In this study, fundamental properties such as fresh and hardened performance of concrete mix(specification : 25-24-18) added fluorine-silicate hybrid based crack reducing agent(FS) were measured. Addition of FS ranged from 0.5% to 2.0% at intervals 0.5% based on cement weight. Adequate dosage(0.5%) of FS derived from basic properties measurements applied and compared resistance for shrinkage crack. The permeability of concrete in the absence(24-S-0.0) and presence(24-S-0.5) of evaluated at a mock-up sized concrete. Concrete added FS improved resistance for shrinkage crack and consequently crack number, length and area decreased to $50{\sim}74.4%$ compared non-added. As well, by the addition of FS, the resistance for permeability and penetration depth to concrete surface region increased 67% and 40%, respectively. Therefore it was confirmed that shrinkage crack resistance and permeability of concrete could be improved by the addition of FS.

The quality properties of peeled ginger (PG) were investigated during CA storage at different $CO_2$ concentrations. $O_2$ concentration was kept constant at 5% while $CO_2$ of 6%, 14%, 22% and 30% were used. It was found that the weight loss rate tended to decrease with an increase of $CO_2$. In the case of fixed $10^{\circ}C$ storage, the L-value and a-value of the exterior color in treatment increased more than that of control with respect to time, while the b-value of the exterior color and the cutting plane color showed no significant difference. In the exterior color, the results of PG-$25^{\circ}C$ showed similar with PG-$10^{\circ}C$ except b-value of the exterior color which showed not a little change. The cutting plane color did not showed significantly difference in the PG samples between $25^{\circ}C$ and $10^{\circ}C$. Hardness of the PG during storage was found to decrease most severely at 6% of $CO_2$ concentration regardless of storage temperature. The growth of microorganisms during storage of the PG tended to be restrained as $CO_2$ concentration increased. However, microorganisms, when maintained at $25^{\circ}C$ storage, multiplied rapidly to $10^8$ CFU/g within 4 days regardless of concentration.

In order to inhibit sprouting of garlics during the storage period and the extend their storage life, garlics were irradiated by gamma-rays $(Co^{60})$ and kept at room temperature. The effects of gammaradiation on sprouting inhibition, chemical contents during storage, and spoilage molds were investigated and the results are as follows. 1. Garlics obtained from Muan showed the shorter dormancy period and sprouted earlier than those from Dangjin. 2. Regarding the radioresistance, some differences were found between garlics from Muan and Dangjin. 3. The sprout of garlics from both areas was completely inhibited at 10 Krad and remarkable effect on sprouting was observed even with 5 Krad in case of garlics from Dangjin. 4. The rates of loss in moisture and weight were lower in irradiated lots than control. 5. Change of sugar content was not observed with ${\gamma}-irradiation$ under 300 Krad. 6. Spores of Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus alliaceus were little germinated at a level of 300 Krad.

A new nutritional disease has occurred among the hatchery-reared Korean bullhead fingerlings (Pseudobagrus fulvidraco) in the Chonbuk Province in September 1997. Diseased fish were all dead within 3-7 days, showing sluggish behavior, head up and tail down swimming. Most characteristic clinical signs were anaemia, clubbed and fused gill, skin desquamation. haemorrhage around the mouth and at the base of pectoral fins. Any causative bacteria and parasites were not isolated from the lesions and internal organs of the diseased fish. The hepatosomatic index, red blood cell count, hematocrit, hemoglobin and erythrocytes size of peripheral blood in the diseased fish were remarkably decreased compared with those of normal fish. In the histopathological observations, epithelial hyperplasia of the gill filaments initiated at the base of the gill was pronounced. This symptom was the characteristic appearence of all the diseased fish. A 0.6% saline bath and feeding a pantothenic acid-supplemented diet were conducted to decrease the mortality. Ten days after 0.6% saline bath or 25 days after feeding a pantothenic acid supplemented diet resulted in decreasing in the mortality. Microscopic appereance of the gill from the recovered fish was similar to that of the gill from healthy fish. These results indicate that the disease was caused by deficency of pantothenic acid in their diet and that 0.6% saline bath or supplementation of pantothenic acid in the diet was an effective way to decrease the mortality.

Desalination is the main focus of the stabilization of iron artifacts. However, drawbacks such as re-corrosion are noted due to the uncertainty in the elimination of the corrosive factors and artifacts. Several studies have been carried out on the effects of corrosion inhibitors to overcome these shortcomings. In this study, the effects of type 3 water treatment on corrosion inhibitors were investigated. Surfaces of samples that contained film corrosion inhibitors on their surfaces were analyzed. The results revealed that the surface rust was removed from the sample of type 1 No. 2 that was mainly composed of phosphate. The average weight reduction rates of re-corrosion samples were 0.58, 0.03, and 0.07% for type 1 No. 2, type 2 No. 2, and type 3 No. 2 respectively. The changes in the $Cl^-$ ion, a corrosive agent were found to be 28.60, -4.08, and -1.94 ppm for type 1 No. 2, type 2 No. 2, and type 3 No. 2 respectively. The water-treated films were analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It was found that type 2 No. 2 had less Fe the basis metal, than that in type 3 No. 2 indicating much better film. Moreover, Si content was higher in type 2 No. 2, based on the silicate content, than in type 3 No. 2. They are speculated to be the reason or the formation of a better film. Type 1 No. 2, which is mainly composed of phosphate, would be inappropriate as a metal artifact conservation treatment. It was determined that type 2 No. 2 and type 3 No. 2 water treatments, which are mainly composed of silicate, provided excellent corrosion inhibiting effects. Corrosion inhibitors could be used as emergency treatment agents during the excavation of iron artifacts.

This paper studies the early-aged chloride binding capacity of various blended concretes including OPC(ordinary Portland cement), PFA(pulversied fly ash), GGBFS(ground granulated blast furnace slag) and SF(silica fume) cement paste. Cement pastes with 0.4 of a free water/binder ratio were cast with chloride admixed in mixing water, which ranged from 0.1 to 3.0% by weight of cement and different replacement ratios for the PFA, GGBFS and SF were used. The content of chloride in each paste was measured using water extraction method after 7 days curing. It was found that the chloride binding capacity strongly depends on binder type, replacement ratio and total chloride content. An increase in total chloride results in a decrease in the chloride binding, because of the restriction of the binding capacity of cement matrix. For the pastes containing maximum level of PFA(30%) and GGBFS(60%) replacement in this study, the chloride binding capacity was lower than those of OPC paste, and an increase in SF resulted in decreased chloride binding, which are ascribed to a latent hydration of pozzolanic materials and a fall in the pH of the pore solution, respectively. The chloride binding capacity at 7 days shows that the order of the resistance to chloride-induced corrosion is 30%PFA > 10%SF > 60%GGBFS > OPC, when chlorides are internally intruded in concrete. In addition, it is found that the binding behaviour of all binders are well described by both the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms.

In order to develop the commercial storage method of chestnut by irradiation combined with natural low temperature, a chestnut variety Ok-gwang was stored in a natural low temperature storage room ($450{\times}650{\times}250$ cmH; year-round temperature change, $2-17^{\circ}C$; R.H., 80-85%) on batch scale followed by irradiation with optimum dose level. Sprouting rate of chestnut was 100% after seven month storage in control whereas that of 20-25 Krad irradiated group was only 5-15%. In comparison of rotting rate, weight loss and texture, 25 Krad irradiated group was better than that of control. Moisture and reducing sugar were increased in contrast with the decrease of total sugar during nine month storage and these changes were more remarkable in control. Ascorbic acid content was slightly decreased both in control and irradiated group; more decrement was noticed in control.

This study was investigated the effects of maintaining the freshness and stabilization of supply and demand for lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) by packaging methods in summer. Post-harvest lettuces were packaged by corrugated box, polypropylene (P) box, and individual wrapping using polyvinyl chloride (PVC) film. Then, the lettuce samples were stored at $2^{\circ}C$ and evaluated the change of quality during storage. The lettuces wrapped individually with PVC film had lower weight loss rate, color change, and browning index compared to lettuces packaged by corrugated box and P box. The SPAD value and hardness were higher in lettuces wrapped individually with PVC film than other packaging methods. The lettuces wrapped individually with PVC film were showed the highest total phenolic contents and DPPH radical scavenging activity, but there were no significantly differences by packaging methods. The lettuces packaged by corrugated box were showed the inside browning after 14 days. However, the lettuces wrapped individually with PVC film were showed the best appearance. Therefore, the packaging method of wrapped individually with PVC film were effective in maintaining the freshness during 21 days and helpful for the stabilization of supply and demand for lettuce in summer.

An infrared camera and laser common-path optical system is applied to DIRCM (directional infrared countermeasures), to increase boresighting accuracy and decrease weight. Thermal effects of a laser beam in a common-path optical system are analyzed and evaluated, to predict any degradation in image quality. A laser beam with high energy density is absorbed by and heats the optical components, and then the surface temperature of the optical components increases. The heated optical components of the common-path optical system decrease system transmittance, which can degrade image quality. For analysis, the assumed simulation condition is that the laser is incident for 10 seconds on the mirror (aluminum, silica glass, silicon) and lens (sapphire, zinc selenide, silicon, germanium) materials, and the surface temperature distribution of each material is calculated. The wavelength of the laser beam is $4{\mu}m$ and its output power is 3 W. According to the results of the calculations, the surface temperature of silica glass for the mirror material and sapphire for the lens material is higher than for other materials; the main reason for the temperature increase is the absorption coefficient and thermal conductivity of the material. Consequently, materials for the optical components with high thermal conductivity and low absorption coefficient can reduce the image-quality degradation due to laser-beam thermal effects in an infrared camera and laser common-path optical system.

This study was conducted to investigate the change in quality attributes of fresh-cut potatoes with heat and browning inhibitor treatment (CW: dip in the cold water for 30 sec at $4^{\circ}C$, HW: dip in the water for 60 sec at $55^{\circ}C$, AA: dip in the 0.1% solution of ascorbic acid for 60 sec at $4^{\circ}C$, HA: dip in the 0.1% solution of ascorbic acid for 60 sec at $55^{\circ}C$) during storage at $5^{\circ}C$. During storage, fresh-cut potatoes treated with HA showed the lowest value in surface color. PPO and PAL activities of fresh-cut potatoes treated with HA were gradually increased during storage. Hardness, weight loss, soluble solids content and moisture content had no significant difference between the treatments. In sensory acceptance, fresh-cut potatoes treated for HA marked the best quality. Conclusively, heat and browning inhibitor treatment showed the positive effect on browning inhibition while maintaining the quality of fresh-cut potatoes.
