0.75(Bi_1/2Na_1/2)TiO₃-0.25SrTiO₃ (BNT-25ST) ceramics with high densities were successfully prepared at a sintering temperature of 1,000℃ by adding a mixture of 1 mol% CuO and 0.5 mol% Na₂CO₃ or 0.5 mol% CuO and 0.25 mol% Na₂CO₃. Double polarization-electric field (P-E) hysteresis curves and sprout-shaped bipolar strain-electric field (S-E) hysteresis curves with small negative strains were observed in the pristine and CuO-added BNT-25ST ceramics whereas the Na₂CO₃-added sample showed similar P-E and S-E curves to a typical ferroelectric. The pristine BNT-25ST ceramics showed an extremely large strain and a large-signal piezoelectric strain constant (d₃₃^*): 0.287 % at 80 kV/cm and 850 pm/V at 20 kV/cm. Similar values, 0.248 % at 80 kV/cm and 655 pm/V at 20 kV/cm, were obtained in the CuO-added sample. However, the pristine and CuO-added samples showed large hysteresis in unipolar S-E curves at an electric field of less than 20 kV/cm. The Na₂CO₃-added sample showed smaller values of the strain and d₃₃^* but displayed a linear change and small hysteresis in the unipolar S-E curve. The co-added sample with CuO and Na₂CO₃ displayed intermediate P-E and S-E hysteresis curves.

Reactive oxygen species are the byproducts of metabolic processes in the body, However, excessive amount may cause side effects such as cancer. Therefore, to reduce the production of these species, but their long-term administration at high doses may induce side effects. Hence, natural materials with antioxidant activities are attracting attention. Two of these natural materials are soybean sprouts and Hovenia dulcis Thunb. fruits, but few studies have evaluated the effects of their combination. Thus, we prepared a soybean sprout extract containing 1.5% H. dulcis Thunb. fruit concentrate (BHM) to develop a functional food material derived from natural products and then confirmed its physicochemical properties and physiological activity. Among the organic acids detected in BHM, malic acid exhibited the highest content of 1,451.03 ppm, and the main free sugars were glucose (645.48 ppm) and fructose (738.11 ppm). Taurine was the most abundant free amino acid at a concentration of 11.95 ppm, followed by those of arginine (10.97 ppm) and glutamic acid (10.16 ppm). Analyses of the mineral components revealed large amounts of Zn and Fe in BHM, and the respective total polyphenol and flavonoid contents in BHM were 957.16 and 601.93 ppm. The DPPH radical and H₂O₂ scavenging activities and reducing power indicated excellent antioxidant efficacy compared to the positive controls. Furthermore, blood alcohol and acetaldehyde concentrations were measured to confirm the hangover-relieving effects of BHM, with both significantly decreased (p<0.05). BHM displays potential for development as a functional food, and the results of this study may be used as basic data in further research.

This study aimed to establish the optimal amount of thickening agent for the appropriate viscosity in soups and beverages, which are part of the dysphagia diet. The soups were bean sprout soup and soybean paste soup; the beverages were orange juice, regular milk, and low-fat milk; the thickening agent was one type of xanthan gum product. After adding the thickening agents (from 1 g to 5 g per 200 mL of the test food), syringe tests were conducted over time (5, 10 and 15 minutes) to verify the effects of the amount of thickening agent added per sample and the time between addition and achieving the resulting viscosity, and to establish the optimal addition conditions to reach IDDSI levels 1, 2, and 3 of the dysphagia diet. Water (based on 200 mL) was used as the standard control. These results provide a useful basis for customized diets based on the patient's dysphagia severity. On the other hand, this study is limited by including only liquid foods in the dysphagia diet and one type of xanthan gum-based thickening agent. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct continuous research, based on the study results, to modify the viscosity of the dysphagia diet using various thickening agents and foods and prevent nutritional deficiencies by managing the diet according to the patient's swallowing ability.

Glucoraphanin (GRA), a glucosinolate particularly abundant in broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) sprouts, can be converted to sulforaphane (SFN) by the enzyme myrosinase. Herein, we investigated the anti-obesogenic effects of broccoli sprout powder (BSP), mustard (Sinapis alba L.) seed powder (MSP), and sulforaphane-rich MSP-BSP mixture powder (MBP) in bisphenol A (BPA)-induced 3T3-L1 cells and obese C57BL/6J mice. In vitro experiments showed that MBP, BSP, and MSP have no cytotoxic effects. Moreover, MBP and BSP inhibited the lipid accumulation in BPA-induced 3T3-L1 cells. In BPA-induced obese mice, BSP and MBP treatment inhibited body weight gain and ameliorated dyslipidemia. Furthermore, our results showed that BSP and MBP could activate AMPK, which increases ACC phosphorylation, accompanied by the upregulation of lipolysis-associated proteins (UCP-1 and CPT-1) and downregulation of adipogenesis-related proteins (C/EBP-α, FAS, aP2, PPAR-γ, and SREBP-1c), both in vitro and in vivo. Interestingly, MBP exerted a greater anti-obesogenic effect than BSP. Taken together, these findings indicate that BSP and MBP could inhibit BPA-induced adipocyte differentiation and adipogenesis by increasing the expression of the proteins related to lipid metabolism and lipolysis, effectively treating BPA-induced obesity. Thus, BSP and MBP can be developed as effective anti-obesogenic drugs.

This paper utilized electromagnetic field energy as an external stimulus to enhance the germination rate of acacia(Robinia pseudoacacia) seeds. Electromagnetic field energy comprises three types: static magnetic field(SMF) energy, static electric field(SEF) energy, and microwave(MW) energy. When SMF energy was applied to seeds through a dry method for 90 minutes, the germination rate increased by more than 10% compared to the control group. Similarly, SEF energy applied through a dry method for 90 minutes resulted in an improvement of over 20% in the germination rate. Furthermore, when MW energy at 2.45 GHz was applied to the seeds through a wet method for 3 minutes, the germination rate increased by over 25%. Experimental results showed that seeds treated with MW energy exhibited the highest germination rate and the greatest sprout growth. Consequently, this paper confirms that treating seeds with MW energy through a wet method yields the most superior germination rate and seedling growth.

This paper is considering on investigation of the single nature theory of Wangyangming. Most of all, His single nature's theory is the results of critical reflections on the nature theory suggested by Zhuxi's learning. His theory has two unique characteristics. First, in contrast to Zhuxi's arguments, WangYangMing emphasize the single 'QiZhizhiXing(氣質之性)' which unify 'XingjiQi(性卽氣)' with Gaozi(告子)'s 'ShengzhiweiXing(生之謂性)' theory, and present view that 'nature is only one'. Second, He regards The Four Virtue(四德) and The Four Sprout(四端) as 'revealed virtues(表德)', defines them as 'already produced(已發)' virtues at the same time. Through this course, he tries to dismantle various nature and virtues which were constructed based on the criterion of 'XingerShang(形而上)' and 'XingerXia(形而下)'. The reason why he unify all the nature theory which Zhuxi had suggested as one nature's category, is not based on the theocratical interest but on the practical interest. In other words, he tries to provide the more practical methodology which each learner can directly embody and cultivate his own nature in his or her daily life.

enistein (G), and daidzein (D), the major isoflavones, were analyzed in 14 varieties of Korean soybean and various processed soybean products by using high performance liquid chromatography. Isoflavone contents (G+D) were greatly variable among varieties ranged from 308.2 $\mu\textrm{g}$/g to 1,134.2 $\mu\textrm{g}$/g and highest in Danyopkong and Jinpumkong. Among hypocotyl, cotyledon and hull of soybean the concentration of the isoflavone (G+D) in the hypocotyl was highest ranged from 2,971.7 $\mu\textrm{g}$/g to 5,704.9 $\mu\textrm{g}$/g. The distributions of genistein and daidzein were also different in hypocotyl, cotyledon and hull. Higher ratio of daidzein to genistein (D/G) was found in the hypocotyl (4-12) compared to cotyledon and hull (0.1-4). Isoflavone (G+D) contents of soymilks (Sinpaldal#2, Eunhakong) prepared at 16 hour hydration were decreased to 1.1-1.2 times compared with that at 8 hour hydration. Commercial soymilks contained much lower isoflavone (G+D) than laboratory soymilks. Soybean curd (Eunhakong) prepared with MgCl$_2$ showed higher isoflavone (G+D) contents than that with CaSO$_4$. But these values of two different soybean curds made at laboratory were similar to those of 3 commercial curds. The concentration of the isoflavones in soybean sprout separated with 3 parts revealed highest in the head and lowest in the stem. Compared with non-fermented soybean foods the fermented soybean produfts, Kochujang and soybean paste, Duen Jang, showed very low contents of isoflavone (G+D),2.8-3.0 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ｇ, 35.9-63.6 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ｇrespectively.

These studies were investigated for effect of concentration of sodium chloride on occurrence and growth of fruitbody in oyster mushroom, Pleurotus ostreatus. When the mycelia were inoculated and cultured on the PDA plate added with the different concentrations of sodium chloride, the growth of them were not affected at the concentration of 0.5%, started to decrease at 1.0% as compared with the PDA plate without sodium chloride, and they did not grow at 5.0%. When tested at the column filled with sawdust, the tendency was similar, but the decreasing rate of mycelial growth was gentle. In sawdust bottle cultivation sprinkled with the different concentration of sodium chloride solution at the different stage, the productivity and quality of fruitbody started to decrease at 3.0% of the solution and the yield at the treatment of 10.0% solution was only 47% of that in non-treated bottles. Treated at the different stages of mushroom development, treatment just after mushroom sprout did not show any different from that just after scraping spawn from the complete grown bottles. The sprinkle treatment at this stage looked better than that of the soaking with the solution before mushroom sprout. The yield at this treatment with 10% solution showed little damage with that of 90% of non-treated bottle. Sprinkle treatment during mushroom growth stage did not affect and showed almost same to non-treated bottle except the treatment with 10.0% solution. The treatment of this stage showed better results of growing characters than the treatment after and before mushroom sprouting even 10% solution. Morphological characteristics of oyster mushroom do not distinguish to treatment of different stage and concentration of sodium chloride solution. The analyzing data of quality on underwater usually used for oyster mushroom in Inchon, Yeongjong and Kanghwa area showed over-concentration to the standard for edible water and agricultural water. But it was not confirmed whether this water quality could affect to mushroom cultivation.
