토마토를 저면관비 방법으로 육묘할 때 유묘 생장과 상토 무기원소 농도 변화에 적합한 추비의 종류 및 농도를 구명하기 위해 본 실험을 수행하였다. 육묘용 2종류의 동절기 혼합상토 피트모스 0-6mm(PM06)+perlite 1- 2mm(PE2)(7:3, v/v)와 피트모스 5-15mm(PM515)+PE2(7:3, v/v)를 72공 플러그 트레이에 각각 충전하고 토마토 ‘도태 랑다이아’ 종자를 파종하여 발아시킨 후 생장상에서 35 일간 육묘하였다. 자엽형성기에 추비를 시작하였고 13- 2-13, 15-0-15, 20-9-20(N-P2O5-K2O) 복합비료를 순서대로 처리하였다. 추비시 생육 단계별로 25mg·L-1의 농도 차(N 기준)를 둔 3종류의 Program을 두어 시비하였으며, 플러그 트레이의 수분이 포화 기준으로 40-50%로 감소 하였을 때 저면관비하였다. 파종 후 1, 2, 4 및 5주째 혼합상토를 상부, 중간, 하부로 3등분하여 포화추출한 후 추출용액의 pH, EC 및 무기이온 농도를 분석하고, 5주 후에 유묘생장을 조사하였다. 육묘 기간 중 상토의 pH는 PM06+PE2가 PM515+PE2 보다 높았으며, 하부와 중간이 상부보다 높은 경향이었다. EC는 PM06+PE2가 PM515+PE2보다 높았으며 평균적으로 상부가 하부보다 2배 이상 높았다. NH4-N과 K+ 농도는 2종류 혼합상토의 모든 시비 Program에서 육묘 후 5주까지 높아졌으며, PM06+PE2의 추비 프로그램 3에서 가장 높았다. NO3-N 농도는 PM06+PE2에서 육묘기간 동안 높아졌고 추비 농도가 높을수록 그러한 경향이 뚜렷하였다. 지상부 생 체중을 비롯한 유묘의 생장은 PM06+PE2의 추비 Program 2에서 가장 우수하였다. 따라서 2종류 혼합상토 를 이용한 공정육묘시 13-2-13, 15-0-15 및 20-9-20을 순서대로, 질소 기준 25mg·L-1에서 125mg·L-1까지 육묘 기에 따라 점차적으로 높여 추비하는 방법이 적합하다고 판단하였다.

In this study, we analyzed the concentration of cadmium and mercury in urine and lead in blood from 668 residents in the exposed and compared areas in Gwangyang-si and Yeosu-si, from July 2013 to December 2015. According to the lifestyle (past smoking, current smoking, passive smoking, drinking and exercise), the concentration of cadmium in urine was higher in the compared areas than in the exposed areas in Gwangyang. However, the concentration of cadmium in urine according to the lifestyle except drinking was higher in the exposed areas than in the compared areas in Yeosu. According to the past smoking and current smoking, the concentration of mercury in urine was higher in the compared areas than in the exposed areas in Gwangyang, but the passive smoking, drinking and exercise showed similar concentration levels both in the exposed and compared areas in Gwangyang. The concentration of mercury in urine according to the past smoking and current smoking was higher in the exposed areas than in the compared areas in Yeosu, but the concentration of mercury in urine according to the drinking and exercise was lower in the exposed areas than in the compared areas in Yeosu. According to the past smoking, the concentration of lead in blood showed similar concentration levels in the exposed and compared areas in Gwangyang, but regarding current and passive smoking, it was higher in the compared areas than in the exposed areas in Gwangyang. Especially, the concentration of lead in blood according to the drinking in Gwangyang showed statistically significant difference (p<0.05). The concentration of lead in blood according to the lifestyle was higher in the compared areas than in the exposed areas in Yeosu.

Effect of salt concentration (10, 20 and 30%, respectively) and fermentation temperature (10 and 20oC, respectively) on changes in quality index (VBN, Histamine, Amino nitrogen, Total viable cell counts, Coliform bacteria and E. coli counts) of culinary salted and fermented anchovy during fermentation were investigated to suggestion of fundamental documents for industrial objectives. Our results show that the effect of salt concentration on changes in quality index was not high compared with fermentation temperature in salted and fermented anchovy with below 20% of salt concentration however effect of salt concentration and fermentation temperature on quality index was not significant with 30% salt concentration. And all most whole changes of quality index were rapidly increased or decreased for 30 days of fermentation.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of a lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) extract on the inflammation of human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) and blood lipid improvement in hypercholesterolemic mice fed a high cholesterol diet. The lettuce extract (100% ethanol extract) inhibited the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 in HUVEC treated with tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). The lettuce extract suppressed the adhesion of THP-1 to TNF-α-treated HUVEC. The lettuce extract decreased the TNF-α-stimulated production of proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-6, interleukin-8 and chemokine monocyte chemotactic protein 1. In hypercholesterolemic mice, the lettuce extract reduced serum total cholesterol, triglyceride, and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol level, while the lettuce extract elevated high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol level, resulting in the decrease of atherogenic index and cardiac risk factor level. These results suggested that lettuce extract can be an useful resource to show an anti-inflammatory effect and improve lipid metabolism

This study investigated the effect of high concentration of free ammonia on microalgal growth and substrate removal by applying real wastewater nitrogen ratio. To test of this, the conditions of free ammonia 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 mg-N/L are compared. After 3 days of incubation, algal growth of Chlorella vulgaris and carbon removal rate are respectively lower in the reactors of FA 12, 15 mg-N/L compared to the others. This indicates that the high concentration of free ammonia, in this case, above 12 mg-N/L, has negative effect on algal growth and metabolic activity. Also, high concentration of free ammonia causes the proton imbalance, ammonium accumulation in algae and has toxicity for these reasons. So, we have to consider free ammonia in applying the microalgae to wastewater treatment system by the way of diluting wastewater or controlling pH and temperature.

2011-2015년 동안 한국 중부 태안과 청주 강내의 배경 관측지점에서 측정한 PM10, PM2.5 질량 농도를 분석하 였다. 황사 사례를 제외한 PM10 질량 농도의 계절변동에서 겨울-봄 동안 높은 농도는 서풍 기류에 의한 영향이 반영 되고 있으며, 여름에는 북태평양 기단과 잦은 강수로 낮은 수준을 보이고 있었다. 따라서, 일평균 PM10 질량 농도 81μg m-3 (미세먼지 예보 ‘약간 나쁨’ 이상) 이상의 사례도 겨울-봄 동안에 발생이 많으며, 특히 중국 동부 배출원에 가까 운 태안에서 더 많은 사례가 발생하고 있었다. 인위적으로 발생한 연무는 입경 2.5 μm 미만 입자의 구성 비율이 높다. 천리안 위성의 밝기온도차 분석에서 대기와 입자가 작은 연무는 −0.5 o K 이상에서 관측된다. 2011-2015년 동안 태안과 청주 강내에서 관측한 연무 사례일의 PM10 질량 농도와 NOAA 19 위성 밝기온도차를 분석하였다. PM10 질량 농도 는 200 μg m−3 보다 낮지만, PM2.5/PM10 질량 농도비는 0.4보다 높고 밝기온도차는 −0.3-0.5 o K 범위에 분포하고 있었 다. 그러나, PM10 질량 농도 190 μg m−3 이상인 황사 사례의 밝기온도차는 PM2.5/PM10 질량 농도비가 0.4보다 낮고, 밝기온도차는 −0.7 o K 이하의 범위에 분포하고 있었다. 이러한 연무의 밝기온도차 경계값 범위를 적용한 결과는 MODIS AOD, OMI AI의 에어로졸 분포 범위와 일치하였다.

Effect of heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Zn) on the survival and population growth rates (PGR) of marine rotifer, Brachionus plicatilis were examined. B. plicatilis were exposed to Cd, Cu and Zn for 24 h to determine their survival and 72 h to determine their PGR. Survival rates in the control groups were greater than 90%. They were decreased with increasing concentrations of Cd, Cu and Zn. Survival rates were reduced in a concentration-dependent manner. Significant reduction in survival rates after exposure to Cd, Cu and Zn at concentration greater than 40.00, 0.13 and 10.00 mg L-1, respectively. PGR in the control groups were greater than 0.50. They were decreased with increasing concentrations of heavy metals. PGR were reduced in a concentrationdependent manner. Significant reduction in PGR after exposure to Cd, Cu and Zn occurred at concentration greater than 12.5, 0.06 and 1.00 mg L-1, respectively. The order of heavy metal toxicity based on PGR was Cu>Zn>Cd, with EC50 (50% Effective Concentration) values of 0.12, 6.15 and 21.41 mg L-1, respectively. The lowest-observed-effective-concentrations (LOEC) of PGR after exposure to Cd, Cu and Zn were 12.50, 0.06 and 1.00 mg L-1, respectively. The No-observedeffective- concentrations (NOEC) of PGR after exposure to Cd, Cu and Zn were 6.25, 0.03 and 0.01 mg L-1, respectively, in marine ecosystems have toxic effects on PGR of B. plicatilis. These results suggest that the PGR of B. plicatilis are useful tool to assess the effect of heavy metals on primary consumers in marine natural ecosystems.

The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the effect of Chamaecyparis obtus extract to reduce odor emissions released from the swine feeding operations. Finisher pigs [Landrace × (Yorkshire × Duroc)] with an initial body weight averaging 50 kg were housed separately in two rooms with eighty eight pigs in each room at a swine feeding operation site. C. obtus extract was sprayed in the room by ceiling sprayer for one minute at twice per day during two months. Concentrations of odorous compounds from air in the room of the swine feeding operation were analyzed at four times during two months. Levels of butyric acid, valeric acid, i-butyric acid, ivaleric acid, skatole, methylmercaptan, and trimethylamine tended to decrease in C. obtus extract spray treatment group compared to the non-spray treatment group (P > 0.05). Odor activity values of butyric acid, valeric acid, skatole and trimethylamine were higher than other odorous compounds and decreased by 72%, 76%, 54% and 20%, respectively, in C. obtus extract spray treatment group compared to the non-spray group. Taken together, C. obtus extract showed an odor reducing capability in the air of a swine feeding operation suggesting that it possesses anti-bacterial properties as well as having a dust removal and masking effect.

Soluble salts are dominant form at reclaimed tidal saline soil, which can be improved by leaching with excessive irrigation water. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of irrigation on soil salinity and corn (Zea mays) growth at reclaimed tidal saline soil. A field experiment was conducted at Saemangeum reclaimed tidal land in Korea, during two successive growing seasons between 2013 and 2014. During the growing season, three different irrigation practices were applied as following; (1) irrigation at −35 kPa, (2) irrigation at −50 kPa, and (3) no-irrigation. Soil salinity was significantly decreased with increasing irrigation rates. Soluble cations were statistically decreased with irrigation; especially the depression of soluble Na was greater than other cations. Corn growth was significant with irrigation practice and the length of stem, panicle number, and stem thickness was statistically greater compared to the control. Although the germination rate was more than 95% in all treatment, withering rate was great in both growing seasons, which was significantly decreased with irrigation practice. Our results indicated that salt control is critical at reclaimed tidal saline soil and irrigation practice based on soil potential could be one of the best management options to alleviate salt damages for stable crop production at reclaimed tidal saline soil.

혐기성 Membrane Bioreactor 공정은 기존 단점을 보완하고 고-액을 효과적으로 분리시켜 혐기슬러지를 소화조로 재순환시켜 미생물 체류시간을 연장시킬 뿐만 아니라 슬러지 멤브레인 폐쇄공정 속에서 취급되기 때문에 악취발생도 최소화되는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에 적용된 UF 여과막 결합 혐기소화공정에서 사용된 음폐수 유입 pH는 4.12, TS 12%이었다.

It has been reported that the increased uric acid level is associated with metabolic syndrome risk factors in both male and female. However, there has not been enough studies to investigate gender differences of this association in Korea. To evaluate relation between serum uric acids and metabolic syndrome markers, anthropometric and biochemical analyses data was obtained from National Health Examination 2005 and 5,523 (M=3,097; F=2,426) data was analyzed. Results by quartile of serum uric acid levels in females showed that increased serum uric acid level was associated with elevated levels of total-. LDL-cholesterol, and triglycerides, whereas association between serum uric acid and total cholesterol levels was not observed in male subjects. In both female and male, higher quartile of serum uric acid level were linked with lower levels of HDL-cholesterol. In regression analysis, association of serum uric acid levels with fasting glucose levels was significant in female subjects only. In conclusion, higher serum uric acid levels were associated with metabolic syndrome indices, however gender differences were existed for total cholesterol.

The effect of NaOH concentration on the properties of electrolytic plasma processing (EPP) coating formed on AZ61A Mg alloy is studied. Various types of EPP were employed on magnesium alloy AZ61A in a silicate bath with different concentrations of NaOH additive. Analysis of the composition and structure of the coating layers was carried out using an Xray diffractometer (XRD) and a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results showed that the oxide coating layer mainly consisted of MgO and Mg2SiO4; its porosity and thickness were highly dependent on the NaOH concentration. The Vickers hardness was over 900 HV for all the coatings. The oxide layer with 3 g/l of NaOH concentration exhibited the highest hardness value (1220 HV) and the lowest wear rate. Potentiodynamic testing of the 3 g/l NaOH concentration showed that this concentration had the highest corrosion resistance value of 2.04 × 105 Ωcm2; however, the corrosion current density value of 5.80 × 10−7 A/cm2 was the lowest such value.

보리, 밀 등에서 발생되는 붉은곰팡이병균(Fusarium)은 전세계적으로 분포하고 있으며 작물의 수확량을 감소시키고 품질을 저하시키는 원인이 된다. 특히, 곰팡이병균은 deoxynivalenol(DON), nivalenol(NIV), zearalenone(ZEA) 등과 같은 제2차 대사산물인 곰팡이 독소를 생성하여 사람과 가축에 치명적인 피해를 주기도 한다. 발암물질로 알려진 곰팡이독 소는 조리 및 가공 후에도 분해되지 않는 특성으로 인해 오염된 곡물을 미리 검출하여 폐기해야 그 피해를 막을 수 있다. 기존 곰팡이독소 검출을 위해서는 정확성이 높은 TLC, HPLC, ELISA 등을 사용하고 있지만 고가 장비 및 전문 인력이 요구되고 있으며 분석을 위해 장시간이 소요되는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 1175∼2170 nm의 근적 외선(NIR) 파장대역을 가진 분광센서를 이용하여 곰팡이독소(DON)에 오염된 겉보리 시료의 농도를 예측하고자 하였 다. 겉보리 시료에 적용된 곰팡이독소(DON)의 농도별로 0, 10, 100, 10000 ppm으로 각각 20립씩 총 80립을 조제하였 다. 용매는 아세트나이트릴에 침지하였으며 질소를 이용하여 건조시켜 곰팡이 독소를 조제하였으며 NIR 분광센서를 이용하여 총 3회 반복 측정하였다. 겉보리의 농도별 곰팡이독소를 예측하기 위해서 교정 및 검정 PLSR(Partial least square regression) 모델을 개발하였으며 각각의 반사 스펙트럼 전처리별 R2, SEC, SEP 등의 값을 산출하여 예측성능을 비교하였다.

나노실리카가 코팅된 유리 표면은 나노실리카 표면에 존재하는 친수성 수산기로 인해 방담성 이 매우 증가하나, 실외에 설치된 유리에 코팅된 경우는 비에 의해 씻겨 나가 방담 특성의 내구성이 급 격히 감소한다. 또한 나노실리카가 코팅된 유리 표면의 토폴로지는 광투과율 또는 반사방지 특성을 좌우 하는 매우 중요한 인자이다. 이러한 나노실리카 코팅의 특성에 관한 내구성을 향상시키기 위하여 가교제 로 테트라에틸오르소실리케이트 (TEOS)를 사용하여 나노실리카 (Ludox) 현탁액으로 친수성 나노실리카 피막을 제조하였다. 산성 또는 염기성 수용액 중에서의 TEOS의 가수 분해 최적 조건도 물에 대한 접촉 각 측정을 통하여 조사하였다.산성 또는 염기성 수용액 중에서의 TEOS의 가수 분해 최적 조건도 물에 대한 접촉 각 측정을 통하여 조사하였다. pH=4의 산성 조건에서 1.5 wt% 나노실리카-TEOS 코팅액으로 얻은 최종 투명한 친수성 코팅층은 매우 향상된 친수성에 대한 내구성뿐만 아니라, 코팅하지 않은 유리에 비해 약 2 % 포인트 정도 높은 가시광투과율을 나타내었다.

Irrigation with saline water of rivers and groundwater reservoir into paddy field cause decreases rice production depending on water salinity. The purpose of this research was to determine the critical concentration of water salinity for provision of a basic information on the stable rice production in west costal area of Honam region. A greenhouse experiment was conducted at the 13 levels of saline water [0.01(control) 0.03, 0.05, 0.08, 0.10, 0.13, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25, 0.30, 0.50, 0.70, 1.00%] in transplanted rice using c.v. Cheongho and tolerance to different water salinities was evaluated at three growth stages of the rice plant such as [(35 DAT:Tillering), (81 DAT:Heading), and (106 DAT:Ripening)], respectively. Increasing water salinity significantly decreased grain yield and the higher in salinity the severe effect on yield reduction. The growth responses to water salinity varied at different growth stages of rice. At 35 DAT, increased water salinity decreased plant height and number of tillers significantly. Higher water salinity delayed the days to heading by 2 days (0.05%), 4 days (0.08%) and 7 days (0.1%). The critical water salinity at 35 DAT was below 0.08%. At 81 DAT, Cheongho survived at 0.10 and 0.08% salinity, respectively. However, at water salinity levels above 0.10%, the yield components such as number of panicles and number of spikelet decreased drastically. Thus, it was suggested that the critical water salinity at the mid-stage (tillering~heading, 81 DAT) was 0.05%, At 106 DAT, based on yield index that gives above 50% grain yield, the 0.05% salinity showed the lowest 61.1% grain yield of 19.2 g/plant as compared with the highest grain yield of 31.4 g/plant at 0.01% (control).
