Low temperature dyeing properties of wool with reactive dyes and acid dyes were investigated for the feasibility study of their application to hair dyeing. The low temperature(30℃, 40℃) dyeing achieved light depth of shade in wool dyeing and reactive dyeing exhibited relatively higher color strength and chroma values than acid dyeing. Leveling agent slightly improved the levelness of the wool dyeing and the leveling properties of dyed wool at low temperature were good to excellent, irrespective of the dyes applied. Color loss during the repeated shampooing was in the range of 9.6~22.2% for reactive dyes and -7.4~31.5% for acid dyes and in some cases, the color fastness to shampooing was reasonable level. The overall experimental results showed that the application of low temperature wool reactive dyeing to hair dyeing is sufficiently feasible in terms of dyeability and color fastness to shampooing.

The proximate composition, mineral content, fatty acid composition, ATP related compounds, amino acid composition, color and texture were investigated with dorsal and ventral muscle from olive flounder, spotted flounder and hybrid (olive flounder m $\times$spotted flounder f). Spotted flounder and hybrid were higher in moisture content, and lower in crude protein content than those of olive flounder, Potassium content in hybrid was higher than that in olive flounder and spotted flounder. Hybrid was lower in calcium, iron, manganese content, and higher in magnesium content than olive flounder and spotted flounder. The contents of saturated fatty acid, unsaturated fatty acid and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in hybrid were intermediate level of spotted flounder and olive flounder. Fatty acid composition of dorsal muscle was slightly similar to ventral muscle. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and its related compounds contents and amino acid content in hybrid were intermediate level of spotted flounder and olive flounder, and these compounds of dorsal muscle were slightly similar to those of counterpart. The major amino acids such as aspartic acid, glutamic acid, leucine and Iysine were very similar to all the samples. Total amino acid and essential amino acid contents in dorsal muscle were slightly higher than those in ventral muscle. Free amino acid content and composition in hybrid were similar to spotted flounder, and free amino acid content in dorsal muscle was higher than in ventral muscle, The lightness of hybrid and spotted flounder was stronger than that of olive flounder, and was stronger in dorsal muscle. The breaking strength of hybrid was slightly lower than that of spotted flounder, and was stronger in dorsal muscle.

The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effects of different acid etching times on the enamel surface morphology, shear bond strength and debonding failure mode of orthodontic attachment. Ninety six extracted human mandibular premolars were divided into eight groups of twelve teeth. The buccal surfaces were etched with $37\%$, phosphoric acid for 5, 10, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 seconds, respectively. Two teeth from each group were used for scanning electron microscope examination. On the etched buccal surfaces of remaining teeth, orthodontic attachments(lingual buttons) were bonded with light cured orthodontic adhesive. Twenty foot hours after bonding, a Instron universal testing machine was used to determine shear bond strength of orthodontic attachment to enamel. After debonding, bases of orthodontic attachments and enamel surfaces were examined under stereoscopic microscope to determine failure mode. Statistical analysis of the data was carried out with one nay ANOVA and Duncan's multiple range test The results were as follows; 1. There was no statistically significant difference in shear bond strengths between the various etching times(p<0.05). 2. The failure modes of orthodontic attachments had some differences. In 5, 10 and 15 seconds etching groups, the percentage of adhesive/enamel interface failure was higher than that of adhesive/attachment interface failure. On the contrary, in 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 seconds etching groups, the results were reversed. 3. The etching patterns of enamel surfaces had a great variation. So, we could not find any correlation between etching pattern and bond strength. 4. The findings in this study indicate that in vitro reduction of the etching me to 5 seconds maintains clinically acceptable bond strength. However, further study is required to determine the cause of failure mode in 5, 10 and 15 seconds groups.

Neutral or alkaline papermaking provides many advantages in paper strength and processing conditions. It also provides the opportunity of using calcium carbonate fillers in papermaking. These diverse advantages have made almost all paper machines of printing and writing papers run under neutral and alkaline conditions. On the other hand, linerboard machines, which use recycled papers as a raw material, are running under acid conditions using a rosin sizing system. Because the recycled raw materials used by the linerboard industry contain significant amounts of alkaline papers, the linerboard industry has an interest in the possibility of using the neutral or alkaline papermaking opportunity. In this study, the compatibility of the recycled linerboards under neutral or alkaline papermaking conditions was examined by recycling them under various pH conditions. The sizing degree of the papers recycled under neutral or alkaline was significantly lower than that of acid formed papers indicating that during the neutral or alkaline recycling process the rosin sized papers lost their sizing efficiency. Recycling of acid formed linerboards under neutral or alkaline conditions increased the amount of foam, and the foam contained substantial amount of solid materials derived from the acid sizing systems. Use of cationic polyelectrolytes including PEI and poly-DADMAC improved the sizing degree of the recycled papers under neutral and alkaline conditions. PEI decreased the foam generation as well while poly-DADMAC did not show any reducing effect of the foam. These results suggest that PEI forms coordinate bonds with rosin acid and precipitate them onto the surface of recycled fibers, while the reaction products between poly-DADMAC and rosin acid ions still remain water soluble under neutral or alkaline conditions.

Acid-modified starch was prepared by treating a warm aqueous starch suspension with dilute mineral acid$(0.2\;N\;HCl,\;45^{\circ}C,\;20\;mim{\sim}1\;h)$. The swelling power and solubility of acid-modified red bean starches increased and the changes occurred at tower temperature. According to gel chromatography of starches, the amylose and amylopectin moieties of red bean starches were not affected very much by hydrolysis conditions used. The elution profiles of soluble carbohydrate showed that the larger molecules were leached as the heating temperature increased. Total amounts of soluble carbohydrate were increased by acid-modification. The gel strength of acid-modified starches at each temperature increased, whereas cohesiveness decreased in acid-modified starch gels except at $85^{\circ}C$.

This study was designed to assess the healing effects of ascorbic acid on full-thickness skin wound in dogs. Four $2.5\pm2.5cm$ full-thickness skin wounds were created bilaterally on the dorsolateral aspect in each of 5 dogs. The ten wounds were treated with ascorbic acid solution in the experimental group, and the ten wounds were treated with $0.9\%$ saline in the control group. The wound healing area was measured every other day for 3 weeks after the wounding. Statistical analysis was conducted with the paired t-test. On the $1^{st},\;3^{rd},\;5^{th},\; 7^{th},\;9^{th},\;11^{th},\;13^{th},\;15^{th},\;17^{th},\;19^{th},\;21^{st}days$, the wound healing rates were $12.6\pm9.6\%,\;9.5\pm9.8\%,\;18.9\pm9.0\%,\;39.2\pm5.4\%,\;62.2\pm4.6\%,\;86.9\pm1.9\%,\;92.9\pm1.8\%,\;96.6\pm1.6\%,\;99.1\pm0.5\%,\;99.8\pm0.2\%,\;99.9\pm0.1\%$ in the experimental group, and $9.1\pm6.0\%,\;9.2\pm6.0\%,\;12.2\pm5.0\%,\;41.3 \pm6.3\%,\;54.2\pm9.2\%,\;81.0\pm2.6\%,\;85.7\pm2.8\%,\;92.3\pm1.5\%,\;96.1\pm0.7\%,\;98.0\pm0.8\%,\;99.5\pm0.2\%$ in the control group On the $15^{th}$ day, the wound closed above $99\%$ in 2 dogs of the experimental group. On the $17^{th}$ day, the wound closed above $99\%$ in 3 dogs of the experimental group. On the $19^{th}$ day, the wound closed above $99\%$ in 5 dogs of the experimental group, and 2 dogs of the control group. On the $21^{st}$ day, the wound closed above $99\%$ in 5 dogs of the experimental group, and 4 dogs of the control group. The wound healing rate of the experimental group was $2\~4$ days faster than that of the control group. The tensile strength was $4,169\pm1,107g/cm^2$ in the experimental group, and $2,438\pm637g/cm^2$ in the countrol group on the$21^{st}$ day after wounding. Tensile strength was significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group (p<0.05). The histopathological findings of the experimental group were similar to those of the control group on the $1^{st},\;3^{rd}\;and\;5^{th}$days. Inflammation and revascularization of the experimental group were similar to those of the control group on the $9^{th},\;13^{th}\;and\;21^{st}$days. The formation of collagen and reepithelialization were more developed the experimental group than in the control group on the $9^{th},\;13^{th}\;and\;21^{st}$days. Significantly higher wound healing rate, tensile strength and better histopathological findings were observed in the experimental group than in the control group. These results suggest that the topical application of ascorbic acid on full-thickness skin wounds can promote wound healing process.

This study aimed to review the performance stability of PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) fiber reinforcing materials among the synthetic fiber types for which the application of performance reinforcing materials to fiber-reinforced concrete is being reviewed by examining short-term and long-term performance changes. To this end, the residual performance was analyzed after exposing the PET fiber to an acid/alkali environment, and the flexural strength and equivalent flexural strength of the PET fiber-reinforced concrete mixture by age were analyzed, and the surface of the PET fiber collected from the concrete specimen was examined using a scanning microscope (SEM). The changes in were analyzed. As a result of the acid/alkali environment exposure test of PET fiber, the strength retention rate was 83.4~96.4% in acidic environment and 42.4~97.9% in alkaline environment. It was confirmed that the strength retention rate of the fiber itself significantly decreased when exposed to high-temperature strong alkali conditions, and the strength retention rate increased in the finished yarn coated with epoxy. In the test results of the flexural strength and equivalent flexural strength of the PET fiber-reinforced concrete mixture, no reduction in flexural strength was found, and the equivalent flexural strength result also did not show any degradation in performance as a fiber reinforcement. Even in the SEM analysis results, no surface damage or cross-sectional change of the PET reinforcing fibers was observed. These results mean that no damage or cross-section reduction of PET reinforcing fibers occurs in cement concrete environments even when fiber-reinforced concrete is exposed to high temperatures in the early stage or depending on age, and the strength of PET fibers decreases in cement concrete environments. The impact is judged to be of no concern. As the flexural strength and equivalent flexural strength according to age were also stably expressed, it could be seen that performance degradation due to hydrolysis, which is a concern due to the use of PET fiber reinforcing materials, did not occur, and it was confirmed that stable residual strength retention characteristics were exhibited.

Polymer cement slurry (PCS) is made from organic polymer dispersion and cement has good adhesion to steel, waterproofness and acid resistance due to being of polymer films formed in cement slurry. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the bond strength of coated rebar by polymer cement slurry made of EVA and ultra high-early strength cement. The test pieces are prepared with EVA polymer dispersion and ultra high-early strength cement having four types of polymer-cement ratios, four types of coating thicknesses and four curing ages, and tested for the bond strength test. From the test results, in general, bond strength of PCS-coated rebar is better than that of uncoated rebar and epoxy-coated rebar. It is also high bond strength at curing ages of 7-day, and coating thicknesses of $75{\mu}m$ and $100{\mu}m$. The maximum bond strength of PCS-coated rebar with ultra high-early strength cement and EVA at polymer-cement ratio of 80%, and coating thickness of $100{\mu}m$ is about 1.32 and 1.38 times respectively, the strength of uncoated rebar and epoxy-coated rebar. It is apparent that the curing age, coating thickness, type of polymer and cement are very important factors to improve the bond strength of PCS-coated rebar to cement concrete. We can have basic information that PCS-coated rebar with polymer-cement ratio of 80% or 100% and coating thickness of $100{\mu}m$ at curing age of 1-day can replace epoxy-coated rebar.

Cotton fabrics were finished with mixture of BTCA(1,2,3,4,-butanetetracarboxylic acid) and polyalkyleneoxide-modified amino-functional silicone by pad-dry-cure process to achieve better DP performance with a higher retention of physical properties as compared to those of finished with BTCA alone. The results indicated that BTCA improved the wrinkle recovery but reduced significantly the tensile and tear strength of the treated fabrics. Whereas silicone imparted a lower wrinkle recovery, a lower loss of tensile strength than BTCA, in addition improved considerably the tear strength owing to reduction in inter-fiber and/or inter-yarn frictional forces. The concentration and curing temperature needed to enhance physical properties were as follows; for BTCA treatments 6%, at 18$0^{\circ}C$, for silicone treatments 1% at 14$0^{\circ}C$. This optimum concentration of silicone was observed by using the mixture of BTCA and silicone. The wrinkle recovery and DP rating of cotton fabrics treated with mixture of 4% BTCA and 1% silicone at a curing temperature of 17$0^{\circ}C$ was similar to those of treated with 6% BTCA at a curing temperature of 18$0^{\circ}C$, and other performance properties observed were; an increase in tensile strength, extension, toughness, abrasion resistance and moisture regain due to the reduction of BTCA concentration and curing temperature, futhermore an improvement in bending and surface properties due to the lubricating effect of silicone. On the other hand 1% aqueous silicone solution showed the lowest surface tension. Such nonionic surface activity resulted in a more uniform and rapid deposition of BTCA on the fiber or fabric.
