This study was conducted to evaluate the polishing process that affects the polishing properties and cooking qualities of cut-polished barley. Naked barley, Youngsanbori (Sedohadaka), which was produced in Cheonnam province, Korea in 1981, was cut and polished to have the polished yield per cent of four grades, 68.27, 72.85, 75.51 and 78.70, in contrast to the conventionally polished barley which was polished up to 70.10 per cent. Length. thickness and width of the kernels and weight of 1,000 kernels of the cut-polished barley were increased with improving the grade of the polishing yield. Energy consumption was found to be reduced according to increasing the polishing yield of the cut-polished barley. As polishing yield of the cut-polished barley were increased. the contents of P$_2$O$\_$5/, K$_2$O, MgO and Mn were increased. Also whiteness, water uptake and expanding volume of cooked barley were increased in accordance with upgrading the polishing yield of the cut-polished barley.

Protease is a widely used enzyme particularly in the detergent industry. In this research, we aimed to isolate alkaline protease-producing bacteria for characterization as a laundry detergent additive. The screening of alkaline protease production was investigated on basal medium agar plus 1% skim milk at pH 11, with incubation at 30℃. The highest alkaline protease-producing bacterium was 6BS15-4 strain, identified as Bacillus gibsonii by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. While the optimum pH was 12.0, the strain was stable at pH range 7.0-12.0 when incubated at 45℃ for 60 min. The alkaline protease produced by B. gibsonii 6BS15-4 using dairy effluent was characterized. The optimum temperature was 60℃ and the enzyme was stable at 55℃ when incubated at pH 11.0 for 60 min. Metal ions K⁺, Mg²⁺, Cu²⁺, Na⁺, and Zn²⁺ exhibited a slightly stimulatory effect on enzyme activity. The enzyme retained over 80% of its activity in the presence of Ca²⁺, Ba²⁺, and Mn²⁺. Thiol reagent and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid did not inhibit the enzyme activity, whereas phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride significantly inhibited the protease activity. The alkaline protease from B. gibsonii 6BS15-4 demonstrated efficiency in blood stain removal and could therefore be used as a detergent additive, with potential for various other industrial applications.

청정에너지원의 수요가 증가함에 따라 에너지원의 공급로의 역할을 하는 강관의 수요가 증가하고 있다. 소재가공 기술의 발전과 함께 경량의 고장력 강재의 적용은 공급로의 역할을 하는 강관의 비용절감 및 자원의 효율적 이용 측면에서 지속적으로 연구 개발을 이어왔다. 이러한 추세에 따라 구조용 또는 라인파이프용 강관에서도 고장력 강재의 적용과 함께 고인성 그리고 용접성의 향상을 위한 다양한 라인파이프용 강재의 개발과 이의 적용이 그간 활발히 진행되어왔다. 용도상 반드시 필요한 특성인 고장력, 고인성, 용접성 등 외에도 다양한 강재의 사용에 따른 제조공정상 즉 용접공정에서 발생될 수 있는 용접부의 기계적 특성 변화에 대한 특성 연구 및 기술 연구가 계속 되어왔다. 주로 강관을 생산하는데 쓰이는 ERW (Electric Resistance Welding) 공정에서도 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. ERW는 높은 생산성과 낮은 제조비용의 장점을 가지고 있으나 용접 후 용접부의 기계적 특성 감소로 인한 단점이 있다. 때문에 기계적 특성향상을 위해 최적의 용접조건에 대해 연구해야 할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 4가지 합금강관의 ERW 용접시 용접 입열량의 변화와 용접부의 후열처리를 통한 미세조직의 변화와 기계적 특성에 대해서 고찰하였다. 4강종 시편의 미세조직을 OM, SEM을 통한 분석 이후 인장시험 및 경도시험 등을 통해 기계적 특성을 평가하였다. 대부분의 시편에서 입열량의 증가에 따라 Ferrite 분율이 증가하였고 용접중앙부의 Ferrite 양이 용접경계부 보다 많았다. Ferrite 집중부의 분포가 극명하게 관찰되었던 DP780 (적정) 강종과 미세하게나마 Ferrite 집중부가 존재하였던 K55 (과소, 과대) 강종에서 나란히 경도 하락 현상이 관찰되었다. 이는 강종마다 고유의 Ceq, 합금 중 Mn 농도, 입열량 등에 의한 복합적인 이유 때문으로 판단된다. 탄소가 0.3~0.4 wt% 함유된 중탄소강인 S45C, K55의 경우 용접중앙부와 용접경계부의 페라이트 분율 차이가 큰 것을 알 수 있었다. 이는 용접시 열에 의한 탈탄현상으로 인해 나타나는 현상으로 판단된다.

Although the Dongjin Au-Ag-Cu mine had been abandoned since about forty years ago, the results of this study on the dispersion patterns and contamination level of heavy metals in the hydrologic system flowing via the waste rump show that the environmental impacts from the mine wastes are still significant. The stream water in the vicinity of the waste rump is severely acidified (pH 3.8 to 4.4) and highly enriched in various dissolved heavy metals. The heavy metal contents of the stream water and stream sediments are systematically attenuated with increasing distance from the mine area. However, it is worth to note that continuous attenuation of heavy metal contents in both media were reenriched in downstream area more than 800 m apart from the mine because it can be acted as a secondary source of heavy metal pollution. The heavy metals, especially Cd, Cu and Zn of polluted downstream sediments mainly occur in Fe-Mn oxides and organic materials, which indicates that these elements are the main pollutants from the waste rump of the Dongjin mine. The heavy metal contents of crops, such as sesame, perilla, red Pepper and brown rice, collected from the polluted farm land in the downstream area are lower than those of land plants from stream sides, but significantly higher in Cd, Cr, Cu and Zn than those from the unpolluted farm land. Especially, almost all of the crops in polluted farm land have been severly contaminated by Cd (>0.4 ppm). On the other hand, the heavy metal contents of the crops collected from refreshed farm land by means of a soil addition method shows significantly lowered level comparing with those of polluted area, which indicates that a soil addition method was effective for the refreshment of polluted farm land by toxic metallic pollutants. Wormwoods from this area showed very high contents in a11 the heavy metals even in unpolluted area (Cd > 1 ppm, Cr > 1 ppm, Cu > 11 ppm, Pb> 4 ppm, Zn > 55 ppm), indicating that a special caution must be payed when one takes ingest them.

This study was conducted to investigate the combined effects of oyster shell, fly ash and gypsum on rice yield and quality. The four treatments of soil amelioration were oyster shell 4, fly ash 80, fly ash 56 + gypsum 24 and oyster shell 0.8 + fly ash 40 + gypsum 24 ton/ha. Rice yield were in the order of oyster shell, fly ash and control plats. The pH, EC values and OM, Ca, $SO_4$, moisture contents of the top-soil after rice harvesting in soil amelioration treatments were increased, while Mg, Na, Fe, Zn and Al were decreased than those of control. Rice quality was the best in the fly ash plat due to lower T-N and higher Mg/K ratio.

This study was performed to investigate change in chemical composition of Acer mono saps collected in Hamyang, Inje, Namyangju and Yeongwol depending on storing period. pH of A. mono sap was in the range of 4.43~5.68, and it was decreased rapidly with the increase of storing period. A. mono sap collected in Yeongwol in Feb. 22 contained 2.06% sucrose. Degradation of sucrose was occurred when storing period was extended, and it caused production of organic acid like pyruvic acid, lactic acid, acetic acid and ethanol. Detected minerals in A. mono sap were K, Ca, Na, Mg, P, Si, Al, Mn, Fe, Cu and Zn, however, K and Ca content reached 93%. A. mono sap collected in Inje in Mar. 03 contained 131.72 mg/${\ell}$, which was especially high K content among the A. mono sap. 1.55~3.50 mg/${\ell}$ of Ascorbic acid was found in the A. mono sap. Sap collected in early date was less degraded.
