The physiological characteristics, growth, and yield of each regional rice variety (‘Odaebyeo’, ‘Saechucheong’, ‘Ilmibyeo’) were investigated depending on the impact of changes in temperature and CO2 concentration. Experiments were conducted with a control group, which reflected atmospheric CO2 concentration and temperature, and treatment groups, in which the CO2 concentration and temperature were increased by 250 ppm and 2.0℃ from those in the control group. The results showed that the increase in CO2 concentration and temperature reduced the growth and yield of the rice ‘Odaebyeo’, but did not substantially change the productivity of the ‘Saechucheong’ and ‘Ilmibyeo’. The increase in CO2 concentration and temperature increased stomatal conductance and rate of transpiration of the ‘Odaebyeo’ variety, thereby decreasing its water use efficiency (WUE). In contrast, the increase in CO2 concentration and temperature increased the photosynthetic rate and WUE of the ‘Saechucheong’ and ‘Ilmibyeo’ varieties. The gradual change in climate is considered to directly affect growth and development of rice and diversely affect the productivity of each variety. Therefore, it is necessary to implement technological development, select regionally optimal rice varieties, develop new rice varieties, as well as conduct long-term monitoring of each rice variety for climate adaptation to counter global warming.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of different water temperatures (8, 11, 14 and 17°C) on growth, survival and hematological parameters of juvenile chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) for eight weeks. At the end of the experiment, at 14°C, the final body weights of the O. keta group were the highest compared to the other groups. Also, the O. keta showed a higher tendency in the 14°C group than the 8, 11, and 17°C groups in terms of growth performances, including specific growth rate (SGR), feed conversion ratio (FCR), feed efficiency (FE), weight gain (WG), and condition factor (CF). The survival rate (SR) was 100% at 8 and 11°C groups, 96% at 14°C group and 98% at 17°C group. In the plasma components, the alanine aminotransferase (ALT) was significantly decreased at 17°C group, whereas there was no significant change in the albumin (ALB), total protein (TP), sodium (Na+), potassium (K+) and chloride (Cl-) levels. Among the whole-body composition of salmon, moisture, crude protein, and ash were not significantly affected by water temperature. However, crude lipid in the 8°C group was significantly higher than in other water temperature groups. The results of this study demonstrated that the optimal temperature to stable growth performance for juvenile O. keta was 14°C.

Perilla plant is a special crop that is used as oilseed and food in Korea. Root lesion nematodes have caused great damage to perilla plants, so for effective management of root lesion nematodes, it is necessary to understand their ecology in perilla. In this study, we investigated the effect of temperature in the development of Pratylenchus penetrans (Pp) and Pratylenchus vulnus (Pv) when the nematodes infected the perilla plant. To estimate the effect of temperature, we assessed the reproduction factor (RF); final population/initial population (Pf/Pi) of these two nematode species. We used perilla plants as inoculated hosts and investigated the density of nematodes at 10 weeks after inoculation. As a result, the RF of Pp was highest at 20°C (0.41 (1st test), 2.2 (2nd test)) followed by 25, 30, and 15°C. The RF of Pv was highest at 30°C (9.84 (1st test), 31.39 (2nd test)), followed by 25, 20, and 15°C. Comparing the RF by temperature between Pp and Pv, Pv was higher than Pp at all temperatures used in the test. This study showed the optimal development temperature of Pp was 20-25°C and Pv was 30°C, respectively.

The germination characteristics of the resting cysts of Pheopolykrikos hartmannii collected from the southern coastal sediments of Korea were studied at different temperature conditions, and the morphology and phylogeny of the germlings were examined. The resting cysts of Ph. hartmannii were round and characterized by a red accumulation body and many arrow-like spines and could germinate at temperature of 10 to 30°C. High germination rates (>90%) were observed at 15 and 20°C, indicating that the resting cysts could act as seed populations for the bloom initiation of Ph. hartmannii in Korean coastal waters in early summer or early fall. The morphology of the germlings was generally consistent with the previous description, and an apical groove characterized by a fully enclosed loop was observed. Phylogenetic analysis based on large SubUnit (LSU) rRNA gene sequences revealed that the germlings shared an identical sequence with the Korean and American isolates of Ph. hartmannii and was a sister clade of Polykrikos species.

수송은 양식어류의 양식과정에서 필수적으로 수행되며, 선별과 같은 물리적인 스트레스 요인 중 하나이다. 이러한 이유로 본 연구에서는 해산어류인 넙치를 이용하여 수송 시 염분, 수온 및 마취제의 영향을 확인하기 위해 수송 시 해수 염분(35‰, 15‰)과 수온은 20℃ (natural water temperature, NWT), 15℃ (cooling water temperature, CWT)로 설정하였으며 마취제(anesthesia, Anes., Sigma USA)는 50 ppm 희석하여 염분, 수온, 마취제 요인들을 혼합한 실험구를 설정하였 다. 실험구는 각각 NWT+35‰, CWT+ 35‰, NWT+15‰, CWT+15‰, NWT+15‰+Anes. 및 CWT+15‰+Anes.으로 설정하였다. 스티로폼 상자(66×42×20 cm)를 수송용기로 사용하였으 며, 해수 3 ℓ와 액화산소를 주입한 비닐봉지에 넙치 8마리씩 수용하여 수송하였다. 연구 결과 수송 전 코티졸 농도는 2.4±0.1 ng ml-1로부터 CWT+35‰ 구(16.7±12.8 ng ml-1)를 제외한 나 머지 실험구에서 유의하게 높아졌다.

PURPOSES : The increasing heat wave warnings during the summer season in Korea have significant impacts on daily life and industry as a whole, especially in urban areas (such as areas with asphalt and sidewalk pavements). Heat waves directly affect urban heat island and heat dome phenomena. Various urban temperature reduction measures are being discussed to reduce urban heat islands and heat dome phenomena and to improve citizen safety against summer heat waves; suggestions include thermal packaging, rooftop greening, and expansion of vegetation areas. There is a lack of analysis on the methodology for increasing the road spraying effect during summer heat waves (e.g., there is no systematic engineering study on the effect from reducing the temperature of the road spraying during a heat wave in the city) and on the types of road pavements in the city. In addition, as the asphalt pavements of roadways and block pavements installed in sidewalks account for a considerable portion of all pavements, this study provides a more systematic and scientific approach and procedures for reducing temperatures through road spraying in the city by tracking the effects of heat waves. METHODS : In this preliminary experiment, four types of road pavement materials were selected as test specimens: asphalt test specimens (AP- 300 mm × 300 mm × 50 mm), concrete test specimens (CP-300 mm × 300 mm × 50 mm), impermeable blocks (IB-200 mm × 200 mm × 60 mm), and self-permeable blocks (PB-200 mm × 200 mm × 60 mm). As a test method to evaluate the size and duration of each spray effect package type, the surface temperature of each specimen was measured using thermal imaging cameras every 20 min after spraying at the maximum temperature point of each specimen, and the average surface temperature was analyzed based on the collected temperature data. In addition, to conduct a quantitative analysis of the effect of reducing the surface temperature of road pavements by road spraying in summer, field tests were conducted on asphalt roads and watertight blocks for sidewalks. RESULTS : As a result of the comparative analysis of the spray effect under a 36 ℃ air temperature based on a heat wave warning, the surface temperatures were, from high to low, the asphalt (68.8 ℃), concrete (59.1 ℃), impermeable block (57.3 ℃), and permeable block (58.7 ℃). The asphalt pavement had the greatest effect on the heat island and heat dome phenomena. From measuring the temperature reduction effect and sustainability of each type of road pavement, the surface temperature reduction effects were ranked in the following order: water-permeable block (Δ18.0 ℃), asphalt test piece (Δ17.5 ℃), concrete test piece (Δ12.2 ℃), and water-permeable block (over 240 min). In the report pitching block, the average road surface temperature reduction between the pore recovery and treatment was expected to continue to decrease by approximately -4.3 ℃ on the day of work and approximately -2.4 ℃ on the next day. The expected effect of the temperature reduction owing to simple spraying on the surface of the pore block was evaluated to be limited to the day. CONCLUSIONS : In the road spray effect analysis conducted on the common asphalt road, there was a slight difference in the initial temperature reduction size as the test specimen was measured, but the surface temperature difference between the non-spray section and spray section tended to be approximately Δ3°C after 140 minutes of spraying. Therefore, it was determined that the asphalt pavement temperature reduction plan through road spraying in urban areas in summer would be the most effective if it was repeated twice or more in an hour (between 13:00 and 14:00) on the day of the heat wave.

The acoustic emission (AE) is proposed as a feasible method for the real-time monitoring of the structural damage evolution in concrete materials that are typically used in the storage of nuclear wastes. However, the characteristics of AE signals emitted from concrete structures subjected to various environmental conditions are poorly identified. Therefore, this study examines the AE characteristics of the concrete structures during uniaxial compression, where the storage temperature and immersion conditions of the concrete specimens varied from 15℃ to 75℃ and from completely dry to water-immersion, respectively. Compared with the dry specimens, the water-immersed specimens exhibited significantly reduced uniaxial compressive strengths by approximately 26%, total AE energy by approximately 90%, and max RA value by approximately 70%. As the treatment temperature increased, the strength and AE parameters, such as AE count, AE energy, and RA value, of the dry specimens increased; however, the temperature effect was only minimal for the immersed specimens. This study suggests that the AE technique can capture the mechanical damage evolution of concrete materials, but their AE characteristics can vary with respect to the storage conditions.

The effect of five different constant temperatures (18, 21, 24, 27, and 30±1°C) and a photoperiod of 14 : 10 (L : D) h on the reproduction parameters of Spodoptera frugiperda was studied. The longevity of adult female S. frugiperda decreased with increasing temperature (22.4 days at 21°C and 13.9 days at 30°C) but not at 18°C. The pre-oviposition period and oviposition period was the shortest at 30°C compared to the other temperatures. The total fecundity egg count was 887.4, 1,246.4, 1,348.9, 1,154.9, and 1,034.2 at 18, 21, 24, 27 and 30°C, respectively, during its life span. The survival rate of female S. frugiperda decreased rapidly after 13 days at 18°C, after 14 days at 21°C, after 15 days at 27°C, and after 9 days at 24°C, and 30°C. On the third day after the start of oviposition, 50% of the total fecundity was accomplished. In corn fields at less than the 10-leaf stage, the distribution of S. frugiperda egg masses was observed in the middle and lower plant regions, corresponding to 46.8% and 41.4% of the total egg masses, respectively. Egg masses were mostly found on the underside of the leaf blade (abaxial) of corn (66.7%). After releasing S. frugiperda adults on May 12, May 17, May 25, and May 30, the number of eggs per egg mass was 89.9, 88.5, 126.6, and 127.9, respectively. Egg masses of the subsequent generations of S. frugiperda were observed from late June, and the number of eggs per egg mass was 155.8 in late June, 270.7 in early July, and 303.5 in mid-July.

Cassia tora seed was processed by germination and roasting to develop a germinated Cassia tora tea. The effects of extraction temperature on antioxidative compounds in tea extracts were examined and compared to four different commercial Cassia tora tea products. The contents of antioxidative compounds, such as phenolics, flavonoids, and β-carotene, increased as the extraction temperature increased (5 to 80oC), subsequently increasing in vitro antioxidant activities (DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities). Germinated Cassia tora tea had higher antioxidative activity than selected commercial Cassia tora teas, and the difference was significant at low extraction temperature. Therefore, the germinated Cassia tora tea could contribute to a new type of tea product with enhanced bioactive and antioxidative activities by adopting appropriate processing and extraction conditions.

본 연구는 고속스핀에코 기법을 이용한 MRI 검사에서 영상 변수가 전자파 흡수율(SAR)과 온도 증가에 미치는 영향을 평가해 보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 인체 등가 조직 팬텀을 제작하였고 같은 조건에서 재위상화 RF의 FA와 ETL을 증가시키 며 MRI 검사를 시행하였다. SAR는 장비에서 계산된 두부 SAR값을 사용하였고 팬텀의 온도 변화는 양성자 공명 주파수를 이용해 계산하였다. 실험 결과, FA를 60°에서 180°까지 증가시켰을 때 SAR는 약 8배까지 상승하였고 팬텀의 온도 상승의 폭은 약 2.8배(0.21°-0.599°) 증가하였다. 그리고 다중 회귀 분석 결과, FA는 SAR와 온도 상승의 관계에서 표준화 계수 가 각각 0.935, 0.741로 나타나 높은 상관관계를 보였다. ETL은 15에서 30까지 증가시켰을 때 SAR는 약 2배 증가하였 다. 하지만 팬텀의 온도 상승 폭은 오히려 39.2%(0.53°-0.303°) 감소하였다. 다중 회귀 분석 결과에서도 ETL은 SAR의 관계에서 표준화 계수가 0.741로 양의 상관관계를 보였지만 온도 상승의 경우 표준화 계수가 –0.482로 나타나 음의 상관 관계가 있었다. 이는 ETL이 15에서 30까지 증가함에 따라 검사 시간이 약 43% 짧아져 전자파의 노출 시간이 감소한 것이 원인이 될 수 있다. 결국, FSE 기법을 이용한 MRI 검사에서는 재위상화 FA는 최소화하고 기준 SAR 범위 내에서 ETL을 최대로 적용하면 전자파로 인한 온도 상승을 최소화할 수 있어 환자 안전을 증진 시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

열대 및 아열대성 비래해충으로 최근 국내에도 옥수수에 피해를 주고 있는 열대거세미나방의 온도별 발육특성을 인공먹이를 이용하여 사육 하며 조사하였다. 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 32°C 항온조건에서 알에서 성충까지의 발육하기까지 각각 79.8, 54.2, 34.3, 28.4, 24.6, 24.0일이 소요되어 온도가 증가할수록 발육기간이 짧아졌다. 암컷 번데기의 발육기간은 수컷보다 짧았다. 유충은 보통 6령까지 발육하였으나 저온에서 7령 이상의 비 율이 증가하였다. 온도에 따른 발육은 직선회귀에 부합하였으며, 직선회귀식을 이용하여 각 발육태별 발육영점온도와 유효적산온도를 분석한 결 과, 알은 12.9°C와 37.0 DD, 유충은 11.3°C와 286.3 DD, 번데기는 12.6°C와 132.2 DD, 알에서 성충까지는 11.8°C와 456.8 DD 였다.

Transparent thin films of pure and nickel-doped ZrO2 are grown successfully by sol-gel dip-coating technique. The structural and optical properties according to the different annealing temperatures (300 oC, 400 oC and 500 oC) are investigated. Analysis of crystallographic properties through X-ray diffraction pattern reveals an increase in crystallite size due to increase in crystallinity with temperature. All fabricated thin films are highly-oriented along (101) planes, which enhances the increase in nickel doping. Scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy are employed to confirm the homogeneity in surface morphology as well as the doping configuration of films. The extinction coefficient is found to be on the order of 102, showing the surface smoothness of deposited thin films. UV-visible spectroscopy reveals a decrease in the optical band gap with the increase in annealing temperature due to the increase in crystallite size. The variation in Urbach energy and defect density with doping and the change in annealing temperature are also studied.

Electroanalytical study for the rotating cylinder electrode in molten LiCl-KCl eutectic salt (58– 42mol%) containing MgCl2 (0.1wt%) at 600°C is conducted. The researches of rotating cylinder electrode have been widely conducted for the century. The advantage of the electrode is that it can mitigate the unintended natural convection by providing a controlled diffusion boundary layer thickness. However, the experimental data for the high temperature molten salts is barely existed. The study adopts the electrochemical techniques such as cyclic voltammetry for the static cell and linear sweep voltammetry for the dynamic cell to calculate the diffusion coefficient. The peak current density and limiting current density are measured according to the scan rate. In order to evaluate the mass transfer under hydrodynamic flow condition, the revolution speeds of cylindrical electrode are varied from 10 rpm to 500 rpm which are corresponded to the Reynolds number of 4 and 185 respectively. The flow regime covers from the laminar to semi-turbulent regime (transient) as the critical Reynolds number Recrit is 200. The limiting current density shows a linear trend with the revolution speed and agrees well with the existing mass transfer correlations. For the extended flow regime, a new mass transfer correlation is suggested as the relation of non-dimensional numbers (Sh = aRebScc) based on the dimensionless analysis.
