Changes in physicochemical characteristics were investigated for immature barley kernels roasted at $160{\sim}220^{\circ}C$ for $1{\sim}12$ min. Only small differences in chemical constituents including starch, protein, fat, ash, total dietary fiber, and ${\beta}-glucan were observed between immature and mature barley kernels. The amounts of 75% ethanol-soluble sugars and amino acids present in immature barley kernels were considerably higher than those in mature kernels, and gradually decreased in the process of roasting. Of free sugars, sucrose, raffinose, glucodifructose($GF_{2}$) and maltose were reduced by roasting. Glucose and fructose, simple reducing sugars, decreased at the early stage of roasting, followed by a slight increase at the later stage. Starch and nitrogen contents decreased slowly, while TDF(total dietary fiber) had a tendency to increase slightly. Stacking volume of immature barley kernels increased markedly, especially at the higher temperatures. L value of immature barley decreased throughout roasting, and a, b values increased at the early stage of roasting but b value decreased with continued roasting. The degree of roasting was strongly affected by the roasting temperature. Darkness of immature barley kernel, depending on the degree of roasting, was highly associated with concentrations of brown pigments extracted from roasted immature barley kernels.

FAO standard for heat sterilization of wood, International standards for phytosanitary measures (ISPM) No.15, must meet heat-treated wood core temperature to be higher than $56^{\circ}C$ and keep the temperature for more than 30 minutes. This study was carried out to analyze the heat treatment characteristics of domestic pinewood sterilized with the FAO standard. To enhance the effectiveness of heat treatment process in mountainous district energy consumption and time required to reach target temperature were evaluated at various temperature and relative humidity conditions and moisture contents of wood. Heat-treatment of high temperature and high humidity reduced the required heating time. Lower humidity levels at same temperature reduced energy consumption per unit time. However, lower humidity levels could not reduce total energy consumption greatly because longer treatment time was required at that condition. It is necessary to estimate energy consumption and predict treatment time in dynamic heating and cooling situations, because it frequently happens not to meet optimum treatment condition due to poor surrounding climates and operation performance of heat treatment facility in real field.

최근에 에너지 자원의 고갈이 다가오는 상황에서 태양전지 분야가 주목받고 있으며 이에 대한 시장이 급격하게 확대되고 있다. 그러나 현재의 태양전지는 주를 이루고있는 실리콘태양전지의 경우 원재료 수급이 불안정하여 가격 변동이 심하다. 따라서 이를 대체할 2세대 태양전지인 박막형 태양전지의 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 박막형 태양전지 중에서도 주목받고 있는 것은 Cu(In,Ga)$Se_2$(CIGS)박막 태양전지이다. CIGS는 Ga의 농도에 따라 1.02~1.68eV의 다양한 에너지 밴드갭을 갖는 직접천이형 반도체 물질이다. 또한 $1{\times}10^5cm^{-1}$의 높은 광흡수계수를 가지고 있으며, $450{\sim}590^{\circ}C$의 고온공정에서도 매우 안정하여 열화현상이 거의 보이지 않아 박막형 광흡수층 재료로서 적합하다. 흡수층을 제조하는 방법은 여러 가지가 있지만, 본 연구에서는 균일성이 뛰어나고 원료사용효율이 높은 sputtering 방법을 사용하였다. 그리고 결정화하기위해서 유독기체를 사용하는 셀.렌.화. (selenization) 방법 대신 전자빔을 조사하는 방법을 채택하였다. sputtering을 통한 CIGS precursor을 제조하기위해 2~3개의 화합물target을 사용하는데, 대표적인 방법으로 동시에 sputtering하는 co-sputtering 방법과 각각의 단일 층을 쌓아 제조하는 stack형으로 분류된다. 본 연구는 CIGS precursor를 제조하기 앞서 CuGa 단일 층만을 제조하여 공정조건에 따른 박막을 제조하였다. 제조된 CuGa 단일층은 전자빔 처리에 따른 영향을 알아보기 위해 전자빔의 세기와 공정시간을 달리하여 특성을 알아보았다. 실험에서는 Cu:75wt%,Ga:25wt% 조성의 target을 사용하여 공정 압력을 각각 10~1mTorr로 변화시키며 실험을 실시하였으며 공정 power는 50W, 70W, 100W로 변화 시키며 실험을 실시하였다. 이때 실험의 초기진공은 turbo-molecular pump를 이용하여 $1{\times}10^{-6}torr$ 이하로 하였으며, Target과 기판사이의 거리는 모두 같은 조건으로 고정하여 실험을 실시하였다. 박막의 균일성을 증가시키기 위하여 5 rpm의 속도로 기판을 회전하였으며 기판 온도는 가열하지 않고 상온에서 전구체를 증착하였다. 그 후 전자빔의 세기를 고정 시킨 후 전자빔 조사 시간을 조절하여 전자빔 조사 전후의 특성을 각각 분석하였다. 전기적특성은 Hall effect, 4-point probe, 구조적 특성은 SEM,EDS, XRD, XRF 를 이용하여 분석하였다.

The basic catalyst 1-benzyl-3-methyl-imidazolium hexafluoroantimonate (BMH) was synthesized and analyzed by FT-IR and ¹H-NMR. A crystalized biphenyl-based epoxy was synthesized by using tetramethyl biphenol (TMBP) and epichlorohdrine. In order to consider the curing tendency of the synthesized BMH, the mass ratio was changed to 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 wt.% under heated conditions and the curing tendency was analyzed by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). As a result, the BMH catalyst showed a fast curing result in the stepwise heating pr℃ess of the biphenol-A epoxy and the cationic polymer. From these results, the BMH catalyst showed excellent thermal stability as a potential heat curing catalyst. In addition, we considered the application possibility of epoxy molding compound (EMC) which required a skeleton structure and a high heat resistance because the synthesized biphenyl epoxy had a characteristic of rapidly lowering viscosity at a constant temperature and a rigid skeleton structure of biphenol. As a result, it was confirmed that the TMBP-based epoxy developed in this study was composed of a crystalline structure, and a curing reaction was observed with a Novolac resin at a high temperature. In the presence of a catalyst, a curing reaction was observed around 150 ℃ and thus TMBP-based epoxy was successfully applied as a raw material of EMC.

To investigate effectors on the colloidal stability of whey and soybean proteins, characteristics of tofu-gel formation, effects of heat treatment and salt composition on the colloidal stability, and effects of heat treatment on storage stability were analyzed. When experimental tofus were made from the mixture of whey and soybean, the calcium in the whey precipitated the soy proteins, and disrupted the gel formation, which resulted in the curd of poor texture. In the heat treatment at $60{\sim}100^{\circ}C$, whey and the whey proteins dialyzed against distilled water were readily preciptated at over $70^{\circ}C$, but the mixture of whey and soy extract as well as soy extract were stable at the range of temperature. The proteins of soy extract, whey dialyzed against sodium phosphate buffer, and the mixture were stable at the same heat treatment, and this suggested that phosphates in the soy extract stabilize specialty the whey proteins. Soy proteins were easily destabilized by adding $CaCl_2(0.05{\sim}0.07M)$ at $80{\circ}C$ and $70{\sim}85%$ of the proteins in soy extract and the mixture were preciptated, while only $30{\sim}55%$ of the proteins in whey dialyzed against distilled water were destabilized at the same conditions. Storage stability at $4^{\circ}C$ of the mixture was increased when the mixture was treated at $63^{\circ}C$ and lower temperature.

L-ascorbic acid, the representative antioxidants, has a great effect on skin whitening, collagen synthesis, and anti-aging, but has low oxidative stability during storage. Therefore, in this study, thermal and oxidation properties of L-ascorbic acid under various storage conditions (powder, aqueous phase, changes of temperature, UV-irradiation, and inflow of external air etc.) were investigated. And the storage stability of ingredient was validated in the double-spaced pouch by analysing oxidation properties under each storage conditions (powder phase and blended with essence). In oder to analyze the thermal properties, TGA, DSC, and FT-IR analysis were carried out and UV-visible spectrophotometer & redox titration were used in parallel for oxidation property analyses. From the result of experiment, L-ascorbic acid was oxidized fast when it contained lots of metallic ion, hydroxy ion in aqueous solution under high temperature, UV-irradiation & inflow external air, whereas it was not oxidized for a long time when it was stored as pure powder although it has same condition as heating up, UV-irradiation & inflow external air. Based on this result, retention period of cosmetics which is using L-ascorbic acid, less stable material in oxidation can be innovatively increased when using double-spaced pouch that is designed and produced for separating storage of active ingredients.

This work was to determine the quality changes of milk with respect to the chemical components when HTST pasteurized by microwave energy. Raw milk was HTST pasteurized $(at\;72^{\circ}C\;for\;15\;sec)$ by three methods; by heating in a stainless steel tube immersed in a hot water bath (MP0), by heating in a microwave cavity to a desired temperature and then holding in a hot water bath (MP1) and by both heating and holding in a microwave cavity (MP2). There were no significant differences in pH and titratable acidity before and after pasteurization and among the different pasteurization methods. MP1 or MP2 showed better retention or less destruction than MP0 with respect to vitamin A, vitamin $B_1$, ascorbic acid and lysine content. The higher retention of nutrients of the MP1 or MP2 supports the possibility of using microwave energy for the pasteurization of milk and other fluid food products.

In the field of the $CO_2$ absorption process using aqueous ammonia, the effects of regeneration pressure and temperature on $CO_2$ absorption performances of the aqueous ammonia were investigated. The absorbents were prepared by dissolving ammonium carbonate solid in water to grant the resulted solution 0.5 $CO_2$ loading ($mol\;CO_2/mol\;NH_3$) and various ammonia concentration (14, 20, 26 and 32 wt%). As-prepared absorbents were regenerated at high pressure and temperature (over $120^{\circ}C$ and 6 bar) before the absorption test. The absorption test was carried out by injecting the simulated gas that contains 12 vol% of $CO_2$ into a bubbling reactor. The introduction of 26 wt% of the ammonia concentration for $CO_2$ absorption test resulted in the higher absorption capacities than other experimental conditions. In particular, when the absorbents with 26 wt% of the ammonia were regenerated at $150^{\circ}C$ and 14 bar, the highest absorption capacity, $45ml\;CO_2/g$, was obtained. According to the analysis of absorbents using acid-base titration, the ammonia loss during the regeneration of the absorbents with a fixed ammonia concentration decreased as the regeneration pressure increased, while it increased as the regeneration temperature increased. In the condition of fixed regeneration pressure and temperature, as expected, the ammonia loss increased as the ammonia concentration increased. The measured $CO_2$ loadings and ammonia concentrations of absorbents were compared to the values calculated by Electrolyte NRTL model in Aspen Plus.

A new mix design procedure for cold in-place recycling using foamed asphalt (CIR-foam) has been developed for Iowa Department of Transportation. Some strengths and weaknesses of the new mix design parameters were considered and modified to improve the laboratory test procedure. Based on the critical mixture parameters identified, a new mix design procedure was developed and validated to establish the properties of the CIR-foam mixtures. As part of the validation effort to evaluate a new CIR-foam mix design procedure, dynamic moduli of CIR-foam mixtures made of seven different reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) materials collected throughout the state of Iowa were measured and their master curves were constructed. The main objectives of this study are to provide: 1) standardized testing procedure for measuring the dynamic modulus of CIR-foam mixtures using new simple performance testing (SPT) equipment; 2) analysis procedure for constructing the master curves for a wide range of RAP materials; and 3) impacts of RAP material characteristics on the dynamic modulus. Dynamic moduli were measured at three different temperatures and six different loading frequencies and they were consistent among different RAP sources. Master curves were then constructed for the CIR-foam mixtures using seven different RAP materials. Based upon the observation of the constructed master curves, dynamic moduli of CIR-foam mixtures were less sensitive to the loading frequencies than HMA mixtures. It can be concluded that at the low temperature, the dynamic modulus is affected by the amount of fines in the RAP materials whereas, at the high temperature, the dynamic modulus is influenced by the residual binder characteristics.

The object of this paper is to perform the experiments to investigate the relationship of the resistance forces and the failure temperatures on the failure behaviors of H-shaped steel compressive members. H-shaped members(SS400) were used for the test models and the tests for the elevated temperatures were performed by ISO 834 in FILK(Fire Insurers Laboratories of Korea). The local, overall buckling stresses and a yielding stresses for the failure temperatures were compared with the compressive stresses for the loading forces of test models, the yielding strength and elastic modulus reduction factor of the steel at a high temperature were based on the criteria of the EC3(Eurocode 3) Part1.2(1993). The slenderness ratio was fixed by 45.4 and the compressive forces corresponded with 50%, 70% and 80% of the yielding forces at the normal temperatures were chosen for the loading forces of the test models. The failure temperatures of the test models were investigated under three kinds of loading conditions. It was known that the resistance forces have come close to the yielding forces, not the elastic buckling loads evaluated by EC3 at the failure temperatures obtained from the tests which are related to the failure temperatures and the loading stresses.
