  • To shorten the production cycle of Zaodan, this study first pickled Zaodan by a novel technology - vacuum decompression technology. Vacuum decompression technology could reduce the pickling time of Zaodan from 20 wk to about 9 wk. The protein content, moisture and pH of the Zaodan egg white gradually decreased with a concomitant increase in salt during the pickling process. The total sulfhydryl group (SH) group content of the egg white proteins was increased to $2.43{\times}10^{-3}mol/L$ after being pickled for 30 d, whereas the content of disulphide bonds (SS) was reduced to $23.35{\times}10^{-3}mol/L$. The surface hydrophobicity was lowest after pickling for 30 d. In addition, great changes occurred in the secondary structure of the egg white proteins after pickling for 20 d. The disappearance of ovomucin was noticeable based on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis.

  • Recently, construction accidents have occurred due to illegal water addition and insufficient quality control at domestic construction sites. In this study, the void content test method proposed in ASTM C 642 was used to provide a reference guideline for evaluation on the quality control status of cast-in-place structural concrete. For this purpose, simulated structural concrete for coring purpose was prepared in addition to the concrete cylindrical specimens with the same formulation, and the changes in compressive strength, elastic modulus, and void content related to coring were evaluated. According to experimental results, the compressive strength and modulus of elasticity were reduced by coring, which was associated with the generation of microcracks during coring. With respect to void content, the difference in void content between the cylindrical specimen and the cored specimen was up to 1.69%. If this value is used as a correction factor, it is possible to estimate the real void content of the cast-in-place structural concrete. By comparing this with the void content obtained from cylindrical concrete specimens, it is possible to evaluate the quality control status and amount of illegal water addition on the structural concrete.

  • To evaluate the effects of amylose content and dissolution media on the molecular structure of maize starch, changes in the hydrodynamic diameter of starch molecules were assessed via dynamic light scattering depending on amylose content and dissolution media. As the amylose content of starch increased, the hydrodynamic diameter of starch molecules proportionally decreased from 204 to 92 nm. To alter ionic strength, hydrogen bonding, or polarity of dissolution media, various contents of NaCl (1, 2, or 3 M), urea (1, 2, or 3 M), or 1-butanol (0.1, 0.5, or 1.0%) were added to media, respectively, resulting in increased hydrodynamic diameter of starch. However, the degree of expansion was dependent on amylose content and the concentration and/or type of additive. The hydrodynamic diameter of starch molecules exhibited significant correlation with amylose content obtained by size exclusion chromatography, regardless of dissolution conditions.

  • The purpose of this experiment was to compare the effects of tryptophan administration on nutritional status of female rats which consumed reserpine and 6% casein diet with different carbohydrate contents(87%, 65%, 44% respective). Final body weight, body weight gain, FER, plasma amino acid concentration and microsomal cytochrome P 450 content in liver were measured and microscopic structure of hepatocytes was observed. In low-protein diet, the higher the carbohydrate content of diet was, the lower the damage was in the rat's liver. Tryptophan administration after dose of reserpine induced more effective recovery from liver damage of rats in high carbohydrate diet group than that in low carbohydrate diet group. In conclusion, the general nutritional assessments such as final body weight and body weight gain provided better estimate of the degree of structural changes in hepatocytes than functional assessment such as plasma amino acid concentration or liver microsomal cytochrome P450.

  • Though the history of fisheries business administration education has it's own uniqueness, the research or study of that still insufficient. And in spite of the structural shift of society and environmental diversity, there's few research that analyzing or examining the curricular constitution and change recently. The process of this research was implemented with investigating the objective and content domains concerning marine education in the fisheries and marine curriculum and changes of them. The changes of fisheries business administration education reviewed and analyzed in the view point of construction of the textbook, contents of the each changes and recency comparison of tables and figures of the high school textbook of the fisheries business administration general. The results show that most of the changes have been reflected by the demands of the society including fisheries related law, policy and distribution networks. But there are still some errors and necessity of improvements in data and descriptions. The results of this study would help develop sustainable curriculum design for further changes and give more effective guidelines for identifying the core of fisheries business administration education.

  • Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is the major polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) in the brain and a structural component of neuronal membranes. Changes in DHA content of neuronal membranes lead to functional changes in the activity of receptors and other proteins which might be associated with synaptic function. Accumulating evidence suggests the beneficial effects of dietary DHA supplementation on neurotransmission. This article reviews the beneficial effects of DHA on the brain; uptake, incorporation and release of DHA at synapses, effects of DHA on synapses, effects of DHA on neurotransmitters, DHA metabolites, and changes in DHA with age. Further studies to better understand the metabolome of DHA could result in more effective use of this molecule for treatment of neurodegenerative or neuropsychiatric diseases.

  • The objective of this study is to obtain the basic data for investigating the potentiality of continuous utilization (first cutting in the late fall and regrowth yield in next spring) of forage rape seeded in fall. Non-structural carbohydrates(NSC) in leaves and roots of forage rape seeded on Oct. 3 were analyzed during a growth period. The greatest change in NSC content was observed between the wintering and the early spring period. The total content of soluble sugar in leaves and roots highly increased from the late fall(Nov. 7) to the wintering period (Feb. 4), and then rapidly decreased on the early regrow^ period(Mar. 31). The contents of fructose and glucose were relatively lower, and their quantitative change also was smaller than those of other sugars through entire growth period. The highest accumulation of sucrose occured hum the late fall to wintering period, and then greatly decreased in the early regrowth period. Sucrose content in roots was 2.3 times higher than that of leaves in wintering period. Starch was the largest pool of NSC and its content in leaves and roots showed a similar pattern with that of sucrose through entire growth period. Starch contents in leaves and roots were 38mg and 189mgl gDM in the late fall(Nov. 7), 187 and 497mg/gDM(Feb. 4) in the wintering period and 69 and 79mglgDM(Mar. 28) in the early regrowth period, respectively. The results clearly showed that the main reserve forms of NSC are starch and sucrose, and that they are hlghly stored in roots in overwintering forage rape.

  • In this paper, the elastic epoxy added elastomer having viscoelasticity to existing epoxy was measured thermal, structural properties through TGA(Thermogravimetric Analysis) and FESEM(Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope). Specimens were made of dumbbell forms by the ratio of 5[phr], 10[phr], 15[phr], and 20[phr] by regulation with elastomer contents. The measurement temperature dimensions of TGA were $0[^{\circ}C]\;to\;800[^{\circ}C]$, and rising temperature was $5[^{\circ}C/min]$. And we observed structure through FESEM at the magnification of 1000times with the voltage of 15[kV] after breaking by quenching specimens. As thermal analysis results, we could know that thermal and structural properties was improved quantity according to decrease of elastomer contents. In general, thermal, structural properties of 15[phr] was excellent among the specimens.

  • The results of field experiments with mesocosms on Lake Baikal, containing natural plankton assemblage, and laboratory experiments with microcosms containing Daphnia magna and Chlorella vulgaris demonstrated decrease of the structural exergy of the communities after the addition of allochtonous compounds peptone, diesel oil, o-diphenol, $CdCl_2$ to mesocosmsassemblage, phenol, $CoCl_2$ and $CuSO_4$ to micro-cosms. Structural exergy changes were more expressed than changes of components biomasses and total biomass of the community. Comparison of exergy content for benthos in cleanand affected by the discharges of Baikalsk Pulp and Paper Combine also showed sufficient docrease of structural exergy in polluted area. It points to the possibility of the use of structural exergy as ecosystem health reflecting parameter.

  • In this report, the structural and optical properties of sol-gel derived $Mg_xZn_{1-x}O$ thin films upon changes in the composition and annealing temperature were investigated. The $Mg^{2+}$ content and the annealing temperature were varied in the range of $0{\leq}x{\leq}0.35$ and $400^{\circ}C{\leq}T{\leq}600^{\circ}C$, respectively. The films exhibited a hexagonal wurtzite structure of a polycrystalline nature. The optical transmittance exceeded 85% and the optical band gap of the film was tuned as high as 3.84 eV at a value of x = 0.35 (annealed at $400^{\circ}C$), which was evidently the maximum $Mg^{2+}$ content for the single-phase polycrystalline $Mg_xZn_{1-x}O$ thin films prepared in this experiment. The optical band gap and photoluminescence emission were tailored to the higher energy side while maintaining crystallinity without a significant change of the lattice constant.
