The study has been conducted to know ablation microstructures and characteristics in carbon /phenolic composites. Ablation properties depend on mole fraction of $H_2O$ and $C0_2$ gas which were produced by reaction between propellant and oxidizer. However, the results of this study shown that the ablation also depended on weaving structure, density of fabric, and tow size of carbon fiber. 3K 8HS fabric showed superior ablation resistance to others, 3K twill and 12K 8HS fabric structures.

This study was performed to investigate the influence of fuel/oxygen ratio (F/O= 3.2, 3.0, 2.8) on the oxidation behavior of two kinds of (20wt%NiCr claded $\textrm{Cr}_{3}\textrm{C}_{2}$, and 7wt%NiCr mixed $\textrm{Cr}_{3}\textrm{C}_{2}$) composite powder with different manufacturing method. The results show that the oxidation behavior between the 20wt% NiCr claded $\textrm{Cr}_{3}\textrm{C}_{2}$ and 7wt% NiCr mixed $\textrm{Cr}_{3}\textrm{C}_{2}$ coating was widely different. The surface morphology of the coating composed of 7wt% NiCr mixed $\textrm{Cr}_{3}\textrm{C}_{2}$ was changed to porous with F/O ratio by the aggressive evolution of gas phases($\textrm{CO}_2$, CO and $\textrm{CrO}_3$) and the oxide cluster composed of Ni and Cr were grown after oxidation at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 50 hours. But the surface morphology of the coating composed of 20wt% NiCr claded $\textrm{Cr}_{3}\textrm{C}_{2}$ was not changed to porous after oxidation at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 50 hours. Therefore, the reason for high oxidation rate is due to activation of $\textrm{Cr}_{3}\textrm{C}_{2}$ to oxidation by entrapped oxygen gases within coating layer, and to closely relate with the decomposition of $\textrm{Cr}_{3}\textrm{C}_{2}$ to $\textrm{Cr}_{7}\textrm{C}_{3}$ phase. Accordingly, On the evidence of these results, the study about the oxidation behavoir of the HVOF sprayed $\textrm{Cr}_{3}\textrm{C}_{2}$ coating depending on hydrogen flow rate must be done.

Piezoelectric ceramics play an important role in various electronic applications. However, traditional ceramics are difficult to be used in some complicated structures, due to their low flexibility and high brittleness. To solve this problem, this study prepared and investigated ceramic/polymer composites that can utilize a good flexibility of polymers. Polyvinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene (PVDF-TrFE) and 0.77(Bi_1/2Na_1/2)TiO₃-0.23SrTiO₃ (BNST23) ceramics were selected to fabricate the composites. Ceramic/polymer composites were prepared using various volume fractions of BNST23 ceramics. The distribution of piezoceramic particles in BNST23/PVDF-TrFE composites was investigated using optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The dielectric and piezoelectric properties of the composites were significantly influenced by the volume fraction of the piezoelectric ceramics. As a result, the highest piezoelectric constant (d₃₃) of 56 pC/N was obtained in a composites with 70% volume fraction of BNST23 ceramics. Accordingly, it is expected that BNST23/PVDF-TrFE composites can be applied to various sensor applications.

The germination responses of Fraxinus rhynchophylla seeds collected from four provenances to constant temperature were investigated over the range $5{\sim}35^{\circ}C$. Difference among seeds in percentage and rate of germination and cardinal temperatures was observed. The seeds from Inje had high germination percentage at low temperature ($5{\sim}15^{\circ}C$) whereas those from Gangneung had high germination percentage at high temperature ($30{\sim}35^{\circ}C$). Three cardinal temperatures viz., the base ($T_b$), the maximum ($T_m$) and the optimum ($T_o$) for germination percentage and germination rate varied among four provenances. $T_b$, $T_m$ and $T_o$ for F. rhynchophylla seed germination as estimated by the quadratic models were the lowest in Inje while those were the highest in Gangneung. The cardinal temperatures ($T_b$, $T_m$ and $T_o$) were estimated by linear sub- and supra-optimal models for germination rate as a function of temperature response. $T_b$ was the lowest in Hoengseong while that was the highest in Gangneung. $T_m$ and $T_o$ were the lowest in Inje while those were also the highest in Gangneung. That is, the seeds from the provenance where the annual mean temperature was high had the higher cardinal temperatures ($T_b$, $T_m$ and $T_o$) as compared to seeds from the provenance where the annual mean temperature was low.

Produce, including leafy vegetables, has been implicated in several outbreaks of food illness. To evaluate microbiological safety of lettuce and it's cultivation area, a total of 147 samples were collected from lettuce farms and post harvest facility at Icheon, Gyeonggi province. The collected samples were assessed for presence of sanitary indicator microorganisms (Aerobic plate count, coliform count, Escherichia coli) and foodborne pathogens (Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella spp., Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus cereus). The population of APC was over 4.0 log CFU from most of the samples. While the numbers of APC, and coliform of lettuce at 62 days after transplanting were 4.18 log CFU/g, and 1.00 log CFU/g, respectively, those of 10 days after transplanting were 5.37 log CFU/g, and 2.87 log CFU/g, respectively. B. cereus was highly detected from soil and balance which were contaminated with 3.5 log CFU/g, and 2.6 log CFU/100 $cm^2$, respectively. The number of E. coli recovered from gloves was 3.5 log CFU/hand. However, E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella spp., and L. monocytogenes were not detected. These data suggested that risk management system should be introduced to lettuce farms to enhance safety of lettuce.

Objectives : The original plant species of Schisandrae Fructus (O-mi-ja) is prescribed as Schisandra chinensis $B_{AILL.}$, in Korea, but S. chinensis $B_{AILL.}$ and S. sphenanthera $R_{EHD.}$ et $W_{ILS.}$ in China. Moreover, fruit of several other species in genus Schisandra also have been used as the same herbal medicines. To develop a reliable method for correct identification of Schisandrae Fructus and to evaluate the phylogenetic relationship of S. chinensis and its related species, we analyzed internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences of nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA). Methods : Twenty-four plant samples of three Schisandra species and one Kadsura species, S. chinensis $B_{AILL.}$, S. spenanthera $R_{EHD.}$ et $W_{ILS.}$, S. nigra $M_{ax.}$ and Kadsura japonica $D_{UNAL}$ were collected from each different native habitate and farm in Korea and China. The nrDNA-ITS region of each samples were amplified using ITS1 and ITS4 primer and nucleotide sequences were determined after sub-cloning into the pGEM-Teasy vector. Authentic marker nucleotides were estimated by the analysis of ClastalW based on the entire nrDNA-ITS sequence. Results : In comparative analysis of the nrDNA-ITS sequences, we found specific nucleotide sequences including indels (insertions and deletions) and substitutions to distinguish C. chinensis, S. spenanthera, S. nigra, and K. japonica. These sequence differences at corresponding positions are avaliable nucleotide markers to determine the botanical origin of O-mi-ja. Moreover, we evaluated the phylogenetic relationship of four plant species by the analysis of nrDNA-ITS sequences. Conclusions : These marker nucleotides would be useful to identify the official herbal medicines by the providing of definitive information that can identify each plant species and distinguish it from unauthentic adulterants for O-mi-ja.

The purpose of the study was to simplify standard HACCP manual for improving the on-site applicability and increasing the implementation rate of HACCP program for small- and medium-sized dairy farms (SMDF). A survey was carried out in 32 SMDFs using a structured questionnaire. The results indicated that the number of workers had a positive correlation with HACCP certifications (p < 0.05). Most of HACCP non-certified farms (66.7%) were run by two workers with 40-60 cows and milking yields of 1,000-1,500 L per day. Major drawbacks for dairy farmers to implement current HACCP system were the difficulties in daily recording and facility management (40%). On the basis of the survey results, it was suggested that the development of on-site standard HACCP manual and user-friendly record chart with O/X checklist were the most urgent factors to increase HACCP implementation rate. In addition, the alternative third party service for microbial and chemical tests could also be accompanied for small-sized dairy farms.

ECR 이온원을 가볍고 작게 하면서 운전을 단순화함으로써 유지보수를 최소화하는 것은 특히 의료용 중입자 가속기에서 매우 중요한 조건 중 하나가 된다. 탄소 다가 이온을 만들어내기 위한 의료용 중입자가속기의 이온원으로 영구자석형 ECR 이온원을 개념 설계하였다. 영구자석은 이온원 입출구에서 강력한 축방향 자장을 만들기 위한 솔레노이드 자석 두 개와 반경방향 자장을 만들어 주기 6극 자석으로 구성된다. 또한 축방향 자장 흐름을 효과적으로 만들어주기 위한 두 개의 링 형 자석을 추가하여 자장의 강도를 높였다. 그러나 영구자석으로만 만들어진 자장 구조는 제작과 동시에 고정이 되어 수정이 불가능하기 때문에 제작 후 매우 제한적인 운전영역을 가질 뿐 만 아니라 최악의 경우에는 운전조건을 찾지 못하는 경우도 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 본 설계에서는 그림과 같이 두 개의 작은 보조 솔레노이드 전자석을 추가하여, 최소한의 운전조건으로 ECR 이온원의 공명영역을 결정하는 최소 자장의 구조뿐만 아니라 축방향 자장의 세기도 각각 능동적으로 제어할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한 마이크로파원으로는 TWT (Traveling Wave Tube)를 사용하여 10 GHz에서 14 GHz 까지 다양한 주파수에서 운전이 가능할 수 있도록 설계하였다. 이러한 설계를 통하여 다양한 운전조건을 가질 수 있는 안정된 ECR 이온원을 부피가 작으면서도 유지보수를 최소화하는 구조로 만들 수 있으며, 본 이온원은 탄소 다가 이온을 만들어내기 위한 목적뿐 만 아니라 다양한 중이온을 작은 규모로 만들어내기 위한 장치에서도 사용될 수 있다.
