To establish the optimum conditions for storing buttercup squash, we examined the effectiveness of several storage methods and the quality of the squash under various storage conditions, including temperature (12 and $20^{\circ}C$) and relative humidity (20, 40, 60, and 80%). The spoiling rate of the squash was affected more by the storage temperature than the relative humidity, and the squash stored at $20^{\circ}C$ started to be deteriorated after 20 days of storage. At $20^{\circ}C$, soluble solid content gradually increased until 20 days of storage, and then it tended to decrease. The L-value had a tendency to increase with days of storage, and the a- and b-value also increased after 40 days. In addition, the color changes were great when the squash was stored at high temperature and high relative humidity. The total pectin content increased until 20 days at $20^{\circ}C$, and then it decreased, but less change was observed in the squash stored at $12^{\circ}C$. Overall, the results showed that storage at $20^{\circ}C$ after field curing resulted in excessive weight loss, color loss and poor eating quality, as well as a high level of decay (approximately 70%) after 40 days. However, the squash stored at $12^{\circ}C$ and 60% RH (relative humidity) showed less degreening and had a reduced level of decay, below 10%.

This study was carried out to identify the change of appearance, chlorophyll and ascorbic acid contents of green peas during storage at $5^{\circ}C,\;20{\circ}C$, and the results were summarized as follows; 1. appearance of green peas with the pod was better than green peas without the pod during storage, and storage power at $5^{\circ}C$ was better than storage $20^{\circ}C$. 2. The chlorophyll contents of green peas with the pod was higher than green peas without the pod during storage at $5^{\circ}C,\;20{\circ}C$. 3. The ascorbic acid contents of green peas were remarkably decreased in storage at $20^{\circ}C$, and its contents of storage 21 days at $5^{\circ}C$ were similar to contents of storage $2{\sim}7$ days at $20^{\circ}C$.

The optimum temperature for germination of conidia and germ tube elongation were between $20\;and\;30^{\circ}C$ in C. dematium and C. gloeosporioides. Appressoria were fairly formed well at $20^{\circ}C$ despite the delay of conidial germination. At $30^{\circ}C$, both the germination and germ tube elongation are favored, but appressoria were poorly detected to be formed. In C. acutatum, the optimum temperature for germination of conidia was from $20\;to\;30^{\circ}C$, but at $25^{\circ}C$, germ tube elongation are accelerated. The conidia become septate and one or both doughter cells become conidiogenous instead of producing germ tubes and a secondary conidia produced, resulting in an arborescent type of connected conidia. Appressoria are infrequently formed by germinating conida. At $20\;to\;25^{\circ}C$ was the optimum for appressorium formation. But conidia that germinated at $30^{\circ}C$ seemed to lose the ability to form appressoria. The relation of temperature to germination of conidia and appressorium formation in Colletotrichum acutatum, C. dematium and C. gloeosporioides are discussed.

This study was designed to investigate the effects of roasting temperatures on the antinutritional factors and functional properties of sesame protein isolates. The protein contents a sesame protein isolates (SPI) prepared at roasting temperatures of 5$0^{\circ}C$, 10$0^{\circ}C$, 15$0^{\circ}C$ and 20$0^{\circ}C$ were 65.5%, 66.6%. 68.9% and 64.1%, respectively. Total phenolic compounds, condensed tannin and phytate contents of SPI was increased from 5$0^{\circ}C$ to 20$0^{\circ}C$. From color measurements, higher roasting temperature decreased 'L' and 'b' values significantly, but 'a' value was increased. The bulk density, fat absorption and water absorption of SPI was increased as the temperature of roasting was increased. Sesame protein isolates prepared by roasting at 5$0^{\circ}C$, 10$0^{\circ}C$ and 15$0^{\circ}C$ had higher emulsifying activity than those prepared by roasting at 20$0^{\circ}C$. Foaming capacity of SPI was not changed by roasting up to 10$0^{\circ}C$, but this property was reduced dramatically when roasted at 20$0^{\circ}C$.

The in-situ thermal response test for the design of a ground heat exchanger of geothermal heat pumps have difficulty in predicting the outlet temperature according to the variation of conditions due to the expense and time. This paper suggests a 3-D CFD analysis method to predict the heat transfer performance of vertical type ground heat exchanger, which is mostly used in national, and the outlet temperature and the slope of two in-situ thermal response tests were compared to test the proposed CFD reliability. The results of CFD analysis showed that the outlet temperature was predicted to within $0.5^{\circ}C$ of the actual value and the slope was predicted to within 1.6%. The reliability of the CFD analysis method was confirmed using this process, and the outlet temperature prediction of the two in-situ thermal response tests was obtained by changing ${\pm}20%$ of the flow rate and the effective thermal conductivity conditions, respectively. The results of CFD analysis showed that the outlet temperature of Case 1 was 28.0 (-20%) and $29.6^{\circ}C$ (+20%) for the flow rate variation and $29.6^{\circ}C$ (-20%) and $28.0^{\circ}C$ (+20%) for the effective thermal conductivity variation, and the outlet temperature of Case 2 was 28.4 (-20%) and $29.8^{\circ}C$ (+20%) for the flow rate variation and $29.7^{\circ}C$(-20%) and $28.4^{\circ}C$(+20%) for the effective thermal conductivity variation.

We used the hybrid density-functional (B3LYP/6-31G(d,p)) method to analyze the substitution patterns of $C_{20}H_{18}X_2$ derivatives (X = F, Cl, Br, or OH) obtained as disubstituted $C_{20}H_{20}$ cages. Our results suggest that the cis-1 regioisomers (1,2-dihalo derivatives) are less stable than the trans-1 regioisomers (1,20-dihalo derivatives), whereas in the case of the dihydroxy derivatives, the cis-1 regioisomer is more stable than the trans-1 regioisomer. This implies that in the dihalo-induced strain cages of $C_{20}H_{18}X_2$, the strain effect would affect the relative energies, while in the dihydroxide, the hydrogen bonds have a stronger effect on the relative energies in cis-1 regioisomer than the strain effect do. Thus this supports the experimental result in which the bisvicinal tetrol was of particular preparative-synthetic interest as a substitute for the lacking bisvicinal tetrabromide. Further, the topologies of the HOMO and LUMO characteristics of all $C_{20}H_{18}Cl_2$ and $C_{20}H_{18}Br_2$ regioisomers with the same symmetry are same, but they are different from those of $C_{20}H_{18}F_2$ and $C_{20}H_{18}(OH)_2$. This indicates that the five regioisomers of each $C_{20}H_{20}$ disubstituted derivative will have an entirely different set of characteristic chemical reactions.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of storage temperature (0, 5, $20^{\circ}C$) on chemical components of Korean kiwifruits. Moisture content decreased in $0^{\circ}C-,\;5^{\circ}C-stored$ samples and slightly increased in $20^{\circ}C-stored$ sample. Soluble solid content increased in $0^{\circ}C-,\;5^{\circ}C-stored$ samples and decreased in $20^{\circ}C-stored$ sample ranging from 11 to $14\;^{\circ}Brix$. pH and titratable acidity remained at the level of $3{\sim}3.5$ and $1{\sim}1.5$, respectively. The content of malic and quinic acid increased during storage at $0^{\circ}C$ and $5^{\circ}C$. In case of citric acid, the content increased up to 6th week and then decreased. Kiwifruits stored at $20^{\circ}C$ showed a changing pattern of organic acids similar to those stored at 0 and $5^{\circ}C$. Glucose, fructose and sucrose increased in $0^{\circ}C-,\;5^{\circ}C-stored$ samples except fructose at $5^{\circ}C$. In case of $20^{\circ}C-stored$ sample, sucrose increased up to 2∼3th week and then decreased.

The purpose of this study was to examine how potato glycoalkaloid(PGA) contents changed as storing temperatures and periods changed for potatoes(Superior) cultivated in Korea. Some potatoes were stored at $5^{\circ}$C for 80 days, and others were stored at $20^{\circ}$C for 40 days. PGA contents were measured every 20 days for the potatoes stored at $5^{\circ}$C and 10 days for those stored at $20^{\circ}$C. The results can be summarized as follows. The amounts of a-chaconine and a-solanine measured on the first day of storage were 54.22 mg/100 g and 26.57 mg/100 g, respectively. Thus, the a-chaconine content was almost twice as much as the a-solanine content. The sprouts of potatoes stored at $5^{\circ}$C grew by 0.4 cm in 20 days, 1 cm in 40 days, 1.8 cm in 60 days, and 5.2 cm in 80 days. Furthermore, the PGA content increased by 3.5% in 20 days, 11.6% in 40 days, 23.4% in 60 days, and 41.4% in 80 days, compared to the PGA content on the first day. The sprouts of potatoes stored at 20 grew by 0.5 cm in 10 days, 2.3 cm in 20 days, and 7.4 cm in 40 days. Furthermore, PGA content increased by 12.5% in 10 days, 36.6% in 20 days, 44.8% in 30 days and 48.4% in 40 days, compared to the PGA content on the first day. Thus, we determined that potatoes stored at $20^{\circ}$C showed faster sprout growths and faster increases in PGA content than those stored at $5^{\circ}$C.

The objective of this study is to obtain the basic data for investigating the effects of organic reserves on winter survial or regrowth yield. Dry matter, nitrogen and non-structural carbohydrate content of plants grown under $5^{\circ}C$ or $20^{\circ}C$ of culture temperature during 25 days were investigated. The dry matter content of leaves and roots were significantly reduced under $5^{\circ}C$ compared with $20^{\circ}C$culture condition. Comparing with the dry matter per plant under $20^{\circ}C$, those in leaves and roots under $5^{\circ}C$ decreased to 25% and 10%, respectively, after 25 days of temperature treatment. Total nitrogen content in leaves under $20^{\circ}C$ and $5^{\circ}C$ increased to 68% and 39% compared to the initial lenel(day O), respectively, during 25 days after temperature treatment, Nitrogen content in roots highly increased under 5 C while there was a little change under $20^{\circ}C$ condition. The nitrogen contents in roots under $5^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$ were 39.0 and 30.8mgJg DM, respectively, after 25 days of temperature treatment. Total contents of soluble carbohydrate in both leaves and roots under $5^{\circ}C$ were higher than those under $20^{\circ}C$ condition. After 25 days of temperature treatment under$5^{\circ}C$ , their contents in leaves and roots were 1.4 and 2.0 times higher than those of under $20^{\circ}C$ condition. Stach atent in roots under $20^{\circ}C$ was less changed, while thatof under $5^{\circ}C$ greatly increased from 64.8 to 178.7mglg DM duling 25 days. 'Ihese results clearly showed that an accumulation of both nitrogen and non-structural carbohydrate in the plants occured under low temperature condition.e condition.

Polyurethane (PU)/organoclay nanocomposites were prepared by mixing UV curable urethane acrylate oligomer with organoclay, and a subsequent curing by UV irradiation. As organoclays, commercially available Cloisite 20A (C20A) and acrylsilane modified C20A were used. XRD and TEM analyses revealed that the UV cured PU/clay nanocomposites formed intercalated nanocomposites, and acrylsilane modified C20A are dispersed more finely than unmodified C20A in PU matrix. DMTA, pencil hardness and adhesion test onto PET substrate showed that the clay nanolayers induced an increase in the properties, and the enhancement in the properties was more pronounced in the PU/acrylsilane modified C20A nanocomposites than in the PU/unmodified C20A nanocomposites. It was also observed that the PU/surface modified clay nanocomposites showed remarkably lower shrinkage upon UV curing than the unfilled PU. The nanocomposites showed excellent optical transparency but lower gloss as compared to unfilled PU.
