Purpose : The keeping warm and avoidance of cold are one of important Korean traditional postpartum care, but sometimes overwarm for example over-bundling, an overheated room or a steam bath cause heavy sweats. I observed and treated three　patients complained of heavy sweats, chills, fatigue, malaise, cold sensation and pain caused by keeping overwarm for postpartum care. Although the symptoms have aggravated, they have maintained keeping overwarm because of a belief of Korean traditional postpartum care. The purpose of these cases studies are to report postpartum hyperhidrosis caused by keeping overwarm and to make a point of keeping the appropriate room temperature and humidity during puerperium. Methods : I observed and treated three patients complained of heavy sweats, chills, fatigue, malaise, cold sensation and pain caused by keeping overwarm for postpartum care. I found that a cause of the symptoms was hyperhidrosis by keeping overwarm, and administered herbal medicine and was to keep the appropriate room temperature. Results : After medication of Herbal medicine(補中益氣湯加味方) and keeping the appropriate room temperature, they were improved. Conclusion : Postpartum care is not to keep overwarm but to keep the appropriate room temperature and humidity.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the changes of egg qualify during storage in order to find out the proper storage condition. Fresh eggs were stored at cold condition ($5^{\circ}C$, relative humidity ; RH :$65\pm$3%) and room condition($25^{\circ}C$, RH :$40\pm$3%) during 10 weeks and examined microbiological quality, weight loss and interior quality periodically. Weight loss was indicated 17.93% at room condition and 2.56% at cold condition. The pH of egg white and yolk were increased from 7.94 to 9.03(average 13.72%) and from 6.16 to 6.57(average 6.65%) at cold condition and from 7.94 to 9.54(average 20.15%) and from 6.16 to 6.90(average 12.01%) at room condition respectively. But pH of egg white and yolk did not showed significant difference between before molting and after molting. Haugh unit was decreased from 82.0 to <30 at room condition after 3 weeks. The most frequent bacteria isolated were E coli, Staphylococcus leutus, S saprophyticus, Citrobacter freundii, Klebsiella oxytoca, Providencia rettgeri, and Pontoea spp. It was recommended that shelf life of unrefrigerated eggs would not be longer than 21 days at room temperature in summer.

Postharvest diseases developed on harvested products result in a great economic loss. The objective of this research was to develop a chemical treatment to control major postharvest pathogens including Botrytis cinerea and Penicillium expansum in the cold storage room. Acetic acid ($2.4mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$, $4.8mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$) inhibits spore germination and mycelial growth of B. cinerea and P. expansum on PDA at room temperature ($25^{\circ}C$) and low temperature ($2^{\circ}C$). Fumigation of cold storage room with $SO_2$ ($5g{\cdot}m^{-3}$) gas or gaseous acetic acid ($4.8g{\cdot}m^{-3}$) prior to operation greatly reduced population of fungi in the cold storage room.

A numerical study has been performed on flow characteristics in a domestic refrigerator whose size is $540mm{\times}1,530mm{\times}680mm$, considering existence of a fan and evaporator. The flow field has been simulated with the low Reynolds number $k-\bar{\varepsilon}$ turbulent model and SIMPLE algorithm based on the finite volume method. The region of fan which makes driving force for cold air distribution was modeled as a region in which momentum sources are generated uniformly. The concept of the distributed pressure resistance was applied to describe the momentum loss from evaporator. The result showed that the rate of cold air distribution into freezing room and cold storage room was almost 7 : 3.

Low temperature storage method is to increase the value of agricultural products by reducing quality loss and regulate consignment time by controlling respiration rates of agricultural products. Respiration rate of agricultural products depends on several factors such as temperature, moisture, gas composition and a microbe inside the storage room. Temperature is the most important factor among these, which affects respiration rate and causes low or high temperature damage. Fuzzy logic was used to control the temperature of a storage room ,which uses information of uncertain facts and mathematical model for room temperature control . Room temperature was controlled better by using fuzzy logic control method rather than on-off control method. Refrigerant flow rates and temperature deviations were measured for on-off system using TEV(temperature expansion valve) and for fuzzy system using EEV(Electrical Expansion Valve) . Temperature of the Storage room was lowered faster by using fuzzy system than on -off system. Temperature deviation was -0.6~+0.9$^{\circ}C$ for on-off system and $\pm$0.2$^{\circ}C$ for fuzzy system developed. Temperature deviation and variation of temperature deviation were used as inout parameters for fuzzy system. The most suitable input and output value were found by experiment. Cooling rate of the storage room decreased while temperature deviation increased for the sampling time of 20 sec.

In this study, a cold aisle containment system was proposed among various strategies to reduce the energy waste by recirculation air from the hot aisle. To verify the effectiveness of the cold aisle containment system, a test bed which is similar to an actually existing server room was set up in the Internet Data Center(IDC) building. Comparative experiments, conventional open type cooling system and cold aisle containment system were carried out under actual conditions. The result revealed that the range of inlet temperature of the server system was $20{\sim}25^{\circ}C$ in an existing cooling system and the range of inlet temperature dropped below $20^{\circ}C$ by the cold aisle containment system. After all, cold aisle containment system was proved to be the solution for energy saving cooling system.

Fuji and Jonathan apples were stored at cold room and at CA storage conditions of $3%O_2-2%CO_2$ for Jonathan and $4%O_2-3%CO_2$ for Fuji for 8 months, and then tranferred to air at $20^{\circ}C$, 70%RH to compare the some factors related to texture of the apples stored at different storage conditions during exposure at $20^{\circ}C$. Total pectin content and firmness of the apples reduced, considerably with concomitant increases of water-soluble pectin content and polygalacturonase activity during exposure at $20^{\circ}C$ after storage. And the changes were much more serious in the first 5 days than any other period and in the apples stored at cold room, especially in Jonathan than the apples stored at CA storage conditions. From the sensory test the apples stored at cold room maintained acceptable quality for 5days after removal from storage condition. The acceptability from the test was lenghtened for more than 5 days in Jonathan and more than 10 days for Fuji stored at CA storage conditions. when compared with those of the apples stored at cold room.

Germination of soybean and growth of its sprouts should be affected by storage condition and period of seeds. The experiment was conducted to examine the effects of period stored at cold room and storage conditions on their growth and morphological characters. The seeds, cv. Pungsannamulkong, were stored at $3^{\circ}C$ for 1 or 2 years, and by the three different storage methods of indoor, cold room, or transfer of indoor to cold room. Compared to the seeds stored for 2 years, one-year seeds had higher rate in hypocotyl of longer than 7 cm, root and hypocotyl lengths, and more hypocotyl fresh weight although there was not significant difference in total fresh weight. In the storage method experiment, one-year seeds stored at cold room and by transfer of indoor to cold room showed better growth, more lateral roots and fresh weights, although only two-year seeds stored at cold room did the same response, indicating that growth of soybean was affected by period and method of seed storage.

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of Butylated Hydroxy Anisole (BHA), Butylated Hydroxy Toluene (BHT), Pentoxifylline (PTX), Theophylline (TPY) and Theobromine (TBR) on cold protection ability of Murrah buffalo semen at room ($22-25^{\circ}C$) and refrigerated temperature ($4-7^{\circ}C$). Each semen sample was divided into six parts of equal volume and sperm concentration; the first was kept as a control and the remaining five were treated with BHA, BHT, PTX, TPY or TBR. Sperm motility, abnormal spermatozoa, live-dead count, hypo-osmotic swelling and acrosomal integrity were studied at room and refrigerated temperature for various incubation periods viz.; 0, 4, 8, 12 and 24 h at room and 0, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 and 72 h at refrigerated temperature. Significant improvement in sperm motility, live-dead count, hypo-osmotic swelling and acrosomal integrity were observed in BHT, PTX and TPY fortified extender at room and refrigerated temperature for various incubation periods. From the present study it could be concluded that cold protection ability of buffalo semen can be improved through the addition of BHT followed by PTX and TPY.

The purpose of this research lays on examining the adequacy of the hybrid ventilation system. The hybrid ventilation system must satisfy the next to be used. Firstly, the cold-draft phenomenon must not exist in the occupied zone. Secondly, the condensation must not happen on the surfaces of vents. Thirdly, the flow of make-up air must be happened in an each space by exhausted air of a rest room and living room. We used an examination and CFD method to verify these. Trough the examination of air-vents, We confirmed that the cold-draft to be induced by make-up air does not happen and could not find the condensation in the limits of outdoor temperature higher than 265K. Through CFD simulation, We confirmed that the rapid temperature change existed only within 0.5m the occupied zone and the flow of air was happened in an each space by only exhausted air in the rest room and living room. Consequently, the hybrid system is possible method to an apartment house.
