The purposes of this study were to examine the effect of 35% hydrogen peroxide (HP) bleaching agent on the changes in physical and chemical characteristics of tooth. The bleached teeth showed an apparent color changes. The whiteness increased linearly within the tested period as the period of bleaching increased. The microhardness between bleached groups after bleaching showed any statistically significant difference according to the paried t-test. The bleached enamel surface showed any apparent morphological changes compared to the enamel which was stored in distilled water only. The difference of the total mineral contents for the distilled water and hydrogen peroxide did not show statistical significance. These results demonstrated that bleaching using 35% hydrogen peroxide were adversely affects application time of experimental group and may confirm the safety of using these agents for a short time in dentist-monitored bleaching.

A flightless brown hawk owl (Ninox scutulata) weighing 180 g was rescued and referred to the teaching veterinary hospital with humerus open fracture. On physical examination and radiography, open fracture of the left humerus was found. After 3 days, orthopedic surgery was operated with intramedullary pins and wires. The bird died 2 days after surgery with anorexia. On necropsy, multiple green nodules with 2-3 mm in diameter were observed at the surface and inside of the left lung. Numerous conidial heads and spores were seen in the center of foci in the histopathological examination. The mycelia penetrated the surrounding pulmonary parenchyma, showing inflammation and necrosis. The fungus was isolated from the lung and cultured on Sabouraud Dextrose Agar at $30^{\circ}C$ for 7 days. The colony was blue-green color with a powdery surface. The fungus was identified as Aspergillus fumigatus by DNA analysis, including the internal transcribed spacer region, partial ${\beta}$-tubulin, and the calmodulin gene. This case was diagnosed as pulmonary aspergillosis secondary to open fracture of pneumatic bone in a brown hawk owl.

Copper-red (Dongwha, Jinsa) is Korean traditional inorganic pigment used for red-coloring on the porcelain surface during Goryeo and Joseon Periods. Trace amounts of copper-red porcelains are handed down because of the technical difficulty of making and coloring of the pigment. It is known that copper ore sources were extensively distributed in Korea according to old literatures and some of them are still producing copper ore at this present. Main types of copper-bearing mineral in Korea are chalcopyrite ($CuFeS_2$) and malachite ($Cu_2CO_3(OH)_2$), and they are easily collected from the ground surface. This means Korea had geographical and economic geological advantages for supplying raw material of the pigment. These two minerals showed good red-coloring in color test for porcelain pigment. As a coloring element, copper showed micro size less than $5{\mu}m$ in diameter in glaze matrix. The dispersion of copper particle is the most decisive factor for red chromaticity of copper-red porcelain, as well as copper content of the pigment.

Vacuum drying was conducted for a steamed pumpkin-sweet potato slab to improve its quality, convenience and preference as snack. Steamed sweet potato was dried from 30 to $60^{\circ}C$ for 12 hr, after which moisture contents, colors, and taste were evaluated. The lowest moisture content was 0.22% upon vacuum drying at $60^{\circ}C$ for 12 hr. Lightness decreased while other color values (a, b and ${\Delta}E$) increased with increasing drying temperature and drying time. Reducing sugar and soluble solid contents ranged from 98.7~268.11 mg/g and $19{\sim}72^{\circ}Brix$, respectively. Sensory score of the sample was the highest when dried at $50^{\circ}C$ for 6 hr. The optimum drying conditions were predicted to be $48.5{\sim}62^{\circ}C$ and 5.1~7.1 hr by response surface methodology.

Now many sustitution and false articles is used in korea instead of shanyao. To use shanyao correctly, we will make a quilitative certificational plan of shanyao to investigate all of lieraturea, records and documents. And we could reach conclusions as folloews. 1) Source About a source of shanyao, though korea and china has a each other source, we think there is no problem in use of both. 2) Process In our country producing shanyao as medical use is a 'duanma', we can divide into peeling and non-peeling, drying at bulks and at briquets, steaming shanyao and fresh shanyao. Regardless of existence for peeling and steaming, a distributing shanyao is received a proper judgment. Like this result was expressed by insufficiency of standards about medical components or indicating components. We detected a reminding S02 more than 10 ppm. And this expresses that there ia a problum at a drying method. To suggest proper processing methods, a standard of quility will have to be made which the existence of peeling, difference of quility between 'changma' and 'duanma', drying method and exudation test with cutted thickness are adaptable. Besides, 'maoshanyao' and 'guangshanyao' of china is processed by various methods which decrease a medical effect such as too much soaking shanyao in water, steaming with a sulfur, too much peeling, So we must process shanyao like the next methods. (1) When harvesting, dig deeply not to cut off roots. (2) Not to peel, wash shanyao in a washing machine. (3) Dry to 50-60% degree at sunny place or drying machine. (4) To be easy for drying and exudation, cut off a thick piece with 5 mm (5) Dry perfectly at ding machine. 3) Quality3) Quality (1) Functional standards It is not Proper that 'guangshanyao' is used in china because it has a problem with quility on process of working, If they did not soak shanyao in water or heat with steam, it is the real situation that they cannot cutt off shanyao evenly. In conclusion, shanyao must be heavy, powdery with a perfectly non-peeling surface, section surface is yellow-white color, unequal and has no holes. (2) Physicochemical standards It is the real situation that we can not distinguish into quility of shanyao with established test because various workings which decrease medical effects is used. Therefore we suggest a testing standard of S02 which is used in bleaching. And testing standards relatived with decrease of medical effects must be established at once. It must that Dry on loss is less than 14.0%, content of ash is less than 6.0%. Content of acid-nonsoluble ash is less than 0.5%. Contens of heavy metal has to detect less than 30 ppm and there is no reminding agricultural medince.

The study was performed to investigate the effects of delayed gamma-irradiation and CA storage on the keeping quality of chestnuts. Chestnuts peviously stored for 3 months at 0$^{\circ}C$ were irradiated at 0 to 0.25 kGy of Co$\^$60/ gamma rays and then stored for 6 months under CA conditions of 3% O$_2$ and 5% CO$_2$ or air at 0$^{\circ}C$. Delayed gamma-irradiation completely inhibited the sprouting of chestnuts, and tore reduced the rotting rate by the combination with CA storage. The weight loss was reduced by delayed gamma-irradiation and CA storage. Hunter L and b values of flesh surface of the chestnuts stored under CA were higher than those of samples stored under air regardless of gamma irradiation. Vitamin C, total sugar and reducing sugar contents decreased immediately after irradiation Vitamin C and reducing sugar contents after 6 months of storage were lower in the samples kept under CA than in those under air. Results indicated that delayed gamma-irradiation after harvest and subsequent CA storage showed inhibitory effects against the development of saluting and rotting and the loss of weights and surface flesh color changes in chestnuts.

The tendency of the miximum brightness of $Y_2$O$_3$:Eu phosphor with various activator concentration, by different surface treatment methods as well as different exciting energies were investigated. The surface treatment methods were the adsorption method used $\alpha$-Fe$_2$O$_3$powder prepared emulsion-drying process and the precipitation method used FeSO$_4$/ethanol. Eu concentration of maximum brightness of $Y_2$O$_3$:Eu phosphor prepared by solid-solid state was changed with various exciting energies. The concentrations were 0.02 mol at VUV(147 nm) as well as 400 V and 0.03 mol at 5 kV. The phosphor treated both by adsorption method and precipitation method showed decreasing luminescent intensity with increasing amount of $\alpha$-Fe$_2$O$_3$, and the methods are chosen by exciting energy. Adsorption method was effective in a low voltage and VUV(147nm) region, and precipitation method was effective in the high voltage region.

Skin properties are influenced by a variety of internal or external factors. This study was conducted to investigate and compare the skin characteristics in Asian women. We evaluated values of skin physical parameters, and then assessed the correlations among the parameters, and regional differences in 1,500 Asian subjects in seven countries (Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, India, China, and South Korea). The values of transepidermal water loss (TEWL), pH, skin hydration, sebum content, skin sensitivity, elasticity, crow's feet wrinkles, and skin brightness were measured. New Delhi's women were observed to have a lower level of hydration in stratum corneum, sebum content, stinging scores, and darker skin color than others. Furthermore, their skin surface pH on all sites is the highest among seven countries. Vietnamese had the lowest pH values in skin surface. Korean and Chinese had generally higher elasticity and fewer wrinkles. Both the skin hydration and TEWL had positive correlations with the stinging test, and there was a negative correlation between wrinkles and stinging test. These results represent that there was no clear trend related to the area or region. Skin physical parameters should be studied along with understanding of regional differences and various factors (skin care habits, lifestyle and personal sensitivity).

Purpose: TiN films were deposited on sus304 by unbalanced magnetron sputtering system which was designed and developed as unbalancing the strength of the magnets in the magnetron electrode. The effect of oxygen incorporation in the fabrication of deposited films was investigated. Methods: The cross sections of deposited films on Silicon wafer were observed by SEM to measure the thickness of the films, the components of the surface of the films were identified by XPS survey spectra, the compositional depth-profile of deposited films was examined by an XPS apparatus. Results: From the data of XPS depth profile of films, it could be seen that the element O as well as the elements Ti and N present in the surface of the film and the relative percentage of the element O was constant at 65 at.% with respect to the depth of film. Conclusions: The color change with thickness of the films had something to do with the change of Ti $ 2p_{3/2}$ peak intensity and shape mixed of $ TiO_2$, TiN, $ TiO_{x}N_{y}$ compound.
