In this study, a field study was conducted to investigate the relationship between high-resolution remote images and the volumetric moisture, and the number of compaction. Changes in the shape of the surface and soil moisture content were observed and correlated with the number of compactions using roller equipment. As the compaction is repeated, the surface is flattened and the terrain curvature decreases and converges to zero. In particular, the tangential curvature changes as the number of compactions increase. Due to soil compaction, the vegetation index changed from a positive to a negative value, and most of the test site area was homogenized with a negative index. This suggests a decrease in porosity and an increase in volumetric water content associated with increasing soil compaction. Soil moisture, measured using a frequency domain reflectometry(FDR) sensor, tends to increase proportionately with the number of vibration compactions, but the correlation between the number of compactions and soil moisture is unclear. This study suggests that while it is necessary to consider the reproducibility of the experiments performed, the compaction quality of the soil can be evaluated using high-resolution terrain factors and soil moisture.

Mechanical properties and water stability of HAC/PVA based MDF cement composite were investigated using polyurethane(PU) resin, silane coupling agent and various PVA. The results were as follows ; The flexural strength of MDF cement composite increased as increasing with PVA content. Low-viscosity PVA developed higher flexural strength than high-viscosity PVA under a drying curing condition. But the strength of water immersed specimen decreased. Water stability of MDF cement improved as increasing with content of PU. Consequently, water stability of polyurethane 7% added MDF cement was about 2 times higher than that of the controlled specimen. Furthermore, the strength and water stability of diamine group based silane couling agent in using MDF cement increased and improved dramatically.

DPPH radical scavenging activities were 66.80% by hot water extract and 41.86% by 80% methanol extract. Inhibitions of angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) were 91.09% by hot water extract and 75.20% by 80% methanol extract. In this study, Sulgidduk samples were prepared with 1, 3, 5, and 7% concentrated sweet pumpkin powder (CSPP), and a control were examined for quality characteristics such as moisture content, water activity, color, textural characteristics, and sensory qualities, in order to determine the optimal ratio of CSPP in the formulation. The samples containing CSPP exhibited significantly higher moisture content than the control group. Water activity was not significantly different among the Sulgidduk samples. For the color, the control group presented significantly higher lightness as compared to the samples containing CSPP. The samples containing 1 and 3% CSPP had significantly higher greenness than the samples containing 5 and 7% CSPP. Yellowness increased as the level of CSPP content increased. In terms of textural characteristics, hardness, gumminess, and chewiness were highest at the 1% substitution level, while lowest at the 3% level. The CSPP samples presented significantly higher adhesiveness, springiness, and cohesiveness than the control group. In the consumer acceptance and characteristic intensity rating test, the control group showed significantly higher color and flavor as compared to the CSPP samples. Pumpkin flavor, delicious taste, and off-flavor increased with increasing amounts of CSPP. Softness, overall acceptability, and gumminess were not significantly different among the various samples tested. Sweetness was highest at the 5% substitution level, while lowest at the 1% level. In conclusion, the results indicate that substituting $3{\sim}5%$ CSPP to Sulgidduk is optimal, providing good DPPH radical scavenging activity and inhibition of ACE as well as reasonably high overall acceptability.

In this study, Sulgidduk samples were prepared with substitutions of 1, 2, 3, and 4% tomato powder, along with a control, and were then analyzed for quality characteristics such as moisture content, water activity, color, textural characteristics, and sensory qualities, in order to determine the optimal ratio of tomato powder in the formulation. According to the results, moisture content and water activity were not significantly different among the Sulgidduk samples. In terms of color, as the level of tomato powder content increased, lightness decreased, while the a-value (+redness/-greenness), and yellowness increased. For the textural characteristics, the samples showed significant differences for hardness, adhesiveness, and gumminess, while fracturability was not significantly different. In addition, the samples containing tomato powder presented significantly higher springiness, cohesiveness(except the 1% substitution level), chewiness, and resilience than the control group. In the sensory evaluation, the control group had significantly higher scores for color and flavor as compared to the tomato powder samples. Furthermore, flavor and overall acceptability decreased, while tomato flavor, sourness, and off-flavor increased with increasing tomato powder content. Sweetness and after-taste were not significantly different among the samples. In conclusion, the results indicate that substituting 2${\sim}$3% tomato powder in Sulgidduk is optimal for quality, and provides a product with reasonably high overall acceptability.

Many consumers are concerned about the high levels of salt intake owing to the accompanied risk of chronic diseases. Due to this dietary concern, the food industry has recommended the reduction of salt content in many products. However, the addition of salt to meat products improves their quality and sensory properties, including saltiness, color, juiciness, and texture. Because quality deteriorations could induce decreased sensory scores owing to salt reductions, the challenges involved in improving the quality of reduced-salt meat products have been addressed. During the development of low-salt meat products, it is important to reduce sodium content and address the problems that arise with this reduction. Modified salt, organic acids, amino acids, nucleotides, hydrocolloids, high-pressure, ultrasound, electric pulsed field, and irradiation have been suggested as strategies to replace or reduce sodium content, and sensory scores could be improved by these strategies. Therefore, when developing a low-salt meat product, several perspectives must be considered and the latest technologies that could resolve this problem should be adopted.

Purpose. In this study, two types of soft contact lenses with different materials were selected to compare the time of tear film destruction and high order aberrations before and after wearing. Methods. Thirty patients (60 eyes) in their 20s were included in this study. Two lenses with different materials, Group 4 (Etafilcon A) and Group 5 (Narafilcon A) were selected. Using aberration analyzer and keratometry, high-order aberration and tear film test (NIF-BUT, NIAvg-BUT) were performed before and after wearing. Results. When comparing the higher aberrations of the Etafilcon A and Narafilcon A lenses, the higher aberrations of the Narafilcon A lens were higher overall. For the initial tear film break-up time (NIF-BUT) after wearing, the Etafilcon A lens was reduced by 4.0 seconds and the Narafilcon A lens increased by 0.6 seconds. For the mean tear film break-up time (NIAvg-BUT) after wearing, the Etafilcon A lens decreased by 2.4 seconds and the Narafilcon A lens increased by 1.7 seconds. Conclusions. NIF-BUT and NIAvg-BUT of Narafilcon A lens were increased. The lens with relatively low water content and higher oxygen permeability than the lens with high water content has relatively less tear evaporation, which means that the time of destruction of the tear film is increased.
