Food consumption trends in Korea are becoming more health-oriented, and consumers have become interested in high-quality foods that are also beneficial to health. The goals of this study are to examine consumers' impressions of black garlic and to investigate the preferred optimal attribute combinations related to black garlic. To do this, a survey of 352 consumers was used to analyze the current status of consumer purchases of black garlic. A conjoint analysis was conducted to analyze certain aspects of consumer preferences, such as price, health functional food certification status, processing type, and taste. Consumers' purchase experiences with black garlic were relatively few, but those with purchase experience reported that they consumed it mainly for their health. The results show that consumers are not satisfied with the taste and flavor of black garlic despite their perceiving it as a beneficial food for health. Despite the fact that consumers' purchase intentions were found to be low, it can greatly increase if improvements in price, flavor, and taste can be realized and if offering substantial benefits. The results of the conjoint analysis of the preference attributes of black garlic products are as follows. Consumers considered price among the four attributes as most important. The taste of black garlic and the processing style were similar in terms of importance, and health functional food certification was less important. Finally, the results suggest that continuous improvements in price and flavor are needed to spread the consumption of black garlic.

In this paper, we propose a black ice detection system using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). Black ice poses a serious threat to road safety, particularly during winter conditions. To overcome this problem, we introduce a CNN-based architecture for real-time black ice detection with an encoder-decoder network, specifically designed for real-time black ice detection using thermal images. To train the network, we establish a specialized experimental platform to capture thermal images of various black ice formations on diverse road surfaces, including cement and asphalt. This enables us to curate a comprehensive dataset of thermal road black ice images for a training and evaluation purpose. Additionally, in order to enhance the accuracy of black ice detection, we propose a multi-scale dilation convolution feature fusion (MsDC-FF) technique. This proposed technique dynamically adjusts the dilation ratios based on the input image's resolution, improving the network's ability to capture fine-grained details. Experimental results demonstrate the superior performance of our proposed network model compared to conventional image segmentation models. Our model achieved an mIoU of 95.93%, while LinkNet achieved an mIoU of 95.39%. Therefore, it is concluded that the proposed model in this paper could offer a promising solution for real-time black ice detection, thereby enhancing road safety during winter conditions.

Ru black을 고분자 전해질 연료전지용 cathode 촉매로 사용했을 때 초기에는 연료전지 성능이 낮게 나타났으나, 일련의 실험을 거치는 동안 연료전지 성능이 점차 증가되는 것이 관찰되었다. 이는 Ru black의 전기화학적 환원으로 인한 것으로 판단되는대, Ru black 촉매에 외부에서 가해지는 전압과 그 전압을 가하는 시간을 변화시켜 본 결과 0.1V를 30분 이상 가하게 되면 Ru black의 성능 향상이 극대화 되었다. 성능 향상 원인을 확인해 보기 위해 수소 분위기 하에서 환원된 Ru black과 XRD patterns을 비교한 결과, Ru black 촉매가 전기화학적 환원처리를 통해 완전히 metallic Ru으로 전환되었다고 판단하기는 어려웠다. 또한 Ru black을 이용해 전기화학적 환원 처리 전후의 CO stripping voltammetry를 비교해 본 결과, Ru black 중에 일부는 metallic Ru으로 환원되었지만, 일부의 Ru이 반대편 전극으로 제거됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 이 과정 중에 제거된 Ru이 연료전지 성능에 나쁜 영향을 미칠 수 있을 것이라 생각된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서 제시된 Ru black의 전기화학적 처리 과정을 통해서 일부의 Ru은 반대쪽 전극으로 제거되고, 산화된 상태로 존재하는 일부의 Ru이 metallic Ru으로 변화됨으로서 연료전지 성능이 향상된 것으로 사료된다.

In the previous work we made a long term evolution code for the central black hole in an active galactic nucleus under the assumption that the Blandford-Znajek process is the source of the emission. Using our code we get the evolution of the angular velocity of the precession for a supermassive black hole. We consider a hole at the center of an axisymmetric, ellipsoidal galactic nucleus. Our numerical results show that, only for the cases such that the stellar density or the mass of the black hole is large enough, the precession of the black hole - presumably the precession of the galactic jet - is interestingly large.

In the earlier papers we analyzed the axisymmetric, nonstationary electrodynamics of the central black hole and a surrounding thin accretion disk in an active galactic nucleus. Based on those papers we analyze the axisymmetric, nonstationary force-free black hole magnetosphere and the motion of the plasma. We concentrate on deriving the totally new equations for the entropy incrrease and the angular momentum, energy extraction of the black hole.

This paper presents a study on the permittivities of the E-glass fabric/epoxy composite laminates containing carbon black dispersions at microwave frequency. Measurement showed that the complex permittivities of the composites depend strongly on the natures and concentrations of the carbon black dispersion. A new scheme to obtain a mixing law for the estimation of complex permittivity is proposed. The experimental values of the complex permittivities were compared to those calculated. Simultaneously, the complex permittivity of carbon black itself was also calculated by the scheme.

We suggest a possible scenario of an astrophysical black hole with non-vanishing electric charge and magnetic flux. The equilibrium charge on a rotating black hole in a force-free magnetosphere is calculated to be Q $\~$ BJ with a horizon flux of ${\~}BM^2$, which is not large enough to disturb the background Kerr geometry. Being similar to the electric charge of a magnetar, in sign and order of magnitude, both electric charge and magnetic flux are supposed to be continuous onto a black hole.

The changes in components and biological activities of doenjang samples prepared with black soybeans and fermented with Bacillus subtilis SCB were investigated. The amino nitrogen (A-N) contents of samples increased with increasing black soybean content. A doenjang product made using a 1:1 ratio of soybeans-black soybeans showed a maximum level of genistein and daidzein isoflavones ($1111.6{\mu}g/g$) at 110 days of fermentation, along with decreasing contents of genistin and daidzin due to the conversion to aglycones. The black soybean-only doenjang sample showed higher protease activity, including caseinolytic and fibrinolytic enzyme activities, than the other samples, and had relatively higher polyphenol content and DPPH radical scavenging activity. Therefore, doenjang made with additions of black soybeans and fermented by B. subtilis SCB may have improved physiological properties, suggesting this to be a valuable method of preparation.

There could be significant numbers of isolated stellar mass black holes in our Galaxy. The detection of these black holes will provide important clues on the origin of supermassive black holes. Interstellar gas will be accreted to these isolated black holes in nearly spherical flow. The gas and the interstellar magnetic field will be compressed and emit bremsstrahlung and magnetic bremsstrahlung. We calculate the density, temperature, magnetic field of the accretion flow onto a 10 solar mass black hole as well as its radiative emission; special attention is given to cyclotron radiation and synchrotron radiation, which covers from microwave to X-ray. We consider the possibility to detect these radiation from isolated Galactic black holes with current instruments and surveys.

We investigate the dynamical evolution of globular clusters under the diffusion, the Galactic tide, and the presence of halo black holes. We compare the results with our previous work which considers the diffusion processes and the Galactic tide. We find the followings: (1) The black holes contribute the expansion of the outer part of the cluster. (2) There is no evidence for dependence on the orbital phase of the cluster as in our previous work. (3) The models of linear and Gaussian velocity distribution for the halo black holes do not show any significant differences in all cases. (4) The perturbation of black holes reduces the number of stars in lower energy regions. (5) There is a significant number of stars with retrograde orbits beyond the cutoff radius especially in the case of diffusion and the perturbation of black holes.
