This research was done to verify the inhibitory activity of water extracts from Ecklonia cava (WE-EC) against trypsin and the effects on various temperature and pH conditions. The WE-EC showed high trypsin inhibitory activity of 76, 62 and 60% at concentrations of 5, 2.5 and 1 mg/mL, respectively. In all heat treatments excepted for two conditions, such as $100^{\circ}C$ for 20 min and $121^{\circ}C$ for 15 min, the inhibitory activity was stable compared with the untreated group. With regard to pH stability, the WE-EC showed no significant changes at pH 2~8, but somewhat decreased inhibitory activity was revealed at pH 10. Therefore, the WE-EC could be used in the food industry as a natural trypsin inhibitor.

Precipitation hardening nickel base alloys strengthened by intermetallic compounds are extensively used to manufacture on the components of the hot section of gas turbine engines. To ensure structural stability and maintenance of strength properties for a long time, nickel alloys are normally subjected to complex alloying with elements to form ${\gamma}'$(gamma prime). Such alloys have a limited weldability, are normally welded in high temperature. However, laser welding have a merit that applies in room temperature as easy control of welding parameter and heat input. In this study, $CO_2$ laser welding is applied on STS304 plate with good ductility and precipitation hardening nickel base alloy (GTD111DS) used blade material. Also, several welding parameters are applied on powder, power and travel speed. There are no cracks in Rene 80 and IN 625 powder when STS304 plate is used. But IN 625 powder has no cracks and Rene 80 have some cracks in welds with GTD111DS substrate. Adjusting of welding parameter is tried to apply Rene 80 having a good strength compare to IN 625. In the result of adjusted welding parameter, optimized welding parameters are set with low power, low feed rate and high welding speed. Tensile strength of GTD111DS substrate with Rene 80 powder is same and over than the one of base metal in room temp and high temp($760^{\circ}C$).

Variable emittance radiators can be used in a thermal management system in space because their total emittance changes depending on the temperature of the system. When the temperature of the system decreased, the emittance also decreased so as to minimize the heat loss to the environment. In contrast, when the temperature of the system increased, the emittance also increased such that radiation cooling could occur. Thermochromic materials, whose emittance is a function of the temperature, are often used in variable emittance radiators because no additional parts are needed. In this study, we fabricated a variable-emittance coating by using a sol-gel method based on LSMO ($La_{1-x}Sr_xMnO_3$) and experimentally characterized the emittance change with respect to temperature. Furthermore, we also examined the stability of LSMO film in space environments by exposing it to extremely low pressure and temperature.

Because of a continual reduction in its domestic market share, the quality of the Makgeolli, a Korean traditional liquor, needs to be upgraded. Among the several options for quality improvement, sufficient organoleptic expression of flavor is very important. We analyzed production changes of isoamyl acetate, which has a banana smell, based on fermentation temperature and sugar content through the cultivation of S. cerevisiae 98-5 KCCM 11396P using generally polished rice. The banana flavor of that fermentation mash was organoleptically high at 20℃, but a larger amount of isoamyl acetate was obtained with a higher sugar content at 10℃, based on analysis by GC-MS. Consequently, sufficient production of banana flavor from isoamyl acetate was based on the concentration of isoamyl alcohol as a substrate compound of isoamyl acetate, and the production depended highly on the maintenance of heat stability, since it is unstable in temperature and the minimized inhibition of alcohol acetyl transferase by unsaturated fatty acids. We also found that production of the flavor component required the addition of sugar and a slightly higher temperature of 20~25℃ at the beginning stage of fermentation, with additional mash fermentation and a gradual decrease in temperature to 10~15℃.

Edible hardened soybean oil is processed by hydrogenation of refined soybean oil in order to upgrade the heat and oxidation stability and to improve flavor and physical nature. This study aims to investigate the influences of various reaction conditions on iodine value, fatty acid composition and trans isomer formation in hydrogenating soybean oil. In case that hardening temperature is $180^{\circ}C$, trans acid formation increased by 6.2 times more under $3.0{\;}kg/cm^{2}H_{2}$ than under $0.5{\;}kg/cm^{2}H_{2}$, while linolenic acid decreased in contents. In case of $200^{\circ}C$ of hardening temperature trans acid formation showed 4.6% higher under $0.5{\;}kg/cm^{2}H_{2}$ than under $3.0{\;}kg/cm^{2}H_{2}$ while contents of linolenic and linoleic acids showed 0.51% and 2.5% lower respectively. It is concluded that $200^{\circ}C$ of hardening temperature under 0.5 and $3.0{\;}kg/cm^{2}H_{2}$ is better condition because trans isomers are little produced, and iodine value and linolenic acid content decreased in hardening soybean oil.

To search probiotic microorganisms, we isolated Lactobacillus sp. from kefir, The Lactobacillus sp. strain showed $99.5\%$ of identity to species Lactobacillus rhamnosus by API kit. Lactobacillus rhamnosus showed high resistances to acidic environment, which grew well even at pH 2.0 and $1.0\%$ bile salt Enzyme activity of Lactobacillus rhamnosus was higher in amylase ($0.673\;{\mu}mol/min/mg$) than that in xylanase ($0.288\;{\mu}mol/min/mg$), cellulase($0.117\;{\mu}mol/min/mg$) and phytase($0.269\;{\mu}mol/min/mg$). Especially, the Lactobacillus rhamnosus showed high heat stability which remained $1{\times}10^6\;CFU/ml$ at $60^{\circ}C$. The maximum numbers of Lactobacillus rhamnosus on growth owe was reached at 24 h fermentation and pH was decreased to 4.6. The resistances of Lactobacillus rhamnosus to acidic pH and bile salt were better than that of Lactobacillus acidophilus used as control. When Lactobacillus rhamnosus was cultured with E. coli in MRS broth, E. coli was disappeared after 18 h. These result suggest that the isolated Lactobacillus rhamnosus has a useful probiotics properties.

Soil actinomycetes of 703 strains were isolated from 25 sampling points in Cheju Island using 4 different media. Arginine glycerol salts agar containing soil extract was found to be the best medium for the isolation of soil actinomycetes. Soil samples from pasture land showed higher population and diversity of the actinomycetes than those from citrus field, forest, island, hill or valley. When the antibacterial activity of the 526 isolates was tested against three bacterial strains, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas solanacearum the frequency of the isolates with antibacterial activity varied much depending upon the media used for isolation and cultivation. BL106Ba, one of the 10 isolates that showed antibacterial activity against all the above 3 test strains, was chosen based upon the pH and heat stability of its antibacterial metabolites, and was identified as Streptomyces sp. based upon its cultural, morphological and physiological characteristics. The partially purified white crystalline substance obtained from the culture supematant of BL1063a through cation exchange chromatography(AG MP-50) and three times consecutive gel filtration(Sephadex G-10) showed high antimicrobial activity against gram positive and negative bacteria, but low activity against yeasts. The partially purified substance was found to contain at least four different compounds with antibacterial activity by both thin layer chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography.

To search direct fed microbials, we isolated a Candida sp. from kefir grain. The isolated Candida sp. strain showed 99.8% of identity to the species of Candida kefyr by API 20C kit. Enzyme activity of Candida kefyr was higher in amylase (0.33±1.12μmol/min/mg) than that in phytase (0.052±0.98μmol/ min/mg) cellulase(0.051±μmol/min/mg) and xylanase (0.011±0.98mol/min/mg). The maximum numbers of Candida kefyr in growth curve were reached at 30 h fermentation. Candida kefyr showed high resistances to acidic environment, which was not perfectly extincted even at pH 2.0. And it showed high tolerance to bile salt which had almost 97.2% of survival in the presence of 1.0% bile salt.Especially, Candida kefyr showed high heat stability which remained 10% of initial microorganisms at 60℃. Candida kefyr was not generally inhibited by most of 11 antibiotic agent which contained tetracycline groups. These results suggest that the isolated Candida kefyr has a useful properties as probiotics.

In design of a deep geological repository for the high level wastes, it is very important that the temperature of the bentonite block should not be over $100^{\circ}C$ to maintain the integrity of the bentonite buffer block from the decay heat. In this study, for the layout of the repository to meet the requirement, the analysis of the disposal tunnel and disposal pit spacing was carried out. To do this, based on the reference repository concept, several cases of cooling times and disposal tunnel and disposal pit spacing were compared. The thermal stabilities of the disposal systems were analyzed in terms of the cooling time and spacing. The results showed that it was more desirable to determine the layout of the repository in terms of disposal pit spacing than the disposal tunnel spacing. The results of these analyses can be used in the deep geological repository design. The detailed analyses with the exact site characteristics data will reduce the uncertainty of the results.

The proposed $CO_2$ storage technology in the present study is a one-step sequestration process that stabilizes $CO_2$ in a reactor with Serpentine. The advantage of this technology is associated with its high stability of final product so that the entire system is recognized as permanent environment-friendly $CO_2$ removal method. Since the sequestration reaction mechanisms are generally understood that carbonation reaction proceeds with very slow rate, so that pretreatment method to increases reaction rate of $CO_2$ carbonation reaction should be developed. To increase the reactivity of Serpentine with $CO_2$, two different methods of pretreatment are carried out in the present investigation. One is heat-treatment, the other is chemical pretreatment. In this study, only chemical pretreatment is considered leaching method of magnesium from Serpentine using sulfuric acid at the various reaction temperatures, times, and acid concentrations. Experimental results illustrated that pretreatment by sulfuric acid increases surface area of serpentine from $11.1209m^2/g$ to $98.7903m^2/g$ and extracts magnesium compounds. Single variable experiment demonstrated the enhancements of magnesium extraction with increased reaction temperature and time. Amount of magnesium extraction is obtained by using the data of ICP-AES as maximum extraction condition of magnesium is 2 M acid solution, $75^{\circ}C$ and 1hr. After performing chemical pretreatment, carbonation yield increased from 23.24% to 46.30% of weight.
