Background : Rehmannia glutinosa is a perennial herb belonging to the family Scrophulariaceae. Its roots have been utilized as a traditional medicine but the aerial parts (flower, flower stalk, leaf) were not used. In this paper, we aimed to determine the content of three compounds [aucubin, catalpol, and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)] in different organs of R. glutinosa. Methods and Results : The flower, flower stalk, leaf, and root of R. glutinosa were harvested in the end of August. The aucubin and catalpol were analyzed by LC/MS, whereas GABA was analyzed by GC/MS. The aucubin content was the highest in the leaf, while catalpol and GABA were the highest in the flower. The aucubin content of in the leaf was 1.43, 0.81, and 1.07 ㎎/g, respectively. The catalpol content of flower in Dakang, Tokang, and Suwon 9 was 41.06, 28.78 and 37.48 ㎎/g, respectively. The GABA content of flower in Dakang, Tokang, and Suwon 9 were 0.79, 0.76 and 0.65 ㎎/g, respectively. Conclusions : The contents of aucubin, catalpol, and GABA were higher in leaf and flower than that of root. This study provides the important information of R. glutinosa leaf and flower as a potential supplement.

A new Rehmannia glutinosa cultivar ‘Tokang’ was derived from ‘Jihwang 1’ seedlings by medicinal crop breeding team of National Institute of Horticulture and Herbal Science, RDA in 2009. It has pink flower, dark brown seed coat, light yellow root cortex. The plant type was some rising from the ground. The content of catalpol and extract were higher than the ‘Jihwang 1’(check variety). The content of catalpol was 4.55% and the extract was 71.2%. It showed stronger resistance to root rot compare with the ‘Jihwang 1’. The regional yield trials were conducted at three different locations from 2007 to 2009.

Background : Ixeris genus has been used in traditional medicines as stomachics, sedatives, and diuretics. Ixeris dentata var albiflora is a kind of perennial herbaceous plant and one of the plants of the genus Ixeris (Asteraceae). It is well-known for edible wild vegetable in Korea, China, Japan, and Mongolia. Specially, Korean has its root and young leaf with appetizing vegetable due to bitter taste. Methods and Results : We isolated 8 genes that are involved in carotenoid biosynthesis using the Illumina/Solexa HiSeq2000 platform. In this study, a full-length cDNA clone encoding phytoene synthase (IdPSY), phytoene desaturase (IdPDS), ξ-carotene desaturase (IdZDS), lycopene β-cyclase (IdLCYB), and zeaxanthin epoxidase (IdZEP) and partial-length cDNA clones encoding lycopene ε-cyclase (IdLCYE), ε-ring carotene hydroxylase (IdCHXE), and β-ring carotene hydroxylase (IdCHXB2) were identified in I. dentata. The theoretical molecular weight (MW) and isoelectric point values of 8 genes were investigated. Sequence analyses revealed that these proteins shared high identity and conserved domains with their orthologous genes. IdPSY, IdPDS, IdZDS, IdLCYB, IdCHXB2, and IdZEP were constitutively expressed in the roots, stems, leaves, and flowers of I. dentata. Conclusion : Our study on the biosynthesis of carotenoids in I. dentata will provide basic data for elucidating the contribution of carotenoids to the considerable medicinal properties of I. dentata.

The current seismic design parameter demands less distortions and preservation of nonstationary characteristics and phase angle in design acceleration time histories. This research presents an improved iterative spectral matching method in the time domain for generating acceleration time series compatible with the target design spectrum with high frequency enrichment. A modified correction function in time domain referred as windowed adjustment functionto modify the selected initial input ground motion is proposed.

Extended Accumulated SIBIE in order to improve the limit of visibility of Accumulated SIBIE method is a method to significantly improve the performance of measurements by extension the region of visibility to a low-frequency region. Decrease of resonant frequency displayed in the lower frequency region than the thickness frequency is due to reduction in rigidity by essentially degradation and cross-sectional loss of members. It is necessary to clarify the relationship between the resonance frequency and the deterioration or damage patterns to learn these patterns. In this research, by obtaining the vibration mode and the natural frequency by the eigenvalue analysis, it was confirmed that dynamic analysis which take time and effort can be minimized.

This research performed the effects of the air ratio to produce the syngas from the fixed-bed gasifier for municipalsolid waste. At the inside of reactor, temperature depends on amount of the oxidant to classify four distinct process,combustion, reduction (gasification), pyrolysis and dry zone. As decreasing the air flow rate, the particulate matters hada tendency to decrease, proportionally. In this system, the producer gas needs the clean-up process over 98% efficiencyfor connecting the internal combustion engine to generate electric power. At the test 1 and 2, while the air ratio decreased,the LHV of syngas and CGE were increased. however, at the test 3, because the oxidizer had injected more less thandemanded, these showed a decreasing tendency.

The object of this study was to obtain single oral dose toxicity of Arisaema Rhizome (Arisaema amurense f. serratum (Nakai) Kitag) aqueous extracts. Arisaema Rhizome (Chunnamsong in Korean) is one of the most important folk remedy plants used in Asia. In the study, a 28-day rat oral gavage study has been conducted with the extracts from Arisaema Rhizome at dose of 1,250, 2,500 and 5,000 ㎎/㎏/day. The following endpoints were evaluated: clinical observations, body weight, gross and microscopic pathology, clinical chemistry, and hematology. Based on the analysis of these endpoints, it was estimated that NOEL (no observed effect level) for male rats and NOAEL (no observed adverse effect level) for female rats are 5000 ㎎/㎏/day of the water-extracts from Arisaema Rhizome.

This study was conducted to obtain the basic data related to seed characteristics and germination conditions of the Coriandrum sativum L. at different storage condition and temperature. The shape of fruit was oval with light brown color. Fruit was mericarp, biloculate, with one ovule in each locus. The length and width of seed were 1.37 ± 0.067㎜ and 0.52 ± 0.039㎜, respectively. Weight of 1,000 seeds was 6.55 ± 0.15 g. Seeds which were stored at room (15℃) and cold temperature (4℃) in vinyl container showed the highest germination rate (93.3%) under the room temperature germination condition. Percentage of germination in cold and freeze temperature was 20% and 0%, respectively. Germination rate of room storage seeds with paper container increased to about 91.3%, however, decreased in cold (4℃) and freeze storage (−20℃) with paper container (76.7% and 78.0%, respectively). Germination rate of seed in vinyl stock container was better than that of paper stock container. Germination rate of seeds stored at room temperature for 4 years (2010 - 2013) ranged from 80.0% to 91.3%. Therefore, coriander seeds are expected to be stored at room temperature for increasing the germination rate and keeping a long term.

조선은 건국 이래 중앙집권 정치를 표방하고 각 행정의 말단까지 수령을 파견하여 통치하고자 했다. 조선 초기 지방관은 지방 세력의 억제 정책 속에서 ‘守令七事’의 임무를 가지고 파견되었는데, 이 임무는 명목상으로는 조선말까지 유지되었다. 조선 중기 지방 사족에 의한 향 촌 지배 주도의 시기를 거쳐, 조선 후기 지방제도는 왜란과 호란의 피해 복구가 끝나고 국가의 안정을 이룬 가운데 새로운 방향을 모색하였다. 조선후기 지방제도는 국왕의 왕권 강화책과 맞물려 지방에 대한 역 사, 지리, 호구, 양전 등의 조사와 이를 바탕으로 한 지리서 간행, 통치 강화를 위한 새로운 법전의 편찬을 토대로 이루어졌다. 또한 수령의 권한을 강화하여 지방의 부역과 조세, 교육 등에 지접 관여하는 한편, 새로 부를 축적한 중인층이나 서얼, 몰락 양반 등은 납속책 등을 통하여 국가 재정 확충과 기득권층으로 편입시켰다. 활발한 사회변동 속에서 한편으로는 수령은 흉년이나 역질 로 인한 구휼이 중요 임무의 하나였 다. 韓範錫은 조선후기 현종13년(1672) 태어나 영조 10년(1734) 74세로 세상을 떠난 무인으로 무장으로서 뿐만 아니라 목민관으로서도 여 러 관직을 지냈다. 그는 하동현령으로서 지방 수령의 첫발을 디뎠는데 관직 중 남쪽에서는 제주도의 관찰사, 북쪽 변경에서는 회령부사와 남 병사를 지내면서 특히 목민관으로서 구휼활동에 관심을 보이고 소기의 성과를 거두었다. 한범석의 목민관으로서의 자세한 기록을 찾을 수 없어 여러 방면으 로 그를 조명하는 것은 매우 어려운 일이지만 18세기 국가의 큰 변란이 없던 시기를 살았던 한 무장으로서 목민관의 최우선은 다른 지방관과 다름없이 구휼 문제였으며 상황에 따라 적극적으로 대처한 인물이었다 고 생각된다.

화장품에 사용되는 방부제로는 가격이 저렴하고 방부효과가 좋은 파라벤류, 페녹시에탄올 및 클로로페네신 등이 일반적으로 사용된다. 하지만, 최근들어 이들 방부제가 독성과 피부 자극을 유발할 수 있다는 소비자들의 인식으로 인하여 항균 작용이 있는 직쇄상 1,2-알칸디올로 대체되고 있는 추세이다. 하지만, 항균 작용의직쇄상 1,2-알칸디올도 피부에 자극을 줄 수 있어 제한적으로 사용되어야 하므로 화장품 내 함량을 관리하는것이 중요하다. 본 실험에서는 가스크로마토그래피 불꽃이온화검출기(GC/FID)를 이용하여 화장품에서 3종의직쇄상 1,2-알칸디올류 중, 1,2-pentanediol, 1,2-hexanediol, 1,2-octanediol을 동시 분석하였다. 분석법Validation 결과 특이성을 확인할 수 있었고, 3종의 직쇄상 1,2-pentanediol, 1,2-hexanediol, 1,2-octanediol의검량선은 100~1,200 μg/g의 농도 범위에서 상관계수가 0.999 이상의 양호한 직선성을 나타내었다.검출한계(LOD)와 정량한계(LOQ)는 각각 31, 40, 19 μg/g와 98, 108, 57 μg/g로 나타났다. 화장품 내 함량에 대한 정밀성(반복성)은 2.0% 이하의 상대표준편차(% RSD)를 나타냈고, 정확성(회수율)은 99.3 ~103.3%, 99.4 ~ 106.7%, 97.5 ~ 107.3%로 각각 나타났다. 따라서 화장품 내에서 3종의 1,2-알칸디올류의동시 분석이 가능함을 알 수 있었다. 본 시험법은 3종의 1,2-알칸디올류를 화장품에서 정확하게 정량하는데활용될 수 있을 것이다.
