In order to investigate the composition of dried layer, Porphyra yezoensis cultured at the south coast of Korea, the dried laver was analyzed separately for extractive nitrogen, free and combined amino acids, ATP and related compounds and quaternary ammonium basis using specimens collected monthly from January to April 1998. The extractive nitrogen contents of dried layer extracts were $976\~1,196\;mg/100\;g$ (on dry basis). Twenty-eight to thirty-one kinds of free amino acids were found in the dried laver extracts and their total amounts were 5,648-6,845 mg/100 g (on dry basis). The extracts were rich in free amino acids such as alanine, glutamic acid, taurine, phosphoserine and aspartic acid. Eighteen to twenty-two kinds of combined amino acids from oligopeptides were found in the extracts and their total amounts were $1,194\~1,406\;mg/100\;g$ (on dry basis). The amounts of ATP and related compounds were $111.6\~195.5\;mg/100\;g\;(3.30\~6.00{\mu}mol/g$ on dry basis). Homarine was detected in all samples but glycinebetaine, $\beta$-alaninebetaine and $\gamma$-butyrobetaine disappeared during processing, TMAO was detected in all samples but low TMA was found in some. During processing of dried layer, P. yezoensis, free amino acids, ATP and its related compounds were increased but the other constituents such as combined amino acids, TMAO and TMA and betaines were decreased in all specimens.

In order to investigate the composition of dried layer, Porphyra dentata cultured at the south coast of Korea, the dried layer was analyzed for extractive nitrogen, free amino acids, combined amino acids, ATP and its related compounds and quaternary ammonium basis, The extractive nitrogen contents of dried laver extracts were 670-1,304 mg/100 g (on dry basis). From twenty-eight to twenty-nine kinds of free amino acids were found in the dried laver extracts and their total amounts were $2,796\~6,277\;mg/100\;g$ (on dry basis). The extracts were rich in free amino acids such as alanine, taurine, glutamic acid, glutamine and phosphoserine, From eighteen to twenty-one kinds of combined amino acids were found in the extracts and their total amounts were $1,406\~2,142\;mg/100\;g$ (on dry basis). The amounts of ATP and its related compounds were $65.7\~124,7\;mg/100\;g(2.13\sim3.68{\mu}mol/g$ on dry basis), Homarine was detected in all samples but $\beta$-alaninebetaine, $\gamma$-bufobetaine and trigonelline disappeared during processing. TMAO and TMA were detected in all samples.

No freshness indicator for fish has yet been established. Thus, we investigated changes over time in mackerel quality in an effort to development useful indicators. Fresh whole mackerel Scomber japonicus were stored at $4^{\circ}C$ immediately after capture and quality changes were evaluated every 3 days for a total of 15 days. Whole fish were divided into ventral parts (VPs) and dorsal parts (DPs); we measured the trimethylamine (TMA) and volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) levels, pH values, and color values in/of these parts. The TMA and VBN levels tended to increase during storage and the TMA changes in VPs were higher than those in DPs. In particular, the VP TMA content attained a maximum of 3.68 mg/100 g at 6 days, and the VBN content attained a maximum of 20.88 mg/100 g at 9 days, suggestive of initial fish spoilage. The pH ranged from 5.99-6.17 over the first 3 days and from 6.17-6.38 from days 6-15. Surface color changes on VPs and DPs were explored. Significant decreases in both VP lightness and yellowness were evident after 3 days. The data suggest that both TMA level and lightness of the color are valuable indicators of freshness in the initial stage of mackerel retail.

We report the case of a 14-year-old girl, diagnosed with atypical thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA). The patient presented with persistent fever, nausea, and newly developed peripheral edema. Her laboratory findings indicated chronic anemia with no evidence of hemolysis, thrombocytopenia, or elevated serum creatinine level. A few days after hospitalization, acute renal failure and fever worsened, and proteinuria developed. On day 40 of hospitalization, she experienced a generalized tonic seizure for 5 min, accompanied by renal hypertension. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed posterior reversible leukoencephalopathy syndrome. After steroid pulse therapy, a renal biopsy was performed because of delayed recovery from thrombocytopenia. The biopsy findings showed features of thrombotic microangiopathic hemolysis with fibrinoid change restricted. Current diagnostic criteria for TMA have focused on thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and hemolytic uremic syndrome, and diagnosis is based on the clinical presentation and etiology, with the consequence that idiopathic and atypical forms of TMA can be overlooked. Developing effective tools to diagnose TMA, such as studying levels of ADAMTS13 or testing for abnormalities in the complement system, will be the first step to improving patient outcomes.

This paper proposes vision-based collision risk estimation method for an unmanned surface vehicle. A robust image-processing algorithm is suggested to detect target obstacles from the vision sensor. Vision-based Target Motion Analysis (TMA) was performed to transform visual information to target motion information. In vision-based TMA, a camera model and optical flow are adopted. Collision risk was calculated by using a fuzzy estimator that uses target motion information and vision information as input variables. To validate the suggested collision risk estimation method, an unmanned surface vehicle experiment was performed.

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of supercooling repression on the TMA clathrate by adding ethylene glycol. For this purpose, phase change temperature, supercooling, specific heat, latent heat and rate of volume change were measured and evaluated experimentally for heat source temperatures of -6$^{\circ}C$, -7$^{\circ}C$, -8$^{\circ}C$. The results show that supercooling was decreased. Thus the experimental results are expected to be used for the increase of coefficient of performance of low temperature thermal storage system in the building.

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of supercooling repression on the clathrate compound by adding additives. For this purpose, phase change temperature and supercooling were measured when additives added to TMA30wt% clathrate for heat source temperature of $-6^{\circ}C$. The experimental results show that the phase change temperature with the chloroform of 0.1wt% is higher by $0.3^{\circ}C$ than TMA30wt% and the supercooling with the surfactant 0.1wt% is reduced by $9.2^{\circ}C$.

The objective of this study was to manufacture the sea water cooling apparatus for fish hold storage to extend the freshness of fish. Using the sea water cooling apparatus manufactured, it makes observations on the physicochemical and sensual properties of mackerel such as ATP and its related compounds, K-value, VBN, TMA, TBA, salt-concentration and skin color through storage. The results of this investigation showed that the values of physicochemical properties such as ATP and its related compounds, K-value, VBN, TMA, TBA increased gradually during storage in sea water cooling apparatus manufactured and the changes of skin color was inhibited also. From these results, it could be suggested that developed sea water cooling apparatus is effective in shelf-life extension of fishes.

The fishes that are mostly used in our homes such as Pacific Mackeral, hair Tail and Alaska Pollack were devided into Freezing group, Refrigerating group and Room temperature group according to storage temperature. TVB-N, TMA-N, TMA-O and pp.H. were measured in natural state, after water washing and 3% NaCl-water washing. The results are as follows: 1. Regardless of the kinds of fishes, TVB-N in room temperature showed that rottenness first appeared after 5~8 hours in raw state, 6~12 hours in water washing, and 8~12 hours in 3% NaCl-water washing. 2. Regardless of freezing and refrigeration, Pacific Mackeral became rotten after 14 days in raw state, 14~17 days in water washing and 17 days in 3% NaCl water washing. Alaska Pollack and Hair Tail showed rottenness after 8 days in raw state, 11 days in water and 3% NaCl water washing. 3. Even in hot summer days, freshness could be preserved for 10 days if fishes were freezed ($-20^{\circ}C$) or refrigerated (4~$8^{\circ}C$) after bowel excluded, washed in NaCl water and enveloped in poly-ethylene bag.
