천연 살초성분 해발을 위한 기초적 연구로 발아 및 생장억제물질 동정을 위하여 몇 가지 유기용매에 따른 황련의 분획 추출물에 대한 다른 식물의 종자발아 및 유묘생장에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 추출물에 대한 검정식물의 발아율은 들깨, 배추, 피, 참깨 순으로 억제되었으며, 2,000ppm ethyl acetate추출물에서 가장 높은 발아억제를 보였다. 초장 및 뿌리생육은 참깨, 들깨, 배추, 피 순으로 억제되었으며, 특히 뿌리신장은 H2O, butyl alcohol, hexane, ethyl acetate 추출물 순으로 억제정도가 심하였다 추출물에 대한 발아 및 유묘생육의 억제정도는 참해 및 배추에서 종특이적으로 작용하였으며, 특히 물 추출물은 종자발아 및 뿌리 신장에 천연살초활성을 보였다. 이러한 결과들은 금후 천연제초제 개발을 위한 기초자료로 이용될 것으로 기대되었다.

A new chemosensor based on a self-assembled system has been devised to detect Hg2+ions efficiently. We demonstrated that the amphiphilic building blocks consisting of pyrene and boronic acid (1) aggregate in aqueous solutions and provide an outstanding sensing platform for sensitive detection. The self-assembled 1 exhibited high selectivity and sensitivity for Hg2+ion detection via fluorescence quenching, where the Hg2+ion detection ensued from a fast transmetallation of 1. The Stern-Volmer (SV) quenching constant for its fluorescence quenching by Hg2+ions was approximately 1.58 × 108 M-1. In addition, self-assembled 1 exhibited excellent sensing abilities at nano-molar concentration levels when tap water and freshwater samples were contaminated with of Hg2+ ions.

수원과 수용가 간 연결성은 비정상상황 시 상수도관망의 기능 유지 정도를 나타내는 시스템 특성 중 하나이다. 상수도관망은 점과 선으로 구성된 그래프로 간략화 될 수 있기 때문에, 연결성 평가를 위해 주로 그래프 이론이 적용되었다. 하지만, 대부분의 연구는 상수도관망에 적합하지 않은 무 향-비가중 그래프 이론을 적용하였다. 본 연구에서는 유향-가중 그래프 이론을 상수도관망에 적용하였으며, 이를 기반으로 복잡한 수리해석 없이 상수도관망 연결성을 평가할 수 있는 지표인 SNSP (Source to Node Shortest Pathway)와 이의 역수인 SNSP-Degree (SNSP-D)를 제안하였다. 국내 J시 42개의 상수도관망을 이용하여 개발된 SNSP와 기존 상수도관망 성능평가지표 사이의 상관성 분석을 수행 및 검증하였다. 기존 상수도관 망 성능평가지표는 수리해석 결과를 지표 계산에 이용하는 3개의 회복력(Resilience) 지표와 에너지 효율 지표이다. 분석 결과, SNSP의 역수인 SNSP-D의 합과 기존 상수도관망 성능지표 사이에 평균적으로 0.87 이상의 높은 피어슨 상관계수(Pearson Correlation Coefficient, PCC) 값이 도출되었다. 특히, 회복력 지표 중 하나인 Modified Resilience Index (MRI)와 에너지 효율 지표의 경우 PCC 0.93 이상의 높은 상관관계를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 다중 회귀 분석을 통해 SNSP-D와 회복력 및 에너지 효율 간의 상관성에 영향을 미치는 수리학적 변인을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 제안한 SNSP 지표가 상수도관망의 대략적인 회복력 및 에너지 효율 수준을 알려줄 수 있는 지표로 실무에서 널리 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

This work was conducted to identify sweet potato [(Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.)] cultivars showing high yield and processing suitability in the Jeonbuk region of Korea. Shoot-slips (30 cm in length) of 14 cultivars were planted with a planting density of 75×25 cm on May 30, and cultivated with black film mulching. Vine elongation at 30 days after planting was significantly increased (> 90 cm) in ‘Dahomi’ and ‘Sinhwangmi’, and was excellent (> 250 cm) 120 days after planting in ‘Sinhwangmi’, ‘Shinyulmi’, ‘Daeyumi’, ‘Jinhongmi’, and ‘Yeonhwangmi’. The branch number per plant showed a dramatic increase in ‘Shinzami’ 30 and 120 days after planting. The leaf number per plant showed the highest increase in ‘Shinzami’ 30 days and in ‘Sinhwangmi’ 120 days after planting. Total weight, mean weight, and number of marketable tubers per plant were significantly higher 150 days after planting than that 120 days after planting. Marketable tuber yield at 120 days was high, over 2.5 ton/10a in ‘Daeyumi’, ‘Dahomi’, and ‘Jeonmi’, and was considerably increased, from 3.2 ton/10a to 3.5 ton/10a, 150 days after planting. Total weight of marketable tubers per plant and marketable tuber yield 120 and 150 days after planting had significant positive correlations with vine length and number of nodes 30 days after planting. Starch value was significantly higher 150 days after planting than that 120 days after planting. ‘Daeyumi’ and ‘Jeonmi’ had good growth vigor, high yield, and high starch content; ‘Dahomi’ also exhibited beneficial traits such as good growth vigor, high yield, and bright orange-colored flesh.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of different sowing times (May 25, June 10, June 25, July 10, and July 25) on growth and yield of four proso millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) cultivars (Hwanggeumkijang, Manghongchal, Ibaekchal, and Hwangsilchal) at a cultivation area in Iksan, Jeonbuk Province. Heading and ripening times were delayed, with later sowing times in all cultivars, and the periods for heading and ripening were shortened. For sowing from May 25 to July 25, the growth stage was shorter by 40 days in Manghongchal, 38 days in Hwanggeumkijang, 36 days in Hwangsilchal, and 30 days in Ibaekchal. The culm length, ear length, ear width, and culm diameter differed significantly between the cultivars and sowing times. In particular, the culm and ear lengths were considerably reduced when the sowing time was delayed. The grain yield (kg/10a) of Hwanggeumkijang and Ibaekchal was 312 and 359 kg, respectively, for sowing on June 10; and that of Manhongchal and Hwangsilchal was 286 and 404 kg, respectively, for sowing on June 25. Thus, the optimum sowing time was June 25 for Hwanggeumkijang and Ibaekchal, and June 10 for Manhongchal and Hwangsilchal.

In the present study, we investigated the plant growth characteristics and biological activity of four asparagus cultivars grown using two cultural methods and tested the possibility of domestic open field. The number of shoots, buds, roots, shoot and root fresh and dry weights, and total dry weight of the four asparagus cultivars grown in a plastic house were higher than those of the same cultivars grown in an open field. Of the cultivars grown in the open field, Jersey Giant had greater shoot number than the other cultivars. In plastic house cultivation, the number of buds in Jersey Supreme was greater than the other cultivars. The total flavonoid content of the Jersey Giant was greater than the other cultivars, but cultural method was unaffected. The total polyphenol contents in asparagus cultivars grown in the plastic house were higher than those of cultivars grown in the open field. The total polyphenol content of the Jersey Giant grown the plastic house was significantly higher than those of other cultivars. Antioxidant activity such as catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POX) did not differ significantly with cultural methods and among the cultivars. Ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activity of asparagus cultivars grown in the open field was higher than that of cultivars grown in the greenhouse; the highest APX activity was detected in UC157. Thus, greenhouse cultivation is expected to improve plant growth characteristics and biological activities of asparagus cultivars; each cultural method should be considered when selecting a suitable cultivar for high yield and high bioactive compound content.

Chloride ions ingress continuously in reinforced concrete through pores of it by Cl-. Recently, new materials removing harmful anions have been developed. Layered double hydroxides(LDH) has an excellent ability to remove harmful anions because various anions can be adsorbed in the interlayer space between divalent and trivalent cations. In this study, Ca/Al-NO3 and Mg/Al-NO3 LDH were prepared by using a co-precipitation method. Experiments for binding chloride ions of LDH were conducted by using potentiometric method.

Small-sized tuber of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas Lam.) is more preferred by Korean consumers, because it is convenient to eat with hands, and can easily be steamed or roasted in small pan as a healthy snack for a small family. The present study was aimed to investigate the effect of highdensity plantings and harvesting times on production of smallsized tuber (50~200 g). Four varieties (‘Annobeny’, ‘Daeyumi’, ‘Shinzami’, and ‘Yeonhwangmi’) were planted in 2-row zigzag high-density planting (75×30 cm, A; 75×25 cm, B) and 1-row planting (75×25 cm, control) covered with black vinyl film on May 23th, 2014. Marketable yields and small-sized tuber yields were compared between 120- and 150-day harvesting. Vine length and fresh weight per plant were significantly decreased in 2-row planting A and B plots compared to the control at 120 days after planting. Weight of tuber per plant, mean weight of tuber and number of tuber per plant were significantly decreased in 120-day harvesting of A and B plots than in the control. Marketable yields per 10a were increased by 17% (2.4 ton‧10a -1 ) and 8% (2.6 ton‧10a -1 ) in 120-day harvesting of A and B plots compared to the control (2.4 ton‧10a -1 ), and those were largely increased by 29% (4.0 ton‧10a -1 ) and 26% (3.9 ton‧10a -1 ) in 150-day harvesting than in the control (3.1 ton‧10a -1 ). Proportions of small size tuber (50~200 g) were increased by about 65% in 150-day harvesting of A and B plots compared to the control (55.3%). Small-size tuber yield and marketable yield were highly increased in 150-day harvesting of 2-row zigzag high-density planting A (75×30 cm).

벼 꽃가루(약) 배양은 유용유전자의 조기고정으로 육종년한 단축을 위한 육종법으로 실용화되고 있다. 국내에서는 이 배양법에 의해 1985년 처음으로 농촌진흥청에서 화신벼를 육성한 이래 현재까지 20여 품종이 육성되었고, 국외에서는 IRRI에서 1995년 첫 약배양 유래 품종이 육성되었다. 국내에서 이 육종법은 전통교배육종에 비해 품종육성 기간을 2년정도 단축시켰다. 도입초기의 주요 목적형질은 양질, 내병충성이 강화된 품종이 육성되었으며 최근 2000년대 들어서는 기능성 등을 포함하고 있다. 그간 국내 약배양 유래 품종육성 수는 1985년 이래 전통교배 품종수의 약 8%정도였으며, 농가재배 면적은 지난 30여년 동안 2,200천ha정도 재배되어 왔다. 주요 육성품종으로는 화성, 화선찰, 화영, 화봉, 호평으로 꾸준히 재배되고 있는 실정이다. 우리나라에서 벼 약배양 기술은 어느 작물보다 일찍 시작하여 생명공학의 기초를 이루어 성공적으로 실용화를 이루어냈고, 앞으로도 기후변화 등에 좀 더 다양한 유용형질이 요구되는 즈음, 이 약배양법은 유용변이체 및 형질전환체 등을 조기 고정하는데 중요기술로 이용하게 될 것이다.

도시유역의 저지대에서 집중호우에 따른 내수침수의 방지를 위해 빗물펌프장이 설치되어 있다. 현재 국내의 빗물펌프장은 자동화시스템에 의한 펌프 운영으로, 기준수위 도달 시 펌프 가동이 자동적으로 이루어지도록 프로그래밍 되어있다. 빗물펌프장에 설치된 펌프는 기계 및 전기 공급 시스템에 따라 모든 펌프를 한번에 동시 가동할 수 없으며, 현재 빗물펌프장 시스템은 펌프의 on/off가 각각의 펌프 한 대씩 순차적으로 가동하도록 설정되어 있다. 또한 펌프운영의 제한성으로 인하여, 빗물펌프장에 설치된 펌프의 종류에 따른 토출량이 상이할 경우, 펌프의 on/off 가동 순서에 의하여 빗물펌프장 운영의 효율이 달라질 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 배수 유역면적, 유수지 및 펌프 용량 등 현장 여건에 따라 최적의 펌프 운영을 수행할 수 있는 알고리즘을 활용하여 펌프장의 운영 방식 개선을 통해 펌프 조합 및 on/off의 여러 case를 통해 일반적이고 현장 운영자들이 적용하기 쉬운 운영 방식을 연구하였다.

고준위폐기물의 심지층 처분을 위해 완충재인 벤토나이트가 반드시 필요하고, 지하 환경에서 이 물질의 장기적 특성 변화를 아는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 실험에서 폐기물 금속용기의 구리코팅 성분이 부식되면서 구리이온 농도가 증가한다고 가정하였을 때, 완충재인 벤토나이트 점토(몬모릴로나이트)의 층간 양이온들의 이온교환 및 용출 특성 등을 실험을 통해 살펴보았다. 용존 구리와 벤토나이트와의 반응실험에서 팽창성 점토의 Na가 선택적으로 먼저 Cu에 의해 치환되었고 Ca는 상대적으로 시간을 두고 이온교환되었다. 그리고 구리로 치환된 몬모릴로나이트는 X-선회절 분석결과 원시료에 비해 층간간격이 다소 줄어든 특징적인 비대칭 회절형태로 관찰되었다. 이러한 실험결과는 지하처분조건에서 고유 벤토나이트 성질의 점진적인 변화를 간접적으로 지시하는 것으로, 향후 다양한 추가실험을 통해 처분장 완충재의 화학적 광물학적 특성 변화를 연구할 계획이다.
