From Korean cultivated peony root, paeoniflorin and albiflorin, which are generally considered to be principal components of peony root, were isolated by silicagel column chromatography. Their structures were identified by spectroscopic methods $(UV,\;FT-IR,\;^1H{\cdot}^{13}C-NMR)$ and their purities were 98% and 93%, respectively. The concentrations of paeoniflorin and albiflorin in ten Korean cultivated peony lines were determined by reverse phase HPLC. The concentrations of paeoniflorin ranged from 1. 56 to 4.04% and those of albiflorin ranged from 0.04 to 1. 98% in ten Korean cultivated lines. In the ten cultivated lines, the concentrations of albiflorin in Punggi lines were higher than other lines.

This study assessed the removal efficiency of NOM which is known as the precursors of DBPs in advanced water treatment using the ceramic membrane filtration, introduced the first in the nation at the Y water treatment plant (WTP). It is generally well-known that the removal of NOM by MF Membrane is very low in water treatment process. But, the result of investigation on removal efficiency of NOM in advanced water treatment using the ceramic membrane was different as follows. The removal rate of organic contaminant by the ceramic membrane advanced water treatment was determined to be 65.5% for the DOC, 85.8% for UV254, and 77 to 86% for DBPFP. The removal rate of pre-ozonation was found to be 6 to 15% more effective compared with the pre-chlorination. The removal rate of DOC and $UV_{254}$ in biological activated carbon(BAC) process was over 50% and 75%, respectively although the rate was decreased 10 ~ 20% according to analysis items in converting from GAC to BAC.

Livestock wastewater is known to be very difficult to treat because it contains highly non-biodegradable organic material. Thus the DOF(Dissolved Ozone Flotation) system and the PO2(Pressurized Ozone Oxidation) system were built at the livestock wastewater treatment plant, and characteristics of treatments were investigated in this paper. Suspended Solids(SS) removal efficiency was over 94% by DOF system. 90% of $COD_{Mn}$ was removed, from 620 mg/L down to 63 mg/L by the DOF-PO2 system. During the period of operation, $SCOD_{Cr}$ was removed an average of 82%, from 890 mg/L down to 160 mg/L. 96% of UV-254 absorbance was also removed. TP removal efficiency was over 98%, from 27 mg/L to 0.35 mg/L, and TN was also removed 68% along with suspended solids. It was possible to meet effluent standards of the livestock wastewater treatment plant by the DOF-PO2 system along with biological treatment.

Mediastinal pancreatic pseudocyst is a rare complication of acute or chronic pancreatitis. Pleural effusion and pneumonia are two of the most common thoracic complications from pancreatic disease, while pancreaticopleural fistula with massive pleural effusion and extension of pseudocyst into the mediastinum is a rare complication of the thorax from pancreatic disease. To the best of our knowledge, there have been no case reports of mediastinal pancreatic pseudocyst-induced esophageal fistula in Korea to date. Here in, we report a case about 43-year-old man of mediastinal pancreatic pseudocyst-induced esophageal fistula presenting with chest pain radiating toward the back and progressive dysphagia. The diagnosis was confirmed by an esophagogastroduodenoscopy and abdomen computed tomography (CT). The patient was treated immediately using a conservative method; subsequently, within 3 days from treatment initiation, symptoms-chest pain and dysphagia- disappeared. In a follow-up gastroscopy 7 days later and abdomen CT 12 days later, mediastinal pancreatic pseudocyst showed signs of improvement, and esophageal fistula disappeared without any complications.

$Bi_2Te_3$ related compounds show the best thermoelectric properties at room temperature. However, n-type $Bi_2Te_{2.7}Se_{0.3}$ showed no improvement on ZT values. To improve the thermolectric propterties of n-type $Bi_2Te_{2.7}Se_{0.3}$, this research has Cu-doped n-type powder. This study focused on effects of Cu-doping method on the thermoelectric properties of n-type materials, and evaluated the comparison between the Cu chemical and mechanical doping. The synthesized powder was manufactured by the spark plasma sintering(SPS). The thermoelectric properties of the sintered body were evaluated by measuring their Seebeck coefficient, electrical resistivity, thermal conductivity, and hall coefficient. An introduction of a small amount of Cu reduced the thermal conductivity and improved the electrical properties with Seebeck coefficient. The authors provided the optimal concentration of $Cu_{0.1}Bi_{1.99}Se_{0.3}Te_{2.7}$. A figure of merit (ZT) value of 1.22 was obtained for $Cu_{0.1}Bi_{1.9}Se_{0.3}Te_{2.7}$ at 373K by Cu chemical doping, which was obviously higher than those of $Cu_{0.1}Bi_{1.9}Se_{0.3}Te_{2.7}$ at 373K by Cu mechanical doping (ZT=0.56) and Cu-free $Bi_2Se_{0.3}Te_{2.7}$ (ZT=0.51).

Mesh WLANs, which consist of wireless mesh routers connecting each other in a mesh topology and self-operate after their autoconfiguration, have several advantages in convenience, swiftness and flexibility of deployment and operation over existing WLANs the expansions of which are done by connecting the APs with wires. However, many technical issues still remain to be solved. Among them, network performance degradations due to the interference between the adjacent hops in multi-hop mesh WLANs, and the reusability of the existing wireless network protocols are critical problems to be answered. This work evaluates the VoIP support performance of IEEE 802.11a/g-based mesh WLANs with multiple wireless interfaces with simulations. The results show that there exit an unfairness in VoIP packet delay performances among mobile routers located at different hops, and that although the capacity of the admitted calls can be increased by increasing the size of voice packet payload it is far less than the expected one. This suggests that the existing 802.11 MAC protocols have their limitation when applied in mesh networks and their enhancement or even a newer one nay be required.

Owing to its excellent nutritional value, eggs are among the most important components of the human diet. Gender and environmental factors, such as feed composition, may alter the nutritional profile and quality of eggs. Feed additives have recently been used to enhance the health and productivity of hens, which has resulted in the production of higher-quality eggs. The fungus Cordyceps militaris, a well-established source of traditional medicines, contains potential bioactive metabolites, which prompted us to examine the effects of C. militaris-supplemented diets on the quality of hens' eggs. The hens of two species (Gallus gallus domesticus and Araucana) were fed with one of three different diets: a control diet and diets supplemented with 2% or 5% of C. militaris. Egg quality was determined by measuring the Haugh Unit, yolk color, and shell thickness. In addition, egg and shell densities together with the ratio of yolk to albumen were calculated. Eggshell thickness and yolk color were both enhanced by the addition of C. militaris, whereas Haugh Unit values were somewhat reduced. Egg size, eggshell weight, and yolk and albumen production were all enhanced by C. militaris supplementation. Notably, in hens fed the 2% C. militaris-supplemented diet, enhancement was more evident in the yolk than in the albumen. The overall quality of the egg yolk was enhanced when 2% C. militaris was added to the hens' diet, which led to increases in both yolk color and quantity. Eggshell thickness and weight were also higher among eggs laid by hens fed the supplemented diets. Although these effects differed depending on the chicken species, we established that, in general, C. militaris contributes to improving egg quality.

The radiation dosage of nuclear fuel handling machine of PHWR type NPP during normal operation is measured using semiconductor detectors. In order to predict and mitigate the damage of main components in fuel handling machine, caused by high irradiation, the radiation dosage exerted to the components by neutron and gamma ray is measured independently during one time of the fuel exchange, which is used far estimating the radiation dosage for one year. This result can guarantee the safety and economical efficiency for determining the replacement time of the high cost main components in fuel handling machine.

The purpose of study were to research the characteristics of water variation adding humic acids to distilled water after ozonation. Upon investigating pH variation with contact time after providing distilled water+air, distilled water+ozone and distilled water-humic acid-air in reactor, it reduced after 60 minute in inletting air and in spite of short contact time did suddenly in inletting ozone. TOC and UV-254 continued to increase with contact time of ozone and humic acids. $NH^{4+}-N$ did slowly increase or decrease after constant contact time of ozone, because $NH^{4+}-N$ was converted into $No^3-N$ by ozone. T-N did suddenly increase after 90minute, but T-P did rarely fluctuate for total experiment. Total 30 species of organic matter were detected by GS/MSD, but 14 species did really tend to increase except for matter identified in distilled water and blank test. Humic acids generated $aliphatic{\cdot}aromatic$ hydrocarbon, alcohol and amine etc., and did various matters without inflow course of contaminants.
