This paper focuses on the application of two dimensional orthogonal polynomials in the regression analysis for the relationship of product parameters viz. compressive strength, bulk density and water absorption of fly ash cement bricks with other process parameters such as percentages of fly ash, sand and cement. The method has been validated by linear and non-linear two parameter regression models. The use of two dimensional orthogonal system makes the analysis computationally efficient, simple and straight forward. Corresponding co-efficient of determination and F-test are also reported to show the efficacy and reliability of the relationships. By applying the evolved relationships, the product parameters of fly ash cement bricks may be approximated for the use in construction sectors.

A study on the fine structure of the marine diatoms has been carried out for taxonomical purpose during the periods from September 1983 to March 1987 in Korean coastal waters. Fine structure of smallThalassiosira(Bacillariophyceae) was studied by means of light microscope and scanning electron nisroscopy. Secondarily, six species of Thalassiosira were identified and described. Of these Thalassiosia allenii, T. binata and T. conferta were new records for Korean coastal waters. Thalassiosira aestivalis, T.allenii, T.binata, T.conferta, and T. pacifica have a valve with a single labiate process and one central and one marginal ring of strutted processes, but T.rotula has many central strutted processes close together instead of one central strutted process.

Enzymatic syntheses of water soluble Bakuchiol glycosides were carried out in di-isopropyl ether organic media using amyloglucosidase from Rhizopus mold. The reactions were carried out under conventional reflux conditions and in supercritical $CO_2$ atmospheric conditions. Out of the eleven carbohydrate molecules employed for the reaction, D-glucose, D-ribose and D-arabinose gave glycosides in yields of 9.0% to 51.4% under conventional reflux conditions. Under supercritical $CO_2$ atmosphere (100 bar pressure at 50 ${^{\circ}C}$), bakuchiol formed glycosides with Dglucose, D-galactose, D-mannose, D-fructose, D-ribose, D-arabinose, D-sorbitol and D-mannitol in yields ranging from 9% to 46.6%. Out of the bakuchiol glycosides prepared, 6-O-(6-D-fructofruranosyl)bakuchiol showed the best antioxidant (1.4 mM) and ACE inhibitory activities (0.64 mM).

A series of chiral prolinamide compounds with pyridine-2, 6-dicarboxylic acid moieties derived from L-proline have been designed and synthesized, their catalytic properties for direct asymmetric aldol reactions were also studied in this article. These catalysts gave the aldol product in high yield (87%) and high enantioselectivity, up to 85%, of the anti-structure at room temperature but gave disappointing results at a lower temperature or when additive was added. Conditions, including solvents, temperature and additives were screened for the reactions. Moreover, the influence of presence of water on yield and stereoselectivity was also discussed.

A rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivar of the SPP (stakeholder participatory program) and ordinary rice were characterized based on water-absorption properties and cooked rice texture. During rice soaking, the rice grain transformed from transparent to opaque (white), indicating that water molecules diffused into the rice grain during soaking. In addition, cracks in the internal structure of soaked rice gradually increased with an increase in soaking time. Water absorption increased rapidly up to 20 min, but no increment was observed after 30 min of soaking. At this point, the entire areas of the soaked rice grain turned white, indicating that water absorption had reached saturation. SPP rice showed lower hardness and higher stickiness in its cooked form than ordinary rice, suggesting that SPP rice could be a more preferable choice than ordinary rice. Furthermore, cooked SPP rice was more edible in terms of hardness and stickiness after being kept warm for 12 h than ordinary rice. These results indicated that cooked SPP rice exhibited slow retrogradation and improved taste.

The crest of the Pubugou central core rockfill dam (CCRD) cracked in the first and second impounding periods. To evaluate the safety of the Pubugou CCRD, an inversion analysis of the constitutive model parameters for rockfill materials is performed based on the in situ deformation monitoring data. The aim of this work is to truly reflect the deformation state of the Pubugou CCRD and determine the causes of the dam crest cracks. A novel real-coded genetic algorithm based upon the differences in gene fragments (DGFX) is proposed. It is used in combination with the radial based function neural network (RBFNN) to perform the parameters back analysis. The simulated settlements show good agreements with the monitoring data, illustrating that the back analysis is reasonable and accurate. Furthermore, the deformation gradient of the dam crest has been analysed. The dam crest has a great possibility of cracking due to the uncoordinated deformation, which agrees well with the field investigation. The deformation gradient decreases to the value lower than the critical one and reaches a stable state after the second full reservoir.

In this study, the regional states of 7 items are analyzed, the regional risks are calculated by using normalized data & analysis hierarchy process to set regional oil recovery capacity. Area on-water oil recovery capacity, $7,500k{\ell}$, is separated and regional on-water oil recovery capacity is determined, based on calculated regional degree of risk. Excessive current oil recovery capacities, setting in Incheon, Gunsan, Mokpo, Busan region, are as a result distributed to the other regions in each area. In case of central region, Daesan is increased as much as $1,475k{\ell}$, Yeosu is increased as much as $375k{\ell}$, Ulsan is increased as much as $475k{\ell}$. The regional on-water oil recovery capacity, considering both the cause of accident aspects and marine environmental & economic aspects, is estimated as more balanced distribution model, compared to current standard of on-water oil recovery capacity.

Background: Disinfection is essential to provide drinking water from a water source. The disinfection process mainly consists of the use of chlorine and ozone, but when chlorine is used as a disinfectant, the problem of disinfection by-products arises. In order to resolve the issue of disinfection by-products, electro-chlorination technology that produces chlorine-based disinfectants from salt water through electrochemical principles should be applied. Objectives: This study surveys the possibility of optimally producing active chlorine from synthetic NaCl solutions using an electro-chlorination system through RSM. Methods: Response surface methodology (RSM) has been used for modeling and optimizing a variety of water and wastewater treatment processes. This study surveys the possibility of optimally producing active chlorine from synthetic saline solutions using electrolysis through RSM. Various operating parameters, such as distance of electrodes, sodium chloride concentration, electrical potential, and electrolysis time were evaluated. Results: Various operating parameters, such as distance of electrodes, sodium chloride concentration, electrical potential, and electrolysis time were evaluated. A central composite design (CCD) was applied to determine the optimal experimental factors for chlorine production. Conclusions: The concentration of the synthetic NaCl solution and the distance between electrodes had the greatest influence on the generation of hypochlorite disinfectant. The closer the distance between the electrodes and the higher the concentration of the synthetic NaCl solution, the more hypochlorous acid disinfectant was produced.

The aim of this study was to develop an activator, 3-10 kDa fraction from radish water extracts, that will improve the intestinal function and bowel movement in the colons. Radish water extracts were investigated for their intestinal function effects according to the charcoal meal transit method, employing Balb/c mice: also, their anti-constipation activities were compared utilizing the loperamide-induced constipation method, employing SD rats. The result suggested that the effects of the charcoal meal transit increased remarkably in radish water extract administrated rats in comparison to loperamide administrated rats. Futhermore, the effects of various solvent extracts of radish on charcoal meal transit in Balb/c mice increased remarkably in radish water fraction administrated rats than in different solvent fraction administrated rats. Radish extraction was tested and isolated into 4 groups: below 3 kDa, 3-10 kDa, 10-300 kDa, and over 300 kDa. 3-10 kDa was the most effective on the intestinal function and bowel movement in the colons; also, 3-10 kDa fraction of radish water extraction was found to be the most effective charcoal meal transit. The dry weight and moisture content of feces remarkedly increased in the 3-10 kDa administrated rats group than in the loperamide only group. Experimental results revealed that 3-10 kDa fraction of radish water extract was the most effective on the intestinal function and bowel movement was the crypt epithelial cells that contained more MUC2 in the 3-10 kDa administrated group than the loperamide only group: in addition, the thickness of mucus layer stained with alcian blue was significantly thicker in 3-10 kDa administrated rats than in loperamide administrated rats. Crypt epithelial cells secreted more MUC2 in the 3-10 kDa administrated group than the loperamide only group and the stained cells clearly showed the MUC2 with antibody Biogenex AM358.
