This study was carried out to investigate the characteristics of goat and cow milk yogurts containing high-exopolysaccharide fermented by Streptoccous thermophilus LFG isolated from kefir. The pH of cow milk yogurt was higher than that of goat milk yogurt. The contents of lactic acid was greater in goat milk yogurt (743.9-1043.8 mg/100 g) than in cow milk yogurt (441.6-709.9 mg/100 g). The numbers of survival lactic acid bacteria were the greatest in goat milk yogurt fermented by Str. thermophilus LFG. Viscosity was greater in cow and goat milk yogurts cultured by Str. thermophilus LFG than in yogurts by Str. thermophilus TH3. Syneresis of yogurt fermented by Str. thermophilus LFG was 9.6-16.1% and 28.2-31.8% in yogurt fermented by Str. thermophilus TH3 after 10 d storage at $4^{\circ}C$. Flavor compounds identified from goat milk were acetone, ethylbutanoate, ethyl-3-methylbutyrate, ethyl-2-butenoate and ethylhexanoate, and those from cow milk were ethylbutanoate, acetone, 2-heptanone and acetoin. Flavor compounds detected from goat milk and cow milk yogurts were acetic acid, butanoic acid, butanol, diethylcarbinol, acetone, diacetyl, decane, 2-methyl-3-pentanone, hexanal, 2-heptanone, acetoin, benzaldehyde, dimethyldisulfide, and dimethyltrisulfide. In sensory evaluation, overall preference and texture values were higher in goat milk yogurt fermented by Str. thermophilus LFG than in cow milk yogurts and the yogurt fermented by mixed culture resulted in the highest score.

Enhanced meat is defined as fresh meat that has been minimally processed to improve quality and consistency. The present work investigated the quality of enhanced pork loins manufactured with the extract of red perilla leaves (ERP). ERP was prepared by the aqueous extraction of red perilla leaves followed by lyophilization. Enhanced pork loins were produced by injecting brine (15% v/w). The treatments consisted of a control (brine containing no ERP), ERP 0.2 (brine containing ERP at a concentration of 2 g/kg of pork loin), and ERP 0.4 (brine containing ERP at a concentration of 4 g/kg of pork loin). The enhanced pork loins were stored at $4^{\circ}C$ for 7 d, and its quality parameters were investigated. Addition of ERP decreased the $L^*$-value and increased the $a^*$- and $b^*$-values of enhanced pork loins compared to those of the control group at all storage intervals (p<0.05). A significantly lower pH than that of the control was found in ERP 0.4 after 7 d of storage. The malondialdehyde contents of the cooked pork loins were significantly lower in ERP 0.2 and ERP 0.4 than in those of the control after 4 and 7 d of storage (p<0.05). While ERP 0.4 received relatively low scores in taste, flavor, and overall acceptability of the cooked pork loins (p<0.05), no significant differences were found between the control and ERP 0.2. Enhanced pork loins can be produced using ERP to improve their oxidative stability.

In this study, the wedge splitting tcst (WST) was carried out for the fatigue wack growth behavior of concrete. Selected test variables were concrete compressive strength of 28, 60 and 118 MI%, and stress ratio with 2 levels (6. 13%). In oder to make the designed stress ratio, the maximum and thr minimum fatigue loading level were 75-85% and 5- 10% of ultimate static load, respectively. Fatigue testing was preceded by crack mout.h opening displacement (CMOI)) compliance calibration tcst, and then the fatigue crack growth was computed by crack lcngth vs. (lMOI) compliance relations acquisited by the CMOD compliance calibration technique. To evaluate thc validity of CMOD compliancc calibration techniquc, the crack length p~mlicted by this method was cornpard with the crack length by linear elastic fracture mechanics(LEFIbl) and dyeing test. On the basis of the experimental results, a LRFhl-based c.mpirica1 model for f'at,igue crack growth rate(da/dN-AKI relationships) was presented. The fat,igut. crack growth ratc increased with the strength of concwtc. It appcars that t.he da/tiN-AKI relationships was influenced by stress ratio, however, the effect is diminished with an increase of strength. The comparisons between CblOl) compliance calibration technique anti the other. methods gave the validity of' ('MOD compliance calibration technique for the LZXT.

With the advent of ULSI, many problems in previous metallization techniques and interconnection materials have become more serious. In this work, selective deposition of copper to fill the submicron contact has been tried. After forming electro-deposited copper films on p-type (100) silicon wafer using 0.75M $CuSO_4{\cdot}$5H_2O$ as an electrolyte, the effect of deposition time, current density and concentration of an additive on film properties were investigated. Film thickness, particle size and resistivity were analyzed by Alpha Step, SEM and 4 - point probe measurement respectively. The deposition rate was about $0.5-0.6\mu\textrm{m}$/min at $2A/dm^2$ and the particle size increased with increasing current density. The resistivities of electro-deposited copper films were about $3-6{\mu}{\Omega}{\cdot}$cm for the particle size above $4000{\AA}$. By the addition of 0.2 g/l gelatin, the particle size was reduced to less than $0.1{\mu}m $ and selective plugging of copper on submicron contacts could be successfully achieved.

$TiO_2$ films, thickness of $1{\sim}30{\mu}m$ were deposited on glass substrate at room temperature by room temperature granule spray in vacuum. The starting powder was calcinated at $600^{\circ}C$ for 4 h using $Al_2O_3$ crucible in the furnace. The particle size of the $TiO_2$, $1.5{\mu}m$ was measured by a particle size analyzer. The effect of different process parameters such as number of pass, gas flow rate and feeder voltage was studied. As the number of passes increased, the film thickness increased proportionally due to adequate kinetic energy conserved. The effect of three different flow rates (i.e. 15, 25, and 35 LPM) on deposited film was investigated. As gas flow rate increased, the film thickness increased up to 25 LPM and then decreased. Higher feeder voltage with low flow rate of 15 LPM resulted in unsufficient coating thickness due to insufficient kinetic energy. Microstructure of $TiO_2$ films was investigated by scanning electron microscope and high resolution tramission electron microscope.

In this research, we manufactured the paste opaque porcelains using Propylene Glycol (PG) and Buthylene Glycol (BG) as a solvent, and compared the composition of solvents, the coefficient of thermal expansion, the particle size distribution, the viscosity and bonding strength to metal, and the tone with those of the commercial products(Duceram Plus, Duceram GmbH; VMK 95, Vita Co.; Noritake EX-3, Noritake Co.)used in the clinical field. The results of the research were as follows: 1. The result of solvent analysis indicated that the solvents included in the paste opaque porcelains of the control group were mainly composed of Glycols. 2. From the Coefficient of thermal expansion measurement, we drew out the following results; testing group: $14.0\times10^{-6}/^{\circ}C$, Duceram Plus: $13.9\times10^{-6}/^{\circ}C$, VMK 95: $14.3\times10^{-6}/^{\circ}C$, and Noritake EX-3: $13.3\times10^{-6}/^{\circ}C$. 3. Seen from the result of particle size distribution measurement, the experimental group was similar to the control group in 1$\mu m$ below, but the experimental group marked the highest distribution of 61% in the case of between 1$\mu m$ and 5$\mu m$. Between 5$\mu m$ and 10$\mu m$, they showed relatively similar distribution, and Noritake EX-3 was turned out the highest distribution of 29% in 10$\mu m$ above. 4. From the result of viscosity measurement, Duceram plus showed the highest viscosity throughout all the measurements followed by Noritake Ex-3, experimental group and VMK 95 in decreasing order. 5. The result of bonding strength measurement was EX 35.53 $\beta\acute{A}$, DU 40.88 $\beta\acute{A}$, VM 39.43 $\beta\acute{A}$, and NO 35.39 $\beta\acute{A}$, and no significant difference was found between the experimental group and the control groups(P>0.05). 6. The measurement of the tone indicated that the $L^*$ value of the experimental group was 86.89 0.63 in average, which is higher than the control group in its brightness. In the case of the $a^*$ value, Duceram Plus, VMK 95 and EX-3 showed positive value, whereas the testing group was turned out negative value. In $b^*$ value, Duceram Plus proved the highest. From the results of this research, the paste opaque porcelains using Propylene Glycol (PG) and Buthylene Glycol (BG) as a solvent did not make differences from the commercial products that are actually used in the clinical fields. Therefore, it is possible to utilize Propylene Glycol (PG) and Buthylene Glycol (BG) for the paste opaque porcelains of P.F.M crown. It is also recommended that further researches concerning the compositions and forms of powder, the types of organic solvent components and the ratio of mixture proceeded in order to improve the level of productivity in the future.

PURPOSE. This study was performed to investigate the ability of recombinant human-bone morphogenic protein-2 immobilized on a heparin-grafted bone substrate to enhance the osteoblastic functions. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The Bio-$Oss^{(R)}$, not coated with any material, was used as a control group. In rhBMP-2-Bio-$Oss^{(R)}$ group, rhBMP-2 was coated with Bio-$Oss^{(R)}$ using only deep and dry methods (50 ng/mL, 24 h). In heparinized rhBMP-2-Bio-$Oss^{(R)}$ group, dopamine was anchored to the surface of Bio-$Oss^{(R)}$, and coated with heparin. rhBMP-2 was immobilized onto the heparinized- Bio-$Oss^{(R)}$ surface. The release kinetics of the rhBMP-2-Bio-$Oss^{(R)}$ and heparinized rhBMP-2-Bio-$Oss^{(R)}$ were analyzed using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The biological activities of the MG63 cells on the three groups were investigated via cytotoxicity assay, cell proliferation assay, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) measurement, and calcium deposition determination. Statistical comparisons were carried out by one-way ANOVA test. Differences were considered statistically significant at $^*$P<.05 and $^{**}$P<.001. RESULTS. The heparinized rhBMP-2-Bio-$Oss^{(R)}$ showed more sustained release compared to the rhBMP-2-Bio-$Oss^{(R)}$ over an extended time. In the measurement of the ALP activity, the heparinized group showed a significantly higher ALP activity when compared with the non-heparinized groups (P<.05). The MG63 cells cultivated in the group with rhBMP-2 showed increased calcium deposition, and the MG63 cells from the heparinized group increased more than those that were cultivated in the non-heparinized groups. CONCLUSION. Heparin increased the rhBMP-2 release amount and made sustained release possible, and heparinized Bio-$Oss^{(R)}$ with rhBMP-2 successfully improved the osteoblastic functions.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics and antioxidative effect of Yukwa prepared with Lycii fructus powder (LFP). The Yukwas were stored at $50^{\circ}C$ for 40 days. Yukwa dough prepared with 5% LFP demonstrated higher pH and density value compared to the other groups and control. For color values, as more LFP was added, the L-value decreased, whereas the a-value and b-value increased. The hardness of Yukwa made with 7% LFP was the highest among all samples. The results of a sensory evaluation test showed that Yukwas with 5% LFP was most preferable in terms of overall acceptability compared to the others. The acid, peroxide, and thiobarbituric acid values were lower in Yukwa prepared with 5% LFP compared to Yukwa prepared with 3% or 7% LFP, as well as control Yukwa.

The construction of the road NATM tunnel, which undergoes the weathered zone of the mountain, was in process with the reinforcement methods such as the rock bolt, shotcrete depositing, and the multi step grout with large diameter steel pipe. The collapse from the ceiling, and on the ground surface area(sink hole), of which were measured to be 25m from the ground surface($V=12m(W){\times}14m(L){\times}5m(H)=840m^3$), as well as excessive displacements in the tunnel, had occurred. In order to execute the necessary reconstruction work, the causes of the surface collapses were inspected through the field investigation, in-situ tests, and numerical analysis. As a result, several proper solutions were suggested for both internal and external reinforcements for the tunnel. As a result of numerical analysis, the collapsed zone of the tunnel was reinforced up to 0.5D~1.0D laterally by the cement grouting on the ground surface, 0.5D longitudinally by the multi step grout with large diameter steel pipe in tunnel. With further reinforcement implemented by rebars in lining, the forward horizontal boring was executed to the rest of the tunnel to evaluate the overall status of the tunnel face. Appropriate reinforcement methods were provided if needed.

The purpose of this study firstly was conducted to establish a radioimmunoassay (RIA) of estrone sulfate ($E_1S$), secondly to monitor the reproductive status of dairy cows using their urine samples. Urine and blood samples were collected in series within a day from four pregnant Holstein-friesian cows to evaluate the relationship between $E_1S$ levels in blood and urine with or without urinary creatinine basis. The urine was then collected biweekly from three cows in estrous and those artificially inseminated; collection from pregnant cows was made on a monthly basis. Results indicated that sensitivity for the $E_1S$ RIA was 5 pg/tube and the recovery rate was 100%. The daily urinary creatinine concentrations fluctuated within a day, but changes were slighter in midday, whereas the changes of concentrations of $E_1S$ in urine were relatively smaller. The concentrations of serum $E_1S$ during the estrous cycle were undetectable due to the limitation of assay, but the urinary $E_1S$ level could be measured with no obvious changes during the cycle. The urinary $E_1S$ levels increased remarkably around 7.7 to 8.3 ng/ml, 80 to 100 days after pregnancy but the serum $E_1S$ levels did not elevate until 120 to 150 days. The level of $E_1S$ increased gradually during pregnancy and eventually reached its peak before parturition at around 40 ng/ml and finally decreased to its basal level 2 days postparturition. During pregnancy, $E_1S$ concentrations of urine increased earlier than those in blood. The correlation coefficients between urinary and serum $E_1S$ concentration during pregnancy and postparturm were higher than those adjusted with creatinine (creatinine ratio). The concentrations of $E_1S$ in urine could be maintained unchanged for 8 days storing the samples in room temperature, which was extended to 8 days when the samples were pretreated by boiling for 30 minutes or treated with autoclave. In conclusion urinary $E_1S$ concentrations can be used directly for monitoring the pregnant status and fetal viability of dairy cows and can assist accurate confirmation of pregnancy in cows at least 80 to 100 days after insemination much earlier than by serum $E_1S$.
