Recently, Pleurotus eryngii, King oyster mushroom, is main item of exportation in South Korea. For safe transportation to Europe and USA, it is necessary to elucidate suitable conditions of storage and treatment of post-harvest during long shipping period. For the selection of suitable package type, P. eryngii were stored at $0^{\circ}C$ and $4^{\circ}C$ after trimming and non-trimming package. Whole mushroom were packed with polypropylene anti-fog film about 400g. The weight loss ratio and elongation of pileus were increased with increasing storage time and temperature. There were little differences between trimming and non-trimming type in freshness at low temperature storage, $0^{\circ}C$ and $4^{\circ}C$. However, the freshness of non-trimming type P. eryngii at room temperature after low temperature storage is longer than that of trimming type. It was found that the optimum storage temperature and post-harvest treatment of P. eryngii were $4^{\circ}C$ and non-trimming type, respectively.

In plate rolling, it is desired to reduce the trimming loss by controlling the formation of defective end shapes. For this reason, edge rolling is frequently performed in the plate mill. In this paper, the effect of various process variables on the deformation of plate ends in edge rolling is examined by conducting experiments and finite element computer simulation. A focus is given to investigating the effect of edging on the width of the deformed plate trimming-free plate rolling.

Crop minimization of the top and bottom ends of hot rolled plate, in a plate, in a plate mill, has been investigated. The existing model to determine the edging pattern at the finishing rolling pass was not reasonable to get high width accuracy and rolling yields. New models including width prediction have been formulated by using neural network model of back propagation learning algorithm and statistical analysis based on the actual production rolling data to give the optimal pattern for minimizing trimming loss. Using these models, at a given rolling condition of broadside pass and finishing pass and the permissible condition of width variation, it was possible to minimize crip at the top and bottom ends according to optimum procedure in plate mill. An application to improve the plan view pattern reduced width variation by 23% and crop length by 30% on average with an effective fishtail crop shape.

To increase rolling yields by minimizing trimming losses of hot-rolled plate, optimization logic for the edger model has been developed. The logic to determine optimum edging amount model has been formulated on the basis of actual production rolling data. In case of broadside rolling, the fish tail shape at the sides of plate was better for reducing the crop loss and this could be achieved when the edging amount of broadside rolling was increased. At a given broadside rolling ratio, methodology to determine optimum edging amount for the finish rolling which could minimize the width deviation of plate were systematically derived. Therefore, for a given broadside rolling condition and the permissible tolerance in width deviation of plate, it was possible to optimize the edging amount in finish rolling to maximize rolling yields. The application of optimization logic in this study increased rolling yields from approximately 10% to 30% at various longitudinal eding raitos.

In order to reduce the trimming loss for water cooling zone next to finishing block mill in wire rolling, the operational data related to the crop length control of uncooled region was acquired and analyzed. The time deviation of water cooling spray nozzles and the immoderate preset length of uncooled wire rod result in the excessive trimming loss. Therefore, the preset length of uncooled wire rod at each cooling zone are established. The test results of #3 wire rolling mill turned out to be good enough to be expected to increase the ratio of products about 0.15% and establish operational standards of cooling zone.

This experiment was conducted to determine the effects of the pre- and post-harvest variable factors on the processed product of kimchi cabbage cultivated in semi-highland at summer time. Kimchi cabbage cultivar 'Chun Gwang' was grown in an open field and/or under a plastic greenhouse condition; it was stored at 0? after harvesting with low-density polyethylene (LDPE) film packaging. The pre-harvest characteristics growth parameters, fresh weight, head weight, no of leaves, leaf thickness, firmness, moisture content etc. were evaluated. The evaluated postharvest characteristics were fresh weight loss, appearance, trimming loss, SPAD value, moisture content and hue angle. The results show that the fresh weight and leaf thickness were higher in 'Chun Gwang' kimchi cabbages grown in the greenhouse than those in the field. However, the other evaluated factors were not affected by the type of cultural method. During the storage, the cabbage continued to decrease in fresh weight loss, trimming loss and moisture content. When compared to the kimchi cabbage showed significant difference in the fresh weight loss, trimming loss and moisture content during storage. It was confirmed that both cultural methods indoor- and outdoor did not show head growth parameters of 'Chun Gwang' kimchi cabbages on semi-high land at summer time. Although no difference in the growth before storage was observed, the evaluated characteristics like fresh weight loss etc. were influenced by cultural method as a pre-harvest factor. This study suggests that there were to be affected by pre-harvest factor during storage after harvest. In this study, an integrated management system combining relationship between processed agricultural products and their pre- and post-harvest factors.

This study investigated the effect of packaging method and root trimming on quality of green onions during storage. Two packaging methods (tied with string, S or packaged with film bag, FP) and two root trimming states (attaching the roots without trimming, AR or cutting the roots leaving about 5 mm, CR) were treated after harvest. Then, the green onions stored at 20℃ for 8 days and 1℃ for 6 weeks to investigate changes in quality. When stored at 20℃, the differences in marketability between S and FP were minimal, while when stored at 1℃, the marketability of the FP remained higher than that of S. The leaf color change in CR progressed faster than in the AR treatment group, leading to faster quality deterioration. The occurrence of weight loss, browning, and softening of stems progressed as the storage period elapsed. However, except weight loss, they were at a level that did not affect marketability within the marketability limit period determined by color change and wiltig of leaves. The allicin and quercetin contents of stems increased in the early stages when quality deteriorated after harvest but decreased as quality deterioration became more severe.

The conventional stamping tube forming process generally includes expanding the tube, forming the end into a specific shape by pressing, and trimming the part. However, the manufacture of the tube parts based on these conventional forming processes causes significant material loss during the trimming process after shaping. On the other hand, incremental tube forming (ITF) can reduce material loss in the entire forming process; therefore, it can be considered as an effective alternative to the conventional tube forming process and a promising method for developing tube components without using a press. The hemispherical shaped tool tip, widely used in the existing incremental sheet forming, has, however, limitations in forming complex-profiled tube parts. In this study, a novel tool tip is proposed to overcome the problem, and an S-shaped tube is successfully produced through the new ITF process. In addition, numerical analyses are conducted using the commercial FE package of Abaqus/Explicit to investigate the deformation mode during ITF. Finally, the feasibility of the novel ITF process for tube forming is confirmed by comparing the geometric accuracy and thickness variation between the target shape and the formed sample.

In the present study, the imbalance in the axial-thrust and variation in the volumetric efficiency that occurred during the trimming of impeller diameter were investigated. The present study was focused on low-specific-speed multistage centrifugal pumps with a balancing piston as the balancing mechanism. The effects of impeller trimming on the axial-thrust balance in multistage pumps with horizontal and vertical axes were compared. The results showed that impeller trimming resulted in an additional axial-thrust acting in direction of pump inlet. The axial-thrust imbalance due to impeller trimming was more severe in the vertical-axis pumps than in the horizontal-axis pumps. The rate of increase in the diameter of the balancing piston, which was proportional to the rate of impeller trimming, was evaluated to maintain the axial-thrust balance. Furthermore, a simultaneous increase in the piston length and piston diameter was more effective for reducing the axial-thrust imbalance along with the volumetric efficiency drop.

Derivation of a slab dimension from the desired tolerance degrades the product quality, resulting in significant yield loss by trimming. This necessitates the dimensional control system to be operated in tighter dimensional accuracy. This paper presents an integral approach to a dimensional control system design taking into account the interaction between the edging process and the gap rolling process. To investigate the effects of each process controller, a simple PID controller is adopted as a preliminary study. The control performance is analyzed in detail in terms of the system response accuracy for various operating conditions.
