Purpose: Early diagnosis of breast is of the utmost importance to improve prognosis. We have a limitation for mammography and sonography detecting small cancer. Clinical importance of Breast Specific Gamma Imaging (BSGI) has improved for that reason. So We studied performance evaluation test of count rate and resolution with high sensitivity to the low dose of BSGI. Materials and Methods: BSGI of Dilon 6800, point source of $^{99m}Tc$ from 1.85~148 MBq (0.05~4 mCi) at the intervals of 1.85~37 MBq (0.05~1 mCi) was used for the test. Performance evaluation method was performed for measuring deadtime for choosing at the 5 different point in the useful field of view (UFOV), acquired image for 60 seconds. Compared with reference of clinical uptake distribution of breast, activity increased according to the distance change 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 mm in the useful field of view. Results: Counting curve increased according to the activity from 1.85 MBq (0.05 mCi) to the 74 MBq (2 mCi), and it change flat shape over 74 MBq (2 mCi). The variation of the full width of half maximum (FWHM) to the distance is 4.05, 4.73, 5.77, 6.90, 8.00, 9.32 mm in 1.85 MBq (0.05 mCi), 4.30, 4.80, 5.90, 7.00, 8.10, 9.07 mm in 3.7 MBq (0.1 mCi), 4.90, 5.60, 6.20, 7.20, 8.20, 9.10 mm in 5.55 MBq (0.15 mCi), 5.30, 6.10, 6.60, 7.00, 7.90, 8.70 mm in 7.40 MBq (0.2 mCi). Conclusion: Distortions of image would be acquired because of the deadtime in BSGI. We found out the fact that specification of $^{99m}Tc$ reaction under 74 MBq (2 mCi) for BSGI. Second, FWHM distribution change from varied distance from the detector, clearly distinguished the location of the lesion.

한반도 주요 지체구조구에 대한 최대지진을 지진 및 지질자료를 이용하여 여러 가지 방법으로 결정하였다. 한반도에서 발생한 가장 큰 지진은 MMI IX - X의 범위에 걸치며 이는 M= 7.0 - 7.7 에 해당한다. Gumbel의 극대치 제3분포를 이용하면 지체구조구별 최대지진은 M = 7.1 - 7.9의 범위에 놓이고, 응력방출 양상을 분석하면 M = 6.7 - 7.7 가 도출된다. 단층길이와 규모와의 상관관계에서 최대지진은 M = 7.4 - 7.6 에 놓인다. 한반도의 주요 지체구조구 사이에 최대지진의 현격한 차이를 나타내는 지진 및 지질학적 증거는 없다. 역사지진의 평가에서 강진들은 대략 1 계급( M=0.7) 과대 평가되는 경향이 있으므로, 한반도의 최대지진은 대략 M = 7.0으로 추정된다.

Subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) system is considered one of the most effective methods for water application. A 2-year field study was conducted to investigate the effect of SDI systems with various dripline spacing (0.7 or 1.4 m) and position (under furrow or ridge) on soybean (Glycine max L.) production at a sandy-loam soil in Miryang, South Korea. For 2016-2017, average grain yield in SDI irrigated plots, $3.16Mg\;ha^{-1}$, was statistically greater than rainfed irrigated plot ($2.63Mg\;ha^{-1}$). Soybean grain yield averaged $3.25Mg\;ha^{-1}$ for the 0.7 m dripline spacing and $3.07Mg\;ha^{-1}$ for the 1.4 m spacing for the two-year period compared to a rainfed irrigated average of $2.63Mg\;ha^{-1}$ for the same period. Soybean treated with SDI system had significantly greater values of normalized difference vegetation index and stomatal conductance, indicating that soybean plants in SDI plots had greater photosynthetic and stomatal activity due to the higher water availability in soil. Irrigation water use efficiency (IWUE) was greatest in the plot of 0.7 m spacing installed under ridge position than any other plot across growing season. Average soil water content in plots with 0.7 m dripline spacing was $0.21m^3\;m^{-3}$ at 5 cm depth layer, which was 45% greater compared to the plots with 1.4 m spacing, even though the gross irrigation amounts were greater in 1.4 m spacing plots. It is concluded that wide dripline spacing (1.4 m) is probably the more economical installation design for SDI system compared to 0.7 m spacing in this study soil because the initial cost for dripline may be reduced with wide spacing design, even though the IWUE is greater in the plot of 0.7 m dripline spacing.

A study was undertaken to determine the thermal inactivation of Escherichia coli O157:H7 as influenced by the effects of temperature, time, suspension medium and ascorbate. Tryptic soy broth was more heat resistant than pfosphate buffer (pH 7.1), with D values of 1.52~1.68 min at 6$0^{\circ}C$ and 1.51~1.63 min at 7$0^{\circ}C$ compared with 1.52~1.65 min at 6$0^{\circ}C$ and 1.26~1.61 min at 7$0^{\circ}C$ for phosphate buffer as suspension medium. E. coli O157:H7 was completely inhibited within 30 min when small inoculum (106 CFU/$m\ell$) was heated at 7$0^{\circ}C$. When E. coli O157:H7 was preheated at 48$^{\circ}C$ for 60 min in phosphate buffer before heating, D values were 1.28~1.60 min at 6$0^{\circ}C$, and 1.13~1.56 min at 7$0^{\circ}C$, showing that preheating increases the heat resistance of the strain. Phosphate buffer containing ascorbate (0.001 M) was enhanced the thermal inactivation of the strain when inoculated as large inoculum (109 CFU/$m\ell$), while ascorbic acid was no effect at low cell concentrations (109 CFU/$m\ell$).

Thirty-four strains of Lactobacillus species were isolated from soil and eight of these isolates (M1-4 and P1-4) were capable of growing on red ginseng agar. The M1 and P2 strains were determined to be L. plantarum and other strains (M2, M3, M4, P1, P3 and P4) were determined to be L. brevis. Fermentation of red ginseng extract (RGE) with strains M1, M2, P2 and P4 resulted in a low level of total carbohydrate content (174.3, 170.0, 158.8 and 164.8 mg/mL, respectively). RGE fermented by M3 showed a higher level of uronic acid than the control. The polyphenol levels in RGE fermented by M1, P1 and P2 (964.9, 941.7 and $965.3\;{\mu}g/mL$, respectively) were higher than the control ($936.8\;{\mu}g/mL$). Total saponin contents in fermented RGE (except M1) were higher than the control. RGE fermented by M2 and M3 had the highest levels of total ginsenosides (31.7 and 32.7 mg/mL, respectively). The levels of the ginsenoside Rg3 increased from 2.6 mg/mL (control) to 3.0 mg/mL (M2) or 3.1 mg/mL (M3). RGE fermented by M2 and M3 also had the highest levels of Rg5+Rk1 (7.7 and 8.3 mg/mL, respectively). Metabolite contents of ginsenoside (sum of CK, Rh1, Rg5, Rk1, Rg3 and Rg2) of M2 (13.0 mg/mL) and M3 (13.9 mg/mL) were also at a high level among the fermented RGE. Protopanaxadiol and protopanaxatriol content of ginsenoside of M2 (10.9 and 5.4 mg/mL, respectively) and M3 (11.0 and 5.7 mg/mL, respectively) were at higher levels than other fermented RGE.

The multiple 7S globulins composed of two fractions (A and B) in the electrophoresis with Davis' method were isolated at different stages of the soybean seed development. Electrophoresis of their subunits liberated in PAWU solvent [phenol-acetic acid-water (2 : 1 : 1) solution plus 5M urea] yielded 4 major bands. Observation of both the electrophoretic bands of the multiple 7S fractions(7S-A and 7S-B) and those of their subunits was suggestive of a similarity of the subunit pattern between two 7S fractions. The two fractions in multiple 7S globulins were isolated with DEAE-Sephadex A-50 column$(2.0{\sim}100cm)$ chromatography. They were separated into 2 fractions in a linear gradient concentration of 0.28 to 0.40M NaCl with phosphate buffer (pH 7.8) containing 10mM ${\beta}-mercaptoethanol$(ME). The isolated protein was dissociated into subunits with two different solvent systems; in PAWU solvent and in Tris-HCl buffer(pH 8.0) containing 1% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and 40mM ME. The dissociated subunits were subjected to electrophoresis in PAWU-treated 7.5% acrylamide gel and in 1% SDS-treated 5.6% acrylamide gel. In PAWU gel electrophoresis, total 7S globulin was separated into 5 major bands, two of which were occupied in common by two 7S fractions(7S-A and 7S-B). In SDS gel electrophoresis, total 7S globulin was separated into 7 major bands, three of which were overlapped with the subunit of the two 7S fractions. The above results alluded us to the presence of a common and/or similar subunit between the multiple 7S globulins.

An acidic protein, RCG-2, containing chitinase and ${\beta}-1,3-glucanase$ activity conccurrently was purified from rice leaves by chromatofocusing and gel slicing. The purified enzyme gave a single band on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and its molecular weight was appeared to be 29.7 kd using SDS-PAGE. This enzyme also had lysozyme activity. The optimal temperature for both enzyme activities was $40^{\circ}C$, optimal pH were 4.0 for chitinase activity and 7.0 for ${\beta}-1,3-glucanase$ activity. $K_M$ and $V_{max}$ values for chitinase were 7.86 mM and $0.025\;{\mu}M/min.$, and those for ${\beta}-1,3-glucanase$ were 5.95 mM and $0.16\;{\mu}M/min.$ respectively. TLC analysis of the enzyme hydrolysates of chitooligosaccharides indicated that this enzyme acts as endochitinase.
