Manufacturing fabrics from dissolving cellulosic pulp is increasing in these days. For making high quality of cellulose-based fabrics, control of cellulose DP (degree of polymerization), its alpha cellulose content, its brightness, and its crystallinity are important. To process the cellulosic raw material, refining of cellulosic fibers is essential, and it is important to know if refining affects those important cellulose properties. The effects of PFI mill and Valley beater refining on the alpha-cellulose content, cellulose DP, crystallinity, and paper mechanical properties of wood and two different cotton fibers were studied. The results showed that PFI mill refining rarely affected those properties. Fibers refined by a Valley beater displayed a small reduction in fiber length in comparison with those refined by a PFI mill. However, the Valley beater refining method produced almost no changes in cellulose properties, either. The refining process seemed to have very little effect on the cellulose DP, crystallinity index, or alpha-cellulose content until the freeness decreased to around 300 mL CSF for wood and 100 mL CSF for cotton fibers, respectively. There were also no differences in tensile strength development in two refining methods.

Because of its tendency of making strong Hoc on the fiber surface with fines, Meogujaengi has not been valued as a material of Hanji. As an attempt to manufacture high value-added products using the material made from Jumchihanji, this study performed morphological classification and chemical component analysis and selection of pulping of Meogujaengi method. As a result, it can be concluded as follows, 1. Meogujaengi is assumed to be a local variety of Broussonetia karinoki and its outward appearance is distinguished from Broussonetia kazinoki. 2. The bast fiber of Meogujaengi is longer and thinner than that of Broussonetia papyrifera or Broussonetia kazinoki. However, because of the coarse linear of fiber tissue, there are many clusters. 3. The cluster phenomenon of Meogujaengi is nothing to do with its chemical components. Although the contents of its chemical components are different from those of Broussonetia kazinoki, no component was found that obstructs pulping. 4. The pretreatment for suppressing the occurrence of clusters of Meogujaengi was effective, and it was necessary to do secondary beating using hollander beater after beating mixed with PAM using knife beater.

Kyungsan nursery complex which has a vast area for the production of various species of fruit tree stocks is in a high demand of virus-free saplings. Apple tree stocks, the most important products, urgently need more rapid and reliable viral diagnosis. In this study, a bead beater was tested because of convenience in dealing with large number of samples. Also, industrial glass bead abrasive (0.4 mm in diameter) at very low cost was used in a disposable way. For bead beater-aided RNA extraction from apple stem tissues, the guanidine thiocyanate method was confirmed to be very reliable. Silca membrane filter tube in connection to vacuum filtering device was strongly suggested for simplifying RNA capture and washing steps. Apple virus detection was confirmed by RT-PCR.

This study was carried out to improve the opacity of printing paper. Conventional filler loading enhanced the opacity of paper, but subsequently caused reduction of paper strength of paper. We try to seek a new filler loading method so-called beater loading that enhances opacity of paper as well as sustained desire strength. In our experiment, comparing to direct loading method, the beater loading method enhanced 0.8% of opacity and 0.2% of brightness. This also decreased the rates of strength reduction of paper. Therefore, the results obtained in this study indicated that beater loading was a very effective method to improve the opacity of paper while not to decreased so much of paper strength.

최근, 제지산업에 있어서 종이의 경량화 연구는 원료 절감, 에너지 절감 등의 주 효과와 운송비 절감을 비롯한 부차적인 효과가 크기 때문에 앞으로도 활발히 추진 될 것으로 전망 된다. 그러나 이러한 경량화는 종이의 광학적 특성인 불투명도와 물리적 특성인 강도 저하 를 필연적으로 가져오게 한다. 특히 인쇄 및 필기용지의 경우 종이의 불투명도 저하는 인쇄 시 인쇄화상 뒤비침 현상으로 인하여 치명적인 악 영향을 초래한다. 종이의 불투명도를 개선하기 위하여 사용되는 가장 보편적인 방법은 충전제를 가능한 범 위내에서 많이 첨가시키는 것이다. 그러나 이 방법은 불투명도는 향상이 가능하나 미세분의 다량 발생에 의한 초지공정의 보류 및 폐수 문제, 종이의 강도 저하 문제를 야기 시킨다. 따라서 본 연구는 종이의 경량화에 수반되는 불투명도, 강도 문제의 지료 영향 인자인 섬유, 종이구조 및 충전제의 특성 등을 검토하여 보다 효율적인 지료조성 대책을 제시하고 충전제 첨가법을 개선하여 보류율을 향상시키고, 종이의 강도 감소율을 최소화하면서 불투 명도를 향상시킬 수 있는 효율적인 방법을 제시하기 위하여 수행 되었다. 구체적인 방법으로서는 펄프 및 충전물의 종류에 따른 종이의 물성과 불투명도의 변화를 관찰하였으며 또한 충전물의 충전시, 충전물의 보류를 향상시키면서 섬유간의 결합 방해를 최소화 시켜 종이의 본래 강도를 유지시키는 Fiber Loading의 새로운 방법인 Beater L Loading법을 시도하였다. 본 연구의 결과 수종간의 차이는 있었지만 활엽수 펄프가 칩엽수 펄프에 비해 불투명도 및 백색도 등의 광학적 성질이 우수한 것으로 나타나 펄프 종류및 수종의 적절한 선택에 의 하여 종이의 광학적 성질을 어느 정도 높일 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 충전물을 Beater Loading에 의해 첨가하였을 경우가 일반적인 Loading보다 보류 율이 좋았고 종이의 불투명도와 강도도 높게 나타났었다. 이러한 실험결과로 보아 일반적인 Loading 방법보다 Beater Loading법이 강도의 손실없이 불투명도를 높일 수 있는 효과적인 수단이 될 것으로 생각된다.

Hemp bast pulp cooked at temperature below $100^{\circ}C$ followed by defibration by the knife and the valley beater, respectively was mixed with softwood pulp varying the amount of hemp pulp in order to find the optimum condition for making hemp-wood paper. Both the knife and the valley beaters contributed to the dispersion of pulp fiber well. Lots of shives were found when the knife beater was applied exclusively, but the fibers were dispersed well when freeness dropped to 600 mL CSF and 500 mL CSF by the valley beater. Air resistance decreased drastically below 500 mL CSF where rapid disrupture of pulp fiber occurred. As the values for freeness and hemp fiber content increased, so did roughness and bulk. It was apparent that the tear strength of hemp-wood paper was on the rise drastically as hemp fiber content increased. Nevertheless the optimum hemp fiber content of hemp-wood paper would be 20% considering the decrease in both tensile and burst strengths as well as sheet formation.

Different methodologies in hair cortisol extraction may alter the final output. Thus finding the standard methodology according to a laboratory facilities is pivotal. This study was carried out to validate the feasibility of two methods of grinding hair for cortisol extraction in Korean native (Hanwoo) cattle. Hair from nine cattle including mature cows, heifers, and calves were assigned to one of the following methods for grinding hair; 1) using bead beater (BB) and 2) using surgical scissors (SS). Hair samples (> 1 g) were harvested from forehead of each individual twice (first and second measurement) to validate the results. To improve the accuracy of the obtained data, each sample was duplicated into two wells during enzyme immunoassay (EIA) analysis. Overall comparison of hair cortisol concentration (HCC) showed that the data within the range (out of the range) of standards provided by the EIA kit were 88.9% (11.1%) and 66.7% (33.3%) for BB compared with SS, respectively. In the first measurement, application of BB was tended to show higher (p = 0.056) amount of HCC compared with SS. In the second measurement application of BB showed higher (p = 0.0028) amount of HCC compared with SS. Among the cattle, calves showed higher HCC using BB compared with SS (p < 0.05). Application of BB in hair grinding methodology for Hanwoo cattle may improve cortisol extraction in comparison to application of SS method, with more consistency. Thus, it would be the preferable method to use.

To increase the strength properties of recycled fiber, especially OCC (Old Corrugated Container) in this study, we used the mechanical pretreatment on the fibers before refining. The mechanical action in the Hobart mixer induced high shear and compression on the fibers, which resulted in the breakdowns of fiber internal structure, and microcompressions on the surface of the fibers. We evaluated the degree of mechanical treatment by fiber curl index. Four different refining techniques were applied to the pretreated fibers (Valley beater, Kady mill, PFI mill, and Impact refining) to find the best combination of the pretreatment and the refining methods. Conclusions were summarized as followed. 1. In keeping the fiber length from shortening, Kady mill and PFI mill refining were effective. Kady mill and Valley beater application tended to straighten out the fiber shapes. 2. Valley beating increased the breaking length of the handsheets better than other methods, while lowering the tear strength most. The mechanical pretreatment increased breaking length about 10% in average irrespective of four different refining methods. 3. Tear strength was increased by the mechanical pretreatment and by the PFI mill refining. 4. Burst strength was increased by the mechanical pretreatment and by valley beating method. 5. In increasing the breaking length and burst strength while keeping tear strength, combination of mechanical pretreatment and Valley beating were most effective.

The use of bark cloth, made of the inner bark of certain trees, was widespread along tropical zones from the Africa to the Hawaii encompassing the globe. They include Malaysia, Indonesia, New Guinea, Polynesian Islands and South America. Among them the Hawaiian bark cloth, named Kapa(pronounced as tapa) was rated as the best quality and most admired. It has variety in designs and colors as well as the most sophistcated production methods. The distinct processes of kapa making are composed of two stages. The first is called first beating and it is a preparatory stage to beat the sea-water soaked bast. It was done with a round beater on a stone anvil. The second beating process was carried out with the squared beater and wooden anvil. The strips from the first beating was soaked again in the water and then beaten lightly to break up fibers. The craftmen laid a bundle of strips over the anvil and beat it into pieces of kapa. The second beater of Hawaii was the most characteristic one among bark cloth producing countries. On their surfaces were the engraved patterns, which were creation of theirs. These distinguished designs enabled them to produce the kapa with the thinner and finer texture and an elaboration of impressed designs known as "watermaks". The Hawaiian culture was self-sufficient one : Everything they used was of their own creation until 19th century. Among their inventions of printing designs on kapa are three most important and distinguished processes. They are the overlaying, the cord snapping and the block printing techniques. Their inventiveness as well as self sufficient environment made it possible to develop their fine art of the kapa making. It is said that the mass producing and cheap western technology of loom forced them to gradually abandon their traditional art and as a result this fine and valuable legacy of Hawaiian traditional kapa making technique is all but disappeared. However it is encouraging and heart warming to find that some of the people as well as specialized researchers pined together to form a group to try to reproduce the old kapa and study the traditional art. They consider the kapa as an expression of the ethnic identity with Hawaii's heritage as well as valuable art of human history.
