경주국립공원내 서식하는 들고양이의 동계 비발정기 행동권 분석을 위하여 2008년 10월부터 2009년 1월까지 암 수 각 1개체에 대하여 원격 무선추적을 실시하였다. 조사결과 국립공원 산림외곽의 상가 및 주택단지에 서식하고 있는 개체(♂)는 100% MPC 0.18 km2, 95% KR 0.10 km2, 50% KR 0.02 km2로 조사되었으며, 산림 내 백운암 사찰 주변에 서식하고 있는 개체(♀)는 100% MPC 0.31 km2, 95% KR 0.28 km2, 50% KR 0.03 km2로 나타나 산림내 서식 개체가 산림외곽 서식개체보다 더 큰 행동권을 가지는 것으로 분석되었다. 주 야간의 행동권 분석 결과, 국립공원 외곽에서 서식하는 개체와 산림내 서식 개체 모두 야간의 행동권이 주간보다 크게 나타났으며, 주 야간 행동권 모두 산림내 서식 개체가 산림 외곽 서식 개체에 비해서 더 큰 것으로 분석되었다.

Most captive canids and felids at Zoos in advanced countries have been examined enough to apply artificial reproductive techniques to them. We investigated reproductive hormones and vaginal epithelial cells of a 6-year-old, female coyote, hoping these data could eventually be extended to artificial insemination with frozen-thawed conspecific semen at Seoul Zoo. As a relative of pet dogs, coyote exhibited a similar appearance with only minor differences. In vaginal smear, an increase in the number of superficial cells suggests that the bitch has reached a state close to estrus. A sudden decrease of estradiol and increase of progesterone is considered as a preovulatory event. Vaginal epithelial cells and hormones might be useful for determining the optimal time of artificial insemination in coyotes' breeding.

This experiment was conducted to compare forage production and grass intakes of warm season grasses for grazing horses in Jeju. The experimental field located at 450m altitude(Jeju Horse Training Center of Korea Racing Association) was divided into 3different treatment plots(3replications) without a fence between treatments, and sown by three treatments(bermudagrass, bahiagrass, bermudagrass+bahiagrass mixture). Three castrated adult horse a were kept on pasture from the 1 of October to the end of October without supplementary concentrates. 'Bahiagrass' cultivar showed the highest dry matter (DM) yield with 8,887㎏/㏊ than those in other treatments (bermudagrass 8,699, bermudagrass+bahiagrass mixture 8,385㎏/㏊). The percentage of grass intakes was higher in the treatment of bahiagrass(92%) than those in other treatments(bermudagrass+bahiagrass mixture 89, bermudagrass78%). The results indicate that the warm season grasses of bermudagrass, bahiagrass, bermudagrass+bahiagrass mixture can be used for grazing pasture of horses in the Jeju.

This experiment was conducted to evaluate forage yield and feed value of warm season grass in subtropical area. The species having the fastest heading date was bermudagrass 'ecotype' (24th April) while the heading date of bahia grass 'Argentine' was the latest as 13th August. Plant height and dry matter of switch grass was the highest. Dry matter yield of switch grass was usually greater t㏊n the other entries in Jeju and Wando. Bermudagrass cultivars had higher CP concentration t㏊n the other entries. NDF and ADF concentration in switchgrass was higher t㏊n in bermudgarss and bahiagrass cultivars.

The seasonal occurrence of insect pests in watermelon cultivated in greenhouses was surveyed in Gochang from 2006 to 2007 considering three seasonal types of culture: forcing culture, semi-forcing culture and retarding culture. Aphis gossypii, mites (Tetranychus urticae+T. kanzawai) and Palpita indica were the most serious pest species in watermelon greenhouse culture. A. gossypii and mites showed high density during the months of June and September in semi-forcing and retarding culture, respectively. Palpita indica was observed only in retarding culture. Leaf damage by Palpita indica was observed from the middle of August and peaked to 79.4% damage in the middle of September. Thrips and whiteflies were captured in high density by the yellow sticky trap in semi-forcing culture and retarding culture but these insects showed low population density in watermelon leaves.

본 연구는 한강하류역에서 2개 정점을 선정하여 2004년 2월부터 2005년 2월까지 갈수기에 격주 간격으로 인공기질을 이용하여 부착돌말류에 의한 수질평가를 수행하였다. 조사기간 중 출현한 부착돌말류는 총 60분류군으로 2목 3아목 8과 18속 51종 7변종 2품종으로 구성되어 있었다. 정점별 우점종은 정점 1에서 광적응성 종인 A. granulata (22.76~30.30%), M. varians (17.44~34.78%)와 호오염성

본 연구는 도로 상의 눈이나 얼음의 제거에 사용되는 융빙제와 부식방지제 및 저부식성 제설제 그리고 이들의 조합에 대한 성능 및 구조물에 미치는 영향에 대하여 분석하였다. 동결융해 후 무게손실률은 저부식성 제설제가 융빙제와 부식방지제 및 이들의 조합보다 적게 나타났고, 상대동탄성계수 감소는 물, 저부식성 제설제 및 NaCl+JF-1004를 제외하고 융빙제와 부식방지제 및 이들의 조합물들은 동결융해 150사이클 이후에 급격히 떨어지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 동결융해 후 콘크리트는 물을 제외하고 상당히 심한 표면 손상을 나타냈다. 융빙 효과는 융빙제와 저부식성 제설제 및 부식방지제의 조합하여 사용할 때가 이들 개별적으로 사용될 때보다 우수한 것으로 나타났고, 저부식성 제설제 및 부식방지제의 단독 사용은 초기 융빙 성능 뿐 아니라 지속성도 현저히 낮아 현장 적용에는 문제가 있는 것으로 판단된다. 강재부식시험의 pH는 저부식성 제설제와 NaCl+JF-1004의 pH는 알칼리성을 띠는 반면에 이외의 나머지에서는 중성에서 산성으로 변화해 가고 있는 것으로 나타났고, 염화나트륨의 조합물이 다른 수용액보다 상당히 빠르게 무게감량이 나타나 강재 부식속도가 빠르게 진행되는 것으로 나타났다. 이상으로부터 도로상의 눈이나 얼음의 제거를 위하여 융빙제의 조합물을 사용 시 최대한 도로 포장 및 교량에 손상이 적게 미치는 조성물에 대한 신중한 선택하여 사용해야 할 것이다.

Survey on the food intake status and health condition of the elerly over 65 years old living in Damyang Jeonnam was performed and meal menus for the pavillion were developed using local products. Allowance of the elderly less than 100,000 won was 45%. The local products of the area recognized by the elderly were bamboo shoot (30%) > bamboo (22.5%) > bamboo basket (12.5%) > do not know (15%) > green tea (10%) > rice(7.5%) > vegetable. In dental health, 52.5% of them had bad condition but 62.5% did not use denture at all. The most favorate foods were Korean (92.5%) and Chinese and Japanese were favored by 5%, and 2.5%, respectively. In percentage of eat-out and use of instant foods, 42.5% of them answered that eating-out chances were very rare and 62.5% answered that they do not use instant foods at all. Potassium intakes for the male and female elderly were significantly very low with values of 2579.2 mg and 2601 mg, respectively (p < 0.05). Calorie intakes for men were 1678.5 kcal, which was only 84% of RI and 1470.8 kcal for women (92%). Shortages of nutrition including calcium intake and others were very serious and the meal was not nutritionally balanced based upon the study of GMDFO. The menu for the elderly in busy farming season of the area were developed with the use of local products and the information from the study.

This study was carried out to determine the maintenance and social behavior characteristics of Hanwoo steers by season. Forty eight Hanwoo steers were video-recorded at 15, 17 and 19 months of age for behavior measurement. Hanwoo steers spent more feeding time (p<0.05) in autumn than in summer and/or winter. Standing time was linearly increased (p<0.05) along with seasonal transition, from summer to winter. The rice straw intake speed was the fastest the summer, whereas the concentrate intake speed was relatively fast in winter. Furthermore, Hanwoo steers showed more behavior time and count for lying down (p<0.05) and drinking (p<0.05) in summer than in autumn and winter. Also, Hanwoo steers spent less count (p<0.05) self grooming and scratching in summer.

The mesh selectivity of gill net for Japanese sandfish (Arctoscopus japonicus) caught in the East Sea, Korea was described. The experiment was conducted with five different kinds of mesh size (39.4, 45.5, 51.5, 53.0, 57.6mm) between November and December 2006 in spawning season. The catch was mostly Japanese sandfish (93.3%) and some others (6.7%), and almost all of the female Japanese sandfish were larger than the fork length at 50% maturity (16.7cm). The selection curve for the female Japanese sandfish caught from the experiments was fitted by the Kitahara's method to a polynomial equation which was s(R)=exp{(0.2584R3-5.3445R2+32.269R-59.868)-0.6585} where R＝l/m, and l and m are fork length and mesh size, respectively.

Experiment on the thermal response of college-age Korean was conducted in a thermal environmental chamber during winter season. Eight environmental conditions composed of five air temperatures (18∼26℃) and two relative humidities (40, 60%) were selected. To investigate the uniformity of thermal environments, the spatial distributions and the temporal variations of thermal parameters were examined in the test chamber. Subjects of 7 females or 7 males were questioned in the chamber for three hours, where thermal and comfort sensations were surveyed every fifteen minutes. The repeatability and temporal variation of thermal response were discussed. The thermal sensation votes of subjects were compared with the predicted mean votes calculated from the thermal parameters and human parameters. The correlation between thermal sensation votes and comfort sensation votes of subjects were discussed.
