  • This study was carried out to find the physico-chemical attributes of yogurt base with Lactobacillus case; 00692 during 72 hr fermentation at $37^{\circ}C$. The pH decreased up to 44 hr and plateaued thereafter, and the titratable acidity increased up to 40 hr. The number of lactic acid bacteria sharply increased with $1.0\times10^7cfu/mL$ up to 48 hr of fermentation and slowly increased thereafter. The free amino acids produced during the fermentation reached the maximum value at 40 hr and gradually decreased thereafter. In the result of electrophoresis, the band was the thickest at 44 hr and mostly disappeared at 72 hr fermentation. The present data showed that the range of optimum fermentation time for yogurt base using Lactobacillus casei 00692 was from 40 to 44 hr.

  • As a serial experiment of radiosterilization of medical products, we investigated the feasibility of using gamma ray to sterilize antibiotics, tetracycline HCl. Tetracycline HCl in aqueous solution and dried state irradiated with several dose levels was assayed for physico-chemical properties by checking UV absorption spectra, paper chromatogrph. IR spectra and NMR sepctra, and antibiotic activities by [means of agar plaque technique and tube $d_1$]ution method. In physico-chemical propertis and biological activities, the teracycline HCl in dried state remained radioresistant up to exposure of 10 Mrad, however, in aqueous solution, the dose of 300 Krad produced a significant inactivation. From the results of this study, radiosterilization of tetracycline HCl is more recommendable in the dried state than in aqueous solution.

  • This study was carried out to find the physico-chemical attributes for liquid-type yogurt with Lactobacillus casei 911LC during 72 hr fermentation at $37^{\circ}C$. The pH decreased up to 32 hr and plauteaued thereafter. The growth of lactic acid bacteria sharply increased with $2.0{\times}\;10^6\;cfu/mL$ up to 40 hr of fermentation and slowly increased thereafter. The free amino acids produced during the fermentation reached the maximum value at 40 hr and gradually decreased thereafter.

  • The purpose of this study is to quantitatively estimate the erosional properties for cohesive sediments on Keum Estuary. Then the spatial variation was evaluated, through analyzing and comparing the seasonal variation of the erosional properties in Keum Estuary with that of the erosional properties in the other sites. As erosional properties of cohesive sediments are also influenced largely by basic physico-chemical property of cohesive sediments themselves, the impact that the basic physico-chemical property has on the erosional properties is analyzed in this study. Erosional tests are performed under the condition of uniform beds. Total 8 times of tests using an annular flume are also conducted in a location, low times respectively by seasons: the fall, winter. Experimental results of erosional tests show that the critical shear stress for erosion varies in the range of $0.12{\sim}0.36N/m^2$ and the coefficient of erosion rate varies in the range of $120.91{\sim}6.72mg/cm^2{\cdot}hr$, over the corresponding bulk-density range $1.15{\sim}1.34g/cm^3$. Although the calculated parameters of erosional properties are remarkably different in quantity compared with those of other cohesive sediments(lake Okeechobee) and Kaolinite, their seasonal variabilities within Keum Estuary appear to be insignificant.

  • Polyoxymethylene copolymer (POM-C) is an attractive and widely used engineering thermoplastic across many industrial sectors owing to outstanding physical, mechanical, self-lubricating and chemical properties. In this research work, the POM-C blocks were irradiated with 1 MeV electron beam energy in five doses (100, 200, 300, 500 and 700 KGy) in vacuum condition at room temperature. The tribological and physico-chemical properties of electron beam irradiated POM-C blocks have been analyzed using Pin on disk tribometer, Raman spectroscopy, SEM-EDS, Optical microscopy, 3D Nano surface profiler system and Contact angle analyzer. Electron beam irradiation at a dose of 100 kGy resulted in a decrease of the friction coefficient and wear loss of POM-C block due to well suited cross-linking, carbonization, free radicals formation and energetic electrons-atoms collisions (physical interaction). It also shows lowest surface roughness and highest water contact angle among all unirradiated and irradiated POM-C blocks. The irradiation doses at 200, 300, 500 and 700 kGy resulted in increase of the friction coefficient as compared to unirradiated POM-C block due to severe chain scission, chemical and physical structural degradation. The electron beam irradiation transferred the wear of unirradiated POM-C block from the abrasive wear, adhesive wear and scraping to mild scraping for the 1 MeV, 100 kGy irradiated POM-C block which is concluded from SEM-EDS and Optical microscopic observations. The degree of improvement for tribological attribute relies on the electron beam irradiation condition (energy and dose rate).

  • Very limited studies have been accomplished concerning the historical structures around Harran area. Collected mortar samples from the historic structures in the area were tested to explore their mechanical, chemical and mineralogical properties. Mortar samples from three different points of each historical structure were taken and specified in accordance with the related standards taking into consideration their mechanical, chemical and mineralogical properties. By means of SEM-EDX the presence of organic fibres and calcite, quartz, plagioclase and muscovite minerals has been examined. Additionally, by means of XRF analysis, oxide ($SiO_2$, $Al_2O_3$, and $Fe_2O_3$) percentages of mortar ingredients have been specified, also. According to the test results obtained, it was confirmed that the mortars had densities ranging between $1.51-2.10g/cm^3$, porosity values ranging between 8.89-35.38% and compressive strengths ranging between 5.02-5.90 MPa. Specimen HU, which has the highest durability and lowest water absorption and porosity, was the mortar taken from the most intact building in the mosque complex. This result is most likely due to the very little fine aggregate content of HU. In contrast, HUC mortars with a small amount of fine particles and brick contents yielded slightly lower compressive strengths. The interesting point of this study is the mineralogical analysis results and especially the presence of ettringite in these historic mortars linked to the use of pozzolanic materials. Survival of these historic structures in Harran Area through centuries of use and, also, having been subjected to many earthquakes can probably be explained by these properties of the mortars.
