The effect of peeling methods, spherecity and weight of potatoes and carrots on the peeling efficiency were investigated. The changes in the surface texture by peeling were estimated by Rheometer and were related to the changes in the microstructure. The optimum mechanical peeling conditions using abrasion type rotary peeler were 90 sec. at 300 rpm for potatoes, 70 sec. at 300 rpm for sweet potatoes and 60 sec. at 300 rpm for carrots. The peeling loss was influenced by the sphericity and weight of the sample. The optimum conditions for alkali peeling were 90 sec. immersion in boiling 10% NaOH solution for potatoes, 300 sec. in boiling 10% NaOH solution for sweet potatoes and 60 sec. in boiling 6% NaOH solution for carrots. Severe damage of surface structure was noticed by alkali peeling, demonstrated by denaturation of starch granules in the cell. The structural damage observed by microscope was related to the reduction of cutting force after peeling.

Morphological characters of section Atratae of the genus Carex (Cyperaceae) were reexamined. The epidermal patterns of perigynium, achene and leaf were investigated using by a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and a light microscope (LM). Morphological characters such as length and width of stem, leaf, bract, spike, scale, perigynium and achene, and shape of cross-sectioned stem, and leaf, spike, scale, apex of scale, perigynium, beak of perigynium and achene, and epidermal pattern of perigynium, achene and leaf (shape of fundamental epidermal cell and cell wall, type of silica body, shape of beak epidermal cell and cell wall in perigynium, subsidiary cell shape, size and frequency of stomatal complex of leaf) were useful for the identifications of the observed seven taxa. C. gmelinii, C. hancokiana and C. peiktusani have been confused each other due to similar morphological characters. Howerever these taxa were distinct with respect to shape of scale, apex of scale, perigynium, type of silica body, frequence of stomatal complex, subsidal cell shape, and epidermal patterns of achene and leaf.

In order to investigate the potential of a Angelica keiskei Koidzumi extract and its fractions as an active ingredient for whitening cosmetics, we prepared Angelica keiskei Koidzumi extract(70% ethanol), and the aqueous suspension was successively extracted with hexane, ethyl acetate(EA), and n-butanol fraction. We measured their inhibitory effects on mushroom tyrosinase and melanin synthesis in B16 melanoma cells and normal human kerationocytes in vitro. They did not show inhibitory activity against mushroom tyrosinase and the melanin synthesis except hexane and EA fractions. Hexane and EA fractions markedly inhibited cellular tyrosinase activity at a lower concentration(25 and 5 ${\mu}g/mL$, respectively) than arbutin(250 ${\mu}g/mL$). We also quantified the released amount of endothelin-1(ET-1), a mitogen of melanocyte, and interleukin-$1{\alpha}$(IL-$1{\alpha})$, a mediator of UVB-induced inflammation. Hexane and EA fractions did not affect IL-$1{\alpha}$ production, but they decreased UVB-induced ET-1 production in normal human keratinocytes in a dose dependant manner. As a result, hexane and EA fractions could inhibit the melanogenesis through the inhibition of UVB-induced ET-1 production in normal human keratinocytes. This result suggests that hexane and EA fractions of Angelica keiskei Koidzumi extract could be used as an active ingredient for cosmetics.

Entering into the 21st century, digital culture and the innovation of media technology have drastically changed our understanding of the concept of space. Increased availability of information made possible by technological advancement has, directly or indirectly, contributed to the development of space design, which, in turn, offers a possibility for a new paradigm in space design. Given these fundamental changes, this study seeks to explore how to understand the expansion of the concept of space. In order to answer this question, this study investigates de-materialization tendency in modern architectural design such as transparency, anti-gravity, complexity and simultaneity of space. It examines the interaction-oriented nature of space among human, information and time. Finally, based on concepts such as new hyper-surface, which transcend the limitations of space and time, it explores new emerging trends in space design.

In the conventional thermograph systems, expensive infrared lens systems are usually used for accomodating infrared beams to high speed optical scanners. In this study, a cheap focussing mirror with a two dimensional scanner are used for the development of medical infrared thermograph system in which high speed imaging is not critically required. The infrared thermograph system can be used for two dimensional imaging of human skin temperature by measuring the amount of infrared lights radiating from it. It has been experimentally proven that the accuracy of temperature measurements using the developed system is under 0.1$^{\circ}C$ with image matrix size of 256${\times}$240, and imaging time of 4 seconds.

Multiple shoots of garlic (Allium sativum L.) were propagated in bioreactors containing MS medium supplemented with 2% sucrose for 3 weeks. Microbulbs were induced on MS medium supplemented with 0.1mg/L NAA and 11% sucrose for 9 weeks. For multiple shoot proliferation, leaves in the shoot must be removed before cultures. When the multiple shoots were cultured without removal of leaves, more than 90% of hyperhydricity and no microbulb formation were observed. Histological observation also indicated irregular size and shape of the cells in hyperhydricity of the shoot. Microbulbs were strarted to form from the shoot after 7 weeks of culture by protuberance of adventitious shoot buds followed by inner periclinal divisions and simultaneous anticlinical division in the epidermis of meristematic bulge. Analysis of ploidy level indicated no phenotypic variations in both multiple shoots and microbulbs induced from the mother plant, suggesting genetic homogeneity among the regenerants.

This study was carried out to investigate the epidermal structure and types of stomata on the upper and lower surfaces of the leaves in six species and one variety belonging to Korean Crassulaceae. The shape of epidermal cells was polygonal, isodiametric, or elongated. The cell wall was thick, sinuous or deeply sinuous. The subsidiary cell wall was thin or mostly arched. The cytolith-containing cells were found in Orostachys japonicus. The distribution of stomata was more on the upper surface than on the lower surface in the leaves of O. japonicus and Sedum sarmentosum. The stomata in the other species were less on the upper surface than on the lower surface, and stomatal size was different in each species. The great majority of stomatal types was the helico-eumesogenous type. This type was subdivided into two, parahelico-eumesogenous type and diahelico-eumesogenous type by us on the basis of the angle of division of guard mother cell and the long axis of the last-formed subsidiary cells. Sometimes allelo-eumesogenous type as well as aniso-eumesogenous type was found. The tetra-eumesogenous type with four mesogenous subsidiary cells was rarely observed. It was observed that the varieties of aniso-eumesogenous type with one to three subsidiary cells and one helix of subsidiary cells were developed by the secondary division of subsidiary cells of aniso-eumesogenous stoma. The compound shape of helico-eumesogenous stomata was found. Five new kinds of stomatal types were observed as follows; the helico-tetra-eumesogenous type, the coallelohelico-eumesogenous type, the cohelico-allelo-eumesogenous type, the duplotetra-eumesogenous type, and the aniso-euperigenous type. These types were reported here in the vascular plants for the first time.
