In recent, the integrated water resources management should consider not only existing management objects such as water supply, power generation, and instream flows but also new management objects such as water quantity, water quality, and water habitats which management system is large and complex. Moreover, integrated basin plan or operation are needed for solving conflicts problems between basins and between water usages and to maximize water resources usages. To increase use of optimization method for actual operation and apply various objects, a reservoir operation rule was developed and the KModSim's hydrologic states for integrated water resources management were tested in this study. The simulation results show that the developed operation rules applied in hydrologic states good represent the actual storages of both the Yongdam and the Daecheong Reservoirs so, it is possible to improve the water allocation method usually used in the basin management and manage the integrated basin water resources if new operating rules are applied in optimized programming.

Alternaria mali isolated from infected apples in storages and orchards of the four main apple growing areas of Taegu, Yesan, Jungup and Chungju in Korea was tested with various fungicides added in PSA medium. The fungal tolerance varied with little difference by orchard area and with great difference by king and concentration of fungicide. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of chlorothalonil and captafol was $100,238{\mu}g\;and\;81,000{\mu}g/ml$, respectively, showing low effects with high fungal tolerance; of iprodione and folpet was $3,285{\mu}g\;and\;3,000{\mu}g/ml$, respectively, showing moderate effects with moderate fungal tolerance; and of oxidong, polyoxin and polydong was $1,000{\mu}g,\;900{\mu}g\;and\;500{\mu}g/ml$, respectively, showing high effects with low fungal tolerance. Mycelial growth, conidia formation and conidia germination of the fungus showed a similar trend of response to the seven fungicides.

This paper proposes a fully-utilized block-based 2D DWT architecture, which consists of four 1D DWT filters with two-channel QMF PR Lattice structure. For 100% hardware utilization, we propose a new method which processes four input values at the same time. On the contrary to the image-based 2D DWT which requires large memories, we propose a block-based 2D DWT so that we only need 2MN-3N of storages, where M and N stand for filter lengths and width of the image respectively. Furthermore, the proposed architecture processes in horizontal and vertical directions simultaneously so that it computes the DWT for an $N{\times}N$ image within a period of $N^2(1-2^{-2J})/3$. Compared to existing approaches, the proposed architecture shows 100% of hardware utilization and high throughput rate. However, the proposed architecture may suffer from the long critical path delay due to the cascaded lattices in 1D DWT filters. This problem can be mitigated by applying the pipeline technique with maximum four level. The proposed architecture has been designed with VerilogHDL and synthesized using DongbuAnam $0.18{\mu}m$ standard cell.

Bacterial mutagenicity of shellfish or canned products of red-muscle fish affected by hot-airdry processings and/or during storages was investigated by Ames preincubation method. Mussel (Mytilus edulis) and surf clam (Tapes japonica) dried under either 40$\circ$C, 50$\circ$C or 60$\circ$C until remained about 25 % water content was stored at 4$\circ$C or 25$\circ$C for 6 months. Commercially available canned product of pacific saury (Cololabis saira) and mackerel saury (Scotnberjaponicus), whose producer or date of manufacture was identical each other, was stored at 25$\circ$C for 6 months. Mutagenic substances from sample (25 g dry weight) were extracted and purified for mutagenicity assay against S. typhitnurium TA98 by the simultaneous distillation extraction (SDE) method (Lee et al. 1955). Mutagenicity of sample was expressed number of revertant per 25 g dry sample. Number of revertant from unheated mussel sample was appeared to be 135, relative to 22 from unheated surf clam sample. Mutagenicity of both shellfish was strongly affected by heat treatment, but a lesser extent by storage conditions, even at 25$\circ$C for 6 months. Revertants of the mussel sample dried at 40$\circ$C, 50$\circ$C, or 60$\circ$C was found to be 227, 779, and 883, respectively. Similar, but lower, mutagenicity was observed from the sample of surf clam dried at 40$\circ$C, 50$\circ$C, or 60$\circ$C than mussel. Mutagenicity of canned pacific saury and mackerel samples was not influenced by storage conditions. Number of revertant from pacific saury was 175 which was relatively higher than 5 from mackerel. Mutagenicity of fresh pacific saury and mackerel samples was significantly higher than that of their counterparts from canned products. These results indicate that mutagenicity of the shellfish was affected by heat treatment (40$\circ$C, 50$\circ$C, or 60$\circ$C) used for drying process, but not much by storage for 6 months at 4$\circ$C or 25$\circ$C and the mutagenicity of canned products of red-muscle fish was not influenced by storage, even at 25$\circ$C for 6 months.

The objective of this study was to control Kimchi fermentation using pH sensitive bacteriocin entrapping liposome(bacteriocin-liposome). The liposomes were prepared by the reverse-phase evaporation method from a mixture of DPPC(dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine, DPPE(dipalmitoyl phosphatidylethanolamine), DOPC(dioleoyl phosphatidylcholine) and cholesterol in a molar ration of 4:2:1:4. The bacteriocin-liposome was disruptured at pH 4 of buffer and was stable at alkaline pHs(6 and 7). Irrespective of the addition of the bacteriocin-liposomes, the pH of every Kimchi sample decreased to 5 during 5 days storage at 5$^{\circ}C$. Kimchi samples treated with bacteriocin-liposomes maintained pH 4 or higher, while Kimchi samples not treated with bacteriocin-liposomes exhibited pH 3.58 or lower. In general, the pH of Kimchi samples stored at 20$^{\circ}C$ decreased faster, compared to that of Kimchi samples stored at 5$^{\circ}C$. The pH of Kimchi samples treated with the bacteriocin-liposomes was 3.9 during 90 days storage, while that of the samples not treated with the bacteriocin-liposomes was 3.68 and 3.32 during 30 days and 90 days storages, respectively. Lactic acid bacteria in Kimchi treated with the bacteriocin-liposome grew relatively slow at 5$^{\circ}C$. The viable cell number of lactic acid bacteria increased up to 4${\times}$10$\^$7/ cells/ml and then decreased to 8${\times}$10$\^$6/ cells/ml during 90 days storage at 5$^{\circ}C$.

As OWL(Web Ontology Language) has been selected as a standard ontology description language by W3C, many ontologies have been building and developing in OWL. The lena developed by HP as an Application Programming Interface(API) provides various APIs to develop inference engines as well as storages, and it is widely used for system development. However, the storage model of Jena2 stores most owl documents not acceptable into a single table and it shows low processing performance for a large ontology data set. Most of all, Jena2 storage model does not consider hierarchical structures of classes and properties. In addition, it shows low query processing performance using the hierarchical structure because of many join operations. To solve these issues, this paper proposes an OWL ontology relational database model. The proposed model semantically classifies and stores information such as classes, properties, and instances. It improves the query processing performance by managing hierarchical information in a separate table. This paper also describes the implementation and evaluation results. This paper also shows the experiment and evaluation result and the comparative analysis on both results. The experiment and evaluation show our proposal provides a prominent performance as against Jena2.

The ontology has been gaining increasing interests by recent arise of the semantic web and related technologies. The focus is mostly on inference query processing that requires high-level techniques for storage and searching ontologies efficiently, and it has been actively studied in the area of semantic-based searching. W3C's recommendation is to use RDFS and OWL for representing ontologies. However memory-based editors, inference engines, and triple storages all store ontology as a simple set of triplets. Naturally the performance is limited, especially when a large-scale ontology needs to be processed. A variety of researches on proposing algorithms for efficient inference query processing has been conducted, and many of them are based on using proven relational database technology. However, none of them had been successful in obtaining the complete set of inference results which reflects the five characteristics of the ontology properties. In this paper, we propose a new index structure called hyper cube index to efficiently process inference queries. Our approach is based on an intuition that an index can speed up the query processing when extensive inferencing is required.

This paper presents a reservoir operation plan coupled with storage forecasting model to maintain a target storage and a critical storage. The observed storage data from 1990 to 2001 in the Geum-Gang agricultural reservoir in Korea have been applied to the low flow frequency analysis, which yields storage for each return period. Two year return period drought storage is then designated as the target storage and ten year return period drought storage as the critical storage. Storage in reservoir should be forecasted to perform reasonable reservoir operation. The predicted storage can be effectively utilized to establish a reservoir operation plan. In this study the autoregressive error (ARE) model and the ARIMA model are adopted to predict storage of reservoir. The ARIMA model poorly generated reservoir storage in series because only observed storage data were used, but the autoregressive error model made to enhance the reliability of the forecasted storage by applying the explanation variables to the model. Since storages of agricultural reservoir with respect to time have been affected by irrigation area, high or mean temperature, precipitation, previous storage and wind velocity, the autoregressive error model has been adopted to analyze the relationship between storage at a period and affecting factors for storage at the period. Since the equation for predicting storage at a period by the autoregressive error model is similar to the continuity equation, the predicting storage equation may be practical. The results from compared the actual storage in 2002 and the predicted storage in the Geum-Gang reservoir show that forecasted storage by the autoregressive error model is reasonable.

Tolaasin, peptide toxin produced by Pseudomonas tolaasii, causes a brown blotch disease on the cultivated mushrooms. Tolaasin peptides form membrane pores and disrupt cellular membrane structure. Molecular actions of tolaasin consist of the aggregation of peptide molecules, binding to the cell membrane, and formation of membrane pores. Therefore, the inhibitions of any of these actions are able to suppress the blotch disease. We have isolated and identified several tolaasin inhibitors (named tolaasin inhibitory factors, TIF) from food additives. TIFs were able to suppress the blotch-formation by the pathogen inoculated to the mushrooms. In this study, TIFs were incubated under various conditions and their activities for the inhibition of tolaasin-induced hemolytic activity were investigated. Since TIFs are unsaturated carbon compounds, they were sensitive to the air exposure and light irradiation. In the anaerobic conditions, TIFs were stable and their activities were decreased by 10% for three months. However, near 90% of TIF activity was suppressed by two weeks in the presence of air and sun light. Temperature did not show any significant effects on the activity of TIF, since storages at 5, 25, $45^{\circ}C$ did not show any difference. Therefore, for the stable storage of TIF compounds, container should be designed to be dark and air-tight.

This study was conducted to analyze the acidity and turbidity changes of immersion solutions as well as changes in aerobic bacteria, E. coli, anaerobic bacteria, yeast and mold counts of mulberry leaf soybean curds during storages at $4^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$ in different immersion solutions such as distilled water, grapefruit seed extract (300 ppm) and alkaline ionic water. The acidities of immersion solutions of distilled water, grapefruit seed extract and alkaline ionic water after 18 days of storage at $4^{\circ}C$ were 0.021, 0.008 and 0.002%, respectively. After 5 days of storage at $25^{\circ}C$ were 0.042, 0.029 and 0.009%, respectively. The turbidities of the above mentioned immersion solutions were 0.50, 0.29 and 0.21 after 18 days of storage at $4^{\circ}C$ and 0.38, 0.34 and 0.27, respectively, after 5 days of storage at $25^{\circ}C$. The acidity and turbidity changes of immersion solutions were sensitive to storage temperatures. The aerobic bacteria count of mulberry leaf soybean curds after 18 days of storage at $4^{\circ}C$ was still below $10^7\;CFU/g$, the beginning point of soybean curd putrefaction; in contrast, this value was reached within one day in distilled water at $25^{\circ}C$ and between 2 and 3 days in alkaline ionic water. Grapefruit seed extract and alkaline ionic water had a better preservative effect at $4^{\circ}C$ than at $25^{\circ}C$ storage temperature.
