In order to investigate the compression and decompression properties of cucumber, radish, garlic, ginger and potato, edible parts of samples were prepared to size of ${\Phi}\;5\;mm{\times}H\;5\;mm$, and force deformation relationship during application and removal of force were observed. Compositions of sample and cell characteristics were measured, and correlations between them were investigated. Deformation rate was large in initial stage of compression and decreased afterward, but the reverse trends were observed in the decompression. The time and deformation to 9 N were large of 5.30 sec and 1.344 mm in potato, and small of 4.62 sec and 0.896 mm in garlic, respectively. Force(y)-deformation(x) curve between compression and decompression were clearly showed hysteresis loop and relationship of x and y were as follows: y=esp (a+b log(x)). The maximum work was $3.888{\sim}5.099{\times}10^{-3}\;J$ for potato in compression and $2.09{\times}10^{-3}\;J$ for garlic in decompression. Irrecoverable work were large as $77{\sim}96%$ in cucumber, radish and potato, and small as $36{\sim}42%$ in garlic. Compression deformation were large as $1.016{\sim}1.344\;mm$ in potato, and small as $0.656{\sim}0.896\;mm$ in garlic. Degree of elasticity were large as $0.756{\sim}0.777$ in garlic, and small as $0.301{\sim}0.465$ in radish and potato. Compression and decompression characteristic values were showed high correlation with moisture, viscosity of juice, ceil size, density and regularity.

To develop the manufacturing method of ice cream with microbiologically safe and proper sensory quality using irradiation for sensitive consumer, 3 different flavors, which were resistant to their flavors against irradiation, were selected and used for ice cream manufacturing to reduce the irradiation-induced off-flavor problem. The general composition was not different among treatments. Total aerobic bacteria were detected as 2.38, 1.23, 1.38, and 1.15 log CFU/g level in ice cream with control(no flavor added), spearmint, mint, and citrus flavor, respectively. No viable cells were observed by irradiation at 1 kGy except for the control. Sensory evaluation indicated that the irradiated ice cream with spearmint flavor at 1 kGy and citrus flavor at 3 kGy had higher overall acceptability. Therefore, a low dose irradiation (less than 3 kGy) with mint or citrus flavors may enhance the safety of ice cream with proper sensory quality for sensitive consumer.

Viral safety is an important prerequisite for clinical preparations of all biopharmaceuticals derived from plasma, cell lines, or tissues of human or animal origin. To ensure the safety, implementation of multiple viral clearance (inactivation and/or removal) steps has been highly recommended for manufacturing of biopharmaceuticals. Of the possible viral clearance strategies, Ultraviolet-C (UVC) irradiation has been known as an effective viral inactivating method. However it has been dismissed by biopharmaceutical industry as a result of the potential for protein damage and the difficulty in delivering uniform doses. Recently a continuous flow UVC reactor (UVivatec) was developed to provide highly efficient mixing and maximize virus exposure to the UV light. In order to investigate the effectiveness of UVivatec to inactivate viruses without causing significant protein damage, the feasibility of the UVC irradiation process was studied with a commercial therapeutic protein. Recovery yield in the optimized condition of $3,000\;J/m^2$ irradiation was more than 98%. The efficacy and robustness of the UVC reactor was evaluated with regard to the inactivation of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis A virus (HAV), bovine herpes virus (BHV), bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), porcine parvovirus (PPV), bovine parvovirus (BPV), minute virus of mice (MVM), reovirus type 3 (REO), and bovine parainfluenza virus type 3 (BPIV). Non enveloped viruses (HAV, PPV, BPV, MVM, and REO) were completely inactivated to undetectable levels by $3,000\;J/m^2$ irradiation. Enveloped viruses such as HIV, BVDV, and BPIV were completely inactivated to undetectable levels. However BHV was incompletely inactivated with slight residual infectivity remaining even after $3,000\;J/m^2$ irradiation. The log reduction factors achieved by UVC irradiation were ${\geq}3.89$ for HIV, ${\geq}5.27$ for HAV, 5.29 for BHV, ${\geq}5.96$ for BVDV, ${\geq}4.37$ for PPV, ${\geq}3.55$ for BPV, ${\geq}3.51$ for MVM, ${\geq}4.20$ for REO, and ${\geq}4.15$ for BPIV. These results indicate that UVC irradiation using UVivatec was very effective and robust in inactivating all the viruses tested.

In this study, the photocurrent (PC) spectroscopy of undoped p-type CIS layers has been investigated at temperatures ranging from 10 to 293 K. Three peaks, A, B, and C, corresponded to the intrinsic transition from the valence band states off $\Gamma_7$(A), $\Gamma_6$(B), and $\Gamma_7$(C) to the conduction band state $\Gamma_6$, respectively. The crystal field splitting and the spin orbit splitting were found at 0.0059 and 0.2301 eV, respectively, and the temperature dependence of the optical band gap could be expressed by using the empirical equation $E_g$(T) = $E_g$(0) - $(8.57\times10^{-4)T^2$/(T + 129). But the behavior of the PC was different from that generally observed in other semiconductors: the PC intensities decreased with decreasing temperature. From the relation of log $J_{ph}$ vs 1/T, where $J_{ph}$ is the PC density, the dominant level was observed at the higher temperatures. We suggest that in undoped p-type CIS layers, the trapping center limits the PC signal due to native defects and impurities with decreasing temperature.

The tempering behavoirs of 0.45% carbon steel treated by automatic progressive high frequency induction hardening equipment have been investigated. In order to examine the correlation of hardness with both tempering temperature and time, simple regression analysis has been made using the statistical quality control package. The maximum surface hardness value of induction hardened zone and its effective hardening depth have been determined to be Hv 810 and 0.76mm, respectively. The hardness obtained after tempering has been shown to vary lineary with tempering time at six different temperatures. The activation energies during tempering have been calculated to be 25.34kcal/mole, 32.73kcal/mole and 49.24kcal/mole for HRcs 60, 50 and 40, respectively, showing that tempering process occurs by a complex mechanism, The tempering hardness equation of $H=90.113{\sim}4.531{\times}10^{-3}$ [T(11.996+log t)] has proved to be in a reasonably good agreement with experimently determined data and it is also expected to be useful for the determination of tempering treatment conditions to obtain a required hardness value.

Complexation of ortho-xylyl-17-crown-5 (X17C5) with alkali metal ions in acetonitrile was studied by 7Li and 23Na NMR spectroscopy. The complex formation constants of X17C5 with LiI, LiSCN, NaI, and NaSCN were determined by investigating the changes in the chemical shifts as a function of the concentration ratio of X17C5 to metal ion. It was found that X17C5 forms 1:1 complex with Li+ and Na+ ions and the log Kf's for the complexation with LiI, LiSCN, NaI, and NaSCN were determined to be 2.88, 2.43, 2.53, and 2.30, respectively. In particular, the kinetics of complexation of X17C5 with Na+ was investigated by the method of 23Na NMR lineshape analysis. Activation energies were determined from Arrhenius plot of the resultant rate constant data to be 25.4 kJ/mol for NaI and 15.1 kJ/mol for NaSCN. Other kinetic parameters were also calculated by employing the Eyring equation. The decomplexation rates measured were 1.82 × 104 M-1s-1 for NaI and 1.50 × 104 M-1s-1 for NaSCN. It is concluded that the decomplexation mechanism is predominantly a bimolecular cation exchange for both cases.

This study is carried out to investigate performance differences between two alarm presentation methods from the viewpoint of human factors and to provide items to be improved. One of the alarm display methods considered in this study displays alarm lists on VDT combined with hardwired alarm panels. The other method displays alarms on plant mimic diagrams of VDT. This alarm display method has other features for operator aid with which operator can get detailed information on the activated alarm in the mimic diagrams, and the capability for alarm processing such as alarm reduction and prioritization. To compare the twodisplay methods, a human factor experiment was performed with a plant simulator in the ITF(Integrated Test Fcility) that plant operators run for 4 event scenarios. During the experiment, physiological measurements, system and operator action log, and audio/video recordings were collected. Operators' subjective opinion was collected as well after the experiment. Time, error rate and situation awareness were major human factor criteria used for the comparison during the analysis stage of the experiment. No statistical significance was found in the results of our statistical comparison analysis. Several findings were identified, however, through the analysis of subjective opinions.

$CdIn_2S_4$ (110) films were grown on semi-insulating GaAs (100) by a hot wall epitaxy method. Using photocurrent (PC) measurement, the PC spectra in the temperature range of 30 and 10 K appeared as three peaks in the short wavelength region. It was found that three peaks, A-, B-, and C-excitons, correspond to the intrinsic transition from the valence band states of ${\Gamma}_4(z),\;{\Gamma}_5(x),\;and\;{\Gamma}_5(y)$ to the exciton below the conduction band state of ${\Gamma}_1(s)$, respectively. The 0.122 eV crystal field splitting and the 0.017 eV spin orbit splitting were obtained. Thus, the temperature dependence of the optical band gap obtained from the PC measurement was well described by $E_g$(T)=2.7116eV - $(7.65{\times}10^{-4}\;eV/K)T^2$/(425+T). But, the behavior of the PC was different from that generally observed in other semiconductors. The PC intensities decreased with decreasing temperature. This phenomenon had ever been reported at a PC experiment on the bulk crystals grown by the Bridgman method. From the relation of log $J_{ph}$ vs 1/T, where $J_{ph}$ is the PC density, two dominant levels were observed, one at high temperatures and the other at low temperatures. Consequently, the trapping centers due to native defects in the $CdIn_2S_4$ film were suggested to be the causes of the decrease in the PC signal with decreasing temperature.

This study was performed to evaluate change of lipid oxidation, microbes, and color of chicken meat containing 6, 8, and 10% of water uptake rate(WUR) during cold storage. pH of chicken containing 6, 8, and 10% of WUR showed 6.00, 6.04, and 6.05%, at day 3, respectively. Lightness($L^*$) of chicken containing 6, 8, and 10% of WUR was 73.40, 75.27, and 75.31, at day 3, respectively. Redness($a^*$) of chicken with 10% of WUR was 2.52, which was the highest value, while no difference was found between chicken with 6 and 8% of WUR. Yellowness($b^*$) of chicken containing 6, 8, and 10% of WUR was 4.31, 4.33, and 4.36. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances(TBARS) value of chicken containing 6, 8, and 10% of WUR was 0.107, 0.104, and 0.113 mg malondialdehyde/kg meat. The higher WUR, the higher TBARS value was shown. Total microbial number of chicken with 6, 8, and 10% of WUR was 4.04, 4.12, and 4.56 $log\;CFU/cm^2$ at day 3. E. coli of chicken with 6, 8, and 10% of WUR was 0.93, 1.40, and 1.28 $log\;CFU/cm^2$. From this result high WUR increases $L^*$ value, TBARS, and microbes of chicken meat during storage. Therefore, lower WUR would be beneficial to extend shelf life of chicken meat during storage.
