As the previous report, by the administration of Sogi , Gyrophoraesculenta, to rats, cholesterol levels in liver and plasma were lowered. To know the Characteristics of the effective material contained in Iwatake, the aqueous and the alcoholic extracts were prepared, and these extracts were miked in the diet. After the feeding for 6weeks, cholesterols in liver and in plasma were determined. Either the aqueous or the alcoholic extracts administered groups showed a little low value as to these cholesterol levels compared with the value of group without the extract, but these values of alcoholic extract administered group were lower than those of aqueous extract group. From this result, it was assumed that this effective material would be the organic compound with hydrophilic groups.

To achieve the ideal performances of paint film, resins and hardeners have to be chosen and designed in a proper way depending on the exposure circumstance of substrate and the requested physical properties. Six different kinds of clear paints were made in this experiment using alkyd polyol, polyester polyol, polyester modified acrylic polyol and another 3 acrylic polyol resins whose $T_g$ and OH value were partially modified. Then the tests for chemical, physical, and mechanical properties were measured after forming the paint films using aliphatic and aromatic polyisocyanate. The viscosity and elasticity of paint film were then measured in terms of gel point and $tan{\delta}$ using Rheometer and DMA. Through this viscoelastic characteristic test of polyurethane resin, we were able to choose the adequate resins and hardeners which are the most important in the top and primer painting system of urethane paint and, as a result of observing the physical, mechanical, and chemical properties of paint film by urethane, we have finally reached the conclusion that we could apply the proper polyol to top and primer paint for developing the polyurethane paint system.

The purpose of this study examines the relationship among private brand value, brand trust, brand attitude and brand loyalty. Theoretical studies and the current study indicate that private brand loyalty is influenced by brand value, brand trust, and brand attitude. Through the empirical survey undertaken for this study, it was found that emotional value, social value, functional value, and brand trust including brand attitude influence brand loyalty. The results of empirical analysis can be summarized by the following: First, private brand value had a significant direct effect on brand trust and brand attitude. Second, emotional value and functional value had a positive effect on brand trust and brand attitude. Further, social value had a significant direct effect on brand attitude. And social value had a significant indirect effect on brand attitude through brand trust. Third, brand trust had a significant direct effect on brand attitude. And brand trust had a significant indirect effect on brand loyalty through brand attitude. Fourth, brand attitude had a positive effect on brand loyalty. Therefore, These finding will spawn both academic and practitioner interest in the private brand value and serve as a foundation for further research in this important area.

Evidence of the association between 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) and metabolic syndrome (MeS) remains uncertain and incongruent. This study aimed to determine the association between 25(OH)D and MeS among Jordanian adults. A complex multistage sampling technique was used to select a national population-based household sample. The present report deals exclusively with adults aged > 18 years who had complete information on all components of MeS (n = 3,234). A structured questionnaire was used to collect all relevant information. Anthropometric, clinical, and laboratory measurements were obtained. MeS was defined according to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) definition. Of the total, 42.0% had MeS and 31.7% had 25(OH)D < 30 ng/ml. In a stratified analysis, the prevalence of MeS did not differ significantly between subjects with low and normal 25(OH)D levels for men and women in all age groups. In the multivariate analysis, the odds of MeS were not significantly different between subjects with low and normal 25(OH)D levels (OR = 0.85, 95% CI: 0.70, 1.05, P-value = 0.133). The association between 25(OH)D and MeS remained non-significant when 25(OH)D was analyzed as a continuous variable (OR = 1.004, 95% CI; 1.000, 1.008, P = 0.057) and when analyzed based on quartiles. None of the individual components of MeS were significantly associated with 25(OH)D level. This study does not provide evidence to support the association between 25(OH)D level and MeS or its individual components. Prospective studies are necessary to better determine the roles of 25(OH)D levels in the etiology of MeS.

Measurements of OH chemiluminescence in an atmospheric pressure, laboratory-scale dump combustor at equivalence ratios ranging from 0.63 to 0.89 were reported. The signal from the first electronically excited state of OH to ground state was detected through a band-pass filter with an ICCD. The objectives of this study are two: One is to see the effects of equivalence ratio on global heat release rate and local Rayleigh index distribution. To get the local Rayleigh index distribution, the line-of-sight images were inverted by tomographic method, such as Abel do-convolution. Another aim is to investigate the validity of using OH chemiluminescence acquired with an ICCD as a qualitative measure of local heat release. For constant inlet velocity and temperature, the overall intensities of OH emission acquired at different equivalence ratio showed periodic and higher value at high equivalence ratio. OH intensity averaged over one period of pressure increased exponentially with equivalence ratio. Local Rayleigh index distribution clearly showed the region of amplifying or damping the combustion instability as equivalence ratio increased. It could provide an information/insights on active control such as secondary fuel injection. Finally, local heat release rate derived from reconstructed OH images were presented fur typical locations.

The aim of this study is to evaluate appraiser's consistency and accuracy about pulse diagnosis (PD) in discrimination of eight-constitutions using Gage R&R study. Cumulative numbers of PD for discrimination of eight constitutions of three appraisers' experience were 75,000 cases, 50,000 cases, 1,100 cases, respectively. Three Appraisers diagnosed subject's eight-constitutions by PD with blinded method. Gage R&R study was used to verify the results. In the measurements of consistency, appraiser B (agreement = 80%, Value of k = 0.8276) was very good, appraiser A (agreement = 70%, Value of k = 0.7465) was good, and appraiser C (agreement = 50%, Value of k = 0.5365) was moderate. In the measurements of accuracy, appraiser B (agreement = 70%, Value of k = 0.6812) was good, appraiser A (agreement = 60%, Value of k = 0.6414) was good, and appraiser C (agreement = 0%, Value of k = -0.1000) was poor. The results suggest that accuracy of discrimination of constitutions relatively depend on experience and number of cases of PD. Further large controlled study is needed to evaluate the accuracy of PD.

Detailed field and strain dependence of the critical current and the n-value for an internal-tin processed $Nb_3Sn$ strand have been measured. Both the compressive and tensile strain is applied reversibly using Walter spiral probe made of BeCu up to 0.73 %. There is a correlation between the critical current and the n-value for the $Nb_3Sn$ strand studied in this work and the field dependence of the n-value is in agreement with a recent empirical formula. It was further shown that the critical current can be reasonably well fitted by the scaling law based on strong-coupling theory of superconductivity using the relation between the critical current and the n-value.
