Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of supplementing a corn-soybean meal-based diet with an enzyme complex containing amylase, protease and xylanase on the performance, intestinal health, apparent ileal digestibility of amino acids and nutrient digestibility of weaned pigs. In Exp. 1, 108 piglets weaned at 28 d of age were fed one of three diets containing 0 (control), 100, or 150 ppm enzyme complex for 4 wks, based on a two-phase feeding program namely 1 to 7 d (phase 1) and 8 to 28 d (phase 2). At the end of the experiment, six pigs from the control group and the group supplemented with 150 ppm enzyme complex were chosen to collect digesta samples from intestine to measure viscosity and pH in the stomach, ileum, and cecum, as well as volatile fatty acid concentrations and composition of the microflora in the cecum and colon. There were linear increases (p<0.01) in weight gain, gain: feed ratio and digestibility of gross energy with the increasing dose rate of enzyme supplementation during the whole experiment. Supplementation with enzyme complex increased the digesta viscosity in the stomach (p<0.05) and significantly increased (p<0.01) the concentrations of acetic, propionic and butyric acid in the cecum and colon. Enzyme supplementation also significantly increased the population of Lactobacilli (p<0.01) in the cecum and decreased the population of E. coli (p<0.05) in the colon. In Exp. 2, six crossbred barrows (initial body weight: $18.26{\pm}1.21$ kg), fitted with a simple T-cannula at the distal ileum, were assigned to three dietary treatments according to a replicated $3{\times}3$ Latin Square design. The experimental diets were the same as the diets used in phase 2 in Exp. 1. Apparent ileal digestibility of isoleucine (p<0.01), valine (p<0.05) and aspartic acid (p<0.05) linearly increased with the increasing dose rate of enzyme supplementation. In conclusion, supplementation of the diet with an enzyme complex containing amylase, protease and xylanase improved piglet performance. This is likely a result of improvement in nutrient digestibility, volatile fatty acid concentrations and bacteria ratio in the large intestine.

본 연구진은 사출성형 공정에서 적용되는 미지 시료 및 고점도의 복합소재 점도를 추정하기 위한 새로운 방법을 제시한 바 있다. 본 논문에서는 사출성형 금형 캐비티 내압을 측정하는 장치를 개발하였다. 이는 사출성형 공정 중의 금형 내를 흐르는 용융체의 압력을 실시간으로 측정하고, 이를 CAE 해석 결과로부터 모사된 압력과 비교함으로써 CAE D/B내의 점도 데이터의 정확성을 검증할 수 있게 한다. 본 연구에서 사용한 재료는 PP(Polypropylene), PP/LGF30%(Polypropylene과 long glass fiber 50% composite), PA66/LGF50%(Polyamide 6,6와 long glass fiber 50% composite) 이다. 여기서 PP와 PP장섬유복합재료는 이미 점도 데이터가 구축되어 있으나, PA66장섬유복합재료는 새롭게 개발한 재료로써 기존의 점도 데이터가 없기에 본 시스템을 이용해서 새로운 점도 곡선을 추정하였다. 그리고, 일반 점도 측정장치로 구한 점도 곡선과도 비교하였다. 한편, 이미 점도 데이터를 갖고 있는 경우인 PP는 신뢰성을 확인할 수 있었으나, PP/LGF50%의 경우는 높은 점도와 구조의 복잡성으로 인해 기존 점도 데이터의 개선이 필요하였다.

In this study, the relationship between morphology and viscosity of the main culture broth of Cephalosporium acremonium M25 was investigated in a 2.5 L bioreactor. The differentiation of C. acremonium M25 showed a complex pattern during the main culture. The morphological changes of C. acremonium M25 were related to the rheological properties of the culture broth and it was well agreed with the power law model. As a result of rheology study, it was found that rheological properties of the main culture broths of C. acremonium M25 in bioreactor were closely related to morphological changes. Also, fractal dimension fairly predicted morphological and rheological changes in the main culture broth.

The TEA complex polymeric sol was prepared by the alkoxide sol-gel method. The purpsoe of this experiment was to vefity the particle shape in the sol from the investigation of the rheological properties. TEA retarded hydrolysis rate by the reaction with alkoxide enough to make a stable transparent sol in the wide range of composition. From the results of the viscosity change with time, the optimum mole ratio for spinning was selected as 0.5 mole of TEA, 3 mole of H2O and the optimum viscosity was 104 cPs. The rheological behavior of the sol showed that the particle shape in the sol was linear, which was adequate for fiber drawing.

This study investigated the effects of galacomannans (guar gum, tara gum, and locust bean gum) on the rheological properties of buckwheat starch pastes under steady and dynamic shear conditions. The power law and Casson models were applied to describe the flow behavior of the buckwheat starch and galactomannan mixtures. The values of the apparent viscosity (${\eta}_{a,100}$), consistency index (K), and yield stress (${\sigma}_{oc}$) for buckwheat starch-galactomannan mixtures were significantly greater than those for the control, indicating that there was a high synergism of the starch with galactomannans. The magnitudes of storage modulus (G') and loss modulus (G") for the starch-galactomannan mixtures increased with increasing frequency (${\omega}$). The dynamic moduli (G', G"), and complex viscosity (${\eta}^*$) for the buckwheat starch-galactomannan mixtures were significantly higher than those for the control.

Surface of crystalline silica was sequentially reacted with silane(A 187), liquid $rubber(CTBN{\times}8)$, and vinyl monomer(GMA) in existence of TEA(triethylamine) or BPO(benzoyl peroxide). It was mixed with epoxy resin at a ratio $0{\times}60%$ (vol. % ) of total component. For mixtures, viscous properties were investigated experimentally. 1) Coating ratio depended on pH of mixture and quantity of catalyst. 2) Treated silica represented lower viscosity than untreated. 3) Thixotropic index represented best at silica_content $15{\sim}23%$ and showed more large deviation over $120^{\circ}C$. 4) Relative viscosity followed kernel's at $0{\times}10%$ of silica content and get out of Mooney's at more than 15%.

The Lagrangian grid-free numerical method, the discrete vortex method, was applied to solve the Navier-Stokes euqations. This method avoids the introduction of numerical viscosity swamping the real physical viscosity at high Reynolds number, unlike Eulerian method, e.g. finite difference and element methods. The boundary integral equation method for the potential flow solution was included to make the discrete vortex method more feasible for complex geometries. The fast adaptive multipole expansion method was incorporated to reduce the computational time from $O(N^2)$ to O(N) for the computations of vortex-vortex interactions. The test problems were air flow around one circular cylinder and two circular cylinders in tandem with various gaps. The numerical results were in excellent gareement with the experimental and other computational results. The applicabilty of the method was discussed with the indoor and the outdoor air pollution problems, especially the contaminant transport in the recirculation regions.

알루미나 분말/(알루미나+결합체+가소제)의 비(X)와 결합체/(결합체+가소제)의 비(Y)를 각각 변화시켜 제조한 알루미나 그린 테이프의 complex modulus를 Micro Fourier Rheometer를 이용하여 측정하였다. X와 Y의 증가에 따라 Transfer function(TF) magnitude는 증가하고 Transfer function(TF) phase는 감소하는 경향을 보였으며 이로부터 X비와 Y비의 증가가 테이프의 탄성을 증가시켜는 요인임을 알 수 있었다. 온도가 증가함에 따라 알루미나 테이프의 TF magnitude는 작아지고 TF phase는 커지는 것으로부터 테이프의 점성이 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 특히 Y비에 따른 complex modulus의 변화는 유리전이온도와 관련이 있으며 변화값은 측정 조성 범위 내에서 X비에 의한 변화값보다 큼을 볼 수 있었다. complex modulus 측정을 통하여 알루미나 테이프의 성형이 가능하기 위해서는 TF phase 값이 17$^{\circ}$이상이어야 함을 유추할 수 있었다.

A variety of natural polymers have been used as tissue engineering scaffolds, drug delivery system, and cosmetic materials due to their higher biocompatibility and water uptake. As a major component of extracellular matrix, hyaluronic acid consisting of D-glucuronic acid and N-acetylglucosamine has been popularly used as a hydrogel material. Even though it has good properties to be used in the tissue engineering and cosmetic industry, its higher viscosity has limited a potential use in a variety of applications; only low content should be applied in preparing above products. In the present study, we investigated the effect of electron beam irradiation on the properties of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid paste containing low contents of water changed to solution after electron beam irradiation ranging from 1 to 10 kGy, which didn't exhibit any alteration of surface properties and morphological change after freeze-drying. However, its viscosity was significantly decreased as absorbed dose increased, which was approximately one by hundred in comparison with the viscosity of original hyaluronic acid solution with same concentration. In addition, it can still interact with positive charged chitosan generating polyelectrolyte complex. Therefore, only viscosity was decreased after electron beam irradiation, whereas other properties of hyaluronic acid maintained. Consequently, these hyaluronic acids with lower viscosities can be used in a variety of applications in tissue engineering, drug delivery, and cosmetic industry.

수용액에서 Sodium hyaluronate(NaHA)와 Alkanediyl-bis(dimethylalkylammonium bromide) 계면활성제의 회합성질에 관한 연구를 계면활성제의 화학적 구조와 관련하여 조사하였다. 계면장력을 측정한 결과 특정 농도에서 최소값(C_min)을 나타내는 포물선 모양의 그래프를 보여주었다. 이 최소 농도 이상에서 계면장력의 증가는 공기와 물의 접촉면에서 NaHA사슬과 이합체 계면활성제들로 이루어진 집합체의 형성과 관계있다고 생각된다. NaHA와 계면활성제의 착물결합체에서 하나의 NaHA 음전하에 대한 계면활성제의 양전하 비율을 보면 약간 양전하가 우세하나, 전체적으로 전하의 균형은 크게 벗어나지 않았다. NaHA/이합체 계면활성제의 착물결합체에서 계면활성제 농도와 점성도의 관계가 비 선형성을 나타내는 것은 계면활성제의 화학적 구조와 관계되기 때문이다. 이 비 선형성은 착물체의 성장에 따른 크기 증가와 C_min 농도 이상에서의 수축 현상과 밀접하게 관련된다고 볼 수 있다.
