  • In this paper, the development history of random packings for several generations was briefly introduced. We demonstrate the application of 3D printing to the fabrication of Pall rings, directly using computer aided design (CAD) models. The CAD was used to design Pall rings with different number of blades. The models were then printed by using UV curing of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) resins. The results show that 3D printing is a promising method for producing precisely controlled packing materials. It is also expected that 3D printing is helpful for the fundamental studies of highly efficient packing materials with complex geometrical shapes.

  • In order to determine the position and the content of fatty acids sttached to glycerides and the migration degree of fatty acids in the migration reaction, fish oil was hydroyzed with lipolase-100T which was derived from Aspergillus oryzae. The content of fatty acids in the glyceride mixture was analyzed and compared with that of fish oil. The amounts of fatty acid in a 2-position and the migration degree of the fatty acid in 2,3-DG (diglyceride) and 2-MG (monolyceride) were carefully calculated. The results showed that approximately 95% (w/w) of DHA (docosahexanoic acid) and 65% of EPA(eicosapentaenoic acid) were attached to the 2-position of glycerides in fish oil. Approximately 87% (w/w) of DHA and 75% of EPA remained in 2,3-DG, and 88% of DHA and 65% of EPA in 2-MG were not involved in the migration reaction.

  • Silver materials may be toxic in humans because they can enter the body and accumulate, typically in the lungs. We hypothesized that the cytotoxicity of naive silver materials is affected by their size and shape. Our in vitro assays revealed that the overall toxicity was in the following order: submicro-particles>wires>micro-particles. These results contrast with previous studies, which showed that silver wires are the most toxic among the three tested materials, possibly due to differences in cell lines. Evaluations of in vivo pulmonary toxicity revealed eryptosis in the cavity lining of the lung sections. The observed eryptosis was consistent with the in vitro results. Our results indicate that silver materialinduced cytotoxicity must be measured and compared using various methods.

  • Listeria monocytogenes is a high-risk foodborne pathogen responsible for foodborne listeriosis outbreaks, and is particularly dangerous to immuno-compromised people with mortality rate of about 30%. This review summarizes subtyping of L. monocytogenes using Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis, widely used to trace origin of foodborne outbreaks and to determine relationship between isolates.

  • We have developed a microprogramir!able signal processor for real-time ultrasonic signal processing. Processing speed was increased by the parallelism in horizontal microprogram using 104bits microcode and the Pipelined architecture. Control unit of the signal processor was designed by microprogrammed architec- ture and writable control store (WCS) which was interfaced with host computer, APPLE- ll . This enables the processor to develop and simulate various digital signal processing algorithms. The performance of the processor was evaluated by the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) program. The execution time to perform 16 bit 1024 points complex FF7, radix-2 DIT algorithm, was about 175 msec with IMHz master Clock. We can use this processor to Bevelop more efficient signal processing algorithms on the biological signal processing.

  • In Visually Evoked Potentials(VEP) or Auditory Evoked Potentials(AEP), the components by the stimulation and the components which are irrelevant to the stimulation(noise or nonstationary spontaneous EEG) are mixed together. So one should average hundreds of EP waves to extract the components by the stimulation only. In this study, we have classified EP's, which are the responses of the different stimulations and different states of subjects. To classify the EP waves, the cross-correlation coefficients and neural network method(error back propagation) are used and compared.

  • Analysis of Heart Rate Variability has been studied to estimate autonomic nervous system. PR interval represents conduction time from atrium to ventricle. PR interval variability(PRV) is also can be used to estimate autonomic nervous system. We have acquired two-state ECGs of children who are before vagal stimulation and after vagal stimulation. We applied chaotic theory to each ECG in order to analyze PRV, and compared the results from frequency domain analysis. The correlation dimension of PRV of pre-stimulated children is higher than that of post-stimulated children.

  • The study aimed to review linerboard compositions of corrugated fiberboard boxes for Oriental melons(Cucumis melon L. var makuwa), analyzing relationships among material compositions, price, weight of boxes, theoretical compression and bursting strength of various liner boards. 19 and 22 different liner boards were currently used for the bleached and the unbleached corrugated boards, respectively. The corrugated board containers with the bleached liners were mostly used in the market although the average price was 10 percents higher than the unbleached. The average compression strength of the bleached. We strongly recommend to redesign the boxes because the average compression and bursting strength of the current boxes were much higher than national packaging standards as much as 70 and 82, respectively.
