Effect of electron beam irradiation (1 and 2 kGy) on apricot was determined in order to develop preservation techniques to enhance shelf-life during 2 weeks at room temperature. Aerobic bacteria and molds/yeasts in apricot were reduced significantly with the increase of irradiation dose. Hardness of apricots decreased during storage by irradiation. Hunter's color value results showed that lightness and redness of irradiated samples were low compared with control samples. Also, sensory test resulting overall acceptability was not significantly different by 1 kGy irradiation during the storage days. Reducing sugar contents was increased gradually, and value of irradiated samples was high compared with non-irradiated sample. Organic acid contents of 2 kGy irradiated samples was not significantly changed during storage. In pH, total sugar, hydrogen donating activity and vitamin C contents, there were no significant differences between treatments. The electron beam treatment on apricots at 1 and 2 kGy did not affect pH, total sugar, hydrogen donating activity and vitamin C contents but improved microbial safety.

Effects of various levels and molecular weights (MWs) of chitooligosaccharides and chitosan with pork salt-soluble protein (SSP) on pH, moisture (%), viscosity, and hardness of protein-chitosan mixtures were determined in a model study. Mixtures of 0.15, 0.3, and 0.45% chitosan at various MWs (Low, 1.5 kDa; Medium, 30-50 kDa; High, 200 kDa) were dissolved in 3% SSP solution for measurement of pH and viscosity at $20^{\circ}C$. pH value increased with addition of 0.45% low MW of chitooligosacchearides into SSP (p<0.05), whereas decreased with addition of 0.45% medium MW and 0.3% or higher level of high MW chitosan. Viscosity increased with addition of more than 0.3% either medium or high MW chitosan (p<0.05), as compared to mixture with low MW chitolligosaccharide and control (p<0.05). No differences in gel pH, moisture, and hardness values were observed among treatments (p>0.05). Further study will be performed to evaluate rheological properties actual meat products with various levels and MWs of chitosan.

Kiwifruits conventionally grown (CG), grown with low levels of chemicals (LCG), and organically grown (OG), were kept in cold storage for 24 weeks. Firmness gradually decreased with increasing storage time, regardless of cultivation mode, and the rate of softening was slightly higher in OG than in CG or LCG fruit. Neither dry matter level nor sensory values differed with varying types of cultivation. Soluble solid content increased with storage time, whereas acidity decreased in all fruit. Reducing sugar content increased notably until 12 weeks of storage, whereas starch content significantly decreased. The rate of OG fruit decay abruptly increased mid-storage and reached 35% 24 weeks after storage. Most fruit decayed due to infection with Botritis cinerea, regardless of cultivation type. Respiration and ethylene content peaked at mid-storage and were both slightly higher in OG fruit than in CG or LCG fruit. The shelf life of kiwifruit was reduced in OG fruit by increased fruit decay and softening during storage.

Objectives: This study was carried out with 31, 519(16,653 boys, 14,857 girls) of elementary school students to investigate the prevalence of obesity at a district in Gwangju City. It can be applied to develope an educational program of the obesity control as basic data in this local area Methods: The data collected from May, 2004 to July, 2004 were analyzed by SAS PC+ 8.0 program. Children were selected depending on criteria from obesity index (%) by using physical index (height, body weight), and then subjects were classified into one of three groups according to the degree of obesity: mild(20~29.9%), moderate(30~49.9%), and severe($?50%{\cdot}$) obesity. Results: It showed that male elementary school students were higher and heavier than female elementary school students(p< .001) in every grade except the 4th grade(height) and the 6th grade ( body weight). The obesity rates of male students(11.6%) showed higher(p< .001) than those of female students(8.8%). Specially the 4th grade elementary school boys were higher than any other groups in obesity(13.7%). As a whole, the prevalence of obestiy showed mild(5.9%), moderate(3.8%), and severe(0.6%). Male students showed higher rate of obesity than those of female students. The obesity of male students showed higher rate than that of female students except 2-3rd grade elementary school students(p< .001). The obesity of 4~6th grade elementary school students showed higher rate than those of 1~3rd grade students(p< .001). Conclusions: The obesity rates of male students are higher than that of female students, and the obesity rates of 4~6th grade students are higher than those of 1-3rd grade students in the elementary school. Additionally, these results suggest that the program may be needed to prevent obesity of children.

This study investigated the effect of agrichemicals (A) and low-agrichemicals (LA) during cultivation on the quality characteristics of minimally processed lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) during storage at $4{\pm}1^{\circ}C$. After 10 days of storage, the sugar content analysis showed that LA-treated lettuce ($4.57^{\circ}Brix$) was higher than A-treated lettuce ($3.57^{\circ}Brix$). The major minerals were K, P and Na, and mineral contents were high in A-treated lettuce during 0, 5 and 10 days. However, the sample with LA treatment had higher chlorophyll and vitamin C contents compared with A-treated lettuce. The degree of color was more stable in samples kept at LA treatment than those kept at A treatment. The polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity of the LA-treated lettuce was 475.90 unit/g, while the A-treated sample had almost 1.5-fold higher activity. The detection of 48 residual pesticides in samples were not detected on storage 0 day.

Cu를 함유한 2종의 저합금 고장력강(HSLA-A, HSLA-B)\ulcorner 기계적 성질에 미치는 시효처리의 영향을 조사하였다. 탄소량이 적음에도 불구하고 Cu첨가로 석출물을 생성시킴으로서 2합금 모두 $650^{\circ}C$에서 시효한 경우 양호한 강도(HSLA-A:Y.S 703Mpa, E.L 22.6% HSLA-B:Y.S 810 Mpa, E.L 23.8%)와 인성(HSLA-A:271.4J, HSLA-B:197.5J at -5$0^{\circ}C$)의 조합을 나타내었다. 50$0^{\circ}C$에서 시효할 때 가장 높은 항복 강도를 나타내나 인성은 아주 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 50$0^{\circ}C$이상 시효 온도가 증가하면 강도는 감소하고 인성은 증가하였다. HSLA-B강의 강도가 HSLA-A 강보다 높은데, \ulcorner칭 상태에서의 강도 차이는 경화능을 증가시키는 원소인 Ni, Mn, Mo, Cu의 첨가량 차이에 의한 기지 조직의 차이에 의한 것이며, 시효한 상태에서의 강도 차이는 기지 조직과 석출 강화에 기여하는 Cu량의 차이에 의한 것으로 판단된다. 시효 경화 곡선에서 $700^{\circ}C$에서의 경도 증가는 오스테나이트-페라이트 2상 영역으로부터 냉각시 생성된 “M-A constituents”에 의한 것이다. HSLA-A강과 HSLA-B강의 충격 천이 온도는 각각 -1$25^{\circ}C$와 -145$^{\circ}C$이었다.

The hardness and strength test was performed to make the manufacturing process of SA213 P92 boiler pipe steel. And the microstructure change was studied to find out the cause of room temperature property of P92 steel, ie, low hardness and strength property. The room temperature property of P92 steel depends on the improper normalizing and cooling rate. Especially, Ferrite was formed and the steel had low hardness when the temperature was decreased slowly under the cooling rate $1^{\circ}C$/min after normalizing at the temperature around $A_{c1}$ to $A_{c3}$. The critical heat treatment temperature and cooling rate was over $900^{\circ}C$ and over $10^{\circ}C$/min to satisfy the minimum yield and tensile stress which was laid down by ASME Code.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the preventive effect of commercially available anticariogenic products, specifically, the tooth cream containing Casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate(CPP-ACP), fluoride varnish and low-level fluoride mouthrinse on enamel erosion induced by carbonated beverage in a short period of time. Enamel specimens were treated as follows and were then kept in artificial saliva for 24 hours followed by further processing by alternately soaking them in Cola beverage and in distilled water for 1 minute each five times. Group 1: control group (no treatment) Group 2: tooth cream with CPP-ACP Group 3: fluoride varnish (1,000 ppm F) Group 4: low-level fluoride mouthrinse (227 ppm F) Group 5: fluoride varnish + tooth cream with CPP-ACP Group 6: low-level fluoride mouthrinse + tooth cream with CPP-ACP Microhardness and erosion depth were measured and the mineral loss of each specimen was evaluated by measuring the volumetric fluorescence change(${\Delta}Q$) against the stable fluorescent grid using quantitative light-induced fluorescence(QLF). The experiment lasted for 6 days repeated each day. The results were as follows: 1. The microhardness was increased as follows: Group $1{\leq}2{\leq}4$<6<$3{\fallingdotseq}5$. 2. The mean erosion depth was increased as follows: Group $5{\fallingdotseq}3$<6<$4{\fallingdotseq}2{\fallingdotseq}1$. 3. The ${\Delta}Q$ was increased as follows: Group $1{\fallingdotseq}2{\leq}4{\leq}6{\leq}3{\fallingdotseq}5$. The decrement of ${\Delta}Q$ was similar between group 1 and 2, group 4 and 6 and group 3 and 5. 4. The ${\Delta}Q$ showed positive correlation with microhardness (r=0.96, p<0.05), while it was negatively correlated to erosion depth (r=-0.96, p<0.05).

The effects of chlorine dioxide gas ($ClO_2$) treatments between high-concentration-short-time and low-concentration-long-time on maintaining the quality of cherry tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv 'unicorn') were investigated. Tomatoes were treated with 5 ppm for 10 min and 10 ppm for 3 min as high-concentration-short-time $ClO_2$ gas treatment conditions and 1 ppm for once a day interval in terms of low-concentration-long-time $ClO_2$ gas treatment condition, respectively. After $ClO_2$ gas treatments, tomatoes were storage at 5 and $23^{\circ}C$ for 7 days. Weight loss, changes in tomato color, firmness, soluble solids content, pH, growth of total microorganism, and decay rate were evaluated. On day 7, tomatoes treated with chlorine dioxide gas showed low values of respiratory rate, total microbial growth, and decay rate compared to those of tomato without chlorine dioxide gas treatment. Additionally, tomatoes treated the chlorine dioxide were kept the values of firmness and soluble solids content during storage. However, chlorine dioxide gas treatment on tomatoes had no direct effect on weight loss, pH, and color. Results showed that both $ClO_2$ concentration and treatment time played the important roles for keeping the quality of tomatoes during storage. Tomatoes with chlorine dioxide gas treatment of low-concentration-long-time had more effective values of firmness, the total microbial growth, and decay rate than those with two chlorine dioxide gas treatments of high-concentration-short-time. Results suggest the potential use of chlorine dioxide gas treatment of low-concentration-long-time as an highly effective method for keeping the freshness of cherry tomato.

산업이 고도화, 다원화, 세계화되고 있는 현대사회는 다기능성, 고물성, 극한 내구성을 가지며 환경 친화적이면서 에너지 효율을 극대화시킬 수 있는 다기능 소재의 개발을 요구하고 있다. 이러한 시점에서 다양한 물성을 동시에 발현이 가능한 코팅 소재는 향후 미래에 중요한 원천 소재로서 주목되고 있다. 특히, 환경에 의해 쉽게 물성 및 구조의 변화가 쉬운 종래의 코팅소재와는 달리, 다양한 외부환경에서도 미세 구조 및 물성을 안정적으로 유지할 수 있는 신개념의 코팅 소재의 개발이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 이를 위해서는 코팅소재의 다 성분화가 필수적이다. 최근의 코팅 기술은 2가지 이상의 물성, 특히 서로 상반되는 물성을 동시에 구현할 수 있는 소재의 개발을 요구하고 있다. 이러한 물성의 구현을 위하여 더 많은 성분으로 구성되며 더욱 복잡한 조직으로 구성된 코팅층에 대한 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서 목표로 하는 신 개념의 원천소재기술은 4성분계 이상의 원료 물질을 단일 타겟으로 제조하여, 단순한 코팅공정으로서 단일 코팅층 내에 다양한 성분상이 10 nm 미만 크기의 나노 결정립/나노 비정질로 구성된 나노 복합 구조로 형성되도록 하는 기술을 개발하고자 하는 것이다. 이는 복합기능 3 이상의 다기능성 부여는 물론, 그림 1에 명시되어 있는 극한 기능성(광대역 윤활성, 전자 이동 제어에 의한 온도 저항 계수 및 전기 저항 조절, 고온 열적 안정성, 내산화성, 고열전도율, 초저마찰/내구성/초고경도성 등)이 구현되도록 하는 소재 개발과 원하는 물성을 구현할 수 있는 나노 복합 코팅층의 형성 공정으로 구성된다. 다성분계 모물질의 개발이 중요한 이유는 다수의 성분 원소를 합금 상태로 형성시킴으로서, 단일 소스에 의해 다양한 원소를 동시에 스퍼터링 및 증착이 가능하도록 할 수 있다는 장점을 가지기 때문이다. 특히, 타겟의 미세구조를 나노구조화 하는것을 통해, 스퍼터링 yield의 차이가 큰 원소일지라도 균일하게 증착시킬 수 있는 방법을 제시하고자한다. 이러한 연구는 다수의 성분 타겟을 사용함으로서 장비의 복잡성, 코팅의 재현성, 대형화 등의 문제점을 본질적으로 갖고 있는 기존 PVD 공정의 문제점을 해결하기 위한 최적의 대안이라할 수 있다. 본 발표에서는 3가지 이상의 다기능성 구현을 위한 가장 중요한 원천기술이라 할 수 있는 다성분계 타겟 모물질 제조 기술과 제조된 모물질을 이용하여 제조된 저마찰 코팅층과 그 물성에 대해 소개하고자 한다.
