In previous studies, we performed joint animal studies and clinical trials between Yonsei University and Oryza Oil & Fat Chemical Co. Ltd. We have shown that coffee bean extract has potent anti-obesity and hypotriglyceridemic activities as well as beneficial effects on body fat reduction.In this study, the effects of coffee bean extract (100 mg/capsule) on body fat reduction were evaluated in overweight/obese women (body mass index of 25~30 $kg/m^2$ or body fat > 30%) not diagnosed with any type of disease. Subjects were randomly assigned to a coffee bean extract group (n=10) or placebo group (n=10). We measured anthropometric parameters, abdominal fat distribution by computed tomography and blood components before and after the 8week intervention period. After supplementation, the coffee bean extract group showed body weight (p=0.08), body mass index (p=0.06), hip circumference (p<0.05), and upper waist circumference (p< 0.01). In addition, after 8 weeks, the coffee bean extract group showed a significant decrease in abdominal internal fat area compared to 0 weeks (0 weeks : $155.8cm^2$; 8 weeks : $145.9cm^2$, ${\Delta}$ change : $-9.9cm^2$, respectively). However, there were no significant differences in lipid profiles or serological measurements between the coffee bean extract group and placebo group. The results of our human study demonstrated that coffee bean extract supplementation for 8 weeks has beneficial effects on reducing abdominal internal fat area as well as hip and waist circumferences.

본 연구에서는 현재 생활계 폐기물로 폐기되는 커피 캡슐의 재질분리 공정 개발을 통해 폐플라스틱의 재활용 가능성을 평가하였다. 1차 파쇄, 세척 및 체질을 통해 커피찌꺼기를 제거하고 2차 파쇄 후, 총 3번의 코로나 방전형 정전선별을 수행하는 재질분리 공정이 개발되었다. 이때, -10 mm 시료는 최적조건에서 알루미늄 제거율과 플라스틱 회수율이 각각 95.4%와 98.3% 이었으며, -15 mm는 각각 91.3%와 97.2% 이었다. 재질분리 된 폐플라스틱의 재활용 가능성을 평가하기 위하여, 시료를 펠릿으로 제조하고 물성을 분석하였다. 분석결과, 유해물질은 검출되지 않았으며, Homo-PP와 유사한 결과를 보였다. 따라서 재생 PP로 충분한 기능성이 존재하는 것을 확인하였다. 다만, 어두운 색상으로 인해 검정 혹은 어두운 계열의 제품군에 한정적으로 적용 가능할 것으로 평가되었다.

Electromagnetic measurements of the power cable tunnel were conducted from August 10 to 20, 2018, in the ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$ city underground utility tunnel. During this period, the average temperature was $31.89^{\circ}C$ and the humidity was 67.56% in power cable tunnel. As a result of the electromagnetic measurement, the highest electric field was 25.3 V/m and the magnetic flux density was $42.6{\mu}T$. The average electric field was 18.56 V/m and the magnetic flux density was $29.32{\mu}T$ in the power cable tunnel. As a result of comparison with the electric equipment technical standard, the electric field in the power cable tunnel was 0.5% of the electric equipment standard and 35.2% of the magnetic flux density. It's similar value that electric field is about robotic vacuum(15.53 V/m), and magnetic flux density is similar value about capsule- type coffee machine ($23.07{\mu}T$). The number of cable lines and the size of the electromagnetic waves were not proportional to each other through comparison of cable lines in the power cable tunnel. It was confirmed that 154 kV, rather than 22.9 kV, could have a greater influence on occupational.
