In order to investigate the change of physiological active compounds in buckwheat with soil chemical properties and soil conditioners, we cultured buckwheat at an experimental open field station, Chonnam Provincial Agicultual Reserch and Extension Service. Fatty acids, phenolic compounds and tyrosinase inhibitory activity (TIA) from buckwheat grains and plants were analyzed. The contents of fatty acids in buckwheat plants was less than that of buckwheat grain. The fatty acids of buckwheat plants and grains were composed of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. The contents of unsaturated fatty acids were more than saturated fatty acids. The phenolic compounds in buckwheat were from $682.6mg\;kg^{-1}$ to $1822mg\;kg^{-1}$. The phenolic compounds in buckwheat with addition of applied lime were $1822mg\;kg^{-1}$. It was higher than any other plot. The tyrosinase inhibitory activity (TIA) of sediment c in buckwheat grain with addition of applied lime was 92.8%. It was more than that of sediment a, b or compound A, B, C within the same treatment. But the TIA of compound C in buckwheat with application of borax was 81.0%. It was highest of all sediments and compounds within the same treatment.

In this study, the marker compound contents of both the taproot and lateral root of Danshen (Salvia miltiorrhiza Radix), which is cultivated in Korea, were investigated. The salvianolic acid B content was the highest in the taproot (5.17-6.75%) and lateral root (3.99-5.69%). The cryptotanshinone, tanshinone I, and tanshinone IIA contents were higher in the lateral root than in the taproot of Danshen (p <0.05). Principal component analysis results revealed that the taproot was correlated to the salvianic acid A, rosmarinic acid, salvianolic acid B, and salvianolic acid A contents, whereas the lateral root was correlated to the cryptotanshinone, tanshinone I, and tanshinone IIA contents. The total phenolic content and total flavonoid content of the taproot were higher than those of the lateral root (p <0.05); however, the antioxidant activities of the taproot and lateral root of Danshen were similar. The salvianolic acid B content was correlated to the TPC of the taproot (r=0.748) and the 2,2-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid radical scavenging activity of the lateral root (r=0.847). This study could provide useful information for the classification of Danshen as a herbal medicinal product.

This paper was focused on the wear characteristics of ion-nitrided metal and with ion-nitride processing, which is basically concerned with the effects of carbon content in workpiece and added carbon content gas atmosphere on the best wear performance. Increased carbon content in workpiece increases compound layer thickness, but decreases diffusion layer thickness. On the other hand, a small optimal amount of carbon content in gas atmosphere increase compound layer thickness as well as diffusion layer thickness and hardness. Wear tests show that the compound layer of ion-nitrided metal reduces wear rate when the applied wear load is small. However, as the load becomes large, the existence of compound layer tends to increase wear rate. Compressive residual stress at the compound layer is the largest at the compound layer, and decreases as the depth from the surface increases. It is found in the analysis that under small applied load, the critical depth where voids and cracks may be created and propagated is located at the compound layer, so that the adhesive wear is created and the existence of compound layer reduces the amount of wear. When the load becomes large, the critical depth is located below the compound layer and delamination, which may explained by surface deformation, crack nucleation and propagation, is created and the existence of compound layer increases wear rate. For the compound layer, at added carbon contents of 0 percent and 0.5 at. percent, the $\varepsilon$ monophase is predominant. But at 0.7 at. percent added carbon, the $\varepsilon$ monophase formation tends to be severely inhibited and r' and $Fe_3C$ polyphase formation becomes dominant. This increased hard $\varepsilon$ phase layer was observed to be more beneficial in reducing friction and wear.

We previously reported that caffeic acid isolated from Lonicera japonica showed potent neuroprotective activities against glutamate injured neuronal cell death in primary cortical cells. In this study, we tried to confirm the neuroprotective activity in glutamate injured HT22 cells and elucidate mechanisms of neuroprotective action of caffeic acid. We used glutamate induced HT22 cell death as a bioassay system. The compound decreased reactive oxygen species increased by high concentration of glutamate treatment in HT22 cells. Also, Ca²⁺ concentration was decreased by this compound. This compound made mitochondrial membrane potential maintain to normal condition. This also affected anti-oxidative enzymes and glutathione contents. Treatment of this compound increased not only glutathione reductase and peroxidase to the control level and also amount of glutathione, an endogeneous antioxidant. These experimental results showed that caffeic acid isolated from L. japonica exerted potent neuroprotective activity through the anti-oxidative pathway.

Americal A from the seeds of Phytolacca americana, was investigated for the antiinflammatory activity. The compound significantly inhibited edema induction, granuloma formation, arthritis induction and leucocyte emigration in CMC-pouch. But its anticarrageenin activity was not exhibited in adrenalectomized rats. These findings together with decrease in the contents of ascorbic acid and cholesterol in adrenals by administration of the compound suggest that its activity is mediated through stimulation of the pituitary-adrenal axis. The acute toxicity of the compound is very weak and gastric ulceration was not produced by the compound.

A tri-thiocyanate molybdenum (Ⅴ) complex containing pyridine has been prepared by one step process; namely, the solvent extraction of molybdenum (Ⅴ)-thiocyanate complex into organic solvents followed by precipitation of the compound by addition of pyridine to the extract. It is concluded that the compound has a definite composition regardless of the various mole ratios of molybdenum to thiocyanate ion employed in the preparation. The use of hydrazine as the reducing agent eliminates the necessity of working under inert atmosphere and of further purification of the product. Molybdenum (Ⅴ)-thiocyanate (1:3) complex can be quantitatively and selectively extracted with slightly polar organic solvents such as ethyl acetate, and the pyridine complex is quantitatively obtained due to the insolubility of the compound in them. The oxidation state of molybdenum in the compound is + 5 and the formula appears to be $MoH_2O_2(NCS)_3Py_2$ from the contents of Mo and NCS in the compound. The solubility of the compound in various has been studied at $25^{\circ}C$.

In the case of dipping the Ni-Resist cast iron into molten aluminum with iron content, the thickness of intermetallic compound was remarkably increased with increasing iron content. The thickness was shown by following equation in the range of 1-3% iron content; $x=22.5t^{1/2}+4.47{\cdot}t{\cdot}(Fe%)$. where, x is thickness(${\mu}m$), t the time (minute), Fe% the iron w/o. When the Ni-Resist cast iron was dipped into the molten aluminum containing zinc content, the intermetallic compound thickness was also increased with increasing zinc contents. And thickness was represented by the following equation in the range of 2-10% zinc content; $x=3.46t^{1/2}+0.27{\cdot}t{\cdot}(Zn%)$. However, in the case of dipping the Ni-resist cast iron into molten aluminum with silicon content, the thickness of intermetallic compound was decreased with increasing silicon content, as shown in the following equation; $x=7.17t^{1/2}-0.15{\cdot}t{\cdot}(Si%)$. The intermetallic compound formed onto Ni-Resist cast iron was identified to be $FeAl_3\;and\;Fe_3Al$. As the result of hardness measurement, the peak hardness appeared in the intermetallic compound at near interface of the cast iron and the compound.

This paper presents chunking strategy of a contiguous nouns sequence using semantic class. We call contiguous nouns which can be treated like a noun the compound noun phrase. We use noun pairs extracted from a syntactic tagged corpus and their semantic class pairs for chunking of the compound noun phrase. For reliability, these noun pairs and semantic classes are built from a syntactic tagged corpus and detailed dictionary in the Sejong corpus. The compound noun phrase of arbitrary length can also be chunked by these information. The 38,940 pairs of 'left noun - right noun', 65,629 pairs of 'left noun - semantic class of right noun', 46,094 pairs of 'semantic class of left noun - right noun', and 45,243 pairs of 'semantic class of left noun - semantic class of right noun' are used for compound noun phrase chunking. The test data are untrained 1,000 sentences with contiguous nouns of length more than 2randomly selected from Sejong morphological tagged corpus. Our experimental result is 86.89% precision, 80.48% recall, and 83.56% f-measure.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the bioactive compounds of soybean snacks and to carry out a sensory evaluation of those variations which had various seasoning mixing ratio. Five soybean snacks were developed for these experiments. Proximate composition, the contents of total phenol compounds and isoflavone, and sensory characteristics of the soybean snacks were measured. There were significant differences in amounts of isoflavones and total phenolic compounds of soybean snacks($p$ <0.05). The seasoned soybean snacks had a higher level of daidzein and genistein contents than did control group. The total phenol compound contents of the control group was 210.3 mg gallic acid equivalents/100 g, whereas those for individual soybean snacks(A~E) were 152.3, 160.2, 162.4, 158.4 and 164.6 mg gallic acid equivalents/100 g, respectively. In sensory evaluation, there were significant differences($p$ <0.05) in taste, texture, and overall acceptability of the soybean snacks.
