In order to develop pH-sensitive liposomes that are stable in plasma, liposomes containing membrane-spanning bipolar amphiphiles as protonatable components were studied. Sonicated small unilamellar liposomes composed of dioleoylphosphatidylethanol amine (DOPE), dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC) and bis(6-hemisuccinyloxyhexyl) fumarate (BHF) in a 3 : 1 : 1 molar ratio are stable at neutral pH, but destabilized at weakly acidic pH with 50% leakage of entrapped materials at about pH 5.5. The liposomes are relatively stable in plasma such that only a few percent entrapped calcein was released in 50% plasma within 1.5 h incubation at 37 ℃, while about 10% entrapped calcein was released from sonicated liposomes composed of DOPE, DOPC, and oleic acid (OA) in a 3 : 1 : 1 molar ratio under the identical conditions. The aqueous contents mixing and lipid components mixing experiments suggest that the protonation of BHF may induce fusion between the liposomes, followed by the release of the entrapped materials.

The purpose of this study was to observe the inital acidity of zinc phosphate cements(Confit and Super Cem), poly carboxylate cement(Unident and Poly F), zinc oxide engenol cement(Stailine Super EBA) and g1ass ionomer cement(Fuji ionomer) Each cement was manuplated in accordance with each manufacturer's direction. All cements were mixed at the room temperature of $23^{\circ}{\pm}$, $5^{\circ}C$, and the electrode of pH meter(Ionanalyzer) was inserted in the mixed cement, and the acidity of cement were measured for 20 minutes from begining of cement mixing at $23^{\circ}C$ and $37^{\circ}C$ Results were as follows 1. The acidity of all cements ranges from pH 3, 5 to 4, 5 at 2 minutes after the start of mixing 2. The value of pH at $23^{\circ}C$ was higher than the value of pH at $37^{\circ}C$ in all cements. 3. As the time elapsed, the pH in all cements rose. The 20 minutes after the start of mixing the range of acidity was from pH 5 to pH 6 except Poly F. 4. In polycarboxylate cement, the different value of acidity at $23^{\circ}C$ and $37^{\circ}C$ was greatest. 5. The curve pattern of acidity in Unident was similar to that in Poly F cement The pH value of Unident was higher then that of Poly F, and value of pH in the curve pattern of acidity in Confit were similar to those in Super cement.

Polyelectrolyte complex films were prepared with two compounds, chitosan and poly(ethylene glycol)-monosuccinate, using a casting in order to synthesize a polyelectrolyte complex film with various mole ratios of chitosan and poly(ethylene glycol)-monosuccinate. The solution properties of isolated PEC were investigated for the effects of FTIR, pH value, Brookfield viscosity and cell viability assay using MTT staining. The PEC films were evaluated for mechanical properties by typical stress-strain curve, far thermal properties by DSC and TGA and for surface morphology Properties by SEM. Furthermore, the surface resistance, moisture regain and water content of the films were characterized. The solution properties were affected by several factors including the chitosan content in the PEC, the mixing ratio of PEG and chitosan, and pH. Several PEC in acidic conditions exhibited film formation under appropriate conditions of mixing ratio and chitosan concentration in the mixing process. These PEC films were found to have sufficiently flexible and stable properties due to their hydrophilic structure, which was farmed by the oppositely charged interaction between PEG-MS and chitosan matrix. The results showed the potential applicability of chitosan and poly(ethylene glycol)-monosuccinate films as a biocompatible polymer.

This study was performed to investigate the change of the body surface temperature during socialization of weaning pigs. A total of 108 piglets (Landrace 60 and Yorkshire 48) aged 31 (${\pm}1.1$) day was used for this study. Experiment was designed as follows; familiar group (T1), randomly mixed with unfamiliar piglets (T2), mixed based on weight of unfamiliar piglet (T3). The transport and mixing of pigs were performed at 10:00, and then body surface temperature was taken by thermo-graphic camera after 4 hours (14:00). Average surface temperature and hot-spot-temperature, which is the hottest spot of the body surface, were analyzed using Testo IRsoft 3.1 software. Average temperature of body surface were 36.0, 38.2, and 37.5 in T1, T2, and T3, respectively. Average of body surface temperature in T2 and T3 were higher (p<0.001) than T1, and average temperature of body surface of T3 was greater (p<0.001) than that of T2. The hot-spot-temperature of T1, T2, and T3 were 38.7, 39.5, and 39.6, respectively. The hot-spot-temperature of T2 (p<0.01) and T3 (p<0.001) were significantly higher than that of T1. Above results demonstrate that grouping unfamiliar pigs leads to increase in the body temperature possibly by pigs aggressive behavior during social conflict. By the result on average body temperature, this study suggests that the mixing with similar body weight would increase the struggle time and frequency.

In this paper, Part II, we realized the Serpentine Laminating Micromirer (SLM) which was proposed in the accompanying paper, Part I, by means of the injection molding process in mass production. In the SLM, the higher level of chaotic mixing can be achieved by combining two general chaotic mixing mechanisms of splitting/recombination and chaotic advection by the successive arrangement of 'F'-shape mixing units in two layers. Mold inserts for the injection molding process of the SLM were fabricated by SU-8 photolithography and nickel electroplating. The SLM was realized by injection molding of COC (cyclic olefin copolymer) with the fabricated mold inserts and thermal bonding of two injection molded COC substrates. To compare the mixing performance, a T-type micromixer was also fabricated. Mixing performances of micromixers were experimentally characterized in terms of an average mixing color intensity of a pH indicator, phenolphthalein. Experimental results show that the SLM has much better mixing performance than the I-type micromixer and chaotic mixing was successfully achieved from the SLM over the wide range of Reynolds number (Re). The chaotic micromixer, SLM proposed in this study, could be easily integrated in Micro-Total-Analysis- System , Lab-on-a-Chip and so on.

When baking, the proper blending or mixing of materials will affect the quality of the product. The mixing strength is important when establishing the optimal conditions for batter, and control of the mixing condition is accordingly an important factor. This study investigated the effects of the mixing speed and time on the quality characteristics of a gluten-free type of rice batter. The batter samples manufactured for this purpose are as follows: control (+) (wheat flour), control (-) (rice flour), T1 (1,800 rpm, 1 min), T2 (1,800 rpm, 2 min), T3 (1,800 rpm, 3 min), T4 (3,600 rpm, 1 min), T5 (3,600 rpm, 2 min), T6 (3,600 rpm, 3 min). In this study, rice flour was used in the T1 to T6 samples. The pH of the batter tended to be higher when the mixing speed was slower and the time was shorter depending on the ultra-high mixing conditions. The moisture content of T3 was highest, and there was no difference according to the ultra-high speed conditions. The specific volumes of the ultra-high mixing treatments were higher than those of the control samples. The relationship between the specific volume, hardness and springiness of rice bread according to the mixing speed and time was weak. Therefore, it is considered that the application of ultra-high speeds when manufacturing gluten-free batter can have a positive effect on improving the production efficiency by reducing the processing time.

This study was conducted to ivestigate the quality of modeled chinese-cabbage Kimchi. The mutual action of sub-ingredients and optimum mixing conditions were examined by analyses of pH, acidity, content of vitamins, carotenes, number of total microorganism, and Lactobacilli, the activities of softening related to enzymes (polygalacturonase and ${\beta}$-galactosidase), and sensory quality during fermentation. The result about the mutual action of red pepler powder and garlic showed that the pH was decresed as concentration of garlic was higher and that of red peppler powder became lower. Kimchi had unpleasant taste and undesirable odor when the adding ratio of the peper powder and garlic was unbalanced. As the concentration of garlic became higher, the content of vitamin C in Kimchi tissue decreased while that of vitamin C in Kimchi juice increased. The contents of vitamin B1, B2 and carotene increased as the concentration of garlic became lower. The optimum mixing ratio of red pepper powder and garlic evaluated by overall eating quality was 4.66% and 3.45%, respectively. The result about the mutual action of ginger and green onion was that pH became higher as the concentration of ginger was 1.84% and that of green onion was 5.96%. The intensity of fresh taste and odor became stronger as the concentration of ginger increaed to 2.76% and that of green onion decreased to 2.98%. The balance of sour, salty and hot taste became better as the concentration of ginger increased and that of green onion decreased. The optimum mixing condition evaluated by overall eating quality was 2.94% in ginger ＋ 2.78% in green onion. The contents of vitamin B1, B2 and C were high in this condition. The result about the mutual action of leek and salted anchovy juice was that pH became lower as the concentration of leek increased and that of salted anchovy juice decreased. Sour, hot and sweet tastes were good in the condition of leek 12%, salted anchovy juice 4.69%. Palatable, fresh taste and odor became weaker when the one of both sub-ingredients was too much little. The optimum mixing condition evaluated by overall easting quality was 9.76% in leek ＋ 7.32% in salted anchovy juice. The contents of vitamin B1, B2, C and carotene were high in this condition and other sensory qualities were good. The result about the mutual action of salt and sugar was that pH became lower as the concentration of sugar became higher and that of salt became lower. The sweet taste was reduced of hot taste than salty taste. Palatable and fresh tastes were desirable when Kimchi fermented with less salt and more sugar. The optimum mixing condition evaluated by overall eating quality was 3.29% in sugar ＋ 4.80% in salt. The contents of vitamin B1, B1, C and carotene were high in this condition. The result of model Kimchi fermented at 20$^{\circ}C$ was that the number of Lactobacilli in model Kimchi was higher than that of in control Kimchi. The fermentation period was extended under pH 4.0 and the contents of vitamin B1, B1,C and carotene were high through the whole edible period. The activity of polygalacturonase was low, but that of ${\beta}$-galactosidase was high during fermentation.

본 연구는 부산물 혼합 silage 사료 급여가 한우 비육전기 거세우의 채식 및 반추행동에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위하여 실시하였다. 시험에 사용한 공시한우는 21개월령 총 12두를 3처리로 배치하였으며, 이 때 처리구는 관행구 (C구: 농후사료+ 볏짚 자유채식)와 부산물 혼합 silage 구를 2처리 (T1: 농후사료+부산물 혼합 silage 제한급여 (1 kg) + 볏짚 자유채식, T2: 농후사료+부산물 혼합 silage 자유채식)로 하여 48시간 행동관찰을 실시하였다. 총 건물 섭취량은 T1 > C > T2구 순으로 나타났으나 상호간 유의적 차이는 없었다. 채식시간과 저작시간은 C구가 다른 구에 비하여 유의적으로 높게 나타났다 (p<0.05). 반추시간과 휴식시간은 처리구들 사이에 유의적 차이를 보이지 않았으며, 식괴수, 총저작수 및 식괴 당 저작수에 있어서도 같은 경향을 보였다. 그러나 식괴 당 반추시간과 FVI (feed value index)는 C구가 T1 및 T2구에 비하여 유의적으로 높게 나타났다 (p<0.01, 0.05). 분 당 식괴수는 T1구에서 높게 나타났으며 (p<0.01), 음수 회수는 T2구에서 유의적으로 높게 나타났다 (p<0.05). 배분 및 배뇨 회수에 있어서는 처리구들 간에 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 채식율에 있어서는 T2구가 다른 구에 비하여 유의적으로 높게 나타났으나 (p<0.05), 반추효율 및 저작효율에 있어서는 처리구들 사이에 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때, 부산물 혼합 silage는 볏짚과 비교시 반추행동상 큰 문제가 없기 때문에 차후 볏짚 대용으로 활용가치가 높을 것으로 사료된다.

CFD analysis has been conducted to find the two stage impeller configuration which is the most suitable for a stirred tank with an internal helical cooling coil and a cooling jacket, which is frequently used in chemical industries for highly exothermic reactions ranged from low to medium viscosity. Two typical types of impellers are considered; pitched paddle impellers and Rushton turbine impellers. Interestingly, pitched paddle impellers show a good mixing performance for multi-species, whereas Rushton turbine impellers achieve a good mixing performance for multi-phases. Besides the type of an impeller, the location of an impeller is another important factor to be considered in order to accomplish an effective mixing. The best set of types and locations of two impellers is recommended based on the coefficient of variation(CoV) value and the heat removal capability obtained from CFD results. The former is a measure to quantify the degree of mixing.

In this study, we investigated the effects of mixing on the aggressive behavior of commercially housed pigs. The behavioral patterns of 36 groups of pigs (a total of 360 animals) were observed over 3 consecutive days directly after weaning ($25{\pm}1.2$ days of age), and 25 and 50 days later with the aid of video technology. Fight latency and total duration and frequency of fighting were significantly different among the age groups. The aggressive behaviors decreased in 75-day old pigs if compared to 25- and 50-day old animals. Moreover, dominance index (DI) was higher in 25-day old and lower in 75-day old pigs. A comparison of dominant (DI>0) and submissive (DI<0) pigs showed significant differences (p<0.05) for major aggressive behaviors in all age groups. Dominant pigs were involved in more aggressive interactions, had longer fights, and initiated more fights than submissive pigs. Post-mixing aggressive behavior was altered by previous experience of mixing. Aggressive behavior and DI are suitable methods for analyzing the effects of mixing on commercially housed growing pigs.
