The dietary Root Powder Mixture of Angelicae gigantis Radix and Bupleurum falcatum Linne (RPM of AGR & BFL) was feded for 6 weeks to added 0. 0, 0. 4, 1. 0, 2. 0% respectively in the broiler diets. The ,RPM of AGR & BFL was found to be palatable as birds consumed moreyof the test diets than the control diet. The BW gain of 1. 0% RPM of AGR & BFL group was higher than the control group. Feed efficiency (F/G) was improved significantly (P by feeding of 1. 0% RPM of AGR & BFL diet. The carcass weight was improved by feeding with 1. 0% added diet and the carcass ratio was increased in added diets. The amounts of chest meat and drumsticks were heaver in 0. 4% added deit than control. There was no consistent trend in various organ weight by the addition of RPM of AGR & BFL. Fat accumulation of abdominal and gizzard surrounding was highly measured in the broiler fed 0. 4% RPM of AGR & BFL diet. Total serum protein, cholesterol and triglyceride contents were tended to increased with 2. 0% RPM of AGR & BFL ration, and in the 1. 0% addled diet to enhenced BW gain total serum protein, cholesterol and triglyceride concentration were analyzed the lowest among treatments.

Effects of bellflower and red ginseng on plasma and liver lipid metabolism in rats receiving dietary cholesterol were studied. During experimental period of 14 days the rats were divided into four dietary groups: standard diet: Control diet containing 1% cholesterol and 0.25% sodium cholate to the standard diet: bellflower diet containing 5% bellflower to the control diet, and red ginseng diet containing 5% red ginseng to the control diet. The contents of total cholesterol (TC), HDL-cholesterol(HC), total lipid(TL) and triglyceride(TG) in the plasma and liver were determined after 12 hours fasting. Liver weight of the rats fed control, bellflower or red ginseng diets was greater than that of the rats fed standard diet, however, kidney weight was greater at the standard group. Spleen weight was slightly greater in bellflower diet group. Rats fed control, bellflower and red ginseng diets showed significantly higher concentrations of TL, TC and TG, but lower concentration of HC in the plasma and liver than rats fed standard diet. Neither dietary bellflower nor red ginseng changed the levels of these four classes of lipid in the plasma of control diet group. But bellflower reduced the level of TG in the liver.

Isoprene is a one of the biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) and it is known as a source of the tropospheric ozone and formaldehyde. In addition, isoprene is a trace component of the exhaled breath and it is a potential biomarker for the diagnosis of diseases such as lung cancer. In these regards, isoprene gas standards are required for the accurate measurement of isoprene in air samples. To establish a standard for isoprene gas, gravimetric preparation and characterization of primary gas standards were studied. The primary gas standards were produced independently in 4 aluminum cylinders and concentrations were examined by GC-FID. As a result, the uncertainty of the gravimetric preparations including purity of the raw material was 0.01% and reproducibility of the preparation of independent 4 cylinders was 0.08%. The primary gas standards for isoprene showed 14 months of long-term stability. The relative expended uncertainty of 2.8% (95% of confidence level, k=1.96) was assigned to the certified value of 10 ${\mu}mol$/mol level of isoprene based on the quantitative evaluation of the purity, weighing, reproducibility, adsorption and long-term stability.

This study was conducted to investigate the changes in some physicochemical properties, including pH, moisture and ash content, Ca, Na, Mg, K, crude saponin and codonoposide, of cultivated Codonopsis lanceolata, which were packed with woven polypropylene(WP) or low density polyethylene(LDPE, thickness 0.04 mm) bag and stored at $4^{\circ}C\;or\;20^{\circ}C$ for 30 days. pH of the juice of fresh Codonopsis lanceolata was 5.3 and decreased significantly during storage. Storage temperature exerted more influence upon the content of moisture and ash than package materials. The concentration of Ca, Mg, Na and K were 427.3mg, 203.4mg, 10.2mg, and 619mg per 100g dry matter respectively. The contents of Ca and Na were not changed significantly, but the contents of Mg and K were decreased during room temperature storage. It was revealed that the juices of stored sample had darkened and redness and yellowness were somewhat deeper than those of fresh sample. 1g of the cultivated Codonopsis lanceolata had 29.3mg of crude saponin and 3.78mg of codonoposide, and the changes of them during storage at various conditions were not significant.

These studies were carried out to investigate the effects of ascorbate and $\alpha$-tocopherol administration on the biochemical parameters of liver function and hydroperoxidation in liver of chronically ethanol-treated rats. Forty healthy Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats weighing about 120g were used for this experiment and divided into the following 5 groups: control group (CON), ethanol control group (ECON), ascorbate treated group (EASC), $\alpha$-tocopherol treated group (ETOC) and ascorbate.$\alpha$-tocopherol mixture treated group(EASC + ETOC). Ethanol was administered orally by 5ml per kg, body weight per day for 8weeks. Antioxidants treated groups were administered orally by 5mg per kg body weight per day in saline solution for 3 weeks. Lipid hydroperoxides were analyzed by using chemiluminescense-high performance liquid chromatography (CL-HPLC) method phosphatidylcholine hydroperoxide value (PCOOH) in liver tissues. Ethanol treatment significantly (p<0.05) resulted in an increase in GPT and GOT activities and liver hydroperoxide values comparing with the untreated control, while administration of $\alpha$-tocopherol and ascorbate+$\alpha$-tocopherol to the chronically ethanol-treated rats significantly (p<0.001) decreased GPT and GOT activities and liver hydroperoxide value. These results indicate that dietary $\alpha$-tocopherol and $\alpha$-tocopherol combined with ascorbate administration may inhibit the formation of liver lipid hydroperoxidation in vivo and were very effective in recovering the liver function in chronically ethanol-treated rats.

In order to determine the variability of environmental characteristics of lightweight air-foamed soil using marine clay according to freezing-thawing and soaking conditions, unconfined compressive strength of the lightweight air-foamed soil samples made by changing the amount of cement under curing conditions of outdoor low temperature, underground or indoor wetting were observed. Compressive strength was not increased under freezing-thawing (temperature range of $-9.1^{\circ}C{\sim}17.2^{\circ}C$) regardless of the amount of cement but the more cement using, it was increased rapidly by underground curing conditions within 30 cm beneath ground level. Therefore, it is necessary to install insulation layer cutting off exterior cold air after construction of lightweight air-foamed soil in condition of freezing-thawing. Bulk density was increased too small under the long-time soaking condition, it tended to decrease rapidly when samples were dried up and had below 6% of water contents. But variability of compressive strength and bulk density was very small for preventing drying and keeping its wet state. The lightweight air-foamed soil that installed beneath ground water level or covered by soil can be evaluated as a long-term reliable construction material.

Liquefied Petroleum Gas is divided into liquefied gases containing propane (C₃H₈) and butane (C₄H₁₀). The quality of LPG varies greatly depending on the composition of the mixture, so it is important to measure the composition accurately. It is difficult to determine the composition of the mixture because liquid and gas coexist at room temperature. Therefore, the uncertainty in determining the concentration of hydrocarbons by component is high, and there are many problems that differ from the actual content standard. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a mixed liquid propane standard gas for the composition and accurate concentration of hydrocarbon substances. Mixed liquid propane standard gas is manufactured into bellows-type constant-pressure cylinders by ISO-6142 (2015). The homogeneity of the four standard gases manufactured was confirmed to be GC-FID. The manufacturer's uncertainty of expansion was 0.01 % to 0.30 % and homogeneity was 0.03 % to 0.25 %. In this mixed liquid propane standard gas, the relative expansion uncertainty of weight method, manufacturing consistency, cylinder adsorption and long-term stability was developed within 0.26 %-1.3 9% (95% of confidence level, k=2).

Purpose: This study aims to enhance the resistance against sulfate attack compared to ordinary Portland cement (OPC) concrete by using liquid crystal display (LCD) as binder. Method: The fundamental properties including compressive strength and porosity of concrete replaced by LCD up to 15% at increments of 5% and in turn, the weight, volume, and strength loss of LCD-mixed concrete was analyzed. Results: For the concrete substituted by 5% of LCD, it showed the highest compressive strength at 28 days of curing, and particular at immersion of $Na_2SO_4$ solution, it was achieved the lowest loss of weight, volume and strength due to an decreased porosity at capillaries. In contrast, there is no distinct difference of the sulfate attack resistance between LCD-mixed concretes under exposure of $MgSO_4$ solution, excepted for OPC concrete. Conclusion: In this study, comparison of resistance to sulfate attack between LCD-mixed concretes, and it would be proposed the possibility of LCD usage as binder through long-term verification with extended replacement ratio and identification of changes of hydrates in the cement matrix.

This study was examined for investigating the quality changes of spring kimchi cabbage under various treatments (pre-drying/pre-cooling, packaging types, and stacking and loading in container and pallete in the storage room) during cold storage. The results showed that control (upward stacking without pre-drying/pre-cooling and HDPE or PVC film cover) was increased significantly in weight loss and trimming loss, compared to other treatments such as DPDH (downard stacking + pre-drying + HDPE), DPDP (downard stacking + pre-drying + PVC), DPCH (downnard stacking + pre-cooling + HDPE), and UPCH (upward stacking + pre-cooling +HDPE) during storage for three months. In Sensory evaluation, judging from marketable properties, the desirable appearance of spring kimchi cabbage with the modified pallet-unit MA packed, PE, and PVC film wrapping could be maintained until 9 weeks after pre-drying/pre-cooling. Meanwhile, the control without any treatments after 6 weeks, the sensory score was declined, significantly. In general, the low temperature (10℃ and 2℃) of pre-treatment with combination of plastic film packaging in spring kimchi cabbage storage could inhibit the physiological activity and reduce the direct exposure of environmental cold air in the storage. Therefore, these two variables were the key points for extending the shelf-life of spring kimchi cabbage.
