We identified cdf based on screening of the Arabidopsis cDNA library for functional suppressors of the AtBI-1 (a gene described to suppress the cell death induced by Bax gene expression in yeast). The cdf was located on Chr. V and was composed of 5 exons and 4 introns. It encodes a protein of 258 amino acid residues with a molecular weight of 28.8 kDa. The protein has 3 transmembrane domains in the C-terminal region. The cdf has one homologue, named cdf2, which was found in Arabidopsis. Like cdf, cdf2 also induced growth defect in yeast. The effect of the cell growth defect factor was somewhat lower than Bax. cdf could arrest the growth of yeast. Its localization to the nucleus was essential for the suppression of yeast cell proliferation. Morphological abnormality of intracellular network, which is a hallmark of AtBI-1, was attenuated by expression of cdf.
Major and reckless development which have been continued during the last half century, have caused decrease and damage of urban green spaces in the point of qualitative and quantitative view. Particularly, it brought about reduction to urban neighborhood park which has taken the main role for landscape ecological value. Recently, neighborhood park planning based on the landscape ecological results has been increasing gradually. Most of all, diverse attempts such as the application of shape character analysis and the step of landscape ecological planning in urban park planning have been proposed. Today, we recognize the importance of comprehensive approach in urban green planning and neighborhood park planning, but landscape ecological approach which is analyzing character and making proposal with isolation, connection and circulation is still insufficient. Most of neighborhood parks in Korea are surrounded by buildings and isolated from adjacent green spaces. Besides, these parks have landscape ecological problems such as reduction of size, isolation from adjacent green spaces, decline of nature, and excessive pavement which we ignored during urban development process. We have sympathy for understanding landscape ecological characters and considering improvement proposals for neighborhood parks Therefore, the purpose of this study was to 1) select five neighborhood parks in Daegu, 2) analyze landscape ecological characters with isolation, connection and circulation, and 3) compare data. It is certain that these results should be the main data for the arrangement of improvement proposals which landscape ecological characters were appled to.
본 연구는 우리나라 플라스틱온실 피복재의 피복방법 및 관리방법을 개선할 수 있는 방안을 구명하는데 필요한 자료를 제공하기 위하여 상업용으로 운영되고 있는 대표적인 구조 및 피복형태의 온실에 대하여 겨울철 온실 내부의 광합성유효광량자속을 측정하고 변화를 분석하였으며 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 일일적산 광합성유효광량자속의 월중 변화를 분석한 결과 모든 온실에 있어서 광량변화의 경향이 일조시간의 변화 경향과 대체로 잘 일치하는 것으로 나타났으나, 온실 간에 일일적산 광량의 차이는 상당히 큰 것으로 나타났으며, 겨울철에는 모든 온실이 토마토 생육에 필요한 적정 광량에 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 월평균 일일적산 광합성유효광량자속의 연중변화를 분석한 결과 실험온실 모두 투과광량을 높이기 위하여 겨울철에도 내부피복재를 대부분 개방하였기 때문에 내부피복재의 오염으로 인한 광투과율의 저하는 미미하였으며 주로 외부피복재의 오염으로 인해 투과광량이 감소하는 것으로 분석되었다. PO필름으로 피복된 단동온실의 광 투과 성능이 매우 우수하다는 사실을 확인할 수 있었다. 피복재를 더 효율적으로 사용하기 위해서는 피복재의 교체시기를 겨울철광량이 부족한 시기가 시작되기 전인 10월 또는 11월경으로 하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 판단되었다. 온실간 광량의 차이가 최대 40%정도까지 나기 때문에 투과광량이 낮은 온실은 즉시 피복재를 교체하여 광투과율을 높이는 것이 경제적일 것으로 판단되었다. 온실의 투과광량 감소요인을 분석한 결과 투과광량을 감소시키는 내부요인은 보온커튼, 내부피복재, 결로받이 등인 것으로 분석되었다. 광폭형 단동온실의 경우에는 비교적 넓은 온실 폭의 중앙에 보온커튼과 내부피복재를 걷어 두고 있기 때문에 온실 전체 폭에 비해 걷혀 있는 보온커튼과 내부피복재의 폭이 비교적 작아 다른 온실에 비해 광 손실이 상대적으로 적을 것으로 분석되었다. 종합적으로 비교해 볼 때 광폭형 단동온실이 광 투과 측면에서 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났고 내부피복재를 중앙에서 권취하여 개방하는 형태의 온실이 가장 바람직하지 못한 것으로 분석되었다.
Sea-buckthorn fruits (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) are used in Mongolia as traditional medicine due to the health-benefits associated with its bioactive components. The purpose of this study was to investigate the chemical composition of Mongolian sea-buckthorn fruits. In terms of proximate composition, crude fat content was the highest, whereas its crude ash content was the lowest. In organic acid contents, malic acid content ( mg/g) was the highest. Free sugars were composed of sucrose, xylose, glucose and mannitol. Vitamin C and carotenoid content were 320 mg/100 g and 715.25 mg/100 g, respectively. The major fatty acids were palmitic (C16:0), palmitoleic (C16:1), caprylic (C8:0) and linoleic (C18:2) acid.
As a part of abating formaldehyde emission of urea-formaldehyde resin, this study was conducted to investigate the rmalcure kinetics of both neat and modified urea-formaldehyde resins using differential scanning calorimetry. Neat urea-formaldehyde resins with three different formaldehyde/urea mol ratios (1.4, 1.2 and 1.0) were modified by adding three different additives (sodium bisulfite, sodium hydrosulfite and acrylamide) at two different levels (1 and 3wt%). An isoconversional method at four different heating rates was employed to characterize thermal cure kinetics of these urea-formaldehyde resins to obtain activation energy () dependent on the degree of conversion (). The values of neat urea-formaldehyde resins (formaldehyde/urea = 1.4 and 1.2) consistently changed as the increased. Neat and modified urea-formaldehyde resins of these two F/U mol ratios did show a decrease of the at the final stage of the conversion while the of neat urea-formaldehyde resin (formaldehyde/urea = 1.0) increased as the increased, indicating the presence of incomplete cure. However, the change of the values of all urea-formaldehyde resins was consistent to that of the Ea values. The isoconversional method indicated that thermal cure kinetics of neat and modified urea-formaldehyde resins showed a strong dependence on the resin viscosity as well as diffusion control reaction at the final stage of the conversion.
Fresh oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) were gamma-irradiated at 0, 1, 2, and 3 kGy. The effects on various quality attributes were determined during storage at . Color changes were more prominent in the cap region than the stem part. At the start of storage increase of Hunter's L-value (lightness) was observed in the caps of 2 and 3 kGy-irradiated samples. The L-value was higher in the all irradiated samples during storage. The trend was different in the case of stem region, where L-value decreased upon irradiation, but remained high throughout storage. The -value declined, whereas the b-value increased following irradiation. Irradiation showed a dose-dependent effect on the firmness, which was clearer during storage, but the samples irradiated at 1 kGy maintained an overall better texture than other irradiated samples. The weight loss was also higher in the all irradiated samples during storage. The samples irradiated at 1 kGy showed good physical appearance without any fungal attack at the end of storage; however color change in cap region was quite apparent. The ultra-structural drastic effect of irradiation was understandable using scanning electron microscopy. E-nose analysis demonstrated a clear change in the volatile profiles of all irradiated samples. Although the effect of irradiation on quality characteristics was quite clear but the all irradiated samples were free from fungal attack that was observed in the case of control sample.
