Sweet pepper(paprika) belongs to the genus Capsicum, and is one of the most important export product from Korea to Japan and Southeast Asia. So it is important to eradicate plant quarantine pests before export sweet pepper. Aphids, whiteflies and mites are major pests that can damage to sweet peppers. Fumigation is normally used to eradicate pests in plant quarantine, but phytotoxicity may can be appeared that affect the quality of the product. Low-temperature treatment, one of the most popular physical treatment, can reduce crop damage to preserve product quality, but it takes long time to kill pests, which can cause quality degradation. In this study, phytotoxicity of fumigants, phosphine(PH3), ethyl formate(EF) and PH3+EF on sweet peppers was investigated to use as basic data for physicochemical treatment. When treated with more than 35 mg/L of EF, phytotoxicity was occurred, and was not occurred with PH3. When low-temperature of 1.7 degrees treated for 15 days after fumigation, it seems to be no direct damage from low-temperature treatment. But quality of top of sweet pepper was decreased from 7 days after fumigation.

Nuclear spent fuel (SNF) disposal in deep geological repositories is considered as one of sound options for the long-term and safe sequestration of radiotoxic SNF and the sustainable use of nuclear energy. The chemical behaviors of various radionuclides originated from SNF should be well understood to evaluate the migrational behaviors of radionuclides and their reactions and interactions with various geochemical components. Formation of secondary minerals, colloids, other insoluble precipitates is of interest since the concentrations of radionuclides in groundwaters can be limited by the solubility of those solid phases. Particularly when evaluating their solubility, the use of well-defined solid materials in terms of chemical composition and molecular structure is crucial to obtain reliable measurement results. In this study, a synthetic calcium uranyl silicate (Ca-U(VI)-silicate, or uranophane) was prepared and characterized by using various analytical methods including powder X-ray diffraction (pXRD), scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (SEM/EDX), and vibrational (FTIR and Raman) spectroscopies. Uranyl silicate minerals are significant to the disposal of nuclear wastes. Our simulation demonstrates that uranophane (Ca[UO2SiO3OH]2·5H2O), one having a U:Si ratio of 1:1, can be a mineral species limiting U(VI) solubility under groundwater conditions in Korea. For the preparation of Ca-U(VI)-silicate, we applied a two-step hydrothermal synthetic procedure reported in literature with modification. Briefly, we conclude that the obtained mineral phase is the ‘α-uranophane’; our characterization results show that the structural and spectroscopic properties of the synthetic Ca-U(VI)-silicate agree well with those of α-uranophane. For instance, the pXRD patterns obtained from the solid show nearly identical diffraction peak positions with those from the reference XRD pattern. From IR and Raman spectroscopy it is noticed that the stretching modes of UO2 2+ and SiO4 4- ions result in strong absorption bands in a region of 700 ~ 1,100 cm-1. Elemental compositions of the synthetic solids were also estimated by using EDX analysis, which results in a Ca:U:Si ratio close to 1:2:2 on average. However, we found that it is difficult to obtain good crystallinity of uranophane, which can be observable by using SEM and its image analysis. We believe that this work serves as a model study to provide synthetic routes of radionuclide-related mineral phases and applicable solid phase characterization methods. In the presentation, the potential use of the U(VI)-silicate solid phase for the upcoming groundwater solubility measurements will be discussed. Keywords: Hexavalent Uranium, Silicate

The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation among bone mineral density(BMD), body composition and body circumference on 20's college women in Hwaseong. A total of 86 subjects were measured with BMD and body composition and body circumference. To evaluate the correlation between BMD and body composition, bone density and body weight, body mass index(BMI), lean body mass, muscle mass, fat mass and body fat mass were compared. The results of this study, weight was considered the strong correlation with BMD than the height and BMI seems to be greater significance rather than the lumbar spine and femur BMD. In addition, the relationship between body composition and BMD, lean body mass, muscle mass, body fat mass were the most relevant factors and BMD. The relationship between BMD and body circumference that have been difficult because of not enough previous studies but somewhat the study showed that association.

Web2.0 refers to a new service models based by a community oriented philosophy. This creates new opportunities for technology providers and service. The agricultural technology information service in the base of open source technology provide opportunities for increased distribution and visibility to farmer and general user. We would like to find out vest service models and platform that will find new ways of agriculture technology information service. This study suggests that these new agriculture information service strategy in new paradigm of web 2.0. should be revised and adapted to Open API and new applied strategy in agriculture should be developed considering the impact of web 2.0.

Trophoblasts, in the placenta, play a role for placental development as well as implantation in the early pregnancy. The characteristics and functions of trophoblast are identified by their localization and potency for proliferation, differentiation, and invasion. Thus, inadequate trophoblast cell death induces trophoblast dysfunction resulting in abnormal placental development and several gynecological diseases. Recently, it was reported that increased immortalization-upregulated protein-2 (IMUP-2) by hypoxia influences trophoblast apoptosis. However, IMUP-2 function on autophagy, which is type II programmed cell death remains unclear. In this study, we analyzed IMUP-2 expression in trophoblast cells (HTR8-SVneo) and compared IMUP-2 effects on cell death including apoptosis and autophagy in trophoblast regardless of IMUP-2 expression. Increased IMUP-2 in trophoblast by IMUP-2 gene transfection induces cell death, especially, apoptosis increases more than autophagy (p<0.05). However, the decreased IMUP-2 in trophoblasts after siRNA treatment decreased apoptosis with the decreased activities of caspase 3 and 7. The expressions of LC3 and MDC as an autophagosome makers and phosphorylated mTOR, which is a negative regulator for autophagy, increased. In addition, the S phase of cell cycle increased in trophoblasts when IMUP-2 expression decreased. Taken together, the alteration of IMUP-2 can control the balance between apoptosis and autophagy of trophoblasts resulting in functional involvement in placental development and in gynecological diseases by regulating the function of trophoblasts.
