Oxidative factors of lipid in the roasted laver Porphyra tenera(RL) and roasted-seasoned laver(R-SL) depending on various light sources, water activities, packaging materials and storage temperatures were investigated by peroxide value and color. Major fatty acids of RL were 46.4% eicosapentaenoic acid and 14.9% palmitic acid. Lipid oxidation was decreased in order of darkness, incandescent and fluorescent, decreased sharply with the decrease of water activity and temperature, and also reduced by the packaging material with strong barriers of water vapor, oxygen and light. From kinetics of lipid oxidation, it was supposed that oxidation of R-SL was three times faster than RL. On the other hand, reduction of the total chlorophyll content in RL was stronger than R-SL.

In the recycling procedure of the refrigerator, the fire frequently breaks out. In this study, to clarify the exact cause of the fire, the components and concentration of the materials produced in the process are analysed as well as the problems in the process system, and the protective measure to prevent the fire and the explosion fundamentally is proposed. In this procedure, the preventive measures of fire by removing the combustible materials such as polyurethane and inflammable gases, by removing the ignition sources and by reducing the oxygen concentration to the minimum are proposed along with the protective measures to reduce the damage in the fire. In the crushing procedure where the fire or explosion can break out in diverse ways, the forced ventilation or exhaust system applied to the small partial ventilation facility are installed to reduce the concentration of inflammable gas mixture to lower than the inflammable limit by injecting and exhausting the air forcibly.

Quality change of Kimchi packaged with Ny/PE, Ny/CPP (PPtray+Ny/CPP cover), Cryovac BK-1, BK-4, and PET/Al/PE film was observed during storage at $5^{\circ}C$ (97%RH) and $20^{\circ}C$ (76%RH). To evaluate quality change of Kimchi, gas composition of package, pH, acidity, color, growth of lactic acid bacteria, and sensory score were measured periodically. Regarding to gas composition of package, Kimchi packaged with PET/Al/PE showed higher oxygen concentration at the beginning of storage than the others; carbon dioxide concentration was almost 100% at the end of storage. Carbon dioxide concentration of Kimchi packaged with Cryovac BK-1 and BK-4 which has higher gas permeability than the others, was increased to a maximum and then decreased due to permeation of gas during storage; oxygen concentration was increased. Unlike Kimchi packaged with Ny/PE, Ny/CPP, and PET/Al/PE, package swelling was not observed in Kimchi packaged with Cryovac BK-1 and BK-4 during storage. Although pH change was not significant depending on the packaging material, Kimchi packaged with Cryovac BK-1 and BK-4 showed lower pH value and higher acidity than those of the others. Color change of Kimchi was different depending on the packaging material during storage. Difference of the growth of lactic acid bacteria and sensory evaluation were not significant among Kimchi packaged with different packaging material during storage at either temperature. In conclusion, the effect of packaging materials on the quality change of Kimchi was not significant; however, to prevent from swelling of packaged Kimchi which is one of the most serious problem during storage and distribution, might be avoided by using relatively high $CO_2$ permeable film than high gas barrier film.

An experimental study was carried out on a reduced scale tunnel model to grasp the behavioral feature of fire-induced smoke in the long tunnels. Based on Froude modeling, the 1/50 scaled tunnel model (20 m long) was constructed by acrylic tubes and paraffin gas was released inside the tunnel to simulate the 20 MW fire-induced smoke. me test results show, that after approximately 2 minutes of fire generation, was descended from the tunnel ceiling through the decrease of buoyancy, then it was symmetrically propagated about 90 meters for 4 minutes before jet fans were operated. The smoke was effectively controlled when the jet fans were operated and an air stream velocity was getting closed to reach a critical velocity (the minimum air velocity that requires to suppress the smoke spreading against the longitudinal ventilation flow during the tunnel fire situations). It was also found out that a range of smoke was spreaded about 3 meters from the origin of fire but the range was not propagated to the escape direction anymore. The early stage of the In operation, however, showed that the smoke was hardly controlled. It means that the operation of emergency ventilation system has many dangerous factors such as an intercepting breathing zone.

A flow sensor has been fabricated by preparing thin film Pt-heater and Bi-Sb thermocouples array on 150 nm-$Si_{3}N_{4}$/300 nm-$SiO_{2}$/150 nm-$Si_{3}N_{4}$ dielectric diaphragm which has low thermal conductivity and balanced stress with silicon substrate for the purpose of improving the thermal isolation between heater and silicon substrate. Pt-heater showed nonlinear I-V characteristics due to the thermal isolation effect of the diaphragm. Its temperature coefficient of resistance was about $0.00378\;/^{\circ}C$ and Seebeck coefficient of Bi-Sb thermocouple was about $97\;{\mu}V/K$. The sensor showed that thermoelectric voltage decreased as thermal conductivity of gas increased, and flow sensitivity increased as heater voltage increased or as the distance between heater and thermocouple decreased. When heater voltage was about 2.5 V, $N_{2}$-flow sensitivity and thermal response time of the sensor were about $1.27\;mV{\cdot}(sccm)^{-1/2}$ and 0.13 sec., respectively.

Tightness performance that blocks compartments is important for surface ships to achieve superior mission performance and survivability in combat environments. To meet the above requirements, airtightness of the structural elements and the appropriate strength to specific areas are checked during a test run after ship construction. In particular, air tests of compartments adjacent to the water surface are performed. In an air test, air is injected into the compartment up to the test pressure of the test memo. The pressure drop value is checked after 10 minutes to determine if the requirements of the corresponding area are satisfied. In summer, however, when the influence of the outside temperature is large, a phenomenon in which the internal pressure increases during the air test was identified. This phenomenon reduces the reliability of the test result. Therefore, a system was designed to compensate for temperature changes in the compartments through this study. The developed system calculates the amount of pressure change caused by a temperature change in the compartment and outputs a correction value. The pressure change was calculated using the ideal gas equation, reflecting the maintenance, increase, and decrease in temperature during the test process. A comparison of the calculated pressure correction value with the database of NIST REFPROP revealed a difference of 0.126% to a maximum of 0.253%.

Microbial lethal value and nutrient retention of sous vide processed spinach were evaluated with mathematical model prediction and experimental trial for different package sizes and pasteurization temperatures. The package size covers 500 g, 1 kg and 2 kg, while the pasteurization temperature includes 80, 90 and 97$^{\circ}C$. The basic process scheme consists of filling blanched spinach into barrier plastic film pouch, sealing under vacuum, pasteurization in hot water with over pressure and final cooling to 3$^{\circ}C$. Pasteurization condition was designed based on attainment of 6 decimal inactivation of Listeria monocytogenes at geometric center of the pouch package by heating cycle, which was determined by general method. Heat penetration property of the package and thermal destruction kinetics were combined to estimate the retention of ascorbic acid and chlorophyll. Smaller packages with shorter pasteurization time gave better nutrient retention, physical and chemical qualities. Larger package size was estimated and confirmed experimentally to give higher pasteurization value at center, lower ascorbic acid and chlorophyll contents caused by longer heat process time. Lower pasteurization temperature with longer process time was predicted to give lower pasteurization value at center and lower ascorbic acid, while chlorophyll content was affected little by the temperature. Experimental trial showed better retention of ascorbic acid and chlorophyll for smaller package and higher pasteurization temperature with shorter heating time. The beneficial effect of smaller package and higher pasteurization temperature was also observed in texture, color retention and drip production.

The worldwide effects of COVID-19 have led to a surge in online shopping and contactless services. The consumption pattern has caused the issues such as the environmental pollution together with the increase of plastic waste. Reducing the reliance on the petroleum based plastic use for the package and replacing it with environmentally friendly material are the simple ways in order to solve those problems. Paper is an eco-friendly product with high recyclability as the food packaging materials but has still poor barrier properties. A barrier coating on surface of the paper can be achieved with the proper packaging materials featuring water, gas and grease barrier. Polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP) coatings which are generally laminated or coated to paper are widely used in food packaging applications to protect products from moisture and provide water or grease resistance. However, recycling of packaging containing PE or PP matrix is limited and costly because those films are difficult to degrade in the environment. This study investigated the recyclability of modified acrylic emulsion coating papers compared to PE and PP polymer matrixes as well as their mechanical and gas barrier properties. The results showed that PE or modified acrylic emulsion coated papers had better mechanical properties compared to the uncoated paper as a control. PE or PP coating papers showed strong oil resistance property, achieving a kit rating of 12. Those papers also had a significantly higher percentage of screen reject during the recycling process than modified acrylic coated paper which had a screen rejection rate of 6.25%. In addition an uncoated paper had similar value of a screen rejection rate. It may suggest that modified acrylic emulsion coating paper can be more easily recycled than PE or PP coating papers. The overall results of the study found that modified acrylic emulsion coating paper would be a viable alternative to suggest a possible solution to an environmental problem as well as enhancing the weak mechanical and poor gas barrier properties of the paper against moisture.
