Effects of pH (1.8-10.2) and time (56 sec-15 min 4 sec) at high hydrostatic pressure (500 MPa) on the reduction of volatile compounds in garlic were studied. Volatile components of garlic were obtained from the headspace, analyzed, and identified by gas chromatography (GC)-mass spectrometry and an electronic nose. Nineteen sulfur compounds were identified as major compounds in garlic, and furan, aldehydes, alcohols, and ketones were also detected. Off-flavor compounds were more effectively reduced under strong acidic conditions. As the residence time at 500 MPa increased from 56 sec to 15 min 4 sec, the total amount of volatile compounds decreased significantly. The total amount of sulfur compounds decreased about 70% compared to those of raw garlic when the garlic was soaked in buffer (pH 6.0) and treated at 500 MPa for 15 min 4 sec. A principal component analysis showed that the off-flavors of garlic were reduced by the operating time of high hydrostatic pressure as well as pH treatment. The correlation coefficient of the results between GC and the electronic nose analysis was 0.9620. Therefore, pH and high hydrostatic pressure treatment could be used as an efficient method for reducing of garlic off-flavor.

다이아몬드 상 탄소(diamond-like carbon, DLC)는 상당량의 $sp^3$ 결합을 가지는 비정질 탄소(a-C) 또는 수소화 비정질 탄소(a-C:H)로 이루어진 준안정 형태의 탄소이다. DLC는 전기 저항과 굴절률이 높고 화학적으로 다른 물질과 반응하지 않으며, 마찰계수가 낮고 경도가 높아 자기 디스크, 광학 소자 등의 다양한 분야에서 적용되고 있다[1,2]. 또한 다이아몬드에 비해 상온에서 성장이 가능할 정도로 합성온도가 낮아 적용 기판의 제한이 거의 없고, 증착 방법과 조건에 따라 탄소 결합의 다양성과 비정질성이 변화하기 때문에 넓은 범위의 특성을 얻을 수 있는 장점이 있다. 지금까지 DLC 박막의 광학적 특성, 특히 굴절률, 광학적인 에너지 밴드 갭, 자외선과 적외선 투과성에 대해서는 많은 연구가 진행되었으나 가시광선의 투과성에 대한 연구는 제한적이며[4], 가시광선 투과도 개선에 대한 연구는 전무하다. 본 연구에서는 ITO 기판 위에 DLC를 합성하고 기계적 특성과 가시광선 영역 투과도를 조사하였다. RF-PECVD(radio frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition) 방법에 의해서 $C_2H_2+Ar$ 혼합 가스 비율과 $C_2H_2+N_2$ 혼합 가스 비율을 변화시켜 ITO 기판 위에 DLC 박막을 합성하였다. 공정 압력과 rf-power, 증착시간, 기판온도는 0.2 torr, 40 W, 5 분, $50^{\circ}C$로 고정하고, 공정 가스는 $C_2H_2+Ar$과 $C_2H_2+N_2$가 200 sccm이 되도록 비율을 변화하였다. $C_2H_2:Ar$과 $C_2H_2:N_2$의 비율은 180 : 20, 160 : 40, 140 : 60, 120 : 80, 100 : 100이 되도록 가스의 유량을 조절하였다. 투과도는 가시광선(380 ~ 780 nm) 범위에서 측정하였고 두께와 표면조도는 AFM으로 측정하였다. 투과도는 $C_2H_2+Ar$의 Ar 가스 비율이 증가할수록 증가해 140 : 60일 때 최댓값을 나타낸 후 다시 감소하였다. $C_2H_2+N_2$ 투과도는 $N_2$ 가스 비율이 증가할수록 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 표면 거칠기는 $C_2H_2+Ar$ 혼합 가스를 사용한 경우의 Ar의 가스 비율이 증가할수록 증가하였다. 그러나 $C_2H_2+N_2$ 혼합 가스를 사용한 경우에는 $N_2$ 가스의 혼합 비율이 증가할수록 감소하였다.

Determination of the order of latent fingerprints deposition on the surface of thermal paper, often found in crime scenes, is related to the study of time course and aging of fingerprints and can provide additional information in criminal investigations. A preliminary study was performed to determine the deposition order of fingerprints left with two different conditions of deposition pressure and time (in seconds) after 1 day intervals for 7 days on thermal paper (receipt and fax thermal paper) using an iodine fuming method. The resultant images of the visualized fingerprints were analyzed with densitometric image analysis to measure the changes in the areas of the ridges, which can be correlated to the deposition order. No significant variation was found with the different types of thermal paper. The average areas of the friction ridges increased gradually or were similar to the values from day 1 for 3 days, and then a continual decrease was shown from day 4 through day 7. The area values from day 6 and day 7 were less than half of those from day 1. Furthermore, the test with overlapped fingerprints showed the possibility of differentiation between fingerprints that are 1-3 and 6-7 days old based on the clarity visible to the naked eye. Additional experiments with the deposition conditions can prove that the current method is valuable for the determining the order of fingerprint deposition on thermal paper.

In this work, solid-state inclusion complex powders of itraconazole and $2-hydroxypropyl-{\beta}-cyclodextrin(HP-{\beta}-CD)$ were produced by a supercritical anti-solvent (SAS) process. In order to evaluate the degree of complexation, the thermal behavior of the microparticulate complexes was investigated using differential scanning calorimetry. The experimental results obtained for the solubility and dissolution rate of the microparticulate inclusion complexes in a buffer solution of pH 1.2 showed that the complexation of itraconazole with $HP-{\beta}-CD$ results in a significant increase in the solubility and dissolution rate of itraconazole. The particle size of the SAS-produced inclusion complexes was dramatically reduced ($<0.1-0.5{\mu}m$) compared with untreated itraconazole ($30-50{\mu}m$) and $HP-{\beta}-CD$ ($50-100{\mu}m$). The solubility of itraconazole was increased with the increase of pressure at a constant temperature to ca. $758.6{\mu}g/mL$ in an aqueous medium of pH 1.2. The dissolution rate of itraconazole was observed to be significantly improved and about 90% of itraconazole was found to be dissolved within 5-10 min.

Adsorption dynamics of ethane/ethylene mixture gas and desorption dynamics during the displacement desorption with propane as a desorbent in the column filled with faujasite adsorbent were investigated experimentally and theoretically. The simulation that adopted heat and mass balance and an ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST) for the multicomponent adsorption equilibrium well predicted the experimental breakthrough curves of the adsorption and desorption. At the adsorption breakthrough experiments, roll-ups of ethane increased as the adsorption pressure increased and the adsorption temperature decreased. During the displacement desorption with propane in the column saturated with ethane/ethylene mixture gas, almost 100% of ethylene was obtained for a certain time interval. The adsorption strength of the desorbent greatly affected the adsorption and re-adsorption dynamics of ethylene. The re-adsorption capacity for ethylene has been greatly reduced when iso-propane, which is stronger desorbent than propane, was used as desorbent. It was found from the simulation that the performance of the displacement desorption process would be superior when the ratio of ${(q_s{\times}b)}_{C_2H_4}/{(q_s{\times}b)}_{C_3H_s}$ was 0.83, that is, the adsorption strengths of ethylene and the desorbent were similar.

In order to develope the porous alumina ceramics with high strength, the pore characteristics and compressive strength were investigated in terms of relation to the conditions of spark-plasma sintering and the contents of graphite as a pore precursor. Porous alumina bodies were successfully prepared by spark-plasma sintering and burning out graphite in air. High porous bodies were fabricated by sintering at 1000${\circ}C$ for 3 min under a pressure of 30 MPa, heating rate of 80${\circ}C$/min and on-off pulse type of 12:2. For example, alumina bodies prepared by the addition of 10∼30 vol% graphite showed high porosity of 50∼57%. Also, the open porosity increased with graphite content. The relationship between pore characteristics and graphite contents could be explained by percolation model depending on cluster number and size. Porous alumina bodies prepared by the addition of 10∼30 vol% graphite showed the high compressive strength of 55∼200 MPa. This great improvement in strength was considered to be mainly due to the spark-plasma discharges and the self-heating action between particles.

It is a fact that the straightening of track alignment is one of the undoubted ways to improve the train speed on conventional lines, while that requires huge investment resources. Therefore, the operation of a tilting train as well as the minimum improvement of track is suggested as an effective and economical alternative way for the speed-up of conventional lines. Since a driving mechanism of tilting train is different from those of existing trains, in order to make sure its operation safety and stability on conventional line, the performance of track and roadbed must be preferentially evaluated on the conventional line. Furthermore, it is necessary to estimate the tilting-train-induced roadbed response in detail since the roadbed settlement can lead to the track deformation and even derailment. In this research, the patterns of wheel load and lateral force were monitored and analyzed through the field tests, and the derailment coefficient and degree of wheel off-loading were calculated in order to evaluate the tilting train running safety depending on the running speeds (120km~180km) on the conventional line. Moreover, roadbed pressure, settlement and acceleration were also observed as tilting-train-induced roadbed responses in order to estimate the roadbed stability depending on the running speeds. Consequently, the measured derailment coefficient and degree of wheel off-loading were satisfied with their own required limits, and all of the roadbed responses were less than those of existing high-speed train (KTX) over an entire running speed range considered in this study. As a result of this study, the tilting train which will be operated in combination with existing trains is expected to give no adverse impact on the conventional line even with its improved running speed.

In the treatment of the wastewater containing metals($Cu^{2+}$, $Zn^{2+}$, $Ni^{2+}$, $Cr^{3+}$) by using batch precipitation and flocculation followed by membrane filtration, permeate flux and removal efficiency were investigated according to by the effect of pH and coagulants, and the type of membranes used and pore size. It was found that it is most effective to use $0.45{\mu}m$-polysulfone membrane and coagulant(PAC) at the conditions of the pH of 10.0~10.5 for the case of copper containing wastewater, $0.1{\mu}m$-PVDF membrane and coagulant(PAC) at the conditions of the pH of 10.0~10.5 for the case of zinc containing wastewater, $0.1{\mu}m$-PVDF membrane and coagulant at the conditions of the pH of 11.0~11.5 for the case of nickel containing wastewater, $0.2{\mu}m$ membrane and coagulant at the conditions of the pH of 8.0~8.5 for the case of chromic containing wastewater, and $0.2{\mu}m{\sim}0.45{\mu}m$ membrane and coagulant at the conditions of the pH of 11.0~11.5 for the case mixture wastewater. The permeate flux could higher as to be used coagulants except for the case of copper containing wastewater.

The effects of Angelica gigas nakai powder(AP) addition on bread dough were investigated by preparing dough with 0-10%(w/v) powder. Dough raising power, gluten levels, rapid visco properties, and falling number, were investigated. The rheological properties of dough as measured by mixography, farinography, alveography, color assessment, and with scanning electron microscopy, were examined. Increase in AP concentration resulted in a linear decrease in gluten content. Dough raising power and extensibility were decreased by water absorption rate, and resistance increased. Dough stability and rose when AP was present at 1-2%(w/v). Water absorption, dough stability, and dough valorimeter values also rose when AP was present at 1-2%(w/v), but AP induced weakness in the dough, as revealed through farinography, and also resulted in a lowering of initial pasting temperature and the temperature at peak viscosity. A decrease in viscosity at the peak point, and(as revealed by RVA), a decrease in extensibility, an increased resistance to extension, and a rise in the energy required for extension, were also seen when AP powder was added, as was an increase in the R/E ratio. Overall, the addition of AP to dough to levels of 1% or 2%(both w/v) is thought to be useful in the preparation of a functional white pan bread, and results in quality improvements.

Behavior of permeate flux decline was examined through the hollow fiber membrane in ultrafiltration system for Si colloidal solution. Flux decline with time was due to the growth of Si cake deposited on the membrane surface and the pore blocking by Si particles for the hollow fiber membrane. At the pseudo steady state of operation, the permeate flux of dead-end flow was 60 % to that of the cross flow. The ratio of permeate flux to the pure water flux, $J/J_w$, decreased with increasing the trans-membrane pressure, from 64.2 % for $0.5kg_f/cm^2$ to 45.7 % for $2.0kg_f/cm^2$. When the feed flow rate was 3 L/min, the pore blocking model was dominant at the initial period of filtration and was followed by the cake filtration model. And with increasing the feed flow rate from 1 L/min to 3 L/min, $R_c$ was $1.79{\times}10^{12}{\sim}2.34{\times}10^{12}m^{-1}$ which was the about 40 % decreased value to that of the 1 L/min while $R_p$ was not changed and was $1.71{\times}10^{12}m^{-1}$ approximately.
