This paper addresses the problems of using anti-freeze lubricants for different machines that must function at extremely low temperatures during winter operation in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). We discuss the possibility of obtaining anti-freeze base oils from Talakan crude oil, an area with major oil and gas deposits of the Republic of Sakha, and also provide the trade and technological classification of Talakan crude oil. We propose two different schemes for processing Talakan crude oil: the fuel scheme (obtaining light and heavy fractions as a fuel oil) and the base oil scheme (obtaining light fractions and base oils). We investigate the influence of pour point depressants on alkyl-methacrylate base on the low-temperature properties of the fractions obtained from Talakan crude oil and Korean base oils, and establish the optimal concentration of pour point depressants. We compare the properties of these fractions with the low-temperature properties of Korean base oils and find that the commercial oil "Ravenol 0W-40" provides optimistic results. We obtain oil with a pour point of minus $50^{\circ}C$ and a viscosity index greater than 100. The Design of Experiment was used to establish the optimum composition of the pour point depressants and the base oil S-8 to obtain lubricant oil with a kinematic viscosity of 17 cSt, viscosity index of 208, and a pour point of minus $64^{\circ}C$.

This study presents a coolant density calculation device and its corresponding method by using a mass flowmeter and the LabVIEW program. The method can be easily measured with a mixture of coolant and by calculating the percentage of ethylene-glycol without additional investment. The cooling water is very important in a vehicle to protect the engine, and the cooling performance is affected by the mixture concentration and coolant density. The coolant density calculation device measures the mixed concentration in the anti-freeze cooling mixture made from distilled water and ethylene-glycol in real time with the mass flowmeter that is commonly attached to the radiator or heater core. The calculation program for the mixture concentration percentage was developed using the LabVIEW software. The correlation between experimental results and the calculation was conducted for a range of temperature from 40 to $90^{\circ}C$ and by varying the mixture ratio of distilled water and ethylene-glycol. As a result, the anti-freeze coolant concentration in the volume percentage is able to monitor the coolant density in a timely basis by implementing a mixture concentration calculation program without the need for additional equipment investment. The results of the calculation for the mixture concentration level show a maximum 2.7% deviation compared to the experimental results.

The present study was investigated the anti-oxidative effects of aloe vera ingestion on brain and kidney in aged rats by monitoring several oxidative-related parameters. Male specific pathogen-free Fischer 344 rats were randomly divided into four groups of five rat each: Group A was fed test chow without aloe supplementation; Group B was fed a diet containing a 1% freeze-dried aloe filet; Group C was fed a diet containing a 1% charcoal-processed, freeze-dried aloe filet; and Group D was fed a diet containing a charcoal-processed, freeze-dried, whole leaf aloe in drinking water. Analyses of tissues were done at 4 months and 16 months of age. Results showed that a long-term intake of aloe, regardless of the preparation used, enhanced antioxidant defenses against lipid peroxidation, as indicated by reduced phosphatidylcholine hydroperoxide levels in both brain and kidney. The additional benefit of aloe intake on the anti-oxidative action was evidenced by enhanced superoxide dismutase and catalase activity in all aloe-ingested groups. Another beneficial effect of aloe shown in this study, although not an anti-oxidative parameter, was its cholesterol-lowering effect as detected in brain and kidney with significant decreases at age16 months of aloe-fed rats. Based on these findings, we conclude that a long-term dietary aloe supplementation modulated the anti-oxidative defense systems and cholesterol level.

동절기에 콘크리트를 시공할 경우 초기동해와 강도발현이 지연되는 문제가 있으며, 이를 방지하기 위해서는 콘크리트가 동결하기 이전에 시멘트의 수화반응이 일정수준 이하 진행되는 것이 중요하다. 이에 본 연구는 조강형시멘트를 대상으로 내한성 혼화제를 사용한 저온환경하 콘크리트의 실무활용 가능성을 검토할 목적으로 보온 및 가열양생 없이 저온환경하 모르타르 조건에서 방동제, 감수제 및 내한촉진제의 종류별 사용에 따른 작업성 및 유지성능, 동결온도, 압축강도를 평가하였다. 실험결과 조강형시멘트와 방동제를 사용할 경우 CN 방동제 대비 SN 방동제가 초기 압축강도발현이 증진되었다. 또한, 0분 플로우가 증가하고 20분 플로우가 감소하였는데, FR, RT 감수제를 사용하여 플로우 지속성능이 다소 개선됨을 확인하였다. CF, LS 내한촉진제는 감수제의 종류와 상관없이 전반적으로 강도발현이 증진되었으나, SC 내한촉진제는 RT 감수제에서 강도발현이 미비한 것으로 나타났다.

For vessels operating in the cold climate regions, the ballast water inside or hopper tanks above the waterline may be frozen, starting at the top of the tank and at the side walls. Therefore, countermeasures against freeze-up of the ballast tank such as air-bubbling system, hot steam injecting system, heating coil system and water circulating system are taken to prevent freeze-up phenomenon; however, there are no rigorous investigations of anti-freezing to examine the effectiveness and validity of systems against freeze-up of the ballast tank, in which the temperatures are about $-25^{\circ}C$ (ambient air temperature) and $0^{\circ}C$ (sea water), respectively. In this paper, to ensure reasonable specifications for cold regions if the measures from the above-mentioned systems against freeze-up are effective, the phenomenon of ballast tank freeze-up is simulated and discussed in low temperature conditions. With the results using the commercial CFD code, CFX 14, the most cost-effective solution is conducted to prevent being frozen along the outer surface.

This study aimed to assess fatty acid composition and anti-inflammatory effects, such as nitric oxide(NO) production, expression of $TNF-{\alpha}$ and interleukin-6(IL-6), of Tenebrio molitor larva using RAW 264.7 cells. The content of total fatty acid in Tenebrio molitor larva was 76.14%, which was composed of oleic acid(42.12%), linoleic acid(32.67%) etc. There was no cytotoxicity at a dose level of 0.1, 1.0, 10, and $100{\mu}g/mL$ of freeze dried Tenebrio molitor larva ethanol extract(FDTEtOH) on RAW 264.7 cells. FDTEtOH significantly decreased NO production in LPS(lipopolysaccharide)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Also, FDTEtOH dose-dependently suppressed the expression of $TNF-{\alpha}$ and IL-6. Thus, these results showed that Tenebrio molitor larva has the potential to be used as an anti-inflammatory food to improve immunity.

본 연구에서는 열풍건조와 동결건조 2가지 방법으로 건조된 아로니아의 항산화 기능과 항염증 활성을 비교함으로써 아로니아의 최적 가공법과 기능성 소재로의 이용가능성을 살펴보고자 하였다. 동결건조는 $-18^{\circ}C$의 냉동고에서 8시간 냉동시킨 후, 동결건조기를 이용하여 $-55^{\circ}C$에서 48시간 동안 실시하였고, 열풍건조는 열풍건조기를 이용하여 $50^{\circ}C$에서 48시간 동안 수행하였다. 아로니아 추출은 분말화된 원료에 70% 에탄올을 10배수로 가하여 2시간 동안 $70^{\circ}C$로 연속 3회 환류추출하였다. 총 폴리페놀 함량은 동결건조 추출물이 155.76 mg GAE/g, 열풍건조 추출물이 134.93 mg GAE/g으로, 총 플라보노이드 함량은 동결건조 추출물이 105.7 mg QE/g, 열풍건조 추출물이 82.29 mg QE/g으로 분석되어 동결건조 추출물에서 더 높은 함량을 보였다(p<0.05). DPPH radical 소거 활성과 ABTS radical 소거 활성은 전 농도에 걸쳐 동결건조 추출물이 열풍건조 추출물에 비해 유의적으로 높은 것으로 나타나 동결건조 추출물이 열풍건조 추출물에 비해 우수한 항산화력을 가짐을 알 수 있었다. RAW 267.4를 이용한 MTT assay를 통해 세포독성을 조사한 결과 동결건조 및 열풍건조 아로니아 추출물 모두 100-300 ug/mL의 농도에서 세포독성은 나타나지 않았으며, 항염활성 평가에서는 동결건조 추출물이 300 ug/mL 농도에서 LPS 처리군에 비해 NO 생성을 62.7% 감소시킨 데 비해 열풍건조 추출물이 33.5%를 감소시켜 동결건조 추출물이 열풍건조 추출물에 비해 더 높은 항염증 활성을 보여주었다. 본 연구결과를 통해 열풍건조보다는 동결건조 방법이 아로니아의 유효성분 함량 증대를 통한 항산화 및 항염증 활성을 높이는 더 나은 방법임을 알 수 있었다. 단, 동결건조 방법이 산업적인 측면에서 장비 및 운용비용 등의 문제를 가진 만큼, 향후 열풍건조 대비 기능성분 및 기능성 개선과 함께 원가적인 측면을 고려하여 가공법을 결정할 필요가 있다.

본 논문에서는 에너지방정식과 비정상 비압축성 Navier-Stokes 방적식을 사용하여 동절기 소방배관의 동파방지를 위한 최적의 열선위치를 확인하였다. 물의 자연대류와 소방 배관의 전도 열방정식이 결합된 복합열전달을 해석하였다. 혼합 열전달 배관 내 물의 비정상적인 유동과 온도분포를 확인하기 위하여 SIMPLE 형태의 알고리즘을 기반으로 한 상용코드(ANSYS-FLUENT)가 사용되었다. 수치해석을 수행하여 등온선과 벡터장을 살펴보았다. 물의 열팽창계수를 일정하다고 가정할 때 소방 배관 단면의 하부에 열선을 설치하는 것이 다른 위치에 설치하는 것보다 시간에 따른 물의 최저온도가 가장 높아서 동파방지에 가장 효과적인 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Objectives Eucommiae cortex is one of the frequently used herbs for musculoskeletal disorders, with well-known anti-inflammatory effect. Meanwhile, powdered form of herbal drugs is more advantageous than decoction form, in that storing and taking is more convenient. Thus, the authors aimed to investigate whether the drying method affects the index compound level and anti-inflammatory effect of eucommiae cortex water extract. Methods Eucommiae cortex was extracted in distilled water at $100^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours, filtered, and then evaporated under vacuum. One half of the sample was freeze-dried at $-80^{\circ}C$. Another half of the sample was added with dextrin and then spray-dried at $180^{\circ}C$. To assess the possible change in index compound content, pinoresinol diglucoside was selected as the index marker. The content level of the index compound in various extract sample was quantified through high performance liquid chromatography. In addition, iNOS assay in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells was adopted to determine the anti-inflammatory effect of various extract samples. Furthermore, MTT assay was performed to confirm that the result of iNOS assay was not due to cytotoxicity. Results There was no significance difference in index compound content between extract samples obtained through two different drying methods. Anti-inflammatory activity of extract samples were similar at the matching concentration, regardless of the drying methods. Extract samples did not show any significant cytotoxicity. Conclusions Extract samples of eucommiae cortex were obtained through freeze-drying and spray-drying. Neither change in index compound content nor difference in anti-inflammatory activity was observed between drying methods.
