Potatoes, Irish cobbler, were subject to quality evaluation from the physiological and physicochemical points of view during storage under different temperatures and relative humidities for 11 months. Quality criteria were sprouting, rotting, weight changes, moisture, total sugar, reducing sugar and vitamin C. Low temperature condition(LT, 2∼4$^{\circ}C$, 80% RH) was enough to preserve Potatoes for 11 months, but it was indicated to be limitations that the increase in reducig sugar as well as sprouting by about 3.3 to 6.7% occurred from the 3rd month of storage. Meanwhile, pit temperature(PT, 3∼15$^{\circ}C$, 75∼85% RH), room temperature(RT, 7∼17$^{\circ}C$, 80∼95% RH) and ambient temperature(AT, 2∼25$^{\circ}C$, 62∼72 RH) were shown infeasible conditions for the storage of potatoes mainly due to the increase In sprouting-rate and subsequent quality-loss after 3 months of storage. Based on the results, it proposed that more economical conditions, ranging 10 to 15$^{\circ}C$ and about 80% RH following sprout inhibition treatment should be used for the long-term storage of potatoes.

Objectives: To establish the expiration date of herbal decoction pouch, the change in antimicrobial activities was measured according to storage temperature and period. Methods: Five herbal formulas, Gyeji-tang, Jakyakgamcho-tang, Saengmaek-san, Paljung-san, and Dangguisu-san, with antimicrobial activity were selected from 51 herbal formulas commonly used in traditional Korean medical institutions. Five herbal formula decoction pouches were prepared and stored at room temperature (RT) or 4℃ from 0 to 12 weeks to evaluate the antimicrobial activity against Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytogenes, or Vibrio parahaemolyticus. The antimicrobial activities were evaluated by the disk diffusion method (disk size: 10 mm). Results: The decoction pouches of Gyeji-tang and Jakyakgamcho-tang maintained antimicrobial activity against V. parahaemolyticus from week 0 (14 mm) to week 12 (14 mm) at both temperatures. Saengmaek-san pouch had antimicrobial activities against V. parahaemolyticus and B. cereus from week 0 (19 mm and 20 mm) to week 12 (both 18 mm), respectively. At RT and 4℃, the antimicrobial activity of Paljung-san pouch was maintained week 0 (17 mm) to week 12 (both 13 mm) against B. cereus. Against L. monocytogenes, the antimicrobial activity of Dangguisu-san pouch showed 27 mm at week 0 and 23 mm (RT) and 24 mm (4℃) at week 12, respectively. Conclusion: According to increase of the storage duration, the antimicrobial activities of 5 herbal formula decoction pouches decreased slightly but remained up to 12 weeks. These results can be used as important data to establish the expiration date of herbal formula decoction pouches.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the stability of a decoction using three herbal plants and their major components according to the storage conditions and periods. Materials and Methods: A three-herb mixture (1:1:1) of Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fischer, Artemisia capillaris Thunberg, and Poncirus trifoliata Rafinesqui was decocted and kept at room temperature ($25{\pm}2^{\circ}C$) or cold temperature ($4^{\circ}C$) for 0, 2, 4 or 8 weeks in liquid form in a plastic pack under dark conditions. At time points given, they were lyophilized. 200 mg of powdered samples were dissolved in 1 mL of 90% methanol and then applied to a high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) with glycyrrhizin, 6,7-dimethoxycoumarin or poncirin for quantitative or qualitative analysis. Results: There were no gross changes in HPTLC-based compositional band-patterns of the three herbal mixture according to the storage conditions and period. The major components of each herb, glycyrrhizin, 6,7-dimethoxycoumarin and poncirin, showed slight time-dependent reduction in their contents both at room and cold temperature for 8 weeks. Conclusion: We could conclude that the current herbal decoction is generally safe for the stability at both RT or CT for at least 8 weeks. Nevertheless, we proposed that further advanced studies are required for more multiple herbal mixtures and longer storage periods.

Although various automated CBC analyzers with different WBC analytical principles were consequently introduced to clinical laboratory, the specific information concerning the suitability or unsuitability of aging samples is scarce. For this reason, we studied the effect of storage duration and temperature on CBC parameter in SE-9000 (SYSMEX Medical Electronics Co., Ltd., Kobe, Japan), automated CBC analyzer. We tested 32 K3-EDTA specimens with SE-9000 during 72 hours. Specimens were kept at room temperature (RT) and refrigerated and were analyzed at 0 hr, 4 hr, 8 hr, 24 hr, 48 hr and 72 hr after the collection of the specimens. The percentage changes from initial value for each parameters were calculated. Among the CBC parameters, hemoglobin, red blood cell count, mean corpuscular hemoglobin and platelets were stable for the study period at both temperatures. The mean corpuscular volume (MCV), hematocrit (Hct) and red cell distribution (RDW) increased and the mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) decreased over time at room temperature. These parameters were stable when refrigerated. The leukocyte count was stable during 72hr at RT and when refrigerated. At room temperature, the relative percentages of neutrophils tend to increase, whereas those of lymphocyte and monocytes tend to decrease after 48 hours. When refrigerated, those of neutrophils and monocytes tend to increase, whereas those of lymphocytes tend to decreased over time. CBC parameters of refrigerated specimen were reliable for 72 hr for the exception of differential count from 24 hr but many CBC parameters, such as MCV, Hct, MCHC, RDW and differential count of leukocyte of blood stored at room temperature for 24 hr were unreliable.

대수층 축열 시스템(ATES)의 효율은 지중에 저장된 열 사이의 간섭에 의해 결정이 되며, 열 간섭에 영향을 미치는 요인들은 시추공 간 이격거리, 대수층의 수리 전도도, 주입/양수량 등이 있다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 지하수-지열 거동 모델링을 통하여 열 간섭이 일어나는 현상과 열 간섭이 시스템 효율에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 모델링 결과로부터 이격거리는 작을수록 그리고 대수층의 수리전도도와 주입/양수량은 클수록 열 간섭이 잘 일어나는 것을 확인하였고, 열 간섭 계수가 1일 때는 시스템 효율이 상대적으로 크게 낮아지고, 열 간섭 계수가 1 미만일 때는 변화가 미미한 것을 확인하였다. ATES 를 이용한 냉난방 시스템을 시공 하고 있는 안성 연구지역에 대한 장기 예측 모델링을 수행 하였다. 모델링 결과 이격거리가 80 m 이고, 주입/양수량이 100 $m^3/day$ 일 때, 시스템 가동 7년경과 뒤 여름철과 겨울철에 계산된 시스템 효율은 각각 36 RT 와 31 RT 로 나타났다. 따라서 주입/양수량을 100 $m^3/day$로 했을 때, 냉난방 대상건물의 필요 부하인 20 RT 를 충분히 충족할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This study was carried out to investigate the qualities of Saururus chinensis Baill. rhizomes and it content of active ingredient accenting to the storage methods. As the storage period increased the rates of weight loss, rotten rhizomes and the number of sprouts increased. Refrigerator storage resulted in the lowest weight reduction and sprouts rates, while storage in soil-filled box in a store-house was most effective in reducing spoilage rate. Five lignans from rhizome were determined by HPLC Retention time ranged $18{\sim}36$ minutes and showed saucernetin sauchinone, manassantin A, saucerneol D, and manassantin B in that order. Regardless of storage methods, the lignan content was lower after 120 days than after 30 days of storage, and increased manassantin B, manassantin A, saucernetin sauchinone, and saucerneol D in that order.

Stability deterioration of AKD emulsion was studied with respect of the physical change of emulsion particles and the chemical change of AKD itself. Four kinds of commercial emulsions were kept at RT, 40, 50, and $60^{\circ}C$ water bath, respectively. Viscosity, particle size distribution, and solid contents of the emulsions were measured with storage time. At the same time, by performing NMR and IR spectroscopy analysis of the solvent-extracted AKD from the emulsions, the qualitative and quantitative information about the deformation of the AKD itself were obtained. AKD was gradually hydrolyzed to become dialkylketone and higher storage temperature accelerated destabilization of the AKD emulsions.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the suitability of polydeoxyribonucleotides (PDRN) as a storage medium for avulsed teeth. Materials and Methods: The viability of human periodontal ligament (PDL) cells stored in Hank's balanced salt solution and PDRN solutions (concentrations, 10, 25, 50, and 100 ㎍/mL) and tap water was measured using the Cell Counting Kit-8 and Live/Dead assays. In addition, Nitric oxide detection and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) were performed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of PDRN. Results: The viability of PDL cells stored in a 100 ㎍/mL PDRN solution was significantly higher than that of cells stored in the other solutions (p < 0.01). Furthermore, cells stored in 100 ㎍/mL PDRN solution demonstrated a significantly reduced NO production (p < 0.0001), and cells stored in 50 and 100 ㎍/mL PDRN solutions expressed significantly lower levels of tumor necrosis factor α, interleukin (IL) -4, IL-6, and IL-10 (p < 0.01) compared to cells stored in HBSS. Conclusion: The PDRN solution exhibited cell-preserving and anti-inflammatory effects on the PDL cells. The findings of this study can serve as a basis for further experiments directed at the development of an effective storage medium for avulsed teeth.

Recently, n-InZnO/p-CuO oxide diode has attracted great attention due to possible application for selector device of 3-dimensional cross-point resistive memory structures. To investigate the detailed properties of InZnO (IZO), we have deposited IZO films on the fused quartz substrate using PLD (pulsed laser deposition) method at oxygen pressure of 1~100 mTorr and substrate temperature of RT$\sim600^{\circ}C$. The influence of oxygen pressure and substrate temperature on structural, optical and electrical of IZO films is analyzed using XRD (x-ray diffraction), SEM (scanning electron microscopy), UV-Vis spectrophotometry, spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) and hall measurements. The XRD results shows that the deposited thin films are polycrystalline over $300^{\circ}C$ of substrate temperature independent of oxygen pressure. The resistivity of films was increased as oxygen pressure and substrate temperature decrease. The thickness and optical constants of the deposited films measured with UV-Vis spectrophotometer were also compared with those of broken SEM and SE results.
