Objectives: This study assessed the effect of water storage on the flexural strength (FS) of low shrinkage composites. Materials and Methods: A total of 165 bar-shaped specimens ($2{\times}2{\times}25mm$) were fabricated of 2 low shrinkage composites (Filtek P90 [3M ESPE], GC Kalore [GC International]) and a conventional methacrylate-based composite (Filtek Z250 [3M ESPE]). The specimens were subjected to 3-point bending test at 6 time intervals, namely: immediately after curing, at 24 hours, 1 week, 1 month, 6 months, and 1 year following storage in wet and dry conditions. The FS of the specimens were measured by applying compressive load at a crosshead speed of 1.0 mm/min. Data was analyzed using 3-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey's test. Results: Three-way ANOVA revealed significant interactions between time, type of composite, and storage condition (p = 0.001). Tukey's multiple comparison test revealed significant reductions in FS of all composites after 6 months and 1 year of storage in distilled water compared to dry condition. Conclusions: Filtek P90 showed the highest and GC Kalore showed the lowest FS after 1 year storage in distilled water. The immediate high strength of Filtek Z250 significantly decreased at 1 year and its final value was lower than that of Filtek P90.

To give some information on the harvest and storage of Chinese yam (Dioscorea opposita), the experiment was done to examine the effect of its harvesting date and storage method on tuber weight, tuberrelated characters during the storageor at the end of storage. The yam tubers harvested 4 times at 20 days interval from Oct. 15 were stored with different storage methods(pit, room and cold temperature) and on Mar.15. all the characters were measured. Fresh weight of the tuber harvestedafter Nov. 5 and stored were greater than that done on Oct. 15 while dry tuber weight did not have any difference between the harvesting dates. The fresh weigth done directly from the field on Mar. 15 was higher compared to the other harvesting dates owing to its higher moisture content. The rate of sound tuber stored at room or cold temperature condition was higher than that at the field at which the rate was greater at the harvest after late nov. compared to the earlier harvests. Although the two storages were similar at sound tuber rates and marketable yield, the tuber weight was more reduced when stored at room temperature than when done at cold temperature . Brightness and value 'b' of chromaticaity realted to the tuber coloring and sugar content were higher but moisture content was lowerwhen harvested on Oct. 15 than the other havesting dates. All the characteristics realted to the marketability after storage were nearly same when stored at room and cold temperature. Value 'a' of chromaticity and sugar content were higher when harvest on Mar. 15 than when harvested before Dec. 15 but the 'b' value and mositure content were reverse results.

The authors studied the viability and pH of Lactobacillus casei which was isolated from the Yakult in terms of its storage temperature time(days). The following results have been obtained: (1) The viability test to Lactobacillus casei under storage in 4$\circ$C temperature condition in 35 days, has shown that the original population of $4.0\times 10^8$ organisms was decreased to $0.1\times 10^8$, under storage in 10$\circ$C temperature the organisms to $0.08\times 10^8$, in room temperature the organisms to $0.009\times 10^8$, and in 35$\circ$C temperature the organisms to $0.0009\times 10^8$. The correlation coefficient of storage period (days) and number of bacterial viability were significant as r=0.956(p<0.01) in 4$\circ$C, r=-0.999 (p<0.01) in 100C, r=0.975(p<0.01) in room temperature and r=-0.923(p<0.01) in 35$\circ$C. (2) The pH test to Lactobacillus casei unde.r storage in 4$\circ$C temperature condition for 35 days has shown that the original pH of 3.54 were acidified to 3.35, under storage in 10$\circ$C temperature the pH were acidified to 3.20, in room temperature the pH were acidified to 3.15, and in 35$\circ$C temperature the pH were acidified to 3.0. The correlation coefficient of variation of pH between storage period (days) and temperature were significant as r=-0.972(p<0.01) in 4$\circ$C, r=-0.922 (p<0.01) in 10$\circ$C, r=-0.963 (p<0.01) in room temperature and r=-0.953 in 35$\circ$C.

The domestic demand of natural gas has increased continuously due to the sudden rise of oil price and regulations on greenhouse gas to global warming. In order to improve the supply security of natural gas market in Korea, the agreement on supply of pipeline natural gas (PNG) in Russia was signed between Gazprom and Korea Gas Corporation in 2008. If the supply plan of Russian natural gas is realized, underground storage facilities would be required in order to balance supply and demand of natural gas because the gas demand is concentrated in the winter. This study investigated the safety of the storage facility in quantitative way considering several design parameters such as gas pressure, depth of the storage cavern, rock condition and in-situ horizontal stress ratio. Two dimensional stress analyses were conducted using axi- symmetry condition to examine the behavior of cavern depending upon suggested design parameters. Results showed that the factor of safety, defined as the ratio of 'shear strength'/'shear stress', was largely affected by the depth, rock class and gas pressure but was insensitive to the coefficient of lateral pressure(Ko).

The depression of the external situation like the departure of WTO system and the plan of EEZ proclaim is forcing fishery into improving their fishing condition. By this international and domestic circumstance, development of the sea water cooling apparatus for fish hold storage is demanded sincerely. This study represents the thermal characteristics of the fish hold storage during transportation. The numerical analysis in this study is the finite volume method with the SIMPLE computational algorithm to study the seawater flow behavior in the fish hold storage. The computation were carried out with the variations of the circulating flow velocity and depth of fish hold storage. As the result of the three dimensional simulations, the mean temperature doesn't almost change by the circulating flow rate. find the mean temperature is suddenly changed by the ratio of depth of fish hold storage.

In this study, experimental procedures were suggested to investigate the sloshing behavior of a liquid storage tank subjected to inevitably external vibrating conditions. For this purpose. liquid storage tank with rectangular cross section was made of an acrylic resin for the visualization of liquid fluctuation. A specially designed vibrator was used to provide a specified vibrating condition to the liquid storage tank. Extrapolation technique was applied to determine sloshing natural frequency by using various sloshing frequencies at each vibrating displacement and liquid contents at a fixed vibrating frequency. Sloshing mode was also determined from continuous images or liquid fluctuation captured from a video camera. In addition, change in the height of the liquid free surface was measured by using a floating target and a laser displacement sensor. It is found that the suggested method can be applicable to identify the sloshing behavior of liquid storage tank with rectangular cross section.

$CO_2$ concentration profile was measured to investigate whether $CO_2$ concentration at one level (i.e., eddy covariance measurement level) can be used to estimate storage term without significant uncertainty at broadleaf deciduous forest at Kwangneung experiment forest in Korea. Based on t-test with significance level of 5％, there was no statistical difference between storage term from one-level $CO_2$ concentration and one from $CO_2$ profile measurement. Storage term constitutes on average 5％ of half hourly net ecosystem exchange (NEE) even at unstable stability (i.e., well mixed condition), indicating that storage term should be considered even at daytime, which is sometimes neglected.

This study was carried out to examine the properties of sample amount and storage conditions on the accumulated pulsed photostimulated luminescence (PPSL) signals of soybean paste powder. Difference amounts (0.1, 0.5 and 1 g) of soybean paste powder samples stored in normal room and darkroom conditions were measured. The PPSL signals of the soybean paste powders significantly increased with irradiation dose up to 10 kGy. The PPSL signals of irradiated soybean paste powder samples decreased with increasing storage periods. The decay rates were similar to regardless of storage conditions and sample amount. The PPSL signals of the irradiated soybean paste powder measured for 120 s were higher than those measured for 60 s. These results indicated that although the PPSL signal of all soybean paste powder samples decreased with increasing storage time, detection of irradiated samples was still possible after 12 months of storage regardless of sample amount and measurement times in both normal room and darkroom conditions.
