Sulgiduk is a typical Korean rice cake made by steaming rice powder with syrup and salt added. This study has measured moisture content, water activity, color, texture, and sensory evaluation of sulgiduk when persimmon leaves Powder was added. The material use\ulcorner was sulgiduk to which the 0% (C), l% (S$_1$), 2% (S$_2$), 3% (S$_3$), and 4% (S$_4$) of persimmon leaves powder were added. The moisture content of the raw rice powder for making sulgiduk was 32.40%, and that of the rice powder with syrup added was 37.97%-37.46%. The moisture content of the produced sulgiduk was 38.98%-37.93%, and the water activity was 0.97. In chromatic characteristics. the product had L value: of 73.86-59.16, a value of -2.86~-1.79 and b value: of 19.25-23.13. The texture charicteristics such as hardness, fracturability, gumminess, cohesiveness, chewiness and elasticity were not affected significantly by the persimmon leaves powder. In sensory evaluation. color, flavor, astringency, bitterness and overall quality were adversely affected with statistical significance(p＜001) by the addition of persimmon leaves. The juiciness and softness were also decreased as the persimmon leaves powder increased. In conclusion, it is recommended to add 1-2% of persimmon leaves powder to sulgiduk.

Bio-secure culture of olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus in the IBK (Intensive Bioproduction Korean) recirculating system with dry pellet was tested for 6 months. The IBK system consists of 12 rearing tanks, 6 sedimentation tanks. 4-sectioned submerged biofilter chamber and channels. The size of each rearing tank was 3m in diameter and 1m in depth. The size of each biofilter chamber was $3.1\times3.3\times2.0$ m (D) and was filled with corrugated plastic plates as a biofilter medium. Total surface area of the biofilter was 3,789.7 $m^2$ Water was circulated by one of two vertical axial pump and circulating rate was about 34 times per day. A UV light sterilizer was used to treat inlet sea water with the flow rate of 4 ton/hr. All fish were treated with 150 ppm formalin 3 times with 5 day interval before stocking. It took 60 days for 'conditioning' the biofilter with the stocking density of 4.5 kg of fish $m^2$. The concentrations of ammonium-nitrogen, nitrite-nitrogen and nitrate-nitrogen in the system remained at the range of 0.096-0.315 mg/L, 0.015-0.504 mg/L, and 2.530-39.517 mg/L, respectively. Water temperature fluctuated from 17.5 to 25.1$^{\circ}C$ and salinity was from 30.1 to 33.5 ppt during rearing period. The fish grew from the average weight of 615.2 g to 1,201.1 g for 180 days. Initial and final fish densities were 8.4 and 15.9$kg/m^2$, Survival rate was 97.1 %. Neither parasites nor noticeable diseases was observed during the raring period even Vibrio spp. were detected from some fish in the system.

the vector, pGUR19, for Rhizobium gene manipulation, was constructed by combining the replication and mobilization function of indigenous multicopy plasmid from Acacia(Robinia pseudoacacia L.) Rhizobia sp86 with E. coli cloning vehicle, pBR322. The vector could be efficiently mobilized by RP4 tra function incorporated into chromosome of E. coli named SM10 and efficiently transferred to various gram negative hosts including Rhizobium and Afrobacterium by transformation. Mobilization frequency of the constructed vector was ranged from $1.2\times 10^{-2}$ (E.coli HB 101) to $4.6\times 10^{-4}$ (A. tumefaciens 15955) and transformation frequency was ranged from $5.4\times 10^{-7}$(E. coli HB101) to $1.2\times 10^{-10}$ (A. tumefaciens 15955). The vector, pGUR19, was stably replicated and maintained in a variety of Rhizobium and Agrobacterium.

For the induction motor and inverter type motor design, prediction and analysis of core loss including higher harmonics have been studied. In this work, we have generated two symmetrical ac minor loop in the fundamental hysteresis loop whose positions are zero induction region and saturation induction region, and we could pre-dict core loss including higher harmonics inductions. using the following modified superposition principle; $P_c(B_0,f_0,B_h,nf_0)=P_c(B_0,f_0)+(n-1)[K_1(B_0)P_{cL}(B_h,nf_0)+(1-k_1(B_0))P_{cH}(B_h,nf_0)].$Using this equation we could also analyze core losses including higher harmonic induction under different maximum magnetic induction, different amplitude of higher harmonic induction with different harmonic frequencies.

In this study, the International Maritime Organization (IMO)'s guideline MEPC. 277 (64) was developed and evaluated for the removal efficiency of T-N in a SBR and MBR combined process. This combined process of resized equipment based on large capacity water treatment device for a protection of marine aquatic life. In this experiment, T-N concentration of influent and effluent was measured through with the artificial wastewater. The SBR reactor operation time was varied according to the C : N : P ratios so that different conditions for mixing and aeration period in mins (90 : 60, 80 : 40, 70 : 50) and two C: N: P ratios (10 : 5 : 3, 10 : 3 : 1) were used. During experiment in the reactor's aeration and anoxic tank DO concentrations were 3 mg/L and 0.2 mg/L respectively. Furthermore, in the reactor MLSS concentration was 2000 mg/L and flowrate was 2 L/hr. Experiment results showed that C : N : P, 10 : 3 : 1 ratio with 90 mins mixing and 60 mins aeration maximized removal efficiency at 97.3% T-N as compared to other conditions. The application of the SBR and MBR combined process showed efficient results.

This study evaluated the effects of culture conditions, including carbon and nitrogen sources, L-monosodium glutamate (MSG), and initial pH, on gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) production by Lactobacillus brevis HYE1 isolated from kimchi, a Korean traditional fermented food. L. brevis HYE1 was screened by the production analysis of GABA and genetic analysis of the glutamate decarboxylase gene, resulting in 14.64 mM GABA after 48 h of cultivation in MRS medium containing 1% (w/v) MSG. In order to increase GABA production by L. brevis HYE1, the effects of carbon and nitrogen sources on GABA production were preliminarily investigated via one-factor-at-a-time optimization strategy. As the results, 2% maltose and 3% tryptone were determined to produce 17.93 mM GABA in modified MRS medium with 1% (w/v) MSG. In addition, the optimal MSG concentration and initial pH were determined to be 1% and 5.0, respectively, resulting in production of 18.97 mM GABA. Thereafter, response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to determine the optimal conditions of the above four factors. The results indicate that pH was the most significant factor for GABA production. The optimal culture conditions for maximum GABA production were also determined to be 2.14% (w/v) maltose, 4.01% (w/v) tryptone, 2.38% (w/v) MSG, and an initial pH of 4.74. In these conditions, GABA production by L. brevis HYE1 was predicted to be 21.44 mM using the RSM model. The experiment was performed under these optimized conditions, resulting in GABA production of 18.76 mM. These results show that the predicted and experimental values of GABA production are in good agreement.

We analyzed the formation of phytoplankton community and the occurences of odorus compound from benthic cyanobacteria in North, South Han-River, Paldang-Lake and Kyeongan-Stream sediments. Sediments were incubated in different water temperature. Akinetes were found (0~500 cells/g) with the highest number on sediment in Yangsoo railroad bridge (YC). The result showed that Anabaena ranged between $0.02{\sim}0.53{\times}10^3cells/mL$ in Sambong (SB), YC, Mukhyen-Stream (MS), Paldang-Lake (P2) and Kyeongan-Stream (KK). The total 68 taxa of phytoplankton were observed during the incubation period. A standing crop of phytoplankton was in the range of $0.13{\sim}8.97{\times}10^3cells/mL$ and Microcystis appeared in SB, YC, P2 and KK sites with $20{\sim}25^{\circ}C$ temperature. In South Han-River (P3), Oscillatoria tenuis was dominant at $25^{\circ}C$ temperature. The concentration of geosmin was the highest in SB-$15^{\circ}C$ (25.5 ng/L), and the concentration of 2-MIB was the highest in P3-$25^{\circ}C$ (286.8 ng/L). Odorous compounds were detected in all the temperature conditions from each site. Our results indicate that the dominant benthic cyanobacteria (O. tenuis, O. limosa, Phormidium tenue and Pseudanabaena limnetica) have high correlation with the occurrence odorous compounds and 2-MIB.

A sensitive method for the determination of trace copper(II) after the preconcentration by adsorbing its cupferron complex onto microcrystalline benzophenone was developed.Several experimental conditions such as the pH of sample solution,concentration of cupferron, amount of benzophenone and atirring time were optimized. Trace compper(II) in 100mL solution was chelated with $3.0\;{\times}\;10^3$ M cupferron at pH 5.0. After 0.20g benzophenone, The benzophenone adsorbing Cu-cupferron complex was filtered and then Cu-cupferron complex was desorbed in 10 mL ethanol. Copper was determined by a flame atomic absorption spectrophotomethry. The interfering effects of diverse concomitant ions were investigated. Fe(III) interfered seriously with, but the interference by Fe(III) was completely eliminated by adjusting the concentration of copferron to $5.0\;{\times}\;10^3$ M. The detection limit of this method was 8.6${\times}$10 M(5.5 ngmL$^1$). Recoveries of 97% and 96% were obtained for Cu(II) in a stream water and a brass sample, respectively. Based on the results from the experiment. this proposed technique could be applied to the determination of copper(II) in real samples.
