An aeroponic seed potato production technology project has been established in Pakistan through the Technical Cooperation Project (TCP) between RDA-KOPIA and PARC. For sustainable potato production, producing high-quality and disease-free potato seeds is critical in Pakistan. The majority of the farmers recycle their own seeds or obtain them through informal ways. Consequently, tuber-borne illnesses proliferate, seeds deteriorate, and yield diminishes. To mitigate such problems, the country moved to sustainable seed potato production by adopting rapid seed multiplication strategies like the combination of tissue culturing with aeroponic seed production technology which is being evaluated as an alternative to traditional pre-basic seed production methods. A series of experiments were carried out to evaluate the shoot development and mini tuber production attributes between two cultivars, different plantlet size and planting period between October 27, 2021, and January 27, 2022, at the NARC aeroponic facility. A CRD design with three replications was used. The study aimed to compare the productivity by variety, plantlet size and planting period to improve aeroponic seed production technology in Pakistan. The results indicated that Lady Rosetta outperformed Asterix in terms of shoot growth and small tuber output. Early planting at an optimal temperature of 27 degrees Celsius in the daytime showed a substantial difference when compared to late planting in November and tuberization was commenced 50-55 days after transplantation. Furthermore, in an aeroponic seed potato production system, normal plantlets (8-10 cm) at the time of transplantation, performed better than medium and small plantlets. In a nutshell, it was determined that normal size plantlets (8-10 cm) of Lady Rosetta cultivar, planted at optimum time to plant showed best results in the aeroponic system at NARC, Islamabad, Pakistan.

2005년 7월 연구소기업 제도 시행 이후 연구소기업 설립이 빠르게 증가하면서 연구소기업은 공공기술사업화의 대표적인 모델이자 경로로 자리매김하게 되었다. 연구소기업의 양적 성장과 함께 공공기술사업화와 관련한 국가 정책, 기관 전략 등에 있어 연구소기업의 중요성도 증가하여 왔지만 지난 16년 간 연구소기업의 설립 및 성장은 시기별로 매우 다른 양상으로 진행되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 양적 팽창기라고 할 수 있을 정도로 연구소기업 설립 (등록)이 급격히 증가하기 시작한 2014년 전후의 비교를 중심으로 지난 16년 간 연구소기업의 변화를 비교·분석하였다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 2014년 이후 연구소기업의 급격한 증가 원인을 정책, 제도, 창업환경, 성장환경 변화로 나누어 다각적으로 분석하고, 양적 팽창기 이후 연구소기업 변화가 연구소기업 성과 및 성장에 미친 영향을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 양적 팽창기 초기에는 연구소기업 관련 정책 변화와 이에 따라 시행된 연구소 기업 발굴·기획 지원 사업 등이 연구소기업 증가의 주요 요인으로 나타났다. 또한 2016년 이후의 연구소기업 설립(등록)의 급격한 증가는 산학연협력 기술지주회사의 확대, 기술지주회사의 투자 여건 개선 등과 같은 연구소기업 창업 환경 변화의 영향이 큰 것으로 나타났으며, 2019년 이후에는 공익법인 등 연구소기업 설립 주체의 확대와 강소특구 지정 등 제도 변화가 연구소기업 설립 증가에 영향을 미친 주요 요인이었다. 또한 양적 팽창기를 전·후로 하여 연구소기업 성과 및 성장 특성의 변화를 분석한 결과 연구소기업 등록 시점과 연구소기업 자본금 규모는 등록 이후 3년 간의 평균 매출액에 통계적으로 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 2014년 이후 연구소기업의 급격한 증가와 함께 연구소기업의 중요 성이 커졌지만 한편으로는 양적 팽창기 이전과 비교하였을 때 연구소기업 특성에 변화가 있었으며, 규모별(소형, 중‧대형) 또는 성장 단계별 연구소기업 지원 체계 구축의 필요성이 더 커졌음을 보여준다.

유인 방법은 딸기 묘를 생산하는 전통적인 방법이다. 그러나 딸기 묘를 유인하여 번식하는 방법은 오랜 노동시간이 있어야 하는 노동 집약적인 방법이다. 삽목 방법은 상대적으로 유인 방법에 비해 노동 기간과 작업 시간이 짧으므로 유인의 효과적인 대안으로 주목되어왔다. 이 연구는 유인과 삽목 사이의 노동 기간, 작업 시간 및 묘의 생육을 조사하기 위해 수행되었다. ‘매향’ 딸기는 두 개 동의 딸기 육묘용 유인 온실과 삽 목 온실에서 각각 재배되었다. 유인 방법(유인 작업, 모주 제거, 자묘 간 분리) 및 삽목 방법(삽수 채묘, 저장 전 처리, 삽목 작업)에 대한 주요 작업 시간을 측정했으며, 유인은 158일 동 안 6개의 작업이 필요하며, 삽목은 113일 동안 4개의 작업이 필요했다. 유인은 삽목보다 작업 시간이 더 많이 필요했다. 유인과 삽목묘 육묘 방법에 따른 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 이러한 결과는 묘소질의 손실 없이 육묘 동안 유인 방법보다 삽목 방법이 더 많은 노동 기간과 작업 시간을 절약할 수 있음을 의미한다.

This study investigated the microbial community and quality characteristics of traditional soybean pastes (doenjang) based on the aging period in Gyeongnam province. The samples were collected from seven regions in Gyeongnam Province (Goseong, Hadong, Haman, Hamyang, Sacheon, Sancheong and Uiryeong). Contents of moisture, salinity, pH, and acidity of doenjang after 210 days aging were 56.40~65.21%, 9.05~16.08%, 4.88~6.86 and 0.64~2.14%, respectively. Lightness significantly decreased over the aging period, while the redness tended to increase over the aging period. Yellowness was from 21.39~26.81 to 21.10~28.36. Reducing sugar content was from 0.31~1.45% to 0.11~3.13%. The amino-type content increased from 141.87~495.13 mg/100 g to 328.53~823.67 mg/100 g. In contrast, the ammonia-type content declined from 136.74~364.70 mg/ 100 g to 128.62~331.00 mg/100 g. The overall total microbial count did not significantly differ, but it tended to decrease in sample GD4. Fungus declined overall or was not detected. Coliform groups were not detected in all samples. Lactobacillus and Bacillus cereus tended to decrease over the aging period. The common fungus and bacterium were Aspergillus oryzae and Tetragenococcus halophilus, respectively. After the aging period, the predominant fungi were Candida versatilis, Candida apicola, and Debaryomyces hansenii. The predominant bacteria were Tetragenococcus halophilus and Cronobacter sakazakii.

The main goal of the Green Building Council is to create a prosperous and sustainable future through cost control and energy saving. Some positive measures have been adopted by the Green Building Council to take the construction industry in order to promote sustainable cost control of the construction of a number of architectural practices. In order to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels in the future, sustainable development in the system of education in the construction of large-scale implementation. Green buildings are designed to reduce operating costs to reduce energy consumption, but some of the artical on green buildings consume more energy than non green buildings. In this paper, the construction cost and the construction period of the data is from the specific area of the 30 green building and 30 non green education construction. Statistical tests are used to determine whether there is a clear difference between the construction cost and the construction period. Test results show that the cost and duration of the green building are significantly higher than those of the non green building. The findings are helpful to further research on the life cycle of the building.

We investigated pollination and foraging activities of honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) and bumblebee (Bombus terrestris L.) during flowering season of the asian pear (Pyrus pyrifolia N.) under different weather conditions. There was no significant statistical difference about the pollination activities of two species. However, the pollination activities of bumblebee were more active than those of honeybee under low temperature and rainfall period. The activities of honeybee and bumblebee were more influenced by temperature than other factors (i.e. illumination and wind velocity). Honeybee was more sensitive to temperature and illumination than bumblebee. At low temperatures (<20℃) on cloudy days (<30,000 lux) with a certain wind velocity (>4.0 m/s), the pollination activity of the honeybee was lower twice than that of bumblebee.

There were two books on astronomy published in 1908. One is 『Astronomy (天文學)』 written by Jeong, Yeong-Taek (鄭永澤, 1874 ∼ 1948), an educator. The other is 『Introduction to Astronomy (텬문략히)』 written by William Martyn Baird (裵偉良, 1862 ∼ 1931), an American missionary. It was known that these two books were translated into Korean as astronomical textbooks of the Korean Empire. We investigated the life of translators, the motivation of writing textbook, and the translators’ specialty in astronomy. We also compared the two books in terms of content, orthography of terminology, scale of units, and so forth. We suggest that these books were really utilized as textbooks of astronomy in the modern school in the early 20th century in Korea. We also conclude that in astronomy education these two textbooks bridged the gap between the traditional Chinese astronomy of the middle age and modern astronomy from the West.

The purpose of this study was to compare gait patterns during pregnancy. Because of the changes in hormone levels and anatomical changes such as body mass, body-mass distribution, joint laxity, and musculotendinous strength that result from pregnancy, it

In this study we attempted to analyze the change of protein and mycelial activity during low temperature storage progressed. At first, esterase and peroxidase isozymes were detected at third and fourth subculture in Pleurotus ostreatus and peroxidase isozymes in Pleurotus eryngii were detected at first and second subculture but esterase isozymes showed almost same band patterns subculture advanced. The decolorization ratio of media color including indicator were decreased according to subculture advanced in P. ostreatus and P. eryngii. However there were not significantly difference of mycelial growth, fruit body yield, esterase isozyme band pattern and laccase activity of P. eryngii according to storage periods at low temperature. Therefore, it was possible to store sawdust spawn of P. eryngii at 4℃ for 120days.

This paper is concerned with the natural periods of ambient vibration and eigenvalue analysis. Ambient vibration tests were conducted to four bearing-wall reinforced concrete buildings ranging from twelve to nineteen stories. The performance of modeling in eigenvalue analysis was investigated using consideration of rigidity out of the plane in the slab and the non-structural bearing wall. Measured natural period was also compared with the value by the KBC2005. Natural period of the short direction in eigenvalue analysis is well fitted with the measured one. In the other hand, Natural period of the long direction in eigenvalue analysis is slightly more overestimated than the measured one. Natural period of the long direction in eigenvalue analysis was found to be enhanced by considering the effect of the stiffness out of the plane of the slab and non-structural wall in the structural modeling.

sources of flavonoid, including quercetin, rutin and catechin. The flavonoid content of Tartary buckwheat is 9 - 300 times higher than the common buckwheat. The objective of this study was to compare phenolic compound content and antioxidant activity of tatary buckwheat and common buckwheat in different plant parts. Methods and Results : Total polyphenol, flavonoid contents and DPPH free radical scavenging activity was measured in seed, stem and leaf of tatary buckwheat followed by cultivation period. Total polyphenol content was higher in tatary buckwheat compared to common buckwheat. Total polyphenol contents was 347.33 ㎍/㎖ in tatary buckwheat seed extract and 57.24 ㎍/㎖ in common buckwheat stem (2 month). Total flavonoid content was also higher in tatary buckwheat than common buckwheat. Total flavonoid contents of tatary buckwheat seed extract was 45.68 ㎍/㎖, where as common buckwheat seed content 21.29 ㎍/㎖. DPPH free radical scavenging activity was higher in tatary buckwheat than common buckwheat. DPPH free radical scavenging activity was 85.76% in tatary buckwheat leaf (2 month) and 54.44% was in common buckwheat stem (2 month). Conclusion : This study indicates that polyphenol contents of tatary buckwheat extract depend on their part and the chronology is the seed> leaf > stem. Total polyphenol and flavonoid contents of leaf and stem is in inverse proportion to cultivation period. But, DPPH free radical scavenging activity make no difference according to plant cultivation age.

In order to solve the problem of natural aggregate exhaustion, several types of industrial waste have been studied for recycling of construction materials. In general, steel slag has been used as aggregate in concrete, however, steel slag has a problem of causing volume expansion by F-CaO. Therefore, in this study, the expansion properties are compared with aging period to solve the problem of the steel slag expansion. According to the test results, the expansion of the steel slag decreased regardless of the types of steel slag during aging period. And, the Electronic Arc Furnace Oxidizing Slag(EAF) had the better reduction in expanding than the Converter Slag(CS).

FDI in China begins in 1979 with China's reform and opening-up, which has brought China a great progress in the economic development up to now. For the sake of attracting FDI to China, Chinese government has built several special economic zones around coastal areas and the scale of FDI in China has been greeting its prosperous time since China's entry into WTO in 2001. In 2002, China firstly surpassed the USA and ranked as the first in the world with 52.7 billion dollars of annual FDI. More recently, the actual FDI in 2012 in China was 111.7 billion dollars, making a great contribution to China's economic development. With the guidance of government, most of the FDI focused on the coastal areas in east of China during the past 30 years. However, in order to reduce the regional differences, narrow the wealth gap, the FDI in major eastern cities and coastal areas has been gradually transferred to the central and western regions of China. This study makes a positive analysis on the determining factors of FDI site selection in China, according to the data provided by 29 provinces in the past 28 years. This analysis focuses on all the east, central and west regions of China. The results of regression analysis indicate that: 1. In a national scope, the FDI in China is proportional to the GRDP and export, but inversely proportional to salaries and students percentage.2. In the eastern, central and western local scope, the FDI in this three regions is all proportional to the GRDP and the percentage of secondary industry, but inversely proportional to salaries and students percentage. Additionally, the FDI is proportional to the export in east of China, while that is not obvious in central and western regions.3. The study on the three-region interactions shows that the FDI in three regions are proportional and the closer the locations are, the deeper the influence is. Therefore, the conclusion is that relationship of the three regions is not competitive but mutually promotive.
