As adhesive systems were improved, a great variety of bracket bases were available. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the adhesive porperties of 3 types of direct-bonding brackets by testing the tensile stremgth. 60 noncarious premolars extracted for orthodontic treatment were used. The tensile strength was tested by Tensilon/UTM-1-10000C after 24 hours from bonding. Following results were obtained; There was no difference between the tensile strength of foil-mesh base bracket and photoetched base bracket statisstically. However, the accurate test result of plastic bracket could not be obtained due to the distortion of bracket wing during testing. Of the failure in fail-mesh base bracket and photo-etched base bracket, the combination type of failure, where part of the adhesive remained on the tooth and part on the bracket was the most common type (50%, 50%), The second type of failure occured at the bracket-adhesive interface (30%, 35%) and the last type of failure occured at the adhesive-tooth interface (20%, 15%).

Even though the fire performance-based design concept has been introduced for various structures and buildings, which have their own specific fire performance level, the uncertainties of input parameters always exist and, then, could reduce significantly the reliability of the fire modeling. Sensitivity analysis was performed with three limited input parameters, HRRPUA, type of combustible materials, and mesh size, which are significantly important for fire modeling. The output variables are limited to the maximum HRR, the time reaching the reference temperature($60^{\circ}C$), and that to reach limited visible distance(5 m). In addition, correlation coefficient analysis was attempted to analyze qualitatively and quantitatively the degree of relation between input and output variables above. Finally, the relationship among the three variables is also analyzed by the principal component analysis (PCA) to systematically analyze the input data bias. Sensitivity analysis showed that the type of combustible materials is more sensitive to maximum HRR than the ignition source and mesh size. However, the heat release parameter of the ignition source(HRR) is shown to be much more sensitive than the combustible material types and mesh size to both time to reach the reference temperature and that to reach the critical visible distance. Since the derived results can not exclude the possibility that there is a dependency on the fire model applied in this study, it is necessary to generalize and standardize the results of this study for the fire models such as various buildings and structures.

The purposes of this research were to identify fish species using DNA barcodes or partial sequences of cytochrome b (Cytb) and to assess the diversity of fish in the Mae Tam reservoir, Phayao province, Thailand. Fish samples were collected 3 times, during the winter, summer, and rainy seasons, from 2 sampling sites using gillnets with 3 mesh sizes (30, 50, and 70 mm). A total of 34 representative samples were classified into 12 species, 7 families and 6 orders by morphological- and DNA barcoding-based identifications. However, one cichlid species, Cichlasoma trimaculatum, could only be identified using DNA barcoding. Family Cyprinidae had the greatest diversity, 50.00%. The diversity, richness and evenness indices ranged from 0.43-0.65, 0.64-1.46, and 0.27-0.40, respectively, indicating that fish diversity at both sampling sites was relatively low. A comparison of the catch per unit effort (CPUE) with 3 different mesh sizes found that the 50 mm mesh size was the best (474.80 ± 171.56 g/100 m²/night), followed by the 70 mm (417.41 ± 176.24 g/100 m²/night) and 30 mm mesh sizes (327.88 ± 115.60 g/100 m²/night). These results indicate that DNA barcoding is a powerful tool for species identification. Our data can be used for planning the sustainable management of fisheries resources in the Mae Tam reservoir.

This study was carried out to investigate the characteristics of the dependent variables depending on the condition changes of independent variable of the operation and the material during the production of collets added with rice and dried shrimp by using single extruder to utilize as basic data for the manufacture of extrusion collets. A total of 7 independent variables were set up as a raw, 20, 40 and 60 mesh for the powder particle size of rice; 12, 14, 16 and 18% for the moisture content of rice; 2, 4, 6 and 8% for the addition amount of dried shrimp; 90, 95, 100 and $110^{\circ}C$ for the barrel temperature; 210, 280 and 340 rpm for the screw speed; 4, 6, 8 and 10 mm for the discharge port diameter; 30, 40, 50 and 60 kg/h for the input amount of the mixed material. The characteristics of the dependent variables including puffing ratio, moisture content, lightness, uniformity, productivity of collets was to be studied by changing the conditions of the independent variables. As a results of this study, 20 mesh of powder particle size of rice, 14% of moisture content of rice, 4% of addition amount of dried shrimp, $100^{\circ}C$ of barrel temperature, 280 rpm of screw speed, 6 mm of discharge port diameter and 50 kg/h of input amount of mixed material were found to be the most preferable over other independent variables for the production of extrusion collets. In conclusion, it is necessary to set the independent variable in order to produce the high quality collets added with the rice as the main raw material and dried shrimp as the sub-materials.

Effect of drying methods, such as natural solar drying, hot air drying$(at\;60^{\circ}C\;and\;105^{\circ}C)$, vacuum drying and freeze drying methods, on the quality of laver were investigated to develop optimum processing conditions for preparation of laver powder. Appreciable amount of laver pigments such as chlorophyll, carotenoid and phycobilin were lost during washing and drying process. Their loss was affected significantly by the method of drying. Among the methods tested, high temperature air drying was the worst in retaining laver pigment, while freeze drying was the best. Loss of vitamin C which was in the range of 75-99% was also affected by the method of drying. Isotherms for laver powder shelved sigmoidal shape and monomolecular layer moisture content of both laver powder(Porphyra dentata and Porphyra tenera) determined by the BET equation was 6.30%(dry basis). Laver powders prepared with Porphyra dentata and classified with 50-, 80- and 100- mesh sieves showed monomodal size distribution with the high frequency at 110-120, 100-110 and $80\;{\mu}m$, respectively, which indicated that size or laver powder was homogeneous.

Microwave energy (2450 MHz) was applied to extract health-effective component (HEC) from grape seed. Three different solvents approved for grape seed extract such as water, ethanol and acetone, were confirmed in their microwave-heating properties and by which extraction efficiencies were determined. Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) was performed under different parameters; microwave power : (0, 50, 100 and 150), time : (1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 min), the sample to solvent ratio : (1:20, 1:10, 1:5 and 1:2.5), and particle size(whole, 20, 40 and 60 mesh) and the subsequent extracts were used for determining their physicochemical properties, such as total yield : (TY), total phenolics : (TP), catechin content : (CC), electron donating ability : (EDA), and browning color. The heating properties of solvent demonstrated the optimal ranges of microwave and time as 100 W and 2 to 6 min. The TY and HFC content were higher with increasing powers in water and ethanol solvent, while HFC content were lower in acetone at over 100 W. The longer of extraction time up to 5 min, the higher extraction efficiency. Based upon the overall MAE efficiency and solvent recovery, it was found optimal to use 10 times volume of ethanol for 10 mesh of seed particle at 100 W.

The study was carried out to set up alcohol fermentation condition for uncooked brown rice. Response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to optimize and monitor of the alcohol fermentation condition with uncooked brown rice. The primary variables were conducted the reaction surface regression analysis for the particle size of brown rice (20 40 60 mesh) the enzyme content (0.1,0.3,0.5%) and the agitating rate (0,100,200 rpm). Their optimization was 35~42 mesh for the size of particle and 0.32~0.43% for enzyme content by SAS (Statistical Analysis System). The coefficient of determination ($R^2$) in ingredients was admitted at the significant level of 5~10% in all ingredients except for a reducing sugar. Predicted values at optimum alcohol fermentation condition agreed with experimental values. During the fermentation, pH was decreased from 6.25 to 4.34, and total acidity was increased from 0.15 to 0.2. The amino acidity was decreased from 1.88 to 0.92, reducing sugar and total sugar contents were decreased 213 mg% and 1,077 mg%, respectively. Alcohol content was increased to 10% after 48 hr fermentation.

Precooked powder of redbean porridge (RP) was prepared by the series of process extrusion, drying, milling and blending with a mixture of whole redbean flour and corn starch and others. The optimum process and quality of products for RP were investigated. After extrusion under the moisture content 24 to 26%, twin screw speed 350 rpm, extrusion temperature 150 to $155^{\circ}C$ and feed rate 60 kg/hr, the product had a higher quality with its natural redbean flavor/color. During the extrusion process, extrusion temperature and specific mechanical energy increased from 150 to $198^{\circ}C$ and from 134 to 144 kwh/ton respectively, as the amount of addition water decreased from 6 to 2 kg/hr. By the hot air drying of redbean extrudate (RE). it could be dried below to 4% moisture content, of which level considered as an optimal moisture content for anti-caking of the powdered product, at $80^{\circ}C$ for 4hrs and at $100^{\circ}C$ for 1.5 hrs respectively. In the sieve analysis of extrudate powder, when the product milled through a mesh size of 0.5 mm or 1.0 mm, about 80% or 65% of the feed was passed a 65 mesh screen respectively. Moisture absorption of final blended products was formed a cake under 100% of relative humidity after 13 hrs of storage. As the amount of RE powder reduced, the flavor score of products decreased by sensory evaluation of products prepared by the different ratio of RE powder, corn starch and sugar.

The purpose of this study is to invent the preparation technique of the foam-floater used as a level gauge of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) tank under high pressure, which has not only closed pores but also has under 5 wt% changingrate in case of depositing 72 h in room-temperature LPG. In pressure-resistance and deposition experiment, the prepared foam-floaters with different sulfur (325 Mesh and 400 Mesh) and foaming agent (dinitrosopentamethylenetetramin; DPT and azodicarbonamide; AC) had a marginal difference in its weight changing-rate. However, the prepared floater with sulfur 400 Mesh and the foaming agent AC had smaller pores and higher closed pore-rate. Under $50kg_f/cm^3$ hydraulic pressure, the floater with medium thermal (MT) carbon showed a lower weight changing-rate than semi reinforcing furnace (SRF) carbon. Providing a post-treatment to the prepared floater, the hardness and the pressure-resistance of the inner pore-wall of floater were increased. Prepared floaters having a specific gravity below 0.30 were distorted and broken, and other floaters with a specific gravity above 0.35 were not useful as a floater because of the low buoyancy. Therefore, it was considered that the floaters with a specific gravity between 0.3~0.35 are the most useful as a floater under $50kg_f/cm^3$ pressure-resistance.

This study was performed to reduce unpleasant taste and flavor of $Gastrodia$ $elata$ Blume as well as to improve utilization as functional food materials using fermentation. The component, antioxidant activity, and taste test were compared between fresh and fermented $Gastrodia$ $elata$ Blume powder (FGP). FGP contained higher level of total fat, protein, mineral, and fiber than raw material. The pH of FGP was higher compared to raw $Gastrodia$ $elata$ Blume powder (RGP), and antioxidant activity was as high as vitamin C regardless material status (raw vs. fermented). This result indicated that its activity was not decreased by fermentation. Dispersiveness and solubility of $Gastrodia$ $elata$ Blume powder was the best in 60-70 mesh. For sensory evaluation, FGP or RGP was mixed with either orange juice or yoghurt. The results showed that overall preference, taste, flavor, texture, and color were better in fermented $Gastrodia$ $elata$ Blume drinks than in raw ones. It is plausible that unpleasant taste and flavor of $Gastrodia$ $elata$ Blume was declined by fermentation. Thus, fermentation can be easily applied to eliminate unpleasant smell in $Gastrodia$ $elata$ Blume, and FGP can be mixed with other beverages to produce healthy food and drinks.
