In this study, characterization and performance of membrane humidifier using membrane distillation was evaluated for moisture of fuel gas in the PEMFC. The data were expressed dew point. The best results show $51.19^{\circ}C$ at $60^{\circ}C$ of water temperature, $54.22^{\circ}C$ at 900 mL/min and $60.03^{\circ}C$ at 100 strands. The mass transfer modelling of membrane humidifier were able to predict humidification of fuel gases for operating PEMFC. When the membrane humidifier was applied to the 100 W stack, it showed stable voltage and power. The volume of membrane humidifier was small however, showed better performance than bubble humidifier.

In this study, the fracture energy and displacement fields characteristics of particulate reinforced composite is evaluated. Wedge splitting test was performed at various temperatures. Fracture energy of material is calculated at room temperature, $-40^{\circ}C$ and $-60^{\circ}C$. Displacement and strain fields of specimen surface were visualized by using digital image correlation. The surface displacement fields of the specimens were analyzed by mark tracking method using digital image correlation. The results showed that, the fracture energy was decreased as temperature decreased. The surface displacement fields at room temperature were similar to there at $-40^{\circ}C$. The surface displacement fields at $-60^{\circ}C$ was significantly reduced because of the brittle behavior. The strain fields of the specimen surface decreased as temperature decreased form room temperature to $-60^{\circ}C$.

This experiment was performed to evaluate the morphological responses of the gastric epithelial cells of the mouse, inoculated with Ehrlich carcinoma cells in the inguinal area, following administration of 5-fluorouracil, mitomycin C or Acriflavine-Guanosine compound (AG60). In this study, each mouse was inoculated with $1{\times}10^7$ Ehrlich carcinoma cells subcutaneously in the inguinal area. From next day after inoculations, 0.2 mL of saline, 5-fluorouracil (30 mg/kg), mitomycin C ($400{\mu}g/kg$) or AG60 (30 mg/kg) were injected to the animals every other day, respectively. Each animals were sacrificed after 7th injection and tissue were taken from the gastric mucosa. Thereafter, the ultrathin sections were stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate. In the 5-fluorouracil-, mitomycin C- or AG60-treated mice, myelin figures and multivesicular bodies within the gastric mucous epithelial cells were observed more frequently than those of the normal control. In the 5-fluorouracil-treated mice, membrane structures containing a few mucous granules in the luminal space were observed. Indeed, bulging cytoplasmic process containing mucous granules protruding into the gastric lumen were observed in the mitomycin Ctreated mice. Therefore, this study suggested that AG60 as compared with 5-fluorourail and mitomycin C may effective medicine without damage to the secretion ability of gastric mucous epithelial cells.

This study was carried out in order to investigate oxidative deterioration during dehydration at $40^{\circ}C,\;50^{\circ}C$ and $60^{\circ}C$ of sea mussel and baby clam. Moisture content was decreased with drying temperature and time. Sea mussel was dehydrated more rapidly than baby clam that had Harder muscle tissue. Both samples were not reached to Aw 0.62 in case of 10 hrs drying at $40^{\circ}C$, But it reached within 8 hrs in sea mussel and 10 hrs in baby clam at $50^{\circ}C$, respectively. Even if $60^{\circ}C$ could speed up drying, it caused to form more free fatty acid, peroxide, thiobarbituric acid and brown pigments. Lipophilic brown pigment was 10 times higher than hydrophilic and actively increased in all samples. fluorescence intensity was also increased with drying temperature and time. Particularly, it was higher sea mussel than baby clam more or less.

The relationship between lipoprotein(a) and dyslipidemia is not clear. This study was therefore undertaken to investigate the relationship between lipoprotein(a) and dyslipidemia in elderly patients over 60 years. From 2014 to 2020, a total of 2,580 adults aged 60 years or older (73.31±7.24 years, 1,954 males) were enrolled in the study. The patients had checked into a general hospital, and data were obtained for lipoprotein(a), LDL-C, TG, HDL-C, hs-CRP, HbA1c, sex, age, BMI, dyslipidemia diagnosis, and use of lipid-lowering agents. BMI and HbA1c showed no correlation with lipoprotein(a), but hs-CRP (r=0.138), LDL-C (r=0.097), HDL-C (r=-0.089), TG (r=-0.073), and age (r=0.072) were significantly correlated to lipoprotein(a). The partial correlation between lipoprotein(a) and LDL-C, which was adjusted for variables, was significant only in the male gender (r=0.158, P<0.001). As the odds ratio of the 4^th quartile of lipoprotein(a) (OR=1.376, 95% CI=1.038~1.822) for dyslipidemia was found to be significant in this study when the level of LDL-C, the primary target, could not be reduced even by taking lipid-lowering drugs, we propose that lipoprotein(a) should also be included among the several factors considered as secondary targets. Our results indicate that studies on various lipid factors considering the sex, age, types and use of lipid-lowering agents, are warranted.

This study was performed to provide the basic data for the prediction of the usefulness of onion with cold tolerance cultivated in Kangwon. The physicochemical properties and antioxidant activity of freeze-dried and hot-air-dried (40 and $60^{\circ}C$) onions were investigated. The moisture content of the raw onion was 90.55%. The crude protein and crude fat contents of the freeze-dried onions were slightly higher than those of the hot-air-dried onions ($40^{\circ}C$ and $60^{\circ}C$). As for the color values, the freeze-dried onion powder was highest in lightness (77.19), and the $60^{\circ}C$ hot air-dried onion was highest in redness (6.09) and yellowness (24.60). Moreover, the color difference (${\Delta}E$) between the freeze-dried and hot-air-dried ($40^{\circ}C$ and $60^{\circ}C$) onion powders was significant. The brown index was lower in the freeze-dried onion than in both hot-air-dried onions. The total phenol content and the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH) scavenging activity of both hot-air-dried onions were higher than those of the freeze-dried onion. These results indicate that the freeze-drying methods protected the physicochemical properties of the onion powder, whereas the hot-air-drying method enhanced the antioxidant activity and the total phenol content of the onion powder.

The characters associated with the rice quality and the factors as the proper harvesting time of rice were examined from 2002 to 2004 at Iksan in Honam plaine area. The rice cultivars tested were Samcheonbyeo (Early maturing one). Hwaseongbyeo(Medium maturing one) and Nampyeongbyeo(Mid-late maturing one). The ripened grain rates were high when the harvesting dates after heading were between 50 to 55 days,55 to 60 days, and 60 days for Samcheonbyeo, Hwaseongbyeo and Nampyeongbyeo, respectively. The yield of rice were higher when harvested 45 to 50 days, 50 to 55 days, and 55 to 60 days after heading for Samcheonbyeo, Hwaseongbyeo and Nampyeongbyeo. The highest yields of head rice were obtained when harvested 45 days after heading, 50 days and 55 to 60 days for Samcheonbyeo, Hwaseongbyeo and Nampyeongbyeo. In conclusion, in Honam plain, taking the head rice production, rice quality level, protein content and palatability of rice into account, the best harvest times were found to be 52 days(accumulated temp. : $1,213^{\circ}C$) after heading, 56 days$(1,221^{\circ}C)$, and 60 days $(1,207^{\circ}C)$, for Samcheonbyeo, Hwaseongbyeo and Nampyeongbyeo, respectively.
