물의 흐름을 제어하는 토양의 기능을 정량적으로 계산하기 위한 방법인 토양수분 메모리(soil moisture memory)는 토양에 도달한 강수가 저장되고 배출되기까지 평균적으로 체류하는 시간을 평가한다. 본 연구에서는 2019, 2020년 한반도 지역에서 강수와 토양수분 위성 기반 모델 산출물을 활용하여 표층(0~5 cm)토양에서의 토양수분 메모리를 산출하고 이를 활용하여 연구지역 내 토양수분 메모리의 시공간적인 분포를 지표면의 경사 및 토양의 특성과 함께 평가하였다. 토양수분 메모리를 특성분석을 위해 강수 사건에 따라 토양수분의 증가를 추적하여 저장 강수율(F_p(f))이라는 새로운 측정 지표를 활용하였다. 강수 발생 초기(3시간 후)에는 산맥을 기준으로 토양 내 저장 강수율이 우선적으로 감소하여 토양수분 메모리의 공간적인 편차가 컸으며 24시간 이후 전반적으로 편차가 감소하였다. 토양 내 저장 강수율은 경사가 증가할수록 감소하는 형태가 뚜렷하게 나타났으며 토양 입자 크기의 구성 비율에 따른 토양 내 수분의 배수 활동에 의한 영향을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 수리전도도 증감에 기여하는 평균토양수분이 저장 강수율에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. 본 연구 결과는 강수가 지면에 체류하는 시간에 대한 척도인 토양수분 메모리가 지표의 경사와 토양 특성과 갖는 관계를 규명하고 토양수분의 시공간적 변동성을 이해하는 데 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

This study was conducted to examine the effects of eggshell membrane hydrolysates (ESMH) on the anti-inflammatory, anti-wrinkle, anti-microbial activity, and moisture-protection for cosmetic use. Whole ESMH (before fractionation), and fraction I (>10 kDa), fraction II (3-10 kDa), and fraction III (<3 kDa) of the hydrolysates were assessed in this experiment. As lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and IFN-${\gamma}$ caused the inflammation on Raw264.7 cell, whole ESMH and fraction I showed to be effective in inhibiting the induction of cell inflammation depending on the concentration, and also showed outstanding effect to suppress the skin inflammation. Fraction I inhibited collagenase and elastase activities to a greater extent than the other fractions, while all fractions had antibiotic effects at concentrations of 10 mg/disc and 20 mg/disc. In addition, it showed the moisture protection effects of skin on the holding amount and losing amount of moisture in upper-inner arm of the human body with a relatively low loss rate in skin, which confirmed that the hydrolyzed fractions of ESM helps to form the superior protective layer of moisture. It was concluded that ESMH fractions with different molecular weights, especially the 10 kDa fraction, have anti-lipopolysaccharide, anti-IFN-${\gamma}$-induced inflammation, anti-collagenase and elastase activities, and thus can be used as a cosmetic agent to protect skin.

The effect of various moisture contents of fresh forage on the change in nitrogen (N) fractions, in vitro ruminal N degradability, and the subsequent N utilization of silage in sheep were evaluated. Orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) with high (HM, 76%), medium (MM, 65%) and low (LM, 40%) moisture contents were ensiled into silos of 120 L capacity for 120 days. A nitrogen balance trial was conducted using a 4${\times}$4 Latin square design consisting of four dietary treatments (i.e. fresh forage, HM, MM and LM silages) and four wethers. With respect to N fractions, fraction 1 (buffer solution soluble N), fraction 2 (buffer solution insoluble N-neutral detergent insoluble N), fraction 3 (neutral detergent insoluble N-acid detergent insoluble N), and fraction 4 (acid detergent insoluble N) were determined. The proportion of fraction 1 in silages tended to decrease, while the in vitro ruminal degradability of insoluble N increased (p<0.05) with lower moisture contents at ensiling. Consequently, nitrogen utilization in sheep tended to improve as the moisture content of ensiled grass was decreased, with a negative correlation (p<0.01) between urinary N and the in vitro ruminal degradability of insoluble N. The averaged N retentions for HM, MM, and LM silage treatments were 59, 73 and 79% of that for fresh forage, respectively.

화석연료의 사용량이 증가함에 따라 전 세계적으로 환경오염문제에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 이에 대한 해결책으로 신재생에너지에 대한 관심이 집중되고 있는 가운데 목질계 바이오매스의 연료화가 그 해결책의 하나로 떠오르고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 목질계 바이오매스의 에너지 효율에 큰 영향을 미치는 수분증발 모델을 제시하고 반탄화 온도, 나무의 수분율, 그리고 바이오매스 종류에 따른 특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 반탄화 온도가 상승함에 따라 나무의 온도와 수분율은 빠르게 감소하였다. 그리고 반탄화 온도가 423K 이하인 경우에는 나무 수분율의 변화가 거의 나타나지 않았다. 또한 나무의 초기 수분율이 높을수록 숯(charcoal)이 더 느리게 생성될 뿐만 아니라, 아몬드쉘(almond shell)의 경우 가장 많은 숯이 생성되는 것을 확인하였다.

This study was conducted to examine the effect of egg shell membrane hydrolysates (ESMH) on wrinkle, UV, and moisture protection for cosmetic use. ESMH were fragmented as whole ESMH (before fractioning), Fraction I (> 10 kDa), Fraction II (3-10 kDa), and Fraction III (< 3 kDa). In order to test whether fractionated ESMH can be used for functional cosmetic materials, we examined not only the level of hyaluronic acid and collagen production, but also the MMP-1 activity using a HaCaT and CCD-986Sk cell line. Our study treated each sample of fractionated ESMH with different concentrations (0.01, 0.1, 1 mg/mL). In our in vivo research, we used hairless mice that had been exposed to UV-B to induce wrinkles for 7 wk, then applied Fraction I to the treatment group for 5 wk and then tested skin thickness, minimum erythema dose and moisture content. In addition, Fraction I was high in collagen and HA biosynthesis and it was better than TGF-${\beta}$ in improving of the skin. When TNF-${\alpha}$ caused MMP-1 activity in the CCD-986Sk cells, the whole ESMH and Fraction I proved to be effective in hindering the induction of collagenase depending on the concentration, and also showed outstanding effects in the suppression of skin aging. We found that the treatment group mice's UV-B radiation-induced skin damage was largely mitigated compared to that of the non-treatment group mice. Thus, we have concluded that EMSH helps to mitigate UV-B radiation-induced wrinkles, collagen, HA, MMP-1 activity and can be used for functional cosmetic materials.

The influence of hygrothermal effects on the vibration frequency and buckling load of a shear deformable composite plate with arbitrary initial stresses was investigated. The governing equations of the effects of humid, thermal and initial stresses are established using the variational method. The material properties of the composite plate are affected by both temperature and moisture. The initial stress is taken to be a combination of uniaxial load and pure bending in a hygrothermal environment. The influence of various parameters, such as the fiber volume fraction, temperature, moisture concentration, length/thickness ratios, initial stresses and bending stress ratio on the vibration and stability of the response of a laminated plate are studied in detail. The behavior of vibration and stability are sensitive to temperature, moisture concentration, fiber volume fraction and initial stresses.

Measurement methods of moisture content were compared with 7 dried vegetables (red pepper, onion, green onion, garlic, ginger, carrot and radish). The moisture contents of dried vegetables having different moisture contents were determined by atmospheric oven drying, infrared balance, vacuum oven and Karl Fisher methods. Vacuum oven and Karl Fisher methods gave the relatively agreed results and considered to give the accurate moisture content. Atmospheric oven drying and infrared balance methods resulted in higher moisture content than methods mentioned above, because of the thermal decomposition of solid. Calibration of the moisture data of atmospheric oven drying method into the vacuum oven data was undertaken. The thermodecomposable solid fraction was high in onion, radish, green onion and carrot, and was in the range of 8.0-11.7% of the total solid in these products.

PVA films with 1,2,3,4-Butanetetracarboxylic acid(BTCA) and sodium hypophosphite monohydrate(SHM) were crosslinked via thermal curing. Different parameters affecting on the crosslinking were investigated including BTCA and SHM concentration, curing temperature and time. The cured films was extracted with boiling water and gel fraction was calculated from weight change of the PVA films. Moisture regain of the gelled films was also measured. While the gel fraction of PVA films increased with increasing curing temperature and time, moisture regain decreased. Water resistance of the crosslinked PVA films improved by the BTCA crosslinking treatment.

The cemented sand and gravel (CSG) method is a construction technique that adds cement and water to rock-like materials, such as rivered gravel or excavation muck which can be obtained easily at areas adjacent to dam sites. This study was performed to evaluate the compaction and compressive strength properties of stress-strain, elastic modulus and fracture mode CSG materials reinforced polypropylene fiber. Polypropylene fiber widely used for concrete reinforcement is randomly distributed into cemented sand. The two types of polypropylene fiber (monofillament and fibrillated fiber) were used and fiber fraction ratio was 0, 0.2 %, 0.4 %, 0.6 % and 0.8 % by the weight of total dry soil. The effect of fiber fraction ratio and fiber shape on compaction and compressive strength were investigated. The optimum moisture contents (OMC) of CSG material increased as fiber fraction increased and the dry density of CSG material decreased as fiber fraction. Also, the maximum increase in compressive strength was obtained at 0.4 % content of monofillament and fibrillated fiber. CSG material behaviour was controlled not only by fiber fraction but also fiber distribution, fiber shape and fiber type.

For defining the possibilities of the commercial mass liquid culture of Cordyceps sinensis, the pharmacological activities of mycelia were analyzed. The mycelium of C. sinensis consists of carbohydrate (5.1%) and fat (1.3%), and contains a low content of protein (0.7%) and ash (0.5%), and 92.4% moisture. The molecular sugar ratio of carbohydrate was composed mainly of glucose, mannose (1.0 : 0.9), in addition a small amount of galactose and arabinose (0.2 : 0.1). The cellular materials of mycelia were fractionated into ethylacetate (EA), MeOH (M) and hot-water extract fraction (HW). HW fraction showed the most potent intestinal immune system modulating activity, anti-coagulant activity, and anti-complementary activity, and M fraction had the inhibition activity of radical generation as effective as genistine. These results reveal that the mycelium of liquid cultured C. sinensis showed pharmacological activities and could be used for commercial purpose.
