The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of pH, temperature, light, sugars, and organic acids on the stability of anthocyanin pigments extracted from aronia (Aroniamelanocarpa). Pigments from aronia were most stable at pH 3.0, with maximal absorbance at 514 nm. High temperatures and prolonged heating substantially reduced anthocyanin contents. Anthocyanin levels were as low as approximately 21.70 and 79.63% of normal levels after 300 min of heating at 30 and $100^{\circ}C$, respectively. All of the sugars tested decreased the abundance of aronia pigments, with the levels highest in the presence of maltose, and decreasing progressively in the presence of galactose, sucrose, glucose, and fructose. Among the organic acids tested, citric acid was the most effective in stabilizing the aronia pigment, followed by tartaric acid, malic acid, formic acid, and ascorbic acid. These results provide useful reference data for efforts to use pigments from aronia in processed foods or for developing natural food colorants.

Concrete is generally accepted to have good inherent fire resistance. It mainly relies on the assumption that concrete has low heat-transfer characteristic and spatting does not occur during the course of a fire. However, the significant numbers of fire accidents have shown in recent years that incidence of spatting has caused sever damages to many structures. This review has systematically investigated the behaviour of concrete in fire, including phenomenon of spatting, with respect to the theorical consideration and experimental results. Explosive spatting is caused by the build-up of water vapor pressure in concrete subjected to increasing temperatures. When this pressure exceeds the tensile strength of the concrete over a fire-exposed area, explosive spatting can result in a typical temperature range between $200^{\circ}C\;and\;400^{\circ}C$. The major functions are known to be moisture content, pore pressure, load ratio, and heating regime.

Polymer modified cement mortar (PCM) can improve the performance of adhesion strength, flexural strength, chemical resistance, etc., compared with cement mortar, and is widely used when repairing RC structures. However, PCM causes a burst in an environment with high temperature and fire rate, which causes problems in the stability of the structure. In this study, for the purpose of developing explosive reduction PCM, the polymer mixing ratio is 2%, 4%, 6%, the fiber length is 6mm, 12mm, 6+12mm, and the PP fiber mixing rate is 0.05 Vol% and 0.1 Vol%. Furnace heating experiment (600℃, 800℃) was carried out. As a result of comparative analysis of the explosive properties, it was confirmed that the explosive reduction effect due to the fiber incorporation was insufficient when the polymer mixing amount was 6% or more.

자성재료에 자기장을 걸어주변 가열되고 자기장을 제거하면 냉각되는 성질이 있는데, 이를 자기열량효과(magnetocaloric effect)라고 하며, 이것을 이용해서 저온을 생성시키는 방법을 자기냉동(magnetic refrigeration)이라고 한다. 큐리 온도(Curie temperature) 부근의 강자성체에 자 기장이 가해지면 전자례도내에서 쌍을 이루지 않은 전자들의 자기모벤트들이 자기장에 평행 하게 배열되는데, 이로 인해 열역학적 무질서의 척도인 엔트로피는 낮아지고 이러한 손실을 보상하기 위해 재료의 온도가 올라가게 된다.반대로 자기장이 제거되면 자기모벤트가 본래의 무질서한 상태로 돌아오며, 엔트로피가 증가하 고 재료의 온도는 떨어지게 되는 것이다. 역사적으로 보면 1881년에 Warburg가 큐리온도 부근의 철에서 자기열량효과를 처음 발견하였으며. 1926년과 1927년에 Debye와 Giauque가 각각 단열소자볍 (adiabatic demagnetization)을 제안함으로써 실용화되기 시작하여 주로 극저온을 얻는 방법으로 이용되어 왔다. 1950년도 이전의 연구는 절대온도 영도(OK)에 도달하고 자 하는 순수과학적인 노력으로서 개방사이클(open cycle)을 이용한 단열냉각 방식을 추구하 였으나, 1950년 이후부터는 공학적인 응용을 목적으로 밀폐사이클(closed cycle)을 형성하는 자기냉동기에 관한 연구가 진행되었다. 1976년에 Brown은 희토류(rare earth) 금속인 가돌리늄(Gd)을 사용하여 유체(물 80%와 에틸 알코올 20%)를 재생시킴으로써 상온에서 작동 하는 자기냉동기를 보고한 바 있다. 그는 7 T의 큰 자장을 이용하였으며, 고온부와 저온부의 온도는 각각 $46^{\circ}C와\;-1^{\circ}C로서\;47^{\circ}C$의 온도간격을 얻었다. 자기냉동에 있어서의 또 하나의 중요한 진전은 1978년과 1982년에 Steyert와 Barclay에 의해서 능동자기재생기(active magnetic r regenerator)의 개념이 소개되고 개발된 것으로, 이는 자성재료가 냉매로서 뿐만 아니라 열전달 유체의 재생기로도 사용되는 방식이다. 이상과 같은 자기냉동기술의 발달에 이어서 1997년에 미국의 Astronautics사(Wisconsin주 Madison시 소재)와 Ames 연구소(Iowa주 Ames 시 소재)의 공동연구팀이 발표한 두 가지의 새로운 진전으로 인해 공기조화 및 냉동분야에 적용할 수 있는 자기냉동기의 실용화 가능성이 한층 높아졌다. 이들의 연구결과는 (1) 자기냉동이 실온에서도 실현 가능한 기술이며 증기압 축식 냉동에 필적할 만하다는 것을 보인 것과 (2) 이미 알려져 있던 자기냉동재료보다 자기 열량효과가 훨씬 큰 새로운 재료를 발견한 것이다. 이로써 자기냉동에 대한 관심과 기대가 한결 커지고 있다. 본 원고에서는 자기냉동의 원리가 되는 자기열량효과와 이를 이용한 자기냉동의 방법 그리고 최근에 이루어진 새로운 진전에 대해 소개하고 공기조화 및 냉동분야에의 적용 가능성을 전망해 보고자 한다.

The pyrolysis has been universally applied to recycle the waste artificial marble. However, the existing heat treatment equipment has relatively low heat transfer efficiency into the inner part of the waste artificial marble. Besides, it leads to unnecessary excessive gas during the partial carbonization of the polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and raises the risk of fire due to heat at an extremely high temperature. This study suggests the process of pyrolysis at the formation state after adding the starch to waste artificial marble to overcome above-mentioned problems. As the result of experiments, this method showed that the pyrolysis of waste artificial marble was greatly improved at comparatively low temperature condition of $350^{\circ}C$. Moreover, it also manifested the effect on securing the stability and energy savings necessary for the recovery of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and ${\alpha}$-alumina (${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$).

There have been many technologies and materials proposed for realizing microlens array, and plastic injection is recognized as the most promising one because of several merits such as optical properties, impact resistance, formability, lightening and environmental adaptability. Since PR reflow for injection template fabrication enables the lens shape control easier, and the sample technology more effective for mass production, it lowers the cost, enhances integration, and reduces process steps, which leads to be environmentally benign. However injection of polymers may face the difficulty of formability depending on their properties. In order to overcome the difficulty, fast heating/cooling technology was introduced in this study, and microlenses were fabricated and evaluated. template obtained by PR reflow method was heated and cooled fast during injection to fabricate microlens array. PC and PMMA polymer materials were compared, and it was realized that PMMA showed much better formability due to its lower melting temperature. Injection parameters of pressures and velocities were driven out for injection optimization.

The recent gradual increase in the energy demand is mostly met by fossil fuel, but the research on and development of new alternative energy sources is drawing much attention due to the limited fossil fuel supply and the greenhouse gas problem. This paper assesses the feasibility of producing fuel energy from a dewatered sewage sludge by microwave-induced pyrolysis with sludge char and graphite receptor. Both receptors produced gas, char, and tar in order from product amount. The gas produced for the sludge char receptor contained mainly hydrogen and methane with a small amount of light hydrocarbons. The graphite receptor generated higher gravimetric tar and generated higher light tar. Through the results, the product gas from the microwave processes of wet sewage sludge might be possible as a fuel energy. But the product gas has to be removed the condensable PAH tars.

Performance of the applicator for hyperthermia is determined by both the degree of impedance matching and specific absorption rate(SAR) distribution in the surrounding tissue. In this paper, the coaxial-slot antenna using staircasing approximation in the FDTD is analyzed and the coaxial-slot antenna for the hyperthermia improving heating characteristics is designed. The SAR of the coaxial-slot antenna approximated to staircasing and square model is analyzed, and the SAR of staircasing model is compared with Saito's SAR measurement and square model. As a result, the SAR of proposed model exhibited agreement with the Saito's measurement of square model. Ig averaged SAR on the liver caused by proposed antenna in this paper is 195 W/kg, and is about 27.9 % higher than the Saito's antenna 152.5 W/kg, respectively.

The thermochemical parameters for safe handling, storage, transport, operation and process design of flammable substances are explosive limit, flash point, autoignition temperature, minimum oxygen concentration, heat of combustion etc.. Explosive limit and autoignition temperature are the major physical properties used to determine the fire and explosion hazards of the flammable substances. Explosive limit and autoignition temperature of methane fur LNG process safety were investigated. By using the literatures data, the lower and upper explosive limits of methane recommended 4.8 vol$\%$ and 16 vol$\%$, respectively. Also autoignition temperatures of methane with ignition sources recommended $540^{\circ}C$ at the electrically heated cruicible furnace (the whole surface heating) and recommended about $1000^{\circ}C$ in the local hot surface. The new equations for predicting the temperature dependence and the pressure dependence of the lower explosive limits for methane are proposed. The values calculated by the proposed equations were a good agreement with the literature data.
