The battery powered electric vehicle (EV) is one of most promising technologies in 21^st century. Though the lithium batteries are playing an important role in the EVs, they are only applicable until their capacities reach 80%, the end of its useful first life. Yet, these batteries can live a second life such as Energy Storage Systems (ESS). In order to utilize the Residual Useful Life (RUL) of the batteries the State of Health (SOH) of them needs to be estimated by a nondestructive test such as Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) technique. Though many kinds of different EIS instruments are commercially available, most of them can only test a battery module less than 10V and the price of the instrument is very high. In this paper a low-cost EIS instrument suitable for measuring the impedance spectrum of the high voltage battery module is proposed and its validity is verified through the experiments. In order to prove the accuracy of the developed EIS instrument its measured impedance spectrum is compared with the results obtained by a commercial instrument. The Chi Square value calculated between two impedance spectrum measured by both developed and commercial instruments are less than 2%, which prove the strong correlation between two results.

The three years Performance of a liquid type solar heating system has been determined for a system which has been determined for a system which has been operating continuously since 1976 in Seoul with no serious maintenance. A flat plate collector is used to transform incident solar radiation into thermal energy. This energy is stored if the form of sensible energy and used as needed to supply the space heating loads. An electric auxiliary heaters are provided to supply energy for space heating load when the energy in the storage tank is depleted. The ratio of useful collected solar heat divided by the total solar radiation on the collector was obtained about 84 per cent. It is also obtained the relation between ratio of solar collector area to the heating area and the ratio of useful collected solar energy to the heating load for the useful design data. A comparison between the measured and simulated results with the solar space heating system is described. Hour by hour simulation is made on unsteady state basis using the system parameters and meteorological data at the experiment site. The result of comparison turned out satisfactory for the solar heating system, though the simulation was formed somewhat higher than by experimental.

Effect of gamma irradiation on quality properties of half·cooked noodle was studied. The noodle were treated with lactic acid(0.1%, w/w), heat(10 min in boiling water) or their combination after cooking for 3 min, and irradiated at 0, 5 and 10 kGy. The noodle were stored at 25。C for 5 weeks and microbial population, Aw, pH, and texture profiles were examined. Fungi were completely eliminated by gamma-irradiation with 5 or 10 kGy does. Number of aerobic bacteria were also decreased by 2 and 4 log cycles with dose of 5 and 10 kGy, respectively. The D10 values of aerobic bacteria were 2.34∼2.95 kGy. Growth of the aerobic bacteria that survived even at 10 kGy of irradiation were significantly inhibited during storage. Acidification of half-cooked noodle was suppressed by gamma irradiation but A${_w}$ were not affected. Stickiness was decreased at the beginning of storage by gamma irradiation but was restored after 3 weeks. The results indicated that the gamma irradiation would be useful to improve quality and storage stability of half-cooked noodle.

This paper presents an integrated analysis of supply chain and financing decisions of multi-national corporation. We construct a model in which multiple currency storage units are installed to manage the currency flows associated with multi-national supply chain activities such as raw material procurement, process operation, inventory control, transportation and finished product sales. Core contribution of this study is to quantitatively investigate the influence of macroscopic economic factors such as exchange rates and taxes on operational decisions. The supply chain is modeled by the Process-Storage Network with recycle streams. The objective function of the optimization is minimizing the opportunity costs of annualized capital investments and currency/material inventories minus the benefit to stockholders interpreted by home currency. The major constraints of the optimization are that the material and currency storage units must not be depleted. A production and inventory analysis formulation, the periodic square wave (PSW) model, provides useful expressions for the upper/lower bounds and average levels of the currency and material inventory holdups. The expressions for the Kuhn-Tucker conditions of the optimization problem are reduced to a subproblem and analytical lot sizing equations. The procurement, production, transportation and financial transaction lot sizes can be determined by analytical expressions after the average flow rates are already known. We show that, when corporate income tax is taken into consideration, the optimal production lot and storage sizes are smaller than is the case when such factors are not considered typically by 20 %.

Predictive models in food microbiology are used for predicting microbial growth or death rates using mathematical and statistical tools considering the intrinsic and extrinsic factors of food. This study developed predictive growth models for Bacillus cereus on dried laver Pyropia pseudolinearis stored at different temperatures (5, 10, 15, 20, and 25℃). Primary models developed for specific growth rate (SGR), lag time (LT), and maximum population density (MPD) indicated a good fit (R²≥0.98) with the Gompertz equation. The SGR values were 0.03, 0.08, and 0.12, and the LT values were 12.64, 4.01, and 2.17 h, at the storage temperatures of 15, 20, and 25℃, respectively. Secondary models for the same parameters were determined via nonlinear regression as follows: SGR=0.0228-0.0069*T₁+0.0005*T₁²; LT=113.0685-9.6256*T₁+0.2079*T₁²; MPD=1.6630+0.4284*T₁-0.0080*T₁² (where T₁ is the storage temperature). The appropriateness of the secondary models was validated using statistical indices, such as mean squared error (MSE<0.01), bias factor (0.99≤B_f≤1.07), and accuracy factor (1.01≤A_f≤1.14). External validation was performed at three random temperatures, and the results were consistent with each other. Thus, these models may be useful for predicting the growth of B. cereus on dried laver.

This study was performed to investigate the effects of lotus leaf hot water extracts treatment on the quality and stability of eggs using impregnation treatment through ultrasonication during storage. A total of 480 eggs were categorized into four treatment groups (n=30 each)-non-treated (CON), soaked for 30 min in lotus leaf hot water extracts without ultrasonication (T1), sonicated in distilled water (T2), and sonicated in lotus leaf hot water extracts (T3)-and stored for 15 d at 30℃. The egg weight, Haugh unit (HU), egg grade, albumen height, yolk color, eggshell thickness, eggshell breaking strength, and weight loss were measured for egg quality assessment. 2-Thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) and volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) contents were measured as stability indicators. Additionally, total phenolic contents (TPC), total flavonoid contents (TFC), and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity were evaluated. The HU, egg grade, albumen height, and yolk color of T3 were significantly higher than those of CON (p<0.05). No significant differences in eggshell thickness and eggshell breaking strength are observed among the groups. The weight loss of T3 was significantly lower than that of the other groups during storage (p<0.05). The application of lotus leaf hot water extracts also significantly reduced TBARS and VBN (p<0.05). The TPC, TFC, and DPPH radical scavenging activity of T3 were significantly higher than those of the other groups (p<0.05). These results suggest that lotus leaf hot water extracts may be useful as a natural ingredient for improving the quality and stability of eggs during storage.

This study was conducted to find the potential of polyethylene wrapping, ethylene scrubber, and Prolong as postharvest application in oriental pear, 'Niitaka'. Polyethylene film($30{\mu}m$) wrapping greatly reduced weight loss during storage for 80 to 110 days but the occurrence of dark skin browning became severe because of high humidity in polyethylene bags. Also, in long term storage of 110 days, parts of fruit developed uneven skin disorder or rupturing of cuticle layer. Ethylene scrubber reduced uneven skin disorder but no beneficial effect was found on the prevention of core breakdown. This indicates that the ethylene scrubber probably be effective when applied dicrectly to the storage room. The immediate application of Prolong to harverted fruit was confirmed not to be useful as postharvest treatment in 'Niitaka' pears.
