The anatomical characteristics, green moisture content, inorganic element concentration, and black heartwood percentage were compared between the Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) planted in a general mountain forest and in a windbreak forest for a mandarin orange field in Jeju island. The results obtained were as follows: 1. Black heartwood percentage was found to be much higher in the trees of windbreak forest than in those of general mountain forest. 2. Green moisture content of wood appeared to increase with the color change of heartwood from reddish brown to black. 3. Inorganic elements of $K_2O$ and CaO in the ray cells of black heartwood were thought to be one of the important factors for black heartwood formation. 4. Wood specific gravity and strength properties were comparatively lower in the trees of Jeju island than in those of southern part of the Korean peninsula. These properties, however, were found to be not significantly different between the trees of windbreak forest and general mountain forest in Jeju island.

종래의 위보기 자세에서 용접은 중력이 모재의 표면으로 향하고 있어 용융금속이 중력에 의해 표면방향으로 흘러내리게 되어 용접 실시가 불가능하였다. 이에 Shield Gas Force, Trailing Gas Force 그리고 Ahead Gas Force를 적절히 적용하여 Position Welding에서 중력으로 인해 Molten Metal이 처지는 문제를 극복하여 생산성 향상으로 연결할 수 있음을 선행 실험을 통해 확인하였으나 기존의 C(Convergent)형, CP(Convergent Divergent)형 및 P(Parrallel)형 가스 노즐은 용접조건에 따라 실드 가스의 소모량이 많고, 토출되는 실드가스력이 부족하여 용접시 볼록한 이면 비드 형성을 위한 용융 풀을 효과적으로 제어 할 수 없다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 동일량의 실드 가스 공급시 가스 노즐을 통해 토출되는 실드가스의 소모를 줄이고 실드가스력을 극대화하여 저가의 고생산성을 가진 친 환경 용접기술(Green welding)에 부합하는 CDP(Convergent Divergent Parrallel)형 가스 노즐을 제작하여 기존의 CP형 가스 노즐과 비교 분석하였다. 또한 Overhead Position에서의 비드형상제어와 Flat Position에서 방풍효과를 비교해 보았다. 그 결과 CDP Nozzle은 CP Nozzle보다 동일한 유량에서 풍속은 3.5배, 냉각능력은 1.5배, 가스압력은 6.25배로 우수한 성능을 확인할 수 있었고, Overhead Position에서 가스 유량을 동일하게 하여 용접하였을 때 CP Nozzle의 경우 오목한 이면비드가 나타났지만 CDP Nozzle의 경우 볼록하게 양호한 이면비드 형상이 나타났고, Flat Position에서의 방풍효과 비교실험에서 CDP Nozzle에서는 깊고 균일한 용입을 CP Nozzle에서는 불안정한 용입이 나타났는데 이는 CDP Nozzle의 경우 풍속에 의한 Arc Blow가 적게 발생하여 상대적으로 더 나은 용입을 확인하였다.

BACKGROUND: Plant factory system of an artificial light type using Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs), fluorescent light, or metal halide lamp instead of sun light is an ultimated method for plant production without any pesticides regardless of seasonal changes. The plant factory is also completely isolated from outside environmental conditions such as a light, temperature, or humidity compared to conventional greenhouse. Light-environment control such as a quality or quantity in the plant factory system is essential for improving the growth and development of plant species. However, there was little report that the effects of various light qualities provided by LEDs on Ledebouriella seseloides growth under the plant factory system. METHODS AND RESULTS: Ledebouriella seseloides seedlings transplanted at urethane sponge were grown in the plant factory system of a horizontal type with LED artificial lights for 90 days. Yamazaki solution for hydroponic culture of the seedlings was regularly irrigated by the deep flow technique (DFT) system on the culture gutters. Electrical Conductivity (EC) and pH of the solution was recorded at 1.4 ds/m and 5.8 in average, respectively during the experimental period. Number of unfolded leaves, leaf length, shoot fresh and dry weight of the seedlings were three times measured in every 30 days after beginning of the experiment. Blue LEDs, red LEDs, and fluorescent lights inside the plant factory were used as light sources. Conventional fluorescent lamps were considered as a control. In all the treatment, light intensity was maintained at $100{\mu}mol/m^2/s$ on the culture bed. Fresh weight of the seedlings was 3.7 times greater in the treatment with the mixture radiation of fluorescent light and blue+red LEDs (1:3 in energy ratio; Treatment FLBR13) than in fluorescent light treatment (Treatment FL). In FLBR13 treatment, dry weight per seedling was two times greater than in FL or BR11 treatment of blue+red LEDs (1:3 in energy ratio; Treatment BR11) during the culture period. Increasing in number of unfolded leaves was also significantly affected by the FLBR13 treatment comparing with BR11 treatment. CONCLUSION(S): Hydroponic culture of Ledebouriella seseloides seedlings was successfully achieved in the plant factory system with mixture lights of blue, red LEDs and fluorescent lights. Shoot growth of the seedlings was significantly promoted by the FLBR13 with the mixture radiation of fluorescent light, blue, and red LEDs under 1:3 mixture ratio of blue and red LEDs during the experimental period compared to conventional light conditions.

Saposhnikovia has been used as a traditional medicinal herb in Asia because of the reported anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic rhinitis, pro-whitening, anti-atopy, anti-allergy, and anti-dermatopathy effects of the phytochemical compounds it contains. In this study, we investigated the antioxidant effects of a Saposhnikovia extract after fermentation by Lactobacillus plantarum BHN-LAB 33. Saposhnikovia powder was inoculated with L. plantarum BHN-LAB 33 and fermented at $37^{\circ}C$ for 72 hr. After fermentation, the total polyphenol content of the Saposhnikovia extract increased by about 14%, and the total flavonoid content increased by about 9%. The superoxide dismutase-like activities, DPPH radical scavenging, ABTS radical scavenging, reducing power activity, and tyrosinase inhibition activity also increased after fermentation by approximately 70%, 80%, 45%, 39%, and 44%, respectively. The results confirmed that fermentation of a Saposhnikovia extract by L. plantarum BHN-LAB 33 is an effective way to increase the antioxidant effects of the extract. The bioconversion process investigated in this study may have the potential to produce phytochemical-enriched natural antioxidant agents with high added value from Saposhnikovia matrices. These results can also be applied to the development of improved foods and cosmetic materials.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the growth and functional differences between C. rotundus and G. littoralis according to different electrical conductivity (EC) conditions in reclaimed soil conditions. C. rotundus and G. littoralis seeds were sown in a tray and managed for seedlings stage for eight weeks. They were transplanted in the pots containing reclaimed soils sampled in the Saemangum region. The plants were grown in the reclaimed land soil for 12 weeks under the control, 1, 2, 4, and $8dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ conditions and in horticultural soils with EC $1.0dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$. Plant height, leaf length and width of C. rotundus were the highest in EC $1dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$. Leaf, flower and tuber numbers of C. rotundus were the highest in EC $2dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ and the lowest in EC $8dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$, and SPAD was the highest in EC 2 and $4dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ and the lowest in EC $8dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$. The fresh weights of shoot and root of C. rotundus grown under EC $2dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ increased and then decreased as the concentration increased. When compared plant growth between reclaimed soil and horticulture soil with EC $1dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$, the fresh weights of shoot and root, SPAD, leaf number, flower number, and tuber number were higher in horticultural soils. Although G. littoralis grown under EC $8dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ was the lowest in all growth parameters, there were no significant differences among other EC treatments. C. rotundus had the highest p-coumaric acid content in EC $1dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$. And the catechin content in shoot of G. littoralis was the highest in the control, and root of Glehnia littoralis had the highest benzoic acid contents in EC $1dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$. If the soil EC is well managed within $4.0dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$, two plants would be cultivated in reclaimed land.

The cultivation boundary areas and biological activator efficacies of Vitex rotundifolia, Tetragonia tetragonoides and Glehnia littoralis were investigated. Investigation of coastal areas revealed the East and West cultivation boundary areas of Vitex rotundifolia and Gelhnia littoralis to be the Taean Peninsula, Taean-gun and Gangwon-do, Donghae-City. The East and West coastal cultivation boundary areas of Tetragonia tetrragonoides are Jeollanam-do and Kyeongsangbuk-do, Ulleung-gun. The natural habitat is less than 200 m from the coastal area. Most of the Vitex rotundifolia, Tetragonia tetragonoides and Glehnia littoralis grow naturally in a region of mixed sand, clay and loam, in direct sunlight. No dominant vegetation was located. To analyze anti-inflammatory efficacy, RAW 264.7 cells were used. Vitex rotundifolia, Tetragonia tetragonoides and Glehnia littoralis inhibited inflammation by 37%, 12% and 10% in $100{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, respectively. However, the anti-inflammatory efficacy of Glehnia littoralis was invalid. Analysis of anti-cancer activity was accomplished using HL-60 cells. Glehnia littoralis revealed 60% and 72% inhibition activity in $100{\mu}g/m{\ell},\;and\;200{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ respectively. No cytotoxicity inhibition activity was investigated in Vitex rotundifolia and Tetragonia tetragonoides.

The sea breeze shows different characteristics compared to land breeze, such as high wind speed and more rapider shift period. One of the major factors affecting plant early growth is wind speed. In the early growth stage, tree growth-rates rise with decreasing wind speed. Thus, the study was performed to identify wind break effects on wind characteristics and tree growth. The wind break used in this study was about 130 meters length and 3 meters height, made up with poly-ethylene (with 40% openness). We installed one vane and fifteen anemographs at three different heights (1, 2 and 3 meters) on the inner and outer wind break areas. The wind characteristic and plant growth data were collected from Jun. 2011 to Oct. over 2012. The wind rose of the Saemangum seawall area presented the north (21.5%) and it was followed by north-west (18.1%), east (14.9%) and north-east (13.7%) and the remainder with other directions. Wind speeds at height were different. The tree height was 159.6 cm at inside and 129.6 cm at outside. The diameter at root-collar was 36.9 mm at inside and 32.6 mm at outside from wind break.

The study was performed to evaluate the usefulness of windbreaks to reduce the effect of sulfur dioxide and hydrogen fluoride on the growth of rice plants. It was observed that various pollution indicators such as the ambient concentrations of sulfur oxide and fluoride, sulfur and fluorine contents found in leaves appear to be significantly reduced within 3 meters behind the break. In that region yield components seemed normal. It is, however, observed that the pollutional indicators appear to increase gradually back to the same level as they were on the upwind side of the break. As for the relationships between pollution indicators and yields and also yield components it was believed that pollutants found in leaves might serve as the most important indicators of pollutional damage to rice plant Cultivation in fields. There was high correlation between ambient concentrations and yield, and also yield components. More significantly, a better correlation seemed to exist between sulfur and fluorine contents observed in leaves and yield ; And between those contents and yield components.
