To control populations of the chestnut weevil, Curculio sikkimensis Heller, the effects of various immersion temperatures and times on the chestnut weevil were tested. The effects of immersion treatments on chestnut fruits were also analyzed. The mortality levels of C. sikkimensis larvae were evaluated at various temperatures ($30^{\circ}C$, $35^{\circ}C$, $40^{\circ}C$, $45^{\circ}C$, and $50^{\circ}C$) and time intervals (1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 22, and 24 h). Changes in the chestnut fruit due to the immersion treatment were measured in terms of color (lightness, redness, and yellowness), physiological effects (germination rate and decay rate), hardness, and change in constituent properties (moisture content, free sugar content, and tannin content). Mortality levels of C. sikkimensis larvae after immersion treatment at $30^{\circ}C$ were over 70% and 100% after 2 h and 7 h, respectively. Color (lightness, redness, and yellowness) of the chestnut fruits was not significantly different at $30^{\circ}C$ and $35^{\circ}C;$ however, the color was affected at temperatures over $40^{\circ}C$. The germination rate of the fruit was not affected by the immersion treatments, but the decay rate at $40^{\circ}C$ increased with an increase in immersion time. The hardness of the fruits decreased with an increase in immersion times and temperatures. These results can be used in the future for developing methods for the control of chestnut weevil populations.

To develop a simple test for evaluation crop tolerance to acid rain disks of recently matured leaves of 12 crops（rice, corn, barley, wheat, soybean, adzuki bean, Chinese cabbage, radish, lettuce, spinach, and tomato） were soaked in simulated acid rain（SAR） solutions for 1, 2, 3, and 4 hours. Changes in pH and electrical conductivity（EC） of leaf soaked solutions and changes in the color of the soaked leaves were observed. The pH and EC of leaf soaked solutions differed depending on the pH of SAR, crops, and soaking time. Among the crops differences in pH of leaf soaked solutions were most stable and significant for 1∼4 hour soaking in pH 4.0 SAR solution, but those of EC were for 1∼4 hour solaking in pH 5.0 SAR soultions. Color of leaves soaked in pH 2.0 SAR solutions was changed significantly, but not in the pH 3.0 or higher SAR solutions. Vis-ual damages of intact leaves caused by spray of pH 2.0 SAR solution in the greenhouse was posi-tively correlated with pH changes in pH 4.0 SAR solution, but not with EC changes in pH 5.0 SAR solution or color changes of leaves soaked in pH 2.0 soulution. The pH of solution was posi-tively correlated with Ca and Mg concentrations of the solutions and EC was positively correlated with K, Ca, and Mg.

This study was conducted to identify the potential of rape stalk as a raw material for biorefinery process of rape flower. At first, rape stalk (RS) was immersed in distilled water (DW), acetic acid (AA), oxalic acid (OA), sulfuric acid (SA) and sodium hydroxide (SH) solutions, and the content of reducing sugars liberated from immersed RS was analyzed. Glucose, xylose, arabinose and sucrose were detected varying with the immersion type. In particular, 1% AA-immersion of RS for 72 hr was the most effective conditions to liberate glucose from RS. Secondly, the RS residues were used for elementary analysis and fabrication of fuel pellets. In addition to the solution type, concentration of immersion solutions (0%, 1%, 2%) and immersion time (24, 72, 120 hr) were used as experimental factors. The contents of nitrogen, sulfur and chlorine reduced effectively through the immersion of RS in DW, AA and OA solutions. For properties of RS-based pellets, bulk density and higher heating value of RS-based pellets greatly increased with the immersion of RS, and the qualities were much higher than those of the A-grade pellet of the EN standards. Ash content decreased remarkably through the immersion of RS, and was satisfied with the A-grade pellet standard. Durability was negatively affected by the immersion of RS, and did not reached to B-grade of the EN standard. In conclusion, acid immersion of RS can be a pretreatment method for the production of fuel pellet and bioethanol, but use of the immersed RS for the production of high-quality pellets might be restricted due to low durability of immersed-RS pellets. Therefore, further studies, such as investigation of detailed immersion conditions, fabrication of mixed pellets with wooden materials and addition of binders, are needed to resolve the problems.

Two insecticides, fenobucarb (36, 12 ppm) and imidacloprid (0.7, 0.4 ppm) were treated on rice seedling roots by root uptake method with different dipping time (1, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 hrs). This study was performed to elucidate the correlation between insecticidal activity and feeding behavior of Nilaparvata lugens using EPG (electrical penetration graph). EPG waveforms are recorded for 4 hours and classified into six waveforms. In the correlation between root uptake and corrected mortality, both insecticides showed higher corrected mortality as higher doses and as longer root uptake times. In the analysis of waveforms, N. lugens showed longer nonprobe time but shorter phloem feeding time at a higher dose. It was also showed the same result as longer the root uptake times. Therefore, it showed the correlation between insecticidal activity by root uptake time and both EPG waveforms (non-probing time and phloem feeding time).

The effect of sugar concentration, immersion time and temperature on water loss, solid gain or loss, and sugar molality of potatoes during osmotic concentration was analyzed by a response surface methodology (RSM), and those values were predicted by using a second degree polynomial regression model. Effect of osmotic concentration and blanching on vitamin C retention of air dried potatoes (6% MC: wet basis) was also evaluated. The most significant factor was sugar concentration for water loss, solid gain or loss, sugar molality, rate parameter and retention of vitamin C. Second and third factors were immersion time and temperature respectively. Water loss and solid gain were rapid in the first 10 min and then levelled off. A 44.6% of water loss was observed during osmotic concentration using a sugar solution $(60\;Brix,\;80^{\circ}C$) with 20 min of immersion time. Dried potatoes after osmotic concentration had higher vitamin C content than dried potatoes after blanching. Optimum regions for osmotic concentration process of potatoes were $60-70^{\circ}C$ of immersion temperature, 60 Brix of sugar solution and 16-20 min of immersion time based on above 30% of water loss and 50% of vitamin C retention.

The presoaking conditions of soybeans in various solution for decreasing microbial contamination and improving germination were investigated. Soybeans were treated with presoaking solutions (sterilized water, 0.1% grape fruit extract, 0.1% vitamin $B_1$ derivate solution AS5 and vitagen) at $25^{\circ}C,\;35^{\circ}C,\;45^{\circ}C\;and\;55^{\circ}C$ for $3\sim12$ hr and germinate at $25^{\circ}C$, 95%RH for 3 days. Total bacterial count and coliform count of soybeans were $6.0\times10^5CFU/g$ and $3.0\times10^5CFU/g$, respectively, and the most of presoaking treatments decreased the microbial contamination. The increase of presoaking time induces low germination ratio compared with unsoaked soybeans and the germination of soybeans was not detected at $55^{\circ}C$. The germination of soybeans was effected by presoaking solutions, temperature, and time. The optimal presoaking condition for decreasing microbial contamination and promoting initial germination was using grape fruit extract at $35^{\circ}C$ for 6 hr.

The diffusion phenomena of water, solid and reducing sugar in Chinese cabbage during salting (5$0^{\circ}C$, 25% salt solution) and desalting (5$0^{\circ}C$, distilled water) were investigated. Water loss and solid gain during salting were rapid in the first 6hrs and then almost leveled off. After 24hrs of salting, water loss and solid gain in 100g of initial wet Chinese cabbage were 33.35g and 6.26g respectively. Moisture content was changed from 94.29% to 83.11% during 24hrs of salting. The reducing sugar concentration was also changed from 29.2 mg/$m\ell$ to 6.5mg/$m\ell$, which was linearized as a function of the square root of salting time and showing that Y=30.1841-5.0269√t. After 24hrs salting, water gain and solid loss during desalting were rapid in the first 4hrs and then increased linearly. After 12hrs of desalting, the water gain and solid loss in 100g of initial wet Chinese cabbage were 20.82g and 9.14g respectively. The amount of solid loss after 12hrs desalting was higher than that of solid gain after 24hrs salting due to the diffusion of solute presented initially in the Chinese cabbage during salting and desalting. The concentration of salt in Chinese cabbage after 12hrs desalting was 2.98% which was a suitable salt concentration for the preparation of Kimchi. At this time, the concentration of reducing sugar was only 1.6mg/$m\ell$. The linear regression equation of reducing sugar concentration during desalting was Y=6.7854-1.5992√t.

Softening effects of enzyme following pre-treatments were examined. Four pre-treatments: raw (R), heat (H), heat and freeze-thawing (HFT), heat and freeze-drying (HFD) were applied to carrot. Subsequently, each treated sample was immersed in 10% celluclast enzyme solution for up to 6 h and then their properties were compared. The minimum and the maximum color change was observed in HFD and H, respectively. R showed no change in hardness after 6 h immersion, indicating that the enzyme did not penetrate the carrot. The number and size of pores were greater in samples undergone HFT or HFD as observed by microstructure analysis using SEM, and HFD caused 99.5% reduction in hardness after 6 h immersion. After 6 h immersion post-HFT or 3 h immersion post-HFD, the hardness was less than $20,000N/m^2$, indicating tongue ingestion was possible, and the samples retained their original shape and easily collapsed by spoon pressing.

Mg-8Li-4AI 합금의 부식특성에 미치는 Y의영향을 전기화학적 분극시험 및 침지시험을 통하여 조사하였다. 전기 화학적 분극시험에서는 Y첨가량이 증가함에 따라 활성화 영역이 감소하엿고 부식전위가 증가하였으며, Y이 4.08wt% 첨가된 경우가 Y이 첨가되지 않은 경우에 비해 부식속도가 크게 감소하였다. 침지시험에서도 Y의 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 Y을 첨가하지 않은 시편에 비하여 무게감량 및 부시속도가 감소하였으며, Y이 첨가되지 않은 합금의 부식속도는 침지시간에 따라 급격히 증가하였지만 Y이 첨가되지 않은 합금의 부식속도는 침지시간에 따라 급격히 증가하였지만 Y이 4.8wt% 첨가된 합금은 96시간 이후부터 더 이상 증가하지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 Y 화합물(Mg24Y5)이 $\alpha$/$\beta$계면에서 희생 양극으로 작용하였기 때문이라고 생각된다. 따라서 Y의 첨가는 Mg-Li-AI 합금의 내식성을 향상시키는 역할을 한 것으로 판단된다.
