In order to obtain basic data on the shelf life of Epimedii Herba (EH), a physicochemical characteristics including weight loss rate, loss on drying, ash, acid-insoluble ash, and quantitative determination were evaluated to compare the data by packaging methods including general (G), general + silica gel (GS), alumium (AL), and alumium + silica gel (ALS) packaging and storage periods (0-66 months). All physicochemical analyzes were conducted using the method of "The Korean Pharmacopoeia (KP) 9^th edition". As a result, weight loss rate (%), loss on drying (%), ash (%), acid-insoluble ash (%) of EH according to the packaging methods and storage periods were -0.27-4.73%, 3.06-9.35%, 5.48-7.37%, and 0.45-0.99, respectively. In the quantitative analysis of icariin, the marker compound of EH using high-performance liquid chromatography, the initial content was 0.44% at 0 month in all packaging methods. After that, the result of analyzing the content of icariin every 6 months was detected 0.44-1.18%. All of the above results satisfied the acceptance criteria for loss on drying, ash, acid-insoluble ash, and quantification contained in the KP. This study can be used as a basic data for establishing the packaging method and shelf life of EH.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the suitability of the released water (RW) method for measuring water-holding capacity (WHC) by pressure and filter-paper absorption within two thin plastic films. One hundred fifty pork loins with considerable variations in WHC (three pork qualities: PSE, pale, soft, and exudative; RFN, reddish-pink, firm, and nonexudative; and DFD, dark, firm, and dry; 50 pork loins in each pork quality group) were used to measure drip loss (DL)% and RW % after applying different loads (1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 and 3.5 kg). Percentages of DL and RW were significantly (p<0.05) different among pork quality groups. The RW % of 2.5 kg load sample was significantly (p<0.05) higher than that of 2.0 kg or 1.5 kg load sample. However, there were no significant (p>0.05) differences in RW % among 2.5 kg, 3.0 kg, and 3.5 kg load samples for all three pork quality groups. The RW % was highly and positively correlated (r>0.95; p<0.001) with DL %. The highest correlation was observed between DL % and RW % of 2.5 kg load sample (r=0.97; p<0.001). Among all RW loads within each quality groups, the highest correlation between DL % and RW % was observed for 2.5 kg load sample (r=0.43, 0.66, and 0.46 for PSE, RFN and DFD quality groups, respectively, p<0.001). These results imply that applying 2.5 kg load is the best for determination of RW %. It is recommended as a reference method to assess DL % of pork muscles.

A study on the thermal stability of commonly used six fillers, such as titanium dioxide, silica, ground calcium carbonate, zeolite, and, clay, showed that most fillers except titanium dioxide were strongly effected by heat treatment. Therefore, the present methods for determination of ash in paper give weight loss due to thermal decomposition of fillers. It was found that a paper ashing method at a temperature of 40$0^{\circ}C$ allows most fillers in their original and undecomposed from. Results presented in this paper also show that X-ray diffraction can be used for qualitative determination of mixed fillers and coating pigments in a paper sheet.

Infrared has been used in determination of water in magnesium metaphosphate glasses. The method consisted of measuring the weight loss and the variation in absorption coefficient at 3, 200$cm^{-1}$. The molar absorptivity of water in magnesium metaphophate glasses was found to 76.9ι$mol^{-1} cm^{-1}$ Using the value for $\varepsilon$, A and Δ$\upsilon$H of the hydroxyl band in the spectra of magnesium metaphosphate. The molar absorptivity of the hydroxyl absorption band at 3, 3130-2, $925cm^{-1}$ in the spectra of MgO.$P_2O_5$ system glasses could be computed. And a variation of molar absorptivity against the MgO/P2O5 ratio has not been shown regulation.

By the activation of environment-friendly river works, application of vegetation mats is increasing, however, evaluation techniques for hydraulic stability of vegetation mats are not presented. This study is conducted to develop the objective test method for vegetation mats. Two kind of vegetation mats are tested by the real scale experiments, and hydraulic quantities are measured and analyzed to evaluate acting shear stresses. To evaluate soil loss, Terrestrial 3D LiDAR measurement is conducted and soil loss index are calculated from changes of bed elevation. Quantified evaluation for permissible shear stresses is conducted by graphical method for acting shear stresses and soil loss index. By the results of precision survey, changes of sub soil are limited to local range in stable cases and relatively large changes of sub soil which is similar to natural river bed are detected in unstable cases. From the study, evaluation of permissible shear stresses by ASTM D 6040 is avaliable in the failure mechanism and failure criteria by soil loss index.

One of the most important issues in the area of clinical trial research is the determination of the sample size required to insure a specified power in detecting a real or clinically relevant difference of a stated magnitude. Increasingly, medical journals are requiring authors to provide information on the sample size needed to detect a given difference. We restrict our attention to the designs far comparirng two survival distributions. These are concerned with the survival time which is defined as the interval from a baseline(e.g. randomization) to failure (e.g. death, recurrence of disease). Survival times axe right censored when patients have not foiled by the time of analysis or have been loss to follow-up during the trial. For different types of clinical trials for comparing survival distributions, there have been marry research in sample size determination. We review the existing literature concerning commonly used sample size formulae in the design of randomized clinical trials, and compare the assumption, the power and the sample size calculation of these methods. We also compare by simulation the expected power and observed power of each method under various circumstances. As a result, guidelines in terms of practical usage are provided.

The precise prediction of the performance is essential to develope the system at the development of propulsion system since no experimental data are available. The accuracy of 1on the total system's performance as well as itself, which depends on how the correction fac $I_{sp}$, and so on, are determined in accurate. However some of the design factors are dete engineer's experience or the similar test data if they are available, so far. This study was the method of the determination of correction factors of both $I_{sp}$ and thrust in direct. The bas is to define the detail performance loss mechanism of solid rocket motors, might be occurre and to calculate in quantitative those correction factors from the performance loss mechanism the test results, the model of this study can predict those factors less than 1% error, in additi physical variances of each loss mechanism.

A prediction model is proposed to describe the path loss in propagation environment of indoor microcell. This model includes the lineal corridor for line--of-sight(LOS) and T-shaped corridor for non-line-of-sight(NLOS). In computation of receiving power the ray tracing technique based on image method is utilized and also reflected waves bounced on the walls and ceilings are considered. To check validity of the computed resuls cross checks between the predicted and measured are being made, which shows a close agreement for LOS case whereas somewhat disagreement for NLOS case. UTD technique is incorporated with propagation path determination algorithm in the treatment of NLOS case.

The loss of ascorbic acid in dried red pepper leaves prepare with different drying methods of air-, oven-, microwave oven-, and vacuum drying with blanching or without was determined by a HPLC method. Vacuum drying showed the least loss of ascorbic acid than the other drying methods. Additionally, the feasibility of near infrared reflectance spectroscopy(NIRS) to determine the contents of ascorbic acid in the red pepper leaves was studied. NIRS was found to be an efficient way of determining ascorbic acid contents in red pepper leaves, requiring only 30 seconds of an analytical time.

This paper presents a chaotic neural networks to solve the distribution feeder reconfiguration problem for loss reduction. Feeder reconfiguration problem is the determination of switching option that minimizes the power losses for a particular set of loads in distribution systems. A chaotic neural networks is used to determine the switching combinations, select the status of the switches, and find the best combination of switches for minimum loss. The proposed method has been tested on 32 bus system, and the results indicate that it is able to determine the appropriate switching options for optimal configuration.
