This study aims to investigate the quality characteristics of breads with the addition of sweet pumpkin powder. Farinogram showed that the absorption rate of the dough decreased, the development time and stability became shortened, and the degree of attenuation tended to be grown along with increasing the amount of pumpkin powder. From the amylogram, it was found that the gelatinization starting temperature and the maximum viscosity of pumpkin powder added dough seemed to be decreased as the amount of pumpkin powder was increased. Extensogram showed that there was a decrease in the degree of extension of the dough added with increasing the amount of pumpkin powder, while an increase in the degree of resistance and resistance/extensibility. The lightness (L value) and redness (a value) of bread was found to be decreased with increasing the amount of pumpkin powder, while the yellowness (b value) increased. In terms of the dough texture, for which the hardness, cohesiveness and gumminess of the dough were measured, there were no significant differences between groups, while the dough added with 8.0% pumpkin powder showed a significant decrease in the elasticity. The results of sensory evaluation showed that the highest score of color (p<0.05) and taste (p<0.05) were obtained from the bread added with 6.0% and 8.0% pumpkin powder, while the highest score of texture in control and 3.0% pumpkin bread. In addition, the highest score of flavor (p<0.05) and overall acceptance (p<0.05) were observed in bread added with 6.0% pumpkin powder. Upon the results of this study, it was assumed that the development of food products using pumpkin are prospective in response to health-oriented consumers.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of heating times of soy protein isolate(SPI) and mixing ratio of coagulants mixture on water holding capacity(WHC) and oil absorption capacity (OAC) of SPI, texture properties and yield of tofu. The effect of heating at $100^{\circ}C$ on the amounts of coagulants required for coagulation showed that the amounts of $CaCl_{2},\;MgCl_{2}$ and GDL decreased as the heating time extended to $6{\sim}9$ minutes while $CaSO_{2}$ was changed little. The tofu yield showed maximum for the tofu prepared by 6 minutes boiling and coagulation with $CaSO_{4}$. The WHC of SPI was significantly reduced by heating at $100^{\circ}C$ while OAC was rather increased until 9 minutes of heating. The textural properties of SPI tofu coagulated with mixed coagulants$(CaSO_{4}-GDL,\;CaSO_{4}-CaCl_{2},\;CaCl_2-GDL)$ showed that softer tofu was obtained as the ratio of $CaSO_{2}$ increased and harder tofu as the ratio of $CaCl_{2}$ and GDL increased. The maximum and minimum tofu yields were prepared from 100% of $CaSO_{2}$ and 100% of GDL, respectively. Organoleptic properties showed that more uniform and tender tofu were obtained with higher portion of $CaSO_{2}$ in the mixed coagulants and higher intensity of sourness and bitterness were scored as the GDL and $CaCl_{2}$ added more.

The LIGA X-ray exposure step was modelled into three inequalities, by assuming that the X-ray energy attenuated within a resist is deposited only in the localized range of the resist. From these inequalities, equations for the minimum and maximum exposure times required for a good quality microstructure were obtained. Also, an equation for the thickness of an X-ray mask absorber was obtained from the exposure requirement of threshold dose deposition. The calculation method of the synchrotron radiation power from a synchrotron radiation source was introduced and applied to an X-ray exposure step. A power from a synchrotron radiation source was introduced and applied to an X-ray exposure step/ A power function of photon energy, approximating the attenuation length of the representative LIGA resist, PMMA, and the mean photon energy of the XZ-rays incident upon an X-ray mask absorber were applied to the above mentioned equations. Consequently, the tendencies of the minimum and maximum exposure and with respect to mean photon energy and thick ness of PMMA was obtained. Additionally, the tendencies of the necessary thickness of PMMA and photon energy of the X-ray mask absorber with respect to thickness of PMMA and photon energy of the X-rays incident upon an X-ray mask absorber were examined. The minimum exposure time increases monotonically with increasing mean photon energy for the same total power density and is not a function of the thickness of resist. The minimum exposure time increases with increasing mean photon energy for the same total power density in the case of the general LIGA process, where the thickness of PMMA is thinner than the attenuation length of PMMA. Additionally, the minimum exposure time increases monotonically with increasing thickness of PMMA. The maximally exposable thickness of resist is proportional to the attenuation length of the resist at the mean photon energy with its proportional constant of ln $(Dd_m/D_{dv})$. The necessary thickness of a gold X-ray mask absorber due to absorption edges of gold, increases smoothly with increasing PMMA thickness ratio, and is independent of the total power density itself. The simplicity of the derived equations has made clearly understandable the X-ray exposure phenomenon and the correlation among the exposure times, the attenuation coefficient and the thickness of an X-ray mask absorber, the attenuation coefficient and the thickness of the resist, and the synchrotron radiation power density.

Not only in order to determine reasonable application amounts of PCP in terms of soil texture, but also to get basic data for fish-toxicity-free treatment by estimating fish toxicity, some aspects of PCP adsorption were observed taking various paddy soils with different physico-chemical characteristics in the Choongbook Area as samples. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. There was a positive correlation between PCP adsorption and clay contents, total nitrogen, organic matter, cation exchange capacity, exchangeable bases, and phosphorus absorption coefficients, respectively; whereas there was a negative one between PCP adsorption and pH. Although they were not significant, it was remarkable that there was a relatively large amount of correlation between PCP adsorption and clay contents, $H^+,\;Mg^{++}$, and CEC, respectively. 2. PCP adsorption in terms of soil texture was in the order of Clay>Loam>Sandy loam. 3. Although PCP adsorption in the $H_2O_2-treated$ soils decreased remarkably, it was not proportional to the humus contents. 4. The order of PCP adsorption in the exchangeable base-treated soils was H^+-exchanged soil>$K^+-soil$>$Na^+-soil$>$Ca^{++}-soil$>Mg^{++}-soil. 5. Langmuir's and Freundlich's adsorption isotherms were applicable to the PCP adsorption, and thereby were able to be calculated maximum adsortion amounts of PCP, bond energy, and the depths of adsorption layers. 6. Maximum adsorbed amounts of PCP were 212.14 mg/100gr in Clayey loam, 97.28 to 121.59mg/100gr in Loam, and 32.92 to 91.74mg/100gr in Sandy loam, respectively. 7. The depths of mixed layers of limiting application for fish-toxicity-free treatment were 0.88cm of the Jinchun soil, the shallowest and 4.29 cm of the Naesan-ri Sandy loam, the deepest.

This study examines the cooking quality, rheology, and sensory characteristics of ramyon noodles made from Korean wheat and arrowroot starch. The control was made from Australian standard wheat(ASW) and the sample was made from Korean wheat. The ratios of arrowwood starch in the sample group were 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30% respectively, and the result was as follows: the yield of the arrowwood starch was 18.8% and moisture level was 14.2%. The lightness(L), redness(a), and yellowness(b) of ASW were 92.07, 1.44, 10.22 respectively, whereas those of Korean wheat were 92.05, 1.55, 11.01, which means the two kinds of wheat showed very little difference in lightness, but Korean wheat had higher degrees of a and b than ASW. The color value of arrowroot starch is L 72.65, a 3.44, b 12.92, so it has a lower degree of lightness and higher degrees of a and b than two kinds of wheat. Dried ramyon displayed a lower degree of lightness and higher degrees of a and b than cooked ramyon, but the first decreased and a increased as we increased the ratio of arrowroot starch in it. The weight of dried ramyon did not show a significant difference among the groups. On the other hand, the weight, volume, water absorption, and the turbidity of cooked ramyon increased as we increased the amount of arrowroot starch in it. The maximum weight, solidity, and elasticity of the control group were greater than those of ramyon made from Korean wheat, but its brittleness was lower. The two groups showed the same degrees of hardness, adhesiveness, and cohesiveness. The maximum weight, solidity, and adhesiveness of the control group increased as we increased the amount of arrowroot starch in it, and the hardness and brittleness were great when the ratio of arrowroot starch was 20%; elasticity was greatest when the ratio of arrowroot starch was 15, 20, and 25%; its adhesiveness and cohesiveness did not depend on the amount of arrowroot starch in it. In the sensory characteristics evaluation, the items that showed significant differences include: appearance (p<0.01), color(p<0.01), smell(p<0.001), transparency(p<0.05), and overall acceptability(p<0.05). The ramyon earned the highest score in appearance when the ratios of arrowroot starch were 5%, 15%, and 20%. As for color and smell, it earned the highest score when it contained 20 and 25% of arrowroot starch. The transparency decreased as we increased the amount of arrowroot starch, and overall acceptability was highest when the ratio of arrowroot starch was 15%. There was a significant difference in overall acceptability between the control and the sample group. As for the loosing speed and chewiness, there was no significant difference between the two groups. When we look at the result of various tests to evaluate the cooking quality, rheology, and sensory characteristics of ramyon noodles, ramyons that contained 15 to 25% of arrowroot starch earned the high scores, and of these the one with 20% of arrowroot starch earned the highest score on all accounts.

The toxicokinetics of rifapentine was studied after an oral administration to beagle dogs. High-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) using column-switching technique was performed to determine the serum concentrations of rifapentine. The pharmacokinetic profiles of rifapentine were analysed using one-compartment open model. Following a single oral administration of 10mg/kg, pharmacokinetic parameters were determined as follows: maximum serum concentration($C_{max}$), $28.90{\mu}g/ml$; maximum concentration time($T_{max}$), 3.7hr; elimination half-life($t_{1/2}$, 4.7hr; area under the curve(AUC), $339.0{\mu}g{\cdot}hr/ml$; volume of disiribution/bioavailability (Vd/F), 0.21 l/kg; lag time, 24min; absorption rate constant($k_a$), $0.445hr^{-1}$; elimination rate constant($k_{el}$), $0.148hr^{-1}$. After 6 month multiple oral doses of 10mg/kg/day, parameters were as follows: $C_{max}$, $34.40{\mu}g/ml$; $T_{max}$, 2.6hr; $t_{1/2}$, 6.7hr; AUC, $391.3{\mu}g{\cdot}hr/ml$; Vd/F, 0.291/kg; $k_a$, $0.976hr^{-1}$; $k_{el}$, $0.104hr^{-1}$. The consistant kinetic parameters after a single and multiple oral administration show that there was no accumulation of rifapentine after 6 month oral administration. We also simulated the concentration of rifapentine after oral multiple administration of 10 and 50mg/kg/ day, based on the parameters obtained form the single administration. The measured serum concentrations of rifapentine were well fitted to the simulated results. The simulated results show that rifapentine readily reaches to steady-state after about 3 doses and the steady-state serum concentrations($C_{ss}$) are fluctuated in between $2.2{\sim}25.2{\mu}g/ml$, and $10.6{\sim}125.2{\mu}g/ml$ at the doses of 10 and 50mg/kg/day, respectively.

Photosensitive properties of naphthoquinone-1,2-diazide-5-sulfonyl esters (PGND, BEND and PVAND) of polyglyceryl phthalate(PG), bisphenol A-epichlorohydrin condensate(BE) and polyvinyl alcohol(PVA) were investigated by the change of solubility before and after exposing to light. Various samples coated on glass or quartz plates were exposed to light under various conditions and steeped in aqueous alkali solution, and then the yield of residual film(W/W0) was determined. The yield of residual film, which was closely related to the sensitivity of the film, was affected by the degree of polymerization of the backbone resin, sensitizers and their concentration. In polymer homologs, the sensitivity was dependent on the degree of polymerization(the higher, the better). And also, it was most effective when 5 % of sensitizers to esters was used. The minimum exposed time was 0.6 min. for PGND-1, 1.0 min. for BEND-1, and 3.0 min. for PVAND-1. Most effective sensitizers for PGND, BEND and PVAND among those used here were benzanthrone, 5-nitroacenaphthene and picramide, respectively. The spectral sensitivities of PGND, BEND and PVAND were examined by comparing their spectrograms with UV-spectra in a solid state. Also, the sensitization and spectral sensitivity of the above polymers were studied. All the polymers containing the sensitizers showed optical sensitization. From the fact that in either case of sensitized or unsensitized sample, the ranges of absorption-maximum wave length were almost consistent with sensitivity maximum wave length, it was proved that the light absorbed by a sample served efficiently for photochemical reactions. Benzanthrone was found to be an excellent sensitizer for PGND.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of hydrocolloids [hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC), xanthan gum (XG), guar gum (GG), and glucomannan (GM)] on the physicochemical properties of bread flour dough containing rice flour. In amylograph analysis, the significantly lowest gelatinization temperature was obtained in dough with XG (P<0.05). XG revealed the highest maximum viscosity while GM revealed the lowest. In viscograph test, the lowest gelatinization temperature and maximum viscosity showed the same result as in the amylograph. Breakdown value was also highest in dough containing XG, but lowest in the control and dough containing HPMC. Setback value was highest in dough containing HPMC, but lowest in dough containing XG. In farinograph analysis, consistency was greatest in dough with HPMC and XG. Hydrocolloids affected water absorption, which was highest in dough containing GM. Development times of dough containing HPMC and XG were low. Stability was lowest in dough with XG. Degree of softening was reduced in dough containing HPMC and GG compared to the control but increased in dough containing XG and GM. Dough containing HPMC and GG showed the largest volume at 3 h of fermentation. Dough with HPMC showed the lowest pH value. Hydrocolloids in this study affected physicochemical properties of dough.

This study was conducted to investigate the chlorophyll contents, photosynthetic characteristics and chlorophyll fluorescence of Cirsium setidens and Pleurospermum camtschaticum by shading treatment. Two species were grown under non-treated (full sunlight) and three different shading condition (88~93%, 65~75% and 45%~55% of full sunlight) for the experiment. Total chlorophyll content, photochemical efficiency (Fv/Fm), specific leaf area (SLA), and net apparent quantum yield were increased with elevating shading level but decreased dark respiration under the low light intensity. Therefore, light absorption and light utilization efficiency were improved under the low light intensity. 45~55% of full sunlight in C. setidens and 65~75% of full sunlight in P. camtschaticum showed best maximum photosynthetic rate, net apparent quantum yield and photochemical efficiency. On the other hand, non-treated showed lower maximum photosynthetic rate, photochemical efficiency, and chlorophyll content than treated ones. These results suggest that growth of P. camtschaticum adapted to 65~75% of full sunlight and C. setidens adapted to 45~55% of full sunlight.

In order to use the spherical atomizing reduction steel slag (ladle furnace slag, LFS) instead of the fine aggregate of polymer concrete composites, various specimens were prepared with various replacement ratios of atomizing reduction steel slag and the addition ratios of polymer binder. Physical properties of these specimens were investigated through the absorption test, the compressive strength test, the flexural strength test, the hot water resistance test, the pore analysis and the micro-structure using scanning electron microscope. Results showed that the compressive strength and flexural strength of specimens with 7.5% of polymer binders increased with the increase of replacement ratios of atomizing reduction steel slag, but those of the specimens with 8.0% or more of polymer binders showed a maximum strength at a certain replacement ratio due to the material segregation causing the increase of fluidity. By hot water resistance tests, the compressive strength, flexural strength, average pore diameter, and bulk density decreased but the total pore volume and pore diameter increased. It was concluded that the amount of polymer binders could be reduced by maximum 23.8%, because the workability of the polymer concrete was remarkably improved by using the atomizing reduction steel slag instead of fine aggregate. However, since the use of atomizing reduction steel slag decreased the resistance of the polymer concrete to hot water, further studies are required.
