The Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Research Council within the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries looks over the Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries Research and Development Project. Every five years, it revises the Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Research Basic Plan. Based on the information above, the following suggestions are made to implement domestic research projects. First, the strategic planning and promotion of research and development projects are needed to achieve the goals of the country and agricultural policy. Second, it is necessary to break up and diversify research assignments so that the project implementation reflects the trend of the time. Third, there is a need to develop a research partnership that strengthens cooperation among industry, academia, government, and research institutes to utilize technology seeds from fields other than agriculture. Fourth, it is necessary to improve field demonstration research projects where central and local research institutes, universities, private companies, agricultural cooperation, and farmers can participate. Fifth, follow-ups should be conducted at the end of research to advance research implementation systems. Finally, there is a need to build a new dissemination system which includes research results and policy.

The Japanese government, on the basis of the Food, Agriculture and Rural Areas Basic Act, announced the 4th Basic Plan for Food, Agriculture and Rural areas, at the same time the third Basic Plan for Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Research in March 2015. The Basic Plan is configured as improvement of food self-sufficiency rate, a stable food supply, agricultural maintenance and development, rural promotion. The new target for the calorie-based food self-sufficiency ratio has been lowered from the previous 50 percent by 2020 to 45 percent by 2025. The production target for table rice has been lowered, but production targets for rice for flour and rice for feed have been raised significantly - five times and 10 times the more than current production by 2025, respectively. The 4th Basic Plan included the important measures of 24 and the details practice challenges of 50 should be intensively promoted for the next five years. The new Research Basic Plan set 21 key targets research and development to solve problems promptly faced by producers with the aim of increasing income in agriculture and rural communities and 11 priority targets research and development to be steadily promoted under medium- to long-term strategy. In addition, it announced the necessary measures of 10 at three areas in order to promote more efficiency and effective in the Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Research. In Korea, it refers to the announcement contents of Japan where there is a need to formulate a development plan for Agriculture, Rural Areas and Food Industry Development Plan that meets the Korean situation.

본 연구에서는 이산화탄소와 석탄을 사용하여 합성가스 CO를 생산하는 실험을 수행하였다. CO 합성특성은 KOH 촉매를 사용한 화학적 활성화 방법에 의해 조사되었으며, 제조공정은 CO2 전환 반응에서 석탄과 활성화 촉매 비율, 가스 유량과 반응온도 등과 같은 실험변수들을 분석함으로서 최적화 되었다. KOH 촉매를 사용하지 않은 경우, 반응온도 950℃와 CO2 유량 300 cc/min에서 65% CO2 전 환율을 얻었으며, 반면에 촉매를 사용한 경우 같은 반응조건에서 98.1%의 전환율을 얻었다. 석탄의 활 성화촉매 반응물의 비(석탄 : KOH = 4 : 1)가 다른 반응물 비에 대해 더 좋은 CO2 전환율과 CO 선 택도 보여줌을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, several kinds of active carbons with high specific surface area and micro pore structure were prepared from the coconut shell charcoal using chemical activation method. The physical property of prepared active carbon was investigated by experimental variables such as activating chemical agents to char coal ratio, flow rate of inert gas and temperature. It was shown that chemical activation with KOH and NaOH was successfully able to make active carbons with high surface area of 1900~2500 m2/g and mean pore size of 1.85~2.32 nm. The coin cell using water-based binder in the electrolyte of LiPF6 dissolved in mixed organic solvents (EC:DMC:EMC=1:1:1 vol%) showed better capacity than that of oil-based binder. Also, it was found that the coin cell of water-based binder shows an improved cycling performance and coulombic efficiency.

Carbon composites for flexible fiber heating element were examined to improve the electrical conductivity in this study. Carbon composites using carbon black, denka black, super-c, super-p with/without CNF or dispersant such as BCS03 and Sikament-nn were prepared. Carbon composite slurry was coated on plane film and yarns(cotton, polyester) and the performances of prepared heating materials were investigated by checking electrical surface resistance, adhesion strength. The plane heating element using carbon black under natural drying condition(25℃) had better physical properties such as surface resistance(185.3 Ohm/sq) and adhesion strength(above 90%) than those of other carbon composite heating elements. From these results, polyester heating element coated by carbon black showed better electrical line resistance(33.2 kOhm/cm) than cotton heating element. Then, it was found that polyester heating element coated by carbon black with CNF(3 wt%) and BCS03(1 wt%) appeared best properties(0.604 kOhm/cm).

This research had been conducted from May to October 2007, studying 110 residents of G, Y, H industrial area in Jun-nam province. It is designed to understand the difference in levels of indoor, outdoor and personal exposure to VOCs(benzene, toluene, Ethylbenzene) and a health risk assessment was conducted to see if there was any fatal cause from carcinogenic or non - carcinogenic elements from a case group and a control group in all areas as well as each different area. In the case of benzene in the air, the geometric levels for the case group are indoor, outdoor and personal exposure; a higher than for the control group. As a results of the Monte - Carlo study about benzene, it shows that the case group’s carcinogenicity is higher than that of the control group and it also shows that, on the CTE, RME condition and Monte - Carlo analysis, all subjects are seen to exceed the carcinogenicity tolerance 10-6 of US EPA. In the case of toluene, ethylbenzene on the CTE, RME condition and Monte - Carlo analysis, these do not exceed the non - carcinogenic standard of 1, but toluene in RME condition for both groups’ personal exposure and the indoor and personal exposure of ethylbenzene in Monte - Carlo show that these seem to exceed the standard.
