Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) is one of the major insect pests causing economic damages to over 900 different crops in the world. Especially, B. tabaci JpL (L. japonica) is known as a species living only in Japan and Korea so far, and mainly in Lonicera japonica and specific plant species. This study was conducted to investigate the occurrence and spread of B. tabaci JpL on Jeju Island in 2019. Of the total 25 areas surveyed, 1,003 individuals of B. tabaci JpL adults were collected from 24 L. japonica and one Conyza sumatrensis. All populations identified belonged to the JpL species. The result of this study showed that the population of B. tabaci JpL has increased at very high speeds to date compared to the previous reports in Korea.

In order to identify the origin and nature of the spilled oil in the potential source, we analyzed the concentrations of specific fuel constituents in fuel standard and environmental samples. The ratios of pristane/phytane are virtually unaltered because these compounds have the same bolatility in environmental samples. These were useful to identify the source of the fuel oil and to assess the effect of microbial degradation and weathering of the fuel oil. We analyzed the ratios of pristane/phytane in neat white kerosene, boiler kerosene, JP-8 and diesel products from L and S gas station. The ratios of pristane/phytane in L-white kerosene and JP-8 was 3.10 $\pm$0.03 and 1.77 $\pm$ 0.01, respectively. Otherwise, the ratios of pristane/phytane in water phase after distribution of fuel oil and water was 2.97 $\pm$0.02 in case of white kerosene and 1.65 $\pm$ 0.02 in case of JP-8. It is apparent from the results that the ratios of pristane/phytane were as product-specific, especially between kerosene and JP-8, and therefore, can also be used for fuel type identification in free products and groundwater samples which were collected in monitoring wells.

A gas chromatography/mass spectrometric assay method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of icing inhibitors, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether and diethylene glycol monomethyl ether in ground water contaminated with JP-8. Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether and ethylene glycol monoethyl ether were used as the internal standard and surrogate, respectively. 100 mL of ground water was extracted twice with 20 mL of methylene chloride. The extract was concentrated to dryness, dissolved with 100 ${\mu}$L of methanol and analyzed by GC-MS (SIM). The use of an Innowax column gave the peaks good chromatographic properties, and the extraction of these compounds from samples gave recoveries of about 50% with small variations. The method detection limits of the target compounds were in a range of 0.5-0.8 ng/mL in ground water.

This study has carried out to evaluate the performance of direct and indirect oxidation electrode for the purpose of decolorization of Rhodamine B (RhB) in water. Four kinds of electrodes were used for comparison: Pt and JP202 (indirect oxidation electrode), Pb and boron doping diamond (BDD, direct oxidation electrode). The effect of applied current (0.5 ~ 2.5 A), electrolyte type (NaCl, KCl, HCl, $Na_2SO_4$ and $H_2SO_4$) and electrolyte concentration (0.5 ~ 2.5 g/L), solution pH (3 ~ 11) and initial RhB concentration (25 ~ 125 mg/L) were evaluated. Experimental results showed that RhB removal efficiency were increased with increase of current, NaCl dosage and decrease of the pH. However, the effect of operating parameter on the RhB removal were different with the electrode type. JP202 electrode was the best electrode from the point of view of performance and energy consumption. The order of removed RhB concentration per energy lie in: JP202>Pt>Pb>BDD.

Purpose: The manner of rectal bleeding of auto-amputated polyps (AP) is similar to juvenile polyps (JP) or Meckel's diverticula (MD). We conducted this study to characterize the clinical spectrum of AP. Methods: Fourteen patients were enrolled this study who were diagnosed AP due to painless rectal bleeding. The clinical data of AP was assessed and then compared with the clinical data of JP and MD retrospectively. Results: The prevalence of AP was 10.4% (14/135) and high in younger patients compared with that of JP (p=0.042 below 2 years). Whereas JP was more common in patients aged 2 to 5 years (p=0.005). Male was predominant in AP (p=0.008 AP vs JP). The manner of rectal bleeding in AP group was sudden and transient. There was no significant difference in time interval between onset of rectal bleeding and diagnosis between the 3 groups. However AP was diagnosed in 9 patients (64.3%) within 7 days after onset of rectal bleeding, but JP was diagnosed in 5 patients (4.1%) in the same period (p<0.001). All of AP were located in the rectum and the sigmoid colon. The mean hemoglobin was 11.3${\pm}$1.5 g/dL in AP, 11.8${\pm}$1.3 g/dL in JP, and 8.4${\pm}$1.2 g/dL in MD (p<0.001, only significant in MD). Conclusion: AP may be considered in male older than 1 year with transient and sudden onset or increase of painless rectal bleeding without drop of hemoglobin level.

A gas chromatography/mass spectrometric assay method was developed for the simultaneous determination of ethylene glycol monomethyl ether (EGME) and diethylene glycol monomethyl ether (DEGME) in spilled aviation fuels. Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether (EGBE) and ethylene glycol monoethyl ether (EGEE) were used as internal standard and surrogate, respectively. The sample preparation consists of back-extraction with 7 mL of methylene chloride after extraction of 50 mL of fuel with 2 mL of water. The extract was concentrated to dryness and dissolved with 100L of methanol and analyzed by CC-MS (SIM). The peaks had good chromatographic properties by using semi-polar column and the extraction of these compounds from fuel also gave high recoveries of 75 and 85 % with small variations for EGME and DEGME, respectively. Method detection limits were 1.3 ng/mL for EGME and 1.0 ng/mL for DEGME in spilled fuel. The method may be useful for fuel-type differentiation between kerosene and JP-8, which may originate from the storage tank.

higher. The Hunter color test showed lower L values with higher amounts of added JP to the Jeung-Pyun. In the sensory test. the 7 % added group had the strongest color according to the texture; the highest cohesiveness was shown in the 5 % added group, and the highest springiness was shown by the 3% added group, but none of these showed any significant differences. As for flavor, the more JP added the higher the stale grain flavor and bitterness. In the result of the overall acceptability test, the stale grain flavor of the 5% added group showed the highest values for the favorite texture and flavor. From the results of this experiment, when making stale grain flavored Jeung-Pyun, the 3 and 5% added groups were the optimum concentrations for the observed improvements in the quality. This study was carried out to investigate the possibility of improving the quality characteristics of Jeung-Pyun, by the addition of Paecilomyces japonica powder (JP). Regarding the volume of the Jeung-Pyun fermentation, with respect to the different amounts of JP added, the groups containing JP showed increased volumes, and as for the pH. the group containing 5% showed the lowest value. Regarding the moisture content, the groups containing JP showed lower moisture contents than the control group. Regarding the amino acid content, the control group showed a higher amino acid content than those of the JP containing groups, and contained an even amount of essential amino acids. and Leucine, Phenylalanine and Arginine were especially.

Electrochemical degradation of phenol was evaluated at DSA (dimensionally stable anode), JP202 (Ru, 25%; Ir, 25%; other, 50%) electrode for being a treatment method in non-biodegradable organic compounds such as phenol. Experiments were conducted to examine the effects of applied current (1.0~4.0 A), electrolyte type (NaCl, KCl, $Na_2SO_4$, $H_2SO_4$) and concentration (0.5~3.0 g/L), initial phenol concentration (12.5~100.0 mg/L) on phenol degradation and $UV_{254}$ absorbance as indirect indicator of by-product degraded phenol. It was found that phenol concentration decreased from around 50 mg/L to zero after 10 min of electrolysis with 2.5 g/L NaCl as supporting electrolyte at the current of 3.5 A. Although phenol could be completely electrochemical degraded by JP202 anode, the degradation of phenol COD was required oxidation time over 60 min due to the generation of by-products. $UV_{254}$ absorbance can see the impact of as an indirect indicator of the creation and destruction of by-product. The initial removal rate of phenol is 5.63 times faster than the initial COD removal rate.

This study was carried out to investigate the quality characteristics of roll mill, jet mill Hericium erinaceus (HE) powders and seasonings using them (RPS and JPS). Water binding capacity of the jet mill HE powder(JP) was higher than that of roll mill HE powder(RP). The reduction of particle size resulted in the increases of specific surface area and JP showed smaller particle size than RP. $L^*$ of JP was significantly higher than that of RP. In sensory evaluation, the color and the flavor of seasoning showed on significant difference. Control and JPS got significantly high scores in 'Overall Acceptability' than RPS. Based on the results in this study, JPS is considered to have potential to be developed commercially as seasoning.

The isoflavone glycosides are hydrolyzed by ${\beta}$-glucosidase from gut microbes to the bioactive aglycones. However, the specific bacteria from the human intestinal tract that are involved in the metabolism of these compounds are not known. This study was undertaken to develop a fermented soymilk which converts isoflavones to the more bioactive aglycones form using a Bifidobacterium strain. The ${\beta}$-glucosidase activity of 15 Bifidobacterium strains were measured during cell growth. Among them, Bifidobacterium sp. Int-57 was selected for this study, because it has the highest ${\beta}$-glucosidase activity. Growth, acid development, ${\beta}$-glucosidase activity, and the hydrolysis of daidzin and genistin were investigated in four soymilks inoculated with Bifidobacterium sp. Int-57. After 12 h of fermentation, the counts of viable Bifidobacterium sp. Int-57 in all the soymilks reached a level of more than $10^8$ cfu/ml, which was then maintained. The pH of soymilks started to decrease rapidly after 6 h of fermentation and leveled off after 18 h. The titratable acidity of BL# 1 soymilk, BL#2 soymilk, and JP#l soymilk increased from 0.18 to 1.21, 1.15, and $1.08\%$ over the fermentation period, respectively. After 24 h of fermentation, the $\beta$-glucosidase activity in BL#1 soymilk, BL#2 soymilk, JP#l soymilk, and JP#2 soymilk increased to 59.528, 40.643, 70.844, and 56.962 mU/ml, respectively. The isoflavone glycosides, daidzin and genistin, in soymilks were hydrolyzed completely in the relatively short fermentation time of 18 h. These results show that Bifidobacterium sp. Int-57 can be used as a potential starter culture for developing fermented soymilk which has completely hydrolyzed isoflavone glycosides.
