Anthocyanins are antioxidant compounds susceptible to environmental factors. Anthocyanin encapsulation into yeast cells is a viable solution to overcome this problem. In this study, the optimal factors for anthocyanin encapsulation were investigated, including anthocyanin concentration, plasmolysis contraction agent, and ethanol concentration, and response surface methodology was evaluated, for the first time. Anthocyanin from Hibiscus sabdariffa L. flowers was encapsulated into Saccharomyces cerevisiae using plasmolysis contraction agent (B: 3%-20% w/v), ethanol concentration (C: 3%-20% v/v), and anthocyanin concentration (A: 0.15-0.45 g/ml). The encapsulation yield and anthocyanin loss rate were determined using a spectrometer (520 nm), and color stability evaluation of the capsules was performed at 80℃ for 30 min. The results of the study showed that these factors have a significant impact on the encapsulation of anthocyanin, in which ethanol agents have the highest encapsulation yield compared to other factors in the study. Statistical analysis shows that the independent variables (A, B, C), their squares (A², B², C²), and the interaction between B and C have a significant effect on the encapsulation yield. The optimized factors were anthocyanin, 0.25 g/ml; NaCl, 9.5% (w/v); and ethanol, 11% (v/v) with an encapsulation yield of 36.56% ± 0.55% and anthocyanin loss rate of 15.15% ± 0.98%; This is consistent with the expected encapsulation yield of 35.46% and loss rate of 13.2%.

We investigated the optimization of the organosolv pretreatment of yellow poplar for bioethanol production. Response surface methodology was used to determine the optimal conditions of three independent variables (reaction temperature, reaction time, and sulfuric acid (SA) concentration). Reaction temperature is the most significant variable in the degradation of xylan and lignin in the presence of an acid catalyst, and ethanol production increased with a decrease in the lignin content. The highest ethanol concentration ($42.80g/{\ell}$) and theoretical ethanol yield (98.76%) were obtained at $152^{\circ}C$ (2.5 bar) with 1.6% SA for 16 min. However, because of excessive degradation of the raw material, the overall ethanol yield was less than under other pretreatment conditions which has approximately 50% of WIS recovery rate after pretreatment. The optimal conditions for the maximum overall ethanol yield ($146^{\circ}C$ with 1.22% SA for 15.9 min) were determined with a predicted yield of 17.11%, and the experimental values were very close (17.15%). Therefore, the quadratic model is reliable.

In many circumstances, it is infeasible to simulate the daily water yield in every land use or soil type of the watershed or river basin. These situations can be simulated in“Soil and Water Assessment Tool”(SWAT) using a concept called“hydrologic response units”(HRU's) within a topographically-defined subbasin. Soil water balance, crop growth, nutrient cycling management, etc., are simulated for each HRU For the watershed of Bok-ha river, the effect of HRU's in SWAT has been studied in respect to water yield. The optimum number of HRU's was 23 based in data capacity and correlation coefficient.

Steady shear response of a magnetorheological fluid (MRF) system containing porous mono-disperse magnetite ($Fe_3O_4$) spheres synthesized by solvothermal method is demonstrated. In applied magnetic field the interaction between the spherical particles leads to form strong columnar structures enhancing the yield strength and viscosity of the MRFs. The yield strengths of the MRFs also scale up with the concentration of magnetic particles in the fluid. Considering magnetic dipolar interaction between the particles the magneto-mechanical response of the MRFs is explained. Unlike metallic iron particles, the low-density corrosion resistant soft-ferrimagnetic $Fe_3O_4$ spherical particles make our studied MRF system efficient and reliable for shock-mitigation/vibration-isolation applications.

Extraction characteristics of garlic and functional properties of corresponding extract were monitored by response surface methodology (RSM). Maximum extraction yield of 26.41% was obtained at microwave power of 146.29 W, ethanol concentration of 63.31 %, and extraction time of 5.88 min. At microwave power, ethanol concentration, and extraction time of 114.84 W, 58.83%, and 1.42 min, respectively, maximum electron-donating ability (EDA) was 72.86%. Maximum nitrite-scavenging ability was 94.62% at microwave power, ethanol concentration, and extraction time of 81.83 W, 2.65%, and 3.83 min, respectively. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) showed maximum pseudo-activity of 49.12% at microwave power of 34.23 W, ethanol concentration of 33.11 %, and extraction time of 4.40 min. Based on superimposition of 4-dimensional RSM with respect to extraction yield, electron-donating ability, nitrite-scavenging ability, and pseudo-activity of SOD, optimum ranges of extraction conditions were microwave power of 0-100 W, ethanol concentration of 40-70%, and extraction time of 2-8 min.

반응표면분석법(RSM)을 활용하여 유동층과립기의 흡입공기온도, 물의 투입비율, 분무압력 등이 분유의 과립화에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 분유의 과립화 수율은 물의 투입 비율에 많은 영향을 받고 있음을 알 수 있었으며, 겉보기밀도 및 다짐 밀도는 분무압력에 크게 영향을 받고 있음을 보여주었다. 분유의 유동층 과립화의 최적조건은 흡입공기온도6$0^{\circ}C$, 물의 투입비율 16 mL/min, 그리고 분무압력 2.1 bar이었으며, 이때 과립화 수율은 94.0%, 겉보기밀도는 0.350 g/㎤, 그리고 다짐밀도는 0.446 g/㎤로 각각 예측되었다.

Iron (Fe) is a vital element for plants and other organisms, involving in several physiological processes including respiration, chlorophyll biosynthesis, and photosynthesis. Unfortunately, how Fe accumulation regulates in response to light quality has not been well established in plants. Therefore, the aim of the study was to explore the mechanism of Fe homeostasis by light quality. In this study, we found morpho-physiological attributes were significantly improved in response to blue (λmax: 450) compared to white (λmax: 500) and red (λmax: 660) light. The root-shoot length, plant biomass, photosynthesis efficiency (Fv/Fm) and leafgreen (SPAD) significantly declined in response to white and red light. However, these parameters were improved and iron deficiency was substantially alleviated by blue light exposure in alfalfa seedlings. This study might be useful to the forage breeders and farmers for improving alfalfa yield and nutritional benefits.

감귤류는 다양한 기능성과 약효로써의 효능이 입증되면서 소비가 증가하고 있으나, 감귤 가공 후 부산물인 감귤박은 폐기물로써 해양에 투기되고 있어 부산물의 처리가 시급한 실정이다. 따라서 폐감귤박을 이용한 고감도 감미료의 생산 원료인 neohesperidin을 추출하여 폐감귤박을 효율적 이용을 도모하였으나 상당히 미비한 추출수율로 효율성이 감소하였다. 이러한 추출 수율의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 반응표면 분석법을 이용하여 감귤가공부산물로부터 neohesperidin의 추출 수율 증진 위한 추출조건의 최적화 연구를 수행하였다. 추출 조건 중 초임계 유체 추출의 수율 증진에 영향을 주는 추출 압력($x_1$), 추출 시간($x_2$), 보조용매의 농도($x_3$)를 주요 인자로 선정하였다. 선정한 인자를 반응표면 분석법에 적용하여 추출 수율의 최적조건을 탐색하였으며, 그 결과 추출압력이 증가하면서 추출의 수율은 크게 향상되었고, 또한 추출 시간이 길어질수록 추출 수율 또한 증가함을 확인하였다. 또한 초임계 이산화탄소에 ethanol을 보조용매로 첨가할 경우 보조용매의 농도가 높을수록 수율은 급격하게 증가하여, 최종적으로 162.22%까지 neohesperidin의 추출 수율을 증진할 수 있었다.

Attempts have been made to establish relationship between the response to ACTH challenge in female calves, growth and first lactation performance. A total of 19 Holstein calves weighing 100 kg i. v. were given 0.50 IU of ACTH/kg $BW^{.75}$ (EXACTHIN inj., Richter G., Budapest) at 60 days of age. Serial blood samples were taken at times 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 hours and analyzed for cortisol, glucose insulin and FFA levels. From challenge series the area under the curve from time of administration and the following 5 h were calculated. Negative, and mostly loose relationship between response to ACTH challenge for cortisol, insulin, or FFA and ADWG during growth have been established (p>0.05) with positive one for glucose. Bivariate coefficients of correlation varied within the range from -0.35 to 0.15. Estimations reveal negative correlation between the length of first lactation and cortisol or insulin (r=-0.80, p<0.001 and r=-0.45, p<0.10, resp.) Close association between cortisol or insulin and actual first lactation milk yield was found (r=-0.48, p<0.10; r=-0.64, p<0.01, resp.). Close relationship between the response to ACTH challenge and milk protein yield was present only for insulin (r=-0.59, p<0.05).
