This study was carried out to find out the possibility of suppressing the root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) of vegetable crops in vinyl house by soil solarization between crop seasons at Suweon in August, 1986. Soils in vinyl house were sterilized by polyethylene film of 0.03 mm thick with and without inner tunnel within a house(single and double layer solarization), and soil temperatures and nematode densities at 5, 15 and 30cm soil depth were recorded. Rootknot nematodes in soil contained in a vinyl bag were completely killed within 48hr at $40^{\circ}C$ in an incubator. With double layer treatment, the highest temperatures were $48.7^{\circ}C$ at 15cm and $45.2^{\circ}C$ at 30cm soil depth when outdoor temperature was $30^{\circ}C$, and the lethal temperature above $40^{\circ}C$ was recorded for 17 days with 7hr per day at 5cm soil depth from Aug 1 to Aug 31. Due to the increased temperature, root-knot nematode densitiy was suprressed 96,74 and 54% with sigle layer solarization and 100,99 and 98% with double layer solarization at 5,15 and 30cm soil depth, respectively. It is concluded that double layer solarization during hot summer will provide a sufficient level of suppresson on root-knot nematodes remnant in the soil of vegetable crops in vinyl house.

Currently the fish aquaculture industry of Korea is focused on the mass culture of flatfish (Paralichthys olivaceus) and and rockfish (Sebastes schlegeli) with completely controlled culture techniques. Recently, there has been considerable interest in new species development, such as the starry flounder (Platichthys stellatus). The value of starry flounder (Platichthys stellatus) as a raw fish increases with time because it is tasty, light, and bouncy. In this paper, the growth characteristics dependent on the LED wavelengths and the optimal growth conditions of the starry flounder were studied. In these experiments 4 different kinds of LED lighting, configurations were designed and prepared using red, green, blue and white, respectively. The fish aquaculture experiments were conducted over 10 weeks in four fish tanks, each installed with a different color of LED lighting. 10 starry flounders of 13 ~ 17g were placed into each tank. The effects of each color of light on the growth rate of the starry flounders were then examined. As a result, the starry flounders under the green LED lighting showed the highest growth rate, followed by the white, red, and blue LED lighting. Based on these results, a green light provides a suitable breeding environment for the starry flounder.

The study was conducted for the purpose of finding out an objective classification method for the Sasang Constitutional medicine, which divides people into 4 groups of constitution and presents comprehensively physiology, pathology, diagnosis, theraphy and recuperation fit to each constitution. Questionnaire of Sasang Constitution collected during 9 months from March 1995 to November 1995. For the purposes of this study, the collected data were analyzed by crosstabs, variation analysis, discrimination analysis. The analyzing program was SPSS PC+V4.0. The results were as follows : 1. QSCC consists of the authorized questions studied by te oriental medicine specialists based on "four groups" given the diagnosis of Sasang Constitution Classification and variation analysis by scores of body constitution. 2. When human's body constitution is classified on the basis of QSCC scores of body constitutions and classified by the absolute size, group cases correctly classified was So-Yang-In 17.3%, Tae-Em-In 26.4%, So-Em-In 74.2%, Tae-Yang-In 100%. However, the number of examples are rare. Average percent of "group" cases correctly classified was 39.3%. 3. When human's body constitution is classified on the basis of QSCC scores of body constitutions and clasified by the relative size, group cases correctly classified was So-Yang-In 40.5%, Tae-Em-In 29.1%, So-Em-In 49.2%, Tae-Yang-In 100%. However, the number of examples are rare. Average percent of "group" cases correctly classified was 39.6%. 4. If the diagnosis of body constitution applies to the people after discrimination formula applies to them before the scores of body constitution is correctly analyzed, group cases correctly classified was So-Yang-in 50.5%, Tae-Em-In 36.9%, So-Em-In 55.9%, Tae-Yang-In 100%. However, the number of examples are rare. Average percent of "group" cases correctly classified was 44.03%. 5. As discrimination formula is applied and analyzed based on the questions of higher percent of reaction freqency, So-Yang-in 61.4%, Tae-Em-In 48.8%, So-Em-In 62.0%. Average percent of group cases correctly classified was 54.91% and it was percent increased compared to chance probability. 6. Therefore, it comes to the conclusion if we utilize QSCC, we are able to predict Sasang Constitution.

This study was carried out to investigate the meat color and water holding capacity (WHC) characteristics of PSE, RSE (reddish-pink, soft, exudative), RFN (reddish-pink, firm, non-exudative) and DFD pork quality, also the relationship of lightness $(L^*-value)$ and WHC to drip loss were examined. When WHC in M. longissimus dorsi muscle by filter paper press method was measured at 45 min postmortem (45 min p.m.), DFD meat indicated the highest WHC, RSE and RFN pork were significantly different (p<0.05). WHC measured at 24 hr postmortem were not significantly different between RSE and RFN pork (p.0.05). Drip loss (%) were significantly different among the four quality group, but cooking loss (%) of PSE, RSE and RFN pork were not significantly different, except DFD. PSE pork indicated the lowest salt soluble protein solubility. The correlation between drip loss and $L^*-value$ was r=0.61, drip loss increased with increasing $L^*-value$. Also drip loss were moderately correlated with $WHC_{4.5\;min\;p.m.}$ (r=-0.47), with $WHC_{24\;hr\;p.m.}$ (r=-0.52). When drip loss was predictable from $L^*-value$ and WHC, $L^*-value$ was superior to evaluation by WHC.

In order to provide necessary information for better health of workers through understanding the actual status of the industries adopting shift systems. The data were gathered from a stratified random sample of 347 (0.5%) firms selected out of about 70,000 manufacturing industries throughout the nation in 1993. Stratification during sampling was by industrial group and number of workers. The major findings obtained from 288 firms surveyed completely were as follows : 1. About 20.2% of the 288 firms were adopting shift systems and shirtworkers accounted for about 25.1% of the total work force in 288 firms. 2. The bigger number of workers was, the higher the adopting rate of shift system was. 3. The rate of having welfare facilities such as dining room, commuting bus, washing facilities, and health care room etc. was higher in the industries adopting shift systems. 4. The major industrial groups adopting shift systems were the rubber a: plastic goods manufacturing industry (54.1 per 100 firms) and the textile manufacturing industry (44.8 per 100 firms). However, the proportion of shiftworkers was higher in the textile manufacturing industry (70.5 per 100 firms) and the electronics industry (57.9 per 100 frms). 5. The most predominant work schedule was the weekly rotating, semi-continuos 2-crew 2-shift system (47.5%). 6. In the industries adopting shift systems, shiftworkers had an adjusted average of 0.29 spells per 100 workers ($0.14{\sim}0.45$ in 95% C.I.) compared to 0.23 spells per 100 nonshift dayworkers ($0.15{\sim}0.31$ in 95% C.I.) for 1 month. 7. Also, in the industries adopting shift systems, the adjusted average annuel turn-over rate of shiftworkers was 13.07 per 100 workers ($12.03{\sim}14.12$ in 95% C.I.) compared to 10.18 per 100 nonshift dayworkers ($9.53{\sim}10.82$ in 95% C.I.).
