The physiological properties of oak mistletoe slice extracts were investigated. The total polyphenol content of mistletoe extracts was 50.28-109-69 mg%, depending on extraction conditions. The polyphenol content increased as extract concentration rose (25 mL/g>50 mL/g>100 mL/g). The electron-donating ability (EDA) of the 60% (v/v) ethanolic extract was 68.88% at 25 mL/g; this was the highest value of all extracts tested (p<0.05). The SOD-like activities of water, 30%, 60%, and 90% (all v/v) ethanolic extracts were 15.24-30.84% lower than those of 1.0% and 0.1% (both w/v) L-ascorbate solutions. Tyrosinase inhibitory activities of all samples were 3.40-30.92% lower than those of 1.0% and 0.1% (both w/v) L-ascorbate solutions. Nitrite-scavenging abilities measured at pH 1.2 and pH 3.0 were highest when the water, and the 30%, 60% and 90% (all v/v) ethanolic extracts, were tested. The results expand our understanding of the physiological properties of oak mistletoe slice extracts.

Response surface methodology was used to investigate the quality of clarified mixed apple and carrot juices using ultrafitration. Apple and carrot juices were blended at the ratio of 1:3, 1:1, and 3:1. A three-variable, three-level central composite design was employed where the independent variables were the blend ratio, temperature and average transmembrane pressure (ATP). With increasing temperature and pressure, flux linearly increased regardless of blending ratio. Blend juice with 75% apple showed the highest soluble sugar and total sugar content in apple and carrot blend juices. Soluble solid contents were more affected by blending ratio than temperature and ATP. Total sugar contents were greatly affected by temperature; increasing temperature led to higher total sugar content up to $25^{\circ}C$. Higher carrot ratio led to higher vitamin C content. In general, higher acidity was achieved by higher apple content and acidity was increased with increasing temperature. Turbidity increased for all samples as APT increased, with the blending ratio of 1:1 (apple:carrot) showing the highest turbidity. Viscosity was greatly changed in the blending ratio of 3:1 (apple:carrot) juice. The polynomial models developed by RSM were satisfactory to describe the relationships between the studied factors and the responses. Analytical optimization gave $flux=0.216\;L/m^2.h$, soluble $solids=10.39^{\circ}Brix$, total sugar=71.32 mg/mL, vitamin C=315.18 mg%, acidity=7.78 mL, turbidity=0.017, and viscosity=1.44 cp, when using a $temperature=44.97^{\circ}C$, ATP=113.57 kPa, and blend ratio=28.50%.

This study prepared steamed eggs at various ratios of yolk and white in packaged liquid eggs to investigate the quality characteristics of steamed eggs through sensory tests and analyses of water content, color, pH and texture profiles. The results are expected to be used in developing steamed egg products and preparing processed egg dishes. Moisture contents of steamed egg samples increased with increased percentage of egg white. Hunter color values of L(lightness) also increased with increased percentage of egg white, while a(redness) and b(yellowness) decreased. Moreover, pH increased with increased percentage of egg white. Texture profile analyses in hardness, springiness, chewiness, gumminess, and cohesiveness decreased significantly with increased percentage of white, but adhesiveness was not significantly different. As the results of sensory test, yellowness increased with increased percentage of yolk. Roasted nutty smell was highest in the steamed egg sample prepared with 250g yolk and 200g white, and fishy smell increased and boiled egg smell decreased with increased percentage of white. Roasted nutty taste and fishy taste increased with increased percentage of white. In contrast with brittleness, hardness, springiness, and chewiness decreased with increased percentage of egg white. The acceptance score was high in the steamed egg samples prepared with a ratio of egg yolk 250/egg white 200 or egg yolk 150/egg white 300.

This study was conducted to determine the effects of a pre-planting fertilizers with various $NH_4{^+}:NO_3{^-}$ ratios in a coir dust:peatmoss:perlite (3.5:3.5:3.0, v/v/v) medium on the growth of hot pepper (Capsicum annuum L. cv. Nokkwang) plug seedling. Nitrogen levels were fixed to $300mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ and the $NH_4{^+}:NO_3{^-}$ ratios were varied to 0:100, 27:73, 50:50, 73:27, and 100:0. The 50-cell trays were filled with treatment media containing pre-plant fertilizers, then seeds were sown. After seeds were germinated, the trays were moved to greenhouse and seedlings were feed with 13-2-13 and 20-9-20 fertilizers, alternatively. The changes in pH and EC were measured every week and soil solution for nutrient concentrations were analyzed in week 0, 3, and 7. The measurements of seedling growths as well as analysis of tissue nutrient contents were also conducted in week 7. The varied $NH_4{^+}:NO_3{^-}$ ratios did not influence on the pHs of root media after incorporation of pre-planting fertilizers, but the ECs were heightened as proportion of $NH_4{^+}$ to $NO_3{^-}$ were elevated. During the raising of seedlings, the pHs rose over time in the treatments of 0:100 and 27:73 ($NH_4{^+}:NO_3{^-}$). The concentrations of all macro-elements in root media decreased gradually as seedlings grew in all treatments. The seedling growths 7 weeks after seed sowing were the highest in the treatments of 27:73 and 50:50 ($NH_4{^+}:NO_3{^-}$) and those became worse in the treatments of higher $NH_4{^+}$ ratios than 73%. In terms of inorganic element contents based on the dry weight of above ground tissue, the treatment of 0:100 showed the lowest content of Ca, Mg, Na, Cu, Mn, and Zn. Based on the results, it is desired that $NH_4{^+}$ ratio in pre-planting fertilization is maintained to be 50% or less for the raising of hot pepper plug seedlings.

Recently, the frequency of debris flow disaster has increased, which is one of the natural disasters during extremely heavy rainfall condition. This paper described the analysis method about deposition characteristics of debris flow using topographic characteristics of debris flow path. First, we observed topographic changes by differencing high- resolution LiDAR DEMs acquired before and after the occurrence of debris flow event. We assumed that deposition on outside of debris flow path was generated by movements due to the inertia of debris flows. Then, we analyzed three topographic characteristics of debris flow path: slope in flow direction, transition angle of flow path, and the net efficiency(L/H) of debris flows defined by the ratio of transport length(L) and elevation difference(H). We applied this method to Umyeon Mountain debris flow event in July 2011. The results showed that deposition on outside of debris flow path due to the inertia of debris flows was significantly related to the transition angle of debris flow path. Also, we figured out that there were more frequent such depositions in locations where the ratio of 'transition angle / (L/H)' is over 8.

The polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are mostly synthesized by the marine original microorganisms. In this study, the effect of concentrations of glucose, NaCl, and $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$ on both the growth and the production of lipid and Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) was investigated using Thraustochytrium aureum ATCC 34304. $Y_{Lipid/X}\;and\;Y_{DHA/Lipid}$ increased according to the increase of initial glucose concentration until 15 g/L of glucose. The maximum values of $Y_{Lipid/X}\;and\;Y_{DHA/Lipid}$ were 0.18 g/g and 0.41 g/g respectively at 15 g/L of glucose. The biomass yield, $Y_{x/s}$, however, was constant as 0.378 g/g regardless of initial glucose concentrations in the range of 5 g/L to 25 g/L. The specific growth rate of T. aureum increased also with initial glucose concentration from 5 g/L and 15 g/L. The maximum value was $0.79\;day^{-1}$ at 15 g/L of glucose, and the growth rate decreased to $0.57\;day^{-1}$ and remained constant according to initial sugar concentration in the range of higher than 15 g/L of glucose. The concentration of NaCl was changed from 0 g/L to 48 g/L, in order to study the characteristics of the growth and the production of lipid and DHA according to NaCl concentration. The growth and the production of lipid as well as DHA stopped all at 0 g/L of NaCl and the maximum values of all the three variables occurred at 24 g/L. The effect of $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$ concentration was also investigated not to find the growth and the production of lipid and DHA at 0 g/L. However, the growth and the Production with $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$ concentration increased to reach the maximum values at 18 g/L of $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$.

Effect of glucose feeding strategy and initial concentration of glucose on Serratia marcescens ATCC 27117 in high cell density fed-batch fermentation was investigated. The final biomasses in batch, constant feeding, constant and exponentially feeding strategy at glucose starvation condition in fed-batch were 1.40, 5,07, 6,93 and 7.60 g/L at 40, 41, 24 and 40 hrs, respectively. Productivities of biomass were 0.035, 0.124, 0.289 and 0.190 g/L$.$h, respectively. As a result, constant feeding strategy at starvation condition was 1.5∼8.6 times higher than other strategies. The relationship between dissolved oxygen and glucose feeding times was good identified in exponential feeding strategy and constant feeding strategy at starvation condition. And high cell density cultivation was obtained when minimal media was used.

Physicochemical and sensory characteristics of Curcuma Longa L cookies prepared with various levels of rice flour were investigated in this study. There were significant differences in the density of dough, and it had the highest value of 1.32 in the control group. The pH and moisture content of dough increased by addition of rice flour. Spread factor of cookies was significantly decreased by addition of rice flour. DPPH radical scavenging activity of the control group was 58.72%, whereas cookies with rice flour ranged from 59.26~61.41%. The L value of brightness was increased, but a and b value were decreased significantly by addition of rice flour. The hardness of the control group was higher than that of the cookies prepared with different levels of rice flour. Sensory evaluation scores in terms of appearance, flavor, taste, texture and overall preference for cookies showed that 50% and 75% substituted sample groups were higher than those of the other groups. The results of this study suggest that addition of 50~75% rice flour is the best substitution ratio for rice cookies added with Curcuma Longa L.

Light is one of the most important environmental factors controlling plant physiology. The human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (hGM-CSF) was produced from cell suspension cultures of transgenic tobacco under different light conditions (24 hr light, 18 hr light/dark cycle, dark). Under 24 hr light condition, cell growth was best and dry cell weight reached 14.4 g/L. Light did not influenced the secretion of total proteins. However, in the dark condition, the ratio of secreted total protein/dry cell weight was 1.5 fold higher than those of ethel conditions. Production of hGM-CSF was highest with 18 hr light condition and reached 496.5 ug/L. In addition, the content of hGM-CSf in secreted total proteins was 1.8 fold higher than that of 24 hr light condition, which is beneficial for the purificationof the protein.

The object of this research is to produce alkali activated fly ash-cement using low calcium fly ash as substitute for portland cement. The experimental program included activation of fly ash by a strong base(NaOH) at different concentration, temperature, and liquid-to-fly ash ratios. To achieve for higher compressive strength of the hardened product, sodium meta silicate is added to the alkaline solution. From the factors considered on strength development, the ratio of liquid/fly ash, the activator concentration and temperature always result to be significative factors. The optimization studied show that the alkaline solution concentration of $NaOH(210g)+Na_2SiO_3{\cdot}9H_2O(30g)+H_2O=1L$ at $50^{\circ}C$ produces the best alkali activation effect for the low calcium fly ash. SEM and XRD patterns showed that the components of alkali-activated fly ash consist mainly of mullite, quartz and amorphous aluminosilicate.
