  • In this study, effective gene extraction methods were compared to identify raw materials of processed meat products through molecular biological methods. Species specific primers were used to identify ingredients of processed foods and, as a sample, 13 kinds of processed meat products including beef, pork and chicken. According to the type of sample, 13 kinds of samples were classified into liquid type, source type and powder type. The samples were pre-treated (centrifugation) and (or) performed Whole Gene Amplification (WGA) kit for amplification of the extracted DNA. As a result, it was possible to identify the raw material of products through the centrifugation of sample 1 ml for liquid type of processed meat products. For source type of products after gene extraction, it was required to perform WGA for the identification of ingredients. For powder type products did not required any further pre-treatment and WGA. In this study, it was an opportunity to confirm the possibility of identification of raw material from the gene extraction of processed meat products and this method could be used to examine the authenticity of raw material of products.

  • Owing to the changing climate and recent flood events, flood damage caused by river levee collapse and overflow is on the rise in Korea, making it necessary to enhance river levee maintenance technologies to deal with various flood damage scenarios. This paper proposes the evaluation system of a river-levee safety map to improve maintenance efficiency and disaster responsiveness. A river-levee safety map, indicating sliding, piping, visual inspection, scouring, and safety index of a levee fill material on a GIS map will enable the dangerous zone to be identified visually and the development of proactive measures to deal with it. This will maximize the river-levee maintenance efficiency, which is a break from traditional practice in that restoration measures are taken only after the damage has occurred. This study includes scouring and levee fill material in addition to previously-proposed sliding, piping and visual inspections. The research activities conducted in the study include 1) categorization of scouring and levee fill material based on document and data examination, 2) evaluation of sliding and piping at 5 locations on the left levee in the Nam river according to the duration time of the flood water level, and 3) evaluation of the characteristics of scouring and levee fill material at 9 locations on the left/right levee in the Nam River. The river levee safety map proposed in this study would be more useful and practical but further study on the manual for river management organization, repair and reinforcement methods, and budget is required.

  • The material of the dental prosthesis was required bio-compatibility for biological, chemical, and physical stabilities. This study was conducted the stability evaluation of mechanical, biological characteristics through comparing Co-Cr alloy(SC group), Ti alloy(ST group) made by the selective laser melting method with Co-Cr alloy(CC group), Ni-Cr alloy(CN group) made by the casting method. Modulus of elasticity for mechanical characteristic evaluation was measured by the tensile test. And we conducted the release material analysis using lactic acid-NaCl solution for the evaluation of biological stability and were observed cytotoxicity through the content of this release medium. Taking these results into account, the Co-Cr alloy made by the selective laser melting method was observed modulus of elasticity higher than he Co-Cr alloy made by the casting method. And the Co-Cr alloy made by the selective laser melting method had more superior biological stability than the other groups as the result of cytotoxicity evaluation through the release material analysis. By this results, we think that alloys made by the selective laser melting method can be applied as materials for making the dental prosthesis.

  • This paper assesses the suitability of existing standards for plastic material models and performance level evaluation methods in seismic performance evaluations of concrete dam piers during Maximum Credible Earthquakes (MCE). Dynamic plastic analysis was conducted to examine the applicability of the plastic material model under various conditions. As a result reveal that when the minimum reinforcement ratio is not met, the average stress-average strain method recommended in current dam seismic performance evaluation guidelines tends to underestimate pier responses compared to the predicted outcomes of dynamic elastic analysis. Consequently, the paper proposes an improvement plan that treats dam piers with an insufficient minimum reinforcement ratio as unreinforced and integrates fracture energy into concrete tensile behavior characteristics for performance level evaluation. Implementing these improvements can lead to more conservative evaluation outcomes compared to current seismic performance evaluation methods.

  • Surimi-like samples were divided into four groups (C, surimi-like material made from Alaska Pollack with all cryoprotectant ingredients; T1, surimi-like material made from chicken breast with sugar and a sorbitol-free cryoprotectant; T2, surimi-like material made from chicken breast with a sugar-free cryoprotectant; T3, surimi-like material made from chicken breast with all cryoprotectant ingredients). Water and protein content were lower in Alaska Pollack surimi-like material (C) than those in chicken breast surimi-like material. Centrifuge loss and cooking loss were higher in C than those in chicken breast surimi-like material. Lipid oxidation (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) was lower in T3 than others during storage. In a sensory evaluation, overall acceptability was significantly higher in C than those in other samples during storage. As a result, we found that the raw material composition (Alaska Pollack or chicken breast) had a large influence on the physico-chemical characteristics and quality of surimi-like materials, whereas cryoprotectant composition may have less influence on the physico-chemical characteristics and quality of surimi-like materials.

  • The goal of this study is to evaluate and design steel plates with optimal material distributions achieved through a specific material topology optimization by using a CCARAT (Computer Aided Research Analysis Tool) as an optimizer, topologically optimally updating node densities as design variables. In typical material topology optimization, optimal topology and layouts are described by distributing element densities (from almost 0 to 1), which are arithmetic means of node densities. The average element densities are employed as material properties of each element in finite element analysis. CCARAT may deal with material topology optimization to address the mean compliance problem of structural mechanical problems. This consists of three computational steps: finite element analysis, sensitivity analysis, and optimality criteria optimizer updating node densities. The present node density based design via CCARAT using node densities as design variables removes jagged optimal layouts and checkerboard patterns, which are disadvantages of classical material topology optimization using element densities as design variables. Numerical applications that topologically optimize reinforcement material distribution of steel plates of a cantilever type are studied to verify the numerical superiority of the present node density based design via CCARAT.

  • Previous research has explored early expression of fire signs before the burning of insulation. To achieve this, typically, automatic inspections are used to detect gas emitted from odor capsules at electrical connection points; additionally, early fire signs can be expressed using visual inspection of changes in the appearance of temperature caps. However, early detection of electrical fire is often difficult because only specific inspections, which are not complex, are performed. Therefore, in this paper, we present complex inspection techniques, such as visual inspection, odor inspection, and automatic inspection, and propose a showing material of fire signs that can solve conventional problems. In addition, this study examines the conditions under which the candidate material for the showing material is designed, the composition of the candidate material selected based on the designed conditions, the manufacturing means used to produce the showing material considering the temperature for early expression of fire signs, and the performance of the produced showing material. Furthermore, we analyze various effects that can occur through the proposed display material.
