  • Foods and related substances from diverse sources known to have a potential for disease risk reduction are called functional foods, while nutraceuticals are bioactive compounds isolated from food and sold in dosage form. Nutraceutical and functional food industries are rapidly growing in recent years and most of the cases development of these functional materials involves certain biotransformation processes. A number of bioactive compounds has been identified up to date and isolated from seafood related products through enzyme-mediated hydrolysis. The enzymatic bioconversion process require suitable biocatalysts and appropriate bioreactor systems to incubate byproducts with digestive enzymes. Membrane bioreactor technology is recently emerging for the development of bioactive compounds from seafood processing byproducts.

  • The foods such as rice, peanuts and plums etc. are recognized as a direct way to keep health and to cure diseases based on the theory of that the medicine and foods are from the same source, not just to maintain life, therefore due to this reason, the dietary treatment is currently gathering strength with patients who are suffering from chronic diseases. Especially, 1 trust that the practical application of functional foods and taking medicine must be highly effective in curing diseases or relieving symptoms. In order to produce the superior functional foods by medicinal herbs, we should to make a greater effort to research the harvest time of material, drying and keeping method, and additionally try to develop the standard of food material and various drugs manufacturing continually.

  • This article presents Bayesian approach to regression splines with knots on a grid of equally spaced sample quantiles of the independent variables under functional measurement error model.We consider small area model by using penalized splines of non-linear pattern. Specifically, in a basis functions of the regression spline, we use radial basis functions. To fit the model and estimate parameters we suggest a hierarchical Bayesian framework using Markov Chain Monte Carlo methodology. Furthermore, we illustrate the method in an application data. We check the convergence by a potential scale reduction factor and we use the posterior predictive p-value and the mean logarithmic conditional predictive ordinate to compar models.

  • In this paper laser micromachining system design process for commercialization is suggested. The constructed system design process is properly adjusted for laser micromachining area after tailoring engine process of system engineering process such as requirement analysis, functional analysis and allocation, system synthesis and system optimization process. In the current laser machining system design, system components and specifications are determined on the basis of experimental experience which a laser is being used in machining some materials as well as the current machining and research trend. In this paper, however, systematic process is suggested in addition to experimental experience, which the laser and system components and their specifications are decided in the process of definition of functional requirements and engine design variables of system to satisfy the customer's requirements.

  • Functional electrical stimulation (FES) has developed over the last 35 years to become a scientifically, technologically and clinically recognized field of interest in clinical medicine. FES has been applied to locomotion, grasping, ventilation, incontinence, and decubitus healing. However, all of these achievements illustrate the initial applications of FES; its true potential has not yet been realized. Recently, FES systems, which are miniaturized stimulation devices, have been utilized in the clinical setting. However, because the stimulating electrodes of the current FES devices are percutaneous electrodes, which are susceptible to wire breakage, and skin infection an implantable FES stimulating electrode has been introduced in the U.S. and Japan. In the present study, an external power supply method using radio frequency (RF) coupling and data transmission was developed for the control of the implantable FES device. In addition, we review the current understanding of FES devices and their application in clinical medicine.

  • As raw materials, the inorganic pigments, such as mica, talc and some metal oxides were mainly used in Make-Up cosmetics. Some other polymerics, organics and functional pigments were also used to cope with the various consumer's demends. Recently, excellent sliding, adhensivness, coverture and UV cutting properties were strongly required in Make-Up cosmetics. According to these demends, it needs to understand the functional properties of each pigment and consider the proper use for some purpose. And so, this report introduce the properties of inorganics, polymerics and functional pigments and their application fields for Make-Up cosmetics.

  • A series of new dielectric polymers with phenyl, epoxy, and carboxylicacid functional groups was prepared via free-radical polymerization. The effect of such dielectric polymers with various functional groups on the performance of OTFT was investigated. The nonpolar groups of terpolymer made the surface of the dielectric layer more hydrophobic and improved the crystal growth of pentacene on the gate insulator, resulting in higher mobility. By controlling the functional group, the electric characteristics of OTFT performance was varied, with $0.00017-0.15\;cm^2/V{\cdot}s$ mobility.

  • We consider testing equality of mean functions from two samples of functional data. A novel test based on the adaptive Neyman methodology applied to the Hotelling's T-squared statistic is proposed. Under the enlarged null hypothesis that the distributions of the two populations are the same, randomization methods are proposed to find a null distribution which gives accurate significance levels. An extensive simulation study is presented which shows that the proposed test works very well in comparison with several other methods under a variety of alternatives and is one of the best methods for all alternatives, whereas the other methods all show weak power at some alternatives. An application to a real-world data set demonstrates the applicability of the method.

  • Liquid whole egg (LWE) was subjected to high hydrostatic pressure (HHP), a consecutive combination of nisin and HHP (nisin-HHP), or a consecutive combination of ultrasound and HHP (ultrasound-HHP), and functional properties of processed LWE were compared to those of raw LWE. Little changes in foaming and emulsifying properties were observed by the application of HHP alone and the combined process of nisin and HHP. In contrast, ultrasound-HHP combination resulted in significant changes in color, foaming, and emulsifying properties. The maintenance of functional properties after HHP treatment agreed with expectation, because the HHP processing condition had been selected where minimal rheological changes had occurred.
