  • Preservation effects of the addition of ethanol (0-2% w/w) in low salt (4, 8% w/w) Doenzangs were investigated. Salt and ethanol suppressed remarkably the content of titrable acidity and ammoniacal nitrogen during the fermentation for 30 days at $30^{\circ}C$. In storage test after aging, 1% ethanol and 4% salt showed almost similar antiseptic effect and in the sensory evaluation, 4% salt-1% ethanol added sample had the most overall acceptability.

  • Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), ultrasonic extraction (USE), and accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) were compared with the well known Soxhlet extraction for the extraction of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins(PCDDs) from the XAD-2 resin which was used to adsorb PCDDs in the atmosphere. XAD-2 resin spiked with five PCDDs was chosen as a sample. The optimum conditions for the extraction of PCDDs by SFE were turned out to be the use of CO2 modified with 10% toluene at 100 ℃ and 350 atm, with 5 min static extraction followed by 20 min dynamic extraction. SFE gave a good extraction rate with good reproducibility for PCDDs ranging from 68 to 98%. The ultrasonic extraction of PCDDs from XAD-2 was investigated and compared with other extractions. A probe type method was compared with a bath type. Two extraction solvents, toluene and acetone were compared with their mixture. The use of their mixture in probe type, with 9 minutes of extraction time, was found to be the optimum condition. The average recovery of the five PCDDs for USE was 82-93%. Accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) with a liquid solvent, a new technique for sample preparation, was performed under elevated temperatures and pressures. The effect of tem-perature on the efficiency of ASE was investigated. The extraction time for a 10 g sample was less than 15 min, when the organic solvent was n-hexaneacetone mixture (1 : 1, v/v). Using ASE, the average recoveries of five PCDDs ranged from 90 to 103%. SFE, USE, and ASE were faster and less laborious than Soxhlet extraction. The former three methods required less solvent than Soxhlet extraction. SFE required no concentration of the solvent extracts. SFE and ASE failed to perform simultaneous parallel extractions because of instrumental limitations.

  • A compression to tensile load transforming (CTT) device was developed to determine indirect tensile strength of concrete material. Before CTT test, Particle flow code was used for the determination of the standard dimension of physical samples. Four numerical models with different dimensions were made and were subjected to tensile loading. The geometry of the model with ideal failure pattern was selected for physical sample preparation. A concrete slab with dimensions of $15{\times}19{\times}6cm$ and a hole at its center was prepared and subjected to tensile loading using this special loading device. The ratio of hole diameter to sample width was 0.5. The samples were made from a mixture of water, fine sand and cement with a ratio of 1-0.5-1, respectively. A 30-ton hydraulic jack with a load cell applied compressive loading to CTT with the compressive pressure rate of 0.02 MPa per second. The compressive loading was converted to tensile stress on the sample because of the overall test design. A numerical modeling was also done to analyze the effect of the hole diameter on stress concentrations of the hole side along its horizontal axis to provide a suitable criterion for determining the real tensile strength of concrete. Concurrent with indirect tensile test, the Brazilian test was performed to compare the results from two methods and also to perform numerical calibration. The numerical modeling shows that the models have tensile failure in the sides of the hole along the horizontal axis before any failure under shear loading. Also the stress concentration at the edge of the hole was 1.4 times more than the applied stress registered by the machine. Experimental Results showed that, the indirect tensile strength was clearly lower than the Brazilian test strength.

  • The effect of SIMS analysis conditions such as mesh grid, offset voltage and ion species on the in-depth profile for bismuth titanate thin film was examined in terms of charging effect and detection limit. The results shows that the use of offset voltage -40 V reduces the charging effect and the detection limit. The employment of mesh grid in sample preparation leads to the reduction of the charging effect in small amount, but deteriorate the detection limit. Utilization of primary $O^-$ ion for SIMS analysis of bismuth titanate thin film showed almost the same effect as using offset voltage -40 V. However, it takes approximately triple acquisition time than using $O_2{^+}$ ion due to the poor beam current of the source in the experiment.

  • Application of omija(Schizndra chinensis Baillon) to improve the quality and preservation of nabka kimchi was attempted and the optimal amount of omija level and its effect on the sensory and microbiological properties of nab마 kimchi during fermentation were examined. Effects of omija juice which had been prepared by extracting omija seeds for 9 hr at room temperature (22.5$\pm$0.5$^{\circ}C$) with different ratios (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0%;w/v) of water were examined against control (kimchi prepared without omija). Organoleptic and microbiological properties of nabak kimchi were measured up to 25 days at 1$0^{\circ}C$ after preparation. Sensory properties were evaluated in the aspects of both acceptability and intensity characteristics. In whole, 0.5 and 1.0% treatments showed higher values of evaluation, compared to control, 1.5, and 2.0% treatments throughout the fermentation period. As fermentation progresses, however, sample of 1.0% treatment ranked first between day 4 to 7 and also so did sample of 0.5% treatment along with 1.0% treatment from behind day 10. As for color, control, 0.5% treatment, and 1.0% treatment were more favored than rest of the samples. In texture, 2.0% treatment showed the highest values, whereas control was rated the lowest. In the intensity of characteristics 1.5% and 2.0% treatments showed higher values except sweet taste in which 1.0% treatment ranked top during the initial 7 days and then 0.5% treatment took the first place at behind day 10. total cell counts and number of lactic acid bacteria were gradually increased and then decreased showing the maximum levels of microbial counts on different days, to say, day 2 for control and 0.5% treatment nd day 7 for 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0% treatments. The application of omija juice in nabak kimchi enhanced eating qualities of the fermented product and the fermentation-retarding effect of omija juice was clearly shown during the initial seven days of fermentation. The optimum levels of omija juice in nabak kimchi obtained through experiments were between 0.5 to 1.0% for color, fermentation-retarding effects, and savory taste of the product.

  • This study attempted to investigate the effect of improving damaged hair by preparing a hair improving agent with basil oil and applying it to damaged hair. An experimental material was added to a perm base agent containing 0 g, 3 g, 6 g, 9 g of basil oil to prepare the preparation. It was applied to sample hair bleached at 8 levels with the prepared formulation. Each sample and damaged hair were measured and analyzed. The measurement method measured tensile strength, absorbance and gloss using methylene blue to determine the effect of improving maternal quality. Statistical analysis was conducted on the reliability of the study results. Studies have shown that all samples with basil oil have higher tensile strength than damaged hair. As a result of the absorbance analysis using methylene blue, it was found that the absorbance was lower than that of damaged hair in all samples. Gloss measurement showed that all samples showed increased luster compared to damaged hair. In conclusion, basil oil was found to improve damaged hair. In the future, research on various types of oil and research methods is needed.

  • Successive wetting and drying cycles of concrete due to weather changes can endanger the safety of engineering structures over time. Considering wetting and drying cycles in concrete tests can lead to a more correct and reliable design of engineering structures. This study aims to provide a model that can be used to estimate the resistance properties of concrete under different wetting and drying cycles. Complex sample preparation methods, the necessity for highly accurate and sensitive instruments, early sample failure, and brittle samples all contribute to the difficulty of measuring the strength of concrete in the laboratory. To address these problems, in this study, the potential ability of six machine learning techniques, including ANN, SVM, RF, KNN, XGBoost, and NB, to predict the concrete's tensile strength was investigated by applying 240 datasets obtained using the Brazilian test (80% for training and 20% for test). In conducting the test, the effect of additives such as glass and polypropylene, as well as the effect of wetting and drying cycles on the tensile strength of concrete, was investigated. Finally, the statistical analysis results revealed that the XGBoost model was the most robust one with R2 = 0.9155, mean absolute error (MAE) = 0.1080 Mpa, and variance accounted for (VAF) = 91.54% to predict the concrete tensile strength. This work's significance is that it allows civil engineers to accurately estimate the tensile strength of different types of concrete. In this way, the high time and cost required for the laboratory tests can be eliminated.
