Cnidium japonicum a biennial plant belonging to the family Umbelliferae, is a halophyte that grows in high-salinity areas of coastal sand dunes and sandy shores. This study was conducted to investigate the constituents, antioxidant activities, and physiological activities of C. japonicum. Mineral analyses revealed that potassium, sodium, calcium, and magnesium were the most prevalent minerals in C. japonicum. We used 80% ethanol, 80% methanol, and distilled water as solvents to prepare extracts from C. japonicum tissues, and the obtained extraction yields ranged between approximately 26% and 32%. Among the three extracts, the ethanol and methanol extracts had higher total polyphenol and flavonoid levels than the water extracts did. The antioxidant activities of methanol extracts were the highest among the various solvent extracts of C. japonicum as was the elastase/collagenase inhibitory activity. In contrast, the ethanol extract exhibited the highest tyrosinase inhibitory activity. Furthermore, the methanol extract possessed over 80% BACE1 (β-secretase) inhibitory activity at a final concentration of 20 ㎍/mL. Therefore, these results indicate that methanol and ethanol extracts of C. japonicum may be useful as antioxidant and functional substances in food and pharmaceutical material.

Epoxy resin without any hardener can harden in the presence of hydroxide ions in cement mortars and concretes at ambient temperature. The purpose of present study is to examine the hardening properties of hardener-free epoxy-modified mortars by curing conditions. The hardener-free epoxy-modified mortars using diglycidyl ether of A epoxy resin are prepared with various polymer-cement ratios, and subjected to initial moist/dry curing, initial steam(90℃) curing, initial steam/heat(80℃, 100℃) curing.As a result, degree of hardening of epoxy resin in initial moist/dry cured, initial steam cured and initial steam/heat(80℃) cured hardener-free epoxy-modified mortars is decreased with increasing polymer-cement ratio. However, it is markedly improved with additional dry-curing periods. On the other hand, regardless of the polymer-cement ratio and dry curing periods, degree of hardening of hardener-free epoxy-modified mortars with initial steam/heat(100℃) cure is over 95%.

We studied the cardio-respiratory properties in the Japanese amberjack (Seriola quinqueradiata) during acute hypoxia exposure. Fish were exposed to three levels of hypoxia (80, 60 or 50 mmHg) for 60 min at $25^{\circ}C$. Cardiovascular parameters (cardiac output; Q, heart rate; HR, stroke volume; SV, blood pressure; $P_{DA}$) changed little from pre-exposure values during both 80 and 60 mmHg of hypoxia. During 50 mmHg of hypoxia, the fish showed a bradycardia which significantly affected Q, whereas no change in SV. $P_{DA}$ increased transiently. Arterial oxygen partial pressure ($PaO_2$) immediately reduced along with a decrease of the water oxygen partial pressure ($P_WO_2$). Arterial $O_2$ content ($CaO_2$) decreased significantly only after 60 min of 50 mmHg of hypoxia. Arterial pH (pHa) and hematocrit value (Hct) did not change significantly. Comparing the effects of different levels of hypoxia, oxygen delivery to the tissues ($Q\;{\times}\;CaO_2$) should be maintained a constant over a broad range of $P_WO_2$, however, severely depressed below 50 mmHg of hypoxia.

To obtain the Si solar cells, the Si-wafers were textured by using the IPA+DI water mixed solution with KOH acids during the various 1~40 minutes at the temperature with $80^{\circ}C$, respectively. The samples were analyzed by the scanning electron microscopy for the surface images and the solar simulation for I-V measurement system. It was researched the correlation between the efficiency of solar cells and the effect of texturing. From the results of the surface images obtained by SEM, the efficiency was increased at the sample textured uniformly, and the efficiency of over etched-samples decreased.

It was conducted to investigate an effective control measure of the black necrotic leaf spot disease on pear, The disease commonly occurred in major cultivation areas of Korea revealed 5.6 ％ infection rate on the widely growing cultivar Niikata. The disease substantially reduced yield and quality of pear fruits, however, it has never been controlled by chemicals. Renewal of the pear trees to resistant cultivar was found to be the most effective to control the disease. As a result, the disease did not developed for 2 years on the diseased Niikata that was top-grafted with resistant cultivars Soowhang and Whasan. lop-grafting with resistant cultivars was recommended far the pear trees showing over 80％ infection rate and lower than 70% fruit yield compare to standard production.

Relatively high carbon-14 emissions, which occurred at PHWR Plant during 1998 and 1999, made the site staff to implement several operational improvements: 1) the frequency and volume of the moderator cover gas purging were reduced through increased $O_2$ additions to the cover gas, 2) the 'old' resin columns were not used during re-start of the reactor from outage, 3) efforts were made to minimize air ingress, 4) the maximum service time of moderator ion-exchange columns were restricted to about 80 days. Through the improvements, the carbon-14 emission from each PHWR reactor returned to the normal levels during the remainder of 1999 and during 2000. We carried out a special surveillance at W-1 and W-3 from September 2001 to August 2002 to properly evaluate ways to optimize the use of moderator ion exchange resins from a C-14 perspective. The surveillance showed that only data that provided an operational marker for deciding when to remove the IX-resin column is an observed increase in the C-14 stack emissions themselves. Also, it is shown that any increase over the rate of 0.4 Ci $month^{-1}$ for two consecutive weeks may be the indication for an ion-exchange resin column change, especially if the IX-resin column has been in service for more than 80 days.

Pressure sintered SiC specimens were joined using MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 (MAS) glass which has a thermal expansion coefficient similar to that of SiC. MAS melt showed excellent behavior of wetting on the SiC substrate over 148$0^{\circ}C$, and the wettability was much influenced by the joining atmosphere. The joining was conducted at 150$0^{\circ}C$ for 30 min in Ar atmosphere. The flexural strength of the joined specimen shows 342~380 MPa up to 80$0^{\circ}C$, which is almost the same as that of as-recieved SiC specimen. However, the flexural strength of the joined specimen decreased to about 80 MPa at 90$0^{\circ}C$ due to softening of the glass melt. The analyses od XRD and WDS show that the reaction between the SiC specimen and the MAS melt produces the oxycarbide glass, which had a high strength and a good stability at high temperatures.

We demonstrate an 80km-reach 64-channel DWDM-PON based on wavelength-locked F-P LDs by changing the position of the C-band BLS for upstream channels from the CO to the RN. It mitigates the necessity of the high power C-band BLS and its handling problems. It also reduces back scattering induced penalty. We obtained less than $10^{-6}$ PLRs in all 128channels through 80km SMF. We also demonstrate a 240km-reach DWDM-PON based on wavelength-locked F-P LDs by adding a bidirectional erbium-doped fiber amplifier(EDFA). We show packet-loss-free transmission in all 128channels at 125 Mb/s per channel over 240km SMF We report the detuning effect of arrayed waveguide gratings(AWGs) and crosstalk effect in the implemented system. We Propose an architecture of a next generation defense wire communication system with the demonstrated long-reach DWDM-PON.

A W-band frequency octupler is implemented on 100-nm GaAs pHEMT process. The fabricated octupler can be used as a local oscillator or a signal source of W-band transceivers. Three common-source doublers are connected in cascade to multiply an input signal of 10.75 GHz to 83 GHz. A common-source amplifier is followed for each doubler to improve the conversion gain and suppress the unwanted harmonics. The fabricated octupler showes high output of more than 6 dBm in the 80 - 84 GHz band and achieved excellent spurious suppression performance over 20 dBc.
