We investigated various physicochemical properties, i.e., temperature, ammonia and carbon dioxide concentration, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), C/N ratio, organic matter content, moisture content, bacterial population, and seed germination index (GI), during the composting of poultry manure and sawdust for different aeration rates and reactor shapes. Three cylindrical-shaped and three rectangular-shaped laboratory-scale 60-L composting reactors were used in this study, with aeration rates of 0.3, 0.6, and 0.9 L min^-1kg^-1 (drymatter)DM. Results showed that the low aeration rate (0.3 L min^-1kg^-1DM) corresponded to a higher and longer thermophilic phase than did the high aeration rate (0.9 L min^-1kg^-1DM). Ammonia and carbon dioxide volatilization were directly related to the temperature profile of the substrate, with significant differences between the low and high aeration rates during weeks 2 and 3 of composting but no significant difference observed during week 1. At the end of our study, the final values of pH, EC, moisture content, C/N ratio, and organic matter in all compost reactors were lower than those at the start. The growth of mesophilic and thermophilic bacteria was directly related to the thermophilic and mesophilic condition of the compost. The final GI of the cylindrical reactor with an airflow rate of 0.3 L min^-1kg^-1DM was 82.3%, whereas the GIs of the other compost reactors were below 80%. In this study, compost of a cylindrical reactor with a low aeration rate (0.3 L min^-1kg^-1DM) was more stable and mature than the other reactors.

본 연구에서는 부영양화의 원인이 되는 질소와 인의 제거 효율을 향상시킬 목적으로 광물질을 활용한 여재를 이용하여 호기, 혐기의 흐름조건을 만들어주기 위한 수직·수평 흐름 인공습지를 고안하여 아크릴 반응조로 제작한 후 성능평가를 진행하였다. 수직·수평 흐름형 인공습지의 경우 호기 및 혐기조건을 평가하기 위해서 반응조 내 용존산소(DO) 농도를 측정해본 결과 호기상태에서는 2.7 ㎎/L, 혐기상태에서는 N.D로 확인되어 목적에 부합된 결과가 확인되었다. 실험결과에서는 SS 저감효과가 140 min, 80 min, 60 min의 운전시간에서 각각 94%, 91%, 61%의 효율을 보였고, T-P의 경우 각각의 운전시간에 따라 84%, 71%, 63%의 저감효율을 보였다. 또한 T-N의 경우 각각의 운전시간에 따라 63%, 49%, 42%의 저감효율을 보여 기존의 습지가 12~24 hr 체류시간을 가지는 것에 비하여 짧은 운전시간에도 높은 처리효율을 보이는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구에서는 수직·수평 흐름 방식을 복합 적용하여 기존 인공습지의 단점을 보완하기 위해 기술개발을 진행한 것으로 어떠한 기능적 효과를 갖는지 확인하였고, 향후 이에 대한 현장적용을 위한 운영 및 관리적 차원의 메커니즘 연구가 추가로 진행 될 필요가 있다. Nitrogen and phosphorus are key factors in causing eutrophication of water body. In this study, ceramics media was selected to increase the removal efficiency of nitrogen and phosphorus. We designed vertical, horizontal flow constructed wetlands to create aerobic and anaerobic flow conditions by using the media, then proceeded to performance evaluations after acrylic reactors were produced. In the case of vertical and horizontal flow constructed wetlands, we measured oxygen concentrations to evaluate aerobic and anaerobic conditions. we got the result of 2.7 ㎎/L in the aerobic condition, N.D in the anaerobic condition respectively, which suited our purpose. The result of the combined vertical and horizontal flow condition showed that the removal efficiency of SS was 94%, 91%, 61% at 140 min, 80 min, 60 min of running times, respectively, and the removal efficiency of T-P was 84%, 71%, 63% during each running time. In case of T-N, the removal efficiency was 63%, 49%, 42% during each running time. We found that the reactor exerted better removal efficiency when in the short time compared to 12 - 24 hr residence time of existing wetlands. In this study, we conducted experiments to explore functional effects after applying combined vertical and horizontal flow methods in the field. Further study will be carried out to identify its mechanism and administrative perspective.

시금치에 fumaric acid와 mild heat의 병합처리를 통해 병원성 미생물 제어효과를 규명하고자 시금치에 E. coli O157:H7, L. mon℃ytogenes 를 접종한 후 각 단일처리 후 미생물 수 변화를 측정하였다. Fumaric acid (0.1, 0.3, 0.5%)와 mild heat (40, 50, 60℃)의 각 단일처리 실험 결과를 토대로, 병합처리를 위한 fumaric acid의 최적농도는 0.5%, mild heat 처리조건으로 50℃ 에서 5 min으로 선정하였고, 병합처리 시 L. mon℃ytogenes, E. coli O157:H7의 수는 대조구에 비해 각각 2.53, 2.62 log CFU/g 감소하였다. 그리고 신선한 시금치에 병합처리 후 4℃에서 12일간 저장하면서 미생물 수 감소 및 품질 변화를 조사하였다. 시금치의 초기 미생물 수에 있어서 대조구와 비교하여, 병합 처리구에서 총 호기성 균을 2.77 log CFU/g 감소시켰다. 특히, 저장 12일 후 병합 처리구의 총 호기성 균 수는 4.84 log CFU/g으로 대조구와 비교하여 1.82 log CFU/g의 감균 효과를 가졌다. 또한 시금치의 저장 중 Hunter 색도 값 및 비타민 C 함량에 있어서 처리구 간의 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구 결과, fumaric acid와 mild heat의 병합처리가 시금치의 미생물학적 안전성 유지에 효과적인 처리라고 판단된다. The objective of this study was to examine the combined effect of fumaric acid with mild heat on the inactivation of microorganisms on spinach. Spinach leaves were in℃ulated with Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Listeria mon℃ytogenes. Based on the results of single treatment of fumaric acid (0.1, 0.3, and 0.5%) or mild heat (40, 50, and 60℃) regarding the inactivation of the in℃ulated bacteria, the optimal condition for the combined treatment was suggested to be 0.5% fumaric acid and mild heat treatment at 50℃ for 5 min. The combined treatment of fumaric acid with mild heat caused 2.53 and 2.62 log reductions of the populations of L. mon℃ytogenes and E. coli O157:H7, respectively. In addition, during storage of fresh spinach at 4℃ for 12 d, the combined treatment reduced initially the populations of total aerobic bacteria by 2.77 log CFU/g compared with the control. In particular, after 12 d of storage, the population of total aerobic bacteria for the combined treatment sample was 4.84 log CFU/g, whereas the control sample had 6.66 log CFU/g. Color and vitamin C content of spinach samples were not altered significantly by the combined treatment during storage. These results indicate that the combined treatment of fumaric acid with mild heat is an effective method to control microorganisms on spinach during storage.

This study was conducted to prepare canned skipjack tuna Katsuwonus pelamis in the mixture of isotonic beverage and tomato paste (ST-S) for use as a health food. An analysis of the time-temperature profile and viable cells showed that a reasonable F0 value for ST-S preparation was 4 min. The proximate composition of ST-S was 76.8% moisture, 20.2% crude protein, 0.8% crude lipid, 1.7% ash and 0.5% carbohydrate. The calorie content of ST-S was 94.8 kcal, which is 47.4% lower than that of commercial canned skipjack tuna in oil (ST-O) and 2.2% lower than that of commercial chicken breast in water (CB-B). The total amino acid content of ST-S was 18.54 g/100 g, which is 31.4% lower than that of ST-O and 7.9% lower than that of CB-B. The major amino acids in ST-S were aspartic acid and glutamic acid. An enrichment effect due to such minerals as phosphorus, potassium and iron would be expected on consuming 100 g of ST-S. The major fatty acids in ST-S were 16:0 (27.4%), 18:1n-9 (14.3%) and 22:6n-3 (27.8%), which are different from those in ST-O and CB-B. The major free amino acids in ST-S were glutamic acid (8.1%), histidine (38.6%) and its related dipeptide, such as anserine (15.7%). In an evaluation of taste, flavor and color, ST-S was found to be superior to ST-O and CB-B.

본 연구에서는 micro-contact printing을 통하여 니오븀 호일 표면 위에 균일한 에칭 pits를 형성하였다. 균일한 보호층을 형성하고자 전해연마의 효과를 확인하였으며, 기존의 O2 플라즈마 공정 없이 손쉽게 균일한 에칭 pits를 형성시킬 수 있는 조건을 확인하였다. 메탄올 혼합 전해질을 사용하여 10 min 동안 에칭을 진행한 결과 니오븀 호일 표면 위에 지름과 간격이 각각 10 μm와 5 μm로 잘 정렬된 에칭 pits를 관찰하였다. We describe the preparation of highly-ordered etching pits on the Nb foil through a micromachining. The effects of electro-chemical polishing on the formation of uniformly-patterned protective epoxy layer was investigated. Unlike the previous proc-ess using O2 plasma, well-ordered etched pits were prepared without any dry processes. As a result, the Nb foil with the well-ordered pits of 10 μm × 5 μm could be obtained by electrochemical etching in methanolic electrolytes for 10 min.

자연영상에 내포되어 있는 문자는 다양한 내용을 표현하는 중요한 정보이다. 기존의 문자 검출 알고리즘은 영상의 복잡도와 주변의 조명, 문자와 유사한 배경색 등의 환경에서 문자영역을 검출하지 못하는 문제점이 있으므로 본 논문에서는 에지 및 형태학적 재구성에 의한 연결요소를 이용한 자연영상에 포함된 문자영역을 검출하는 방법을 제안한다. 첫 번째 단계로, 명암도 영상에서 캐니에지(Canny-Edge) 검출기를 이용한 에지 성분과 형태학적 연산에 의한 지역적 최소/최대값을 갖는 연결요소를 검출하고, 각각 검출된 연결성분을 레이블링하고, 레이블링 된 각 성분에 대해 문자가 갖는 특징을 이용한 후보 문자영역을 검출한다. 마지막으로 검출된 후보 문자 영역을 서로 합병하여 하나의 후보 문자 영역을 생성하고, 후보 문자 영역의 인접성과 유사성으로 후보 문자 영역을 검증하여 최종 문자 영역을 검출한다. 실험결과 제안한 에지 및 연결요소 성분을 이용한 방법은 문자영역 검출의 정확성이 개선되었다. Characters in natural image are an important information with various context. Previous work of character region detection algorithms is not detect of character region in case of image complexity and the surrounding lighting, similar background to character, so this paper propose an method of character region detection in natural image using edge and connected component by morphological reconstructions. Firstly, we detect edge using Canny-edge detector and connected component with local min/max value by morphological reconstructed-operation in gray-scale image, and labeling each of detected connected component elements. lastly, detected candidate of text regions was merged for generation for one candidate text region, Final text region detected by checking the similarity and adjacency of neighbor of text candidate individual character. As the results of experiments, proposed algorithm improved the correctness of character regions detection using edge and connected components.

Studies on Lytic, Tailed Bacillus cereus-specific Phage for Use in a Ferromagnetoelastic Biosensor as a Novel Recognition Element

( In Young Choi ),( Joo Hyeon Park ),( Kyoung Min Gwak ),( Kwang-pyo Kim ),( Jun-hyun Oh ),( Mi-kyung Park ) 한국미생물생명공학회(구 한국산업미생물학회) 2018 Journal of microbiology and biotechnology Vol.28 No.1

This study investigated the feasibility of the lytic, tailed Bacillus cereus-specific phage for use in a ferromagnetoelastic (FME) biosensor as a novel recognition element. The phage was immobilized at various concentrations through either direct adsorption or a combination of 11-mercapto-1-undecanoic acid (11-MUA) and [N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N’-carbodiimide hydrochloride and N-hydroxysuccinimide (EDC/NHS)]. The effects of time and temperature on its lytic properties were investigated through the exposure of B. cereus (4 and 8 logCFU/ml) to the phage (8 logPFU/ml) for various incubation periods at 22°C and at various temperatures for 30 and 60 min. As the phage concentration increased, both immobilization methods also significantly increased the phage density (p < 0.05). SEM images confirmed that the phage density on the FME platform corresponded to the increased phage concentration. As the combination of 11-MUA and EDC/NHS enhanced the phage density and orientation by up to 4.3-fold, it was selected for use. When various incubation was conducted, no significant differences were observed in the survival rate of B. cereus within 30 min, which was in contrast to the significant decreases observed at 45 and 60 min (p < 0.05). In addition, temperature exerted no significant effects on the survival rate across the entire temperature range. This study demonstrated the feasibility of the lytic, tailed B. cereus-specific phage as a novel recognition element for use in an FME biosensor. Thus, the phage could be placed on the surface of foods for at least 30 min without any significant loss of B. cereus, as a result of the inherent lytic activity of the B. cereus-specific phage as a novel recognition element.
