This study evaluated the functional components of barley bran with different particle sizes and cultivars (Dahan, Hinchalssalbori, Heukgwang, Huknuri, and Boseokchal). Barley bran divided into fractions I (<60 mesh), II (60~100 mesh), and III (>100 mesh) was collected as pearling by-products produced by an industrial process consisting of consecutive barley pearlers. Total ${\beta}-glucan$ contents of all cultivars were especially highest in fraction II. Total arabinoxylan was the highest in barley bran from Boseokchal in fraction II. Total polyphenol contents were the highest in bran from Boseokchal and Hinchalssal in fraction II, and contents ranged of 5.61~7.00 and 4.24~6.58, respectively. Total flavonoid contents of all cultivars were especially highest in fraction II. 2,2'-Azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activities ranged from 2.78~7.53 mg L-ascorbic acid (AA) eq/g and 2.24~4.83 mg AA eq/g, respectively. ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging activities were the highest in barley bran from Dahan in fraction II. In this study, fraction II showed enriched functional components and has the best particle size range for enriched antioxidant activities. These results provide useful data for selection of appropriate cultivars and particle size of bran to achieve high quality barley processing.

The EEG is a time series of electrical potentials representing the sum of a very large number of neuronal dendrite potentials in the brain. The collective dynamic behavior of neural mass of different brain structures can be assessed from EEG with depth electrodes measurements at regular time intervals. In recent years, the theory of nonlinear dynamics has developed methods for quantitative analysis of brain function. In this paper, we considered it is reasonable or not for ICA apply to EEG analysis. Then we applied ICA to EEG for big toe movement and separated the independent components for 15 samples. The strength of each independent component can be represented on the topological map. We represented ICA can be applied for time and spatial analysis of EEG.

막분리기술은 분릿대상 성분과 분리매체와의 분자 사이의 힘의 차를 이용하여 분리하는 기술이기 때문에 분리특성을 고도로 기능화시키는 것이 가능하다. 또한 막분리 기술 자체가 에너지 절약기술이기 때문에 차세대 분리기수로서 중요한 역할을 할 수 있다. 이와 같은 분리기술은 역삼투법 등의 수용액계와 상온 부근의 기체분리막은 실용화되어 있다. 그러나 비수용액계 또는 고온 공정에서 특수한 조건하에서 고기능성 분리성능을 가지는 막의 개발에 대한 요구가 증대되고 있다. 이에 대응하여 내열성, 내용제성이 우수한 고분자에 의한 분리성능을 요구한다. 특히 근년에는 방향족 polyimide 수지가 주목을 받고 있으며, 내열성, 내구성 및 기계-전기적 특성이 우수한 재질로 광범위하게 사용되고 있다. 이것은 분자 구성기가 가지는 결합에너지가 크고, 분자의 규칙성에 의한 유리전이온도가 높아서 250-300$\circ$C의 고온에서도 사용이 가능한 재료로서 한외여과막과 기체분리막으로 시판되고 있다.

The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) is amending its test methods for the use of health functional foods (dietary food supplement), in order to establish regulatory standards and specifications in Korea. In this regard, we continue to pursue and perform our research on the analytical method development for the items being researched and reviewed. In this study, we have developed a sensitive and selective test method that could simultaneously separate and determinate six major bioactive flavonolignans in silymarin, which are based on the use of a liquid chromatographic-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The standard calibration curves presented a linearity effect with the correlation coefficient ($r^2$) > 0.999. The limits of detection (LODs) and limits of quantitation (LOQs) were in the range of $0.3{\sim}9.0{\mu}g/L$ and $0.8{\sim}27.3{\mu}g/L$, respectively. The recovery results ranged between 96.2~98.6% at 3 different concentration levels, and its relative standard deviations (RSDs) were less than 5% as noted in this study. The proposed analytical method was characterized with a noted high resolution of the individual silymarin constituents, and the assay was fully validated as well. Our research can provide a significant scientific evidence that can be useful to amend the silymarin test method for the Health Functional Food Code.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of germanium (Ge) application types on the nutrient concentrations in soil and leaves and leaf characteristics in a 'Niitaka' pear orchard in 2004. Ge application included foliar application, fertigation in soils, trunk injection, and the three-combined application. All Ge treatedplots had lower soil $NO_3$-N, K, and Ca concentrations than those of control plot. Ge concentrations in Ge treated-soils were approximately 50 times higher than those of the control. Ge applications significantly increased area, dry weight, and specific weight in leaves compared to the control. Control treated-trees had greater K concentrations in leaves than the Ge treated-trees, which was oppositively observed for the leaf Ca; leaf Ca was higher on the Ge treated-trees than control. Leaf Ge concentrations were significantly higher on the Ge treated-trees compared to the control, except for the Ge fertigation. Ge concentrations in fruits were greater on the Ge-treated trees than the control trees.
