The principal objective of this study was to assess the antioxidative activities of Petasites japonicus against oxidative stress in bovine brain tissue . Petasites japonicus is found with a relatively widespread distribution, and is cultivated as a culinary vegetable in Korea. Petasites japonicus samples were dried either by freeze-drying or by hot air-convection drying (80℃), then evaluated for their antioxidative activity by measuring 1-dipheny-1，2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging, and by measuring thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) in brain homogenates subjected to Fe2+ -mediated lipids with or without the addition of botanical extract. Hot air convection-drying resulted in a slight increase in the extraction yie1d as compared with freeze-drying. However, total phenol and flavonoid contents in freeze-dried Petasites japonicas were significantly higher than those of hot air convection-drying. Freeze-drying increased the free radical scavenging activity of Petasites japonicas, leaves, and stems by 52.6, 28.6, and 248.0%, as compared with hot air convection-drying. Additionally, the IC50 values measured by TBARS in hot air convection-dried Petasites japonicas， leaves, and stems were increased by 36.0, 31.6, and 15.9%, as compared to those of freeze-drying. Although antioxidative activity was reduced slightly by heat processing in Petasites japonicas, freeze-drying for each portion of Petasites japonicus was the most appropriate for use as a functional food and pharmaceutical material.

콘크리트포장은 시공초기의 품질관리수준에 따라 전체수명이 결정될 정도로 시공초기의 품질관리가 매우 중요하다. 이러한 초기 품질관리는 콘크리트포장의 초기거동을 잘 파악하여 초기거동을 조절할 수 있는 방안을 도출하는 것이 중요하다. 콘크리트포장의 초기거동에 영향을 주는 요소는 크게 두 가지가 있다. 첫째는 콘크리트의 건조수축이고, 두 번째는 수화열 및 대기온도 변화에 따른 포장체의 온도변화이다. 따라서, 콘크리트의 열팽창계수와 건조수축은 콘크리트의 초기거동에 매우 중요한 요소라 할 수 있다. 지금까지의 열팽창계수는 완전히 양생된 콘크리트에 대해 실험하는 것이 일반적이었기 때문에 시공초기에 열팽창계수를 얻는데 한계가 있어 왔다. 또 건조수축도 시간방법의 한계로 초기 건조수축을 측정하는데 어려움이 있어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 콘크리트포장의 초기 거동을 조절할 수 있는 방안을 도출하기 위하여, 콘크리트의 초기 건조수축과 열팽창계수를 측정하고 이를 통해 콘크리트포장의 초기 거동 예측프로그램의 입력변수들과 적용 모델들에 대한 자료제공 및 검증을 위 한 기초자료를 제공하는데 그 목적을 두었다. 본 연구에서 얻은 결론은 현장에서 초기 콘크리트의 열팽창계수 값을 측정한 결과 8.9~10.8×10-6/℃ 값을 나타내었으며, 콘크리트의 건조수축에 있어서 깊이별 effect와 size effect가 존재하는 것으로 분석되었다.

Oxidized PAN (OXI-PAN) fibers were used for the precursors of activated carbon fiber in study. How drying temperature affected the properties of carbon fibers on activating process of carbon fibers was investigated. The specific surface areas of activated carbon fibers have been determined on a series of chemically activated carbons with KOH and NaOH. The experimental data showed variations in specific surface area, iodine and silver adsorptions by the activated carbon fibers. The amount of iodine adsorption increases with increasing specific surface areas in both activation methods. This was because the ionic radius of iodine was smaller than the interior micropore size of activated carbon fibers. Silver adsorbed well in NaOH activated carbon fibers rather than KOH activated carbon fibers in this study.

In this study, the 2-way condensation system was designed applying air-to-air heat pump to dry a marine product such as squid in the winter. And to be made the drying apparatuses by this system, there are two kinds of type, A type, was set a compressor outside of the drying apparatus, B type, was set a compressor in the drying room. And then the variations of temperature in drying room were measured to compare the heating performance of the drying apparatuses between A type and B type at -6.5℃, outdoor temperature. The temperature of the drying room for B type was increased to 36℃ but the temperature of the drying room for A type was not increased to 36℃, to be increased to 20℃.

Bulk amorphous materials have been intensively studied to apply for various advanced industry fields due to their high mechanical, chemical and electrical properties. These materials have been produced by several techniques such as mechanical alloying, melt spinning and gas atomization, etc. Among them, the atomization is the most potential technique for commercialization due to high cooling rate during solidification of the melt and mass productivity. However, the amorphous powders still have some limitations because of their low ductility and toughness. Therefore, intensive efforts have to be carried out to increase the ductility and toughness. In this study, the Ni-based amorphous powder was produced by the gas atomization process. And in order to increase the ductile toughness, ductile Cu phase was coated on the Ni amorphous powder by spray drying process. The characteristics of the as-synthesis powders have been examined and briefly mentioned. The master alloy with Ni57Zr20Ti16Si2Sn3 was prepared by vacum induction melting furnace with graphite crucible and mold. The atomization was conducted at 1450oC under the vacuum of 10-2 torr. The gas pressure during atomization was varied from 35 to 50 bars. After making the Ni amorphous powders, the spray drying was processed to produce the Cu -coated Ni amorphous composite powder. The amorphous powder and Cu nitrate solution were mixed together with a small amount of binder and then it was sprayed at temperature of 130oC and rotating speed of 15,000 R.P.M..

Two approaches for the fabrication of tailored powder composites with specially distributed pore-grain structure and chemical composition are investigated. Electrophoretic Deposition (EPD) followed by microwave sintering is employed to obtain functionally graded materials (FGM) by in-situ controlling the deposition bath suspension composition. and zeolite FGM are successfully synthesized using this technique. In order to fabricate an aligned porous structure, unidirectional freezing followed by freeze drying and sintering is employed. By controlling the temperature gradient during freezing of powder slurry, a unidirectional ice-ceramic structure is obtained. The frozen specimen is then subjected to freeze drying to sublimate the ice. The obtained capillary-porous ceramic specimen is consolidated by sintering. The sintering of the graded structure is modeled by the continuum theory of sintering.
