PACS has been run at the Kyung Hee University Medical Center(KHMC) since 2001, and the installation and operation of PACS have contributed to automation and quantification of KHMC's medical environment During these five years our greatest concern is how to make our own guiding principle of diagnostic monitor QA which is adapted to international standards. In accordance with the terms of 'KHMC QA Guideline', 'AAPM TG18', 'SMPTE RP133', 'DICOM Part14', 'DIN V 6868-57', 'JESRA X-0093', 'JIS Z4752-2-5' and 'KCARE', concern about quality assurance of medical images are on the increase. With the investigation of acceptance testing and quality control of international standards for medical display devices, and data collection and analysis for recommended guideline, it is reported that acceptance testing(quality control), including geometrical distortion, display reflection, luminance response, luminance uniformity, display resolution, display noise, veiling glare and color chromaticity being adequate and effective to domestic hospital environments for medical display devices and assessment methods according to each performance. Accordingly, KHMC classified the checkpoint items by period, at the time of monitor setting, monthly, quarterly, half-yearly and annually. Periodic classification of checkpoint items for monitor QA makes a good guideline for image QA/QC and useful guideline for persistent good quality of monitor.

Freeze-drying process was used for 10 major protein foods referred by the Korea Health Statistics 2011 as follows; chicken, pork, beef, eggs, tofu, squid, soybean, mackerel, anchovy, and pollack/frozen pollack. Boiled samples and re-hydrated samples after freeze-drying were prepared for analysis. The weight variation, the chromaticity, the mechanical texture and sensory properties by eight trained panelists were measured. In the ratio of re-hydration, the anchovy showed the highest value(89.40%), followed by eggs, and squid showed the lowest value(35.51%). Changes of Hunter color value were observed among all samples. For rates on changes of hardness, every sample was increased except for eggs(p<.05). Among the 9 samples, except for eggs, chicken showed the lowest rate of increase in hardness(125.44%) while squid showed the highest rate of increase in hardness(1335.1%). Except for eggs and pork, eight samples represented differences in sensory properties, especially in juiciness and tenderness(p<.05). As a result, we found that egg is the most suitable for freeze-drying among 10 protein sources followed by pork and chicken.

Meat products have become prevalent in people's diet, and sausages, with the Korean diet getting more westernized in modern times. In particular, emerged as one of the favorite and the most consumed food products in Korea. In order to attain the best recipe to maximize the sausage's sensual taste, we have attempted to experiment and to analyze the differences in characteristic tastes of the sausages with varying increments of crushed red pepper of 0%, 2.5%, 5,%, 7.5%, and 10%. The followings are our findings from our experiment. As the result shows that red pepper, instead of nitrite, added sausage has twice more red chromaticity than those not added, sausage can be colored in red solely with natural materials when sold in the market. pH and moisture decreased as more red pepper was added, it did not show large difference. Texture results showed that the original sausage became harder and its viscosity decreased as more red pepper was added. Cohesion appeared to be similar and red pepper added sausage was munchier and more flexible. In the results of sensory test, 5% of red pepper added sausage showed the highest score but did not have any significant difference. For each items, red pepper added sausage got higher scores and by supplementing it would be seen as a useful additive in developing natural color sausages.

PURPOSES : In this study, we evaluated changes in the retroreflectivity and luminance of phosphorescent road line markings with changes in glass beads and line marking thickness. METHODS : The color of line markings affects their retroreflectivity. Using a chromaticity test, we conducted the analysis of whether phosphorescent road line markings adhered to the "KS M 6080" standard. Then, we measured the dry retroreflectivity and wet retroreflectivity for various glass bead refractive indices. We conducted wet retroreflectivity test using the EN 1436 standard as the basis. We also conducted luminance tests for different glass bead refractive indices and line marking thicknesses. RESULTS : 1. Phosphorescent road line markings specimens satisfied the "KS M 6080" standard. 2. In dry retroreflectivity test, phosphorescent road line markings sprayed with glass beads satisfied the national police agency standard ($240mcd/(m^2{\cdot}Lux)$). Wet retroreflectivity test results showed that except for one type of No.1 glass beads, phosphorescent road line markings specimens sprayed with glass beads of one type of No.3 and two types of No.1 satisfied the national police agency standard ($100mcd/(m^2{\cdot}Lux)$). 3. Phosphorescent road line markings had higher retroreflectivity than non-phosphorescent road line markings in the dry condition. 4. Phosphorescent road line markings sprayed with glass beads demonstrated improved luminance. Luminance increased with higher glass bead refractive index and with increased line marking thickness. However, when the thickness crossed a certain threshold, phosphorescence ceased to increase; this is a characteristic of the phosphorescence phenomenon. CONCLUSIONS : Visibility across short distances can be ensured when phosphorescent road line markings are sprayed with glass beads, because of the retroreflection phenomenon. It is also possible to ensure far visibility using phosphorescent road line markings.

Early fire detection is very important to avoid loss of lives and material damage. The conventional smoke detector sensors have difficulties in detecting smoke in large outdoor areas. The video-based smoke detection can overcome these drawbacks. This paper proposes a new smoke detection method in video sequences. It uses the ratio of variation rate of subband energy in the wavelet transform domain. In order to reduce the false alarm, candidate smoke blocks are detected by using motion, decrease of chromaticity and the average intensity of block in the YUV color space. Finally, it decides whether the candidate smoke blocks are smokes or not by using their temporal changes of subband energies in the wavelet transform domain. Experimental results show that the proposed method noticeably increases the accuracy of smoke detection and reduces false alarm compared with the conventional smoke detection methods using wavelets.

The purpose of this study was to promote consumption of rice through production of jeungpyun added with blueberry attracting attention as a functional food material and to develop a functional blueberry supplement suited to the preference of Westernized consumers. For that pupose, we performed physicochemical quality test and sensory test after preparing the jeungpyun added with blueberry powder based on a ratio of 1%, 2%, 3%, and 4% of rice flour. The results of this experiment can be summarized as follows. When the addition of blueberry powder increased, the moisture content in jeungpyun decreased, but there was no significant difference between the samples. The lightness and the yellowness related to chromaticity decreased and redness increased when the addition of blueberry powder increased. The pH of the dough in jeungpyun increased significantly (p<0.001) when addition of blueberry powder increased. As the fermentation progressed, the pH tended to decline. The volume of dough decreased when addition of blueberry powder increased. The volume was the highest after the first fermentation, and decreased after the second fermentation. Viscosity decreased significantly as the addition of blueberry powder increased, and increased as fermentation time increased, and decreased after the third fermentation. A test was conducted to determine difference in characteristics, and the results showed that the color intensity, cell uniformity, blueberry flavor and sweetness were strong when the addition of blueberry powder increased. The results of preference test showed that JB3 containing 3% blueberry powder had the best appearance, flavor and overall acceptance.

This study was performed to develop and evaluate cookies prepared with various amounts (0 g, 12.5 g, 25 g and 37.5 g) of mealworm powder to serve as not only sports snacks but also for the general population as a new protein source. In the chromaticity of mealworm cookies, lightness and yellowness decreased whereas redness increased with more mealworm powder. The hardness of the mealworm cookies increased as more mealworm powder was added. In sensory evaluation, higher preference was shown with the measure of color, taste, and overall preference for mealworm cookies prepared with 50% mealworm powder (MP2). For the general composition of MP2, the moisture, carbohydrate, crude protein, crude fat and crude ash were higher compared with the control cookie. For the mineral contents of MP2, the contents of Ca (33.44 mg/100 g), P (225.13 mg/100 g), Mg (82.21 mg/100 g), Na (246.22 mg/100 g), and K (503.49 mg/100 g) were higher compared with the control cookie. The essential amino acids (valine, isoleucine, leucine, methionine, threonine, phenylalanine, and histidine) in MP2 were also higher compared with the control cookie. It was concluded that MP2 can be used as a new protein source for not only the maintenance of muscle but also for the prevention of muscle loss in old people.

Wheat flour and glutinous rice pastes added Kimchi were fermented at 10$^{\circ}C$ for 14 days. The numbers of total viable microorganisms and lactics were counted. Textural property by compression force and relevant changes in pectic composition were determined. Other physical properties such as color and viscosity of Kimchi juices were evaluated. Regarding the microorganism counts, the total cell counts of all Kimchi samples increased until 5th days but thereafter all decreased during fermentation. The number of lactics showed same tendency in all Kimchi samples. The compression force of control, wheat flour paste added Kimchi (WHFP-Kimchi) and glutinous rice paste added Kimchi (GLRP-Kimchi) decreased up to 72.0%, 77.0%, 66.5% respectively. During fermentation, hot water soluble pectin (HWSP) increased, whereas sodium hexametaphosphate soluble pectin (HXSP) and HCI soluble pectin (HCISP) decreased. The red chromaticity of all Kimchi juices decreased. The viscosity of all Kimchi samples decreased in the order of GLRP-Kimchi, WHFP-Kimchi and control.

The present study investigated the influence of different volumes of red hot pepper juice on the quality characteristics of fresh Pasta noodle. Supplementation with 0% (control), 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, or 10% red hot pepper juice produced similar gelatinization characteristics of peak viscosity, temperature at peak viscosity, hot paste viscosity and numerical value of breakdown. However, increasing concentrations of red hot pepper juice produced progressively and significantly low cold paste viscosity and setback. The chromaticity of wet and cooked noodles was significantly lower in L value and significantly higher in +a and +b values with increasing volumes of red hot pepper juice. The texture of fresh noodles displayed no significant differences in hardness, adhesiveness and chewiness. The springiness and cohesiveness were lower and higher with the increase of added red hot pepper juice, respectively, but the differences just attained significance. For cooked noodles, adhesiveness, springiness, cohesiveness and chewiness tended to be higher with increasing volumes of red hot pepper juice, but again the differences just attained significance. Cooking characteristics of weight, volume, moisture absorptive power and turbidity decreased with increasing volumes of red hot pepper juice. Sensory characteristics of acceptability including appearance, color, flavor, taste, texture and overall-acceptability improved with increasing red hot pepper juice volume, in particular with 5% and 7.5%. Amylograph characteristics for initial paste temperature positively correlated with the texture characteristics for chewiness (p<0.05). Negatively correlated amylograph parameters included texture for springiness with for peak viscosity (p<0.01), texture for adhesiveness with hot paste viscosity (p<0.01) and breakdown with texture for adhesiveness, cohesiveness and chewiness (p<0.05).

The purpose of this thesis was to develop pumpkin soup with different ratios of ingredients, using high-nutrient sweet pumpkins. P10G0 without sweet pumpkin and glutinous rice powder showed the highest moisture content, whereas, P5G0 whit Cheongdung pumpkin and sweet pumpkin at the same ratio whitout glutinous rice powder showed the lowest moisture content. For chromaticity lightness of control pumpkin soup scored the lowest. Lightness of P10G0 without sweet pumpkin and glutinous rice powder also scored the lowest. For redness, the P5 group with Cheongdung pumpkin and sweet pumpkin at the same ratio scored the highest while the P10 group without sweet pumpkin scored the lowest. As for yellowness, increased ratio of glutinous rice powder in pumpkin soup scored resulted in reduced yellowness in all groups P5 (p<0.01), P7 and P10 (p<0.001) A higher ratio of Cheongdung pumpkin was thus generally associated whit reduced yellowness (p<0.001). For the spread-ability, higher ratio of sweet pumpkin to Cheongdung pumpkin resulted in significant reduction of spread-ability. However, groups with 12% glutinous rice powder showed no significant differences. Spread-ability of the P5 and P10 groups significant increased and thereafter decreased according to the addition ratio of glutinous rice powder, viscosity of the G0 and G4 groups decreased according to the addition ratio of Cheongdung pumpkin, whereas they first decreased and then increased in the G8 and G12 groups. All groups showed increased viscosity whit more glutinous rice powder. For the sensory evaluation, P5G8 was mostly preferred in all aspects. P7G4 was superior in all aspects except for flavor. P10G4 scored the highest in all aspects except viscosity. For acceptance test, except for the control group, P7G4 whit added of 70% Cheongdung pumpkin, 30% sweet pumpkin and 4% glutinous rice powder was the most preferred in all aspects except color (gloss, viscosity, flavor, taste and overall quality).
