Previously, it has been reported that Aspergillus oryzae can efficiently degrade unpleasant odor components such as butyric acid and 3-methyl butanoic acid from meju, a major ingredient in both Korean soybean paste (doenjang) and soy sauce. In this study, the optimal manufacturing conditions for the production of superior quality Korean soybean paste and soy sauce were determined. Specifically, A. oryzae AJ 100 was utilized to improve the flavor of these products. Mixtures of Korean soybean paste and A. oryzae AJ 100 culture (2 : 1), and of Korean soy sauce and A. oryzae AJ 100 culture (5 : 1), were incubated for 2 weeks at $30^{\circ}C$, and showed improved flavor. Butyric acid and 3-methyl butanoic acid were clearly degraded under these culture conditions.

Most studies of elsatohydrodynamic lubrication are oriented only to the measurement of film thickness itself with optical interferometer. In order to exactly investigate the characteristics of a certain lubricant under the condition of additives. especially for traction performance. it is also important to get the information of traction force as well. In this work. we developed the device for measuring friction force of EHL contact condition, which can trace the film thickness over the contact area with optical interferometer. To verify the validity of the measuring system, the friction force and film thickness under EHL condition are measured with the variation of additive ratios of viscosity Index improvers.

High surface area and high pore volume activated carbon was prepared by KOH activation of rice hull. The electrodes were fabricated by compounding the commercial and rice hull activated carbons with PVdF and PVdF-PVP mixed binders without addition of conductivity improver. The electrodes fabricated with rice hull activated carbon and PVdF-PVP mixed binders showed the best performance because the PVP played as a pore-forming agent. The electrode exhibited excellent electrochemical characteristics having 7.9 W.h/kg of energy density, 33.5 F/g of speific capacitance, 0.7 $\Omega$ of ESR and good efficiency of self-discharge compared with that fabricated with commercial activated carbons.

In order to economically utilize dough with B. longum, B. infantis and B. brevis as a bread improver, aerotolerance, ${\alpha}-galactosidase$ activity, organic acids, farinograph and extensograph of dough were investigated. In aerotolerance of Bifidobacterium sp., B. longum was highest among tested starters, followed by B. infantis. The ${\alpha}-galactosidase$ activity was highest in the B. longum among tested starters. In organic acids, the contents of lactic acid and acetic acid were the highest in the among tested starters, followed by B. infantis. In farinograms of dough, water absorption and peak time were highest in the B. brevis among tested dough. Extensogram showed that the area increased remarkably in B. longum and B. infantis at 135min of fermentation. Extensibility and resistance to extension of dough were highest in the B. infantis among the dough, followed B. longum.

Molecular alignment has been postulated as influencing non-Newtonian behavior of liquid lubricants containing various additives. Four blended lubricants, two synthetic and two mineral were analyzed by FTIR spectroscopy. All of the lubricants exhibited polarization changes in their infrared emission spectra at 60$\circ$C under shear. For this work a special mockup journal bearing was constructed to seperate load and shear effects. At a temperature of 100$\circ$C polarization by shear was always reduced, presumably by Browninn motion. This work should be useful in pointing to the shear-sensitive factors. The presence of of a VI improving additive is manifested by the independence of the infrared emissivity with temperature at several wavelengths; a lubricant without a VI improver generally shows a decrease of emissivity at higher temperature.

In order to utilize coal fly ash (hereafter : coal ash ) discharged from coal boiler as a material for civil engineering usage such as snow melter or soil improver, we have to prevent leaching hazardous elements such as fluorine boron and heavy metals from the coal ash because the leaching concentrations of some elements in the ash exceed the Japanese standards for environmental soil quality. Through the laboratory experiments and mill trials we confirmed that the leaching concentrations of fluorine, boron and heavy metals were maintained below their environmental standards by mixing with fixation chemicals and curing for a short time.

Oil viscosity is one of the important parameters for machinery condition monitoring. Basically, it is expressed as kinematic viscosity measured by capillary flow and dynamic or absolute viscosity measured by rotary shear viscometry. Recently, acoustic wave techniques appear in the market, measuring viscosity as the product of dynamic viscosity and density. For Newtonian fluids, knowledge of density allows conversion from one viscosity parameter to the other at a specific shear rate and temperature. In this work, oil samples with different chain lengths of viscosity index (VI) improvers and concentrations were examined by different viscometric techniques. Results showed that acoustic viscosity measurements give misleading results for oil samples with high molecular weight VI improvers and at low temperatures ${\leq}40^{\circ}C$.

This study is a part of the project that investigates a possibility of using methyl/ethyl butyrate as an alternative material of MTBE. To investigate characteristics of the two materials, a 2.0L 4-cylinders SI engine that was coupled to an 160kw EC engine dynamometer was used and operated several conditions. Two exhaust gas analyzer was used to measure CO, NOx and THC of after and before of a catalyst. Also, to compare combustion characteristics of the fuels a combustion analyzer was used for measuring pressure of inside of a cylinder. The results show no special difference between MTBE and the two materials from the emission and combustion characteristics aspect.

유전자 알고리즘(Genetic Algorithms)은 우수형질이 계속 번식하고 열성형질은 도태하는 자연의 진화 메커니즘을 모방한 탐색 알고리즘으로 전형적인 조합 최적화 문제에 많이 적용되고 있다. 유전자 알고리즘의 성능을 향상시키기 위해 알고리즘 실행과정에 적용할 수많은 이론과 경험적인 유전자 조작 기법이 제시되고 있는데, 이러한 기법들은 대부분 우수형질을 확보함으로써 최적의 값을 효과적으로 탐색하기 위한 것이다. 그러나, 적절하지 못한 유전자 조작의 경우 탐색지점의 제한등으로 인한 Local Optimum에 빠질 위험이 있으므로, 유전자 조작에 대한 평가가 이루어져야 한다. 본 연구에서는 유전자 알고리즘의 유전자 조작기법중 적응도 비례전략을 개선한 유전자조작이 적절한 선택기법들로 유전자 알고리즘에 응용될수 있는지를 밝히기 위해, 냅색문제를 대상으로 세대수의 변화에 따른 탐색 결과를 평가하였다.

In the electrode fabrication of unit cell, we found that optimal the electrochemical characteristics were obtained with at 90 wt.% of activated carbon(BP-20), 5 wt.% of conducting agent(Ppy, Super P) and 5 wt.% of P(VdF-co-HFP)/PVP mixed binder. The electrochemical characteristics of unit cell with Ppy improver were as follows : 37.6 F/g of specific capacitance, 0.98 $\Omega$ of AC-ESR, 2.92 Wh/kg and 6.05 Wh/L of energy density, and 754 W/kg and 1,562 W/L of power density. It was confirmed that internal resistance were reduced due to the increase of electrical conductivity and filling density by the introduction of conductivity agent, and content of conducting agent was suitable in the range of 4~6 wt.%. According to the impedance measurement of the electrode with conductivity agent, we found that it was possible to charge rapidly by the fast steady-state current convergence due to low equivalent series resistance(AC-ESR), fast charge transfer rate at interface between electrode and electrolyte, and low RC time constant.
