Mycelial growth of L. edodes by pretreatments of softwood was studied on a sawdust medium. The sawdust used was from the following softwood species : Larix leptolepis, Pinus densiflora and Pinus koraiensis. The pretreatment consisted of cold-water (48 h), hot-water (3 h) and steam extractions (3 h) at a ratio of 500 g : 3,000 mL (sawdust : distilled water). The sawdust medium was a mixture of 76% sawdust, 20% rice bran, 3% glucose, 0.4% potassium nitrate and 0.6% calcium carbonate. Following sawdust pretreatments proved most suitable : L. leptolepis (steam extraction), P. densiflora (hot-water extraction) and P. koraiensis (hot-water extraction). Mycelial growth on P. koraiensis sawdust increased in proportion to an increase in hot-water extraction time. Mycelial growth was optimum on the sawdust extracted for 12 hours, hot-water extraction beyond this period proved unsuitable. With the exception of P. densiflora at 100 ㎍/mL, antifungal activity occurred in every sample. Maximum inhibition of mycelial growth was obtained from following concentration of hot-water extractives : P. densiflora (10⁴ ㎍/mL) and P. koraiensis (10⁴ ㎍/mL). This study has provided useful preliminary information for the cultivation of L. edodes.

This paper investigated the optimal conditions for coffee extraction and dilution by comparing differences in soluble compounds and sensory characteristics of coffee subjected to cold-water extraction according to water quantity and dilution ratio. For sample preparation, we extracted coffee for 3 to 10 hours by adding 400 mL, 600 mL, 1,000 mL and 1,800 mL of cold water ($20^{\circ}C$) to 100 g of ground coffee, resulting in 200 mL, 400 mL, 800 mL and 1,600 mL portions of extracted coffee, respectively. Following this, the 200 mL, 400 mL and 800 mL portions of extracted coffee were further diluted with 1,400 mL, 1,200 mL and 800 mL of cold water, resulting in ratios of coffee to cold water of 1:7, 1:3 and 1:1, respectively. The 1,600 mL of portion of extracted coffee was not diluted and used as a sample. Undiluted coffee showed the highest values for pH, acidity, reducing sugar, total soluble solids and total phenolic compounds among all sample coffees, whereas the highly diluted coffee with a high ratio of 1:7 showed the lowest values. In a descriptive test, odor, sourness, bitterness and body intensity were also the highest in undiluted coffee due to the overly extracted coffee compounds. Undiluted coffee showed the lowest preference in terms of aroma, aftertaste and balanced coffee taste. On the other hand, diluted coffee at a ratio of 1:7 showed the lowest values for odor, sourness, bitterness and body intensity. Diluted coffee at a ratio of 1:3 showed the highest values for sweetness and acidity and was the most preferred in terms of aroma, aftertaste and balance. As a result, our study concluded that the optimal conditions for extraction and dilution of coffee with cold water are a ratio of ground coffee to cold water of 1:6 (w/v), followed by further dilution of the coffee by cold water at a ratio of 1:3.

In a hot water extraction process, the flow pattern of upper region in a storage tank is a major reason of mixing between hot water and cold water. In this study, the temperature distribution in a storage tank was measured to predict the flow pattern of upper region, and the degree of stratification was analysed to the variables dominating a extraction process. And also, it was found that the degree of stratification improved expecially in a low flow rate in case of using modified distributor I(DMI) as a outlet port type.

Alkaline- or salt-assisted extractions have been widely used to extract edible insect proteins, however, there is a need for extraction techniques that balance cost-efficient production as well as preserving the protein properties. Mealworm proteins (Tenebrio molitor larvae) were extracted using three different extraction methods-alkali (AMP), salt (SMP), and water (WMP)-and then physicochemical and techno-functional properties were examined. AMP had high yield, protein, and amino acid contents, whereas WMP had high moisture, ash, and fat contents. SDS-PAGE showed a wide range of molecular weights in WMP whereas mostly low molecular weights were observed in AMP and SMP. AMP had poor protein solubilities compared to SMP and WMP across all pHs. AMP had enhanced water-holding capacity and emulsion stability, whereas WMP had improved oil-holding capacity and foaming properties. WMP formed a gel with and without the transglutaminase. The physicochemical and techno-functional properties demonstrated that water-soluble mealworm protein was superior to alkali-and salt-soluble mealworm proteins. Considering the cost efficiency and minimal impact on the environment as well, a cold press juicer could be utilized for mass production of mealworm protein compared to the conventional methods of protein extraction using alkali and salt.

In this paper, we propose a water temperature prediction method using feature extraction and reconstructed data based on LSTM-Autoencoder. We used multivariate time series data such as sea surface water temperature in the Naksan area of the East Sea where the cold water zone phenomenon occurred, and wind direction and wind speed that affect water temperature. Using the LSTM-Autoencoder model, we used three types of data: feature data extracted through dimensionality reduction of the original data combined with multivariate data of the original data, reconstructed data, and original data. The three types of data were trained by the LSTM model to predict sea surface water temperature and evaluated the accuracy. As a result, the sea surface water temperature prediction accuracy using feature extraction of LSTM-Autoencoder confirmed the best performance with MAE 0.3652, RMSE 0.5604, MAPE 3.309%. The result of this study are expected to be able to prevent damage from natural disasters by improving the prediction accuracy of sea surface temperature changes rapidly such as the cold water zone.

This paper describes visual tracking procedure of the underwater mobile robot for nuclear reactor vessel inspection, which is required to find the foreign objects such as loose parts. The yellowish underwater robot body tends to present a big contrast to boron solute cold water of nuclear reactor vessel, tinged with indigo by Cerenkov effect. In this paper, we have found and tracked the positions of underwater mobile robot using the two color information, yellow and indigo. The center coordinates extraction procedures are as follows. The first step is to segment the underwater robot body to cold water with indigo background. From the RGB color components of the entire monitoring image taken with the color CCD camera, we have selected the red color component. In the selected red image, we extracted the positions of the underwater mobile robot using the following process sequences; binarization, labelling, and centroid extraction techniques. In the experiment carried out at the Youngkwang unit 5 nuclear reactor vessel, we have tracked the center positions of the underwater robot submerged near the cold leg and the hot leg way, which is fathomed to 10m deep in depth.

Electron beam generator of cold cathode type has been developed for industrial application, for example, waste water cleaning, flue gas cleaning, and pasteurization etc. The operational principle is based on the emission of secondary electrons from cold cathode when ions in the plasma hit the cathode, which are accelerated toward exit window by the gradient of an electric potential. The characteristics of secondary electron emission are studied by comparing total cathode current with ion current.

Black liquor staining for the development of natural color of bleached Hanji caused problems of discoloration and degradation. This study was carried out not only to complement these problems but also to develop natural dyeing method that was similar to the color of unbleached Hanji, through the dyeing of rice straw extractives. The dyeing properties of Hanji were influenced more by dyestuffs extraction method than extraction and dyeing time. Dyeing ability of hot water extractives was superior to cold-water extractives. Without the relation to the time of extraction and dyeing, the color of Hanji dyeing hot water extractives were similar to the control, and the color of Hanji dyed for 45 min with hot water extractives that extracted for 120 min, were almost same as the control. As natural dyestuffs, hot water extractives of rice straw showed that excellent dyeing ability for the development of various natural colors similar to unbleached Hanjis.

In this study, we established the optimal conditions for obtaining water-soluble extracts with antioxidant activity from Kalopanacis cortex. The extraction conditions tested included cold treatment, extraction time (1, 5, 10, 15, and 24 h), and extraction temperature (55, 75, and $95^{\circ}C$). The highest total polyphenol compound content from water soluble extracts ($612{\mu}g/mL$) was obtained at $95^{\circ}C$ for 15 h after cold treatment. The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenger activity was also highest (78.8%) under these conditions, which was comparable to 70.2% of ascorbic acid. The hydroxyl radical scavenging activity (HRSA) was also highest (69.0%) under these conditions, stronger than 56.6% of ascorbic acid. These results may provide critical evidence supporting the use of Kalopanacis cortex as a source of antioxidants in functional foods.
