  • The foremost problem in the agricultural industry in Ukraine is the issue of improving its energy resources efficiency. The existence of this problem is related to the substantial technological inferiority of the industry to those present in the developed countries, especially in terms of creation of no-waste production technologies of agricultural products. The direct effect on the solving of this issue has the necessity to ensure minimal energy costs during treatment of plant objects. This article presents the research results on the effect of electromagnetic energy on activation of plants development. It was found that each such object has its own individual energy resource and that forceful increase of the latter has specific maximum values and gives rise to the plant development process. At the same time, the implementation of the research results is hindered by some factors, among the most major of which are the following: lack of reliable and complete data on the bioenergy resources of plants, its "natural" chart; unavailability of research on the energy sources interaction processes and its effect on the physiological potential of biological objects, at least at the level of low series, absence of the appropriate electrotechnical equipment, including electromagnetic energy sources.

  • Antioxidant films are one active packaging technology that can extend food shelf-life through preventing lipid oxidation, stabilizing color, maintaining sensory properties and delaying microbial growth in foods. Because raw, fresh and minimal processed foods are more perishable during storage or under display conditions than further processed foods, they rapidly lose their original quality. Foods are susceptible to physical, chemical, and biochemical hazards to which packaging films can be effective barriers. Although films incorporated natural (tocopherols, flavonoids and phenolic acids) or synthetic antioxidants (BHT, BHA, TBHQ, propyl gallate) have been extensively tested to improve quality and safety of various foods, food applications require addressing issues such as physical properties, chemical action, cost, and legal approval. Increased interest in natural antioxidants as substitutes for synthetic antioxidants has triggered research on use of the new natural antioxidants in films and coatings. Use of new components (phytochemicals) as film additives can improve food quality and human health. The biosynthesis of plant phenolics can potentially be optimized by active coatings on harvested fruits and vegetables. These coatings can trigger the plants natural proline-linked pentose phosphate pathway to increase the phenolic contents and maintain overall plant tissue quality. This alternate metabolic pathway has been proposed by Dr. K. Shetty and is supported by numerous studies. A new generation of active food films will not only preserve the food, but increase food's nutritional quality by optimizing raw food biochemical production of phytochemicals.

  • The consumption of meat has been increasing, leading to a dynamic meat and meat processing industry. To maintain the quality and safety of meat products, various technologies have been explored, including intense pulsed light (IPL) technology. Several factors affect the inactivation of microorganisms by IPL treatment, including light intensity (fluence), treatment duration, pulse frequency, and the distance between the lamp and the samples. Meat products have been studied for IPL treatment, resulting in microbial reductions of approximately 0.4-2.4 Log. There are also impacts on color, sensory attributes, and physico-chemical quality, depending on treatment conditions. Processed meat products like sausages and ham have shown microbial reductions of around 0.1-4 Log with IPL treatment. IPL treatment has minimal impact on color and lipid oxidation in these products. Egg products and dairy items can also benefit from IPL treatment, achieving microbial reductions of around 1-7.8 Log. The effect on product quality varies depending on the treatment conditions. IPL technology has shown promise in enhancing the safety and quality of various food products, including meat, processed meat, egg products, and dairy items. However, the research results on animal-based food are not diverse and fragmentary, this study discusses the future research direction and industrial application through a review of these researches.

  • Endophthalmitis is a disease that causes ocular inflammation and has a catastrophic effect on eyesight. Recent studies show that Enterococcus faecalis is rapidly increasing causative bacterium of endophthalmitis. It is predicted that the increased endophthalmitis by E. faecalis is presumable due to the high resistance of E. faecalis to moxifloxacin (MFX), which is a common antibiotic used for eye drop. Because of the need for therapeutic agents to overcome this problem, this study sought to explore the feasibility of developing a combination therapy using Orostachys japonicus. The ethylacetate fraction of O. japonicus (OJA) used in this study. Antimicrobial activity was tested 13 E. faecalis strains including one E. faecalis standard strain, eight clinically isolated E. faecalis strains and four quinolone resistant E. faecalis strains using CLSI antibiotic susceptibility test method. Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of OJA was confirmed to be $500{\mu}g/ml$ for all 13 strains. Then we tested for the synergistic effect of OJA to MFX using checkboard test method. The MIC of MFX was $0.25{\mu}g/ml$ for the standard strain and 8 for the clinical isolates, and $16{\sim}64{\mu}g/ml$ for the quinolone - resistant strains. When OJA was mixed with MFX, no synergistic effect was observed in all strains, but the antibacterial activity of OJA remained unchanged. Most ocular other strains can be removed by MFX except the MFX resistant E. faecalis, which can be removed by OJA in combination therapy. Therefore, OJA can be a potential candidate for the combined treatment endophthalmitis.

  • 난용성 인산염을 가용화 시킬 수 있는 경제적이고 효율적인 생물비료를 개발하기 위하여 난용성 인산염 가용화능이 우수한 미생물을 염류 집적 및 인산과다처리 재배지로부터 분리하였다. 이 분리균주의 생리 생화학적인 특성을 조사한 결과 Aeromonas hydrophila DA57로 동정되었다. Aeromonas hydrophila DA57은 hydroxyapatite, tri-calcium phosphate 와 같은 난용성 인산염을 모두 가용화한다. 난용성 인산염의 분해능이 최대가 되는 배양 온도와 배양초기 pH는 각각 $30^{\circ}C$와 5.0이었으며, 탄소원으로 glucose를 3% 첨가시 가용화능이 높았다. 배양 pH가 감소함에 따라 가용화된 유리인산의 함량이 증가하였고 gluconic acid의 생성이 확인되었다. 따라서 난용성 인산염의 분해가 우수한 새로운 Aeromonas hydrophila DA57를 분리하였고, 이는 하나의 생물비료원으로 활용이 가능하리라고 사료된다.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 bar 유전자를 발현한 형질전환벼에 대한 글루타민 합성효소 저해제인 glufosinate-ammonium, L-metionine sulfoximine과 광합성저해제인 paraquat에 저항성 수준과 형질전환벼와 비형질전환벼의 암모늄 축적량, 저온반응 및 수량을 비교하는데 있다. 형질전환벼 계통은 비형질전환벼에 비해 glufosinate-ammonium에 45~95배 높은 저항성을 보였다. 한편 형질전환벼 계통은 L-metionine sulfoximine을 처리했을 때도 형질전환벼 계통이 비형질전환벼에 비해 18배 이상의 저항성을 보여 교차저항성이 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나 glufosinate-ammonium과 작용기작이 다른 제초제인 paraquat에 대한 다중저항성은 없었다. Glufosinate-ammonium 처리에 의해 ammonium 축적은 비형질전환벼에서 증가하였으나 모든 형질전환벼의 계통에서는 적거나 효과가 없었다. 형질전환벼 계통 258, 411, 607 및 608을 제외한 계통은 비형질전환벼에 비해 저온 내성 및 저온 후 회복정도가 유의적으로 낮은 경향을 보였다. 형질전환벼 계통 142, 144, 258 및 608의 수량은 비형질전환벼와 유사하거나 높았다.

  • A windows-based software package, named DREDGE, is developed for estimating sediment resuspension and contaminant release during dredging operations. DREDGE allows user to enter the necessary dredge information, site characteristics, operational data, and contaminant characteristics, then calculates an array of concentration using the given values. The program mainly consists of the near-field models, which are obtained empirically, for estimating sediment resuspension and the far-field models, which are obtained analytically, for suspended sediment transport. A linear equilibrium partitioning approach is applied to estimate particulate and dissolved contaminant concentrations. This software package which requires only a minimal amount of data consists of three components; user input, tabular output, and graphical output. Combining the near-field and far-field models into a user-friendly windows-based computer program can greatly save dredge operator's, planners', and regulators' efforts for estimating sediment transports and contaminant distribution.
