The performance of positive plates depends on the structure of the lead dioxide active mass. The positive active materials (PAM) consists of a skeleton, built up of agglomerates and macropores. Agglomerates, in their turn, comprise particles and micropores. This paper described a study conducted to determine the effects of different soaking times between the acid fill and formation stages of the tubular plate production. For the positive plates a lead oxide were filled into tubular bag with a red lead. After filling the positive plates were soaked in $H_2SO_4$ solution. X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and electrical testing had been used to study the compositional and morphological aspects of the positive active material(PAM) just prior and after formation. Results indicate that PAM compositions were effected by the soaking time and acid density of $H_2SO_4$ solution. It can be seen that as the soaking time duration increases, $\alpha$-PbO, $Pb_3O_4$, and Pb were all gradually sulphating. Composition of 3BS reached a maximum at around 3 h duration and $H_2SO_4$ of sp. gr. 1.10 on soaking. This results would suggest that the most beneficial conditions for soaking were the $H_2SO_4$ of sp. gr. 1.10 and 2 to 6 h of soaking.

This study was to determine optimal conditions for preparing Gangjung and Sanja. Texturometer and panel test were employed to evaluated products which were prepared under varying soaking time of glutinous rice. The results are found as follows; Examination of acceptibilities of products by the panel test showed that 48 hours of soaking was the most optimal. In acceptability ratings. the second went to 2 hours, the third 24 hours, the forth 120 hours, the fifth, 72 hours, and the sixth, 96 hours. However, there was no significant difference in acceptability among various products(P>0.05). The cohesiveness and the brittleness of the highest-grade products soaking in 48 hours showed 0.09$cm^{2}$, 1.25cm, respectively by texturometer. In therms of acceptability, the cohesiveness of high-grade products read between 0.06~0.7$cm^{2}$. The brittleness of products examined was in the range of between 0.36 and 1.41cm. No significant difference was found among products prepared under varying soaking time n cohesiveness and brittleness.

To study the suitability of chestnut as a cask for ripening traditional liquors, the absorption property for pure water, liquor with 30% alcohol content and ethanol with 95% alcohol content were investigated for five species. Oriental oak had the greatest amount of liquid absorption while chestnut had the smallest amount. The absorption amount linearly increased with increasing soaking time. The absorption amounts for each section were greatest in RT plane, and the difference between LR plane and LT plane was very small for all soaking conditions. The anisotropy of absorption amount for five species was greatest in Japanese cedar and was smallest in white mulberry on the whole. And the change of absorption amounts according to soaking conditions tended to decrease in softwoods and increase in hardwoods, and the difference among wood species was not clear. From this result, it was found that chestnut with a small absorption amount, regarding of soaking behavior, was a good material as a cask for ripening traditional liquors, whereas small diameter oriental oak with a great absorption amount was not suitable in this purpose.

Three kinds of soybean curd were prepared with three coagulants such as calcium chloride, magnesium chloride and glucono delta lactone. The mineral contents of the three soybean curds were analyzed before soaking and after various lengths of soaking(1/2 hour, 1 hour, 2 hours, and 2 hours(water changed after 1/2 hour)). Results therefrom were as follows: 1. Before the three soybean cured were soaked, their moisture contents were 79-83g/%. The ash contents were 5.04g% in the soybean curd made with CaCl_{2}4.42g/% in the soybean curd prepared with MgCl_{2} and 3.86g/% in the soybean curd coagulated by glucono delta lactone. an analysis of calcium, magnesium and phosphorous contents showed that each element had a greater concentration in the soybean curds made with divalent mineral salts than in the soybean curd made with acid. 2. Changes taking place in the mineral contents of the soybean curds according to different soaking times were examined. The mineral contents tended to decease in process of soaking time. The soybean curds showed the highest rate of mineral dissolution after one hour of soaking, and then they tended to reabsorb minerals. When the soybean curds were soaked I freshly changed water for one hour and 30 minutes, their mineral contents indicated a greater diminishing trend but no significant difference was noticed among the different kinds of soybean curd. In case coagulant has been used excessively, it is necessary to soak the bean curds for about one hour to get the coagulant dissolved.

Proximate composition, dimension, water uptake and volume increase rates of three cultivars of Korean kidney beans, Pink(PKB), Red(RKB) and White(WKB) were compared. Significant differences in the proximate composition and calorie were not observed among samples. Hull removed samples showed the lowest ash content and the highest calorie. The rates of water uptake increased as the soaking temperature increased from 10~4$0^{\circ}C$. The moisture gain of the kidney beans during soaking showed a similar pattern to volume increase. Water uptake and volume increase rates were in the decreasing order of PKB, RKB and WKB. Moisture and volume gains held a linear relation with the square root of soaking time regardless soaking temperatures. The activation energies of water uptake and volume increase were 3033~3087 and 3077~ 3161 kcal/mole, respectively. The log time to reach a fixed moisture content showed a linear relation with soaking temperature regardless soaking temperatures. The z-values calculated from weight and volume changes decreased in proportions to the increase of hydration. The z-values of weight and volume to reach 50% hydration were 50.5~56.6$^{\circ}C$ and 48.4~61.2$^{\circ}C$, respectively.

To prepare ready-to-use rice flour as de novo material for processed rice foods, glutinous(W) and normal rice grains (N) were soaked for 1, 8, and 12 hours prior to processing. One half (DG) was air-dried and milled, and the other (WG) was milled and air-dried. General, morphological and pasting properties of the flours (NDG, NWG, WDG, WWG) were compared to those of a control (raw milled rice without soaking). The general compositions of the rice flours varied with soaking. Crude ash was considerably decreased at the beginning of soaking (1 hour). With the soaking, the rice flour, having polygonal shaped particles and a layered surface, acquired particles with smooth edges, which were then uniformly distributed. Additionally, the WG flour was lighter and had a lower ${\Delta}E$ value than the DG flour, due to a higher L and less +b as a result of soaking. Compared to the control, the WBC of the normal rice flour was decreased significantly with soaking, and the WG flour had significantly lower WBCs than the DG flour. Stirring number (SN), an indicator of ${\alpha}-amylase$ activity, was highly and significantly correlated with WBC (r=-0.85, p=0.0001) in the normal rice flour. At $80^{\circ}C$, the SP and solubility of all the soaked rice flours were much higher than those of the control. Positive (r=+0.85, p=0.0001) and negative (r=-0.61, p=0.02) correlations between the SP and solubility of the normal and glutinous rice flours were found, respectively. Using RVA, the pasting temperature of NDG was lower than that of NWG (p<0.0001). The peak viscosities of all the soaked flours were significantly decreased with soaking (p<0.0l), with the highest viscosity in the normal rice flour soaked for 8 hrs. Total setback, indicative of retrogradation, was lower in NDG than in NWG, with the lowest setback at 8 hrs of' soaking. Based on these finding, the NDG flour with 8 hrs of soaking was less damaged, and had a lower total setback and lower pasting temperature, which would make it an appropriate rice flour for commercial mass production.

Changes of physicochemical properties during the preparation of persimmon pickles and its optimal preparing conditions including salt concentration, soaking temperature, soaking time, amount of fermented soy paste, and ripeness of fresh pesimmon were investigated. The salinity and pH of soaking solution were rapidly dropped during 40 days of soaking, while their changes were negligible after 40 days of soaking. When the fermented soy paste was added to the soaking solution with $10{\sim}40%$ the pH dropped more slowly. Salt content in persimmon pickles was gradually increased during soaking and soluble tannin content was rapidly decreased during the first 10 days of soaking. L value of persimmon pickles was gradually decreased, but a/b value was slightly increased. The hardness of persimmon pickles was slightly increased up to the 20th day of soaking and then decreased. Most acceptable persimmon pickles were prepared when the less ripened fresh persimmons were soaked in 10% salt solution at $15^{\circ}C$ for 40 days, and the suitable amount of soy paste added to the soaking solution for preparing persimmon pickles was 20%.

This study was carried out to investigate whether adhesive used in manufacturing glulam can be used to bond wood and GFRP, when considering working process and economical efficiency. The six different glulams were manufactured, changing the adhesives and the mixing ratios of the adhesives, and investigated by the block shear test and the delamination of the water soaking or boiling water soaking. The three glulams were manufactured, using the resocinol resin based adhesive, the PVAc resin based adhesive and the epoxy resin adhesive, and the other three glulams, using the adhesives mixing resocinol resin and PVAc resin. The block shear strength is higher than $7.1N/mm^2$ in all types, which is standard of KS F3021. However, in the wood failure the block shear strength was the highest as 65.9% in the PVAc. The delamination of glulams glued with PVAc adhesive, which was 1.08% in water soaking and 4.16% in boiling water soaking, was lower than 5.00% which is the standard of KS F 3021, and the adhesive strength is good. In glulams glued with only resocinol resin adhesive, the wood layers were good as 1.26% in the water soaking delamination and 0.00% in the boiling water soaking delamination. The GFRP layers were not good as 21.85% in the water soaking delamination but were good as 1.45% in the boiling water soaking delamination.
