To date, the quality and safety of frozen bokbunja have not been clearly assessed. To produce high-quality frozen bokbunja, the optimal freeze-thaw conditions need to be explored. The most popular cultivar (Rubus occidentalis) in Korea was selected for this study. To determine the changes in the quality of frozen R. occidentalis berries, different freezing temperatures were used. The berries were frozen at -20, -45, and $-70^{\circ}C$ immediately after harvest. The drip ratio, hardness, pH, sugar content, color, and anthocyanidin content of the frozen and thawed samples were analyzed. The drip ratio, sugar content, and hardness of the berries correlated significantly with the freezing temperatures. The color and pH of the berries were not significantly affected by the freezing conditions. Frozen leaks between cells reduced significantly with decreasing temperatures. The freeze-thawing process significantly reduced the total aerobic bacteria and inhibited the growth of yeast/mold in the berries to about 2 log scales.

Poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) have received increasing attention in biomedical and biochemical applications because of their properties such as being water-soluble and biocompatible. In this study, a PVA/CMC hydrogel applicable to artificial cartilage was prepared by a freezing-thawing technique and a gamma-ray irradiation. The solid concentration of PVA was 7 wt% and the concentration of CMC was 4 wt%. The freezing/thawing process was repeated twice and the dose of gamma-ray irradiated was 30 kGy. Results of gelation before and after gamma-ray irradiation were similar, but the swelling degree decreased and compressive strength increased. The cytotoxicity was investigated with CCK-8 assay.

There is increasingly more research focusing on the application of FRP reinforcing bars as an alternative material for steel reinforcing bars, but most such research look at short term behavior of FRP reinforced structures. In this study, the microscopic analysis and tensile behavior of Basalt and Glass FRP bars under freezing-thawing and alkaline conditions were experimentally evaluated. After 100 cycles of the freezing and thawing, the tensile strength and elastic modulus of FRP bars decreased by about 5%. In the case of microstructure of FRP bars during the initial 20 days, no significant damages of FRP bar sections were found under $20^{\circ}C$ alkaline solution; however, the specimens immersed in $60^{\circ}C$ alkaline solution were found to experience resin dissolution, fiber damage and the separation of the resin-fiber interface. In the alkaline environment, the strength decrease of about 10% occurred in the environment at $20^{\circ}C$ for 100 days, but the tensile strength of FRPs exposed for 500 days decreased by 50%. At temperature of $40^{\circ}C$ and $60^{\circ}C$, an abrupt decrease in the strength was observed at 50 and 100 days. Especially, the tensile strength decrease of Basalt fiber Reinforced Polymer bars showed more severe degradation due to the damage caused by dissolution of resin matrix and fiber swelling in alkaline solution. Therefore, in order to improve the long-term performance of the surface braided FRPr reinforcing bars, surface treatment is required to ensure alkali resistance.

Background: The clinical application of cryosurgery the management of lung cancer is limited because the response of lung at low temperature is not well understood. The purpose of this study is to investigate the response of the pulmonary tissue at extreme low temperature. Material and Method: After general anesthesia the lungs of twelve Mongrel dogs were exposed through the fifth intercostal space. Cryosurgical probe (Galil Medical, Israel) with diameter 2.4 mm were placed into the lung 20 mm deep and four thermosensors (T1-4) were inserted at 5 mm intervals from the cryoprobe. The animals were divided into group A (n=8) and group B (n=4). In group A the temperature of the cryoprobe was decreased to $-120^{\circ}C$ and maintained for 20 minutes. After 5 minutes of thawing this freezing cycle was repeated. In group B same freezing temperature was maintained for 40 minutes continuously without thawing. The lungs were removed for microscopic examination on f day after the cryosurgery. In four dogs of the group A the lung was removed 7 days after the cryosurgery to examine the delayed changes of the cryoinjured tissue, Result: In group A the temperatures of T1 and T2 were decreased to the $4.1{\pm}11^{\circ}C\;and\;31{\pm}5^{\circ}C$ respectively in first freezing cycle. During the second freezing period the temperatures of the thermosensors were decreased lower than the temperature during the first freezing time: $T1\;-56.4{\pm}9.7^{\circ}C,\;T2\;-18.4{\pm}14.2^{\circ}C,\;T3\;18.5{\pm}9.4^{\circ}C\;and\;T4\;35.9{\pm}2.9^{\circ}C$. Comparing the temperature-distance graph of the first cycle to that of the second cycle revealed the changes of temperature-distance relationship from curve to linear. In group B the temperatures of thermosensors were decreased and maintained throughout the 40 minutes of freezing. On light microscopy, hemorrhagic infarctions of diameter $18.6{\pm}6.4mm$ were found in group A. The infarction size was $14{\pm}3mm$ in group B. No viable cell was found within the infarction area. Conclusion: The conductivity of the lung is changed during the thawing period resulting further decrease in temperature of the lung tissue during the second freezing cycle and expanding the area of cell destruction.

This study was carried out to investigate the changes in internal pressure according to various freezing methods, as basic research to protect the destruction of tissues when fruits and vegetables are frozen. The rate of weight loss, caused by the freezing of fruits and vegetables, was found to be the least (0.44∼1.38％) when the immersion freezing method was applied. The difference in the rate of weight loss was the highest when freezing methods were applied to watermelon, and the freezing rate of watermelon whose moisture contents were greater have relatively greater influence on the weight loss. The difference in internal pressures was the least and caused by the volume increase and decrease, when pear, apple, and melon were frozen using the immersion freezing method, while the diffeyence the greatest when the air-blast freezing method was used. As the freezing rate was greater, the internal pressure was less. However, the internal pressure of strawberry and watermelon was the greatest when the immersion freezing method was applied. Frozen without using the thermal equalizing method, the change in internal pressure of fruits was about 2 psig. In contrast, the internal pressure of watermelon applied with the thermal equalizing method was changed in a way similar to that of watermelon not applied with the method, but the former generated a certain level of internal pressure and maintained a significantly low level of internal pressure (about 1.3 psig). When thawed, the internal pressure of samples to which the thermal equalizing method was applied was less than that of what the thermal equalizing method was not applied to. In comparison with the application of multi-step thermal equalizing method, 3∼4 times of application of the thermal equalizing method to the freezing resulted in the decrease of fluctuation range of internal pressure.

In order to have compressive strength tests and frost heaving tests, two sorts of soil samples at Chonbuk-Do area were used. According to this research, the compressive strength of soil which was mixed by quick lime, was largely increased until 28 days but after 28 days, the increment of strength was seldom found and its maximum compressive strength increasing rate for content of quick lime was $10{\sim}15%$ scope. In the mixed rates of quick lime and briquette ash, the compressive strength of soil which was mixed by quick lime and briquette ash, was increased by increasing mixed rates of quick lime and its compressive strength was increased by additional quantity. The compressive strength of mixed soil within freezing-thawing 1 cycle was diminished around 30% compared to non-freezing soil's 28 days compressive strength but there were no movements after 2 cycle.
