.

A prerequisite for precise quantification of nanomaterials contained in environmental samples is to prepare suitable preservation conditions of samples. This study was initiated to suggest preservation conditions of aqueous samples for analyses of metal nanomaterials. Variation in the size of silver nanomaterial (cit-AgNP) was observed according to change in various conditions, such as pH, electrolyte concentration, temperature, nanomaterial concentration, and time. Aggregation of AgNP was characterized for each environmental condition, and finally proper preservation conditions of samples were proposed based on experimental results on AgNP aggregation. In addition, the preservation period of sample was computed by the doublet time of AgNP. The results indicate that the aggregation rate of cit-AgNP was close to 0 at the conditions of pH of ${\geq}7$, electrolyte ($Ca(NO_3)_2$) concentration of ${\leq}3mM$, temperature of $4^{\circ}C$, and cit-AgNP concentration of ${\leq}2mg/L$. Furthermore, the experimental results on doublet time of cit-AgNP suggest that maximum preservation period was evaluated to be 15.79~17.53 days when the concentration of 100 nm cit-AgNP is assumed to be $1{\mu}g/L$ which is considered as an environmentally-relevant concentration of engineered nanomaterials. Our results suggest that samples should be preserved at $4^{\circ}C$ and analyzed within 2 weeks.

In order to remediate heavy metal contaminated Nong island, Maehyang-ri shooting range soils through the batch reactor scale washing were evaluated. The experiment texture soil of N3 in the Nong island at north side incline was (g)mS containing 12.9% gravel, 47.0% sand, 35.1% silt and 5.0% clay. And the N3 soil area was contaminated with Cd($22.5\pm1.9$ ppm), Cu($35.5\pm4.0$ ppm), Pb($1,279.0\pm5.1$ ppm) and Zn($403.4\pm9.8$ ppm). The EDTA(ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid, $C_{10}H_{16}N_2O_8$) in the N3 soil was observed as most effective extractants among the 5 extractants(citric acid, EDTA, phosphoric acid, potassium phosphate and oxalic acid) tested. And chemical partitioning of heavy metals after washing N3 soil with EDTA was evaluated. Removal efficiency of residual fractions was higher than that of non-residual fractions. To choose EDTA extractant which is the most effective in soil washing technology using batch reactor process cleaning Pb and Zn contaminated sits; Pb and Zn removal rates were investigated 92.4%, 94.0% removal(1,000 mM, soil:solution=5, $20^{\circ}C$, 24 hour shaking, pH=2, 200 RPM), respectively. The results of the batch test showed that the removal efficiency curve was logarithmic in soil was removal. Thus, EDTA washing process can be applied to remediate the Pb and Zn contaminated soil used in this study.
