도로네트워크 데이터는 교통 정보, 경로 안내서비스 등 실시간 정보제공을 위해 차량 항법용 데이터에서 가장 핵심적인 영역에 해당하며 효율적인 관리와 유지가 필수적이다. 기존 파일 기반 시스템인 미디어 포맷(KIWI, GDF 등)에서는 콤팩트한 데이터 구성으로 읽기 위주의 빠른 매체 접근 등에 좋은 이점이 있지만, 최근 모바일 시스템 환경에 DBMS를 활용한 위치 기반 서비스(LBS)에 대한 관심이 증가 하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 임베디드 DBMS를 이용하여 네트워크의 계층성을 지원하는 데이터 모델과 이를 활용한 탐색 알고리듬을 설계하고 프로토타입 시스템을 구현하였다. 특히 대규모 도로망의 원거리 탐색을 대상으로 메모리 구성과 탐색 시간 측면에서 일반 영역 탐색방법과 계층 탐색방법의 검색 결과를 비교하여 계층 탐색 방법의 효율성을 검증하였다.

It is well known that FTA increases consumer welfare. However, it is difficult to analyze consumer welfare effects of FTA for item by item because of the difficulty in data collection. In this respect, this study aims at analyzing the types of increasing consumer welfares with item by item. According to the result of the study, there are five types of consumer welfare increased by FTA, and the items are like below: banana, kiwi, octopus, wine, and etc. However, it is hard for consumer to feel effects of FTA directly for several reasons. The problem of distribution structure of imported goods and, tariff reductions over long period are parts of the reasons to reduce the consumer wealfare effects. And the lack of consumer awareness about imported goods also reduces them. In order to promote FTA more efficiently, this study suggests that the government must improve the problems mentioned because consumer consent is essential element for further FTA promotion.

The ascorbic acid contents of 101 food items were analyzed by HPLC to provide database to estimate dietary intakes of ascorbic acid of Korean. Foods with high contents of ascorbic acid were green vegetables, citrus fruits, strawberry, kiwi, and fruit juices. This analysis data of ascorbic acid contents in some food items showed significant deviations compared with other Food Composition Table. Ascorbic acid content in soups were lower than those of raw foods by about 57%. The ascorbic acid contents in blanched or seasoned after blanching vegetables and boiled or steamed meals turned out to be decreased by about 52.3% and 47.5%, respectively, but the degrees were varied with the kind of foods as well as cooking methods. The ascorbic acid intakes from 18 most frequently consumed meals in Korea were determined to be about 1/2 of Food Composition Table according to this analysis data. The results showed the importance of accurate food database in assessing nutrient intake levels of population.

In this study, we studied the changes in antioxidant activity of Actinidia arguta fruit of Autumn Sense cultivar during fruit ripening. The aim of this investigation was to find the knowledge of the changes of physiochemicals associated with fruit quality, antioxidant properties (free-radical scavenging activity and reducing power), total phenolics and vitamin C during fruit ripening. The highest free-radical scavenging activity (at $100{\mu}g/ml$) and reducing power (at $100{\mu}g/ml$) in A. arguta fruit were 78.57% and 0.22, respectively. Total phenolic content and vitamin C content in fruit of 10 days after fruit set were $639.48{\mu}g/g$ and $1052.2{\mu}g/g$, respectively. In general, the antioxidant activity and the related parameters, including total phenolic content and vitamin C content decreased during fruit ripening. These results improve knowledge of the effect of ripening on the antioxidant activity and related compounds contents that could help to establish the optimum A. arguta fruit harvest data for various usages.

Intermediate moisture-apple snail products were prepared by adding glycerol, sorbitol, kiwi, or pineapple(2% or 5% w/w), as tenderizers, and by drying at $4^{\circ}C$ for 24 hr. The effects of the tenderizers on textural and sensory properties of the apple snail products at intermediate moisture levels were investigated. Moisture content and water activity of the products were ranged from 26.25 to 34.48% and from 0.83 to 0.87, respectively. The addition of glycerol significantly lowered water activity of apple snail samples compared to control prepared without tenderizers. On the other hand, significant increases in moisture content and water activity were observed in apple snail samples treated with kiwi or pineapple(p<0.05). All apple snail samples treated with tenderizers showed a lower shear force than did the control. Apple snail samples treated with 5%(v/v) glycerol showed a higher equilibrium moisture content than did the other samples. SDS-PAGE indicated that proteolytic enzymes in kiwi and pineapple clearly changed the structure of the myosin heavy chain and actin filaments of myofibrillar protein in apple snail samples. Intermediate moisture apple snail samples treated with tenderizers showed significantly improved overall sensory characteristics. The highest overall acceptability was obtained from apple snail samples treated with 5% pineapple, while the lowest overall acceptability was noted in the control sample. This study demonstrates that an acceptable apple snail, with intermediate moisture content, may be produced by using tenderizers at appropriate concentrations.

Biological effect of aqueous extracts of 12 plants which showed superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity in vitro was evaluated using Drosophila melanogaster. Survival percentage of the flies was a criterion of effect when the flies were exported to paraquat, which generated superoxide anion radical in vivo. When flies were co-administered with paraquat and aqueous extracts of garlic, lettuce, kiwi, and nameko, they showed no defensive effect against of oxygen toxicity. If flies were exposed to 60 mM paraquat after adaptation to feed containing plant extracts with SOD-like activity for 10 days, however, survival percentage of flies fed with phytochemicals was $35{\sim}63%$ while that percentage of flies fed without phytochemical was only 11%. This result indicated that adaptation of flies to plant extracts with SOD-like activity could prevent the flies from oxidative injury. On the other hand, lettuce, kiwi, nameko, onion, persimmon, fern brake and cauliflower showed a reparative effect on an oxidative stress. Dropwort, shiitake, agaric mushroom and broccoli did not show such an effect.

The changes in DNA damage were investigated during storage after irradiation. Kiwi, orange and pear were irradiated at 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 and 1.0 kGy and stored for 3 months at 4$^{\circ}C$. The comet assay was applied to the sample seeds alt the beginning of irradiation and at the end of storage. Seeds were isolated and crushed, and the suspended cells were embedded in an agarose layer. After lysis of the cells, they were electrophoresed for 2 min and then stained. DNA fragmentation in seeds caused by irradiation was quantified as tail length and tail moment (tail length $\times$ % DNA in tail) by comet image analyzing system. Immediately after irradiation, the differences in tail length between unirradiated and irradiated fruit seeds were significant (p<0.05) in kiwi, orange and pear seeds. With in-creasing the irradiation doses, statistically significant longer extension of the DNA from the nucleus toward anode was observed. The results represented as tail moment showed similar tendency to those of tail length, but tile latter parameter was more sensitive than the former. Similarly even 3 months after irradiation, all the irradiated fruit seeds significantly showed longer tail length than the unirradiated controls. These results indicate that the comet assay could be one of the simple methods of detecting irradiated fruit seeds. Moreover, the method could detect DNA damage even after 3 months after irradiation.

In this study, we investigated the effects of pH, temperature, and salt concentration on protease activities in Hypsizygus marmoreus, and the ability of H. marmoreus extract to tenderize beef. In fact, H. marmoreus was shown to have higher protease activity than kiwi fruits. The pH of beef was dose dependently increased with addition of H. marmoreus extract. Cooking loss, cutting strength, and color value (L, a, b) were also dose dependently decreased with addition of H. marmoreus extract. In sensory assessments, H. marmoreus extract dose dependently enhanced perception of tenderness, flavor, and taste. In contrary, use of kiwi fruits as a meat tenderizer decreased positive perception of taste. The protease activitiy of H. marmoreus decreased sharply at pH < 2.0, and temperature > 50 ℃. Protease activity was relatively stable in NaCl concentrations ranging from 0-5 M, but incrementally decreased with increasing NaCl. These results suggest that, H. marmoreus extract can improve the texture and taste of beef.

Loperamide-induced constipation reduced gastric emptying, small-intestinal and colonic motility, and these effects were prevented by Actindia chinensis(Gold Kiwi Fruit, GKF). In this study, the effects of Actindia chinensis on constipated male Sprague-Dawley rats induced by loperamide(2 mg/kg, s.c.,5 days) were investigated. Rats were randomly assigned to the normal control rats(regular diet), constipated rats(regular diet plus loperamide), constipated rats treated with 2.5% GKF(regular diet supplemented with 2.5% GKF plus loperamide), constipated rats treated with 5% GKF (regular diet supplemented with 5% GKF plus loperamide). There was less fecal excretion and lower fecal water content in loperamide-treated rats than in control rats. Oral administration of GKF blocked the decrease of fecal excretion and fecal water content in the loperamide-treated rats. Mucus production of crypt cell and mucus contents at fecal and mucosa surface were reduced by loperamide-treated rat. But colonic crypt cell contained increased mucin in the GKF treated group and mucus layer stained with alcian blue was significantly thicker in GKF treated rats compared with in loperamide-treated rats. In isolated rat ileum, loperamide produced inhibition of ileal motility. Pretreatment with methanolic extracts of GKF in isolated rat ileum prevented inhibition by loperamide. These findings indicated that the GKF was effective for alleviation of inhibition of colonic peristalsis by loperamide and that GKF might be of value in the prevention of constipation.
