Effects of washing and additives on the texture of squid surimi gel which has been known to hard to gelation due to high protease activities and many water solubles were studied by SDS-PAGE, compression test, jelly strength and transmission electron microscopy analysis (TEM). Myosin (205 kDa) heavy chain was the major protein in water soluble fractions. It was impossible to make a gel after washing of the minced squid meat. These results suggested that squid (Todarodes pacificus) minced meat does not need a washing for good jelly products. $3.0\%$ of bovine plasma protein (BPP) produced the hardest gel ($16\%$ harder than the control) among the additives including egg white (EW), potato extracts (PE) and transglutaminase-K (TG-K) by compression test (P>0.05). Microstructure of control, $2\%$ EW and $4\%$ TG-K treated gels showed a sponge-like structure with more vacant space. Gels containing $3\%$ BPP formed the most rigid and arranged networks. Those results indicates that poor gel-network formation Was due to the degradation of myofibrillar proteins by proteases contained in the minced meat, which result in non-interlinkage.

PURPOSE: The purpose of present study was to investigate effects of obesity, blood pressure and life style on lipid indices and blood pressure in men of age 40s. METHODS: One hundred forty five subjects in men of age 40s were participated in this study. All participants were taken physical examination, lifestyle survey and laboratory test. According to examination, participants were divided into two group in four categories ; obesity and normal group, hypertension and normal group, smokers and non-smokers, and drinkers and non-drinkers. The low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were analyzed by independent t-test for comparison between two groups. RESULTS: The values of LDL, TC, SBP, DBP were higher and HDL was lower in obesity than in normal group (p<.05). The values of LDL, TC, SBP, DBP were higher in hypertension group than in normal group (p<.05). The values of TG was higher and HDL was lower in smokers than in non-smokers (p<.05). There's no significant differences between drinkers and non-drinkers (p>.05). CONCLUSION: It can be seen that obesity and blood pressure were more relative risk factors than smoking and alcohol indices in cardiovascular diseases.

Pancreatic lipase-inhibitory activity of the rhizome of Rhei Rhizoma and its antihyperlipidemic activity were measured. Rhei Rhizoma inhibited pancreatic lipase with $IC_{50}$ value of 6.5 mg/ml (triolein as a substrate). Rhei Rhizoma significantly inhibited serum TG level in corn oil feeding-induced mice, and serum TG and cholesterol in Triton WR-1339-induced hyperlipidemic mice. However, Rhei Rhizoma did not show the hypolipidemic activity in high cholesterol diet-induced hyperlipidemic mice. When in vitro pancreatic lipase-inhibitory and in vivo antihyperlipidemic activities of Whangryunhaedoktang (WT) and Chunghyuldan (CD), which is consisted of ingredients of WT and Rhei Rhizoma, were measured, CD exhibited more potent inhibitory activities than WT. Therefore these results suggest that antihyperlipidemic activity of Rhei Rhizoma and CD may be more or less originated from the inhibition of pancreatic lipase.

The thermal degradation of poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) and poly($\alpha$-methylstyrene-co-acrylonitrile)(SAN) mixtures were carried out using the thermogravimetry(TG) and differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) in the stream of nitrogen and air with 50 ml/min at the various heating rate from 4 to $20^{\circ}C/min$ and temperature from 20 to $500^{\circ}C$. The value of activation energies of thermal degradation determined by TG and DSC in the various PMMA/SAN mixtures were 34-54 kcal/mol in the stream of nitrogen. The value of activation energy of SAN 60% mixture were appeared high in comparison with addition rule. PMMA/SAN mixtures by the analysis of infrared spectrophotometer were decomposed by main chain scission in the stream of nitrogen.

Alumina powders used as a filler in rubber compounding was extracted from kaolin in $H_2SO_4$ solution employing conventional thermal and microwave energy resources. Maximum degrees of alumina extraction from kaolin were 72.8% at $80^{\circ}C$, 1M $H_2SO_4$, and 180min in the conventional thermal extraction process and were 99.0% at $90^{\circ}C$, 1M $H_2SO_4$,, and 60min in the microwave extraction one, respectively. The samples synthesized in both processes were analyzed by means of TG/DTA, XRD, SEM, Atomic Emission Spectroscopy, and BET method. Studies are presently under way to unravel the basic interaction mechanisms between microwave and alumina power for high rates of alumina extraction from kaolin in the microwave ex-traction process.

In this paper, we have investigated thermal properties by changing the content of carbon nanotube, which is component part of semiconductive shield in underground power transmission cable. Heat capacity (${\Delta}H$), glass transition temperature (Tg) and melting temperature (Tm) were measured with the samples of eight, through DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry), and the measurement ranges of temperature selected from $-100[^{\circ}C]\;to\;100[^{\circ}C]$ with heating temperature selected per $4[^{\circ}C/min]$ Also, high temperature, heat degradation initiation temperature, and heat weight loss were measured by TGA (Thermogravimetric Analysis) in the temperature from $0[^{\circ}C]\;to\;700[^{\circ}C]$ with rising temperature of $10[^{\circ}C/min]$. As a result, the Glass transition temperatures of the sample were showed near $-20[^{\circ}C]{\sim}25[^{\circ}C]$, and the heat capacity and melting temperature from the DSC was increased according to increasing the content of carbon nanotube, while, thermal diffusivity was increased according to increasing the content of carbon nanotube. Also, heat degradation initiation temperature from the TGA results was increasing according to increasing the content of carbon nanotube with CNT/EEA. Therefore, heat stabilities of EVA, which contained the we VA (vinyl acetate), showed the lowest.

p-(2-Vinyloxyethoxy)benzylidenemalononitrile 2 and methyl p-(2-vinyloxyethoxy)benzylidenecyanoacetate 3 was prepared by the condensation of p-(2-vinyloxyethoxy)benzaldehyde 1 with malononitrile or methyl cyanoacetate, respectively. Vinyl ether monomers 2 and 3 polymerized quantitatively with radical initiators in γ-butyrolactone solution at 65 ℃. The trisubstituted terminal double bond participated in the vinyl polymerization and radical polymerization of 2 and 3 led to swelling polymers 4 and 5 that were not soluble in common solvents due to cross-linking. Under the same polymerization conditions ethylvinyl ether polymerized well with model compounds of p-methoxybenzylidenemalononitrile 6 and methyl p-methoxybenzylidenecyanoacetate 7, respectively, to give 1:1 alternating copolymers 8 and 9 in high yields. Polymers 4 and 5 showed a thermal stability up to 300 ℃ without any characteristic Tg peaks in DSC thermograms. Alternating copolymers 8 and 9 were soluble in common solvents such as acetone and DMSO, and the inherent viscosities of the polymers were in the range of 0.36-0.74 dL/g. Films cast from acetone solution were cloudy and tough and Tg values obtained from DSC thermograms were in the range of 59-60 ℃.

This study investigated the thermogravimetric analysis of two types of cured tannin-based adhesives from wattle and pine, with three hardeners of paraformaldehyde, hexamethylenetetramine and TN (tris(hydroxyl)nitromethan), at a temperature of 170℃ and a heating rate of 5, 10, 20 and 40℃/min for 10 minutes. The 5 minutes cured wattle tannin-based adhesive with each hardener at 170℃ was also tested to compare the degree of curing. It was found that thermogravimetric analysis could be used to measure the degree of curing of a thermosetting adhesive. The TG-DTG curves of all the adhesive systems were similar and showed three steps in a similar way to a phenolic resin. This means that each adhesive system is well cross-linked. However, a high thermal decomposition rate was shown at 150 to 400℃ in the case of the pine tannin sample with TN (tris(hydroxyl)nitromethan). The Flynn & Wall expression was used to evaluate the activation energy for thermal decomposition. As the level of conversion (𝛼) increased, the activation energy of each system increased. The activation energy of the wattle tannin-based adhesive with paraformaldehyde was higher than the others.
