Si-Raw is a raw cured meat (raw, cured meat fermented with steamed rice) produced by the aboriginal people of Taiwan. In order to prevent food poisoning or intoxication from botulism, new methods of monitoring the production base on hurdle technology were investigated. New methods investigated incorporated citric acid, sodium hypophosphite, Monascus anka mash, plum paste or lactic acid bacteria inoculum added separately to meat with steamed rice and salt to lower the Aw (water activity) and pH values of the products to control the microbial growth. Results showed that anaerobic bacterial counts, lactic acid bacterial counts and aerobic bacterial counts for the products of all treatments were less than $10^6$, $10^5$ and $10^2cfu/g$, respectively. Sodium chloride content of all products was above 5.46%, water activity was below 0.939 and pH value was below 4.27. IMP was lower and ATP and hypoxanthine were higher. ATP concentrations were higher in the samples which contained the anka mash. Result of sensory panel test indicated that most people preferred the products with added sodium hypophosphite. Except for the fact that the content of tryptamine in the sample with Monascus anka mash was higher, the amine concentrations for all treatments were lower than those of other fermented meat products. The amino acid nitrogen content was higher in the product made from raw meat treated with citric acid, but lower in the other products. Neither Clostridium botulinum nor Trichinella spiralis were detected in any of the treatments. The result may indicate that hurdle technology is effective for hygiene and safe producing Si-Raw.

The purpose of this paper to present morphological normal chick chromosomes and develope avian cytogenetic techniques including chromosome preparation and banding technique. The early chick embryos provide a consistent source of material with hish mitotic cells. Although chick embryo tissue gives excellent preparations, the 4-5 days embryo is somewhat incovenient materials, Most imp of ant for avian Chromosome analysis are the technical protocols to achieve adequate preservation, spreading, and staining of the full chromosome complement. To precise chromosome analysis, pro-metaphase states are required. Best results of banding will be obtained from air dried slides prepared from early chick embryos that have been aged at least 1 week. Good G-banding differentiation is achieved by adequate trypsin digestion fellowed by staining in Goe,sa dye. The results of C-banding is influenced by many factors including the conditions of Ba(OH)$_2$, HCl treatment, and state of rinsing. In addition to precisely interprets banding patterns, the densitometric analysis is recommended.

In this thesis, a new broadband PIFA(Planar Inverted-F Antenna) for PCS and IMP-2000 applications is designed. The dual-L antenna structure is adopted in order to improve the characteristics of PIFA which usually has a narrow band. The height of the antenna is fixed 6 mm considering terminal's thickness and the structure is deformed into the folded radiation patches to minimize the size of the antenna. The bandwidth of a realized antenna is 1.66∼2.35 ㎓(34.5 %) fur return loss below -10 ㏈ which contain the required bandwidth of PCS and IMT-2000. And Monopole antenna with λ/4 length is designed and compared with dual-L with folded patch in SAR. 1 g and 10 g averaged peak SAR of PIFA are about 25.7 %, 30.3 % lower than those of monopole antenna respectively.

This paper describes the development of HVDC ${\pm}500kV$ polypropylene laminated paper (PPLP) mass-impregnated (MI) type cable system for HVDC transmission lines. As you know, mass-impregnated type cable generally has only insulating layer with the Kraft paper impregnated with a high-viscosity insulating compound. But polypropylene laminated paper is made of a layer of extruded polypropylene (PP) film sandwiched between two layers of Kraft paper. Thanks to PP film and its combination with Kraft paper, PPLP has higher AC, Impulse (Imp.) and DC breakdown (BD) strengths as well as lower dielectric loss than conventional Kraft paper insulation. In addition, Kraft MI cable has a limitation for the maximum conductor temperature as $55^{\circ}C$ But this PPLP MI cable has higher maximum conductor temperature than that of Kraft MI cable due to advantage of oil drainage characteristics. It is the most economic type of cable for HVDC transmission. Also HVDC ${\pm}500kV$ PPLP MI cable system was developed including land joints and outdoor-terminations. In order to prove the mechanical and electrical performances, the type test was carried out according to CIGRE recommendations. A full scale cable system has been tested successfully. And additional load cycle and polarity reversal tests on the cable system showed a higher performance compared with a similar mass impregnated paper cable.

The full-length cDNA of the porcine SMPX gene was obtained by the rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE). The nucleotide sequences and the predicted protein sequences share high sequence identity with both human and mouse. The promoter of SMPX was sequenced and then analyzed to find the promoter binding sites. The reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) revealed that SMPX has a high level of expression in heart and skeletal muscle, a very low expression in lung and spleen and no expression in liver, kidney, fat and brain. Moreover, SMPX has a differential expression level in skeletal muscle, the expression in 65-day embryos being higher than other stages. The porcine SMPX was mapped to SSCXp24 by using a somatic cell hybrid panel (SCHP) and was found closely linked to SW1903 using the radiation hybrid panel IMpRH. An A/G single nucleotide polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) in the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) was detected in eight breeds. The analysis of allele frequency distribution showed that introduced pig breeds (Duroc and Large White) have a higher frequency of allele A while in the Chinese indigenous pig breeds (Qingping pig, Lantang pig, YushanBlack pig, Large Black-White pig, Small Meishan) have a higher frequencies of allele G. The association analysis using an experimental population (188 pigs), which included two cross-bred groups and three pure-blood groups, suggested that the SNP genotype was associated with intramuscular fat content.

To develop a value-added product from individually quick-frozen oyster Crassostrea gigas extract (IQFOE), we prepared two types of oyster sauce (OS): bottled OS (BOS) and retort pouched OS (ROS). We investigated processing conditions, quality metrics and flavor compounds in each type of sauce. We found that the most appropriate base formular for both BOS and ROS consisted of 40.0% IQFOE (Brix $30^{\circ}$), 15.0% sugar, 6.0% salt, 4.0% monosodium glutamate, 4.0% soy sauce, 3.5% starch, 3.0% yeast extract, 3.5% wheat flour and 21.0% water. The crude protein, salinity and amino-nitrogen contents of the BOS and ROS were 8.2 and 8.3%, 9.3 and 9.2%, and 539.2 and 535.2 mg/100 g, respectively. In commercial oyster sauces (COS), these values were 4.7-6.5%, 9.7-12.0%, and 244.7-504.2 mg/100 g, respectively. The total free amino acids content of ROS was 7,346.9 mg/100 g, and the main free amino acids were glutamic acid, taurine, proline, glycine and alanine. The inosinic monophosphate (IMP) content of the ROS was 131.6 mg/100 g, and the primary inorganic ions were Na, K, S and P. The present BOS and ROS have favorable organoleptic qualities and storage stability compared with COS, and are suitable for commercialization as high-flavor seasoning sauces.

Using the somatic cell hybrid panel (SCHP) and radiation hybrid (IMpRH) panel, porcine SOCS2 gene was mapped at SSC5 (1/2) q21-q24 and closely linked with SW1383 marker (47 cR in distance), while SOCS3 gene was assigned to SSC12p11-(2/3p13) and closely linked with SW2490 (43 cR). The reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was performed to detect the expression of these two genes in the different tissues and the results showed that both SOCS2 and SOCS3 genes were widely expressed in tissues investigated (heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney skeletal muscle, fat and brain), although some tissues showed lower gene expression. Moreover, SOCS2 and SOCS3 genes had different expression levels at different stages, in different tissues and in different breeds. A G/A substitution, which can be recognized by restriction enzyme of Cfr421, was observed in 5' untranslated region (5'-UTR) of SOCS2 gene. The allele frequencies was investigated by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method and it showed that the allele frequency among Dahuabai, Erhualian, Yushan, Qingping, Large white and Landrace tested were different. Association analysis in a cross experimental populations revealed no significant association between the SOCS2 gene polymorphism and the economic traits investigated. The full-length coding regions (CDs) of porcine SOCS3 gene was obtained by RT-PCR.

Stem cells are unique cell populations with the ability to undergo both self-renewal and differentiation, although a wide variety of adult stem cells as well as embryonic stem cells have been identified and stem cell plasticity has recently been reported. To identify genes implicated in the control of the stem cell state as well as the characteristics of each stem cell line, we analyzed the expression profiles of genes in human embryonic, hematopoietic ($CD34^+$ and $CD133^+$), and mesenchymal stem cells using cDNA microarrays, and identified genes that were differentially expressed in specific stem cell populations. In particular we were able to identify potential hESC signature-like genes that encode transcription factors (TFAP2C and MYCN), an RNA binding protein (IMP-3), and a functionally uncharacterized protein (MAGEA4). The overlapping sets of 22 up-regulated and 141 down-regulated genes identified in this study of three human stem cell types may also provide insight into the developmental mechanisms common to all human stem cells. Furthermore, our comprehensive analyses of gene expression profiles in various adult stem cells may help to identify the genetic pathways involved in self-renewal as well as in multi-lineage specific differentiation.

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the physicochemical characteristics of puffer fish under storage conditions. Free amino acids were identified in the order of taurine > alanine > lysine > leucine > glutamic acid > valine. Glutamic acid, lysine, histidine, arginine, proline, and aspartic acid increased over time and with increased temperature, and valine and tyrosine were affected by temperature. ATP decreased dramatically during 36 h of storage at $4^{\circ}C$, 24 h of storage at $12^{\circ}C$, and 16 h of storage at $20^{\circ}C$. IMP reached its highest level when puffer fish was stored for 36 h at 4 and $12^{\circ}C$ and 24 h at $20^{\circ}C$, and hypoxanthine levels grew steeply at 60 h at $4^{\circ}C$, 24 h at $12^{\circ}C$ and 20 h at $20^{\circ}C$. In terms of K value, the puffer fish was available for sliced raw fish within 60 h at $4^{\circ}C$, 24 h at $12^{\circ}C$ and 12 h at $20^{\circ}C$, and the fish can be taken in after cooking within 72 h at $4^{\circ}C$ and $12^{\circ}C$ and 36 h at $20^{\circ}C$. The physicochemical quality characteristics showed that puffer fish is available for sliced raw fish within 36 h at $4^{\circ}C$, 16 h at $12^{\circ}C$ and 12 h at $20^{\circ}C$, and that the fish can be taken after cooking within 72 h at $4^{\circ}C$ and $12^{\circ}C$ and 36 h at $20^{\circ}C$.

In present paper, we investigated the quality stability of sardine burgers during storage at $-20{\pm}2^{\circ}C$. During frozen storage of sardine burger, the PH were decreased, while volatile basic nitrogen contents were increased. The results of changes in peroxide values, thiobarbituric acid values, fatty acid compositions and color values during frozen storage showed that lipid oxidation and discolorization of antioxidant treated sardine burger and vacuum packed sardine burger could be effectively retarded. The changes in the taste compounds such as free amino acid, nucleotide and their related compounds, total creatinine, betaine and trimethylamine oxide, total amino acids and texture profile analysis of vacuum packed sardine burger were negligible during frozen storage. From the results of sensory evaluation and chemical experiments, the vacuum packed sardine burger could be preserved in good quality during frozen storage of 90 days.
