This work was conducted to investigate the important rooting factors through comparative analysis of a physiological differentiation after layering treatment using four apple rootstocks of different rooting abilities; M.26, M.9, O.3, and Mo.84. Mo.84 showed the highest rooting rate in from rootstocks, while O.3 was the lowest. Mo.84 also found to have the highest indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) content, although the fluctuation of IAA contents was not consistent with layering treatment. In contrast, abscisic acid (ABA) content of Mo.84 which showed highest rooting was lowest among rootstocks regardless of layering treatment. And ABA contents of all rootstocks were decreased after layering treatment than before layering treatment. O.3 which showed poor rooting rate revealed lowest in boron content. Carbohydrate/nitrogen (C/N) ratio of Mo.84 was the highest in all rootstocks. Therefor, we assumed that he IAA contents in layering treated rootstocks were not seemed to be a major rooting factor, but the changes in ABA contents and boron levels limit rooting in dwarf apple rootstocks.

In order to leach Au and Ag from gold-silver bearing sulfide concentrate, the sulfide concentrate was ground in a ball mill for a dry pre-treatment and a wet pre-treatment process. Mineralogical studies and thiourea leaching experiments were carried out with the pre-treated sulfide concentrate. The results of the pre-treatment with the concentrate samples showed the mean particle size and iso-electrical potential was smaller in the dry pre-treatment sample than in the concentrate sample, and the contents was lower in the wet pre-treatment sample than in the dry pre-treatment sample. In XRD analysis, amorphous properties were only shown in the wet pretreatment sample. The results of the concentrate sample leaching experiments showed that the best Au, Ag leaching parameters were when the addition of thiourea was at a 1.0 g concentration, ferric sulfate was 1.0 M, sulfuric acid was 2.0 M and the leaching temperature was at $60^{\circ}C$. The Au, Ag leaching rate was always much greater and faster with the wet pre-treatment samples than with the dry pre-treatment samples. Accordingly, it is expected that more Au, Ag can be leached in an eco-friendly methodology using wet pre-treatment. The pre-treatment could be improved with an optimized grinding additive reagent and through researching grinding time in future non-cyanide processes.

Investigations were conducted to prevent entrance of Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) with very fine mesh nets. B. tabaci vectors tomato yellow leaf curl virus in tomatoes. B. tabaci could be completely prevented to penetrate into an 83 mesh net, though few of them passed the 60 mesh net. An independent 60 mesh net cage was built within one of the three interconnected common plastic greenhouse ($21.0{\times}18.3m$) in order to find its usefulness as a crop protection tool from insect pests. TYLCV infected tomato plants were not detected, though a few eggs of B. tabaci and mines of Liriomyza trifolii (Burgess) were detected locally at the entrance of the sliding door. There were practically no significant differences between treatments of nets and the conventional plant height, leaf length and width, number of floret clusters, sugar brix, and product yield. In viewpoints of commercialization, it could be considered highly prospectful to apply to the nets to glasshouses or other greenhouses in which the growing period of crops is long, if the nets were used in the openings of sides, ceilings, and entrances of the greenhouse. However, it might be necessary to take preventive measures for occurrences of insect pests living in soil, temporarily or permanently, as well as high humidity diseases.

Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum M. cv. ‘Momotarou’) and hot pepper seedlings (Capsicum annuum L. cv. 'Nockkwang')were grown under the 24h photopeliod (12 hrs light period: 12 hrs dark period) and 6 h photoperiod (3 hrs light period: 3hrs dark period). As a result of this experiment, the following details were observed. Plant height, leaf area, total dry weight, and leaf chlorophyll content decreased in case of tomato seedlings when they were given 6 h photoperiod. But the same effect was not observed in case of hot pepper seedlings. The photoperiod, however, did not produce any significant effect on the uptake of N, P, K, Mg and Ca ions in their nutrient solutions with the exception of their Fe. On thc 10th day of treatment, leaf chlorosis started to become visible in tomato seedlings and at the same time the uptake of Fe went down when the 6h photoperiod was applied to both tomato and hot pepper scedlings. In addition to this phenomenon, the sucrose content in leaf increased in case of tomato plants which were treated with 6 h photoperiod; on the other hand, their glucose content was observed to have decreased.

Wild yeasts were isolated from domestic non-sterilized Makgeolli and their fermentation characteristics were analyzed to select the best fermentation seed culture. A total of 65 yeast strains isolated yeasts from non-sterilized Makgeolli and Nuruk. In order to select fermentable strains, hydrogen sulfide, $CO_2$ production ability, alcohol tolerance and aroma component production ability were analyzed. To screen the aromatic strains of isolates, media containing cerulenin, 5,5,5-trifluor-DL-leucine (TFL) and API ZYM kit were used. There were 36 strains resistance to cerulenin and all strains produced esterase and demonstrated tolerance against TFL. Hydrogen sulfide, which could degrade the quality of the fermented beverage, was not produced in 34 yeast. The correlation between alcohol tolerance of yeast and carbon dioxide production was analyzed by principal component analysis. YM22, YM31, YM32 and YM37 produced a total of 0.14-0.18 g/72 h of $CO_2$ indicating high fermentability. Alcohol tolerance was measured by alcohol concentration. YM32, YM37 yeast had 20% alcohol tolerance. As a result, alcohol and flavor characteristics of wild yeast isolated from non-sterilized Makgeolli were analyzed and it was confirmed that yeast was suitable for the production of alcohol.

Experiments were carried out to examine the effects of the different levels of oxygen, ammonia and hydrogen sulfide on survival, specific growth rate (SGR) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) of juvenile shrimp, Fenneropenaeus chinensis. Survival of the shrimp exposed to the hypoxia with $\leq$2.5 mg/L dissolved oxygen for 24 days were significantly affected. SGR and FCR of the shrimp exposed to$\leq$3.0 mg/L dissolved oxygen were significantly reduced than those of shrimp reared at 6.8 mg/L dissolved oxygen concentration. Survival of the shrimp exposed to $\geq$2.0 mg/L of ammonia levels for 24 days was significantly affected. Moreover, compared to the control group significant decrease of SGR and FCR of the shrimp has been observed with $\geq$1.0 mg/L and $\geq$0.5 mg/L of ammonia concentrations. In case of hydrogen sulfide, $\geq$0.5 mg/L was the critical level showed its significant negative effect on survival rate of shrimp exposed for 24 days. While, the group exposed with $\geq$0.07 mg/L and $\geq$0.05 mg/L hydrogen sulfide levels had a lower SGR and FCR values than did the control group in the same stipulated time of exposure.

Electrum-sulfide mineralization of the Youngbogari mine area occurred in two stages of massive quartz veins that fill the fractures along the fault/shear zones in the Precambrian gneiss. Ore mineralogy is simple, consisting of arsenopyrite $(31.4{\sim}33.4atom.%As)$, pyrite, sphalerite $(4.1{\sim}17.6mole%FeS)$, galena, chalcopyrite, argentite, and electrum. Electrum $(60.3{\sim}87.6atom.%Ag)$ is associated with galena, chalcopyrite and late sphalerite infilling the fractures in quartz and sulfides. Fluid inclusion data show that ore mineralization was formed from $H_2O-CO_2-CH_4-NaCl$ fluids $(X_{CO2+CH4}=0.0\;to\;0.2)$ with low salinities (0 to 10wt.% eq. NaCl) at temperatures between $200^{\circ}\;and\;370^{\circ}C$. Gold-silver mineralization occurred later than the base-metal sulfide deposition, at temperatures near $250^{\circ}C$ and was probably a result of cooling and decreasing sulfur fugacity caused by sulfide precipitation and/or $H_2S$ loss through fluid unmixing.

Groundwater samples were collected from the bedrock aquifers related with Okcheon metasedimentary rocks. Arsenic (As) concentrations in the samples varied between 0.0051 and 0.887 mg/L, with an average of 0.0248. Cations and anions of groundwaters had no relationship with As contents as well as with spatial distribution of geology in the area. Pyrite, chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite in the core samples of the monitoring wells were identified in thin section, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electron probe microscope analysis (EPMA). It was suggested that these minerals are responsible for the As in groundwater. The groundwater showed saturations with respect to calcite $(CaCO_3)$, dolomite (CaMg$(CO_3)_2$) and Magnesite $(MgCO_3)$. $HAsO_4{^{2-}}$ activities in the groundwater samples were close to $Ca_3(AsO_4)_2(c)$ and $Mn_3(AsO_4)_2(c)$ solubility isotherms, indicating that the maximum As contents in groundwater are secondly controlled by the precipitation and dissolution of carbonate minerals due to alkaline and oxic nature of the groundwater (pe+pH>10).

The concentrations of dimethylsulfide (DMS) and carbon disulfide (CS$_2$) were measured concurrently with relevant environmental parameters at Kosan, Cheju during Apr 2001. Results of our analysis indicate that the combined temporal variations of both DMS and CS$_2$ record three distinctible patterns that are separable from each other. For instance, DMS behaved very similarly to CS$_2$ during the 1st (5${\sim}$18 Apr) and 3rd period (23${\sim}$26 Apr). The pronouncingly high concentration of CS$_2$ was maintained during the first period, but DMS values peaked mostly during the third period. It was furthermore striking to find that changes in DMS levels occurred in an opposite direction relative to CS$_2$ during the 2nd period. Although most of these variabilities appear to be associated with the interaction of source/sink processes and the air parcel movement, certain aspects of their behavior are found to be highly complicated enough to account for.
