한국 재래돼지(KK) 69두 및 재래돼지 모돈과 듀록종 웅돈의 교배를 통하여 생산된 교잡종(KD) 88두 로부터 조사된 체중측정 기록에 대해 세 가지 비선형 성장곡선을 적용하여 KK(Korean Native Sow × Korean Native Boar) 및 KD(Korean Native Sow × Duroc Boar)의 성장모형을 추정하고, 추정된 성 장모형의 모수를 이용하여 KK와 KD에 대한 성장특성에 대한 기초자료를 제공하고자 실시하였다. 각각의 성장곡선 함수로 추정한 성장곡선은 다음과 같다. von Bertalanffy 모형의 경우 KK의 암컷, 수컷, KD의 암컷 및 수컷의 모형은 각각 , 및 로 추정되었다. Gompertz 모형의 경우 KK의 암컷, 수컷, KD의 암컷 및 수컷의 모형은 각각 ,, 로 추정되었다. Logistic 모형의 경우 KK의 암컷, 수컷, KD의 암컷 및 수컷의 모형은 각각 , , 및로 추정되었다. von Bertalanffy 모형의 경우 최대성장시기를 나타내는 변곡점()은 KK 암컷집단과 수컷집단에서 각각 4.40±0.12개월령 및 4.86±0.22개월령으로 추정되었고, KD 암컷 및 수컷집단에서는 각각 3.81±0.09개월령 및 4.00±0.08개월령으로 추정되었다. Gompertz 모형의 경우 는 KK암수 및 KD암수에 대해 각각 4.32±0.11개월령, 4.90±0.12개월령, 4.03±0.69개월령 및 4.11±0.06개월령으로 나타났다. Logistic 모형의 경우 는 KK암수 및 KD 암수에 대해 각각 4.18±0.07개월령, 4.41±0.05개 월령, 4.00±0.06개월령 및 4.03±0.04개월령으로 나타났다. 오차 평균 제곱합의 결과를 보면, KK의 성장은 Logistic, Gompertz 그리고 von Bertalanffy 모형 순으로 적합도가 좋은 것으로 판단되며, KD는 Gompertz, Logistic 그리고 von Bertalanffy 모형 순으로 적합도가 좋은 것으로 판단된다.

This study is on the performance characteristics of bubble pump with vertical pipe of different lengths. For the experimental facilities composed of electrical heater used for providing heat source to generate bubble, a vertical tube with Ø4mm diameter, length of 200mm, 300mm, 400mm and 500mm. Storage tank with capacity was of 40 L containing a heat exchanger. The separator and condenser of the air bubble pump were installed separately. The results obtained from this experiment are as follows: there were a few variations of values of temperatures according to vertical pipe lengths of the bubble pump. The mass flow rate was increased by 0.17g/s when it was short as 200㎜ long pipe. But when vertical pipe length was 500㎜, it reached the normal temperature quickly because the slug flow occurred in this case at initial stage. Consequently, it was found that 500㎜ of the vertical pipe length was optimum for best performance of bubble pump.

Predation, development, and ovipostion experiments were conducted to evaluate Amblyseius swirskii (Athias-Henriot) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) as a potential biological control agent for tomato russet mite, Aculops lycopersici (Massee) (Acari: Eriophyidae) which is a periodic pest of greenhouse tomatoes. Results show that A. swirskii attacked all developmental stages of A. lycopersici, and had a type II functional response on the prey densities given. The predation rates of A. swirskii on A. lycopersici in the presense of alternative food sources such as pollen, thrips first instar, or whitefly eggs were recorded as 74%, 56%, and 76%, respectively of the predation rate on A. lycopersici alone. Amblyseius swirskii successfully completed their life-cycle on either A. lycopersici or cattail pollen. At 25oC, 70% RH, development time of female A. swirskii fed on A. lycopersici or on cattail pollen took 5.0 and 6.2 days, respectively. For the first 10 days after moulting to the adult stage, A. swirskii fed on A. lycopersici had higher daily oviposition rate (2.0 eggs per day) than on pollen (1.5 eggs per day). From this laboratory study, it can be concluded that A. swirskii has promising traits as a predator against A. lycopersici and that their populations can be stably maintained using alternative food such as cattail pollen. We suggest that the effectiveness of A. swirskii against A. lycopersici under field conditions deserves to be investigated.

We measured the non-carbon content of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in SWCNT soot using thermogravimetric analysis. The weight increased percentage by the oxidation of metal in the raw soot is well obtained by TGA graph which was confirmed with ICP-AES, XRD, and XPS. This work will be very useful for the purity precise evaluation of SWCNT with UN-vis-NIR spectroscopy.
