The texturization properties of extrudate from isolated soybean protein and rice flour by extrusion cooking were investigated. The addition of up to 30% rice flur to isolated soy proetin could give more tenderness to the texturized extrudate. As the rice flour content increased, die temperature, nitrogen solubility index, and integrity index were decreased slightly with lower chewiness and gumminess. The water content of final extrudate was increased as the addition of rice flour increased, while density was maintained without variation, and rehydration ratio was decreased. The distribution of pressure profile during extrusion were in the range of $15-100kg/cm^3$. As the addition of rice flour increased, scanning electron micrographs demonstrated the gelatinized surface structure of rice starch and the increased air cell size of the testurized extrudate.

Overconsumption of fructose results in dyslipidemia, hypertension, which have documented as a risk of cardiovascular diseases. This experimental study was designed to investigate the beneficial effects of Rubus coreanus Miq.(RCM) in high-fructose diet-induced metabolic syndrome. Animals were divided into three groups; Control group fed regular diet and tap water, fructose groups were fed the 65% high-fructose (HF) diet with/without RCM 100 mg/kg/day for 8 weeks, respectively. Chronic treatment with RCM significantly decreased body weight, fat weight and adipocyte size. Moreover, RCM significantly prevented the development of the metabolic disturbances such as hyperlipidemia and hypertension. RCM also led to increase in high density lipoprotein level in the HF group. In addition, RCM suppressed vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) expression and significantly recovered the levels of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) expression in aorta. These results demonstrates that RCM may be a beneficial therapeutic for metabolic syndrome through the improvement of hyperlipidemia, obesity, and hypertension.

As an approach to high-efficiency of SOFC system, SOFC/GT Hybrid system is effective. However, if the output size of the system belongs to the marine class of dozens MWs, the introduction of the cooling system of GT system, which is used as sub-system, makes its related devices complicated and also makes its control difficult. Accordingly, for the marine use, SOFC/GT (non-cooling)Hybrid system looks more suitable than SOFC/GT(cooling)Hybrid system. This study established the SOFC/GT (non-cooling)Hybrid system, and examined the operating temperature & current density of the stack for the system, pressure ratio of the gas turbine, the influence of TIT(Turbine Inlet Temperature) on system performance, etc. through the simulation process. Through this research process, this study was able to confirm that electrical efficiency rises in spite of the increase in the required power for the air compressor, and there exists a limited range of temperatures for operation in TIT.

This study is to find out how organic solvent will be propagated from painting inside the steel box girder of bridge. $2.9m{\times}3.0m$ of inside size of steel box girder is not suitable for painters to do his work comfortably and hygienically. Substance density(ppm)inside the space of the box unsatisfactory hygienical condition. Most of organic solvent(mainly toluene) came down to 0.5m in two minutes and 53sec. But personal protection for painter should be properly kept against flying this heavy organic solvent. longitudinally 27.1m in length is a cell unit of the whole length of bridge. Model XP-3l6A made in Japan is a main instrumentation adjusted to sense organic solvent especially toluene which can be measured up to 10,000ppm. Scenario analysis by computer program, safer release 2.0 has been performed first to estimate how the organic solvent will be propagated. And then actual test was done as a model. This has been measured for approximately five(5) minutes, with 30 sec interval. Actual measurement results showed much higher $10{\sim}20%$ than result analyzed by the computer program, meaning that this painting work can give worse effect to the worker who is painting inside the box girder of the bridge. The first meas urement level over the floor set up at 30cm height from the floor, because organic solvent was estimated to stay at the level. and then, they were measured at 1.0m, 1.5m level respectively, more.

Geospatial input setting to represent the reality of spatial distribution or quantitative property within model has become a major interest in earth system simulation. Many studies showed the variation of grid resolution could lead to drastic changes of spatial model results because of insufficient surface property estimations. Hence, in this paper, the authors proposed Monte Carlo Integration (MCI) to apply spatial probability (SP) in a spatial-sampling framework using a three-dimensional point cloud (3DPC) to keep the optimized spatial distribution and area/volume property of buildings in urban area. Three different decision rule based building identification results were compared : SP threshold, cell size, and 3DPC density. Results shows the identified building area property tend to increase according to the spatial sampling grid area enlargement. Hence, areal building property manipulation in the sampling frameworks by using decision rules is strongly recommended to increase reliability of geospatial modeling and analysis results. Proposed method will support the modeling needs to keep quantitative building properties in both finer and coarser grids.

In order to define the morphological changes of the secreting cells of prothoracic gland during larva-pupal molt, ultrastructural observations were carried out using Bombyx mori L. as the experimental material. At first stage of present experiment, 4 day old 5th instar larva, the polyhedral secreting cells were centrally located in the prothoracic gland surrounded by the connective sheath. The secreting cells were attached to the neighboring cells by the prominent desmosomes, and the plasma membrane contacted with connective sheath were highly infolded. In cytoplasm, the most of the cell organelles, such as rod-like mitochondria, rough surfaced endoplasmic reticulum, ribosome were developed. As the stages advance from larva to pupa, general feature of the secreting cells were retained, but structural changes of the various cytoplasmic organelles-ribosome, rough surfaced endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, lamellar body, and vesicle-were noted. In the perinuclear cytoplasm of the secreting cells at the stage of 6 day old 5th instar larva, it is peculiar that only a large amount of ribosomes were distributed and the other organelles were retreated from the juxtanuclear region. Just before and after spining cocoon, these features were more remarkable. Rough surfaced endoplasmic reticulum were gradually increased from the stage just before spining cocoon to the pharate pupa. Rod-like mitochondria with irregular cristae and the matrix showing low density were distributed throughout the cytoplasm in the secreting cells of the 4 day old 5th instar larva. Sometimes, longitudinally distended and curved mitochondria were observed. At the stage of pharate pupa, most of mitochondria were deformed. The rod-like mitochondria of the secreting cells of pupal prothoracic gland were narrower than those of 4 day old 5th instar larva, and the electron density of the mitochondrial matrix is increased in pupa. Golgi apparatus were a few in number in both stages, last instar larva and spining cocoon. In stages of the pharate pupa, the Golgi apparatus were frequently observed. Cytoplasmic vesicles were observed for the first time in the secreting cells of one day after spining cocoon, and the number and the size of cytoplasmic vesicles were distinctly increased inpharate pupa and just after pupation. In the secretory cells of the PG, it in concluded that the RER was closely related to syntheting the enzymes seem to produce the ecdysone.

Several chitosan beads were prepared by W/O emulsion and capillary extrusion methods. The surface structures were observed through SEM pictures, the surface areas were determined by BET method, the available amine contents were measured by picric acid titration method, and the results were correlated each other. The beads from W/O emulsion method were smaller in size but had higher hardness, surface area, and available amine contents than the ones from capillary extrusion method. Moreover, the surface area, available amine contents, apparent density and the hardness showed large differences according to the drying processes. As compared between the solvent dehydration and the freeze drying technique in W/O emulsion method, the former showed higher surface area, higher available amine contents and hardness than the latter. SEM pictures revealed that in case of solvent dehydration method, very small pores existed, whereas in case of freeze drying method, cell-like pores existed on the surface. The results of picric acid titration showed that the beads dried by solvent dehydration method were 10 times higher in amine contents than those from freeze drying method, and the amount of amine contents were increased as the surface area was increased. After fluorescamine was reacted with chitosan beads, the fluorescence labeled beads were observed through fluorescence microscope. The results showed that most of primary amine existed on the surface of beads and pores.
