This paper reports the results of an investigation into the effects of silica fume on strength properties of alkali-activated slag cement (AASC) with water-binder (W/B) ratio and replacement ratio of silica fume content. The W/B ratio varied between 0.50 and 0.60 at a constant increment of 0.05. The silica fume content varied from 0% to 50% by weight of slag. The activators was used sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and the dosage of activator was 3M. The strength development with W/B ratio has been studied at different ages of 1, 3, 7 and 28 days. For mixes of AASC mortars with varying silica fume content, the flow values were lower than the control mixes (without silica fume). The flow value was decrease as the content of silica fume increase. This is because the higher surface areas of silica fume particles increase the water requirement. The analysis of these results indicates that, increasing the silica fume content in AASC mortar also increased the compressive strength. Moreover, the strength decreases with the W/B ratios increases. This is because the particle sizes of silica fume are smaller than slag. The high compressive strength of blended slag-silica fume mortars was due to both the filler effect and the activated reaction of silica fume evidently giving the mortar matrix a denser microstructure, thereby resulting in a significant gain in strength.

The progress of the MMORPG is being under discussion based on 'User Created Content' recently. User Created Content is to be classified into four types - IC User Created Content, IC User Crafted Content, OOC User Created Content, OOC User Crafted Content. Mechanism, Dynamics and Aesthetics on the process of Game Design and Game Play that Marc Leblanc suggested are brought out differently from each other. So, User Created Content can make you understand the various desire of users who's playing game. And It is meaningful in Game Design, either. Therefore, User Created Content is significant as the interaction of IC culture and OOC culture and as the interaction of a process of game play and game design.

The freeze dried young antler was extracted by water and proteases. In case of water extraction, the extraction rate was highest when it was reacted in 5% of concentration for 6 hours at 50$^{\circ}C$. The result of HPLC analysis of extract shows that high molecular peak in water extract was transformed into low molecular polk by proteases. The rate of low molecular peak was highest when bacteria protease was used, and its second highest rate was pepsin, but the effect of papain on it was low, The extraction rate of young antler reacted for 5 hours was 33.4%(absorbance 13.25 at 280nm) of bacteria protease, 22.4%(absorbance 10.06) of papain, and 30.2% (absorbance 11.34) of pepsin. The young antler was boiled for 30min and it was reacted by proteases for 5 hours at 50$^{\circ}C$. The extraction rate of it was 47,6%(absorbance 12,54) of bacteria protease, and 26,4%(absorbance 7,48) of papain, and 45.6%(absorbance 7.23) of pepsin, In protein content, water extract was 52,1%, bacteria protease extract was 37.8%, and in amino acid content, water extract was 16.3%, bacteria protease extract was 31.96%, in ash content, water extract was 8.8%, bacteria protease extract was 5.6% by dry base. In mineral content, water extract contains 3.6% of Ca, 8.6% of P, 0.01% of Mg, 1.4 % of Na, 0.02 % of F, and bacteria protease extract contains 2.5% of Ca, 11.8% of P, 0.046 % of Mg, 2.1 % of Na, 0.018 % of F by dry base.

Salted mackerel(Scomber japonicus) is favorite diet in Korea from ancient times. The formation of N-nitrosamine and amines such as VBN, TMAO, TMA and DMA in salted mackerels were investigated when nitrite was added to salting water at the concentration of 0, 100, 500 and 1000mg/kg and influence of cooking method on the formation of N-nitrosamine was also analyzed. The content of VBN in mackerel during the salting increased contineously; after 50 days it was approximately more than 23.8 times as compared with that of raw sample. The TMAO nitrogen decreased while TMA increased in mackerel during the salting, the amounts of TMAO and TMA were 3.7~21.0mg/100g and 15.0~20.4mg/100g in salted mackerel, respectively. The content of DMA nitrogen increased remarkably in mackerel during the salting; DMA in sample salted for 50 days reached about 16.0 times more than that of raw sample. N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) content of control sample was detected less than 1.0$\mu\textrm{g}$/kg, but nitrite addition to salting water at 100, 500 and 1000ppm resulted in NDMA content of 8.1~14.6$\mu\textrm{g}$/kg, 24.5~45.5$\mu\textrm{g}$/kg and 53.8~77.2$\mu\textrm{g}$/kg, respectively. In contrast, cooked counterparts contained 3.3~12.6$\mu\textrm{g}$/kg of NDMA. In general, more NDMA were produced during cooking when samples cooked using direct heating methods such as a gas range and a briquet fire than when samples were cooked using indrect heating methods such as an electric range.

Development for extraction method of sea tangle was investigated with addition of sucrose, NaCl, EDTA-2Na, SHMP, and hydrolysis with commercial polysaccharide hydrolyzing enzymes. The total solids and protein yields were significantly increased by enzymatic hydrolysis or addition of NaCl and EDTA-2Na during boiling. The extract prepared by enzymatic hydrolysis followed by 2 hrs of boiling in 1.5% NaCl solution was significantly improved in solids and protein yield from 24.1% and 13.9% of 2 hrs of water boiling to 44.6% and 32.2%, respectively. The combined method increased the amino-nitrogen content but reduced the turbidity and viscosity. Extracts with a high intensity of total and seaweed-like taste as revealed by sensory evalution were obtained by combined method.

Sodium borate silicate glass of composition $10Na_2O-39B_2O_3-50SiO_2-CoO$ and $20Na_2O-14B_2O_3-65SiO_2-CoO$ were prepared by melting oxide mixtures in alumina crucible at $1210^{\circ}C$ in an electric furance in air for 2h, and then quenching in air. The dielectric behavior of the quenched glasses are the subject of the present work. Properties such as dielectric constant and resistivity as a function frequency and temperature are reported. From the dielectric spectra, the glass phase transition temperature has been found to decrease at a rate $Na_2O$ 20 mol% and the dielectric constants increase with increasing $Na_2O$ content. The frequency dependent resistivity response of glass exhibits a non-Debye type relaxation.

Few studies have evaluated the apoptosis-inducing efficacy of NaF on cancer cells in vitro but there has been no previous investigation of the apoptotic effects of NaF on human oral squamous cell carcinoma cells. In this study, we have investigated the mechanisms underlying the apoptotic response to NaF treatment in the YD9 human squamous cell carcinoma cell line. The viability of YD9 cells and their growth inhibition were assessed by MTT and clonogenic assays, respectively. Hoechst staining, DNA electrophoresis and TUNEL staining were conducted to detect apoptosis. YD9 cells were treated with NaF, and western blotting, immunocytochemistry, confocal microscopy, FACScan flow cytometry, and MMP and proteasome activity assays were performed sequentially. The NaF treatment resulted in a time- and dose-dependent decrease in YD9 cell viability, a dose-dependent inhibition of cell growth, and the induction of apoptotic cell death. The apoptotic response of these cells was manifested by nuclear condensation, DNA fragmentation, the reduction of MMP and proteasome activity, a decreased DNA content, the release of cytochrome c into the cytosol, the translocation of AIF and DFF40 (CAD) into the nucleus, a significant shift of the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, and the activation of caspase-9, caspase-3, PARP, Lamin A/C and DFF45 (ICAD). Furthermore, NaF treatment resulted in the downregulation of G1 cell cyclerelated proteins, and upregulation of p53 and the Cdk inhibitor $p27^{KIP1}$. Taken collectively, our present findings demonstrate that NaF strongly inhibits YD9 cell proliferation by modulating the expression of G1 cell cycle-related proteins and inducing apoptosis via mitochondrial and caspase pathways.

The specimens for the corrosion test were made by hot-pressing of SiC power with 2 wt% Nl2O3 and 10wt% Al2O3 additions at 2000℃ and 2050℃. The specimens were corroded in 37 mole% NaCl and 63 mole% Na2SO4 salt mixture at 1000℃ up to 60 min. SiO2 layer was formed on SiC and then this oxide layer was dissolved by Na2O ion in the salt mixture. The rate of corrosion of the specimen containing 10 wt% Al2O3 was slower than that of the specimen containing 2 wt% Al2O3. This is due to the presence of continuous grain boundary phase in the specimen containing 10 wt% Al2O3. The oxidation of SiC produced gas bubbles at the SiC-SiO2 interface. The rate of corrosion follows a linear rate law up to 50 min. and then was accelerated. This acceleration is due to the disruption oxide layer by the gas evolution at SiC-SiO2 interface. Pitting corrosion has found at open pores and grain boundaries.

Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is widely used to disinfect seawater in power plant cooling systems in order to reduce biofouling, and in ballast water treatment systems to prevent transport of exotic marine species. While the toxicity of NaOCl is expected to increase by ongoing ocean acidification, and many experimental studies have shown how algal calcification, photosynthesis and growth respond to ocean acidification, no studies have investigated the relationship between NaOCl toxicity and increased $CO_2$. Therefore, we investigated whether the impacts of NaOCl on survival, chlorophyll a (Chl-a), and effective quantum yield in three marine phytoplankton belonging to different taxonomic classes are increased under high $CO_2$ levels. Our results show that all biological parameters of the three species decreased under increasing NaOCl concentration, but increasing $CO_2$ concentration alone (from 450 to 715 ${\mu}atm$) had no effect on any of these parameters in the organisms. However, due to the synergistic effects between NaOCl and $CO_2$, the survival and Chl-a content in two of the species, Thalassiosira eccentrica and Heterosigma akashiwo, were significantly reduced under high $CO_2$ when NaOCl was also elevated. The results show that combined exposure to high $CO_2$ and NaOCl results in increasing toxicity of NaOCl in some marine phytoplankton. Consequently, greater caution with use of NaOCl will be required, as its use is widespread in coastal waters.
