5와 $23^{\circ}C$의 저장 조건에서 이산화염소 가스 처리 방법에 따른 방울토마토의 품질 변화를 용기 내 기체조성, 중량감소율, 경도, 당성분, pH, 색도, 총균수로 평가하였다. 이산화염소 가스 처리방법은 고농도 단시간 전처리 I(5 ppm, 10분) 및 전처리 II(10 ppm, 3분)과 저농도 지속적인 처리(1 ppm, 매일 1번 처리)를 하여 이산화염소 가스 무처리군과 비교 실험하였다. 방울토마토에 이산화염소 가스 처리를 하였을 경우 방울토마토의 호흡률, 총균수, 부패율을 낮춰주고 경도와 당성분 함량을 유지시키는 효과가 있었지만 이산화염소 가스의 처리는 방울토마토의 pH와 색도에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 또한 이산화염소 가스 처리 방법에서도 이산화염소 가스 고농도 단시간 전처리 방법들(I, II)보다 저농도 이산화염소 가스의 지속적인 처리가 방울토마토의 호흡률, 총균수, 부패율, 경도, 당성분 함량 관찰에서 품질 유지에 더욱 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 '유니콘' 방울토마토는 저농도 지속적인 이산화염소 가스 처리가 전체적으로 유통기한 연장에 큰 효과를 보였으며, 이러한 결과를 토대로 유통기간 중 저농도의 이산화염소 가스를 지속적으로 방출하는 포장 시스템을 고려하여 적용할 경우 수출용 토마토의 선도유지에 충분히 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate important human factors that should be considered when developing ultra-high definition TVs by reviewing measurement methods and main characteristics of ultra-high definition displays. Background: Although much attention has been paid to high-definition displays, there have been few studies for systematically evaluating human factors. Method: In order to determine human factors to be considered in developing human-friendly displays, we reviewed subjective and objective measurement methods to figure out the current limitations and establish a guideline for developing human-centered ultra-high definition TVs. In doing so, pros and cons of both subjective and objective measurement methods for assessing humans factors were discussed and specific aspects of ultra-high definition displays were also investigated in the literature. Results: Hazardous effects such as visually-induced motion sickness, visual fatigue, and mental fatigue in the brain caused by undesirable TV viewing are induced by not only temporal decay of visual function but also cognitive load in processing sophisticated external information. There has been a growing evidence that individual differences in visual and cognitive ability to process external information can make contrary responses after exposing to the same viewing situation. A wide vision, ultra-high definition TVs provide, can has positive and negative influences on viewers depending on their individual characteristics. Conclusion: Integrated measurement methods capable of considering individual differences in human visual system are required to clearly determine potential effects of super-high vision displays with a wide view on humans. All of brainwaves, autonomic responses, eye functions, and psychological responses should be simultaneously examined and correlated. Application: The results obtained in this review are expected to be a guideline for determining optimized viewing factors of ultra-high definition displays and accelerating successful penetration of the next-generation displays into our daily life.

The potential factors for quality loss of cleaned fresh ginseng and technology to be associated with the improvement of marketability through pre-packaging fumigation were examined. Major microorganisms isolated from fresh ginseng included Botrytis cinerea, and Erwinia sp. Others such as Cylindrocarpon sp., Fusarium spp., Pennicilium spp., Bacillus spp. were also found at relatively low frequency. The bacterial density of vacuum packaged fresh ginseng rapidly increased during simulated marketing. Little correlation between bacterial growth and package swelling was found. In order to improve packaging method of fresh ginseng, pre-packaging treatment of 2-phenylethyl alcohol (PE, 100 uL/L, 4 hr) was examined. The fumigation treatment effectively inhibited the growth of bacteria density and also effective on keeping firmness of ginseng root, especially in cortical portion. The internal gas compositions of plastic container packaged for ginseng were approximately ranged between 6 to 8% $O_2$and 3 to 4% $CO_2$. The $O_2$ level of fumigation treatment was lower than control whereas $CO_2$ level was higher. The upsurge of ethylene evolution I day after simulated marketing was found only in fumigation treatment but it returned to ordinary level at day 2. The sucrose content of 2-PE treatment was significantly reduced at 5 days after simulated marketing but reducing sugars like glucose and fructose remained at higher level. The difference in sugar levels was reduced after 10 days of simulated marketing. The decay of fresh ginseng began at the lateral or fine root, which is weak to physical damage, in general. The epidermis was more damaged. Plastic container packaging with PE fumigation could be an alternative to vacuum packaging, which allows an aerobic environment and prevents anaerobic respiration. Further study of pre-package fumigation is required to improve technology of fresh ginseng marketing.

MOCVD로 성장된 $A1_x$$Ga_{1-x}$N/GaN 박막의 광학적 특성을 이해하기 위하여 실온에서 광발광(PL), 광전류)PC), 광단속에 의한 광권도도(PPC) 측정하였다. PL과 PC로 결정된 $A1_x$$Ga_{1-x}$N/GaN 박막의 광학적 에너지 간격은 3.7eV 이었다. PC측정 시 빛을 시료의 위쪽에서 조사시켰을 때에는 3.70, 3.40eV의 peak와 2.2eV 근방에서 broad한 peak가 관측되었다. 그러나 기판 쪽에서 빛을 조사시켰을 때의 PC 스펙트럼은 2.2eV 근방에서 broad한 peak와 3.43eV peak 만을 볼 수 있었다. PPC실험에서 관측된 photocurrent quenching과 비정상적인 PPC현상은 GaN 띠간격내에 형성된 전위나 vacancy 등의 결정결함 준위내에 전자들이 포획되고 오랫동안 포화되어 있다가 다시 방전되는 현상으로 보인다.

Details of carrier dynamics in self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) with a particular attention to nonradiative processes are not only interesting for fundamental physics, but it is also relevant to performance of optoelectronic devices and the exploitation of nanocrystals in practical applications. In general, the possible processes in such systems can be considered as radiative relaxation, carrier transfer between dots of different dimensions, Auger nonradiactive scattering, thermal escape from the dot, and trapping in surface and/or defects states. Authors of recent studies have proposed a mechanism for the carrier dynamics of time-resolved photoluminescence CdTe (a type II-VI QDs) systems. This mechanism involves the activation of phonons mediated by electron-phonon interactions. Confinement of both electrons and holes is strongly dependent on the thermal escape process, which can include multi-longitudinal optical phonon absorption resulting from carriers trapped in QD surface defects. Furthermore, the discrete quantized energies in the QD density of states (1S, 2S, 1P, etc.) arise mainly from ${\delta}$-functions in the QDs, which are related to different orbitals. Multiple discrete transitions between well separated energy states may play a critical role in carrier dynamics at low temperature when the thermal escape processes is not available. The decay time in QD structures slightly increases with temperature due to the redistribution of the QDs into discrete levels. Among II-VI QDs, wide-gap CdZnTe QD structures characterized by large excitonic binding energies are of great interest because of their potential use in optoelectronic devices that operate in the green spectral range. Furthermore, CdZnTe layers have emerged as excellent candidates for possible fabrication of ferroelectric non-volatile flash memory. In this study, we investigated the optical properties of CdZnTe/ZnTe QDs on Si substrate grown using molecular beam epitaxy. Time-resolved and temperature-dependent PL measurements were carried out in order to investigate the temperature-dependent carrier dynamics and the activation energy of CdZnTe/ZnTe QDs on Si substrate.

Anaerobic digestion is one of the well-known methods for biological treatment handling of concentrated organic matter such as swine $wastewater.^{1)} The anaerobic digestion can reduce organic loading but also hydrolyze non-biodegradable organic $matter.^{2)}$ The feces from the scrapper-type barn are usually collected to make compost and the urine is discarded with swine-slurry wastewater by ocean-dumping or treated by biological methods. The lagoon, aerobic digestion, anaerobic digestion, SBR, $A^{2}/O$, and UCT have been applied for treating swine $wastewater.^{3)} In this study, as a result of the analysis of swine wastewater, the total and soluble chemical oxygen demand was 130g/L and 60g/L, respectively. And the volatile fatty acid as chemical oxygen demand equivalent was 45g/L, which was 75% of soluble chemical oxygen demand. Before everything else, ammonia nitrogen concentration was 6.5 g/L. From biochemical acidogenic potential test, it was concluded that the enhanced acidification process to manage swine waste should be operated in the ammonia nitrogen concentration of less than 1.2 g/L. In the result of seeding ratio experiments with artificial $wastewater^{4)}, the lag period of acidogens was taken the long time because of the inhibition by the $ammonia^{5)}$, however no difference of period by the seeding ratio was not shown. The Haldane-based biokinetics were also evaluated using a method of fourth order Runge-Kutta $approximation.^{6,7)}$ The nonlinear least squares (NLLS) method with a 95% confidence interval was also used. The ranges of maximum microbial growth rate, ${/mu_{max}}$, and half saturation coefficient, $K_{s}$, for acidogenesis of various seeding ratio with artificial wastewater were 6.1 ~ 12.6 $d^{-1}$ and 45,000 ~ 53,500 mg glucose/L, respectively. Also, the methanogenic microbial yield coefficient, Y, and microbial decay rate coefficient, $k_{d}$, and inhibition substrate concentration, $K_{si}$, for the reactors were determined to be 0.32 ~ 0.465 ${/mu}g$/mg glucose; 0.42 ~ 1.01 $d^{-1}$ and 51,500 ~ 55,600 mg glucose/L, respectively.

균열암반에서 콜로이드를 동반한 방사성 핵종의 이동을 핵종붕괴사슬과 주변암반으로제한적 분자확산을 고려하여 모사하였다. 암반 내 핵종 이동을 모사하기 위한 핵종이동 시스템과 지배 방정식 및 초기/경계 조건을 설정하여 반 해석해를 도출하였으며, 수치적 라플라스 역변환을통하여 반해석해의 검증을 실시하였다. 유사콜로이드의 반응상수가 균열 내에 미치는 영향과 콜로이드의 여과작용이 핵종이동에 미치는 영향 그리고 주변 암반으로 제한적 확산이 핵종이동에 미치는 영향에 대하여 알아보았다. 지하수 내에 존재하는 유사 콜로이드의 양이 많아질수록 균열 내 방사성 핵종이동의 가속현상이 크게 나타났으며 여과 계수가 모든 핵종에 대하여 $10^{-3}$ (m$^{-1}$)보다 클 경우 여과에 의한 핵종 지연을 무시할 수 없었다. 콜로이드 존재로 인한 핵종가속과 더불어, 주변암반으로 방사성핵종의 분자확산이 제한적일 경우에 예측된 핵종가속현상은 확산깊이가 적을수록 더 커지는 것을 알 수 있었고, 이때 가속에 영향을 주는 유효확산깊이가 존재하는 것을 발견할 수 있었다. 또한 주변암반의 저지계수가 클수록 제한적 확산깊이에 따른 핵종들의 가속범위의 증가를 볼 수 있었다.

The objective of this study is the evaluation of the performance of a large-scale respirometer (LSR) of 17.7 L in the determination of the methane generation rate constant (k) values. To achieve this objective, a comparison between anaerobic (GB21) and LSR tests was conducted. The data were modeled using a linear function, and the resulting correlation coefficient ($R^2$) of the linear regression is 0.91. This result shows that despite the aerobic conditions, the biodegradability values that were obtained from the LSR test produced results that are similar to those from the GB21 test. In this respect, the LSR test can be an indicator of the anaerobic biodegradability for landfill waste. In addition, the results show the high repeatability of the tests with an average coefficient of variance (CV) that is lower than 10%; furthermore, the CV for the LSR is lower than that of the GB21, which indicates that the LSR-test method could provide a better representation of waste samples. Therefore, the LSR method allows for both the prediction of the long-term biodegradation potential in a shorter length of time and the reduction of the sampling errors that are caused by the heterogeneity of waste samples. The k values are $0.156y^{-1}$ and $0.127y^{-1}$ for the cumulative biogas production (GB21) and the cumulative oxygen uptake for the LSR, respectively.

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-ergic inhibition is important in the function of the visual cortex. In a previous study, we reported a developmental increase in $GABA_A$ receptor-mediated inhibition in the rat visual cortex from 3 to 5 weeks of age. Because this developmental increase is crucial to the regulation of the induction of long-term synaptic plasticity, in the present study we investigated in detail the postnatal development of phasic and tonic inhibition. The amplitude of phasic inhibition evoked by electrical stimulation increased during development from 3 to 8 weeks of age, and the peak time and decay kinetics of inhibitory postsynaptic potential (IPSP) and current (IPSC) slowed progressively. Since the membrane time constant decreased during this period, passive membrane properties might not be involved in the kinetic changes of IPSP and IPSC. Tonic inhibition, another mode of $GABA_A$ receptor-mediated inhibition, also increased developmentally and reached a plateau at 5 weeks of age. These results indicate that the time course of the postnatal development of GABAergic inhibition matched well that of the functional maturation of the visual cortex. Thus, the present study provides significant insight into the roles of inhibitory development in the functional maturation of the visual cortical circuits.

심부 및 천부 지질 환경을 갖는 지하 모암 내의 방사성 폐기물 처분장으로부터 유출된 핵종은 다양한 인공 및 지하 매질을 거쳐 궁극적으로 인간 생태환경으로 도달하게 된다. 그 결과로 인간에게 주는 피폭선량률을 정량적으로 계산하는 것은 처분안전성 평가의 최종 단계가 된다. 방사성폐기물에 포함된 핵종에 대해 붕괴사슬을 고려하고 방사성폐기물처분 시스템의 주요한 부분을 이루는 생태계를 구획으로 모델링 한 후 이들 구획간의 핵종이동에 대한 전이계수를 적용하여 동적 구획모델을 기반으로 하는 AMBER를 이용한 케이스화일로서 ACBIO템플릿을 개발하고 이를 이용하여 각 핵종별 선량환산인자를 평가해 보았다.
