  • The effect of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) isomers esterified in diacylglycerol (DAG)-rich oil on lipid metabolism was investigated. Since dietary DAG has been known to induce the regression of atherosclerosis, CLA-DAG and olive-DAG oils containing similar levels of DAG (51.4~54.2%) were synthesized from olive oil. Hyperlipidemic C57BL/6J mice were then fed high-fat high-cholesterol diets supplemented with these oils (5% each) for 7 wk. The CLA-DAG diet containing 2.1% CLA isomers (0.78% c9,t11-CLA; 1.18% t10,c12-CLA) remarkably increased the levels of total plasma cholesterol and glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) along with hepatic cholesterol and triacylglycerol (TAG) contents. Furthermore, the CLA-DAG diet inhibited fat uptake into adipose tissue whereas fat deposition (especially in the liver) was increased, resulting in the development of fatty livers. Hepatic fatty acid composition in the CLA-DAG mice was different from that of the olive-DAG mice, showing higher ratios of C16:1/C16:0 and C18:1/C18:0 in the liver. The activity of hepatic acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) was higher in CLA-DAG mice while plasma lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) activity and the ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP) were lower in CLA-DAG mice compared to the olive-DAG animals. Results of the present study suggest that CLA incorporation into DAG oil could induce atherosclerosis in mice.

  • The water-vapour transmission ratios (WVTR) of the various commercial polymer films have been investigated at the constant pressure and relative humidity (RH). Water proofnesses, the reciprocals of WVTR for the various samples, were determined using a cup device and maintaining the sample films at a constant temperature ($40{\pm}1^{\circ}C$) and a constant R. H ($90{\pm}2%$) for 24 hours. The following order of the relative proofness was observed; oriented polypropyrene (O.PP) > high density polyethylene (HDPE, Inflation) > high density polyethylene (HDPE. T-die) > casted polypropylene (C. PP) > nonoriented polyester (N. PET) > low density polyethylene (LDPE) > oriented polyester (O. PET) > rigid polyvinyl chloride (Rigid PVC) > semirigid polyvinyl chloride (Semirigid PVC) > nonrigid polyvinyl chloride (Nonrigid PVC) > oriented nylon (O. Nylon) > nonoriented nylon (N. Nylon). And water proofness order was also observed to decrease with the temperature rising; HDPE (T-die) > C. PP > O. PET > LDPE > O. Nylon. The activation energies of LDPE, HDPE (T-die), C. PP, O. PET and O.Nylon films were 12.0, 11.1, 11.4, 11.7, 14.1 kcal/mole, respectively. The WVTR's of the films were increased with the polarity of polymer and the addition of plasticizer in PVC, decreased with the increase of the film thickness and mechanical orientation. The WVTR's of the laminated films O. PP/LDPE, N.Nylon/LDPE, C.PP/LDPE were also more dependent on the film thickness than the WVTR's of the single films.

  • This study was to screen white-rot fungi possesing strong lignin degrading enzymes, glucose-1 oxidase (GOD), laccase (LAC) and Mn-peroxidase (MnP), based on their decolorization activity of Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR). In the midst of 20 tested fungi, 9 isolates were shown 4 kinds of activities such as RBBR decolorization, GOD, LAC and MnP. Relatively high active strains were identified as Phlebia radiata, Trametes versicolor, Abortiporus biennis, Gleophyllum odoratum and Cerrena unicolor. In particular, T. versicolor, G. odoratum, and C. unicolor, which have high activities of LAC, were used to confirm the optimal temperature and pH and to evaluate the effect of inducer, 2,5-xylidine on their LAC activity. The optimum temperatures for mycelial growth were $28^{\circ}C$ for T. versicolor and G. odoratum, and $25^{\circ}C$ for C. unicolor. The optimum pH for mycelial growth was 5.5. Three strains showed the increase of LAC enzyme activity by the addition of 2,5-xylidine. T. versicolor had the highest LAC activity of $22,700nkat/{\ell}$, corresponding to 11.3 times, G. odoratum $15,400nkat/{\ell}$, 9 times and C. unicolor $17,330nkat/{\ell}$, 5.5 times higher than those of the control.

  • This study was performed to determine sequence variation and RFLP of the mt DNA D-loop region using Southern blot hybridization analysis and to develop mt DNA marker affecting milk production traits in Hanwoo cows. The PCR was used to amplify an 1142 bp fragment within the D-loop region of mt DNA using specific primers. Mt DNA were digested with seven restriction enzymes and hybridized using DIG-labeled D-loop probe. The mt DNA RFLP polymorphisms were observed in the four enzymes, BamHI, RsaI, XbaI and HpaII. Nucleotide substitutions were detected at positions 441 (G/C), 469 (T/C), 503 (C/T), 569 (G/A), 614 (C/A) and 644 (C/T) of the mt DNA D-loop region between two selected lines. Significant relationship between the XbaI RFLP type and breeding value was found(p<0.05). Cows with A type had higher estimated breeding values than those with B type (P<0.05) between high and low milk production lines. Therefore, the RFLP marker of mt DNA could be used as a selection assisted tool for individuals with high milk producing ability in Hanwoo.

  • Hard chrome plating has been used in surface hard coating over 50 years both for applying hard coating and re-building of worn components. Hard chrome plating solution and mist pollute environment with very toxic $Cr^{6+}$(hex-Cr) known as carcinogen which causes lung cancer, High velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) thermal spray coatings of WC base cermet and Co-alloy powders are the most promising candidates for the replacement of the traditional hard chrome plating. Surface properties, wear, and friction behaviors of micron size Co-alloy (T800) and micron size WC-l2Co (WC-Co) have been studied for the application as hard coatings. The temperature dependence of wear and friction behaviors of T800 and WC-Co have been investigated at the temperature of $25^{\circ}C$ and $538^{\circ}C$ for the application to high speed spindle.

  • High temperature deformation behavior and texture evolution during ECAP(equal channel angular pressing) 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 specimen of 5mm thickness and 20mm width. The specimens obtained by ECAP showed typical texture with basal poles tilted away from the ND toward ED. A series of compression tests was carried out at temperatures from RT to $200^{\circ}C$ under the strain rate from 0.03 to 10/s. With the strain rate increased, serration behavior was observed to be prominent.

  • AC and DC insulation breakdown voltage was studied for magnet wire coated with double layers of high flexural PAI layer and high anti-corona PAI/nanosilica (15 wt%) layer. The specimens were prepared at various drying temperatures (T/D): $22^{\circ}C$, $240^{\circ}C$, and $260^{\circ}C$, respectively. The increase effects of nanosilica on AC and DC insulation breakdown voltage were not so significant compared to that of magnet wire coil coated with original PAI. And the AC and DC insulation breakdown voltage was improved by decreasing diameter of winding coil. As T/D temperature increased, AC and DC insulation breakdown voltage decreased.

  • High T$_{c}$ superconducting lines will be applied as key materials in the areas of power transmission line; magnetic levitation of vehicle; magnetic separation; magnetic energy storage and marine propulsion. A combination method of electrophoresis deposition and zone-melting for preparation of YBaCuO tape is proposed. The submicron particle powder of YBaCuO made by sol-gel method is used in the electrophoresis process. A 40~50${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ thickness of YBaCuO film on Ag plate could be deposited in about three minutes. After deposition the film is rolled and heat treated in order to increase the density and the adhesion of the film to the Ag plate. Silver(Ag) and lead oxide(PbO) were added in the YBaCuO powder in order to reduce its melting point. The YBaCuO coating with controlled Ag and PbO contents was preliminarily zone-melted at about 945$^{\circ}C$.>.

  • The development of automotive rear chassis part using tube forming process has advantage of increase in part durability and decrease in its weight. We developed tubular type rear CTBA(Coupled Torsion Beam Axle) part with 60K high strength steel developed by POSCO in this project. The result was demonstrated that tubular type CTBA shows excellent durability performance and $10\%$ weight reduction compared with V-beam type CTBA in our work. Furthermore, we will adapt this technology to mass production and apply to the other chassis parts.
