This study aimed to evaluate the swelling behavior characteristics of KJ-II buffer blocks by performing numerical analysis of swelling pressure measurement experiments using the nonlinear elasticity model of COMSOL Multiphysics. The analysis was conducted under boundary conditions that included isotropic constraints and water injection pressure, mirroring the experimental settings. Validation of the numerical model was achieved by comparing its outputs with experimental results. The validated model was then used to simulate swelling deformations under unconfined conditions and to analyze swelling pressure as influenced by dry density and the geometric shape of the buffer material. The results accurately represented the swelling deformation observed during the saturation process and demonstrated that swelling pressure increases with higher dry density. Moreover, simulations concerning the geometric shape of the buffer material indicated a markedly faster rate of pressure increase in U-shaped samples compared to cylindrical ones. Analysis suggested that stress manifested preemptively near the internal edges of U-shaped samples during saturation. To enhance the simulation's fidelity to actual buffer material behavior, further refinement of the analysis model using a nonlinear elasticity model is recommended.

Paeksulkis(Korean rice cake) containing 0-0.5% chitosan were prepared for test the quality of microbiological, mechanical and sensory characteristics. The pH of Paeksulkis was 5.65 without chitosan and that was about 7.0 with 0.05-0.5% level of chitosan. In Hunter's color values of Paeksulkis of control, the lightness(L) was 84.28, redness(a) was -1.56 and yellowness(b) was 7.68. The lightness(L), redness(a) and yellowness(b) were increased with increasing concentration of chitosan in Paeksulkis. In mechanical characteristics of Paeksulkis, cohesiveness and springiness were the highest in control group while strength, hardness, gumminess and brittlenes were higher in chitosan added group than control group. In sensory evaluation of Pasksulkis, control group obtained the highest score in color, texture, after swallowing and overall quality(p<0.05) but chitosan added group obtained higher scores in moisture than control(p<0.05). Total bacterial counts(TBC) of Paeksulgis immediately before storage were 4.2∼9.2$\times$10$^2$CFU/g and those of control increased for 2 weeks, reached at 7.4$\times$10$\^$5/ CFU/g and then decreased about 1 log cycle for 2 weeks during storage at 5$\^{C}$. TBC of Paeksulgis added 0.3∼0.5% of chitosan were 2 log cycles lower than that of control at the end of storage at 5$\^{C}$. TBC of Pasksulgis control increased to 10$\^$8/ CFU/g during storage at 20$\^{C}$ but that of 0.5% chitosan added group was 1 log cycle lower than control at the end of storage. Shelf-life extension of Paeksulkis by chitosan was more effective during storage at 5$\^{C}$ than at 20$\^{C}$.

This study is to evaluate the physical and mechanical properties on the Ipseok-dae columnar joints of Mt. Mudeung National Park. For these purposes, physical and mechanical properties as well as discontinuity property on the Mudeungsan tuff, measurement of vibration and local meteorology around columnar joints, and ground deformation by self-weight of columnar joints were examined. For the physical and mechanical properties, average values were respectively 0.65% for porosity, 2.69 for specific gravity, 2.68 g/cm³ for density, and 2411 m/s for primary velocity, 323 MPa for uniaxial compressive strength, 81 GPa Young's modulus, and 0.25 for Poisson's ratio. For the joint shear test, average values were respectively 3.15 GPa/m for normal stiffness, 0.38 GPa/m for shear stiffness, 0.50 MPa for cohesion, and 35° for internal friction angle. The JRC standard and JRC chart was in the range of 4~6, and 1~1.5, respectively. The rebound value Q of silver schmidt hammer was 57 (≒ 90 MPa). It corresponds 20% of the uniaxial compressive strength of intact rock. The maximum vibration value around the Ipseok=dae columnar joints was in the range of 0.57 PPV (mm/s)~2.35 PPV (mm/s). The local meteorology of surface temperature, air temperature, humidity, and wind on and around columnar joints appeared to have been greatly influenced the weather on the day of measurement. For the numerical analysis of ground deformation due to its self-weight of the Ipseok-dae columnar joints, the maximum displacement of the right ground shows when the ground distance is approximately 2 m, while drastically decreased by 2~4 m, thereafter was insignificant. The maximum displacement of the middle ground shows when the ground distance is approximately 0~2 m, while drastically decreased by 3~10 m, thereafter was insignificant. The maximum displacement of the left ground shows when the ground distance is approximately 5~6 m, while drastically decreased by 6~10 m, thereafter was insignificant.

In this study, the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of chicken press ham not fed with citrus byproduct (T0) and fed with citrus byproduct (T1) were compared. There was not a significant difference in moisture, crude protein, crude fat, crude ash, crude fiber, Hunter's $L^*$ (lightness), $a^*$ (redness), $b^*$ (yellowness), hardness, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess, chewiness, shear force, water holding capacity and pH between T0 and T1. There was not a significant difference between T0 and T1 in terms of the chicken ham's VBN (volatile basic nitrogen) content for the first three weeks of storage, but after the fourth week of storage, the VBN content was 15.1 and 13.7 mg% for T0 and T1, respectively, which implies that feeding citrus byproduct significantly reduced the VBN content. There was not a significant difference between T0 and T1 in terms of the chicken press ham's TBARS (2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) value for the first two weeks of storage. However, the TBARS value was 0.31 and 0.22 mg malonaldehyde/kg for T0 and T1 during the third week of storage, and 0.49 and 0.32 mg malonaldehyde/kg for T0 and T1 during the fourth week of storage. There was not a significant difference between T0 and T1 in terms of the chicken press ham's TPC (total plate counts) for the first three weeks of storage, but after the fourth week of storage, the TPC was 4.96 and 4.72 log CFU/g for T0 and T1, respectively, which implies that T1 showed a significantly lower TPC than T0. T1 showed significantly higher aroma, taste, and palatability of the chicken press ham than T0, but there was a not significant difference in texture and juiciness between T0 and T1.

TMR feed was developed by adding mugwort (Artemisia capillaris), and was fed to Hanwoo cattle to investigate the effects of feeding mugwort on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of rump meat, and to determine the feasibility of producing Hanwoo beef with high quality and functionality. The experimental samples consisted of the Hanwoo rump from cattle fed with fattening TMR feed without mugwort (T0), and those fed with fattening cattle TMR feed supplemented with mugwort (T1). T1 was significantly higher than T0 for Hanwoo rump characteristics of Hunter's $L^*$, $a^*$, $b^*$ values (p<0.05). VBN content for T0 was significantly higher than for T1, and EDA for T1 was significantly higher than for T0 (p<0.05). There was no significant difference between T0 and T1 in terms of pH, TBARS, and total bacterial numbers. Water holding capacity for T1 was significantly higher than for T0 (p<0.05), but there was no significant difference between T0 and T1 in terms of freezing loss, thawing loss, and cooking loss. Springiness for T1 was significantly higher than for T0 (p<0.05), and there was no significant difference between T0 and T1 in terms of hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess, chewiness, and shear force. There was no significant difference between T0 and T1 in terms of acid value, peroxide value, and iodine value. However, the melting point for T1 was significantly lower than for T0 (p<0.05). Aroma of raw meat for T1 was significantly superior to aroma for T0 (p<0.05). Taste, palatability of boiled meat, and juiciness of roasted meat for T1 were significantly superior to those parameters for T0 (p<0.05). These results suggest that the feed containing mugwort can be used to improve color and sensory characteristics, inhibit VBN formation, and also to increase antioxidant ability as a functional feed.

In order to promote mechanization of corn harvesting in Korea, this study was conducted to find out the effect of moisture content on compressive properties such as force, deformation, energy and modulus of stiffness to the bioyield and the rupture point for Korean corn kernel. In this study, the loading positions of corn were flat, edge, longitude and the moisture contents were about 13, 17, 21, 25% in wet basis. The compression test was carreied out with flat plate by use of dynamic straingage for three varieties of Korean corn under quasi-static force when the loading rate was 1.125mm/min. The results of this study are summarized as follows; 1. When the moisture content of corn ranged from 12.5 to 24.5 percent, at flat position, the bioyied force was in the range of 13.63-26.73 kg and the maximum compressive strength was in the range of 21.55-47.65kg. Their values were reached minimum at about 17% and maximum at about 21% moisture content. The bioyield force was in the range of 13.58-6.70kg at edge position and the maximum compressive strength which was 16.42 to 7.82kg at edge position was lower than that which was 18.55-9.05kg at longitudinal position. 2. Deformation of corn varied from 0.43 to 1.37 mm at bioyield point and from 0.70 to 2.66mm at rupture point between 12.5 to 24.5% moisture content. As the moisture content increased, deformation was increased. 3. The moduli of resilience and toughness of corn ranged from 2.60 to 8.57kg. mm and from 6.41 to 34.36kg. mm when the moisture content ranged from 12.5 to 24.5 percent, respectively. As the moisture content increased, the modulus of toughness was increased at edge position and decreased at longitudinal position. And their values were equal each other at 22-23% moisture content. 4. The modulus of stiffness was decreased with increase in the moisture content. Its values ranged from 32.07 to 5.86 kg/mm at edge position and from 42.12 to 18.68kg/mm at flat position, respectively. Also, the values of Suweon 19 were higher than those of Buyeo. 5. It was considered that the compressive properties of corn at flat position were more important on the design data for corn harvesting and processing machinery than those of edge or longitudinal position. Also, grinding energy would be minimized when a corn was processed between about 12.5 to 17% moisture content and corn damage would be reduced when a corn was handled between about 19 to 24% moisture content in wet basis.
