  • Lipids of Liza carinata roe were extracted and separated into detailed lipid classes by column chromatography. About 57-62% of the total lipids consisted of wax esters in which saturated and unsaturated fatty alcohols combined with fatty acids with up to six double bonds. Between the even-numbered wax ester peaks in gas-liquid chromatography, ones with odd chain lengths such as C31, C33 and C35 were eluted in appreciable amounts. Isomers composed of different fatty acids and alcohols at a given chain length were not resolved on 1.5% OV-17 column. The principal component of wax esters in sample A were C32, C34 and C30 (45.0%, 19.2%, and 12.2%), followed by C36 and C38 length (9.5% and 4.7%), while those in sample B were mainly occupied by C34, C32 and C36 length (36.3%, 31.4% and 14.5%) with minor components C30 and C38 length (5.2%, and 3.4%). The wax esters were not a random combination of constituent fatty acids and alcohols. With increase in boiling temperature the wax esters increased slightly in viscosity over the unboiled, showing a tendency toward randomness, and finally were completely randomized at $360^{\circ}C$ for 40 minutes. The enzymes involved in wax ester biosynthesis seemed to have high selectivity for chain length of fatty acids and alcohols.

  • Ginsenosides have been regarded as the principal components, responsible for the pharmacological and biological activities of ginseng. Absorption of major ginsenosides at the gastrointestinal tract was extremely low, when ginseng taken orally. In order to improve the absorption and bioavailability, transformation of major ginsenosides into more active and valuable minor ginsenoside is much required. In this present study, We isolated a lactic acid bacteria Leuconostoc fallax LH3 from the Korean fermented food Kimchi, which have higher ${\beta}$-glucosidase activity. Using the ethanol precipitated curd enzyme of Leuconostoc fallax LH3, we investigated the biotransformation of ginsenoside Rd at different experimental condition to increase transformation. The maximum convertion was supported at 30 $^{\circ}C$ and decreased when temperatures increased. In order to optimize the effect of pH, the curd enzyme was mixed 20 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 3.5 to pH 8.0). Ginsenoside Rd was almost hydrolyzed between pH 7.0 and pH 9.0, but not hydrolyzed above pH 10.0. Ginsenoside Rd was hydrolyzed after 24 hrs incubation, but whereas the ginsenoside F2 was appeared from 36 hrs, and all ginsenoside Rd was transformed to F2 after the 60 hrs incubation. Based on this study, the curd enzyme of Leuconostoc fallax LH3 transformed the ginsenoside Rd at the 30$^{\circ}C$ and the pH optimum of 7.0 to 9.0 after the 60 hrs incubation time.

  • The public housing needs maintenance administration for improvement and retainment of residential condition by means of tenants participation. However, most researchers have considered tenants as passive participants in this context. The previous studies did not comprehend perspective of tenants participation and just measured the management preference and the level of satisfaction on maintenance. This study investigates the attitudes and perceptions of tenants on participation in public housing maintenance by introduced Q method that provides a systematic and rigorous quantitative means for examining human subjectivity. The subjectivity is classified as types according to cost and benefit factors by principal components analysis and varimax rotation of the extracted factors. As a result, this study present 5 types of tenants participation and expect to discuss desirable roles of tenant and org anization in public housing maintenance.

  • This paper aims to clarify the types of cities by automobile traffic accidents and to search the characteristics of automobile traffic accidents for each type. Cities by automobile traffic accidents are classified into 4 types. Seoul city belongs to Type A in which 'automobile use and accident type' is closely related. Osan city belongs to Type B where the number of automobile traffic accidents is the greatest. And many satellite cities of Seoul city and metropolitan cities, and cities distributed in Southeastern industrial region belongs to Type C in which automobile accidents are fewer than the national average. Other 57 cities belongs to Type D which there are more automobile accidents than the national average. The cause of traffic accidents for each city type are as follows. In Seoul city the major causes of accidents are no security of safety distance, road patterns of other region, and injury of pedestrians. In Osan city, many single lane road accidents, central line invasion, and traffic accidents of children of under 14 years. And in satellite cities of Seoul city and metropolitan cities, and cities distributed in Southeastern industrial region, the major causes are traffic regulation violation, of under 6m in crossroad accidents, accident of children of under 14 years, and injury of pedestrians. Lastly, in other 57 cities chief causes are traffic regulation violation, wrong methods of passing crossroads, injury of children of under 14 and elderly of over 61 years, and injury of pedestrians.

  • The flavor constituents and functionality of small kingfish were studied as affected by two stage enzyme hydrolysis (TSEH). Total free amino acid contents in water extract, autolytic extract and TSEH of small kingfish were 541.3 mg%, 8,245.3 mg% and 6,636.6 mg%, respectively. Major free amino acids in TSEH were hydroxyproline, glutamic acid, proline, leucine, phenylalanine, lysine, arginine. As for nucleotides and other bases, IMP, TMAO and total creatinine were principal components in TSEH. And the major inorganic ions in TSEH were Na, K, P, Cl and $PO_{4}$. Also TSEH of small kingfish revealed very higher Angiotensin-I converting enzyme inhibition effect than those of water and autolytic extract.

  • Sea ice is generally accepted as an important factor to understand the process of earth climate changes and is the basis of earth system models for analysis and prediction of the climate changes. To continuously monitor sea ice changes at kilometer scale, it is demanded to create more accurate grid data from the current, limited sea ice data. In this paper we described a downscaling method for Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) Sea Ice Concentration (SIC) from 10 km to 1 km resolution using a weighting scheme of sea ice days ratio derived from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sea ice cover product that has a high correlation with the SIC. In a case study for Okhotsk Sea, the sea ice areas of both data (before and after downscaling) were identical, and the monthly means and standard deviations of SIC exhibited almost the same values. Also, Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) analyses showed that three kinds of SIC data (ERA-Interim, original AMSR2, and downscaled AMSR2) had very similar principal components for spatial and temporal variations. Our method can apply to downscaling of other continuous variables in the form of ratio such as percentage and can contribute to monitoring small-scale changes of sea ice by providing finer SIC data.

  • Over 5 million people participate in cycle racing betting and its revenue is more than 2 trillion won. This study predicts the ranking of cycle racing using various statistical analyses and identifies important variables which have influence on ranking. We propose competitive ranking prediction models using various classification and regression methods. Our model can predict rankings with low misclassification rates most of the time. We found that the ranking increases as the grade of a racer decreases and as overall scores increase. Inversely, we can observe that the ranking decreases when the grade of a racer increases, race number four is given, and the ranking of the last race of a racer decreases. We also found that prediction accuracy can be improved when we use centered data per race instead of raw data. However, the real profit from the future data was not high when we applied our prediction model because our model can predict only low-return events well.

  • The purpose of this study is to describe and compare the morphological characteristics of seeds of 12 taxa of Araliaceae, and to evaluate their possible use for taxonomic considerations. For light microscope observations and measurements, the seeds were observed using Image Analyzing System. The observations were made on twenty randomly selected seeds of each species. Obtained data were statistically processed using analysis of variance. Principal Components Analysis indicated four groups of characters, the genera Aralia, Eleutherococcus, Panax and the others, which explained 65.47% of the total variation. As a results of Cluster Analysis using the eleven variables, 12 species of Araliaceae were also discriminated into four groups. Eleutherococcus senticosus and E. gracilistylus were closely related, which is well supported by the results from recent molecular studies. Also, the genera Dendropanax and Eleutherococcus were closely related in terms of seed characters.

  • Solid phase microextraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SPME/GC-MS), electronic nose, and electronic tongue were used to characterize the sensory profiles of cider vinegars from Korea (K1-2), China (C1-2), Japan (J1-2), and US (U1-2). SPME-GC/MS detected acetic acid as the common volatile compound in all vinegars, in addition to isovaleric acid, octanoic acid, and phenethyl acetate. Acids and acetic esters were the major components of Korean and US vinegar samples, respectively. Chinese vinegars had high ethyl acetate content, while Japanese samples were characterized by a low content of acetic acid. Principal component analysis (PCA) pattern provided a clear categorical discrimination of Chinese vinegars by E-nose and E-tongue analyses. The instrumental sensory scores and the taste attributes for flavor ($r^2=0.9431$), sourness ($r^2=0.9515$), and sweetness ($r^2=0.8325$) were highly correlated. Therefore, SPME/GC-MS, E-nose, and E-tongue analyses may be useful tools to discriminate the sensory profiles of cider vinegars of different origins.

  • Sambucus pendula Nakai, which is an endemic on Ulleung Island of Korea, is characterized by a large pendulous inflorescence and small fruit. A set of 256 individuals were used to investigate the patterns of intraspecific variation of S. racemosa subsp. kamtchatica, S. racemosa subsp. sieboldiana, and S. williamsii including S. pendula using PCA (principal components analysis). This analysis showed that S. pendula was distinct based on its large inflorescence and long peduncle. Our data showed a morphological distinction between subsp. kamtchatica from northeastern areas and subsp. sieboldiana from Jeju Island, but the two taxa overlap in the southern and eastern parts of Korea in terms of chromosome number, color of style, and allozyme data. Our study agrees that S. pendula on Ulleung Island may be the result of genetic drift that occurred during isolation since the Quarternary period. This has been suggested as a reason for the genetic differences observed between two taxa and would explain the unique variation patterns of S. pendula. However, the morphological differentiation between the S. racemosa complex and S. pendula is not considered sufficient to warrant recognition of specific status. Therefore, we recommend that only one polymorphic species of S. racemosa in Eurasia be recognized and that S. pendula be considered a subspecies of S. racemosa.
