  • The smelly nitro compounds were extracted from dried fishes by simultanous distillation and extraction, then were analyzed by GC-MS. Carbon number and order of an amine could be predicted by using retention time and equivalent chain length. Anchovy, codfish, imitation crab meat, cuttle fish, file fish, pollack, shrimp, octopus, harvest fish, and hard-shelled mussel were used for this investigation. Various smelly nitro compounds such as methylamine, acetamide, thiazole, 2-hydroxy isopropylamine, N-methyl pyrroline, piperidine, cyclohexylamine were identified, however, dimethylamine, trimethylamine, diethylamine were not detected. Principal components analysis was applied to GC-MS profiles for pattern recognition of smelly nitro compounds in dried fishes. Multivariate aspects using principal components analysis were very useful for pattern recognition of smelly components, category similarity.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in the content of functional components and the antioxidant activity of cooked rice and porridge composed of selected grains. The results of the study showed that brown rice and oat contained considerable amounts of γ-oryzanol (78.099~238.566 mg/100 g). However, cooked rice showed a decreased content of the same. The highest content of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) was observed in brown rice from Samgwang. The contents of biotin in all samples also decreased in cooked rice compared to raw cereal grains. The highest content of total polyphenols and flavonoids were observed in Heukjinmi rice, and the highest radical scavenging activity was also found in this variety. The cooking process led to a decrease in the content of functional components including γ-oryzanol, GABA, biotin, polyphenols, and flavonoids versus the corresponding raw cereal grains. These results may be useful in the development and application of home meal replacements using cereal grains.

  • Cyber-Physical Energy Systems (CPESs) integrate cyber and hardware components to ensure a reliable and safe physical power production and supply. Renewable Energy Sources (RESs) add uncertainty to energy demand that can be dealt with flexible operation (e.g., load-following) of CPES; at the same time, scenarios that could result in severe consequences due to both component stochastic failures and aging of the cyber system of CPES (commonly overlooked) must be accounted for Operation & Maintenance (O&M) planning. In this paper, we make use of Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) to search for the optimal O&M strategy that, not only considers the actual system hardware components health conditions and their Remaining Useful Life (RUL), but also the possible accident scenarios caused by the failures and the aging of the hardware and the cyber components, respectively. The novelty of the work lies in embedding the cyber aging model into the CPES model of production planning and failure process; this model is used to help the RL agent, trained with Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) and Imitation Learning (IL), finding the proper rejuvenation timing for the cyber system accounting for the uncertainty of the cyber system aging process. An application is provided, with regards to the Advanced Lead-cooled Fast Reactor European Demonstrator (ALFRED).

  • This study was conducted to understand the essential structure and meaning of the experience of participating in the Jigsaw class designed to achieve the learning goals for nursing students with different basic learning abilities, and to prepare a plan for each individual to learn as a collaborator rather than a competition with each other. As a study based on Giorgi's phenomenological research method and in-depth interviews, data collection was collected from 10 study participants from December 1, 2023 to December 20, 2023. The main question used in the interview was "What impressed you after participating in Jigsaw teaching meathod?" The transcribed data were analyzed through the stages of overall recognition, classification of semantic units, transformation of semantic units into psychological expressions, and integration into general structures according to Giorgi's qualitative analysis method. As a result, a total of 89 semantic units, 35 essential psychological meanings, 13 sub-components, and 6 components were derived. The six components include 'good communication', 'difference appear in material preparation', 'easy to understand', 'finding team members who form a learning atmosphere well', 'A talkative class', and 'Unprepared team members are uncomfortable'. Based on the above results, it is expected that students in a passive position in class will become teachers themselves, take responsibility for preparing for learning, and provide useful basic data for developing programs that cooperate among students.

  • When ultrasound propagates to a crack, transmitted and reflected waves are generated. These waves have useful information for the detection of the crack lying in a structure. When a crack is under residual stress, crack surfaces will contact each other and a closed crack is formed. For closed cracks, the fundamental component of the reflected and transmitted waves will be weak, and as such it is not easy to detect them. In this case, higher harmonic components will be useful. In this paper, nonlinear characteristic of a closed crack is modeled by a continuum material having a tensile-compressive unsymmetry, and the amplitude of the second harmonic wave was obtained by spectrum analysis. Variation of the second harmonic component depending on the nonlinearity of the inclusion was investigated. Two-dimensional plane strain model is considered, and finite element software ABAQUS/Explicit is used.

  • Recent developments in the application of molecular biology to food grade lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have shown that it could be feasible to engineer metabolic pathways to either enhance specific metabolic fluxes or to divert metabolites for the production of different or new end products. This engineering requires detailed knowledge of enzymes involved in metabolism and regulation within the targeted organism but little works have been done in this area. During biochemical and molecular characterisation of lactic bacterial enzymes, some of probiotic Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species were found to be very useful for food, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries. The enzymes are usually intracellular and the yields are very low to be useful for industrial applications. Among many enzymes and proteins of lactic bacteria studied, some of our gene cloning achievements have contributed to overproduction of lactic bacterial enzymes such as peptidases, esterases, lactases, bile salt hydrolases and linoleate isomerases for foods and nutraceuticals.

  • The purpose of this study is to develop a computer model for simulating the water-lit hium bromide absorption heat transformer (AHT) Including all major components and to find the flexibility in operation. The effect of source hot water temperature, cooling water temperature, useful hot water flow rate, cooling water flow rate and evaporator circulation flow rate were investigated. The coefficient of performance (COP), temperature boost $({\Delta}T\;=\;T_A\;-\;Ti)$ and concentration variations can be predicted. The performance study indicates that the performance of AHT increases for the waste hot water temperature increasing and with a decrease of the cooling water temperature. The effect on performances of useful hot water flow rape is significant except on temperature boost. Also the effects on performance of cooling water flow rate and evaporator circulation flow rate are small. It is shown that the computer program is valuable to predict the performance of absorp-tion heat transformer units at various working corditions.

  • Electrospinning process is the useful and unique method to produce nanofibers from metal precursor and polymer solution by controlled viscosity. In this study, the NiZn ferrite nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning with a aqueous metal salts/polymer solution that contained polyvinyl pyrrolidone and Fe (III) chloride, Ni (II) acetate tetrahydrate and zinc acetate dihydrate in N,N-dimethylformamide. The applied electric field and spurting rate for spinning conditions were 10 kV, 2 ml/h, respectively. The obtained fibers were treated at $250^{\circ}C$ for 1 h to remove the polymer. Finally, the NiZn ferrite fibers were calcined at $600^{\circ}C$ for 3 h and annealed at $900{\sim}1200^{\circ}C$ in air. By tuning the viscosity of batch solution before electrospinning, we were able to control the microstructure of NiZn ferrite fiber in the range of $150{\sim}500\;nm$ at 770 cP. The primary particle size in $600^{\circ}C$ calcined ferrite fiber was about 10 nm. The properties of those NiZn ferrite fibers were determined from X-ray diffraction analysis, electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermal analysis, and magnetic measurement.
