Twenty-four major ecological and physiolosical characters of the 54 accessions of taro(Colocasia antiquorum) were observed in the growing seasons of 1995 and 1996 in $Ch{\breve{o}}nju$, Korea. The average days to emergence of the 54 accessions were 21.7 and the accession which had the shortest days to emergence was Kurye #2. Petiole color of most accessions was green, except $Ich{\breve{o}}n$ #1, Iri #1, Puan #1 and Taiwan #1 which had purple petioles. All the accessions had cormels except Taiwan #1 which had long runners without cormels. Average yield of the accessions was 3,719 kg/10a and total carmel weight, average carmel number, average carmel and average corm weight were 787g/plant, 39.2/plant, 20.3g/cormel, and 263.6g/plant, respectively. Accessions $Ch{\breve{o}}ngju$ #1 and Wanju #1 showed superiority in the three important characters, total carmel weight/plant, average carmel weight, and corm weight. Multivariate analysis for the 24 characters indicated that petiole color and carmel type had relatively higher coefficient of variation, 56.8 and 44.4 %, respectively. Fifty four taro accessions could be classified into 11 groups with D(${\sqrt{D^{2}}$) value of 110 on the basis of phenotypical characteristics. Most accessions were inclued in Group II. The Group I in which Taiwan #1 was included was genetically the most distant from the other groups. Accessions with purple petioles were grouped into the three different subgroups in which green petiole accessions were not included, indicating high dissimilarity between the different petiole color accessions. All the accessions grouped into the Group VIII, $Ch{\breve{o}}ngju$ #1, Wanju #1, Wanju #3, and $Taech{\breve{o}}n$ #2, had higher bioogical yield. Some accessions collected from the same district showed a high dissimilarity by being classified into the different subgroups.

In this study, a simple, effective, and sensitive method has been developed for the quantitative residue analysis of cyhalofop-butyl and its metabolite cyhalofop acid in water and soil when kept under laboratory conditions. The content of cyholofop-butyl and cyhalofop acid in water and soil was analyzed by first purifying the compounds through liquid-liquid extraction and partitioning followed by Silica gel (adsorption) chromatography. Upon the completion of the purification step the residual levels were monitored through high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using a UV absorbance detector. The recoveries of cyhalofop-butyl from three replicates spiked at two different concentrations ranged from 82.5 to 100.0% and from 66.7 to 97.9% in water and soil, respectively. The limit of detection and minimum detection level of cyhalofop-butyl in water and soil was 0.02 ppm and 10 ng, respectively. The recoveries of cyhalofop acid ranged from 80.7 to 104.8% in water and from 76.9 to 98.1 % in soil. The limit of detection of cyhalofop acid was 0.005 ppm in water and 0.01 ppm in soil, while the minimum detection level was 2 ng both in water and soil. The half-live of cyhalofop-butyl was 4.14 and 6.6 days in water and soil, respectively. The method was successfully applied to evaluate cyhalofop-butyl residues in water and soil applied aj. 30% emulsion, oil in water (EW) product.

We employed the vinyl ethylene carbonate (VEC) as an electrolyte additive and investigated the effect of the electrolyte additive on the electrochemical performance in hybrid capacitor. The activated carbon was adopted as cathode material, and the $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ oxide was used as anode material. The electrolyte was prepared with the $LiPF_6$ salt in the mixed solvent of ethylene carbonate (EC), dimethyl carbonate (DMC), and ethyl methyl carbonate(EMC). We evaluated the electrochemical performance of the hybrid capacitor with increasing the amount of the VEC electrolyte additive, which is known as the remover of oxygen functional group and the stabilizer of the electrode by reducing the surface of electrode, and obtained the superior performance data especially at the addition of the VEC electrolyte additive of around 0.7 vol%. On the contrary, the addition of the VEC more than 0.7 vol% in the electrolyte leads to the degradation in electrochemical performance of hybrid capacitor, suggesting the increase of the side reaction from the excessive VEC additive. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed that the addition of the VEC suppressed the formation of LiF component, which is known as the insulator, on the surface of electrode. The optimized addition of VEC exhibited the improved capacity retention around 82.7% whereas the bare capacitors without VEC additive showed the 43.2% of capacity retention after 2500 cycling test.

The objective of this study was to examine whether there is an association of oral health conditions between mothers and their preschool children in Korea. A sample of 823 preschool children and their mothers were selected for this study from the database of the fourth Korean National Health and Nutrition examination Survey. Preschool children were defined as children aged 4, 5, and 6 years old. The subjects were clinically examined for the presence of caries lesions (dft index) and their mother was checked for the presence of dental caries (DMFT index) and periodontal status (CPI). The socio-demographic characteristics and mother's oral health behaviours were considered covariates in this study. Univariate and multivariate analysis was adapted to assess the association of oral health condition between mothers and their preschool children. In univariate analysis, there were significant differences between preschool children's dft index and their mother's age (p=0.005), dental treatment demand for the past one year (p=0.034), and DMFT index (p=0.016). In multivariate analysis, only mother's DMFT index was significantly associated with their children's dft index after adjusting for covariates. In conclusion, the mother's oral health was partly associated with their preschool children's oral health in Korea.

The improved derivatization technique of tamoxifen metabolite in human urine is described for the acylation method that they are substituted by derivatization reagent like acyl anhydride for use of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The hydroxyl group of tamoxifen metabolite was derivatized by trifluoroacetic anhydride (TFAA), pentafluoroacetic anhydride (PFPA) and heptaflorobutylic anhydride (HFBA). It was investigated to the gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) technique use negative ion chemical ionization (NCI), positive ion chemical ionization (PCI) and electron impact (EI). In acylation of the metabolites of tamoxifen, the effective reaction temperature and time were shown to be at $50^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. The 4-hydroxytamoxifen, which is known to major metabolite of tamoxifen, was not detected in human urine, whileas the hydroxymethoxytamoxifen was detected. We thought that this result was from the single dose of tamoxifen.

우리나라는 도시화, 산업화에 따른 수질저하 및 용수확보 문제를 해결하기 위하여 각종 환경기초시설의 증설과 수질개선을 위한 대책을 수립하여 왔다. 그러나 점오염원에 국한한 수질개선은 한계가 있었으며, 1995년 환경부는 전국 비점오염원 조사를 통해 비점오염원이 수질오염에 기여하는 비율이 T-N, SS는 50% 이상을 점유하고 기타 BOD, T-P도 $20{\sim}30%$ 수준임을 밝힌 바 있다. 이에 정부는 오염총량관리제를 도입하여 비점오염원의 관리를 시작하였으나, 강우시 정확한 유량자료를 바탕으로한 수질 측정자료의 부족으로 비점오염원 관리에 있어 어려움이 따르고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 비점오염원 관리 및 연구를 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있도록 수도권 및 인근지역 주민의 식수원인 팔당호로 직유입되고, 정확한 수질자료 확보가 필요한 경안 수위관측소 지점에서 2007년 6월${\sim}$9월에 일어난 강우 중 4개의 강우사상에 대하여, 수질측정을 실시하였다. 본 연구에서 이용한 유량자료는 2007년 수위-유량관계곡선식으로 산정한 환산 유량이며, 실측한 수질자료를 바탕으로한 유량과 부하량의 관계는 통계학적으로 분석하였다. 수질측정 항목은 수온, DO, pH, EC, SS, BOD, CODMn, CODCr, T-N, T-P 등이며, BOD의 농도는 2개의 강우사상에서만 분석하였다. 현장에서 휴대용미터를 이용하여 수온, DO, pH, EC를 측정하였고, 나머지 항목은 한국건설기술연구원내 환경정밀분석 센타에 의뢰하였다. 각 항목별 유량-부하량 관계식은 기존의 지수식이 아닌 선형이나 다항식으로 산정하였다. 다항식으로 산정된 식의 결정계수($R^2$)는 BOD, T-N 항목을 제외한 각 항목에서 0.6 이상의 값을 가졌다. 항목별로 보면 SS는 0.90, $COD_{Mn}$은 0.87, $COD_{Cr}$은 0.84, T-P는 0.62의 값을 가졌다. 또한, T-N은 0.53, BOD는 0.32의 값을 가져 유량과 부하량의 관계가 거의 상관성이 없는 것으로 나타났다. BOD의 경우는 4개의 강우사상 중 2개의 강우사상에서만 분석되어 다른 항목에 비해 실측자료가 부족한 관계로 그 특성을 판단하기 어려웠다. 본 연구가 주로 홍수기에 이루어져 실측자료가 많지 않았기 때문에 본 연구의 대상지점을 대표할 수 있는 유량-부하량 관계식으로는 미흡한 한 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구자료를 기초로 장기간 많은 자료를 확보하여 유량-부하량 관계식을 수정 보완한다면, 차후 비점오염원 관리의 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Occurrence status of Tetranychus viennensis Zacher was investigated in Kyonghuk province. Its ecological studies were carried out and chemical control efficacy against females and eggs was examined. And the results ohtained are as follows. T. viennensis occurred from mid April through mid November with the peak time in June on cherry tree. Population level of T. viennensis was varied from 0 to 160 individuals per 100 peach leaves in different peach orchards, and its occurrence rate was 35% out of 20 ochards. However no T. viennensis was observed from 25 apple orchards in 5 districts of Kyongbuk province. Overwintering stage of T. viennensis females appeared in mid October, and most of them moved into under the rough hark in early November. The overwintered adult females moved out from the rough bark to leaves in early April. Mortality during overwintering was about 55%. Under four constant temperatures of 16, 19, 22, 25$^{\circ}$C. egg periods were 14. 3, 9.2, 6.8, and 4.0 days ; larva -nymph periods were 20.2, 13.9, 8.7, and 6.6 days. Female longevity was 67. 7, 60.7, 46.4, and 34.0 days : mean tota: fecundities per female were 21.2, 44.3, 54.4, and 64.7 eggs. Some acaricides, azocyclotin, pyridaben, propargite, tehufenpyrad and fenpyroximate were highly effective against females, while hexythiazox and clofentezine showed very low control effect from 3.6 to 14.4%. Whereas, all of 7 acaricides tested highly effective against the eggs.

Experiments were conducted to know N, P, and K top dressing effects on yield and other agronomic characters of rice plants grown in 5-year differently fertilized soils. Four levels of nitrogen, 0, 1.2, 2.4, and 3.6kg/10a, were applied 32 days before heading in 5-year non-fertilized and PK applied plots. Four levels of P_2 $O_{5}$ and K_2 O of 0, 4, 8 and 12kg/l0a were applied 40 days before heading in 5-year NK and NP applied plots, respectively. 1. Heading was delayed by seven days in 5-year non-fertilized and PK applied plots compared to NK, NP, or NPK applied plots where nitrogen was applied as basal. However, in 5-year non-fertilized and PK applied plots heading was delayed from 1 to 4 days as amounts of nitrogen top dressing increased. Phosphorus and potassium did not affect heading date of rice plants. 2. In 5-year non-fertilized plot grain yield increased as amounts of nitrogen top dressing increased up to 2.4kg/l0a due to both increased number of panicles per hill and spikelets per panicle. However, in 5-year PK applied plot amounts of nitrogen top dressing did not affect grain yield; the number of panicle per hill increased, but the percentage of ripened grains and grain weight tended to decrease as nitrogen levels increase. 3. The number of panicle/maximum tillers ratio in percentage increased markedly as amounts of nitrogen top dressing increased in 5-year non-fertilized and PK applied plots with maximum value of 130% on the basis of maximum tillers at vegetative stage. 4. Top dressing of phosphorus and potassium did not affect yield and other agronomic characters in NK and NP applied plots.

The fertilizer experiment was conducted to establish a pattern of a continuous application of organic matter in rice-barley cropping system. Fine textured gray lowland soil was used to grow the crops. The amount of nitrogen absorption and the yield of the crops were the highest in barnyard manure 1,000kg/10a. A correlation among the content of humus and nitrogen, the amount of nitrogen absorption, and the yield was significant while it was not significant among the the nitrogen content of the soil fertility, the total nitrogen, and the yield of crops. The result of this research suggests that revelation of available nitrogen after the decomposition of the organic matter depending on climate and regions should be studied for the organic matter application in due season.

In this study, we evaluated fermentation characteristics of microorganism with antimicrobial activity in makgeolli made from various kinds of koji and nuruk during fermentation. The pH of nuruk groups decreased compared to the koji groups after 3 days of fermentation. Acidity and alcohol contents of nuruk groups significantly increased compared to the koji groups. The total sugar contents of the koji groups were significantly higher than those of the nuruk groups after 15 days of fermentation. Sensory scores of koji groups (DKB) were higher than those of other samples. Antimicrobial activities of nuruk group (GND and ANF) against Salmonella enterica, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, and Bacillus cereus were significantly higher compared to the koji group. ST-1, isolated from (Geumjeonggu nuruk D), showed the highest antimicrobial activity and was identified as Paenibacillus polymyxa strain RCP6 based on 16S rRNA sequencing. Our result suggest that Paenibacillus polymyxa from nuruk group produces a bacteriocin-like substrate with antimicrobial activity.
