PCC (precipitated calcium carbonate) and ground calcium carbonate have been widely used in alkaline papermaking. Unfortunately, although increasing filler level in papers can improve the paper properties such as brightness, opacity, stiffness gloss, smoothness, porosity, and printability, as well as decrease cost, some strength of the paper is negatively affected. In this research, needle-like aragonite was synthesized using $Ca(OH)_2$ and $CO_2$ as reactants in the presence of $MgCl_2$ and characterized with scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The physical and optical properties of the paper handsheets containing these needle-like aragonite fillers were evaluated. Results indicated that tensile strength, Z-direction tensile strength and folding endurance of the paper were improved by the needle-like aragonite crystals compared to the paper using commercial PCC (precipitated calcium carbonate) as filler. The stiffness of the paper handsheet on the machine direction was increased, but no evident difference in the cross direction was found. The improvement of paper strength mainly resulted from the twining effect between the aragonite whiskers and paper fibers. The optical properties of the paper were slightly decreased with the use of the needle-like aragonites compared to commercial PCC. These results suggest that paper cost can be decreased by increasing the content of needle-like aragonite filler while paper strength will not be decreased compared to PCC filler.

We evaluated a worm-based extruded pellet diet with black soldier fly Hermetia illucens larvae (BSF) meal and BSF oil for olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus through field feeding experiments at a commercial aquafarm. We prepared two experimental diets by replacing fish meal and fish oil with BSF meal and BSF oil (BEP-1, BSF meal 7%, BSF oil 1%) and (BEP-2, BSF oil 2%), respectively. We prepared raw-fish based moist pellets (MP) for comparison between the two experimental diets. We distributed the olive flounder (220±6.29 g) in square (10 m×10 m×1 m) concrete, 100 ton tanks at a density of 1,600 fish per tank (n=3) in triplicate for each dietary treatment. We fed the diets to the fish to apparent satiation for 7 months. At the end of the feeding trial, we found no substantial differences between the groups in terms of growth performance, survival, or feed utilization. None of the diet groups showed any changes in either hematological or non-specific immune responses. The histological observation of the intestine showed that the goblet cell number and cholecystokinin-producing cell activity increased in the fish fed the BEP diet compared with the those of the fish fed the MP diet. These results indicated that dietary BSF meal and oil can be used for olive flounder without compromising growth or, hematological and histological parameters.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of soybean oil and salt on the mechanical texture and sensory characteristics of Dongbu-Mook (Cowpea Starch Gel). As the amount of the soybean oil was increased, the hardness and chewiness of the Mook were decreased. But there were no significant difference in the cohesiveness and springiness. While the Mook samples made with commercial Dongbu-Mook flour didn't show a significant difference, those made with lab-manufactured Dongbu-Mook flour without salt showed higher hardness, chewiness than the ones with salt. The Mook made of commercial Dongbu-Mook flour was found to be higher in the hardness and lower in the cohesiveness than the one made of lab-manufactured Dongbu-Mook flour. In sensory evaluation, as the amount of soybean oil was increased, all the samples showed higher yellowness and greasiness, and lower clarity, hardness and chewiness. For the samples with salt, the yellowness was high, and the hardness was low. The Mook samples made with lab-manufactured Dongbu-Mook flour had low chewiness. There was no significant difference in the clarity and greasiness. Overall, the Mook samples made with commercial Dongbu-Mook flour showed the best quality, when soybean oil was not added and salt was added. For the Mook made with lab-manufactured Dongbu-Mook flour, the sample with 2% oil and salt was the best.

Since there have been no method which can applicable to the screening of commercial sesame oil adulterated with other vegetable oils, the present investigation was carried out particularily focusing on the the pattern of IN absorption of sesame oil and other vegetable oils. For this, a variety of oil samples prepared by the conventional method from sesame seeds, perilla seeds, com, soybean, and rice bran were analyzed by IN spectrophotometer. IN spectra of sesame oil and oil of unheated sesame seeds showed absorption peaks at 215, 230 and 290 nm. While UV spectra of com oil, perilla oil and soybean oil all showed absorption peaks at 215, 230 and 280 nm, that of rice bran oill showed peaks at 215, 290 320 nm. When sesame oil was mixed with com oil, perilla oil or soybean oil, respectively, from which the absorbance of peaks at 290 nm were lower than pure sesame oil. The peak at 320 nm which was typical absorption peak of rice bran oil was still observed in the spectnun of mixture of sesame oil with rice bran oil.

This study was conducted to investigate the influence of dietary mugwort and fish oil on meat quality of chicken. Broilers were randomly assigned to one of four dietary treatment: 1) Control (commercial feed) 2) T1 (commercial feed supplemented with 3% mugwort powder) 3) T2 (commercial feed with 4% fish oil) and 4) T3 (commercial feed with 3% mugwort powder and 4% fish oil). They were fed the experimental diets for five weeks and slaughtered. After that, the meat samples were vacuum packaged and stored at $4{\pm}1^{\circ}C$. The meat quality were analyzed for meat samples stored over a period of 0, 5, 10 and 15 days. The major fatty acids found in chicken meat were oleic acid, palmitic acid, linoleic acid, stearic acid. However, the fatty acid was not significantly different between control and treatment groups (p>0.05). Palmitoleic acid, EPA, DHA contents were higher in T3 treatment group than the control. The TBARS (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) of all treatments significantly increased during the storage periods (p<0.05). The TBARS of the thigh was rather higher than that of the breast. The WHC (water holding capacity) of breast and thigh were significantly increased in both control and treatment groups during storage (p<0.05). WHC of the breast was rather higher than that of the thigh. The drip loss was tended to increase during the storage periods (p<0.05).

Several lipases of commercial grade were screened to catalyze the methanolysis of castor oil, and an immobilized Candida antarctica (Novozym 435) had the highest activity among the lipases tested. To enhance the yield of methyl ricinoleate, several reaction parameters were optimized. The optimum temperature was $50^{\circ}C$, and the original water content of lipase was sufficient to maintain the activity of lipase, and additional water supplied inhibited the methanolysis of castor oil. Because the lipase was deactivated by methanol, the reaction was tested by three-step addition of 1 molar equivalent of methanol to the oil. However, the oil was not completely converted to its methyl esters. The final reaction mixture using 3 molar equivalents of methanol to the oil consisted of $70\%$ methyl ricinoleate, $18\%$ monoricinoleate, $11\%$ diricinoleate, and trace triricinoleate at the equilibrium state. The yield of methyl ricinoleate was $97\%$ at 6 molar ratio of methanol to the oil with 300g of castor oil and 6g of immobilized Candida antarctica at $50^{\circ}C$ within 24 h.

Now a days Automobiles are becoming more important in our life, the study on piston of engine is needed because, piston's cooling and lubrication of piston have an effect on the life and efficiency of engine directly. So, this study is about nozzle part of oil jet for cooling piston in the automotive engine. Piston exposes combustion gas of over $2000^{\circ}C$ and is shocked high pressure at the time of explosion shortly. Furthermore strong friction occurs by high speed rotation. The cooling system is considered from oil jet to piston. The previous system cooled the lower part of piston only. So, efficiency was low. To improve this system, make the oil gallery in the piston, and oil flows into the gallery. The value of oil flow rate into the gallery is important. Consequently, the point of this study is the research of investigation of flow characteristics for variable Re number. This study has been modelled by a commercial CFD code FLUENT, allowing to assess its validity

Upgrading of pyrolysis wax oil using HZSM-5 catalyst has been conducted in a continuous fixed bed reactor at $450^{\circ}C$, 1hour, LHSV 3.5/h. The catalytic degradation was studied with a function of catalyst amount and reaction temperature. The raw pyrolysis wax oil shows relatively high boiling point distribution ranging from around $300^{\circ}C$ to $550^{\circ}C$, which has considerably higher boiling point distribution than that of commercial diesel. The catalytic degradation using HZSM-5 catalyst shows the high conversion of pyrolysis wax oil to light hydrocarbons. The liquid product obtained shows high gasoline range fraction as around 90% fraction and considerably high aromatic fraction in liquid product. Here, the experimental variable such as catalyst amount and reaction temperature was influenced on the product distribution.

This study was carried out to determine the composition of fatty acids from the samples such as Korean and Chinese sesame oils and adulterated sesame oils with commercial edible oils including soybean and corn oils collected in Gyeongnam area. The fatty acid composition of sesame oils extracted from commercial Korean and Chinese sesame showed similar pattern except the result that Korean sesame oils contained lower levels of palmitic acid, stearic acid and higher level of linolenic acid than Chinese sesame oils. In adulterated sesame oils with commercial soybean oil, the composition of linolenic acid was increased 0.73$\pm$0.05%, 1.25$\pm$0.04% by adding of commercial soybean oil, 3%, 9%, respectively. And that of the linoleic acid was 50.22$\pm$0.06%, 51.14$\pm$0.05% by 5%, 9% addition of commercial corn oil, respectively. From these results, sesame oils and adulterated sesame oils with commercial edible oils will be verified by the composition analysis of fatty acids.
