Effects of pressure and pressing time of soyprotein-CaSO4 coagulates on the yield, water holding capacity and textural characteristics of SPI (soy protein isolated) tofu were investigated. The tofu was prepared by addition of CaSO4 into SPI suspension at 9$0^{\circ}C$ and then compressed. As the compressing pressure increased from 8.66g /cm2 to 49.43g /cm2, the volume yield and moisture absorbed on filter paper were decreased and the textural properties of hardness, adhesiveness, cohesiveness and gumminess were increased. Increase in hardness and gumminess were more significant at high pressure than those at low pressure.

Aminoglycosidic antibiotics have multiple effects on muscle. For example, they have been shown to block L-type $Ca^{2+}$ channels in vascular smooth muscle, cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle. Possibly as a consequence of this effect on $Ca^{2+}$ influx, they have been shown to decrease the contractility of cardiac muscle (gentamicin). The present study evaluated the effects of gentamicin on blood pressure, vasorelaxation and left ventricular pressure. Gentamicin(10, 20, 40mg/kg) produced dose-dependent blood pressure lowering in rat. The pretreatment of MgSO$_4$ and imipramine (Na$^{+}$-Mg$^{2+}$ exchange inhibitor) had no effect in gentamicin-induced hypotension. However, the gentamicin-induced hypotension was significantly potentiated in the preincubation of verapamil or nifedipine (L-type $Ca^{2+}$ channel blockers), and was significantly attenuated by CaCl$_2$ and was slightly attenuated by caffeine (phosphodiesterase inhibitor). Gentamicin (10, 30, 100$\mu$g/m1) did not have an effect on relaxation of phenylephrine-precontracted aortic rings but high concentration of gentamicin(100, 300$\mu$g/ml) relaxed KCl-precontracted aortic rings, which relaxation was potentiated by treatment of nifedipine. Whereas gentamicin markedly decreased left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP) in perfused heart. These data suggest that gentamicin has significant blood pressure lowering of the rat, which seems to be mediated by calcium channel-sensitive pathway and blood $Ca^{2+}$ level may be important role in this response.

Previous researches and experiments have already verified that the primary noise source of high pressure tandem axial thpe piston pump is fluid-borne noise from the process of oil distribution between the kidney-shaped port and valve plate. So, many researchers have improved pressure gradients and reduced sound levels by applying pre-compression and pre-decompression metering grooves to valve plate. In practice however, the sound level of th high pressure tandem axial type piston pump is still undesirable. This paper testified the effect of pumping phase of the piston on vibration and noise of th high pressure tandem axial type piston pump on the best of theoretical research in $this^(1)$. Therefore considering the pumping phase of the piston when assembling the tandem axial type piston pump, it is possible to reduce 1.5~2[dB]of sound level.

The present study describes the prediction of the flow induced noise level of a high-speed rotating hexagonal disk and proposes the way how to reduce it. Since a hexagonal disk, which is used in the laser printer and named a Polygon mirror, has six sharp corners, there are low and high pressure regions on each of six edges when it rotates. Therefore, the pressure difference generates three dimension flow field and causes aerodynamic noise. The Ffowcs-Williams and Hawkings (FWH) method is employed for the analysis. We have measured the sound pressure levels and compared them with the computational results. The calculated sound pressure levels agree well with the experimental results. We modified the shape of the edges of a hexagonal disk to reduce the noise level and confirm their effects through numerical computation.

염 함량을 달리한 된장을 초고압 처리하여 미생물 저감특성을 조사함으로써 된장, 특히 저염 된장의 저장성을 높이기 위하여 초고압기술의 적용가능성을 검토하였다. 초고압처리에 의한 된장 미생물 사멸효과는 전반적으로 낮은것으로 나타났으며, 초고압처리에 의한 미생물 사멸효과는 염 함량에 반비례하는 경향을 보였다. 미생물 종류에 따른 초고압사멸효과는 곰팡이, 효모, 세균 순으로 낮아졌다. 염 함량 10% 이하의 저염 된장은 6500 기압에서 40 분간 초고압처리에 의해 곰팡이와 효모가 거의 사멸되었으며, 초고압처리는 저염 된장의 유통기간 향상에 기여할 것으로 기대되었다.

In this research, noise of the Korean high-speed train running at different speed from 150 to 300 km/h was measured by using microphones and the difference of sound pressure according to its driving velocities was analyzed. In addition, sound pressure characteristics of front, pantograph, bogies and between-car sections of the Korean high-speed trains were deduced by applying delay and sum beam-forming method using a microphone array. From the research, the effects of locations of the high-speed train were investigated. The results of this research can be utilized to reduce noise of a high-speed train.

The effects of excess salt ingestion or/and a prolonged electrical stimulation of the hypothalamus on the arterial blood pressure were studied in cats. The average mean arterial pressure determined in 12 control animals were $112.2{\pm}2.6\;mmHg$. In 15 animals in which 2% NaCl solution (2g/Kg of body wegight/day) was given for 20 days, average mean arterial pressure elevated to $147.7{\pm}6.1\;mmHg$. It was also found in four of them that salt-induced high blood pressure started to decline when salt solution was replaced by tap water. On the other hand, No change in average mean arterial pressure was observed in 10 animals, whose hypothalamus had been electrically stimulated for 28 days. In 11 animals in which the hypothalamus was stimulated with simultaneous excess salt ingestion for 20 days, there was a marked elevation in average mean arterial pressure which, however, does not significantly differ from that observed in excess salt ingested group. From the results obtained from the present experiment, it is concluded that 1) the hypertension is induced by an excess salt ingestion in cats, 2) the mean arterial pressure of cats is not affected at least by an increment of sympathetic tone for 4 weeks resulting from the electrical stimulation of posterior area of the hypothalamus, 3) in sodium·induced high blood pressure cats, four weeks of increment in sympathetic tone by the hypothalamic stimulation does not further elevate mean arterial pressure.

A reformer is a device for producing hydrogen used in fuel cells. Among them, methanol steam reformer uses methanol as fuel, which is present as a liquid at room temperature. It has the advantage of low operating temperature, high energy density, and high hydrogen production. The purpose of this study is to improve the internal flow of the pressure vessel when a bundle of methanol steam reformer in the pressure vessel goes out to a single outlet. An analysis of equilibrium reaction to methanol steam reforming reaction was conducted using Aspen HYSYS^® (Aspen Technology Inc., Bedford, USA), and based on the results, computational analysis was conducted using ANSYS Fluent^® (ANSYS, Inc., Canonsburg, USA). For comparison of the results, the height of the pressure vessel, outlet diameter, and fillet was set as variables, and the optimum geometry was selected by comparing the effects of gravity and the amount of negative pressure.

Background: Recently, there has been increasing worldwide concern about outdoor air pollution, especially particulate matter (PM), which has been extensively researched for its harmful effects on the respiratory system. However, sufficient research on its effects on cardiovascular diseases, such as hypertension, remains lacking. In this study, we examine the associations between PM levels and hypertension and hypothesize that higher PM concentrations are associated with elevated blood pressure. Methods: A total of 133,935 adults aged ≥ 40 years who participated in the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study were analyzed. Multiple linear regression analyses were conducted to investigate the short- (1-14 days), medium- (1 and 3 months), and long-term (1 and 2 years) impacts of PM on blood pressure. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to evaluate the medium- and long-term effects of PM on blood pressure elevation after adjusting for sex, age, body mass index, health-related lifestyle behaviors, and geographic areas. Results: Using multiple linear regression analyses, both crude and adjusted models generated positive estimates, indicating an association with increased blood pressure, with all results being statistically significant, with the exception of PM levels over the long-term period (1 and 2 years) in non-hypertensive participants. In the logistic regression analyses on non-hypertensive participants, moderate PM₁₀ (particulate matter with diameters < 10 ㎛) and PM_2.5 (particulate matter with diameters < 2.5 ㎛) levels over the long-term period and all high PM₁₀ and PM_2.5 levels were statistically significant after adjusting for various covariates. Notably, high PM_2.5 levels of the 1 year exhibited the highest odds ratio of 1.23 (95% confidence interval: 1.19-1.28) after adjustment. Conclusions: These findings suggest that both short- and long-term exposure to PM is associated with blood pressure elevation.
