This study was performed to determine the quality characteristics of lemon pyun with various kinds of getting agents: agar, gelatin, sweet Potato starch, corn starch and Potato starch. Lemon Pyun was made with lemon juice(21.4％), gelling agent(6.7％), water(53.3％), sugar(13.3％) and honey(5.3％). The quality characteristics of the sample were estimated in terms of pH, color difference, texture profile analysis and sensory evaluation. (Ed- as this is an abstract this introductional clause is unnecessary) The PH of lemon pyun showed no significant difference among the different gelling agents. Lightness was significantly(p＜0.05) lowered in the agar and gelatin groups, a value was significantly(p＜0.05) lowered in the sweet potato starch and potato starch groups, and b value was significantly(p＜0.05) lowered in the sweet potato starch group. In texture profile analysis, chewiness, gumminess and hardness were significantly(p＜0.05) increased in the sweet potato starch group. According to sensory evaluation, elasticity and hardness of the sweet potato starch and cornstarch groups were stronger(p＜0.05) than of other gelling agent groups. Lemon pyun containing sweet potato starch was most preferable in terms of Vitamin C provision.

The biocontrol agent, Serratia plymuthica A21-4, has been developed for controlling pepper Phytophthora blight. Serratia plymuthica A21-4 strongly inhibits the mycelial growth, zoospore formation, and cyst germination of Phytophthora capsici in vitro. The application of a cell suspension of strain A21-4 to pepper plants in pot experiments and in greenhouse successfully controlled the disease. The bacteria produced a potent antifungal substance which was a key factor in the suppression of Phytophthora capsici. The most active chemical com-pound was isolated and purified by antifungal activity-guided fractionation. The chemical structure was identified as a chlorinated macrolide $(C_{23}H_{31}O_8Cl)$ by spectroscopic (UV, IR, MS, and NMR) data, and was named macrocyclic lactone A21-4. The active compound significantly inhibited the formation of zoosporangia and zoospore and germination of cyst of P. capsici at concentrations lower than $0.0625{\mu}g/ml$. The effective concentrations of the macrocyclic lactone A21-4 for $ED_{50}$ of mycelial growth inhibition were $0.25{\mu}g/ml,\;0.25{\mu}g/ml,\;0.30{\mu}g/ml \;and\;0.75{\mu}g/ml$ against P. capsici, Pythium ultimum, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Botrytis cinerea, respectively.

Posturography stands or quantitative assessment of body postural stability analysis. The present study developed a balance plate system to monitor patient's center of pressure (COP) movement and to analyze its stability. An equilateral triangular shaped plate was made of duralumin and forces were measured on the three vertices of the plate using industrial load cells. Specially designed electronic circuit picked up force signals ed into data acquisition system to calculate the cartesian coordinates of COP. COP calculation error was less than 2%. The force signals enabled to compute stability measures, which consisted of a variety of clinical parameters related to postural stability. Clinical experiments were carefully designed and performed on 40 normal subjects. The results were that 1) postural stability decreased with age and 2) the best parameters were those of posture deviation measures. A customized PC-based software package was developed to apply the present technique with a great convenience to monitoring and analyzing postural stability in an accurate and quantitative way.

Superplastic deformation behavior and texture evolution after equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) of Zn-0.3Al alloy were investigated in this study. ECAP was conducted at temperatures from $40^{\circ}C$ to $160^{\circ}C$ on the plate type specimens of 5 mm thickness and 20 mm width. The specimens obtained by ECAP showed typical texture with basal poles tilted away from the ND toward ED. A series of compression and tensile tests was carried out at temperatures from RT to $200^{\circ}C$ under the strain rate from 0.03 to 10/s. After ECAP of the Zn-Al alloy, elongation was dramatically increased up to 1000% at above $60^{\circ}C$. The effects of ECAP on the texture and anisotropy in the superplastic deformation bebavior were found to be negligible.

Efficacy of a 1% solution of sodium carboxymethylcellulose (SCMC) infu7ed into the peritoneal cavity of dogs was evaluated for prevention of intraperitoneal adhesion, resulting from operations of the reproductive tract. Saline-treated deles (n = 5) were controls that underwent ventral midline celiotomy, and adhesions were cleated by incision and scraping about 5 cm segment of each uterine horn. Saline (7 ml/kg of body weight) was then infused into the peritoneal cavity. Others (n = 5) were treaded similarly to the saline-treated dogs. except that 1% SCMC :solution (7mH/kg of body weight) was infused into the peritoneal cavity. This group was studied to determine whether SCHC would prevent the adhesions in the peritoneal cavity, especially in the uterine horn model. Abdominal adhesions were evaluated and an adhesion severity score was assigned to each dog on the basis of severity of adhesions. At the time of necropsy. the mean adhesion score in the saline treated group was $2.65{\pm}0.22.$ In contrast, adhesion formation in the SCMC treated group was less ($mean score =1.70{\pm}0.26$). Statistic71 analysis was performed using the grouped t-test and paired t-test. A significanlty lower adhesion score was observed in dogs given SCMC than in the saline treated group (P<0.01). In summary, SCMC significantly reduced adhesion formation in the dog uterine horn model. The results of this study suggest that application of 1% SCMC solution, following various reproductive pelvic surgery, will present the adhesions.

To elucidate the involvement of interleukin-$1{\beta}$ converting enzyme (ICE) in the course of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), we induced EAE by immunizing rats with an emulsion of rat spinal cord homogenate with complete Freund's adjuvant supplemented with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (H37Ra, 5mg/ml) and then examined the expression of ICE in the spinal cord of rats with EAE. In normal rat spinal cords, ICE is constitutively, but weakly, expressed in ependymal cells, neurons, and some neuroglial cells. In EAE, many inflammatory cells are positive for ICE, and the majority of ICE+ cells were identified as ED1+ macrophages. During this stage of EAE, the number of ICE+ cells in brain cells, including neurons and astrocytes, increased and these cells also had increased ICE immunoreactivity. These findings suggest that the upregulation of ICE in both brain cells and invading hematogenous cells is stimulated by a secretory product from inflammatory cells, and that this enzyme is involved in the pathogenesis of EAE via the production of IL-1 beta.

We studied formation of nanostructured $TiB_2$-Cu composites under shock wave conditions. We investigated the influence of preliminary mechanical activation (MA) of Ti-B-Cu powder mixtures on the peculiarities of the reaction between Ti and B under shock wave. In the MA-ed mixture the reaction proceeded completely while in the non-activated mixture the reagents remained along with the product . titanium diboride. The size of titanium diboride particles in the central part of the compact was 100-300 nm.

The effect of interlayer coating thickness of Ni and Ti on corrosion behavior was studied for TiN ion plat-ed steel plate. Interlayer coating was carried out in a single and bi-layer to a various thickness combination prior to final TiN coating. Corrosion behavior was evaluated by anodic polarization test in 1N H2SO4 as well as salt spray test. Ni interlayer coating was effectived in reducing corrosion current density of active region and Ti interlayer coating over Ni coating reduced the anodic corrosion current density by an order of 4 with increasing the thickness of Ti up to$ 3\mu\textrm{m}$. The improvement of corrosion resistance by Ni/Ti interlayer coating was attributed to the effective prevention of penetration of active corrosion agent resulting from the inherent corrosion resistance of Ni and Ti. Putting corrosion behavior was observed from salt spray test result for all specimens and corrosion resistance at salt atmosphere was enhanced with increasing Ni and Ti thickness, Cor-lay TiN coating was spalled out by the generation of corrosion products.

The self-toughened Si3N4 ceramics where needle-like coarse ${\beta}$-Si3N4 grains were dispersed within fine-grain-ed matrix were prepared via hot-prssing at 1730$^{\circ}C$ for 2 h using 5 vol% ${\beta}$-Si3N4 whiskers as a seed. In this study the microstructures and mechanical properties of self-toughened Si3N4 ceramics were investigated. The flexural strength of self-toughened Si3N4 ceramics was increased from 600-800 MPa of the Si3N4 monolith to 830-1025 MPa. The KIC was also increased from 4.0-5.0MPa$.$m1/2 of the Si3N4 monolith to 5.8-6.5MPa$.$m1/2$.$The needle-like coarse Si3N4 grains in self-toughened ceramics were considered to induce various toughening mechanisms including the crack deflection pull-out and bridging and to contribute to KIC improvement. In ad-dition to toughening mechanisms the KIC improvement was considered to be partially indebted also to the orien-tation of large ${\beta}$-Si3N4 grains and to the promoting effect of ${\beta}$-Si3N4 whiskers on the ${\alpha}$ to ${\beta}$ transtion.
