In order to investigate heating rate of commercial milk products in korean market, lactulose content and availability of calcium and ascorbic acid were measured. The pH range for raw and commercial milk was 6.5-6.75, and protein content was 2.5-3.13%. The acid degree value (。SH)showed between 5.3 and 7.1. There were no differences in pH, protein and acid degree among 3 types of milk. The portion ionic Ca content in UHT-milk(32.4%) and pasteurized milk (27%) increased significantly in comparison with raw milk (4.6%). Pasteurization led to loss of 20% ascorbic acid, and losses of UHT-treatment are approximately twice as high. Significant differences of lactulose content between UHT milk and pasteurized milk were observed. Some of UHT milk products showed very high value of lactulose content like sterilized milk. It is well known that the stress caused by indirect UHT treatment is slightly higher compared with the direct process. The results in this experiment suggested that most of UHT milk in korean market may be treated by indirect UHT method. In oder to keep the adventages of milk component, the heating methods of milk have to be reconsidered.

We have investigated thermal properties showed by changing the content of carbon black which is the component parts of semiconductive shield in underground power transmission cable. Specimens were made of sheet with the nine of those for measurement. Heat capacity (${\Delta}$H), glass transition temperature (Tg) and melting temperature (Tm) were measured by DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry). The ranges of measurement temperature were from -100($^{\circ}C$) to 100($^{\circ}C$), and heating rate was 4($^{\circ}C$/min). And then thermal diffusivity was measured by LFA 447. The dimension of measurement temperature was 25[$^{\circ}C$]. Glass transition temperature of specimens was showed near -25[$^{\circ}C$] and the heat capacity and the melting temperature from the DSC results were simultaneously decreased according to increasing the content of carbon black, while thermal diffusivity was increased according to increasing the content of carbon black. Because ionic impurities of carbon black having Fe, Co, Mn, Al and Zn are rapidly passed kinetic energy increasing the number of times breaking during the unit time with the near particles according to increasing vibration of particles by the applied heat energy.

Among various fuel cells, solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) offer the highest energy efficiency, when taking into account the thermal recycling of waste heat at high temperature. However, the highest efficiency and lowest pollution for a SOFC can be achieved through the sophisticated control of its constituent components such as electrodes, electrolytes, interconnects and sealing materials. The electrochemical conversion efficiency of a SOFC is particularly dependent upon the performance of its electrode materials. The electrode materials should meet highly stringent requirements to optimize cell performance. In particular, both mass and charge transport should easily occur simultaneously through the electrode structure. Matter transport or charge transport is critically related to the configuration and spatial disposition of the three constituent phases of a composite electrode, which are the ionic conducting phase, electronic conducting phase, and the pores. The current work places special emphasis on the quantification of this complex microstructure of composite electrodes. Digitized images are exploited in order to obtain the quantitative microstructural information, i.e., the size distributions and interconnectivities of each constituent component. This work reports regarding zirconia-based composite electrodes.

For the purpose of applying to micro-actuator, thermal properties and displacement of electrostrictive polyurethane(PU) elastomers have been measured. In order to understand an effect of PU component, crosslinking agent are controlled by 0.5 wt% and 1 wt%. DMPA and anther chain extenders were used. PU sample that chain extenders are DMPA is added NaOH for comprehension of effect of ionic groups. The deposited electrode sire on PU films is equal to acrylic holder size when the displacement was measured. Dynamic response according to frequency, displacement and recovery time according to PU thickness were measured. 1 wt% crosslinking agent contents PU samples have higher displacement and lower recovery time than 0.5 wt% crosslinking agent contents PU. If the PU thickness is increased, the actuating voltage for generating of same displacement is increased, too.

Tobacco, which has nicotine for its main component, has been in medical use for a long time and in great demand for smoking throughout the world. The purpose of this study is to control nicotine amount and to increase yield more efficiently by the method of systematic variations. Nutrient solutions for tobacco culture were designed and prepared in 10 kinds with mineral ions: $NO_{3^-},\;SO_{4^{--},\;PO_4{^{-3},\;K,{^+}\;Ca,{^{++}\;Mg,{^{++}$, Mn, B, Cu, Zn, Mo, and Fe. Nicotiana tabacum L. Yellow Special A, grown for 50days from sowing, was replanted in plastic pot and cultured for 65 days supplying with prepared nutrient solutions. After harvest, their nicotine amount was determined by means of acid-base titrimetry and gas chromatography. The tobacco plants in KCa 4 and KMg 9 groups demonstrated the highest yield in total leaves weight and KMg 7 group in average nicotine amount. They have shown the increase of nicotine amount from lower leaf to 16th leaf, and thereafter decreased gradually. The author also pursued the optimum ionic proportions for the absolute nicotine amount in tobacco by means of systematic variations method.

Distribution of the antigens during the cell cycle of amoebae was followed by immunof-luorescence microscopy using a monoclonal antibody against the nucleus as a probe. While the cells were in the interphase, the antigen was localized on the nucleus membrane. But it was dispersed all over the cytoplasm during mitosis and cytokinesis. The molecular weights of the immunoreacted antigens were 210 KD and 190 KD as determined by SDS PAGE and western blotting of the purified nuclei. The antigens were not soluble in non-ionic detergent, but were released from the nucleus by incubation with 0.05 M sodium carbonate, pH 10.6 or with 8 M urea at serial chemical extraction. Thus the antigens appeared to be peripheral proteins of the nurBeus envelope. The isoelectic point of both antigens was 7.64 as determined by 2 D PAGE and transfer blotting. Considering the peiipherd association with the nucleus membrane and the dispersed distribution during mitosis, the antigens could be lamin like proteins. Hourever, it appears also possible that they are the component molecules of the unusually structured aurous lamina of amoeba nucleus since they have the large molecular weight and the basic pl.

A comprehensive simulation model for the transport process of fully coupled moisture and multi-species in non-saturated concrete structures is proposed. The governing equations of moisture and ion diffusion are formulated based on Fick's law and the Nernst-Planck equation, respectively. The governing equations are modified by explicitly including the coupling terms corresponding to the coupled mechanisms. The ionic interaction-induced electrostatic potential is described by electroneutrality condition. The model takes into account the two-way coupled effect of moisture diffusion and ion transport in concrete. The coupling parameters are evaluated based on the available experimental data and incorporated in the governing equations. Differing from previous researches, the material parameters related to moisture diffusion and ion transport in concrete are considered not to be constant numbers and characterized by the material models that account for the concrete mix design parameters and age of concrete. Then, the material models are included in the numerical analysis and the governing equations are solved by using finite element method. The numerical results obtained from the present model agree very well with available test data. Thus, the model can predict satisfactorily the ingress of deicing salts into non-saturated concrete.

To evaluate the non-ionic polymer, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), as a component in cationic copolymers for non-viral gene delivery systems, PEG was coupled to polyethylenimine (PEI). We present the effects of different degrees and shapes of pegylation of PEI on cytotoxicity, water solubility and transfection efficiency. This work reports the synthesis and characterization of a series of cationic copolymers on the basis of the conjugates of PEI with PEG. The modified molecules were significantly less toxic than the original polymer. Moreover, the chemical modification led to enhancement of their solubility. The comparison of pegylated PEIs with different degrees of derivation showed that all the polymers tested reached comparable levels of transgene expression to that of native PEI. As assessed by agarose gel electrophoresis, even highly substituted PEI derivatives were still able to form polyionic complexes with DNA. However, aside from an increase in solubility and retention of the ability to condense DNA, methoxy-PEG-modified PEIs resulted in a significant decrease in the transfection activity of the DNA complexes. In fact, the efficiency of the copolymer was compromised even at a low degree of modification suggesting that the PEG action resulting from its shape is important for efficient gene transfer. The mode of PEG grafting and the degree of modification influenced the transfection efficiency of PEI.
