The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of ethephon, paclobutrazol, and uniconazole on the flowering of potted Yarrow (Archillea millefolium). Each plant growth regulator was sprayed two times before stem elongation period of yarrow. The tallest was 45.7 cm at $1000mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ ethephon and the shortest was 11.1 cm at 20 uniconazole. Uniconazole delayed flowering and decreased the number of flowers. Both uniconazole at 20 ppm and paclobutrazol at 200 ppm decreased the number of florets to 90.0% and 43.6% of control, respectively. In ethephon, number of florets was increased 34.1% compared with control. In addition, ethephon and paclobutrazol increased the number of mean auxillaly flowers to 28.6% and 23.5% of control, respectively. On the other hand, uniconazole decrease the number of auxillary flowers to 55.3%. Thus, paclobutrazol was recommended as a suitable plant growth regulator for yarrow pot plant production.

Thermoplastic elastomer was prepared from dynamical vulcanization of isotactic polypropylene(iPP)/nitrile rubber blend (NBR/iPP=70/30 wt/wt) in an internal mixer using dicumyl peroxide (DCP) as a curing agent and zinc dimethacrylate (ZDMA) as a coagent. There was a great improvement in tensile and tear strength, elongation-at-break and lower tension set when ZDMA was incorporated into the blend, which is supposed to be due to the increase in crosslink density or the rubber phase and the reduction in size of the rubber particles. It was revealed that the dynamically vulcanized blend exhibited good reprocessibility, indicating its thermoplastic nature.

Objectives: This study analyzed the factors related to outpatient service to Western medicine (WM) and Korean medicine (KM) of Korean adults with depressed mood using data from the 2019 Korea Health Panel Study. Methods: The general characteristics according to group of 827 individuals, and the factors influencing the use of integrative medicine (IM) medical service were identified using the Chi-square test and binary logistic regression results. The factors were classified based on the Andersen healthcare utilization model. The results of regression analysis were presented as odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: Among the individuals of the study, 658 (79.6%) were in the WM group and 169 (20.4%) were in the IM group. In the WM group and the IM group, the presence of suicidal ideation was common at 37.7% and 43.2%, respectively. As a result of regression analysis, the living in Busan/Daegu/Ulsan/Gyeongsang compared to living in Seoul/Gyeonggi/Incheon [OR = 0.522 (95% CI = 0.328 to 0.830)], and presence of musculoskeletal [OR = 1.686 (95% CI = 1.071 to 2.653)] and mood disorders [OR = 1.737 (95% CI = 1.106 to 2.726)] were the most influential factors on the use of IM medical service. Conclusions: This study is the first in Korea to analyze the patterns of medical institution use and factors used in KM treatment among adults with depressed mood. The results of this study provide preliminary evidence for the contribution of KM to national mental health in the context of depression.

Pyriofenone is an aryl phenyl ketone fungicide that is newly registered in Korea in 2013 to control powdery mildew on food. The objective of this study was to develop reliable and sensitive analytical method for determination of pyriofenone residue in agricultural products for ensuring the food safety. The pyriofenone residues in all samples(Korean melon, pepper, potato, mandarin, soybean, and hulled rice) were extracted with acetonitrile, partitioned with dichloromethane, and then purified with a silica cartridge. The purified samples were analyzed by HPLC-UVD and confirmed with LC-MS. The linear range of pyriofenone was 0.05~5 mg/kg with the correlation coefficient ($r^2$) > 0.999. Average recoveries of pyriofenone ranged from 72.8% to 99.5% at the spiked level of 0.05 and 0.5 mg/kg, while the relative standard deviation was 2.3%~6.4%. In addition, the limit of detection and limit of quantification were 0.01 and 0.05 mg/kg, respectively. The results revealed that the developed and validated analytical method was suitable for pyriofenone determination in agricultural products.

Purpose: This study investigates the association between seafood consumption and frailty according to gender in the Korean elderly. Methods: Cross-sectional data from the Seventh (2016-2018) Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey was procured for this study. Data from 3,675 subjects (1,643 men and 2,032 women) aged ≥ 65 years were analyzed. Levels of seafood intake were assessed by a one-day 24-hour dietary recall, and subjects were classified into three tertiles by gender according to frailty phenotype: robust, pre-frail, and frail. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was performed to clarify the association between seafood consumption and frailty for each gender. Results: The prevalence of frailty was determined as 13.4% for men and 29.7% for women. Participants with a higher seafood intake had higher intakes of grains, fruits, and vegetables, while the intake of meat was significantly lower. In both men and women, the group with higher seafood intake showed higher energy and micronutrient intakes. The frail prevalence and frailty score were significantly low in the highest tertiles of seafood consumption compared to the lowest tertile in men and women (p < 0.001). After adjusting for confounder, the highest tertile of seafood consumption showed a decreased risk of frailty compared to the lowest tertile only in women (hazard ratio [HR], 0.50; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.32-0.78; p-trend = 0.008 vs. HR, 0.52; 95% CI, 0.32-0.83; p-trend = 0.008; respectively). Conclusion: Results of this study suggest that seafood consumption potentially decreases the risk of frailty in the elderly.

Major and trace elements were analyzed in three core sediments to investigate geochemical characteristics of East Sea sediments and provenance changes during late Quaternary in Ulleung Basin. Comparing with Yellow and South Sea sediments, contents of major elements were generally similar while contents of trace elements were significantly different. Furthermore, within this basin, there were some variabilities in trace element compositions. In the western slope sediments (WS), Mo was enriched over 6 times as much as other sites. On the other hand, Zr, Nb, Hf and Ta were enriched in basin sediments (Basin), and Ca and Cs were enriched in southern slope sediments (SS). After excluding elements derived from biogenic, authigenic and diagenetic origins, the lithogenic elements (K, Ti, Cs, Zr, Nb, Hf and Ta) could be classified into three groups from the comparison of element/Al ratios among cores. The first group consisted of elements (K and Ti) that showed the nearly similar element/Al ratios among three cores. The second group contained Cs which showed significant difference between two slope sediments. The third group elements (Zr, Nb, Hf and Ta) showed highly enriched in basin relative to both slope areas. The depth profiles of metal/Al ratios in basin sediments provided the following interpretation for the compositions of sediment and their variation. From 10,000 yr B.P. to 7,000 yr B.P. two lithogenic components (volcanic ashes and western slope sediments) were mixed and deposited in the basin. After 7,000 yr B.P., however, southern slope sediments were mixed with volcanic ashes and deposited in basin area. This event of source change is nearly close to inflow period of the Tsushima Warm Current to Ulleung Basin. Thus, it might be suggested that element geochemistry in Ulleung basin sediment indicate the change of current system in the study area.

이전의 연구에서 기존의 ATY 장치에 ITY 노즐을 접목하여 개조한 사가공기로 제조한 탄성복합사를 자동차 시트용 트리코트 원단으로 편직하여 일광견뢰도가 우수한 염료를 선정하고 $125^{\circ}C$에서 염색하여야 견뢰도와 spandex의 물성을 저해하지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 폴리에스테르 탄성복합사의 염색성 평가에 이어 본 연구에서는 나일론 필라멘트 (70/24, Full-dull, 2ply사와 40D spandex 1ply사 복합)와 레이온사(75D, 1ply)를 투입하여 직물 원단(중량 216g/yd, 밀도 경사 78, 위사 52본/inch)을 제직한 후 2욕에서의 염색공정을 거칠 경우, 탄성복합사의 견뢰도와 물성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 나일론, 레이온, 폴리우레탄의 3종 원단을 염색성 평가를 위하여 반응성염료로 먼저 레이온 부분을 염색한 후 산성염료로 나일론 부분을 염색하였으며, 이 때 spandex가 미치는 영향을 비교하기 위하여 spandex가 함유되지 않은 나일론, 레이온 복합 제직원단도 함께 염색한 후 견뢰도를 평가하였다. 또한, 레이온 부분은 CPB염색법과 제트염색기로 나누어 염색하여 염색기에 따른 인장강도와 인열강도를 평가하였다. 레이온 염색에는 셀룰로오스용 2관능기 반응성염료 3원색을 이용하여 khaki color로 combination염색하였으며, 나일론 부분에는 입자크기가 커서 견뢰도가 우수한 산성염료를 선정하여 combination염색한 후 냉수세하였다. 견뢰도를 비교한 결과, spandex가 포함된 탄성복합사 원단과 나일론과 레이온 만으로 제직된 원단 모두 세탁, 마찰, 물, 땀, 일광 견뢰도 모두가 4~5급으로 우수하여 spandex에 이염된 염료가 견뢰도에 미치는 영향은 없음을 확인하였다. 또한, 레이온 부분의 반응성염료 염색 시 CPB와 제트염색법의 두 가지 종류에 대한 인장강도와 인열강도 평가결과는 CPB 염색물이 제트염색물보다 약간 높게 나타났지만 3% 이내의 차이로 거의 차이가 없음을 나타내었다. 일반적으로 제트염색 시 원단은 로프상으로 이동하고, CPB염법은 확포상태 그대로 염색되기 때문에 제트염색 시 강도가 낮아지는 것으로 알려져 있으나, 본 연구에서는 탄성복합사를 경사, 위사 모두 사용함으로써 spandex가 신장하는 특성 때문에 강도의 저하가 없는 것으로 사료된다.

In Mongolia which consists of nomadic populations, horse has been loved by nomads and considered most important transportation means. Horses have been used when they were making long journey looking for new plain ground for grazing. Therefore, horse is closely connected with Mongolian nomadic culture. In Korea, too, horses had been considered one of most important means for transportation and military. The symbolism of horse that is represented in both Mongolia and Korea is Heavenly Horse which communicates with the God and it was sanctified as a Sacrificing Horse which was sent to God for sacrifice, and it was even worshiped as Divine Horse, the diety. As is the case of two of Mongolian customs associated with Mongolian language are 'the ceremony of horse's giving birth her young' and 'the ceremony of letting the mare go where it was before', all the cases are related with cattle's milk. The ceremony of 'horse's giving birth her young' is the ceremony where people hope that they would see the young can grow well which were born in early summer thus increasing the numbers of horse. To go with this, they perform a ceremony of Chachal in which they sprinkle the best quality white milk which is the symbol of good luck and hope they would produce plentiful of dairy products. The ceremony of 'letting the mare go where it was before' is also the ceremony where people hope to have many new born young horses thus produce more dairy products and Airag for the next year as milking is no more available for that you. Since the unified Silla Era, Koreans have performed a sacrifice rituals to horse in auspicious day. It's purpose is to see their horses get no disease and bear as many youngs as possible. The Back Ins Je, one of well blown festivals in Jeju Island, was originated from people's wish to prosper in stock farming. It can be said that the custom of Korea and Mongolia related with horse's giving birth was originated from the wishes to god for fertility and fecundity. On top of that, while Mongolians sprinkled horse's milk both on the ground and to the air hoping they would have increased houses and, thus, secure many dairy products, Koreans wish that they would see the increased number of horses and their healthy conditions through heavenly rituals.
