Characteristics of snowfall and snow crystal habits have been investigated in the campaign of Experiment on Snow Storms At Yeongdong (ESSAY) using radiosonde soundings, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), and a digital camera with a magnifier for taking a photograph of snowfall crystals. The analysis period is 6 to 14 February 2014, when the accumulated snowfall amount is 192.8 cm with the longest snowfall duration of 9 days. The synoptic situations are similar to those of the previous studies such as the Low pressure system passing by the far South of the Korean peninsula along with the Siberian High extending to northern Japan, which eventually results in the northeasterly or easterly flows and the long-lasting snowfall episodes in the Yeongdong region. In general, the ice clouds tended to exist below around 2~3 km with the consistent easterly flows, and the winds shifted to northerly~northwesterly above the clouds layer. The snow crystal habits observed in the ESSAY campaign were mainly dendrite, consisting of 70% of the entire habits. The rimed habits were frequently captured when two-layered clouds were observed, probably through the process of freezing of super-cooled droplets on the ice particles. The homogeneous habit such as dendrite was shown in case of shallow clouds with its thickness of below 500 m whereas various habits were captured such as dendrites, rimed dendrites, aggregates of dendrites, plates, rimed plates, etc in the thick cloud with its thickness greater than 1.5 km. The dendrites appeared to be dominant in the condition of cloud top temperature specifically ranging $-12{\sim}-16^{\circ}C$. However, the association of snow crystal habits with temperature and super-saturation in the cloud could not be examined in the current study. Better understandings of characteristics of snow crystal habits would contribute to preventing breakdown accidents such as a greenhouse destruction and collapse of a temporary building due to heavy snowfall, and traffic accidents due to snow-slippery road condition, providing a higher-level weather information of snow quality for skiers participating in the winter sports, and estimating more accurate snowfall amount, location, and duration with the fallspeed of solid precipitation.

균온처리 및 다양한 동결방법에 따른 동결식육의 조직과 냉동냉장 중의 품질변화를 비교 검토한 결과, 동결속도가 $0.39{\sim}0.66\;cm/h$ 일 때, 빙결정의 크기는 $30{\sim}50\;{\mu}m$ 수준이며 조직은 찌그러지거나 불규칙한 균열이 발생하였으며, 동결속도가 $1.14{\sim}2.26\;cm/h$의 경우는 빙결정 크기가 $10{\sim}30\;{\mu}m$ 수준으로 주로 조직 내 또는 조직내외에 생성되며 조직파괴는 미세하게 일어남을 보여 주었으며, 특정동결시간$(t_c)$에 따른 빙결정의 평균직경(D)는 $D({\mu}m)=4.089+26.88\;logt_c\;(r^2=0.913)$의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 동결방법에 따른 드립손실율은 우육의 경우 정지공기식으로 처리한 시료는 타 처리구에 비해 계속 높게 나타났으며, 돈육은 우육에 비해 상대적으로 드립손실량이 적게 나타났으나 송풍식으로 처리한 시료에서 저장 40일째, 7.39%로 가장 높게 나타났다. 동결 우육 및 돈육의 pH변화는 뚜렷한 차이를 나타내지 않았으며, VBN 및 TBA값에 있어서는 균온처리한 시료가 완만 및 급속동결 처리한 타 시료에 비해 저장 200일 까지 가장 변화가 없었다. 동결저장온도의 상하변동에 있어서는, 온도변동 횟수가 증가할수록 pH 및 수분함량은 뚜렷한 변화가 없었으나 드립손실율, VBN 및 TBA값은 온도 변동횟수가 증가할수록 서서히 증가하는 경향을 보여주었다.

To investigate the physio-chemical components and properties of aerosol particles in urban area sampling of aerosol particles was carried out in the campus of Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan, during snowfall. Aerosol particles were collected on millipore filter papers using a low volume air sampler. Their shapes, sizes and chemical components were analyzed by a SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope) and an EDX(Energy Dispersive X-ray). As a results, ice crystals of dendrite and column types were predominantly shown at mature and developing stage of snowfall intensity. The denerite and sector plate types of ice crystals were mainly originated from the sea but column types were come from soil. Scavenging effect by snowfall was greatly also shown at dendrite type ice crystals that embryo was fully developd. Al, Si elements were shown at high frequencies as compared with others. Na, Cl components were especially shown at high frequencies under the sea-breeze wind during snowfall. Anthropogenic aerosol particles had shown with irregular shapes and sizes, relatively. Mainly 3-7$\mu$m aerosol particles were abundant and coarse particles also could be seen during snowfall. Ca, Zn, Fe components mainly caused by spike tires from vehicles in winter season were dominant before snowfall, however the element S mainly caused by human activity was rich after snowfall. The pH values of snow in Sapporo city were higher than those at coastal area. The concentration of chemical components in aerosol particles was also affected by surface winds. Aerosol particles in urban area, Sapporo were mainly affected by human activities like vehicles and combustion with wind system. And their types were related with snowfall intensity.

Denaturation of actomyosin from the obliquely striated mantle muscle of squids (Todarodes pacificus) was studied by measuring the changes in $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase activity, relative viscosity, and solubility during frozen storage at three different temperature zones of maximum ice crystal formation $(-3^{\circ}C,\;-\;-5^{\circ}C)$, the eutectic point $(-11^{\circ}C)$, and $-20^{\circ}C$. The logarithms of $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase activity, relative viscosity and solubility of the actomyosin solutions (0.6 M KCl) and suspensions (0.05 M KCl) tended to decrease during frozen storage. The denaturation of squid actomyosin at the zone of maximum ice crystal formation significantly differed by only two degree of temperature difference between $-3^{\circ}C$ and $-5^{\circ}C$, and it (0.05 M KCl) at $-3^{\circ}C$ was less than those of other temperature. The denaturation at $-11^{\circ}C$ was more rapid than at $-5^{\circ}C$. The logarithms of $Ca^{2+}$ -ATPase activity, relative viscosity, and solubility were changed slower in the suspensions (0.05 M KCl) than the solutions (0.6 M KCl) at all experimental temperatures.

The ultrastructure in the beef muscle of the electro-magnetic resonance and air blast freezing during the frozen storage, and the changes in the quality characteristics after thawing were evaluated. The size of ice crystal was small and evenly formed in the initial freezing period, and it showed that the size was increased as the storage period was elapsed (p<0.05). The beef stored by the electro-magnetic resonance freezing showed the size of ice crystal with a lower rate of increase than the air blast freezing during the frozen storage. The thawing loss of beef stored by the electro-magnetic resonance freezing was significantly lower than the air blast freezing during frozen storage (p<0.05), and it showed that the thawing loss of the round was higher than the loin. Water holding capacity decreased as the storage period became longer while the electro-magnetic resonance freezing was higher than the air blast on 8 month (p<0.05). As a result of sensory evaluation, the beef stored by the electro-magnetic resonance freezing did not show the difference until 4 months, and it showed higher acceptability in comparison with the beef stored by the air blast freezing. Thus, it is considered that the freezing method has an effect on the change in the ultrastructure and quality characteristics of the beef.

방어를 공시어로 하여 빙장($0^{\circ}C$), PF저장($-3^{\circ}C$) 및 동결저장($-20^{\circ}C$)하면서 자장과정중 일어나는 근육 조직의 변화를 현미경적으로 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 빙장의 경우에는 저장 3일째에 glycogen이 소실되고 mitochondria 내막이 퇴행되었으며 근원섬유도 절단되었다. 근원섬유의 절단면은 동근 형태를 나타내었다. PF저장시에도 glycogen이 소실되고 mitochondria가 퇴행되었으나 그 정도는 빙장에 비하여 경미하였다. 저장 3일째에 빙결정이 생성되어 저장기간이 길어질수록 크기와 숫자가 증가되었으나 빙결정의 모양이 둥근 모습이었으며 주된 생성부위가 섬유속 사이로서 myofibril의 손상은 경미하였다. 동결저장시에는 저장 14일까지 glycogen입자가 관찰 되었고 mitochondria도 내막구조를 유지하였으나 저장 3일째부터 섬유속 내부에까지 빙결정이 생성되었으며 이로 인하여 myofibril이 손상되었다. 절단된 섬유속의 선단은 빙장의 경우와는 달리 불규칙한 모습이었다. 이상의 결과로부터 PF저장법이 단기간(약 2주)의 생선저장에는 빙장에 비하여 효소활성이 억제되고 동결저장에 비하여 빙결정에 의한 myofibril의 손상이 적은 효과적인 방법으로 판정되었다.

Purpose: Cold storage is the most popular method used to preserve highly perishable foods such as beef and fish. However, at refrigeration temperatures, the shelf life of these foods is limited, and spoilage leads to massive food waste. Moreover, freezing significantly affects the food's properties. Ice crystallization and growth during freezing can cause irreversible textural damage to foods through volumetric expansion, moisture migration induced by osmotic pressure gradients, and concentration of solutes,which can lead to protein denaturation. Methods: Although freezing can preserve perishable foods for months, these disruptive changes decrease the consumer's perception of the food's quality. Therefore, the development and testing of new and improved cold storage technologies is a worthwhile pursuit. Results: The process of maintaining a food product in an unfrozen state below its equilibrium freezing temperature is known as supercooling. As supercooling has been shown to offer a considerable improvement over refrigeration for extending a perishable product's shelf life, implementation of supercooling in households and commercial refrigeration units would help diminish food waste. Conclusions: A commercially viable supercooling unit for all perishable food items is currently being developed and fabricated. Buildup of this technology will provide a meaningful improvement in the cold storage of perishable foods, and will have a significant impact on the refrigeration market as a whole.

Cryopreservation is a process that preserves organelles, cells, tissues, or any other biological constructs by cooling the samples to very low temperatures. The responses of living cells to ice formation are of theoretical interest and practical relevance. Stem cells and other viable tissues, which have great potential for use in basic research as well as for many medical applications, cannot be stored with simple cooling or freezing for a long time because ice crystal formation, osmotic shock, and membrane damage during freezing and thawing will cause cell death. The successful cryopreservation of cells and tissues has been gradually increasing in recent years, with the use of cryoprotective agents and temperature control equipment. Continuous understanding of the physical and chemical properties that occur in the freezing and thawing cycle will be necessary for the successful cryopreservation of cells or tissues and their clinical applications. In this review, we briefly address representative cryopreservation processes, such as slow freezing and vitrification, and the available cryoprotective agents. In addition, some adverse effects of cryopreservation are mentioned.
