Protein digestibitlities of hydrolyzed cattle skin meals were examined at a constant pepsin-MC$\ell$ concentration (0.2%) for varying lengths of incubation time (from 4 to 20 hours) and at varying concentrations of pepsin-HC$\ell$ (from 0.0125 to 0.2%) for 16 hours at 45$^{\circ}C$. The results are summarized as follows: 1. Protein digestibilities of hydrolyzed cattle skin meals in 0.2% pepsin-HCl were 66.31%, 80.69%, 83.72%, 84.65% and 81.45% for 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 hours incubation, respectively. Protein digestibilities were maintained above 80% for 8-hour incubation and were increasing incubation time. 2. Protein digestibilities of hydrolyzed cattle skin meal incubated for 16 hours at 0.2%, 0.1%, 0.05%, 0.025% and 0.0125% pepsin-HC$\ell$ solution were 85.10%, 82.08%, 76.18%, 74.67% and 64.82%, respectively. Protein digestibilities were decreased with decreasing pepsin concentration.

The purpose of this study was to investigate and develop an eco-friendly wood adhesive based on vegetable oil (especially soybean oil), the renewable and sustainable natural resources, using ozonification technology for the chemical structure modification. The soybean oil (SBO) was reacted with $O_3$ at the rate of 7.13 g/h for different times, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes, and 120 minutes. The investigation of the modified chemical structure of the ozonized SBOs were conducted using FT-IR, $^1H$-NMR, MALDI-TOF MS, and GC/MS. As ozonification time increased, the peak of the unsaturated double bonds was disappeared and aldehyde or carboxyl peak appeared because ozonification broke the oil into small molecules. The plywoods were made at $110^{\circ}C$ with 30 seconds/mm hot-press time using the different ozonized SBO/pMDI adhesives and were tested for the dry, wet, cyclic boil test according to the Korea Industrial Standard F3101 Ordinary plywood. The bond strengths gradually increased with increasing ozonification time. The weight ratio 1:1 (ozonized SBO/pMDI), all strengths in 15, 30 and 60 minuets, exceeded constantly the dry, wet, cyclic boiling standard requirement. The range of ozonification time and weight ratio can fulfil1 the requirment of the wet test standard were 30~60 minutes and more than 0.5 pMDI. From the comprehensive view on the results of above experiments, it could be confirmed through experiments that ozonized SBO/pMDI has characteristics of effective reactivity and wet stability showed as an excellent candidate of wood adhesive applications.

This study has investigated the effect of isometric contractile force and muscle activity applying ice and hot according to the time from the biceps brachii muscle. In this study, 20 university students participants without musculoskeletal and neurological disorders. By applying a hot pack 5 min, 10 min, 20 min and 30 min respectively and ice pack for 5 min, 10 min, and 20 min respectively. After that measurement are skin temperature, contractile force and muscle activity. Skin temperature of the hot and cold 5 min applied that rapidly changing. Increasing the time it takes to apply a variance has been reduced(p<.001). Isometric contractile force was not statistically significant but highest when applying the hot pack 5 minutes and lowest when applying the hot pack 30 minutes(p<.001). Muscle activity and median frequency was highest when applying the hot pack 5 minutes. To analyze the above results, it was found that isometric contractile force and muscle activity changed according to the applying time. These result lead us to the conclusion that this study will be more evidence for changes in muscle contraction to apply hot pack and ice pack on clinic.

Empirical mode decomposition (EMD) is new time-frequency analysis method to decompose the signal adaptively and efficiently. The key idea of EMD is to decompose the signal into a set of functions defined by the signal itself, named Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs), which preserve the inherent properties of the original signal. Since the decomposition is based on the local time scale of the signal, it is not only applicable to nonlinear and non-stationary processes but also useful in biomedical signals like electrocardiogram (ECG). Traditional low-pass filter uses fourier transform to analysis signal in frequency domain, but EMD is filtered to maintain signal properties in time domain. This paper performed signal decomposition and filtering for noisy ECGs using EMD method. The proposed method is presented and compared with traditional low-pass filter by two performance indices. Our results show effectiveness for enhancement of the noisy ECG waveforms.

The donor pool for heart transplants is severely limited and there is still a legal problem of brain death. This study assessed the function of hearts "absolute anoxic" for ten minutes after asphyxia by perfusing the hearts on a Langendorfr apparatus for 45 minutes with Krebs-Henseleit buffier at 37 t at 80 cm H2O. Forty isolated rat hearts were divided into four groups. Ten control hearts (group 1) were perfused on the circuit without intervening ischemia. Ten hearts (group 2) were harvested, quickly flushed with 5cc of cold University of Wisconsin solution, and stored in the same cold solution for 4 hours. Ten hearts (group 3) were excised, quickly flushed with 5 u of cold Stanford cardioplegic solution and stored in cold saline solution for 4 hours. Ten asphyxiated hearts (group 4) had warm ischemia for ten minutes and were perfused with 5u of cold Stanford cardioplegia containing 7,500 units of urokinase to dissolve intravascular clots, and stored in cold saline solution for 1.5 hours. Time of spontaneous defibrillation (TSD) after perfusion was significantly longer in group 2, group 3 and group 4 than in group 1. TSD in group 3 and group 4 was significantly longer in comparison to that of group 2. Left ventricular developed pressure(LVDP) at 15 minutes was significantly lower in group 3 and group 4 than in group 1 and group 2. In group 4, LVDP at 30 minutes and 45 minutes was significantly lower compared with that in group 1 . In conclusion, asphyxiated rat hear;ts which had absolute anoxia for 10 minutes after as hyxia showed relatively satisfactory cardiac function. function.

In this paper, we propose the development of a high-sensitivity entry-level nuclide analysis module. The proposed measurement sensor module consists of an electronic driving circuit for nuclide analysis resolution, prototype production with nuclide analysis function, and GUI development applied to prototypes. The electronic part driving circuit for nuclide analysis resolution is divided into nuclide analysis resolution process by the electronic part driving circuit block diagram, MCU circuit design used for radiation measurement, and PC program design for Spectrum acquisition. Prototyping with nuclide analysis function is made by adding a 128×128 pixel OLED display, three buttons for operation, a Li-ion battery, and a USB-C type port for charging the battery. The GUI development department applied to the prototype develops the screen composition such as the current time, elapsed measurement time, total count, and nuclide Spectrum. To evaluate the performance of the proposed measurement sensor module, an expert witness test was conducted. As a result of the test, it was confirmed that the calculated result by applying the resolution formula to the Spectrum (FWHM@662keV) obtained using the Cs-137 standard source in the nuclide analysis device had a resolution of 17.77%. Therefore, it was confirmed that the nuclide analysis resolution method proposed in this paper produces improved performance while being cheaper than the existing commercial nuclide analysis module.

This study was performed to establish a simple and rapid method for measuring thrombin activity based on weight of fibrin clot formed. The new method was based on the weight measurement of fibrin clot after enzymatic reaction of thrombin with fibrinogen. The fibrin formation depended upon the activities of thrombin used, temperature, incubation time, and centrifugation time. The fibrin formation was increased proportionally up to 1.0 unit/ml of thrombin activity, 4.0mg/ml of fibrinogen concentration, and 5 min of incubation time at 37$^{\circ}C$. The fibrin clot formed was stable by centrifugation at 3,000$\times$g for 5min. This simple assay based on weight of fibrin after centrifugation would be useful for identifying natural food anticoagulants by inhibiting thrombin.

In this study, a BTX degrading microbial consortium was obtained from the activated sludges of a BTX releasing sewage water and city sewage water treatment plant. The MY microbial consortium was developed for benzene and toluene degradation, whereas the MA microbial consortium was developed for xylene isomers. The major microorganism of the MA consortium was identified as Rhodococcus ruber DSM 43338T, whereas that of the MY consortium was Rhodococcus sp. In terms of the degradation of a single component, the removal rate of benzene was fastest and decreased in order; toluene, o-xylene, p-xylene and m-xylene. For degradation of mixed BTX, most BTX were degraded within 108 hours and the degradation rate showed either stimulatory or inhibitory effects depending on the composition. MA and MY microbial consortium obtained in this study may be used effectively to remove BTX biologically.

The effects of roasting temperature and time on the antioxidant activities of Cassia tora L. were investigated. In comparison with raw seeds (7.15 mg TAE/g), roasted seeds contained a significantly higher total polyphenol content (p<0.05). However, seeds roasted at a higher temperature ($250^{\circ}C$) for 10 min showed a significantly lower total polyphenol content (2.30 mg TAE/g; p<0.05). The electron donating abilities of Cassia tora L. seeds increased with an increase in roasting time; further, seeds roasted for 5 min at lower temperatures showed higher electron donating abilities (80.61% at $175^{\circ}C$; 80.75% at $200^{\circ}C$) than did seeds roasted for 5 min at higher temperatures (76.26% at $225^{\circ}C$; 77.35% at $250^{\circ}C$). Seeds roasted at lower temperatures showed adequate L values, regardless of roasting time; by contrast, seeds roasted for 10 min at higher temperatures, showed markedly lower L values. Our results indicate that roasting temperature and time must be controlled to produce high-quality Cassia tora L. products.
