A comparison was made of the effect of different packaging materials on storability of mixed sprout vegetables (alfalfa, broccoli, cabbage, radish, and red radish) stored at $8^{\circ}C$. They were packaged by several kinds of films that were 50 fm thickness low-density polyethylene film (PE 50), 50 fm thickness polypropylene film (PP 50), $50{\mu}m$ thickness ceramic film (CE 50), $25{\mu}m$ thickness ceramic film (CE 25), $10\sim13{\mu}m$ thickness polyethylene film (wrap), and polyethylene terephthalate box with ventilation hole (box). The fresh weight of mixed sprouts packaged with different materials decreased below to 2% except box packages that decreased around 7% compared with initial weight. The atmospheres that were developed inside the different materials during storage differed significantly. The carbon dioxide and oxygen concentration of packages were kept properly with 5% in CE 25, but the PE 50 and CE 50 treatments showed higher carbon dioxide and lower oxygen concentration. So the off-flavor of mixed sprouts was more severe in the PE 50 and CE 50 treatment. The ethylene concentration of packages showed lowest in box treatment, followed by PP 50, wrap and CE 25 treatment. The overall quality of mixed sprouts was lower in PE 50 and CE 50 than CE 25 treatment after 10 days storage, supposed to be resulted from highest ethylene concentration and lowest oxygen concentration. Conclusionally, the CE 25 film that showed below 1% fresh weight loss, 5% carbon dioxide, 5% oxygen and below 4 ppm ethylene concentration in package may be a proper packaging material for mixed sprout vegetables.

Surface phytoplankton biomass was measured at approxinately one month intervals from July 1986 to August 1987. There was a peak phytoplankton biomass in the very low salinity region during summer and autumn when river discharge was low. The peak biomass occurred independent of the tidal state, location of nutrient input, nutrient concentration and temperature. The peak biomass are probably caused by the hydrodynamic trapping, density-seletive retention of particles by esturarine circulation.

The aerosol pyrolysis technique was introduced to prepare the spherical phosphors for enhancing low-voltage phosphor efficiency. The density, the shape, and the crystallinity of phosphors were controlled by thermal decomposition temperature and phosphor annealing condition. The particle size was adjusted by the precursor concentration and reactor pressure. It was fond that the efficiency of phosphors synthesized in this work was superior to the commercial products at the low-voltage excitation by 1.5 times and the screen efficiency was also higher than that of any value reported in literature.

Ag925, silver with added copper, is popular alloy due to its low price. However, it has a difficult to use because of the low corrosion resistance. In various alloys, neodymium (Nd) works as an element to improve corrosion resistance by reacting with interstitial elements in the alloy. When 1.5 wt. % Neodymium was added to Ag925, the potential on the activated polarization in a potentiodynamic polarization test was increased from -0.15 V to -0.05 V. Ag925 with added neodymium showed the passivation after activation polarization. But When the potential increased around 50 mV, the current density is increased to 3 × 10-3. Ag925 with the 1.5 wt. % Nd had the low corrosion rate.

An increase in serum cholesterol is directly associated with high incidences of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and atherosclerosis. Serum lipid profiles are highly dependent on dietary fatty acids and age. The purpose of this study was to examine the age-related effects of polyunsaturated/saturated fatty acid ratios and antioxidant supplementation under the control of the dietary peroxidizability index (PI) value on serum lipid profiles in rats. While the PI level of dietary fatty acids was controlled at 81.22, the P/S ratios of fatty acids were 0.38 and 4.81 (LP and HP). The diets were supplemented with a vitamin E 1000 mg/kg diet and a selenium 2.5 mg/kg diet (LPS and HPS). Female Sprague-Dawley rats ages 3 weeks (young) and 16 weeks (adult) were fed four different experimental diets for 4 weeks. The serum triglyceride concentration of LPS was significantly higher in young rats than in adult rats. The total-cholesterol concentration of LP and HPS were higher in young rats than in adult rats. The high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) concentration of LP, LPS and HP was higher in adult rats than in young rats. The low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) concentration was higher in young rats than in adult rats. T-C/HDL-C and LDL-C/HDL-C ratios were much higher in young rats than in adult rats. In conclusion, P/S ratios and antioxidant supplementation did not affect T-C/HDL-C and LDL-C/HDL-C ratios as risk factors of CVD in adult rats when we controlled the PI value in the diet Probably, the invisible and confounding effects of dietary PI value implicate the beneficial roles of dietary P/S ratios and antioxidants in CVD. Accordingly, controlling the dietary PI value may be advantageous to lower the risk of CVD in adult rats.

A modified amidolytic assay and a fibrin plate method were used to accurately measure the concentration of single chain urokinase type plasminogen activator (scu-PA) and two-chain urokinase type plasminogen activator (tc-PA) in the spent media. $1.65{\times}10^6$(viable cells/ml) of maximum cell density and 1670(IU/ml) of scu-PA concentration were obtained in 1% serum containing medium. The overall conversion ratio from scu-PA to tc-PA was less than 10%. In the results of batch cultivation in a spinner vessel, $4.43{\times}10^6(total cells/ml)$ of maximum cell density and 1560(IU/ml) of scu-PA concentration was observed. The maximum scu-PA concentration and specific scu-PA Productivity were obtained in 1760(IU/ml) and $3.13{\times}10^{-4}(IU/cell)$, respectively, from perfusion cultivation. The conveysion ratios from batch, fed-batch and perfusion cultivations were less than 12%, which means that about 90% of scu-PA secreted from the cells can be maintained during the cultivations.

The effect of cupric ion concentration on the throwing power has been studied in the electrodeposition of Cu on the porous reticular electrodes with the electrolytes of $CuSO_4\;and\;H_2SO_4$. Sulfuric acid electrolytes with lower concentration of $CuSO_4$ improved throwing power in electrodeposition of copper not only due to higher cathodic polarizability but also due to higher conductivity of the electrolytes. The increase in conductivity of the electrolytes at low concentration of $CuSO_4$ could be also illustrated by the decrease in viscosity of the electrolytes. It was found that both the throwing power and the limiting current density should be taken into account in the electrodeposition of Cu on the reticular electrodes. According to the experimental results, the electrolyte of 0.2M $CuSO_4$ and 0.5M $H_2SO_4$ was found to be the most appropriate condition at the current density of $10mA/cm^2$.

For effective power generation with fuel cells in low-oxygen environments such as submarines and unmanned underwater vehicles, a hydrogen source which has a high hydrogen storage density is required. Diesel fuel is easy to storage and supply due to its liquid phase and it has a high density per unit volume and unit mass of hydrogen that required for driving the fuel cells. In this paper, diesel fuel was selected as a hydrogen source for driving the fuel cell in oxygen lean environments. In addition, the aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution was suggested as an alternative oxidant for hydrogen production through the diesel reforming reaction because of its high oxygen density and liquid phase which makes it easy to storage. In order to determine the characteristics of hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant of diesel reforming, comparative experiments were conducted and it was found that hydrogen peroxide solution has the same characteristics when reformed with oxidants of both steam and oxygen. Moreover, the commercial diesel reforming performances were analyzed according to the reaction temperature and concentration of aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution. Then, through the 49 hours accelerated degradation tests, the possibility of hydrogen production via diesel and aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution was confirmed.

Fabrication of porous silicon(PS) double layer by electrochemical etching is the first step in process of ultrathin solar cell using PS layer transfer process. The porosity of the porous silicon layer can be controlled by regulating the formation parameters such as current density and HF concentration. PS layer is fabricated by electrochemical etching in a chemical mixture of HF and ethanol. For electrochemical etching, highly boron doped (100) oriented monocrystalline Si substrates was used. Ths resistivity of silicon is $0.01-0.02\;{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$. The solution composition for electrochemical etching was HF (40%) : $C_2H_5OH$(99 %) : $H_2O$ = 1 : 1 : 2 (by volume). In order to fabricate porous silicon double layer, current density was switched. By switching current density from low to high level, a high-porosity layer was fabricated beneath a low-porosity layer. Etching time affects only the depth of porous silicon layer.
