Consumers have been requiring more higher level of food and agricultural products safety. The system of Good Agricultural Practice(GAP) has been spreaded over the world. Korea also introduced the GAP system in agricultural industry. GAP is related to the production side in the whole traceability system. The establishment of GAP system is a prerequisite to secure food safety. This study reviewed the concept of GAP and necessities and backgrounds of introducing the GAP system. Also, this study analyzed the problems which have been appeared in the GAP program and proposed the policy strategies and directions for the Korean GAP system. So issues for the GAP system are as follows; computerizing of traceability system, forming the cooperative works among the related governmental departments, establishing a certification system to relate with crop features, efficient management, ensuring distribution channel and the research for estimating GAP consumer surplus is need to analyze GAP program more efficient. In addition, It is necessary to keep the records of the data to analyze the GAP program more accurately.

In order to clarify regeneration processes and mechanisms of the disturbed Pinus densiflora forest, responses of Pinus densiflora to gap formed by disturbance were analysed by growth of saplings and mature and growth equations were obtained from branch growth of mature trees and height growth of saplings, and age distribution of saplings and young trees recruited within gap was analysed in relation to gap age. Height growth of saplings within gaps was accelerated after gap formation. Such abrupt increases of growth of saplings after the gap formation might be resulted in the difference of growth of saplings between gap and non-gap areas. In fact, height and diameter of saplings in the central part of gap were larger than those of saplings in marginal parts of gap and non-gap area. However, density of saplings was not different in both parts. In addition, growth of annual rings of mature trees bordering on gap also increased after gap formation. Branch growth of mature trees bodering on gap was 6.3 - 6.5 cm /year and the mean radius of gaps created by death of only one canopy tree was about 3 m. Therefore, for those gaps to be closed by branch growth it will take 46 years. Growth of saplings within gap showed exponential equation. Fifty years will be required for the saplings to enter the forest canopy by the exponential growth equation. Therefore, gap created by only one tree might be closed by branch growth of surrounding canopy trees in advance of being done by height growth of saplings. But gaps created by death of trees more than 2 will be closed by the growth of saplings. Among the regenerating saplings and young trees within gaps, individuals established in advance of gap formation were more than those established after the gap formation. From these results, it was assumed that the disturbed Pinus densiflora forests in these sites were regenerated by height growth of saplings recruited in advance of gap formation.

본 연구는 상추와 오이의 GAP 인증 및 미인증 농가를 대상으로 토양, 용수, 작물 (상추, 오이), 장갑, 포장재 (비닐)에 대한 미생물 오염도를 비교 평가하고 농가의 위생관리 실태를 조사하여 GAP 인증 농가에 대한 미생물학적 안전성 강화를 위한 자료로 활용하고자 하였다. 미생물 오염도 조사 결과 상추 농장의 경우 위생지표세균 오염도는 GAP 인증 농가가 미인증 농가 보다 조금 낮거나 유사하였고, 병원성미생물인 S. aureus와 B. cereus는 GAP 인증 농가의 토양과 용수에서 미인증 농가 보다 높게 검출되었다. 오이농장은 토양의 대장균군과 B. cereus, 장갑의 일반세균 및 대장균군 오염도가 GAP 미인증 농가보다 GAP 인증 농가에서 높았고, 그 외에는 GAP 인증 농가와 미인증 농가가 유사한 오염도를 나타내었다. 전체적으로 결과를 비교했을 때 GAP 인증 농가와 미인증 농가의 미생물 오염도 수준이 크게 차이가 나지 않는 것으로 확인되어 GAP를 인증 받았음에도 불구하고 미생물에 대한 관리는 미흡한 것으로 나타났다. 농가의 위생관리 실태 조사 결과에서는 GAP 인증 농가가 미인증 농가보다는 미생물 오염을 방지하기 위한 노력들을 하고 있는 것으로 확인되었으나, GAP 인증 및 미인증 농가 모두 농업용수의 관리와 작업 시 사용되는 작업자의 장갑 관리에 있어서는 미흡한 것으로 확인되었다. 이상의 연구결과는 농산물의 미생물 오염방지에 대한 방안을 제시하고 GAP 인증을 개선하는데 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

GAP 및 GAP-co-BO계 에너지 함유 열가소성 탄성체(ETPE)의 하드세그먼트 함량을 30~45% 범위에서 변화시켜 합성하여 열적 특성 및 기계적 특성을 비교 연구하여 고찰하였다. FTIR 분석 결과로부터 GAP-co-BO계 ETPE와 GAP계 ETPE는 하드세그먼트 함량이 증가함에 따라 수소결합을 형성하는 능력이 증가하였으며 GAP-co-BO계 ETPE의 수소 결합 능력이 GAP계 ETPE보다 크게 나타났다. DSC와 DMA 분석 결과로부터 GAP계 ETPE의 유리전이온도(T_g)는 하드세그먼트 함량이 증가함에 따라 증가하였으나, GAP-co-BO계 ETPE의 유리전이온도(T_g)는 하드세그먼트가 증가하여도 유사한 값을 유지하였다. 상온 storage modulus는 GAP-co-BO계 ETPE의 값이 GAP계 ETPE 값보다 더 크게 나타났다. 이러한 거동은 GAP-co-BO계 ETPE 내의 하드세그먼트와 소프트세그먼트의 강한 상분리 거동의 결과로 볼 수 있다. 그 결과 GAP-co-BO계 ETPE는 GAP계 ETPE보다 더 큰 파단강도와 더 낮은 파단신율 값을 나타냈다.

Three types of gap sensors, a capacitive gap sensor, an eddy current gap sensor, and a Hall effect gap sensor are described and evaluated through experiments for the purpose of precise gap sensing for micrometer scale movement, and a novel type of differential hall effect gap sensor is proposed. Each gap sensor is analyzed in terms of resolution and environment dependency including temperature dependency. Furthermore, a transport system for AMOLED deposition is introduced as a typical application of gap sensors, which are recently receiving considerable attention. Based on the analyses, the proposed differential Hall effect gap sensor is found to be the most suitable gap sensor for precise gap sensing, especially for application to a transport system for AMOLED deposition. The sensor shows resolution of $0.63mV/{\mu}m$ for the overall range of the gap from 0 mm to 2.5 mm, temperature dependency of $3{\mu}m/^{\circ}C$ from $20^{\circ}C$ to $30^{\circ}C$, and a monotonic characteristic for the gap between the sensor and the target.

Maglev using EMS becomes unstable by unexpected big air-gap disturbance. The main causes of the unexpected air-gap disturbance are step-wise rail joint and large distance between rail splices. For the stable operation of the Maglev, the conventional system uses the threshold method, which selects one gap sensor among two gap sensors installed on the magnet to read the gap between magnet and guide rail. But the threshold method with a wide bandwidth makes the discontinuous air-gap signal at the rail joints because of the offset in air gap sensors and/or the step-wise rail joins. Further more, in the case of the one with a narrow bend-width, it makes Maglev system unstable because of frequent alternation. In this paper, a new method using fuzzy rule to reduce air-gap disturbances proposed to improve the stability of Maglev system. It treats the air-gap signal from dual gap sensors effectively to make continuous signal without air gap disturbance. Simulation and experiment results proved that the proposed scheme was effective to reduce air-gap disturbance from dual gap sensors in rail joints.

The present urban maglev which has been developed in Korea is controlled by 4-edge control method over each bogie. The control output which is derived from two gap sensors and one vertical acceleration sensor controls magnet to maintain a nominal gap. But, the gap signal acts as a big disturbance in rail joint though two gap sensors are used and finally result in unstable response and poor ride comfort. This paper treats of a method to compensate the gap signal in rail joint for the levitation control of urban maglev. The physically abnormal change of gap is detected when one gap sensor passes a rail joint, the disturbance of gap in rail joint is estimated. Finally the disturbance in gap signal is eliminated by processing the information of vehicle speed and estimated disturbance in when the other gap sensor passes a rail joint.

Narrow gap welding has many advantages over conventional V-grooved butt welding such as high productivity, small deformation and improved mechanical property of joints. With narrower groove gap, less arc heat input is expected will all the other advantages of narrow gap welding. The main defects of narrow gap welding include the lack of root fusion, convex bead surface and irregular surface, all of which have negative effects on the next welding pass. This paper suggests an up-and-down torch oscillation for ultra narrow gap welding with gap size of 5mm and investigates the proper welding conditions to fulfill the reliable and high welding quality. First, GMA welding model was suggested for ultra narrow gap welding system with Halmoy's model referenced for wire melting modeling. And the arc length in ultra narrow gap was defined. Secondly, based on the experimental results of up-and-down torch oscillation welding, phase shift of current and wire extension length were simulated for varying oscillation frequency to show that weld the bead shape in ultra narrow gap welding can be predicted. As the result, it was confirmed that reliable weld quality in ultra narrow gap welding can be achieved with up-and-down torch oscillation above 15Hz due to its ability to provide uniform heat input along the sidewall of gap.

Background and Objectives: The gap prepulse inhibition of the acoustic startle response has been used to screen tinnitus in an animal model. Here, we examined changes in the auditory late response under various conditions of gap prepulse inhibition. Subjects and Methods: We recruited 19 healthy adults (5 males, 14 females) and their auditory late responses were recorded after various stimuli with or without gap prepulsing. The N1 and P2 responses were selected for analysis. The gap prepulse inhibition was estimated to determine the optimal auditory late response in the gap prepulse paradigm. Results: We found that the gap per se generated a response that was very similar to the response elicited by sound stimuli. This critically affected the gap associated with the maximal inhibition of the stimulus response. Among the various gap-stimulus intervals (GSIs) between the gap and principal stimulus, the GSI of 150 ms maximally inhibited the response. However, after zero padding was used to minimize artifacts after a P2 response to a gap stimulus, the differences among the GSIs disappeared. Conclusions: Overall, the data suggest that both the prepulse inhibition and the gap per se should be considered when using the gap prepulse paradigm to assess tinnitus in humans.
