This study investigated the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of yanggaeng prepared with various amounts of Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten powder (as ratios of 1%, 3%, 5%, 7% to the total materials). According to the results, the pH of yanggaeng decreased significantly with the addition of Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten powder (p<0.001). Increasing the amount of Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten powder in the yanggaeng tended to increased $^{\circ}Brix$ value (p<0.01). For color values, lightness (L) values were reduced by increasing the amount of Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten powder, redness (a) and yellowness (b) while values were increased significantly (p<0.001). Texture measurement scores in terms of hardness, springness, and Adhesiveness for yanggaeng showed that sample groups were lower than those of the control group. Cohesivene and chewiness were higher in the additive group than in the control group. Antioxidant activities, evaluated by DPPH radical scavenging capacity, Nitrites cavenging activity, and total phenolic substances content increased when increased the amount of Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten powder (p<0.001). Results of descriptive analysis showed that by increasing the amount of Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten powder, some attributes such as the intensity of the color, sweet, hardness and chewiness increased (p<0.01). It concluded that yanggaeng containing Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten can be prepared with good sensory properties and antioxidant activities, and the addition of 3% Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten powder was found to be ideal. Sensory evaluation scores in terms of color, odor, taste, texture, and overall preference of groups with 3% of Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten powder did not show any significant differences when compared to the control group. Based on the above results, this study suggests that the addition of 3% Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten powder may be the best substitution ratio for yanggaeng.

Shield method is the tunnel boring method that propels a steel cylinder in the ground and excavates tunnels at once. After Marc Isambard Brunel started using the method for the Thames Riverbed Tunnel excavation in London, many kinds of TBM (Tunnel Boring Machine) developed and applied for the construction of road, railway, electricity channel, pipeline, etc. In comparison with NATM concept that allows to observe ground condition and copes with difficulty. The machine selected before starting construction is not able to be changed during construction in shield TBM. Therefore the machine should be designed based on the ground survey result and experiment, so that the tunnel might be excavated effectively by controlling penetration speed, excavation depth and cutter head speed according to the ground condition change. This research was conducted to estimate penetration depth, excavate speed, wear of disc cutter on Boondang Railway of the Han Riverbed Tunnel ground condition by TBM performance prediction models such as NTNU, $Q_{TBM}$, Total Hardness, KICT-SNU and compare the estimated value with the field data. The estimation method is also used to analyze the reason of poor excavation efficiency at south bound tunnel.

For identifying the cause of the difference from the texture of mealy potatoes-Namjak and soomi- and soggy Potatoes-Daeji and Dowon-, starch and pectic substances and their relating materials were analyzed, and polygalacturonase(PG) activity was measured. The shape and size of Namjak and soomi starch granules were circular and diameter ranged from 0.02 to 0.024 mm. In the meanwhile, Daeji and Dowon had two sizes of starch granules; larger one tend to be oval in shape and diameter of longer side ranged from 0.04 to 0.045 mm, that of narrower side ranged from 0.02 to 0.03 mm and smaller one was rather circular in shape and average deameter was below 0.005 mm. Oval shaped potato starch grancules under polarized light showed dark cross of V-shape, whereas circular granules showed cross shape. Total sharch contents of Namjak and soomi were higher than that of Daeji and Dowon. The changes of pectic substances were the decrease of the insoluble pectin and the increase of the soluble pectin, and the reduction of the total pectic substance content after cooking. This phenomena were more prominent in Namjak and Soomi than in Daeji and Sowon. PG activities of Namjak and Soomi were greater than Daeji and Dowon. Calcium contents of Namjak and Soomi were lower than Daeji and Dowon. Phytic acid contents of Namjak, Soomi, Daeji and Dowon were 0.093%, 0.096%, 0.078%, and 0.081%, respectively. Hardness of Namjak and Soomi were less than Daeji and Dowon. The mealy potatoes had higher starch contents, higher tendency to pectin solubilization, higher PG activities, lower calcium contents and less hardness than the soggy Potatoes.

Mulberry pomace, a by-product obtained from mulberry juice, has not been utilized as a food material for food processing. In this study, the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of chocolate to which mulberry pomace has been added were evaluated. Freeze-dried mulberry pomace was added to white chocolate at the level of 0, 0.5, 1.5 or 2.5%, and then the white chocolate ganache was put between two layers of dark chocolate. The moisture content and sweetness were not significantly different among treatments, but reducing sugar content was increased, according to the amount of mulberry pomace powder. The Hunter color L(lightness) and b(yellowness) values decreased, according to the mulberry pomace powder amount, whereas the a(redness) increased. The hardness increased according to the mulberry pomace powder amount. Total phenol and flavonoid contents increased, according to the mulberry pomace powder amount. Antioxidant activities(DPPH and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities) also increased, according to the mulberry pomace powder amount. The result of the sensory intensity test revealed that the scores of color, mulberry taste, hardness and chewiness were the highest in the 2.5% mulberry pomace powder added chocolate. Sensory preference test results showed that chocolate added with 1.5% mulberry pomace powder had the highest scores in color, flavor, taste, texture and overall preference. It is suggested that chocolate to which mulberry pomace powder has been added may be a functional chocolate, with high antioxidant activity.

This study was conducted to investigate the noodle added with Pachyrhizus erosus powder. Total contents of carbohydrates, crude protein, crude lipid, ash, and total dietary fiber were 87.14%, 3.14%, 0.81%, 7.82%, and 49.12%, respectively. The water-binding capacity was significantly increased by increasing amount of the Pachyrhizus erosus powder. When the volume of the noodles was measured after cooking, there was no difference between the control and Pachyrhizus erosus powder groups. The texture characteristics of hardness increased by increasing amount of the Pachyrhizus erosus powder. As a result of the sensory test, the 1.5% Pachyrhizus erosus powder noodles showed the highest scores for all items including appearance, flavor, taste, texture and overall acceptability. The bacterial counts of noodle decreased with greater Pachyrhizus erosus powder content on the third days. It is considered that research on antimicrobial activity should proceed in the future. As a result, it was finally suggested that optimum level of the Pachyrhizus erosus powder in the product was 1.5% level.

This paper considers a revenue maximization problem on a single processor. Each job is identified as its processing time, initial reward, reward decreasing rate, and preferred start time. If the processor starts a job at time zero, revenue of the job is its initial reward. However, the revenue decreases linearly with the reward decreasing rate according to its processing start time till its preferred start time and finally its revenue is zero if it is started the processing after the preferred time. Our objective is to find the optimal sequence which maximizes the total revenue. For the problem, we characterize the optimal solution properties and prove the NP-hardness. Based upon the characterization, we develop a branch-and-bound algorithm for the optimal sequence and suggest five heuristic algorithms for efficient solutions. The numerical tests show that the characterized properties are useful for effective and efficient algorithms.
