This study was carried out to investigate the chemical properties of rainwater in the Suwon and Taean areas. Rainwater was collected during the farming seasons of 2002 and 2003. The number of samples collected in Suwon and Taean were 69 and 71, respectively. These were analyzed for chemical composition. The pH of samples collected in April was higher than those collected after June. The most common range of rainwater pH was 5.0-5.6 in Suwon and 4.5-5.0 in Taean during investigation periods. The neutralization capacity of rainwater acidity by $Ca^{2+}$ and N $H_4$$^{+}$ was decreased during the rainy season. The EC of rainwater was lower during the rainy season. Cation concentrations in rainwater were N $H_4$$^{+}$ > $H^{+}$ > $Ca^{2+}$ > $Mg^{2+}$ > $K^{+}$ in Suwon and $Ca^{2+}$ > N $H_4$$^{+}$ > $H^{+}$ > $K^{+}$ > $Mg^{2+}$ in Taean. In the case of anion, the order was sol > N $O_3$$^{[-10]}$ > C $I^{[-10]}$ in Suwon and S $O_4$$^{2-}$ > C $I^{[-10]}$ > N $O_3$$^{[-10]}$ in Taean. The mean values of sulfate in rainwater were 130 $\mu$eq $L^{-1}$ in Suwon and 117 $\mu$eq $L^{-1}$ in Taean. The ratio of non-sea salt sulfate to sulfate (nss-S $O_4$$^{2-}$ > S $O_4$$^{2-}$) was 89% and 88%. This implies that the major origin of sulfate in rainwater might be anthropogenic.ht be anthropogenic..

In this study, on the assumption that the urban park originally is imbued with a public welfare ideology, said public welfare ideology and its characteristics were attended to among the various social roles that the urban park currently fulfills. Aspects of welfare meaning in urban parks were attempted to be identified with the former history of urban parks and the movements of the connections between modern parks and welfare territories. The ideologies, benefits and practices regarding the welfare role that the urban park has played from the past to the present were examined and the backgrounds and contexts within which the welfare ideologies have been expressed in the urban park were examined. In order to examine the implicated public welfare ideologies of the urban park, case studies were conducted to identify how they are expressed and practiced in the present times and the facilitation of these parks and public welfare both in the U.S. and the South Korea. The study results of the cases show that expressions of public welfare in urban parks are composed of more specific and visible programs and strategies in the present times, which are different from the simple proclamatory ways in the past. Particularly, in order to visibly practice a public welfare ideology, many-sided integrated designs are conducted along with various public welfare institutions and programs inside and outside of the urban park. The conclusions from this study are as follows. First, the urban park plays a role as a space to realize public welfare ideology, to create welfare benefits and to realize social welfare. Modern urban parks are used as an indicator to measure the actual conditions of social welfare and are a social environmental commodity that can offer universal benefits to urban residents. Second, many-sided integrated designs are tried along with various public welfare institutions at urban parks, which visibly practice public welfare ideologies in the present. In addition, public welfare institutions greatly influence the consistent development of the resources in the urban park. Third, if the detailed utilization of the regional facilities infrastructure could be brought along with multidimensional approaches about the resources in the urban park, it could be much closer to the lives of residents and could secure a space for increasing resident quality of life.

This study evaluated the physicochemical properties of a novel black bean milk yogurt made by lactic acid producing bacteria isolated from vinegar (Bacillus acidiproducens, BA) and kimchi (Lactobacillus plantarum, LP). Commercially available Lactobacilli mixture for yogurt (YF) were regarded as control bacteria. To investigate optimal conditions to make black bean yogurt, different types of bacteria (BA and LP) and dilution ratios of black bean milk and water (1:1, 1:1.5, and 1:2) were used. Titratable acidity and pH were affected by these dilution ratios, but not by the different types of Lactobacilli used. Titratable acidity and pH were lowest in the 1:1 diluted sample. The visible cell count, sugar content, and viscosity were significantly higher in the sample containing the black bean milk: water ratio of 1:1 than the rest of the samples. In the sensory test, black bean yogurt made with BA showed a higher overall acceptability score, similar to yogurt made with YF. In conclusion, black bean yogurt made by fermentation with BA and with 1:1 black bean milk:water dilution ratio was better than ones made with LP and at other dilution ratios.

This study investigated to determine the microbial contamination levels of strawberries at harvest and distribution stages and to suggest a control measure for reducing the microbial contamination of strawberries by replacing worker's gloves used at harvest and distribution stages. According to the monitoring results, the contamination levels of total aerobic bacteria (TAB) were in the order of soil ($7.12{\pm}0.61{\log}_{10}CFU/g$), gloves ($6.06{\pm}1.80{\log}_{10}CFU/cm^2$), strawberry ($3.28{\times}0.98{\log}_{10}CFU/g$), and water ($3.08{\pm}0.55{\log}_{10}CFU/g$) at harvest stage. TAB of strawberry at was harvest stage reduced from $3.28{\pm}0.98{\log}_{10}CFU/g$ to $1.85{\pm}0.21{\log}_{10}CFU/g$ and $2.6{\pm}0.30{\log}_{10}CFU/g$ at cold and room temperature storage, respectively. By the replacement of worker's gloves and distribution temperature, TAB levels of the strawberries were significantly reduced when compared to those of the strawberries treated without replacement of worker's gloves and distributed at room temperature. For reusing the replaced gloves, washing with a commercial disinfectant, clorox, was effective to reduce microorganisms contaminated on the worker's gloves. These results demonstrated that appropriate replacement of gloves at the harvest and distribution stages is an effective method for reducing microbial contamination of fresh strawberries.

In this study, the effect anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and liver protective activity was investigated via quick ultrasonic disintegration of pine pollen using a probe sonicator (PS) followed by the extraction with water, 70% ethanol, and 100% ethanol. The anti-inflammatory effect was studied by measuring the production of nitric oxide (NO) and cytokine in RAW264.7 cells induced with lipopolysaccharides (LPS). The cell toxicity was also checked with an 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, and the experiment was conducted using non-toxic $100{\mu}g/mL$. The NO inhibition rate was highest in the 70% ethanol PS group at $85.99{\pm}0.12%$. Also an excellent efficiency was obtained from the results of interlukin-1 beta ($IL-1{\beta}$) and tumor necrosis factor alpha ($TNF-{\alpha}$), which is related to inflammation-related cytokine, with the respective inhibition rates of 63 and 22%. To examine liver protective activity, HepG2 cells were treated with Taclin, and the generation of glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was measured in the culture solution. From GOT and LDH generation results, the inhibition rates in the 70% ethanol PS group were 28% and 13%, respectively, which was higher compared to that of using negative control group. Our results suggest that pine pollen extracted in 70% ethanol using PS may be used to develop food products that have anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and liver protective effects.

This study investigated the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of morning bread containing various amounts of aronia sourdough starter. Morning breads were prepared with different volumes (0% (AS0), 15% (AS1), 25% (AS2), and 35% (AS3)) of aronia sourdough starter based on wheat flour. In AS3 group (35% added group), the specific volume and baking loss rate were the highest but the bread height was the lowest. When the aronia sourdough starter was added up to 25%, the expansion power, specific volume, and bread height were significantly increased (P<0.05). According to the added amount of sourdough starters, the lightness and yellowness of the morning bread were decreased, however, redness was increased (P<0.05). In the rheology analysis, hardness, gumminess, and chewiness were significantly decreased with increasing amounts of aronia sourdough starters (P<0.05). However, cohesiveness was the highest in the AS2 group (25% added group). In consumer preference, the highest scores were shown in AS2 group (25% added group) in color, texture, and appearance. The total polyphenol and DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging ability were both significantly increased along with aronia sourdough content (P<0.05). In conclusion, morning bread with 25% aronia sourdough starter showed the best quality characteristics and antioxidant activities.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial effect on Enterococcus Faecalis and physical properties of chitosan added calcium hydroxide canal filling material. Low, medium, high molecular weights of chitosan powder were mixed with calcium hydroxide canal filling material. Also, for each molecular weight group, 1.0, 2.0, 5.0 wt% of chitosan powder were added. An overnight culture of E. faecalis was adjusted to 1 × 10⁶ CFU/ml. For test of antibacterial effect, three different molecular weights of 2.0 wt% chitosan and three different concentrations of high molecular weight chitosan were mixed with calcium hydroxide canal filling material. The absorbance of plates was analyzed using spectrophotometer at 570 nm with a reference wavelength of 600 nm. Physical properties such as flow, film thickness and radiopacity were examined according to ISO 6876 : 2012. All molecular weight type of chitosan containing material showed inhibitory effect against E. faecalis growth compared to non-chitosan added calcium hydroxide canal filling material group (p < 0.05). High molecular weight chitosan containing material showed the most antibacterial effect. Also, the antibacterial effect decreased as the incorporated amount of chitosan decreased (p < 0.05). Every molecular weight group of material containing chitosan had a tendency for reduced flow and radiopacity, increased film thickness according to amount of chitosan. Low molecular weight of 1.0 wt% chitosan addition did not show any significant difference of physical properties compared to conventional calcium hydroxide canal filling material. In conclusion, for reinforcement of antibacterial effect against E. faecalis and for favorable physical properties, 2.0 wt% of chitosan adding is recommended. Considering its antibacterial effect of chitosan, further studies are required for clinical application of chitosan in endodontics and pediatric dentistry.

This study was carried out to compare the survival and mutation rates and mutation spectrum by gamma-irradiation on rooted and unrooted cuttings of three spray type ('Lovelydia', 'Yellowbabe', and 'Haetsal') and two standard type ('Vital' and 'Aqua') cultivars in roses. Two groups, rooted and unrooted cuttings were gamma-irradiated at 70Gy for 24 hours. The irradiated rooted and unrooted cuttings were planted in a greenhouse, and survival, mutation rates and mutation spectrum were investigated 30 weeks after planting, respectively. As a result, survival and mutation rates of gamma-ray irradiated plants were 16.4%~50.8% and 0~5.1% for unrooted cuttings, and 39.4%~55.1% and 0.7%~7.4% for rooted cuttings, respectively. In conclusion, both survival and mutation rates were a little higher on rooted cuttings than on unrooted cuttings. However, when only survived plants after gamma-ray irradiation were considered, mutation rates were 0~10% and 1.8%~14.1% for unrooted cuttings and rooted cuttings, respectively, showing no significant difference. In addition, diverse variations on color and number of petals or shape of flowers were detected both in plants from rooted and unrooted cuttings, which indicated that there was no significant difference in mutation spectrum between two groups.

Depuis les $ann{\acute{e}}es$ 1990, sous l'influence de la $pens{\acute{e}}e$ postmoderne, des ${\oe}uvres$ $d{\acute{e}}constructivistes$ ont fait leur apparition dans le $th{\acute{e}}{\hat{a}}tre$ $cor{\acute{e}}en$. Cependant, cette approche est plus remarquable dans le domaine du $th{\acute{e}}{\hat{a}}tre$ pratique que dans celui de $l^{\prime}{\acute{e}}criture$ dramatique. Par exemple, ce mouvement a $commenc{\acute{e}}$ avec les metteurs en $sc{\grave{e}}ne$ OH Tae-suk et GUI Gook-seo au $d{\acute{e}}but$ des $ann{\acute{e}}es$ 1990. Leur ont $succ{\acute{e}}d{\acute{e}}$ ensuite les metteurs en $sc{\grave{e}}ne$ CHOI Yong-hoon, de la troupe de $th{\acute{e}}{\hat{a}}tre$ Chak Eun Shin Hwa, et PARK Kun-hyung. De plus, actuellement, de jeunes metteurs en $sc{\grave{e}}ne$ travaillent avec $perspicacit{\acute{e}}$, tels que KO Sung-woong, KANG Lyang-won et YOUN Han-sol. A $l^{\prime}oppos{\acute{e}}$ de ce $th{\acute{e}}{\hat{a}}tre$ pratique, $l^{\prime}{\acute{e}}criture$ dramatique des $pi{\grave{e}}ces$ de $th{\acute{e}}{\hat{a}}tre$ demeure au niveau de $l^{\prime}{\acute{e}}criture$ $repr{\acute{e}}sentative$ et est encore sans grande valeur. Pour $r{\acute{e}}fl{\acute{e}}chir$ ${\grave{a}}$ ce $probl{\grave{e}}me$, nous $consid{\acute{e}}rerons$ les $pi{\grave{e}}ces$ de Michel Vinaver dont la dramaturgie oppose $l^{\prime}{\acute{e}}criture$ $d{\acute{e}}constructiviste$ au principe $repr{\acute{e}}sentatif$ et ${\grave{a}}$ $l^{\prime}{\acute{e}}criture$ traditionnelle en ${\acute{e}}chappant$ au principe de $causalit{\acute{e}}$. Avec sa $strat{\acute{e}}gie$ de montage $sp{\acute{e}}cifique$, il $proc{\grave{e}}de$ avec une ${\acute{e}}criture$ $fragment{\acute{e}}e$ tout en $ins{\acute{e}}rant$ des dialogues $h{\acute{e}}t{\acute{e}}rog{\grave{e}}nes$. Il trouve ainsi le silence des mots, un $pr{\acute{e}}sent$ sensible, la $mat{\acute{e}}rialit{\acute{e}}$ des mots et des images ostensives ${\grave{a}}$ travers des dialogues $juxtapos{\acute{e}}s$, une $simultan{\acute{e}}it{\acute{e}}$ et une $discontinuit{\acute{e}}$ du dialogue. En examinant ses $pi{\grave{e}}ces$ de $th{\acute{e}}{\hat{a}}tre$, nous explorons cette nouvelle ${\acute{e}}criture$ qui $r{\acute{e}}siste$ au $r{\acute{e}}gime$ dramatique de la $repr{\acute{e}}sentation$. Toutefois, nous n'encenserons pas seulement cette ${\acute{e}}criture$ postmoderne. Plus $pr{\acute{e}}cis{\acute{e}}ment$, nous $rel{\grave{e}}verons$ ses limites, dans les circonstances $pr{\acute{e}}sentes$, en $r{\acute{e}}fl{\acute{e}}chissant$ aux limites du $th{\acute{e}}{\hat{a}}tre$ postmoderne depuis le $d{\acute{e}}but$ des $ann{\acute{e}}es$ 2000. Ce faisant, nous souhaitons $d{\acute{e}}finir$ de nouvelles $possibilit{\acute{e}}s$ $esth{\acute{e}}tiques$.

This study shows the changes in the space created by the planning and leisure activities of Hangang River Park, focusing on the Yeouido portion of the Hangang River Park, which has the most users and the greatest degree of planning. The relationship between planning, behavior, and space changes are explained based on Giddens's Structural Theory. As research material, Hangang River Park plans and satellite photos were interpreted and newspaper articles were used to identifying the space changes and their causes, and a model of the space changes was derived through the application of the theory. The flow of space change in the Yeouido portion of the Hangang River Park due to planning and leisure activities is as follows. In the 1970s, the first sports spaces are made due to need from residents near the riverside, but huge plans for the utilization of the entire space were not realized. In the 1980s, leisure spaces were planned and developed through a comprehensive plan. Various sports spaces were built, but the environment of the spaces became a slum. In the 1990s, various leisure activities were revitalized due to the revision of the legal system, regulations on the usage of space, and space maintenance, and from the late 1990s, ecological issues arose along the Hangang River. In the 2000s, there was an overall space improvement project directed by two comprehensive plans, and cultural and ecological issues appeared in the Hangang River Park plans. However, actual leisure spaces were developed along with the promotion of large-scale activities. Regarding the structuration theory, elements of interaction, modality, and structure are the aspects of space changes in the Yeouido portion Hangang River Park. As the flow of the space change, the proportions of the comprehensive plan and the individual plans were similar. The comprehensive plan was influenced by the change of public businesses and the proliferation of large-scale activities. Individual plans were influenced by the user's activities and opinions. However, both plans were influenced by the users and suppliers. The leisure space of the Hangang River Park can be viewed as a social space, in terms of the structuring as a theory due to the user repeatedly changing the use of the space. The purpos of this study is to investigate the changes in the Hangang River Park space through planning and leisure activities. Through this study, we can understand the characteristics of the Hangang River Park in planning the leisure activity space.
