This study was conducted to evaluate sensory properties of sugar cookie containing sucralose. Relative sweetness of sucralose to sucrose in a cookie system was examined with paired comparison tests and the result was applied to low calorie cookie preparation using polydextrose as a bulking agent. Physical and sensory properties and consumer acceptability of sugar cookies containing various levels of sucralose and polydextrose were evaluated. Relative sweetness of sucralose to sucrose was 700 times in sugar cookie. Instrumental hardness and fracturability increased as the levels of replacement with sucralose increased. Spread ratios of sugar cookies where sucrose was partially and totally replaced with sucralose and corresponding amount of polydextrose were higher than that with sucrose only. Intensities of bitter taste, salty taste, hardness and molar packing of sugar cookies where sucrose was entirely replaced with sucralose and polydextrose were higher than that those of the other cookies. Acceptability test indicated 75% replacement with sucralose and adequate amount of polydextrose can be used without harming overall, appearance and flavor acceptability while texture acceptability was slightly lower.

Most of biological treatment to remove contaminants in municipal wastewater have been conducted by activated sludge process. But, the process have several probIems such as enormous site needed for construction of treatment facilities, unstable treatment due to limited ability to control load fluctuation, frequent sludge bulking and appearance of lots of surplus sludge. In this study, the experiments were performed through submerging biofilm of PEPP media in existing aeration tank with raw water from municipal wastewater treatment plant and then submerging PVDC and PEPP media, different from shape and chemical peculiarity in anoxic reactor. Throughout the experience, nutrient removal efficiency according to HRT, nitrogen phosphorous removal efficiency, behavior of nitrogen and dewatering efficiency have been compared and analysed with those of activated sludge process. As the results, BOD removal efficiency according to BOD volumetric load and F/M ratio was not found any differency in two processes, but was decreased below 90% as going along the condition of high load in activated sludge process. Kinetic coefficient was $K_{max}=1.162day^{-1}$, $K_s=53.77mg/L$, $Y=0.166mgVSS/mgBOD_{rem}$. and $K_d=0.019day^{-1}$. It was found that the removal efficiency, even though in aerobic condition, in biofilm process equipped anoxic reactor was higher than the one in activated sludge process within the range of 70~80%, and became better as HRT increased. Phosphorous removal efficiency was not found any differency in two processes. In biofilm process, treament efficiency even in conditions of high load was not decreased, because the biomass concentration could be maintained in high condition compared with activated sludge process. As HRT increased, suspended and attached biomass was increased and the other hand, F/M ratio was decreased as biomass' increasing. Biomass thickness was increased. from $10.43{\mu}m$ to $10.55{\mu}m$ as HRT increased and density of biomass within $40.79{\sim}41.16mg/cm^2$. The results also present that the dewatering efficiency of sludge generated in biofilm process was higher than in activated sludge process, and became better as HRT increased.

This study investigates the react characteristics to suggest the condition of the utilization and disintegration of food garbage as composting by varying the supply amount of air of the fermentation reactors. With the initial temperature and agitation velocity maintained 50$\circ$C and 1 rpm, the supply amount of air gives variety to 0.5, 1, 2, 4 l/kg$\cdot$ min. In the case of the amount of air operated at the 0.5 l/kg$\cdot$ min, reaction temperature shows a rising to the maximum 66$\circ$C after the 48hr, and the oxygen used rate of the micro-organisms shows the largest level at 18.4% after the 8hr. In the case of $NH_3, H_2, H_2S$ and SO$_2$ among the react gas, the sanitary utilization shows the possibility of the microorganisms gas disintegration, with most high gas generate rate. In the case of the amount of air operated at the 1, 2 and 4 l/kg$\cdot$ min, initial react was advanced rapidly and the product of the 72 hr after shows big weight reduction. As the experimentation result, when the amount of air operated at the 1 l/kg$\cdot$ min over, the reduction by disintegration would be more effectively, for the reactor maintains the color tone and shape of the straw (bulking agent).

A fundamental study on composting garbage was performed in a laboratory scale of a high-speed composting reactor. Major parameters were moisture content, temperature and C/N ratio. The results are as follows; pH of the compost was the highest at moisture 60% and anaerobic condition occurred at 70%. It was, also, found that C/N ratio, caused a nitrogen loss due to an occurrence of plentiful $NH_3$. Under controlling Temperature, pH was the highest at $60^{\circ}C$ and an inverse effect for Composting occurred under excessive Temperature as pH at $70^{\circ}C$ was lower than that of soil. The variation of pH and C/N ratio was the lowest when C/N ratio was 25. The results obtained from composting garbage revealed that the best condition of composting occurred under 50 to 60% of moisture content, $60^{\circ}C$ of temperature, and 25 of C/N ratio. It is believed that composting may be finished with in 56 hours if an optimal condition is setting up.

A steel plated is typically composed of plate panels. The overall failure of the structure is certainly affected and can be governed by the bulking and plastic collapse of these individual members. In the ultimate limit state design, therefore, a primary task is to accurately calculate the buckling and plastic collapse strength of such structural members. Structural elements making up steel palated structures do not work separately, resulting in high degree of redundancy and complexity in contrast to those of steel framed structures. To enable the behavior of such structures to be analyzed, simplifications or idealizations must essentially be made considering the accuracy need and degree of complexity of the analysis to be used. Generally the more complex the analysis the greater is the accuracy that may be obtained. The aim of this study is the investigation of the effect of the tripping behaviour including section characteristic for a plate under uniaxial compression. For this purpose of study, in used elasto-plasticity deformation FEA method are used for this study.

Filamentous bacteria and other large microorganisms, which are useful indicators of bulking and poeration, were identified by microscopic observation. Activated sludge samples were taken from the aeration basin of 5 municipal wasterwater plants and 6 industrial ones. Among the filamentous bacteria founds, Microthrix parvicella was most frequently present, followed by type 0041, type 1701 and Nocardia. This frequency of occurrence was similar to those reorted in USA and the Neterland. The morphology of filamentous bacteria observed were generally identical with those previously reported. except type 1701 which had slender filament diameter. Among protozoa, Vorticella was most frequently present, followed by Aspidisca, Opercularia and Difflugia. Philodina was the only metazoa observed. Both filamentous bacteria and protozoa would be useful indicator organisms. The potential for these organisms as indicators were discussed.

A sundry system is one of popular systems for composting livestock manure, of which main honest is to utilize unlimited, clean, and free solar radiation. A sundry system with a composter of two horizontal screw-type concrete ducts at different height, was constructed and operated for three days for each test in May, 1993, to evaluate its composting performance. Four treatments of the mixture ratio of swine manure and saw dust (manure : sawdust= 1 : 1.25, 1 : 1, 1 : 0.7, 1 : 0.5) were implemented to evaluate the effect of the mixture ratio on degradation of the composting materials of a sundry system with a screw-type composter. Maximum temperature of the composting materials was over 5$0^{\circ}C$ at D1 or D2 (one or two days after operation starts) for each test. Mean C/N ratio and water contents of the materials were reduced by more than 15 and 20％, respectively. Microbial density of each test showed a typical variation with the lapse of the composting time. Mesophilic microorganism seemed to play more important role on degradation of the materials than thermophilic. A sundry system with a screw-type composter can be considered as a feasible system on basis of maturity data. The conclusion was completely reverse from that of Choi et at., although both adopted a sundry system. A further study is recommended to pursue the cause of better performance of the screw-type composter, whether it was due to affirmative weather or more efficient composter.

Enzymatically hydrolyzed vegetable protein (eHVP) was produced from soy protein using proteases, and the physicochemical properties were examined. Soy protein hydrolysate of 6% protein and 50% degree of hydrolysis was useful for the base of savory ingredients. The Maillard-reacted and flavoring compound-added hydrolysate had improved flavor. It was for enzymatically hydrolyzed soy sauces and dehydrated seasonings. ISP hydrolysate of low molecular weight $(MW{\sim}250)$ and high protein content (85%) was suitable for special uses such as infant diets, sports nutrition, and medical diets. The eHVP gave no limitation of dosage in the formulation as a flavor enhancer. The byproduct of protein hydrolysis was found to have high content of fiber (21%) and to have potential for the use as dietary fiber or bulking agents.

Jabon (Anthocephalus cadamba) is a fast-growing wood species that is widely utilized for light construction and other purposes in Indonesia. The objectives of the current study were to determine the effects of monoethylene glycol (MEG) and SiO₂ nanoparticles (nano SiO₂) impregnation treatment on the dimensional stability and density of jabon wood and to identify the characteristics of impregnated jabon wood. Wood samples were immersed in water (as untreated), MEG, 0.5% MEGSiO₂, then impregnated by applying 0.5 bar of vacuum for 60 min, and then applying 2.5 bar of pressure for 120 min. The results showed that impregnation with MEG and Nano SiO₂ had a significant effect on the dimensional stability of jabon wood. Polymers can fill cell walls in wood indicated by increasing weight percentgain, antiswelling efficiency, bulking effect, and density, then decreasing in water uptake value. Jabon wood morphology by using SEM showed that MEGSiO₂ polymers can cover part of the pitsin the wood vessel wall of jabon. This finding was reinforced by EDX results showing that the silicon content was increased due to the addition of SiO₂ nano. The XRD diffraction pattern indicated that MEGSiO₂ treatment increased the degree of crystallinity in wood samples. Overall, treatment with 0.5% MEGSiO₂ led to the most improvement in the dimensional stability of 5-year-old jabon wood in this study.
