When corrugated board is folded at the severely low humidity condition, crack can occur along the scored (or creased) lines of linerboard. This phenomenon is called as score (or crease) crack. It is mainly resulted from the excessive concentration of stress on the outer layer of linerboard. To overcome score crack, many approaches including the installation of constant temperature and humidity system, displacement of low grade raw material by long and strong fibers, or application of water have been tried. We examined the effect of the weight fraction of top layer in two-ply sheet, freeness of top layer stock and wet pressing on strain and elastic modulus of sheet to prevent score crack. Lower freeness and higher press load increased the density and elastic modulus of sheet. Pressing load over the $50kgf/cm^2$, however, decreased the strain of sheet. The weight fraction of top layer had positive effect on strain as well as elastic modulus without increasing the density of sheet.

This paper aims to manufacture nonwoven fabrics by wet-laid technology using Vectran$^{(R)}$ one of the highly favoured high-performace fiber. In previous study, a novel evaluation on fiber dispersion was studied to select optimum surfactant by the need for the control of fiber dispersion in water with reference to wet-laid nonwoven technology. 3 Types of sulfonate anionic surfactants were chosen and added in a stage of agitation to improve dispersion behavior of fibers in water. It was observed that the state of fiber dispersion in water affected various properties of nonwovens, including appearance, physical properties, and mechanical properties. Nonwoven added SDBS was uniform in web structure, thickness and weight. Its average pore was small in size and consisted of fine pores and the value of porosity was high. Further, the difference of tensile value between 2 directions was the least. Consequentially, as the dispersion behavior of fiber increases, nonwoven shows more balanced and uniform physical properties in all directions.

This study investigated the quality of wet noodles added with Allium hookeri powder. Wet noodles were prepared by addition of 0, 2, 6, and 10% powder to flour of the basic formulation. The water binding capacity of Allium hookeri powder was higher than that of flour. Swelling power and solubility increased with increased temperature. The weight, water absorption, volume, and turbidity values of cooked noodles showed no significant differences. The lightness value decreased with an increase in Allium hookeri powder content. The redness and yellowness values increased with an increase in Allium hookeri powder content. The textural properties of cooked noodles decreased with an increase in Allium hookeri powder content. Antioxidative activity as measured by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity of wet noodles increased as the concentration of Allium hookeri powder increased. The highest quality noodles were obtained with 2% Allium hookeri powder in the wet noodle formula.

The results of wet noodles added with 0, 1, 3, 5, and 7% freeze-dried maesangi powder demonstrate that the addition of maesangi powder up to 5% was desirable formation of noodles. The moisture contents of wet noodle 35.48~36.42%. As the added amount of maesangi powder increased, weight, volume, water absorption, and turbidity the wet noodle soup after cooking increased. Measurement of color changes between before and after cooking the wet noodles found that as the added amount of maesangi powder increased, the lightness and yellowness increased. Measurement of texture after boiling found that, hardness, chewiness and gumminess tended to increase as the amount of added maesangi powder increased whereas, springiness and cohesiveness were significantly different between the different samples. The results of the sensory evaluation showed that the 3%-added group was the best for color, flavor, and taste while the control groups had the best texture. For overall acceptability, the 3%-added group showed found the highest preference level. Measurement of the changes in total viable cells during storage at $5^{\circ}C$ for 18 days found that 6-days was the optimal storage period for the noodles from the control groups and added groups. As the storing period increased, the maesangi powder added groups showed slower propagation speed for viable cells compared to the control groups.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of different methods of feeding and processing of diets on performance, morphological changes in the small intestine and nutrient digestibility of young pigs. A total of 120 pigs (Youkshire${\times}$Landrace${\times}$Duroc; initial body weight of $5.83{\pm}0.67kg$) were randomly allotted into six treatments in a $2{\times}3$ factorial design. Treatments were 1) dry feeding with a mash diet (DM), 2) dry feeding with a pelleted diet (DP), 3) dry feeding with an expanded crumble diet (DEC), 4) wet feeding with a mash diet (WM), 5) wet feeding with a pelleted diet (WP), 6) wet feeding with an expanded crumble diet (WEC). Average daily gain (ADG) and average daily feed intake (ADFI) were not significantly (p>0.05) different among treatments. However, feed conversion ratio (FCR) was significantly improved when pigs fed a pelleted diet or an expanded crumble diet. Pigs fed an expanded crumble diet showed 9.2% and 17.3% improvement in ADG and FCR compared with those fed a mash diet. The morphological changes in the small intestine were examined at the termination (4 weeks after weaning) of the experiment. Differences in morphological changes of gastrointestinal tract were not significant among treatments. Though villus height was not significantly affected by feeding method or feed processing, the villus height of weaned pigs tended to be preserved by wet feeding. The use of a pelleted diet also helped to prevent the shortening of villus height. Pigs fed a WP diet maintained the highest villus height at all parts of the small intestine. There was no significant difference (p>0.05) in nutrient digestibility among treatments. However, nutrient digestibility for pigs fed a pelleted diet had a higher than that of pigs fed mash diets. Especially, pigs fed a WP diet digested 5.3% more P each day than those fed a DM diet. Compared with the mash diet, the expanded crumble diet decreased feed cost per kg weight gain by 15%. The net profit per pig was 79% higher in the expanded crumble diet pigs than in mash diet pigs. In conclusion, this study suggests that feeding processed diets to piglets can be more beneficial in terms of FCR and production cost.

Lettuce (Lactuca Sativa L.) is the most popular salad vegetable crop The purpose of this study was to analyze the quality of lettuce, and residual pesticides in this vegetable, during growth after transplanting. The eatable weight was 40% of the total weight at the commencement of transplanting, but had doubted at harvest after transplanting. As lettuce grew after transplanting, the pH, the sugar level, and the moisture content increased slightly, and the color tended towards yellow rather than greenThe SPDA chlorophyll measurement was 16.84 at 42 day post-ransplantation, and increased to 26.44 at 67 day after transplanting. The contents of vitamin C were 2.5mg/100g wet weight at 60 d after transplantation, but decreased to 2.2mg/100g wet weight 67 day post-transplantation. Mineral (Ca, Fe, K, Mg, and Na) levels rose after transplantation, and attained their highest levels 60 day post-transplantation. The lettuce crop was analyzed for residues of each of 48 pesticides nt 54 after transplantation, and the only such chemical detected was chlorthalonil(0.03 0.25mg/kg wet weight).

The ecological characteristics of Sargassum macrocarpum, an ecologically and commercially valuable brown alga, were investigated from May 2018 to June 2019 in Jeju Island, Korea. The S. macrocarpum population formed patches at depths of 3-5 m. Growth in the length of the alga reached a maximum of 135.3±20.0 cm in June. The weight of the alga reached a maximum of 3.6±2.1 kg·wet-wt in May. The mean density and biomass of S. macrocarpum was 4.5 individuals·m^-2 and 4.6 kg·wet-wt.·m^-2 in their habitat. Receptacles were observed from April to August and egg release was detected from June to July when the seawater temperatures were 19.3-22.9℃. The developmental initiation of thalli occurred at temperatures above 14.1℃ and maturation required approximately 726.3 degree-days. The reproductive allocation of this alga, calculated from the reproductive frond length(RFL) and reproductive frond weight(RFW) indices to the whole length and weight, reached a maximum of 69.3% in June. The growth and maturation patterns of S. macrocarpum could be divided into vegetative growth (October-January), maturity preparation (February-April), maturation (May-June), egg release (June-July), and resting period (August-September). This was the first study to examine an S. macrocarpum population throughout the entire year in a natural habitat in Jeju Island, Korea.
