This study investigated the effect of addition of pumpkin on the physicochemical properties of rice sponge cakes. Water retention capacity(WRC) was lowest in control preparations to which no pumpkin flour was added. WRC increased as more pumpkin flour was added and rice flour with 25% of added pumpkin flour showed a WRC of 89.0%. Similar to WRC, alkaline water retention capacity(AWRC) also increased as more pumpkin flour was added and ranged from 69.7% to 80.7%. As the amount of pumpkin flour added increased, the pH increased. Similar to the sedimentation value, the Pelshenke value also increased as the amount of the added pumpkin flour increased. The gelatinization temperature did not vary significantly between the samples(p<0.05). The midline peak height, which is the height of the peak point from the baseline, showed the same tendency with that of the midline peak time, but was not significantly different between samples(p<0.05). Volume was decreased as the amount of the added pumpkin flour increased. The weight of the rice sponge cakes showed significant difference increasing with the increasing added pumpkin flour(p<0.05). There was significant difference as the specific loaf volume decreased with the increasing pumpkin flour(p<0.05).

The interest in use of new field of energy and unused existing potential energy has been raised in number of advanced countries including South Korea. As a respond of the interest and the following reactions, a new technology which helps to reduce bad environmental factors and decrease national energy consumption rate in the way of extract cold-heat energy in dam water. This research focuses on a method that enables taking the water flows in desirable temperature range whilst keeping water temperature boundaries of bottom level water. The analysis was made in simulating on CFD. In order to keep the temperature boundary level, a deep well pump was set in piping in the simulation. As the significant result, the most alteration in temperature was found when the smallest size of pipe was plumbed. However, when the flow has small value of velocity, no matter how big the piping size was, the temperature variation was negligible. Therefore, possible hypothesis was made as bigger piping as fast flow will have better function in the way to keep the temperature boundary level.

We examined whether silibinin and resveratrol affect airway mucin production, degradation of $I{\kappa}B$ and translocation of NF-${\kappa}B$ p65 induced by TNF-${\alpha}$ in NCI-H292 cells. Cells were pretreated with each agent for 30 min and then stimulated with TNF-${\alpha}$ for 24 h or the indicated periods. The two compounds suppressed TNF-${\alpha}$-induced airway mucin production, degradation of $I{\kappa}B$ and translocation of NF-${\kappa}B$ p65. This result suggests that silibinin and resveratrol can regulate the production of mucin induced by TNF-${\alpha}$ through the inactivation of NF-${\kappa}B$ pathway in airway epithelial cells.

Two air vents situated on a heat transport pipe in district heating system were exposed to the same environment for 10 years. However, one air vent was more corroded than the other. It also had a hole on the top of the front-end pipe. Comparative analysis was performed for these air vents to identify the cause of corrosion and establish countermeasures. Through experimental observation of the damaged part and analyses of powders sampled from air vents, it was found that corrosion was initiated at the top of the front-end pipe. It then spread to the bottom. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy results showed that potassium and chlorine were measured from the corroded product in the damaged air vent derived from rainwater and insulation, respectively. The temperature of the damaged air vent was maintained at 75 ~ 120 ℃ by heating water. Rainwater-soaked insulation around the front-end pipe had been hydrolyzed. Therefore, the damaged air vent was exposed to an environment in which corrosion under insulation could be facilitated. In addition, ion chromatography and inductively coupled plasma measurements indicated that the matrix of the damaged front-end pipe contained a higher manganese content which might have promoted corrosion under insulation.

The air vent connected to a heat supply pipeline in the district heating system has been used to eliminate the existing air in the pipe, which has a detrimental effect on corrosion durability and heat efficiency. Recently, the air vent installed under a manhole for 22 years was corroded and several pinholes were detected in the front-end of the air vent. To identify the cause of the failure, thickness reduction, corrosion products, and water quality were examined. The corrosion damage was significant at the outside of the front-end of the air vent where the insulator was covered. While a thin oxide layer was formed in the interior of the tube, the coarse and porous corrosion products consisting of magnetite and hematite were found externally. Water flowing into the thermal insulator was absorbed by the insulator following hydrolysis. The hydrolyzed insulator ejected the corrosion factors such as Cl^-, SO₄^2-, and NH₄⁺. The findings suggest that the corrosion under insulation due to rain water is the main cause of the underlying failure in the air vent.

다채널 고감도 자기 센서에 의해 획득되는 심자도 신호는 심전도 신호에 비하여 심장 질환의 진단에 여러 장점을 가지고 있지만 외부 자기 잡음에 의해 쉽게 영향을 받는다는 단점이 있다 외부 자기 잡음은 획득된 신호의 시간적 추이를 분석하여 제거할 수도 있지만, 다채널 시스템에서는 다채널 신호 사이의 공간적 상관 관계에 근거하여 제거하는 방법이 보다 효과 적이다. 된 연구에서는 이러한 방법의 하나로 PCA(Prinicipal component analysis)를 이용하여 구성한 공간 필터로 심자도 신호에서 외부 자기 잡음 성분을 효과적으로 분리해 내는 방법을 제안하였다. 제안한 방법을 61채널 심자도 시스템을 이용해 얻은 정상인 심자도 신호에 적용했을 때 자기 잡음 제거가 효율적으로 이루어짐을 실험적으로 보였다.

Breast cancer is the most frequently appearing cancer in women, these days. To reduce mortality of breast cancer, periodic check-up is strongly recommended. X-ray mammography is one of powerful diagnostic imaging systems to detect 50~100 um micro-calcification which is the early sign of breast cancer. Although x-ray mammography has very high spatial resolution, it is not easy yet to distinguish cancerous tissue from normal tissues in mammograms and new tissue characterizing methods are required. Recently ultrasound elastography technique has been developed, which uses the phenomenon that cancerous tissue is harder than normal tissues. However its spatial resolution is not enough to detect breast cancer. In order to develop a new elastography system with high resolution we are developing x-ray elasticity imaging technique. It uses the small differences of tissue positions with and without external breast compression and requires an algorithm to detect tissue displacement. In this paper, computer simulation is done for preliminary study of x-ray elasticity imaging. First, 3D x-ray breast phantom for modeling woman's breast is created and its elastic model for FEM (finite element method) is generated. After then, FEM experiment is performed under the compression of the breast phantom. Using the obtained displacement data, 3D x-ray phantom is deformed and the final mammogram under the compression is generated. The simulation result shows the feasibility of x-ray elasticity imaging. We think that this preliminary study is helpful for developing and verifying a new algorithm of x-ray elasticity imaging.

The use of continuous welded rail is increasing because of its many advantages, including vibration reduction, enhanced driving stability, and maintenance cost savings. In this work, two different types of continuous welded rails were examined to determine the influence of repeated wheel-rail contact on the crystal structure, microstructure and mechanical properties of the rails. The crystal structure was determined by x-ray diffraction, and the microstructure was examined using optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Tensile and microhardness tests were conducted to examine the mechanical behaviors of prepared specimens taken from different positions in the cross section of both newly manufactured rail and worn rail. Analysis revealed that both the new and worn rail had a mixed microstructure consisting of ferrite and pearlite. The specimens from the top position of each rail exhibited decreased lamella spacing of the pearlite and increased yield strength, ultimate tensile strength and hardness, as compared with those from other positions of the rail. It is thought that the enhanced mechanical property on the top position of the worn rail might be explained by a mixed effect resulting from a directional microstructure, the decreased lamella spacing of pearlite, and work hardening by the repeated wheel-rail contact stress.
