The purpose of this study is to develop of red tide information system for spatial and temporal analysis of red tide including the outbreak season of red tide and biological-oceanography parameters using GIS techniques. The outbreaks of red tide were sporadic in the South Sea until 1994, but became frequent and widespread in whole coastal waters of the South Sea and East Sea since 1995. Therefore, the research fields of red tide has undergone a major changes. For monitoring of red tide, many kinds of techniques were carried out such as remote sensing, GIS and fuzzy model system. In this research, the development methods of red tide information system were suggested. For construction of the CIS based Red Tide database, spatial distribution area, species of red tide plankton and physical environment were analyzed.

Midface and maxillary distraction osteogenesis (DO) can be an alternative treatement modality for the craniofacial syndrome patients and cleft lip and palate patients. Rigid External Distraction (RED) II system has more advantages in the force vector control than the other types of distraction systems. Despite of increasing popularity of RED system there is few report on the failure factors. Some considerations should be pointed out in using RED II system for successful treatment; the rigidity of intraoral splint, complete separation of bony segment, and the cooperation of patients. Orthodontists, surgeons, and patients have the same amount of responsibility for the successful midface and maxillary DO using RED II system from the beginning to the end of the treatment.

Red pepper is composed of pericarp and calyx. Calyx must be removed for the producton of high quality powdered red pepper. However, an apparatus to effectively remove calyx is not available. This study was performed to develop a method to remove calyx. According to the result of this study, the following method was found out to be very effective. Step 1 : Red pepper must be compressed by a compressing apparatus such as roller system. Step 2 : Calyx in red pepper must be plucked out when red pepper passes through roller system with relative velocity.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to design a variable frequency LED light system for plant factory which combined red, blue, green, white, and UV lights and controlled the ratio of the light wavelength. In addition, this study evaluated the performance of each combination of LED to verify the applicability. Methods: Four combinations of LED (i.e. Red+Blue, Red+Blue+Green, Red+Blue+White, Red+Blue+UV) were designed using five types of LED. The system was designed to control the duty ratio of each wavelength of LED by 1% interval from 0~100%, the pulse by 1Hz interval from 1~20kHz. Response characteristics of the control system, spectral distribution of each combination, light uniformity and uniformity ratio were measured to test the performance of the system. Results: Clean waveforms were measured from 10Hz to 10kHz regardless of duty ratio. Frequency distortion was observed within 5% of inflection point at frequencies above 10kHz regardless of duty ratio, but it was judged negligible. Spectra showed a normal distribution, and maximum PPF with duty ratio of 100% was $271.4{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ for the Red+Blue combination. PPF of the Red+Blue+Green combination was $258.9{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$, and that of the Red+Blue+White combination was $273.9{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$. PPF of the Red+Blue+UV combination was $267.7{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$. Uniformity ratio for the area excepting border showed 0.90 for the Red+Blue and Red+Blue+White combinations, 0.87 for the Red+Blue+Green combination, and 0.88 for the Red+Blue+UV combination. The light was irradiated evenly at the area excepting border, so it was suitable for plant growing. Conclusions: From the results of this study, response characteristics of the control system, spectral distribution of each combination, light uniformity and uniformity ratio were suitable for applying into the plant factory.

The satellite-based red tide detection algorithms have been developed for specific occurrence waters and red tide species. However, it is essential to study the whole occurrence waters and various red tide species for quick and accurate surveillance of red tide around the Korean coastal waters. In thisstudy, the comprehensive analysesinvolve the spectral features of red tide areas and the suitability of the satellite-based red tide detection algorithms used with GOCI in the Korean coastal waters. As a result, the spectral characteristics were changed according to the chlorophyll content of red tide species and the turbidity of the waters where the red tide appeared. In addition, the previous red tide detection algorithm is applied to GOCI, and it is found that there is a limitation to the red tide area extraction as the existing threshold value. To overcome these limitations, red tide species were divided into two groups according to the difference of chlorophyll content and a system for red tide surveillance wassuggested. It is possible to distinguish between red tide and non-red tide area through five steps. As a result of applying to GOCI, the red tide was appropriately extracted from the previous algorithm based on red tide breaking news. If such a red tide surveillance system is used, it will be possible to efficiently monitor red tide by quick and accurate surveillance of the whole occurrence waters around the Korean and various red tide species.

One of the issues, which is dealed with in undirectional data transmission technology, is reducing the packet loss in TCP based data transfer. We can decrease the packet loss by using several well known error correction approaches. Although we utilize those previous approaches, the packet loss by both link errror and buffer overflow could be occurred. In this paper, we propose the RED(REliable Data diode). RED also uses the TCP proxy approach for supporting the TCP based data transfer which is similar with the existing unidirectional data transmission technologies. The RED transmission system could alleviate the packet loss caused by buffer overflow by exploiting the delaying transmission of TCP packets. Furthermore, in order to reduce the packett loss caused by link error in the unidirectional transmission link, the RED transmission system transmits one or more duplicated packets to the RED reception system by considering both the remaining resources and packet importance.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of ethanol extracts from red pepper seeds on the antioxidative defense system and oxidative stress in rats fed a high fat high cholesterol diet. Rats were divided into four experimental groups which were composed of high fat high cholesterol diet group (HF), high fat high cholesterol diet with 0.1% ethanol extracts from red pepper seeds supplemented group (HEA), high fat high cholesterol diet with 0.2% ethanol extracts from red pepper seeds supplemented group (HEB) and high fat high cholesterol diet with 0.5% ethanol extracts from red pepper seeds supplemented group (HEC). Supplementation of ethanol extracts from red pepper seeds groups (HEA, HEB and HEC) resulted in significantly increased activities of hepatic glutathione peroxidase and catalase. Hepatic superoxide radical contents in microsome and mitochondria were significantly reduced in the groups supplemented with red pepper seeds ethanol extracts. Hepatic hydrogen peroxide content in the mitochondria was reduced in ethanol extracts from red pepper seeds supplemented groups. TBARS values in the liver were reduced in red pepper seeds ethanol extracts supplemented groups. Especially, HEB and HEC groups were significantly decreased compared to the HF group. Hepatic carbonyl values were significantly reduced in mitochondria in these supplemented groups. These results suggest that red pepper seeds ethanol extracts may reduce oxidative damage, by activation of antioxidative defense system in rats fed high fat high cholesterol diets.

Korean farmers have purchased agricultural dryer and low temperature storage system apart. In this study, the system was designed and constructed to investigate the practical application possibility of the air to air heat pump as drying and low temperature storage system for agricultural products with providing basic data. The performance and drying characteristics of the system evaluated by drying red pepper. The value of coefficient of performance of the system for heating was from 1.8 to 2.2 when ambient air temperature varied from 13$^{\circ}C$ to 23$^{\circ}C$. For operating the heat pump as dryer for drying red pepper by setting three drying air temperature of 50, 55 and 60$^{\circ}C$, specific moisture extraction rates meaning amount of energy consumption for removing moisture of 1kg from red pepper were 1.095, 1.017 and 1.094 kg$_{water}$/kWh, respectively. The drying period up to moisture ratio of 0.02 were 31, 26 and 21 hour, respectively. The lightness, redness, yellowness and chroma differences of red pepper dried by the heat pump dryer were lowered than those of red pepper dried by conventional heated air dryer except for yellowness difference at drying air temperature of 60$^{\circ}C$.

Few researches related to the spatial determination of areas where red tide occurs have been performed, so accurately determining the area where red tide occurs and disappears poses difficulties. Therefore, a more objective and scientific method is necessary to analyze the occurrence and movement of red tide based on a geo-spatial information system. In this study, the coastline was extracted using a digital topographic map in order to examine areas where red tide occurs each year. An analysis of red tide occurrence areas, which were determined based on red tide data for the last several years, showed that only Yeoja bay had almost a zero case of red tide of the areas studied, whereas Dolsando in the South Sea and NamHaedo Aenggang bay areas exhibited the highest frequency of red tide occurrences. Based on these results, by using a system that determines the geo-spatial distribution status of areas repeatedly hit by red tide every year, it would be possible to predict the course of red tide and prevent consequent damages.
