Objective : The objective of this study was to compare the antioxidant effects of hot pepper extract and capsaicin. Methods : In vitro, antioxidant activities were examined by DPPH radical scavenging activity, total antioxidant capacity(TAC), oxygen radical scavenging capacity(ORAC), inhibition of induced lipid peroxidation using liver mitochonria and total phenolic contents. Results : 1. DPPH free radical scavenging activities at the concentrations of both 1 and $10mg/m{\ell}$ were 1.2 to 1.9 times higher in capsaicin than in hot pepper extract. The concentration of capsaicin required for 50% radical scavenging was lower than that of hot pepper extract(3.9 vs $5.9mg/m{\ell}$), indicating that capsaicin had higher DPPH radical scavenging activity than hot pepper extract. 2. Total antioxidant capacities of capsaicin at the concentrations of 0.1 and 1mg/ml(13.8 and 41.3 nmol Trolox equivalent) were not significantly different from those at the concentrations of 1 and $10mg/m{\ell}$(11.4 and 41.2nmol Trolox equivalent), indicating that capsaicin showed 10 times higher ABTS radical scavenging activity compared to hot pepper extract. 3. ORAC of capsaicin at the concentrations of 1, 5, 10 and 100 mg/ml were 0.04, 0.17, 0.29 and 1.74nmol gallic acid equivalent, respectively. On the other hand, ORAC of hot pepper extract at the concentrations of 1, 5, 10 and $100{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ were 0.15, 0.44, 0.75 and 2.49nmol gallic acid equivalent, respectively, indicating that capsaicin showed higher peroxyl radical scavenging activity than hot pepper extract. 4. Inhibition of lipid peroxidation caused by hot pepper extract at the concentrations of 1 and $10mg/m{\ell}$ were 12.2 and 61.4%, respectively. Inhibition of lipid peroxidation caused by capsaicin at the concentrations of 1 and $10mg/m{\ell}l$ were 64.0 and 96.8%, respectively. Thus capsaicin showed 10 times stronger effect in inhibiton of lipid peroxidation than hot pepper extract. 5. Total phenolic contents of hot pepper extract at the concentrations of 0.1 and $1mg/m{\ell}$ were 1.4 and 20.8nmol gallic acid equivalent, respectively. Total phenolic contents of capsaicin at the concentrations of 0.1 and $1mg/m{\ell}$ were 6.1 and 55.4 nmol gallic acid equivalent, respectively, indicating that capsaicin had 2.7 to 4.3 times higher total phenolic contents than hot pepper extract. Conclusions : In summary, the results of this study demonstrate significant antioxidant activity of hot pepper extract, although the activity was lowered compared to capsaicin, suggesting that hot pepper extract play a role in prevention of oxidative-related diseases.

This study aimed at suggesting Willingness To Pay (WTP) for introduction of the Traffic Accident emergency Call (TAC) system by using Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) which is a general valuation method. As the method, this study suggested a WTP estimation method of the TAC system with the double-bound dichotomous choice model. In previous studies, the data are processed differently according to the type of questions and analysis models used for the calculation of willingness to pay. Therefore, we re-organized the model by the cases using the truncated data sets, and showed the difference in WTPs. The dataset was developed by more than 500 questionnaire obtained from online and offline survey with the consideration of composition ratio by age group referring housing census in 2010 to mitigate regional bias of samples. At last, this study applied various statistical methods, survival analysis, multiple regression, and Tobit model for better interpretation of the questionnaires.

To expand the viewing angle of vertical alignment liquid crystal display (VA-LCD), a wide-band compensation film has been newly developed. VA-LCD needs a retardation film with improved oblique viewing property. The retardation film for VA-LCD has been fabricated by solvent casting and subsequent drawing triacetylcellulose (TAC) containing optical additives. Here, optical birefringence and wavelength dispersion of the retardation film strongly depend on the chemical structures of optical additives. Utilizing quantum mechanical computation, the polarizing anisotropy of retardation film was calculated with respect to additives. It is also realized that the wavelength dispersion of polarizing anisotropy depends on the type and location of substituent to the selected main isomer. When two propionates are substituted to the meta position of the selected main isomer, the wavelength dispersion of polarizing anisotropy shows the most gentle slop, which is well matched with the experimental results. The most gentle slop of wavelength dispersion means that the viewing angle characteristics of LCD are less influenced according to the wavelength of light source of LCD, and it's possible to make better image quality than the present level.

A numerical study to investigate the effect of intake vortex occurrence on the performance of an axial hydraulic turbine for generating tidal power energy in Sihwa-lake tidal power plant, Korea, is performed. Numerical analysis of the flow through an sxial hydraulic turbine is carried out by solving three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes dquations with the shear stress transport turbulence model. In the real turbine operation, the vortex flows are occurred in both the side corners around the intake of an axial hydraulic turbine due to the interaction between the inflow angle of water and intake structure. To analyze these vortex phenomena and to evaluate their impacts on the turbine performance, the internal flow fields of the axial hydraulic turbines with the different inflow angles are compared with their performances. As the results of numerical analysis, the vortex flows do not directly affect the turbine performance.

Antioxidant anticancer activities and nitric oxide (NO) production of Vietnamese and Thai yonganyook (Euphoria longana) fermented with lactic acid bacteria and Bacillus subtilis were investigated. Total organic acid contents (TAC) of Thai raw yonganyook (473.49 mg/g, 89.2% of TAC) were higher 3.2 tims than those of Vietnamese raw yonganyook (148.48 mg/g, 86.8% of TAC) and major organic acids of two materials were formic acid and malic acid. Total free sugars contents of Vietnamese raw yonganyook (434.63 mg/g) were higher 1.2 times than those of Thai raw yonganyook (378.77 mg/g) and major free sugar of two materials welt sucrose, glucose and fructose. NO production of RAW264.7 cell treated with methanol extract of Vietnamese fermented yonganyook was shown to be a lower level than that of Thai fermented yonganyook. It's production by fermented yonganyook was strongly exhibited in low dose (0.2 mg/mL) than in high dose (1.0 mg/mL) as compared with raw yonganyook Electron-donating ability (EDA) of Vietnamese raw yonganyook ($41.72{\pm}3.59%$) at $600\;{\mu}g/assay$ was higher 1.4 times than that of Thai yonganyook ($30.20{\pm}4.8%$). EDA of Vietnamese yonganyook fermented with B. subtilis at $600\;{\mu}g/assay$ was $43.57{\pm}2.07%$ which was the highest level of all samples tested. Anticancer activity of raw yonganyook on human HeLa cell was similar to between Vietnamese and Thai yonganyook. In inhibitory effect of HepG2 cell growth, methanol extract of Thai yonganyook ($46.13{\pm}4.80%$) was higher than that of Vietnamese yonganyook ($33.07{\pm}0.92%$). Inhibitory activity of fermented yonganyook on HeLa and HepG2 cell growth were $39.21{\pm}1.46%$ and $48.07{\pm}1.63%$ when $200\;{\mu}g/assay$ of methanol extract of Vietnamese and Thai yonganyook fermented with B. subtilis were used, respectively.

이 논문은 2002년도 부경대학교 수산경영학과 박사학위논문(A Study on Institutional Arrangements for Quota-Based Management : The Case of China's Marine Capture Fisheries)의 일부이다. 이 논문의 기본목적은 취터제에 기초한 중국의 어업관리를 위한 제도적인 틀을 세우고자 하는데 있으며, 이런 목적을 달성하기에 위해 이 논문은 다음과 같이 구성하여 연구를 진행시켰다. 제1장은 연구목적과 문제의 제기에 이어 제2장에서는 중국 해양어업의 개발과 이에 따른 문제점을 분석하였으며, 여기에서 궈터제에 기초한 어업관리정책의 제도적 제안을 함과 동시에, 제3장에서는 중국 해양어업의 현실과 중국 사회의 일반적인 현상을 분석하여 제4장을 통해 쿼터제에 기초한 중국의 어업관리를 위한 제도적 프레임러크를 제안하였다. 마지막으로 본 논문을 요약하고 향후 계속되어야 할 연구과제를 제시하였다. 본 논문의 중요한 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 현재 중국 수산업의 관리체제는 질적 규제 중심 관리제도, 그리고 정부 주도하의 어업관리 과정으로 특징지을 수 있다. 이러한 명령과 통제 (command-and-control) 방식의 전통적인 중국어업 관리제도로서는 어업인들에게 있어서 자원 보존에 대한 동기와 제도에 대한 수용성을 약화시키며, 정부 규제를 오히려 무시하게 되는 결과를 초래한다. 결과적으로 현형 중국의 어업관리제도는 어업인에게 있어서 자원 보전에 대한 유인을 약화시키고 단기적인 수익을 극대화하도록 유도하는 맹점을 지니므로 인해 더 이상 지속적인 어업성립의 보장을 할 수 없다는 점을 지적할 수 있다. 중국정부는 이러한 어업관리제도의 불완전성을 인식하여 2000년 10월 31일에 1986년 에 제정된 수산업법을 개정하게 되었으며, 새로운 중국의 수산업법은 어업 허가제도와 함께 할당량제에 기초한 어업관리제도를 국가가 운영하는 것으로 특징지을 수 있다. 그러나 아직까지 중국은 할당제에 근거한 어업관리제도를 미실시중에 있으며, 그 내용도 애매모호한 점을 많이 가지고 있다. 또한 중국의 절대적 어획량은 현재 논란의 여지로 남아있고, 거대 어업 인구의 근본적인 요구와 중국 어선의 국제적인 경쟁력, 그리고 유어(遊漁)에 대한 사회적 요구 등도 중국의 수산정책이 채결해야 할 과제이다. 위에서 고찰한 내용을 기초로 하여 우리는 중국의 쿼터제에 기초한 어업관리에 대해 다음과 같은 몇 가지를 제안한다. 중국 연근해어업에 있어서 할당제 모형에 참가하는 어업 참여자들의 유형은 세 가지로 구분할 수 있다. 첫째는 어촌에 거주하면서 생존수단으로 소규모 어업에 종사하는 경우이고, 둘째는 유어어업의 경우이며, 셋째는 상업적 목적으로 어업에 종사하는 집단으로 나눌 수 있다. 이러한 세 집단을 하나의 제도의 틀로 통합하기 위해서는 국가의 총허용어획량(TAC)을 총 어촌 허용어획량(TAIVCs)과 총 허용 유어 어획량(TARCs) 및 총허용 상업적 어획량 (TACCs)의 세부문으로 나눌 것을 제안한다. 그리하여 다시 TAFVCs와 TARCs, 그리고 TACCs는 어촌별 어획량(ITCQs), 개별 유어 회사별 어획량(IRCQs), 그리고 양도 가능한 개별 상업적 어획량(ITCQs)으로 나누어 관리하도록 한다. 이와 같이 중국의 국가 총허용어획량(TAC)을 IFVQs와 IRCQs, 그리고 ITQCQs의 세부문으로 구분하여 할당하고, 여기에 기초하여 어업을 관리하는 것은 중국에 있어서 사회적 형평성과 경제적 효율성과의 상충관계를 고려하여 고안된 것으로, 중국에 있어서 수산업을 통한 경제적 및 사회적 효과를 동시에 기대할 수 있을 것이다.

In order to set the outdoor weather conditions to be applied to the design standard of the greenhouse heating and cooling system, outdoor air temperature and heating degree-hour for heating design, dry bulb temperature, wet bulb temperature and solar irradiance for cooling design were analyzed and presented. For every region in Korea, we used thirty years from 1981 to 2010 hourly weather data for analysis, which is the current standard of climatological normal provided by KMA. Since the use of standard weather data is limited, design weather conditions were obtained using the entire weather data for 30 years, and the average value of the entire data period was presented as a design standard. The design weather data with exceedance probability of 1, 2.5, and 5% were analyzed by the TAC method, and we presented the distribution map with exceedance probability of 1% for heating and 2.5% for cooling which are recommended by design standards. The changes of maximum heating load, seasonal heating load and maximum cooling load were examined by regions, exceedance probabilities, and setpoint temperatures. The proposed outdoor design conditions can be used not only directly for the greenhouse heating and cooling design, but also for the reinforcement of heating and cooling facilities and the establishment of energy saving measures. Recently, due to the climate change, sweltering heat in summer and abnormal temperature in winter are occurring frequently, so we need to analyze weather data periodically and revise the design standard at least every 10 years cycle.

Field sequential liquid crystal display (FSLCD) has advantages such as a high transmittance due to no use of color filter and high color reproductivity because of LED backlight for a luminance source. However, to realize FSLCD response time of the LCD must be below 5ms. In this paper, we have chosen electrically controlled birefringence (ECB) mode for this application and studied film compensation to improve the operating voltage and viewing angle and to achieve a fast response time optimizing the condition of the discotic film and TAC film, operating voltage decreases to 5V, and viewing angle range is $160^{\circ}$ at horizontal and vertical direction, respectively and $120^{\circ}$ in diagonal direction. (contrast ratio > 10:1) and optimized cell exhibits a fast response time of 4ms in most grey levels.

The age and growth of jack mackerel Trachurus japonicus caught by large purse seine fishery were studied during August 2004 and May 2005. Otoliths of 472 fish were observed under reflected light, and translucent zones made on the post-rostrum axis were regarded as annual marks. Monthly changes in the marginal index indicated that the translucent zone was formed once a year, mainly in March-April, which was coincident with the peak spawning time of jack mackerel. The estimated ages were 0-6 years, corresponding to a fork length (FL) range of 13 to 38 cm. Most obtained individuals were 2-year-old fish, followed by 1-year-old fish. The mean fork length at age from otolith reading (sex combined) was applied to the von Bertalanffy equation and growth parameters were estimated: L_∞ = 38.29 cm FL, k = 0.31 years⁻¹, t₀ = −0.81 years.

L-Proline-producing mutant strains were developed by exposing L-glutamic acid-producing bacteria to N-metyl-N-nitro-nitrosoguanidine and UV irradiation. A L-histidine auxotroph of Corynebacterium acetoacidophilum RYU3161(KCTC 0616BP), which was resistant to sulfaguanidine and proline analogs (DHP, AZC, TAC), was isolated. The activity of the mutant strain's $\gamma$-glutamyl kinase was 45% higher than that of the parent strain. The optimum level of L-histidine for production of L-proline was 0.16 g/l. In a 5-1 jar fermenter, the mutant strain produced L-proline at a high concentration (35 g/l) level within 48 h of cultivation.
