This study investigates methyl orange (MO) degradation by an ultrasonically dispersed nano-metallic particle (NMP) assisted advanced Fenton process. The NMPs were synthesized from the leachate of automobile-shredder residue. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy were performed for the prepared NMPs. Various parameters, such as the effects of the NMP dosage, the pH value of the solution, the initial concentration of MO, and the amount of $H_2O_2$ on the degradation efficiency of MO were studied. The MO degradation efficiency could be increased by approximately 100% by increasing the dosages of the NMPs and $H_2O_2$ to certain limits, after which in both cases the degradation efficiency was reduced when an excess amount was added. The MO degradation efficiency was found to be 100% at pH 2.0 and 2.5 with the 10 mg/L of initial concentration of the MO. The degradation of MO by ultrasonically dispersed NMPs was appropriate with the pseudo-first-order kinetics.

Four Korean kernel fruit (apple, pear, persimmon, and mandarin orange) juices were obtained by household processing techniques (i.e., blending, juicing). Whole and flesh fractions of each fruit were extracted by a blender or a juicer and then examined for phytochemical content (i.e., organic acids, polyphenol compounds). The antioxidant capacity of each juice was determined by ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assays. Results revealed that juices that had been prepared by blending whole fruits had stronger antioxidant activities and contained larger amounts of phenolic compounds than juices that had been prepared by juicing the flesh fraction of the fruit. However, the concentration of ascorbic acid in apple, pear, and mandarin orange juices was significantly (P<0.05) higher in juice that had been processed by juicing, rather than blending. The juices with the highest ascorbic acid (233.9 mg/serving), total polyphenols (862.3 mg gallic acid equivalents/serving), and flavonoids (295.1 mg quercetin equivalents/serving) concentrations were blended persimmon juice, blended mandarin orange juice, and juiced apple juice, respectively. These results indicate that juice extraction techniques significantly (P<0.05) influences the phytochemical levels and antioxidant capacity of fruit juices.

The principal objective of this study was to assess the effects of the addition of natural plant materials on the color and lipid oxidation of ground pork. Ground pork was blended with 0.3% (w/w) of cactus, fennel seed, orange peel, and rosemary, respectively, and stored for 8 days at $2^{\circ}C$. The pH, meat color, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) values, and metmyoglobin (MetMb) contents were measured. A gradual increase in pH was noted with increases in the storage time. The Hunter a (redness) value decreased until 6 days of storage, and evidenced no noticeable changes there after, and the cactus evidenced significantly higher a values than other groups over time (p<0.05). The TBARS formation was effectively inhibited by the addition of rosemary for 6 days of storage, reflective of strong antioxidative activity (p<0.05). The antioxidative activity on the lipid oxidation of cooked pork patties was noted in the following order: rosemary, fennel seed, cactus, and orange peel. The MetMb contents increased according to storage period, and no significant differences were noted among the meat patties.

A stacked white organic light-emitting diode (OLED) having a blue/orange emitting layer was fabricated by synthesizing nitro-DPVT, a new derivative of the blue-emitting material DPVBi on the market. The white-emission of the two-wavelength type was successfully obtained by using both nitro-DPVT for blue~emitting material, orange emission as a host material and Rubrene for orange emission as a guest material. The basic structure of the fabricated white OLED is glass/ITO/NPB$(200{\AA})$/nitro-DPVT$(100{\AA})$/nitro-DPVT:$Rubrene(100{\AA})/BCP(70{\AA})/Alq_3(150{\AA})/Al(600{\AA})$. To evaluate the. characteristics of the devices, firstly, we varied the doping concentrations of fluorescent dye Rubrene from 0.5 % to 0.8 % to 1.3 % to 1.5 % to 3.0 % by weight. A nearly pure white-emission was obtained in CIE coordinates of (0.3259, 0.3395) when the doping concentration of Rubrene was 1.3 % at an applied voltage of 18 V. Secondly, we varied the thickness of the NPB layer from $150{\AA}\;to\;200{\AA}\;to\;250{\AA}\;to\;300{\AA}$ by fixing doping with of Rubrene at 1.3 %. A nearly pure white-emission was also obtained in CIE coordinates of (0.3304, 0.3473) when the NPB layer was $250-{\AA}$ thick at an applied voltage of 16 V. The two devices started to operate at 4 V and to emit light at 4.5 V. The external quantum efficiency was above 0.4 % when almost all of the current was injected.

The extraction efficiency of orange-yellow pigment from the Gardenia was greatly depended upon the extraction time, extraction temperature, volume of solvent used and fat contents of the Gardenia. From the experimental results, the amounts of extracted pigment (P) was proportional to the $log\;t^{\;1{\cdot}15}$ of extraction time$(t;\;0{\sim}60\;min.)$, the $log\;T^{3{\cdot}73}$ of extraction temperature$(T;\;5{\sim}60^{\circ}C)$, the $log\;S^{3{\cdot}7}$ of volume of solvent$(S;\;5{\sim}50\;ml)$, and the -4X of fat contexts of sample $(X;\;0{\sim}0.\;15)$ at $18^{\circ}C$ for 10 minutes. Finally, the modified empirical equation was derived as follow; $P{\simeq}1.15\;log\;t+3.73\;log\;T+3.7\;log\;S-4X-6.4$ In addition to that, the most optimum conditions of pigment extraction were determined as 30 minutes of operation time, $40^{\circ}C$ of temperature. Deffated Gardenia was more productive than natural Gardenia in the pigment extraction.
