The gas adsorption isotherm requires accurate measurement for the analysis of porous materials and is used as an index of surface area, pore distribution, and adsorption amount of gas. Basically, adsorption isotherms of porous materials are measured conventionally at 77K and 87K using liquid nitrogen and liquid argon. The cold volume calibration in this conventional method is done simply by splitting a sample cell into two zones (cold and warm volumes) by controlling the level sensor in a Dewar filled with liquid nitrogen or argon. As a result, BET measurement for textural properties is mainly limited to liquefied gases (i.e. N2 or Ar) at atmospheric pressure. In order to independently investigate other gases (e.g. hydrogen isotopes) at cryogenic temperature, a novel temperature control system in the sample cell is required, and consequently cold volume calibration at various temperatures becomes more important. In this study, a cryocooler system is installed in a commercially available BET device to control the sample cell temperature, and the automated cold volume calibration method of temperature variation is introduced. This developed calibration method presents a reliable and reproducible method of cryogenic measurement for hydrogen isotope separation in porous materials, and also provides large flexibility for evaluating various other gases at various temperature.

The characteristics of extracts and precipitates after extraction at different water temperature (25, 50, 75, 95oC), ethanol ratio (25, 50, 75, 100%), and extraction method (stir, soak, autoclave) of yam powder and raw yam were investigated. The total polyphenol content was the highest in the 50% ethanol extract of yam powder. The DPPH radical scavenging activity was the highest in the 75% ethanol extraction and the crude saponin content was the highest in the 95oC water extraction. Tyrosinase inhibitory activity was the highest in 95oC water extraction, low concentration of ethanol extraction, and autoclave extraction. The peak viscosity, trough, and final viscosity of the precipitates increased after ethanol extraction, whereas decreased after the 95oC water extraction and the autoclave, indicating the destruction of starch granules. This was confirmed by observing the starch granules broken using the SEM. The significance of this study was to investigate the possibility of the use of yam resources as a material, processing product development, skin beauty functional food and cosmetic material.

Temperature distribution studies were performed in steam-air retort to investigate the influence of various processing conditions (come-up time, sterilization temperature, and internal pressure throughout the steam-air retort). Retort temperature data were analyzed for temperature deviations during holding phase, maximum temperature difference between test locations at the beginning and after 1, 3, and 5 min of the holding phase, and box-and-whiskers plots for each location during the holding phase. The results showed that high sterilization temperature led to a more uniform temperature distribution than low sterilization temperature (pasteurization). In pasteurization condition, the temperature stability was slightly increased by increasing pressure during the holding phase. On the other hand, the temperature stability was slightly decreased in high sterilization temperature condition. Programming of the comeup phase did not affect the temperature uniformity. In addition, the slowest cold spot was found at the bottom floor during the holding phase in all conditions. This study determined that the temperature distribution is affected by retort processing conditions, but the steam-air retort needs more validation tests for temperature stability.

Recently magnesium alloy sheet has been used as a lightweight material in transportation area. Warm forming is a forming method that improves formability and reduces springback. The magnesium alloy sheet has a characteristic that large difference of flow stress increases depending on strain rate at high temperature. These characteristics cause low dimensional accuracy of formed products. In this study, experiments were performed on the 2D-draw bending with respect to the temperature and forming speed in order to investigate the effects of strain rate and temperature. It was found that as the temperature increases, spinrgback of 2D-draw bending decreased and formability of AZ31B increased. Additionally, the effect of the punch speed was investigated. At 250°C, as the punch speed increased, the springback of 2D-draw bending decreased.

High voltage impulse(HVI) has been gained attention as an alternate technique controlling CaCO3 scale formation. Investigation of key operational parameters for HVI is important, however, those had not been reported yet. In this study, the effect of temperature and applied voltage of HVI on Ca2+ concentration was studied. As the applied voltage from 0 to 15kV and the temperature increased from 20 to 60°C, the Ca2+ concentration decreased, indicating that the aqueous Ca2+ precipitated to CaCO3. The Ca2+ concentration decreased up to 81% under the condition of 15kV and 60°C. Rate constant for the precipitation reaction, k was determined under different temper1ature and voltage. The reaction rate constant under the 15kV and 60°C condition was evaluated to 66☓10-3 L/(mmol·hr), which was 5 times greater than the k of the reaction without HVI at same temperature. The increases in k by HVI at higher temperature region(40 to 60°C) was much greater than at lower temperature region(20 to 40°C), which implies temperature is more important parameter than voltage for reducing Ca2+ concentration at high temperature region. These results show that the HVI induction accelerates the precipitation to CaCO3, particularly much faster at higher temperature.

클로버씨스트선충(Heterodera trifolii)은 우리나라 고랭지에서 배추에 피해를 주는 주요 씨스트선충으로 최근에 분포가 확인되었다. 본 연구는 온도와 접종밀도에 따른 클로버씨스트선충의 증식에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 수행하였다. 15~30℃ 온도조건에서 클로버씨스트선 충이 증식되었으며 20℃에서 암컷 성충 수, 알 수, 씨스트 수 모두 가장 많았다. 접종밀도에 따른 클로버씨스트선충의 증식은 접종밀도가 높아질 수록 암컷 씨스트선충의 수가 증가하는 경향이었는데 토양 1 g당 16개의 알 처리 시 증식량, 알 수, 씨스트 수 모두 가장 많았다. 암컷 씨스트 수와 알 수는 접종밀도에 상관없이 배추가 케일에 비하여 많이 형성되어 배추가 케일보다 클로버씨스트선충의 증식에 유리한 기주였다.

The toxic dinoflagellate Gymnodinium catenatum isolated from the southern coast of Korea was described under light and scanning electron microscopy, and its large subunit (LSU) rDNA was sequenced. In addition, the effects of temperature and salinity on its growth were investigated. The cells of G. catenatum, as viewed under the electronic microscope, were green-brown color, 38.1-77.4 μm in length and 26.1-40.8 μm in width. The epicone was conical, while the hypocone was trapezoidal. The nucleus was located at the central part of the cell. The apical groove was horseshoe-shaped and small pores were irregularly distributed on the cell surface. Molecular phylogeny based on LSU rDNA gene sequences showed that the Korean G. catenatum and previously reported species formed a monophyletic clade within Gymnodinium sensu stricto clade. The maximum growth rate of 0.37 day-1, was obtained at 25°C and 35 psu, and the maximum cell density of 1,073 cells mL-1, was observed at 20°C and 25 psu. However, G. catenatum did not grow at temperature <15°C and <30°C. These results suggest that environmental conditions of summer and autumn in the southern coast of Korea may be favorable for the growth of G. catenatum.
