This paper conducted a study on the application of ceramic materials for bridge bearing that can complement the durability of PTFE, a conventional bridge bearing friction material, and exhibit low coefficient of friction and friction behavior without lubricant. The ceramic material was zirconia (ZrO₂), and the friction behavior was evaluated according to the roughness coefficient. The roughness coefficient was divided into 0.8 and 0.027, and the average coefficient of friction was calculated to be 0.16 under 15 MPa surface pressure. Afterward, ceramic was made into friction material and applied to the bridge bearing, and performance comparison with PTFE bridge bearing was conducted through compression test and friction test. In the compression test, the ceramic and PTFE bridge bearing showed ideal compression behavior depending on the load. No fractures or defects were observed in the ceramic bridg bearing, but lubricant loss was observed in the PTFE bridge bearing. The average coefficient of friction of the ceramic bridge bearing analyzed through friction behavior was 0.16. The inherent material properties of the physical and chemical properties of ceramics, the excellent mechanical properties derived from the performance evaluation, and the coefficient of friction of 0.16 suggest that it can be considered as a friction material.

Dextran was produced by $Leuconostoc$ $mesenteroides$ SM with various contents of yeast extract and its rheological properties were modulated, via an addition of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) of different viscosities. The conversion yield reached 90% after adding 3% yeast extract, which remained constant, thereafter. The acidity of the cultures was approximately 1.4 and 0.9% after fermentation for 24 h at 25 and $30^{\circ}C$, respectively. The total dextran content (107.3 g/kg) was the highest in the presence of the 3% yeast extract. Under the same conditions, the consistency, viscous modulus (G"), and elastic modulus (G') of the cultures were $37.6\;Pa{\cdot}s^n$, 38 Pa, and 50 Pa, respectively. The rheological properties of the culture were changed drastically by the fortification with HPMC of higher concentration and viscosity. The addition of 10% HPMC (4,000 cp) resulted in a significant increase in G" to 1,950 Pa. Furthermore, adding HPMC to a viscous culture resulted in a remarkable increase in both hardness and firmness.

It improves human being's life quality that all people can have mure convenient medical service under pervasive computing environment. For a pervasive health care application for cardiac patient, we've implemented a health care system, which is composed of three parts. Various sensors monitor outer as well as inner environment of human such as temperature, humidity, light and electrocardiogram, etc. These sensors form a network based on Zigbee. And medical information server accumulates sensing values and performs back-end processing. To simply transfer these sensing values to a medical team is a simple level's medical service. So, we've designed a new service model based on back propagation neural network for more improved medical service. Our experiments show that a proposed healthcare system can give high level's medical service because it can recognize human's context more concretely.

We make a gonioradiometer to realize the scales of total luminous flux and total spectral flux from standards of irradiance and illuminance. Transferring of the photometric scales to a radiometric base has been completed by using a new goniometer to realize a scale of total luminous flux from the scale of illuminance. This is done by measuring the flux emanating from an optical source in different directions and integrating it over an entire imaginary surface surrounding the source. This method is suggested for the realization of the scales of total luminous flux and geometrically total spectral flux. The combined uncertainty of a total flux in the KRISS gonioradiometry is 1 % in the condition of 95% reliance.

This study was performed to compare the wear resistance of sealant and flowable resins for analyzing the effect of flowable resin as a sealant in preventive resin restorations. Specimens were made and Vicker's hardness number and surface roughness were measured. SEM observations of the polished and abraded surfaces were established. Kruskal-Wallis rank test and Mann-Whitney U test at the significant level of ${\alpha}$=0.05 were used. The following results were obtained: 1. The microhardness was decreased among groups in following order: Z350 (3M ESPE, U.S.A), Estelite (Tokuyama Dental, Japan) and Ultraseal (Ultradent, U.S.A). There were significant differences in all groups (p<0.0001). 2. The surface roughness was decreased among groups in following order: Ultraseal XT plus, Palfique Estelite LV and Filtek Z350 flowable. However, there is no statistically significant differences in roughness among Estellite, Z350 and Ultraseal at the significance level of ${\alpha}$=0.05, with p=0.116 3. SEM observation of the unworn and worn surfaces revealed the qualitative differences in the wear appearance among groups. The results in this study indicate that flowable resin is better than sealant in aspect of physical properties.

To convert the soybean curd residue (SCR) to functional food ingredient, alkaline fermentation of SCR was performed by Bacillus firmus NA-1 and Bacillus subtilis GT-D for 22 hr at $42^{\circ}C$. The micronized full-fat soy flour (MFS) was fortified to reduce the moisture content as well as to supply protein source. The mucilage and flavor productions in the fermented SCR were enhanced by the fortification of $20\%$ MFS. The peptide production from the SCR fermented with B. subtilis GT-D substantially increased when judged by the detectable amount of tyrosine $(480\;mg\%)$. The production of fibrinolytic enzyme was increased by the fermentation for 22 hr, indicating the relative activity of $62\%$ (B. firmus NA-1) and $47\%$ (B. subtilis GT-D), respectively. The SCR fermented by B. firmus NA-1 and B. subtilis GT-D indicated the consistency of $1.95\;Pa{\cdot}s^n\;and\;0.21\;Pa{\cdot}s^n$, respectively. After freeze-drying, the protease activity (615 unit/g) and a-amylase activity (180 unit/g) were obtained from SCR fermented by Bacillus firmus NA-1 and Bacillus subtilis GT-D, respectively.

Objectives: This study was conducted to analyze the sugar content, acidity, and viscosity of the Korean frozen desert. Methods: A total of 60 types of frozen desserts marketed in Korea were randomly selected and classified into frozen desserts, milk-fat ice cream group, and non-fat ice cream group according to the classification criteria for frozen desserts. Each product was treated under the same conditions to investigate the component of each product, and sugar content, acidity, and viscosity were measured. Frequency analysis and one-way ANOVA were performed. Results: As a result of analyzing the characteristics related to dental caries activity by group, the frozen dessert had the lowest average pH of 3.67, and the sugar content was significantly higher in the milk-fat group (33.22) and non-fat group (32.89) than in the frozen dessert. The viscosity was also the highest in the milk-fat group at 32.62, and the frozen dessert was significantly lower at 9.42. Conclusions: Due to the abnormal temperature and spread of the coronavirus, consumption of frozen desserts at home is on the rise. To prevent dental caries in children, education is needed for children and their guardians for proper oral care after eating frozen desserts.

This study aims to identify the impact of optical energy on cultural properties when the light energy irradiates cultural assets during augmented reality (AR) or media façade performances as activities designed to garner public interest. The 10-story Gyeongcheonsa Pagoda was used for this study, and the impact was evaluated by comparing the optical energy irradiated during a media façade performance with the energy irradiated under normal conditions. For comparison, this study measured the illuminance in lux for each light source that irradiated the ten-story stone pagoda and used the data to calculate illuminance in lux-hours. The results showed that the pagoda receives 786.4 lux per hour when both sunlight and artificial light are present, while 13.2 lux of energy is irradicated by the media façade for each performance. The result indicates that the pagoda receives about 29.8 times more optical energy from sunlight and artificial light sources than during media façade performances on an hourly basis, when the performance is carried out twice a week. This study therefore concludes that the optical energy of media façade performances inflicted trivial damage to the ten-story stone pagoda.
