Objectives: The principal aim of this study was to compare the concentrations of gaseous pollutants emitted in enclosed pig buildings between different rates of general ventilation and determine the variations in the patterns of gaseous pollutants as affected by ventilation rate. Materials and Methods: The experiment was performed in the growing/finishing room($20.0m{\times}12.0m{\times}3.0m$) of a pig confinement building located on the experimental farm of Seoul National University. The conditions of the general ventilation rate for three treatments were 30%($4.12m^3s^{-1}$), 50%($6.87m^3s^{-1}$) and 70%($9.61m^3s^{-1}$). The data presented in the study were collected overa total of 45 days, 15 days for each of the three treatments from March to May 2011. A total of six air samplings were taken at 1.5m above the floor of the pig building. The environmental agents measured in the pig building were ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and odor concentration index for gaseous pollutants with temperature and hydrogen sulfide for thermal factors. Results: There were significant differences in the ammonia and odor concentration index in the pig building among the three general ventilation rate conditions(p<0.05), whereas hydrogen sulfide did not show a significant difference among three conditions of general ventilation rate(p>0.05). As the general ventilation rate applied to the pig building increases, it appears that all the indoor environmental agents measured in this study simultaneously decrease. Conclusions: The gaseous pollutants significantly affected by the general ventilation rate in pig building were ammonia and odor concentration index(p<0.05). However, it was found that hydrogen sulfide and thermal factors, temperature and relative humidity were not influenced significantly by variation in the general ventilation rate.

효율적인 악취방지책을 수립하고 시행하는 것은 지속가능한 축산 뿐만 아니라 증가되는 악취 민원과 더욱 엄격해지는 법규에 대응하기 위해 필수적이다. 본 연구는 돈분뇨의 처리방법에 따른 액상분뇨 유래 악취 및 처리방법이 다른 액상분뇨를 토양에 살포시 발생하는 악취 및 악취물질을 평가하기 위하여 수행되었다. 시험에 사용된 액상분뇨는 신선 분뇨, 혐기성 소화 액상분뇨 및 고온 호기성 소화 액상분뇨를 이용하였고, 토양 특성이 다른 논/밭 토양을대상으로 총 6처리 5반복 설계 배치하였다. 시료 포집은 관능법과 기기분석법에 사용될 시료를 각각 주사기와 테들러 백을 이용하여 액상분뇨와 액상분뇨를 살포한 토양의 상부공간에서 채취하였다. 악취 분석은 관능법을 이용하여 악취강도 및 불쾌도를 평가하였고, 기기분석법으로는 질소화합물 악취물질인 암모니아를 흡광광도법, 황화합물 악취물질인 황화수소, 메틸머캅탄, 다이메틸설파이드 및 다이메틸다이설파이드를 GC-PFPD를 이용하여 분석하였다. 처리과정이 다른 액상분뇨의 악취 및 악취물질 발생 평가에서 고온 호기성 소화 액상분뇨가 신선 분뇨 및 혐기성 소화 액상분뇨에 비해 악취강도, 불쾌도 및 악취농도 저감 효과가 매우 두드러지게 나타났으며 통계적으로도 유의적인 차이가 인정되었다. 혐기성 소화 액상분뇨와 고온 호기성 소화 액상분뇨에서 발생되는 황화수소, 메틸머캅탄, 다이메틸설파이드, 다이메틸다이설파이드 및 암모니아의 평균농도는 각각 65.93 : 5.15 ppb, 18.55 : 0.97ppb, 5.26 : 0.80ppb, 0.33 : 0.56ppb 및 10.57 : 1.34ppm으로 분석되었다. 액상분뇨를 밭과 논 토양에 살포시 혐기성 소화 액상분뇨와 고온 호기성 소화 액상분뇨가 각각 51～94% 및 22～91%의 암모니아 저감 효율을 나타내었다. 본 시험의 결과를 종합할 때 고온 호기성 소화 액상분뇨가 악취 저감이라는 측면에서 다른 처리방법에 비해 우수한 것으로 나타났으며, 액상분뇨의 토양환원에서 발생되는 악취문제는 액상분뇨의 처리방법에 따른 악취발생 정도와 직접적인 연관이 있다고 사료된다.

This study aimed to determine the effects of floral fragrances on human brain waves and moods. A total of 44 subjects participated in this experiment. Group 1 consisted of 11 male and 14 female college students with a mean age of 24.5 years (${\pm}2.23$) and Group 2 consisted of 10 males and 9 females with a mean age of 54.3 years (${\pm}2.98$). Subjects were exposed to floral fragrances of Rosa hybrida, 'Hera' (hereafter referred to as "rose"), Cymbidium faberi (hereafter referred to as "orchid"), or odorless control flowers (hereafter referred to as "control"). Experiments took place in three rooms (rose, orchid, and control). Electroencephalographs (EEGs) were recorded during exposure to the odors and the data were processed using quantitative electroencephalographic (QEEG) techniques. The changing EEG patterns were analyzed by brain mapping and compressed spectral arrays, and the subjects' preferences (hedonic evaluations) were quantified with an A1 index. Increased activation of absolute alpha waves was verified on six of the eight EEG channels, with the right frontal and left occipital lobes exhibiting no changes and the left parietal region showing the greatest activation. According to the QEEG measurements in the electrode sites over the frontal, temporal, parietal, and occipital lobes, the strongest absolute alpha waves were induced in the parietal lobes, followed by the temporal lobes, with the other lobes showing no significant changes. On brain maps, the orchid fragrance induced greater absolute alpha and absolute mid-beta activities compared with the rose and control fragrances, and the rose fragrance induced high absolute mid-beta activation. To identify emotional responses to floral fragrances, the subjects were requested to fill in a questionnaire and the resulting odor-related emotional descriptors were analyzed using semantic differential and factor analysis. Principal component analysis identified "elegant" as the first principal component describing the floral fragrance, followed by "refreshing" and "aromatic." The subjects gave orchid higher scores for "elegant" and "refreshing," while finding rose more "aromatic." Differences in hedonic evaluation revealed by the A1 index appeared in the 65-115 sec range of scent exposure time. The subjects with ages of around 50 years showed olfactory preferences throughout the entire experimental time of 160 sec, most markedly in the later time segment (115-165 sec), showing an increasing preference with increasing exposure time. We conclude that rose fragrance can improve concentration by creating an aromatic environment conducive to a concentrated and calm state of mind, and orchid fragrance can make people feel pampered and relaxed by creating an elegant and refreshing environment.

Fusobacterium nucleatum is a morbific agent in periodontitis and halitosis. Egg yolk antibody (IgY) was obtained from egg yolks from chickens stimulated with F. nucleatum. This study was to assess the effectiveness of IgY on periodontitis and halitosis caused by F. nucleatum in vitro and in vivo. The growth of F. nucleatum was inhibited (p <0.05) by different concentrations of IgY in vitro and the results of a Halimeter show volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) were reduced to $904{\pm}57ppb$ at a concentration 40 mg/ml of IgY. The changes of fatty acids of F. nucleatum were determined using GC-MS. The scores for odor index of rat saliva were decreased. The major constituent of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) including short-chain acids decreased 46.2% in 10 mg/ml IgY, ammonia decreased 70% in 40 mg/ml IgY, while aldehydes and olefine ketones were almost unchanged. The ELISA assay revealed that IL-6 and TNF-${\alpha}$ were decreased after 4 weeks' IgY treatment. Morphometric (X-ray) and histological analyses (HE) showed that IgY reduced alveolar bone loss and collagen fibers became orderly in rat models. As a result, IgY may have the potential to treat periodontitis and halitosis.

The effect of different phytogenic feed additives on reducing odorous compounds in swine was investigated using in vitro fermentation and analyzed their microbial communities. Soybean meal (1%) added with 0.1% different phytogenic feed additives (FA) were in vitro fermented using swine fecal slurries and anaerobically incubated for 12 and 24 h. The phytogenic FAs used were red ginseng barn powder (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer, FA1), persimmon leaf powder (Diospyros virginiana L., FA2), ginkgo leaf powder (Ginkgo biloba L., FA3), and oregano lippia seed oil extract (Lippia graveolens Kunth, OL, FA4). Total gas production, pH, ammonianitrogen ($NH_3$-N), hydrogen sulfide ($H_2S$), nitrite-nitrogen ($NO_2{^-}$-N), nitrate-nitrogen ($NO_3{^-}$-N), sulfate (${SO_4}^{--}$), volatile fatty acids (VFA) and other metabolites concentration were determined. Microbial communities were also analyzed using 16S rRNA DGGE. Results showed that the pH values on all treatments increased as incubation time became longer except for FA4 where it decreased. Moreover, FA4 incubated for 12 and 24 h was not detected in $NH_3$-N and $H_2S$. Addition of FAs decreased (p<0.05) propionate production but increased (p<0.05) the total VFA production. Ten 16S rRNA DGGE bands were identified which ranged from 96 to 100% identity which were mostly isolated from the intestine. Similarity index showed three clearly different clusters: I (FA2 and FA3), II (Con and FA1), and III (FA4). Dominant bands which were identified closest to Eubacterium limosum (ATCC 8486T), Uncultured bacterium clone PF6641 and Streptococcus lutetiensis (CIP 106849T) were present only in the FA4 treatment group and were not found in other groups. FA4 had a different bacterial diversity compared to control and other treatments and thus explains having lowest odorous compounds. Addition of FA4 to an enriched protein feed source for growing swine may effectively reduce odorous compounds which are typically associated with swine production.

본 연구는 흑마늘을 기능성 화장품 소재로 활용하기 위하여 그 기능성을 in vitro에서 tyrosinase 및 elastase 저해 활성을 측정한 결과 피부노화에 관여하는 두 효소의 활성을 모두 저해하였다. 흑마늘 추출물을 hartley계 기니픽 수컷을 사용하여 피부 1차 자극 실험을 실시한 결과 1차 피부자극지수(P.I.I.)가 0.23으로 practically non-irritation(비자극성)에 해당하는 자극으로 피부 자극이 거의 없었음을 알 수 있었다. Maximization test법으로 피부 감작성을 확인한 결과 시험물질에 의한 홍반과 부종 등이 전혀 유발되지 않았다. 이상의 결과로부터 흑마늘 추출물에 대한 기니픽의 피부 감작율은 0%로, 피부에 대한 피부 감작성이 없는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 이러한 본 연구의 결과는 흑마늘 추출물이 기능성 화장품 소재로 피부노화를 억제하는 기능성과 안전성확보된 소재임을 추정할 수 있었다.
