The Sasa quelpaertensis Nakai is a white band on the edge of the leaf, the branch is not split, the stem is small, and the shape of the node is different from that of the inland bamboo (Sasa borealis Makino). It is known as a plant that is highly likely to be used as a resource plant. Various efficacy studies such as antioxidant, anti-obesity, antibacterial and antidiabetic activities have been conducted and developed as functional cosmetics and beverage products. Unfortunately there is little research on the suitability of the product. In order to use S. quelpaertensis as a raw material for food or health functional food, S. quelpaertensis leaves were collected monthly for one year to prepared 70% ethanol extract(SQEP) and water extract(SQWP). After, the content of index component(p-coumaric acid) in SQEP and SQWP was analyzed by HPLC. For the study of the processing properties, the SQWP was prepared considering the content of the index component and extraction yield(%). Also, the stability of index component according to pH(2.5, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10.0) condition and stability of index component according to temperature condition(25℃, 35℃, 40℃) were studied. Through this process ability(properties) study, we suggest that the SQWP may be used as a product material of health functional foods.

Ramie (Boehmeria nivea M.) has been used for fiber materials in Korea traditionally, but in recent years, the concern with ramie leaves for the food industry such as tteok (a kind of Korean rice cake) industry has been increasing, so a study for eatable ramie is required for the expansion of ramie consumption. Moreover, the ramie varieties for the food industry are not established, so the natural species are cultivated in general; therefore, it is very important to select the ramie varieties for the food industry such as rice cakes, tea, beverage and so on. This study was undertaken to compare the physiochemical properties among 9 ramie lines selected in the Yeonggwang-gun Agricultural Technology Center to select the eatable ramie varieties for the food industry. The contents of the protein among 9 ramie lines was 6.21~7.56% and had the highest content in the YG55. The folic acid (folate) and vitamin C content had varying differences among the 9 lines; the content of folate showed 771.52~1,978.84 μg%, that of vitamin C showed 149.42~275.34 mg%. The ACE inhibitory activity appeared to be the highest in YG88 (21.5%) among the 9 ramie varieties tested.

In this study, the potential of biodiesel fuel and oxygenated fuel (ethylene glycol mono-n-butyl ether; EGBE) was investigated as an effective method of decreasing the smoke emission. The smoke emission of blending fuel (EGBE 0~20 vol-%) was reduced in comparison with diesel fuel and it was reduced approximately 64% at 2000 rpm, full load in the 20% of blending rate. But torque and brake specific energy consumption (BSEC) didn't have large differences. Also, the effects of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) on the characteristics of NOx emission has been investigated. Consequently, it was found that simultaneous reduction of smoke and NOx was achieved with biodiesel fuel and oxygenated fuel(10%) and cooled EGR rates (5~10%) in a DI diesel engine.

This study was performed to determine the optimal time of harvest for ramie leaves with the two varieties (Seocheon Seobang and Seoncheon Baekpi) by comparison of physiological activity and physicochemical characteristics. The crude protein, minerals, ascorbic acid, folate, chlorophyll, ACE inhibitory activity and AChE inhibitory activity were determined. The amount of crude protein in ramie leaf, which was collected in Seocheon-gun, Chungcheongnam-do, grew up steadily from early May to September. The content of calcium in was higher in Baekpi than in Seobang. Seobang displayed its highest value of 3,569.90 mg% in September, while Baekpi displayed its highest value of 3,163.84 mg% in October. Although, folate and vitamin C contents in the two varieties were slightly different, they were higher as the growth date grew in October. The highest value of chlorophyll content was observed in October, which was later in the vegetative state. ACE inhibitory activity and AChE inhibitory activity appeared to be higher in Baekpi than in Seobang. Between June and August, ACE inhibitory activity was highest in Baekpi variety.

Based on the bamboo texts of the early Western Han dynasty excavated at Zhangjiashan, this thesis investigates the evolution of Han characters by tracing the origin of form mélange of radicals and components in Han characters. In this thesis, “mélange” refers to the phenomenon of miswriting characters and radicals of different forms, pronunciations and meanings, or components of irrelevant forms and meanings as those of the same form, without limiting to the mélange of characters of similar forms. First, the author set the prototypes of different sets of mixed radicals or components in the Zhangjiashan Han Bamboo Texts in order to restore their original appearances. Then, the author traced if the writing of particular mixed radicals or components are found in the survived bronzeware script of the Western Zhou dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Period, the characters of the six countries in the Warring Period or the characters of the Qin dynasty. The author also examined the influence on form mélange of the “clerical script transformation” where “contours” were transformed into “strokes” in Han characters, to elucidate the radical or component mélange of the Zhangjiashan Han Bamboo Texts.

Bee venom contains a variety of toxic components, including vitellogenin, which display various biological, toxicological,and pharmacological activities. However, the biological actions of vitellogenin, a venom protein in bee venom, remainlargely unknown. Here, we demonstrate that Asiatic honeybee (Apis cerana) venom vitellogenin (AcV-Vg) exhibits anti-oxidantand anti-microbial activities. AcV-Vg is expressed in the venom gland and is then secreted into venom. The recombinantAcV-Vg protein was produced in baculovirus-infected insect cells. We found that AcV-Vg reduced cytotoxicity and oxidativedamage against oxidative stress. Furthermore, AcV-Vg bound to microbial surfaces and induced structural damage in themicrobial cell walls, which, in turn, exhibited anti-microbial activity against bacteria and fungi. Together, our data demonstratedthat the bee venom protein AcV-Vg has multifunctional roles as an anti-oxidant and anti-microbial agent.

The changes in the aroma and spoilage odor emitted from eleven ‘Hongro’ apples during ten weeks’ storage were investigated using six types of metal oxide semiconductor gas sensor arrays. The gas sensors used in the evaluation were sensitive to apple-emitted aroma or spoilage odor, and a high reproducibility of 5% relative standard deviation or less was confirmed. Significantly, the change in apple-emitted aroma or spoilage odor was easily distinguished by the optimal gas sensor and a significant correlation (r=0.992) between decay rate and sensitivity change was observed. The results of a principal component analysis of the signal patterns obtained by data standardization using the optimal gas sensor showed a clear classification between decayed sampler groups and undecayed sampler groups.

Beneficial effects of glucosinolate in Chinese cabbage on human health have propelled researches on biochemical and genetic characteristics of glucosinolate and Chinese cabbage. However, growth conditions which are practically important in producing functional Chinese cabbage and in optimizing glucosinolate have been little focused. The objective of this study, hence, was to identify growth conditions affecting glucosinolate contents so that the result could be used for further optimizing glucosinolate in Chinese cabbage. We used principal component analysis (PCA) for analyzing glucosinolate contents in Chinese cabbage cultivated under various growth conditions in the plant factory. As a result, PCA showed that two principal components were able to explain more than 76% of variations in glucosinolate contents caused by different growth conditions. The first principal component (PC1) was mainly represented by humidity and temperature, while growth duration was the main component of PC2. From these results, it was conclusive that glucosinolate contents in Chinese cabbage were largely affected by humidity, temperature and growth duration.

The purpose of this survey is to understand and identify how many organizations in Korea understand the importance and necessity of supply management policy. Most of supply management professionals have purchasing process(procedures) regardless of number of ones. However, they are generally not well aware of purchasing policy in supply management department in Korea. Advanced supply management organizations in U.S.A and main Europe countries recognize the necessity of supply management policy and pursue more reasonable one as a guideline of supply management in compliance with the characteristic of its business like national constitution. As the result of the 1st attitude survey and study on supply management policy, first, there is no big differences between public and private organizations to policy components. second, public organizations should have supply management policy considering a social standpoint a little bit differently from private ones. Third, most of supply management organizations have not comprehensive policy. Fourth, they are recognizing the importance and necessity of its policy, even though they don’t have it at the moment. However, in conclusion, through the survey, we find out that most of supply management professionals in Korea begin to recognize the importance and necessity of supply management policy to take a leading role in purchasing process(procedures. Furthermore, we recognize that related supply management experts and organizations including supply management professionals should continuously make an efforts to disseminate the importance and necessity of supply management policy

We performed Principle Component Analysis (PCA) over 264 galaxies in the IRAS Revised Bright Galaxy Sample (Sanders et al., 2003) using 12, 25, 60 and 100 μm ux data observed by IRAS and 9, 18, 65, 90 and 140 μm ux data observed by AKARI. We found that (i)the first principle component was largely contributed by infrared to visible ux ratio, (ii)the second principal component was largely contributed by the ux ratio between IRAS and AKARI, (iii)the third principle component was largely contributed by infrared colors.

In commercial game engines, a method of constructing objects by combining components is often used. Components can be assembled and used at any time as needed. In this paper, the 3D game is developed by applying the component method, which is the object creation method widely used in the commercial game engine, in the DirectX 11 environment. There are four kinds of components used in the in-house 3D game. These are four components such as transform, mesh, script, and collider. The component generation method used in this paper shows very good operation efficiency in terms of reusability. This paper also applied tangent space normal mapping to static and dynamic objects and analyzed performance at various screen resolutions. Performance analysis showed that the average rendering speed was 64.6% higher on the low resolution screen than on the high resolution screen. And the rendering speed of model G with normal mapping to all objects among the 8 simulation models is improved by 19.2% compared with model B without normal mapping. The presence or absence of normal mapping has the greatest effect on rendering speed.

Bee venom is a complex mixture of toxic components that induces immediate local inflammatory and allergic responses. However, the presence and role of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in bee venom have not been previously investigated. Here, we provide the first demonstration that bee venom contains Cu,Zn SOD (SOD3), a novel extracellular component that promotes local inflammation. Bee venom SOD3 was shown to be an oxidant, rather than an antioxidant, that induces the inflammation-signaling molecule H2O2 in vivo. H2O2 plays a pathological role by triggering an immediate local inflammatory response. Furthermore, bee venom SOD3 significantly induced the activation of proinflammatory mediators (TNF-α and COX-2) and cytokines (IL-1β and IL-6) via the overproduction of H2O2 in mice. Our data demonstrate that bee venom SOD3 induced H2O2, which drives an immediate local inflammatory response, indicating a novel mechanism underlying bee venom-induced local inflammation.

The purpose of this study was to isolate an active constituent from the essential oil of Eugenia caryophyllata leaves and evaluate its insecticidal activity against Pochazia shantungensis nymphs and adults. According to chromatographic and spectroscopic analyses, the active constituent of E. caryophyllata leaves was identified as eugenol. Based on LC50 values and structural analogues of eugenola gainst the P. shantungensis nymphs and adults, isoeugenol (LC50, 83.29 and 91.03 mg/L) exhibited the highest insecticidal activity, followed by methyl isoeugenol (105.61 and 114.48 mg/L), eugenol (124.44 and 143.24 mg/L), methyl eugenol (126.31 and 143.84 mg/L), and acetyl eugenol (165.11 and 170.06 mg/L). Insecticidal activity against P. shantungensis was dependent on the presence of a functional group in 4-ally-2-methoxyphenol. These results indicate that E. caryophyllata oil and eugenol analogues might be potential alternative synthetic insecticidal agents.

A Ni-Ti-B alloy powder prepared by mechanical alloying (MA) of individual Ni, Ti, and B components is examined with the aim of elucidating the phase transitions and crystallization during heat treatment. Ti and B atoms penetrating into the Ni lattice result in a Ni (Ti, B) solid solution and an amorphous phase. Differential thermal analysis (DTA) reveals peaks related to the decomposition of the metastable Ni (Ti, B) solid solution and the separation of equilibrium Ni3Ti, TiB2, and τ-Ni20Ti3B6 phases. The exothermal effects in the DTA curves move to lower temperatures with increasing milling time. The formation of a TiB2 phase by annealing indicates that the mechanochemical reaction of the Ni-Ti-B alloy does not comply with the alloy composition in the ternary phase diagram, and Ti-B bonds are found to be more preferable than Ni-B bonds.
