The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of green tea extract on probiotic potential, physico-chemical and functional properties of yogurt fermented with Lactobacillus acidophilus D11 or Lactobacillus fermentum D37 strains isolated from Doenjang. Probiotic activities such as the resistance to artificial digestive juices and the ability to adhere to epithelial cells were slightly higher in yogurt supplemented with green tea extract than in plain yogurt, which may be attributed to the increase in the number of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) by green tea extract supplementation. Furthermore, the microbiological and physico-chemical properties such as the number of LAB, organic acid production and viscosity were significantly (P<0.05) increased in yogurt added green tea extract compared to plain yogurt fermented with L. acidophilus D11. However, the green tea extract did not significantly (P>0.05) affect these properties of yogurt fermented with L. fermentum D37 strain. Meanwhile, the antibacterial activities against Escherichia coli O157 ATCC 43889, Salmonella enteritidis ATCC 13076, and Salmonella typhimurium KCTC 2514 and antioxidant activities including total phenol content, radical scavenging ability, and ferric-reducing antioxidant power were significantly higher in plain yogurt fermented with L. fermentum D37 than with L. acidophilus D11. The antibacterial and antioxidant activities of the yogurt were significantly (P<0.05) increased in proportion to the concentration of green tea extract added to plain yogurt. Consequently, green tea yogurt fermented with L. acidophilus D11 or L. fermentum D37 was considered to be a useful functional food that can inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria and scavenge the free radicals from the body cells.

Nine new species of Pseudanthessius are described from tropical waters, five of which from the Philippines (P. boholensis n. sp., P. angustus n. sp., P. firmus n. sp., P. ardius n. sp., and P. lativentris n. sp.), two from Vietnam (P. remicaudatus n. sp. and P. nodosus n. sp.), and one each from Micronesia (P. kosraensis n. sp.) and the Thai coast of the Andaman Sea (P. fossulicolus n. sp.). Pseudanthessius dentatus Kim, 2000 which was known originally from the Korean coast of the Yellow Sea, and P. planus Kim, 2007 originally from the Moluccas, are rediscovered on the Thai coast of the Andaman Sea and the Philippines, respectively.

A study was conducted on the effects of ploughing on physiological responses of male and female Bali-cattle. A $2{\times}2{\times}6{\times}8$ factorial design (2 seasons, 2 sexes, 6 days and 8 consecutive time of measurements every 30 minutes) was employed. Responses during the cool/humid season were lower than hot/dry; respiration rate (RR) was 52 vs 75/min, rectal temperature(RT) was 39.1 vs $39.5^{\circ}C$ and skin temperature (ST) was 37.1 vs $37.6^{\circ}C$. Within sexes, males were less tolerant than females in that their RR (66 vs 61 breath/min), RT (39.4 vs $39.2^{\circ}C$) and ST (37.6 vs $37.1^{\circ}C$) were each higher than females during work. With increasing time, during the average 2.5 h working period gradual increases in RR, RT and ST were recorded and the overall increases of 84 breath/min, $1.9^{\circ}C$ and $13.8^{\circ}C$ respectively (p < 0.001). Packed cell volume (PCV) data indicated significant difference between sexes, time and season (p < 0.001, p < 0.05 and p < 0.001 respectively). Within time (before and after 2.5 h working) the PCV decreased from 27.4 to 25.6%.

Microbial lipases are used widely in the synthesis of various compounds due to their substrate specificity and position specificity. 4-Ethyl malate (4-EM) made from diethyl malate (DEM) is an important starting material used to make argon fluoride (ArF) photoresist. We tested several microbial lipases and found that Photobacterium lipolyticum M37 lipase position-specifically hydrolyzed DEM to produce 4-EM. We purified the reaction product through silica gel chromatography and confirmed that it was 4-EM through nuclear magnetic resonance analysis. To mass-produce 4-EM, DEM hydrolysis reaction was performed using an enzyme reactor system that could automatically control the temperature and pH. Effects of temperature and pH on the reaction process were investigated. As a result, 50℃ and pH 4.0 were confirmed as optimal reaction conditions, meaning that M37 was specifically an acid lipase. When the substrate concentration was increased to 6% corresponding to 0.32 M, the reaction yield reached almost 100%. When the substrate concentration was further increased to 12%, the reaction yield was 81%. This enzyme reactor system and position-specific M37 lipase can be used to mass-produce 4-EM, which is required to synthesize ArF photoresist.

Beverages using mountain edible herbs(MEH) were formulated by determining optimum ratio of juices of MEH to several other ingredients. Fermented beverages were made by mixing juices(1 volume) fermented with Lactobacillus helverticus with syrup(3 volumes), followed by homogenization and flavoring . The general analysis and quality change of the beverages during storage were Peformed. The analysis of the beverages showed that the pH of Synurus deltoides and Cirsium sctidens were 3.8 and 3.7, titratable acidities were 0.50 and 0.49, optical densities were 1.201 and 1.119, respectively, The pH and color were not significantly changed when Synurus deltoides and Cirsium sctidens were stored at room temperature and 37$^{\circ}C$ for 6 months. The pH of Synurs deltoides beverage ranged 3.95~3.96 and pH of Cirsium sctidens was 3.83~3.95 at room temperature and 3.87~3.98 at 37$^{\circ}C$, respectively. The analysis of fermented beverages showed that pHs of Synurus deltoides and Cirsium sctidens were 3.65 and 3.70, titratable acidities were 0.57 and 0.60. Solids-non-fat were 3.2 and 3.1, and total counts of lactic acid bacteria were 2.5$\times$10$^{8}$ and 4.0$\times$10$^{8}$ , respectively. The changes of pH and titratable acidities stored at 4$^{\circ}C$ for 15 days were 3.39~3.56 and 0.61~0.81 for Synurus deltoides and 3.48~3.67 and 0.60~0.78 for Cirsium sctidens, respectively.

박막태양전지는 p-i-n substrate형과 n-i-p substrate형 두가지구조로 제조된다. 각 layer에서 activation energy와 band gap energy를 ASA simulator를 통해 조절해보았다. Simulation결과 p-i-n substrate형에서 p-layer와 n-i-p substrate형 n-layer에서 동일하게 activation energy 0.2eV, band gap energy 1.80eV에 최고효율 나왔고 각각 10.07%, 10.17%의 최고효율을 구할 수 있었다. 최적화 과정을 통하여 같은 조건에서 p-i-n substrate형 보다 n-i-p substrate형이 보다 높은 효율을 낸다는 것을 알 수 있었으며 본 연구를 통해 각 구조의 차이를 알 수 있었고 이는 높은 효율의 박막태양전지 설계에 도움이 될 것 이다.

Crosslinked poly(glycerol-co-malate)s were synthesized from L-malic acid in Krebs cycle and glycerol. The synthesized polymer was identified by FT-IR spectroscopy. Swelling degrees of the copolymer hydrogels were increased with an increase in pH of the aqueous solution. Hydrolytic behaviors of the crosslinked copolymers were investigated in various pH buffer solutions at 37${\circ}C$. The Hydrolysis of the copolymers proceeded faster with increasing pH of the aqueous solution. Releasing behaviors of the model drug such as diclofenac monosodium salt were also measured in various pH aqueous solutions at 37${\circ}C$. The release concentration of diclofenac monosodium salt from the hydrogel systems was increased with increasing pH. These facts indicate that the unreacted carboxyl and hydroxyl groups in the copolymers are greatly affected by pH in the conditions.

The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of rosemary oil inhalation on memory, attention and autonomic nervous system according to the concentration difference in the aged. The research design was non-equivalent control group non-synchronized design. Participants were 89 individuals aged 65 or older who live in the community. Participants inhaled almond carrier oil(control group), 10%(experimental group A) and 100%(experimental group B) rosemary oil. Memory, attention, and autonomic nervous system responses were measured. Data were analyzed by SPSS win 24.0. The differences of the group and time were analyzed through repeated measure ANOVA. There were no significant differences in immediate recall (F=.42, p =.656), delayed recall (F=.45, p=.639), recognition (F=1.45, p=.242), digit span-forward (F=1.53, p=.223), digit span-backward (F=.46, p=.636), activities of sympathetic nerve system (LF)(F=.19, p=.828), activities of parasympathetic nerve system (HF)(F=.37, p=.694), LH/HF(F=1.39, p=.256), systolic blood pressure (F=.37, p=.694), diastolic blood pressure (F=1.25, p=.291). The inhalation of 10% and 100% rosemary oil for five minutes showed no significant effects on memory, attention and automatic nervous system in the aged.
