The browning development, mainly through the Maillard reaction, occurring in the dried fish meat products during storage causes reduction of the nutritional value due to the loss of the essential amino acid such as available lysine as well as off -flavor resulting in the deterioration of the food quality thus shortening the shelflife. In the work, the changes in the amount of available lysine, extractable nitrogenous compounds (nonprotein-N, amino-N, trimethylamine oxide, trimethylamine, and free lysine) and development of browning were measured to assess the relationship between the shelflife and the quality loss in dried filefish under the steady state conditions (35,45, and $55^{\circ}C;a_{w}'s$ of 0.44 0.52, 0.65 and 0.75 at each temperature) and fluctuating temperature condition of $35/55^{\circ}C$ will. alternating 7 day periods at each water activity. The results indicated that the amount of available lysine and extractable nitrogenous compounds except TMA decreased rapidly with increasing temperatures and water activities while the rate of available lysine and extractable nitrogenous compounds must be involved in the initial stage of brown pigment formation. The available lysine loss of the dried filefish products stored under the fluctuating temperature conditions was greater than that stored under its fixed mean temperature, $45^{\circ}C$. The activation energies for lysine loss obtained from the Arrhenius plot ranged 6.9 to 4.4 Kcal/mol and $Q_{10}$ values at $40^{\circ}C$ were 1.4 to 1.2. The values for browning were 15.7 to 14.4 Kcal/mol and 2.2 to 2.0 respectively. Shelf-life, defined as the time to reach 0.15 O. D./g solid or the limit of off-color deterioration by browning reaction, was extented longer than the halflife of Iysine loss, actually corresponding $75\%$ loss of available lysine. This suggested that the halflife of lysine loss might not be adequate to assess the shelf-life of the food system with high potential of protein, nonproteinous nitrogen compounds, and lipids.

This paper proposes a $10\;{\mu}m$ thick oxide air-bridge structure which can be used as a substrate for RF circuits. The structure was fabricated by anodic reaction, complex oxidation and micromachining technology using TMAH etching. High quality films were obtained by combining low temperature thermal oxidation ($500^{\circ}C$, 1 hr at $H_2O/O_2$) and rapid thermal oxidation (RTO) process ($1050^{\circ}C$, 2 min). This structure is mechanically stable because of thick oxide layer up to $10\;{\mu}m$ and is expected to solve the problem of high dielectric loss of silicon substrate in RF region. The properties of the transmission line formed on the oxidized porous silicon (OPS) air-bridge were investigated and compared with those of the transmission line formed on the OPS layers. The insertion loss of coplanar waveguide (CPW) on OPS air-bridge was (about 2dB) lower than that of CPW on OPS layers. Also, the return loss of CPW on OPS air-bridge was less than about -20 dB at measured frequency region for 2.2 mm. Therefore, this technology is very promising for extending the use of CMOS circuitry to higher RF frequencies.

Using a Rheometries Fluids Spectrometer (RFS II), the dynamic viscoelastic properties of aqueous poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) solutions in small amplitude oscillatory shear flow fields have been measured over a wide range of angular frequencies. The angular frequency dependence of the storage and loss moduli at various molecular weights and concentrations was reported in detail, and the result was interpreted using the concept of a Deborah number De. In addition, the experimentally determined critical angular frequency at which the storage and loss moduli become equivalent was compared with the calculated characteristic time (or its inverse value), and their physical significance in analyzing the dynamic viscoelastic behavior was discussed. Finally, the relationship between steady shear flow and dynamic viscoelstic properties was examined by evaluating the applicability of some proposed models that describe the correlations between steady flow viscosity and dynamic viscosity, dynamic fluidity, and complex viscosity. Main results obtained from this study can be summarized as follows: (1) At lower angular frequencies where De<1, the loss modulus is larger than the storage modulus. However, such a relation between the two moduli is reversed at higher angular frequencies where De>l, indicating that the elastic behavior becomes dominant to the viscous behavior at frequency range higher than a critical angular frequency. (2) A critical angular frequency is decreased as an increase in concentration and/or molecular weight. Both the viscous and elastic properties show a stronger dependence on the molecular weight than on the concentration. (3) A characteristic time is increased with increasing concentration and/or molecular weight. The power-law relationship holds between the inverse value of a characteristic time and a critical angular frequency. (4) Among the previously proposed models, the Cox-Merz rule implying the equivalence between the steady flow viscosity and the magnitude of the complex viscosity has the best validity. The Osaki relation can be regarded to some extent as a suitable model. However, the DeWitt, Pao and HusebyBlyler models are not applicable to describe the correlations between steady shear flow and dynamic viscoelastic properties.

Exposure to heat stress (HS) has negative effects on pig production and health. Plasma concentrations of amino acids (AAs) can be used as indicators of HS. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of acute HS on feed intake, water drink, and plasma AAs in pigs. A total of 6 growing pigs (n = 6, 3 boars and 3 gilts) were raised in thermal neutral (TN; 25℃) conditions for the 5-d adaptation period as a control. After the adaptation, pigs were exposed to HS at 33℃ (HS33) for 24 h. All the pigs were fed the same diet formulated to meet or exceed predicted requirements during the whole experimental period. Blood samples were collected after the adaptation and heat treatment to verify the AAs. Measurements were the average daily feed intake (ADFI), average daily water intake (ADWI), water loss, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, nitrate, total nitric oxide, and AAs in the plasma samples. Data were analyzed using the PROC GLM of SAS. HS33 had a lower ADFI (p < 0.05) and a tendency for an increased ADWI and water loss compared to TN. The level of TNF-α was significantly decreased (p < 0.05) in HS33. HS33 had a lower concentration of histidine and sarcosine compared to TN; however, there were no differences in the levels of nitrates and total nitric oxide. In conclusion, the results of this study show the differential effect of HS on the plasma concentration of AAs. We expect that the changed AAs could be potential indicators of HS.

Indium Tin Oxide(ITO) thin film is transparent to visible ray and conductive in electricity. It is seen that the samples made by the sputtering process have high transmission rate to visible ray and high adhesion , but the planar type magnetron sputtering process with is very well known in industrial region have a defect of partial erosion on the surface of target and a high loss of target and also since the substrate is positioned in plasma, the damage on thin film surface is caused by the reaction with plasma. In cylindrical magnetron sputtering system. it is known that the loss of target is little , the damage of thin film is very little and the adhesion of thin film with substrate is strong. In this study, we have made ITO thin film in the cylindrical DC magnetron system with the variable of substrate temperature , magnetic field, vacuum condution and the applied voltage. The general temperature for formation on ITO is asked at 350 $^{\circ}C$~400$^{\circ}C$ but we have made ITO is low temperature(80-150$^{\circ}C$) By studing electrical and optical properties of ITO thin fims made by varing several condition, we have searched the optimal condition for formation in the best ITO in low temperature.

In this study, $0.45Pb(Fe_{1/2}Nb_{1/2})O_3-(0.55-x)Pb(Fe_{2/3}W_{1/3})O_3-xPb(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3(x=0.20, 0.25, 0.30)$ (x=0.20, 0.25, 0.30) ceramics were fabricated by the mixed oxide method. The sintering temperature and time were 950-990[$^{\circ}C$], 2[hr], respectively. The dielectric and structural properties with the composition and sintering temperature were investigated for the application as multilayer ceramic capacitors. To improve the dielectric loss, specimens doped with $MnO_2$, (0$\sim$2.0 [mol%] ) were fabricated and their dielectric properties were studied. With increasing the amount of $MnO_2$, dielectric constant was decreased and transition temperature was increased. Dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the 0.45PFN-0.30PFW-0.25PMN+$MnO_2$(1.0[mol.%]specimen(970[$^{\circ}C$]) had a good properties of 11,227, 1.3[%].

In this study, the dielectric ceramics with low loss were investigated for high frequency application. All sample of the $Ba_5M_4O_{15}$ (M=Ta, Nb) ceramics were prepared by the conventional mixed oxide method and sintered at $1325{\sim}1575^{\circ}C$. The bulk density and dielectric constant of the $Ba_5Ta_4O_{15}$ ceramics were increased continuously with increasing of sintering temperature. The quality factor was increased in the sintering temperature of $1375{\sim}1475^{\circ}C$ but decreased at the temperature above 1475$^{\circ}C$. In the case of $Ba_5Nb_4O_{15}$ ceramics, the bulk density, dielectric constant and quality factor were increased with sintering temperature but decreased above temperature of 1400$^{\circ}C$. The dielectric constant, quality factor and temperature coefficient of the resonant frequency (TCRF) of the $Ba_5Ta_4O_{15}$ and $Ba_5Nb_4O_{15}$ ceramics, sintered at 1475$^{\circ}C$ and 1400$^{\circ}C$, were 25.15, 53105 GHz, -3.06 ppm/$^{\circ}C$ and 39.55, 28052 GHz, 5.7 ppm/$^{\circ}C$, respectively.

$(Ba_{0.6-x}Sr_{0.4}Ca_{x})TiO_{3}$ (x=0.10, 0.15, 0.20) ceramics were fabricated by the mixed-oxide method and their stuctural and dielectric properties were investigated with variation of composition ratio and an amount of $Al_{2}O_{3}$ (0.5, 1.0, 1.5. 2.0, 3.0 wt%) doping content. As a result of the X-ray diffraction BSCT specimens showed dense and homogeneous structure without presence of the second phase. The sintered density was decreased with increase an $Al_{2}O_{3}$ doping content. The Curie temperature and relative dielectric constant at room temperature were decreased with increasing an amount of $Al_{2}O_{3}$ doping content. The dielectric loss is minimum for BSCT doped with 1.5wt% $Al_{2}O_{3}$ content. The tunability was decreased with increasing an Ca content and is about 4.2% for BSCT(50/40/10) doped with 2.0wt% $Al_{2}O_{3}$ content.

The present study was aimed to evaluate the antioxidant defense system of cinnamaldehyde in normal, diabetic rats and its possible protection of pancreatic ${\beta}$-cells against its gradual loss under diabetic conditions. In vitro free radical scavenging effect of cinnamaldehyde was determined using DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-dipicrylhydrazyl), superoxide radical, and nitric oxide radical. Streptozotocin (STZ) diabetic rats were orally administered with cinnamaldehyde at concentrations of 5, 10 and 20 mg/kg body weight for 45 days. At the end of the experiment, the levels of plasma lipid peroxides and antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E, ceruloplasmin, catalase, superoxide dismutase, reduced glutathione and glutathione peroxidase were determined. A significant increase in the levels of plasma glucose, vitamin E, ceruloplasmin, and lipid peroxides and significant decrease in the levels of plasma insulin and reduced glutathione were observed in the diabetic rats. Also the activities of pancreatic antioxidant enzymes were altered in the STZ-induced diabetic rats. The altered enzyme activities were reverted to near-normal levels after treatment with cinnamaldehyde and glibenclamide. Histopathological studies also revealed a protective effect of cinnamaldehyde on pancreatic ${\beta}$-cells. Cinnamaldehyde enhances the antioxidant defense against reactive oxygen species produced under hyperglycemic conditions and thus protects pancreatic ${\beta}$-cells against their loss and exhibits antidiabetic properties.
