There are many problems that occur currently in agriculture industries. The problems such as unexpected of changing weather condition, lack of labor, dry soil were some of the reasons that may cause the growth of the plants. Condition of the weather in local area is inconsistent due to the global warming effect thus affecting the production of the crops. Furthermore, the loss of farm labor to urban manufacturing jobs is also the problem in this industry. Besides, the condition for the plant like air humidity, air temperature, air quality index, and soil moisture are not being recorded automatically which is more reason for the need of implementation system to monitor the data for future research and development of agriculture industry. As of this, we aim to provide a solution by developing IoT-based platform along with the irrigation for increasing crop quality and productivity in agriculture field. We aim to develop a smart garden system environment which the system is able to auto-monitoring the humidity and temperature of surroundings, air quality and soil moisture. The system also has the capability of automating the irrigation process by analyzing the moisture of soil and the climate condition (like raining). Besides, we aim to develop user-friendly system interface to monitor the data collected from the respective sensor. We adopt an open source hardware to implementation and evaluate this research.

This study was carried out to investigate the quality of white pan breads as affected by various amounts of Terminalia chebula Retz (TC) powder, in which the breads were prepared with 0, 2, 4, and 6% TC powder. The samples and a control bread were compared in terms of bread quality characteristics, including pH, baking loss rate, loaf volume index, moisture content, TBARS values, texture, color, and sensory qualities in order to determine the optimal amount of TC powder in the formulation. The pH levels of the bread samples containing TC powder ranged from 5.30 to 5.44, while the control bread had a pH of 5.68. The loaf volume index values of the samples prepared with 2~6% TC powder were lower than that of the control. After 7 days storage, the moisture content of the control bread had decreased by 14.4%, while the moisture contents of the breads with added TC powder had decreased by approximately 8~10%. The breads with TC powder had lower TBARS values as compared to the control bread. For texture characteristics, hardness increased with the addition of TC powder, and was especially increased in the sample containing 6% TC powder. Cohesiveness and springiness, however, decreased with the addition of TC powder. For color, lightness of the bread crust and crumb decreased with the addition of TC powder, whereas redness and yellowness increased. In terms of sensory quality, the bread containing 2% TC powder was preferred over the control bread, as estimated by appearance, crust color, taste, and overall quality, while the 6% TC bread had the lowest preference scores. These results suggest that the addition of 2% TC powder to white pan bread had optimal effects for improving shelf-life and enhancing bread quality.

The number of newly constructed traditional Korean houses, i.e., Hanoks, and light-frame buildings is increasing. However, related research is limited owing to the lack of awareness regarding safety evaluations. Therefore, this study conducted an outdoor exposure test to accurately evaluate wooden constructions. Spruce, pine, and fir (SPF) material was monitored for a year, wherein the SPF material was artificially dried under 18% moisture content, and its physical properties and color differences were measured once a month. Large differences were observed in the material's weight and moisture content, which are indexes sensitive to daily range and rainfall; however, no significant difference was found for other basic properties in the pre and post test results. Herein, $L^*$, $a^*$, and $b^*$ values represent color differences; these values exhibited a general decrease after the test. Such differences were attributed to the loss of lignin in the wood. The color difference value was high between the months of May and July, when the daily range and rainfall significantly fluctuated. Multiple regression analysis was performed on the $a^*$ value (redness indicator), daily range, rainfall, and ultraviolet index. The results indicated that the daily range influenced redness the most. According to the estimated regression equation, the daily range and redness are positively correlated. Based on the results, the types and influence of independent variables on color difference are expected to change as the wood's duration of outdoor exposure and the amount of data obtained both increase.

강우-유출 모의 과정에서 유효강우는 토양수분을 고려하여 산정되며, 이러한 토양수분을 강우-유출 모형에 반영하기 위해서는 직접 관측된 자료를 활용하거나, 모형 내부에서 간접적으로 산정한다. 본 연구에서 사용한 강우-유출 모형은 유역의 기온에 따른 유역습윤지수(Catchment Wetness Index, CWI)를 산정하고, CWI와 강수량의 조합을 통해 산정되는 토양수분지수(Soil Moisture Index, SMI)를 직접 활용하여 유효강우 및 유출량을 계산하는 IHACRES 모형을 사용하여 연구를 수행했다. 합천댐 유역을 대상으로 CWI와 유효강우 간의 관계가 장기 유출 산정에 미치는 영향에 대해 연구한 결과, CWI와 유효강우는 비선형적인 관계를 가짐을 확인하였으며 이러한 비선형 관계는 장기 유출 모의에 있어 홍수기 보다 비홍수기에서 더 많은 영향을 미침을 확인하였다. CWI가 장기 유출에 미치는 영향을 자세히 분석하고자, 보정기간(2002~2004년)과 검정기간(2005~2007년)으로 나누어 가변 CWI와 일정 CWI 조건하에서 유황에 따른 유출모의성능을 분석하였다. 분석결과 전반적으로 가변 CWI의 결과가 일정 CWI의 결과에 비하여 우수하게 나타났다. 풍수기에서 결정계수는 평수기나 갈수기에 비하여 높은 값을 보이고 있으나 가변 CWI와 일정 CWI간에 차이는 크지 않았다. 이는 강수량이 많은 시기의 유출의 경우 기온에 따른 증발 및 토양수분에 대한 민감도가 상대적으로 작다는 것을 의미한다. 반면, 풍수기에 비해 유출량이 적은 평수기와 갈수기에서는 가변 CWI의 평가지표가 더 우수한 결과를 보이고 있어, 평갈수량을 포함한 장기유출모의시 기온을 고려한 증발과 이에따른 토양수분의 고려가 유출량 산정에 상당한 영향을 미침을 확인할 수 있다. NSE의 경우 풍수기가 평갈수기보다 다소 떨어지는 경향을 볼 수 있으나 NSE가 이상치의 영향을 크게 받는 지표이므로 유량 절대값이 큰 풍수기에서는 당연한 결과라 볼 수 있으며, 그럼에도 전체적으로는 0.9이상의 양호한 수치를 보여주고 있다. 풍수기에는 기온에 따른 CWI가 크게 영향을 미치지 못하지만, 유출량이 적은 평 갈수기에서 CWI의 활용이 장기 유출 모의 정확도를 개선할 수 있을 것이라 사료된다.

In this study, we evaluate the effect of gelatin coating and sonication of wet-aged pork loin on quality. The moisture content of wet-aged pork loin with sonication and gelatin coating was the highest in the G5S sample (5% gelatin coating and sonication), while the moisture content of wet-aged pork loin with sonication was higher than that without sonication. The pH of wet-aged pork loin with sonication was lower than that without sonication. The aging loss of 5% gelatin coating with sonication was significantly lower than that of G0 (control), while the cooking loss was the lowest in G0 wet-aged pork loin. The water holding capacity of the wet-aged pork loin was the highest in G1. The thiobarbituric acid reactive substances value of wet-aged pork loin was significantly decreased with coating and not affected by sonication. The gelatin coating and sonication treatment significantly increased the myofibrillar fragmentation index of the samples. Shear force of wet-aged pork loin significantly decreased as the samples were gelatin-coated and sonicated. The myofibrillar and total protein solubilities were not significantly different between samples. In conclusion, the 1% gelatin coating with sonication can enhance the quality of wet-aged pork loin.

A study was conducted to compare the quality characteristics among commercial broiler, Wangchoo (imported dual purpose breed) and Korean native chicken(KNC). Thigh and breast meat of the broiler(7-wk old), Wangchoo(15-wk old), and Korean native chicken(15-wk old) stored for 24 h at 5t were used to analyze chemical composition, physico-chemical characteristics, textural traits and sensory evaluation test. Crude fat and moisture contents in broiler meat and crude protein content in KNC were significantly(P<.05) higher than those in the other breeds regardless of parts of the body. Total collagen content in broiler meat was significantly higher than those of the other breeds, however, the heat-soluble and the acid-soluble collagen content in Wangchoo were significantly lower than those of the other breeds. Water-holding capacities of KNC in breast meat, and of broiler in leg meat were significantly higher than that of the other breeds, while the results of the water-holding capacity and the cooking loss were reversed. Myofibrillar fragmentation index in broiler meat was significantly higher than that in the other breeds regardless of body parts. Hardness, elasticity and cohesiveness in Wangchoo were significantly higher than those in the other breeds. The prominent fatty acids were oleic, palmitic and linoleic acids and run up to 79.03~83.82 %, regardless of breeds and parts. The sensory evaluation score of tenderness, taste and preference in Wangchoo were lower compared to the broiler and KNC, however, they were not significantly different between broiler and KNC. In conclusion, the quality characteristics of KNC were excellent compared to Wangchoo.

Tea flavonoids and polyphenols are well known for their extraordinary antioxidant activity which is considered important for anti-aging processes in animals. This study evaluated the anti-wrinkle effects of three different kinds of tea (Camellia sinensis) water extracts (CSWEs) including green, white, and black teas using a photoaged hairless mouse model. Data showed that the CSWE-treatment greatly improved skin conditions of mice suffering from UVB-induced photoaging, based on the parameters including the skin erythema index, moisture capacity, and transepidermal water loss. In addition, the wrinkle measurement and image analysis of skin replicas indicated that CSWEs remarkably inhibited wrinkle formation. In histological examination, the CSWE-treated mice exhibited diminished epidermal thickness and increased collagen and elastic fiber content, key signatures for skin restoration. Furthermore, the reduced expression of MMP-3, a collagen-degradative enzyme, was observed in the skin of CSWE-treated animals. Interestingly, comparative data between green, white, and black tea indicated that the anti-wrinkle activity of white tea and black tea is equally greater than that of green tea. Taken together, these data clearly demonstrated that CSWEs could be used as an effective anti-wrinkle agent in photoaged animal skin, implying their extended uses in therapeutics.
