In this study, the experiments were carried out in order that flexural behavior evaluated High-strength Concrete Beams reinfrced with FRP plates according ro replacement ration of recycled aggregate. As a result, maximum load was higher than existiong of unreinforced when the reinforced with FRP plates and no decrease in load about increased fo replacement ration of recycled aggregate. Some specimens was greater than ACI 440-2R referemce value.

To study the cause of physiological disorder in leaf of ginseng cultivated at paddy soil, the degree of brown-colored symptom (BCS) and the contents of inorganic matter in leaf were investigated by irrigating the solution of ferric andferrous iron of 0.1~2.0%, and citric acid of 1.0~4.0% on bed soil, respectively. Ratio of BCS by variety was as high as85.0% in Yoenpoong, while it was as low as 5.4%, 7.5% in Chunpoong and Hwangsook, respectively. The contents ofinorganic matter of leaf in Yoenpoong were lower in P₂O5, Ca, and Mg, while it were higher in K, Fe, and Mn than othervariety. Iron solution caused BCS more distinctly when each ferric and ferrous iron were dissolved with 1.0% citric acidthan when each iron was dissolved without citric acid. Ferric iron caused BCS more effectively than ferrous iron. BCSoccurred in 4.0% citric acid was as same as 2.0% ferric iron mixed with 1.0% citric acid. Low P₂O5 and high Fe content inleaf appeared in both of artificial and natural symptoms. We concluded that excessive Fe uptake caused BCS to leaf becausethe solubility of iron was increased in condition of low soil pH.

The development of random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and expressed sequence tag-derivedsimple sequence repeats (EST-SSRs) provided a useful tool for investigating Korean ginseng genetic diversity. In this study,18 polymorphic markers (7 RAPD and 11 EST-SSR) selected to assess the genetic diversity in 31 ginseng accessions (11Korean ginseng cultivars and 20 breeding lines). In RAPD analysis, a total of 53 unique polymorphic bands were obtainedfrom ginseng accessions and number of amplicons ranged from 4 to 11 with a mean of 7.5 bands. Pair-wise genetic similaritycoefficient (Nei) among all pairs of ginseng accessions varied from 0.01 to 0.32, with a mean of 0.11. On the basis of theresulting data, the 31 ginseng accessions were grouped into six clusters. As a result of EST-SSR analysis, 11 EST-SSR mark-ers detected polymorphisms among the 31 ginseng accessions and revealed 49 alleles with a mean of 4.45 alleles per primer.The polymorphism information content (PIC) value ranged from 0.06 to 0.31, with an average of 0.198. The 31 ginsengaccessions were classified into five groups by cluster analysis based on Nei’s genetic distances. Consequently, the results ofginseng-specific RAPD and EST-SSR markers may prove useful for the evaluation of genetic diversity and discrimination ofKorean ginseng cultivars and breeding lines.

Korean ginseng (P. ginseng C. A. Meyer) is one of the most important medicinal plant in the world. Understanding genetic variability among the assortment of Korean ginseng is important for breeding. The aim of this study was to molecularly characterize Korean ginseng cultivar and breeding lines through the use of eight previously reported STS markers (MFGp183, MFGp130, MFGp110, UFGp74, UFGp163, MFGp108, MFGp81 and UFGp156). All STS markers produced interpretable electropherograms from 31 accessions consisting of 11 Korean ginseng cultivars and 20 breeding lines. When eight STS markers were combined, we identified to total 19 genetic patterns; in particular, nine cultivars (Chunpoong, Yunpoong, Gopoong, Gumpoong, Sunpoong, Sunone, Cheongseon, Sunhyang, Cheonryang) and 5 breeding lines (G08012, G04079, G04075, G08036, G04110) in ginseng samples can be discriminated from the others. Together with other available markers, these STS markers will contribute to the management of ginseng genetic resources and the protection of breeders' rights.

In this study, the amount of construction waste created from Demolition and reconstruction of old buildings by environmental contamination by construction waste has been raised as a social problem, according as a means to settle problems the government is being encouraged the use Recycled aggregate. However recycled aggregate has not yet been applied to structures in many cases. Due to uncertain technical verification of long-term durability, the use of recycled aggregate is being limited. Accordingly in this study, High Strength Concrete Beams use Recycled coarse Aggregate to evaluate the performance of the bending and establish national standards for structural design of recycled aggregates aims to provide the basic data.

This study was carried out to investigate the cause of leaf discoloration occurring frequently in paddy cultivation. Chemical property of soil and inorganic nutrient component of leaf were analyzed on abnormal fields of 7 regions where leaf discoloration occurred severely and normal fields of 7 regions among ginseng garden. The pH of abnormal fields was strong acidic condition (pH 5.51) compare to normal fields of slightly acid condition (pH 6.42). Calcium and magnesium content in abnormal fields were lower distinctly than that of normal fields, while EC, organic matter, phosphate, and potassium content showed not distinct difference between abnormal and normal fields. Whereas calcium and magnesium content were distinctly high in normal fields, both of potassium and iron content of ginseng leaf were distinctly high in abnormal fields. In particular, iron content of abnormal fields was more 1.94 times in soil, and 3.03 times in leaf than that of normal fields. In soil chemical property, there were significant negative correlation between leaf discoloration ratio and soil pH, and there were also significant positive correlation between leaf discoloration ratio and iron content. In ginseng leaf, there were highly significant negative correlation between leaf discoloration ratio and calcium content, and there were also highly significant positive correlation between leaf discoloration ratio and iron content.

We analyzed the surface changes in each forest type based on multi-temporal satellite imagery and climate data analysis on the mountainous regions of Gangwon-do as the case study. As a result of forest type classification using satellite imagery, the area of coniferous forests was decreased, but the area of deciduous forests and the mixed forests were increased. The annual mean temperature in the study area generally risen, and the rise in the annual mean temperature in Wonju particularly displayed a notable rise in 1992. Temperature change in the seasons resulted in a greater rise rate in winter and autumn, compared to other seasons. Such annual mean temperature rise affected the change in forest type distribution, thus directly and indirectly affecting the decrease in the surface area of coniferous forests, and also greatly affecting the expansion of distribution and the growth of mixed forests and deciduous forests. The surface change analysis of each forest type using the post-classification comparison method showed considerable change from coniferous forests to deciduous forests and mixed forests, as a result of the change in forest type based on the increased annual mean temperature after 1990. Furthermore, the change in deciduous forests significantly occurred in mixed forest regions. With these results, future forest type data are expected to be used as the main index of climate change vulnerability assessment, and more accurate quantitative results are expected to be deduced with the assessment of other climatic elements and relationships with different forest types.

This study aimed to investigate the change of fog frequency and duration hours hours in South Korea. Using daily mean fog days(about 50 years) and fog duration hours(about 46 years) during the period of 1961~2010 for long-term observational data of 14 weather stations in South Korea, the change of temperature rise was analyzed. The change of fog days had a decreasing trend for the period of 1961~2010. There was a distinctly decreasing trend in Seoul and South-Eastern Coast area. The seasonal decreasing trend of fog days and fog duration hours was similar in spring and summer. On the other hand the change of Chupungnyeong in autumn and the West Coast in summer had a increasing trend. The change of fog duration hours was rarely changed. It was affected by the change of fog days. In addition, the change of fog days and fog duration hours of South-Eastern Coast area in autumn and winter had to decreasing trend. Otherwise the change of Jeonju in spring and Mokpo in summer had a increasing trend. There was a negative correlation between temperature element and fog days, and fog duration hours. But the change of fog days and fog duration hours was not decreasing trend in all areas. The decreasing trend of fog days was affected by temperature rise. However, there was not shown significant result of fog duration hours.
