Panax ginseng leaves are produced as the by-product when Panax ginseng roots were harvested. The Panax ginseng leaves was examed for the applicable possibility as the functional food. In this study, the changes in chemical composition of Panax ginseng leaves was examed by three methods as the hot-air dried(DRT), the aged tea(AGT) and the heat processed tea(HPT). The general composition of Panax ginseng leaves tea was shown as similar results in 3 different process methods. The level of the crude lipid and reducing sugar concentration were decreased slightly in HPT. The free sugar content of DRT was higher than the HPT and AGT. The existence of the higher content of free sugar composition in order are sucrose, fructose and glucose. The concentration of serine was the highest in the free amino acids, which were shown from 309.6 mg% to 336.6 mg%. The contents of free amino acid in Panax ginseng leaves made by DRT was higher than by AGT and HPT. The concentration of Ca was shown as the highest content among the minerals and was 2,115 mg%. The contents of minerals were existed in order of Ca, K, Mg, P, Na, Mn, Fe, Zn and Cu. But there were hardly any remarkable differences of mineral concentrations of Panax ginseng leaves tea made by different processing methods. The concentration of water soluble solid of Panax ginseng leaves tea processed by HPT was higher than by DRT and AGT. The concentration of ascorbic acid was shown the highest value of 424.4mg% in HPT. There was no differences in the fatty acid composition according to their processing methods. The concentration of palmitic acid was higher than that of other fatty acid. The order of fatty acid concentration were palmitic aicd, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, oleic acid and stearic acid, abundantly. As a conclusion, HPT was shown as the best process method for the production of Panax ginseng leaves tea.

This study was conducted to estimate the biofunctional characteristics, namely nitrite scavenging effect of barley leaves (BL) and their mixture (AM) with other antioxidants. Aqueous or methanol extracts were obtained from BL and AM. Aqueous and methanol extracts from barley leaves had relatively higher nitrite scavenging effects and its activities and contents increased in a concentration-dependent manner. The activities and contents of methanol extracts obtained from BL and AM were higher than those of aqueous extracts. Especially, AM containing BL and other antioxidant mixture had the highest activities and contents increased in a concentration-dependent manner. BL or AM were added to macrophage cells of RAW 264.7. Survival rates of the cells treated with BL and AM were measured to be different. $IC_{50}$ value decreased in a concentration-dependent manner by the addition of aqueous or methanol extracts from BL and AM. Especially, methanol extracts of AM had the highest nitrite scavenging effects. Thus, BL and AM may have protective effect against carcinogen and immune ability against reactive molecules through NO (nitric oxide) signal pathway. From the above results, barley leaves appear to contain natural anticancer and immune-related agents and may have potentiality to be used as functional food ingredients.

This experiment was conducted to determine the mineral absorption character and develop the optimum composition of nutrient solution for dill(Anethum graveolens L.) in hydroponics. Dill(Anethum graveolens L.) plants were grown in nutrient film technique(NFT) supplied with 1/4, 1/2, and 1 strength of the nutrient solution developed by National Research Station in Japan(HRS). Plants grown in 1/2 strength showed the best growth in plant height, fresh weight, and dry weight compared with those grown in 1/4 or 1 strength. In 1/2 strength solution, pH and EC changed little and proper nutrient contents were observed in the leaves as compared to plant nutrient diagnosis standard. Based on these results, optimum macronutrients were composed by nutrient- water absorption rate(n/w) with 1/2 strength: NO$_2$―N 8.85, NH$_4$―N 0.55, P 2.1, K 6.2, Ca 2.8, and Mg 1.7 me L$^{-1}$ To examine the suitability of the nutrient solution developed(SCU) , dill plants were grown in NFT supplied with two different kinds of solution and concentration. 1/2, 1, 3/2 and 25 of SCU and 1/2S of HRS. Changes of pH and EC were not distinct in 1S, but a significant change of pH was shown in low concentrations-HRS 1/2S and SCU 1/2S. Shoot fresh and dry weight were much higher in the plants grown in SCU IS as compared with HRS 1/2S. There were no significant differences in growth of plants grown in SCU IS, 3/2S, and 25. In addition, nutrient contents in the leaves grown by SCU 1S were in proper levels as compared with plant nutrient diagnosis standard. SCU 1S developed in this experiment was found to be optimum for dill in hydroponics.

A series of samples in the $Nd_{1-x}Ba_xFeO_{3-y}$ system has been prepared by heating the reactants to$1200^{\circ}C$ under an ambient atmosphere, and the solid solutions were identified by X-ray power diffraction analysis. The crystal systems of samples with x = 0.00 and 0.25 were found to be orthorhombic whose local symmetry is similiar to the distorted octahedral with orthoferrite type one, whereas those with x = 0.50 and 0.75 to be the cubic system. Since Fe ions in the solid solutions are a mixed valence state between $Fe^{3+}\;and\;Fe^{4+}$ ions, the nonstoichiometric chemical formulas could be determined from the mole ratio of $Fe^{4+}$ ion and oxygen vacacies. According to the Mossbauer spectroscopic analysis, the presence of 5-coordinated $FeO_5$ was evidenced only in the barium compounds along with $FeO_6,\;and\;FeO_4$, but not in the strontium and calcium compounds. The samples with x = 0.25 and 0.50 show a spectrum of superparamagnetism, which might be due to the formation of a domain of the ferromagnetic interaction between the $Fe^{3+}\;and\;Fe^{4+}$ ions. The electrical conductivities of all samples are within semiconducting range. Since the $Fe^{4+}$ ion acts as an electron acceptor level during the electron transfer between the Fe through intermediate $O^{2-}$ ions, the activation energy of the compounds decreases with the increment of $Fe^{4+}$ content.

Uranium silicide는 우수한 조사안정성을 가지는 유망한 연구로용 저농축 분산형 핵연료 소재이나 상대적으로 낮은 uranium 함량으로 인해 고출력에 필요한 8~9g-U/㎤ 정도의 uranium 충진 밀도를 얻기 위해서는 Al기지내에 uranium silicide 핵연료 입자의 부피분율을 높여주는 것이 필요하다 핵연료 입자의 부피분율을 높이기 위하여는 핵연료봉의 Al 기지내에 핵연료 입자가 균일하게 분포되어야 한다. 균질한 핵연료 심재를 제조하기 위해서는 핵연료 입자와 알루미늄과의 균일한 혼합이 중요하며 이러한 혼합체내의 분말에 대한 균질도를 정확히 평가하는 방법의 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 혼합분말의 충진시 겉보기 밀도 측정을 통한 조성의 표준편차를 구하는 방법과 X-ray image 분석법을 새로운 균질도 평가방법으로 제시하였다. 구형의 U$_3$Si분말과 Al분말의 혼합시 drum 회전법의 경우에는 밀도차에 의한 segregation이 발생되고 있으나, Spex mill 혼합법의 경우에는 균질도가 향상되었다. 45-150$\mu\textrm{m}$의 분말크기 분포를 갖는 구형 U$_3$Si의 경우가 작은 입자들이 큰 입자들 사이를 효과적으로 채울 수 있기 때문으로 균일한 분포를 갖는 것으로 생각되며, 밀도차가 큰 U$_3$Si의 경우는 밀도차가 작은 구형 Cu-Sn 혼합체에 비해 균질도가 저하됨을 확인하였다. 겉보기 밀도 측정에 의한 균질도 측정평가와 X-ray image 분석법과의 관계에서는 같은 경향성을 찾을 수 있었다.

체외 충격파 쇄석술 (ESWL)은 체외에서 발생된 충격파를 체내의 결석이 위치한 부위에 집속하여 결석을 분쇄하는 비 침습적인 치료술이다. 최근 충격파를 이용하여 근관절 질환을 치료하는 체외 충격 파 치료술 (ESWT)이 또한 임상적으로 주목을 받고 있다. 아직 ESWT를 위한 최적의 충격파 노출 조건은 알려져 있지 않지만, 일반적으로 ESWL에 비해 상대적으로 충격파장의 초점 영역이 넓고 낮은 강도의 충격파를 사용한다. 본 연구에서는 ESWT에 적합할 것으로 예상되는 테이퍼 원통형 충격파 발생 방식을 제안하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 테이퍼 원통형 충격 파 발생 의 초점 부위의 파형을 수치 해석하여 평가하고, 기존 원통형의 경우와 비교하였다. 테이퍼 원통형 충격파 발생기의 시제품을 제작하고, 발생된 강도를 평가하기 위해, 모의 결석을 제작하여 분쇄 효율을 측정하였으며, 결과를 원통형 충격파 발생기와 비교하였다.

사료중에 포함된 총에너지는 이것이 전량 동물에게 이용되는 것이 아니고 여러가지 형태로서 손실이 일어나는 것이다. 분과 뇨 그리고 열량증가로서의 에너지의 손실을 공제하고 실제로 동물에게 이용되는 에너지를 정미 에너지라고 하며 정미에너지는 다시 생산과 유지에 쓰이기 위한 것이다. 동물에게 실제로 이용되는 유효에너지인 정미에너지가를 추정하는데는 가소화에너지, 대사에너지, 생산에너지가 흔히 사용되고 있으나 그중에서 구하기가 비교적 쉽고 유효에너지의 훌륭한 척도가 될 수 있는 대사에너지(ME)의 개념이 가장 많이 쓰이고 있다. 대사에너지의 약점은 동물의 체내에서 일어나는 에너지의 손실중 열량증가(Specific dynamic action)로서의 손실을 고려하지 않았다는데 있으며 이로 인해서 몇가지 문제점들이 발견되고 있으나 지금까지 많은 연구가 이루어져 왔으며 앞으로도 계속해서 검토되어야 할 것이다. 성장중의 병아리를 대상으로 ME를 추정하는 방법은 많은 학자들에 의해서 창안되었으며 실제로 많은 단미사료의 ME함량에 대한 데이타는 손쉽게 구할 수 있다. 그러나 산란계를 대상으로 한 시험은 많지 않았으며 병아리로부터 얻어진 데이타를 산란계에 적용하고 있는 실정인바, 어떤 사료에 대해서는 병아리와 산란계 사이에 이용성이 다를 수 있다는 점에서 앞으로는 보다 많은 단미사료에 대해서 산란계로부터 직접 측정하여 이용함이 바람직하다. 생물학적인 사양시험을 통해서 직접 측정된 ME가와 그 사료의 화학적 성분함량과의 관계를 조사함으로써 화학적 조성으로 ME가를 추정하는 방법의 개발은 그 추정치가 반드시 정확하지는 않다 하더라도 사전 지식이 없는 새로운 단미 사료에 부딛쳤을때 그 사료의 대략적인 에너지가를 짐작하는데 도움을 준다. 각종 단미사료의 ME함량에 대해서 우리나라에서 측정된 자료가 많지 않고 대부분 외국의 데이타를 이용하고 있는 실정인바 앞으로는 우리나라에서 실제 사용되고 있는 많은 단미사료에 대한 ME가 직접 국내에서 측정, 이용되어야 할 것으로 생각한다.

Seawater, sediment and biota in the Kwangyang Bay were analyzed by gas chromatography/quartz furnace atomic absorption spectroscopy (GC-QFAAS) to investigate concentrations and distribution pattern of butyltin compounds (TBT, DBT, MBT) during February, April and July, 1996, Marine biota analyzed were Tapes japcnicus and Crassostrea gigas. The concentrations of tributyltin (TBT) in seawater were in the range of ND-15.7 ng/L for the surface and ND-68.5 ng/L for the bottom. The highest concentration of TBT in seawater was detected in April for the both, surface and bottom water. The maximum value of $TBT_{(bottom)}/TBT_{(surface)}$, 3.6 in April showed the increased input of TBT from the surface water in April compared to February (2.1) and July (0.9). The concentrations of TBT in the sediment were in the range of ND-8.5 ng/g dry wt. The highest concentration of TBT in the sediment was measured in July, This result seems to attributed to the removal of TBT from water column via sorption onto particulate matters to the relatively undisturbed underlying sediment and increased input of TBT by increased fluxes of detritus of marine plankton after spring bloom, in July. The mean values of partitioning coefficient ($K_d$) of TBT between seawater and sediment were $3.0\times10^3$(February), $7.4\times10^3$(April) and $9.4\times10^3$(July). The concentrations of TBT in biosamples were in the range of ND-93.30 ng/g dru wt. (T. japonicus) and ND-138.53 ng/g dry wt. (C. gigas). The seasonal variation of TBT contents in biota was remarkable. The $K_d$ (biological concentration factor) was $7-41\times10^3$ for T. japonicus. and $5-34\times10^3$ for C. gigas. The measured TBT concentrations in seawater in the study area was sufficient to cause the imposex of shellfish and to retard the growth of aquatic organisms including oyster upon chronic exposure.

To investigate the role of vitamin E in protection against lipid per-oxide formation and to monitor the changes in the status of vitamin E. A and reduced glutathione(GSH) in fish oil feeding male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups. Control group was fed soybean oil and fish oil groups(FO, FI, FII) fed menhaden oil and soybean oil(9:1) mixture at the level of 10% (w/w) respectively. Dietary vitamin E levels were 30 T, E for control and FI, 2 T.E. for FO and 140 T. E for FII Feeding periods were 4, 8, and 16 weeks. Throughout all periods plasma vitamin E levels(either per ml or per mg lipid) of FO group were extremely low and liver and adipose tissue vitamin E levels were also the lowest among four groups, Plasma vitamin E levels per ml were lower in FI and FII than control but per mg lipid were in the order of FII>FI$\geq$control but vitamin E level per mg lipid did not differ in liver and adipose tissue. As feeding prolonged vitamin E levels in plasma and other tissue were decreased in FO but increased in the other groups. Plsama and liver thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance(TBARS) values were elevated in FO. but increased in the other groups. Plasma and liver thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance(TBARS) values were elevated in FO. While plasma TBARS values as per ml plasma were similar or lower in FI and FII as compared to control plasma TBARS values as per mg lipd and liver TBARS values were in the order of $FI\geqFII>control.$ Plasma and liver vitamin A blood GSH but not liver GSH appeared to be in the order of FII control>FI>FO and this was most significant in 8 weeks. This results suggests that both type of dietary oil and levels of vitamin E affect not only lipid peroxidation but also the status of other physiological antioxidants which have the potential to spare the role of vitamin E.
