These studies were carried out to investigate the quality of green tea processed by different 1st-pan-firing time and to select the best conditions of green tea processing. The results were as follows. At harvesting tea plant leaf, tea plants had 4 leaves, each leaf size was $6.4cm\;{\times}\;2.4cm$, and weight of 100 buds was 40.2g. The content of moisture of green tea was decreased with the prolongation of 1st-pan-firing time, and the yield of green tea at 10 min. pan-firing time was the highest value of 20.12%. After processing green tea, 1st 10 min. pan-fired one had much more contents of total nitrogen(TN 5.41%) and total amino acid(T.A.A; 3,282mg/100g) and less content of tannin(13.22%) and caffeine(1.64%) than the other treatments. The content of chlorophyll and vitamin C went down with the extension of 1st pan-firing period. Sixteen kinds of free amino acid including theanine as a good taste component of green tea were isolated and measured by HPLC. T.A.A contents were in the range of $2,447{\sim}3,192mg/100g$ and among various pan-firing methods, 10 min. 1st pan-fired one had the highest content of T.A.A. The taste-determinants such as theanine, aspartic acid, serine, glutamic acid and arginine in green tea liquor, occupied as much as $89.4{\sim}90.0%$ of T.A.A.s. Among these, theanine was more than 50%, Lightness and yellowness of green tea were increased with delay of pan-firing time, while green color appeared to be more distinct at 10 min. 1st pan -firing time than other treatments. Besides, it gained the highest score of sensory evaluation among them. These above results suggested that 10 min. pan-fired green tea was considered to be the best level as pan-firing time of green tea processing.

These studies were carried out to investigate the quality of green tea processed by different pan-firing hand rolling and to select the best conditions during the procedure of green tea processing the results were as follows. At harvestion tea plant leaf, tea plants had 4 leaves. each leaf size was 7.5 cm'$\square$2.6 cm, and weight of 100 buds 46.6 g. The increase of pan-fired time decreased in the moisture content and yield of green tea. After processing green tea, 5 times pan-fired one had much more contents of total nitrogen (T-N:5.31%), caffeine (2.00%) and total amino acid (T.A.A. : 3,046 mg%) and less content of tannin (13.41%) than the other treatments. but 3 times pan-fired one had the highest contents of vitamin C (204.3 mg%) and chlorophyll (365.0 mg%) among three kinds pan-firing method. Sixteen kinds of free amino acid including theanine as a good taste component of pan-fired green tea were isolated and measured by HPLC. Free amino acid (FAA) contents were in the range of $2,683{\sim}2,925$ mg% and among various pan-firing methods, 5 tims pan-fired one had the highest content of F.A.A. Among these free amino acids, theanine occupied as much as $56.4{\sim}61.3%$ of F.A.A. Lightness, yellowness and redness of 5 times pan-fired green tea were middle value among three different treatments. Besides, it gained the highest score of sensory evaluation among them. These above results suggested that 5 times pan-fired green tea was considered to be the best level as pan-firing times of green tea processing.

In this study, Chrysanthemum indicum L. flower tea was prepared according to different pan-firing times (5, 7.5, 10, 12.5, and 15 min) and its quality characteristics were investigated. Total nitrogen and tannin contents increased with increasing pan-firing time, whereas chlorophyll and total amino acid (AA) contents decreased. The total AA contents of the samples ranged from 6,399 to 7,068 mg%, and the highest content (7,068 mg%) was found with the 10 min panfiring treatment. The AAs occurring in the C. indicum L. flower tea included glutamic acid and aspartic acid, which are desirable flavor components. As the pan-firing time increased, antioxidant activity as well as total polyphenol and flavonoid contents increased. The highest total polyphenol and flavonoid contents were found in the 15 min treatment at levels of 13.85 mg tannic acid equiv./g and 9.77 mg catechin equiv./g, respectively. The 15 min pan-firing treatment also had the highest total antioxidant activity at 19.33 mg ascorbic acid equiv. eg/100 g. Finally, based on sensory evaluations, the 10 min pan-fired C. indicum L. flower tea had the best overall quality.

This research suggested smart fire recognition system which trances firing location with CCD camera with wired/wire-less TCP/IP function and Pan/Tilt function, delivers information in real time to android system installed by smart mobile communication system and controls fire and disaster remotely. To embody suggested method, firstly, algorithm which applies hue saturation intensity (HSI) Transform for input video, eliminates surrounding lightness and unnecessary videos and segmentalized only firing videos was suggested. Secondly, Pan/Tilt function traces accurate location of firing for proper control of firing. Thirdly, android communication system installed by mobile function confirms firing state and controls it. To confirm the suggested method, 10 firing videos were input and experiment was conducted. As the result, all of 10 videos segmentalized firing sector and traced all of firing locations.

In this study, sorghum teas were prepared from Sorghum bicolor L. Moench subjected to different types of milling (no milling (0%), minimum milling (5%), and milling (20%)) and pan-firing times (1 to 10 minutes), and its quality characteristics were investigated. With regards to milling type, total polyphenolic, flavonoid, tannin contents, and antioxidant activities of ethanol extracts from both no milling sorghum and its tea were highest, followed by minimum milling and milling in decreasing order. Crude nitrogen content was highest in milling sorghum and its tea regardless of pan-firing time. With regards to pan-firing time, total polyphenolic, flavonoid, tannin contents, and antioxidant activities of sorghum teas increased with increasing pan-firing time regardless of milling type. The highest DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities were observed at a pan-firing time between 7 to 9 minutes. In contrast to ethanol extracts of pan-fried sorghum tea, antioxidant activities, chromaticity, and turbidity of hot water leaching liqueur of sorghum tea were highest in milling sorghum tea, followed by minimum milling and no milling sorghum tea.

Substantia nigra is known to highly express glibenclamide binding site, a protein associated to ATP-sensitive $K^{+}$ ($K_{ATP}$) channel in the brain. However, the functional expression of $K_{ATP}$ channels in the area is not yet known. In this work, we attempted to estimate the functional expression of $K_{ATP}$ channels in neurons of the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNC) in young rats using slice patch clamp technique. Membrane properties and whole cell currents attributable to $K_{ATP}$ channel were examined by the current and voltage clamp method, respectively. In SNC, two sub-populations of neurons were identified. Type I (rhythmic) neurons had low frequency rebound action potentials ($4.5{\pm}0.25Hz$, n=75) with rhythmic pattern. Type II (phasic) neurons were characterized by faster firing ($22.7{\pm}3.16Hz$, n=12). Both time constants and membrane capacitance in rhythmic neurons ($34.0{\pm}1.27$ ms, $270.0{\pm}11.83$ pF) and phasic neurons ($23.7{\pm}4.16$ ms, $184{\pm}35.2$ pF) were also significantly different. The current density of $K_{ATP}$ channels was $6.1{\pm}1.47$ pA/pF (2.44~15.43 pA/pF, n=8) at rhythmic neurons of young rats. Our data show that in SNC there are two types of neurons with different electrical properties and the density of $K_{ATP}$, channel of rhythmic neuron is about 600 channels per neuron.
