Physicochemical characteristics of kochujang prepared with addition of garlic and onion, were investigated for 22 weeks of fermentation to obtain information on improving the quality of traditional kochujang. Moisture contents of kochujang increased during fermentation, but total nitrogen contents decreased slightly. The pH and titratable acidity of kochujang changed a little by addition of garlic or onion. Total sugar contents of kochujang decreased rapidly after 4 weeks, but reducing sugar contents increased until 2 weeks of fermentation. As the ratio of garlic increased, reducing sugar contents decreased. Ethanol contents increased during fermentation as mixing ratio of onion increased. Amino nitrogen contents of kochujang increased as mixing ratio of garlic or onion increased, but ammonia nitrogen contents decreased. Water activities of kochujang decreased slightly during fermentation, but consistency increased until 18 weeks. The color values of garlic or onion added kochujang were low in the L-values, but a- and b-values increased. Results of sensory evaluation showed garlic added$(2{\sim}4%)$ kochujang were more acceptable than onion added kochujang due to more favorable taste and flavor.

The effect of solid content on the physicochemical properties of rice porridge after reheating. The concentration of rice porridge was classified as solid content (12%, 10%, and 8%) by traditional Korean cooking methods. For reheating, packed rice porridge was boiled in water for 3 min and then cooled at room temperature ($25^{\circ}C$). The viscosity, soluble solid content and reducing sugar content of the rice porridge increased according to the solid content, while the blue value decreased. After reheating, the viscosities ($25^{\circ}C$) of all rice porridges decreased to 2.9-8.4%, compared to those of freshly made rice porridge, whereas the soluble solid content and reducing sugar content increased inversely according to the solid content of rice porridge. The SDI (starch digestion index) increased according to the solid content, whereas SDS (slowly digestible starch) the lowest in the solid content 12% porridge. Based on these results, it is favorable that the viscosity decrease after reheating was to be considered to ready-to eat rice porridges preparation.

Fermentative and antioxidative characteristics of red mustard leaf (RML) kimchi, a traditional, fermented Korean vegetable food, were investigated. For the study, RML kimchi was made of RML, with green onion, red pepper, garlic, ginger, and sugar, and fermented at 15$^{\circ}C$. The pH was decreased and total acidity was increased during fermentation. The contents of reducing sugar, total vitamin C, and total Phenol content were 2.36%, 65 mg%, and 59 mg% at the initial stage. Although the content of reducing sugar decreased gradually during fermentation, however, the quantity of ascorbic acid decreased with the tendency of slightly increased at 6 days, and the amount of total phenol was increased. CIE L*, a*, b＊values were increased until 6 days of the fermentation. In order to determine the antioxidative activity of RML kimchi itself, the model systems of RML kimchi were made with cooked beef. TBA values of RML kimchi which was fermented for 6 days showed the lowest level in model systems. Water, n-hexane, methanol extracts of RML kimchi had a considerable antioxidative activity with the inhibition of formation of peroxide during the autoxidation of linoleic acid mixtures in aqueous model systems.

The present study was designed to investigate the chemical composition and antioxidant activities of Prunus salicina Formosa produced in Gimcheon. The free sugar amounts in Prunus salicina Formosa were fructose>glucose>sucrose>maltose, and malic acid contents in Prunus salicina Formosa were the highest among all the organic acids found in the present study. Each Prunus salicina Formosa extract was obtained by treating Prunus salicina Formosa with distilled water, 80% ethanol, 60% acetone, and 80% methanol at 25 and $50^{\circ}C$. The highest contents of total polyphenol and flavonoid were observed in the 60% acetone extract and 80% ethanol extract, respectively. The 60% acetone extract exhibited the greatest DPPH radical scavenging ability, reducing power, and nitrite scavenging ability. However, SOD-like activity was not considerably different for all the extracts studied. The results from the present study could be helpful for developing antioxidant products using Prunus salicina Formosa produced in Gimcheon.

Recently, active researches are conducted on high performance concrete(HPC) exhibiting high strength and high fluidity. These researches are resulting in increased applications on real structures. In order to satisfy the required performances, HPC makes use of large quantities of binder and presents low water-cementitious material ratio. Such mixing is increasing significantly the autogenous shrinkage, which subsequently is likely to favor the potential development of cracks. Therefore, we investigated the effect of used materials and mix proportions on the shrinkage properties of HPC, and of the use of expansive additives and shrinkage reducing agents on the HPC. The autogenous shrinkage of HPC using blast furnace slag are tend to be increased, in some case have the potential development of cracks by only the autogenous shrinkage. Also the using method in combination with expansive additive and shrinkage reducing agent is more effective than the separately using method of that.

Based on the results from investigation of behaviour of pulverized fly ashes (PFA) at laboratory and field, the way how to reduce the environmental impacts to geotechnical practices Is considered and described. In order to reduce discharged industrial by-products, it should primarily be emphasized that an effort are made as much as possible not to put into homing. Secondarily, an effort must be made to increase amount of utilization to geotechnical engineering practices. In addition, from an environmental point of view, we should challenge to create innovative materials which are eligible for controlling other wastes and remedying contamination m soils by using industrial byproducts which belong to wastes This Is a new concept in which the polluting materials can be eliminated by making use of wastes. Based on the above-stated concept, the previous and possible utilization of PFA is classified into: (1 ) reclamation, embankment or backfill material, (2) light weight geo-material, (8) soil stabilization/improvement, and (4) environmental material. The reason why PFA, in particular, slurry PFA has been used and will possibly be used more widely is due to the fact that PFA has the advantages : (i) low specific gravity leading to a light weight geomaterial, (ii) high pozzolanic activity enhancing strength, especially due to cement addition, and (iii) spherical shape of particles producing isotropy and then pumpability. As well as the concept of reducing geo-environmental impacts, the present text mainly describes the successful results at laboratory and field which have been obtained by the authors. The most important issue hi application of byproducts including PFA for geotechnical practices is to prevent leakage of polluted substances from sedimentary deposits, ground and earth structures. As one of possible techniques far achieving this purpose, a method of washing off the polluted substances by hot water is described.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of soil amendments for reducing soil compaction at heavy traffic area in golf course. Major results of this research are summarized at follows: 1. In the Lab. experiment, the porosity was improved significantly when the materials, such as peatmoss, charcoal, and tire chip mixtures were used respectively. Especially mixture of sand and 20% peatmoss showed higher effectiveness (10%) in porosity, comparing with ordinary sand. This soil mixture(sand 80%+peatmoss 20%) was observed the best in water retention, soil hardness and hydrauric conductivity. 2. In the greenhouse experiment, traffic pressure was given 7 times a day on several combination of mixture treatments to see the top dry weight. The soil mixture of 20% peatmoss showed the highest in the top dry weight. When the more traffic pressure(15 time/day) were given on the different treatment, the top dry weight was significantly reduced. However, the mixture of 20% peatmoss also had the least influence on this type of heavy traffic. 3. In the field experiment, the soil amendments were treated in traffic area f golf course, and observed at 30days, 60days, 90days, 120days after treatment. Visual turf quality(color), root length and soil compaction were compared to those of control. As a result, overall treatments with soil amendments were effective, which showed better turf quality and less soil compaction. 4. In the field test, physical characters of soil (such as soil hardness and hydrauric conductivity) in sand+tire chip+peatmoss(60:20:20, %, v/v) treatment was significantly improved. Also in the slow increasing of traffic, the soil compaction was the most effective in reducing soil hardness.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the adhesive properties of polyurethane mixed aqueous dispersions by omitting the primer, dealing with the preparation of skins for synthetic leather with excellent adhesion by omitting the pre-treatment process. The two-component mixed polyurethane water dispersion was prepared by synthesizing an ester-based polyurethane resin (PU-T) and a carbonate-based polyurethane resin (PU-C) to obtain the final resin. As a result of measuring the peel strength of the adhesive specimens omitting the pre-treatment agent, it was confirmed that the state adhesive strength (ethylene vinyl acetate (middle): $4.2kg_f/cm$ and rubber (outsole): $4.4kg_f/cm$) there was. This makes it possible to omit the pre-treatment process which has been indispensably used in the shoe manufacturing process, thereby reducing the process time and reducing the amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) generated in the pre-treatment product, resulting in environmentally advantageous.

The quality characteristics of kimchi with Artemisia annua extracts (1~2%; extracted with water or 70% ethanol), including the pH, acidity, reducing sugar content, total viable cell and lactic acid bacteria cell count, and sensory parameters, were investigated at 10 and $15^{\circ}C$ for 20 days during aging. The pH, acidity, reducing sugar content, and lactic acid bacteria count of kimchi with Artemisia annua extract rapidly increased upto the 4~6th day, increasing slowly thereafter. The quality characteristics did not vary between kimchi with and without the extract. The optimal aging time for kimchi with the extract was 10 days at $10^{\circ}C$. The results of the sensory evaluation showed that kimchi with 1% Artemisia annua extract was superior to kimchi with 2% Artemisia annua extract; in particular, the color and taste of the latter were found to be black and bitter, respectively.

Damage such as landslides has been caused by natural phenomenon like a heavy rain. As appropriate countermeasures, rather than analysing the cause of the landslide, we used methods of check dam installation and maintenance mountain basin. A check dam is a small, sometimes temporary, dam constructed across a swale, drainage ditch, or waterway to counteract erosion by reducing water flow velocity. In this study, we analysed the adequacy of check dam built to prevent further damage after landslides through GIS and examined the sediment erosion in the existing check dams for an ideal location of check dam, considering the accessibility and size. As a result of reviewing soil loss in the study watershed according to RUSLE(Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation), the basin I had about 2% soil loss reduction, the basin II showed less than 1 % soul loss reduction, and basin III showed the reducing effect of 5 % soil erosion.
