To investigate effects of the surface finishing methods (A : conventional press stone, B : enclosing in polyethylene (PE) bag, C : press-tone wrapped with PE film and D : covered with Chinese cabbage leaves 4cm in thickness on Kimchi) on Kimchi quality, pH-values, redness, film forming yeast growth, hardness and sensory quality of Kimchi during storage (for 60 days, at $10{\pm}5^{\circ}C$) in glass vessel $(11{\times}30cm)$ were investigated. pH of the top layer of A, C and D sample were higher than the optimum pH (4.2) of Kimchi, film forming yeast occurred on the surface of Kimchi, color of top layer Kimchi juice was darkened, and panel score of freshness and firmness was significantly worse (p<0.01) than that of sample B. However, in the case of Kimchi stored in PE bag (B), film forming yeast were can't detected visually in the surface of Kimchi, pH values were low as good quality Kimchi, freshness and firmness panel scores and hardness were significantly better (p<0.01) than A, C and D, and redness of juice of top layer of B was also preserved clearly for 60 days. Accordingly among the four surface finishing methods, the B-method was most effective in preserving of y of Kimchi.

Rates and equilibriurn of complex formation between $Ni^{2+}$ and D-penicillamine have been investigated in aqueous solutions. Kinetic study on the complex formation were performed in the pH range of 8∼9 by the use of pressure-jump technique. D-Penicillamine coordinates to the nickel(II) ion utilizing sulfur and nitrogen as donor atoms in the high pH condition (pH 9.2). However, in the pH range of 8.25∼9.07, the stepwise stability constant becomes drastically reduced and the undissociated mercapto group does not participate in bonding. The rate-determining step of the complexation reaction is found to be the release of a water molecule from the inner-coordination sphere of $Ni^{2+}$ ion.

Purpose : To establish a pH measurement system for a mouse tumor study using a clinical scanner, to develop the $^1H$ and 31P radio frequency (RF) coil system and to test pH accuracy with phantoms. Materials and Methods: The $^1H$ and the $^{31}P$ surface coils were designed to acquire signals from mouse tumors. Two coils were positioned orthogonally for geometric decoupling. The pH values of various pH phantoms were calculated using the $^1H$ decoupled $^{31}P$ MR spectrum with the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. The calculated pH value was compared to that of a pH meter. Results: The mutual coil coupling was shown in a standard $S_{12}$. Coil coupling ($S_{12}$) were -73.0 and -62.3 dB respectively. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) obtained from the homogeneous phantom $^1H$ image was greater than 300. The high resolution in vivo mice images were acquired using a $^{31}P$-decoupled $^1H$ coil. The pH values calculated from the $^1H$-decoupled $^{31}P$ spectrum correlated well with the values measured by pH meter ($R^2$=0.97). Conclusion: Accurate pH values can be acquired using a $^1H$-decoupled $^{31}P$ RF coil with a clinical scanner. This two-surface coil system could be applied to other nuclear MRS or MRI.

This study was conducted to evaluate the quality characteristics of yoghurt added with 1.0%, 3.0% and 5.0% Bokbunja wine (BW) during the preparation of yoghurt. Changes of lactic acid bacterial population, pH, and total titratable acidity (TA) were monitored during the fermentation and storage of yoghurt. The pH was decreased in all the treatments, also TA and viscosity were gradually increased during the fermentation. The viscosity of yoghurt added with 5.0% BW was higher than another group. The sensory test, total phenolic acid and the anthocyanins content of the yoghurt were measured. The results of this analysis showed that higher amounts of total TA, viscosity, lactic acid bacterial population, total phenolic acid content and sensory test were observed in the yoghurt supplemented with the BW than those of yoghurt not supplemented with the BW. Sensory scores in yoghurt added 5.0% BW were significantly higher than the other groups in taste. When the BW yoghurt was kept at $4^{\circ}C$ for 12 d, its quality-keeping properties were relatively good. The combined results of this study suggest that yoghurt supplementing with BW produces additional nutrients while maintaining the flavor and quality.

Prediction of lining loads is one of the key issues to be addressed in the design of a tunnel. The validity of the existing design methods is reviewed by comparing the loads calculated using the methods with the field measurements obtained from several tunnels in Edmonton, carada. However, the existing methods are determined not to be fully satisfactory for the prediction of primary lining loads. To account for the stress reduction occurring prior to lining installation, the stress reduction factor is used coupled with an analytical solution for calculation of lining loads. Typical values of dimensionless load factors nD/H for tunnels in Edmonton are obtained from parametric analyses and presented in a table. The loads calculated using the proposed method are compared with field measurements collected from tunnels in Edmonton to verify the method. The method can be used for other tunnels if the tunnels are built in stiff or dense soils, where good ground control is accomplished during the tunnel construction.

The groundwater chemistry is heavily influenced by land use. This study has investigated the groundwater quality and contamination characteristic associated with land use. Contamination index ($C_d$) was estimated for evaluating and areal distribution of groundwater contamination degree. Groundwater samples collected from 216 locations in the study area show great variability in chemical composition. Electrical conductance ranges from 100 to $31,360\;{\mu}S/cm$. The pH values are between 4.6 (acidic) and 8.57 (weak alkaline). The water types predominantly represent the $Ca-HCO_3$ and $Ca-Na-HCO_3$ types, whereas, in the residential and business areas, the water type is shifted to (Na, Ca)-Cl type with rich concentration of Cl. The $C_d$ values of the study area range from 1.1 to 117.6 with a mean of 9.56.

In this paper, we proposed a new detection method of pH image to effectively measure a 2-dimensional pH distribution of test materials by irradiating an frequency modulated light to LAPS using a reticle. It could measure simultaneously signals in one line by applying a modulated light having difference frequency for each pixel using a frequency modulating reticle, and calculating an amplitude with respect to a frequency component by the light source. To experiment the proposed method, we designed and implemented a reticle considering of a LAPS's characteristic, and reconstructed an image by frequency analysis using the implemented reticle and test pattern image. As a result, we verified that the proposed method using the reticle was able to detect 30 times faster for a $30{\times}30$ pixels pH image having a PSNR of 22-24 [dB] than conventional method.

Reaction mechanism on the solvent extraction of nickel(Ⅱ) with N-benzylisonitrosoacetylacetone imine(HIAANB) was studied spectrophotometrically. Absorbance was measured by changing the ligand HIAANB concentration in the chloroform organic phase and the pH values in the agueous solution phase. From the absorbance data, the reaction rate was found to be the first order for HIAANB concentration and the inverse first one for [$H^+$]. The rate determining step of the extraction reaction and the rate equation are as follows; $Ni^{2+}$＋HIAANB ${\to}$ Ni-IAANB$^+$＋$H^+$ -d[Ni$^{2+}$] / dt = K'[Ni$^{2+}$][HIAANB]$_0$ / [H$^+$] Calibration curve for the spectrophotometric determination of nickel(Ⅱ) ion in the aqueous solution was linear below the concentration of 1.17 ppm at the optimum experimental condition. And the ligand-to-metal ratio, the relationship between extractability and pH of the aqueous phase, and the effect of diverse ion on the determination of nickel(Ⅱ) ion were examined.

With the massive expansion of cities in the 20th century, many fragmented small spaces are emerged. This research establishes a framework for analysis based on forward theories, and takes the development of small spaces in Busan as an example, draws conclusions through analysis, and construct a design model for the effective use of small spaces. Based on the theory of spatial design research, statistical analysis methods are used to analyse the effective use of fragmented small spaces in city. In order to provide guidance and reference suggestions when analyzing and researching this type of space design on the data collected from the survey in the future. The design of small spaces is a way to improve the efficiency of the space utilization through the reasonable design of this type of spaces. Urban space is designed to meet the requirements of urban residents as well as to consider the sustainable development of the environment and resources, society and culture. Meaningful solutions are proposed for the construction and development of the sustainable of the future urban spaces.
