Pine wilt disease (PWD) induced by the pinewood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, is a great threat to pine forests in Europe and East Asia. Identification of interrelation between Monochamus spp., the major vectors of PWD and PWN is the key factor for effective control of PWD because PWN is trasmitted to healthy pine trees only by Monochamus vectors. In this study, direct injection system is designed to apply PWN artificially to M. alternatus just before emergence to adults. After injection of PWN (300~500 nematodes in 10 μl of 1X PBS) using adapted glass pipets, the survival rate of M. alternatus and detection rate of live PWN were 80.0% and 68.8% at 168 h respectively. As a result, we demonstrated the artificial injection methods of nematode to Monochamus vectors for further study of coeffect between vectors and specific stage of PWN including 3rd stage dispersal juvenile.

PURPOSES: The purpose of this study was to develop an urgent road-repair system and perform a field applicability test, as well as discover the optimum mix design for machine applications compared to the optimum mix design for lab applications. METHODS: According to reviews of the patent and developed equipment, self-propelled and mix-in-place equipment types are suitable for urgent pavement repair, e.g., potholes and cracks. The machine-application mix design was revised based on the optimum lab-test mix design, and the field application of a spray-injection system was performed on the job site. The mixture from the machine application and lab application was subjected to a wet-track abrasion test and a wheel-tracking test to calibrate the machine application. RESULTS and CONCLUSIONS : This study showed that the binder content could differ for the lab application and the machine application in the same setting. Based on the wet-track abrasion test result, the binder contents of the machine application exceeded the binder contents of the lab application by 1-1.5% on the same setting value. Moreover, the maximum dynamic stability value for the machine application showed 1% lower binder contents than the maximum lab-application value. Collectively, the results of the two different tests showed that the different sizes and operating methods of the machine and lab applications could affect the mix designs. Further studies will be performed to verify the bonding strength and monitor the field application.

With the concerns of global climate change, the significant changes in rainfall patterns have aggravated the occurrence of pollutants from agricultural uplands. Heavy and intensive rainfalls have rinsed a variety of pollutants off the land, sending them into the neighboring water environments which further causes water pollution problems. Recently, the application of PAM(Polyacrylamide) in agricultural lands has gotten much attention for soil conditioning. Therefore, this study aimed to develop the automatic control system applying the chemical flocculant, liquid PAM in order to flocculate the suspended solids and deposit at the bottom of farmland water channel, so eventually minimize the amount of non-point pollutants discharged into receiving water. The optimum feed rate for liquid PAM was calculated through the experiment in artificial water channel and applied to the control system. As the results of the performance test of the automatic turbid water control system installed in the sloped field, the range of turbidity reduction rate was 25 to 33% with the average turbidity of 292 to 498 NTU in water channel.

Effluent treated by an NaDCC injection method in Ballast water management system (BWMS) contains reactive chlorine species and disinfection by-products (DBPs). In this study, we conducted whole effluent toxicity (WET) testing and ecological risk assessment (ERA) to investigate its ecotoxicological effects on marine environment. WET testing was carried out for four marine pelagic and freshwater organisms, i.e., diatom Skeletonema costatum, Navicula pellicuosa, chlorophyta Dunaliella tertiolecta, Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, rotifer Brachionus plicatilis, Brachionus calyciflorus and fish Cyprinodon variegatus, Pimephales promelas. The biological toxicity test revealed that algae was the only biota that showed apparent toxicity to the effluent; it showed no observed effect concentration (NOEC), lowest observable effect concentration (LOEC) and effect concentration of 50% (EC50) values of 25-50%, 50-100% and >100%, respectively, at three water condition, but did not show any significant toxicities on other biota. Meanwhile, chemical analysis revealed that the BWMS effluent contained total residual oxidants (TROs) below 0.03 g/L and a total of 25 DBPs such as bromate, volatile halogenated organic μ compounds (VOCs), halogenated acetonitriles (HANs), halogenated acetic acids (HAAs), chloropicrin and Isocyanuric acid. Based on ERA, the 25 DBPs were not considered to have persistency, bioaccumulation and toxicity (PBT) properties. The ratio of predicted environmental concentration (PEC) to predicted no effect concentration (PNEC) of the other DBPs did not exceed 1 for General harbor environment. However, four substances (Isocyanuric acid, Tribromomethane, Chloropicrin and Monochloroacetic acid) were exceed 1 for Nearship environment. But observed toxicity in the test water on algal growth inhibition would be mitigated by normal dilution factor of 5 applied for nearship exposure. Thus, our results of WET testing and ERA showed that the BWMS effluent treated by NaDCC injection method would have no adverse impacts on marine environment.

Nationally, flatfish vaccination has been performed manually, and is a laborious and time-consuming procedure with low accuracy. The handling requirement also makes it prone to contamination. With a view to eliminating these drawbacks, we designed an automatic vaccine system in which the injection is delivered by a Cartesian coordinate robot guided by a vision system. The automatic vaccine injection system is driven by an injection site location algorithm that uses a template-matching technique. The proposed algorithm was designed to derive the time and possible angles of injection by comparing a search area with a template. The algorithm is able to vaccinate various sizes of flatfish, even when they are loaded at different angles. We validated the performance of the proposed algorithm by analyzing the injection error under randomly generated loading angles. The proposed algorithm allowed an injection rate of 2000 per hour on average. Vaccination of flatfish with a body length of up to 500mm was possible, even when the orientation of the fish was random. The injection errors in various sizes of flatfish were very small, ranging from 0 to 0.6mm.
