We have been investigated the effects of the initial pH of the aquous solution, reaction temperature and time for the flaking of the soda-lime glass container. Flaking of glass occuurred in the cases of the $121^{\circ}C$, above pH 11 of solution with no $Mg^{2+}$ ions in solution. The pH of the solution approached to pH 10 under the conditions of below pH 9 of start solution. The flaking mechanism of the glass seem to be composed of formation of leached layer of $Ca^{2+}$ and $Na^{2+}$ ion and separation of these layers during the cooling by the difference of thermal expansion between leached layer and glass surface. The leaching of alkali ions in glass depends on the pH condition of the start solution and the temperature. In the case of $Mg^{2+}$ ions are added, $Mg^{2+}$ ions accelerate the flaking of the sodalime glasses and forms the magnesium silicate compound which result in the decrease of the pH of the solution.

Kullback Discrimination Information (KDI) is one of the pattern recognition methods. KDI defined as a measure of the mutual dissimilarity computed between two time series was studied for detection and classification of bearing flaking on outer-race and inner-races. To model the damages, the bearings in normal condition, outer-race flaking condition and inner-races flaking condition were provided. The vibration sensor was attached by the bearing housing. This produced the total 25 pieces of data each condition, and we chose the standard data and measure of distance between standard and tested data. It is difficult to detect the flaking because similar pulses come out when balls pass the defection point. The detection and classification method for inner and outer races are defected by KDI and nearest neighbor classification rule is proposed and its high performance is also shown.

For the issue of flaking of the hot-dip galvanizing coating during drawing, the microcosmic characteristics of the coatings have been analyzed and experiments have been done to investigate the influence of coating thickness, Al content and steel substrate strength on its flaking-resistance. The results show that the fact of flaking is that the coating partially flaked off at the position far away from interface of steel substrate and coating, and not entirely flaked off from steel substrate because of poor adhesion. The flaking-resistance of coating decreases with the increasing of coating thickness and steel substrate strength, and increases with the increasing of Al content in coating at the same experimental conditions.

The objective of this study was to examine the effects of steam flaking treatment of corn grains imported from USA and India on in vitro gas production, microbial growth and contents of aflatoxin $B_1$ and ochratoxin A. Each treatment was composed of total 4 treatments including (1) USCW (US com-whole type), (2) USCF (US corn-flaked type), (3) IDCW (India corn-whole type) and (4) IDCF (India orn-flaked type) with 4 replications $\times$ 6 incubation times (3, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24 hr). Mycotoxin (aflatoxin $B_1$ & ochratoxin A) contents in test corns tended to increase gradually with increasing logistics periods from the harbor, hopper, silo to processing line. The contents of aflatoxin $B_1$ in India corn (IDCW) and US corn (USCW) were 11.71 and 1.78 ppb, respectively when measured at the hopper. After steam flaking, both contents of aflatoxin $B_1$ in USCW and IDCW were 0.00 ppb. It means that Aspergillus flavus could be decreased by steam flaking. However, this trend was not observed in ochratoxin content. The gas production rate of USA corns (USCW & USCF) was significantly (p<0.05) higher than India corns (IDCW & IDCF), and that of steam flaked corns (USCF & IDCF) was higher $1.5{\sim}2%$ than whole corns (USCW & IDCW) after 3 hr incubation in in vitro experiment. pH value was optimally maintained for microbial growth during whole incubation times with the value of 6.05 to 6.54, and was not significantly different between treatments, but USCF was somewhat lower than other treatments. pH value decreased following 12 hr of incubation but gas production increased rapidly during the same period. In addition, in vitro microbial growth rates also increased with up to 18 hr of incubation period, thereafter experienced a decrease with extended incubation time. In conclusion, US corn was superior to India corn by origin based on the results of in vitro and mycotoxin contents. And steam flaking process of imported corns tended to decrease mycotoxin contents such as aflatoxin $B_1$ and ochratoxin A as well as improve in vitro gas production and microbial growth rates.

The physicochemical and sensory characteristics of brown rice flakes by different processing conditions such as flaking Process and their heat treatments were investigated to establish the brown rice flake processing procedure. To successfully make the compressed rice grain type flakes, the most appropriate water steeping conditions were 5 hours at 60'C. The brown rice flakes by compressed flaking procedure and heat treatment with microwave toasting showed the best crispiness-texture that tested from textrometer or sensory evaluation, and there was no significant difference between the source of rice varieties. The water absorption index(WAI) of tested flakes were negatively correlated with the water soluble index( WSI) and positively correlated with bowl life. The flakes made by compressed flaking procedure and heat treatment with microwave toasting showed longer bowl life, which is the length of the time that the cereal can retain its crispness after being soaked in milk.

We have been investigated the flaking mechanism of the soda-line glass. The pH of aqueous solution approached to 10 and increased with reaction time by ion exchange reaction between Na/sup +/ ion of glass and H/sup +/ ion of aqueous solution under the conditions of below pH 9 of start solution. The relationship between the pH of solution and reaction time shows logarithm. Total dissolution reaction of glass components by OH/sup -/ ion in aqueous seems to be dominant after the pH solution reached to 10 and the dissolution rate linearly increased with reaction time. The above tow reactions are simultaneously occurred. The dissolved Ca/sup 2+/ ions are reprecipitated on the glass surface to Ca-compound. The flakes are formed by the separation of leached layer of glass due to the different thermal expansion coefficient.

Job's-tears(Coix lachryma-jobi L. var. Ma-yuen Stapf) seeds were processed to flakes by soaking, heat treatment, intermediate-moisture drying, flaking, drying, and cooking. Some functional properties of job's-tears flakes subjected to varing degree of heating were characterized by specific volume, texture, water absorption index(WAI), water solubility index(WSI), and viscosity. As degree of gelitinization increased within the intermediate range of $60{\sim}70%$, steam-cooked Job's-tears demonstrated appropriate rheological properties for further processes, resulting in increased specific volume and decreased breaking strength. However, excessive heat treatment rendered Job's-tears undesirably sticky for flaking, which caused adverse effects on the functional properties of flakes such as specific volume and breaking strength. Increasing steaming time$(5{\sim}30\;min)$ caused an increase in WAI and WSI values. Apparent viscosity of powdered flakes was increased with the extent of gelitinization as a function of heat processing. Viscosity of powdered flakes determined using the amylograph increased with the degree of heating applied to Job's-tears at low pasting temperatures, accompanied by a decrease in maximum viscosity as the pasting temperature increased.

In-situ observation in SBM on the microfracture behavior of coating layer was performed for GA steel sheets that have various Fe contents and thickness of coating layer. In case of cross sectional side of coating layer that was in a tensile stress state during bending, fine perpendicular crack pre-induced during galvannealing grew and propagated rapidly toward the coating surface with the increase of strain. And then it grew and propagated along the ${\Gamma}/Fe$ matrix interface, and combined with the nearest another perpendicular crack. Consequently, flaking occurred. The more Fe content and thickness of coating layer increased, the more average crack interval and flaking resistivity increased. Exfoliation was little observed at coating surface in a tensile stress state.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of steam flaking of corn grains on in situ dry matter degradability in the rumen and contents of mycotoxins (aflatoxin, ochratoxin) during storage. Yellow dent corns imported from USA and India were flaked, and stored for 8 weeks under the standard temperature and pressure (STP; $25^{\circ}C$/ 1 atm.). Experimental treatments were composed of four corn grains (untreated-USA corn, USCW; steam flaked-USA corn, USCF; untreated-India corn, IDCW; steam flaked-India corn, IDCF) with 4 replications according to 9 storage periods (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 week). Two ruminally cannulated Holstein bulls were used for in situ trial. Pathogen contamination trial was performed by comparing the mycotoxin contents in corns during storage periods. Dry matter disappearance rate in the rumen was about 3.0 to 44.1% higher (P<0.05) for USCW than IDCW, but was not difference between USCF and IDCF. With steam flaking of corn, dry matter degradability in the rumen was significantly (P<0.05) increased in corn from India, but was not affected in corn from USA. Aflatoxin content was very low level in corns from USA and steam flaked corns, but was higher than the tolerance limit of domestic aflatoxin content regulation when IDCW was stored over 6 week under STP. Ochratoxin content was low level in all treatments. From above results, it is reasonable that the corn imported from India might be flaked for enhance the ruminal DM degradability and safe from aflatoxin pathogen.
