$N(^{15}N)$ and $P(^{32}P)$ absorption by 2 year-old Cymbidium Jungfrau in solution culture were investigated. Growth, photosynthesis rate, chlorophyll content and mineral composition of Cymbidium in the solution culture with bark or granular rockwool were compared with these parameters in the conventional pot culture. Nitrogen absorption by Cymbidium was higher in full sunlight than in 60% of sunlight while P absorption was higher in 60% of sunlight. Sixty seven % of N absorbed in plant was redistributed to the bulb(39%) and leaves(28%) while 46% of P absorbed was fund in the bulb (36.2%) and leaves (10.2%). Accumulation of P in leaves was 3-fold lower than that of N. N and P absorption in 0.5 or 1 year- old daughter plant Bowing vigorously were greater than in immature daughter or mother plant. The absorption rate of phosphorus in Cymbidium was 350-fold lower than that of barley. Greater shoot length and bulb diameter, and higher fresh weight, photosynthesis rate and chloroployll content were observed in the solution culture than in the conventional pot culture. Solution culture had-also more content of N, P, K and Mg in leaves, bulb and root than conventional pot culture but did not that of Ca. A large part of the nutrient absorption was occurred during vegetative growth. Also, There was no difference between bark and rockwool in the solution culture due to the improvement of poor dispersion of nutrient solution in bark.

This experiment was conducted to estimate seasonal changes in the properties and chemical components of xylem sap from 'Hayward' (Actinidia chinensis Planch) and wild kiwifruit species (Actinidia aguta Sieb. et Zucc. Planch) in 1996 and 1997. Amount of bleeding sap from kiwifruit vines considerably decreased with collection time in both species. There was no difference in water content, soluble solid content, viscosity, and pH of the sap between 'Hayward' and wild species, while turbidity and organic acid contents were much higher in 'Hayward'. Fructose content was highest among free sugars, followed by glucose, sucrose, galactose and manitol in 'Hayward', but only low concentration of fructose and glucose was detected in wild species. The major inorganic components in the sap were calcium, potassium, and magnesium, and calcium was dominant among them. The saps of 'Hayward' and wild species were composed of 17 kinds of amino acids respectively, and major amino acids were glutamic acid, lysine, and isoleucine. Glutamic acid content was highest in both species and except histidine, contents of methionine and tyrosine were much higher in 'Hayward' than wild species. Concentrations of inorganic elements and amino acids were slightly increased with delaying collection time, but sugar contents decreased.

In this study, we synthesize novel silane based inorganics for preparation of the polymer electrolyte membrane with high proton conductivity under high temperature condition and developed membranes are characterized. SPAES, hydrocarbon based polymer are synthesized and used as main polymeric material. We used sol-gel method to prepare inorganic material with high performance using silica, phosphate and zirconium. Three types of inorganics were prepared by control of the mole ration of each component. As a result of EDX analysis, the inorganic materials are well dispersed in the polymer membrane. The water uptake of the composite membrane is increased by introduction of the hydrophilic inorganic material in the membrane. When the content of the zirconium in the membrane is increased, the proton conductivity of the composite membrane shows the higher value than pure SPAES membrane at the high temperature. And the silica based inorganics effect to increase the proton conductivity under low temperature condition.

The thermal expansion coefficient of epoxy/inorganic additives composites was controlled by changing the amount of the inorganic additives such as talc and fused silica. The epoxy resin comprises hydrogenated bisphenol A (HBA)-based epoxide, difunctional polyglycidyl epoxide (DPE) as a diluent and isophorone-diamine (IPDA) as a crosslinking agent, which was subsequently mixed with inorganic additives (talc and fused silica). The thermal expansion coefficient was decreased by increasing amount of inorganic additives, nearly to fresh granite. Fused silica was more effective than talc in lowering the thermal expansion coefficient. Additionally, lexural and tensile strengths of the composites were getting lower and higher with the amount of the inorganic fillers, respectively. It was thus concluded that an epoxy composite containing inorganic fillers was developed to show much lower thermal expansion coefficient, similar to fresh granite, than the neat epoxy resin, and also proper mechanical strengths for applications.
