This paper describes the performance of ground improvement project using prefabricated vertical drains of condition, in which approximately 10m dredged fill overlies original soft foundation layer in the coastal area composed of soft marine clay with high water content and high compressibility. From field monitoring results, excessive ground settlement compared with predicted settlement in design stage developed during the following one year. In order to predict the final consolidation behavior, recalculation of consolidation settlements and back analysis using observed settlements were conducted. Field monitoring results of surface settlements were evaluated, and then corrected because large shear deformation occurred by construction events in the early stages of consolidation. To predict the consolidation behavior, material functions and in-situ conditions from laboratory consolidation test were re-analyzed. Using these results, height of additional embankment is estimated to satisfy residual settlement limit and maintain an adequate ground elevation. The recalculated time-settlement curve has been compared with field monitoring results after additional surcharge was applied. It might be used for verification of recalculated results.

This study aims to determine the value of the willingness to pay(WTP) admission fees through surveying the level at which visitors to national science museums in Korea are willing to pay for admission fees. The determination helps objectively identify ways to substantially increase admission-based revenues, thereby enhancing managerial efficiency of national science museums. Using the contingent valuation method(CVM), we analyzed the WTP for admission fees of 250 visitors to Gwacheon National Science Museum. The statistical analysis revealed that the average amount of WTP was far higher than the current admission fees(4,000 won for adults and 2,000 won for children and adolescents). WTP of questionnaire respondents was normally distributed at the mean of 8,447 won for adult admission and 6,535 won for non-adult admission to Gwacheon National Science Museum. This result can be used as basic evidence to redetermine admission fees of national science museums and ultimately improve financial vitality.

The effects of electron beam (e-beam) irradiation at up to 10 kGy on the microbiological and physicochemical properties of dried red pepper powders were studied. Samples from Korea, China, and Vietnam were included in this study. In untreated samples, the total number of microbes, such as total aerobic bacteria, yeasts and molds, was in the range of $10^6-10^7CFU/g$. E-beam irradiation at 5 kGy reduced the microbial load by 2-4 log cycles, thus improving the hygienic quality of the samples. Moisture and pH of the samples were unchanged after e-beam irradiation. Reducing sugar content decreased at 1 kGy, followed by a gradual increase at higher radiation doses. At 5 kGy, no significant changes in the content of capsaicinoids were observed between the irradiated and control samples, while a 10 kGy dose led to a significant decrease. The content of pigments did not exhibit apparent changes with increasing dose of irradiation.

Hot pepper (Capsicum annum L.) is one of the most important ingredients in Asian food. The capsaicinoids, capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin are responsible for more than 90% of the pepper's pungency. The objective of this study was to determine the amounts of these two major capsaicinoids in hot peppers cultivated from different regions in Korea. Peppers (Geumgochu) cultivated in 24 different regions of Korea were collected in 2011. The capsaicinoids of these plants were extracted with methanol and determined quantitatively by HPLC with a fluorescence detector. The capsaicinoid value ranged from 22.4 mg/100 g to 119.1 mg/100 g depending upon different regions. The average capsaicinoid content of the peppers from Gangwon and Gyeonggi was 66.73 mg/100 g, and the content from Jeonbuk and Jeonnam was 50.34 mg/100 g. However, average capsaicinoid content from these four different cultivation regions were not significantly different. Finally, analytical method validation parameters such as recovery, reproducibility, repeatability, were calculated to ensure the method's validity.

The paper is to estimate willingness-to-pay (WTP) for residential water quality improvement in Busan, using non-parametric approach. There are several significant advantages of non-parametric approach, compared to parametric methods. That is, no probability distribution assumption is necessary so that there are no needs to assume or test goodness of fit, model specification and heteroscedasticity statistically. For the reliability and the validity of contingent valuation method a survey was conducted for 665 respondents, who were sampled by stratified random sampling method, by personal interview method. The result of mean WTP for residential water quality improvement in Busan was estimated to be 3,190 won to 3,331 won per month per household, while median WTP being 1,750 won. Provided that our sample is broadly representative of the Busan's population, an estimate of the annual aggregated benefit of residential water improvement for all Busan households is approximately 50.2 billion won in case of mean WTP or 27.5 billion won in case of median WTP.

These studies were conducted to investigate the proper method of nitrogen application for increasing the growth stability and quality in ballon flower (Platycodon grandiflorum A. DC.). In growth characteristics by split ratio of nitrogen application, stem diameter, number of branching roots and number of leaves were higher at the split ratio of 50:50 (nitrogen were splitted a half with basal application and the other half in autumn) than at 70:30. Root length, root diameter and number of branching root were higher at 50:50 than those of 70:30. The root yield was increased by 30% (230 kg/10a) at 50:50 compared with that of the 70:30. The crude saponin contents of root from 50:50 was 4.68%.

We have researched the changes of paddy soil properties and rice yield by several different methods to treated with liquid pig manure(LPM). In the execution of this experiment, rice was cultivated to full maturity at a paddy field in Jeollabuk-do in 2011. Field experiment was designed with surface application on dry field condition+jet hose spray(Tr. 1), surface application on dry field condition+incorporation with irrigation water(Tr. 2), surface application on dry field condition+application device of fertilizer through irrigation(Tr. 3), submerged application on irrigated field condition+jet hose spray(Tr. 4), submerged application on irrigated field condition+incorporation with irrigation water(Tr. 5) and submerged application on irrigated field condition+application device of fertilizer through irrigation(Tr. 6) plot. Total N, P, K contents in used LPM were 0.44%, 0.07% and 0.14%, respectively. After the experiment, soil properties were not significant difference both several treated plots. But $NO_3$ and $NH_4$ contents at incorporation with irrigation water plots in paddy soil were higher than other plots. The yield was 602 kg $10a^{-1}$ in Tr. 2 plot compared Tr. 6 plot, which showed a value of 9.6% higher.

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of adding extra dietary salt on the blood acid－base balance, water intake and egg quality in heat stressed layers. Eighteen 44－wk－old brown commercial layers(Dekalb Warren) were randomly alloted to 0.25 and 0.75% dietary salt treatments, with nine replicates per treatment and one bird per replicate. After 3 d of preliminary period at 13~$16^{\circ}C$(normal temperature), layers were subjected to 3 d of collection period. Then the room temperature was raised to 33－$35^{\circ}C$f(hot temperature), and another 3 d of collodion period was followed. The experiment was designed as a $2\times2$ factorial and analyzed as suck The ANOVA test and comparison among treatment means were done at 5% probability levels. Results obtained were summarized as follows. L The heat stressed layers decreased feed intake, and increased water intake and excreta moisture content significantly. The addition of extradietary salt significantly increased excreta moisture content 2. The heat stressed layers showed significantly higher blood pH and lower $pCO_2$ values than the control bird However, the addition of extra salt did not change any acid－base variables. 3. The egg weight and shell quality decreased significantly, and haugh unit increased significantly by the heat stress. However, these values were not affected by the salt addition. In summary, the heat stressed layers displayed respiratory alkalosis and poor egg quality, as expected However, the addition of ex03 salt to the diet failed to alleviated the heat stress in this layer experiment.

In order to study the quarantine and sanitization methods for dried red pepper, comparative effects of commercial fumigation (methyl bromide/MeBr, phosphine gas/$PH_3$) and gamma irradiation (5, 10 kGy) were investigated in terms of soluble pigment capsanthin, and capsaicin content of pepper during storage at mom temperature for 8 months. In water-soluble pigment, the degree of browning was highest in the fumigated samples, particularly in pericarp part, as compared to the control and irradiated samples. In general, the changes in capsanthin content were not apparent by treatment groups, but some reduced content were found in 10 kGy-irradiated pericarp group, Eight months of storage resulted in the significant decrease in capsanthin contents of pericarp part by $26.76{\sim}38.08%$ depending on treatment groups. The contents of capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin were not different between the control and 5 kGy groups, while their contents decreased in both fumigated and 10 kGy-irradiated groups(p<0.05). The reduction in pungent component was observed in all the sooted samples, which was mote apparent in teated groups than in the control.
