A fresh vegetable and fruit juice has become a new healthy food available for detoxification, dieting and health. This paper presents the useful information about the quality changes of fresh juice according to different juicer. Quality of fresh juice could be evaluated by several factors such as juice yield, enzyme activity, antioxidant activity, polyphenol contents, and anti-inflammatory activity. The juice yields of 12 different vegetables and fruits were compared using 6 different juicers and it was observed that the yield of slow juicer was better than that of conventional blender. Among 12 samples, the juice yield of grape is the best and the pH of the juice was in the acidic range of 3 and 4. Kiwi and grapefruit were the best in terms of protease enzyme activities by Hemoglobin units on the tyrosine basis and Spectrophotometric acid protease unit and papain units on the tyrosine basis of KFDA protocols. The total polyphenol contents were also high in kiwi and grapefruit. The antioxidant activity by diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and radical scavenging assay were high in the order of kiwi, grapefruit, grape, tomato, and orange. Anti-inflammatory activities were also assay for 12 samples with 6 juicers. It can be concluded that of fresh fruit and vegetable juice provides a source of antioxidant components and enzymes with high activity. And the enzyme activities could be used as one of the quality indicator of fresh juice. Concerning the juicers used in this study, slow juicer could be recommended to prepare the fresh juice in terms of the juice quality.

seeding rates(1.5,2.0,3.0 and 3.5$\ell$/10a). There were no differences in the yield components such as length of stem and ear diameter of stem number of branch, internode and ear, and yield of fresh and dry stem between the seeding methods with drilling and broadcasting, but yield components such as length of stem and ear, diameter of stem, number of branch, internode and ear, and yield of fresh and dry stem increased with seeding rates of from 2.5$\ell$ /10a to 3.5$\ell$/10a. Therefore potimum rates and methods of sowing were from 2.5$\ell$/10a to 3.5$\ell$/10a with seeding at the drilling and broadcasting.

This study was carried out to determine the effect of sowing time on the flowering, growth and yield of Schizonepeta tenuifolia Briquet. Emergence and flowering dates in the sowing time from March 30 to April 30 were earlier than those of the other sowing times. In the sowing time from March 30 to April 30, length and diameter of main stem, number of node per main stem, number of branch per plant and fresh, and dry weight of stem were greater than those of the other sowing times. Yield components such as ear length, main stem length and diameter, branches per plant, number of node and ears per plant, yield of stem in fresh and dry were the highest at the sowing time from March 30 to April 30. Optimum sowing time of Schizonepeta tenuifolia Briquet were shown to be from March 30 to April 30 in southern areas of Korea.

In this paper, time-continuous constitutive equations for strain rate-dependent materials are presented first, among which those for the overstress and the consistency viscoplastic models are considered. By allowing the stress states to be outside the yield surface, the overstress viscoplastic model directly defines the flow rule for viscoplastic strain rate. In comparison, a rate-dependent yield surface is defined in the consistency viscoplastic model, so that the standard Kuhn-Tucker loading/unloading condition still remains true for rate-dependent plasticity. Based on the formulation of the consistency viscoplasticity, a computational elasto-viscoplastic constitutive model is proposed for the short fiber-reinforced fresh cementitious paste for extrusion purpose. The proposed constitutive model adopts the von-Mises yield criterion, the associated flow rule and nonlinear strain rate-hardening law. It is found that the predicted flow stresses of the extrudable fresh cementitious paste agree well with experimental results. The rate-form constitutive equations are then integrated into an incremental formulation, which is implemented into a numerical framework based on ANSYS/LS-DYNA finite element code. Then, a series of upsetting and ram extrusion processes are simulated. It is found that the predicted forming load-time data are in good agreement with experimental results, suggesting that the proposed constitutive model could describe the elasto-viscoplastic behavior of the short fiber-reinforced extrudable fresh cementitious paste.

Variation of major characteristics of 140 sweet sorghum germplasm which had been collected from domestic and foreign countries were investigated to study the possibility of bioethanol production in reclamed soil of Korea. Averages of culm length, ear length, the number of nodes, stem diameter, fresh weight yield, and growth duration from seeding to heading were 175 cm, 26 cm, 9, 11.6 mm, 12.1 t/ha, and 96 days, respectively. Sugar content, which has a great effect on bioethanol, ranged from 5.7 to 23.5 Brix (average 14.1 Brix). Sugar contents of selected two varieties were more than 20 Brix. Fresh weight yield ranged from 20 to 50 t/ha (average 12.1 t/ha). Fresh weight yield of selected three varieties were more than 30 t/ha. Culm length showed highly significant positive correlation with the ear length, the number of nodes, stem diameter, fresh weight yield, and growth duration from seeding to heading. The number of node showed highly significant positive correlation with stem diameter and fresh weight yield. Fresh weight yield showed highly significant positive correlation with culm length, the number of nodes, stem diameter, and growth duration from seeding to heading.

This study were conducted to determine the optimum warm casting rate(0, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500kg/10a) for the yield of food canna in jeju island. The plant height was ranged from 109.4 to 1347cm as organic fertilizer of worm casting increased from 0 to 500kg/10a, but it was no significance between 400 to 500kg/10a. Leaf length, leaf width, number of leaves, number of tillers and bulb per plant were shown higher as the amount of worm casting was increased. Stem diameter were the same trend with plant height response. Fresh yield of food canna increased significantly 134 to 22.6MT/ha as fertilizer rate increased from 0 to 500kg/10a. Fresh weight of above-ground pan and blub were shown the same trend with fresh yield of food canna.

Rheological behaviour of fresh concrete is an important factor in controlling concrete quality. It is recognized that the measurement of the slump is not a sufficient test method to adequately characterize the rheology of fresh concrete. To further understand the slump measurement and its relationship to the rheological properties, an elasto-viscoplastic, 2-D axisymmetric finite element (FE) model is developed. The FE model employs the Bingham material model to simulate the flow of a slump test. An experimental program is carried out using the Slump Rate Machine (SLRM_II) to evaluate the finite element simulation results. The simulated slump-versus-time curves are found to be in good agreement with the measured data. A sensitivity study is performed to evaluate the effects of yield stress, plastic viscosity and cone withdrawal rate on the measured flow curve using the FE model. The results demonstrate that the computed yield stress compares well with reported experimental data. The flow behaviour is shown to be influenced by the yield stress, plastic viscosity and the cone withdrawal rate. Further, it is found that the value of the apparent plastic viscosity is different from the true viscosity, with the difference depending on the cone withdrawal rate. It is also confirmed that the value of the final slump is most influenced by the yield stress.

A sweet sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] cultivar was planted on 9 and 30 June 2000 at plant densities of 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 plants $m^{-2}$ to determine the optimum plant density in Jeju region. There were no significant planting date x plant density interactions for most traits measured. Delaying planting from 9 to 30 June delayed 21 days in heading date, and significantly decreased plant height, the number of productive stems $m^{-2}$/, and lodging. Fresh stem yield tended to be higher at the 9 June planting date than at the 30 June planting date, but total sugar and ethanol yields were not significantly affected by planting date. Percentage of soluble solid was higher at the 30 June planting date compared with the 9 June planting date. Fresh stem, total sugar, and ethanol yields quadractically increased from 22.9 to 36.7 $t^{-1}$, from 1.66 to 2.54 $t^{-1}$, and from 945 to 1440 $L^{-1}$, respectively, with increasing plant density. The optimal plant densities for the maximum fresh stem, total sugar, and ethanol were estimated to be 10.7, 9.6, and 9.9 plants $m^{-2}$ respectively.

The effects of pretreatment by freezing on juice expression and drying characteristics of Prunus mume fruit were investigated. Fresh fruit slices were frozen at $-20^{\circ}C$, thawed, and then either pressed (to yield juice) or dried. Fresh fruit slices were used as controls. Both juice yield and drying rate were higher when pre-frozen fruit was tested, compared to fresh fruit. The L and b color values were lower in the juice and dried powder of pre-frozen compared to fresh fruit. The a color value was higher in juice and powder prepared from pre-frozen fruit compared to fresh fruit. There was no significant difference in free sugar or organic acid content between juices and powders from pre-frozen and fresh fruit. None of soluble solid content, titratable acidity, or juice pH was affected by freezing pretreatment. The results suggest that such pretreatment may be useful to increase juice yield and drying rate. However, browning of juice and powder may be elevated.

The yield of oil was rapidly increased at $440^{\circ}C$ compared to $400^{\circ}C$ and $420^{\circ}C$ when the isothermal pyrolysis of waste ship lubricating oil was carried out in tubular type reactor, and pyrolysis was almost finished within 30 min. The yield of gas was decreased depending on the reaction temperature in which that of solid was not much changed. Pyrolysis experiments of waste ship lubricating oil were carried out with used ZSM-5 produced from a petrochemical process. The yield of gas was highly increased in the case of used ZSM-5 and fresh ZSM-5 compared to the case without catalyst. The produced oil and gas were almost constant for fresh ZSM-5 and used ZSM-5 at the same reaction temperature. In the reaction temperature $400{\sim}440^{\circ}C$, the selectivity of $C_5-C_{11}$ was two times higher with fresh ZSM-5 and used ZSM-5 than the case without catalyst.
