In order to calculate the Crop Water Stress Index (CWSI), it is necessary to collect weather data (air temperature, humidity, wind speed and solar radiation) and canopy temperature. However, it is not always available to have necessary data sets for CWSI calculation. Therefore, this study was aimed to develop an easy and simple CWSI equation (CWSI_EE) using only two data, air and canopy temperatures. Infrared sensors and weather sensors were installed on apple and peach trees and nearby a study area and every ten-minute data were collected from June to October in 2018 and 2019, respectively. A relationship between air-canopy temperature difference and CWSI was statistically analyzed and used to develop CWSI_EE using the three dimensional Gaussian model. The performance of CWSI_EE against original CWSI showed R² and NSE to 0.780 and 0.710 for apple trees and R² and NSE to 0.884 and 0.866 for peach trees. This study found that the level of crop water stress could be easily calculated using CWSI_EE with only air and canopy temperature data.

Agrivoltaic systems (AVS) is defined as combining farm-grown crops with photovoltaic panels (PV) installed several meters above the ground. Solar radiation (W/㎡), photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD, µmol/㎡/s), air temperature (℃), vapor pressure (kPa), soil moisture (㎥/㎥), soil temperature (℃), wind direction (˚), and wind speed (m/s) were measured under the AVS in Boseong-gun during winter barley season. Data was collected by 5 minute interval. All data can download at Github site (https://github.com/chojaeil/AVS_Boseung). To gap-filling missing solar radiation data during about two weeks, the conversion coefficient from solar radiation to PPFD was estimated as 0.41. Further, according to the ratio of diffuse radiation to direct radiation, the maximum value among the twenty PPFD sensors under the AVS was related to the PPFD value of filed.

1. Tomato variety used was Bogsu No. 2 and it was grown in field. Experiments were conducted in 1971 and 1972 to examine the changes of $CO_2$ product on in each growth-period and the contents of acid, sugar and vitamine C during storage. 2. By controlled atmospheric pressure the effects of respirationreduction in tomato fruits were the most effective at 660 Torr. part. 3. $CO_2$ production of tomato fruits harvested at each growth-period was differently changed at each growth-period and $CO_2$ production in tomato fruit at the same maturity from the plant showed Sigmoid type. 4. $CO_2$ production of tomato fruits harvested at the same ripeness score was in influenced by controlled atmospheric pressure during growth period and $CO_2$ production was reduced at SAP part compared with NAP part during the full growth-period. 5. The change of weight in tomato fruits was decreased in NAP part than in SAP part during storage and contents of acid, sugar, and vitamine C showed the same tendency.

This paper investigates Centering-based metrics to evaluate ordering of utterances for text structuring. We point out a problem of MIN.NOCB metric which has been regarded as the simplest and best measure to evaluate coherence of ordering within Centering framework, and propose a new Centering-based metric, MAX.CPS as an alternative or supplementary one. This paper introduces a framework which pre-estimates the effectiveness of a metric on a given input ordering, and selects an applicable metric according to the pre-estimation result. Using this framework, we propose a new policy which can generate more optimal ordering within Centering framework. Moreover, we evaluate several kinds of Cf-ranking methods in terms of Centering-based metrics, and find that simply ranking entities by their linear order is generally the most suitable because of characteristics in Korean.

Due to droughts and water shortages causing severe damage to crops and other vegetations, much attention has been given to efficient irrigation for upland farming. However, little information has been known to measure soil moisture levels in a field scale and apply their spatial variability for proper irrigation scheduling. This study aimed to characterize the spatial variability and temporal stability of soil water contents at depths of 10 cm, 20 cm and 30 cm on flat (loamy soil) and hill-slope fields (silt-loamy soil). Field monitoring of soil moisture contents was used for variogram analysis using GS+ software. Kriging produced from the structural parameters of variogram was applied for the means of spatial prediction. The overall results showed that the surface soil moisture presented a strong spatial dependence at the sampling time and space in the field scale. The coefficient variation (CV) of soil moisture was within 7.0~31.3 % in a flat field and 8.3~39.4 % in a hill-slope field, which was noticeable in the dry season rather than the rainy season. The drought assessment analysis showed that only one day (Dec. 21st) was determined as dry (20.4 % and 24.5 % for flat and hill-slope fields, respectively). In contrary to a hill-slope field where the full irrigation was necessary, the centralized irrigation scheme was appeared to be more effective for a flat field based on the spatial variability of soil moisture contents. The findings of this study clearly showed that the geostatistical analysis of soil moisture contents greatly contributes to proper irrigation scheduling for water-efficient irrigation with maximal crop productivity and environmental benefits.

Study on the effective cultivation method for earlier harvest of peony(Paeonia lactiflora Pall.), was carried out in Uiseong Medicinal Plant Experiment Station from 2001 to 2003. Sprouting time and flowering time in house cultivation were earlier than in field cultivation. Planting large crowns of $100{\sim}130g$ increased yield by 34%. The method that is 'Large crown($100{\sim}130g$) + dense planting + vinyl mulching for 2 years' resulted good growth and 54% yield increase. This method made it possible to harvest peony on the second year and reduce productive cost. The yield was decreased more or less in this method but yearly income was increased by 28%.

Shallot is a foreign crop introduced from France in 1995 as a new overwintering field crop with an aim to develop as an export crop. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of nitrogen fertilization level and time of supplementary nitrogen fertilization on growth and development of shallot, and to suggest to several problems raised during introductory trial cultivations. Optimum amount of nitrogen fertilization for bulb yield was 24 kg per 10 a. The best time of supplementary fertilization was February and March, with an equal amount in each month. The inorganic element composition of the harvested bulbs was not significantly affected by N fertilization level or by time of supplementary nitrogen fertilization.

This review focused carbon-free hydrogen productions from ammonia decomposition including inorganic membranes, catalysts and the presently studied reactor configurations. It also contains general information about hydrogen productions from hydrocarbons as hydrogen carriers. A Pd-based membrane (e.g. a porous ceramic or porous metallic support with a thin selective layer of Pd alloy) shows its efficiency to produce the high purity hydrogen. Ru-based catalysts consisted of Ru, support, and promoter are the efficient catalysts for ammonia decomposition. Packed bed membrane reactor (PBMR), Fluidized bed membrane reactor (FBMR), and membrane micro-reactor have been studied mainly for the optimization and the improvement of mass transfer limitation. Various types of reactors, which contain various combinations of hydrogen-selective membranes (i.e. Pd-based membranes) and catalysts (i.e. Ru-based catalysts) including catalytic membrane reactor, have been studied for carbon-free hydrogen production to achieve high ammonia conversion and high hydrogen flux and purity.

The wild type and two morphological variants of Streptomyces viridochromogenes were studied for their lipidand fatty acid compositions at different incubation temperatures. It showed that a decrease in triacylglycerol content was closely linked to the aerial mycelium formation. Phospholipids showed no characteristic changes, except that the contents of phosphatidylethanolamine were clearly high for aerial mycelium deficient strain BR2 grown at $20^{\circ}C$. The strain BR2 also presented unidentified aminolipids with various $R_{f}$ values. Among the aminolipids, ornithinolipid increased gradually during the cultivation for all strains. The changes in fatty acid compositions showed a temperature dependency that the proportion of unsaturated acids decreased as the growth temperature increased. The proportion of straight chain saturated fatty acids decreased as the aerial mycelium developed, and it was most evident for the mutant strain M13 with more extensive aerial mycelium. The mutant strain BR2 presented significantly higher level of iso branched odd numbered saturated fatty acids.
