Objective: The aim of this work was the characterization of the qualitative aspects of meat obtained from Teramana goats, an Italian indigenous breed of the Abruzzo region. Specifically, the study included a comparison with meat samples deriving from Saanen goat kids reared in the same environment and applying the same feeding protocol. Methods: Upon reaching about 7 months of age the animals were slaughtered and samples of muscle tissue were collected to be analyzed. Specifically, meat samples were subjected to evaluations of the physical parameters, including color and the meat ability to retain water, in addition to chemical evaluations that were focused to the determination of the total lipids amount, fatty acids composition, lipid oxidation, and volatile profile. Results: The meat samples obtained from the indigenous breed showed a less intense reddish color and no significant variations for the muscle tissue tendency to retain water, both regarding fresh and cooked meat. Several differences were instead observed in the fatty acid profile. The Teramana samples were richer in saturated fatty acids (p<0.01) and interestingly showed higher concentrations of rumenic acid (p<0.05), a conjugate of linoleic acid that has been associated with important health benefits for the consumers. Another important finding for these meat samples was the marked resistance to oxidative events, as evidenced by the thiobarbituric acid reactive substances-test (p<0.05) and by the characterization of the volatile profile that highlighted a strong reduction in the relative percentage of hexanal (p<0.05), commonly associated to lipid oxidation and the development of unpleasant aromatic notes. Conclusion: The collected data, therefore appeared useful for the valorization of the food product derived from the Teramana goat, although no sensory information has been collected to define the degree of acceptability by the consumers.

탈검, 탈산, 탈색과 탈취 등의 정제 과정이 참기름에 존재하는 항산화 물질과 금속의 함량에 미치는 영향과 $70^{\circ}C$에서 저장 중 참기름의 산화 안정성과 항산화물질의 변화에 관하여 시험하였다. 철, 구리, 마그네슘 및 아연의 금속은 탈검 과정에서 거의 대부분이 제거되었다. 조참기름과 탈검유는 저장 동안에 총 휘발성 화합물의 양에 거의 변화가 없었으며, 탈산유와 탈취유는 저장 초기에서부터 총 휘발성 화합물의 양이 현저하게 증가하였다. 동정된 휘발성 산화 생성물 중 hexanal과 pentanal의 변화가 가장 뚜렷하였으며, 탈산, 탈색과 탈취 등의 정제 과정을 거친 시료들은 저장 초기에 이러한 산화 생성물의 증가가 현저하였다. Sesamin은 정제와 저장동안에 비교적 안정하였고, sesamolin은 정제 과정과 저장 중에 뚜렷하게 감소하였다. Sesamol은 탈산 과정까지는 감소하다가 탈색 과정을 거치면서 급격히 증가하였고, 탈취 과정에서 거의 제거되었다. 저장 중 sesamolin이 계속 감소되면서 sesamol의 증가가 수반되었다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of worker exposure to hazardous chemical substances and propose the direction of work environment management for protecting worker's health in the semiconductor assembly process. Methods: Four assembly lines at two semiconductor manufacturing companies were selected for this study. We investigated the types of chemicals that were used and generated during the assembly process, and evaluated the workers' exposure levels to hazardous chemicals such as benzene and formaldehyde and the current work environment management in the semiconductor assembly process. Results: Most of the chemicals used at the assembly process are complex mixtures with high molecular weight such as adhesives and epoxy molding compounds(EMCs). These complex mixtures are stable when they are used at room temperature. However workers can be exposed to volatile organic compounds(VOCs) such as benzene and formaldehyde when they are used at high temperature over $100^{\circ}C$. The concentration levels of benzene and formaldehyde in chip molding process were higher than other processes. The reason was that by-products were generated during the mold process due to thermal decomposition of EMC and machine cleaner at the process temperature($180^{\circ}C$). Conclusions: Most of the employees working at semiconductor assembly process are exposed directly or indirectly to various chemicals. Although the concentration levels are very lower than occupational exposure limits, workers can be exposed to carcinogens such as benzene and formaldehyde. Therefore, workers employed in the semiconductor assembly process should be informed of these exposure characteristics.

Background: Essential oils are of great interest for their analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. We aimed to study the content of the essential oil of the Origanum vulgare of the Armenian highlands (OVA) in different periods of vegetation and to investigate its antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects in mice (in vivo) and cytotoxic action in cultured cells (in vitro). OVA essential oil was extracted from fresh plant material by hydro-distillation. Methods: For OVA essential oil contents determination the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method was used. Formalin and hot plate tests and analysis of cell viability using the methyl-thiazolyl-tetrazolium (MTT) assay were used. Results: The maximal content of β-caryophyllene and β-caryophyllene oxide in OVA essential oil was revealed in the period of blossoming (8.18% and 13.36%, correspondently). In the formalin test, 4% OVA essential oil solution (3.5 mg/mouse) exerts significant antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects (P = 0.003). MTT assay shows approximately 60% cytotoxicity in HeLa and Vero cells for 2.0 µL/mL OVA essential oil in media. Conclusions: The wild oregano herb of Armenian highlands, harvested in the blossoming period, may be considered as a valuable source for developing pain-relieving preparations.

외래종의 유입을 막기 위해 '선박평형수와 침전물의 제어와 관리를 위한 국제협약'이 2004년에 체결되었고 이에 따라 다양한 선박평형수 관리장치가 개발되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 전기분해를 이용하여 선박평형수 내 해양생물 제거를 위한 장치로 개발된 AquaStar$^{TM}$ BWMS가 해양생태계에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 1차 생산자로서 규조류 Skeletonema costatum, 1차 소비자로서 윤충류 Brachionus plicatilis 및 포식자로서 어류(넙치) Paralichtys olivaceus를 이용하여 AquaStar$^{TM}$ BWMS의 배출수독성시험과 생성된 화학물질에 대한 환경위해성 평가를 수행하였다. 배출수독성시험결과 가장 민감한 생물은 S. costatum이었고 염분 20 psu 배출수에 노출되었을 때 NOEC 25.00%, LOEC 50.00% 및 72hr-$EC_{50}$이 69.97%였다. B. plicatilis와 P. olivaceus는 염분 20 psu 배출수에 노출되었을 때 NOEC 및 LOEC가 각각 50.00 및 100.00%였다. AquaStarTM BWMS에서 생성된 물질은 총 18개로, bromate, 7개의 volatile halogenated organic compounds, 7개의 halogenated acetic acids, 3개의 halogenated acetonitriles 및 chloropicrin이었다. 생성된 물질들의 지속성과 생물축적성을 보이는 화학물질은 없었으나, 물질의 생태독성을 평가하기에는 불확실성이 높았다. 그러나 MAMPEC 모델을 이용하여 생성된 18개 물질의 PEC는 $4.58{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}4.87{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$였고, PNEC는 $0.016{\sim}320.00{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$였으며, 18개 화확물질의 PEC/PNEC 비율은 1을 초과하지 않았다. 따라서 환경위해성평가결과는 AquaStar$^{TM}$ BWMS에 의하여 처리된 해수가 해양생태계에 수용 불가한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 전기분해를 이용하는 BWMS의 배출수에 대한 S. costatum의 $EC_{50}$은 초기 TRO농도, HAAs의 농도 및 종류수와 양의 상관관계가 있었다.

Amount of regulated emissions (CO, $NO_x$, HC), and emissions of some groups of organic substances (volatile hydrocarbons, polyaromatics, and aldehydes) were measured in the standard ECE 83 test on spark ignition engine of a passenger car. The influence of the engine oil composition (mineral or fully synthetic) was examined. For both engine oils, exhaust emissions were measured with fresh oil as well as used oil at the end of the oil drain interval. Unleaded petrol and CNG were used as fuels in all experiments performed. The main conclusion made from the tests is that polyaromatics is the only part of th ε exhaust emissions that was influenced with the nature of the engine oil. Effect on the other components of emissions (aldehydes and VOC) was negligible. Emissions of polyaromatics were almost twice higher for fresh mineral as for fresh fully synthetic oil. The amount of polyaromatics in the exhaust emissions increased slightly with mileage for fully synthetic and substantially more for mineral engine oil.

The herb of Agastache rugosa (Lamiaceae) called Korean mint as a spice or Agastache Herba as a crude drug is known to contain highly fragrant volatile substances. This research aimed to establish the quantitative gas chromatography (GC) method on the essential oil of A. rugosa using the three standard compounds, estragole, methyleugenol, pulegone, and to find whether the essential oil has anti-Alzheimer's activity. The GC quantification method was established by determining the linearity of calibration curve ($R^2$), linear range, and both limit-of-detection (LOD) and limit-of-quantification (LOQ). The $IC_{50}$ of the essential oil on the activities of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) were determined to be $69.06{\pm}0.26$ and $76.71{\pm}0.58{\mu}g/ml$, respectively.

Gas sensors based on metal-oxide-semiconductors are predominantly used in numerous applications including monitoring indoor air quality and detecting harmful substances such as volatile organic compounds. Nanostructures, e.g., nanoparticles, nanotubes, nanodomes, or nanofibers, have been widely utilized to improve the gas sensing properties of metal-oxide-semiconductors by increasing the effective surface area participating in the surface reaction with target gas molecules. Recently, 1-dimensional (1D) metal oxide nanostructures fabricated using glancing angle deposition (GAD) method with e-beam evaporation have been widely employed to increase the surface-to-volume ratio significantly with large-area uniformity and reproducibility, leading to promising gas sensing properties. Herein, we provide a brief overview of 1D metal oxide nanostructures fabricated using GAD and their gas sensing properties in terms of fabrication methods, morphologies, and additives. Moreover, the gas sensing mechanisms and perspectives are presented.
