Effects of the addition of single or blends of konjac flour (KF), carrageenan (CN), and soy protein isolate (SPI) into the sausage formulation were determined based on the physico-chemical and textural characteristics of low-fat comminuted sausage (LFS, fat <3%). LFSs had a pH range of 6.10 to 6.16, 77-79% moisture, <3% fat, and 13-15% protein contents, whereas regular-fat sausages (RFSs) had a pH value of 6.11, 62.5% moisture, 19.4% fat, and 11.9% protein. LFSs containing fat replacers were reduced (P<0.05) cooking loss (CL, %). KF alone or mixed with other hydrocolloids slightly improved the water-holding capacity, whereas CN increased (P<0.05) the gel strength, resulting in higher hardness values. Replacement of 6% lean meat with 1.5% SPI alone increased (P<0.05) yellowness (Hunter b value) and expressible moisture (EM, %). TPA values of KF+CN+SPI were the most similar to those of RFSs. These results indicated that triple addition of KF, CN and SPI at the ratio of 1 : 1 : 3 in LFS formulation improved functional properties, as compared to the low-fat control, and had textural characteristics most similar to those with RFSs.

In the process of star formation, the density and temperature of associated material, which are the physical conditions for the molecular chemistry, vary dramatically. As a result, the connection between physical and chemical conditions has been used to trace the evolutionary stages in star formation. One chemical tracer for the physical conditions in star forming material is the [HCN]/[HNC] abundance ratio since the ratio strongly depends on the kinetic temperature in molecular clouds. Here we investigate the [HCN]/[HNC] abundance ratios in objects related to the massive star formation. For the investigation, we carried out $H^{13}CN$ and $HN^{13}C$ line observation toward objects in three different evolutionary stages of massive star formation: Infrared dark clouds (IRDCs), High-mass protostellar object (HMPOs), and Ultra-compact HII regions (UCHIIs). According to our observational results, both $H^{13}CN$ and $HN^{13}C$ lines have been detected toward 19 IRDCs, 25 HMPOs, and 31 UCHIIs. We will discuss about the [HCN]/[HNC] abundance ratios in different evolutionary stages of massive star formation and associate the results with the physical conditions of the targets.

Importance: The portal vein to aorta (PV/Ao) ratio is used to assess the clinical significance of extrahepatic portosystemic shunt (EHPSS). Previous studies using computed tomography (CT) were conducted in dogs but not in cats. Objective: This study aimed to establish normal reference values for PV indices (PV/Ao ratio and PV diameter) in cats and determine the usefulness of these for predicting symptomatic EHPSS. Methods: This study included 95 dogs and 114 cats that underwent abdominal CT. The canine normal (CN) group included dogs without EHPSS. The cats were classified into feline normal (FN, 88/114), feline asymptomatic (FA, 16/114), and feline symptomatic (FS, 10/114) groups. The PV and Ao diameters were measured in axial cross-sections. Results: The group FN had a higher PV/Ao ratio than the group CN (p < 0.001). Within the feline groups, the PV indices were in the order FN > FA > FS (both p < 0.001). The mean PV diameter and PV/Ao ratio for group FN were 5.23±0.77 mm and 1.46±0.19, respectively. The cutoff values between groups FN and FS were 4.115 mm for PV diameter (sensitivity, 100%; specificity, 97.7%) and 1.170 for PV/Ao ratio (90%, 92.1%). The cutoff values between group FA and FS were 3.835 mm (90%, 93.8%) and 1.010 (70%, 100%), respectively. Conclusions and Relevance: The results demonstrated significant differences in PV indices between dogs and cats. In cats, the PV/Ao ratio demonstrated high diagnostic performance for symptomatic EHPSS. The PV diameter also performed well, in contrast to dogs.

The aim of the present study was to get a total physical and chemical characterization and comparison of the principal components in Bangladeshi buffalo (B), Holstein cross (HX), Indigenous cattle (IC) and Red Chittagong Cattle (RCC) milk. Protein and casein (CN) composition and type, casein micellar size (CMS), naturally occurring peptides, free amino acids, fat, milk fat globule size (MFGS), fatty acid composition, carbohydrates, total and individual minerals were analyzed. These components are related to technological and nutritional properties of milk. Consequently, they are important for the dairy industry and in the animal feeding and breeding strategies. Considerable variation in most of the principal components of milk were observed among the animals. The milk of RCC and IC contained higher protein, CN, ${\beta}$-CN, whey protein, lactose, total mineral and P. They were more or less similar in most of the all other components. The B milk was found higher in CN number, in the content of ${\alpha}_{s2}-$, ${\kappa}$-CN and ${\beta}$-lactalbumin, free amino acids, unsaturated fatty acids, Ca and Ca:P. The B milk was also lower in ${\beta}$-lactoglobulin content and had the largest CMS and MFGS. Proportion of CN to whey protein was lower in HX milk and this milk was found higher in ${\beta}$-lactoglobulin and naturally occuring peptides. Considering the results obtained including the ratio of ${\alpha}_{s1}-$, ${\alpha}_{s2}-$, ${\beta}$- and ${\kappa}$-CN, B and RCC milk showed best data both from nutritional and technological aspects.

Aerosol number concentration ($N_{CN}$), size distribution and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) concentration ($N_{CCN}$) were measured during 16-21 August 2008 at Daegwallyeong (DG) located in the eastern rural region of the Korean Peninsula. In the very next week (22-29 August 2008) the same aerosol properties were measured at Yeongjong Island (YJ) in the Yellow Sea. $N_{CN}$ for all 3 size cuts (above 3, 6 and 10 nm) was significantly higher at DG than YJ, but $N_{CCN}$ was significantly lower at the former and resulted in the $N_{CCN}/N_{CN}$ ratio more than twice higher at YJ ($0.94{\pm}0.09$ vs. $0.35{\pm}0.15$ at 0.53% supersaturation). The geometric mean diameter at DG, $53{\pm}15nm$, was much smaller than that at YJ, $91{\pm}6nm$, due to the particle formation events that were likely to have occurred continuously at DG. For given mean diameter, aerosols were more likely to act as CCN at YG compared to those at DG.

This study used SCS-CN method to estimate the real recharge of the study area which is one of the most reasonable techniques to estimate groundwater recharge when there is no available runoff data in a watershed. From the results of tile real recharge analysis for the study area using SCS-CN method, it was analyzed that the year 1994 when the drought was severe shotted the lowest recharge of 106.3mm with recharge rate of 12.4%, and the highest recharge of 285.6mm with recharge rate of 21.8% occurred in 1990. Yearly average recharge of 213.2mm was obtained, and tile average recharge rate was 16.9%/year. KOG-FLOW model which has powerful post process functions consists of setting environments for input parameters in Korean language, and help function is added to each input data. Detailed information for each parameter is displayed when the icon is placed on the input parameters, and geologic boundaries or initial head data for each layer can be set easily on work sheet. The relative errors (R. E.) for each model's observed values and calculated values are $0.156{\sim}0.432$ in case of KOG-FLOW, and $0.451{\sim}1.175$ in case of WINFLOW, therefore it is known that KOG-FLOW model developed in this study produced results compared to observed head values.

Airborne in-situ measurements of aerosol/cloud number concentrations were analyzed to investigate the effects of aerosols on warm cloud formation in the Pacific Dust Experiment (PACDEX) during April and May 2007. In the air masses originating from the Asian continent, high concentrations of fine particles including black carbon (BC) were observed when compared to other regions. A strong correlation (r=0.88) between condensation nuclei (CN) having sizes ranging from 0.1 to 1.0 mm ($CN_{0.1-1.0}$) and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) at 0.4% supersaturation ($CCN_{0.4%}$) suggests that most of the $CN_{0.1-1.0}$ can contribute to cloud formation. The possibility of a cloud droplet formation by BC particles was expected at the high water vapor mixing ratio (WVMR) and the abundance of water-soluble components at the low altitude less than 3 km.

The recovery of gold in cyclone type electrolytic cell was conducted from solution for stripping gold of PCB by cyanide. The electrolytic recovery behaviors of gold was investigated by reaction time and addition of electrolytic sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and gold plating additive (KG-120). Because the electrolysis generated NaOCl reacted with the cyanide in the leachate by alkaline chlorination, more than 99% of the cyanide was removed at a $NaOCl(g)/CN^-(g)$ ratio of 1.0. When NaOCl was added during the recovery of the gold from cyanide leachate in the cyclone electrolytic cell, the recovery of gold was 98% at the ratio of $NaOCl(g)/CN^-(g)$ from 0.5 to 2.5 in 480 minutes and decreased rapidly over the ratio of 3.0. Gold was recovered more than 99% by adding 1.5 and 4.5%(v/v) of KG-120 with NaOCl in 480 minutes. In particular, when the concentration of KG-120 was 3.5 and 4.5%(v/v), more than 96% of gold was recovered within 240 minutes and the initial recovery rate was relatively faster. The optimum concentration of KG-120 is 3.5%(v/v) considering the economic feasibility and efficiency.

The objective of this study was to assess the association of polymorphisms in ${\kappa}$-cn, ${\beta}$-lg, ${\beta}$-lg 5′ flanking region, CSN1S2, and IGFBP-3 genes with milk production traits and mastitis-related traits in Chinese Holstein. Traits analyzed were 305 day standard milk yield, protein percentage, fat percentage, the ratio of fat percentage and protein percentage, pre-somatic cell count, somatic cell count, and somatic cell score, respectively. CSN1S2 locus was uninformative because only one genotype BB was found in Chinese Holstein. Allele frequencies of A and B in IGFBP-3 gene were 0.5738 and 0.4262 in Chinese Holstein population, which was different from reported Qinchuan cattle population. The genotypes of animals at IGFBP-3 locus significantly affected 305 day standard milk yield, protein percentage, and somatic cell score. The ${\beta}$-lg genotypes had a significant effect on protein percentage and the ratio of fat percentage and protein percentage. Polymorphism in ${\beta}$-lg 5′ flanking region was associated with 305 day standard milk yield, protein percentage, fat percentage, pre-somatic cell count, and somatic cell count. No significant associations of the polymorphism in ${\kappa}$-cn gene were observed for any trait.

본 연구에서는 에폭시/산무수물계에 화학양론비(r=산무수물/에폭시)를 0.5, 0.7,0.9,1.1로 변화시켜 서로 다른 두종류의 경화촉진제 1-cyanoethy1-2-ethy1-4-methy1 imidazole(2E4MZ-CN)과 N,N-dimethy1 benzy1 amine(BDMZ)을 첨가한 시료에 대한 경화거동과 경화 후 물성을 관찰하였다. 이 시료의 등온 경화거동은 동역학 측정기(dynamic mechanical analyzer, DMA)와 시차주사 열량분석기(differential scanning calorimeter, DSC)를 이용하여 조사하였다. DMA로부터 구해진 결과를 보면 경화시 상대저장강성을 (relative storage rigidity, RSR)과 상대손실강성율(relative loss rigidity, RSR)과 상대손실강성율(relative loss rigidity, RLR)의 변화가 r값과 경화촉진제의 종류에 영향을 받았다. 그리고 DSC결과는 r값이 감소함에 따라 경화가 촉진되는 것으로 나타났다. 경화물의 성질을 조사하기 위하여 사용된 DMA로부터 얻어진 유리전이온도(glass transition temperature, T$_{g}$)와 가교결합간의 평균분자량(average molecular weigh between crosslinks, M$_{c}$은 사용한 두 경화촉진제에 대하여 r값의 영향이 다르게 나타났다. BDMA의 경우는 T$_{g}$가 1:1화학양론비인 r=0.9에서 최고치를 보였으나, 2E4MZ-CN은 r이 감소함에 따라 계속 증가하는 양상을 보였다. 이와 같은 경향은 2E4MZ-CN을 경화촉진제로 사용하였을 때 에폭시가 과량으로 될수록 잔류 에폭시기들간의 에케르반응이 추가적으로 일어나 M$_{c}$가 감소하기 때문이다.
