  • The variation of acidity, conductivity, and ion components in precipitation depending on the dominant wind direction was investigated from January, 2009 to December 2009 in Busan, Korea. Both southwesterly and northeasterly winds were dominant in Busan area. The volume-weighted mean acidity showed pH 7, and the high conductivity indicated 200 ${\mu}scm^{-1}$ in westerly wind. The volume-weighted mean equivalent concentration showed higher value of $K^+$ and $Cl^-$ in all wind directions. The composition ratio of $NO{_3}^-/SO{_4}^{2-}$ showed over 3 in northerly wind. The neutralization factors have been found to have higher value for potassium ion in northeasterly, easterly, southwesterly, and westerly winds compared with different wind directions, which indicated significant neutralization of acidic components over the region by potassium. Also, the concentration of sea salt has been found over 800 ${\mu}sm^{-3}$ in northeasterly and southwesterly winds. Air masses passing through Manchuria, Inner Mongolia plateau, China, and Russia in spring, autumn, and winter covered Busan, Korea in northerly, westerly, and northwesterly winds. However, air masses passing through the ocean in summer covered Busan, Korea in easterly, northeasterly, and southwesterly winds. Therefore, the variation of acidity, conductivity, and ionic components contained in precipitation shows each seasonal characteristics with prevailing wind systems between the continental and coastal area in Busan, Korea.

  • The algal blooms in rivers can negatively affect water source management and water treatment processes, necessitating continuous management. In this study, a multi-classification model was developed to predict the concentration of chlorophyll-a (chl-a), one of the key indicators of algal blooms, using Tabular Prior Fitted Networks (TabPFN), a novel deep learning algorithm known for its relatively superior performance on small tabular datasets. The model was developed using daily observation data collected at Buyeo water quality monitoring station from January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2022. The collected data were averaged to construct input data sets with measurement frequencies of 1 day, 3 days, 6 days, 12 days. The performance comparison of the four models, constructed with input data on observation frequencies of 1 day, 3 days, 6 days, and 12 days, showed that the model exhibits stable performance even when the measurement frequency is longer and the number of observations is smaller. The macro average for each model were analyzed as follows: Precision was 0.77, 0.76, 0.83, 0.84; Recall was 0.63, 0.65, 0.66, 0.74; F1-score was 0.67, 0.69, 0.71, 0.78. For the weighted average, Precision was 0.76, 0.77, 0.81, 0.84; Recall was 0.76, 0.78, 0.81, 0.85; F1-score was 0.74, 0.77, 0.80, 0.84. This study demonstrates that the chl-a prediction model constructed using TabPFN exhibits stable performance even with small-scale input data, verifying the feasibility of its application in fields where the input data required for model construction is limited.

  • The changes in the chemical composition of yeast extracts during autolysis and their effect to the sensory quality were studied with baker's yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The amounts of extracted solids, proteins, amio-N. amino acids, especially glutamic acid, alanine and lysine, increased by the autolysis time up to 48 hrs. The results of sensory evaluation made by the multiple paired comparision test and Duncan's test indicated a significant difference is taste by the time of autolysis. In the profile test, the flavor character notes expressed by the panel were 17 different characters, 11 in aroma and 6 in taste. The character notes and the intensity of flavor changed with the time of autolysis. The sharp and beany flavor of the extracts which was autolyzed for 4 hours turned into meaty and worty flavor by 48 hours of autolysis. A proper arrangement of the flavor characters in the quantitative descriptive chart could provide a weighted value of the flavor grade. The aroma grade index and the taste grade index correlated to the amplitudes of the profile test.

  • The issue of acid precipitation and related environmental problems in East Asia have been emerging. To evaluate the acidity and chemical characteristics of rainwater in Korea, its chemical properties during crop cultivation season from April to October were investigated at Suwon, Korea. Also, to estimate the contribution of ions on its acidity, ion composition characteristics and neutralization effects by cation ions were determined. Ion balance and electrical conductivity balance between the measured and estimated values showed high correlation. Rainwater had distributed highly in the range of pH 4.5~5.6. The pH of rainwater was relatively high at June as compared with other monitoring periods. $Na^+$ was the main cation followed by $NH_4{^+}$, $Ca^{2+}$, $H^+$ > $K^+$ > $Mg^{2+}$. Among these, $Na^+$, $NH_4{^+}$, $Ca^{2+}$ and $H^+$ covered over 93% of total cations. About 86% of anion in rainwater was composed of $SO{_4}^{2-}$ and $NO_3{^-}$. In rainwater samples, $NH_4{^+}$ and $Ca^{2+}$ contributed greatly to neutralization of the rain acidity. Also, 88% of soluble sulfate in rainwater was nss-$SO{_4}^{2-}$(non-sea salt sulfate).

  • The purpose of this study is to present a reflective review of the earth and universe units from the revised elementary curriculum of 2007-2015 and suggest changes in the 2022 revised curriculum. For this purpose, we conducted an FGI with earth science educators and elementary school teachers regarding the content elements and system, the achievement standards and inquiry activity composition, and the vertical and horizontal curriculum connectivity. Free response and weighted hierarchical analysis items were incorporated into the FGI to ensure logical consistency of the inductively derived improvement. This analysis revealed that the composition of units by grade group had been unevenly distributed among each of the "earth systems" until the 2015 revised curriculum was finalized. Furthermore, the basic concept was still insufficient. We suggest that achievement standards centered on the learning content and skills must state specific scientific core competencies, and inquiry activities should include rigorous critical thinking, student written responses, and student inquiry and analysis. In the hierarchical analysis items, FGI emphasized the inclusion of essential content elements rather than reduction of content elements, understanding-oriented concept learning rather than interest-centered phenomenon learning, basic concept division learning before integration between subjects, and expanding vertical-horizontal connectivity rather than repeating and advancing learning. There is a limit to the generalizing the suggestions proposed in this study to the common opinion of elementary earth science experts. However, since the main vision of the 2022 revised curriculum is to gather opinions through educational entities' participation in a variety of educational subjects, it is suggested that our results should be incorporated as one of the opinions proposed for the 2022 curriculum revision.

  • Objective: The effect of flavonoids from alfalfa on the microbial flora was determined using molecular techniques of 16S ribosome deoxyribonucleic acid (rDNA) analysis. Methods: Four primiparous Holstein heifers fitted with ruminal cannulas were used in a $4{\times}4$ Latin square design and fed a total mixed ration to which alfalfa flavonoids extract (AFE) was added at the rates of 0 (A, control), 20 (B), 60 (C), or 100 (D) mg per kg of heifer BW. Results: The number of operational taxonomic units in heifers given higher levels of flavonoid extract (C and D) was higher than for the two other treatments. The Shannon, Ace, and Chao indices for treatment C were significantly higher than for the other treatments (p<0.05). The number of phyla and genera increased linearly with increasing dietary supplementation of AFE (p<0.05). The principal co-ordinates analysis plot showed substantial differences in the microbial flora for the four treatments. The microbial flora in treatment A was similar to that in B, C, and D were similar by the weighted analysis. The richness of Tenericutes at the phylum level tended to increase with increasing AFE (p = 0.10). The proportion of Euryarchaeota at the phylum level increased linearly, whereas the proportion of Fusobacteria decreased linearly with increasing AFE supplementation (p = 0.04). The percentage of Mogibacterium, Pyramidobacter, and Asteroleplasma at the genus level decreased linearly with increasing AFE (p<0.05). The abundance of Spirochaeta, Succinivibrio, and Suttonella at the genus level tended to decrease linearly with increasing AFE (0.05

  • Objectives The aim of the study was to investigate the difference between pattern identification of premenopausal(n=39) and climacteric(n=40) korean obese and overweight women using Syndrome Differentiation Questionaire. Methods 39 premenopausal obese women(BMI${\geq}25kg/m^2$) and 40 climacteric overweight and obese women(BMI${\geq}23kg/m^2$) were recruited from October 2007 to March 2008 in Seoul, Korea. Subjects who had other disease were rejected. Basic anthropometry and body composition were measured. Every subjects were given and filled out the Syndrome Differentiation Questionaire, and we analyzed that using Fisher's exact test. Results 1. Premenopausal women showed high frequency of food accumulation pattern(43.6%), but in climacteric women, liver qi depression pattern was frequent(57.5%, p=0.021). 2. In weighted Syndrome Differentiation Questionaire score, Premenopausal women showed high frequency of food accumulation pattern(43.6%), but in climacteric women, liver qi depression pattern was frequent(47.5%, p=0.004). 3. There were no correlation between anthropometry and scores of the each patterns. Conclusions In this study, we can find out that the dietary factors play major roles in obesity of premenopausal women and emotional factors in obese climacteric women in the view of oriental pattern identification diagnosis. But it seemed that there lacked of consideration that reflected the degree of obesity in this Syndrome Differentiation Questionaire.

  • Precipitation samples were collected at Anmyeon (1997 - 2004), Uljin, and Gosan (1998 ~ 2004), the background area of the Korean Peninsula. These samples were analyzed for the concentration of 9 major ionic components ($F^{-}$,$Cl^{-}$, $NO_{3}^{-}$, $SO_{4}^{2-}$, $Na^{+}$, $NH_{4}^{+}$, $K^{+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Ca^{2+}$) with including a pH and an electric conductivity. Data quality for these samples was verified by ion balance and conductivity balance which are based on GAW manual for precipitation chemistry and the number of valid data at Anmyeon, Uljin, and Gosan is 249, 173, and 188, respectively. During the study period, the precipitation-weighted average pH at Anmyeon, Uljin, and Gosan was found to be 4.81, 4.87 and 4.89, respectively and each annual average pH was showed below pH 5.6 for every site. From the frequency survey on the precipitation acidity, the occurrence rate of acid rain below pH 5.6 is greater than $80\%$ for every site. Particularly, the highest occurrence rate for strong acid rain below pH 4.5 was found at Anmyeon, $32.1\%$, compared with other sites ($10.4\%$ at Uljin, $15.4\%$ at Gosan). That's because acidifying species (nss-$SO_{4}^{2-}$, $NO_{3}^{-}$) are remarkably high concentration at Anmyeon.

  • This study was designed to observe the effects of edible mugwort and medicinal mugwort ( Ganghwa medicinal mugwort) on blood components of rats. Eighteen young rats of Sprague Dawley strain that weighted 84${\pm}$9g, were used in this study. They were fed on the basal diet(control diet). 5% edible mugwort powder(EM diet) and 5% medicinal mugwort(MM diet) for 4 weeks respectively. In proximate composition of mugworts, crude protein and crude ash contents of EM were 2% higher than those of MM. Mn, Zn and vitamin A contents of EM were 3 times higher than those of MM, but in Ca content, MM was 5 times higher than that of EM. The contents of albumin and the activity of ALT, AP amylase and CK in serum were significantly increased, but the activity of AST was significantly lowered in EM and MM diet groups. The contents of TG and the activity of LDH were towered in EM diet group and MM diet group resulted in decrease of glucose content and increase of TP content.

  • Vegetation data of the mixed mesophytic forest in Mt. Chombong area were analyzed by the methods of classification and ordination. 'Weighted group average linkage cluster analysis' recognized five distinctive vegetation groups, based on the abundance data of 83 woody plant species in 70 sampling units. The species diversity was also examined for each group. The importance values of 42 tree species in the groups were subjected to principal component analysis (PCA). The PCA ordinated five vegetation groups on the first two axes, so as to compare similarity among them in terms of species composition. Acer palmatum, Fraxinus rhynchophylla, Quercus mongolica, and Acer mono had greatest influence on the determination of group scores with high eigenvectors (component loadings) in the first axis. Distribution of these four dominant species appeared to be important in determining community association in this diversified forest.
