The crystallinity and molecular weight of cotton linter need to be controlled to be more easily dissolved in NMMO during manufacture of clothing fabrics. Electron beam irradiation and sulfuric acid treatment were used as pre-treatment to reduce molecular weight of cotton linter more efficiently, and after the pre-treatment, peroxide bleaching was followed in alkaline condition. After those processes, the crystalline indices of the cotton linters were measured by XRD method, and other properties such as their alpha cellulose contents and degree of polymerization were measured. It was found that the crystallinity index of cotton linter was decreased as the irradiation of electron beam increased while increased as the dose of sulfuric acid increased. These results strongly suggested that electron beam damaged the crystalline structure of the cellulose directly while sulfuric acid dissolved mostly non-crystalline area of the cellulose structure.

Manufacturing fabrics from dissolving cellulosic pulp is increasing in these days. For making high quality of cellulose-based fabrics, control of cellulose DP (degree of polymerization), its alpha cellulose content, its brightness, and its crystallinity are important. To process the cellulosic raw material, refining of cellulosic fibers is essential, and it is important to know if refining affects those important cellulose properties. The effects of PFI mill and Valley beater refining on the alpha-cellulose content, cellulose DP, crystallinity, and paper mechanical properties of wood and two different cotton fibers were studied. The results showed that PFI mill refining rarely affected those properties. Fibers refined by a Valley beater displayed a small reduction in fiber length in comparison with those refined by a PFI mill. However, the Valley beater refining method produced almost no changes in cellulose properties, either. The refining process seemed to have very little effect on the cellulose DP, crystallinity index, or alpha-cellulose content until the freeness decreased to around 300 mL CSF for wood and 100 mL CSF for cotton fibers, respectively. There were also no differences in tensile strength development in two refining methods.

This study analyzed the convenience and productivity before and after adopting self-propelled power transportation devices to the harvest and transportation of fruit and vegetable products in the Gyeongbuk region, by applying the REBA and RULA techniques. In the REBA analysis, the work risk was low with 4~6 points before adoption which became 2~3 points after adoption. As for the RULA analysis, work loading appeared to have decreased with 6~7 points before adoption which became 3~4 points after adoption. The annual work time reduction was about 48~179 hours while labor costs were reduced to 364~1,345 thousand won annually. This indicated a labor cost reduction effect of about 10~15%. Therefore, the adopted self-propelled power transportation devices appeared to prevent musculo skeletal diseases of the human body and also improve productivity even after using it for long hours according to the REBA, RULA measures level.

This paper presents a feasibility study of a fresh air load reduction system by using an underground double floor space. The system was introduced into a real building and was examined by the field measurement. Judging from the measurements during three years(1999~2001), the state of the system operation was very stable through this period and it was clear that the system contributes to reduction of energy consumption for air-conditioning. Futhermore, a simulation model used the simple heat diffusion equation was developed to simulate its thermal characteristics and performances. The simulations resulted in air temperature in good agreement with the measurements. Also, from the result of numerical analysis, it is clear that the amount of heat supply by using this system is more than the amount of energy loss to the room above it. Therefore, it is concluded that this systems is very useful and the proposed numerical model can be used for the prediction of system thermal performance.

For the manufacture of linerboard with 100% KOCC, we tried to increase the solid content of wet web by employing GCC (grounded calcium carbonate) in the fiber furnish to save drying energy. Three different diameters of GCC, namely, 5, 10, and $35{\mu}m$, were used. To complement the strength loss by the addition of GCC, cationic starch and refining treatment were tried. It was found that the addition of $10-35{\mu}m$ dia. GCC to KOCC for $180g/m^2$ basis weight sheets increased the solid content of the furnish about 1-1.5% with better bulk and drainage properties. The loss of strength properties were compensated by the application of cationic starch and/or refining process to the KOCC furnish. The dia. of GCC of $35{\mu}m$ was, however, too large to make smooth surface of the sample sheet. So, the optimization process was required before implementing the results to the mill by selecting proper diameter and shape of the calcium carbonate.

Sinapic acid (SA) is a phenolic acid that is widely distributed in fruits and vegetables, which has various bioactivities, such as antidiabetic, anticancer and anti-inflammatory functions. Over-activated microglial is involved in the development progress of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of SA in microglia neuroinflammation models. Our results demonstrated that SA inhibited secretion of the nitric oxide (NO) and interleukin (IL)-6, reduced the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and enhanced the release of IL-10 in a dose-dependent manner. Besides, our further investigation revealed that SA attenuated the phosphorylation of AKT and MAPK cascades in LPS-induced microglia. Consistently, oral administration of SA in mouse regulated the production of inflammation-related cytokines and also suppressed the phosphorylation of MAPK cascades and AKT in the mouse cerebral cortex. These results suggested that SA may be a possible therapy candidate for anti-inflammatory activity by targeting the AKT/MAPK signaling pathway.

This study was conducted to investigate the functional biological effects of hot water and ethanol extracts from Taraxacum mongolicum (TM). Then, the hot water and ethanol extracts of TM were measured for total flavonoids content, total phenolics content, electron donating ability, nitrite-scavenging ability, SOD-like activity, tyrosinase inhibitory effect, and elastase inhibitory effect. Total flavonoids contents of hot water and ethanol extracts from TM were 7.80$\pm$0.97 mg/g and 9.12$\pm$0.51 mg/g, respectively, and total phenolics contents were estimated as 54.20$\pm$1.95 mg/g for water extract and 79.43$\pm$4.44 mg/g for ethanol extract. The $RC_{50}$ values for electron donating ability of hot water and ethanol extracts were 943.98 $\mu$g/mL and 309.41 $\mu$g/mL. SOD-like activity and nitrite-scavenging ability were dependent on concentration of hot water and ethanol extracts, and the activity of ethanol extract was higher than that of hot water extract. However, hot water and ethanol extracts from TM showed no inhibitory activities on the elastase and tyrosinase inhibitory activities. Based on the above results, the ethanol extract of TM seems to be the most pertinent for use as functional food and cosmetic.
