PSC girder bridges, widely applied to bridge and railroad bridge (25 ~ 50 m), are a type of bridge that introduces compressive force in advance to the part where tensile force of concrete is generated. The tension force for introducing the compressive force by inserting the tendon into the concrete is a key element of the structural performance in the PSC. At present, however, measurement and verification of this is indirectly managed through deflection and cracking. However, it has become more necessary to develop practical evaluation methods of prestress force of PSC bridges. In this experiment, a small scale PSC beam with various curvature radii was made. Tension force monitoring with FBG sensor and EM sensor was performed on test members using 3 point flexural loading test. The measured values of the FBG sensors and the EM sensors used in the experiment were analyzed and compared with the measured values of the load cell.

‘Jungmo1038', a mid-late maturing, high dry matter yielding rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivar with glabrous leaf and hull, was developed for whole crop silage (WCS) use. It was derived from a cross between ‘SR24592-HB2319’ with high biomass, smooth leaf and hull and good germinability in low temperature and new plant type (NPT), ‘IR73165-B-6-1-1‘ which had low tillering trait, large panicle, dark green leaf, thick and sturdy stem and vigorous root system. This cultivar had about 125 days growth period from seeding to heading, 99㎝ culm length, 20㎝ panicle length, 13 panicles per hill, 119 spikelets per panicle and 1,000-grain weight of 23.3 g as brown rice in central plain region, Suwon. This hairless WCS rice variety was weak to cold stresses similar to ‘Nokyang’ but was resistant to lodging in the field, strong to viviparous germination and good to low temperature germination. In addition, ‘Jungmo1038’ was resistant to leaf and neck blast but susceptible to bacterial blight, rice stripe virus and brown planthopper. Its average dry matter yield for three years reached 17.2 MT/ha, 21% higher than that of ‘Nokyang’. This glabrous cultivar had 6.6% crude protein and 62.4% total digestible nutrients a little low compared to ‘Nokyang’. In Korea peninsular, 'Jungmo1038' grows well in central and southern plain and is good to harvest between 15 to 30 days after heading to improve its feeding value and digestion rate of livestock(Grant No. 5634).

본 연구에서는 히알루론산나트륨(sodium hyaluronate, HA)을 효소 분해하여 분자량 크기(1, 10, 50, 100, 660, 및 1500 kDa) 별로 제조한 뒤 콜라겐 합성 및 항염증 활성에 미치는 영향과 피부투과도를 조사하였 다. 이들 HA는 인간피부세포인 Hs68 세포에 세포독성을 나타내지 않았다. 콜라겐 생합성능은 1500 kDa, 50, kDa HA가 각각 59, 50%로 콜라겐 생합성 촉진능이 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 분자량 크기에 따른 HA의 피부투 과도를 측정한 결과 660 또는 1500 kDa의 HA은 2% 미만의 미미한 투과율을 보였으나, 저분자 HA (1, 10, 또는 50 kDa)은 시간이 지남에 따라 투과율이 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 마우스 대식세포인 RAW 264.7 세포 에서 HA 분자량 크기에 따른 항염증 효과를 확인한 결과, 50 kDa HA가 농도 의존적으로 nitric oxide 및 tumor necrosis factor-α 합성을 저해하여 다른 분자량의 HA (1, 10, 및 100 kDa)에 비해 가장 큰 항염증 효능을 나타냈다. 현재까지 효소(hyaluronidase) 처리하여 제조된 다양한 크기의 분자량(1, 10, 50, 100, 660, 1500 kDa)의 HA 중 50 kDa HA가 collagen의 합성, 항염증 및 피부 흡수도에 대한 종합적인 평가를 한 사례 는 없었다. 따라서 이러한 연구결과는 50 kDa의 HA가 인간피부세포에서 콜라겐 합성을 증진시키고, 피부 투과 율을 높으며 피부 주름을 유발하는 염증반응을 억제함으로써 피부노화 및 주름 개선용 화장품소재로 개발될 수 있는 가능성을 보여준다.

Four bacterial blight resistance genes, Xa1+Xa3+xa5+Xa21, pyramid elite japonica rice lines were developed for enhancing the resistance of rice against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae in Korea. Seven doubled haploid (RDL1-7) and ten F6 lines (RPL1-10) having Xa1+Xa3+xa5+Xa21 which were derived from the cross between Ilmi, high grain quality japonica rice cultivar carrying Xa1, and Iksan575, elite line carrying Xa3+xa5+Xa21, were developed using marker-assisted selection for resistance genes and phenotypic selection for bacterial blight resistance and agronomic traits. Among resistance genes combinations in F2 population, four resistance genes combination, Xa1+Xa3+xa5+Xa21, showed the highest resistance and conferred the enhanced resistance than three genes combination, Xa3+xa5+Xa21. Four genes pyramid lines (RDL and RPL) showed broad-spectrum resistant against 16 Korean bacterial blight isolates and the yield and quality of the lines did not alter by the inoculation of K3a, the most virulent race in Korea. In addition, these lines had excellent plant type and exhibited more enhanced yield than previously developed resistant cultivars. Four bacterial blight resistance genes combination, Xa1+Xa3+xa5+Xa21, was efficient and promising combination and developed lines with four genes could be useful materials and will be applied to the breeding programs for enhancing the resistance of japonica rice against bacterial blight.

This study was conducted to suggest a thinning method to find out materials needed and preserve forest for forest healing programs. A Delphi survey was implemented to draw survey questions necessary for taking care of healing forest; a survey for people who have career in forest healing program was also conducted to figure out the importance of storytelling trees. The result showed that the suitable thinning method for healing forest is the eclectic method of quantitative and qualitative thinning methods. There were 10 tree types in the importance of selecting storytelling trees: dead wood in ecological state, unusual type of wood, fragrant wood, another trees standing independently in the main tree group, flowering trees, trees bearing fruit to taste, wood with a distinctive bark, wider and larger trees, wood for medical use and tree extending to various degrees at chest height in the following order. Therefore, considering 10 tree types above it is recommended to preserve and take care of trees for storytelling in healing forest.

‘안미’는 농촌진흥청 국립식량과학원과 국제미작연구소 간의 협력으로 분자육종법을 이용하여 2010년에 육성한 중만생 고품질 복합내병충성 품종이다. 지역적응시험을 3개년(2008~2010)간 수행한 결과, ‘안미’는 중부평야지에서 보통기 보비재배 시 출수기는 8월 15일로 ‘화성’보다 5일 늦은 중만생종으로 쌀수량은 보통기 표준재배에서 5.76 MT/ha로 ‘화성’보다 11% 증수되었다. ‘안미’는 ‘화성’에 비해 간장(77 cm)은 작고 수당립수는 많으나 등숙비율은 다소 낮았다. ‘안미’는 현미 장폭비가 1.84인 단원형이며 백미는 심복백 발현이 거의 없어 맑고 투명하다. ‘안미’의 알카리 붕괴도와 단백질 함량은 ‘화성’과 비슷하고 아밀로스 함량은 조금 낮았반면, 식미평가에서 밥맛은 매우 양호하였다. ‘안미’의 재배시험 과정 중 위조현상은 관찰되지 않았으며 성숙기 하위엽 노화는 늦은 편이었다. ‘안미’는 ‘화성’에 비해 수발아에 둔감하였고 내랭성 평가 중 적고는 나타나지 않았으나 임실율은 다소 낮았다. ‘안미’는 도열병, 벼흰잎마름병(K₁, K₂, K₃), 줄무늬잎마름병 및 벼멸구에 강한 저항성을 발현하였다.
