This experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of different feed conditions on growth, cast production and conversion efficiency of organic matter to the earthworm. The experiment was tested on cow manure(CM) mixed with rice hulls (RH) or rice straw(RS). The mixture ratios were designed as one time, two times and three times of cow manure volume, respectively. The CM and RH mixtures resulted better on growth rate, reproductive efficiency and wormcast production than those for CM and RS mixtures. Especially on three times of RH mixture showed the highest growth characteristics compared to the other mixtures. Although both were between 20 and 34 on carbon and nitrogen ratio, the result inferred that the difference on the growth might have been caused by feeding conditions. On the mixtures of cow manure with rice hulls(CM+RH) was significantly higher on values on the conversion rate and conversion efficiency of organic matter to earthworm tissues than the mixtures of cow manure with rice straw(CM+RS). The most concerned point of the mixture of earthworm feed is that high contents of volatile solid and total carbon that increases in conversion efficiency of organic matter to earthworm tissues, and also causes the increase in growth rate and reproductive efficiency. The wormcast could be used as a valuable plant growth medium or soil conditioner for sustainable agriculture and it may be due to their high qualities of physico-chemical properties.

콘크리트 노출 바닥판은 88 고속도로, 호남고속도로 확장, 제1중부고속도로 등의 1980년대에 건설된 고속도로 교량에 널리 적용되었다. 약 20년 정도 공용한 후에 콘크리트 노출 바닥판의 상태를 평가한 결과, 상당수의 교량들이 특별한 유지관리비가 소요되지 않고 공용중이다. 이러한 이유로 시공성, 유지관리 그리고 구조적인 관점에서 기존 콘크리트 노출 바닥판에 대한 공용성에 대한 재평가가 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 일환으로 콘크리트 노출 바닥판의 주요 손상원인 중의 하나인 철근 부식에 의한 박락을 유발시키는 제설 염화물에 침투 특성을 파악하고 바닥판의 수명을 평가하고자 고속도로 상에 공용중인 콘크리트 노출 바닥판에서 코어를 채취하여 깊이별 염화물을 측정하여 표면 염화물량 및 겉보기 확산계수를 구하였다.

장내미생물 개선에 효과가 있는 약용식물소재들을 탐색하여 정장제품 개발하고자 13종의 식물을 물과 에탄올로 각각 추출하여 농도별로 유해균인 C. perfringens, E. coli와 유익균인 B. longum의 생육에 미치는 영향을 in vitro실험으로 시험한 결과는 아래와 같다. 가. C. perfringens은 민들레와 인진쑥 물 추출물에, 돌나물, 오미자, 민들레, 부추, 생강, 쑥, 인진쑥, 질경이 에탄올추출물에 강하게 생육억제 되었다. 나. E. coli은 돌나물, 오미자 물과 에탄올 추출물에서 강하게 생육억제 되었다. 다. B. longum은 추출용매에 관계없이 생육에는 크게 영향을 주지 않았다. 라. 돌나물과 오미자 에탄올추출물이 유익균에 생육억제 없이, 두 유해균을 억제됨으로서 이들 소재가 정장제품으로의 개발 가능성이 있다고 생각되었다.

The direct payment program for rural landscape conservation in practice since 2005. Recently it is the policy or plan of direct payment for rural landscape conservation attracts great interests as they may help rural people who are very disadvantaged. This paper presents the status of the direct payment program for landscape conservation in rural area and proposed improvements to the program as following; 1) to diversify the plant species, 2) to include other rural elements than plants, 3) to enlarge the areas of crop plantation, 4) to simplify and clarify application process. We sampled two pilot programs, one of spring flower crop and the other of autumn flower crop, and questionnaire surveyed visitors, local government officers and farmers in order to find problems and suggest improvements.

Two sites with different average daily traffic volume at an intersection were selected in order to investigate water quality of the first flushes in the surface runoffs. The effects of rainfall intensities and accumulated non-rainy days before rainfall events on the water quality were also delineated. Samples were collected at every 2 min. interval from each first flush from February to May, 2004 for 4 major rainfall events. CODcr or SS concentrations at the site with an average daily traffic volume (ADTV) of 23,000 vehicles were 2-7 times higher than those at the site with an ADTV of 1,400 vehicles. The longer the accumulated non-rainy days were, the higher the concentration of heavy metals were than those of CODcr and SS in the first flushes.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of different mixture ratios of vermicasts on the growth of leaf beet(Beta vulgaris var. cicla), young radish (Raphanus sativus L), spinach(Spinacia oleracea) and lettuce(Lactuca sativa) The mixture of ratios of vermicast(fermented pig manure with sawdust) and peatmoss were 100%+0%, 60%+40%, 40%+60% and 0%+100%(control), respectively. The bulk density, particle density, pH, electrolytic conductivity, ash, total nitrogen, cation exchange capacity, available phosphorous and exchangeable cations increased significantly compared to those grown in the 100% of peatmoss(control). The significantly higher values of plant length, leaf area, shoot dry weight, root weight, root length and biological yield obtained were 40%~100% and 40% of vermicast in leaf beet and lettuce, respectively. The young radish and spinach showed that significantly differences of shoot dry weight, root weight and biological yield in the mixture ratios of vermicast were 40%~60% and 40% in young radish and spinach, respectively.

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin that exists in eight different forms, which are α , β , ~gamma , and δ tocopherol, and α , β , ~gamma , and δ tocotrienol. Tocopherols and tocotrienols are important antioxidant in foods, feeds and their raw materials, where they scavenge lipid radicals. Each form has its own biological activity, the measure of potency or functional use in the body. Antioxidants such as vitamin E act to protect cells against the effects of free radicals, which are potentially damaging by-products of the body's metabolism. Free radicals can cause cell dam-age that may contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease and cancer, The content of tocopherols and tocotrienols vary depending on the environmental condition such as growing regions, temperature, crops and varieties. This report deals with chemical and physical properties and extends to their nutritional and health effect on the tocopherols and tocotrienols in cereal grains.
