Gynostemma pentaphyllum Makino is a kind of perennial liana plant belonging to the Cucurbitaceae family. Since it was first discovered and reported to the Japanese academy in 1977, it came to be widely known to China and Southeast Asia areas as well as Japan. In Korea its name began to appear in the first half of 1980's, and it is now being nationwidely cultivated and popularized as tea stuffs. Gynostemma pentaphyllum Makino has remarkably strong propagation power. In addition. since it contains a great quantity of beneficial components, especially saponin it is believed to have excellent medical effects, too. This study was undertaken to examine the value of Gynostemma pentaphyllum Makino as a health-promotint tea, by investigating the components creating the flaver of tea and the saponin ingredient making medical effects as well as by inspecting whether Gynostemma pentaphyllum Makino products show different component arrangements according to their growing districts. As raw materials of the experiment, three kinds of Gynostemma pentaphyllum Makino samples produced in Suwon, Geochang and Uleungdo were taken. To accomplish the formerly stated goals, the contained quantity of the proximate composition, free sugar, reducing sugar, free amino acid, minerals, tannin, caffeine and vitamin C were measured respectively and compared between the samples, while the saponin content was compared with heat extracted from panax ginseng. The results of the experiment are as follows: 1. In the case of the proximate composition, the crude fat content was the highest in the Gymostemma pentaphyllum Makino material from Geochang (1.62%), the second in that from Suwon (1.56%), and the lowest in that from Uleungdo (1.0%). In addition the Geochang: produced sample had the greatest quantity of the crude protein and ash contents: the order of the crude Protein content was the Geochang produced (17.83%), the Suwon-produced (15.87%), and the Uleungdo-produced(12.28%), while that of the ash content was the Geochang-produced (14.80%), the Uleungdo-produced(10.17%), and the Suwon-produced(9.34%). 2. As for the reducing sugar contents, the Suwon-produced scored the highest of the three (3.3%), while the Geochang-produced was 1.3% and the Uleungdo-produced 0.5%. The total content of free sugar was 1.07% (the Suwon-produced), and 0.49% (the Geochang-produced) respectively but the sample from Uleungdo showed almost no free sugar content. The contained quantity of fructose and glucose was the highest among the kinds of free sugar both in the Suwon-produced and in the Geochang-produced. 3. The content of amino acid was the highest in the Suwon-produced(1.41%), the second in the Geochang-produced(1.37%), and the lowest in the Uleungdo-produced(0.53%). In the experiment, sixteen kinds of amino acid were extracted-Asp. Thr. Ser. Glu. Gly. Ala. Val. Het. Ileu. Leu. Tyr. Phe. Lys. His. Arg. Try. All of them except glutamic acid and methionine showed the highest quantity score in the Suwon-produced, while the glutamic acid content was the higest in the Uleungdo-produced and the methionine content in the Geochang-produced. The sequential arrangement of the sixteen contents according to their magnitude ranged from glycine, aspartic acid, and glutamic acid (the highest) to tryptophan, serine and lysine (the lowest). 4. Ten kinds of mineral were detected-Ca, Mn, Cd, K, Na, Pb, Mg, Fe, Zn, Cu. Among them, the content of Cd, Na, Mg, Zn and Fe was the highest in the Geochang-produced and that of K in the Suwon-produced. 5. The Geochang-produced materials contained much a larger quantity of tannin (6.3%) than the Suwon-produced (2.6%). Neither caffeine nor vitamin C was detected in the three kinds of materials. 6. In the case of the saponin content the Geochang-produced showd 2.39%, the Uleungdo-produced 1.77% and the Suwon-produced 1.49% respectively. However, it was found also that the saponin content of Gymostemma pentaphyllum Makino was the same kind as that of panax ginseng.

Flemming and Johnson (2007) claim that there is a fundamental distinction between the mid central vowel [ə] and the high central vowel [?] in that [ə] occurs in an unstressed word-final position while [?] appears elsewhere. Compared to English counterparts, Korean [ə] and [?] are full vowels and they have phonemic contrast. The purpose of this paper is to explore the acoustic quality of two English reduced vowels produced by Korean learners and native speakers of English in terms of their two formant frequencies. Sixteen Korean learners of English and six native speakers of English produced four types of English words and two types of Korean words with different phonological and morphological patterns. The results show that Korean learners of English produced the two reduced vowels of English and their Korean counterparts differently in Korean and English words.

In order to develop the whey beverage, we examined the optimum conditions for alcohol fermentation by Kluyveromyces tragilis ATCC 46537. The optimum conditions for alcohol production by K. fragilis ATCC 46537 were as follows; pH 4.5, $30^{\cir}C$, with a supplement of 50 g/l of lactose. To develop a continuous production of alcohol from whey, we compared batch fermentation with continuous iermentation in conjunction with UF system. Batch fermentation produced 11.0 g/l of alcohol, whereas pseudocontinuous and continuous fermentation with UF system produced 8.5 g/l of alcohol. To increase the alcohol production, we added 50 g/l of lactose to both fermentations. Batch fermentation with lactose supplement produced 15.7 g/l of alcohol and continuous fermentation with lactose supplement in conjunction with UF system produced 15.0 g/l of alcohol. These results clearly demonstrate that the UF system can be used to increase the alcohol production from whey, supplemented with exogenous lactose.

The green peach aphid was relatively the majority(36.9-72.3% ) among all alate aphids collected from tobacco plants. Density of glatae was relatively lower on varieties Tl 1112 and Br 21 than on Va 115 or Y S A among seven varieties tested. However, no considerable difference was observed in general biology of nymphs produced by alatae on the tobacco varieties. About 55% of alate green peach aphid collected from tobacco fields produced progency, and over 80% of the nymphs became adults on cut tobacco leaves in petri dish. Adult longevity of both alate and apteral green peach aphid was shorter, and numbers of nymphs produced by both types were lower in summer than in autumn. Apterae produced more nymphs than alatae, but the longevity of apterae was shorter.

Red mud is an industrial by-product produced during the manufacturing aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH)₃) and aluminum oxide(Al₂O₃) from Bauxite ores. In Korea, approximately 2tons of red mud in a sludge form with 40~60% moisture content is produced when 1 ton of Al₂O₃ is produced through the Bayer process. An annual production of approximately 20tons are produced by company K, which is responsible for most of the domestic production. Therefore, in order to utilize Red Mud in the construction industry, this study evaluated the pore characteristics of ordinary portland cement mortar according to the red mud replacement ratio.

Generally, the same quality tobacco may give similar concentration of each chemical component. This research investigation was studied to obtain the differences in concentrations of volatile oil compounds in physically similar tobacco produced in different environment and managements-in Korea and in the United States. The flue-cured leaf tobacco produced in Korea and America was regraded to B3L and P3L by American grading system and analyzed for volatile oils relating to tobacco flavor and aroma. Sixty compounds of the more than 100 peaks distinguishable on the total neutral volatile oils were identified by G5-MS and quantified. Their concentrations are compared between B3 L and P3L produced in Korea and in the United States. The most volatile oil concentrations of B3 L and P3L grade tobacco arc higher in American than in Korean. Only a few components such as benzaldehyde, pulegonc, 4, 6, 9 - megastigmatriene - 3 - one, and coumaran are less in American.

Bioemulsifiers are those chemicals which are produced from microorganisms but which have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups. $\alpha$-Glucosidase inhibitor ($\alpha$-GI) produced from Bacillus lentimorbus B-6 (B-6) showed bioemulsifying activity. But $\beta$-glucosidase inhibitor produced from B-6 didn't show emulsifying activity. $\alpha$-GI was purified from supernatant of B-6 grown in minimal culture medium containing glucose and sodium glutamate by Sephadex G-100 column chromatography and isolated from $\beta$-GI by dialysis against water. Toluene was determined as the best substrate for emulsifying activity of $\alpha$-GI. $\alpha$-GI showed thermostability at $100^{\circ}C$ for 15 min, high salt tolerance up to 32% NaCl and wide range of pH-stability at pH $4\sim10$. Emulsifying character of $\alpha$-GI can be useful for the liposome formation for the treatment of diabetes mellitus.

The quality of dehydrated instant rice produced by a few selected processing methods with short grain milled rice was evaluated. Instant rice produced by process 2 had high rehydration rate, and those by processes 1 and 2 revealed light brown color with less lightness. Instant rice produced by processes 1 and 2 with ammonium carbonate treatment had more uniform porous microstructure, as shown by SEM micrographes, and microstructural difference was noticed between instant rice prepared with government rice and Akibari. Instant rice produced by processes 1 and 2 had less sensory color score, and those by processes 2 and 4 had higher sensory cohesiveness. Overall quality of instant rice produced by process 2 was better, except color.

In this research, the fit of basic dresses was examined, by analyzing and comparing the satisfaction of fitness of basic dresses made by the draping method on a custom-made replica body form and that of a basic dress made by the flat pattern method. Basis dresses were produced by the draping method for each 52 subjects using custom-made body forms, and another kind basic dresses for each subjects were produced by the flat pattern method using measurements of body sizes. Both basic dresses received high scores for the satisfaction of fit, but the basic dresses produced by draping method received higher scores. Thus it is expected to produce a more successful fit by draping a basic dress on a custom-made body form. Future research using more subjects might confirm these results. A more concrete analysis through using additional satisfaction tests could be conducted. For example, each subject might also serve as an evaluator to rate her satisfaction of fit wearing each of the two custom-made dresses. Finally, examining various body forms is suggested.
