The objective of this study is experimentally to investigate natural convective heat transfer characteristics of the ferrofluid for a concentric annuli under rotating magnetic field with variations of the revolution and the magnetic field strength. The rotating magnetic field was provided by induction motor with 6 poles and 3 phases and the revolution and the magnetic field strength were controlled by an inverter driver and a voltage meter, respectively. Temperatures of the inner pipe and the outer pipe in the tested concentric annuli were maintained at $30^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$, respectively, during the test and the direction of the rotating magnetic field was a counterclockwise. As a result, the natural convective heat transfer characteristics of the ferrofluid for a concentric annuli were increased with the rise of the revolution and magnetic field strength due to the increased heat dissipation between hot side and cold side of the concentric annuli.

A new eco-friendly synthetic method for N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS), widely used in the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries, is developed. Conventional synthesis method yields NHS of about 70% after its reaction with NH₂OH to succinic acid. In this method, NHS can be obtained using low-cost succinic acid, but a great deal of solvents are required as an extraction method to purify NHS, while the work-up process is complicated, resulting in low yield. In addition, there is a safety risk due to the high reaction temperature for commercial production, and it is not economical due to the high cost of production from the generation of much waste because of an acid catalyst and the use of various solvents. In order to make up for this shortcoming, this study used succinic anhydride as a raw material under low temperature reaction and developed a new eco-friendly industrial synthesis method using isobutyl alcohol for a single solvent and non-catalytic reaction. The economic evaluation confirms that there is a cost reduction effect of about 20%. In the future, based on this result, studies may establish a commercial production technology through scale-up research and proceed with foreign technology transfer.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between linear and volumetric measurements of apical dye penetration in canals obturated by various kinds of methods. The canals of 108 roots without crown were conventionally prepared and randomly assigned to four group. The canals of group I a2 were obturated by lateral condensation with sealer, group II a2 by thermoplasticized low-temperature ($70^{\circ}C$) gutta-percha with sealer, group III by Thermafil endodntic obturation with sealer and group IV by injection-molded thermop-lasticized guttapercha One mm of root apex was exposed to a 2 % methylene blue solution at $7^{\circ}C$or 10 days, and the quality of apical seals was assessed by measuring the leakage linearly and volumetrically. The obtained results were as follows: In linear measurements, group II showed significanty less leakage than group III, I and group III also showed less than group N, but no statistically significant difference was demonstrated between the others. In volumetric measurements, group II showed significantly less leakage than group I and II, and no significant differnce from group III. There was a weak significant correlation between the linear measurement and the volumetric measurement(r=0.3391, P<0.001).

This study was carried out to investigate the keeping quality of market milks collected from several dairy processing companies. Microbiological, chemical, and sensory properties of Intra-high temperature(UHT) treated milks stored at 5, 10, 15t were evaluated during the storage of 154days. No significant difference during the storage was shown in bacterial counts, pH and titratable acidity. Standard plate count(SPC) was remained less than 20,000 cfu/ml after 15 day storage at 5, 10, 15$^{\circ}C$. Also, Psychrotrophic bacterial count and Coliform count were not detected or detected at low level. The pH ranged from 6.55 to 6.83 and the titratable acidity ranged from 0.13% to 0.16%. In sensory evaluation, UHT milks showed normal flavor until 10days, but thereafter off-flavor was slightly developed. Consequently, UHT milks remained in good quality when stored at 5$^{\circ}C$,10$^{\circ}C$t until 15days except sensory properties. According to this experiment, the shelf-life of UHT milk can be extended to 10 days, even though maintaining the storage temperature strictly below 10 t in milk market is not easy.

In this study, thr effect of $Bi_2O_3$ and BN addition as grain boundary modifiers on sintering and electrical properties of semiconducting PTCR(Positive Temperature Coefficient of Resistivity) mate rial were analyzed using TMA, XRD and Complex Impedance Spectroscopy method. Bismut.h Ox~de and Boron Nitride were added to Y-doped $BaTiO_3$ respectively. Bismuth sesquioxide up to O.lmol%solubil~ ty limit of $Bi_2O_3$ in Y--$BaTiO_3$ ceramics-retarded densification and grain growth, and further addition mitigated these retardation effects. The resistivity at room temperature increased with increasing amount of $Bi_2O_3$ and thus decreased the PTCR effect, probably due to the $Bi_2O_3$ segregation on the grain boundaries. From the complex ~mpedance pattern, it is known that the grain boundary resisitivity is dominant on the whole resistivity of sample. In the result of applying the defect chemistry, $Bi^{3+} \;and \; Bi^[5+}$ are substituted for Ua and Ti site, respectively. Boron nitride decomposed and formed liquid phase among the $BaTiO_3$ grains. The decomposed com~ ponents made the second phase and existed the tr~ple juntion from the result of EPMA. From the complex impendencc pattern, the gram and grain boundary resistivity were small. The grain size increased with increasing BN contents, and decreased grain boundary resistivity enhanced the PTCR effect.

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.

A kiwifruit cultivar 'Hayward' has been grown in Jeju Island where the current climate is suitable for growth and development of this crop. Prediction of the geographical shift in the phenology can help the kiwifruits growers to adapt to the local climate change in the future. Two phenology models (i.e., chill-day and DVS) were parameterized to estimate flowering date of kiwifruits 'Hayward' based on the data collected from field plots and chamber experiments in the southern coastal and island locations in South Korea. Spatio-temporally independent datasets were used to evaluate performance of the two models in predicting flowering date of 'Hayward'. Chill-day model showed better performance than DVS model (2.5 vs. 4.0 days in RMSE). Daily temperature data interpolated at a higher spatial resolution over Jeju Island were used to predict flowering dates of 'Hayward' in 2021-2100 under the A1B scenario. According to the model calculation under the future climate condition, the flowering of kiwifruits shall accelerate and the area with poor flowering might increase due to the warmer winter induced insufficient chilling. Optimal land area for growing 'Hayward' could increase for a while in the near future (2021-2030), whereas such areas could decrease to one half of the current areas by 2100. The geographic locations suitable for 'Hayward' cultivation would migrate from the current coastal area to the elevated mountain area by 250 m.

In this study, using solid-state and flux, $Y_3Al_5O_{12}:Er^{3+}\;(YAG:Er^{3+})$ powders were successfully synthesized at low temperatures. To analyze the crystallinity of powders according to the synthesis or non-synthesis of powders and powder calcination temperatures, X-ray diffraction (XRD) was measured. In the case of pure YAG, when YAG was analyzed using the general solid-phase method, it was calcined for 12 hours at $1400^{\circ}C$ and pure YAG phase could be obtained. But when $BaF_2$ was added to YAG, YAG was synthesized at lower temperature (1000^{\circ}C$). It was thus found that the synthesis temperature could be lowered by about $400^{\circ}C$. Also, when BaF2 with an optimal concentration was added to $YAG:Er^{3+}$, the particle shape and size according to synthesis temperatures were surveyed, and corresponding luminous intensity was discussed.

the basic model of chemical reactor using glow discharge, we used cathode discharge cell with vacant cavity in the middle. Currently glow discharge is widely studied as a radiation source or atomization device in atomic spectroscopy and remarkable technological achievements are made through the graft with other analysis devices such as microanalysis and steel analysis.1 Additionally, as the characteristics of basic glow discharge and radiation have been reviewed many times, those results could be used in this experiment.2-3 In 1993, an article regarding the treatment of poisonous gas in the air using low temperature plasma was published. According to this article, if DC Glow Discharge is used under continuous atmospheric flow, poisonous gases such as SO2 and NO can be removed.4 Based on those findings, we designed highly efficient reactor where stable air plasma is composed and all air flow pass the negative glow area passing through the tube. It was observed that the cathode tube type glow discharge developed in this study would be economical, easy to use and could be used as radiation source as well.

A novel fabrication method for the multi-component metal oxides such as zirconium titanate($Zr_xTi_{1-x}O_2$) has been suggested, which would yield the uniform film characteristics and control the film composition at relatively low process temperature. The method has the basic concept that firstly layer-by-layer structure is constructed with the primitive oxide layers, which are components of the desired multi-component oxides, and secondly the film is annealed at appropriate thermal conditions for the transformation to a single-phase multi-component oxides. In this study, PRTMOCVD(pulsed rapid thermal metalorganic chemical vapor deposition) possessing the superior thickness controllability was introduced to prepare $ZrO_2$ and $TiO_2$ thin film for zirconium titanate. Single-phase zirconium titanate thin films have been prepared successfully by the interdiffusion of oxide multilayers having several alternating layers of $ZrO_2$ and $TiO_2$. The Zr/Ti ratio of zirconium titanate could be controlled easily by altering the thickness of $ZrO_2$ and $TiO_2$ thin film.
