Though the freshness for agricultural products is an important factor related to their quality management, this terminology is being used restrictedly because it is very subjective. In this study, a dimensionless index which had the span of the maximum of 1 through the minimum of 0 was proposed to describe freshness of the product with time-variant quality and was applied to Tsugaru and Fuji apples. First, the compressive properties having the linearity in their change regarding time elapsed after harvest were selected. For Tsugaru apple, bio-yield and rupture forces had high correlation with time while for Fuji, bio-yield and rupture deformations had high correlations. When the slope, or ratio of force to deformation, was considered, the effect of cultivar could be neglected. When the linearly time-variant compressive properties for Tsugaru and Fuji apples were involved in the freshness indices, they described well freshness of apples. Also, the freshness decay constant depicted a characteristic which related to freshness decay rate. Therefore, the freshness index can be utilized to manage the quality during storage and distribution of apples.

Manganese-doped $Zn_2SiO_4$ phosphors well known as a green emitter with high luminescence efficiency were prepared by the homogeneous precipitation method, and their photoluminescence properties under vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) excitation were investigated. $Zn_2SiO_4$:Mn phosphors obtained by this method have exhibited a high luminance of property and a spherical shape of particles. In particular, the green emission intensity of zinc orthosilicate prepared as containing around 2 mole% of manganese was much stronger than that of the commercial $Zn_2SiO_4$:Mn phosphor, while the decay time was longer. However, addition of $Al^{3+}$ and $Li^+$ into $Zn_2SiO_4$:Mn composition has significantly diminished the decay time of the phosphor without much degradation of the emission intensity.

In this paper, we have investigated the degradation of shed materials of outdoor insulators by UV-radiation by using corona-charging and XPS analysis. The accumulated charges on polymeric surface having intrinsic hydrophobic property have a negative impact on retaining its hydrophobicity. Therefore, shorter decay times of surface charges are preferred. The surface voltage decay on UV-treated silicone rubber and EPDM show a different decay trend with UV treated time. From the XPS analysis, the oxidized groups of silica-like structure in silicone rubber increase with UV treatment time. For EPDM, the oxidized carbon groups of C=O, O=C-O increase as elapse of UV radiation time. These oxidized surface for each material have different electrostatic characteristics, so deposited charges may be expected to have different impacts on their surface hydrophobicity. The degradation mechanism based on our results is discussed.

A finite element scheme is considered for the viscous Cahn-Hilliard equation with the nonconstant gradient energy coefficient. The scheme inherits energy decay property and mass conservation as for the classical solution. We obtain the corresponding error estimate using the extended Lax-Richtmyer equivalence theorem.

In this study the electrical and mechanical characteristics of PET films ore analyzed after plasma surface treatment. After plasma treatment, the surface potential decay, surface potential and dielectric property were evaluated to analyze the electrical insulating property, and the tensile strength was measured as the mechanical characteristic. When plasma treatment was conducted for less than 10 minutes, it was found that the electrical insulating property was improved through evaporation of low molecular weight materials md cleaning of surface. However, for more than 10 minutes, the insulating property of plasma treated PET films was decreased due to excessive discharge energy. The tensile strength was hardly changed by Plasma treatment.

We consider the subdiagonal bilinear model and ARMA model with subdiagonal bilinear errors. Sufficient conditions for geometric ergodicity of associated Markov chains are derived by using results on generalized random coefficient autoregressive models and then strict stationarity and ,a-mixing property with exponential decay rates for given processes are obtained.

본 연구는 수직구의 바닥굴착을 위한 바닥발파시 삼승근환산식과 자승근환산식의 발파진동상수 및 감쇠지수와 암질지수(RQD)와의 관계를 시험발파계측을 통하여 정리분석한 것이다. 각종 발파시 발파진동의 크기는 장약량, 발파원과 발파진동 측정지점과의 거리, 지반의 특성에 따라 크게 좌우되며 본 논문에서는 지반의 특성이 발파진동에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위하여 암반의 절리특성을 대표하는 RQD와 발파진동 크기와의 관계를 연구한 것이다. 시험결과 RQD의 증가에 따라 발파진동상수 K와 감치지수 n의 절대치는 상대적으로 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며 본 연구결과에 의하여 향후 암질지수에 따른 바닥발파의 발파진동속도를 예측할 수 있다.

In this study, we tried to examine the possibility of developing a dental product such as tooth decay prevention and oral hygiene by manufacturing a natural polymer film for oral use. Natural polymer films were prepared from shark byproduct extract (SBE) and gellan gum (GG). As an antibacterial substance, the antibacterial activity of green tea extract against tooth decay-causing bacteria was measured. An film was prepared by adding green tea extract to the composition of SBE and GG. The mechanical, solubility, moisture content and antibacterial function of the prepared film were investigated in detail. Also, the incorporation of GTE into the SBE/GG film improved the physical performance of the film. Increasing the content of GTE improved the antioxidant and antibacterial properties of the film. Formulation of antimicrobial SBE/GG film containing green tea extract was established and these results evidently showed potential for cavity prevention products application.

동해안 지역에서 산불로 고사된 소나무의 5년에 걸친 경시적 재질 변화를 역학성능을 중심으로 조사하였다. 고사에 따른 재질열화로 가장 크게 영향 받는 역학성능은 충격 휨 흡수에너지였다. 따라서 고사 초기의 재질변화를 예측하는 지표로 활용이 가능할 것으로 밝혀졌다. 고사 경과에 따라 변재의 재질열화가 심재에 비해 두드러지게 진행되었다. 열화의 정도는 충격 휨 흡수에너지가 가장 컸으며 압축강도가 가장 작았다. 고사 이후의 외관 변화와 역학성능의 열화진행 정도로 볼 때 산불피해 소나무의 유효한 활용을 위한 적정 벌채 시기는 산불발생 1년 이내가 바람직한 것으로 밝혀졌다.
