Benthic macroinvertebrates are widely used as biological indicators for assessing the integrity of aquatic ecosystem. However, sampling has usually been done with fixed sample size due to time consuming and costly process. This study was conducted to find out the influence of sample size on the biological indices (H' DI, R1, J, EPT, ESB and BMI) of benthic macroinvertebrates. The 15 replicate samples were quantitatively collected from each 3 different site of two mountain streams in May, 2011. With the replicate data, we combined the abundance of each species with all the possible combinations of the sample size. Along with the increase of sample size, the number of species increased continuously and did not converge. BMI showed little difference whereas other biological indices increased or decreased.

This research was conducted to evaluate the effects of cooking conditions on quality characteristics of Soo-Yuk, a traditional Korean food. The cooking conditions were as follows: boiled until the core temperature of a sample in $20^{\circ}C$ cold water reached at $75^{\circ}C$ (T1); boiled until the core temperature of a sample in $90^{\circ}C$ boiling water reached at $75^{\circ}C$ (T2); and boiled with sample from $20^{\circ}C$ to $100^{\circ}C$ and kept at $98^{\circ}C$ for 25 min (T3, Korean traditional method). The sample cooked at $90^{\circ}C$ water (T2) had the fast cooking time, and the highest cooking yield and moisture content. Soo-yuk boiled in $100^{\circ}C$ water (T3) showed the longest cooking time, the lowest cooking yield and moisture content, and the highest shear force. The instrumental color showed a significant difference among the cooking conditions. The sarcomere length of soo-yuk boiled in $100^{\circ}C$ water (T3) was the shortest, but the myofibrillar fragmentation index and thiamine content of the sample cooked at $90^{\circ}C$ (T2) were the highest. In sensory evaluation, the evaluation of soo-yuk boiled in $98^{\circ}C$ water (T3) was of superior flavor and overall acceptability.

Purpose: Phosphorus is an essential element for water quality control. Excessive amounts of phosphorus causes algal bloom in water, which leads to eutrophication and a decline in water quality. It is necessary to maintain the optimum amount of phosphorus present. During the last decades, various studies have been conducted to determine phosphorus content in water. In this study, we present a comprehensive overview of colorimetric, electrochemical, fluorescence, microfluidic, and remote sensing technologies for the measurement of phosphorus in water, along with their working principles and limitations. Results: The colorimetric techniques determine the concentration of phosphorus through the use of color-generating reagents. This is specific to a single chemical species and inexpensive to use. The electrochemical techniques operate by using a reaction of the analyte of interest to generate an electrical signal that is proportional to the sample analyte concentration. They show a good linear output, good repeatability, and a high detection capacity. The fluorescence technique is a kind of spectroscopic analysis method. The particles in the sample are excited by irradiation at a specific wavelength, emitting radiation of a different wavelength. It is possible to use this for quantitative and qualitative analysis of the target analyte. The microfluidic techniques incorporate several features to control chemical reactions in a micro device of low sample volume and reagent consumption. They are cheap and rapid methods for the detection of phosphorus in water. The remote sensing technique analyzes the sample for the target analyte using an optical technique, but without direct contact. It can cover a wider area than the other techniques mentioned in this review. Conclusion: It is concluded that the sensing technologies reviewed in this study are promising for rapid detection of phosphorus in water. The measurement range and sensitivity of the sensors have been greatly improved recently.

Using video synthesis to depict flowing water is useful in virtual reality, computer games, digital movies and scientific computing. This paper presents a novel algorithm for synthesizing dynamic water scenes through a sample video based on a dynamic texture model. In the paper, we treat the video sample as a 2-D texture image. In order to obtain textons, we analyze the video sample automatically based on dynamic texture model. Then, we utilize a linear dynamic system (LDS) to describe the characteristics of each texton. Using these textons, we synthesize a new video for dynamic flowing water which is prolonged and non-fuzzy in vision. Compared with other classical methods, our method was tested to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency with several video samples.

The number of households with pets has increased in recent years. Consequently, interest in mites and their odors has increased. In this study, we investigated whether pyrethrum extract and water-soluble phytoncides are effective tick repellents, deodorizing agents, and antibacterial agents. In the tick-climbing test, the pyrethrum extract (23.33 points) and water-soluble phytoncide (22.00 points) showed a high repelling effect. To confirm the tick avoidance effect of the composite extract, a tick climbing test was conducted with a pest control extract, a composite extract (referred to as a sample) containing a water-soluble phytoncide, and a third-party product (control). The sample showed a high avoidance effect (13.00 points and Control 26.67 points. An indoor repellent efficacy test for ticks confirmed that the sample showed an excellent tick-repellent effect (88%) compared to the control (12%). As a result of a deodorization test, ammonia was shown to have a deodorizing effect of 98.3% and trimethylamine of 99.5%, whereas, in the antibacterial test, the E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and pneumonia groups showed an antibacterial effect of 99.9%. Combining the results of this study, it is judged that the complex extract including the above material has high utility value as a material that is effective in mite repellents, deodorization, and antibacterial activity.

The quality characteristics of the traditional Korean snack Yut-gang-jung with Perilla, and the changes that occur during storage were investigated. The water and protein content of a fresh sample were 9.67％ and 10.83％, respectively. The water content in the sample stored at 20$^{\circ}C$ changed slightly, but that of the sample stored at 60$^{\circ}C$ showed larger changes from 9.33 ％ to 4.33％. The acidity of the sample stored for 8 days was significantly higher. The hardness of the sample stored at 60$^{\circ}C$ for 4 days was increased significantly. Results of the sensory evaluation indicated the sample stored at 60$^{\circ}C$ had a significantly decreased roasted perilla flavor. The rancid flavor of the sample stored at 20$^{\circ}C$ increased slightly, while that of the sample stored at 60$^{\circ}C$ showed a drastic increase during storage. Therefore, a one week storage of the Yut-gang-jung with Perilla at room temperature is recommended for a product to have a shelf-life with similar physicochemical and sensory properties to fresh samples.
