In order to study the quality of uncooked-colored wine by using polished black rice(PBR) and glucoamylase, the mixture ration of PBR ws investigated. The growths of yeast and lactic acid bacteria, pH and alcohol concentration of the colored wine prepared by adding PBR in the range of 20 to 100% were higher than those of polished rice only, whereas the contents of residual sugars, total free amino acids and fusel oil of the colored wine were lower. The colored wine prepared by 20% PBR and that of over 80% PBR showed a light red color and a dark red, respectively. The optimal addition ratios of PBR evaluated by palatability of color and flavor, and sensory overall quality was 40 to 60%.

Fragmentation in human pre-implantation embryos has been suggested as the process of apoptosis. We have previously demonstrated a direct relationship between the increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) and apoptosis in human pre-implantation embryos. ROS is known to suppress the function of mitochondria in which steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) and peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor (PBR) are presented. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the expression of StAR and PBR in human pre-implantation embryos and to evaluate whether reduction of these proteins is associated with apoptosis. Apoptosis was detected by annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and mitochondrial membrane potential was measured by 5,5',6,6'-tetrachloro-1,1',3,3'-tetraethyl-benzimidazolyl-carbocyanine iodide (JC-1). Immunofluorescence staining and Western blotting were applied to examine the expression of StAR and PBR in the embryos. Lipid droplets in the embryos were stained with Oil Red O. The fragmented pre-implantation embryos were stained with annexin V-FITC, but not the normal ones. The mitochondria with active membrane potential were present less in the fragmented embryos compared with the non-fragmented embryos. We also confirmed that both StAR and PBR were expressed in the embryos and their expression levels were lower in the fragmented ones. In addition, the number and size of lipid droplets were increased in the fragmented embryos. The present study provides evidence that reduction of StAR and PBR in human pre-implantation embryos is associated with an increase in the lipid droplets leading to apoptosis.

Emission of methyl bromide (MeBr) from soil was implicated in stratospheric ozone depletion. To determine multi analysis of alternatives fumigants for MeBr, this paper describes the methods of analysis in water and soil. The MeBr, methyl iodide (Mel), propargyl bromide (PBr), cis 1,3-dichloropropene (cis 1,3-D), trans 1,3-dichloropropene (trans 1,3-D) and chloropicrin(CP) are separated on the base line on GC-ECD at three column of AT+DB+DB (90m) with temperature programing of $35^{\circ}C{\rightarrow}110^{\circ}C$ on GC-ECD. The relative retention time for MeBr, Mel, PBr, cis 1,3-D, trans 1,3-D and CP is 1.0, 1.4, 2.3, 3.2, 3.6 and 3.7, respertively. The detection limit for MeBr, Mel, PBr, cis 1,3-D, trans 1,3-D and CP is 469 pg, 5 pg, 21 pg, 79 pg, 101 PE and 5pg, respectively. Recovery of MeBr Mel, PBr, cis 1,3-D, trans 1,3-D and CP in water added 150 ppm fumigants were 81%, 96%, 95%, 97%, 98% and 99%, respectively. Recovery of MeBr, MeI, PBr, cis 1, 3-D, trans 1,3-D and CP in soil added 150ppm fumigants were 56%, 84%), 85%, 81%, 87% and 88%, respectively.

A packed bed reactor (PBR) was fed with nitrate containing synthetic wastewater or effluent from a sequencing batch reactor used for nitrification. The C source introduced into the PBR consisted of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) produced from anaerobic acidogenesis of food wastes. When nitrate loading rates ranged from $0.50\;to\;1.01\;kg\;N/m^{3}{\cdot}d$, the PBR exhibited $100{\sim}98.8%\;NO_{3}^{-}-N$ removal efficiencies and nitrite concentrations in the effluent ranged from $0\;to\;0.6\;NO_{2}^{-}-N\;mg/L$. When the PBR was further investigated to determine nitrate removal activity along the bed height using a nitrate loading rate less than $1.01\;kg\;N/m^{3}{\cdot}d$, 100% nitrate removal efficiency was observed. Approximately 83.2% nitrate removal efficiency was observed in the lower 50% of the packed-bed height. When reactor performance at a C/N ratio of 4 and a C/N ratio of 5 was compared, the PBR showed better removal efficiency (96.5%) of nitrate and less nitrite concentration in the effluent at the C/N ratio of 5. VFAs were found to be a good alternative to methanol as a carbon source for denitrification of a municipal wastewater containing 40 mg-N/L.

Solution-processed oxide thin-film transistors (TFTs) have garnered great attention, owing to their many advantages, such as low-cost, large area available for fabrication, mechanical flexibility, and optical transparency. Negative bias stress (NBS)-induced instability of sol-gel IGZO TFTs is one of the biggest concerns arising in practical applications. Thus, understanding the bias stress effect on the electrical properties of sol-gel IGZO TFTs and proposing an effective recovery method for negative bias stressed TFTs is required. In this study, we investigated the variation of transfer characteristics and the corresponding electrical parameters of sol-gel IGZO TFTs caused by NBS and positive bias recovery (PBR). Furthermore, we proposed an effective PBR method for the recovery of negative bias stressed sol-gel IGZO TFTs. The threshold voltage and field-effect mobility were affected by NBS and PBR, while current on/off ratio and sub-threshold swing were not significantly affected. The transfer characteristic of negative bias stressed IGZO TFTs increased in the positive direction after applying PBR with a negative drain voltage, compared to PBR with a positive drain voltage or a drain voltage of 0 V. These results are expected to contribute to the reduction of recovery time of negative bias stressed sol-gel IGZO TFTs.

In this study, microstructure and gel content (C-C) of polybutadiene rubber (PBR) were investigated using various techniques including ASTM D 3616, attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (ATR FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). The ATR FTIR spectra of the samples were investigated to determine the cis, trans, 1, 2-vinyl and the C-C gel content in PBR. The absorbance ratios of specific peaks in different grades of PBR were correlated with the C-C gel content measured by the ATR FTIR techniques. Physico-mechanical and rheological properties of rubber compounds based on BR with various amounts of gel were determined. The results showed that there is an acceptable correlation between these properties and the C-C gel content of PBR.

본 연구는 절대가치 추정방법인 EVA모형과 FCFF모형, 그리고 상대가치 추정방법인 PER모형, PBR모형 및 PSR모형의 한국기업에의 적합성을 검증하는 것을 목표로 하고 있다. 분석대상기간은 1992년$\sim$1996년까지 5년 간으로 하였으며 수익률 자료를 획득할 수 있고 괴리율을 계산할 수 있는 207개 기업을 전체 표본기업으로 선정하였다. 절대가치평가모형에 의한 집단간 차이분석에서는 EVA모형과 FCFF모형 모두 집단간에 유의적인 차이를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 상대가치평가모형에 의한 집단간 차이분석에서는 PBR모형과 PSR모형은 분석기간 동안 집단간에 유의적인 차이를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. PER모형의 경우에는 재무제표 공시일 이전에 이미 반영되고 공시일 이후에는 차이를 보이지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 회귀분석 결과 주식수익률은 산업평균수익률인 Rc와 FCFF모형에 의한 괴리율과 강한 유의적인 관계를 갖고 PBR모형에 의한 괴리율과는 약한 유의적인 관계를 갖는 다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이상의 연구결과는 절대가치 추정방법인 FCFF모형과 상대가치 추정방법인 PBR모형에 의한 기업평가모형이 제한적이지만 한국주식시장에서 어느 정도 적합성을 가질 수 있다(재무제표 공시일 기준)는 가능성을 보여주고 있다.

This thesis investigates relationship between Stock-to-Flow price and housing starts in Seoul metropolitan form 2008 year to 2019 year. The paper tests the relationship through two time-series models such as a vector error correction model and Dynamic Panel regression model. The model results show evidence of positive correlation between Stock-to-Flow price and housing starts in the long run. By transforming the regional data into a panel data set and running a fixed effects model, we test the explanatory power of PBR on housing starts. The result of VECM confirms that one unit uprising PBR raises up apartment construction by 7.4%. This result supports that PBR is a major factor in choosing a start of housing construct. Base on the result of empirical model, We also suggest that the market self-regulation function of housing providers is operating in the entire metropolitan area market.

The objective of this study was to map gene/QTL for photoblastism in a weedy rice (photoblastic rice: PBR) using DNA markers. Light-induced effect on germination of seeds was compared among three accessions (Oryza sativa L.), PBR, Milyang 23 and Ilpum. Results showed that PBR seeds started to show photoblastism during seed development, different from Ilpum and Milyang 23. Frequency distribution of germination in the F4 lines from crosses between Ilpum and PBR and, Milyang 23 and PBR revealed bimodal distributions suggesting that photoblastism was controlled by a few genes. Bulked segregant analysis using $F_4$ populations derived from the above two crosses was conducted to identify gene/QTL for photoblastism. Two QTL were identified on chromosomes 1 and 12 explaining 11.2 and 12.8% of the phenotypic variance, respectively. Two QTL were further mapped between two SSR markers, RM8260 and RM246 on chromosome 1, and between RM270 and 1103 on chromosome 12. It is noteworthy that two QTL for photoblastism were colocalized with the QTL for seed dormancy reported in the previous QTL studies. The clustering of two genes for photoblastism and dormancy possibly indicates that these regions constitute rice phytochrome gene clusters related to germination. Because PBR has a low degree of dormancy, a pleiotropic effect of a single gene controlling dormancy and photoblastism can be ruled out. The linked markers will provide the foundation for positional cloning of the gene.
