The use of wind energy is gaining importance because of its many advantages. Nations worldwide are promoting the installation of wind farms to produce electricity in an attempt to tackle climate change and increasing oil costs. But, wind turbines can generate undesired signals which disturb the performance of military radar systems. Because the current generation of on and off-shore three bladed wind turbines have radar signatures consistent with their very large physical size. So this study considers the options available for the reduction of wind turbine radar signature and presents solutions for each of the main external turbine components. The radar signature reduction approaches are based on existing technologies developed for aerospaces stealth applications. However, the realization of these for the purposes of reduction wind turbine radar signatures is a novel development, particularly in the solutions proposed. This paper is presented techniques which reduce radar signatures of wind turbine. We know that radar signatures of wind turbine reduce by using these techniques.

This study was conducted to investigate and compare the characteristics of alcohol fermentation in oriental melon by different yeast. As a result, no significant difference in pH, total acidity and sugar content was found in alcohol fermentation of oriental melon by different yeast. The pH was shown to be constantly maintained but the total acidity was shown to increase during fermentation process. The sugar content was rapidly decrease starting from 3 day of fermentation, and it was reduced to be approximately 7 oBrix after fermentation. For organic acid content, lactic and citric acid contents were shown to be the highest in all periods of fermentation, which revealed that lactic and citric acid were major organic acids. Free sugar content were shown to gradually decrease during the fermentation and to be rarely detected at 9 days of fermentation. Alcohol content was shown to be 14.20% at (C) S. cerevisiae RC-212, which was the highest content. It was shown to be more than 12% at other periods, which showed that no significant difference in alcohol content was found according to different yeast. For alcohol components, acetaldehyde content was shown to be the highest at (E) S. cerevisiae K1-V1116, and methanol content was shown to be relatively higher at (C) S. cerevisiae RC-212 and (D) S. bayanus EC-1118. N-propanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol and isoamyl alcohol, which belong to fusel oil, were shown to be produced at 3 day of fermentation and gradually increase. These results, no significant difference in physicochemical properties of alcohol fermentation in oriental melon by different yeast.

The purpose of this study is to develop a transurethral liquid suppository containing prostaglandin $E_1\;(PGE_1)-loaded$ microemulsion, which undergoes a phase transition to gels at body temperature. The effects of oils, ethanol as solvent and HCl as pH-controlling agent on the physicochemical properties of liquid suppositories composed of poloxamer P 407, P 188 and carbopol was investigated. The stability of $PGE_1$ and release of $PGE_1$ from liquid suppository were evaluated. Oils such as Neobee and soybean oil significantly decreased the gelation temperature but increased the gel strength of liquid suppository due to their strongly binding with the components of liquid suppository base. However, ethanol slightly did the opposite. The pH of liquid suppositories hardly affected the gelation temperature and gel strength due to addition of very small HCl (0.005-0.01%). A liquid suppository [$PGE_1/P$ 407/P 188/carbopol/Neobee/ethanol/HCl (0.2/14/14/0.4/7/2/0.005%)], which had the gelation temperature $(34.2{\pm}0.6^{\circ}C)$ and gel strength $(31.35{\pm}4.37\;sec)$ suitable for liquid suppository system, was easily administered and not leak out from the body. About 60% of $PGE_1$ was released out within 2 h from this formulation. It was shown that the release of $PGE_1$ was proportional to the square root of time, indicating that $PGE_1$ might be released from the suppository by Fickian diffusion. It was stable at $4^{\circ}C$ for at least 2 months. The results suggest that transurethral liquid suppository containing prostaglandin $E_1-loaded$ microemulsion is thought to be a convenient, safe and effective dosage form for $PGE_1$. However, it should be further developed as a more convenient and stable dosage form for $PGE_1$.

The lipase activity of crude enzyme extracted from the molded sardine meal(MSM) 'koji', and lipid classes and fatty acid composition of neutral lipid(NL) and phospholipid (PL) of MSM 'koji' were investigated. The optimum pH and temperature of the crude enzyme was 8.0 and $40^{\circ}C$ using olive oil emulsion as a substrate, but the residual activity depended on pH and temperature. Total lipid contents of the MSM 'koji' consisted of 15.33g/100g NL, 5.45g/100g PL respectively. The major lipid classes of NL were triglyceride ($53.4\%$) and free fatty acid($28.1\%$), that of PL were phosphatidylethanol($32.7\%$), phosphatidylinositol($25.5\%$), phosphatidylcholine($25.1\%$), lyso-phosphatidylcholine($7.3\%$) and sphingomyeline($3.5\%$). The prominent fatty acid fractions of NL were 16:0, 22:6, 18:1 n-9, 18:2n-6 and 20:5, with PL fractions the major fatty acid ratios were 22:6, 16:0, 18:1n-9, 18:2n-6 and 20:5, in the same respective order.

This study investigated alcohol fermentation conditions for preparation of tomato wine. The alcohol contents of tomato wines prepared from semi-mature and full-mature tomato were about 11% whereas that of immature tomato was slightly lower (10.6%). When characteristics of tomato alcohol fermentation were examined on pre-treatment conditions, the wine from full mature-crushed whole tomato contained lower alcohol at 10.6% than those of full mature-crushed tomato removed stem and full mature-tomato juice removed stem (about 11%). For the effect of initial sugar, the alcohol content and sugar content of tomato wine increased in proportion to the concentration of initial sugar (8.8~14.4% and $5.5{\sim}9.2^{\circ}Brix$). However, initial titratable acidity and pH did not affect the alcohol contents during fermentation, and suggesting needed to be supplementation for sensory improvement of tomato wine. When the quality characteristics of tomato wine fermented under these optimal conditions were investigated, alcohol content, sugar content, titratable acidity and pH were found to be 11.1%, $6.1^{\circ}Brix$, 0.68% and 3.7, respectively. For alcohol components, the total amounts of methanol and fusel oil were 346 ppm and 313 ppm. In addition, maltose showed the highest level of 264.6 mg% in the free sugar analysis of tomato wine whereas sucrose contained 18.7 mg%.

Fish-frames, which are left after obtaining fillets or muscle during fish processing, consists of useful food components, such as muscle, collagen, calcium, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). This study was carried out to prepare snack using conger eel frame (SF) for human consumption and also to elucidate food component characterization of the snack. The results of volatile basic nitrogen suggested that conger eel frame was a suitable material for preparing snack. Based on the results of sensory evaluation and costs, starch syrup was an optimal sweetener for preparing snack using conger eel frame. The starch syrup-treated SF appeared safe because the moisture content and peroxide value were below the safety limits described in the guideline of Korea Food and Drug Administration (KFDA). Starch syrup-treated SF was similar in the pattern of fatty acid composition to soybean oil, whereas EPA and DHA were detected in SF. The total content of amino acid in starch syrup-treated SF was 23.9% based on 100 g of raw material. The maj or amino acids were aspartic acid, glutamic acid, glycine and alanine. The total contents of calcium and phosphorus in starch syrup-treated SF were 4.9% and 2.8%, respectively. The Ca/P of starch syrup-treated SF was 1.9, which is a good ratio for absorption of calcium. The SF made with starch syrup was superior in EPA and DHA compositions, total amino acid, calcium and phosphorus contents to commercial snack using eel frame.

Volatile flavor components of garlic and factors which influence on its flavors were reviewed. Growth, storage and processing conditions influence on the flavor intensity of garlic. To intensify garlic flavors, it is desirable that sufficient sulfate nutrition be supplied to the soil of growing garlic and that the suggested proportions of mineral composition and water content be considered. And to maintain the flavor intensity of post harvested garlic, flavor losses taken place during over inter storage mainly due to respiration, sprout and decay, have to be minimized. Among the various storage methods, combination method of post harvest hot-air drying and low temperature ($0^{\circ}C$), low humidity (RH 70-75%) is useful. The flavor of processed garlic is very much decreased as compared with that of fresh, and the decreasing rate of flavors depends on processing method. The synthetic garlic flavors were obtained by three types based on intermediate thiosulfinate, S-alk(en) yl-$\small{L}$-cyteine sulfoxlde-alliinase fission products and $\small{L}$-5-alk (en)yl thiomethylhydantoin ${\pm}$ S-oxides. These synthetic garlic flavors may be promised to be applied to food additives.

This study analyzed concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced from incineration of papers at $600^{\circ}C$. The papers used in this study included A4 papers (new, printed with ink-jet, printed with carbon), newspapers (printed with bean oil, printed with a general newspaper ink), packaging box, document envelope, single-use paper cup, and cosmetic tissue. Papers were heated from room temperature upto $600^{\circ}C$ providing air inside of the electric furnace and then they were oxidized for 80 minutes at $600^{\circ}C$ maintaining the same air supply. VOCs emitted from the incineration process were sampled using an air sampling pump and bags for 160 minutes and then the components and concentrations of the VOCs were analyzed by a CC-MS. The most prominent chemical structure of the Vous identified from incineration of the papers was furans and then furans were followed by aromatics and aliphatic alkenes. About 40% of the identified VOCs contained double bonds, which have relatively a high ozone (ground level) formation potential, within their molecular structure. Also, some cancer suspecting compounds like benzene, dichlorormethane and chloroform were identified.

Light Naphtha is distillated from crude oil unit and separated into the methane, ethylene and propylene by boiling point difference in sequence. This separation is conducted using a series of binary-like columns. This separation method is known that the energy consumed in the reboiler is used to separate the heaviest components and most of this energy is discarded as vapor condensation in the overhead cooler. In this study, the first two columns of the separation process are replaced with the Petlyuk column. A structural design was exercised by the stage computation with ideal tray efficiency in equilibrium condition. Compared with the performance of a conventional system of 3-column model, The design outcome shows that the procedure is simple and efficient because the composition of the liquid component in the column tray was designed to be similar to the equilibrium distillation curve. The performance of the new process indicates that an energy saving of 12.1% is obtained and the cost savings of 44 million won per day based on gross domestic product is reduced under same total number of trays and the initial investment cost is saved.
