Abstract: Disclosed is a heavyweight concrete composition using slag byproducts, including: ground granulated blast furnace slag; slow-cooled electric-arc-furnace oxidizing slag or atomized steel slag used as a fine aggregate; a coarse aggregate; water; and a chemical admixture based on 100 parts by weight high-early-strength cement. Thus, the heavyweight concrete composition contains a large quantity of steel slag and blast-furnace slag that are byproducts in iron-making and steel-making processes, thereby remarkably reducing an amount of emission of carbon dioxide and maximizing the recycling of waste resources for preserving the natural environment. As a result, an eco-friendly heavyweight concrete product can be made.

Abstract: The present invention relates to Lactobacillus strain with a body-fat reducing activity and provides Lactobacillus rhamnosus Strain PL60 KCCM-10654P. The strain of the invention can be directly used as body-fat reducing functional foods, or can be used as additives of body-fat reducing functional foods or a ferment starter strain of body-fat reducing functional fermented foods. Body-fat inhibiting materials that the strain of the present invention produce can be isolated to be used. In addition, in case that fermented foods are produced using the strain the invention provides conditions capable of having a maximal body-fat reducing effect.
