Most soybean sprouts grown in factories are sold on the market. When the soybean sprouts grow up to lateral root initiation, the rate and absolute amount of asparagine in the roots of all sprouts are comparatively low. To extract the greatest amount of asparagine from soy-sprouts, it is advantageous to grow sprouts more than 16 days. When sprouts were grown with ozonic water, it was possible to grow sprouts more than 16 days without any rotting problems. The content of asparagine in the sprouts were proportionally increased up to 16 days. When sprouts were grown in 0.2% of urea, the content of asparagine in sprouts were significantly increased. Soybean sprouts grown at room temperature showed the highest yield rate and asparagine content, at the same time.

재발율이 높고, 장기간 동안 보호와 치료가 필요한 정신장애인에게 가족은 매우 중요한 역할을 하게 된다. 정신장애인의 가족이 질환에 대한 긍정적인 태도와 적극적인 치료적 태도를 갖는 것은 환자뿐 아니라 가족의 욕구 충족과 스트레스를 경감시켜 주므로 궁극적으로 환자의 치료에 도움이 되는 자원이 될 것이다. 이에 본 서에서는 정신장애인 가족의 특성과 정신장애가 가족에게 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보고, 정신장애인을 대하는 가족들의 긍정적인 태도 변화를 위해 가족을 대상으로 하는 심리 교육적 접근 방법에 대해 고찰해 보고자 한다. 세부적으로는 정신건강교육, 의사소통기술훈련, 문제해결기술훈련, 지지적 가족 상담의 프로그램을 제시하였다.

본 연구는 초미세분쇄기술을 이용하여 옥수수전분의 입자구조파괴가 이루어졌을 때 분자구조적, 물리적 변화가 어떻게 이루어지는지를 구명하고자 하였다. 초미세 분쇄처리 후 옥수수전분의 평균직경은 약 50% 감소가 이루어졌으며 비표면적은 567% 증가하였다. 초미세분쇄처리 전·후의 옥수수전분에 대한 분자량분포를 GPC로 측정한 결과 분쇄 후 저분자량의 Peak II의 면적이 21.0%에서 86.5%로 상승하였다. 손상전분 함량은 각각 9.63%와 83.57%로 초미세분쇄처리에 의하여 크게 증가하였다. 옥수수전분의 경우는 겔(gel)을 형성하였으나 초미세분쇄처리 후에는 전분의 분쇄과정에서 전분입자파괴와 아울러 옥수수전분의 분자량이 저분자화 되면서 겔 형성능력이 크게 저하되었다.

중․고등학교에서 한문 교과가 독립 교과의 지위를 가지게 된 것은 1972년 교 육법 시행령이 개정되면서부터이다. 한문과목이 학교 교육 과정에서 독립 교과로 설정되기 전에도 한문 교육이 여전히 시행되고 있었지만, 법적으로는 국어과 교육 내용의 일부로 간주되어 왔다. 따라서 한문 교과를 독립 교과로 인정한 1972년의 조치는 한문 교육을 위한 일대 전환점을 마련한 계기가 되었다. 1972년 한문 교과의 위상 변화까지 한문 교육은 매우 혼란한 시기를 겪어 왔다. 갑오개혁 이후부터 우리글을 ‘국문’, 우리말을 ‘국어’라고 부른 자각 운동이 시작되 었다. 한글에 대한 새로운 자각은 개화파 인사들이 중심을 이루었고 그들 중 한글 에 지속적 관심을 가진 이들이 이후의 어문 정책을 주도하게 된다. 그들은 35년간 억눌렸던 우리말을 되찾아 한글을 전용하자는 감상적 애국주의에 기초하여 국가 의 어문 정책을 결정하였다. 이로 인하여 한자, 한문은 척결의 대상이 되었고 봉건 적, 부정적 요소라는 인식이 팽배해졌다. 그 후 박정희 대통령은 한글전용 정책을 근본적으로 지지하여 1968년 10월 25일에 한글 전용 촉진 7개 사항 을 발표하 고 70년 1월 1일부터 모든 공문서에서 한자 사용을 금지 시킨다. 또한, 외적으로 북한과의 경쟁적 어문정책으로 한글 전용을 촉진시켰으며, 대 일 무역과 경제 협력으로 한문의 필요성이 요구되어 한문 교과의 위상변화를 주 도한다. 본고는 이상과 같이 언어 사회적 격동기에 한문과 위상 변화를 내적으로는 몇 몇 권력을 손에 쥔 정책자에 의해 어문 정책이 주도된 점과 외적으로 북한과 일본 과의 관계를 주목하여 1972년 한문교과 위상 변화에 영향을 미친 斷想을 논의하 고자 한다.

This paper presents a new method for the improvement of color temperature without the change of the driving scheme using transparent dielectric layers with various metal oxides (CeO2, Co3O4, CuO, Fe2O3, MnO2, NiO) in plasma display panels (PDP). In this study, we fabricated ZnO-B2O3-SiO2-Al2O3 glasse with various metal oxides and examined the optical properties of these glasses. As the metal oxides were added to the glasses, the visible transmittances of the dielectric layers decreased and the transmittances in special wavelength regions were reduced at different rates. The change of the transmittance in each wavelength range induced the variation of the visible emission spectra and the change of the color temperature in the PDP. The addition of Co3O4 and CuO slightly decreased the intensity of the blue light, but the intensities of the green and the red light were significantly decreased. Therefore, the color temperature can be improved from 6087K to 7378K and 7057K, respectively.

전라북도 전주시의 전주천에서 2000년 4월부터 2002년 12월까지 상류인 한벽교부터 삼천 합류지점까지 도심을 관통하는 7.2km의 구간에서 "자연형하천 조성사업" 이루어졌으며, 이에 대한 전주천의 자연형 하천 조성 사업 전과 후의 어류상 및 군집을 조사하였다. 조사 결과 조성사업 이전인 1975년부터 1999년까지 전주천에서는 12종~8종의 어류가 출현하였으나, 공사 이후인 2003년~2008년 사이에는 총 34종이 확인되어 어류의 다양성이 크게 향상되었다. 특히 도심지인 중류지점 (다가교-서신교사이)에서는 공사이전에는 5종의 적은 종이 출현하였으나 공사 이후에는 22종으로 급증하는 특징을 보였다. 이러한 어류상의 변화는 자연형 하천 공사로 인해 생활하수의 유입 차단으로 인한 전주천의 수질개선 및 직강화 되고, 평탄화 되어 있던 하천에서 여울과 소가 반복적으로 나타났으며, 또한 하상구조도 돌과 자갈, 모래, 진흙 등으로 다양화되어 어류의 서식공간이 다양화되었기 때문으로 생각된다.

Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and theaflavins (TF) are polyphenols included in green and black teas, respectively. Both green and black teas have been studied for their potential health benefits for cancer. Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) has been implicated multiple physiological and pathophysiological pathways, particularly, oncogenesis. But, the molecular pathways that govern the cell response to EGCG are not fully elucidated. The present study investigated the intracellular mechanism in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells treated with EGCG, focusing on HIF-1 expression and its effect on epithelial phenotype. EGCG decreased phosphorylated Raf-1 protein in YD 8 OSCC cell, but B-raf protein was not affected at all by EGCG and TF. In addition, we here found that EGCG regulated HIF-1α expression independent of Raf-1 protein. Taken together with our previous result, the result imply that EGCG is attributed to the HIF-1α expression via Raf/MEK/ERK pathway, and the HIF-1α expression is associated with the change of epithelial phenotype in OSCC cell.

The potato tuber moth (PTM, Phthorimaea operculella (Zeller)) is a serious pest of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) plants in the field in regions with warm temperate to tropical climates, and of tubers stored under ambient temperatures post-harvest. Although PTM can be a minor to serious pest depending on the area and year, this pest is getting more and more serious to potato fields in Korea according to accidental surveys. Son (1979) represented 12.5℃ of average annual temperature as northern limit of distribution where corresponding to Youngdeog, Dalseong, Boseong and Jindo regions. Soon after, Choi and Park (1980) reported that the northern limit of PTM distribution coincided with -8℃ isotherm for average annual minimum temperature of January. In recent years, concerns on PTM occurrence and damage to potato are increasing due to climate change resulted in global warming. We carried out an extensive survey of PTM distribution using sex pheromone traps at 24 sites across the nation in 2009. As a result, we confirmed that the northern limit of PTM distribution climbed to southern Gyeonggi and middle Gangwon regions from Gyeongbuk and Chungbuk regions indicated by Choi and Park (1980). Hereafter, we are trying to investigate why drastic going northward of PTM happened in Korea. Here is one presumption that a sudden rise in average temperature has occurred during 30 years, from 6.34℃ in 1973 to 7.62℃ in 2007, especially around Daegwallyeong area where is a typical highland with 800 m high.

Climate change and global warming are directly effecting the population dynamics of insects of medical importance and insect pests of agricultural commodities during the last few years. The outbreak of some insect-borndiseases and decreasing yield of agricultural products are both caused and results of climate change are known everywhere in the world. Recent reports of honey bee diseases and out breaks, as well as increase in the incidence of CCD(Collapse Colonial Disease) are causing great concerns and pose big problem for our bee keepers in many countries in North America and Europe. These important infectious diseases are possible carried and propagated by bee mites primarily by Varroa mites, which have recently experienced increasing populations in USA and UK includes some European countries. Recently some Asian honey bees adapted to live in the urban areas as the example of Apis dorsata move to Mae Fah Luang Campus more than 30 colonies and even in Chulalonkorn Campus more than 10 colonies increase from few colonies in the the last few years. Apis florea have been found more than 161 colonies this year in Kanchanaburi (River Kwai province) this year(2009). The discussion of some wild honey bees migration will concentrate on research program of our bee research unit of the university in Thailand.

The study investigated occurrence of major insect pests and damage to 16-30 representative apple orchards in major apple production area of 4-8 cities and counties in Gyeongsang Provinces and Jeonbuk province for 17 years from 1992 to 2008. In addition, it examined the hatching time of the overwintered eggs of European red mite (Panonychus ulmi) and apple leaf-curling aphid (Myzus malisuctus) at the Apple Research Station in Gunwi-gun, the Gyeongbuk Province from 1993 to 2009, and conducted a survey on the occurrence rate of oriental fruit moth (Grapholita molesta) and peach fruit moth by means of sex pheromone traps at 2-5 day intervals to look into the changes in the occurrence. As the result of survey on the insect pests of representative apple orchards, the population density of two spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae) was higher then that of Panonychus ulmi from 1992 to 1999 while it became lower than Panonychus ulmi from 2000. Although there was difference in spiraea aphid (Aphis citricola) by year, but the occurrence density tended to decline from 1992. Lyonetia prunifoliella had not become a problem in apple orchards before the 1990’s, but it started occurring in 1993-1994 and increased rapidly in the late 1990’s. Later, it has consistently increased as leafminer with Phyllonorycter ringoniella in apple orchards. Tortricid insect pests increased the most highly in the late 1990’s, but it has not been a problem after 2000 and the occurrence and damage by Grapholita molesta was higher than that of Carposina sasakii in apple orchards after 1997. Besides, the damage by stink bugs as well as ambrosia beetles has increased after 2000. In the 2000’s, the initial hatching date of overwintered eggs of Panonychus ulmi and Myzus malisuctus ulmi was 18 and 14 days earlier, the 50% hatching date was 7 and 6 days earlier, and the final hatching date was 1 and three days earlier respectively than that of the 1990’s. In the 2000’s, the first occurrence of Grapholita molesta and Carposina sasakii was earlier by 5 days compared to the 1900’s, and the first occurrence of apple insect pests tended to become earlier compared to the 1990’s.

Deciduous tree fruits such as pears and apples are widely grown in the Pacific Northwest of the United States and are well adapted to the seasonal environment in that region. Extended cold periods provide adequate chilling to break dormancy and reinitiate growth in the spring. Cold exposure synchronizes the physiological processes and makes sure that bloom is uniform and that fruit matures in a uniform manner. As a result of global warming, some fruit-growing areas may experience inadequate cold exposure during the winter months, gradually shifting the southern boundary for production of deciduous fruits further north. However, climate change will affect not only growth and fruiting habits of fruit trees but also the insect and mite pests which feed on them. There is general agreement that in temperate regions a trend towards warmer summers and milder winters will generally benefit insect and mite pests and increase their injuriousness. Temperature changes in particular will impact the development, mortality, phenology, and voltinism of fruit pests. Here we discuss how climate change may affect pests and control practices on deciduous tree fruits in the Hood River Valley of northern Oregon. This small valley extends in a north-south direction from the Columbia River to the foothills of Mt. Hood and is characterized by a varied topography and large altitudinal differences (sea level to 600 m). The major pest of pears and apples in that area is codling moth, Cydia pomonella L., a cosmopolitan pest which is present in most deciduous fruit-growing areas of the world. Like its host trees, the codling moth is well adapted to a seasonal environment. Diapause is the principal mechanism which synchronizes its phenology with the tree and the presence of fruit, the larval food source. Diapausing overwintering larvae require cold exposure (chilling) to terminate diapause in late winter or early spring. At the lower elevations close to the Columbia River the codling moth is bivoltine but gradually becomes univoltine at the higher elevations where the growing season is shorter and fewer heat units (above 10oC) are available for development. Long-term temperature records from the lower Hood River Valley indicate that the 25 years since 1985 have been considerable warmer than the 25 years prior to 1985. For instance, the average heat units available for codling moth development over a season have increased by more than 10% over the last 25 years. The codling moth is adapting to this warming trend by gradually increasing its voltinism (number of generations). As a result, the severity of codling moth as a pest can be expected to increase. Therefore, fruit growers will have to adjust and intensify control practices to keep fruit free from codling moth damage. We will also explore how other fruit and foliage feeding pests which are part of the pest complex of pears and apples in northern Oregon fare under different global warming scenarios compared to codling moth.

Vector-borne diseases are transmitted to humans by blood-feeding arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas. These cold-blooded animals are influenced by environmental change. A recent report by IPCC showed that the emission of greenhouse gases has already changed world climates. Heat waves in Europe, rises in global mean sea level, summer droughts and wild fires, more intense precipitation, and increasing numbers of large cyclones, hurricanes and typhoon may be typical example of extreme climate phenomena related to global warming. High temperatures during winter season may increase survival rate among arthropod vectors in Temperate Zone. Warming may accelerate the spread of mosquitoes such as Aedes albopictus in the northern parts of Japan and European countries. The spread of the mosquito vector through global used-tire trading in recent decades to Africa, the Mideast, Europe, and North and South America caused an outbreak of Chikungunya fever in north Italy in 2007.
