This study was carried out to investigate the effect of storage period on the physico-chemical properties of tobacco leaves expanded by $CO_2$. The flue-cured and burley tobacco leaves produced from 1996 to 1999 were processed, and stored for that year or 3 years in processing plant. As compared with 1996 crop, the expanded rate of flue-cured tobacco leaves in 1999 crop was higher approximately 18%, while that of burley was higher about 10%. The filling capacity of cigarettes was decreased as storage time became shorter, but the combustibility was improved. The rate of large particles (over 3.36mm) of expanded tobacco showed decreasing tendency as the storage period became longer. The change rate of chemical contents in tobacco leaves between before and after expansion had no significant difference among corp years. The tar and CO contents of cigarettes smoke were reduced in the case of flue-cured tobacco leaves as storage time became shorter, while they were slightly increased in the case of burley tobacco leaves. The ammonia content of burley leaves was decreased remarkably in 1996 and 1999 crop.

Cigarette filters containing Brassica Rapa L. seeds of the dark brown and round shaped were evaluated to determine the effect of seed addition on filter degradability. The seeds with germination capability under the tar/nicotine condition in the preliminary test, were put into the active carbon part of the filter(12mm) during filter rod making by the kit. The $4{\pm}2$ pieces of the seeds were put into the opened fiber bundle of the filter tow. In order to test the germination rate of the seeds, seed filters were placed either in a petri dish or test-pot in a conditioned area ($25^{\circ}C$, 70 % RH). The seed filters were placed outdoors exposed to natural conditions with the periodic water supply. The seeds in the smoked filters showed 90 % germination rate after a month under the open air condition. No significant differences in the sensory evaluation and analysis were obtained when the control sample was compared to the same cigarettes with the seeds.

The modification of coal-tar pitch has been carried out by heat treatment of pitch at different temperatures in the range ($300^{\circ}-400^{\circ}C$) for different times (2-5 hrs) in air and nitrogen. The pitch heat treated in air at lower temperature ($300^{\circ}C$) exhibit increase in softening point by $20^{\circ}C$ as compared to only $2^{\circ}C$ when treated in nitrogen. The changes are faster in air than in pure nitrogen. Pitch as such as well as after heat treatment were further treated with metal complexes by solution route. Silver intake has been found to increase from 0.5 to 0.8 % in nitrogen treated pitch while the uptake is found to decrease for pitches treated in air at $350^{\circ}C$ for 5 hrs. Experiments have also been made to incorporate silver into PAN and PAN-ox fibers through solution route. The metal intake has been found to be more in PAN-ox fibers than in PAN as such. Metal loaded carbon composites have been made by using metal loaded fibers as well as cokes. These composites as such exhibit higher surface oxygen complexes but decrease after activation.

There are over 4,000 different chemicals in cigarette smoke, including nicotine and tar. These compounds influence on lung tissue directly or indirectly. In this study, we have examined whether an aqueous extract of Se-Yeon-Eum (SYE), composed of Oriental medicine that has been known to be effective to symptom by smoking, inhibits nicotine- or cigarette smoke extract (CSE)-induced cytotoxicity in human embryonic lung fibroblast, MRC-9. Assessment of cell viability using 3-(4,5-dimethythiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide colorimetric assay indicated that SYE inhibited not only nicotine-induced cytotoxicity but also CSE-induced cytotoxicity. These results suggest the possibility that the use of SYE may be useful for improvement of many symptoms by smoking.

The bulk curing experiment to the improve the quality of flue-cured leaves were carried out to evaluate relationship between cyclic curing and conventional curing method. We studied the effect of the cyclic change of wet bulb temperature at the yellowing stage of flue curing on chemical properties of cured leaves. The wet bulb temperature was automatically controlled between preset high($38^{\circ}C$) and low point ($35^{\circ}C$) everyone hour cyclically during 12 hours after starting luring. As a result, the acceleration of the increase in the chemical properties of cured leaves were observed. As to the chemical properties, there was decreased in citric acid, increased in malic acid of the nonvolatile organic acids and all higher fatty acids content of leaves cured by this method compared with in that of conventional curing method, while a major chemical compounds in relation to aromatic essence of cigarette smoke in essential oil components of lured leaves was mostly higher in this method than those of conventional ones, and it was evaluated that there was decreased in CO, TPM, Tar, and $CO_2$ content of the cigarette smoke comparing to the conventional luring method.

Dyslipidemia is an important CHD risk factor in diabetic patients. We conducted this study to assess the pattern of dyslipidemia in type 2 diabetes patients, to examine the demographic and clinical factors associated with dyslipidemia and to evaluate attaining within the lipid target goals and treatment strategies. A retrospective analysis was conducted among patents diagnosed type 2 diabetes at outpatient clinic in endocrinology between January 2003 and December 2004. Clinical history and physical examination were reviewed and laboratory data including blood glucose, HbAlc, lipid levels were recorded sequentially at least 1 year. In 882 patients with type 2 diabetes, 437 patients (49.6%) have dyslipidemia and 73% of them (319 patients) received lipid-lowering agents. 244 patients (94 males, 150 females, mean age 60 years old) were susceptible to analyses. The most frequent pattern of dyslipidemia is high LDL level and high TG levels (28%). Metabolic syndrome and macrovascular complication were significant negative independent association with lipid levels within the target goals (p<0.05). Only 15.2% (19 males, 18 females) attained within the lipid tar- get goals. Patients with diabetic dyslipidemia need maximization of lipid-lowering agents, increasing the fibric acid derivatives prescription and the effort to correction of low HDL and/or high TG.

An electrochemical evaluation on the corrosion resistance for heavy anticorrosive paint was carried out for 5 kinds of heavy anticorrosive paints such as High solid epoxy(HE), Solvent epoxy(SE), Tar epoxy(TE), Phenol epoxy(PE), and Ceramic epoxy(CE) as parameters of DFT(Dry Film Thickness, 25${\mu}m$50${\mu}m$, solution condition(Flow of Nonflow). Corrosion current density of HE(DFT 50${\mu}m$ in case of flow condition was larger than that of nonflow condition. However, their values of the other anticorrosive paints were decreased compared to the nonflow condition. The values of AC impedance were increased with increasing of DFT regardless of kinds of anticorrosive paints. And the polarization resistance of cyclic voltammogram showed a good tendency to correspond with well the values of AC impedance measurement. HE and CE had a relatively good corrosion resistance than other heavy anticorrosive paint.

본 논문은 차량 번호판 영상을 안정적으로 추출하여 인식하는 방법으로 Fuzzy-ARTMAP 신경회로망을 이용하여 인식하는 시스템을 제안한다. 입력 영상에서 칼라정보를 이용하여 휘도값을 추출하고, 추출된 영상에서 히스토그램을 이용하여 번호판을 배경영상에서 분리하는 작업을 수행한 후, X축 영역에 축적 히스토그램을 적용하여 글자를 분리하고, Y축 영역에 축적 히스토그램을 이용하여 글자를 완전 분리하여 번호판의 문자를 분리시킨 후, 추출된 문자 영역을 Fuzzy-ARTMAP 신경망에 입력하여 문자를 인식하였다. Fuzzy-ARTMAP을 이용한 결과 기존의 다른 신경망을 이용한 것보다 문자인식 처리 시간을 단축시키고 인식률을 향상시킬 수 있었다.

Dinonylnaphthalene sulfonic acid(DNNS) 양이온 교환체와 tartaric acid 착화제를 이용하는 동적계에서 희토류원소의 용리거동을 연구하였다. 등용매 용리에서 logK' vs log$[NH^{4+}]$ 및 logK' vslog[tar-tarate]의 관계가 직선으로 나타났다. Tartaric acid에 대한 기울기 용리에서 logK' vs logR의 관계의 기울기값은 초기 농도가 낮을수록 증가하였다. DNNS 이온교환체에서 히토류 원소의 분리관 효율 및 분해능은 tartaric acid 용리제보다 ${\alpha}$-hydroxyisobutyric acid 용리제가 더 우수한 결과를 주었다.

Component analysis and physico-chemical properties of wood and rice hull vinegars were conducted in order to promote the utilization of these environment-friendly materials. Results showed that wood vinegar had higher specific gravity (2.5) and tar content (0.3%), but lower acid content (1.0%) than rice hull vinegar (1.7, 0.05% and 4.4%, respectively). GC-MS component analysis revealed that rice vinegar had higher phenol content (34%) than wood vinegar (11.49%). Acetic acid and propionic acid were also higher in rice hull vinegar. On the contrary, wood vinegar had higher Furancarboxyl aldehyde content (41.6%) than rice hull vinegar (0.67%). Thus, different results in DPPH radical electron donating-abilities were obtained due to different percent composition of each vinegar.
