The effects of dietary vitamin E supplementation (control; 200 IU/head/day, 500 IU/head/day and 1,000 IU/head/day) on color stability, lipid oxidation and total reducing ability in M. longissimus and M. semimembranosus from Hanwoo (Korean cattle) steer during retail display ($3{\pm}1^{\circ}C$, 1,200 lux) were investigated. The $L^{*}$, $a^{*}$, $b^{*}$, $C^{*}$, R630-R580 values and TRA (total reducing ability) of 1,000 IU group were significantly (p<0.05) higher than those of the other groups. The $a^{*}$, $C^{*}$, R630-R580 and TBARS values were significantly (p<0.05) higher in M. longissimus than in M. semimembranosus. The $a^{*}$, $C^{*}$, R630-R580 values and TRA for two beef muscles declined gradually during storage and the decline was more rapid in control and 500 IU groups. Hue angle and metmyoglobin (%) for two beef muscles increased (p<0.05) as display time increased, and 1,000 IU group had a lower rate of metmyoglobin accumulation during retail display. The TBARS values for two beef muscle were significantly (p<0.05) lower in 1,000 IU group than in the other groups over time. Consequently, the meat from 1,000 IU vitamin E-supplemented Hanwoo steer extended retail display life compared to the control and 500 IU/head/day.

대부분의 가정과 요식업체, 식품가공업계에서 이용하고 있는 식용유지는 저장 및 가공과정 중에 산패가 빈번하게 일어나게 된다. 기존에는 유지 산패를 측정하기 위해 산가, 과산화물가 등을 측정하는 이화학적인 적정방법을 이용하였는데 실험자의 숙련도에 따라 결과의 오차가 발생할 수 있고, 반복실험으로 인한 시간과 비용이 많이 소모되는 등 여러 제약사항을 포함하고 있어 식용유지의 산패를 실시간 비파괴적으로 분석할 수 있는 기술의 개발에 많은 관심이 모아지고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 식용유지의 저장조건에 따른 산패정도를 비파괴적으로 평가하기 위한 근적외선 분광분석과 인공신경망 분석기술을 개발하여 그 실효성을 평가하였다. 식물성 식용유지인 들기름을 특정 온도에서 일정한 시간동안 저장하면서 이화학적 적정방법을 통해 산가와 과산화물가를 측정하였으며 동일한 시료의 근적외선 투과스펙트럼을 획득하였다. 수집된 정보를 이용하여 유지 산패 예측 모델을 개발하기 위해 다변량 분석기법 (주성분 회귀분석, 최소자승 회귀분석과 인공신경망 분석)을 적용하였다. 분석 결과, 인공신경망 분석모델이 산가 ($R^2_{tra}:0.9037$, $R^2_{val}:0.8175$, $R^2_{test}:0.8555$)와 과산화물가 ($R^2_{tra}:0.9210$, $R^2_{val}:0.9341$, $R^2_{test}:0.8286$)의 예측 성능이 가장 우수한 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구의 결과들은 농산물과 식품의 성분 측정뿐만 아니라 다른 산업분야에서도 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대되어진다.

Background : Cervix cancer is the most common form of cancer among Korea women. in spite of proof that cervical cancer screening could reduce death rates substantially, the screening rates reported by previous Korean studies remain stubbornly very low. Behavioral studies to increase the cervix cancer screening rate are essential in order to develop the cancer screening program. Objective : To evaluate the factors which are related to the intention and behavior for cervix cancer screening using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA). Methods : The survey was conducted from July 21 st to 26th in 1998. Of 3,218 women, 303(12.2%) between 30 and 55 years old, voluntarily participated in the survey in the 3 Myeons in Choongju city. Charge-free cervix cancer screening was provided for the subjects 3 months later. Results : The R-square of both TPB and TRA to the intention (30% and 42%, respectively) was greater than the actual behavior (21% and 13%, respectively. TPB and TRA were found to provide an appropriate framework for the study of cervix cancer screening behavior. However, TRA was more powerful in explaining the intention, not only because the perceived behavioral control component exhibited lower reliability and validity than other components(altitude and subjective norm), but also because there may have been a few limitations in this study design. Consequently, the use of TRA is preferred in attempting to explain intention and actual behavior in this study. Conclusions : This study suggests that a successful intervention program should focus on changing attitudes and reducing psychologic barriers, rather than on just providing information. Physician recommendations, and the support of family members and friends are also very important factors in cervix cancer program participation. Physicians, friends, family members, and opinion leaders in rural areas, all of whom could affect the individual subjective norm, may all have the potential to play great roles as facilitators.

The objective of this research was to investigate the effect of immersion in Rhus verniciflua Stokes extract (RVSE) on the total reducing ability (TRA), protein oxidation and myoglobin oxidation of beef steak (Hanwoo longissimus muscle) stored with high oxygen-modified-atmosphere packaging (MAP) (HOMAP, 75% $O_2$+20% $CO_2$+5% $N_2$) and low oxygen-MAP (LOMAP, 0% $O_2$+20% $CO_2$+80% $N_2$) at $4^{\circ}C$ for nine days. RVSE induced TRA (p<0.05), metmyoglobin (MetMb) formation, and the CIE $H^{\circ}$ value but reduced the carbonyl content and R630-R580, as an index of the intensity of redness by oxymyoglobin, and the CIE $L^*$,$a^*$, and $C^*$ values. HOMAP maintained a lower TRA, MetMb concentration, and CIE $H^{\circ}$ value but had higher R630-R580 and CIE $L^*$, $a^*$, and $C^*$ values compared to LOMAP. Therefore, RVSE induced TRA and protein oxidation stability but reduced myoglobin stability in Hanwoo beef steak. In addition, the effects of HOMAP were opposite those of RVSE.

Members of Methylobacterium, referred as pink-pigmented facultative methylotrophic bacteria, are frequently associated with terrestrial and aquatic plants, tending to form aggregates on the phyllosphere. We report here that the production of autoinducer molecules involved in the cell-to-cell signaling process, which is known as quorum sensing, is common among Methylobacterium species. Several strains of Methylobacterium were tested for their ability to produce N-acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL) signal molecules using different indicators. Most strains of Methylobacterium tested could elicit a positive response in Agrobacterium tumefaciens harboring lacZ fused to a gene that is regulated by autoinduction. The synthesis of these compounds was cell-density dependent, and the maximal activity was reached during the late exponential to stationary phases. The bacterial extracts were separated by thin-layer chromatography and bioassayed with A. tumefaciens NTI (traR, tra::lacZ749). They revealed the production of various patterns of the signal molecules, which are strain dependent. At least two signal molecules could be detected in most of the strains tested, and comparison of their relative mobilities suggested that they are homologs of N-octanoyl-$_{DL}$-homoserine lactone ($C_8-HSL$) and N-decanoyl-$_{DL}$-homoserine lactone ($C_{10}-HSL$).

As the importance of R&D has recently become more important, the budget for national R&D projects has continued to grow. Along with, there is a growing awareness to use and manage R&D funds transparently. This study examines the relationship among attitude toward the behavior (ATT), subjective norm (SN), perceived behavioral control (PBC) and behavioral Intention (BI) deriving from TPB (Theory of planned Behavior). To empirically prove the hypothesis, the statistical analysis were conducted based on the response from the 2,021 RCMS users, using SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 21.0. The research model variable consists of ATT, SN, PBC, BI, person type, RCMS characteristics. The results of study can be summarized as follows. First, ATT, SN, PBC have the positive effect on BI. Second, According to the type of person (Director, R&D supporter), there is no difference in ATT on BI but there is a difference in SN (or PBC) on BI. Third, The type of person have moderating effects in the relationship between ATT and BI. Finally, All RCMS characteristics have moderating effects in the relationship between ATT and BI. Some RCMS characteristics have moderating effects in the relationship between PBC and BI.

Although microorganisms are, in fact, the most diverse and abundant type of organism on Earth, the ecological functions of microbial populations remains poorly understood. A variety of bacteria including marine Vibrios encounter numerous ecological challenges, such as UV light, predation, competition, and seasonal variations in seawater including pH, salinity, nutrient levels, temperature and so forth. In order to survive and proliferate under variable conditions, they have to develop elaborate means of communication to meet the challenges to which they are exposed. In bacteria, a range of biological functions have recently been found to be regulated by a population density-dependent cell-cell signaling mechanism known as quorum-sensing (QS). In other words, bacterial cells sense population density by monitoring the presence of self-produced extracellular autoinducers (AI). N-acylhomoserine lactone (AHL)-dependent quorum-sensing was first discovered in two luminescent marine bacteria, Vibrio fischeri and Vibrio harveyi. The LuxI/R system of V. fischeriis the paradigm of Gram-negative quorum-sensing systems. At high population density, the accumulated signalstrigger the expression of target genes and thereby initiate a new set of biological activities. Several QS systems have been identified so far. Among them, an AHL-dependent QS system has been found to control biofilm formation in several bacterial species, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Aeromonas hydrophila, Burkholderia cepacia, and Serratia liquefaciens. Bacterial biofilm is a structured community of bacterial cells enclosed in a self-produced polymeric matrix that adheres to an inert or living surface. Extracellular signal molecules have been implicated in biofilm formation. Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain NT1(traR, tra::lacZ749) and Chromobacterium violaceum strain CV026 are used as biosensors to detect AHL signals. Quorum sensing in lactic acid bacteria involves peptides that are directly sensed by membrane-located histidine kinases, after which the signal is transmitted to an intracellular regulator. In the nisin autoregulation process in Lactococcus lactis, the NisK protein acts as the sensor for nisin, and NisR protein as the response regulator activatingthe transcription of target genes. For control over growth and survival in bacterial communities, various strategies need to be developed by which receptors of the signal molecules are interfered with or the synthesis and release of the molecules is controlled. However, much is still unknown about the metabolic processes involved in such signal transduction and whether or not various foods and food ingredients may affect communication between spoilage or pathogenic bacteria. In five to ten years, we will be able to discover new signal molecules, some of which may have applications in food preservation to inhibit the growth of pathogens on foods.

Recently, a method for robust time reversal focusing has been introduced to extend the period of stable focusing in time-dependent ocean environments [S. Kim et al., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 114, 145-157, (2003)]. In this study, concept of focal-size broadening based on waveguide invariant theory in an ocean time reversal acoustics is described. It is achieved by imposing the multiple location constraints. The signal vector used in multiple location constraints are found from the theory on waveguide invariant for frequency band corresponding the extended focal range. The broadening of foci in an ocean waveguide can play an important role in the application of time reversal processing, particularly to the underwater acoustic communication with moving vehicles. The proposed method is demonstrated in the context of the underwater acoustic communication from the transmit/receive array (TRA) to a slowly moving vehicle.
