The esterification of the reactants of Jatropha oil and methanol added by propyleneglycol was done using p-TSA catalyst. And then the emulsification of triglyceride and methanol was conduced by 1.0vol% GMS. The emulsified reactants were transesterified at 65℃ using TMAH and mixed catalyst (50wt%-TMAH+50wt%-NaOH) respectively. The esterification conversion at the 1:8 molar ratio of free fatty acid to methanol using 8.0wt% p-TSA was 94.7% within 80min. The overall conversion at the 1:8 molar ratio of mixed fat(50wt% Beef Tallow) to methanol and 65℃ using mixed catalyst was 95.4% The cloud point of Biodiesel decreased with the addition of petroleum diesel.

A series of fishing experiments was carried out in the eastern coastal waters of Korea from January, 2002 to March, 2003, using gill nets of different mesh sizes (m 180, 210, 240, 270 and 300 mm) to determine the size selectivity of gill net for female snow crab, Chionoecetes opilio. The catch of experimental gears was mostly snow crab (97%), Chionoecetes opilio. The maximum carapace length (RL) of each female snow crab caught in the fishing experiments was measured. The master selection curve was estimated by applying the extended Kitahara s method. The selection curve showed that the gill nets of larger mesh size allowed more female crabs of small carapace size to escape. The optimum values of RL/m for 1.0 of retention probability was 0.563 and RL/m was estimated to be 0.249, 0.290, 0.319, 0.344 and 0.367 when the retention probability were 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5, respectively.

부탄올을 투과증발 공정으로 분리하기 위하여 복합공정에 의하여 투과증발막을 제조하였다. 상업용 poly(dime-thylsiloxane) (PDMS) 막을 plasma 처리시키거나, polysulfone, poly(ether imide) 막을 지지체로 사용하여 plasma 처리 및 PDMS 코팅의 복합공정을 적용하였다. 헥산계열과 실란계열 유기 화합물을 사용하여 PDMS막을 plasma 처리하였을 경우 막 표면의 소수성을 증가시켜서 부탄을 선택도가 12.56까지 향상되었다. 반면에 투과량은 막 표면의 소수성 증대와 free volume의 변화로 인해 1.15 kg/m 2 ⋅hr까지 감소되어 선택도와 반대의 성향을 나타내었다. 막의 소수성이 증가함에 따라 접촉각과 상대적 sorption 비가 증가하였고, 부탄을 선택도도 향상되었다. PDMS 코팅 용액에서 prepolymer의 함량이 높을수록 부탄올 선택도가 증가하였다. PDMS 코팅과 plasma 처리 공정의 순서에 따른 영향을 조사하였다. 부탄올과 노르말 헥산으로 plasma 처리할 경우 plasma처리, PDMS 코팅 순으로 제조된 막의 분리 성능이 우수하였고 hexamethyldisilane과 hex-amethyldisilazane을 사용한 경우에는 역순으로 제조된 막의 분리 성능이 더 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

한국은 매년 봄철 중국의 서부지역 및 몽골로부터 불어오는 황사 피해를 받고 있다. 황사발생은 현재 한국을 비롯하여 일본, 멀리 아메리카 대륙에 이르기까지 환경문제를 일으키고 있다. 중국의 서부지역은 장기간의 기후변화와 인간의 훼손행위로 인해 사막화가 급격히 가속되고 있는 실정이다. 이에 중국을 비롯한 각국은 식물식재를 통한 사막의 생태적인 복원을 모색하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 사막의 생태적인 식생복원을 위한 기초자료를 얻기 위해 중국 서북부의 대표적인 건조지인 빠이청(白城)지역의 식생을 조사하였다. 건조지에 1차적으로 침입한 강아지풀은 건조에 따른 토양의 염분농도 상승과 알칼리화와 더불어 Artemisia mongolica-강아지풀군락을 비롯하여 강아지풀-Cannabis sativa var. fruderalis 군락으로 천이하였다. 환경조건의 지속적인 악화와 더불어 강한 바람에 의한 증발량 상승으로 건조가 극심한 평지에서는 최종적으로 Artemisia mongolica 군락이 일부 잔존하였다. 시간변화에 따라 간헐적인 그늘이 생길 수 있는 구릉지는 상대적으로 공중습도가 확보될 수 있어 다른 유형의 식생이 나타났다. 조사대상지의 전 지역에 흔히 분포하는 남가새군락은 토양환경 악화와 더불어 남가새-Cleisrogenes squarrosa 군락으로 천이하였고 낮은 구릉지 지형조건에서 환경악화와 더불어 건조와 토양염분 및 강알칼 토양에 강한 Cleisrogenes squarrosa 군락이 최종적으로 형성되었다. 또한 본 조사지 일대에서 건조에 강한 27과 49속 58종 4변종의 총 62분류군의 고등식물이 나타났다. 이 가운데 환경내성이 뛰어난 국화과식물이 27.4%로 가장 많이 조사되었다.

The esterification of free fatty acid in Jatropha oil added by propylene glycol using p-TSA catalyst was done, and then the transesterification of Jatropha oil added by 1.0vol% GMS as an emulsifier using TMAH, and mixed catalyst(60wt%-TMAH+ 40wt%-KOH) respectively was followed at 60℃. The esterification conversion at the 1:8 molar ratio of free fatty acid to methanol using 8.0wt% p-TSA was 94.7% within 60min. The overall conversion at the 1:8 molar ratio of Jatropha oil to methanol and 60℃ using mixed catalyst was 95.4%. The kinematic viscosity of Biodiesel using TMAH and mixed catalyst in 24h met the ASTM D-6751 above 30℃, and showed a little more than its criterion.

This study aims to reduce the bycatch of young fishes and other species in the octopus(Octopus vulagris, Octopus dolfleini) trap fishery on the East Sea, Korea. We carried out field experiments and tank experiments to verify the fishing efficiency and bycatch with the different 8 types of trap. 4 of them had mesh size 20, 35, 55 respectively and 75mm, 2 of them with escape ring of diameter 30mm and 50mm and 2 of them with escape device. The gap was 20 and 40mm respectively. The mesh sizes of the traps with ring and frame were 20mm. The traps with mesh size 20 and 35mm were not reasonable because it could fish under 300g octopus as bycatch which is not permitted by the Korean fisheries regulations. The catch number of octopus over 300g by traps with escape ring of diameter 30mm was 53. The catch of trap with mesh size 20mm was 54. The catch of trap with mesh size 35mm was 53. There is no significant difference among them. The catch number of octopus over 500g that is fishermen's favorite one was 46 in the trap with escap ring. The diameter of was 30 mm and the catch of trap with mesh size 20mm was more 3 catch and the catch of trap with mesh size 35mm had 6 more catch. Fishermen wanted to catch over 500g octopus because the octopuses had commercial value. The traps with escape ring can be replaceable with he traps with mesh size 20 or 35mm because the trap is suitable to conserve the octopus resources and keep the fishermen's fishing substantiality.

The transesterifications of beef tallow and the mixture of beef tallow and rapeseed oil were conducted at 65℃ respectively using TMAH, NaOH and their mixed catalysts. The reactants were emulsified with 1vol% emulsifier and propylene glycol. The overall conversion of beef tallow was 95% at such optimum conditions as the 1:8 of molar ratio and 0.8 wt% TMAH. The overall conversion of mixed fat at the 1:8 of molar ratio and mixed catalyst of 70 wt% TMAH 30 wt% NaOH was close to 97% which appeared at 0.8 wt% TMAH in 80min. And the kinematic viscosity of biodiesel mixture using the mixed catalyst was 6.5mm2/s at 40℃.

한국중부 지역에 서식하는 수리부엉이(Bubo bubo)의 먹이를 확인하고 서식 환경에 따른 먹이습성을 파악하기 위하여 사냥흔적 및 먹이 잔존물 82개, 소화되지 않은 먹이 덩어리인 펠릿(pellet) 55개를 각각 분석하였다. 그 결과 조류, 포유류 및 곤충으로 구성된 총 150개체의 먹이가 확인되었으며, 그 중 조류의 이용 빈도(56.67%) 및 생물량(78.04%)이 가장 높았다. 집쥐류(Rattus spp.), 꿩(Phasianus colchicus), 등줄쥐(Apodemus agrarius)를 흔히 이용하였으나, 생물량 측면에서 꿩이 가장 중요한 먹이로 나타났다. 척추동물을 기준으로 한 수리부엉이 먹이의 평균 생물량은 503.3g으로서 비교적 다양한 크기의 먹이를 포식하였으나, 개활지 보다 산림지역에서 더 크고 다양한 먹이를 이용하였다. 산림지역에서는 꿩과 원앙(Aix galericulata) 등의 조류를 많이 포식하였으나, 특정 분류군을 선호하기 보다 적정 크기의 먹이를 선호하는 양상을 보였다. 반면 개활지에서는 소형의 특정 포유류(설치류)에 의존하면서 큰 생물량을 가진 꿩 등의 조류를 일부 이용하는 기회주의적인 먹이습성을 보였다.

The esterification of palmitic acid in rapeseed oil and methanol emulsified by propylene glycol with PTSA(p-toluene sulfonic acid) was followed by the transesterification of rapeseed oil into biodiesel with 1(w/v)% GMS(glycerol monostearate) as an emulsifier using TMAH(tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide) catalysts at 60℃. The former reaction was optimized at the 1:20 of molar ratio of oil to methanol and 5wt% PTSA, and the latter was optimized at the 1:8 of molar ratio of oil to methanol and 0.8wt% TMAH. The overall conversion into biodiesel was 98% after 60min of reaction time at the 1:8 of molar ratio, 0.8wt% TMAH and 60℃. TMAH was a good catalyst to control the viscosity of biodiesel mixture.

This study was planned to investigate the current using status of agricultural products in school food service both produced in Korea and imported from other countries and the dieticians' perception on using those. A total of 723 dieticians of 442 elementary schools and 381 middle high schools were surveyed in July, 2003 to perform the purposes of the study. A high using rate (93.4%) for Korean agricultural products was investigated. As for meat such as pork and chicken except beef and eggs, the using rate of Korean agricultural products was high. Almost 100% of vegetables and fruits, except tropical fruits such as banana, kiwi, orange and pineapple supplied for school food service were also Korean products. As for nuts and edible oil, the rate of using for Korean agricultural products was comparatively lower than those of other food items due to the price gap. Most dieticians rated the quality of the products produced in Korea higher than that of the imported products in the aspects of their freshness, taste, and safety. But they found no difference in the package condition of the products produced in Korea and of those imported from other countries. This result suggests that the package system should be improved for the agricultural products produced in Korea.

The transesterification of vegetable oils into Biodiesel at 60℃ was performed on the rotary viscometer. The overall yield(%) of fatty acid methyl ester from canola oil at optimum conditions was 95%. The viscosities of fatty acid methyl esters were predicted by Orrick and Erbarr's model. The overall yield increased as the viscosities of fatty acid methyl esters decreased. The limiting molar ratio of methanol to oil appeared to be 1:5. The content of sodium hydroxide as the optimum catalyst appeared to be 0.5wt%.

The behavior patterns of common octopus, Octopus minor to a cylindric trap were examined in the water tank using a video camera in order to know entering mechanism to the trap and to improve it. Fishing efficiency by 2 kinds of traps(A: 3 entrances, B: 2 entrances) was investigated in the coastal area of Deugryang Bay from May to July, 2005. Common octopus tends to approach by swimming more than walking towards trap. When they approached to the trap, they showed much more behaviors that sate at the around than upper part of it. Approaching behaviors of common octopus was more vigorous at nighttime than daytime on the trap, they showed the most vigorous action between 2 am and 4 am of the day. The rate of staying 30 seconds over around the trap was 41.5% in the nighttime. CPUE(g/trap) of common octopus caught by A type trap was 21.4% higher than the B type trap but there was no difference on the significance level of 5% by the ANOVA. Catch rate of common octopus and by-catch species caught by the A type trap were 97.2%, three and 98.7%, two for B type trap, respectively.
