The silver selenide electrode has been prepared and its properties as an indicating electrode for silver ion have been investigated. Epoxy resin was used as a filler of silver selenide electrode. Silver metal plate was directly connected with the membrane of the electrode and the silver paste was used as its binder. The sintered electrode was more sensitive and stable than the pressed electrode, and the silver selenide electrode more sensitive than the silver sulfide electrode to silver ion. The linear relationship between the electrode potential and logarithmic concentration of silver ion has been observed down to 10-6 M for the electrode. Several heavy metal ions except mercuric ion did not interfere this linearity, but halide, cyanide, and thiocyanate ions did intensively interfere owing to the formation of silver compounds and complexes. This electrode has been applied to the potentiometric titration for determining halide ion. It is concluded that interferences from ,$CN^-, SCN^-, S^-, I^-, Br^-, Cl^- and Hg^{2+}$ ions are detrimental to the practical use of the electrodes for measuring pAg.

8-Hydroxyquinoline, known to have the therapeutic effect to fusarium; and to diminish the amount of evaporation because of reducing the size of the stomata, and a new compound, phenylmercuric 8-oxyquinolinate, were synthesized. The fungicidal effect and diminishing effect of evaporation in phenylmercuric 8-oxyquinolinate were studied and the results are as follows. 1) 8-Hydroxyquinoline(m.p. $74{\sim}75^{\circ}C$, white needle crystalline) was synthesized by Skraup's method, 2) Phenylmercuric 8-oxyquinolinate(m.p. $159{\sim}160^{\circ}C$, yellowish brown needle crystalline) was synthesized by reacting phenylmercuricacetate to 8-hydroxyquinoline. 3) The orders of the fungicidal effects are; a) To Cochliobolus miyabeanus P.M.A.

The gilt bronze statue, Seated Avalokiteshvara with a Thousand Hands, of the Goryeo dynasty, is the only one in Korea of its kind that has undergone a conservation process for the special exhibition entitled GORYEO: The Glory of Korea. For the conservation treatment, first, a component analysis (XRF) was conducted, and a manufacturing technique (CT) was analyzed. The results of the investigation revealed that the statue was alloyed with Cu, Sn, and Pb ternary bronze. Its surface, except for the detached plating layers, was originally plated using the mercury amalgam method. This statue was assembled after separately casting each part of the body, such as the left and right arms and the wrists, including the hands, with objects. In particular, each wrist was cast and fitted with a metal nail to express each object in the hands more precisely. Inside the statue, there were five iron cores: two for the head, one for the left elbow, one for the right flank, and one for the right waist. For the preservative treatment, natural adhesive agents, including vegetable gelatin and glue (20%), were mixed with alcohol to protect the base metal and adhere to the plating layers. Using synthetic resin (CDK 520+SN-sheet) for the damaged parts, the restored parts could be attached and detached to/from the statue. Eventually, the compositional analysis and conservation treatment left the statue in a stable condition and ready for exhibitions and future studies.

'Hwangkeumnuri' is a japonica rice variety developed and registered by the rice breeding team of Honam Agricultural Research Institute, NICS, RDA in 2006. This variety was derived from a cross between 'Milyang 165' (Junambyeo) with good quality and high yield and HR14732-B-67-2-3 with multi-disease resistance. This variety has about 125 days growth duration from transplanting to harvesting in west-southern coast, Honam and Youngnam plain of Korea. It is about 76 cm in culm length and tolerance to lodging. In reaction to biotic and abiotic stresses, it shows resistance to blast, bacterial blight pathogen from $K_1$ to $K_3$ and stripe virus, but susceptible to other major diseases and insect pests. The milled rice of 'Hwangkeumnuri' exhibits translucent, relatively clear non-glutinous endosperm and midium short grain. It has similar amylose content of 18.9% and lower protein content of 6.2%, and good palatability of cooked rice compared with 'Nampyeongbyeo'. The milled rice yield performance of this variety is about 5.74 MT/ha in local adaptability test for three years. 'Hwangkeumnuri' would be adaptable to west-southern coast, Honam and Yeongnam plain of Korea.
