Several additives are used to enhance the geotechnical properties (e.g., shear wave velocity, shear modulus) of soils to provide sustainable, economical and eco-friendly solutions in geotechnical and geo-environmental engineering. In this study, piezoelectric ring actuators are used to measure the shear wave velocity of unreinforced, fiber, cemented, and fiber reinforced cemented Toyoura sand. One dimensional oedometer tests are performed on medium dense specimens of Toyoura sand-cement-fiber-silica flour mixtures with different percentages of silica flour (0-42%), fiber and cement (e.g., 0-3%) additives. The experimental results indicate that behavior of the mixtures is significantly affected by the concentration of silica flour, fiber and cement additives. Results show that with the addition of 1-3% of PVA fibers, the shear wave velocity increases by only 1-3%. However, the addition of 1-4% of cement increases the shear wave velocity by 8-35%. 10.5-21% increase of silica flour reduces the shear wave velocity by 2-5% but adding 28-42% silica flour significantly reduces the shear wave velocity by 12-31%. In addition, the combined effect of cement and fibers was also found and with only 2% cement and 1% fiber, the shear wave velocity increase was found to be approximately 24% and with only 3% cement and 3% fibers this increased to 35%. The results from this study for the normalized shear modulus and normalized mean effective stress agree well with previous findings on pure Toyoura sand, Toyoura silty sand, fiber reinforced, fiber reinforced cemented Toyoura sand. Any variations are likely due to the difference in stress history (i.e., isotropic versus anisotropic consolidation) and the measurement method. In addition, these small discrepancies could be attributed to several other factors. The potential factors include the difference in specimen sizes, test devices, methods of analysis for the measurement of arrival time, the use of an appropriate Ko to convert the vertical stresses into mean effective stress, and sample preparation techniques. Lastly, it was investigated that there is a robust inverse relationship between α factor and 𝞫₀ exponent. It was found that less compressible soils exhibit higher 𝜶 factors and lower 𝞫₀ exponents.

The production of black rice in Korea has been increasing, as more Koreans are tending to blend black rice with medium-grain rice for serving. This increased production creates an opportunity for developing new products. In this study, the properties of sponge cakes produced from a blend of black rice flour (BRF) and wheat flour (WF) are investigated. Black rice sponge cakes (BRSC) were produced with constant process variables (e.g. baking temperature, fermentation time and BRP content (10, 20 & 30%)). Proximate compositions, farinogram, amylogram and extensogram analyses of BRSC were determined by AACC method. BRSC color was expressed to Hunter L, a and b values using a colorimeter. Sensory properties were evaluated by a trained 5-member panel. Moisture contents in BRSC decreased with increasing contents of BRF, while ash and protein contents were increased. Farinograph and amylograph data did not differ significantly between treatments, while extensograph data decreased with increasing BRF contents. With increasing BRF contents, Hunter L value decreased, while Hunter a value increased. When using 20% of BRP, sensory scores of BRSC were the highest in color, flavor and taste. In conclusion, 20% of BRF would be the optimum amount for producing sponge cake with BRP and WF.

Pholiota sp. were collected from the forest of Kangwon province (Mt. Samak, Mt. Odae and Kangwon National University Forest Experimentation) from the early of August to the end of October 1997. Among these fungi, Poliota adiposa was selected for culture experiment because it is suitable for edible mushroom. The Optimal temperature for the mycelial growth of Pholiota adiposa was in the range of $28^{\circ}C$ while that of fruit body formation was $15{\pm}1^{\circ}C$. Brown sugar as carbon source and soybean flour as nitrogen source were good for mycelial growth in commercial liquid culture. The fruit bodies of Pholiota adiposa were artifitially produced on plastic bottle including poplar sawdust and rice bran (4:1).

The purpose of this study is to investigate the quality characteristics of choco-chip when using the baking soda. Medium flours are more commonly used for choco-chip cookies than cake flours due to the higher pH levels. The L and b values of the flours decreased but the redness colors were increased with the increased percentage of baking sodas. The hardness, brittleness and gumminess of cake flours and increased baking sodas were lower than the medium flours. Micrographs of the choco-chip cookies showed that the baking sodas with the medium flours had better tendency to melt the proteins than cake flours. Sensory characteristics suggested that the additional 2% of baking soda generated good appearance, flavor, color, texture and over all acceptance. According to the results, we gained knowledge on the effects of adding baking soda to the quality of cookies. And, the most recommended percentages of baking sodas base as suggested by bakers are 2%.

Level meters are non-invasively capable of measuring the level of the medium, and a growing variety of level meters are being used in the industry in connection with safety and maintenance. The level meter can be measured according to various kinds of medium such as solid medium such as coal, flour, rice and liquid medium such as water and petroleum. In order to reduce the error depending on the medium, the measurement using the Doppler Effect can compensate the measurement error, However, the number of signal processing steps is increased, the operation speed is further increased, the hardware complexity increases, and a high cost structure is required. In this paper, we propose a method to improve the signal processing operation structure of the remote measurement level meter to reduce the amount of computation and the resource usage of the required FPGA.

The cultivation conditions of shiitake mushrooms (Lentinula edodes) influence the production and quality of fruiting bodies. We conducted this study to improve the productivity and quality of shiitake mushrooms by modifying the cultivation conditions. Two types of spawns (sawdust and liquid spawn) were used, and corn flour was used as a nutritional source for the sawdust medium. A blue light-emitting diode (LED; 300 lux) was also used instead of a white LED during the incubation period. Sanbaekhyang was used as the experimental variety. When using corn flour, the mycelial growth rate increased 1.1 to 2.7 times the growth rate of the control up to 21 days of incubation, and the weight loss rate of the media was also higher. Mushroom productivity increased 1.2 times when the liquid spawn was used compared to when the sawdust spawn was used, and the blue LED also increased fruiting body production by 1.1 times compared to the white LED. Mushroom productivity increased when the liquid spawn was used, and the blue LED also increased fruiting body production. Fruiting body weight and the size of the cap were greater when sawdust spawn was used. The fruiting body weight and the stipe diameter were greater when the blue LED was used. Taste analysis showed that the saltiness increased when corn flour was used, and the sourness increased when the blue LED was used.

This study aimed to replace the imported Chinese complete medium for Lentinula edodes with a newly-developed complete medium that is suitable for export as well. Three media compositions that supported fast mycelium growth and higher density, compared to that in the control, were chosen. Culture in the T13 medium reduced the incubation period for 'Nongjingo' by 12 days and for 'Cham-aram' by 10 days, compared to that required for the control; in addition, the number of days required for browning was greatly reduced for both varieties. The quantity of each mixed medium was increased according to the composition from the 1^st to the 5^th cycle by 5.9% for 'Nongjingo' and 12.6% for 'Cham-aram' in T13, compared to that in the control. A mixed medium comprising oak sawdust + Douglas fir sawdust + corn flour (40:40:20, v/v) was selected as the most suitable complete medium.

1) Higher yield of red color was observed by the isolated strain (Monascus D-7) than the type cultures in steamed rice medium. 2) In a case of Monascus purbigerus IAM 8004, best yield of color was obtained at Lin's submerged culture medium containing 1% wheat bran, 2% starch and 3% corn meal instead of rice powder as carbon source. However, in a case of isolated strain (M. D-7), good result was shown at 1% rice bran and 2% starch as a source of carbon in Lin's medium. 3) Good yields were obtained from both strains in Nishikawa's medium which was added with 3% defatted soybean flour. 4) There were no significant differences in pigment extractability among solvents. Extracted pigment was stable in wide range of pH and heat, whereas relatively unstable in sunlight. 5) Toxicological study of extracted pigment determined $LD_{50}$ at 0.2539g/20g, when injected in mouse. When injected in to mouse in 25% ethanol solution: considering the toxicity of ethanol, the toxicity of pigment itself is believed to be none.
