Vegetable soybeans were blanched at 80, 90 and $100^{\circ}C$ for 30, 20 and 10min, respectively. NaCl(3%) was also used to measure the protective effect of soybean color. The color of vegetable soybeans was measured by colorimeter, -a value (greenness) was highest at $100^{\circ}C$-10min. However, the chlorophyll contents was highest at $80^{\circ}C$-30min. NaCl (3%) decreased the loss of chlorophyll in blanched vegetable soybeans. The reaction rate constant for the thermal degradation of chlorophyll and greenness doubled per $10^{\circ}C$. The activation energy chlorophyll a of pod for thermal degradation of chlorophyll a in pods were 138.02 (unsalted), 146.63 (salted) Kcal/mol, respectively.

Devolatilization of the Refuse Derived Fuel(RDF) which is produced at WonJu in Korea was characterized in air atmosphere with variation of heating rate(10, 20 and $30^{\circ}C/min$) in TGA. The results of TG Analysis have shown that the pyrolysis and char combustion of the RDF occurred in the range of $350{\sim}700^{\circ}C$ depending on the heating rate. Activation energy of the RDF which was determined by using Friedman and Ozawa-Flynn-Wall method was in the range of 14.44~18.40 kcal/mol. Also, reaction order(n) and pre-exponential factors(A) were 1.219 and $3.02{\times}10^5$ by using Friedman method, respectively. In order to find out the devolatilization mechanism of the RDF, twelve solid-state mechanisms defined by Coats Redfern Method were tested. The results of the Coats Redfern Method have shown that chemical reaction is the effective mechanism by comparison with the value of the activation energy which was derived from the Friedman and Flynn-Wall-Ozawa method and correlation coefficient from twelve solid-state mechanisms of Coats Redfern Method. The solid state decomposition mechanism of the RDF was found to be a decelerated $F_1$ type, random nucleation with one nucleus on the individual particle.

Rheological properties of chestnut starch suspensions (3 and 4%, db) and gelatinized starch (4%, db) were investigated with a capillary and rotational viscometer, respectively. Starch suspensions had no yield stress and showed dilatant flow behavior in the temperature ranges of $30-65^{\circ}C$. However, starch suspension showed pseudoplastic flow behavior at $70^{\circ}C\; and\;above\; 65^{\circ}C$ for 3 and 4% concentration, respectively Flow activation energy below $50^{\circ}C$ was 0.56 kcal/mole but increased to 51.9-80.8 kcal/mole at $60-70^{\circ}C$. The behavior of gelatinized starch (4%) was pseudoplastic regardless of heating temperature $(65-80^{\circ}C)$ and time (15-60 min). The apparent viscosity of the starch remained constant after heating at $80^{\circ}C$ for 45 min. The swelling power and log apparent viscosity showed similar pattern. The activation energy of the apparent viscosity of the geletinized starch at $70-80^{\circ}C$ was 13.09kcal/mole. The apparent viscosity of thermal-gelatinized $(90^{\circ}C)$ starch was lower than that of 15 psi-gelatinized starch.

Water-vapor transmission rate and water-vapor permeability of carrageenan-based edible film with three different thicknesses of 0.05, 0.08 and 0.11 mm were measured to investigate the potential applicability of the films to powder foods at five different temperatures (20, 25, 30. 35 and $4^{\circ}C$) and three different relative humidities (50. 70 and 90% RH). Water-vapor transmission rate of the carrageenan-based film was gound to be 2.3 times higher than that of polyethylene (PE) film and water-vapor permeability of the film was 45-230 times higher than that of PE film. Water-ydpor permeability of the film seemed to increase linearly with the film thicknees like other hydrophilic edible films. Water-vapor transmission rate were found to be dependent on the temperature. Activation energies of the water-vapor transmission rate of the film were found to be between 7.898 and 12.8702 kj/mol depending on the film thickness. The water-vapor transmission rate of the film showed the typical kinetic compensation effect between activation energies and preexponential factors. which was proved by the linear increase in the value of logarithms of preecponential factor.

This paper presents deposition and characterization of hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon (${\mu}c$ -Si:H) films on low cost glass substrate by Hot Wire CVD(HWCVD). The HWCVD ${\mu}c$ -Si:H films had deposition rates ranging from 2${\AA}$/sec to 35${\AA}$/sec with the variations of preparation conditions, which was 10 times higher than that of the films obtained from the conventional PECVD method. From the Raman spectroscopy, the prepared silicon films were found to be composed of the mixture of crystalline and amorphous phases. The crystalline volume fraction and average crystallite size, obtained from the Raman To mode peak near 520cm$^{-1}$, were 37-63% and 6-10 nm, respectively. The conductivity activation energy($E_a$) of the ${\mu}c$ -Si:H films, representing the difference of conduction band and Fermi level in an intrinsic semiconductors, increased from 0.22eV to 0.68eV with increasing pressure from 30mTorr to 300mTorr. The increase of $E_a$ with pressure indicates that the deposited films have properties close to intrinsic semiconductors, which is also proved with low dark conductivity of the ${\mu}c$ -Si:H deposited at 300mTorr. The tungsten concentration incorporated into films was about $6{\times}10^{16}atoms/cm^3$ in the samples prepared at wire temperature of 1800$^{\circ}C$.

In order to minimize the deterioration of osmotic dried apple quality, the characteristics of mass transfer during osmotic dehydration such as solid gain(SG), weight reduction(WR) and moisture loss(ML) were investigated. Moisture and solid transfer were analyzed by Fick's law. The highest (equation omitted)E value was observed with severe browning at $60^{\circ}C.$ The concentration effect on (equation omitted)E were higher at high temperatures than at low temperatures. SG, WR and ML increased as immersion temperature, sugar concentration and immersion time increased. Higher concentration of sucrose led to more sucrose absorption resulting increase in SG. Diffusion coefficients of moisture increased with immersion temperature and sugar concentration. As concentration increased, diffusion coefficients of solids increased at $20^{\circ}C$ while it decreased at $40^{\circ}C$ and $60^{\circ}C.$ Arrhenius equation was appropriately explain the effect of temperature on diffusion coefficients. Moisture and solid diffusion showed high activation energy in 20 。Brix solution, compared with in 40 and 60 。Brix.

In the paper, Significant sintering phenomena at refractory temperature ranges, from $1400^{\circ}C$ to $1700^{\circ}C$, of the pure spinel ($MgAl_{2}O_{4}$) and the experimental data from other researchers are analysed and compared in terms of density ($\rho$), grain growth exponent(n), and activation energy (Q). Similar to the density rewsults, the grain growth results above $1600^{\circ}C$ appear similar for the spinel, but for temperatures lower than about $1600^{\circ}C$ results are distinctly differently grouped. However, the grain growth exponents are different, six for the spinel (below $1600^{\circ}C$), and five at high temperatures(above $1600^{\circ}C$), with the activation energy of 474$\pm$38 kJ/mol below $1600^{\circ}C$, which is very close to the published values, 360~580 kJ/mol.

Rheological propreties of defatted and 1% palmitic arid reincorporated rice starch solutions were investigated, comparing with nondefatted starch. Flow behavior of gelatinized starch solutions(3-7%) revealed pseudoplastic behavior with yield stress, but yield stress was decreased by defatting. Relationship between logarithmic consistency index and concentration of nondefatted starch solution was linear with single slope, but the slopes for defatted and reincorporated starch solutions were different at 3-5% and 5-7% starch concentration. The activation energies for 7% starch solutions were estimated to be 3.14-4.76 kcal/g mol and increased slightly by defatting. All thre starch solutions above 4% concentration exhibited hysteresis phenomena, but by defatting, humping phenomena was observed and thixotropic behavior were increased slightly.

The fluorine-containing epoxy resin, 2-trifluorotoluene diglycidylether (FER) was prepared by reaction of 2-chloro-${\alpha}$,${\alpha}$,${\alpha}$-trifluorotoluene with glycerol diglycidylether in the presence of pyridine catalyst. Curing behavior of FER/DDM system was investigated using dynamic and isothermal DSC. Cure activation energy (Ea) was determined by Flynn-Wall-Ozawa's equation. The rheological properties of FER/DDM system were studied under isothermal condition using a rheometer. Cross-linking activation energy (Ec) was determined from the Arrhenius equation based on gel time and curing temperature. As a result, the chemical structure of FER was confirmed by FT-IR, $\^$13/C NMR, and $\^$19/F NMR spectroscopy. The cure activation energy of FER/DDM system was 55.4 kJ/mol and conversion and conversion rate were increased with the curing temperature. The cross-linking activation energy of FER/DDM system was 41.6 kJ/mol and gel time was decreased with the curing temperature.

Seven varieties of soybeans(Paldal, Danyeob, Jangbaek, Baegun, Jangyeob and 2 cultivars of Local 1 and Local 2) were investigated to compare the water uptake properties and volume changes during soaking in water. The hydration properties showed that the equilibrated weight increase ratio decreased as the soaking temperature raised to higher than $40^{\circ}C$, while the initial water uptake rate increased upto $80^{\circ}C$. The increase in hydration showed a linear relationship with the square root of the soaking time at $4^{\circ}{\sim}60^{\circ}C$. Local 1 was the highest in water uptake rate constant while Local 2 was the lowest. The activation energy calculated was in the range of $3,246{\sim}4,694\;cal/mole$. The Jangbaek and Local 1 were the highest and the Paldal was the lowest in the rate of volume increase. The activation energy for volume increase was in the range of $3,310{\sim}4,190\;cal/mole$. The z-values calculated from volume change was a little higher than those obtained from weight change.
