In this study, we consider an assembly line operated under a base-stock policy. A product consists of two parts, and a finished product transfers to a warehouse in which demands are satisfied. Assume that demands arrive according to a Poisson process and processing times at each production line are exponentially distributed. Whenever a demand arrives, it is satisfied immediately from an inventory in the warehouse if available; otherwise, it is backlogged and satisfied later by the next product exiting from production lines. In either case, an arriving demand automatically triggers the production of a part at both production lines. These two parts will be assembled into a product that eventually transfers to the warehouse. We obtain a closed form formula of approximation for delay time or lead time distribution of a demand when a base- stock level is s. Moreover, it can be applied to the optimal base-stock level which minimizes the total inventory cost. Numerical examples are presented to show our optimal base-stock level's quality.

In the course of studies on the production of thermostable amylases by thermophilic actinomycetes isolated from soils the investigation was carried out on the production of $\alpha$-amylase by G-1011 strain which had presented the most remarkable $\alpha$-amylase formation ability among 128 amylolytic isolates. The results were as follows ： 1. Characteristics of G-1011 strain were compared with those descriptions of thermophilic actinomycetes given in Bergey's Manual. The strain was identical to these species of actinomycetes. The details of physiological properties of the strain luould he published in near future. 2. The optimum temperature for incubation of the cell growth of G-1011 strain and $\alpha$-amylase production by the strain was revealed to 5$0^{\circ}C$. 3. The effective medium for $\alpha$-amylase formation by the strain was consisted of 3.0%, soluble starch, 1.0%, peptone, 0.5%, yeast extract, 0.5%, NaCl, 0.1%, MgSO$_4$ㆍ7$H_2O$ 0.02%, $K_2$MPO$_4$and 0.002% FeSO$_4$ㆍ7$H_2O$. The pH of the medium was ajusted to 7.0 with phosphate buffer solution. 4. The maximum production of $\alpha$-amylase (3420 D. U/ml) by G-1011 strain resulted when it was grown for 16 hours with the culture of reciprocal shaking.

Aflatoxin $B_1$ is a mycotoxin produced by Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus and is a human carcinogen. This study was performed to investigate reduction of growth and aflatoxin production of A. parasiticus by kimchi. A. parasiticus was grown in a modified APT broth with the juice of kimchi (at a concentration of 7%) at $28^{\circ}C$ for 9 days. Aflatoxin $B_1$ was determined by use of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The addition of the juice of kimchi significantly reduced mycelial growth and aflatoxin production during the incubation period (p<0.05). Reduction of mycelial growth of A. parasiticus as the result of addition of the juice of kimchi was observed to range between 64.8 to 83.4% while reduction of aflatoxin production ranged from 62.2 to 73.0%. This study indicates that kimchi could be an effective inhibitor of aflatoxin production although mycelial growth may be permitted. More research is needed to study the inhibitory effects of the metabolites of kimchi.

In this study, we improved problems in the existing product by PARKER and developed the swivel valve tube couplers that can be produced by a low price in Korea. The major development was that a modulized production method was implemented by introducing a part assembling method that uses a cocking jig, and the production cost was reduced by operating the production process more simply than that of PARKER. Also, it was possible to avoid the patient registered by PARKER through the differences in the number of grooving processes and the type of o-ring. In the results of the rotation test by varying its application angle after installing it to a vehicle, it was verified that the structure proposed in this study can endure the eccentric torque and transformation pressure for various angles that have been considered as the problem in the existing fixed tube couplers. In addition, the structure was developed to adopt the problem that represents differences in the installation position of an air tank or the length and direction of hoses according to the type of vehicles produced in vehicle manufacturers. Furthermore, it was possible to verify that the product developed in this study was more excellent than that of PARKER through comparing the performance according to the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard.

The domestic airline industry undertakes the production of finished products by assembling existing self-described components via a design process which involves assembly and production steps, after which many of the finished products are exported. However, high reliability and stability must be guaranteed, because customers require high-precision components at the time of manufacturing. In the aircraft parts industry, the mass production of high-value-added parts is limited. Therefore, a small production scale depending on the part is used, as many types of conventional CNC lathe machines with X-axis and Z-axis as well as Z-axis and C-axis CNC milling are used. The parts also rely on high-pressure air to increase production. The most important factors are good stability during processing, as high-precision parts are required, as noted above. It was found that as the C-axis rotation speed increased, the diameter of the cutting tool decreased with a decrease in the surface roughness, while the workpiece rotation speed increased with an increase in the surface roughness.

The technology of creating transgenic animals has a potential value in improving productivity and disease resistance of animals, gene therapy, drug pharming and production of model animals for certain diseases. Up to date, fairly low success rate of production of transgenic animals and a pronounced variability with respect to the expression of transgenes have been much observed. The mechanisms how to integrate the injected genes with a certain part of the genomes are unknown yet. Many techniques in gene transfer, beside microinjection, have been introduced and explored thus to improve the production efficiency of transgenic animals. In this article, the methods and efficiency of gene-transfer techniques, the detection and preselection of transgenes in embryos by PCR- and GFP-screenings and cloning of preselected transgenic embryos by nuclear transplantation are described and discussed. Some experimental results showed that the early screening and selection of integration of the injected gene with embryonic genome by polymerase chain reaction(PCR) and green fluorecence protein(GFP) were promising methods. Further, the application of nuclear transplantation technology to cloning and multiplication of the positively integrated genes in the cleaving embryos and embryonic cells will be beneficially used for the mass production of transgenic embryos and consequently improving the production efficiency in transgenic animals.

The purpose of this study is to conduct a comparative analysis between Korea and the United States of the supply process of unit modular housing at both the factory production phase and the transportation and lifting phase, as part of an attempt to invigorate the unit modular housing market in Korea. Unlike the practice in the United States, one of Korea's unique characteristics is that the floor is constructed with reinforced concrete and hot water heating system. To do this, the wet method in Korea is used that includes concrete placement, curing and constructing hot water floor heating system at the factory production phase, which results in a longer production time and also requires the lifting of heavier loads. In the United States, interior and exterior finishing works of modular housing are performed by different companies, and the distance between the unit module factory and the construction site is quite far. This kind of dualized production structure may cause confusion when it comes to schedule management, procurement management, and stock management. Moreover, problems caused by external environmental factors such as wind and rainfall were reported in the course of long-distance transportation. The results of this case comparison are expected to provide fundamental data that will reduce the amount of trial and error in the unit module production, transportation and lifting work in Korea, which has a comparatively small number of unit modular housing cases.

This study was performed to evaluate the hemopoietic effects of 6 species of deer antlers from origins and parts in vitro. CD34 positive cells were isolated and confirmed the its population by FACS analysis. In a week liquid culture, there was any statistical significance between extracts of three parts of six species of deer antlers in the experiments as colony forming assay, proliferation assay, differentiation assay and observation of morphology. However, after 2 weeks- culture with extracts of three parts of six species of deer antlers, colonies were counted. six species of deer antlers, such as middle part of Korean nippon deer, upper part of Chinese nippon deer, upper part of Newzealand horse deer, middle part of Korea horse deer and middle part of Newzealand red deer, significantly increased the CFU-GM (colony forming unit garnulocyte-macrophage) of CD34 positive cells re1atεd to production of leucocytes such as eosinophil, basophil and neutrophil, while only middle part of Korea horse deer significantly increased the BFU-E (burst forming unit-erythroid) at 1 mg/ml seggesting progenting red blood cells (RBC). In the molecular study with CD34+ cells pretreated with cyclophosphamide, antagonist of hemopoietic activity, upper Part of Korean nippon deer and upper part of Chinese nippon deer effectively increased TPO involved in a late pathway of hematopoiesis just like in ELISA assay of IL-3, TPO and GM-CSF. Taken together, these results indicate exσacts of deer antler had some hemopoietic activity still proposing more clinical study and more basic mechanism research.

Injection Molding is the most effective process for mass production of plastic parts. The injection molding process is composed with several steps such as Filling, Packing, Holding, Cooling, Ejecting. Among them, filling and packing process should be considered carefully to improve accuracy of dimension, surface quality of plastic parts. Usually the quality above-mentioned is managed with weight of part after molding on the field. In this paper, a series of experiment for molding automotive front bumper was conducted with cavitity temperature sensor to optimize switch-over time(V-P switching), hot runner vale gate sequence time during filling and packing step for the purpose of uniform quality, weight at every molding. As a result, it was found that it is effective method to use temperature sensor in injection molding for quality control of plastic molding.

The company Daewoo Precision Industries imported fine blanking press of 40 tons from Switzerland with fine blanking tool in order to produce the fuse part of bomb in 1978 at first in Korea. About 1985 the first fine blanking tool for producing the door lock parts was manufactured in the company Gold Star (now LG). And then this technology was grown up with the growth of automobile industries in Korea. Now 31 companies are closely related to the fine blanking technology and there are total 146 fine blanking presses in Korea. The developments of fine blanking technology in industries have been oriented to the production of precise fine blanking parts, the reduction of die roll height on fine blanking parts, the production of complex fine blanking parts with progressive fine blanking tool including forming and forging technology, the production of high-strength steel fine blanking parts and so on. Some R&D activities in KITECH were introduced.
