This study was attempted to investigate the effects of adding gelatinized waxy rice flour, wheat flour, and Xanthan Gum to rice flour on the preparation and (quality) of dried noodles. 1) Rice flour demonstrated higher maximum viscosity value as determined by Amylograph than wheat flour. Among the composite flour mixture (Rice Flour 85+Gelatinized Waxy Rice Flour 15 + Xanthan Gum 2%) showed the highest viscosity value and (RF 35+ GWRF 15 + Wheat Flour 50) had the lowest. (RF 35 + GWRF 15 +WF 50) demonstrated gelatinization characteristics which is quite similar to that of wheat flour. 2) Forty and 50% replacement of rice flour and gelatinized waxy rice flour (15%) mixture by wheat flour improved significantly noodle making characteristics and cooking quality of noodles. 3) The addition of 2% XG to (RF 45 + GWRF 15 + WF 40) was effective on noodle making properties and on binding properties of cooked noodles. 4) The cooked noodle made of composite flour (RF 45 + GWRF 15 + WF 40 + XG 2%) received the highest total sensory evaluation score among the testing samples, and it was not significantly different from that of wheat flour.

This paper presents an experimental study to evaluate the effect of palm oil on the selected basic physical-chemical and geotechnical properties of kaolin. The experimental findings are further compared with literature outcomes investigating similar properties of fine grained soils subjected to contamination by different types of oils. To this end, palm oil was mixed with oven dried kaolin samples-aiding oil's interaction (coating) with dry particles first, in anticipation to emphasize the effect of oil on the properties of kaolin, which would be difficult to achieve otherwise. Oil content was limited to 40% by dry weight of kaolin, supplemented at intervals of 10% from clean kaolin samples. Observations highlight physical particle-to-particle bonding resulting in the formation of pseudo-silt sized clusters due to palm oil's interaction as evinced in the particle size distribution and SEM micrographs. These clusters, aided by water repellency property of the oil coating the kaolin particles, was analyzed to show notable variations in kaolin's consistency-measured as liquid and plastic limits. Furthermore, results from compaction tests indicates contribution of oil's viscosity on the compaction behavior of kaolin - showing decrease in the maximum dry unit weight (${\gamma}_{d,max}$) and optimum moisture content ($w_{opt}$) values with increasing oil contents, while their decrease rates were directly and inversely proportional in ${\gamma}_{d,max}$ and $w_{opt}$ values with oil contents respectively. Comparative study in similar terms, also validates this lower and higher decrease rates in ${\gamma}_{d,max}$ and $w_{opt}$ values of the fine grained soils respectively, when subjected to contamination by oil with higher viscosity.

Surface texturing is widely applied to friction surfaces of various machine elements. Most of the theoretical studies have focused on isothermal (ISO) analyses which consider constant lubricant viscosity. However, there have been limited studies on the effect of oil temperature increase owing to viscous shear. Following the first part of the present study that investigated the effects of film-temperature boundary condition (FTBC) and groove number on the thermohydrodynamic (THD) lubrication characteristics of a surface-textured parallel thrust bearing with multiple rectangular grooves, this study focuses on the effect of groove depths. Current study numerically analyzes the continuity, Navier-Stokes, and energy equations with temperature-viscosity-density relations using a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, FLUENT. The results of variation in temperature, velocity, and pressure distributions as well as load-carrying capacity (LCC) and friction force indicate that groove depth and FTBC significantly influence the temperature distribution and pressure generation. The LCC is maximum near the groove depth at which the vortex starts, smaller than the ISO result. For intense grooves, the LCC of THD may be larger than that from ISO. The frictional force decreases as the groove becomes deeper, and decreases more significantly in the case of THD. The study shows that groove depth significantly influences the THD lubrication characteristics of surface-textured parallel thrust bearings.

Amylose content, water absorption and amylograph characteristics of waxy and nonwaxy barley varieties were studied. Amylose content of nonwaxy varieties ranged from 23.4% to 31. 5% and waxy varieties showed 5.4%-9.5%. Water absorption of waxy varieties was highest among the materials tested. Waxy barley showed lowest gelatinization temperature among the varieties. Gelatinization temperature was positively related with the maximum viscosity in all tested varieties. There was no relationships between amylose content and gelatinization temperature, gelatinization time and viscosity.

The object of this study was to investigate the effects of rice particle size on the physicochemical properties of beef-rice porridge. The pH of beef-rice porridge was decreased as compared to that of the control, while the redness of beef porridge increased according to rice particle size. The viscosity of flour in the beef-rice porridge was the highest among three porridges, at $40^{\circ}C$. The protein content of beef-rice porridge was increased 3-fold over that of rice porridges. The total amino acid content of the beef-rice porridge was 3071.2 mg/100 g, and that of rice porridge was 1147.5 mg/100 g. As compared to rice porridge, the maximum amounts of the amino acids Lys and Thr were increased beef-rice porridge. Sensory evaluation results showed that the beef-rice porridge with a particle size half that of rice had the highest scores in color, taste, texture, and overall preference. Based on these results, it is suggested that beef-rice porridge with a particle size half (0.7-2.5 mm) that of rice has optimal quality in terms of both physicochemical and sensory properties.

The sedimentation characteristics of ceramic fiber were analyzed when viscosity of the slurry for ceramic paper formation was varied and zeta potential change and degree of dispersion with pH were studied as well. The proper viscosity of the slurry for dispersion of fibers was between 28 and 31 cps. Zeta potential of the slurry was sensitively changed with pH adjustment and showed maximum value of -35~-36 mV at ph 7.5~9.5, which indicated better dispersion of ceramic fiber as zeta potential of the slurry was increased. The sedimentation rate of ceramic fiber in a slurry was reported minimum at the maximum zeta potential. Water content of the casted paper should be lower than 83% after vacuum dehydration for retention of binder and lower than 62% after press rolling for wet paper handling. The obtained ceramic paper had tensile strength and basis weight, $102 kgf/cm^2$ and $98 g/m^2$, respectively.

This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of ${\beta}$-glucan on rheological properties of flour dough and quality characteristics of white pan bread. Flour dough and white pan bread fortified with ${\beta}$-glucans at levels of 0%, 3%, 6% and 9% w/w. Farinograph and amylograph were analysed for the rheological properties. Loaf volume and specific loaf volume, moisture content, texture and sensory evaluation were also analysed for the quality characteristics. In the farinograph test, water absorption and dough development time of doughs increased with increasing ${\beta}$-glucan content. Especially, water absorption of dough fortified with 9% of ${\beta}$-glucan showed 13% higher than the control. However, the addition of ${\beta}$-glucan to the dough decreased stability. There were no significant differences on gelatinization temperature and maximum viscosity temperature regardless of ${\beta}$-glucan contents, but maximum viscosity increased with increasing ${\beta}$-glucan contents. Loaf volume and specific loaf volume of white pan bread decreased slightly with increasing ${\beta}$-glucan contents. Moisture content showed higher value in tests than that of the control, and the one added with 6% revealed highest moisture content. In terms of texture analysis, the one added with 6% of ${\beta}$-glucan revealed softer than the others. There were no differences between the groups added with 3% and with 6% on sensory evaluation, but the one added with 9% obtained lowest scores. As a result of this study, 6% of ${\beta}$-glucan is considered the resonable level to prepare healthy white pan bread. ${\beta}$-glucan can also be used when making cake and cookies.

The breadmaking characteristics of composite flour containing 30% of buckwheat and 70% of wheat with the addition of vital wheat gluten and water-soluble gums, were studied to establish the optimum formula for the development of buckwheat bread. The addition of vital wheat gluten or/and gums led to successful formation of buckwheat bread, giving loaf volume increase and improvement of sensory quality, especially texture determined by QDA (Quantitative Descriptive Analysis). Among those additives, xanthan gum showed the best volume expansion. Synergistic effects on bread quality were observed when the vital wheat gluten and xanthan gum or guar gum were used together. As buckwheat flour was substituted for wheat flour, gelatinization started early and the maximum viscosity increased measured by an amylography. The addition of gluten and gums caused the initial gelatinization to occur at a higher temperature and maximum viscosity to decrease.

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.

CTD and current observation were taken to investigate the structure of the cold water in the Western Channel of the Korea Strait in October 1993. Thickness of the cold water in the deep trough of the strait changes from 20 m to 70 m according to the water depth. Thermocline between the Tsushima Warm Water and the cold water deepens from north to south with 0.00057 in slope. Temporal variation of the thickness appears to be related with the tidal current. The maximum variation is 20 m for 48 hours. Mean velocity of the cold water for 72 hours is 17 cm/sec southward. A simple model was used to understand dynamically the southward flow of the cold water and the return flow at the upper part in the lower layer. Calculated maximum southward flow and eddy viscosity coefficient are 7 cm/sec and 0.038 $m^2$/sec respectively in the model. Southward transport is $0.032$\times$10^6㎥/sec$ at the northern part in the trough and decreases from north to south due to the presence of the return flow. Southward transport increases with the increase in the upper layer transport but is not affected by the density of the upper layer or the interface slope.
