본 연구는 국가별 화훼 및 절화 국화 소비실태를 파악하여 국내 유통 및 수출 활성화를 위한 마케팅 전략을 수립하고자 실시하였다. 설문조사업체에 의뢰하여 최근 3년간 꽃을 구입 한 경험이 있는 20대에서 60대를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 조사 국가는 한국, 호주, 일본, 베트남이었고 각 국가별 조사 인원은 100명을 대상으로 하였다. 대부분의 조사 국가에서 꽃 소비가 활발한 연령대는 30대인 반면에 일본은 50대와 60대였다. 연간 평균 꽃 구매 횟수는, 베트남은 연 6회 이상 구입이 76%로 나타났고, 나머지 조사 국가는 연 5회 이하로 나타났다. 꽃 구입시 가장 고려하는 것은 신선도, 색, 가격이었다. 국화 꽃의 크기는 4.5~8cm가 모든 국가에서 가장 선호되었다. 국화 형태에 대해서, 베트남은 스탠다드형, 스프레이형, 혼합형의 선택 비율이 거의 유사한 반면에 나머지 국가들은 혼합형을 가장 선호했다. 스프레이형의 경우 Double의 모양이 모든 국가에서 가장 선호도가 높았다. 스탠다드형의 경우, Semi-Double, Pompon, Double의 모양이 공통적으로 높게 나타났다. 색상은 흰색, 노란색, 분홍색의 선호도가 공통적으로 높았으며, 초록색 계통의 경우 대체적으로 낮은 선호도를 보였다. 이 연구 결과가 국가별 맞춤형 품종개발과 마케팅 전략 수립의 기초자료가 될 것으로 사료된다.

May-Thurner syndrome is associated with deep vein thrombosis resulting from chronic compression of the iliac vein against the lumbar vertebrae caused by the overlying common iliac artery. Stent insertion into the compressed lesion is used in treatment of May-Thurner syndrome. Various complications can occur during angioplasty while using a stent. Among these complications, shrinkage of the vein below the stent, a rare complication, was observed in our hospital during treatment of a patient with May-Thurner syndrome. Different complications can occur when venous angioplasty is performed, unlike that when arterial angioplasty is performed.

Munjangbyeo' is a japonica rice cultivar developed from a cross between Sangsanbyeo and Suweon 397 by Sangju Substation of National Yeongnam Agricultural Experiment Station, RDA in 1999. The cultivar is early matured with heading date of Aug. 2 in ordinar

Nonghobyeo', was derived from a mutant of Milyang 95, by pure line selection method, which was developed from the single cross between Chukei 1016 and Milyang 79, by the rice breeding team of National Yeongnam Agricultural Experiment Station (NYAES) in 19

To obtain a basic information on the development of effective control strategies for weedy rice in direct seeding rice cultivation, occurrence patterns of weedy rice as influenced by different cultural practices such as cultivation method, water management, seeding time, and tillage were investigated in field or pot experiments. High occurrence of weedy rice was observed in a continuous direct seeding paddy field as compared to machine transplanted one. Based on the percent of weedy rice panicle over three years trial, high ridged dry seeding was highest with 36.9%, followed by wet seeding with 30.9%, water seeding with 14.6% and machine transplanting rice with 0.8%, indicating 97.8% reduction in weedy rice occurrence by machine transplanting rice as compared with high ridged dry seeding. Germination of weedy rice was promoted to 83-94 % when rice panicle was flooded from September 30 to October 10 for 6 days and 74-88% for 9 days on October 20. Weedy rice occurrence was also substantially reduced by delayed seeding on June 10 and intensive tillage. The results suggest that machine transplanting rice be more effective cultural practice than flooding treatment, delayed seeding and intensive tillage when weedy rice problem occurs in direct seeded paddy field.
