The qualities of ginger prepared by an MPD (molecular press dehydration) method using maltodextrin, or dried using reused dehydration liquid, or prepared by freeze-drying or hot-air drying, were compared in terms of approximate overall composition, color, water absorption index, water solubility index, total sugar level, reducing sugar concentration, antioxidant activity, and gingerol content. The approximate composition of ginger prepared by the MPD method was lower in overall biochemical content than were those of gingers prepared using other methods. Ginger prepared by the MPD method retained the original ginger color. The water absorption and solubility index of ginger prepared by the MPD method (using maltodextrin) were better than those of gingers dried using other methods. The total sugar content did not change noticeably upon processing. The reducing sugar content of ginger prepared by hot-air drying was low. The antioxidant activity of ginger prepared by the MPD method was higher than that of freeze-dried and hot air-dried ginger samples, with values lower than those of BHA (3(2)-t-Butyl-4-hydroxyanisole) and BHT (2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol). The gingerol content of ginger prepared by the freeze-drying method was higher than that of gingers prepared by other methods. However, ginger constituents were present in the dehydration liquid used in the MPD method. The results indicate that both the MPD method (using maltodextrin) and the use of reused dehydration liquid are efficient methods by which ginger can be dried.

Owing to the global energy crisis, studies have strongly focused on realizing energy savings through vehicle weight reduction using light metal alloys or polymer composites. Polymer composites afford many advantages including enabling the fabrication of complex shapes by injection molding, and glass and carbon fibers offer improved mechanical properties. However, the high temperature in an engine room and the high humidity during the rainy season can degrade the mechanical properties of the polymer. In this study, the mechanical properties of injection-molded glass-fiber-reinforced polymer were assessed at a temperature of $85^{\circ}C$ and the maximum moisture absorption conditions. The result showed a 23% reduction in the maximum tensile strength under high temperature, 30% reduction under maximum moisture absorption, and 70% reduction under both heat and moisture conditions. For material selection during the design process, the effects of high temperature and high humidity should be considered.

This experiment was carried out to elucidate the effects of silicate and different application forms of N on the uptake of water and N by rice plants. Three rice cultivars, Ilpum, Anda and M202, were grown under the hydroponics in a phytotron. One-hundred ppm silica was applied for silicate treatment. For nitrogen application forms were 100% $NH_4$ and $NH_4+NO_3$ in 2:1 ratio were applied. Silica treatment, compared to silica free, was very effective on the nitrogen uptake and dry weight increase of rice plants. Although silica application demonstrated no significant effect on the amount of water uptake, it improved increased water and nitrogen use efficiency. Therefore, sufficient application of silicate in paddy field will be useful for the growth of rice plants and water saving.

의류, 타월, 와이퍼 등 대부분의 섬유제품은 수분을 흡수하는 능력이 요구되는데, 여기에서 흡수란 고체 표면에 부착되어 있던 비교적 점성이 낮은 액상 물질, 즉 물 및 용제류 등이 섬유 집합체의 표면에 젖으면서 모세관현상에 의해 표면으로부터 내부로 이동한 다음 방출되지 않고 그 상태를 유지하는 현상을 말한다. 이러한 섬유집합체의 흡수 특성을 정확히 규정하기 위해서는 실제와 같은 상황에서 정확하게 흡수 속도와 흡수량을 측정할 수 있는 방법이 요구되는데 기존의 실험 방법들은 미흡한 점이 다소 있었다. (중략)

Two different imide oligomers(6FDA-ODA/APA and 6FDA-MDA/MA) having crosslinkable end groups were prepared by using a solution imidization method and their properties were investigated. Also, semi-interpenetrating polymer networks(semi-IPN) were prepared using the blends of imide oligomers with polyetherimide $Ultem^{(R)}$, which is used in dual-ovenable packaging materials. The characteristic properties of semi-IPN films were interpreted by using TGA, Thin Film Diffusion Analyzer, and WAXD. Molecular weights of imide oligomers were successfully controlled utilizing 2-aminophenylacetylene(APA) and maleic anhydride(MA) as an endcapping agent. Exotherm reactions by crosslinking appeared and the amount of exthotherm heat was linearly increased as the content of imide oligomers was increased. For semi-IPNs of $Ultem^{(R)}$ and imide oligomers, 5% and 10% weight loss temperatures increased as the contents of imide oligomers were increased. Diffusion coefficient and water uptake of semi-IPNs decreased as the content of imide oligomers was increased, which might be resulted from hydrophobic fluorine group and high packing density. It was concluded that relatively low thermal stability and hydrolytic stability of polyetherimide $Ultem^{(R)}$ were improved by incorporating new developed imide oligomers.

The aesthetic restorative materials are widely used in recent dentistry, showed not only the different quality between each component but also showed that the environment of the material has important effect on the physical properties of the material. Especially, when the restoratives are restored in the mouth, and since saliva is existing, the restoratives are always exposed to water and affected by the saliva. The purpose of this study was to research and compare the change of the degree of water sorption after water immersion of three types of the resin-based materials and the compressive strength, and observe the relation between the change of the water absorbing degree and the compressive strength. Z-100(3M, U.S.A) as a composite resin, F-2000(3M, U.S.A) as a compomer and Vitremer Restoratives(3M, U.S.A) as a resin-modified GIC were used, and each specimen was made to measure the water sorption and to evaluate the compressive strength. The specimens for measurement of the water sorption and the compressive strength were divided into 4 groups(1 day, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 8weeks). Each specimen was filled in the 30cc vial with 20cc of distilled water during the fixed amount of period in $37^{\circ}C$. The water sorption is decided by dividing the difference of weight before and after the immersion by the volume, and the compressive strength was measured by using the instron after the immersion. The following results were obtained ; 1. The more the water sorption increased, the more the immersion period of three restorative materials was long. And the most of water sorption was obtained during the first 2 weeks(P<0.001). 2. The water sorption of resin-modified GIC was higher than composite resin and compomer. 3. The more the compressive strength decreased, the more the immersion period of three restorative materials increased(composite resin and compomer: P<0.001, resin-modified GIC: P<0.05). Especially, the amount of the reduction in compressive strength of the composite resin was the highest. 4. The more the water sorption of all materials increased, the more the compressive strength decreased(P<0.05).

This study was carried out to acquire basic data for a long-term hydroponic culture through investigating water and inorganic ion uptake characteristics at different EC level of nutrient solution of three tomato varieties. Three different tomato varieties, the European type(cv. Daphnis), the Asian type(cv. Super Doterang) and cherry type(cv. Minichal), were used for the investigation. Also, the deep flow technique(DFT) was applied. The three different electrical conductivity(EC) level(1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 dS·m-1) of hydroponic nutrient solution were used as variable. At a high EC level of nutrient solution, the leaf area and fresh weight decreased in the early stage, and its growth(plant height, leaf number, leaf area, fresh-weight) was poor with salt stress. Result showed that the higher the EC level of the nutrient solution, the lesser was water uptake. The water uptake was not significantly different from varieties in the first survey, but In the second survey, the 'Daphnis' did not show a significant decrease in water uptake in the EC level higher than 2.0 dS·m-1., on the other hand, 'Super Doterang' presented very low water uptake. At a low EC level, N, P, and K, were absorbed more than the concentration of the irrigation water, while Ca, Mg, S uptake were low. At a high EC level, almost ions absorbed less than 50% of the initial concentration of irrigation water. Thus, imbalance among ions was severe at low EC level compared to high EC level. 'Daphnis' was a variety that effectively utilize nutrients under nutrient stress, showing high absorption at low concentration condition and low absorption at high concentration condition. However, 'Daphnis' suffered most seriously by absorbing nutrients excessively.

In this study, we investigated carbonation-regeneration and agglomeration characteristics of dry sorbents. Experiment has been proceeded in the batch-type reactor, which is made of quartz: 0.05 m of I.D and 0.8 m in height. The sorbents that is collected at the cyclone of the carbonation reactor of continuous process were used in this study. The reactivity was studied at the various concentrations of water vapor, $N_2$ and $CO_2$ in the fluidizing gas at regeneration reaction. As a result, the reactivity increased as the regeneration temperature increased, the reactivity decreased as the concentration of water vapor increased. The absorption capacity showed the highest value in case of using $N_2$ 100% as regeneration gas. And decreased in order of $H_2O+N_2$, $CO_2$ 100% and $H_2O+CO_2$. The agglomeration characteristics were investigated according to the particle sizes and concentrations of water vapor at carbonation reaction. As a result, the particle with smaller size and higher concentration of water vapor showed the higher agglomeration characteristic.
