Green strength is an important property of powders since high green strength guarantees easy and safe handling before sintering. The green strength of a powder compact is related to mainly mechanical and surface characters, governed by interlocking of the particles. In this study, the effect of powder surface roughness on the green strength of iron powders was investigated using a transverse rupture test. Three-dimensional laser profiler was employed for quantitative analyses of the surface roughness. Two different surface conditions, i.e. surface roughness, of powders were compared. The powders having rough surfaces show higher green strength than the round surface powders since higher roughness leads increasing interlocked area between the contacting powders.

The green peach aphid, Myzus persicae Sulzer, is one of the most important pests affecting protected and open-grown crops, because they cause direct damage by feeding on crops and indirect damage as virus vectors. It has recently become a serious problem because of the continuous use of insecticide resulting in resistance among green peach aphid population. Thus, the development of entomopathogenic fungi as aphid biocontrol agents has received increasing interest as part of integrated control strategies. In this study, we report the screening result of pathogenic fungi for the control of green peach aphid. Initial screenings were performed using 347 isolates of putative pathogenic fungi from Korea soils. As results, 20 isolates of entomopathogenic fungi were isolated from cadavers of green peach aphid supporting fungal conidiation. These isolates were identified as three strains of Lecanicillium attenuatum, nine strains of Beauveria bassiana, one strain of Metarhizium anisopliae, one strain of Metarhizium flavoviride, five strains of Paecilomyces lilacinus, one strain of Aspergillus sp. by microscopic examination, genetic sequencing of the ITS region and Universally Primed PCR (UP-PCR). Based on the screening results, twenty isolates were tested for their pathogenicity against adult green peach aphid. All fungal isolates were pathogenic to green peach aphid but mortality varied with isolates. These entomopathogenic fungi may be useful to develop eco-friendly insecticide to control green peach aphid.

The green peach aphid, Myzus persicae (Sulzer), is one of the most important insect pests in the world. We have explored the possibility of using sounds as a stressor to control this species. Five sine wave frequencies (100, 500, 1000, 5000, 10000 Hz) with combination of three intensity (66, 78, 90 dB) were used as acoustic stimuli in the playback experiments. For behavioral bioassay, we examined frequencies of honeydew production (HDP) and wagging behavior, and duration of moving behavior. The HDP occurs regularly during each stage of nymphal or mature period, and rate of the HDP indicates a degree of food consumption. Aphids conduct wagging to determine a host plant or to find a feeding site. The moving behavior may be regarded as dispersal. As results, all acoustic stimuli significantly reduced rate of the HDP and increased rate of the moving behavior. There was a significant effect to induce the moving behavior in the test of 5000 Hz. In addition, the acoustic stimuli using 5000 Hz were the most effective to disturb feeding behavior of M. persicae at an individual level.

Aphids feed on host plants by penetrating the stems or leaves with stylets. The feeding behavior of aphids consists of probing, penetration, salivation, and sap ingestion. To assess the effects of sound on feeding behavior, we monitored the stylet activity of the green peach aphid, Myzus persicae (Sulzer), using electrical penetration graph (EPG). The use of EPG was critical for determining the stage, frequency, and duration of feeding in aphids. We played back four acoustic stimuli of sine waves with frequencies of 100, 500, 1000, and 5000 Hz to adult aphids. When the sound was treated, the frequencies of probing, penetration, and salivation increased, whereas the duration of sap ingestion decreased. The 100 Hz and 500 Hz was significantly effective to disturb ingestion of phloem sap. The results of EPG revealed that the acoustic stimuli may restrict aphid feeding by disturbing sap ingestion.

As environmental protection is becoming more and more important, green production has become a key issue for almost every manufacturer and will determine a manufacturer can be sustainable in the long term. Therefore a performance evaluation system for green suppliers is necessary to determine the suitability of suppliers to cooperate with the company. While the works on the evaluation and/or selection of suppliers are abundant, those that concern environmental issues are rather limited. The objective of this study is to construct a combined model based on fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) and balanced scorecard (ESC) for evaluating green suppliers in the manufacturing industry. The ESC concept is applied to define the hierarchy with four major perspectives (i.e. financial, customer, internal business process, and learning and growth), and performance indicators are selected for each perspective. FAHP is then proposed in order to tolerate vagueness and ambiguity of information. Finally, FAHP is finally constructed to facilitate the solving process. With the proposed model, manufacturers can have a better understanding of the capabilities that a green supplier must possess and can evaluate and select the most suitable green supplier for cooperation.

A greening phenomenon has been observed in some plant foods such as chestnut, sweet potato,burdock, and others during processing. The formation of the pigments was postulated as reactions of primary amino compounds with chlorogenic acid or caffeic acid ester, yielding acridine derivatives. Acridine derivatives have been regarded as mutagenetic agents. For the reason, the bacterial reverse mutation test was carried out to evaluate the genotoxicity of green pigment using Salmonella typhimurium TA98 and TA100. Alanine, arginine, aspartic acid, glycine,lysine, and phenylalanine were reacted repectively with chlorogenic acid to synthesize model compound. Green pigment was extracted from sweet potato. Maximum concentration of 2 and 50 mg/plate was tested for the synthetic green pigments and extracted green pigment respectively, taking bacterial survival, solubility, and color intensity into consideration. There was no signigicant increase in the reverse mutation either with or without S9 activation system by any test material. Though further studies with other genotoxicity test system are necessary, both synthetic and sweet potato green pigments seemed not to cause mutation despite the acridine moiety in their structures.

The purpose of this study was to examine the structural relationships among the benefit sought, satisfaction, and loyalty of green tea consumers, including the moderating effect of age. Data were collected from 658 residents of Seoul and Gyeonggi-do Province who were 20-years-old and older and who had purchased green tea. The SPSS 15.0 and LISREL 8.80 statistical package were used for the analysis, and frequency, reliability, an exploratory factor analysis, a confirmatory factor analysis, and a path analysis were conducted. The results showed that the health benefit and enjoyment among benefit sought had a positive effect on satisfaction. Satisfaction of green tea consumers had a positive effect on loyalty. The analysis indicated that age moderated the relationship among benefit sought, satisfaction, and loyalty. The results could enable green tea marketers to develop marketing techniques that could expand green tea consumption.

본 연구는 1975년부터 2006년까지 서울시 녹지 연결망의 시계열 변화를 그래프 이론을 적용하여 공간의 다중규모(multi-scale)에서 정량적으로 분석하였다. 분석대상 시기 동안, 서울시 녹지 연결망의 변화가 크게 나타난 공간 규모는 녹지 간 1,000 ~ 1,600 m 거리였다. 1990년 이후 난개발로 단편화되고 훼손되었던 녹지들과 연결망이 점차 복원되고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 2006년 개별 녹지의 연결망 분석을 통해, 핵심 녹지와 징검다리 녹지의 두 가지 유형의 녹지 연결망 분포를 확인하였다. 서울시 녹지 분포는 연결성 중요도 지수와 상관관계가 높아서, 남쪽과 북쪽의 가장자리에 핵심 녹지가 분포하고 동쪽, 서쪽, 중앙에 매개 중심성이 높은 징검다리 녹지가 분포함을 정량적으로 표현할 수 있었다. 따라서 서울시 녹지 연결망은 그래프 이론을 적용하여 연결 중심성, 매개 중심성, 연결 중요도 지수 등으로 정량적으로 표현될 수 있다.

본 연구는 지속가능한 옥상녹화 식재계획을 위하여 관리조방형 옥상녹화 식재식물에 대한 다년간 조사결과를 토대로 피복률 변화의 양상을 분석하고 피복특성을 유형화하였다. 실험대상지는 2007년에 조성된 서울여자대학교 행정관 옥상녹화지이며 식물은 기린초 등을 포함한 4종류의 세덤류와 층꽃나무 등 다년생 초화류 14종을 포함하여 총 18종 이식재되었다. 식재식물 피복변화 모니터링은 2007년부터 2009년까지 3년간 실시하였다. 조사결과 피복률은 식재 후2년이 경과한 2008년에는 전반적으로 안정세를 보이거나 다소 증가한 반면 2009년 들어서는 세덤류와 섬백리향 등총 6종을 제외하고는 대다수 감소하는 양상을 보였다. 피복양상을 관찰한 결과 크게 4가지 유형으로 식재지유지형, 인접지역 잠식형, 포복 확산형, 산발 확산형으로 분류하였다. 또한 주요기간의 피복률 데이터를 종속변수로 하여 식재후 경과 시간과 단순회귀분석을 실시하였으며, 최종적으로 총 8종에서 통계적 유의수준 하에서 피복률 변화양상 예측모델이 도출되었다. 향후 다양한 식물들에 대한 장기적인 피복특성 모니터링을 통해 지속가능한 옥상녹화 식재계획을 위한 다양한 식물정보 구축이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

[ Zn2(1-x)MnxSiO4 ]0.07≤x≤0.15) green phosphor was prepared by solid state reaction. The first heating was at 900˚C-1250˚C in air for 3 hours and the second heating was at 900˚C in N2/H2(95%/5%) for 2 hours. The size effect of SiO2 in forming Zn2SiO4 was investigated. The temperature for obtaining single phase Zn2SiO4 was lowered from 1100˚C to 1000˚C by decreasing the SiO2 particle size from micro size to submicro size. The effect of the activators for the Photoluminescence (PL) intensity of Zn2SiO4:Mn2+ was also investigated. The PL intensity properties of the phosphors were investigated under vacuum ultraviolet excitation (147 nm). The emission spectrum peak was between 520 nm and 530 nm, which was involved in green emission area. MnCl2·4H2O, the activator source, was more effective in providing high emission intensity than MnCO3. The optimum conditions for the best optical properties of Zn2SiO4:Mn2+ were at x = 0.11 and 1100˚C. In these conditions, the phosphor particle shape was well dispersed spherical and its size was 200 nm.

본 연구에서는 벽면녹화시스템에 식재된 사초류의 방위(광도)에 따른 생육반응 및 옥상녹화시스템에 식재된 사초류의 토양깊이에 따른 생육차이 등을 조사하고자 하였으며, 사초류가 다양한 형태로 활용될 수 있도록 기초적인 자료들을 제시하고자 하였다. 벽면녹화 및 일반컨테이너의 온도변화를 비교한 결과, 벽면녹화의 경우 온도가 낮아지는 것을 알 수 있었고, 주로 화창한 날씨가 유지된 8~9월 동안에 차이가 뚜렷하였다. 테스타시아사초, 에버골드 및 털대사초 등은 높은 광도에서 생육이 우수하고(0~1799μM·m-2·s-1), 상록갈사초, 줄무늬사초, 대사초 및 흰줄무늬실사초는 낮은 광도에 적합한 것으로 판단되었다(0~786μM·m-2·s-1). 광도가 낮을수록 식물의 색이 선명해져 관상가치가 증가하였는데, 본 연구에서는 무늬의 변화에 대한 고려가 이루어지지 않아 추가적인 연구가 이루어져야 할 것으로 사료되었다. 토양깊이별 수분함량은 10cm의 경우 배수층 없이 혼합용토로만 이루어져 높게 유지되는 것으로 나타났고, 대부분의 사초류들도 10cm 깊이에서 생육이 좋았다. 에버골드, 대사초 및 테사타시아사초등은 토양깊이 20cm에서 생육이 우수하였다. 흰줄무늬실사초와 털대사초 노란무늬종은 토양깊이 40cm에서 생육이 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 사초류가 10~20cm의 낮은 토심에서도 생육이 우수하여 옥상녹화 소재로 충분히 도입 가능할 것으로 판단되었다.

We have synthesized bluish-green, highly-efficient BaSi2O2N2:Eu2+ and (Ba,Sr)Si2O2N2:Eu2+ phosphors through aconventional solid state reaction method using metal carbonate, Si3N4, and Eu2O3 as raw materials. The X-ray diffraction (XRD)pattern of these phosphors revealed that a BaSi2O2N2 single phase was obtained. The excitation and emission spectra showedtypical broadband excitation and emission resulting from the 5d to 4f transition of Eu2+. These phosphors absorb blue light ataround 450nm and emit bluish-green luminescence, with a peak wavelength at around 495 nm. From the results of anexperiment involving Eu concentration quenching, the relative PL intensity was reduced dramatically for Eu=0.033. A smallsubstitution of Sr in place of Ba increased the relative emission intensity of the phosphor. We prepared several white LEDsthrough a combination of BaSi2O2N2:Eu2+, YAG:Ce3+, and silicone resin with a blue InGaN-based LED. In the case of onlythe YAG:Ce3+-converted LED, the color rendering index was 73.4 and the efficiency was 127lm/W. In contrast, in theYAG:Ce3+ and BaSi2O2N2:Eu2+-converted LED, two distinct emission bands from InGaN (450nm) and the two phosphors (475-750nm) are observed, and combine to give a spectrum that appears white to the naked eye. The range of the color renderingindex and the efficiency were 79.7-81.2 and 117-128 lm/W, respectively. The increased values of the color rendering indexindicate that the two phosphor-converted LEDs have improved bluish-green emission compared to the YAG:Ce-converted LED.As such, the BaSi2O2N2:Eu2+ phosphor is applicable to white high-rendered LEDs for solid state lighting.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of flonicamid and thiamethoxam treated at sublethal concentration (LC10, LC30) on development period, adult longevity and fecundity and the feeding behaviour of Myzus persicae adult. Developmental period of M. Persicae nymph took 5.9 days in LC10, and 6.1 days in LC30 in both insecticides, comparing with control (5.7 days), it showed longer than those of the control, but there was no significance. Adult longevity treated at LC10 and LC30 of flonicamid was showed 13.2 and 13.7 days, respectively, and LC10 of thiamethoxam was examined as 14.7 days, it showed longer than control of 11.6 days. Mean daily fecundity exhibited higher in LC10 (3.1) and LC30 (3.1) of flonicamid than that of control (2.5), but thiamethoxam are not. Total fecundity exhibited higher in LC10 (41.8) and LC30 (43.0) of flonicamid, in LC10 (42.1) of thiamethoxam than that of control (29.5). Feeding behavior was examined using EPG (electrical penetration graph). EPG data indicated that flonicamid and thiamethoxam increased the duration of non-probing periods and decreased the duration of phloem ingestion.

The green peach aphid(Myzus persicae) and sweet-potato whitefly(Bemisia tabaci) biotype Q are serious pests in hot pepper and cucumber. To optimize the formulation type of Clothianidin 1.8% granule, coated and extruded granule formulation types were tested against green peach aphid in hot pepper and sweetpotato whitefly in cucumber. Clothianidin 1.8% granules were incorporated in soil before transplant of hot pepper and cucumber. At recommend dose(540g ai/ha), the efficacy of Clothianidin 1.8% coated and extruded granules were 83.3% and 94.4% and continued until 50 days and 70 days against green peach aphid, respectively. Against sweet-potato whitefly, the efficacy of Clothianidin 1.8% coated and extruded granules were 65.7% and 96.3% at 32 days in cucumber, respectively. Clothianidin 1.8% extruded granule was safe on crops (hot pepper, cucumber, melon, cabbage etc.) at 540g ai/ha (recommend dose) and 1080g ai/ha. The results suggested that Clothianidin 1.8% extruded granule is promising as a best insecticide against green peach aphid and sweet-potato whitefly, because of the high efficacy and low phytotoxicity.

Many methods have been developed for more efficient gene delivery and expression in human cells. A number of studies have been performed in achieving successful gene delivery and expression conditions. We investigated differential gene expression patterns after delivery adenoviral vector containing green fluorescent protein(GFP) gene into human cancer cell lines. We constructed recombinant adenoviral Ad-CMV-GFP containing CMV promoter and GFP gene. The efficiency of gene expression was assessed by observation GFP expressing cells using fluorescent microscopy after transfer of Ad-CMV-GFP in concentrations of 0.1μl. 1μl. 10μl. At first, we evaluated expression patterns of gene in several human cancer cell lines, gastric adenocarcinoma cell line AGS was showed high level of GFP expression compared with colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line HT-29. After transfer 0.1μl of Ad-CMV-GFP in AGS, we could found that GFP expression cells were observed in next day and highly increased 2 days. While, small number of GFP expressing cells were examined in HT-29 and SNU-C4. Therefore, these data showed that AGS was expressed the highest level of GFP and almost AGS cells seems to express GFP in concentration of 1μl of Ad-CMV-GFP. GFP expression pattern in HT-29 reveal that expression was low in next day after gene transfer but significantly increase expression level in 2 days. In case of SNU-C4, GFP expression increased with increasing concentration of Ad-CMV-GFP and t ransfer times. For examine effects of transfer times in small amount gene, we transfer in concentration of 0.1μl Ad-CMV-GFP and detected GFP expression patterns after 2 days or 4 days. As a result, expression level of GFP in AGS was increase about 2 fold after 4 days compared with 2 days, but any difference of GFP expression levels were not showed in HT-29 and SNU-C4. Our study suggested that adenovirus was very efficient gene transfer vector for gene expression in human cancer cell lines. In addition to, we also demonstrated that gene expression patterns was dependent on each human cell lines. Therefore, further studies will be needed to confirm the optimum conditions for efficient gene delivery and expression in each target cell lines with consideration to cellular properties.

This study was an exploratory research to classify the types of green fashion marketing of the fashion companies in South Korea and analyse the present cases of each type. To analyse the current cases of green fashion marketing strategies, we researched all sorts of newspapers, magazines, publications of fashion companies, and web sites from 2008 to 2009. As a result, we categorized 5 types of green fashion marketing as follows ; eco-friendly fabrics (natural fabrics, recycled fabrics, biodegradable fabrics), re-use or re-form(reuse after cleaning and/or repairing and reformation through transformation and combination of raw materials), green certifications(ISO 14001, GOTS, OES, etc.), eco-friendly management and operation, and green marketing promotions. Based on the results, we proposed the green marketing strategies for fashion companies to progress toward the proper direction of green marketing. First of all, companies should escape from the narrow view point limited to the product itself. Then they have to focus on developing and execution of sustainable merchandising, manufacturing, logistics, and waste strategies.
