Electrothermal-Hollow Cathode Glow Discharge Spectrometry (Et-HCGDS) has been constructed in our laboratory for in-situ monitoring of traceble amounts of rare earth elements and actinides. Et-HCGDS is the portable glow discharge system that can perform the trace analysis of elements. The main structural design of Et-HCGDS was based upon the electrothermal heating and glow discharge techniques. More details on Et-HCGDS are available elsewhere. In this study, air was used as a flow gas for the glow discharge system. As a result, the emission spectra of air were collected and the assignment of air emission lines was performed with helps of pure nitrogen and oxygen emission spectra and previously published results. We found that the emission lines of air plasma were mainly due to nitrogen molecules. This paper includes the complete assignments of the air emission lines observed by using Et-HCGDS. Also, this study will be an useful reference for spectrochemical anaysis including air analysis.

A survey aiming to find out the chemical and textural properties of commercial fermented soy bean curd called sufu was conducted. Sixteen brands of plain sufu produced in the Northern or the Southern part of China were collected and examined for their crude protein, crude fat, texture profiles, free amino acids, and free fatty acid contents. Twenty-one free amino acids were extracted and derivatized using a commercial kit followed by separation and analyzed by the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Similarly, ten free fatty acids were extracted using alumina, eluted, separated and analyzed. The content ranges of crude fat and protein were 22~36% and 31~38%, respectively. In texture profile analysis, ranges of the texture parameters were 131~493 g (hardness), 0.4~0.5 (cohesiveness), -137 to -50 gs (adhesiveness), 0.6~1 (springiness), 47~220 g (gumminess) and 32~177 g (chewiness). Twenty-one different free amino acids, especially alanine, glycine, $\alpha$-aminobutyric acid, valine, leucine, allo-isoleucine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid and lysine in large amount, as well as ten fatty acids in total, notably linoleic acid (9-octadecanoic acid), oleic acid (9,12-octadecadienoic acid), linolenic acid (9,12,15-octadecadienoic acid), hexadecanoic acid and octadecanoic acid were found. This information provides important quality reference ranges for product developers and manufacturers to optimize and produce the plain sufu.

A curd yogurt was prepared from milk added with skim milk powder or four kinds of starch such as rice starch, wheat starch, corn starch and potato starch. The effects of starch addition at 2%(w/v) level on acid production by lactic acid bacteria in milk was investigated. The effects of starch addition on quality of curd yogurt in terms of apparent viscosity, sensory property and volatile aroma compounds were also examined. Addition of starch markedly stimulated the acid production by lactic acid bacteria. Among four organisms tested, Lactobacillus jugurti produced the highest amount of acid. Apparent viscosity of curd yogurt added with starch was significantly higher than that of control. Curd yogurt fermented with L. jugurti showed pseudoplastic and thixotropic characteristics. Sensory property of curd yogurt added with corn starch or rice starch was evaluated as slightly better than reference sample, but that with potato starch was evaluated as the worst among all samples. Acetaldehyde, acetone, ethanol and butanol were detected by gas chromatographic analysis.

The present paper studies how to calibrate hydrometer using image process. The method aligns particular scales of hydrometer selected for calibrating the hydrometer with the horizontal plane of the reference liquid automatically without man's operation. Major parts composing the system are CCD camera, frame grabber, stepping motor and image process program. The image process program is composed of a part that locates the meniscus and aligns it with a scale and a part that controls the step motor. To verify the performance of the developed method, this study compares the meniscus and scale observed directly with the naked eye with the result of calibration by the manual calibration method. The differences between the corrections were less than $0.004\;kg/m^3$ with uncertainty of $0.06\;kg/m^3$. These showed that the calibration results of the developed hydrometer calibration using image process nearly equal to manual method.

Tropical forests play a critical role in mitigating climate change, and therefore, an accurate and precise estimation of tropical forest carbon (C) is needed. However, there are many uncertainties associated with C stock estimation in a tropical forest, mainly due to its large variations in biomass. Hence, we quantified C stocks in an intact lowland mixed dipterocarp forest (MDF) in Brunei, and investigated variations in biomass and topography. Tree, deadwood, and soil C stocks were estimated by using the allometric equation method, the line intersect method, and the sampling method, respectively. Understory vegetation and litter were also sampled. We then analyzed spatial variations in tree and deadwood biomass in relation to topography. The total C stock was 321.4 Mg C $ha^{-1}$, and living biomass, dead organic matter, and soil C stocks accounted for 67%, 11%, and 23%, respectively, of the total. The results reveal that there was a relatively high C stock, even compared to other tropical forests, and that there was no significant relationship between biomass and topography. Our results provide useful reference data and a greater understanding of biomass variations in lowland MDFs, which could be used for greenhouse gas emission-reduction projects.

The magnetic polishing is the useful method to finish using magnetic power of magnet. That method is one of precision polishing techniques and has an aim of the clean technology using for the pure of gas and inside of the clean pipe. The magnetic abrasive polishing method is not so common for machine that it is not spreaded widely. There are rarely researcher in this field because of non-effectiveness of magnetic abrasive. Therefore, in this paper deals with development of the magnetic abrasive using Sr-Ferrite. In this development, abrasive grain GC used to resin bond fabricated low temperature. And Sr-Ferrite of magnetic abrasive powder fabricated that Sr-Ferrite was crused into 200 mesh. The XRD analysis result show that only GC abrasive and Sr-Ferrite crystal peaks detected which explains resin bond was not any more chemical reaction. From SEM analysis it is found that GC abrasive and Sr-Ferrite were strong bonding with each other by bond. The magnetic polishing is performed by polishing the surface of pipe by attracting magnetic abrasives with magnetic fields. This can be widely applied for finishing machinery fabrications such as various pipes and for other safety processes. In this paper, we could have investigated in to the changes of the movement of magnetic abrasive grain. In reference to this result, we could have made the experiment which is set under the condition of the magnetic flux density, polishing velocity according to the form of magnetic brush.

Micro-PIV system with a high speed CCD camera is used to measure the flow field near the advancing meniscus of a water slug in microchannels. Image shifting technique combined with meniscus detecting technique is proposed to measure the relative velocity of the liquid near the meniscus in a moving reference frame. The proposed method is applied to an advancing front of a slug in microchannels with rectangular cross section. In the case of hydrophilic channel, strong flow from the center to the side wall along the meniscus occurs, while in the case of the hydrophobic channel, the fluid flows in the opposite direction. Further, the velocity near the side wall is higher than the center region velocity, exhibiting the characteristics of a strong shear-driven flow. This phenomenon is explained to be due to the existence of small gaps between the slug and the channel wall at each capillary corner so that the gas flows through the gaps inducing high shear on the slug surface. Simulation of the shape of a static droplet inside a cubic cell obtained by using the Surface Evolver program is supportive of the existence of the gap at the rectangular capillary corners. The flow fields in the circular capillary, in which no such gap exists, are also measured. The results show that a similar flow pattern to that of the hydrophilic rectangular capillary (i.e., center-to-wall flow) is always exhibited regardless of the wettability of the channel wall, which is also indicative of the validity of the above-mentioned assertion.

This paper is aimed at the development of a software that predicts the surface temperature profiles of three-dimensional objects on the ground by considering the spectral solar radiation through the atmosphere. The spectral solar radiation through the atmosphere is modeled by using the well-known LOWTRAN7 code which analyzes the detailed spectral transmission characteristics by considering the atmospheric gas layers. In this paper, the transient temperature distribution over a cylinder is calculated by using the semi-implicit method. The spectral radiative surface properties such as the absorptivity and emissivity of the objects are used to model the effects of the solar irradiation and the surface emission. Both the detailed spectral modeling and the simple total modeling for the solar radiation absorption show fairly good agreement with each other by showing less than 3% difference in surface temperature.

In this study, the concentration of odorants released from albumin (EA) and yolk (EY) portions of boiled egg samples were determined as a function of storage time. The concentrations were measured at storage days of 0, 1, 3, 6, and 9 under room temperature. As such, odorants produced during both fresh and decay conditions were measured through time. A total of 19 compounds were selected as the main target odorants along with 12 reference compounds. GC-MS (for VOC) and GC-PFPD system (for sulfur gases) equipped with thermal desorption (TD) system were employed for odorant analysis in this work. The initial concentrations measured from the chamber system were converted into flux terms ($ng{\cdot}g^{-1}{\cdot}min^{-1}$). The EA showed the highest concentration of $H_2S$ (234 $ng{\cdot}g^{-1}{\cdot}min^{-1}$) at EA-0, and the concentrations of AT (Acetone) was also seen clearly in the range of 11.7 (EA-0) to 58.6 $ng{\cdot}g^{-1}{\cdot}min^{-1}$ (EA-9). The EY showed similar patterns. EtAl (Ethyl alcohol) increased 9.47 (EA-1) to 96.7 $ng{\cdot}g^{-1}{\cdot}min^{-1}$ (EA-9) in EA samples. Ketone, alcohol, sulfur groups generally exhibited high concentrations compared to other odorants. These data were also compared in relation to olfactometry related dilution-to-threshold (D/T) ratio by air dilution sensory (ADS) test and sum of odor intensity (SOI).
