Iron objects become corroded at fast speed from the moment when they are excavated, so it is needed to control corrosion through processes of conservation treatment. However, re-corrosion mostly takes place in excavate iron objects, although they have already gone through the process of conservation treatment, and it is more difficult to carry out the second conservation treatment of re-corroded excavated iron objects than the first conservation treatment, and it requires a longer period of time to treat them as well. In this study, aims to discover factors of re-corrosion by scientifically analyzing corrosion products generated during the process of storage after the process of conservation treatment. The finished on conservation treatment of the iron artifacts, which were unearthed from three ancient site in Gyeongju by using the same conservation method between 2002 and 2009, re-corrosion condition observed on the packaging-iron artifacts. Focused on 9 target forged iron artifacts among them, this study analyzed the physical changes by mass measurement, naked-eye and microscopic observations and the chemical changes by SEM-EDS, XRD, IC and ICP analysis. The results show that the yellowish brown corrosion products formed on the facing surface of part dropped from the artifacts had different associated forms but acicular shape. In addition, the acicular shape became clearer as the color changed from red to yellowish brown. According to the process when the conservation treatment was completed, the mass of the artifacts increased in proportion to the corrosion products and the chloride ion ($Cl^-$) concentration had a tendency to increase relatively. ${\beta}$-FeOOH (akaganeite) was confirmed in the XRD analysis for the corrosion products of all the collected samples. As a result of ICP analysis, $Na^+$ and $Ca^{2+}$ components were confirmed.

Trichoxanthes Kirilowii with high starch-content was investigated to utilize as a food source. The weight and starch content of Trichoxanthes Kirilowii roots increased rapid1y in proporion to the growth period. The seasonal variations of the starch content were $36.5{\sim}48.0%$ (dry basis) from June to December. The chemical properties of natural growth soils of Trichoxanthes Kirilowii contained more organic matter and total nitrogen content than citrus orchard soils, but less mineral; P,K,Ca and Mg. To prepare starch with the plant root, the centrifugal method(3,000 rpm, 20 min) obtained the highest yield. The industrial-scale method, was similar to the processing of sweetpotato starch (tank precipitation method), and was good in quality. The starch granules were mainly spherical with diameters ranging from $5{\sim}16{\mu}$. The density of the starch was 1.535 and amylose content was about 26.7%. The X-ray diffraction pattern showed that the granules were of the B-type. The blue value of starch, amylose and amylopectin was 0.46, 0.80 and 0.18, respectively. The starch contained 0.05% ash, 0.35% crude protein and 34 mg% phosphorus. and had an inital pasting temperature of $63.5^{\circ}C$. The color intensity of the starch which iodine gave rise to absorption maxima at 670nm. The starch paste showed high stability during cold storage at $5^{\circ}C$.

We evaluated the results of pumping tests, the amount of groundwater used by Protected Cultivation with Water Curtain (PCWC), and monthly depth to water table (DTW) at the Wangjeon-ri area, Nonsan City, to elucidate the cause of a decrease in pumping rate during the winter PCWC season. The transmissivity and storage coefficient at eight sites where the major aquifer is alluvium, vary from 119.9 to $388.1m^2/d$ and $1.5{\times}10^{-4}$ to $5.5{\times}10^{-4}$, respectively. The pumping rate for PCWC during three months (Dec. to Feb.) averaged about $8,100m^3/d$ and the maximum water level in the area varied by about 10 m. Groundwater levels had fully recovered by August-five months after pumping for PCWC had ceased. These observations indicate that the pumping rate during the winter PCWC season was excessive compared with groundwater productivity in the area. Groundwater level in the central PCWC area varied from -3.0 to 4.38 m, exceeding the water level of the Nosung Stream for only three months (Aug. to Oct.). This result indicates that Nosung Stream recharges the area during the period from November to July. To solve the problem of reduced pumping rate during the winter PCWC season, it would be necessary to reduce the amount of groundwater used for PCWC or to develop an artificial recharge system using recycled groundwater.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the antioxidative effects of Sea tangle powder(STP) solvent extracts as well as Maejakgwa made with STP. The STP solvent extracts were added to soybean oil at a quantity of 0.05%. The solvents used for extraction were methanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate, and petroleum ether. Soybean oil without added STP was used as a negative control, and soybean oil samples containing 0.02% butylated hydroxy toluene(BHT) and $\alpha$-tocopherol were used as positive control, respectively. Each sample was stored at $50^{\circ}C$ for 30 days. The oxidation levels of these samples were determined by measuring their acid values, peroxide values, and thiobarbituric acid(TBA) values. The soybean oil samples containing the STP extracts had lower oxidation levels than both the negative control and $\alpha$-tocopherol positive control, and the sample containing the 0.05% methanol extracts had the lowest oxidation. According to the Rancimat method, the methanol extract(320 min) and ethanol extract(316 min) demonstrated longer induction periods as, compared to the control(253 min), $\alpha$-tocopherol(255 min), and BHT(309 min) samples. For the Maejakgwa, acid values increased over the storage period, however, the samples made with STP had lower values than the control group. Peroxide values increased rapidly for 30 days and then decreased. The TBA values of the Maejakgwa samples made with 3% and 9% STP were lower than those of the 15% STP sample and the control. In conclusion, the oxidative stability of soybean oil containing solvent extracts of STP and Maejakgwa made with STP were increased.

The purplish red pigment from the roots of Lithospermum erythrorhizon, a Korean edible wild plant, has been investigated concerning it's value as a natural colorant for Korean traditional foods. An attempt was made to isolate pigments and define their characteristics. Two compounds of isobutylshikonin and acetylshikonin were identified by melting point determination and spectra of UV, IR, and $^{1}H-NMR$. To examine the utility of these naphthoquinone pigments for foods, the effect of various pH values on stability were determined over a period of storage. Buffered solutions of acetylshikonin and isobutylshikonin at pH 3 and 5 showed stable purplish red. The absorption maxima if acetylshikonin and isobutylshikonin over the range of pH 3 to 7 were 518 nm and 520 nm, respectively. A bathochromic shift to 588 nm at pH 10 was observed on these two naphthoquinone pigments. Sensory evaluation was performed with acetylshikonin and isobutylshikonin of identical absorbance. These two pigments revealed purplish red color in Munsell system.

Modified atmosphere packaging was applied to oriental melon(Cucumis melo L. var. makuwa Mak.) to extend its freshness during distribution. Gas composition and ethylene content in the film bags changed rapidly at the early stage of storage. Within 10 days, weight loss of the unpackaged increased upto 7.68% while those of the packaged remained less than 1.0% except LDPE film modified by addition of 5%(w/w) zeolite with $20\;{\mu}m$ thickness(20CK, 2.38%). Firmness was effectively maintained in the LDPE film modified by addition of 5%(w/w) zeolite with $40\;{\mu}m$ thickness(40CK) and the LDPE film with $40\;{\mu}m$ thickness containing ethylene absorber sachet(40LP). Peel color of the fruit changed rapidly in control and a little in 40CK. Oriental melon packages using 40CK provided better visual and sensory quality retention compared with others. Results suggested that packaging treatment such as 40CK could be used for extending freshness of oriental melon during transport period at ambient temperature.

A study relating the soluble-solids (S.S.) contents of Chinese cabbages to the final titratable acidities(TA) of kimchis was conducted. The S.S. contents of Spring-sowed Chinese cabbages were in the range from $1.20-3.40^{\circ}$ Brix while those of Autumn-sowed Chinese cabbages were in the range from $3.8-6.6^{\circ}$ Brix. The S.S. contents of Chinese cabbages were varing depending on their varieties and the cultivating seasons. However, seasonal variations were much more significant than the varietal variations. The final TAs of kimchis after complete fermentation were found to be directly proportional to the S.S. contents(x) of Chinese cabbages, showing that TA equals to 0.30x+07779. From the equation, a Chinese cabbage of a S.S. content with up to $0.02^{\circ}$ Brix, which is practically impossible to obtain, will make a kimchi which will not be overacidified during the prolonged storage period without any preservative measures.

After rapid eye movement(REM) sleep was idenified in 1953, a lively interest developed concerning a possible role of this kind of sleep in memory processes. The author reviewed studies relating REM to memory/learning. Many studies in animals and humans gave substantial evidence for relating REM sleep to memory function. The evidence supporting the position taken in this paper comes from experiments showing that : (1) learning session is followed by the significant augmentation of REM sleep : (2) REM sleep deprivation, prior to learning or immediately thereafter, impairs the formation of a permanent memory/learning : (3) there is a vulnerable period of time(eg, REM sleep "window") following succussful learning, during which REM sleep deprivation results in memory impairment : (4) theta rhythm which develops during REM sleep induces long-term potentiation in hippocampus : (5) there are some evidences providing the relationship of neurotransmitter systems to the maintenance of REM sleep and memory storage processes.

The quality characteristics of Yakju and survival rate of yeast were investigated by modifying the drying method for the cold adapted yeast strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae Y297 (SCY297). Viability and fermentation characteristics of the freeze-dried, air blast-dried, and liquid SCY297 cultures were compared after storing them at $25^{\circ}C$. In addition, 5% skimmed milk, ${\alpha}$-lactose, or trehalose was added as a protective agent for examining the effects of drying methods. During the 15-week storage period, the liquid and freeze-dried SCY297 cultures containing a protective agent showed a survival rate of 80%. However, the air blast-dried SCY297 culture showed 80% survival rate only in the skimmed milk supplemented group. Compared to the untreated cells, the acidity and amino acidity of Yakju prepared using freeze-dried or air blast-dried cultures of SCY297 increased by 2 fold and 5.7 fold respectively, while the alcohol content decreased by 5.07%. Compared to the untreated cells, the pH and amino acidity of Yakju prepared using the liquid culture of SCY297 increased by 1.5 fold and 2.5 fold respectively. Although the alcohol content decreased by 2.9%, decrease rate was lower than that observed for the freeze-dried and air blast-dried yeast cultures. Therefore, the results of this study showed that using a liquid starter culture was more advantageous than using the conventional solid culture.
