Purpose: Rotaviruses, noroviruses, astroviruses, and enteric adenoviruses cause acute gastroenteritis (AGE) in children. Some children with AGE have afebrile convulsions associated with viral gastroenteritis. The purpose of this study was to detect and genotype viruses from children with AGE or benign infantile seizures associated with mild gastroenteritis (BIS-MG). Methods: Between August 2004 and June 2005, 311 children with AGE were included. Four viral agents, including rotavirus, norovirus, astrovirus, and adenovirus, were analyzed from stool specimens of each patient using the latex agglutination method, enzyme immunoassay, and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. Genotyping of each virus was performed in 217 of the 311 children. Results: Among 217 children (male, 121; female, 96; mean age, 20.6${\pm}$15.4 months), rotavirus was detected in 109 (50.2%), norovirus in 28 (12.9%), adenovirus in 13 (6.0%), and astrovirus in 2 children (0.9%). Genotyping of rotavirus revealed positive results in 97 children; P[8]G3 in 36, P[4]G2 in 21, P[6]G4 in 10, P[4]G4 in 9, P[8]G9 in 6, P[8]G1 in 6, P[4]G3 in 4, P[4]G9 in 3, and P[6]G2 in 2. Genotyping of norovirus showed GII-4 in 27 of 28 children and GII-6 in 1 child. Sixteen children were diagnosed with BIS-MG. Rotavirus was detected in 13 of 16 children with BIS-MG, and norovirus in 2 children. Genotyping of rotavirus detected in children with BIS-MG revealed P[8]G3 in 6 children, P[4]G2 in 2 children, and P[4]G9 in 1 child. Conclusion: Analysis of viruses from stool specimens indicates that both rotavirus and norovirus are the main viruses related to BIS-MG in children.

Mineral nitrogen dynamics and net mineralization of nitrogen in oak(quercus accutissima) and pine(pinus rigida) forest soils were studied. Nitrogen mineralization was determined over 8-week period by incubation method at laboratory. Initial water content of incubating soils was adjusted by applying suction(30mmhg), and lossof water during incubation was recovered with deionized water using syringe at every 3 or 4days. Temperature of incubator was maintained with 35+0.3c during the incubation period. Content of organic matter, total nitrogen, nh4-n and no3-n in soils in oak stand were significantly highter than those in pine stand. soil ph was lower in pine stand than in oak stand. initial nh4-n and no3-n of soils used in incubation experiment were 12.6 ug/g and 6.5 ug/g for oak stand, and 5.3ug/g and 5.1 ug/g for pine stand, respectively. Production of nh4-n increased from the beginning st both stands, and showed a peak at 5th week in oak stand(28.5 ug/g) and 6th week in pine stand(16.7 ug/g), and then decreased. intial no3-n of soils in oak(6.5 ug/g) and pine(5.1ug/g)stands, increased to 36.2 ug/g in soils of oak stand(5th week) and 13.4 ug/g in pine stand(4th week), respectively. The low values of no3-n of the field soil in the growing season compared with those of incubating soils at both stands indicate that considerable amount of nh4-n and no3-n produced in soils of oak and pine stands during two-months incubation were 59.7 and 141.6mg/kg soil, and 51.9 and 41.2mg/kg soil, respectively.

A $Fe_3O_4$-graphite nanofiber composite for use as an anode material was successfully synthesized by calcining $Fe_3O_4$ and graphite nanofiber (GNF) together in a $N_2$ atmosphere. Using this $Fe_3O_4$-GNF composite in a lithium ion battery resulted in a higher lithium storage capacity than that obtained using $Fe_3O_4$-graphite ($Fe_3O_4$-G). The $Fe_3O_4$-GNF (10 wt%) electrode exhibited a higher lithium ion diffusion coefficient ($2.29{\times}10^{-9}cm^2s^{-1}$) than did the $Fe_3O_4$-G (10%) ($3.17{\times}10^{-10}cm^2s^{-1}$). At a current density of $100mA\;g^{-1}$, the $Fe_3O_4$-GNF (10 wt%) anode showed a higher reversible capacity ($1,031mAh\;g^{-1}$) than did the $Fe_3O_4$-G (10%) anode ($799mAh\;g^{-1}$). Moreover, the $Fe_3O_4GNF$ electrodes showed good cycling performance without the addition of a conductive material.

This study was done in order to monitor the quality properties of the granule using Bokbunja (Rubus coreanus Miquel) extracts. In order to prepare the granule depending on operational parameters such as content of Bokbunja extract ($X_1$, 0.4~1.2 g), sugar content ($X_2$, 6~10 g) and citric acid content ($X_3$, 0.1~0.3 g), a response surface methodology was applied to monitor the optimum recipes on the organoleptic properties and Hunter's color. The optimum recipe on the organoleptic color showed extract content of 0.96 g, sugar content of 7.05 g and citric acid content of 0.232 g. The optimum recipe on the organoleptic flavor showed extract content of 0.86 g, sugar content of 6.04 g and citric acid content of 0.215 g. The optimum recipe on the organoleptic taste showed extract content of 0.92 g, sugar content of 6.39 g and citric acid content of 0.251 g. The optimum recipe on the overall palatability showed extract content of 0.86 g, sugar content of 6.65 g and citric acid content of 0.272 g. The response surface of the Hunter's color b value was similar to the response of the overall palatability; therefore, the optimum conditions accepted by the consumers were 0.8 g Bokbunja extract content and 0.6 g sugar content in the Hunter's color a value of 6.0.

PP-g-AA-Am nonwoven fabric, which possess anionic exchangeable function, was prepared by chemical modification of carboxyl (-COOH) group of PP-g-AA nonwoven fabric to amine ($-NH_2$) group using diethylene triamine (DETA). Its adsorption characteristics for anionic nutrients including isotherm, kinetics and co-anions were studied by batch adsorption experiments. Adsorption equilibriums of $PO_4$-P on PP-g-AA-Am fabric were well described by the Langmuir isotherm model, and their adsorption energies were ranged 10.3 kJ/mol indicating an ion-exchange process as primary adsorption mechanism. The adsorption selectivity of PP-g-AA-Am nonwoven fabric for anions under competition with each other was in following order: $SO_4\;^{2-}$>$PO_4\;^{3-}$>$NO_3\;^-$>$NO_2\;^-$. Also, all results obtained from this study indicate that the $PO_4$-P removal capacity of PP-g-AA-Am nonwoven fabric was extremely superior to that of PA308 anion-exchange resin.

The Namul is one of the most popular and fundamental foods in the Korean meal. The taste of NAMUL depends mostly on the seasonings put on which the salt concentration is the prevailing element of them. The purpose of this study is to investigate the optimum salt concentration by sensory evaluation. The amount of each seasoning except salt was reviewed and used following many food preparation books published. Four different concentrations of salt were added to make different salt concentrations of Namuls. The results of the study are following: 1. By reviewing the related publishments, the amount of seasoning used in 300g of cooked Namul were 15.5g of welsh onion, 7.9g of garlic, 9.0g of sesame, and 11.5g of welsh onion, 7.0g of garlic, 6.0g of sesame oil, 3.3g of sesame, 13.9g of sugar, 10.6g of vinegar and 5.6g of red pepper were the main seasonings for 300g of raw Namul. 2. The optimum salt concentration of cooked Nanul was 1.412% and that of raw Namul was 1.368%. 3. The salt concentration had no effect on the texture within the salt concentrations ranges of 0.84% through 1.89% in Platycodon Namul, Radish Namul, Soybean sprouts Namul, Pumpkin Namul, Raw Radish Namlll, Raw Cucumber Namu1. 4. The more the amount of soy sauce increases, the more the palatability drops. Platycodon and Cucumber Namuls had preference of color when the amount of soy sauce added was 0.8%∼l.0% of the Namul. On the other hand, Spinach Namul had the preference up to 4.8% of the Namul. 5. The overall taste of cooked Namul was considered to be the test in the salt concentrations 1.223%∼l.513%, while that of raw Namul was considered to be best in 1.183%∼1.373% of salt concentration. 6. According to the sensory evaluation, there was a tendency that the overall taste of Namul is consistent with the preferance of saltiness in Namul.

Bovine pericardium fixed in glutaraldehyde solution (GA) has been one of the most popular surgical bioprosthesis, however, late calcific degeneration after implantation remains to be solved. To mitigate calcific degeneration, we posttreated the bovine pericardium with amino acids after GA fixation. Material and Method: 40 small pieces of bovine pericardia were fixed in 0.625% GA solution with 4 g/L $MgCl_26H_2O$as a control group (group 1). 40 pieces fixed in the same GA solution were posttreated with 2% chitosan solution (group 2) and the other 40 pieces posttreated with 8% glutamate (group 3). These were implanted into the belly of forty Fisher 344 rats subdermally and extracted at f month, 2 months, 3 months and 4 months after implantation. Result: With atomic absorption spectrophotometry we measured the deposited calcium amount and the results were as follows; 2.01 $\pm$0.13 mg/g in group 1, 2.34$\pm$0.73 mg/g in group 2, 2.49$\pm$0.15 mg/g in group 3 at 1 month after implantation, and 3.57$\pm$0.15 mg/g in group 1, 3.52$\pm$0.92 mg/g in group 2, 3.46$\pm$0.12 mg/g in group 3 at the second month. But 5.45$\pm$0.42 mg/g in group 1, 3.22 $\pm$1.31 mg/g in group 2 and 4.20$\pm$0.55 mg/g in group 3 at the 3rd month, which have statistical significance in group 2 (p<0.05). Finally at 4th month, 6.01$\pm$1.21 mg/g in group 1, 3.78$\pm$1.82 mg/g in group 2, 3.92$\pm$0.92 mg/g in group 3, which also have statistical significance (p < 0.05). Conclusion: This means posttreatment with 2% chitosan shows meaningful calcium mitigation effects after 3rd month on subcutaneously implanted bovine pericardium in the rat models but 8% glutamate shows mitigation effect after 4months in this experiment.

The water-based magnetic fluids were prepared with the synthesized ultra-fine magnetite, oleic acid and SDBS (sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate) as surfactants. The dispersion of water-based magnetic fluids was about 90 % when the added amounts of oleic acid and SDBS for magnetite(27 g) were more than $2.66{\times}10^{-3}$ mol and 10 g respectively. As the solid content increased from o. 05 g/cc to 0.4 g/cc, saturation magnetization of magnetic fluids at 5 kOe increased from 1.98 emu/g to 9.63 emu/g at $Fe^{2+}/Fe^{3+}=0.5$ and from 2.7 emu/g to 14.63 emu/g at $Fe^{2+}/Fe^{3+}=1.0$, and the its viscosity increased from 1.3 cp to 4.4 cp at $Fe^{2+}/Fe^{3+}=0.5$. pH region of oleic acid and SDBS stabilized water-based mag¬netic fluids was stable was in the range of pH 3.0 to pH 11.0. Stability of Water-based magnetic fluids can be obtained by observation of magnetic memory patterns on the VCR tape.
