  • Objective: The aim of this study is to characterize the impact of additional electrical stimulation (AES) and various pre-rigor holding temperatures (for 3 h) on the ageing-potential of hot boned bovine M. longissimus lumborum (LL). Methods: Paired LL loins from 12 bulls were hot-boned within 40 min of slaughter, immediate AES applied and subjected to various holding temperatures (5℃, 15℃, 25℃, and 35℃) for 3 h. Results: AES did not accelerate the rate of rigor attainment, but the 3 h pre-rigor holding temperature did. Shear force values decreased as the pre-rigor holding temperatures increased. AES and holding for 3 h (at 25℃) resulted in higher water-holding capacity. Conclusion: Data confirmed that AES did not influence the various meat quality parameters in the present study, but pre-rigor holding temperature (25℃) alone or in combination with AES resulted in superior meat quality.

  • This study consists of an analysis of pre-existing ceiling construction systems as well as the development of a replacement unitary, lightweight steel ceiling system and related legal standards. Based on the material conditions and progression of the study, appropriate components were chosen and details were modified by mock-up test. A final study model was evaluated for performance and adaptability based on four parameters (indoor environment, constructability, budget economy, and aesthetics) and compared to the pre-existing ceiling system. As a result of the initial study, a lightweight steel design was created consisting of a reinforced structure with modular bars and entry holes for components. This system was hung directly on the suspension structure. The new design increased lighting and acoustic performance adapted to an indoor environment. Moreover, the speed of construction was increased by approximately 30%, the cost was decreased by approximately 20%, and ceiling aesthetics were improved.

  • Experimental work was performed on the flow characteristics of R-22 and R-l34a in small diameter tubes. The experimental apparatus was made up of liquid pump, pre-heater, sight-glass, condenser and measurement instruments. The sight-glass for flow pattern observations was located at the outlet of the pre-heater. The experiment was carried out to show the flow characteristics of R-22 and R-l34a. Data were taken with test conditions in the following ranges; the mass flux was ranged from 100 to 1,000 kg/$m^2s$, the saturation temperature was $30^{\circ}C$ and the vapor quality was ranged from 0.1 to 0.9. The main results were summarized as follows; In the flow patterns during evaporation, the annular flow in a 2 mm inner diameter tube occurred at a relatively lower quality and mass velocity, compared to the flow in a 8mm inner diameter tube. The evaporation flow in small diameter tubes has been shown major deviations with the Mandhane, Taitel-Dukler's and Wambs-ganss' flow pattern maps but it was similar to the Dobson's flow pattern map.

  • A pre/post processor program based GUI(Graphic User Interface) by using the MFC and OpenGL library in the Windows OS have been developed for the analysis of the passenger flow. Using this program, users are able to generate and modify the meshes of multi-storied subway station, set all the parameters for the solver, and obtain the results of the simulation such as transient passenger motions and passenger streak lines in 3-dimensional graphic view.

  • The aging process induces a plethora of changes in the body including alterations in hormonal regulation and metabolism in various organs including the heart. Aging is associated with marked increase in the vulnerability of the heart to ischemia-reperfusion injury. Furthermore, it significantly hampers the development of adaptive response to various forms of conditioning stimuli (pre/post/remote conditioning). Aging significantly impairs the activation of signaling pathways that mediate preconditioning-induced cardioprotection. It possibly impairs the uptake and release of adenosine, decreases the number of adenosine transporter sites and down-regulates the transcription of adenosine receptors in the myocardium to attenuate adenosine-mediated cardioprotection. Furthermore, aging decreases the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma co-activator 1-alpha ($PGC-1{\alpha}$) and subsequent transcription of catalase enzyme which subsequently increases the oxidative stress and decreases the responsiveness to preconditioning stimuli in the senescent diabetic hearts. In addition, in the aged rat hearts, the conditioning stimulus fails to phosphorylate Akt kinase that is required for mediating cardioprotective signaling in the heart. Moreover, aging increases the concentration of $Na^+$ and $K^+$, connexin expression and caveolin abundance in the myocardium and increases the susceptibility to ischemia-reperfusion injury. In addition, aging also reduces the responsiveness to conditioning stimuli possibly due to reduced kinase signaling and reduced STAT-3 phosphorylation. However, aging is associated with an increase in MKP-1 phosphorylation, which dephosphorylates (deactivates) mitogen activated protein kinase that is involved in cardioprotective signaling. The present review describes aging as one of the major confounding factors in attenuating remote ischemic preconditioning-induced cardioprotection along with the possible mechanisms.

  • The aim of this paper is to investigate the application of solar energy in reducing cabin thermal load. When a vehicle is parked under the sun in summer, the interior temperature can reach up to $70^{\circ}C$ depending on the solar intensity. Solar power, one of the green energies, is used in automobile air conditioning systems, in order to operate the blower. The power supply of a blower's voltage has been used in a solar sunroof experiment. At the climate wind tunnel, cabin temperature changes were conducted with various operating modes of an air handling system and the preventilation parking conditions of several vehicles, outdoors, was also examined. The test results of the solar sunroof, 39.3W power and 14.1% efficiency were obtained. The thermal load behavior was analysed with the air handling system operating mode differently according to the cabin temperature. By simply operating the blower, average cabin temperature decreased between $5^{\circ}C{\sim}10^{\circ}C$ in those vehicles parked outdoors in summer. This reveals that cabin thermal comfort can be improved without consuming the vehicle's extra energy, and that the performance of the air-conditioning system is better than those currently found in vehicles. Moreover, fuel economy will be increased as a result of the reduction in the use of the air-conditioning system, and many other human advantages will be gained. Such advantages include minimized VOCs and a healthy cabin environment.

  • 식물세포의 장기보존방법 연구를 위하여 참당귀(Angelica gigas Nakai) 현탁세포를 이용하여 동결보존을 수행하였다. 최적의 예비성장배지로는 0.7 M sucrose를 첨가하여 6일간 배양한 것이 가장 좋았으며, 동결보호제로는 1 M sucrose, 1 M glycerol, 1 M DMSO를 혼합하여 사용하였을 때 가장 좋은 결과를 나타내었다. 동결 시에는 처음 8시간 동안 deep freezer에서 천천히 냉동을 한 후 액체질소에 넣는 것이 가장 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 여러 가지 삼투압 증진제를 사용한 실험을 수행한 결과 sucrose가 가장 좋은 결과를 나타내었는데 이것은 sucrose가 삼투압 증진제 역할뿐만 아니라 cell membrane을 보호하기 때문으로 사료된다.

  • The heat transfer and pressure drop of supercritical $CO_2$ cooled in a helically coiled tube was investigated experimentally. The experiments were conducted without oil in the refrigerant loop. The experimental apparatus of the refrigerant loop consist of receiver, a variable speed pump, a mass flowmeter, a pre-heater, a gas cooler(test section) and an isothermal tank. The test section is a helically coiled tube in tube counter flow heat exchanger with $CO_2$ flowed inside the inner tube and coolant( water) flowed along the outside annular passage, It was made of it copper tube with the inner diameter of 4.55[mm]. the outer diameter of 6.35 [mm] and length of 10000 [mm]. The refrigerant mass fluxes were $200^{\sim}600$ [kg/m2s] and the inlet pressure of gas cooler varied from 7.5 [MPa] to 10.0 [MPa]. The main results are summarized as follows : The heat transfer coefficient of supercritical $CO_2$ increases, as the cooling pressure of gas cooler decreases. And the heat transfer coefficient increases with the increase of the refrigerant mass flux. The pressure drop decreases in increase of the gas cooler pressure and increases with increase the refrigerant mass flux.
