본 연구에서는 물 직분사 시스템을 이용한 복숭아 적뢰·적화작업 가능성을 판단하기 위하여 성능 시 험을 수행하였다. 직분사 시스템은 농약방제용 동력분무기에 자체 개발한 직분사 분무건을 장착한 형태 로서 직분사 성능이 우수하고, 내마모성이 뛰어난 특수노즐을 사용하였다. 개발된 직분사 시스템의 주 요 영향 인자를 도출하기 위해 동력분무기 압력, 분사거리, 노즐직경에 따른 분사충격량과 분사집중도 를 도출하였으며, 복숭아 결과지내 꽃눈 적뢰·적화 시의 성능을 검증하기 위한 요인시험을 수행하였 다. 시험에서는 분무방향, 동력분무기 압력, 분사거리, 노즐직경에 따른 적뢰·적화율과 적엽아율을 도 출하였다. 시험 결과, 적뢰·적화율은 특정 작업조건인 경우 주요 꽃눈 생육단계인 분홍기, 풍선기 및 개화기에서 모두 약 70% 이상, 적엽아율은 10% 이하인 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 개발된 적뢰· 적화 시스템이 현장에서 적용 가능한 수준의 성능을 가지는 것을 의미하는 것으로, 본 연구 결과는 향 후 실증시험을 위한 기초자료로서 활용될 것이다.

This study was carried out to evaluate the basic characteristics of red wine processed from ‘Cheongsan (Vitis amurensis)’ grape cultivar. In order to compare the quality of ‘Cheongsan’ red wine, ‘Campbell Early’ and ‘Muscat Bailey A, MBA’ red wines were also utilized for this study. The pH of the red wines produced from ‘Cheongsan’, ‘Campbell Early’ and ‘MBA’ were 3.1, 3.6 and 4.0, respectively. Tannin, polyphenol, and anthocyanin contents of the ‘Cheongsan’ red wine were 2,939 mg/L, 1,516.2 mg/ L, and 1,882.4 mg/L, respectively. These values were about twice those of ‘Campbell Early’ and ‘MBA’ red wines. The antioxidant level of ‘Cheongsan’ red wine was found to be 5,413.9 mg/L, which was also two times higher than 'Campbell Early' and 'MBA' red wines. Although the acidity of ‘Cheongsan’ red wine is relatively high, ‘Cheongsan’ red wine contains a lot of tannin, matures over an extended period of time and has excellent antioxidant properties. These results indicated that 'Chengsan' grape could be an excellent source for production of high quality red wine.

본 시험은 무항생제 사육방식이 한우육내 코티졸과 지방산 함량에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 실시하였다. 무항생제 및 관행 축산으로 생산된 한우육 1등급 등심(M. longissimus)부위를 3가지의 브랜드별로 각각 3회씩 구매하여 시료로 공시하였고, 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 한우육 등심내 코티졸 함량은 무항생제 처리구에서 관행사육 처리구 대비 유의적(p=0.0176)으로 낮게 나타났으며, 포화지방산 및 불포화지방산 함량에서는 유의적(p>0.05)인 차이를 나타내지는 않았으나, 관행사육 처리구에서는 포화지방산이, 무항생제 처리구에서는 불포화지방산이 각각 높은 경향으로 분석되었다. 또한, 불포화지방산 중 n-3과 n-9 지방산을 제외한 n-6 지방산(linoleic acid, γ-lino-lenic acid)에서 유의적(p<0.01)인 차이를 보였다. 또한, 한우육내 코티졸 농도와 n-6 지방산 농도간의 상관관계를 분석한 결과, 특히 linoleic acid와 유의적(p=0.0140)으로 부(—)의 상관관계가 성립되었다.결과적으로, 무항생제 인증으로 사육된 한우육은 관행적으로 사육된 한우육에서 보다 상대적으로 코티졸 함량이 낮았으며, 건강에 유익한 불포화지방산 함량이 다소 높은 경향으로 분석됨으로써 육질을 향상시키는 것으로 나타났다.

인간의 불임을 극복하기 위한 번식공학 기술의 효율성을 증가시키기 위해 성세포의 동결이 널리 수행되고 있으나 동결 기술의 효율성에 있어서 논란의 여지가 있다. 본 연구에서는 체외수정란을 생산하기 위한 난자세포질내 정자미세주입(ICSI) 시술에 사용되는 정자와 이들 기술을 이용 생산한 체외수정란의 동결이 배 발생 및 임신에 미치는 효과를 조사하였다. ICSI방법으로 체외수정란을 생산하는 경우 정자의 동결이 체외수정, 발생 및 임신에 영향을 미치지 않았으며, 특히 동결융해한 사출 및 정소정자에 의한 체외수정율과 발생율 및 임신율도 차이가 없었다. 한편 체외수정란을 동결하는 경우 완만동결과 초자화동결에 의한 체외수정란의 생존율과 임신율은 차이가 없었으나, 동결수정란은 신선수정란에 비하여 임신율이 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.05). 결론적으로 ICSI에 사용되는 정자와 달리 ICSI에 의해 생산된 수정란을 동결하는 경우 임신율을 저하시킬 수 있다.

As described in the previous paper (Park et al. 2013), the detector subsystem of optical wide-field patrol (OWL) provides many observational data points of a single artificial satellite or space debris in the form of small streaks, using a chopper system and a time tagger. The position and the corresponding time data are matched assuming that the length of a streak on the CCD frame is proportional to the time duration of the exposure during which the chopper blades do not obscure the CCD window. In the previous study, however, the length was measured using the diagonal of the rectangle of the image area containing the streak; the results were quite ambiguous and inaccurate, allowing possible matching error of positions and time data. Furthermore, because only one (position, time) data point is created from one streak, the efficiency of the observation decreases. To define the length of a streak correctly, it is important to locate the endpoints of a streak. In this paper, a method using a differential convolution mask pattern is tested. This method can be used to obtain the positions where the pixel values are changed sharply. These endpoints can be regarded as directly detected positional data, and the number of data points is doubled by this result.

'Green King', a new green tetraploid table grape cultivar with large berries, was originated from a cross between ‘Tensyu’ and ‘Beni Fuji’ grape cultivar in 2000. The cultivar was preliminarily selected among the elite breeding lines for its superior growth characteristics in 2005. After an extensive three-year evaluation of fruit and tree characteristics as 'GWG2002-02', 'Green King' was finally selected in 2008. Under Chuncheon’s ecological conditions, the average harvest date for 'Green King' is 6 September, and the number of days from flowering to harvest is 88 days. Hence, it is 12 days shorter than 'Rosario Bianco'. The average weight of a cluster in 'Green King' is 379.6 g, and its yield is 1,852 kg/10a. It has larger fruit size and higher fruit productivity than ‘Rosario Bianco’ (Registration No. 3560).

The correlation between meteorological data collected at the optical wide-field patrol network (OWL-Net) Station No. 1 and the seeing of satellite optical observation data was analyzed. Meteorological data and satellite optical observation data from June 2014 to November 2015 were analyzed. The analyzed meteorological data were the outdoor air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and cloud index data, and the analyzed satellite optical observation data were the seeing full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) data. The annual meteorological pattern for Mongolia was analyzed by collecting meteorological data over four seasons, with data collection beginning after the installation and initial set-up of the OWL-Net Station No. 1 in Mongolia. A comparison of the meteorological data and the seeing of the satellite optical observation data showed that the seeing degrades as the wind strength increases and as the cloud cover decreases. This finding is explained by the bias effect, which is caused by the fact that the number of images taken on the less cloudy days was relatively small. The seeing FWHM showed no clear correlation with either temperature or relative humidity.

Inactive space objects are usually rotating and tumbling as a result of internal or external forces. KOREASAT 1 has been inactive since 2005, and its drift trajectory has been monitored with the optical wide-field patrol network (OWL-Net). However, a quantitative analysis of KOREASAT 1 in regard to the attitude evolution has never been performed. Here, two optical tracking systems were used to acquire raw measurements to analyze the rotation period of two inactive satellites. During the optical campaign in 2013, KOREASAT 1 was observed by a 0.6 m class optical telescope operated by the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI). The rotation period of KOREASAT 1 was analyzed with the light curves from the photometry results. The rotation periods of the low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite ASTRO-H after break-up were detected by OWL-Net on April 7, 2016. We analyzed the magnitude variation of each satellite by differential photometry and made comparisons with the star catalog. The illumination effect caused by the phase angle between the Sun and the target satellite was corrected with the system tool kit (STK) and two line element (TLE) technique. Finally, we determined the rotation period of two inactive satellites on LEO and geostationary Earth orbit (GEO) with light curves from the photometry. The main rotation periods were determined to be 5.2 sec for ASTRO-H and 74 sec for KOREASAT 1.

‘스위트 드림’은 2009년 강원도 농업기술원의 포도육종 프 로그램에 랙’과 2배체 품종인 ‘캠벨얼리’에 교잡을 통해서 얻 어졌다. ‘스위트 드림’의 과실과 나무의 생육 특성은 2006년부 터 2008년까지 조사되었으며, 2009년 최종 선발되었다. 춘천 에서 ‘스위트 드림’의 최적 수확기는 9월 11일로 대조품종인 ‘캠벨얼리’보다 11일 가량 늦다. ‘스위트 드림’은 수세가 강하 며, 춘천에서 겨울 동안 동해 피해가 발생하지 않아 적당한 수 준의 내한성을 가지고 있다. ‘스위트 드림’의 평균 과방중은 440 g 수준이며, 평균가용성 당함량은 16.4 °Brix이다. ‘스위트 드림’은 무핵포도로서 ‘캠벨얼리’ 보다 큰 과실과 고품질을 가지고 있다. 따라서 ‘스위트 드림’의 보급은 국내 포도 품종의 다양화와 고급화에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Several optical monitoring strategies by a ground-based telescope to protect a Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) satellite from collisions with close approaching objects were investigated. Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO) objects, Inclined GeoSynchronous Orbit (IGSO) objects, and drifted GEO objects forced by natural perturbations are hazardous to operational GEO satellites regarding issues related to close approaches. The status of these objects was analyzed on the basis of their orbital characteristics in Two-Line Element (TLE) data from the Joint Space Operation Center (JSpOC). We confirmed the conjunction probability with all catalogued objects for the domestic operational GEO satellite, Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite (COMS) using the Conjunction Analysis Tools by Analytical Graphics, Inc (AGI). The longitudinal drift rates of GeoSynchronous Orbit (GSO) objects were calculated, with an analytic method and they were confirmed using the Systems Tool Kit by AGI. The required monitoring area was determined from the expected drift duration and inclination of the simulated target. The optical monitoring strategy for the target area was analyzed through the orbit determination accuracy. For this purpose, the close approach of Russian satellite Raduga 1-7 to Korean COMS in 2011 was selected.

By using the Optical Wide-field Patrol (OWL) network developed by the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) we generated the right ascension and declination angle data from optical observation of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. We performed an analysis to verify the optimum number of observations needed per arc for successful estimation of orbit. The currently functioning OWL observatories are located in Daejeon (South Korea), Songino (Mongolia), and Oukaïmeden (Morocco). The Daejeon Observatory is functioning as a test bed. In this study, the observed targets were Gravity Probe B, COSMOS 1455, COSMOS 1726, COSMOS 2428, SEASAT 1, ATV-5, and CryoSat-2 (all in LEO). These satellites were observed from the test bed and the Songino Observatory of the OWL network during 21 nights in 2014 and 2015. After we estimated the orbit from systematically selected sets of observation points (20, 50, 100, and 150) for each pass, we compared the difference between the orbit estimates for each case, and the Two Line Element set (TLE) from the Joint Space Operation Center (JSpOC). Then, we determined the average of the difference and selected the optimal observation points by comparing the average values.

As a governmentally approved domestic entity for Space Situational Awareness, Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) is developing and operating an optical telescopes system, Optical Wide-field PatroL (OWL) Network. During the test phase of this system, it is necessary to determine the range of brightness of the observable satellites. We have defined standard magnitude for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites to calibrate their luminosity in terms of standard parameters such as distance, phase angle, and angular rate. In this work, we report the optical brightness range of five LEO Satellites using OWL-Net.

This study was conducted to select native ground cover plants for sod culture in an organic apple orchard by estimating the effect of three native ground cover plants, Glechoma hederacea, Thymus magnus, and Ixeris stolonifera, on the soil coverage, time-periodic weed occurrence, fruit characteristics, and soil chemical properties. The plant height of G. hederace, T. magnus and I. stolonifera were 15.0 ㎝, 13.4 ㎝ and 7.2 ㎝, respectively. The dry weight of G. hederace, T. magnus and I. stolonifera were 463 ㎏/10a, 247 ㎏/10a, and 255 ㎏/10a, respectively. The plant height and dry weight of G. hederacea were higher than in the other species. T. magnus and I. stolonifera having relatively lower soil cover rate during their life cycle produced a lot of weeds in the orchard as compared with the control. In contrast, G. hederacea showed 100 percentage of ground cover in the first year, and maintained high percentage of ground cover in the growing season of ‘Tsugaru’ apple for another 2 years. When the soil was covered with G. hederacea in the orchard for 3 years, the amount of weed was only 114 ㎏/10a and number of weeding was also reduced about 33% compared with control as well as the other species. There were no differences in the tree growth and fruit characteristics between the native ground cover plants and the control; however, positive effects of native ground cover plants on soil chemical properties were found. In G. hederacea, available P2O4content in soils remarkably increased and was a significant difference among native species. In addition, cation (Ca, Mg and K) content in soils increased by 39% in Ca, 6% in Mg, and 11% in K at G. hederacea compared with control. These results suggest that G. hederacea could be advantageous in terms of reducing the amount of herbicide applied and the labor required for weed control, and controlling soil chemical properties; therefore, it is a good candidate for sod culture in an organic apple orchard.

본 연구에서는 4배체에서 염색체가 가감된 hypo-, hypertetraploid 포도들의 수체생육과 과실의 특성을 검정함으로서, 이들의 특성을 이용한 대립계 무핵포도 품종 육성 가능성에 대해서 검토하고자 하였다. Hypo-, hyper-tetraploid 포도들은 다른 이수체식물들에서 보고되었던 엽의 기형이나 수체생육의 불균일 현상 없이 4배체 포도인 ‘거봉’과 유사한 생육상을 보여 재배적으로 활용하는데 문제가 없는 것으로 나타났다. Hypo-teraploid 포도에서 만개기에 GA3 100 ppm 1회 처리 시 완전 무핵과 과실을 형성하였고, 과립도 8.5∼10.5 g 사이로 대립성 과실을 형성하였다. 하지만, Hyper-teraploid 포도는 hypo-teraploid 포도들에 비해 큰 과립을 가진 포도를 형성하였으나 낮은 무핵율을 나타나게 되는 것으로 조사되었다. 따라서 hypo-tetraploid 포도들의 특성을 이용하는 것은 대립계 무핵포도를 육성하기 위한 유용한 방법이 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Optical microscope, SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) and fluorescent microscope were used for qualitative and morphological studies of the attached biomass on PE (polyethylene) substratum under anaerobic condition. It was shown by the observation of optical microscope that the initial attachment of biomass began in crevices of the surface of PE. The shape and structure of the attached biofilm could be observed by SEM photographs, but species of bacteria were and methanogens were not classified. A large number of methanogenic bacteria were identified on the surface of PE substratum by fluorescence under 480nm of radiation. It was estimated that methanogenic bacteria was also related to initial attachment of biomass under anaerobic condition.
