Salicornia herbacea is rich in natural minerals, dietary fibers, and potentially health-promoting phenolic compounds. In this paper, an experimental design was applied for the optimization of the ultrasound-assisted extraction of phenolic compounds from lyophilized Salicornia herbacea powder. The experiments were conducted in accordance with a five-level, three-variable central composite rotatable design (CCRD), and the effects of solvent concentration, extraction time, and extraction temperature were evaluated via response surface methodology (RSM). The optimal extraction conditions were as follows: ethanol concentration, 76.80%; extraction time, 20 min; and extraction temperature, $33.21^{\circ}C$; and the solvent concentration was the most significant parameter in this process, under which the predicted total phenolic content was 49.91 mg GAE/g sample.

Natural red and yellow dyestuff was extracted from safflower (Carthamus tinctorius Linnaeus) by a new process of cellulase extraction compared with the conventional hot water extraction. Dyestuffs were extracted from safflower easily and repeatedly by means of cellulose as safflower cell wall destroyer. It means that new dyestuff extraction by cellulase improves not only yields of dyestuff from safflower successfully but also the rate of repetition of extraction. From the above experiments, the conclusions of this study were summarized as follows. 1. The optimum conditions of dyestuff extraction from safflower by general extraction method were that the solvent was the water of pH 6.0 on yellow dyestuff and 3% $K_2CO_3$ solution on red dyestuff, extraction temperature was $55^{\circ}C$, and extraction time was 30 min. 2. Among various cellulase, the NOVO cellulase was the best cell wall destroyer of safflower and finally produced the largest amount of dyestuff from safflower by cellulase extraction method. 3. The optimum conditions of dyestuff extraction by cellulase extraction method were conducted on 10 unit of cellulase per gram of safflower at $100m{\ell}$ water of pH 5.0 at $50^{\circ}C$ for 30 min.

In this paper, a new license plate recognition method using the morphological size distribution functions and color images is proposed. The proposed method consists of two steps. The first step is license plate extraction process using the plate color and step edge information in the license plate. The second step is the extraction of character feature vectors using the morphological size distribution functions and character recognition process using the MLP(multilayer perceptron). By the use of morphological size distributions functions, the error that may occur during the character region extraction process is lessened and the recognition performances are improved by the decrease of feature vector dimension.

${\beta}$-Glucan a kind of polysaccharide which is particularly abundant in Agaricus blazei is known as the bioactive materials especially anticancer agents. The process development of the isolation and the purification process of water soluble ${\beta}$-glucans from A. blazei was achieved. and the process operation variables were optimized. Crude polysaccharides (CR.PS) were obtained from A. blazei by hot water extraction filtration solvent precipitation dialysis and freeze drying. Neutral and acidic fraction of polysaccharides were separated from crude polysaccharides by ion chromatography and then high molecular weight and low molecular weight fraction were separated from neutral fraction by gel chromatography. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of each compounds were performed with FT-IR NMR spectroscopy. Based on these analysis the optimal conditions of temperatures operating time organic solvent volume for precipitation and dialysis time were determined.

Pinosylvin, a stilbenoid phytoalexin, is a health ingredient to be extracted from pine leaves. In this study, ultrasonication-assisted extraction process for manufacturing extracts with high content of pinosylvin from pine leaves was investigated. As process and system variables, ultrasonic power, sonication time and solvent ratio were selected. According to the experimental results, the effective yield of pinosylvin increased with the increase of ultrasonic power and sonication time and the decrease of solvent ratio. When the ultrasonic power of 2400 W/L was added to the solution of pulverized pine leaves of 8 g per 1 L of a solvent for 10 minutes, yield of extracts and purity, effective yield and concentration ratio of pinosylvin were 0.3166 g/g, 0.7247 mg/g, 0.2294 mg/g and 23.0, respectively.

Heat flow characteristics during hot water extraction process was studied experimentally. Data were taken at various outlet port type for the fixed inlet port type, inlet-outlet temperature differences and mass flow rates. In this study, the temperature distribution in a storage tank and an outlet temperature were measured to predict a degree of stratification in the storage tank, and a useful rate of hot water was analysed with respect to the variables dominating a extraction process. Experimental results show that the degree of stratification and useful rate of hot water are all high in a low flow rate in case of using modified distributor I (MDI) as the outlet port type.

Metal additive manufacturing (AM), also known as metal three-dimensional (3D) printing, produces 3D metal products by repeatedly adding and solidifying metal materials layer by layer. During the metal AM process, products experience repeated local melting and cooling using a laser or electron beam, resulting in product defects, such as warpage, cracks, and internal pores. Such defects adversely affect the final product. This paper proposes the in situ monitoring-based warpage prediction of metal AM products with experimental feature extraction. The temperature profile of the metal AM substrate during the process was experimentally collected. Time-domain features were extracted from the temperature profile, and their relationships to the warpage mechanism were investigated. The standard deviation showed a significant linear correlation with warpage. The findings from this study are expected to contribute to optimizing process parameters for metal AM warpage reduction.

The extraction and adsorption characteristics for three phenolic ketones with high physicochemical similarity among phenolic compounds, which are alcohol fermentation inhibitors in lignocellulosic biomass hydrolysates, were investigated. The most suitable basic extractant for selectively separating acetosyringone from three phenol ketones by reactive extraction was found to be trioctylphosphine oxide. In addition, it was found that adsorption using XAD16, a polymer neutral resin adsorbent, or physical extraction using hexane, was a suitable separation method for separation of 4'-hydroxyacetophenone (HAP) and acetovanillone (AVO). A five-step fractionation process including extraction and adsorption mentioned above has been first proposed to separate and concentrate the three phenol ketones present at equal mass percentages. When physical extraction with n-hexane and re-extraction with an aqueous NaOH solution were used as the steps 4 and 5 in the fractionation process respectively, it was possible to obtain almost 70% or more of the purity of three phenolic ketones.

Petasin extracted from Petasites japonicus leaves has been well known to be effective in the treatment of allergic asthma. This study was carried out to optimize the extraction process of petasin from P. japonicus leaves by response surface methodology (RSM). The dried powder of P. japonicus leaves was extracted at ethanol concentrations ranging from 40% to 80%, extraction rpm ranging from 125 rpm to 225 rpm, and extraction time ranging from 1 to 3 hours. The effects of the extraction conditions on the dry yield and petasin content of the extracts were investigated using a second-order Box-Behnken design. The petasin content was significantly affected by ethanol concentration, extraction rpm, and extraction time, tending to increase more with increasing ethanol concentration. The optimum condition for petasin extraction from Petasites japonicus leaves was 79.92% in ethanol concentration, 178.10 rpm in extraction rpm, and 2.06 hours in extraction time, respectively.
