This study was conducted to evaluate the quality characteristics of darae (Actinidia arguta) jelly, a snack for elementary school children, prepared with darae extract. To establish the amount of darae extract (0~4%) that could be added to jelly, the physicochemical sensory characteristics and mechanical properties were measured. As the amount of darae extract increased, the values of L and b were decreased, whereas the a value was increased. Sensory evaluation of the sweetness, taste, flavor, texture and overall acceptability of jelly prepared using 2% darae extract resulted in a high score. Among the mechanical properties, by increasing darae extract only the hardness of the extract was significantly decreased. The results of this study suggest that darae extract can be useful in the production of high quality jelly. Thus, it can be served as a substitute for existing high calorie commercial snacks for children.

Pollens have been known to possess various biological properties. Therefore, pollens have been extensively used in functional food, folk medicine, and beverage industry to improve human health. This study was conducted to establish the optimized protocol for cytoplasm isolation of bee pollen. Data of biochemical parameters and fatty acid profiles were obtained from pollens of Acorn and Darae(Actinidia arguta). Contents of crude protein and crude fat were 24.1% and 11.8% in Acorn pollen, and those of Darae pollen showed 35.8% and 8.7% in crude protein and crude fat respectively. Also after lyophilizing of Acorn pollen, content of crude protein was increased to 26.5%. Main fatty acids were palmitic acid(C16 : 0), oleic acid(C18 : 1), linoleic acid(C18 : 2) and linolenic acid(C18 : 3) in bee pollen. Linoleic acid(37.3%) was dominant fatty acid in Acorn pollen that is one of essential fatty acids. Linolenic acid(48.3%) was dominant fatty acid in Darae pollen that is a polyunsaturated fatty acid. The proportion of unsaturated fatty acids to total acid content was 73.2% in Acorn and 63.2% in Darae pollen, and especially that of polyunsaturated fatty acids was higher than 55%.

This stduy was attempted to establish the basic data for evaluating chemical components in the sap from birches(Betula platyphylla Sukatschev, Betula costata Trautv, Betula davurica Pallas), bamboos(Phyllostachys pubescens, Phyllostachys bambusoides, Phyllostachys nigra), Darae(Actinidia arguta). Calcium and potassium in five kinds of mineral detected in the sap were dominant mineral, magnesium, sodium and iron in order and calcium, potassium and magnesium are abundant in the sap from bamboo more than the other sample and the contents were 242.0~422.1mg/L, 793.8~ 2504.1mg/L and 72.6~165.9mg/L, respectively. Free sugars of the sap determined were glucose, fructose and sucrose, but maltose was not detected. The contents of glucose and fructose of the sap from Betula platyphylla Sukatschev(#2) were the highest and 42.1g/L and 36.9g/L, respectively. The detectabel nucleotides and their related compounds were CMP, UMP, GMP, IMP, AMP and hypoxanthine. The total contents of composition amino acids detected from eighteen kinds of the sap were in the range of 2.4~30.4mg%. The major amino acids were taurine, glycine, lysine, alanine and threonine in the sap from birch(#1, #2), glutamic acid and lysine in the sap from Betula costata Trauty(#3) and Betula davurica Pallas(#4), lysine, valine, alanine, serine, tyrosine and glutamic acid in the sap from bamboos, and glutamic acid, leucine, alanine in the sap from Darae.

This study was performed to increase the production of ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid (GABA) by lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus brevis CFM11) and manufacture an optimum medium using the sap from Darae (Actinidia arguta). The concentration of GABA in the fermented sap was determined using GABase enzymatic assay. The isolated L. brevis CFM11 produced $605.67{\mu}g/mL$ GABA after incubation for 24 hours at $37^{\circ}C$ in broth. The sap was fermented by L. brevis CFM11 under optimum conditions of $32^{\circ}C$ for 48 hours with 40% rice bran extract, 1.0% sucrose, 3.0% soytone, 0.2% magnesium sulfate, and 0.2% MSG. The fermented sap produced a concentration of $1366.13{\mu}g/mL$ GABA. These results demonstrate that fermenting Darae sap using L. brevis CFM11 can produce a fermented sap beverage with increased GABA content.

This paper reviews and compares three different methods for modeling incompressible and immiscible ternary fluid flows: the immersed boundary, level set, and phase-field methods. The immersed boundary method represents the moving interface by tracking the Lagrangian particles. In the level set method, an interface is defined implicitly by using the signed distance function, and its evolution is governed by a transport equation. In the phase-field method, the advective Cahn-Hilliard equation is used as the evolution equation, and its order parameter also implicitly defines an interface. Each method has its merits and demerits. We perform the several simulations under different conditions to examine the merits and demerits of each method. Based on the results, we determine the most suitable method depending on the specific modeling needs of different situations.

We present an accurate and efficient numerical method for solving the Black-Scholes equation. The method uses an adaptive grid technique which is based on a far-field boundary position and the Peclet condition. We present the algorithm for the automatic adaptive grid generation: First, we determine a priori suitable far-field boundary location using the mathematical model parameters. Second, generate the uniform fine grid around the non-smooth point of the payoff and a non-uniform grid in the remaining regions. Numerical tests are presented to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method. The results show that the computational time is reduced substantially with the accuracy being maintained.

In this paper, we consider the adaptive multigrid method for solving the Black-Scholes equation to improve the efficiency of the option pricing. Adaptive meshing is generally regarded as an indispensable tool because of reduction of the computational costs. The Black-Scholes equation is discretized using a Crank-Nicolson scheme on block-structured adaptively refined rectangular meshes. And the resulting discrete equations are solved by a fast solver such as a multigrid method. Numerical simulations are performed to confirm the efficiency of the adaptive multigrid technique. In particular, through the comparison of computational results on adaptively refined mesh and uniform mesh, we show that adaptively refined mesh solver is superior to a standard method.

In this paper, we briefly review and describe a projection algorithm for numerically computing the two-dimensional time-dependent incompressible Navier-Stokes equation. The projection method, which was originally introduced by Alexandre Chorin [A.J. Chorin, Numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations, Math. Comput., 22 (1968), pp. 745-762], is an effective numerical method for solving time-dependent incompressible fluid flow problems. The key advantage of the projection method is that we do not compute the momentum and the continuity equations at the same time, which is computationally difficult and costly. In the projection method, we compute an intermediate velocity vector field that is then projected onto divergence-free fields to recover the divergence-free velocity. Numerical solutions for flows inside a driven cavity are presented. We also provide the source code for the programs so that interested readers can modify the programs and adapt them for their own purposes.

In this paper, we present a detailed comparison of the performance of the numerical solvers such as the biconjugate gradient stabilized, operator splitting, and multigrid methods for solving the two-dimensional Black-Scholes equation. The equation is discretized by the finite difference method. The computational results demonstrate that the operator splitting method is fastest among these solvers with the same level of accuracy.

In this paper, we develop a mobile platform for pricing equity linked securities(ELS) using Monte Carlo simulation. Mobile phone or smartphone is an important part of most people's lives and has become an everyday item at the present day. Moreover, importance of technologies for anytime and anywhere is increasing daily. Thus, we construct a mobile computing environment for pricing ELS instead of desktops or laptop computers. We provide a detailed Java programming code and a process manual to easily follow up all processes of this paper.
