  • This study was performed to minimize quality degradation of concentrated strawberry puree after $90^{\circ}C$ for 5 min by heat treatment with citric acid (CA) and acidic sodium metaphosphate (ASM) as pH modifiers. The highest color value was 1% CA+1% ASM (13.027), followed by 1% CA (9.539) and control (6.905). Anthocyanin contents were also 1% CA+1% ASM (3.049 mg/100 g), 1% CA (1.140 mg/100 g), and control (0.757 mg/100 g) in sequence. The DPPH radical scavenging activities of control, 1% CA, and 1% CA+1% ASM were 58.148, 72.638, and 83.736%, respectively. The color values, anthocyanin contents, and DPPH radical scavenging activities were significantly different at P<0.05 between control and 1% CA+1% ASM treatment. For the results of overall preference for hedonic test, there was no significant difference at P>0.05 among the three samples. During heat treatment, quality degradation of concentrated strawberry puree was reduced by 1% CA+1% ASM treatment, which is expected for new acidulants.

  • Users in social media post various types of opinions such as product reviews and movie reviews. It is a common trend that customers get assistance from the opinions in making their decisions. However, as opinion usage grows, distorted feedbacks also have increased. For example, exaggerated positive opinions are posted for promoting target products. So are negative opinions which are far from common evaluations. Finding these biased opinions becomes important to keep social media reliable. Techniques of opinion mining (or sentiment analysis) have been developed to determine sentiment polarity of opinionated documents. These techniques can be utilized for finding the biased opinions. However, the previous techniques have some drawback. They categorize the text into only positive and negative, and they also need a large amount of training data to build the classifier. In this paper, we propose methods for discovering the biased opinions which are skewed from the overall common opinions. The methods are based on angle based outlier detection and personalized PageRank, which can be applied without training data. We analyze the performance of the proposed techniques by presenting experimental results on a movie review dataset.

  • The expansion of double-income households is increasing the social interest in child care. In particular, children's entrance into elementary school is considered to be the main cause of women's career break as well as childbirth. This study proposes an optimal location selection method for caring facilities for elementary school students. As a candidate for care facilities, we selected existing child care facilities. We proposed a dual structure evaluation method that considers locational characteristics as well as mathematical optimization when selecting the optimal location. The experiment was conducted in Songpa-gu, Seoul. A total of 36 optimal locations were selected from a total of 258 candidate facilities. First, the evaluation criteria were established using public data, and the primary candidate facilities were selected by ranking the location scores. At this time mesh resampling method was used to integrate various public data into one. Next, the final care facilities were selected using the p-median method. The results chosen are not only the optimal location considering total distance but also satisfy various location criteria considering the characteristics of the care facility. We expect that the proposed method will contribute to public data convergence or utilization and it will be helpful for policy decision when selecting the optimal location for public facilities.

  • Recently, many people want to know their state of health, such as a body fat rate, anywhere and anytime. The Personal Digital Assistance(PDA) is the portable wireless apparatus that has become widely popular. There are many application areas of the IDA to be in mobile care devices. In this study, we developed the PDA based body fat measurement system, composed of a cradle type measurement module and a WindowCE operated software module, a regression equation for predicting lean body mass (LBM). Sixty-three weight-stable subjects (53 men, 10 women) aged 20∼32yr participated in this study. A regression model, LBM = (0.0005*Height2 - 0.0160*Impedance + 0.3920*Weight - 0.0684*Age - 5.8141*Sex + 25.984, was found. The correlation coefficient( r) of body fat rate between developed system and HTM1000plus(BionetTM) was 0.928. HTM1000plus is a commercially available and approved by KFDA. These results indicated that developed system is reliable for estimation of body fat rate. Although developed system is the PDA based miniaturized, it shows good performance comparing with other commercial product.

  • The feasibility of incorporating flaxseed powder up to 8% (w/w) as a value-added food ingredient in convenient food products was investigated using pound cake as a model system. The moisture content, volume, height, and hardness of cakes decreased significantly with increasing levels of flaxseed powder (P<0.05). On the other hand, baking loss increased with higher flaxseed powder in the formulation (P<0.05). Lightness and yellowness decreased, whereas redness increased significantly (P<0.05). 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS) radical scavenging activities increased significantly (P<0.05), and they were well correlated. The consumer acceptance test indicated that addition of 2% flaxseed powder had the most favorable effect on consumer preferences in general. Based on the overall observation, pound cakes with 2% flaxseed powder is recommended to take advantage of its functional properties without sacrificing consumer acceptability.

  • This study was conducted to minimize the quality degradation of concentrated blueberry juice after $90^{\circ}C$ treatment for 5 min by means of citric acid (CA) and acidic sodium metaphosphate (ASM) as pH modifiers. The highest anthocyanin content was observed at 1% CA+1% ASM (65.747 mg per 100 g) followed by 1% CA (46.022 mg per 100 g) and control (30.864 mg per 100 g). The DPPH radical scavenging activities of 1% CA+1% ASM, 1% CA and control were 87.338, 75.486 and 67.983% in respectively. The elastase inhibitory activity at 1% CA+1% ASM, 1% CA and in the control was 87.338, 75.486 and 67.983%, and the tyrosinase inhibitory of these samples were 77.891, 67.598 and 26.375%, respectively. Anthocyanin contents, DPPH radical scavenging, elastase inhibitory and tyrosinase inhibitory activities were significantly different (p<0.05) between the 1% CA+1% ASM treatment and control. During the heat treatment, quality degradation of concentrated blueberry juice was reduced by the 1% CA+1% ASM treatment, as expected for new acidulants.

  • In this study, cosmeceutical activities of the co-cultures of both lactic acid bacteria isolated from the hands of women, Lactobacillus rhamnosus (L. rhamnosus) and Lactobacillus paracasei (L. paracasei) were first reported: For whitening and anti-wrinkle activities, the co-culture showed the highest tyrosinase inhibition of 20.68%, compared L. paracasei and L. rhamnosus. The co-culture also showed the highest inhibition of melanin synthesis as 63.7%. In observing the anti-wrinkle activities of the co-culture, it generated only 3726.3 pg/mL of matrixmetalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) production when 13613.5 pg/mL and 13012.0 pg/mL of MMP-1 production were estimated from L. rhamnosus and L. paracasei. Besides these, the extract from the co-culture yielded higher collagen production as 380.7 ng/mL, compared to 323.4 ng/mL and 304.1 ng/mL from L. paracasei and L. rhamnosus. These results indicate that the co-culture of both lactic acid could improve its cosmetic activities. This hypothesis was also confirmed that the co-culture of both bacteria showed strong antioxidant activities of DPPH free radical scavenging while the extract of L. rhamnosus and L. paracasei.

  • The mechanical properties of 2D ceramic composites fabricated bythe newly developed powder infiltration and subsequent multiple impregnation process were characterised by both 3-point flexure and tensile tests. These tests were performed with strain gauge and acoustic emission instrument. The woven fabric composites used for the test have the basic combinations of $Al_{2}$$O_{3}$ fabric/$Al_{2}$$O_{3}$ and SiC fabric (Tyranno)/SiC. Uniaxially aligned SiC fibre(Textron SCS-6)/SiC composites were also tested for comparison, The ultimate flexural strength and first-matrix cracking stress of SiC fabric/SiC composite with 73% of theoretical density were about 300 MPa and 77 MPa respectively. However, the ultimate tensile strengths of composite were generally one third of flexural strengths, and first-matrix cracking stress in a tension test was also much lower than the value obtained from flexure test. The lower mechanical properties measured by tension test were analysed quantitatively bythe differences in stressed volume using Weibull statistics. This showed that the ultimate strength and the firs-tmatrix cracking stress of woven laminate composites were mainly determined bythe gauge length of fibres and the stressed volume of matrix respectively. Incorporation of SiC whiskers into the matrix increased first-matrix cracking stress by increasing the matrix failure strain of composites.

  • To develop array magnetic sensors, specular-type giant magnetoresistive- spin valve (GMR-SV) film of Glass/Ta(5)MiFe(7)/IrMn(10)NiFe(5)/$O_2$/CoFe(5)/Cu(2.6)/CoFe(5)/$O_2$/NiFe(7)/Ta(5)(nm) was deposited by using a high-vacuum sputtering system. One of 15 way sensors in the area of $8{\times}8mm^2$ was Patterned a size of $20{\times}80{\mu}m^2$ in multilayer sample by Photo-lithography. All of 15 sensors with Cu electrodes were measured a uniform magnetic properties by 2-probe method. The highest magnetic sensitivity of MR and output voltage measured nearby an external magnetic field of 5 Oe were MS = 0.5%/Oe and ${\triangle}$V= 3.0 mV, respectively. An easy-axis of top-free layers of $CoFe/O_2/NiFe$ with shape anisotropy was perpendicular to one of bottom-pinned layers $IrMn/NiFe/O_2/CoFe$. When the sensing current increased from 1 mA to 10 mA, the output working voltage uniformly increased and the magnetic sensitivity was almost stable to use the nano-magnetic devices with good sensitive properties.

  • This study analyzed the perception formed by artificial intelligence users by converging technology readiness index and technology acceptance models and expanding them to models considering artificial intelligence ethics in order to find out the impact of technology acceptance and ethics. Independent variables include optimism, transparency, ethical awareness, user-centeredness, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use as potential variables affected by independent variables, and defined the intention of use as potential variables as dependent variables. The survey results from an online and offline of men and women aged over 17 years old across the country (N=260) from September 5 to October 12, 2020 were used in the analysis. The findings, first, showed that optimism had a significant static effect on perceived usefulness and ease of use. Second, ethical awareness (transparency, ethical awareness, user-centeredness) did not have a significant impact on perceived usefulness and ease of use. Third, perceived usefulness and ease of use are finally found to have a significant static effect on the intention of use. Fourth, perceived usefulness has a relatively high influence over ease of use.
