Electrical conductivity (EC) is a major indicator of soil salinity. Measurement of EC in saturation-paste extract of soil (ECe) is a standard way to evaluate soil salinity. However, many of the data on soil salinity have been obtained by measuring the EC of 1:5 soil-water extract (EC1:5) or salt percentage which is calculated from EC1:5 by multiplying a conversion factor. We analyzed 90 soil samples collected from 9 reclaimed tidelands in Korea, and derived relationships between ECe and dilution factors (DF1:5) which can convert EC1:5 to ECe in 2 soil textural groups at 5 salinity levels. Regression equations between ECe and DF1:5 were DF1:5 = 1.3624In(ECe) + 5.1386($r^2=0.37^{***}$) for soils of more than 50% silt content, DF1:5 = 1.9505In(ECe) + 5.3679($r^2=0.66^{***}$) for soils of less than 50% silt content. And the relationship for all soils investigated was DF1:5 = 1.4001In(ECe) + 5.4865($r^2=0.51^{***}$). From the relationships, conversion factors for calculation of ECe from EC1:5 of salt percentage data were estimated for soils of different textures and salinity levels.

Benzyladenopuyine (BA) commonly used for soybean sprout production is of high price. The study was carried out to determine the effect of BA treatment time during seed imbibition on growth and development of soybean sprouts and to analyse its treatment cost. The soybean seeds of 4 cultivars were soaked in 4 ppm BA solution during the first 5.5 hour imbibition (EFHI), the second 5.5 hour imbibition (SFHI) immediately after 0.5 hour aeration, or whole 11.0 hour imbibition (WFHI) intervened by aeration. On the 6th day after culture, the soybean sprouts were classified into 4 categories on the base of hypocotyl length; ＞ 7cm, 4 to 7cm, ＜ 4 cm and not germinated, and their morphological characters, fresh and dry weights were measured. Water absorption of the seeds was sharply reduced after it was almost done for the first 5.5 hours. The percentage of sprouts with hypocotyls of longer than 4cm was higher in FFHI treatment than in the other two ones. Regardless of BA imbibition time and periods, the lateral roots were not observed. WFHI treatment showed shorter hypocotyl and root lengths but thicker hypocotyl and hook diameters than FFHI and SFHI treatments. All component fresh and dry weights except cotyledon fresh weight were nearly same. Treatment cost of BA was the lowest in SFHI treatment. It is concluded that BA treatment during SFHI is the best time because its treatment time did not affect sprout growth but its treatment cost.

In order to improve the hydrogen storage capacity and the activation properties of the hydrogen storage alloys, the rare-earth metal alloy series, MmN $i_{4.5}$M $n_{0.5}$Z $r_{x}$(x=0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.1), are prepared by adding excess Zr in MmN $i_{4.5}$M $n_{0.5}$ alloy. The various parts in hydrogen storage vessel consisted of copper pipes reached the setting temperature within 4~5 minutes after heat addition, which indicated that storage vessel had a good heat conductivity required in application. The performance test on storage vessel filled with rare-earth metal alloys of 1000 gr was also conducted after hydrogen charging for 10 min at $18^{\circ}C$ under 10 atm. It showed that the average capacity of discharged hydrogen volume was found to be for $MmNi_{4.5}$ $Mn_{0.5}$ and $MmNi_{4.5}$ $Mn_{x}$ 0.5/$Zr_{samples}$ indicated that the released amount of hydrogen for this $AB_{5}$ type alloys was more than 92 % of theoretic value, and also it was found that the optimum discharging temperature for obtaining an appropriate pressure of 3 atm was determined to be $V^{\circ}C$ for $MmNi_{4.5}$ $Mn_{0.5}$$Zr_{x}$(x=0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.1) hydrogen storage alloys. The released amount of these hydrogen storage samples was 125 $\ell$ , 122.4 $\ell$ and 108.15 $\ell$/kg for $MmNi_{4.5}$ $Mn_{0.5}$ $Zr_{0.025}$ $MmNi_{4.5}$M $n_{0.5}$Z $r_{0.05}$, and MmN $i_{4.5}$ Mn_0.5$Zr_{0}$, at $70^{\circ}C$ respectively. Amount of the 2nd phases increase with increase on Zr contents in $MmNi_{4.5}$$Mn_{0.5}$ $Zr_{ 0.1}$/ alloy. This phenomenon indicates that$ ZrNi_3$ in $MmNi_{4.5}$ $Mn_{0.5}$ $Zr_{x}$ / phase, which shows the maximum storage capacity and the strong resistance to intrinsic degradation, is considered as a proper alloy for hydrogen storage. As the Zr contents increase, the activation time and the plateau pressure decreases and sloping of the plateau pressure increases.creases.eases.s.

In order to study effects of herbs on the changes of the taste compounds, color and sensory evaluation of soup stock. The crude protein, free amino acids and nucleotide contents in brisket soup stock were investigated by use of semimicro-kjeldahl method and HPLC. In addition, color measurement and sensory evaluation were investigated. Generally, The crude protein, free amino acids and nucleotides contents in various soup stocks increased by heating time. The crude protein contents in the Go, Ca and A soup stocks increased much more than control soup stock. The free amino acids were the highest content in the Go$\_$5/ soup stock specially, arginine, alanine, glycine, threonine and glutamic acid. The free amino acid contents were lower in C$\_$5/ and O$\_$5/ soup stock than B$\_$5/ soup stock. 5'-IMP, inosine and hypoxanthine concentration in Go$\_$5/(33.4 mg%) soup stock showed highest value. But those in the C$\_$5/(5.8 mg%) and O/sun 5/(5.7 mg%) soup stocks were lower than that in the B$\_$5/ soup stock. From a sensory evaluation, the all of sensory score of samples was not significantly difference.

Misch metal (rare earth element, Ce, La, Nd, Pr) which has large influence on high-temperature stability and toughness was added to the Al-5%Ni-5%Mg alloy, and squeeze casting was used for Al-5%Ni-5%Mg-(Mm) alloys. The effect of applied pressure and misch metal additions on mechanical properties in Al-5%Ni-5%Mg alloy by direct squeeze casting has been investigated. The applied pressure were 0 MPa(gravity casting), 25, 50 and 75 MPa. Squeeze-cast Al-5%Ni-5%Mg-(Mm) alloys had better mechanical properties than those of non-pressurized cast alloys because of the increased cooling rate by the application of pressure during solidification. By the addition of misch metal in Al-5%Ni-5%Mg alloy, better combination of strength and elongation was obtained. The addition of 0.3%Mm in Al-5%Ni-5%Mg alloy improved the heat resistant property due to the formation of fine eutectic phases.

A precursor of bulgecinine, (4S,5R)-1-acetyl-2-formyl-5-benzyloxymethyl-4-pyrrolidinol (15) has been synthesized from diacetone-D-glucose. Barton deoxygenation, conversion to an L-sugar and displacement with $N_3^-$ at C-5, and one-pot reductive cyclization at C-2 produced (6R)-6-Ο-benzyloxymethyl-(3R)-3-methoxy-2-oxa-5-azabicyclo-[2,2,1]heptane(13), a key intermediate for bulgecinine. N-Acetylation and acid hydrolysis of 13 furnished a precursor of bulgecinine, (2S,4S,5R)-pyrrolidinol derivative 15 and its (2R,4S,5R)-diastereomer.

As a new colon-specific prodrug of 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA), 5-aminosalicyl-glycine (5-ASA-Gly) was prepared by a simple synthetic route in good yield. Apparent partition coefficients of 5-ASA-Gly were lower than those of 5-ASA, which determined in$ CHCl_{3}$/pH 6.8 buffer or n-octanol/pH 6.8 buffer system. Stability of 5-ASA-Gly by peptidases was investigated by incubation of 5-ASA-Gly with the homogenates of tissue and contents of stomach, proximal small intestine or distal small intestine of rats at $37^{\circ}C$. 5-ASA was not detected, indicating that the prodrug was stable in the upper intestine. The amount of 5-ASA liberated from incubation of the prodrug in cecal or colonic contents of rats was about 65% or 27% in 8 hrs, respectively, which indicated that the prodrug activation took place more readily in the rat cecum whose bacterial counts are high like human colon. Results from in vitro experiments suggested 5-ASA-Gly as a promising candidate of a colon-specific prodrug of 5-ASA.

Let R be a right near-ring. An R-group of type-5/2 which is a natural generalization of an irreducible (ring) module is introduced in near-rings. An R-group of type-5/2 is an R-group of type-2 and an R-group of type-3 is an R-group of type-5/2. Using it $J_{5/2}$, the Jacobson radical of type-5/2, is introduced in near-rings and it is observed that $J_2(R){\subseteq}J_{5/2}(R){\subseteq}J_3(R)$. It is shown that $J_{5/2}$ is an ideal-hereditary Kurosh-Amitsur radical (KA-radical) in the class of all zero-symmetric near-rings. But $J_{5/2}$ is not a KA-radical in the class of all near-rings. By introducing an R-group of type-(5/2)(0) it is shown that $J_{(5/2)(0)}$, the corresponding Jacobson radical of type-(5/2)(0), is a KA-radical in the class of all near-rings which extends the radical $J_{5/2}$ of zero-symmetric near-rings to the class of all near-rings.
