Xylan is a major hemicellulose component of the cell walls of monocots and hardwood, representing up to 30% of the dry weight of these plants. To efficiently hydrolyze xylan, the endoxylanase gene from Bacillus sp. was expressed in B. subtilis DB431 by introducing the plasmid pJHKJ4. The total activity of the recombinant endoxylanase reached about 857 unit/ml by batch fermentation of B. subtilis DB431/pJHKJ4 in LB maltose medium. The majority (>92%) of endoxylanase was efficiently secreted into the culture medium. The recombinant endoxylanase hydrolyzed more the birchwood xylan efficiently than the other xylans. When 4 % concentration of xylan was used, the highest production of xylooligosaccharide was observed, and xylobiose and xylotriose were the major products. Optimal amount of enzyme and reaction time for producing xylooligosaccharide were found to be 10 unit and 1 hr, respectively. In addition, the temperature of $40^{\circ}C{\sim}50^{\circ}C$ gave the highest production of xylooligosaccharide. Consequently, the optimized conditions for the production of xylooligosaccharide through the hydrolysis of xylan were determined as follows: 10 unit endoxylanase, $50^{\circ}C$, 4% birchwood xylan, 1 hr reaction.

As a rapid and quick bioactive compound evaluation technique, in this study we utilized a automatic system of High Throughput Screening (HTS) to investigate DPPH radical scavenging efficacy of seaweeds, collected from Jeju Island in Korea. In this study, 6 species of green seaweeds, 18 species of brown seaweeds and 22 species of red seaweeds extracted with methanol at $20^{\circ}C$ and $70^{\circ}C$ were subjected to HTS. Of the green seaweeds tested, Enteromorpha compressa (20G6) of the green seaweeds showed DPPH radical scavenging activity of over 60%. On the other hand, the other green seaweeds showed poor DPPH radical scavenging activities (lees than 40%) at 1 mg/ml. Sargassum siliquastrum (20B17, 70B17), Dictyota dichotoma (70B1), Sargassum coreanum (70B16) and Ecklonia cava (70B26) among the brown seaweeds showed significantly high DPPH radical scavenging activity with 96%, 97%, 92%, 92%, 87%. Polysiphonia japonica (20R24), Schizymenia dubyi (20R17), Gelidium amansii (20R18) and Acrosorium flabellatum (20R23) among the red seaweeds showed remarkable DPPH radical scavenging activity of over 90%.

The purpose of this study was to compare EMG and GRF during a free throw. Seven pairs of surface electrodes were attached to the right-hand side of the body to monitor the flexor carpi radialis (FC), extensor carpi radialis longus (EC), biceps brachii (BB), triceps brachii (TB), rectus femoris (RF), tibialis anterior (TA) and medial gastrocnemius (GM). GRF data from two force platform were collected during a free throw. The results showed that the muscle activities in the unskilled group must be highly activated prior to the moment of release. This means that a skilled participant can shoot a free throw more efficiently while producing less muscle activeness than an unskilled participant. The DCP of unskilled group in the medio-lateral direction were greater than the corresponding values in skilled group. This showed that the unskilled group were not able to shoot the free throws stably. Thus, when a teacher or instructor teaches students how to shoot free throw, it is considered that the teacher show the learner how to use not only the upper limbs but also lower limbs on the basis of the efficent connecting movement and the flexibility in a stable procedure.

The final goal of this research is to develop a botanical biofiltration system, which combines green interior, biofiltering, and automatic irrigation, which can purify indoor air pollutants according to indoor space and the size of biofilter. The biofilter used in this experiment was designed as an integral form of water metering pump, water tank, blower, humidifier, and multi-level planting space in order to be more suitable for indoor space utilization. This study was performed to compare indoor air quality between the space adjacent to a botanical biofilter and the space away from the biofilter (control) without generation of artificial indoor air pollutants, and to evaluate plant growth depending on multiple floors within the biofilter. Each concentration of indoor air pollutants such as TVOCs, monoxide, and dioxide in the space treated with the biofilter was lower than that of control. Dracaena sanderiana ‘Vitoria’ and Epipremnum aureum ‘N Joy’ also showed normal growth responses regardless of multiple floors within the biofilter. Hence, it was confirmed that the wall-typed botanical biofilter suitable for indoor plants was effective for indoor air purification.

Magnetron-sputtering법을 사용하여 기존에 연구하였던 CrAlN (Cr 7：Al 3)박막에 Si를 첨가하여 Si의 함량 변화에 따라 미세구조와 화학적 결합상태, 온도저항계수(TCR) 및 산화저항의 영향과 기계적특성 개선을 통한 multi-functional heater resistor layer로써의 가능성을 연구하였다. CrAlSiN 박막의 Si 함량에 변화에 따라 온도저항계수 변화를 확인하였으며 X-선 회절 분석(XRD) 패턴 분석결과 CrAlSiN 박막의 결정구조가 Bl-NaCl 구조를 가지고 있는 것을 확인하였으며 SEM과 AFM을 통한 표면 및 미세구조 분석결과 Si의 함량이 증가할수록 입자가 조밀해짐을 알 수 있었다. 최근 digital priting technology의 핵심 기술로 부각되고 있는 inkjet priting technology는 널리 태양전지뿐만 아니라 thin film process, lithography와 같은 반도체 공정 기술에 활용 할 수 있기 때문에 반도체 제조장비에도 사용되고 있으며, 현재 thermal inkjet 방식을 사용하고 있다. Inkjet printing technology는 전기 에너지를 잉크를 배출하기 위해 열에너지로 변환하는 thermal inkjet 방식을 사용하고 있는데, 이러한 thermal inkjet 방식은 기본적으로 전기저항이 필요하지만 electrical resistor layer는 잉크를 높은 온도에서 순간적으로 가열하기 때문에 부식이나 산화 등의 문제가 발생할 수 있어 이에 대한 보호층을 필요로 한다. 하지만, 고해상도, 고속 잉크젯 프린터, 대형 인쇄 등을 요구되고 있어 저 전력 중심의 잉크젯 프린터의 열효율을 방해하는 보호층 제거에 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 본 연구는 magnetron-sputtering을 사용하여 기존의 CrAlN 박막에 Si를 합성하여 anti-oxidation, corrosion resistance 그리고 low temperature coefficient of resistance 값을 갖는 multi-functional heater resistor layer로써 CrAlSiN 박막의 Si 함량에 따른 효과에 초점을 두었다. 본 실험은 CrAlN 박막에 Si 함량을 4~11 at%까지 첨가시켜 함량의 변화에 따른 특성변화를 확인하였다. 함량이 증가할수록 amorphous silicon nitride phase의 영향으로 박막의 roughness는 감소하였으며 XRD 분석결과 (111) peak의 Intensity가 감소함을 확인하였으며 SEM 관찰시 모든 박막이 columnar structure를 나타내었으며 Si함량이 증가할수록 입자가 치밀해짐을 보여주었다.Si함량이 증가할수록 CrAlN 박막에 비하여 면저항은 증가하였으며 TCR 측정결과 Si함량이 6.5 at%일 때 가장 안정한 TCR값을 나타내었다. Multi-functional heater resistor layer 역할을 하기 위해서, CrAlSiN 박막의 원소 분포, 표면 거칠기, 미세조직, 전기적 특성 등을 조사하였다. CrAlN 박막의 Si의 첨가는 크게 XRD 분석결과 주상 성장을 억제 할 수 있으며 SEM 분석을 통하여 Si 함량이 증가할수록 Si3N4 형성이 감소하며 입자크기가 작아짐을 확인하였다. 면저항의 경우 Si 함량이 증가함에 따라 높은 면저항을 나타내었으며 Si함량이 6.5 at%일 때 가장 낮은 TCR 값인 3120.53 ppm/K값을 보였다. 이 값은 상용되고 있는 heater resistor보다 높지만, CrAlSiN 박막이 더 우수한 기계적 특성을 가지고 있기 때문에 hybrid heater resistor로 적용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

During the hydrogenation of rapeseed oil, reaction kinetics and physicochemical characteristics with catalysts (UP9900, DM3, Nysosel 222) were determined. Hydrogenation reaction rates for the UP 9900, Nysel DM3 and Nysosel 222 were $1.6{\pm}0.1\;({\times}10^{-2}),\;1.2{\pm}0.1\;(10^{-2}),\;1.2{\pm}0.1\;(10^{-2})$, respectively. The selectivities for the linoleic acid and oleic acid were determined to be $0.9{\sim}1.5\;and\;39{\sim}44$ at 20 min. From these results, the use of catalysts was shown to be non-selective. Trans isomer content in Nysosel 222 was 32% when the reduction rate of iodine value was 38%, that in Nysel DM3 was 28% at the reduction rate of 45%. UP9900 showed no influence on the trans isomer content. Below the melting point of $35^{\circ}C$, oleic acid and trans isomer acid were increased. On the other side, over the melting point of $35^{\circ}C$, oleic acid was decreased and trans isomer acid was constant. And this tendency was also appeared at the reduction rate of iodine value of 38%.

The physical characteristics changes of carrots during drying were studied to minimize the quality degradation by applying improved drying process and pretreatment method. Physico-chemical properties of the product were analyzed, and then, drying mechanisms were explained by diffusion coefficients and drying models. In hot air drying process, the drying and rehydration efficiencies were high at low relative humidity and high temperature. Browning degree and specific volume also showed similar trend to drying efficiency. Diffusion coefficient, which describes moisture transfer, was also high at low relative humidity and at high temperature. It was verified using. Arrhenius equation that drying process was influenced by temperature. It was also observed during experiment that temperature changes were more effective in drying than relative humidity changes. Quadratic model was the most fittable in explaining the process. As a result of analyzing the experimental data with respect to the drying time, the contents of carotene and moisture could be modeled as a polynomial. As the air velocity increased, drying performance and rehydration efficiency increased.

The quality of salted and semi-dried mackerel prepared by cold osmotic dehydration using a high osmotic pressure resin during storage at $5{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ was evaluated. The moisture contents in salted and semi-dried mackerel decreased in. range of 4 during storage. The brown pigment formation content and peroxide value of salted and semi-dried mackerel prepared by osmotic dehydration were more lower than those of salted and semi-dried mackerel prepared by traditional drying methods such as sun-drying, hot-air drying and cold air drying. The viable cell count and histamine contents of cold osmotic dried products were much lower and revealed a tendency to increase during storage, but even these values after storage of 15 days showed that the salted and semi-dried mackerel was safety in respect of food sanitation. The ratio of saline soluble nitrogen to total nitrogen in cold osmotic dried products were higher than that of traditional dried products during storage. Judging from the results of chemical and sensory evaluation, shelf-life of salted and semi-dried mackerel by cold osmotic drying were more longer than that of salted and semi-dried mackerel prepared by traditional drying.

Several single or mixed water-miscible organic solvent systems were investigated to develop the most effective solvent system for enzymatic synthesis of N-benzoylaspartame(BzAPM). The BzAPM was prepared by immobilized thermolysin with using N-benzoyl-L-aspartic acid(Bz-Asp) and L-phenylalanine methyl ester(PheOMe). The solubilities of BzAPM and L-phenylalanine were highest in 4.5% methanol(1.89 and 1.79%, respectively) among the solvents system investigated while a mixed solvent system of 25% dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO) and 20% polyethylene glycol(PEG) 200 showed relatively high values. The synthetic activity of BzAPM as well as initial reaction rate were found to be high in 45% methanol, 45% DMSO and a mixed solvent of 25% DMSO and 20% PEM 200. The imobilized thermolysin was most stable in 25% DMSO and 20% PEG 200 during storage at $40^{\circ}C$ for 42 days. PheOMe in the same solvent system was also found fairly stable against non-enzymatic decomposition at $40^{\circ}C$. Based on the synthetic efficiency and stability, the solvent system containing 25% DMSO and 20% PEG 200 was selected to be appropriate for the enzymatic synthesis of BzAPM.
