Transparent and conducting thin films of Ta-doped SnO2 were fabricated on a glass substrate by a pulse laserdeposition(PLD) method. The structural, optical, and electrical properties of these films were investigated as a function ofdoping level, oxygen partial pressure, substrate temperature, and film thickness. XRD results revealed that all the deposited filmswere polycrystalline and the intensity of the (211) plane of SnO2 decreased with an increase of Ta content. However, theorientation of the films changed from (211) to (110) with an increase in oxygen partial pressure (40 to 100mTorr) and substratetemperature. The crystallinity of the films also increased with the substrate temperature. The electrical resistivity measurementsshowed that the resistivity of the films decreased with an increase in Ta doping, which exhibited the lowest resistivity(ρ~1.1×10−3Ω·cm) for 10wt% Ta-doped SnO2 film, and then increased further. However, the resistivity continuouslydecreased with the oxygen partial pressure and substrate temperature. The optical bandgap of the 10wt% Ta-doped SnO2 filmincreased (3.67 to 3.78eV) with an increase in film thickness from 100-700nm, and the figure of merit revealed an increasingtrend with the film thickness.

선충절대기생세균(Pasteuria penetrans)이 감염되어 있는 온실토양을 이용하여 세균의 내생포자가 땅콩뿌리혹선충(Meloidogyne arenaria) 유충 표면에 부착하는데 대한 온도의 영향에 대해 시험하였다. 갓 부화된 뿌리혹선충 2령충(J2)을 페트리디쉬 내의 토양에 접종한 후 20℃, 25℃, 30℃, 35℃에서 7일간 처리하였다. 모든 온도에서 내생포자의 J2 부착률은 모두 100%로 나타났으나 J2당 내생포자 부착수는 25℃에서 28.3개로 가장 많았으며 30℃, 20℃ 및 35℃에서 각각 J2 당 20.2, 18.6 및 13.6개로 낮아졌다. J2를 접종하기 전에 세균이 있는 토양을 온도 별로 10일간 전처리하였을 때 내생포자 부착률은 실온에서의 60%에 비해 -30℃, 4℃, 40℃, 50℃ 및 100℃에서 각각 25.0, 31.7, 8.3, 5.0 및 0%로 현저하게 낮아졌다. J2 당 내생포자 부착수도 실온에서의 5.3개에 비해 -30℃, 4℃, 40℃, 50℃ 및 100℃에서 각각 3.5, 4.3, 1, 1, 0개로 적었다. P. penetrans 세균의 내생포자를 뿌리혹선충 종별로 J2에 부착 시험한 결과 땅콩뿌리혹선충에서는 100%였으나 당근뿌리혹선충(M. hapla)과 고구마뿌리혹선충(M. incognita)에서는 모두 0%로 본 균주는 뿌리혹선충 종에 대해 기주선호성을 가진 것으로 나타났다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of temperature and nematicides on endospore attachment characteristics of 2 Korean isolates of nematodeparasitic bacteria, Pasteuria penetrans. P. penetrans CJ-1 and 98-35 isolates and 3 species of root-knot nematodes in U. of Florida were used ; Meloidogyne incognita (MI), M. arenaria (MA), and M. javanica (MJ). Three nematicide levels of 2, 4, and 6 ppm were compared by treating Vydate and Nemacur in the endospore containing soils. The endospores were attached to the root-knot nematode juveniles by centrifugal method. Reproduction of the isolates was checked by observing root-knot nematode females harvested from inoculated tomato roots. 1. Among the two Korean isolates, 98-35 showed attachments to MI, MA, and MJ juveniles, but it could not reproduce in any species. CJ-1 reproduced on all the 3 tested root-knot nematode species. 2. Endospores pretreated in -14°C showed higher attachment rate than those pretreated in 4, 24, and 40℃. 3. Nemacur treatments significantly suppressed the attachment of the endospores to the juveniles, while Vydate treatment effects were negligible.

Adelograptus brevibrachiatus sp. novo is erected for materials previously referred to as Adelograptus cf. tenellus from the circum-Pacific area. The species shares many morphological characteristics with Adelograptus tenellus from Europe but differs from it by possessing typically short stipe lengths throughout rhabdosome due to less thecal density along the stipes. Taxonomic characteristics of A. cf. tenellus reported from circum-Pacific area are compared with each other. The paleogeographic distribution of A. tenellus seems to be restricted within Europe, while that of A. brevibrachiatus within circum-Pacific area.

최근 집중호우로 서울 강남구(’12), 부산(’13), 울산(’16), 인천, 부산(’17) 등 대도시 지역의 침수 피해가 증가하고 있다. 도시침수는 하천유역의 홍수 피해와는 달리 매우 짧은 시간에 피해가 발생하며, 시설물의 파괴보다는 주택, 차량, 상가 침수로 인한 재산 피해가 높은 비율을 차지하고 있다. 현재 우리나라의 호우에 대한 예 ․ 경보는 기상청에서 발표하는 호우 주의보 및 경보에 의존하고 있지만, 기상청의 호우 주의보 및 경보는 전국공통 지표를 사용함으로써 지역적 특성을 반영하지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 서울과 울산지역을 대상으로 지역별로 피해이력 기반의 한계강우량을 추정하였으며, 피해이력이 없어 한계강우량 추정이 불가능한 지역에 대해서는 유역특성이 반영된 Neuro-Fuzzy 모형을 통해 한계강우량을 예측하였다. 추정된 한계강우량을 통해 도시침수 위험기준을 설정하고 실제 침수사상에 적용한 결과 추정된 한계강우량은 실제 한계강우량과 1.8~20.4%의 오차를 보이고 있으며, 최소 28분에서 최대 70분의 대피시간을 확보 할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 도시침수 예 ․ 경보를 위한 위험기준으로 활용가능 할 것으로 판단된다.

Korean Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer (P. ginseng) is a well-known and one of the most important tonic herbs used in traditional Korean medicine. The pharmacological effects of P. ginseng have been reported by many researchers. Nevertheless, little is known between the mechanism of action and the active compounds. In this study, we performed a comprehensive proteomic analysis and protein categorization in order to understand the physiological characteristics of the major components in the adventitious roots of P. ginseng. Whole proteins extracted from the cultured adventitious roots of P. ginseng were separated by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2-DE). Among the 1000 spots which were detected by silver staining, 113 spots were labeled and identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight-mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). Our results showed that 40 proteins were identified among the 113 spots, with a hit ratio of 35.3%. A number of proteins identified on the 2-DE gels (30%; 16 spots) were involved in energy metabolism. These proteomic data will be helpful to better understand the physiological and pharmacological effects of P. ginseng.

Organic kiwifruit orchard soils were compared with conventional ones in Korea. Soil structure of organic soil had higher gaseous and liquous phase as well as soil porosity in the surface soil. Although the nutritional level of each orchards were quite different among soils, the analysis of both system revealed that organic kiwifruit orchard soil had similar or even higher nutrient level (N and organic matter content in surface soil) compared to conventional ones. The organic matter content of deep soil also had the high tendency in deep soil of organic soil. Higher level of nitrogen in organic surface soil is presumably due to the excessive application of organic compost and liquid fertilizer rather than the contribution by grasses such as green manure. Available phosphorous level of organic system was quite high but similar in surface soil of both system, compared to the recommended level. Potassium, calcium and magnesium levels were also enough in organic kiwifruit orchard soils.
