Skin anti-wrinkle activities of the stems and leaves of Abeliophyllum distichum Nakai were evaluated by theextracts obtained from various extraction processes such as using hot water at 100oC, 70% ethanol at 85oC, and 70% etha-nol with ultrasonication at 60oC The ultrasonicated extract showed 95.62% of the highest cell viability in addition of0.3㎎/㎖ of the extracts into the normal human fibroblast cell, CCD-986sk. For antioxidant activities, the extracts usingultrasonicated extract showed the highest DPPH free radical scavenging as 80.27%, followed by 75.88% and 62.44% for theextracts using ethanol extract and water extract. The ultrasonicated extract also showed the highest elastase inhibition activ-ity as 25.32%, compared to ethanol extract and water extract based method at 22.01% and 12.88%, respectively. MMP-1production was most effectively decreased down to 2908.1pg/㎖ with ultrasonicated extract while 6640.8pg/㎖ with waterextract and 3609.3pg/㎖ with ethanol extract, in addition of 0.3㎎/㎖. Collagen production was increased up to 154.7ng/㎖in addition of ultrasonicated extract, and followed by 121.4ng/㎖ and 31.2ng/㎖ for ethanol extract and water extract,respectively. These results indicate that the ethanol extract should have skin anti-wrinkling activities and can be improvedby the ultrasonication process that high energy input elute more amounts of bioactive substances eluting more amounts ofbioactive substances from the high energy input of ultrasonication.

Carbon dioxide has steadily increased in atmosphere since the industrial revolution, and it is the main cause of the global warming. In this study, carbon dioxide is stored in the form of insoluble calcium carbonate through indirect carbonation using paper sludge ash (PSA) as a raw material and acids (acetic acid and hydrochloric acid) as solvents. Acid is very efficient to extract calcium from PSA, which is as high as 55%. However, since the pH of calcium extractant obtained using acid is as low as 6 and carbon dioxide is not present in the form of CO32- at the low pH, carbonation reaction does not occur to form calcium carbonate. Sodium hydroxide, therefore, is added into the calcium extractant to increase pH up to 13. The amount of sodium hydroxide is calculated based on the equivalent of calcium in the extractant. Then, carbon dioxide is injected into the calcium extractant for 30 minutes at a flow rate of 0.05 L/min. The calcium extractant is prepared in advance using 40 g of PSA and 1L of 0.7 M acid, and 35mL of 50% sodium hydroxide is added into the extractant to adjust pH. During carbonation, liquid samples are taken at designated intervals to measure pH and calcium concentration. After the carbonation is completed, white solids are collected to dry at 105℃ for 12 hours, which weigh 30.0 g and 33.1 g from the extractants using acetic acid and hydrochloric acid, respectively. The white solids are found to be highly pure calcite by XRD analysis. Based on the solid mass, the amounts of carbon dioxide sequestrated in PSA are calculated to be 330.4 kg CO2/ton PSA and 363.7 kg CO2/ton PSA using acetic acid and hydrochloric acid as solvents, respectively.

In the mountain streams in Jeju Island, strong turbulence and roughness usually made it nearly impossible to utilize most of intrusive instrumentation for streamflow discharge measurements. Instead, a non-intrusive fixed electro-magnetic wave surface velocimetry (fixed EWSV: Kalesto) became alternatively popular in many representative streams to measure stream discharge seamlessly. Currently, Kalesto has shown noteworthy performance with little loss in flood discharge measurements and also has successfully provided discharge for every minute. However, Kalesto has been operated to regard its measured one-point velocity as the representative mean velocity for the given cross-section. Therefore, it could be highly possible to potentially encompass discharge measurements errors. In this study, we analyzed the difference between such Kalesto discharge measurements and other alternative concurrent discharge measurements such as Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) and mobile EWSV which were able to measure velocity in multi-points in the cross-section. Consequently, Kalesto discharge deviated from ADCP discharge in amount of 48% for relatively low flow, and more than 20% difference for high flow compared with mobile EWSV discharge measurements. These results indicated that the one-point velocity measured by Kalesto should be used as a cross-sectional mean velocity, rather it should be accounted for as an index-velocity in conjunction with directly measured cross-sectional mean velocity by using more reliable instrumentations. After inducing Kalesto Discharge Correction Coefficient (KDCC) that actually means relationship between index velocity and cross-sectional mean velocity, the corrected discharge from Kalesto was significantly improved. Therefore, we found that index velocity method should be applied to obtain better accuracy of discharge measurement in case of Kalesto operation.

This study was indicated to enhance the anti-inflammation activities by the fermentation of the fruits of Aronia melanocarpa (Michx.) Elliott. The extracts by 70% ethanol (EE) showed better biological activities than those by hot water (WE) from campared result of the effect of extraction solvents. Then, the extract from 70% ethanol extraction was further fermented by lactic acid, denoted as FEE. For antioxidant activities, the FEE had showed the highest value as 0.832 of reducing powder, in comparison with those of EE and WE. Cytotoxicity of the water extraction (WE) was measured for 12.06% in addition of 1.0mg/mℓ of FEE. For anti-inflammation activities, NO production from the macrophage, RAW 264.7 was observed as 7.24μM and 8.52μM from FEE and EE, respectively. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production from human fibroblast cell, CCD-986sk, was also estimated for 152pg/mℓ in addition of 1.0mg/mℓ of the FEE. The lowest production of both IL-6 and TNF-α were 3.5pg/mℓ and 865.5pg/mℓ, respectively in addition of 1.0mg/mℓ of the FEE, whereas 74.5pg/mℓ and 982.4pg/mℓ in treated with same concenrations of the EE. It was also found that the FEE was higher amounts than other extracts through HPLC analysis of the anthocyanins. These results strongly indicate that fermentation process of the lactic acid could enhance anti-inflammation activities of extracts by increasing the amounts of the anthocyanins, especially cyanidin-galactoside. Our results suggest that the application of the fermentation process for other medicinal herbs can be improved their biological activities.

The global population increase causes various problems as food and energy shortage and environmental change. As for food problem, innovative agricultural system is required to double food production for 10 billion people in the mid of this century. We introduced the genome or chromosomes of related wild species to the common wheat by interspecific crosses and evaluated their characters. Some alien chromosome addition wheat lines showed better bread-making quality, kernel mineral contents, or phosphorus-use efficiency. The lines with a chromosome of Leymus were found to secrete a substance to inhibit nitrification, which may increase nitrogen-use efficiency. In addition, we produced multiple synthetic derivative (MSD) populations in the genetic background of several practical cultivars. The morphology of each plant in the population was similar to that of the common wheat variety and relatively regular with each other, which enabled to find QTLs to elucidate tolerance of abiotic stresses. We are cultivating these lines in the North African countries and evaluating.

This study was performed to enhance contents of low molecular ginsenoside using steaming and fermentationprocess in low quality fresh ginseng. For increase in contents of Rg2, Rg3, Rh2 and CK in low quality fresh ginseng, a steam-ing process was applied at 90℃ for 12hr which was followed by fermentation process at Lactobacillus rhamnosus HK-9incubated at 36℃ for 72h. The contents of ginsenoside Rg1, Rb1, Rc, Re and Rd were decreased with the steaming associ-ated with fermentation process but ginsenoside Rg2, Rg3, Rh2 and CK increased after process. It was found that under thesteaming associated with fermentation process, low molecule ginsenosides such as Rg2, Rg3, Rh2 and CK were increased as3.231㎎/g, 2.585㎎/g and 1.955m/g and 2.478㎎/g, respectively. In addition, concentration of benzo[α]pyrene in extracts ofthe low quality fresh ginseng treated by the complex process was 0.11ppm but it was 0.22ppm when it was treated with thesteaming process. This result could be caused by that the most efficiently breakdown of 1,2-glucoside and 1,4-glucoside link-age to backbone of ginsenosides by steaming associated with fermentation process. This results indicate that steaming pro-cess and fermenration process can increase in contents of Rg2, Rg3, Rh2 and CK in low quality fresh ginseng.

마이크로웨이브 가열에 의하여 선택적으로 상변환을 일으키는 Au를 함유하는 황화광물을 조사하기 위하여 현미경과 SEM-EDS 분석을 수행하였으며 그리고 이에 따른 최대 Au 용출인자를 결정하기 위하여 티오시안산염 용출실험을 수행하였다. 비-가시성 Au를 함유하는 황화광물을 마이크로웨이브에 노출시킨 결과, 노출시간이 증가할수록 온도와 무게감소가 증가하였다. 이 황화광물 중 마이크로웨이브 가열에 가장 빠르게 선택적으로 상변환 된 광물은 황비철석이었다. 황비철석이 적철석으로 상변환되었으며, 상변환은 동심원적과 가장자리구조로 형성되었다. 또한 상변환 된 부분에서 O와 C가 검출되었으며, 일정하게 Fe 함량은 높게 그리고 As 함량은 낮게 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과는 마이크로웨이브 가열에 의한 arcing과 산화작용이 일어났기 때문이다. 마이크로웨이브에 35분 노출시킨 시료를 티오시안산염 용출실험에 적용하여 Au가 최대로 용출되는 조건은 0.5 g의 티오시안산나트륨 농도, 2.0 M의 염산 농도, 0.3 M의 황산구리 농도 그리고 용출온도 60℃에서였다. 최대 Au 용출 조건을 마이크로웨이브 처리 시료에 적용했을 때 Au 용출률이 59%에서 96.96%로 나타났지만 마이크로웨이브에 처리하지 않은 시료에서는 겨우 24.53%에서 92%로 나타났다.
