Biological functionality of nineteen commercially available carbonated vinegar liquors including wood vinegar liquor (WVL), bamboo vinegar liquor (BVL) and chaff vinegar liquor (CVL) were evaluated, focusing mainly on electron donating ability to DPPH radical, reducing power against ferricyanide ($Fe^{3+}$), blockading ability to linoleic acid autoxidation and NO production from LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells plus cytotoxicity to RAW264.7 cells. The results showed that crude carbonated vinegar liquors, regardless of their source materials, have high capacity of antioxidation such as electron donating ability, reducing power, blockading ability to lipid peroxidation and NO production, as well as cell cytotoxicity. Refined carbonated vinegar liquors for skin care or bath showed significantly low cell cytotoxicity, however, overall antioxidant potencies were also low. Especially, these carbonated vinegar liquors revealed low levels of inhibition for NO production deeply involved in inflammation. Among nineteen carbonated vinegar liquors examined, chaff vinegar liquor was observed to be the most potent carbonated vinegar liquor with high antioxidant activities together with low cytotoxicity to mammalian cells.

The purpose of this study is to understand dogs for their happy lives. Experiment and survey were conducted to find out the effects of sensory stimulation on dogs emotions. Sensory were divided into visual, auditory, olfactory, tactile, complex and emotions were measured by the rate of deep sleep, feed intake, and heart rate. Research has shown that complex stimulation (walking) is the most positive stimulation for dog's emotions, but visual stimulation and auditory stimulation do not act as stimuli that positively change usual state of dog's emotions. Olfactory stimuli is the second best stimulation. Since olfactory stimulation is effective in maintaining a calm state without large deviation in the dog's state, it can be used as a method for relieving the dog's stress in exceptional situations when complex stimulation is not possible. On the other hand, tactile stimulation, bath, is a negative sensory stimulus that causes hypersomnia and binge eating for most dogs.

The work presents a realistic human exposure assessment of indoor radon released from groundwater in a house. At first, a two-compartment model is developed to describe the generation and transfer of radon in indoor air from groundwater. The model is used to estimate radon concentrations profile of indoor air in a house us]ng by showering, washing clothes, and flushing toilets. Then, the study performs an uncertainty analysis of model input parameters to quantify the uncertainty in radon concentration profile. In order to estimate a daily internal dose of a specific tissue group in an adult through the inhalation of such indoor radon, 3 PBPK(Physiologically-Based Pharmaco-Kinetic) model is developed. Combining indoor radon profile and PBPK model is used to a realistic human assessment for such exposure. The results obtained from this study would be used to the evaluation of human risk by inhalation associated with the indoor radon released from groundwater.

Recently, the chance of dew condensation in apartment buildings is increasing because of several reasons. For example, ventilation rate has been decreased because of high-insulations and airtightness for saving energy. Besides, the humidity has been made by drying washes, cooking and bathing inside of apartment buildings. However, there is lack of resonable design criteria for preventing condensation in real life and real surroundings. Therefore, this study is aimed at making a resonable design criteria of preventing condensation by measuring the indoor temperature and humidity in real life. In addition to this, it is aimed at making a resonable outdoor condition and classifying regions by using weather data. The following are the results. The interior criterion for condensation was set up $25^{\circ}C$ and a relative humidity of 55%. The outdoor criterion for condensation was set up $20^{\circ}C$, $-15^{\circ}C$, and $10^{\circ}C$ respectively for the hard frost, middle, and southern areas.
