  • We measured the effect of wettability of six MPSs for RGP(rigid gas permeable) lens. The used MPSs(multipurpose solutions) were OPTI-SOAK(ALCON), SOLO care hard(CIBA Vision), Total care(ALLERGAN), Simplicity(BOSTON), Wetting and Soaking Sol.(Bausch & Lomb) and Aquas-multi(Saehan). These MPSs keeps hydrophilic property of lens surface and increase the effect of cleaning or increase the effect of preservative effect. To compare with the effect of wettability we followed the way of contact angle measurement which was general way to measure wettability and compared lens which was conducted by each MPS made by different companies. As a control, 0.9% NaCl solution and artificial tears were used. The degree of the effect of wettability was decided by contact angle. It is hydrophilic property nearby $0^{\circ}$ of contact angle and it is closed by hydrophobic property as it increases. The results showed that every lens was nearby hydrophilic property within $25\;^{\circ}-36\;^{\circ}$. Also, it was differed by various factors. The surface tension showed various differences between 19.8 and 31.3 mN/m. In the viscosity, MPSs represented the highest viscosity between $4^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$. It was much higher than compared with the viscosity of soft lens MPS. This experiment could be used to grasping the interaction between solutions used to MPS and the natural endowments of lens and to considering the relations of different factors effecting the wettability.

  • Oxygen permeability and the mechanical properties of mixed ionic-electronic conductive $La_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}Co_{0.2}Fe_{0.8}O_{3-{\delta}}$ perovskite-type membrane, fabricated by solid state reaction, were investigated with regard to microstructure. The microstructure of the membrane was controlled by changing the sintering temperature and holding time. The average grain size and relative density were evaluated as a function of sintering conditions. As the fraction of grain boundary decreased, oxygen permeability showed a tendency to increase. Especially the maximum oxygen flux of 0.37 ml/$cm^2$${\cdot}$min was measured for the specimen sintered at 1300${\circ}C$ for 10 h, which has high density and relatively large grain size. Fracture strength was dependent on the relative density of sintered body, while fracture toughness increased with average grain size.

  • Established as the first science park in the world in the late 1950's, the Research Triangle Park(RTP) has not jut grown significantly but also has been successful in the transition from the exogenous development model to the endogenous development model. In this context, this paper attempts to explore the evolutionary path of the RTP by drawing upon the concept of triple-helix spaces of regional innovation. Firstly, the three research universities in the triangle area, as a knowledge space, played a fundamental role for forming the RTP. However, it is difficult to say that the regional universities, as opposed to the Silicon Valley and the Boston area, have had a significant impact on inducing the dynamics of the cluster evolution and the triple helix spaces. Secondly, it can be argued that the North Carolina's Board of Science and Technology, which was formed in 1961 but traced back to the 1950's in its origin, has been a centerpiece of a consensus space that makes a contribution to creating, sustaining and transforming the RTP as a triple-helix-based innovation cluster. Thirdly, there have been a plenty of agents to be an innovation space in the RTP. Particularly, the North Carolina Biotechnology Center(NCBC) and the Microelectronic Center of North Carolina(MCNC) have been the boundary permeable agents to make triple-helix agents interact. Today, the RTP has the triple-helix spaces with the structure that a consensus spaces is centered on out of the three, but all of those are inter-connected and influenced by each other. It can be claimed that the RTP today shows the dynamic structure of cluster evolution in a way in which the existing industry sectors have adapted to the changes in external environment and the new industry sectors have emerged at the same time.

  • In recently, the low impact development(LID) is discussed at various fields being related to urban stormwater, non-point source pollution, and quality of life. It is understood as an integrated development tool to induce sustainable development with various value-social, economic, and aesthetic. As concerning the development of waterfront area, the low impact development is interested in environmental planning. But the planning process and factors are not considered in precedent research. This study has two purposes. The one is to understand the planning process and factors of low impact development from literature review. The other is to apply the planning factors using case study and to know the effect of low impact development as the simulation plan. The simulation plan is based on some landuse planning. It is divided into the setting the region for environmental protection and the function of public facilities, spatial planning for enlarging permeable area, and spatial planning for circulation of water. The simulation model uses the LIDMOD2. The 14 planning factors of low impact development is applied to case region. And the effect is about 7~10 percent in reduction of nonpoint source pollution and surface runoff.

  • Oxidative stress is closely associated with various diseases and is considered to be a major factor in ischemia. NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) protein is a known antioxidant protein that plays a protective role in various cells against oxidative stress. We therefore investigated the effects of cell permeable Tat-NQO1 protein on hippocampal HT-22 cells, and in an animal ischemia model. The Tat-NQO1 protein transduced into HT-22 cells, and significantly inhibited against hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$)-induced cell death and cellular toxicities. Tat-NQO1 protein inhibited the Akt and mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPK) activation as well as caspase-3 expression levels, in $H_2O_2$ exposed HT-22 cells. Moreover, Tat-NQO1 protein transduced into the CA1 region of the hippocampus of the animal brain and drastically protected against ischemic injury. Our results indicate that Tat-NQO1 protein exerts protection against neuronal cell death induced by oxidative stress, suggesting that Tat-NQO1 protein may potentially provide a therapeutic agent for neuronal diseases.

  • A colorimetric paper sensor was used to detect volatile nitrogen-containing compounds emitted from spoiled salmon filets to determine their freshness. The sensing mechanism was based on acid-base reactions between acidic pH-indicating dyes and basic volatile ammonia and amines. A sensing layer was simply fabricated by drop-casting a dye solution of bromocresol green (BCG) on a polyvinylidene fluoride substrate, and its color-change response was enhanced by optimizing the amounts of additive chemicals, such as polyethylene glycol, p-toluene sulfonic acid, and graphene oxide in the dye solution. To avoid the adverse effects of water vapor, both faces of the sensing layer were enclosed by using a polyethylene terephthalate film and a gas-permeable microporous polytetrafluoroethylene sheet, respectively. When exposed to basic gas analytes, the paper-like sensor distinctly exhibited a color change from initially yellow, then to green, and finally to blue due to the deprotonation of BCG via the Brønsted acid-base reaction. The use of ammonia analyte as a test gas confirmed that the sensing performance of the optimized sensor was reversible and excellent (detection time of < 15 min, sensitive naked-eye detection at 0.25 ppm, good selectivity to common volatile organic gases, and good stability against thermal stress). Finally, the coloration intensity of the sensor was quantified as a function of the storage time of the salmon filet at 28℃ to evaluate its usefulness in monitoring of the food freshness with the measurement of the total viable count (TVC) of microorganisms in the food. The TVC value increased from 3.2 × 105 to 3.1 × 109 cfu/g in 28 h and then became stable, whereas the sensor response abruptly changed in the first 8 h and slightly increased thereafter. This result suggests that the colorimetric response could be used as an indicator for evaluating the degree of decay of salmon induced by microorganisms.

  • Turkey thigh meats with skin were ground twice through a 3-mm plate and patties were prepared. Patties were cooked using 5 different methods(oven cooking, pan frying, oil deep frying, boiling, and microwaving) to an internal temperature of 85${\sim}90^{\circ}C$ and packaged in either oxygen permeable PVC zipperbags or oxygen impermeable PVDC bags. The samples were analyzed for thiobarbituric acid reactive substances(TBARS) and cholesterol oxidation products(COPs) after storage at $4^{\circ}C$. The TBARS of cooked meat increased during the storage regardless of cooking methods, vacuum packaged thigh meat produced less TBARS and COPs than the aerobically packaged samples. At the beginning of storage, aerobically packaged meat cooked by boiling method produced higher TBARS than that of others. However, the TBARS of microwaved meat with vacuum packaging increased rapidly after 3 days of storage at $4^{\circ}C$. The amount of total COPs in cooked thigh meat increased linearly with storage time. The level of total COPs in aerobically packaged cooked meat was higher than the vacuum-packaged meat. Microwave produced higher level of total COPs in meat than other cooking methods during storage.

  • Quality change of Kimchi packaged with Ny/PE, Ny/CPP (PPtray+Ny/CPP cover), Cryovac BK-1, BK-4, and PET/Al/PE film was observed during storage at $5^{\circ}C$ (97%RH) and $20^{\circ}C$ (76%RH). To evaluate quality change of Kimchi, gas composition of package, pH, acidity, color, growth of lactic acid bacteria, and sensory score were measured periodically. Regarding to gas composition of package, Kimchi packaged with PET/Al/PE showed higher oxygen concentration at the beginning of storage than the others; carbon dioxide concentration was almost 100% at the end of storage. Carbon dioxide concentration of Kimchi packaged with Cryovac BK-1 and BK-4 which has higher gas permeability than the others, was increased to a maximum and then decreased due to permeation of gas during storage; oxygen concentration was increased. Unlike Kimchi packaged with Ny/PE, Ny/CPP, and PET/Al/PE, package swelling was not observed in Kimchi packaged with Cryovac BK-1 and BK-4 during storage. Although pH change was not significant depending on the packaging material, Kimchi packaged with Cryovac BK-1 and BK-4 showed lower pH value and higher acidity than those of the others. Color change of Kimchi was different depending on the packaging material during storage. Difference of the growth of lactic acid bacteria and sensory evaluation were not significant among Kimchi packaged with different packaging material during storage at either temperature. In conclusion, the effect of packaging materials on the quality change of Kimchi was not significant; however, to prevent from swelling of packaged Kimchi which is one of the most serious problem during storage and distribution, might be avoided by using relatively high $CO_2$ permeable film than high gas barrier film.

  • Respiration of 'Fuyu' persimmon (Diospyros kaki) fruits were measured in terms of oxygen consumption rate and carbon dioxide evolution by closed system experiments at 0, 5, and $20^{\circ}C$. Enzyme kinetics-based respiration model was used to describe respiration rate as function of $O_2\;and\;CO_2$ gas concentrations $(R=V_m[O_2]/K_m+(1+[CO_2]/K_i)[O_2])$, and Arrhenius equation was applied to analyze temperature effect. $V_m\;and\;K_m$ increased, while $K_i$ decreased, with increasing temperature. $K_m\;of\;O_2$ consumption was greater than that of $CO_2$ evolution at equal temperature. Inhibitory effect of reduced $O_2$ level on $O_2$ consumption was more prominent than that on $CO_2$ evolution. Activation energy of respiration decreased with reduced $O_2$ and elevated $CO_2$ concentrations. Activation energy of $CO_2$ evolution was greater than that of $O_2$ consumption. Permeable package experiments verified respiration model parameters by showing good agreement between predicted and experimental gas concentrations in package.

  • To improve the individual packaging method and extend the shelf life of mackerel (Scomber japonicus), salted and unsalted mackerel fillets were packaged in laminated plastic film bag (Nylon/PE: $20{\mu}m/40{\mu}m,\;12{\times}15$ cm) filled with $CO_2$ gas, in vacuum, and stored at O and/or $5^{\circ}C$. The other samples were packaged in plastic foam trays, overwrapped with oxygen permeable film (control), and stored at same temperature. Volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), trimethylamine (TMA), histamine (HM) and viable cell counts (VCC) were progressed with the increasing of storage time, but thiobarbituric acid (TBA) values decreased gradually after reaching at a maximum peak in 5-9 days. Judging from 4 chemical components, VBN was the most available component in quality judgement of mackerel fillets and its upper limiting content was 25 mg%. Regression equation for shelf life prediction of mackerel fillets with sensory evaluation and VBN component was determined.
