The effects of excess salt ingestion or/and a prolonged electrical stimulation of the hypothalamus on the arterial blood pressure were studied in cats. The average mean arterial pressure determined in 12 control animals were $112.2{\pm}2.6\;mmHg$. In 15 animals in which 2% NaCl solution (2g/Kg of body wegight/day) was given for 20 days, average mean arterial pressure elevated to $147.7{\pm}6.1\;mmHg$. It was also found in four of them that salt-induced high blood pressure started to decline when salt solution was replaced by tap water. On the other hand, No change in average mean arterial pressure was observed in 10 animals, whose hypothalamus had been electrically stimulated for 28 days. In 11 animals in which the hypothalamus was stimulated with simultaneous excess salt ingestion for 20 days, there was a marked elevation in average mean arterial pressure which, however, does not significantly differ from that observed in excess salt ingested group. From the results obtained from the present experiment, it is concluded that 1) the hypertension is induced by an excess salt ingestion in cats, 2) the mean arterial pressure of cats is not affected at least by an increment of sympathetic tone for 4 weeks resulting from the electrical stimulation of posterior area of the hypothalamus, 3) in sodium·induced high blood pressure cats, four weeks of increment in sympathetic tone by the hypothalamic stimulation does not further elevate mean arterial pressure.

Recently, in the trend of using aggregate, it is common that coarse aggregate is replaced with crushed stone and fine aggregate is replaced with sea sand as a replacing aggregate. In this study, to judge the adaptability of using antiwashout underwater concrete, we used mixed sand (river sand : sea sand= 5 : 5) and changed W/C. After carrying out the research on the strength development of the compressive strength of specimen, tensile strength, fluxural strength which is produced and cured in the air and salt water, we founded that when W/C was low and the amount of AWA and SP were increased, the state of strength development was excellent.

Triaxial compression creep tests were performed on salt rock samples using cyclic confining pressure with a static axial pressure. The test results show that, up to a certain time, changes in the confining pressure have little influence on creep properties of salt rock, and the axial creep curve is smooth. After this point, the axial creep curve clearly fluctuates with the confining pressure, and is approximately a straight line both when the confining pressure decreases and when it increases within one cycle period. The slope of these lines differs: it is greater when the confining pressure decreases than when it increases. In accordance with rheology model theory, axial creep equations were deduced for Maxwell and Kelvin models under cyclic loading. These were combined to establish an axial creep equation for the Burgers model. We supposed that damage evolution follows an exponential law during creep process and replaced the apparent stress in creep equation for the Burgers model with the effective stress, the axial creep damage equation for the Burgers model was obtained. The model suitability was verified using creep test results for salt rock. The fitting curves are in excellent agreement with the test curves, so the proposed model can well reflect the creep behavior of salt rock under low-frequency cyclic loading. In particular, it reflects the fluctuations in creep deformation and creep rate as the confining pressure increasing and decreasing under different cycle periods.

Recently, the antiwashout underwater concrete has been increasingly used for underwater structure such as high strength massive concrete structures. However, Concrete has poor quality ad durability due to dilution with separating cementitious material. In this study, specimens were made with antiwashout underwater concrete replaced with mineral admixtures to improve their properties and were placed in air, water, and salt water. To estimation the chloride ion permeation in concrete, ASTM C 1202 Test was performed. The experimental results demonstrate that the increase of the admixtures improved the properties of antiwashout underwater concrete.

Since a long time ago, more than thirty kinds of fermented fish product have traditionally been favored and consumed in Korea. In general, they fermented with $20\%$ of sodium chloride. However, it has been currently known that sodium chloride is one of causative ingredient for adult diseases. For that reason, reduced sodium salt diet is recently recommended in developed countries. This study was attempted to process low sodium salt fermented fish using anchovy, Engraulis japonica, and yellow corvenia, Psedosciaena manchurica, as raw materials with partially replacing the sodium salt with potassium chloride. The most favorable taste for fermented anchovy and yellow corvenia were revealed at 60 and 90 days fermentation, respectively. Judging from sensory evaluation with variance of analysis and orthogonal contrast method, little difference of taste were found when sodium salt was replaced with KCl even by $50\%$ as compared with conventional fermented fish. Taste for low salt fermented anchovy and yellow corvenia were the most favorable when they were prepared with $4\%$ salt, $4\%$ KCl, $6\%$ sorbitol, $0.5\%$ lactic acid and $4\%$ alcohol extract of red pepper as preservatives and flavor enhancers.

The aim of this study was to investigate the quality properties of beef jerky replaced salt (NaCl) with red pepper paste, soy sauce and soybean paste. The quality properties of beef jerky including water activity ($a_w$), pH, moisture content, protein content, color, shear force, texture profile analysis and sensory evaluations were investigated. The sliced beef samples were marinated at salt (control), soybean paste (T1), soy sauce (T2) and red pepper paste (T3) for 24 h and then dried at $70^{\circ}C$ for 8 h. The $a_w$ and moisture content varied from 0.88 to 0.79 and from 28.87% to 22.98%, respectively. All treatment samples showed higher final $a_w$ and moisture content than the control sample after drying for the 8 h (p<0.05). The protein content of T2 and T3 samples were lower than the control. Also, shear force and hardness value of all treatment samples had lower than the control (p<0.05). However, all treatment samples showed lower saltiness intensity than the control sample. Sensory panelists recorded greater flavor and texture scores to the samples with soy sauce replacement. Therefore, sensory panels found that the T2 samples had better overall acceptability scores than the other beef jerky samples (p<0.05).

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are essential for neurotransmission and important therapeutic targets of diseases related to neurotransmission. A recent experimental study identified three residues (Lys185, Asp187, and Ile188) of the ${\alpha}6$ nAChR subunit as determinants of ${\alpha}$-conotoxin BuIA selectivity, yet how these residues confer toxin selectivity remains unclear. In this study, we performed all-atom molecular dynamics simulations with two toxin-bound ${\alpha}4{\beta}2$ nAChR systems: the wild-type ${\alpha}4{\beta}2$ and one in which we replaced the three ${\alpha}4$ subunit residues with three ${\alpha}6$ subunit residues identified in an experimental study (Tyr185Lys, Thr187Asp, and Arg188Ile). After mutation, Asp199 lost the salt bridge formed with Arg188 in the wild type located around loop C. Then, the loop C conformation changed and became more flexible than that of the wild type. We also detected reduced space between the toxin and the binding site in the mutant simulation, resulting in increased binding affinity to the toxin. Therefore, we propose a new Asp199 mutation that breaks the salt bridge and may produce similar selectivity to that of the Arg188 mutation.

This study conducted to understand effects of CA (CaAl₂O₄) and CA₂ (CaAl₄O₇) ratio on chloride binding ability and compressive strength and pore structure of cement mortar incorporating mixture of CA and CA₂. The Portland cement based specimens were mixed with the clinkers CA and CA₂, and these calcium aluminate clinker mixture were replaced 0, 5, 10% by weight of cement. After all the test specimens were cured for 28 days under water curing, they were immersed in the distilled water and NaCl solution. As a result, 28 days compressive strength of all specimens was similar, and As the replacement ratio of calcium aluminate clinker in the specimen increased, Friedel's salt production tended to increase. However, it was dependent on the amount of Al₂O₃ in the level of 5% replacement and CA ratio in the level of 10% replacement. Through equilibrium isotherm result, it was also indicated that as replacement ratio of calcium aluminate clinker in cement matrix increased, chloride binding capacity was improved, and chloride penetration was suppressed. In this study, the specimen replaced with 10% of the calcium aluminate clinker mixture (CA 39%, CA₂ 60%) was remarkable to control chloride attack. We figured out necessity to understand optimal CA/CA₂ ratio to effectively apply CA₂ as a sustainable building material by improving the chloride binding ability in Portland cement based system.

An experiment was conducted for 90 days using 9 growing bull calves (initial LW 71.5 kg) to investigate the effect of replacing til oil cake by poultry excreta on growth performance and nutrient utilization. The animals were randomly divided into three groups. The control group A was fed with conventional concentrate mixture containing til oil cake, rice bran, wheat bran, bone meal and common salt and the groups B and C were offered diets in which 50 and 100 percent of til oil cake of diet A were replaced by dried poultry excreta. All the animals were fed urea soaked rice straw ad libitum and concentrate mixture was given at the rate of 10 g per kg LW. Towards the end of growth trial a conventional digestibility trial was conducted. Average daily live weight gain was 216, 211 and 188 g for animals fed diets A, B and C, respectively. Average daily dry matter intake in groups A, B and C was 3.42, 3.37 and 3.30 kg per 100 kg LW, respectively. The daily live weight gain and dry matter intake did not differ significantly (p > 0.05) among the dietary groups. The digestibility coefficient for DM or NFE was almost similar but that for OM, CP, CF and EE was significantly different (p < 0.01) among the dietary groups. TDN percent in diets A, B and C was 57.3 53.3 and 50.8, respectively and the difference was significant (p < 0.01). Animals in all the groups were in a state of positive nitrogen balance. The results indicated that til oil cake can be replaced by dried poultry excreta in bull calf ration.

The study area is located on the western coast, and the inner development construction has been ongoing since 2011. The purposes of current study are to effectively simulate and quantitatively predict a temporal and spatial distributions of water temperature and salinity due to the stages of inner development construction in saemangeum reclaimed area. The transient-state numerical modeling using EFDC model is done, and the numerical simulation results are validated reasonably by repetitive numerical model calibration procedures with respect to field measurements of water temperature and salinity. The spatial distributions of water temperature and salinity show similar trends before and after construction of the dikes. In spring season, the salinity has maximum value of 21 psu, while, in summer season, the salinity shows 7 psu in a whole modeling domain. Thus, it is clearly observed that salt water is replaced by freshwater. However, the salinity and temperature reach their initial conditions at the end of the year. The salinity after construction of the dikes is lower than that before construction of them at Mankyeong area. On the other hands, after construction of the dikes, the salinity after dredging operations is higher than that before dredging. Because drastical increasing of water volume in Saemangeum Lake leads to increasing of stagnation time at bottom layer, and salt water is easily intruded to the two estuaries. Therefore, it may be concluded that hydrodynamic characteristics on Saemangeum are dominated by either Mankyeong and Dongjin discharge or sluice gates in/out-flow amounts, and thus they must be properly considered when rigorous and reasonable predictions of water temperature and salinity according to the stages of inner development construction.
