  • The global mushroom industry has grown rapidly in recent years in terms of beneficial effects, market value, and demand. India has a wide range of agro-climatic conditions and is largely an agricultural country with a cultivated area of about 4.37 %, generating about 620 million tons of agro waste annually. Mushroom cultivation not only helps recycle agro wastes, but also fills the nutritional gap prevalent among a large population of India. Recently, government industrial policy and creative innovation has promoted research and other endeavors aiming towards the cultivation of mushrooms. Mushroom cultivation in India was initiated in Solan, in the mid-sixties. Mushroom cultivation has been successful in temperate regions of the Himalayas, the Western Ghats, and the hills of northeast India. Recently, many unemployed people have begun to adopt mushroom cultivation as a means of self-employment. It is high time that Indian mushroom cultivators and consumers became aware of the nutritional and medicinal values of cultivated and wild species of mushrooms. The total mushroom production in India between 2010 and 2017 was approximately 0.13 million tons, accounting for a 4.3% increase in the average growth rate of mushrooms per annum. In particular, the total production of white button mushrooms is the highest, with a share of about 73% of total mushroom production. In this review article, we have analyzed the current scenario of the Indian mushroom industry and its contribution to the economic growth of the country.

  • Tulips are bulbous geophytes that have considerable commercial value worldwide. This genus primarily originated in the Tien Shan and Pamir-Alai mountain ranges, which surround the Ferghana Valley. The Ferghana Valley is home to five sections of the genus Tulipa L, represented by 23 taxa (22 species). However, there is a lack of detailed information about the distribution of Tulipa species in the natural geographic area of the Ferghana Valley. Therefore, to address this knowledge gap, we comprehensively investigated the spatial distribution of all Tulipa species in the valley. To assess the spatial distribution, the entire area was divided into 32 squares consisting of four latitudinal and eight longitudinal zones. The results showed that latitudinal zones B and C with 15 and 13 taxa, respectively, along with five longitudinal zones (A5, B3, B4, C2, and C3) with 5 to 10 taxa were hotspots for this genus. Additionally, the spatial distributions of the species in terms of the corresponding state borders, mountain ranges, endemism, and conservation issues were assessed. The findings of this study provide comprehensive information about the distribution of Tulipa species to assist with conservation initiatives ultimately to ensure the survival of various species.

  • Purpose - Korean exports account for a vast proportion of Korean GDP, and large volumes of Korean products are sold in the United States. Identifying and characterizing actual and potential product hazards related to Korean products is critical to safeguard Korean export trade, as severe quality issues can impair Korea's reputation and reduce global consumer confidence in Korean products. In this study, we develop country-of-origin-based product risk analysis methods for social media with a specific focus on Korean-labeled products, for the purpose of safeguarding Korean export trade. Design/methodology - We employed two social media datasets containing consumer-generated product reviews. Sentiment analysis is a popular text mining technique used to quantify the type and amount of emotion that is expressed in the text. It is a useful tool for gathering customer opinions regarding products. Findings - We document and discuss the specific potential risks found in Korean-labeled products and explain their implications for safeguarding Korean export trade. Finally, we analyze the false positive matches that arise from the established dictionaries that were used for risk discovery and utilize these classification errors to suggest opportunities for the future refinement of the associated automated text analytic methods. Originality/value - Various studies have used online feedback from social media to analyze product defects. However, none of them links their findings to trade promotion and the protection of a specific country's exports. Therefore, it is important to fill this research gap, which could help to safeguard export trade in Korea.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the radiologic outcomes of distal fibular fractures and to analyze the risk factors associated with nonunion. Materials and Methods: Between January 2009 and March 2016, 13 patients who had final nonunion with ankle fracture were included. In the control group, 370 patients who had undergone bony union and removed metal implants were included. All patients underwent the same surgical procedure and had the same treatment method, ultimately achieving satisfactory open reduction results with less than 2 mm fracture gap. Surgical treatment of fracture was considered to have the same effect on nonunion, and factors that might be associated with nonunion were evaluated. SPSS ver. 13.0 (SPSS Inc., USA) was used for all statistical analyses. Pearson's chi-square test and multi-variate regression analysis were performed to determine the factors affecting nonunion of distal fibular fracture. A p-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant, and relative risk was assessed. Results: The mean age of 13 patients was 46.9 years (range, 16~57 years); there were 8 men and 5 women. Among the 13 patients with nonunion, atrophic was the most common (12 cases). The association between the injury mechanism and the Lauge-Hansen classification and diabetes mellitus was not statistically significant. Distal fibular fractures with tibia shaft fracture (p=0.015) and Danis-Weber type C fracture (p=0.023), open fracture (p=0.011), and smoking (p=0.023) were significantly associated with nonunion. Conclusion: In this study, the combined injury of the ipsilateral tibia shaft fracture, open fracture, and Danis-Weber type C fracture may increase the possibility of nonunion. Therefore, caution is advised to prevent nonunion.

  • 구면 초점 초음파 측정기에 의해 구형의 광 흡수체로부터 측정된 시간(즉, 펄스 형태 광원) 및 주파수 영역(즉, 처프 형태 광원) 광음향 신호의 신호 대 잡음비(signal-to-noise ratio)를 이론 및 시뮬레이션으로 분석하였다. 이전 문헌과 마찬가지로 시간 영역 광음향 측정에 의한 신호 대 잡음비 값이 주파수 영역 광음향 측정의 경우보다 더 높았는데 이 근본적인 이유를 최대허용노광량(maximum permissible exposure)에 따른 광원의 세기와 주파수 필터링을 통한 두 측정 모드의 광음향 스펙트럼들에 대한 분석을 통해 이해하였다. 또한, 분석의 결과로서 주파수 영역 광음향의 처프 형태 광원에 대한 정합 필터링에 더해 DC 스펙트럼 부분을 제거하니 신호 대 잡음비가 5 dB 정도 상승하는 것을 발견하였다. 특히, 주파수 필터 함수의 주파수 상한 값의 변화에 따라 신호대 잡음비 값이 급격하게 변동하였는데 신호 대 잡음비가 최대가 되는 주파수 상한 값이 두 광음향 측정 모드에서 서로 다르게 나타남을 관찰하였다.

  • 본 논문은 단상 영구자석 동기전동기의 초기 회전자 자극 검출 기법을 제안한다. 대상 전동기는 저속 및 정지 상태에서 역기전력을 기반으로 위치 정보를 얻을 수 없다. 따라서 초기 개루프 기동이 필요하며 이 과정에서 저 전류 및 소프트 기동을 위한 초기 회전자 위치 정보가 필요하다. 제안하는 초기 회전자 자극 검출 알고리즘의 경우 비대칭 공극의 영향 및 영구자석 자속의 영향을 고려하였으며, 고주파 전압 신호 주입을 기반으로 정확한 검출을 위한 오프셋 전압을 이용하였다. 이때 고주파 전압 신호로부터 유도된 고주파 전류의 경우 가상의 dq축을 이용하여 유도된 전류의 최댓값 취득을 통해 회전자 영구자석 자극을 판별한다. 본 논문에서는 센서리스 운전의 저전류 및 소프트 기동을 위해 제안된 초기 회전자 자극 검출 알고리즘을 홀센서 신호를 근거로 효용성 및 타당성을 다수의 실험을 통해 검증하였다.

  • Electrical properties as a function of composition in silicon nitride ($SiN_x$) films grown at low temperatures ($<200^{\circ}C$) were studied for applications to photonic devices and thin film transistors. Both silicon-rich and nitrogen-rich compositions were successfully produced in final films by controlling the source gas mixing ratio, $R=[(N_2\;or\;NH_3)/SiH_4]$, and the RF plasma power. Depending on the film composition, the dielectric and optical properties of $SiN_x$ films varied substantially. Both the resistivity and breakdown field strength showed the maximum value at the stoichiometric composition (N/Si = 1.33), and degraded as the composition deviated to either side. The electrical properties degraded more rapidly when the composition shifted toward the silicon-rich side than toward the nitrogen-rich side. The composition shift from the silicon-rich side to the nitrogen-rich side accompanied the shift in the photoluminescence characteristic peak to a shorter wavelength, indicating an increase in the band gap. As long as the film composition is close to the stoichiometry, the breakdown field strength and the bulk resistivity showed adequate values for use as a gate dielectric layer down to $150^{\circ}C$ of the process temperature.

  • It is very important to optimize the reflectance of incident light in solar modules for improving output power and reducing loss of cell-to-module (CTM). It is assumed that a higher reflectance backsheet may improve optical efficiency. However how much output power is related to optical properties by reflectance property of backsheets have not been revealed clearly yet. A total of 3 types of industrial backsheets with 3 type of industrial encapsulants (EVA or POE) were analyzed as fabricated mini modules used shingled cells. According to the type of backsheets, the difference between the highest and lowest average reflectance in the range of 400 nm to 1200 nm was found to be 13.08% by UV-visible spectroscopy. Also, when using the same encapsulant, the maximum gap value of the output power increase was measured by about 3.755 mW% (166.02 mW). The correlation between reflectance and output power was experimentally found by measuring the output property of the fabricated shingled mini modules.

  • The time-history finite element analysis is usually used to evaluate the seismic response of shallow foundations. However, the literature lacks studies on the influence of the soil constitutive model complexity on the seismic response of shallow foundations. This study, thus, aims to fill this gap by investigating the seismic response of shallow foundation resting on dry silica sand using the linear elastic (LE) model, elastic-perfectly-plastic (EPP) model, and hardening soil with small strain stiffness (HS small) model. These models have been used because it is intended to compare the results of a soil constitutive model that accurately captures the seismic response of the soil-structure interaction problems (which is the HS small model) with simpler models (the LE and EPP models) that are routinely used by practitioners in geotechnical designs. The results showed that the LE model produces a very small seismic settlement value which is approximately equal to zero. The EPP model predicts a seismic settlement higher than that produced using the HS small model for earthquakes with a peak ground acceleration (PGA) lower than 0.25 g for a relative density of 45% and 0.40 g for a relative density of 70%. However, the HS small model predicts a seismic settlement higher than the EPP model beyond the aforementioned PGA values with the difference between both models increases as the PGA rises. The results also showed that the LE and EPP models predict similar trend and magnitude of the acceleration-time relationship directly below the foundation, which was different than that predicted using the HS small model. The results reported in this paper provide a useful benchmark for future numerical studies on the response of shallow foundations subjected to seismic shake.

  • 이 연구의 목적은 개인 수준의 문화적 자본과 국가 수준의 사회 복지 지출이 노인의 생활만족도에 영향을 미치는지 실증적 분석을 통해 설명하는데 있다. 본 연구의 방법은 65세 이상의 노인 3,297명의 대상과 OECD국가 중 총9개 국가를 대상으로 HLM(다층모형)분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과 첫째, 생활만족도와 사회계급은 유의미한 영향이 확인되었다. 따라서 노인의 생활만족도를 증진하기 위해서는 사회계층의 차이를 좁힐 수 있는 정책적·실천적 개입 방안이 마련되어져야 할 것이다. 둘째, 노령연금과 유족연금은 생활 만족도에 큰 영향이 확인되지 않았다. 하지만 상호작용 결과, 사회계급은 생활만족도에 유의한 영향을 미치고 있으며 이는 소득불평등도가 낮을수록 생활만족도에 더 정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 결론적으로, 개인과 국가 모두 노인의 생활만족도를 증진시키기 위해 다각적인 관점으로 노력해야 함을 시사하고 있다.
