Dendropanax morbifera Leveille (Araliaceae) is an endemic species growing in the south-western part of South Korea and has been used in folk medicine. However, the effects of Dendropanax morbifera Lev. on skin biology remain to be elucidated. In this study, we isolated 1-tetradecanol and β-sitosterol from the n-hexane fraction of Dendropanax mobifera Lev. and To investigate the whitening effect of the fraction, we tested the inhibition of tyrosinase activity of 1-tetradecanol. The results show that the inhibitory effect of the 1-tetradecanol was higher than water extract and n-hexane fraction. And 1-tetradecanol significantly reduced melanin contents of B16F10 cells compared to more than water extract and n-haxane fraction dose-dependantly without cell cytotoxicitiy (below 100 µg/mL). We also investigated the skin moisturizing effect using HR-1 hairless mice. The transepidermal water loss (TEWL) in the 1-tetradecanol treated group was significantly smaller than that in the other groups. To investigate the effect of the preventing hair loss by β-sitosterol, we observed HR-1 hairless mice through periodic growth feature. The results suggest that hair loss of mice by β-sitosterol was delayed and it's hair density showed the highest. These data provide evidence that

Currently, level of service(LOS) analysis methods for pedestrian sidewalks are provided in Korean Highway Capacity Manual (KHCM, 2013). However, conventional methods provided in the KHCM produce most of pedestrian sidewalks' LOS as level A, indicating that existing analysis methods are unable to reflect realistic pedestrian sidewalks' LOS. The objectives of this research are to identify the suitability of current LOS criteria and to propose improved LOS evaluation criteria and methods with pedestrian volume data carried out for 10,000 sites in 2009. This research proposes new criteria by using the qualitative definition of LOS proposed by Fruin and Hall, new standard Korean human scale and new criteria of pedestrian occupancy space. Application results of new criteria show that more realistic results can be achieved than the existing methods. It is expected that applying the newly developed criteria and methods can make planning, design and construction of pedestrian sidewalks more realistic and various.

The feasibility of incorporating purple sweet potato concentrate (PSPC) as a value-added food ingredient in convenient food products, using a model system of jelly, was investigated. The pH and soluble solids content gradually increased with the increasing levels of PSPC added (p<0.05). The moisture content ranged from 82.03-83.82%. Lightness decreased, whereas redness and yellowness increased significantly with the higher amount of PSPC in the formulation (p<0.05). Turbidity and hardness also increased significantly (p<0.05). Total polyphenol content and DPPH radical scavenging activity increased significantly with the addition of PSPC (p<0.05). The consumer acceptance test indicated that the addition of PSPC had a favorable effect on consumer acceptances in all attributes. The jelly with 2% PSPC is recommended (with respect to the overall acceptance score) for taking advantage of the functional properties of PSPC without sacrificing consumer acceptability. 재료 및 방법재료 본 실험에서 사용된 자색 고구마 농축액은 지산식품(Hamyang, Korea)에서 55 o C 진공으로 농축 처리된 농축액을 구입하여 사용 하였다. 자색 고구마 농축액(50 o Bx 기준)의 100 g 당 영양성분은 탄수화물 33 g(당류 15 g), 단백질 1 g, 지방 1.9 g, 콜레스테롤 0 mg, 나트륨 140 mg으로 구성되어 있으며, 총 열량은 155 kcal이
