Feeding habits of Lateolabrax Japonicus collected from the eelgrass bed in Kwangyang Bay from January 1994 to December 1994 were studied. L. Japonicus was a carnivore which consumed mainly amphipods (gammarid amphipods and caprellid amphipods), crabs, caridean shrimps and copepods. Its diets included small quantities of fishes, mysids, polychaetes, tanaids and isopods. Three distinct ontogenetic feeding groups were noted : (1) 1~2 cm SL individuals preyed heavily on copepods. (2) 2~15 cm SL individuals preyed heavily on amphipods. (3) individuals over 15 cm SL preyed heavily on crabs, caridean shrimps and fishes. L. Japonicus showed seasonal changes in prey composition. These changes were not caused by seasonal changes in food availability, but by changes in the size composition of L. Japonicus occurred in the eelgrass bed.

The main purpose of this study was to observe the effect of school lunch program on dietary habits of elementary school children and their food preferences. A questionnaire survey was conducted on 785 children and their mother in ele-mentary school with and without school lunch program. The results of this study can be summarized as follows: 1. 91.1% of subjects were eating rice for breakfast menu and 12.2% of subjects were skipping breakfast every morning. 2. Most of the children preferred fruits, ddugboggi, ice cream, fritter, cookie, bread, beverage and hot dog for snacks. 3. Despite of its restrictive practice, the school lunch program proved to be contributory to the improvement of children's food intake habits, table manners, keeping social order, sanitary consiousness, gratitude for their parents. 4. Children preferred kimbap, bokumbap and hamburger for main dish, fish jelly soup, brown seaweed soup and bean-sprout soup for soup, animal food for side dish and frying saute for cooking methods. 5. Most of the children disliked crown daisy, green pepper, mushroom, green onion, onion, dropwort, soybean and carrot for their food materials.

To study the abundances of ichthyoplankton in the Nakdong River estuary, ichthyoplankton were sampled with standard net at approximately one month intervals from February, 1987 to January, 1988. Temperature and salinity in the study area showed large seasonal fluctuations due to the inflow of Nakdong River. Among 8 taxa of pelagic eggs occured in the study area, Sillago spp. occupied 37.3% of the total eggs; Coilia spp., 35.8%; Repomucenus spp., 13.7%; Engraulis japonica, 9.4%. These 4 taxa occupied 96.4% of the total eggs. Among 26 taxa of fish larvae, Engraulis japonica was the most abundant species and occupied 36.8% of the total larvae; Gobiidae, 15.3%; Repomucenus spp., 15.0%; Coilia spp., 14.0%; Hexagrammos otakii, 6.8%; Omobranchus elegans, 4.4%. These 6 taxa occupied 92.3% of the total larvae, The densities of pelagic eggs were more than 100 eggs/ 1,000m super(3) from May to October. The densities of larvae were 3.8~221.3 larvae/1,000m super(3). They were relatively high in May, July, and August.

Global warming affects forests and their ecology. Diversity in the forest is a buffer that reduces the damage due to global warming. Mixed forests are ecologically more valuable as versatile habitats and are effective in preventing landslides. In Korea, most forests were created by simple afforestation with trees of evergreen species. Typically, evergreen trees are shallow-rooted, and deciduous trees are deep-rooted. Mixed forest tree roots grip the soil effectively, which reduces the occurrence of landslides. Therefore, improving the distribution of tree types is essential to reduce damage due to global warming. For this improvement, the investigation of tree types of the forest is needed. However, determining the tree type distribution of forests that are spread over wide areas is labor-intensive and time-consuming. This study suggests effective methods for determining the distribution of tree types in a forest that is spread across a relatively wide area. Using normalized difference vegetation index and RGB images from unmanned aerial vehicles, each evergreen and deciduous tree, and grassland area can be distinguished. The distinguished image determines the distribution of tree type. This method is effective compared to directly determining the tree type distribution in the forest by the use of manpower. The data from these methods could be applied to plan a mixed forest or to prepare for future damage due to global warming.

Background : Cirsium setidens is a perennial wild herb that belongs to the Asteraceae family. It grows in the mountainous region of Gangwon-do in Korea and is also called gondre. The bioconversion technology applied in this study has the same meaning as biosynthesis, biocatalyst, etc., and refers to a technique for producing desired products from precursors using enzymatic functions of microorganisms. Therefore, useful microorganisms having immunological activity were selected and Cirsium setidens fermentation products were prepared by applying bioconversion technology. And fermented product extracts were prepared to consider as a good sources of natural immune enhancement and functional food ingredients. Methods and Results : Lactobacillus fermentum, Lactobacillus plantarum, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Weissella cibaria, and Lactobacillus plantarum were used as isolates from traditional foods. The fermentation product was set to a condition that the inherent physical properties did not change and did not generate a unique odor during fermentation. Cirsium setidens was fermented at 37℃ for 24 hours. And the fermented material was sterilized at 9 0℃ for 1 hour and then dried at 70℃ and pulverized. The contents of pectolinarin and pectolinarigenin, which are non - glycosides, were analyzed before and after fermentation using HPLC. Also NO production was measured in RAW264.7 cells after extract treatment at various concentrations using Griess reagent kit . The content of pectolinarin was increased in fermented Crisium setidens before fermentation, but the content of pectolinarigenin was increased after fermentation. In addition, the water extract of the fermented material accelerated the NO production compared to the pre - fermented material. Conclusion : As a result, relatively high immunostimulating effect were observed in dried Crisium setidens after fermentation, and it was confirmed that it could be a ingredient material for health functional food.

A total of 15 different corn hybrids, Kwangpyeongok, Gangdaok, Yanganok, Singwangok, Jangdaok, Cheonganok, Cheongdaok, Andaok, Dapyeongok, Pyeongkangok, Pyeonganok, Daanok, Sunwon 184, Gangilok, and P3394 was used to investigate the growth and yield depending on the sowing date. The sowing dates were April 5, June 25, and July 5 and each experiments was performed in triplicste. The growth of Gangdaok was the highest. However, although the growth of Kwangpyeongok, was lower thanthar of Gangdaok, its stem height to ear height ratio was lower than that of Gangdaok, thus , Kwangpyeongok may be more suitable for stable cultivation. Both growth and yield of Daanok were low, regardless of planting date, but yield and ear shape of Pyeongkangok and Dapyeongok were for fresh corn. Growth and yield of the 15 different corn hybrids varied depending on the planting date, However, the growth degree days (GDD) was the most important factor governing the maturity of corn. More than 1500°C of GDD was sufficient to harvest mature corn hybrids in the central region of Korea. Besides yield and growth, other characteristics, such as sweetness and taste of the hybrids, should be investigated further the selection of the best corn hybrid.

Blast resistance of 29 rice cultivars confirmed as a durable resistance in the evaluation of sequential planting from 2004 to 2006 was evaluated to nursery screening in 14 test sites during 11 years in Korea. The average disease severity (ADS) of 29 rice varieties against rice blast showed 3.5 degree; however, the difference of disease severity among the varieties was from 1.9 to 4.8. The 29 varieties were grouped into resistance less than 3.0 ADS degree including 12 varieties and moderate resistance over 3.1 ADS degree including 17 varieties. Among the 12 rice cultivars presented low ADS, 4 rice cultivars, Ungwang, Pungmi 1, Sinunbong 1, and Dasan 1 were constantly appeared high resistant reaction during 11 years in all test sites and the others were showed various diseases severity across the test years and the test sites. Twenty-one rice cultivars including Gopum were more variable among the test sites while the others were higher variable among the test years. These results indicated that durable resistance test against rice blast using sequential planting is a very efficient screening method to predict durability and nursery test for long periods and also useful method to predict indirectly durable resistance of rice cultivars.

A long-term field experiment under different fertilization treatments had been conducted to explore the effects of rice yield and soil chemical properties from 1978 to 2008 in Suwon, Korea. The paddy was applied eight fertilization treatments which were F0 (no fertilizer), PK (phosphorous and potassium), NK (nitrogen and potassium), NP (nitrogen and phosphorous), NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium), NPKC (NPK with compost), NPKS (NPK with straw) and NPKL (NPK with lime). Results of 31 years experiment showed that yield index (the ratio of yield in each treatment to NPK) was the lowest in F0 (0.52) and the highest in NPKC (1.18). Yield index was gradually increased in NPKC but decreased in F0 and NK. The yield index of PK, NP, NPKS and NPKL were not changed long-term treatment. Soil acidity of NPKL showed the highest with pH 7.9, and that of other treatments ranged from pH 6.3 to 6.8. Available phosphorous content of soil was increased in all plots by long-term fertilization, was the highest in PK and NPKC. Soil organic matter was higher in NPKC (1.8%) and NPKS (1.8%) than other treatments (1.3~1.4%) in the early experiment, but that was remarkably increased in only NPKC (2.5%) according to annual long-term application. Thus we suggest that annual compost application with optimum NPK could make stable and sustainable rice production.

Background : We studied the anti-oxidant activity and anti-inflammatory effects of Spiraea fritschiana Schneid extract (SFSE). Methods and Results : The SFSE was prepared using methanol and was evaluated for its total phenol and flavonoid content, DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) free-radical scavenging activity, reducing power, and effect on nitric oxide (NO) production, and cell viability by using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The total phenol content was 212.78 ㎍• gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/㎎ and the total flavonoid content was 66.84 ㎍• quercetin equivalent (QE)/㎎. The extract showed antioxidant activity (DPPH free-radical scavenging activity) with RC50 value of 76.61 ㎍/㎖. The reducing power of the extract was Abs 0.58 at 250 ㎍/㎖. Cell viability was determined using the MTT 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. To evaluate anti-inflammatory activity, we examined the inhibitory effects on lipopolysaccharide-(LPS)-induced NO production in RAW 264.7 cells. The NO inhibition rate was 90% at 200 ㎍/㎖ SFSE. At the same concentration, the expression of pro-inflammatory genes such as inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 also decreased. Conclusions : Our results suggest that SFSE is a novel resource for the development of foods and drugs that possess anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activity.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is widely used to aid the navigation of aerial vehicles. However, the GPS cannot be used indoors, so alternative navigation methods are needed to be developed for micro aerial vehicles (MAVs) flying in GPS-denied environments. In this paper, a real-time three-dimensional (3-D) indoor navigation system and closed-loop control of a quad-rotor aerial vehicle equipped with an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and a low-cost light detection and ranging (LIDAR) is presented. In order to estimate the pose of the vehicle equipped with the two-dimensional LIDAR, an octree-based grid map and Monte-Carlo Localization (MCL) are adopted. The navigation results using the MCL are then evaluated by making a comparison with a motion capture system. Finally, the results are used for closed-loop control in order to validate its positioning accuracy during procedures for stable hovering and waypoint-following.

This study was conducted in order to determine the relationship between thinking styles and stress of clinical practice among nursing students. Data were collected from 151 nursing students through self-report questionnaires, and analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe’s Test, and Pearson's correlation using SPSS18.0. The thinking styles were relatively high in ‘hierarchic’ style and ‘clinical practice environment’ was the highest in stress of clinical practice. Relationship between thinking styles and stress of clinical practice showed correlation in the sub-scales. ‘External’ style differed significantly according to ‘undesirable role model’, ‘interpersonal conflict’, and ‘conflict with patient’. ‘Internal’ style was negative significantly different according to ‘interpersonal conflict’. In conclusion, development of nursing intervention for stress of clinical practice which considers thinking styles is needed.

｢지상파 텔레비전 방송의 디지털 전환과 디지털 방송의 활성화에 관한 특별법(’09.4.22)｣에 따라 우리나라는 2012년말(예정)까지는 기존 아날로그 방송을 중지하고, 디지털 방송으로 전환하였다. 이에 현재 국내 디지털방송 수신기기 보급률은 55.1%에 불과한 상황으로 앞으로 2012년 전후 디지털 TV로의 교체가 본격화 되면 폐아날로그 TV 발생량은 증가할 것으로 예상되는데, 앞으로 미교체 가구인 약 400만 가구(우리나라 가구 1700만, 44.9%)가 디지털 TV로 교체할 경우 약 670만대 이상의 폐 아날로그TV가 배출될 것으로 추정되며, 사업장 및 공공기관 등에 보급된 아날로그 TV를 고려한다면 약 1천만대 이상이 배출될 것으로 전망된다(환경부, 2010). 현재 폐TV 배출량은 120만대/년, 향후 150만대/년 이상으로 배출량 증가가 예상된다. 또한 기술여건이 변화함에 따라서 텔레비전과 컴퓨터와 같이 CRT(Cathode Ray Tube)를 포함하고 있는 가전제품으로부터 발생하는 폐기물이 세계적으로 급격한 증가추세를 보이고 있다. LCD, 플라즈마, 박막형 스크린 등 컴퓨터 모니터 및 TV 기술의 급속한 발전으로 인한 저렴한 제품가격과 새로운 디자인 도입으로 인해 신제품에 대한 소비자들의 신제품 교체주기가 더욱 빨라지고 있다. 방송 및 기술 여건의 변화로 인해 텔레비전과 컴퓨터의 경우 CRT 수요가 급격히 감소하고 폐 CRT가 대량으로 발생하고 있음. 국내의 경우 폐 CRT 유리는 2012년 월 1,500 톤이 발생했다. 기존의 재활용 방법인 CRT to CRT(폐 CRT 유리를 원료로 하여 새 CRT 유리를 만드는 방법, CtC)은 방송여건, 기술여건, 시장여건 등이 변화함에 따라서 사용할 수 없게 되었으며, 이에 CRT to Other Products 방법(폐 CRT 유리를 원료로 하여 다른 제품을 만드는 방법, CtOP)을 사용해야하는 현실에 있으나, 수요처 확보 재활용 기술의 부재 등으로 인한 연구개발이 절실하게 필요한 실정이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 폐 CRT 유리의 발생량에 맞추어 재활용 할 수 있는 방법인 CtOP를 이용하여, CRT유리의 분쇄특성과 분쇄된 CRT 유리를 원료로 사용하는 연구를 실시하였으며, 콘크리트 블록 및 점토벽돌을 생산특성에 대하여 논하고자 한다. 폐 CRT 유리 분쇄기의 처리 용량은 약 2 ton/hr로 입도 분리기를 가지고 있으며, 각 입도에 따라서 다른 재활용 공정을 거치게 되며, CRT 유리를 함유하고 있는 콘크리트 블록 및 점토벽돌의 물성 상승효과(압축강도, 휨강도, 흡수율)를 가져오는 것을 볼 수 있었다.

본 연구는 잣나무의 구과 착과량에 따른 구과 및 종자특성의 변화 양상을 구명함으로써 잣나무 채종원의 효율적 관리방안을 도출하기 위해 수행되었다. 이를 위해 2007년 충주 소재 잣나무 채종원에서 조사를 실시하였는데, 전체 조사목 중 96.3%가 착과되었으며 본 당 구과수는 평균 27.4개였다. 본 당 구과 착과수에 따라 8개의 계급으로 나누어 분석을 했는데, 구과 착과수가 많아질수록 구과길이, 구과폭, 구과무게가 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 구과 착과수가 많아질수록 임성인편수, 종자생산능력, 충실종자율, 종자무게, 종자효율은 감소하고 둘째해 고사배주율은 다소 증가하는 경향을 나타냈다. 이러한 결과를 볼 때 종자결실이 풍년으로 구과가 다량 착과되는 해에는 평년에 비해 종자의 균일성 및 품질이 저하될 가능성이 높다고 판단된다. 특히, 잣나무는 구과와 종자의 크기가 크고 무거울수록 포지와 조림지에서의 생장이 좋다는 보고가 있는 점을 감안할 때, 결실 풍년으로 인해 종자의 평균적인 크기와 무게가 감소되는 경우 향후 조림지에서의 유묘생장도 저조할 가능성이 있다. 따라서, 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 결실이 풍년인 해에는 착과량을 인위적으로 적정수준으로 조절하거나 종자 정선 시 평년 수준의 종자크기 또는 무게를 가진 것들을 선별하여 공급하는 방안 등 다각적인 대처방안을 검토할 필요가 있을 것으로 생각된다.

고로쇠나무 11개 자연집단의 잎의 14가지 형태적 특성에 대한 변이분석을 실시하였다. Nested 분산분석 결과 14가지 양적특성들 모두에서 집단간 및 집단 내 개체 간에 유의적인 차이를 보였으며, 모든 형질들에서 총 분산 가운데 집단 내 개체 간 차지하는 비율이 집단간 차지하는 비율보다 큰 것으로 나타났다. 집단간 분화정도를 알아보고 형질간 상호비교를 위하여 표준화시킨 Dij값은 엽신장/엽병장(0.90), 상열편폭(0.85) 및 엽신장과 중열편폭(0.83) 특성들이 다른 형질들에 비해 이탈정도가 큰 형질들로 나타났다. 또한 14가지 형태적 특성에 대한 전체평균 Dij값은 광양(1.36)과 청양(1.30) 집단이 집단분화가 가장 큰 값을 보인반면 울주(0.30)와 정선(0.44) 집단이 가장 작은 값을 보여 조사된 집단들 중 울주와 정선집단이 고로쇠나무 잎의 형태적 특성을 대표할 수 있는 평균집단에 가까운 것으로 나타났다.

사과의 경우 한 과총에 5개의 꽃이 피는데 그 중 한 가운데의 중심화가 먼저 개화하여 과일로 발달하고 주위의 측과 4개는 스스로 낙과되는 현상을 자가적과성이라고 한다. 적과는 인위적으로 과실의 숫자를 줄여 잎 수와 과실 수의 균형을 맞추는 작업으로 과실의 크기를 증가시키고, 수세, 수형을 유지시켜 안정적인 생산에 도움을 준다. 노동력 절감을 위해 인간에게 유용하게 사용될 수 있는 특성이 자가적과성인데, 자가적과성 품종의 사과에서 측과는 만개 후 30일

본 연구는 사과 품종의 유전적 다양성을 분석하여 육종의 기초 자료로 활용하기 위하여 최근에 국내에서 육성된 품종 및 도입품종을 포함한 34품종을 대상으로 RAPD와 SSR 분석을 수행하였다. RAPD분석에서 총 37종의 선발된 임의 primer를 분석하여 193개의 다형성 밴드(36.2%)를 얻었으며, 평균 다형성 밴드 수는 5.6개였다. SSR 마커 26종을 이용하여 분석한 결과 총 112개의 대립인자가 확인되었고, 마커 당대립인자 수는 평균 4.3개

눈향나무(Juniperus chinensis var. sargentii Henry)는 누워서 자라는 상록침엽관목으로 수고 60 cm까지 성장한다. 지리적으로는 동북아시아에 한정되어 분포하는 수종이며, 우리나라에서는 고산지대의 산정부근에서만 극히 일부 자생하여 멸종의 위기에 직면하고 있는 위기종(Endangered species)으로 지정되어 보호되고 있다. 본 연구는 희귀수종 눈향나무의 유전자원보존을 위한 삽목증식법을 개발하기 위하여 삽목시기 및 발근촉진제의 종류별 농도에 따른 발근특성을 조사하였다. 삽목 발근율은 삽목시기와 발근촉진제의 종류 및 농도에서 각각 고도의 유의성이 인정되었다. 삽목은 8월보다 5월이 적정한 시기로 판단되었으며, 발근율과 발근특성을 고려한 발근촉진제의 종류 및 농도는 IBA 1000 mgL-1 처리하는 것이 발근율 36.4%(무처리 30.4%)로 캘러스 형성율이 높고 발근이 촉진되는 것으로 나타났다. 삽수의 발근에 따른 뿌리의 수, 길이 및 굵기에 대한 특성에서는 모두 발근촉진제의 종류 및 농도에 따른 통계적인 유의성이 인정되지 않았다.

이 연구에서는 FFC2Q모형의 WQUAL블럭의 기본이론과 적용성을 검토하고, 도시지역의 강우초기 시 집중적으로 발생하는 CSOs의 비점오염부하 특성을 분석하였다. 또한 비점오염물 축적량 산정법과 쓸림방정식에서 주요 매개변수들의 선택과 그 영향을 분석하였다. 군자 배수구역의 3개 강우사상에 대한 실측치와의 비교를 통해 첨두유출량, 총유출량, 총부하량, 첨두농도 발생시간 등을 적정하게 모의할 수 있었으며, 입력자료의 단순화에도 불구하고 SWMM, MOUSE
