1) The decrease in strength of Raschel twines at Raschel joints is regarded to be due mainly to the frictional force between yarns and the unbalanced tensile distribution by the deformation of the joints. The rate of the decrease is about $13\%$ in lengthwise pull and 22 to $26\%$ in breadthwise pull. 2) The 3-course joint is less in deformation and stronger than the 2-course joint in all cases of pulls. 3) The variation of Raschel joint strength $T_R$ with the angle $\varphi$ between the adjacent bars is expressed as $T_R=T_{R0}-k\varphi$ where $T_{R0}$ is the strength at $\varphi=0^{\circ}$ and K is a constant. 4) The tensile strength ${\sigma}R$ and tile breaking energy $E_R$ of Raschel netting are given by $${\sigma}R=KN\;or\;${\sigma}R=T_RN$$ and $$E_R=AN$$ respectively, where N is the number of meshes at the pulling side, and K and A are constants. But the breaking energy of the netting is almost constant independent of tile variation of N. 5) The Raschel netting with some bars cut already breaks from tile joints of the bars next to the cut bars and its tensile strength, breaking energy, and breaking elongation decrease largily even if only one bar is in already cut state. 6) The tearing strength of Raschel netting is almost equal to the tensile strength of its single joint pulled by two bars. 7) The twisted joint is much more excellent in strength than the knot or the Raschel joint. The knot strength is 69 to $76\%$, and the Raschel joint strength is 71 to $74\%$ in lengthwise pull and 62 to $67\%$ in breadthwise pull, respectively, of the twisted joint strength.

Effects of roasting on physical (weight, volume, density and color) and chemical properties (total phenol, caffeine, chlorogenic acid and antioxidant properties) of three Arabica coffee beans (Brazil Bourbon, Indonesia Mandheling and Kenya Tatu) were investigated. A steady weight loss, volume increase, and bean density decrease were observed during the roasting process. The $L^*$, $a^*$, and $b^*$ values tended to decrease as the roasting temperature and time increased. Caffeine level was approximately 0.73% in green beans, and increased to 40-67% for darker roasts. Green beans contained the highest chlorogenic acid content, which decreased as the roasting temperature and time increased. The light- and medium-roasted coffee showed the highest total phenolol contents. The antioxidant activities were measured using DPPH and ABTS. The light-roasted coffee beans showed the highest antioxidant activities, and an approximately 36-51% loss in antioxidant activity was observed after further roasting. The flavor patterns of roasted coffee beans were analyzed using an electronic nose system based on gas chromatography. This analysis demonstrated that an electronic nose system can be applied to identify the green bean variety and the degree of roasting.

The existing middle-long span railway bridge has been mainly applied to steel box girder bridges. However, the steel box girder bridges have disadvantages in securing the space under the bridge, and the main girder is made of a thin plate box shape, resulting in a ringing noise due to the vibration. Many complaints about noise have been raised. For this reason, there is a need for the development of long railway bridges that can replace steel box girder bridges. In this paper, the characteristics of the steel composite railway bridge currently developed were introduced and a time history analysis was conducted using MIDAS Civil reflecting the speed of KTX load for 40m and 50m bridges. In addition, from the analysis results, the dynamic behavior of target bridges were verified and it was examined whether they meet the dynamic performance criteria proposed in the railway design standards. As a result, all of the bridges under review satisfied the dynamic safety criteria, however, in case of 40m of span, the vertical acceleration value was very large. In order to solve this problem, authors proposed the improvement plan and corrected the cross section to confirm that the vertical acceleration decreased.

The effects of vinegar, alcohol and ascorbic acid on the color, microorganism, sensory properties and flavor pattern of minced ginger (MG) were investigated during storage for 28 days at $30^{\circ}C$. The values of L (lightness), a (redness) and b (yellowness) of the control (T-0) and all the treatments changed slightly at the initial stage of storage, however the elapse of time accelerated the changes. The total bacterial counts of T-0 showed $5.37{\times}10^7\;CFU/g$ at the initial stage, but the MG-treatments decreased the bacteria above 4 log compared to T-0. It was showed that the additives were effective for inhibition of the growth of microorganism. Sensory properties of flavor intensity test showed no significant difference between T-0 and MG-treatments (p < 0.05). The result of volatile flavor contents of electronic nose analyzer (ENZ) showed that MG-treatments (T-I, T-II, T-III) was recognized stronger than non-treatment at the initial stage, but the change of flavor compound were stabilized soon regardless of type or quantity of additives during total storage period at $30^{\circ}C$.

The study was conducted to confirm the possibility of producing alcohol beverages from Dae-hong peaches. Upon examining the quality characteristics of distilled soju using Dae-hong peaches, the alcohol content was 1.12 to 1.16 times higher than that from the atmospheric distillation method. Soju with 20 % peach extract content had the highest alcohol content and the lowest volatile acid content, indicating a low possibility of causing irritating odors. Acetaldehyde was 1.3-1.94 times lower in vacuum-distilled soju, and methanol was not detected in all samples. The absorbance value of furfural, a burnt component generated during distillation is high in atmospheric distillation, which can cause irritating odors. Upon examining the volatile fragrance components, isoamylalcohol and 1-propanol were found to be the main components, both of which were the highest in the treatment group with 20 % peach extract content. The electronic nose analysis revealed that this group showed the most opposing flavor patterns to the control group, and when distilled under reduced pressure with 20 % addition of Dae-hong peaches can produce high-quality soju.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of the fog-cooling system on the growth and yield characteristics of two large-fruited paprika cultivars during summer cultivation season. The temperature inside the greenhouse equipped with fog-cooling system was $2-3^{\circ}C$ lower than that in the control. The results of study show the possibilities of maintaining indoor temperatures below $35^{\circ}C$ and relative humidity at the level of 80% using fogcooling system during hot seasons of the year. Plant height, fruit weight and number of fruits per plant were higher for both cultivars in the fog-cooling treatment compared to those in control. Mean fruit weight and yield per unit area were higher in the fog-cooling treatment than those in the control. However there were no significant differences in sugar content, flesh thickness and locule number of fruits due to fog-cooling system. Number of fruits with epidermal cracking was decreased in the fog-cooling system for both paprika cultivars. Mineral contents of plants such as nitrogen (N), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), were not affected due to fog-cooling treatment.

In this study, a series of column test as a way in order to make up for the weakness point of the conventional acceleration method were conducted to both propose the suction board drain method and grapes the specific improvement character of this method as a result of a sort of plastic drain board and a phase of vacuum pressure conditions. On this occasion, the study focused on computing the effective factors of the fittest Suction board drain method affected by each condition through confirming the settlement generated during the test, the water content reduction and stress increase effect occurred arising from the test, and the ratio of consolidation related to the improvement period. In accordance with the shape of core and that whether the core is attached to the filter(pocket or adhesion), the castle type of adhesion and the column type of pocket are more efficient than the others as a consequence of the test to find out the improvement effect depending on each drainage such as a castle type, coil type, harmonica type, column type of pocket and a castle of the adhesion. In case of the step suction pressure, the shorter the period of $-0.8\;kg/cm^2$ as a final step of the suction pressure is, the better the improvement is. In addition, the correlation between degree of consolidation per each suction pressure level and duration of application was drawn as a curve and the point of inflection on this curve was provided to determine the duration period to maximize the consolidation.

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are a stable and an effective system that protects cell-impermeable biologically active compounds such as nucleic acids, proteins, and peptides against degradation caused by subtle environmental changes. This study focuses on developing LNPs encapsulating gallic acid (GA), an antioxidant, to effectively prolong the half-life of tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate (THDC), a oil-soluble vitamin C derivative. These LNPs were synthesized in small, uniform sizes at room temperature and pressure conditions using a microfluidics chip. Compared to liposomes manufactured under high pressure and high temperature conditions through conventional microfluidizers, LNPs manufactured through microfluidics chips had excellent dispersion and temperature stability, and improved skin absorption as well as improved oxidative stability of fat-soluble vitamin C derivatives. Future studies will focus on ex vivo and in vivo evaluations to study skin improvement to further validate these results.

Purpose To identify the imaging features indicative of sarcoid-like reactions in patients with intrathoracic lymphadenopathy after complete remission of malignancies. Materials and Methods This study enrolled five patients with histopathologically confirmed sarcoid-like reactions that developed after cancer remission. The clinical features and findings of CT and ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT were assessed. Results The underlying malignancies included breast, nasopharyngeal, colon, and endometrial cancer and lymphoma. The time intervals between complete remission of malignancy and the diagnosis of sarcoid-like reaction ranged from 6 to 78 months. CT findings of sarcoid-like reaction included bilateral hilar and mediastinal lymphadenopathies (n = 5), pulmonary nodules (1-15 mm) with peribronchovascular, fissural, or subpleural distribution, and interlobular interstitial thickening in the lungs (n = 4). ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT revealed hypermetabolic uptake in the mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes and both lungs in the absence of extrathoracic uptake (n = 3). The sarcoid-like reactions resolved in all patients after corticosteroid treatment. Conclusion In patients with complete remission of malignancies, newly developed bilateral hilar and mediastinal lymphadenopathies with or without pulmonary nodules of perilymphatic distribution, in the absence of recurrence at the primary tumor site and extrathoracic metastasis, may suggest a sarcoid-like reaction. Such cases warrant histologic evaluation of the lymph nodes to prevent unnecessary systemic chemotherapy.

Pinellia tripartita(Blume) Schott is a herbaceous perennial plant belonging to the Araceae and distributed on Asia including of Korea, Japan, and China. P. tripartita is often used for gardening but has not been developed mass-breeding methods. In this study, we compared the tuber growth in different combinations of mixed soils used six compositions. Tubers used to study was cultured in vitro and divided into two groups. Type I was diameter more than 1cm and the group of Type II was diameter below than 1cm. Enlargement of tubers and growth of aerial parts were measuring the plant height, number of fresh leaves and dead leaves, number of bullets, tuber size, and fresh / dry weight. The size/weight and numbers of tubers from the mixed soil B (coir 68.0%, peat moss 14.7%, perlite 3.0%, vermiculite 7.0% and zeolite 7.0%) were the best grown up for eight weeks. In case of Type I, GI (Growth index) of tuber size and weight were 45% and 101%, respectively. The difference of growth was doubled compared to the bad growth treatment as the mixed soil E(Coir 14.3%, peat moss 14.3%, perlite 42.9%, vermiculite 14.3%, and zeolite 14.3%). These results could be used as the basic information for the similar experimental design for the P. ternata.
